Without Hope

My children, where is your joy? Where is your strength? So many of you are downcast, discouraged. Your faces look hopeless. Do you not see what is happening? Do you not know the enemy of your souls has issued this assignment against you?

As My Holy Word is being fulfilled now, the enemy of your souls knows soon his mark will be introduced. He has issued assignments against you to wear you down, to crush your hope, your courage and then your resistance, that he may claim your souls.

Your enemy knows if you have no hope, you have little strength to resist anything else he sends your way. In the time when his mark is introduced, many will capitulate and take it, thinking it is not really what it is, that it does not make a difference to their souls and they will be able to eat. Be not found among those, My children, for you are no longer Mine if you do this.

You live in the last days before My return. In this time, the battles will be unlike any before them. The persecution will also be unlike any before it, as new methods to persecute now exist.

But consider this, My mighty power will be shown like never before as well, and you will be the instruments it is shown through in the earth. I will do many mighty miracles to help the unbelievers of your time believe that you may lead them to salvation, My children.

Rejoice in your salvation. Set your faces like flint and set your hearts to endure, no matter what comes.

Nehemiah 8:10 KJV
