French Persecution!
(7/93, a few days before the children's release in France:)
1. France has never really been too worried about what the rest of the world thinks, because they're so like Israel. I think we should be putting up such a howl that the press and the world will be horrified at what they've just done to us! I don't believe the world would put up with it if they knew about it! Why isn't the press carrying our story? Well, we know why the press isn't carrying it, because the press is AC! The ACs probably put a ban on it, and spread the word not to publicize our story!
2. The Antichrist is furious, and he's really putting the pressure on the ACs, and they're putting the pressure on us! Lord, You need to put the pressure on them! I'm furious at what they're doing to us! I want to see You do something about it and get those poor, helpless children out of the hands of those monsters! Shake'm up, Lord! Help those judges to see Your angels of vengeance! Scare them to death for having touched Thy children!
3. If the governments whose citizens are involved don't do something about it, it will show how wicked they've become! If the U.S. doesn't do anything to rescue its own citizens, they're just as bad. Of course, after burning the Davidians to death, we know they're just as bad, if not worse!
Sock It to'm, Lord!
(Shortly after the children's release in France:)
4. (7/93) Let's attack now! The fight's not over just because they released our kids. They're trying to get away with their evil deeds, and I want to see them suffer! (Prays:) Lord, You promised the wicked would suffer manyfold, many times over what we have suffered. I know they're going to suffer in the Battle of Armageddon and in Hell, but I want to see some satisfaction now! I want to see them suffer now, soon, for what they did to us! Thank You Lord that You've started doing something, but it's just not enough yet. I want to see them suffer like they made us suffer! They made Thy children suffer, Lord, emotionally and physically, and they slowed down Thy work!
5. Sock it to'm, Lord, in Jesus' name! You promised, Lord, that "he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of Mine eye!" (Zec.2:8). Defend Yourself, Lord! Sock'm back! Put their eyes out, Lord, instead of letting the Devil try to put out ours! Have mercy, Lord! Please give us victories, in Jesus' name!
Our Kids Are Steamrollers!
6. (8/93) Our kids have had such good training! These people who are trying to fight the kind of power our kids have might as well just forget it! Our kids are steamrollers! Our enemies think they're going to crush us, but we're going to crush them, with the Lord's help!
The Antichrist Monster!
7. It doesn't take much to turn people back to savagery. Civilization has become a thin veneer, easily scratched. What an evil beast that monster is that attacks little children--the Antichrist who takes them away from their parents! He's directing it from behind the scenes!
8. Lord bless our people and help them to stand up and fight and expose the evil beasts, in Jesus' name!
Winning the Romans!
9. When the Early Church finally got it together, they conquered the Romans. In fact, they won the Romans! Up until that time the Church was pretty divided, but when they finally got together, they won the Romans.--Not the Jews, but the Romans. [T]here is a little possibility of winning the "Romans," especially when other groups see how [our enemies] are operating and using the Romans. Maybe we'll win the Romans when they wake up to see how they're being deceived and misled and used by [our enemies], like Pilate did. He got fed up with them, but couldn't get rid of them, so he tried to wash his hands of the whole affair. (See Mat.27:22-24.)
Persecution Is Driving the Church Together!
10. (8/93) What happened in Waco has given great encouragement to the persecution of the sects. The Devil is rejoicing and now wanting more so-called "victories" like that, and most people are going along with it.
11. I'll tell you, the Church is going to be driven together more and more. That's one good thing all of this persecution is accomplishing--it's making the persecuted groups work together more. If people have ever been persecuted themselves, they more readily sympathize with other persecuted peoples. I don't mind working with the Scientologists or the New Age, or the Church Universal and Triumphant with all their spirit helpers, as long as they're fighting our enemies!
12. We're willing to work together with a lot of people with a lot of strange doctrines, as long as they are fighting for the same righteous cause against the same evil people! Amen? The Moonies believe that their leader, Sun Myung Moon, is Jesus! Well, you can take Scripture to prove you're Jesus, in a way. We're all part of the body of Christ, so we are part of Jesus. But we're not the only Jesus, He has lots of parts. I would say if these groups preach Christ and they receive us, it's a pretty good sign! And even if they don't actively preach Jesus, but they're not against Him, and they receive us, that's a pretty good sign too.
The Mormons and Their Persecution!
13. (8/93) I dreamt about the Mormons last night. I used to have a very good book on the history of Joseph Smith and the Mormons. We really have a lot in common with them. They've been a so-called cult for nearly 200 years now, and they're still considered a cult and still fought by the mainstream churches. The federal government made war on them in the 1800s, actually brought up guns and troops and an army, and surrounded Salt Lake City. They said, "If you don't renounce polygamy, we're going to start shelling your city and your Temple!" (Note: Most Mormons did stop polygamy at that time. However, the official renunciation did not come for another 40 years.)
14. So the U.S. government has been persecuting cults for many years. They finally killed poor Joseph Smith. They caught him, threw him in jail, and then they let a "lynch mob" come in, who shot and killed him. Pitiful! It was kind of like a David Koresh scene. But that didn't stop the Mormons! They have gotten stronger and stronger every year, and now they're numbered in the millions worldwide and have missionaries in almost every country. If anything, persecution strengthened them!
God Laughs Last!
15. (9/93) I was praying for the Family in Argentina and the Lord said, "Just wait until you see the end!" And it was just like He was grinning! Like the verse in the second Psalm, He'll be the One Who will laugh last! (Psa.2:4; Psa.37:13). God laughs, and He especially laughs when He has victories over His enemies and makes fools of them! He must enjoy making fools out of these guys. The Lord always likes to really surprise them and shock them and not let it turn out the way they expected it.
Tribulation to Those Who Trouble Us!
16. (9/93) The more they curse us, the more they'll be cursed! The worse they treat us, the worse God is going to treat them! The more hell they give us, the greater their place in Hell!--And the greater our testimony. "Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in Heaven!" (Mat.5:12).--And greater is their doom!
Keep Fighting to Keep the Victory!
17. The only way you can keep the victory is to keep fighting and keep praising the Lord! You can't let up for a minute or allow an unguarded moment. You've got to keep fighting to keep the victory! Help the Family to keep fighting, Lord, and keep the victory, and give us victories! Thank You Jesus! Thank You for how You have, in Jesus' name, amen!
