The Holy Spirit will come in greater measure to the true saints. The spirit of the False Prophet will enter the majority of the believers. Only a remnant will hold to the truth and be preserved from delusion.

God the Father will arise and shake terribly the earth and the heavens. Satan will muster his forces and do what he can do to debauch the creation in one last horrible manifestation of unspeakable wickedness and filth.

We see the growth of evil in the United States today. People are becoming mean. Sales people are cutting in on the efforts of their fellow workers. Self-seeking individuals are stepping on their comrades and taking credit for the accomplishments of others. People in the trades are suffering as contractors are making every effort to amass wealth by using poor material and lying to the government about the wages they are paying. Farm workers are abused and made to live in hovels with their children while the wealthy farm owners drive off in their Cadillacs.

From the clerk to the chief executive officer there is a display of meanness and self-serving.

We have not mentioned the destruction of the home and the orgies of lust and violence. One prominent writer advises older women to try to get married men to practice infidelity. Her idea seems to be if a woman cannot keep her husband true it is her own fault.

God has an answer for the cesspool in which we are existing. The answer, and the only answer, is the formation and dwelling of Christ in the believers to an unprecedented degree. We are to be given more of Christ.

We don't need more religion we need more of Christ. While evangelism is always necessary, it may be true in the United States today that there is a far, far greater need to disciple the believers in righteousness, holiness, and obedience to the Father than there is for evangelism.

We find in our jail work that a sizable number of those who attend the chapel services have had considerable experience in the Christian religion. Some of them come from strong Christian families, even the families of ministers. Many have made several "decisions for Christ."

Evangelism is needed in the jails and prisons but an even greater need is for discipling.

The purpose of receiving more of Christ is so we may be wise enough, strong enough, courageous enough to faithfully keep His commandments and those of His Apostles.

When others lie to us we are to tell the truth.

When others rage at us we are to be peaceful and courteous.

When others betray us we are to remain faithful to God, looking to Him for the way out of the predicament in which others have placed us.

When others step on us as they claw their way to the "top" we are to remain in prayer, keeping our mind fixed on that which is lovely.

We are to keep Christ's commandments. We are not to fret about the evil that surrounds us but to think about that which is full of hope and joy.

To be continued.
