         You have seen the heavy battle that your young ones are facing. You have seen the Devil's strong pull on them, and the darts which he casts at them. The battle is heavier than it has ever been, for the Enemy knows that his time is short. The thing which he fights the most is the thing which would strengthen them the most--their receiving My Words.--And especially My Words for
today, for they contain the battle plan which I give you step by step. If each one would but reach out with his heart and receive them, they would be strengthened personally to fight through to victory. The Enemy knows this and fights vehemently to prevent their receiving of My Word.
         It is your job as a shepherd to lead the way, to call and say, "Taste and see that the Lord is good! Come and see! Behold the treasures contained in the wonderful Words of the Lord!" It is not within your power to make them receive it, and that is not the job that I have given you. Your job is only to have
faith and show a sample of receiving and drinking in My Words, My New Wine, and calling to them, saying, "Look, I've found the answer! Yes, it has been difficult. Yes, I have also experienced those things that you feel, but herein is the answer! Try it and see that it works! Taste and see that it is good! It is free, it is abundant, and it is for you!" That is all you must do.
