"THOU, IN TOIL, ART COMFORT SWEET; PLEASANT COOLNESS IN THE HEAT; SOLACE IN THE MIDST OF WOE." The FIFTH Gift of the Spirit, FORTITUDE, strengthens the soul against natural fear and supports, to the very end, the performance of duty. FORTITUDE imparts to the will an impulse and energy which move it to undertake, without hesitancy, the most arduous tasks, to face dangers, to trample under foot human respect, and to endure, without complaint, the slow martyrdom of even lifelong tribulation. PRAYER: Come, O Blessed Spirit of FORTITUDE, uphold my soul in time of trouble and adversity, sustain my efforts after holiness, strengthen my weakness, give me courage against ALL the assaults of my enemies, that I may NEVER be overcome and separated from Thee, my GOD and greatest Good. AMEN. This information comes from the

KNOWLEDGE unmasks the pretense of creatures, reveals their emptiness, and points out their only true purpose as instruments in the service of GOD. It shows us the loving care of GOD even in adversity, and directs us to glorify Him in EVERY circumstance of life. Guided by its light, we put first things first, and prize the friendship of GOD beyond ALL else. Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesses it. PRAYER:
COME, OH BLESSED SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE, AND GRANT THAT I MAY PERCEIVE THE WILL OF THE FATHER; SHOW ME THE NOTHINGNESS OF EARTHLY THINGS, THAT I MAY REALIZE THEIR VANITY AND USE THEM ONLY FOR THY GLORY AND MY OWN SALVATION, LOOKING EVER BEYOND THEM TO THEE AND THY ETERNAL REWARDS. AMEN.

It enables us to penetrate the inner meaning of revealed truths and through those truths we are brought to a newness of life. Our faith stops being inactive and sterile, but inspires a new way of living that bears eloquent testimony to the faith that is in us; we begin to walk worthy of GOD in ALL things pleasing and we increase in the knowledge of GOD. PSALM 119:169 "LET MY CRY COME BEFORE YOU, OH LORD; GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD." PRAYER: COME, OH SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING AND ENLIGHTEN OUR MINDS THAT WE MAY KNOW AND BELIEVE ALL THE MYSTERIES OF SALVATION; AND MAY MERIT AT LAST TO SEE THE ETERNAL LIGHT IN THY LIGHT; AND IN THE LIGHT OF GLORY TO HAVE A CLEAR VISION OF THEE AND THE FATHER AND SON. AMEN. This information comes from the

This exact spot is claimed to be a Spiritual Vortex. Montauk Indian Tribal Councils included twelve other local American Indian Tribes and were held at this location. As they gathered to discuss current events, the surrounding base of the rock would spontaneously erupt in flames which was seen as a beacon of light from vessels at sea. Many Supernatural events have been recorded at this place. The ghosts of Indians have been seen by many and the sounds of beating drums often reported. A band of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders died of Tuberculosis here and have also been seen wandering the grounds in Spirit. CLICK ON THIS LINK TO READ MORE ABOUT THIS PHENOMENON ! The second of the SEVEN Spiritual Gifts, The GIFT of COUNSEL endows the soul with supernatural prudence, enabling it to judge promptly and rightly what MUST BE done, especially in difficult circumstances.

The only smart choice is to plod forth into the foggy unknown, hoping to detect and navigate around surprise obstacles in our way. We require LIGHT and STRENGTH and LOVE to see our way through... and having access to the SEVEN GIFTS would make our lives even easier ! The Lord Jesus Christ instructed his Apostles to pray a particular prayer as they waited in Jerusalem,{ enmeshed in their own fear filled fog }, for the coming of The Holy Ghost, { which is known as "The First Pentecost }", who endows these SEVEN GIFTS. 1. THE GIFT OF WISDOM WISDOM embodies ALL the other gifts and is the most perfect of ALL gifts. There is a quote about WISDOM: "all good things come to me with her and innumerable riches through her hands." The gift of Wisdom strengthens our Faith, fortifies Hope, perfects Charity, and promotes the practice of virtue in the highest degree. Wisdom enlightens the mind to discern and relish things divine... in the appreciation of which, earthly joys lose their savor, while the Cross of Christ yields a divine sweetness; according to the words of the Saviour, "Take up your cross and follow me, for my yoke is sweet and my burden light." PRAYER: Come, Oh Spirit of Wisdom, and reveal to my soul the mysteries of heavenly things, their exceeding greatness, power and beauty. Teach me to love them above and beyond all the passing joys and satisfactions of earth. Help me to attain them and possess them forever. Amen. This information comes from the
