CONFESS JESUS CHRIST BEFORE THE WORLD - GODLY PROTECTION

Who ever declares himself for Jesus Christ his/hers life rests in God's hand, and whether the world and its power declared to him a very bitter battle. For already a power emanates from the mere utterance of the divine Name. The Savior's Love blesses everyone, who has made Him they're own, i.e. believes in Him, loves Him and keeps His commandments. Few people only let themselves be served by Jesus Christ as plumb line in their life.

Whoever endeavors, in all to follow the Lord, will soon stand in (His) Knowledge, and he will never give up the divine Savior and Redeemer, for His Love expresses itself in a piercing way and leaves in the person the longing after the Father in Heaven, increasing constantly and permanently. It is like an unceasing rain, that soaks the parched soil with His indispensable Word, guided from above to mankind on earth and constantly at all times motivating all people to recognize It, Whom the world will deny. And the person should, who (evidently) visually senses the Power out of God, to advocate the Word, he should speak bold and free about everything, what the Lord Himself taught on earth. The person should do everything to first prepare the human heart to receive the Truth, which is mentally conveyed to the person from above.

The Lord Himself says: "Whoever confesses me before men, him will I confess also before my Father…." And therefore Christ made it a duty to the person to stand up for His Name, so that he likewise receives divine assistance, because he desires the aid of the Father in heaven. Who ever stands up for the divine Name, becomes involved in the battle against Him and one will try, to take every memory from the person about His Influence on earth. One will threaten the person with severe punishments, whose aim is to undermine the faith in Jesus Christ as Savior of the world…. And the person will have to fight tremendously, to stand tall against all the suggestive mean spirited powers.

And only the person who is free and strong and able to advocate for Jesus Christ, in believing prayer, presents to God their need and worry and ask Him for protection and power. For this, the Lord allows all His Advocates (who argue on His behalf), because they confess the divine Lord and Savior before all man. Here it will be the divine Force that delivers the visible proof, that it is stronger than all earthly power, it will watch over every kind of earthling, which ever way, in what ever form it confesses the Lord and Savior. And it is therefore that the person does not have to worry, that the earthly force could cause him harm because of being a follower of the genuine Christianity. Though Jesus Christ can never be extirpated from the world of hate and hard-heartedness, even so the battle becomes obvious.

Whoever loves his earthly life, their heart will beat anxiously, and he will pursue the law of worldly force and betray his Lord and Savior to obtain earthly success. But he, who does not fear death, often confesses the Name of the One, Who redeemed the world from all sins. And he will be obliged to atone this through earthly power…. But the Father in heaven holds His hands protectively over the person, and now it will appear to the opponent as if superhuman power is struggling against him, and he will on the Stillness which despite threats be unmistakable, recognize the power of the divine Word and the loving solitude of the Father in heaven, He Who protects His Own, the ones who confess Him before the world.

AMEN
