The seeking and finding, the asking and receiving is not done. There must be no stopping place, while time remains.And this is not a popular thing to say but satan uses these tactics THROUGH us and through our outer man to create chaos, confusion and bitterness. We need to not be unaware of his tactics or he will toss us around.
Saying we have already been saved and/or we have already received the gift of the Holy Spirit are not guarantees that we will also endure to end with Him.
God may have elevated us above our starting place, but while any of our allotted time remains, should we be burying what He has given us in the ground. How may we continue to move or be moved toward the Light?
