* Although the prophecies in this FSM were received after  
prayer for Family Members 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! 
 
If you feel you just don't have the time to read all of  
this FSM right away, you are not required to do so. (See LNFs No.165.)  
But we do encourage you to read it when you can, as the beautiful  
Words the Lord has given through our precious Family Members are wonderful  
for prayer primers & for your own strength & inspiration!

Prophecies from Our Family Around the World!*
Fighting in Prayer!
	Pray, for thy every prayer will be heard & answered. I will make your prayers showers of judgement upon your enemies. Yea, & I shall make your prayers showers of blessings upon your head. 
	 And ye shall be still & ye shall know that I am God & I shall fight for you. For I am here, even now, fighting for you! I am here with you as My legions of Angels with their swords drawn. If you could see these things, behold, they are all about you. They are even now working for you. As you pray, things will happen & things will be different. 
	 Because I have given you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven & whatsoever ye shall loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven, & whatsoever ye shall bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven, therefore loose My power & let Me go! Let My Angels go before you!" 
	 For every prayer is a bullet against the Devil & every prayer is heard & answered. Do not belittle yourselves & do not belittle your prayers, for behold, they are important in My Kingdom. For you fight a spiritual warfare, & these are bullets against the Devil & against your enemies. Every prayer has been heard & answered, & every prayer shall be heard & answered. 
	 Therefore stand strong in faith & in My Word, for behold, My Words are promises unto you! Unlock the vaults of My treasure. Take hold upon them, use them, grab hold of your sword, let it fight for you. Mingle it with the Spirit of faith. Stand strong, for behold, I am your God & ye shall not be ashamed. It is for this time that ye are brought into this Kingdom. Are ye not My Endtime Prophets?--And behold it is the Endtime."
* * *
	 Behold, the Antichrist goeth about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Behold, how he is bold! But behold, how your God is even yet more bold in you! Therefore stand strong, stand forth in the Word that I have given unto your father, David, & to your mother, your Queen, who even now encourages you to fight. 
	 Stand strong in the prophecies & the Word that I have given unto you. They are Spirit & they are life! If you could just realise the power that ye have within My Words! Behold, Satan is nothing before Me! Even as Luther said, one little Word shall fell him, & that is My Name! Use My Name! Stand strong upon My Name, for he shall not be able to do anything to harm you.
	 I have let these things happen so it could be a witness to many people & My Gospel shall be spread. Have I not called you a city that is set on a high hill? And now I bring forth people to see your light, that they may glorify Me & that many may come to Me.
	 Behold, I now judge the goats & those that are going to stand against you. You are for Me & I will fight for you! Use My Word! Use My Name! Behold, it is for you at this time! I have told your father that you are these Heaven's Girls & Heaven's Boys for this time. It is now! Grab ahold of your crown!"
 * * *
		 For all the powers of Heaven & its resources are at your command through the power of prayer, if ye will but call unto Me; & I will answer you & do great & mighty things that ye know not.
	 For these are the days that ye can call unto Me & I will give you the forces of Heaven that are at your power. Therefore avail yourselves! Have I not revealed unto you that ye are but earthen vessels? But there is a hidden treasure in those earthen vessels of the power of prayer, if ye will but command Me, as I have ordained you to do. 
	 Therefore call unto Me, I say, & I will do great & mighty things which ye know not. For eye hath not seen, neither hath ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of Man, the things that I have prepared for them that love Me. Therefore this is the weapon that I have reserved for My children, that they will wield with the power & the strength of My Will, that they will come unto Me with their prayers, that I may move the very hand of My Father unto your enemies. Therefore use that weapon & the power of the Word!
	 Have I not ordained you to fill the hearts of your children with the Word, that they may use it in this day to call upon Me & to pull on the promises that I have given you, so that you know that I can do what I have ordained unto you? Therefore call unto Me, I say, call unto Me! Ye must pray that I may accomplish what you will!" TYJ!
* * *
	 Beloved, pray for your children. Pray without ceasing, for this is the Will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. For the battle is not only theirs, but yours too, & most of all Mine. Stand back & see Me fight. Stand back in the power of My Spirit. Stand fast in My Spirit, in prayer, praying always with all prayer & supplication for all saints. For so much depends upon your prayers & how concerned you are, for when you stir yourselves up, then I will stir Myself up.
For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous & His ears are open unto their cry. And none of them that trust in Him shall be desolate.  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto ye are also called & have professed a good profession before many witnesses." 
* * *
	 During the prayer against the persecution, I received Eph.6:10-12, about all the different parts of the warfare, & got the clashing sound of a whole army putting on their armour!--An exciting sound of many soldiers donning their armour in preparation to do battle with the Enemy. It was a very exciting, thrilling feeling, & I got, Effectual are the prayers of the children of David."  
Persecution Exposes God's Enemies!
	 Stand back & see Me fight! Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. For they that live by the sword, I shall surely cut down by the sword.  For they are of their father the Devil, & the works of their father they do. They were liars from the beginning!  For this is nothing new, this is the persecution that has arisen upon all My children throughout the ages. I shall glorify you, I shall vindicate you, I shall extol you, I shall raise you on high & they shall know that a Prophet, behold, that I have been among them. 
	 My Spirit shall go with you, My Spirit shall speak through you, My Spirit shall empower you & enlighten you.  They shall not be able to resist the words that I shall give unto you to speak to them. Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life!  Preach the Word, then stand back & see Me fight. For the Word of God is quick & powerful & sharper than any two-edged sword. 
	 I shall expose them with My light, I shall cut them asunder! For as fire & as a sword proceedeth out of My mouth, so shall My Words be that shall go forth from your mouth. I shall expose them that would try & attack you, that the whole World may know that I am with you!  
	 I shall confound your enemies! For behold, this is happening that your enemies may fill their cups full of iniquity that I may be even more righteous in My judgements against them, for I shall recompense evil for evil upon those who have attacked you. I shall measure out in double portion, yea, more shall I pour upon their heads. I shall smite them!  The curses of the Egyptians shall I bring upon them, the wrath of My tribulation shall tribulate them!  For behold, as they try to tribulate you, I will tribulate them.  
	 Have I not promised it, shall I not do it? For behold, the battle is Mine & My sword is drawn against the day of battle, My armies are poised & they shall fight for you & ye shall hold your peace.  Fear not what ye shall say, for I shall give you the words that ye shall say in that selfsame hour.  I shall fight for you & none shall stand against you!"
* * *
	 Behold, I know Mine enemies, & I seek to exact My vengeance upon them.  Fear not that which shall come upon you, for it is all for My purpose to expose your enemies. Lo, I need to draw them out so that the whole World may see who they are, & who it is that is behind this. Fear not, for ye are called to help draw out the enemies that they may be exposed, that I may wreak My vengeance, that I may aim straight & hit directly on all of those who are Mine enemies throughout all time. Fear not, for it is all My purpose to destroy the enemies, to bring them out & expose them for what they are. Stand back & see Me fight, see Me bring My vengeance upon those who are earmarked as Mine enemies! They have been Mine enemies all along, & I know them.
	 Fear not, little flock, for I shall wreak vengeance upon them in My good time."
God Will Avenge!
	 Ye think ye are examined this day, but behold, I examine them, for I will judge them & every one that heareth of this your captivity. For your captivity is My captivity and he that leadeth you into captivity must be led into captivity, & he that tolerateth your captivity, I will not tolerate him. But soon these same evil forces shall violate their rights and they shall pay in double measure. And I will fill unto them double. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls and the souls of your children.
	 For behold, I have put an entire nation on trial this day, that the ears may tingle of him that heareth it, and that a sword may enter into their hearts and their bows be broken."
	 I also got that we are not able to reach everyone in person and that for that reason the Lord allowed this persecution--to bring everybody in Australia to a decision. 
* * *
	Behold, how Joshua of old & his children of Israel pursued the armies of the Amalekites! Behold, so ye shall pursue them! Ye shall pursue them & catch them by their tails! Ye shall slaughter them! 
	Behold, I will be with you! I will not leave you nor forsake you. Behold how Mine anger is waxed hot through My children. I will burn in Mine anger through you & ye shall consume them. Behold, this is My battle, & I shall fight it! But ye are My hands, ye are My feet, ye are My mouth with whom I shall speak the Truth, the Truth unto this land. They shall know the Truth & the Truth shall set them free! 
	Behold these enemies that spout their lies, this nation shall see them & they shall distinguish the black from the light, the darkness from those that are free. They shall know the Truth & the Truth shall set them free. But ye must speak with the enemy in the gate. March forth, I say! March forth unto battle. Ye shall pursue them, & ye shall overtake them & I will give you whatever measures ye need to win this battle. For behold, it is My battle. For I shall fight through you!
	Say not, `I am a little child,' for I shall make of you princes & rulers in the Kingdom to come. Behold, if ye cannot speak with the enemy in the gate now, how shall ye then rule them with a rod of iron in the time to come? For all these things are happening as ensamples for the generations that are yet to come. For they shall praise Me & all they that despise you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. 
	Wax hot in thine anger towards them, I say, for ye shall consume them in due time. I shall light the fire & I shall burn through you!" 
* * *
	 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be ye envious against the workers of iniquity. For evildoers shall be cut off, but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the Earth. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and lo, he was not." 
* * *
	 I got a picture of a giant demon. He was trying to start a fire with petrol or some kind of flammable liquid & then he lit it & it blew up, but it caught him on fire & he went up in flames & perished by his own devices!
 * * *
	 I saw a picture of Jesus & He was so big! He was enormous!  I think it is the same picture as in the Wrath of God". He was standing there with a big sword, & the cities below looked so small compared to Him. He was smiting our enemies!
* * *
	 I saw a picture of the Pied Piper taking all the children away, & I was asking if it was our children he was taking. Then the answer I received was that it was like the judgement that God sent upon the Egyptians, when the Pharaoh wanted to kill all the Hebrews. I received that picture very clearly, that He's going to turn back what they want to do to our children against their own children, & in some way He's going to take away their own children. Their children are their future, so He's going to destroy their future--everything.
* * *
	 There is nothing too hard for Me & nothing too small for Me.  For yea, I even see the little sparrow, & not one hair of your head shall perish, neither shall any of these little ones fall. Yea, I will be with them, I will guide them, I will comfort them. Am I not the Good Shepherd? Am I not the Good Shepherd that saith, `I am the Door'? He which entereth in by Me shall enter into Heaven, shall walk in & walk out & be saved, but all that try to enter in another way are thieves & robbers, such as these who try to attack My children. 
	 I know how to deal with thieves & robbers. I know how to deal with those who would attack you, for they put their finger in My eye. Therefore stand back & see Me fight, saith the Lord."
* * *
	 I saw a little picture of a big table with all those evil people & they were planning to hurt us; it was a big conspiracy. But after that I saw the Lord on a horse with a sword & He was striking out with it. I got the verse Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." 
	 * * *
	But I shall rip away the pillows from under them that sit at ease in Zion! And when they shall cry, `Peace,' I shall bring war & destruction upon them, for they hate Me, saith the Lord, therefore will I destroy them in the day of My vengeance. Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord, I will repay. Yea, I say unto you, I will repay the evil that these have cast upon My children."
* * *
	For their cup of iniquity is not yet full, but when it is full, then I shall pour My wrath out upon them, upon those wicked deceivers who lie & deceive. Yet the Earth opens her mouth to swallow their lies. But their time is always at hand. And My time is always ready, yea, every day I am angry with the wicked, and I shall utterly pluck up & destroy that nation, saith the Lord. 
	For he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of Mine eye--My beloved ones, My children, those who have the kisses of David My servant, the Prophet whom I have sent for these Last Days.--Wherein ye walk as shining lights, before a nation that lieth in darkness & filthiness."
* * *
	I will break the bands of those that oppress you. Behold I will scatter them. I will scatter them among the wolves that they may devour them. They shall turn against their own. They shall not stand, they shall be divided & they shall not withstand you. 
	Behold, I the Lord thy God am a jealous God & will have no other gods before Me. I will break them with a rod of iron. I will dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Arise now therefore, ye kings, be instructed, ye judges of the  Earth; fear the Lord & rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son lest He be angry & ye perish from the way when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those that put their trust in Him." 
* * *
	I will bless them that bless you; I will curse them that curse you.  Therefore fear them not, for I have cursed them. For they have cursed you, for they have hated Me from the beginning.  
	Fear not, little children, for I have chosen you from the foundation of the Earth, that ye should go forth and bring to the World My Truth, My Light, My Salvation.  
	Therefore stand strong and be a testimony against them that hate Me, for they have hated Me from the beginning, for they love not the Truth. They are of their father, the Devil, for he is a liar, he hated Me from the beginning.  But I will destroy him.  They shall be dust, they shall be ashes under your feet."
* * *
	I am ready to show Myself strong on your behalf.  For ye are My beloved, My pure ones, My undefiled, and they that touch you touch the apple of Mine eye.  So fear not, but stand back and see Me fight, saith the Lord."
* * *
	In a vision, I saw a big earthquake, a major earthquake. From the earthquake (which appeared to be what our enemies are doing to us) came a tidal wave which was sweeping back on them. It came crashing down on them, totally engulfing their city, completely smashing it to bits. Up on top of the tidal wave was a little tiny thing, & as I looked closer I saw it was a surfboard. It represented our Family!--Having a blast riding this wave, while this massive destruction was going on below them! It was clear that the enemies trying to hurt the Family are only going to bring Hell & destruction crashing down upon themselves.	
* * *
	I got the impression that this persecution happened so that their cup of iniquity could be filled. This is going to be it & then the Lord is going to pour down His judgements upon them. (Four other people got the same thing.) 
Trust Not in Carnal Means, But in God's Power to Prevail!
	Your prayers can do mighty things! Therefore neglect not to seek Me for all things you would have Me do, & with good advice make war.
	Whether I lead to the left or I lead to the right, prepare your paths with prayer & I shall be there before you, leading the way to give unto you more than you could ask or think. But lean not to your own understanding or go in your own energy. I am He that filleth all things, & I am He that doth give victory. Go forth in the Spirit & in the might of My power & I shall give unto you the heads of your enemies. 
	Have I not given unto you a weapon that is mightier than that which they of the World use? Have I not given you authority over the prince of darkness? Have I not given unto you, My little children, the power to defeat the Enemy? As you see, this power is fulfilled & accomplished before your eyes, for relief of the littlest of your hurt to the greatest of your pains. Have I not given you a power to reach the very hand of God, that you may defeat any of your enemies through His hand? 
	For the weapons of this warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God. The means is not the issue, but the power of prayer is the issue. Whether you go one way or another way, your path must be bathed more in prayer. For if more time were spent in prayer & in communion with Me & in moving My hand, more would be accomplished both in your request, and also in your direction. 
	Therefore call unto Me & I will answer you & I will show you great & mighty things which you know not. But you must do the calling, for they that seek Me early shall find Me.
* * *
	My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, so trust in Me. I have opened the gates of Heaven unto you, & you have all the resources of the heavenlies--all the counsellors, judges, all the Prophets are made available to you at this time. All you have to do is ask, & all these ministering spirits will be available to you. They will be the ones who will give you the wisdom, the guidance, the know-how to go on the attack in this battle. 
	So trust in Me. I have all these different weapons for the battles you will be fighting, & as I put you in the battlefield, you shall be supplied with the weapons that you will need to use. So look unto Me. As you go into this battle, the weapons shall be supplied!"
* * * 
	All things work together for good to them that love Me. Think it not strange concerning these things that are happening. For I am not blind that I do not see, nor deaf that I do not hear. For I understand all things, & I shall turn this to your good if ye seek after Me. Look for My hand, look for the blessing that I have bestowed upon you even through this persecution. If ye do this, ye shall see the leading that I am giving you. Look for the blessing & therein shall your strength lie." 
* * * 
	Take no thought for the morrow, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink or what ye shall put on, for all these things do the earthly people worry about. For I have chosen you & ordained you that ye should go & bring forth fruit & that your fruit should remain, & whatsoever ye ask of Me, I will do it. 
	Come, ye children, hearken unto Me & I will teach you the fear of the Lord. I will teach your hands to war. For lo, ye shall be a light in this great darkness & I will set you upon a hill that all may see & fear you. For I the Lord have spoken it & I will vindicate My children."
* * * 
	For ye are not of the World, but they are of the World, therefore speak they of the World. Therefore they hate you. Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers. For if ye were of the World, the World would love its own, but because ye are not of the World, & I have called you out of the World, therefore they hate you. 
	But walk in wisdom towards them that are without, for the Enemy walketh about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Walk circumspectly, for ye have need of wisdom, for the children of the World are in their generation wiser than the children of light. But this wisdom cometh not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 
	Therefore beware, for I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves in this adulterous & perverse generation. Trust not in Egypt & lean not on the strength & support of the wisdom of Man, but trust in Me, for I will deliver you, for ye are My children & My heritage & My family."
* * * 
	Even as the time My children walked around the walls of Jericho & the walls fell, so shall it be for you. Ye shall sing My praises, & they will get to know My Name. Speak unto the people, go forth, witness, pour out the meat unto the people & let them be the ones that listen to you. 
	For I am the Judge & this case is already in court in Heaven, & I have already passed judgement on these people. Therefore stand back & see Me fight. Hold fast to that which ye have, that no man steal your crown. 
	For this is My doing & ye shall continue to be a witness & a light unto the Gentiles for Me. Therefore be not dismayed or distracted by these people & their lies, for I shall take care of them Myself & I will do it in such a way that all people will know that it has been My judgement. For judgement has already been pronounced upon this place & these people & upon these instruments of the Devil. I have already won the victory over them. 
	Ye are called being My witnesses & ye shall take the witness stand, ye shall take it unto the people & ye shall be My witnesses & My voice shall spread forth--not the works of Mine enemies & the lies of the Devil. They seek only to distract you from your Work. Stand back & see Me fight! Go forth & let the people know, tell people about David, tell people about the Prophet."
* * * 
	For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the tearing down of strongholds. You cannot fight City Hall, playing the game that they play, but you can fight with the weapons that I have given you--My Word & My power & prayer power. These people are nothing before Me, & I am more than able to win the victory for you.
	For their cup of iniquity is full. And My judgements may grind exceeding slow, but they grind exceeding fine. For every evil deed that they have done is recorded & I know everything that they have done against you, against My children, against My Name. I will repay, I will answer your prayers, I will fulfill My Word. I will cause them to reap what they have sowed--death & destruction. So stand back & see Me fight!
	But go on the attack in prayer & through the Word & through your witness. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works & glorify your Father which is in Heaven. For ye are a city set on a hill, so hide not your candles, nor put your light under a bushel, but put it on a candlestick that it may give light unto all.
	Have I not vindicated you this far? Have I not begun this good work & am I not able to complete it? For it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man."
* * * 
	Ye cannot chase the darkness out yourself, but if ye let My Light out, let My people out with My light, then the darkness shall flee of itself, and I shall divide the sheep from the goats, and they shall make up their minds according to the light that ye give them. For ye do not fight darkness with darkness, but fight darkness by letting the light out, and flood this nation with My Truth that they may see and know Who I am. 
	For if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me. The battle is not yours, and in fighting it in the flesh ye cannot win. But if ye fight it in the Spirit, I have already won. The victory is Mine from the foundation of the World. For have I not said that if ye shall preach the Gospel, and if ye shall spread forth My Truth, it shall not return void but shall accomplish the purpose whereunto I have sent it? 
	For it is My Word that is a sharp two-edged sword that pierces even to their soul and their spirit, that I may discern the hearts of those that love Me and those that hear My voice, and those that will not. But if ye give forth My Words and shine brightly as ye have never shone before, then My Words shall flood this nation and My Truth shall overcome all evil--the evil that the Enemy would like to sow in the hearts of My children that are still out there. My Light shall flood them with Truth!"
* * *
	Believe in My Word. Believe only in My Word & ye shall see the destruction of the wicked! Ye shall go forth as sheep in the midst of wolves & I will render unto you souls, in thanksgiving, souls for the Kingdom of Heaven. For lo, I have many of My children here. There are many that would hunger & thirst & plead for My Words. Lo, ye are full of riches. Your bags are full of Seed to be sown amongst these hungry sheep. This is what ye have been prepared for, this is what ye have been called for. 
	Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free & lo, ye shall be free indeed. Fear not for your little ones, for will I not care for My Own? Lo, I am the living God that maketh all flesh, that maketh you to dwell in this Creation of My beauty. Have I not said it & will I not do it? Ye shall see the glory of the Lord & ye shall see the destruction of the wicked!"
	* * *
	 Why do the heathen rage & the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the Earth set themselves & the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord & against His anointed. I will break their bands asunder. I will cast away the cords of the wicked one. For yea, I have delivered, I do deliver & I will yet deliver, saith the Lord. There is nothing too hard for Me, nor is there any valley too deep for Me. For it is My hand that doth save & My right hand that doth do the work.
	 Therefore trust in Me, look unto Me & I will deliver you. I will deliver My little ones. But ye must do your part, ye must pray for them, ye must look to Me & beseech Me. Ye must call upon Me, for it is a battle, a battle in the Spirit that must be won by prayer & fighting in the Spirit. Therefore let not down your guard, put not down your weapon, but fight on in the Spirit. Do your part & I will do My part, saith the Lord."
* * *
	Lean not even to yesterday's victories, but I will continue to give the victory if ye will continue to pray. Keep your hands on your sword, which is the Word, & your antennas up. Continue to stay in touch with Headquarters & I will lead you through this big & mighty war. I will win the victory, if ye will just trust Me & look to Me every step of the way. In quietness & in confidence shall your strength be. Be still & know that I am God & ye will have the strength for the battle."
* * *
	Ye have put your hand to the plow, therefore look not back, look forward. Go forth in the power of My might, for I have laid a banner over you & the banner is Love. I have given you a captain & his name is David. Therefore fear not the Enemy, this little punk Satan, & Oplexicon & all his imps, for I am with you, saith the Lord! 
	I am with you to deliver you in a spectacular way. This thing will not be done in a corner & these enemies will not be punished in a corner, for I will do it in a spectacular way for the whole World to see. And they will see, for they shall be red-faced & red-cheeked & they shall be ashamed. They shall lay their hand upon their mouths, for they shall know they have spoken against Me & My children, & they have done wickedly & foolishly. 
	Therefore tremble not! Tremble not! Tremble not! For I have filled you with My Love & I have given you the lawyers, I have given you the wisdom, I have given you the kings & the supporters, I have given you the people of this great nation, Japan, therefore go forth. Ye have nothing to fear, for I am with you, saith the Lord. 
	Therefore go forth in the power of My might, weeping & bringing your sheaves with you, for you shall surely sow the Seed & reap the mighty harvest that I have raised up here in Japan, & not only Japan, but this whole Area, this whole Asia. For I will noise it aboard. I will not let your enemies thwart your efforts, My children. 
	Fear not! Look only to Me, seek Me, seek the Words of David, for the Words of David are your comfort in these days. They are your shield, they are your buckler that shall stand forth to give you the strength & the wisdom & the stamina & the perseverance to go forth towards the rising sun! For I have called you that ye may be the avant garde & leaders of My sheep in this Last Day! 
	And your little ones shall be My Shepherds. They shall feed the flock of God that is among them. Therefore fight & be not weary in well doing. For I shall give you rest, in obedience ye shall find rest. I shall strengthen the feeble knees & the arms that hang down, & when you are sick & weary, look unto Me. Ask for prayer & I shall strengthen you. I shall honour your faith. I shall prosper you. 
	For I am a great consuming fire & your enemies shall not prevail against you. Guard your thoughts, guard your heart, for out of it are the issues of life. Stay close to Me, & as I said, I will prosper you & I shall be with you even unto the End & always.
	For ye are My children. Ye are a chosen generation, ye are priests, ye are Prophets, ye are kings & queens & princes & princesses that I have raised up from the beginning, from before the beginning of the World. So therefore, fear not, My children. Put on the whole armour. Take hold of your weapon, your sword, & go forth & sing forth the praises of David. 
	Keep your eyes on Me, for I am there out in front of you, & David is there & Maria is there. Ye shall laugh & ye shall sing as ye go forth & sing My praises; & they shall see your good works & they shall glorify Me, for this time have I called you into the Kingdom. It is the time to fight!"
Persecution Is an Honour & Will End in Victory!
	For they do poke their finger in My eye, & truly I shall judge them & I shall condemn them, for they fill their cup of iniquity to the full. I will not leave you comfortless, I will comfort you, & I shall deliver your little ones from the snare of the fowler, from the Evil One that doth seek to gain prey. But they shall be prey for Me, & I shall destroy them, I shall judge them. I shall bring victory, I shall bring a great deliverance. 
	Fear none of these things that shall come upon you, for ye are appointed unto this, it is part of your Prophethood. For ye are accounted as sheep to the slaughter. For My sake are ye killed all the day long, & I am happy for your love for Me, & your devotion to Me, & your willingness to lay down your lives. Praise Me & thank Me for this, your calling."
* * *
	Out of the mouths of babes & sucklings, I have ordained strength because of thine enemies, that I might still the Enemy & the Avenger.  Have I not said & will I not do it?  Have I not spoken & shall I not make it good?  For God is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of Man that He should repent. For vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord, I will repay.  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, for I am a consuming fire that will consume with vengeance the head of your every enemy.  Ask & it shall be given you, ask & keep on asking. Seek & keep on seeking, & knock & keep on knocking, & it shall be opened.
	These are the days of preparation, for the darker days are still yet ahead. For I have anointed & ordained your children to stand strong in such peril & tribulation.  For is this not the reason that I have trained them & poured My Word into them, lo, these many years?  For this is My Plan & I will accomplish My purpose, & My Word will not return void, but it will accomplish the thing whereunto I have sent it, & put it into their hearts. Therefore, fear not, but trust Me only. Be not afraid, only believe & I promise to fulfil My highest Will."
* * *
	I had the impression that the Lord purged the fearful & the half-hearted TSers from our ranks so that He could lead us into this powerful way of witnessing, which is controversial but highly esteemed in the Lord's eyes. I felt that the Lord was causing us to be brought before the court so that our innocence could be proven & our good works would shine.--And that He was doing this now, before the persecution of the future Antichrist government, and that the timing in this was His choice. He wants to hold the old governments & citizens responsible, so that they will be without excuse when they reap the government of the Antichrist. 
* * *
	Go, stand & speak in the temple to the people all the Words of this life. Cry aloud! Raise your trumpet! Remember the Word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. All these things shall they do unto you for My Name's sake because they know not Him that sent Me. If I had not come & spoken unto them, they had not had sin, but now they will have no cloak for their sin."
* * *
	For ye shall be hated of all nations for My Name's sake, but not an hair of your head shall perish!"
* * *
	I have called you to stand forth & to fight the good fight of faith, to lay hold on eternal life, to fight in prayer as a strong man that runs a race, as a warrior that looks forward to the battle, that rejoices for the strength that I have given him. Keep looking forward in prayer, as the four & twenty elders who are before My throne constantly.
	The End is drawing near, the time is nigh. It is not quite yet, for their cup of iniquity is not yet full, but when it is full, I shall let forth & I shall avenge them that touch you, the apple of Mine eye. For touch not the Lord's anointed, neither do His Prophets harm.
	But rejoice & be exceeding glad, for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you. For I have called you for such a time as this, so battle in faith, go to war in prayer, stand firm, stand strong & I shall stand strong for you, for these of your brethren who go before many magistrates & many judges to be a testimony against them. For I will be that Word in their mouth, I will give them the Words to speak at that time. I will stand strong with them. 
	For say not that they are few & they are but children, but know that I have My chariots & My warriors & My legions of Angels gathered around them. They stand not alone, but I am with them, & one with Me is a majority! For there is none that can stand against Me. All that your enemies have combined together is nothing to Me and is as the chaff that will blow away in the wind that I shall send. So fear not, little flock, for it is My pleasure to give you the Kingdom. 
	Fear not, fret not, worry not, for I have given it all into your hands, for this present time is but for a short time longer, & I will then give you what is coming to you, what I have promised for ages, for generations. For as it is written in My Word, it is there for you, & everywhere that the sole of your feet tread, I shall give it to you as an inheritance. I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance & the uttermost parts of the Earth for your possession. It is but for you to claim the land. 
	There will be adversaries & there will be battles, & there are more battles to come, but fear not, fret not. For have I not said that My legions of Angels are with you, going forth before you? Where I send My sheep, I go before them, & yea, the battle will be over & the feast of victory is at hand, so keep your heart with all diligence. 
	Stand fast in the faith wherein ye were founded. Hold forth the Word that I have given you, the Words of David that shall be an ensign to many. For as they see these standing there by faith, standing strong on the Word that I have given, it will draw all men unto you. Many shall grab hold of your cloak & many shall grab hold of your dress, saying `Let me just be called by your name.'
	For I have given you as a light unto many.  But the forces of darkness hate that light and they try to quench it & they try to put it out, but as ye stand strong in the  Word that I have given & as ye look to Me & in all your ways acknowledge Me, I will direct your paths, I will part the Red Sea before you & none shall be able to touch you. So fear not, little flock, for it is the Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom."
* * *
	I got a picture of a big chart with squares, that looked like a checkerboard. Each square was a country & the Lord was checking off the squares one at a time. In every country where there was persecution, as the victory was won, the Lord was able to check the square off. 
* * *
	Even as I delivered the three Hebrew children from the burning fiery furnace, so will I deliver these little ones from the fiery trial which has come upon them. For all things work together for good to them that love God, for they are the called according to My purpose.  If these children had not been cast into the fiery furnace, I would not have been able to prove the impossible and the miracle of delivering them without even the smell of smoke.
	Think it not strange! Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for I, the Lord your God, will fight for you!  Behold, an hair of your head shall not perish.  If I do not care for My Own, I am worse than an infidel. Fear not, only believe, for great shall be your reward in Heaven, for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you.  
	Behold, the darkness shall come upon all the Earth to try all men, but ye, My children, shall shine forth as lights in the midst of the darkness and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Have faith in God!
	Behold, it is a righteous thing for your Father to persecute them who persecute you and to tribulate them who tribulate you. Even as the Pharaoh of Egypt gave forth the command to destroy the firstborn of God's children, the God of Moses did turn their curse upon their own heads and destroyed the firstborn of the Egyptians.  So shall I do the same to those who persecute My children.  Behold, I shall deliver My children. Fear not!" 
* * *
	It is not your Father's Will that any of these should fall to the ground.  Neither shall anyone touch any of these without My permission. Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, but be strong and rejoice and be exceeding glad, for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you. 
	They are no match for the children of your Father David.  I shall perform a wonder amongst them and your children shall come forth without even the smell of smoke.  I shall make a way in the wilderness and will perform that which pleases Me.  Those which have instigated this shall be defeated." 
* * *
	Ye are a candle which cannot be snuffed out, cannot be put out. Ye are the rain which falls from the sky which cannot be stopped, like a match which kindleth the forest to glow. Behold, they may try to stop it with their buckets, but they cannot. They put up their hands to stop the rain, but behold, they cannot. The rulers and the counsellors take counsel together against the Lord, & against your children, & against His anointed, saying, `Let us break their bands asunder & cast away their cords from us.' But I, the Lord your God, am with you, I sit in the Heavens & laugh, for they are but dust in My face. They are but the wicked who rise against you & try to snuff out your candle, but they cannot put it out. They cannot stop your rain! 
	Ye are My mighty Army & I am with you! I have promised it to the generations that I will guide you & lead you & protect & care for My Own & My children & My little ones. Fear not, nor be afraid, for I shall be with you as I have promised. I shall not fail you nor forsake you until ye have finished all the work for the service of the house of God.  Behold, this is the time of the End, this is the battle which has come upon you, at the hour of the End. These are the Last Days which I have spoken of, & which My Prophets have prophesied of. Ye shall stand in awe & see the Salvation of the Lord, for this is not your battle but Mine, saith the Lord. I shall stand with you.--Fear not, nor be dismayed at them."
* * *
	How foolish are they that would try to stop My children!  How foolish are they that would try to bottle up the wind!  How foolish are they that would try to stop the rain!  These are My Endtime Prophets and witnesses to this generation.  There be none that can stop them!"
Promises for Persecution in Australia!
These amazing prophecies were given when the 142 children were first taken by the authorities!--Amazing predictions of their release from custody after only six days, their victorious witness & the Lord's encouragement about the ultimate victory He will give in this major court battle still going on there!
God's Protection of Our Children!
	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 the children.  I will comfort them.  Did I not say, when ye pass through the waters they shall not overflow you, & when ye walk through the fire ye shall not be burned?  Just like with the three Hebrew children that were put in the fiery furnace, I will be with your children. I will hold them with My right hand. Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God.  Yea, I will help you, yea, I will strengthen you, yea I will uphold you 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 you?' 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."
* * *
	Woe, I say, unto the wicked! Woe, I say, unto those who tribulate My children!  Woe, I say, unto those who touch My little ones, for they touch the apple of Mine eye!  Think ye that I cannot keep My little ones, that I do not overshadow them with My wings? Think ye not that I am with them?--That I will comfort them & keep them in their day of tribulation?  Yea, I will lead them, I will guide them with Mine eye, & I will speak unto them. My voice will whisper in their ears & I will tell them what to say. For they will have wisdom that no man shall be able to gainsay. And I will tribulate them that tribulate you. I will tribulate them that tribulate My children, & I will liberate My children & I will deliver them.  I will keep them in their hour of trial.  For all things work together for good to them that love Me, & I will bring forth a great victory!"
* * *
	I received the story from Judges 6 about when the Philistines captured the Ark of the Covenant, how it kept giving them trouble wherever they sent it until they gave it back.
* * *
	I got something from the story in 1 Samuel 30, about Ziklag, when all the women & children were taken captive by the Amalekites, & David recovered them all! (See 1Sam.30:3-20.)
* * *
	Suffer little children to come unto Me, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. He that careth not for his own, is worse than an infidel." He has given Angels in the Spirit & is taking care of each one of the children.
* * *
	I saw a vision of Angels, & one specific one I saw was empowering someone. It came along with the verse someone got about opening the prison doors. The Lord was sending an Angel to empower someone to do that, to make it possible for the children to be released right away. The Angel would be working in someone who would fight in our favour.
The Children--A Beautiful Testimony!
	Have I not said & shall I not bring it to pass?  No weapons formed against you shall prosper, & I have caused the wrath of Man to praise Me.  For behold, this is a work of My Hand & I will get great victories out of this. Know ye not that even the hairs of your head are numbered & nothing will happen that I don't have control over?  Therefore I will be with your little ones & I will protect, strengthen, encourage, lead & guide them, & they will be a testimony unto the nations of the power of My Spirit & the Truth of My Word. They will be a witness unto kings & to judges for all to see that My Word is true & that they are the true sample of the Words of David. 
	Therefore strengthen your heart, fear not, only believe, for all things work together for good. These days are days of preparation for times ahead, times of darkness that shall fall upon the World; therefore be strong, be vigilant, pray!  Pray for My little ones, pray for your Family; for when ye pray, things will happen & things will be different.  
	I will answer prayer, I have answered your prayer. I have seen your tears & heard your cry & I will deliver.  I will perform the miracle & these will glorify Me & glorify My Name."
* * *
	Behold, I have saved you, & I will yet save you.  These are My children, &  woe be unto the man that toucheth the apple of Mine eye.  For these little ones are precious unto Me, & I will use them for a witness for My cause & My Name, that their lights may shine before all & they may see My good works in them." 
* * *
	When they see the joy & happiness of those children they will realise that they have been with the Family & have been with Jesus. The peace that I give unto the children is not like the peace that the World gives."
* * *
	I got a picture of our enemies on one side saying all these outrageous things against us. We are saying the Truth & standing up for the Lord, & then in the middle are the judges who are swayed first one way & then the other. At first it was just words on one side & words on the other, but by their taking the kids into custody, they are going to be able to see by the lives & testimonies of the kids that the lies against us are not true. Then  this whole thing is going to be over & laid to rest once & for all.
* * *
	When they saw the boldness of Peter & John, & perceived that they were unlearned & ignorant men, they marvelled & took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus" (Acts 4:13). Maybe it's for our children, that when the World sees their boldness & their conviction they are going to know that they've been with the Lord & all those accusations are lies. 
	It just seems like it's God's plan; He's in control. It's not some big defeat by the Enemy, or even a minor setback or temporary loss, but the Lord is in complete control & it's all part of His plan.
* * *
	While praying for the children, I got, A little child shall lead them." It's like the situation in the Venezuelan persecution, how the Lord used the children to even win a lot of friends & officers. (See FSM 212, More Persecution Victories & Lessons!", pg.11.)
* * *
	When Mary & Joseph & Jesus went to the Temple, on the way back, a day into the journey they found that Jesus wasn't with them, & when they went back  & looked for Him for three days, Jesus was on His Own answering questions put to Him by learned men. We need to have the faith & trust that Jesus is going to answer the questions through our children.
* * *
Some  trust  in  chariots &  some  in horses: but we will remember the Name of the Lord our God. Cursed be the Man that trusteth in Man & maketh flesh his arm.  As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth."  I felt this was in relation to the children in Australia, that they are going to be a powerful witness! There are so many of them & God's going to use them, & they're going to be a real testimony to the World.
How the Lord Sees Our Children!
	For yea, in that day, saith the Lord, he that is the least of your children shall be as the mighty men of David, & he that is of the mighty men of David shall be as David. Therefore, fear not, for I am with you to deliver you! 
	For ye have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this, that the excellency of My power may be made manifest in you.  Therefore, say not, `I am but a child,' for I shall put My Words in your mouth, & ye shall speak before the people, & My Words shall be as a coal of fire in your bosom, & ye shall give forth My Words, & they that hate you shall be ashamed.  As I was with Moses, so shall I be with you, I will never leave you nor forsake you.  And then shall they know, when this shall come to pass, & lo, it shall come to pass; that there hath been a prophet among them."
* * *
	As David defeated Goliath, so shall I defeat this Goliath with the sling of My Word, Truth & power. Your sample & My Love shall win this case & vindicate you." (Just as in the cases of Pearl & Lamb, many people received the parallel of David & Goliath in the case of the 142 children.)
* * *
	I got a vision of a ping-pong table & the ball was now  in the court of our JETTs & children. I got it for the children, as before, it was the adults who went through all the persecution, but now it is time for us kids to grow up & to also face it.
* * *
	As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children shall be." I had a picture of the children being really used of the Lord as His arrows. 
* * *
	I saw a picture of our children like emeralds, shining with light, pink light, yellow light--like the Lord's jewels. Somebody was trying to cover them up with a dark cloth but they couldn't, because not only were they radiating light, but heat too. They couldn't cover up the light & those precious jewels.
* * *
	During a prophecy about the children being like Heaven's Girl, I received a vision of people coming & stealing the children from the Home there in Australia. It was as if somebody came  to an atomic power plant & stole uranium from the reactor & ran away with it without realising what they had. The children were all glowing powerfully, which to me meant their glowing & powerful testimony. Our enemies don't know what they have in their hands. It burns their hands when they touch it.
* * *
	(Several people worldwide received prophecies likening the children to Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, among them the following:)
* * *
	Joseph, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego were also taken captive by enemies as children, & God caused them to prosper & be a mighty witness & testimony!
* * * 
	You must stand up for your faith! Had not Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego been willing to stand up, I would not have been able to do the miracle which I did. Stand up, stand up for your faith! Stand up, stand up for Jesus!"
 * * *
	As a comparison to our kids, I got the story of Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, how they were found superior to all the other young people in their nation. All our kids will be the same, & the judges & the people investigating them will be so surprised. That will be the proof that we are doing the right thing.
* * *
	I got the story of Daniel, who was a young teen when he was taken captive & was away from his parents, yet the Spirit of God was with him. By his sample, & by his training, he won the favour of kings & the Lord used him. Although it looked like a defeat, as he was taken away from his family, the Lord used him in the position he found himself in.
* * *
	I saw a picture of one of the children. He was blond & smiling, about 10 years old. He was dressed in Children's Crusade clothing. There was no fear; he was smiling.  Then I received, Arise, shine, for thy light is come & the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee" (Isa.60:1).
* * *
	The Children's Crusade" came to mind & the Letter about the children running through the streets praising the Lord & how they were all so happy. I kept getting a picture of the kids just running around & praising the Lord & happy, & there was nothing our enemies could do to stop it. All the children were standing together, very strong & smiling & very happy.
* * *
	I was getting the impression that this time for the children is a trial run for things that could happen in the very End, a trial run & a test for them, to strengthen their faith in the Lord's deliverance. I was also getting the words, This is their hour, this is their time!"
* * *
	It is a purging, it is a purging. They are only being purged." I saw lilies growing out of the ashes & the impression I had was that it was all for their good, that the Lord was preparing them for the days ahead.  As the days become darker & darker, He needs them to be brighter lights for His glory.  It was also to grow the children up & to make them better witnesses & more on fire!
* * *
	I also received the verses from Daniel about how the Lord allows these things to try & purge & make us white, even in the time of the End, for it is yet for the time appointed.--How the Lord allows even our children to go through these tests, battles & trials, to strengthen them & to draw them closer to Him & to help them to stand up & fight for their conviction for the Lord & the Family.
God Promises Victory in Australia!
	It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. For inasmuch as they have done it unto these little ones, they have done it unto Me. For have I not said that if anyone should even harm one of these little ones, it would be better for him that a millstone were hung around his neck & that he was cast into the depths of the sea? For indeed, vengeance is Mine & I will repay! 
	For there will be a mighty shaking in the land--that wicked, dark, evil land full of demons & devils, full of unrighteous & unclean spirits. And there shall be a great shaking in their land & I will divide the light from the darkness. For this is My purpose, for this is My doing, to divide the wheat from the tares. Fear not, for I am with you, My children, in that dark & demonic land. 
	For they are a light in the midst of darkness, & the darker the night the more brightly My light through them will shine. For I have indeed purged & purified & made them white, & they shall be strong & do exploits & instruct many. For I will use this to bring many to a decision, so that then My wrath & My judgement will fall upon the wicked, those who chose to dwell in darkness. 
	For behold, even the very hairs of your head are numbered & known to Me; how much more do I know the ways of the wicked there, & none shall escape out of My hand. For this, indeed, is the time of the End that the Prophets spake of & a time of Great Tribulation. But fear not, for I am with you & ye shall be strong & ye shall shine as the brightness of the firmament & shall instruct many. 
	The Lord is my light & my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled & fell. Though an host should rise against me, I will not fear, for Thou art with me."
* * *
	Like the chaff of the wheat which is blown away, so will I consume their enemies. For they are as nothing before Me, but I will allow them to test the children that I may prove that I am the Lord their God, for there is no victory without a battle. Therefore fear not, but fight for My children that the victory may be won. For your prayers can do mighty things. For I will deliver, but ye must fight. 
	And My children shall be taught of Me & great shall be the peace of My children. Fear not, for they will not fear for I will comfort them. I will send them a Comforter. They shall have the wisdom of the sages & I shall give them the words to speak in that hour. I will anoint each & every one. 
	For this is My plan to bring about a great victory & to strengthen those who are in need, to form that which I will. Think not that this is a fiery trial, for it is a great victory in My eyes, & before ye know it, I will bring it forth as such. It shall be a great testimony & all shall see that I am the Lord their God & that I am a powerful God & no man shall stand against Me.
	Those that point their finger against Me, I shall break them & cast them asunder. For they are as chaff before the wind & shall be blown away."
* * *
	Look not in distress upon My children who suffer. Do not be afraid & fear for them, but rejoice & be exceeding glad, for behold, they rejoice! Their ministering spirits rejoice & their Angels leap for joy at this chance that they get to testify for Me & to get a glorious victory. For behold, there is no testimony without a test & no triumph without a trial. Do not fear, do not look at this as an affliction, but see it rather as I see it. See it as a joy, as a chance to prove them, that they may show their boldness & show that they have been with Jesus, that they may show the fruits of what they have been learning. 
	For behold, I the Lord will fight for you & ye shall hold your peace. I shall bring them forth with a mighty deliverance, & My Angels are with them even now & shall be with them throughout & shall bring them forth."
* * *
	As I was with My children of old, so am I with My children today.  I will never leave you nor forsake you.  I am the same yesterday, today & forever.  I love My children with a greater love than you could ever imagine, & not one hair of their head shall perish.  For yea, I am with them there & the flames shall not kindle upon them.  
	So think it not strange concerning this fiery trial which  has come upon you, but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.  They that suffer with Him shall also reign with Him.  If ye were of the World, the World would love its own.  But because ye are not of this World, but I have chosen you out of the World, therefore the World hateth you.  
	But I pray for them, Father, not that Thou shouldest take them out of the World, but that Thou shouldst keep them safe from all evil." 
	If Jesus is praying for us, God will surely answer, so we don't have to worry! (See John 17:5-26.)
* * *
	Think ye not that at this moment I could not send twelve legions of Angels to destroy your enemies & to rescue My children? But I will get the victory in My way, that I may be glorified, even if it is only seen by the eyes of faith, for there is no man that is saved by a multitude of chariots or horses. The victory is Mine, vengeance is Mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 
	As the wicked wax worse & worse, the righteous get whiter & are purified through these things."
* * *
	I saw a picture of the Australian Family going into a tunnel, not really knowing how long it is, & I got the verse: Cast not away your confidence, for after ye have done the Will of God, ye will receive the promise."
* * *
	This is not because of their sins or the sins of their parents, but so I can perform a miracle & to be a testimony to the nations, that I will keep My promises & am able to do so."
* * *
	Why art thou cast down, O my soul, & why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the health of my countenance & my God" (Psa.43:5).
* * *
	The joy of the Lord is your strength." I saw a picture of the parents worrying about the children, but they need to really hold on & rejoice in the Lord, as that's going to be their strength. Praise is the voice of faith.
* * *
	Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all" (Psa.34:19).
* * *
If this Work be of God, no man can stand against it." (See Acts 5:38-39.)
* * *
	For I have given you a mouth & wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to gainsay nor resist. I will give total victory & I will confound My enemies." 
* * *
	Be not afraid of their faces, for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord" (Jer.1:8).
* * *
	Be still & know that I am God. I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the Earth" (Psa.46:10). 
* * *
God always makes a way of escape. (See 1Cor.10:13.)
* * *
	If you picture the whole thing as a game & consider the score, although we've had a few people taken to jail (& they have always been released), compared with the millions of souls the Family has won, we're certainly on the winning side! What they can do to us is nothing compared to the victories we've won!
* * *
I got the song by Martin Luther:
Though this World with devils filled, 
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear for God hath willed, 
His Truth to triumph through us!"  n
