Watch for the Greatest Victory
An excerpt from a video message of Jane Hansen Hoyt. To view the complete message go to Watch
Throughout church history one of the constant questions in the hearts of God’s people has been, “When will Jesus return?” Jesus Himself taught us in Matthew 24:36 and 42, “But of that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven. But My Father only. Watch, therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” Though we cannot predict precisely that day and hour, we are not left completely ignorant. Jesus instructed us to watch, and we know from His teaching that when certain things happen we can recognize that the close of the age is near. “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilence, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” The New Spirit-Filled Life Bible annotation for Matthew 24 teaches us that the term “beginning of sorrows” means labor pains, which were expected to precede the end, making the transition from this age to the age to come. The severe labor pain, followed by delivery and fulfillment is also a pledge of the end and the joy at the time of delivery. I believe we are feeling these labor pains, the birth pangs, even now. . . . Suddenly it seems everything has shifted. War, both natural and spiritual, has become a stunning reality. We are living in a time of conflict and great intensity. But it is an hour that is preparing us for the greatest victory and the greatest joy we have ever known.

Come, Holy Spirit
Here are some thoughts from Jane Hansen-Hoyt’s FaceBook page.
Mark 1:8 "John said, I indeed baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
We need - we long for a fresh outpouring of His Holy Spirit.
Lord Jesus, come to us with Your Holy Spirit. Cleanse us and baptize us in Your Spirit in a way that will set us on fire, even as You were endued with power from on high and You went about preaching the gospel, healing many who were sick with various diseases, and casting out many demons. As You taught them as One having authority, so we want that same anointing and authority. Come to us.
Turn the hearts of all people back to You.
Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done. In the powerful Name of Your Son, Jesus, amen.
