"A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY"

“The third angel's message is swelling into a loud cry, and you must not feel at liberty to neglect the present duty, and still entertain the idea that at some future time you will be the recipients of great blessing, when without any effort on your part a wonderful revival will take place. TODAY you are to give yourselves to God, that He may make of you vessels unto honor, and meet for His service. TODAY you are to give yourself to God, that you may be emptied of self, emptied of envy, jealousy, evil surmising, strife, everything that shall be dishonoring to God. TODAY you are to have your vessel purified that it may be ready for the heavenly dew, ready for the showers of the latter rain; for the latter rain will come, and the blessing of God will fill every soul that is purified from every defilement. It is our work TODAY to yield our souls to Christ, that we may be fitted for the time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord —fitted for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.” —The Review and Herald, March 22, 1892. {1SM 190.3}
