Compiled  from Prophecies from Our Family Around  
the World* 
 
* Although the prophecies in this FSM were received  
after prayer for Family Members undergoing persecution in Australia  
& Japan, the Lord is also speaking generally to the Family worldwide  
about any persecution we are facing or which may happen in the future,  
to inspire us for the battle, & encourage us that He will win the  
victory!

The Word--Our Help & Strength!
As the rain descendeth from Heaven & showereth the whole Earth & it openeth up & beareth fruit, so My Words refresh your soul. Only believe, for in these prophecies & in these Words & in this counsel & guidance which I give unto you through My Prophets & My holy Angels, you shall find rest for your souls. Stand upon them! Believe them!
For ye are a small people, but I am a mighty God! Ye are a small people, but your Father is in Heaven, which made the heavens & the Earth & the entire universe. Ye are a small people, but behold, ye have Me at your command. Ye are a small people but ye have all My promises & My death on the cross for you, which has brought you closer to Me. 
And in Me ye have all power against the Devil & Satan, for he is only the god of this World. Is this not the time of which I have spoken unto you that ye should pass through? Therefore stand strong & believe, for I have even prophesied unto you of these days. I have given you My Word, I have given you My training & My Prophets to strengthen you. 
Therefore fear not! Rejoice & be exceeding glad, smile within your soul & within your heart! For within your soul & your heart is the sunshine & the sunset of My Love! Stand fast in the liberty that I have called you to & fear not them. They may have a great publishing house, but greater am I that am in you than they that are in the World!"
 * * *
Preach the Word. Be instant in season, out of season. In the Word is your strength. If ye give it out, the Word will manifest its power." 
* * *
My Words are Spirit and they are life. Ye shall find My Words and eat them, for they shall be strength to your soul, and they shall be the marrow of your soul. For it is My Words by My Spirit that shall make you strong. It is My Word that shall win the battle, it is My Word that I am exalting. For My Word is greater than all the things that will try to tear you down. With confidence ye can present My Words. My Word is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. It is My delight even now to send My Word as a mighty force against the enemies that try to prevail against you--but they cannot prevail against My Word!"
* * *
The Words are your strength, they are your guidance, and they are your life. They are the weapons also that I use against the Enemy. My Words shall confound them, My Words shall destroy them, and My Words shall cause them to fall before those that watch them. And they shall know that a Prophet has been among them. For My Word is greater than all, and this is Jesus that you portray. And ye shall have the victory; ye shall have the victory through My Word.
My Word is greater than all, but ye cannot give from an empty cupboard, and ye cannot give from an overstrained shell. All things are clear and all things are made simple as ye take time to fill up with My Word. For I have required much of you, so take heed and be careful lest ye be drained and start to fight in your own strength, for ye shall not prevail against the Enemy in your own strength or in your own spirit."
* * *
For ye are doves and they are wolves. I send you amongst wolves. And though ye are harmless, ye are powerful with My Word. Strengthen yourselves, and the battle shall be made clear through My Word. Take time for Me, and I will take time to speak to you. For it is My battle, not yours."
* * * 
Lo, I have given thee this glimpse of the future, but stay close to Me & I shall lead thee. Only keep My Word in thy heart. Keep more of it in thy heart. Keep on keeping it in thy heart, & it shall keep thee, it shall lead thee, when thou hast no other Word to lead thee."
* * *
Arise, shine, for thy light is come & the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For I am with thee & I will not leave thee. And this battle is Mine & I will fight with thee & for thee. 
For I am proud of you, My children. Be not weary in well doing, for in due season ye shall reap if ye faint not. 
Hold fast that which thou hast, that no man steal thy crown, for thy crown is great. For thou standest up for the Truth & I am proud of thee! Proclaim the Truth! Hold not back! Scatter it abroad! Let them hear! For they shall know the Truth & the Truth shall set them free. Fear not, for I am with thee to empower thee & give thee all that thou needest & I will not leave thee, I will not forsake thee. 
Hold true to My Word, hold on to My Word, for it is a mighty weapon & it shall work many miracles here among these people. Hold fast to that which thou hast, for My Word will be a lamp unto thy feet & a light unto thy path. My Word is mighty, My Word is strong!"
* * *
I had a vision of all of us building a wall around our children. We were encasing our children in a wall of Word to protect them from the World. The Enemy was attacking us on all fronts, but some of our brethren were standing outside of the wall with swords. I was getting the verse: Be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord." Our brethren were standing completely solid with gleaming swords pointing outward. They weren't really moving at all, but the Enemy was running himself through on the swords. The thrust was coming from the Enemy & they were defeating themselves! All we were doing was just standing fast & pointing the sword of the Word out, & the Work was going on!
* * *
I got Deuteronomy 4:7,9,10b: For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon Him for? Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them to thy sons, and thy sons' sons . . . that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they shall live upon the Earth, and that they may teach their children."
Our Sample!--Stay on the Wall!
`I am doing a great Work & I cannot come down!' For lo, I have given you a job to do, I have given you a mission & I will fulfil it. Therefore fear not that punk Satan, for My Will is greater & higher than that which is in the World. Therefore fear not any of these things that shall come upon you, for I am with you & I have given you a job to do. 
Hearken not to their voices & hearken not to their threatenings. Behold their threatenings, for I will threaten them. Behold the things that they have breathed out, I will recompense unto them, for I am with you & you are doing a great Work & cannot come down from the wall. I have placed you upon the wall, therefore take within thine hand the sword of My Spirit, as ye go about your work, to keep the Word within your heart & to attack with prayer & to watch & pray, as ye work the works that I have given you to do, for it is of Me.
I have given you this work & I will complete it. Therefore, attack in the Spirit, that ye may stay strong & that the work may be completed, for I have yet much to do through you. This little punk Satan will try to hinder & stop, but he is but a punk. Therefore stay close to Me & I will perform the works. Look not to the right hand nor to the left, but look to Me, your Maker!--And pray unto Me! Fight the good fight of faith & I will bring forth that which I have started!"
* * *
Tremble not! For I have called you to My Kingdom for such a time as this. For have I not said that if ye shall live a Godly life, ye shall suffer persecution? And have I not said that it is given unto you not only to believe on Me for My Name's sake, but also to suffer for My sake? 
I have called you as ensamples, My children, you upon whom the ends of the Earth have come. Feel not inferior, but superior! Make your faces as flint, for I have called you as Prophets & Prophet- esses. I have put My Word in your hearts, & I have called you to go forth. Therefore fear not! 
Fear not for this little punk Satan, as he wiggles his tail & as he wiggles his tongue. For I shall put a stop to him. Watch & pray, & as you work, lay not down your weapon, & I shall strengthen your arm. I shall give you My right arm & My right hand & you shall wield the weapon of prayer, & the sword of My Spirit & My Words, & ye shall defeat the Enemy & his lies!"
* * *
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel. Stand back & see Me fight, saith the Lord. Hold fast that thou hast, lest another steal thy crown. I have chosen thee & this is thine hour. Shine for Me & come not down from the wall."
* * *
Stand back & see Me fight, saith the Lord. For the fire that shall come out of My mouth is the fire of My Word, & I shall pour it out of your mouths. Be fitly joined together, an Army tightly joined. For as the rays of light grow narrower & narrower & tighter & tighter as they get closer to the source, so ye must draw close to Me, My children, for this battle.  Ye must come close to Me & in so doing ye shall be closer to one another. 
There can be no schisms in the body. Let the stronger lift up the weaker. Strive not to see each other in the flesh, but in the Spirit. Strive to see only Me in each other that ye may be joined & united. For when ye go into this battle & the Enemy shall come up against you, the scoffers & the mockers, which there shall be, ye must be fitly joined together, a tight unit & a tight fit with its fingers tightly joined together, so that none can break through your lines. 
Strive to love one another as I have loved you, for by this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one for another. Shield to shield & spear to spear, let no one break through your ranks--no demon, no lies, no fiery darts of the Enemy. Be ye fitly joined together.
Whatsoever things are pure & just & honest & true, speak only these things. When ye speak one of another, speak only of Me, for I am in all of you & I live in the hearts of everyone here. 
For when I send you forth, I send you in the power & the might of My Spirit & ye shall be fitly joined together. Therefore I would have you strong in My Spirit, not in the flesh, but in My Spirit. Then will I do mighty miracles. Then will I show this people that I am with you, that ye are the children of a living God & not a dead god."
* * *
I've been getting Nehemiah, chapter 4; some specific verses are: So built we the wall, & all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof, for the people had a mind to work. But it came to pass that . . . the Arabians & the Ammonites . . . heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, & that the breaches were beginning to be stopped, then they were very wroth & conspired all of them together to come & to fight against Jerusalem & to hinder it" (v.6-8). It's like these press conferences; they have international implications, with people being sent to fight us & conspire against us.
But in verse 9 it says, Nevertheless, we made our prayer unto our God & set a watch against them day & night, because of them." 
* * *
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they shall behold,  glorify  God  in  the  day of visitation . . .  whether it be to the king as supreme, or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by Him for the punishment of evildoers & for the praise of them that do well. For so is the Will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men" (1Pet.2:12-15). 
I also got the verse, Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works & glorify your Father which is in Heaven" (Mat.5:16).
I Will Be Your Strength & Your Exceeding Great Reward!"
Kings shall be your nursing fathers & queens shall be your nursing mothers, for I have raised up these who fight for you.  Yea, I have raised up Gamaliels, I have raised up kings to succour you in your hour of trouble, & yea, I am your great King which doth deliver & succour you & give you that which ye need. Therefore be not faint, for if ye faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. Yea, I will be your strength & your exceeding great reward."
* * *
Turn your eyes neither to the right nor to the left, but look straight unto Me.  For it is in Me that ye shall have your strength.  Oh, My little children, be not weary with the trials of the flesh, for yea, I know that ye mourn for your flesh children, but oh, how My Father mourned for Me when I was hung upon the cross.  And He did not rescue Me prematurely, but yea, consider the victory that was won!  
Let it not be said of you that `there were not many mighty works done there because of their unbelief.'  Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ & ye shall be saved.  Prove Me now therefore at this time, prove Me herewith!  For many mighty works shall be done!  For this victory is Mine, saith the Lord, & I shall be vindicated!  Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. For I have delivered, I do deliver, & I will yet deliver!  
Look not as Man sees.  Lean not to your own understanding or your own logic.  Ye must hunger for the spirit of David. Ye must see in the Spirit as he does.  Yea, I will reveal unto you & give you the discernment & the wisdom that ye need, & the fight ye need.  Be not discouraged, be not dismayed.  Fear not, for I am with you, I am with you.  I will deliver you. For yea, these children are Mine!  Have I not said it?  Yea, have I not promised it?  Hold that fast which ye have, that no man take thy crown!"
* * *
Be thankful for your Family, be thankful for your service, be thankful for your time together, for the days do wax worse & worse. For the Devil is as a roaring lion, walking about seeking whom he will devour. Strengthen yourselves, strengthen yourselves, cling to Me, look to My Word. Bury My Word in your heart, & I will be a light unto you & lead & guide you in the way which you shall go. 
Fear not what Man can do unto you, for I say, greater am I, & great victories shall come out of these seeming defeats."
* * *
It is not My Will that any of these little ones should suffer.  Are they not Mine Own?  Do I not care for them more than thee? Will I not loose the bands that bind them and set these captives free?  Yea, I have done it in times past and I will do it again. 
For whatsoever ye ask in prayer believing, ye shall receive. For I will show Myself strong on  behalf of those whose hearts are right with Me." 
* * *
God has empowered unto good all them that seek Him, but His power & His wrath are against all them that forsake Him. The Name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runneth into it & is safe."
* * *
He that sitteth in the Heavens shall laugh. The Lord shall have them in derision. Therefore, fear not, for I am your God & your testimony & your peace & your great fortress round about you, which no human power can touch, which is above all earthly powers, & none can stand against you. 
For I am your God & ye are My children, & they are but specks which shall be blown away."
* * *
Seek the Lord and His strength, seek His face continually" (1Chr.16:11).
* * *
(From Brazil:) This is a personal testimony; maybe it can be an encouragement. When we were persecuted at the Combo & we knew they had come to take our children, that was the thing I feared the most. (Thank the Lord, they were detained only a few hours for interrogation.) But the Lord really empowered me & I could feel Him so real. He gave so much faith to me, & also to the children & all of us. 
The Lord is so real at times like this. Before it happens, you fear it, but when you go through it, the Lord is more real than ever before. He is just right there. A lot of us had asked for prayer against fear, & we didn't have any fear. The Lord gave us grace that didn't come from us; we didn't have it, it was the Lord. 
My own child, who usually had a spirit of fear, was so bold & so trusting at that specific time! The Lord took all the fear away & gave them spirit helpers!
* * * 
And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.  And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, and took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, `Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.' And the Lord said unto Moses, `Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.'  And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea" (Exo.14:23-27).
Fear Not!
Fear not, nor be afraid, for the Lord thy God, He it is that will go with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. I have called you & chosen you to My Kingdom for such a time as this. 
All these things happened unto them for ensamples, upon whom the ends of the World have come. Therefore stand fast in My faith & in My might, for the battle is Mine, saith the Lord. Fear not any of these things which are come upon you. For ye are My children, ye are not your own, ye are bought with a price.
Therefore glorify God in all your ways, acknowledge Me and I shall direct your paths. I will lead you and guide you & prosper & bless you & none shall be able to stand against you. 
For I have called you as My chosen ones, My little ones, even if I call My little ones to battle to fight for My Name. For they are precious in My sight. All things work together for good to them that love Me."
* * *
No greater love hath any man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in Heaven. Fear not, little ones, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. 
Fear not, for I am with thee, I will deliver thee, I will help thee, and yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness. I will deliver thy children.
Blessed are ye when ye are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for yours is the Kingdom of Heaven. But for the Elect's sake, those days shall be short."
* * *
Again I say, fear not, but only trust. Fear not, only trust, for I delight in your faith & your trust. 
Ye have but to reach forth the hand of faith, for I am more willing to give the victory than you are to receive. Is anything too hard for Me? Will I not care for My little ones? These are My children, My little ones in whom I am well pleased.
Why do you fear? Fear not, for I am with them. I will be their Father & their Mother, & I will comfort them with My Word. For I shall release them, for they are Mine. Fear not, have faith.
For ye shall see a mighty victory out of seeming defeat, & ye shall shout the victor's song, for I will vindicate My servants. Nothing is too hard for Me. 
Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the victory. This is the victory that overcometh the World, even your faith. By faith ye shall have the victory!"
* * *
I saw a picture of a big Army, adults & children together, and they all went on the attack to fight the Enemy, to fight the Devil's forces, which were in a big castle. All the Devil's forces were scared of our Army & of the Lord Who was with us! It was a very strong message not to fear, but just to go on the attack & fight, because the Lord is with us! TYL!
Help in Captivity!
My arm is not shortened that it cannot save, & My ear is not heavy that it cannot hear.  Before you call, I have already answered.  God is your refuge & strength & a very present help in time of trouble.  I have seen your tears, yea, I will deliver them.  I will comfort them.  
Did I not say, `When thou passest through the waters they shall not overflow thee, & when thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned?'  Just like the three Hebrew children that were put in the fiery furnace, I will be with thy children. I will hold them with My right hand. Fear not, for I am with thee. Be not dismayed, for I am thy God.  Yea, I will help thee, yea, I will strengthen thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.  
I will raise up kings & magistrates.  Did I not promise that I would raise up Gamaliels?  Did I not promise, `Be not afraid of their faces, for I will be with thee?' Trust in Me, for vengeance is Mine, & I will repay!  All things will work together for good to all them that love Me.  I will strengthen your children, I will bring them closer to My bosom to prepare them for the coming years."
* * *
For lo, did not I break the shackles on Peter's hands & feet &  open the gates & the bars that were before him, that he might walk through those prison doors led by an Angel? Did I not do this? Will I not perform that which I have promised thee? For lo, I am with thee & I will be with thee always! 
Look not to the right hand, neither to the left. Go in the Name of the Lord & say only that I have sent thee. And behold, I will be with thee to deliver thee this day from the bonds of thine adversaries!"
* * *
Think it not strange concerning the fiery trials that have come upon you, as though some strange thing happened unto you, but rejoice & be exceeding glad, for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you. So troubled they the Prophets that were before you, but the Truth goes marching on, & ye must go marching on with the Truth of My Word.
As for these wicked men, they too must come to judgement, but remember what I said unto you: if ye suffer ye shall also reign. The kingdoms of this World shall be handed over unto you, & then & only then shall Truth & justice & mercy be known in this land. But the World is soon brought forth unto judgement; the Truth has been publicised in a way that it has never been published before, & people are making a decision. I am now sifting the hearts of men, & soon they shall stand before Me & I shall be the judge. 
You must go forth with the Words that I have given you & you must continue to uphold these little ones in your prayers. 
But fear not for these little ones, for they too are called, they too have their purpose; & My grace shall fall upon them & My comfort & My peace shall fall upon them. They too have been called, even these little ones, even these little ones so small. When I put forth My sheep I go before them, & even now I am with them. I will comfort them, & I shall be their Shepherd, & I shall give them rest & sleep. They shall know that I am with them & they will know Me as they have never known Me before. I will become so real to them & so near to them, & they shall be strengthened, & I will carry these little ones in My hand."
* * *
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek Me and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord. And I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord. And I will bring you again into the place from whence I caused you to be carried away captive." 
* * *
I was reminded of a dream I had two days ago, where we were being incarcerated, a group of us just like this. But we were very calm & peaceful; we weren't afraid or fearful. All of a sudden, a voice spoke in my ear &  said, He gives His Angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways." And in the dream it seemed very very important that I didn't forget to keep saying that verse. It was as if someone was saying, Don't forget that verse! You have nothing to fear! He gives His Angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways."
* * *
I was feeling so sorry for the children, & then I had a vision of them. In my vision the situation was not sad at all--they were like Heaven's Children & I saw that the Lord is taking care of them. I also got Psalm 91.
* * *
Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the Devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist, steadfast in the faith. Moreover I have suffered imprisonment & bonds, but the Word of the Lord is not bound."
The Importance of Prayer!--Watch & Pray!
And truly all things work together for good for My children. They indeed are My children. I am at the controls. For I shall give My Angels charge over them to keep them in all their ways. But ye must pray! God forbid that ye should sin in ceasing to pray for them. Pray without ceasing. Pray & pray & pray again. Be sober, be vigilant, for your adversary, the Devil, knowing that he hath but a short time, walketh about seeking whom he may devour. Rejoice & be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in Heaven.  For so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you. 
For all of these children are a special breed & I have called them for such a time as this. They shall be a great testimony & a great witness unto Me. Only pray & I shall answer. Continue ye in prayer & I shall answer. Be not slothful to pray, be not lazy in prayer. Pray without ceasing. I say, pray without ceasing. Cease not to pray for them!" 
* * *
Watch & pray, that ye enter not into temptation. For the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the Devil, as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.--Whom resist steadfast in the faith. For behold, I will give you a mouth & wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 
But ye must watch & pray. Pray without ceasing, for this is the Will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. And so much depends on your concern & prayer."
* * *
Beloved, pray for My children. For behold, I have commanded you to pray for the situation here. But forget not also to continue to uphold in prayer your brethren in these other lands. For although I have won many mighty victories there, the Enemy still walketh about seeking whom he may devour. Your prayers are still needed in those lands too. This is the commission I have given unto you, to uphold your loved ones in prayer." TYJ!
I was getting the impression that if we pray for the Family in these other lands & continue to uphold them in our prayers, the Lord will also answer our requests for ourselves here in Japan, too.
* * *
Beloved, pray for your children & His children. Pray for your brethren, pray for your kings & queens, pray for your lawyers & helpers that I am raising up; for those that I have raised up to help you are indeed mighty & strong ones. But their might & strength is nothing compared to what I can give them if you pray for them. Sin not in ceasing to pray for them. 
Watch & pray that ye fall not into temptation. Lean not to your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Me & I will direct your paths. For the strength that I give comes from prayer & seeking My face. Call upon Me & I will answer you & show you great & mighty mighty things which you know not, to defeat your enemies & make them as dust under your feet. Call upon Me, I say! Pray without ceasing! Continue to pray for your brethren in the Lord."
* * *
I got the verse, Verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove" (Mat.17:20). If we just have a little faith when we pray, the Lord can easily take care of all these lies & these mountains of the Enemy. We don't have to work it up, just trust in His Word & He'll do it. 
* * *
I got a vision of the people who are our media spokesmen & they were like lights, connected up to this big generator, & the generator was our prayers. We, the people praying for them, were the generator, & the fuel for the generator was the Word that generates prayers, & the prayers light up the people. I got that not only for this situation now in Japan, but for anyone who's having to face the media anywhere--in England, Australia, wherever--the generating power comes from the Family praying. 
* * *
I got a vision where everything was dark, & in the midst of the darkness, at the end of it, there was light--a house that was lit up. Its shape was like a pyramid, a pyramid of light, & the way toward that house of light was all chained. As we were praying, there was a powerful sword or something that was cutting the chains. But you had to use it; it didn't just break the chains by itself, you had to cut them, like guys in the jungle use machetes. So as we were praying in tongues, it was like we were cutting chains. There were lots of chains to cut to get to the pyramid of light, but we were cutting them as we were praying, running & cutting. 
* * *
God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you" (1Sam.12:23).
* * *
What things soever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them & ye shall have them. Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them. If ye shall ask anything in My Name, I will do it!"
For a Shepherd in a Persecuted Area
As the Good Shepherd, as I lay down My life for the sheep, I send you to lay down your life for the sheep, for their encouragement. Go therefore! I shall give thee a mouth, speaking My Words, great things. Fear not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, I am thy God. I will strengthen thee, I will help thee, & I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness. And afterward shall the children of God return & they shall seek the Lord their God, & David their King, & shall fear the Lord & His goodness in the Latter Days."
* * *
This is My chosen one, for I have chosen him to go forth to fight My battle. But this is My battle. As long as this one stays humble in his sight, I shall be able to empower him with My Spirit, with My Words, so the Enemy cannot gainsay; & I shall manifest My power & all the World will hear & see the victory you will win. 
I have anointed this one with a double portion of My anointing. Therefore fear not! Go into this battle! I shall give you the victory, & you shall indeed encourage & strengthen your brethren. But be humble in your sight so that your weakness can be My strength, for I am the One Who can give you the victory. 
Keep looking unto Me, for the waves are so high. Don't look at the waves, don't look at yourself, but keep your eyes stayed on Me."
* * *
It's the Spirit of your Father which speaketh through you, therefore fear not, little one, what thou shalt say, for in that selfsame hour, I will put in thy mouth the words to say to encourage My flock. But I have a need of a commander on the battlefield, a general who will rally the troops, who will signal the Truth with a clear sound of the trumpet. And I have appointed you to go in My Name, to represent David & the forces of Heaven in this land of darkness. 
Therefore lean on Me & look to Me & stay in the Word of David, that My children may constantly see the banner of David lifted on high. For I have sent you as a banner into the battle, & for as long as you lift that banner of David, My children will see the victory ahead, & the encouragement that they need will be drawn from seeing their commander-in-chief willing to fight those battles with them. 
Therefore fear not what thou shalt say, but speak the Words of David to My children. Bathe yourself in the Word & in all the ammunition that I will be providing. For I have chosen you as a vessel, both to receive & pour forth, but you must receive, that you may pour forth.
Acquaint yourselves with all that I have given for this situation, that you may know the plan that I have ahead for My children in this land. Fear not the lies of the Enemy, for there will be many, but heed not the left nor the right, but keep your eyes & your ears stayed on Me, & speak those Words of comfort to My children that they may not fear. 
Therefore whisper continually those Words of strength & light & encouragement & love, so that they may not even hear the thunder & the bombs & the noises all about them. I have yet many Words to speak unto My children in this land, therefore continue to acquaint yourselves with those Words, that you may witness unto My children in these days of heavy battles ahead. 
Have I not said that the victory is Mine & vengeance is Mine? Fear not what the future holds, but trust in those Words that I have spoken unto you for this hour & this day." TYL!

I was getting a picture of you standing sideways, with one arm outstretched to Dad & Mama & the other to the brethren there in Australia. It was really important to the Lord that there be someone like a standard bearer that people can look up to, but all you have to do is just receive from the Lord.
It takes a lot of strength--you were standing for a long time; it takes the Lord's strength, endurance, & patience, to hold your arms up & stand in that kind of position, but I got that the Lord would be your strength & patience. As the Words were flowing from the Folks, they helped & encouraged the people. I had the impression that it would be important to give the Lord the credit. When people see flags & banners, the standard, it helps them to have the courage & faith, so they can march on to victory. You have to keep your eyes on Jesus!
* * *
I saw a vision of you in God's hand & you didn't have any shape or any form, you were just very soft & almost like water. I had the feeling & impression that you cannot have your own ideas at all, because otherwise you would get in the way of the Lord doing things. It reminded me of the Elixir of Love: sometimes He used you in liquid form to put on people's hearts & the broken-hearted can be healed & mended. Sometimes  He  puts  you  in   a  form,  like cement, on broken walls, & then the walls get strengthened. Sometimes He just puts you up like a banner so that people can see you. So you can become anything, as long as you remain a formable, bendable creature in the Lord's hands.

I actually saw a vision of a Book, the Word, but it was closed. It seemed to represent that all the material that had been sent wasn't as open & being used nearly as much as it should be. It wasn't passed around & talked about & witnessed about as it should be.
Maybe your commission would be to put a lot of focus on the Word--to pass it on & make sure that they get it. Not just to say, Oh, here's the Book," & keep it closed, but read it with them, feed it to them, make it a united reading or just give them some specific guidelines & go through it with them, or help them schedule their reading of the Word.
Get Stirred Up to Fight!
For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the Devil. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the World, & this is the victory that overcometh the World, even our faith. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, & hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Thou, therefore, endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the Saints. And they overcame them by the blood of the Lamb & by the Word of their testimony, & they loved not their lives unto the death.
Finally, My brethren, be strong in the Lord & in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, & maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. 
And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, & whatsoever thou shalt bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven, & whatsoever thou shalt loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven. Blessed be the Lord, my strength, which teacheth my hands to war & my fingers to fight."

When the Enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.  For no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, but you shall rise up in judgement & condemn them.  But if thou hast run with the footmen & they have wearied you, how will you do with horsemen?  And if in the land of pleasantness you are weary, how will you do in the swelling of Jordan?  Therefore I say unto thee, rise up & fight!  Rise up & trust!  Rise up & give Me your battles!  Lie not down before the System's idol!  Trust not in lying words, saying, `The temple of the Lord are these.'  Trust not in lying words, but trust in the Lord your God.  Stand up & say, `Hell no! We have not even begun to fight!' 
And I will raise up fighters unto you, in the very courtroom if necessary, & ye shall have your advocates, ye shall have your strength. Only look unto Me!"

Behold, as I have purged Gideon's ranks of the weak & unbelieving, so have I done unto this Family, that I might make of you mighty men of valour & fighters for My cause. Therefore, be not fearful, but be believing & full of faith. 
For I have called you to fight many battles that I have for you, & ye shall fight. Ye are men of faith, & ye shall go forth & conquer the land for Me. For behold, ye have not resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Therefore be not fearful, but believing. Ye must stand forth & fight for Me, for who else will do it if ye will not. For none other than the men of David have been chosen to do this."

Ye are not only the Family of Love, but also My Endtime Army. Therefore I give weapons into your hands, which are My Words. Ye must go to the battle as soldiers and brave men looking forward to the battle. Ye must learn how to fight. Ye must learn how to wield the sword of My Word. It is a sword in your hands that will bring you victory. 
So what dost thou fear? Thou hast the right weapon, thou hast the right Commander. What dost thou fear? Dost thou fear those men who are to die? Nay, rather fear Me, I  Who am able to destroy both soul and body in Hell. Stay close to Me, & thou shalt never fail, for I am the Commander Who cannot fail. Walk close to Me; walk right beside Me, and thou wilt not be disappointed. 
It was Peter's failure that he followed Me afar off. But stay close to Me, & fear not what thou shouldst say or speak, for My Spirit will lead thee.  
Do good today whilst thou canst do good. Be desperate & pray for My children in Australia. Pray with all thine heart. Be desperate for them, and pray as though thine own children were snatched by the Devil's hands. 
For thou canst change the wind by getting desperate in your prayers for them. This power is in thine hands, & this power depends upon thy will. When thou shalt stir up thy will and call unto Me with all thine heart, I shall answer thee. Thou must stand against thine enemies with righteous anger, righteous indignation. 
Thou must be angry at the dirty works of the Devil, and fight against him with perfect hatred. To destroy evil and to hate evil is to love  righteousness. Therefore heed My voice and pray for My children."

The first thing I saw was the picture on the MO Letter, The Spiritual Warfare Depends on Us" (ML#2327), in which the Angel sent to Daniel is fighting with the demon prince of the kingdom of Persia. Dad says the Angels can be delayed because there is a big fight going on in the Spirit World.
Then the vision kept going & I saw all these Angels fighting with devils, & the verses Daniel 10:12 & 13 came to me. In my vision, the Angel was saying that he was fighting with the demon prince of the kingdom of Australia and the many gods of that land. I heard that twice really clearly. 
It showed me that there is a real big fight going on!--There is a certain evil spiritual power who wants to delay the Angels from going there. The encouragement was from Daniel 10:12 & 13 where it says, For from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard & I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia." Daniel's prayer was already answered. They have already heard our prayers, but it is just taking time because of this fight in the Spirit World.

I shall teach thine hands to war; therefore fear not, but go to battle, for I am with thee & shall never leave thee nor forsake thee. When thy father & mother forsake thee, I will lift thee up."
* * *
Stand back & see Me fight! The children of David are not bound but free. See that ye be not put on the defensive, but that ye attack in every way."   n
