Are we prepared?
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a branch will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him--
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding.
the Spirit of counsel and of power.
the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD --
and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.
-- Isaiah 11: 1-3a (NIV)
*************
In those days, John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea
and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
"I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one
who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire."
-- Matthew 3: 1-2, 11 (NIV)
