([Location 154](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=154)) - His intent is that, by removing all restraint, humans will arrive sooner to the inevitable consequences of their choices and will conclude that their way of life cannot result in peace and well-being. ([Location 155](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=155)) - Because comparisons to the activities of the Spirit of God will be lost, discernment regarding Satan’s counterfeits will also disappear, leaving mankind in the condition of being generally unable to tell the difference between the deceptions of Satan and the authentic expressions of the Spirit of God. ([Location 181](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=181)) - The Kingdom of God will be established in stark contrast to the acceptance of lawlessness in the global consciousness. ([Location 188](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=188)) - The House of God will provide safe haven to all those who choose to remember God when the world settles for the feckless activism of mankind’s efforts. ([Location 189](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=189)) - God’s emphasis is on the maturing of His house at this time, and those who choose to act outside of this directive will face an unrestrained society. ([Location 218](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=218)) - Now, God requires his people to enter their rooms and to stop being available to engage the world around them in discussions and debates that only show the hardening of the respective positions. ([Location 234](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=234)) - Although the body of Christ is entering what may be considered a winter season, in which it is likely to appear to be of no great societal influence, this will be a time of great internal growth and maturity in preparation for its reemergence. ([Location 244](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=244)) - In this season of winter in which God is calling His house into order, His intent is to prepare for the new growth when the season changes. ([Location 254](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=254)) - We will begin to see things from God’s point of view and experience a transformation in how we view the events in the world around us. ([Location 259](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=259)) - Things will be understood differently from an eternal point of view than from a temporal. ([Location 260](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=260)) - This change will go a long way toward reducing or eliminating fear, anxiety, and panic. ([Location 261](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=261)) - Also during this time, our place in a spiritual family and our functioning out of that place should be solidly established. ([Location 262](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=262)) - When the House of God reaches the appropriate stage of maturity, sufficient to represent God in the earth accurately, it will be put on display for the world to see. ([Location 273](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=273)) - The wisdom, humility, quietness, and restraint of both the leadership and the people of the House of God will be put on display when the season ends. ([Location 275](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=275)) - The season of being set in order away from public visibility will conclude with a people reemerging clothed with the glory of Christ. ([Location 277](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=277)) - Evangelism will occur not by persuasion of the intellect but in the same manner in which the contrast of light and darkness establishes the superiority of the one to the other. ([Location 285](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00EJROUDS&location=285)) - Those seeking God will be drawn to the light of a city upon a hill.
