I believe we are living in the season of the Lord’s return. The signs spoken of by Jesus and the prophets continue to unfold before our eyes. Jesus prepares us for these days by giving “advanced warnings” concerning trials and perilous times to come. So that we would not be afraid or discouraged, He said, “In your patience possess ye your souls” (Luke 21:19, KJV). To go through difficult trials takes much patience and perseverance. As Christians we don’t have to panic because patience is a fruit of the Holy Spirit which God is so willing to share with His children. No matter how chaotic the world becomes, we can walk in peace and perseverance through the power of Jesus!
