THE REAL VICTORS OF THE TRIBULATION!     9/83
--We're "More Than Conquerors!" (Rom.8:37)       DFO 1624
--The Other Side of the Tribulation!

         1. THE OUTSTANDINGLY GIFTED PROPHETS & PROPHETESSES & WITNESSES OF THE LAST DAYS, particularly the Tribulation Period, much of their powers to fight off the Enemy & to continue to protect their witness & witnesses will be very similar if not identical to some of the powers we'll be using in the Millennium. There comes a time when even good has to use force & violence against evil, & this is certainly clear throughout the Bible, because force & violence is almost the only thing that evil understands. But our weapons are not carnal but much more powerful, unto the tearing down of strongholds, spiritual strongholds, fighting & opposing the spiritual wickedness in the spiritual realm. (2Cor.10:4)
         2. WE'RE NOT JUST FIGHTING EVIL PEOPLE BUT EVIL SPIRITS WHO POSSESS THEM! Therefore, we have to have weapons that are more powerful than normal physical, carnal weapons. We have to have powerful spiritual weapons to use, if necessary, to resist the powers of evil & to protect ourselves from the Devil, & we have available some of these powers even right now today before the Tribulation. Men & women of God have always had these powers available from the very beginning. God had to give Godly people Godly powers to defeat & oppose & defend themselves from the powers of the Devil.
         3. IT SAYS THAT POWER IS GOING TO BE GIVEN TO THE ANTICHRIST TO OVERCOME THE ORGANISED CHURCH & TO DESTROY ITS TEMPORAL POWER, which is in process already. (Dan.7:21-25; 8:24; Rev.13:7) Today the World controls the organised church & has subdued it, dominated it & is in the process of destroying it. But that doesn't mean that they're going to defeat or dominate or destroy all of us, the true believers & those who have the supernatural powers & miraculous defenses of the Lord. "For they which do know their God shall do exploits & shall instruct many". (Dan.11:32-33) The Lord is going to give His true believers, men & women of God, Prophets & Prophetesses & witnesses, supernatural, miraculous powers of self-defense & even of attack on the forces of the Enemy in order to survive & continue witnessing until the Lord comes!
         4. IT SAYS THAT THE ANTICHRIST FORCES WEREN'T ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AGAINST THE FINAL TWO WITNESSES UNTIL THE VERY END because they were able to cause curses & plagues on the evil & to call down fire from God out of Heaven to devour their enemies, & that's some picture! That's a picture of mighty men & women of God fighting a victorious battle over the demons of Hell right until the very End, even though some of them were allowed to be martyrs.
         5. CERTAIN VERY POWERFUL MEN & WOMEN OF GOD LIKE THE ANCIENT PROPHETS & PROPHETESSES OF OLD, ARE GOING TO BE THE LEADERS & have these supernatural miraculous powers to protect & defend their flocks & followers & help them to survive to the very end, the final great witnesses depicted in Revelation.
         6. SO THERE'RE GOING TO BE MILLIONS OF US WHO SURVIVE UNTIL THE RAPTURE, LED BY THESE SUPERNATURAL MIRACULOUS LEADERS!--Some by hiding out in the wilderness as the Scripture says (Rev.12:6,14), others by defying the forces of Satan face-to-face & victorious over all the powers of the Enemy till the very End! The Lord used this symbolic figure of a woman (Heaven's Girl), & a small woman at that, to encourage us that even the so-called "weaker sex" could be more powerful in the Spirit than all the forces of the Enemy!
         7. THERE'S NOTHING REALLY NEW ABOUT IT! It happened throughout all time, all through the Bible there are stories about it, only our power's going to be tremendously increased & magnified & multiplied during the Last Days! "Where sin doth abound, grace doth much more abound!" (Rom.5:20) And where Satanic power is going to abound, then God's power is going to much more abound to protect His Own! God's purpose is not going to be defeated.
         8. THE TRIBULATION PERIOD IS GOING TO BE A DEFEAT FOR CHURCHIANITY & THE SO-CALLED "HOLY PEOPLE", BUT NOT FOR THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD, THE GENUINE CHRISTIANS! It's going to be a time of waging war on the Devil & all his Antichrist forces in powerful victory right up to the End!--Otherwise there'd be nobody to survive to be raptured! So don't worry about it! You'll have what it takes when the time comes--power for the hour, & every hour!--And even at the darkest hour you'll still have power for the hour to meet every difficulty & every problem & every opposition, the supernatural miraculous power of God!--Just like I saw in this dream of Heaven's Girl.
         9. WE WANT TO CONSTANTLY REMIND PEOPLE OF THE SOURCE OF HER POWER, & emphasise the fact that she's a normal human being, a normal young woman with supernatural miraculous powers here & now, especially gifted for the protection of the Saints.
         10. THERE WILL BE NOTHING THE ANTICHRIST CAN DO TO STOP THE FAMOUS TWO WITNESSES OF REVELATION 11, UNTIL 3-&-1/2 DAYS BEFORE THE LORD COMES! Then he will be allowed to kill them, that the cup of the iniquity of the wicked may be full, & while they're actually rejoicing over their deaths, suddenly the Lord will come & resurrect them & rapture them! That in itself is a mighty victory showing that God can even have victory over the deaths of martyrdom & slaughter! So we don't have to think that we're just going to be cowering, hunted victims. Most of us are going to be not cowering but powering in our fight & battle & defense of the Gospel right up to the End, with all the forces of Heaven on our side, including the curses & plagues of God on the Enemy, & the Lord's defence by all kinds of strange monsters described in the Bible that appear during the Tribulation Period to defend us!
         11. THE TRIBULATION PERIOD IS GOING TO BE MOSTLY A TIME OF HORROR & SUFFERING FOR THE POWERS OF SATAN & THE ANTICHRIST FORCES! They're the ones that are pictured as suffering the most, & in a sense, it's the time of their greatest defeat! For despite the fact that they've got the whole World at last under their power & control, they still can't defeat the True Christians or stop them or even stop their witness! We need a picture of the Tribulation as a time of great battle, that's true, a great struggle, great tribulation, but most of the horrors are for the World & the wicked, not for us!
         12. THE TRIBULATION PERIOD & THE ANTICHRIST ARE GOING TO HELP DESTROY EVEN SOME OF OUR ENEMIES, THE RELIGIONISTS who hate us, & the Antichrist will destroy the violent West, the Western rich who have oppressed & exploited the poor of the World. God's going to use the Antichrist to destroy them & the so-called church who have opposed & hated & persecuted us. So not everything he does is bad. A lot of what he does is going to be good & designed by the Lord to destroy our enemies. But when he tries to destroy us, that'll be his end, because we will destroy him in the End!
         13. SO WE SHOULDN'T BE ALWAYS PAINTING SUCH A HORRIBLE GLOOMY PICTURE OF THE TRIBULATION. We need to show our people the other side of the Tribulation, the victorious view of what marvellous witnessing we're going to do then. I'd say we're already manifesting a certain amount of the supernatural miraculous power of God & His protection of us right now today, which is no less miraculous than it will be then, really, because they're out to get us now! They'd like to kill us now, but they can't, they haven't been able to. They haven't stopped us yet. In fact we're growing & spreading all the time & spreading the Gospel more every day, in spite of all they can do! HAL! TYJ!
         14. SO WHY GET SO WORRIED ABOUT THE TRIBULATION? It's going to be a period when we are going to even have a greater testimony & a greater witness & even more miraculous survival & supernatural defence. The whole World will know, & every last person that can possibly be saved is going to be saved, & all the rest are going to have their wickedness be made so manifest that their judgement will be sure. Our witness will have gone out to the ends of the Earth & even angels will be preaching the Gospel from the heavens so that the whole World will hear it & be without excuse.
         15. SO QUIT LOOKING ON THE TRIBULATION AS A HORRIBLE DEFEAT WITH NOTHING BUT PERSECUTION & SUFFERING! There will be some of that, but it's going to be primarily a time of great victory over the forces of Satan & tremendous triumph over the Antichrist wicked! So don't fear it! Don't worry about it! Look forward to it as a time when we're really going to fight'm face-to-face & defeat'm with all the supernatural miraculous powers of God! HAL! TYJ!
         16. WE'VE GOT TO WIN!--WE'RE THE HEROES & THE HEROINES! The forces of God cannot be defeated & the plan of God cannot be frustrated! We're bound to win! We can't lose! So what are you worried about? Praise the Lord! God's going to take care of you & use you like you've never been used before! Just think! We're going to be able to zap'm, evaporate'm, freeze'm, burn'm--all the things you see in these sci-fi movies, we'll be able to do that & more to our enemies who fight against us & the Lord! HAL! TYJ! C'mon--Let's sock it to'm at last!--Are you ready? GBAKYAMYAB to the very End!--Amen?
