Listlessness and lazziness a trick of the enemy!

These below quotes show that we can be and yet indeed have been tricked by the father of lies. We all at some time and yet maybe even now have been affected by this attitude. Many are preoccupied with the cares of this life and money seeking, even though we are told the love of all money is the root of all evil. Let us now awake and "look to the hills from whence cometh out help our help cometh from the Lord." God can and will deliver us from our stupor and laziness in studying His word, praying and sharing this special gospel present truth! Be blessed Maranatha!


Elijah Evangelist


From the book Christian Service p. 37:

Satan is now seeking to hold God’s people in a state of inactivity, to keep them from acting their part in spreading the truth, that they may at last be weighed in the balance and found wanting.—Testimonies for the Church 1:260. {ChS 37.3}
Christian Service, p. 37.4 (EGW)
Men are in peril. Multitudes are perishing. But how few of the professed followers of Christ are burdened for these souls. The destiny of a world hangs in the balance; but this hardly moves even those who claim to believe the most far-reaching truth ever given to mortals. There is a lack of that love which led Christ to leave His heavenly home and take man’s nature, that humanity might touch 38humanity, and draw humanity to divinity. There is a stupor, a paralysis, upon the people of God, which prevents them from understanding the duty of the hour.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 303. {ChS 37.4}
Christian Service, p. 38.1 (EGW)
Satan uses the listless, sleepy indolence of professed Christians to strengthen his forces and win souls to his side. Many who think that though they are doing no actual work for Christ, they are yet on His side, are enabling the enemy to pre-occupy ground and gain advantages. By their failure to be diligent workers for the Master, by leaving duties undone and words unspoken, they have allowed Satan to gain control of souls who might have been won for Christ.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 280. {ChS 38.1}
Christian Service, p. 38.2 (EGW)
When I study the Scriptures, I am alarmed for the Israel of God in these last days. They are exhorted to flee from idolatry. I fear that they are asleep, and so conformed to the world that it would be difficult to discern between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not. The distance is widening between Christ and His people, and lessening between them and the world. The marks of distinction between Christ’s professed people and the world have almost disappeared. Like ancient Israel, they follow after the abominations of the nations around them.—Testimonies for the Church 1:277. {ChS 38.2} {Written by E.G. White}
