What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "What does she write about not giving up? For example, about urging a praying congregation, praying together, and not giving up."
Answer
Ellen G. White emphasizes that perseverance and a deep spiritual awakening are necessary for the congregation to thrive. She calls for each congregation to establish set times for corporate prayer, to approach God with united forces and a specific purpose.
Especially in difficult times or when missionary work gets off to a slow start, it is crucial not to lose courage, but to move forward by faith and combine prayers with earnest deeds. Steadfast, God-fearing workers who do not become discouraged in times of need are essential for God's work.
Scheduled Times for Corporate Prayer
»In every congregation there should be set times for united prayer for the advancement of this work. Let all be one and have a specific goal for their faith and petitions. Brothers, move the high heavens with your prayers, so that God may work with the efforts of His servants. We must cry out to God, as Jacob did, to receive a fuller baptism with the Holy Spirit. The time for the work is short. Let there be abundant prayer.«
Not Giving Up Despite Difficult Beginnings
»At the beginning the work is hard and slow. Now is the time when everyone should bend their shoulders to lift the burden and carry it forward. We must move forward, even when the Red Sea lies before us and impassable mountains stand on both sides. God was with us and blessed our efforts. We must work by faith. [...] We should pray, believe that our prayers are heard, and then work.«
Steadfastness in Times of Adversity
»Such patient, prayerful, and persevering faith as these saints of God possessed is rare; yet the congregation cannot thrive without it. It is needed in the church, in the Sabbath school, and in the society. [...] There is always a call for steadfast, God-fearing workers who do not become powerless on the day of need.«
Bold Advancement and Unshakable Faith
»Go boldly forward, trusting that the Lord will be with those who love Him and serve Him. [...] Unwavering faith and selfless love will overcome the difficulties that arise on the path of duty, to hinder the offensive warfare. When those inspired by this faith advance in the work of soul salvation, they will run and not become weary, they will go and not grow faint.«
