Most of us would say that we do not like change. Who does? Change is attached to the unknown, which breeds a plethora of questions to which we can only guesstimate what the answer may be. Worse yet, is the human propensity to “do something”, as if we know what that something may be, especially now. If we have a history of depending and trusting only in the One who can lead us into perfect peace, His peace, then, we know that we must abide in the Lord like never before. And for those who deny that the night is soon approaching, their deception will only grow. These will be those who will say: God, You weren’t supposed to change my life like this!
Lest we grow indifferent as the rearrangements increase, may we remember what Jesus said in Luke 18:1, 7-8, and encourage one another. The day draws nigh:
Also [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up).
And will not [our just] God defend and protect and avenge His elect (His chosen ones), who cry to Him day and night? Will He defer them and delay help on their behalf?
I tell you, He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?

Good word, Eve.
Corrie Ten Boom was a wonderful woman of God who survived being a prisoner in a Nazi concetration camp during the Holocaust. Below is a narration of her advice on how to be an overcomer in the Tribulation.

Thank you. I read her book: A Prisoner and Yet.
The conclusion to the book is that she forgave her torturer while imprisoned.
I have newly experienced the perfect peace of our Savior, over the last six months – for the first time in my 34 years. I never understood how significantly and wholly we could/would be transformed, when its done by His righteous hand. Thank you so much for sharing this affirmation, Eve.
And Mary, thank you so much for the video you shared here, it left me in uncontrollable tears. Connie’s stories are incredible, and her advice is so sound. Memorize the word diligently, that we may boldly overcome. AMEN to that!!!
We so much need the encouragement of those who came before us and were true overcomers!
Thanks Eve.God bless you for the message
May we love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, until the end.
I like the graphic-the pawn left standing. It reminds me of the scripture about ten thousand falling at our side, but none will touch us. Have you ever played chess with just a pawn left? It would seem impossible, but with God, all things are possible!!
Agreed!
