John and Doves,

The above article is very good as it emphasizes how important it is to not only have our own oil of a willing spirit, but to also have the EXTRA oil of the HOLY Spirit that far exceeds our ability to stay the course during our waiting time for our Bridegroom.

The patience required--while all about us is a world gone mad---needs supernatural strength to still wait and hope and trust in the Lord's soon coming.
"He that shall come, will come and not tarry" Hebrews 10:25

The Rambam--famous Jewish sage--said :
 " I believe with perfect Faith in the coming of Messiah; and though He tarry, I still will wait"
Those are awesome words considering they were said in the 12th Century.

The Apostle Paul said :"We are closer now than when we first believed".

I need those reinforcing statements as I read the headlines each day.
May the Lord come quickly and may I be counted worthy to escape all that is coming upon the world ... Luke 21: 36

Maranatha,
