I saw that many were neglecting the preparation so needful and were looking to the time of “refreshing” and the “latter rain” to fit them to stand in the day of the Lord and to live in His sight. Oh, how many I saw in the time of trouble without a shelter! They had neglected the needful preparation; therefore they could not receive the refreshing that all must have to fit them to live in the sight of a holy God. {FLB 337.4}

Jeg så at mange forsømte den nødvendige beredelse og så hen til »fornyelsens« og »sildigregnens« tid der sætter dem i stand til at stå på Herrens dag og leve i Hans øjne. Oh, hvor mange så jeg ikke i trængselstiden uden en beskyttelse! De havde forsømt den nødvendige forberedelse; derfor kunne de ikke modtage den fornyelse som alle må have for at de kan leve i en hellig Guds øjne.
