Signs of the times

"He answered and said to them, 'When it is evening you say, it will be fair weather, for the sky is red; and in the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times." Matthew 16.2-3
People can tell whether or not the weather will be good from the appearance of the sky, but they are not able to discern the signs of the coming of the Lord Jesus by the social situation in the world. Famine, war, terrorism, violence, drugs, destruction of homes, lack of love, children who kill their parents because of drugs, parents who rape children, prostitution, social injustice, political corruption, moral corruption, spiritual corruption, pests that spread, satanic religions, unprecedented immorality... Only someone who does not reason cannot see the whirlwind of events that point to the end of times.

When in distress

"When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, when you turn to the LORD your God and obey His voice (for the LORD your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them." Deuteronomy 4.30-31
In every promise there is a condition for compliance. Sometimes, because we are more emotional, we let the voice of the heart speak louder and despair at the sight of problems.
God is the Same. Just as He was in the past, He is in the present and will be in the future, forever. When we turn to Him and heed His voice, we reason, and He sustains us.

NEW MAN

"Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you and you will prophesy with them an be turned into another man."       1 Samuel 10.6
The main reason for the baptism with the Holy Spirit is to transform the person into a new man. A man that is according to the character of God, the thoughts of God, the attitude of God and overall, that he is made in the image of God, which was one day lost by Adam and Eve. 
Any other reason for wanting to receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit is a waste of time.

PRUDENT

"The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers his steps."    Proverbs 14.15
People who do not use reason accept the standards of this world and are influenced by the media, the fashion industry and their worldly friends. On the other hand, the children of God listen to and consider His Word, which straightens and gives direction to all the areas of their life.
