Promises of Victory!
Excerpts from Dad's Prophecies & Prayers on Persecution!--Compiled 7/92
In light of persecution the Family has been facing in different countries recently, it has been very encouraging & strengthening to go back & read the wonderful prophecies about persecution that the Lord has given through Dad over the years.  Time & again the Lord has spoken in prophecy about the persecution we will receive because of our witness to the World.--But no matter how fierce the persecution the Lord has promised victory over our enemies. PTL! Below are a few of these prophecies.
Prophecies of Victory in Persecution!
1. And yea also shalt thou suffer for Me! Yea, also shalt thou be crucified for My Name's sake! Yea, also shalt thou be slain all the day long. Also shalt thou be slain for the Words of David & smitten for all that I have spoken through him! But in the end shalt thou triumph over them, for they shall be dust & ashes under thy feet, for thou shalt reign victorious over all the Earth & thou shalt forget the hinder years & remember only that which is called the glorious, golden Age that I have given thee--the Age of all ages!" 
2. For thou shalt go forth as the Sun to enlighten their day. Thou shalt rise as the Moon to give them light in the night, & thou shalt be an ensign unto the nations & a standard before Me. For thou shalt bear the insignia which I do give thee, unto which many shall hearken & follow thee!" (Psalm of David", ML#152:17,34,39)
* * *
3. These faithful ones, these little ones whom they buffeted, shall be raised to everlasting glory, & shall shine as the stars--as they that turn many to righteousness, & as those that remain faithful through Great Tribulation." (ML#A:34)
* * *
	4. Wherefore dost thou fear the wrath of the king, who is nothing in My hands, who shall crumble & fade into dust before thee, for I shall deliver the Kingdom unto My Servant David & unto his mighty men--and all of thine enemies are but puffs of air before Me, & shall vanish away & be no more." (ML#82:7)
* * *
   5.  I shall truly highly honour thee as I have promised, & thou shalt minister to Me, & the radiance of thy beauty shall appear before all, & they which do accuse thee shall be ashamed.--And they which did condemn thee shall kneel at thy feet & ask for water--when thou shalt forgive & pour out unto many." (MOP 141:6)
* * *
	6. Foolish are those who stand against thee, for mighty is thy power by the hand of God. They shall fail, but thou shalt prosper! Every weapon that is formed against thee shalt not prosper, but thou shalt prosper & be mighty above all the kings on the face of the Earth, & I shall rebuke many kings for thy sake, for I am with thee & do prosper thee & shall be with thee in all things. And they shall be blown away as the chaff of the Summer wind & burned as that which is cast in the fire! For thou art Mine Anointed King, & thy children, the City I have chosen, & thy children shall be as the sands of the sea & the stars of the Heavens innumerable, which I have promised to My servant Abraham, of whom thou art the fulfillment of all time & prophecy spoken, for I am with thee & cannot fail & I am thy Saviour & I shall redeem all men through thee & thy children, for thou art the saviours of this Earth. Otherwise, I would cast it forth, but for thy sake, I will save those upon whom thou wilt have mercy & will curse those thou wouldst curse." (ML#128:13)
* * *
	7. Fear not therefore, that which shall come upon thee! For I shall turn it unto thy good! Every device of Man shall be turned back upon his own head, & even these things that shall sound abroad in thy means of voicing the news--the bulletins--shall all serve thee, & that which is written shall serve thee, & many people shall hear of thee & I shall show them that I am with thee, & none shall dare touch thee except by My permission!" (ML#128:20)
* * *
	8. Fear not the things which rise against thee, for all the forces of the Devil shall be as chaff which the wind driveth away, & all the ridiculous little pieces of trash which rise against thee shall be blown away by the Spirit of God! For I am with thee & none shall stand against the power I have given thee!" (ML#128:13,20,35)
* * *
	9. For indeed thou art My Army & thou art My warriors, & I will glorify thee above all thine enemies & receive thee even unto Myself in that great day when I shall judge them & the battle is o'er!" (ML#400:8)
* * *
	10. Even as I have promised you, I will give you the key to the House of David, even so will I make thine enemies dust under thy feet & open doors that are closed & close doors that are opened that they which are of the synagogue of Satan & say they are Jews & are not shall be cast down & exposed. And you shall be delivered, for I the Lord have spoken it & I cannot lie." (MOP 141:42)
Our Children as Endtime Witnesses! 
11. Do you realise that by the time of the End your children are going to be flaming teenage Prophets & evangelists?--The greatest force on Earth--the most powerful witnesses the World has ever known! No wonder they're going to be clothed in sackcloth & witness like those Prophets in Revelation 11! (ML#156:41)
* * *
	12.  You look at our kids & you think, My God!  Even if all the rest of us fail, those are time bombs ticking away, that are going to explode one of these days & blow this World together!" PTL?  Hallelujah! (ML#877:72) 
* * *
	13. We know You'll care for our little ones, You have not created them for nothing! You have made them for a reason, to serve Thee & be Endtime witnesses for Thee, Lord, & a blessing even in these last terrible days! TYJ! PYL! Help us to teach them all we can, to fill their little minds & hearts as much as we can with Thy Word & that which will give them power & strength, Lord, to survive in such days, & guidance, that which will save their souls & minds & hearts & perhaps even bodies for some time--Thy Word, Lord, knowledge of Thee, Thy Spirit, Thy Love! (ML#1347:191)
* * *
	14. I think the Tribulation is going to be our last great revival, our final great witness, our last great harvest of children & teenagers, probably by our teenagers like David & Davida & Techi & all these children we're having now. They're going to be leaders of it, like the little Heaven's Girl that I saw in the dream. (No.1623.) God's going to pour out His Spirit on this generation that's coming up to lead the World in that day, in those Last Days, & manifest mighty power & faith, signs & wonders & miracles! God's going to give His provision & protection. (ML#1648:64) 
* * *
	15. Thank God for our children, amen?--The best kids on Earth & wonderful! They're going to be the salvation of the future! They're going to be the teenage--I started to say terrors--God's terrorists of the Tribulation, rising up in opposition to the Antichrist government & defying it & performing miracles, God doing mighty signs & wonders to protect them & keep them & help them to continue to preach the Gospel in spite of everything. God's going to take care of them right through to the End, & they're going to see Jesus when He comes!
	16. You thought the Lord was just talking about the next 10 years when they are the Future, but they are the Future forever! They are the Future for the Millennium!--The next 10 years & the next 1,000 years! They are going to be the Future, & what works on them now, they're going to be teaching others later, teaching others to teach others to teach others. (ML#1720:64)
* * *
	17. These children are the sweetest, most patient, most wonderful children in the World! My oh my! They're going to be teachers & preachers & Prophets in the Millennium, the Tribulation too, I believe it! (ML#1891:66) 
* * *
	18. They have the youth & the strength & the power & the anointing that's just unequaled that will be needed for those times of trouble! They've got the anointing & they're the new wave, the Future, our tomorrow! They're going to do it no matter what, because they love the Lord & they love me. They'll carry on, they're my treasures of the Future! They know it, they feel it & they'll do it. (ML#2056:7-8) 
* * *
	19. God has given the teenagers almost like an anointing for the Future, a feeling of being special & different & willing to be new & revolutionary etc. (ML#2061:2) 
* * *
	20. The Lord certainly must be going to use all these babies He's giving us! There have  been some  child  Prophets & Prophetesses that I have witnessed in my day. Uldine Utley was such a one once upon a time. Prophesying was her main ministry. She was just a little child, I think she began when she was only about 9 years of age, & she just got up & opened her mouth & the Lord would just roll the prophecies out! (ML#2074:27)
* * *
	21. Look at these little warriors here, would you? Aren't they beautiful? They're going to fight for the Lord & bring in the Kingdom of God! PTL?
	22. PTL! GBY! ILY! (Kisses the children) PTL! Our little warriors, warriors of the faith wielding the sword of God! You're going to be the World's conquerors! (ML#2095:95-96)
* * *
	23. They're not babes! My God, these children are more adult & more intelligent & have more knowledge & are smarter than almost all those church people put together! I'll bet you they've got more wisdom, know more about the Lord, know Him better, know His Word better than nearly everybody in the churches! They're no babes! They're men! They're women! They're strong warriors of the faith, even little Techi here, God bless her, even little Davida here. They came up with the answers when some of you couldn't come up with the answers. Out of the mouths of babes & sucklings Thou hast perfected praise!" A little child shall lead them!" You're going to be the leaders of some of these people one of these days, amen? Praise God! (ML#2175:107)
Prayers of David for Vengeance on Our Enemies!  
	24. Even so be it, Jesus! Thy Will be done, have Thy way. You know what's best, Lord. We stand back, O God, & see Thee fight! Vengeance is Thine, Thou wilt repay, for they have touched Thine anointed & done Thy servants harm till there is no remedy! Even so be it Lord Jesus, so let it be done even as Thou hast spoken, O Lord.
	25. Thou art our God, O God, & there is none else beside Thee, neither is there any like unto Thee, Thou Who knowest the innermost thoughts of the heart & their evil thoughts against Thy children, & their evil intents against Thy servant! For they do fight against Thee, O God, & do lift up evil hands against Thyself & Thy Holy Child Jesus! (It's Jesus they're persecuting! It's like they're trying to reach up for the Lord Himself, & get ahold of Him, & destroy Him!)
	26. Even so let them be smitten as they smite, & stricken as they strike,  & let them fall as they have caused to fall, & let them be carried away prisoner as they have taken captive, & let them be tortured as they have caused to be tortured, for this is Thy Will, O God! Thou shalt mete unto them recompense according to their evil deeds & works, even so be it, as it has been done! (ML#188:15,17,19) 
* * *
	27. I want justice, Lord! I want revenge!--Vengeance on Thine enemies! Destroy them, Lord, that the World may see that Thou art just & that we are Thy children! Vindicate Thy servants, Lord! Vindicate Thy children! Deliver Thy children, Lord, from those slimy serpents & their lying tongues! May they creep & crawl forever in Hell! (ML#2478:11)
* * * 
	28. Help us to put up a little spunk & fight & show a little bit of demanding of our own rights!  Give us wisdom & skill & cleverness & the power of Thy Spirit. TYJ! Hallelujah! PYL! (Tongues:) Behold, I am with thy father David forever & I will uphold him in the right hand of My righteousness until the End!" (ML#1548:67)
* * *
	29. O Jesus, vindicate Thy servants, O God! Vindicate Thy Word, O Lord! Vindicate the Prophets of God, they that proclaim Thy Salvation, O Lord! Vindicate Thy Word, O Lord! Vindicate Thy Word-givers, O God! Give Salvation, O Lord! Give Salvation by Thy miracles of Love unto Thy children that love Thee, they that give Thee the glory, O God!
	30. Push back the forces of evil, Lord, even for the name of Thy Prophet, Thy servant, the name of Thy father David, even Thy Own Name, O Jesus, vindicate Thy servants & Thy handmaids!
	31. In the Name of Jesus, we demand it of Thee, O God! We insist that Thou honour Thy holy Name & Thy holy Word Thou hast given unto Thy Prophets, O God! We command Thee to fulfill Thy Word, to fulfill the Word of Thy Prophets, O God, to honour Thy Name & the Name of Jesus Christ, that Thou help these that seek Thy help, O God, & deliver them from the hand of their Christless, anti-Christ enemies!
	32. Not by might nor by power, but by Thy Spirit, Lord, Thou shalt defeat these Thine enemies which hate Thee throughout all the Earth in every nation upon the face of the Earth, these which go about to destroy them which love Thee, these which go about to deny Thy Truth, these God-damned ones who are anti-Christ, & defy Thee, & hate Thee, & who do not love Thee, & do not give Thee the glory, who despise Thee, & spit upon Thee, & who are not Thy children! My God, defeat the forces of Antichrist! My God, defeat the forces that would spit upon Thy Name! My God, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy!
	33. It is finished, it is written, the things which I have said unto thee shall be performed, thy prayers shall be answered, & thy voice shall be heard. For I have seen thy tears. I have heard thy cry unto Me, & I shall save them for whom thou criest, whom I have ordained to defeat these mighty which rise up against them! Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit shall the mighty be defeated, & they which glorify themselves shall be put to shame!
	34. Don't you see the ruins still smoking? They're still smoking, & when they think all is lost, God shall rise again! And He shall shake Himself like a mighty man of war, & He shall shout with a great shout, even as him which shouteth by reason of wine!
	35. And He shall smite them which are risen up against Him, & He shall shake their land & shall destroy their cities even with a very great shaking, & towers shall fall! Even the places of the great ones shall be destroyed--not by the hand of Man, but by the hand of the Lord! So they shall glorify Me, for they shall know the Lord thy God hath done this! (ML#276:31,39, 49,53,60,82,83) 
* * *
	36. Bare Thy mighty shining gleaming sword! Deliver those that love Thee from them that hate Thee! Destroy the wicked! Deliver Thy children, O Lord, in the Name of Jesus.
	37. Rebuke their weapons, destroy them, confound them, O Lord! In the Name of Jesus! Stop them, cause their weapons to blow up in their own faces. Destroy the weapons of them that destroy Thy children! In Jesus' Name!
	38. Thank You, O Jesus, for Thy hand, for Thy armour, & that beautiful bright & shining gleaming silver sword, O Lord, that destroys Thine enemies! Hallelujah! Thank You, O Lord! Wow! So beautiful! Thank You, Jesus! May it be bathed in the blood of Thine enemies to cleanse Thy land! (ML#309A:25,28,32) 
* * *
Victorious Witness Predicted for the Endtime!
	39. Even the Apostles & Prophets of that first century of those Acts of the Children of God in the opening of this New Testament period could not reach the heights that we are going to attain, nor do the mighty works that we are going to do--for this task has been reserved for you, that they without you could not be made perfect! You are going to finish the job. You are going to help bring about the total fulfillment!  You are going to be the final & glorious victors, even when you seem to be losing, even when you're being overcome, even as you are overcoming by the Blood   of  the  Lamb &  the   word of your testimony, loving not your lives unto the death! Hallelujah! (Heb.11:40; Rev.12:11) (ML#64:10) 
* * *
	40. Those last years will be the most difficult, but as I've said before, I think even then we're going to supernaturally, miraculously witness & shine  so brightly as we have never shone before  until we are still a  worldwide  witness, perhaps a greater witness than ever!--Just through the mighty signs, wonders & miracles we will do in our supernatural protection, calling  down  fire  from God out of Heaven to devour our enemies & being on worldwide  television as amazing things, witnesses that even the  Antichrist  himself cannot stop! With all his power & miraculous abilities &  signs & wonders, he  cannot put an  end  to us,  he cannot  kill us until God has ordained it to be so! (ML#1094:139)
* * *
	41. Now when they shall fall they shall be holpen with a little help."--Dan.11:34. (When some are going to fall, we're going to be helped with a little help. Maybe not an awful lot of help, but at least a little help. And when you get a little help from Jesus, let me tell you, that's all the help you need! (ML#1495:129)
* * *
	42. We need to emphasise more of that positive nature of our powers & abilities that God's going to give us during times of terrible tribulation! It's going to be a time of terrible, awesome events, but we are going to have terrible & awesome powers to protect us & to defend us & deliver us & keep us going right to the End! (ML#1623:13) 
* * *
	43. The Lord is going to enable us to continue till the End & to survive all the onslaughts of the Devil & his Antichrist until Jesus comes. Otherwise there wouldn't be anybody left to rapture! So the Lord is going to have to give His true believers, men & women of God, Prophets & Prophetesses & witnesses supernatural, miraculous powers of self-defence & even of attack on the forces of the Enemy in order to survive & continue witnessing until the Lord comes! (ML#1624:15) 
* * *
	44. Where iniquity doth abound, grace doth much more abound" (Rom.5:20), & in those last, worst, most awful days of all, we are going to be the most powerful witnesses we have ever been! We're going to do the greatest signs, wonders, miracles & supernatural things we have ever done, & we are going to be the greatest witnesses we have ever been! (ML#1703:47) 
* * *
	45. We realise the days are now going to get harder as the End approaches, it will not be so easy any more. There will be more lies & more enemies & more deceit & more betrayers & deniers, more attackers, more falsehood & more persecution to sift us & purify us, as Thy Word says, & make us white, to purge out any dross in us, to make us wholly, totally dedicated to Thee & Thy service unto the death! (Dan.11:35;12:10) (ML#1817:47)
* * *
	46. We're trying to remind you how wonderful things can still be even during the Tribulation, & in some ways even more so!--Because I believe we're going to be even greater & more powerful witnesses! God is going to do many more mighty miracles for us to preserve us & provide for us & take care of us & protect us, I really believe it! (ML#2069:14)
Prophecies Received by Our Family Around the World!
	(The following prophecies were given for the situations in Australia & Japan, however they can be applied to our Family worldwide. For example, this first section applies not only to the children who were temporarily taken by the authorities in Australia, but can be an encouragement & strength for any of our children who are being persecuted now, or who will be persecuted in the future.)
For Our Children in Persecution 
Pray for your children, & uphold your children in prayer, more than ever before! For your children shall come before judges & magistrates & kings. For the light is upon your children, & they are the ones that shall carry the battle with singing & praise. For all eyes are upon your children. Yet they shall be a sign & a witness unto Me, & they shall be a testimony unto the land of Israel. 
	For these are My children, upon whom the ends of the Earth are come. And all that thy children say & all that thy children do shall speak as a witness unto Me. So pray for thy children & pour into thy children more Word than thou hast ever poured before. For all of the mighty ends of time fall & rest upon thy children's tiny shoulders! 
	But I have said that a child shall lead them, & out of the mouths of babes & sucklings have I ordained strength. For even unto thy littlest one shall a witness be given against these lies & against the Enemy. For I have chosen thy children & the World seeks to devour thy children, but they look upon thy children to see the sign of thy life & the sign of thy fruit. 
	So pray for thy children & hold thy children fast with love & a sound doctrine. For thy children shall look upon the days of their training under thee when they are called before judges to speak. And they shall recall that which is hidden in their hearts. So pray for thy children & pour into thy children, more than thou hast poured. And know that thy children even now, even at thy very doors & at thy gates, will be the ones to carry the testimony unto this land. 
	For they are the fruit of thy labours & the fruit of My Love & the fruit of My Endtime, & My witness shall be through My children. Pray for thy children, for the strength must come through them: My strength & My power & My light & My wisdom & My Love. For in all their simplicity there is not another arrayed like one of them upon the Earth.
	So pray for My children, that they may be the witnesses that I have called them to be. And seek to understand them & to hold them & to love them & to care for them, that all that the Enemy may try to do to tear them down at this time shall not prevail against them. But they shall be freer from attacks & all the burdens & onslaughts of the Enemy in their personal lives & in their lives as soldiers, that they may be freer to fight the battle. 
	Again I say unto you, pray for thy children & pour into thy children, more than thou hast poured. For they are indeed those upon whom the ends of the Earth are come!" 
* * *
	Be not afraid of those who rise up against you. Have I not given you the example in My Word of My two Endtime Prophets, & when those came up against them, fire did proceed out of their mouths & devoured their enemies?  Yea, I have put My Words in the mouths of these little ones.  Yea, My Word is a consuming fire & it shall proceed out of the mouths of these & slay & destroy & hinder & delay & consume utterly the lies which have proceeded out of the mouths of these dragons which seek to destroy & to devour My seed.  
I am the Lord Who delivereth.  I have delivered you & I will deliver you.  In many troubles will I deliver you. In famine will I raise you up & from the power of the sword, & ye shall be holpen with My help, saith the Lord; for no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, & as I have  said, every tongue that ariseth against you in judgement, I will utterly condemn.  Therefore fear not, do not be afraid by reason of this great multitude that riseth against you, for they are little in My sight, they are nothing, yea, not even as a drop in a bucket. For My hand doth lift the sword of My Spirit above this situation & I am great to deliver each one that is written in My Book. 
	For yea, the Son of Righteousness shall arise with Salvation in His wings & they shall go forth as calves of the stall. They shall be fed by My hand & protected by Mine arm & nothing shall hurt nor destroy one of these precious ones which abide under the shadow of My wings. Therefore look not as Man looketh, see not as Man seeth, for I am great to deliver that which is born of Me, that which is purchased by My blood.  
	Do I not hover over & shelter that which I have formed?  These are the children of David & I have raised them up as an ensign & as a sign before the World, saith the Lord, & I will defeat their enemies & they shall be as chaff before Me!" 
* * *
	I got Mal.3:17 for the children: They shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; & I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him."
	Malachi 4:1 & 3 says: For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; & all the proud, yea, & all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: & the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts."
* * *
	Ye shall stand before kings & before magistrates for My Name's sake. Only fear not, for I shall give you the words & shall put the words in your mouth & the mouths of your children, & they shall stand up as mighty witnesses unto Me. For even as the mighty power of Rome sought to quench My earlier Apostles & Disciples, it only succeeded in making them grow!--The more they persecuted them, the more numerous they grew & the stronger they became.
	As it was with Herod's campaign against the children of Christ's day & Pharaoh's campaign against My children of Moses' day, so shall I also deliver you by miracles, confounding the evil machinations of the Enemy. So fear not, no good things will He withhold from them that walk uprightly."
* * *
	Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial that is to try you, but rather rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings. Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit. Therein are ye My disciples. These children are My Disciples indeed. They shall be an ensign unto the nations. I have formed them & I have brought them forth. I have raised them up & I have used you to raise them up to glorify Me. Therefore hold them not back, be not afraid, for I will use them mightily & they shall confound their enemies, those that rise up against you. They shall stop the mouths of liars. 
	With great glory will I magnify them in the sight of all people, because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the World. Therefore fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, & I will do great & mighty miracles through them & through you."
* * *
	Thy children have been called to the Kingdom. They shall stand before kings, they shall not stand before mean men. They are anointed, they are qualified, they have My Spirit! They are empowered by Me. All Heaven is on their side. They shall rebuke kings, armies shall flee apace, because this is My plan,  this is My calling on their lives. They are My witnesses. 
	Ye have done your part. Ye have trained them well. Now I am going to empower them & send them forth to fight My battle." 
* * *
	Fear not, nor be afraid of them, for it is the Lord thy God Who doth go before thee. He will not fail thee nor forsake thee. For all these things are written for your admonition, upon whom the ends of the World are come. Look back at the examples that are written, like Shadrach, Meshech & Abednego, & how I delivered them. They would not bow down to worship the image of gold, & although they went through the fire, not one of them was singed, not one of them was burned, but I was with them & I delivered them & they were a witness unto My deliverance. So fear not, nor be afraid of them, for the Lord your God, He it is that doth go before thee. He will strengthen thee."
* * *
	Look at My servant Daniel; even as a young child he refused to eat the dainties of the king & he put Me to the test, that his countenance would shine. Therefore stand up for your convictions & your little ones will do the same. Their faith is in their heart, I have put it there, they will be the testimony. Fear not, they will stand up for their faith! Be not afraid, for the children dare to go where Angels fear to tread. They are My witnesses for this Endtime. They are the Endtime witnesses! It has begun, the Endtime has begun & they have begun their witness! Stand not in their way!--Let them shine, let them be the witnesses that I have prepared them to be from birth!"
* * *
	Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee. Before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee & I ordained thee a Prophet unto the nations. Say not I am a child, for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee. Whatsoever I command thee, thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces, for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. I have this day set thee over the nations & over the kingdoms to root out, pull down & to destroy & throw down, to build & to plant."
* * *
	Turn your eyes upward & look into the heavens for your encouragement & your comfort, for your clarity of mind & pureness of heart, for your vision, for your help.  I will open unto you the heavens if ye will but look up & live.  
For here in Heaven, I have an honour guard of Guardian Angels, much greater & mightier than your eyes have ever beheld before.  But these are an honour guard of Angels specifically commissioned to protect your children, your children which are My children, your seed which is My seed, My precious ones whom I have given you from Heaven. 
For in Heaven, I have an honour guard of Angels assigned to each one of your children, a mighty legion of Angels, specifically commissioned to help to care for, protect & keep your children, especially in their hour of need. 
	For when ye call unto Me, I will help you, & I will send you the help that ye need in every hour of your need.  For ye have at the fingertips of every hand an entire legion of Angels to call upon from Heaven to rescue & to care for, to comfort & to encourage every heart.  For these are not your children, they are My children.
	Therefore, lift up your eyes & keep your eyes upward. Turn your eyes upward to the heavens & you will see with the eyes of My Spirit, that these Angels are for your care, commissioned by Me to care for you.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
* * *
	It is fulfilled, that which was written, that ye would be hated of all men for My Name's sake.  For without this happening, their cup of iniquity cannot be filled.  No weapon that is formed against you will prosper.  Everyone that rises against you will fall, for your sake.  
	Have I not said that ye shall be brought before magistrates for My sake? But fear not;  it is they that are on trial and I will give you a mouth and such wisdom that none shall be able to gainsay nor resist."
	When I got the verse about having a mouth to speak, the impression I had was that the mouth it's speaking of would be an attorney or key witness, someone who would speak on our behalf. I also got Stand in the Gap". The vision I had wasn't that our city was on fire, but that a knight was standing up on our behalf, maybe an attorney. 
* * *
	For the children I got the verse, I will give you a mouth & wisdom that none of your adversaries shall be able to gainsay or resist." The children are going to be so inspired & so bold in the Spirit! All that Word they know is just going to come out!
* * *
	I got a little reproof from the Lord: O ye of little faith, these are My children and I fashioned them in Heaven long before you even knew them. I fashioned them for My pleasure and I have made their spirits to be strong for this time." 
	I got the verse, If I do not care for My Own, I am worse than an infidel," & I will not tempt you above that ye are able."
	I got something along the lines of how the Lord wants the older children of each family to become real bellwethers & real Shepherds for the younger ones. He really wants to make them strong & call them out for this time, to really grow them up,  & have them leave childish behaviour & foolishness behind.
For the Parents
	Therefore does your Father love you, because ye lay down your children that ye might take them again. Ye have power to lay them down & ye have power to take them again. This commandment have ye received of your Father. In times past ye have laid down your wives & I have prospered & blessed you. Now ye are laying down your children for the witness, for My sake, & for the sake of the Kingdom of God, & I will bless you again & even more. 
	For if ye are willing for a time to be numbered with the transgressors, ye shall divide the spoils of the souls of My Kingdom with the strong, & if ye are willing & cheerful to pour out your souls unto this death which cannot hold you down, ye shall bear the sin of many & many shall be saved."
* * *
	He shall feed them like a Shepherd & shall carry the lambs in His arms & carry them in His bosom & gently lead them, & gently lead them that are with young. Fear not, for they are My children. Have I not promised that I will care for My Own? When ye shall come before adversaries & kings, think not what ye shall say, for at that moment it shall be given you what ye shall say. But only look unto Me, for I am your strength & great deliverance!"
* * *
When praying for the parents, I got: Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, & persecute you, & shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, & be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you. As thy days, so shall thy strength be."
  I Am with You!"
	 Behold, I, the Lord, am with thee as a mighty man of war! I rise! I shake myself! I will repay thine enemies! For behold, no man sticketh his finger in Mine eye but I do fight back! Fear not, for this battle is not thine, but Mine! I will fight! I will repay, saith the Lord. Be not afraid, do not tremble. Do not fear for these things which shall come upon thee. For lo, they shall come, but I will be with thee. I will hold thy hand & say unto thee, `Fear not.' For thou art My beloved, in whom I am well pleased, & I will keep thee close to Myself, through all the things that thou must go through. 
	 I will be near thee, I will love thee & hold thee & cherish thee, & speak to thee through My Words. For lo, in these times My Word shall come alive to thee like never before. If thou wilt but cling to it & hold to it, & draw from it, then thou shalt have peace & rest. But do not look to thyself or to thine own arm to save thee, for lo, they shall come to nought. 
	 But only look to Me & I shall lead thee. Only keep thine eyes straight on My face, & I shall guide thee. I shall be more to thee than a light & better than a known way. I, the Lord, am thy God & it delights Me to save thee & to do wonders for thee & through thee, & to empower thee mightily, to make thee a shocking wonder to the World, so that all men shall open their eyes wide & say, `Who are these people that come out from among us? Who are these strangers who do these mighty works before us? We know them but we do not know them. Who are they?'
	 Lo, they shall wonder after thee & they shall desire to know about thee, & thou shalt teach them & thou shalt make My Message known, & make it plain for all to see, that My name be glorified."
* * *
	 Be of good courage; I am with you, & I am with your children. When this wave of persecution comes, you will make it through the waters. It's not that I will deliver you before you go through the water. But in the water, in the fire, and in the fiery furnace, I will be with you and protect you. By this your faith will be tested, strengthened, and will come out of the trial as a much fine gold.
	 All things are under My control. Have faith, trust in Me, and just follow Me."
* * *
	 I will give thee the power that thou needest in that hour. For this battle is not thine but Mine, & I delight to win it for thee. So fear thou not, for I am with thee. Be thou not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness."
* * *
	 For I am with thee, & I have given thee My mighty arm. I have given thee My hands & My mouth & My eyes & My Spirit, that thou mayest discern, that thou mayest see, & that thou mayest be in tune with Me & know what thine adversaries will ask & how to respond. For I have slowed thine adversaries down that thou mayest see them come in slow motion, as I prepare the ambushments for you, & set them against them.
	 Therefore rejoice, sing, shout with joy! For I thy Father am with thee! And my Son, Jesus, is in thee! And My Holy Spirit is about thee & under thee & over thee, & thy little ones. For this battle is Mine! It is Mine! And I shall win! And as I have said before, My sheep from all over the World shall hear from this mighty great witness.
	 And they shall rally under the name of David, for I have raised him a commander of the people, a leader of the people. In these Last Days I shall gather My remnants of Spiritual Israel unto Me." 
* * *
	 Though ye pass through the fire & though ye pass through the deep waters, I have said that the flame shall not kindle upon you, nor the waters overtake you.  Ye shall come out without even the smell of smoke. For all that will live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. And men shall revile you & persecute you & shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My Name's sake, but rejoice & be exceeding glad.  For when your enemies, even the wicked, your foes, come upon you to eat up your flesh & to do damage to your children, when they come against you with spears & swords in their hands, they shall be utterly confounded & defeated. I will rebuke the Devourer for your sakes! 
	 Fear not therefore, little children! Suffer the little children to come unto Me, for of such is the Kingdom of God. And I will keep them & I will care for them. Therefore, fear not & be not dismayed! For though the waves roar & though the waters be troubled & though the flames lick high upon you, they shall not kindle upon you & ye shall not be burned & ye shall not be scorched, neither shall the Enemy be allowed to harm you.  
	 But I will deliver you with My strong right arm which is strong to defend & strong to deliver, & they shall know that there is a God in Israel. And ye shall know that I have delivered with My strong right arm. Be not afraid, only believe!
	 For ye shall suffer many persecutions for the Words of My servant David. For these are the strong meat of the Word. These jewels that I have given unto My Prophet, unto thy father David, unto My servant, even the precious jewels from the dark mines of the Earth which I have sent him to mine for your sakes. Even for these very Words ye shall suffer persecution.
	 Yet I will deliver you time & again! For behold, I am with you always, even unto the end of the World. I will never leave you nor forsake you."
* * *
		 I will bless them that bless thee & curse them that curse thee. Be not afraid of their faces, only believe; for I am with thee. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, & gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee & His glory shall be seen upon thee. The Angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him & delivereth them. 
	 I will go before thee, & make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, & cut in sunder the bars of iron."
Persecution as a Witness!
	 For it is the commission I have given you--to go before this judge & these governors and preach My Gospel. Therefore fear not: here is the job I have given you. Be strong & of good courage, be strong in the power of My might, for ye shall be witnesses unto the Gentiles and shall be a light in this darkness. They shall seek, they shall understand. Go forth in the power of My might. Fear not, I say, for it is My Father's Will to give you the Kingdom. Go forth into the battle, for it is My plan, My plan, My little children. Fear not, I say, fear not!"
* * *
	 For behold, will I not care for My Own? For if I do not care for My Own, I am worse than an infidel. Have I not set you upon a hill?--Set you up on a mountain? So let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works & glorify Me. Let your light so shine to the whole World. Hold not back! For I will deliver you & honour you, with long life will I satisfy you & show you My Salvation."
 * * *
	 Say not ye there are yet four months & then cometh harvest; for behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes & look unto the fields, for they are white already to harvest. There are yet also others who are not of this fold; them also I must bring & there shall be one fold & one Shepherd. For it is not ye that speak, but is the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. Bear ye one another's burdens, & so fulfil the law of Christ."
* * *
	 For I will give you a mouth & wisdom, that none of your adversaries shall be able to gainsay nor resist. I have given you a job to do. Do not come down! Do not hide, but stand in front. Give your testimony! Share with the World everything that I have done for you. And be not afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you!"
 * * *
	 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works & glorify your Father which is in Heaven. Rejoice when ye are persecuted, for it is for My sake, for ye are doing the Will of God. For this I have spoken, that if ye shall do My Will, this shall come to pass. Be not afraid, only believe, for I am with you to deliver you, saith the Lord."
* * *
	 Arise & shine, for thy light is come & the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Kings shall come bending unto thee & they that have afflicted thee shall fall down at thy feet.  For thou hast the key of David, thou hast not denied My Name.  Because thou art little in thine own sight I will highly exalt thee.  For thou art a small nation, but thy light shineth so bright that it lighteth the whole World for all to see.  For a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.  For the light shineth in darkness but the darkness comprehendeth it not, but all those that are of Me will see the light & come to Me.  For if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto Me.  Arise & shine, for thy light is come & the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.  
So let your light so shine before men that they might see your good works & glorify your Father which is Heaven.  I am the Light of the World, he that cometh to Me shall not walk in darkness but shall see the light of life."
* * *
	 Several times I got, Where iniquity doth abound, grace doth much more abound." Right along with that I got, Darkness has covered the Earth, but arise, shine, for thy light is come."  Then I saw a picture of a lighthouse very clearly, with an extremely bright beam of light coming out of it & brilliantly lighting up the landscape.
* * *
	For this purpose was the Son of God manifested, that He might destroy the works of the Devil. If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me." The Lord was saying, Just trust Me, because I let this happen." One reason  was to expose the Devil & another was to draw people to Himself. I had a vision of the Christians going to the arena & the Lord was saying, You are going to be My Endtime witnesses. I am putting you now in front of everybody."  Everyone standing there was dressed in beautiful robes that looked almost like they were made of fire. 
* * *
	 Heaven is opened & the Angels are descending.  More there be that are with you than with them. Greater are the powers that are with you, My children, than those that are with the children of the World.  Greater am I in you, than he that is in the World.  I have overcome them. 
	 All things are of My hand.  And even though it may look unto you as a stone, it is bread, it is a blessing.  It will strengthen and encourage and unite My children around the World.  This is the victory that overcometh the World, even your faith.  
	 Be not weary in well-doing, for in due season ye shall reap, if ye faint not.  Bear ye one another's burdens and let them know that this is My law.  They will see that ye are united and that ye love one another with a love greater than they have.  They will be jealous, they will be envious.  They will see the fruits.  By your fruits they shall know Me."   n
