FIGHT WITH THE SWORD OF THE TONGUE

Take up the fight against everything, which spiritually has a tendency contrary to yours. Fight with the sword of the tongue for it is a 'holy combat'! You are fighters for Me and My Kingdom and while representing Me and My Word before the world everything that is against you spiritually is actually against Me. My pure gospel had to be proclaimed to mankind and for that purpose I sent My disciples into the world to teach all the nations who could win the Kingdom of God in no other way but through the pure gospel - the pure truth. This gospel proclaimed Me and shows the way to Me.

As soon as truth is spoilt, the road to Me becomes a rough one; I am hard to recognize, men are no longer clear about the goal and, therefore, they do not strive for it. If now men are to be shown once again the road to eternal life, truth must first of all force its way out and it must be possible to recognize Me quite clearly. Only then will men again strive for the right goal and they will be able to reach Me, gain beatitude and everlasting life. I am the way, the truth and the life! And you, whom I have chosen and educated to be My disciples during the final time, you know the truth, you received it from Me and are aware of the dangers of error and of falsehood as well as of the great spiritual need in which people find them- selves who are not instructed in the truth. Therefore, error and falsehood are My great enemies and also yours, you who live within truth. You must oppose them, and I keep demanding of you to fight for Me and My doctrine with the sword of your tongue. You will make many enemies who will stand up for their false doctrines with conviction, but you can refute their false doctrines with pure truth and, unless they are open adherents of the prince of darkness, not seeking light and truth and fighting only for themselves and for power instead of for what they have "recognized as right, you will always be able to beat them. Your sword will be razor-sharp and you will be able to refute all that is wrong. My Spirit will guide you and will put the right words into your mouth. Thus I Myself am at your side as Commander-in-Chief, and truth will be victorious, but it may cost the enemy many a casualty as some would rather perish than abandon error and lose power. These are not concerned with pure truth; as representatives of My adversary they seek to darken the light which is held toward them.

Therefore, they will perish in the battle which will have to be fought out at the end of this time, for the prince of darkness will be declaring war on Me, seeking to dethrone Me with falsehood and calumny. Then you will have to step forward and I will speak through you to those who are ruled and guided by My adversary, showing them the way to the goal -to everlasting life - a way which can only be walked through truth.

AMEN
