Cooperation with Heaven

[Viktor]

“Remember that Christ is your chief Educator. It is He who waters the seed sown. He inspires you to speak words that will reach hearts.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p. 41)

“Consecrate yourselves wholly to the work of God. He is your strength, and He will be at your right hand, helping you to carry out His merciful designs.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p. 41)

“When the will of man cooperates with the will of God, it becomes omnipotent. Whatever is to be done at His command may be accomplished in His strength. All His biddings are enablings.” (Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 333)

“In your work for the saving of perishing souls, you have the companionship of heavenly angels. Thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand angels are waiting to cooperate with members of our churches in communicating the light that God has generously given, that a people may be prepared for the coming of Christ.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p. 129)

“He who called the fishermen of Galilee is still calling men to His service. And He is just as willing to manifest His power through us as through the first disciples. However imperfect and sinful we may be, the Lord holds out to us the offer of partnership with Himself, of apprenticeship to Christ. He invites us to come under the divine instruction, that, uniting with Christ, we may work the works of God.” (The Desire of Ages, p. 297)

“Do you not think that Christ values those who live wholly for Him? Do you not think that He visits those who, like the beloved John, are for His sake in hard and trying places? He finds His faithful ones, and holds communion with them, encouraging and strengthening them. And angels of God, that excel in strength, are sent forth by God to minister to His human workers who are speaking the truth to those who know it not.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 8, p. 17)

“In a time like this, every child of God should be actively engaged in helping others. As those who have an understanding of Bible truth try to seek out the men and women who are longing for light, angels of God will attend them. And where angels go, none need fear to move forward. As a result of the faithful efforts of consecrated workers, many will be turned from idolatry to the worship of the living God. Many will cease to pay homage to… [text cut off]

They carry out their mission. Angels speak through their voices and work with their hands.” (Education, p. 271)

“Christ says: ‘I am at your right hand to help you.’ Make known to Him all your trials and perplexities. He will never fail you—you may trust Him implicitly. There is nothing that Christ values so much as His blood-bought church, as the workers who go forth into all places to sow the seed of truth… Think of Jesus. Surrounded by myriads of heavenly angels, ready to do His bidding, He is not idly waiting in His sanctuary. He is commanding them to go and work for the weakest saints who put their trust in God.” (The Southern Watchman, November 7, 1905)
