Overcoming Besetments

By Telitha A. Myers

From Sister Myers.

BRO. SMITH: For the first time I embrace the privilege of speaking through the Review. The Lord, through his tender mercy, has permitted me to hear the third angel’s message, and is giving me a heart to try to live up to all its requirements. I believe he is fitting up a people to stand through the perils of the last days. How much I see the need of reforming. I feel that if I should mingle with the world, run after its pleasures, and feast with them, the Lord would not own or accept me. I want to fully come out from the world, and be found with the people of God when the Saviour comes to gather his jewels. Time is short. I know I have many besetments to overcome, before I shall be able to stand. I can do nothing in my own strength, but the Lord being my helper, I mean to try to overcome. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. I would ask the dear brethren and sisters to remember me at a throne of grace.
