How To Prepare For Tribulation
Pastor Norm Wise
1 Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not become discouraged, 2 saying, "In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect [any] person. 3 "Now there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me justice against my opponent.' 4 "For a while he was unwilling; but later he said to himself, 'Even though I do not fear God nor respect [any] person, 5 yet because this widow is bothering me, I will give her justice; otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.'" 6 And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge said; 7 now, will God not bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night, and will He delay long for them? 8 "I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" [Luk 18:1-8 NASB20]
What is the Spirit saying to you?
13 At times I might shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or command grasshoppers to devour your crops, or send plagues among you. 14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. [2Ch 7:13-14 NLT]
What is the Spirit saying to you?
16 I trembled inside when I heard this; my lips quivered with fear. My legs gave way beneath me, and I shook in terror. I will wait quietly for the coming day when disaster will strike the people who invade us. 17 Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! 19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights. [Habakkuk 3:16-19 NLT]
