GOD'S PROTECTION DURING THE FAITH CONFLICT
Stand firm and do not let them shake your faith, because I,
your God and Father from eternity, am with you and remain so, when the
great faith conflict has set in, through which My adversary wants to bring
about the fall of those of you who are Mine. Everything undertaken against
Me will always be aiming at presenting Jesus Christ and His work of Salvation
as implausible. And the denial of Jesus Christ shall be for a manifest
sign of the end, when all faith in Jesus Christ is to be stamped out,
that mankind therefore should have no opportunity to depart from this
earth saved.
My adversary openly confronts Me by proceeding against Jesus Christ, in
Whom I became a visible God. And the more this faith conflict flares,
the more you can be assured of My presence, because I do not allow My
adversary to become victor over those who want to be and remain Mine.
And when they corner you for the purpose of denying My as the divine Saviour
Jesus Christ, when you have to decide between Me and My adversary, then
just trust Me fully and completely, because then I am nearer to you than
ever; I Myself fight alongside you and you need not fear My adversary,
since My power is supreme and shall protect you no matter how threatening
undertakings against you may look.
But then you can count on My deliverance by the hour, you can count on
My return buy the hour and with the end of this earth, whence I shall
remove you at the height of affliction and danger. Do not become doubtful
but remember that I foretold that the tribulation, which you shall bear
for the sake of your faith shall be great.
But the firmer your faith and the more confidently you abide in Me, the
easier the faith conflict shall be for you, because verily, I have the
power to avert even the worst from you, and Mine shall experience My love
and power and hence face this time comforted and fearlessly. But come
it will, because the believers shall be under attack from the rulers and
those who are slaves of My adversary. Mine shall have to give open testimony
and should not fear, because the God of whom they testify shall manifest
His power and help them in earthly want and distress. Those wishing to
remain faithful to Me, be ready for brutal measures against you. But do
not forget that I am Lord over life and death, Heaven and earth, and that
verily I have means and ways to lead Mine out of earthly extremity even
where there appears no way out. And no matter how much they deny subsistence
to you, I shall feed you and quench your thirst miraculously, because
verily this is within My power, who of a truth has created Heaven and
earth and hence made all laws in accord with My Will. And thus I can also
repeal laws, and feed you supernaturally; I can also surround you with
a protective barrier, I can direct My angels to form such barriers around
you.
You only need to faithfully entrust yourselves to Me, your Father, Who
does not abandon His children to peril but protects you against the enemy
of your soul and against earthly and spiritual adversaries. Because My
power and love are exceedingly great. And this is imminent. You shall
until then be exposed to faith tests but these too shall strengthen you
and make you capable of withstanding the final battle on this earth. And
when this conflict flares you know that the end is not far, because My
adversary will wage it for only a short time, and I shall shorten the
days of My elect - I shall bind him and his adherents.
Because the time set for his machinations on earth is fulfilled, and the
end of the earth as proclaimed by seers and prophets is near.
AMEN |
