Demonstrate the Power

Yesterday here it was a cold and dreary day. It was quite appropriate. Evil powers have ascended to the thrones of men and darkness covers the land.

Not that it was anything really new; evil has long reigned in this country. It is simply going to be a more naked oppression than before. It means persecution, not from the government alone, but from all sides around us.

But this time of tribulation must come. It is decreed in Heaven, and is wholly consistent with what God has done through the ages. We pray for mercy, because nothing good can come from here below. Put no trust in what mere man can do.

Those who stand firm will show the power of faith.
