Body must function together - Gerald D Waterhouse - December 2, 1985

Gerald D Waterhouse

Have you felt this way? Some brethren feel they are not a vital part of this great work because they are not being used as ministers or full-time employees. Perhaps they have no direct responsibility in their congregations. The result? Some let feelings of discouragement and despondency come over them. Why? Could it be that the adversary - Satan - knows discouragement and despondency are the easiest ways he has of keeping us from doing our part? Satan is desperately trying to get each of us to neglect the gift of God's Holy Spirit (I Timothy 4:14). If he can succeed, we will become unprofitable - unqualified to enter the Kingdom of God (John 15:6)! Satan is against God's Kingdom! The one thing Satan hates above all else is for the Kingdom of God to be established on this earth. Naturally! Because Satan and his demons are going to be stripped of their authority when this great event occurs (Revelation 20:1-3). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
