Are you ready?

Spirit"

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" [2
Timothy 3:15]

your light so shine..." [Matthew 5:16]

Jesus? Do you possess "a good profession before many
witnesses" ? [1 Timothy 6:11-12]
7) Are you following after righteousness, godliness, faith,
love, patience, meekness?
8) Do you have a heart in communion with the Spirit of God in a
