Sword coming

" But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand."

Ezekiel 33: 6

Everyone who is born of the Spirit has a responsibility to play the spiritual trumpet and announce the good news of the Gospel. Tell the world that the Lord Jesus has resurrected in order to fulfil His promises in the lives of those who believe.

Hunt

"If my head is exalted, you hunt me like a fierce lion, and again You show Yourself awesome against me."

Job 10: 16

Those who are called and chosen by God cannot always resist Him. Sooner or later, they'll render themselves, and will pay whatever price they need to serve Him with all their body, mind, and spirit.

Crushed

"For the LORD has called you like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a youthful wife when you were refused' says your God."

Isaiah 54:6

God has used the torments of life to awaken those who are suffering. When you're crushed spiritually, His Voice is more present and His Ears more audible. If your soul is crying in pain now, take this opportunity and say: yes Lord, I want your help!

Emptiness of soul

"The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever! ."

Psalms 22: 26

Emptiness of the heart can only be filled with the joy of the new birth. It's the exclusive work of the Holy Spirit, nevertheless, for it to happen, there must be a desire from all your heart, mind, and soul to receive it.

Death

" I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O Death, I will be your plagues! O Grave,[c] I will be your destruction! Pity is hidden from My eyes.”
Hosea 13:14

Those who are born of God do not fear death. They're not afraid because they have a divine nature. But those who are not born of the Spirit, their nature remains human. For this reason, only the word 'death' is enough to scare them. Much more it's nearness!

Soul and spirit

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

Hebrews 4:12

When the voice of the Holy Spirit comes to an aflicted soul, it has power to transform it into a new creature.

Vessel

"And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make."

Jeremiah 15:4

When evil prevails in one's life, it torments it daily, destroys it's self-esteem, steps on it, humiliates it, and brings it shame. But once one humbles himself before God, He comes to his rescue so he may become a new creature.
