—AFTER OUR NARROW ESCAPES FROM MALTA & SICILY!—EVEN BEFORE JONESTOWN! PTL!

1. THANK YOU LORD! WE'RE SURE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET US ALL ON OUR TOES & MAKE US VERY SECURITY-CONSCIOUS! WE MUST NOT BE IGNORANT OF THE DEVIL'S EVIL DEVICES‚ & WE MUST KNOW THAT WE'RE IN A WAR, A SPIRITUAL WARFARE! ...

2. THE ENEMY'S MAKING A NEW ALL-OUT ATTACK AGAINST THE FAMILY & HAS COME AWFULLY CLOSE TO US, NARROWLY MISSING US PERSONALLY A COUPLE TIMES NOW, LORD. WE ALL NEED TO BE ON OUR GUARD & PARTICULARLY CAUTIOUS IN CASE THERE ARE NOTICES OUT TO GET RID OF ALL FOREIGNERS WHO BELONG TO "THAT GROUP" IN MORE COUNTRIES THAN ITALY OR MALTA, SO THAT WE WILL BE CAUTIOUS & KNOW WHAT TO DO.

3. WE DON'T YET KNOW EXACTLY WHAT ALL TO DO, LORD—YOU'LL HAVE TO SHOW US. A LOT OF TIME'S WE THOUGHT WE KNEW WHAT TO DO & WE ALMOST DID THE WRONG THING, & WE'RE SO THANKFUL THAT YOU STOPPED US & GOT US OUT OF THERE IN TIME.

4. LORD, IN JESUS' NAME, HELP US TO GET OUT OF THESE TIGHT SITUATIONS IF IT BE POSSIBLE. THANK YOU LORD! HELP THEM TO SOMETIMES EVEN FORGET THE BAGGAGE & GET OUT WITH THE LIVES THAT REALLY COUNT, THE VERY VALUABLE PERSONNEL! DELIVER THY CHILDREN FROM THE HAND OF THE ENEMY & SHOW US WHAT TO DO FROM HERE ON.

5. WE HAVE A NEW NAME & A NEW ORGANISATION & EVEN NEW LEADERSHIP—WE'RE A TOTALLY NEW GROUP! SOME OF US MAY BE FROM THE OLD ONE, BUT WE HOPE WE'RE TOTALLY NEW PEOPLE, LORD, WITH A NEW OUTLOOK & POLICIES & PRACTISES & ATTITUDES & FAITH & ALL.

6. MAKE US GENUINELY SINCERELY NEW, AS WE HAVE HOPED WE WOULD BE, LORD. HELP US TO SHED ALL OF THE BAD HABITS & PAST SINS OF THE FORMER GROUP AS WELL AS THE PAST ENMITIES OF PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T LIKE THOSE PEOPLE & THE WAY THEY DID THINGS. WE DIDN'T LIKE SOME OF THEM OURSELVES‚ LORD, & WE DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY THEY DID SOME THINGS EITHER.

7. WE REALLY FEEL THE NEED OF DECLARING "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT!"—WE'RE NOT EVEN THE SAME PLACE OR THE SAME GROUP, BUT A TOTALLY NEW & DIFFERENT ORGANISATION WITH A NEW NAME, NEW FAMILY, NEW POLICIES & PRACTISES—TOTALLY NEW!

8. WE'RE A WHOLE NEW KETTLE OF FISH! TYL! WE OURSELVES PERSONALLY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DENY WHAT WE WERE, HARDLY ANY OF US, THAT WE WERE ONCE A PART OF THAT GROUP, BUT NOW NO LONGER—WE'RE OUT OF IT & WE'VE FORMED A NEW GROUP.

9. WE TOLD THEM ALL TO CHANGE NAMES, ORGANISATIONS, LEADERSHIP, EVERYTHING! SO WE HAVE DEFINITELY GOTTEN RID OF THAT OLD, WE HOPE, & ARE COMPLETELY NEW. HELP US TO REALISE IT, HOW DRASTIC A CHANGE IT WAS.

10. NOW WE BEGIN TO REALISE, LORD, HOW NECESSARY IT WAS: YOU IN YOUR FORE-VISION SAW WHAT WAS COMING & THAT THE ENEMY WAS GOING TO ATTACK EVEN MORE SEVERELY. IT WAS NOT ONLY FOR OUR OWN GOOD & THE GOOD OF LEADERSHIP & POLICIES & ORGANISATION, BUT EVEN FOR THE GOOD OF SECURITY‚ THAT ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED.

11. OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW & WE ARE NEW CREATURES IN CHRIST JESUS! (2CO.5:17.) HELP US TO CLAIM THAT, LORD, BELIEVE IT & ACT LIKE IT! TYJ! GIVE US WISDOM. SPARE US AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

12. LORD BLESS THESE DEAR ONES, THESE LOVED ONES! WE'RE HOTTER THAN EVER & ALMOST FUGITIVES! WE ASK THEE RIGHT NOW IN JESUS' NAME, WE PLEAD THY PROTECTION BY THY PROMISES OVER THIS HOUSE, LORD, & THIS HOUSEHOLD, THY PERSONNEL, TO DELIVER US OUT OF THE HAND OF THE ADVERSARY, TO COMPLETELY PROTECT US HERE, THAT IN NO WAY SHALL THIS FAMILY HERE BE FOUND OUT.

13. ... WE ASK THEE TO PROTECT US & GIVE US PEACE FOR AWHILE, AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

15. HELP US‚ LORD! IN JESUS' NAME, GIVE US WISDOM!—GIVE US WISDOM WHAT TO DO DAY BY DAY, NOT TO WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, LORD, BUT TO MAKE CONTINGENCY PLANS ON WHAT WE SHOULD DO IF WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING MORE THAN WE'RE DOING NOW, OR DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY WE'RE DOING IT NOW. WE ASK THEE IN JESUS' NAME, TO PROTECT US.

16. BUT HELP THESE NOT TO WORRY, NOT TO BECOME OVERLY ANXIOUS OR CONCERNED. YOU SAID "BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING" (PH.4:6.)‚ BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING BUT TO HAVE "PERFECT PEACE BECAUSE OUR MINDS ARE STAYED ON THEE, TO REST IN THEE BECAUSE WE TRUST IN THEE." (IS.26:3.)

17. AT THE SAME TIME, LORD, WE'VE HAD TO DO SOME PLANNING & FAST MOVING IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF SOME OF THE DEVIL'S TRAPS‚ & WE ASK THEE TO HELP US TO BE BETTER PREPARED NEXT TIME!

18. SOME OF THIS, LORD, WE BROUGHT ON OUR SELVES BY OUR OWN LACK OF WISDOM. IF WE HAD JUST COME FOR OUR THREE MONTHS TOURIST STAY & GONE, WE BELIEVE SOME OF IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. WE'D RATHER LEAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND BUT THE CLOTHES ON OUR BACKS TO GET OUT SAFELY!

19. WE'VE COMMITTED NO CRIMES, LORD, WE'VE NOT VIOLATED ANY LAWS THAT WE KNOW OF. WE'RE ONLY GUILTY OF ONE THING‚ & THAT'S BEING YOUR CHILDREN! BUT THIS HAS BECOME A CRIME IN THIS MODERN DAY & AGE, LORD, IN THIS DAY OF SUPPOSED FREEDOM & LOUDLY TOUTED RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, IT'S BECOME A CRIME TO BE ONE OF YOURS, A REAL CRIME, & THEY'RE NOW DOING EVERYTHING TO GET RID OF US!

20. LORD, THIS IS OUT & OUT RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION! THE ONLY QUESTIONS THEY ASKED US WERE RELIGIOUS!—THE SAME AS WHEN I HAD TO GO BEFORE THE JUDGE IN TENERIFE, LORD: HIS WHOLE LINE OF QUESTIONING WAS ALL RELIGIOUS.

21. SO IT'S DIRECT RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION! NO MATTER WHAT EXCUSES THEY GIVE, NO MATTER WHAT TRUMPED UP CHARGES THEY GIVE, NO MATTER WHAT PROVOCATION THEY CLAIM. WE KNOW & YOU KNOW & THE DEVIL KNOWS & THEY KNOW IT'S JUST OUT & OUT RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION, BECAUSE OF OUR RELIGION & OUR RELIGIOUS PRACTISES!

22. SO HELP US LORD TO BE ABLE TO STAND IT WHEN IT COMES & ABLE TO GET OUT OF IT WHEN WE CAN. YOU ADVISED US, LORD, THAT "IF THEY PERSECUTE YOU IN ONE CITY, FLEE YE TO ANOTHER" (MT.10:23)‚ & LORD, WE HAVE DONE JUST THAT SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE PAST FEW MONTHS. SO LORD WE JUST HOPE & PRAY IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN TOO SOON.

23. WE ASK THEE TO GIVE THE AUTHORITIES GOOD HEARTS & FAIR MINDS, EVEN IF SOME ARE ALREADY IN QUESTION. WE'RE SURE THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS ON THE STREETS NO DOUBT WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE STOPPED, & IF THEY HAVE ISSUED THE SAME ORDERS HERE, THE FIRST TO BE EXPELLED.

24. ... JUST GIVE US THE FAITH TO REMEMBER YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE NOR FORSAKE US EVEN TO THE END OF THE WORLD! YOU HAVE PROMISED THAT YOU'D ALWAYS FEED US. YOU WILL ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF US. YOU HAVEN'T ALWAYS PROMISED A HOUSE, BUT YOU'VE BEEN GOOD TO US. YOU SAID, "HAVING FOOD & CLOTHING THEREWITH TO BE CONTENT." (1TIM.6:8.)

25. EVEN STARVING, LORD, IS NOT SUCH A BAD DEATH, OR EVEN DYING FROM COLD & EXPOSURE IS ONE OF THE EASIEST DEATHS IN THE WORLD! IF IT'S DONE FOR THEE, WE KNOW YOU'LL MAKE IT EASY. BUT WHATEVER IT IS, LORD, WE KNOW IT'S RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.

26. SO WE ASK THEE TO GIVE THE AUTHORITIES A HEART FOR US, TURN THE HEARTS OF THE RULERS TOWARD THY PEOPLE. REBUKE THE DEVIL IN THIS LATEST DRIVE WITH HIS LATEST MACHINATIONS TO TRY TO GET RID OF US!

27. WE RESIST YOU, SATAN‚ IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST! WE BIND YOU, O LUCIFER & OPLEXICON, IN THE NAME OF JESUS! DELIVER THY CHILDREN, O GOD‚ FROM THESE DEVILS & THEIR FOLLOWERS, IN JESUS' NAME! YOU PROMISED, LORD, SO HERE WE ARE, WE AGREE TOGETHER.

28. "WHATSOEVER THINGS SHALL BE BOUND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN!—AND WHATSOEVER IS LOOSED ON EARTH IS LOOSED IN HEAVEN‚" & "WHOEVER'S SINS SHALL BE REMITTED SHALL BE REMITTED UNTO THEM‚ & WHOSESOEVER'S SINS ARE RETAINED SHALL BE RETAINED." (MT.16:19; JN.20:23.)

29. WE ASK THEE TO HOLD RESPONSIBLE THOSE WHO HAVE CAUSED US TROUBLE, & TROUBLE THEM WHICH TRIBULATE US! (2TH.1:6.) WE DON'T DOUBT THAT MALTA, WHO REJECTED THY CHILDREN & REJECTED THY WORD‚ IS NOW GOING TO SUFFER AS A RESULT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY TREATED US & THY WORD, THY WORD THAT SATURATED THAT ISLAND, LORD. BUT YOU KNOW, LORD. THERE MUST NOT HAVE BEEN A PERSON ON THAT ISLAND THAT DIDN'T MEET ONE OF US AT ONE TIME & HEAR THY WORD AT SOME TIME, BUT THEY REJECTED IT. EVEN SOME OF THOSE ARE NO DOUBT THE ONES THAT COMPLAINED & CAUSED THE GOVERNMENT TO CLAMP DOWN.

30. BUT NOW WE BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING TO REPAY THEM ACCORDINGLY! AS THEY HAVE SOWED, THEY'RE GOING TO REAP & THEY'RE GOING TO SUFFER FOR IT! WE BELIEVE WE WERE THEIR LAST CHANCE‚ LORD, AS HAS BEEN THE CASE IN SO MANY PLACES. (THE COMMUNISTS ARE NOW TAKING THEM OVER!) IF ITALY IS NOW GOING TO FOLLOW SUIT THEN WE KNOW NOT HOW MANY DAYS THAT ITALY'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED. (THE COMMUNISTS HAVE JUST TOPPLED THEIR GOVERNMENT!) AND IF GERMANY IS GOING THE WAY SHE IS & CONTINUES TO PERSECUTE THY CHILDREN, WE KNOW HER DAYS ARE NUMBERED, YOU'LL REPAY!

31. AMERICA HAS BEEN SATURATED WITH THY WORD, BUT THEY STILL REFUSE TO REPENT! ENGLAND, THE SAME: IN THY MERCY YOU'VE EVEN SENT SOME OF US BACK THERE AGAIN‚ SATURATING HER WITH THE WARNINGS ONCE AGAIN.—ENGLAND THAT WAS SO CHRISTIAN, THE ENGLISH WHO WERE SO GOOD AT ONE TIME.

32. NOW ENGLAND'S ALREADY SUFFERING, ONE OF THE POOREST NATIONS IN ALL EUROPE, VIRTUALLY BANKRUPT, WITH CONDITIONS GETTING WORSE ALL THE TIME! YOU CERTAINLY HAVE REPAID THEM, LORD! THEY THRUST THY CHILDREN OUT & CAUSED US LOTS OF TROUBLE THERE. AFTER RECEIVING US & BLESSING US FOR AWHILE, YOU BLESSED THEM. BUT THEN THEY BEGAN TO PERSECUTE US, & YOU BEGAN TO MAKE THEM REAP WHAT THEY SOWED!

33. SOME PLACES HAVE RECEIVED US & BEEN GOOD TO US, EVEN WHEN THEY KNEW US, EVEN IN THEIR COURTS. THEY GAVE US THE RIGHT TO LITNESS. TYL! BLESS THE ONES WHO'VE ADVOCATED FOR US & BLESS THOSE THAT HAVE STUCK UP FOR US. EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE EXACTLY AS WE BELIEVE, THEY BELIEVED IN OUR RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH & RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. WE ASK THEE TO KEEP US FREE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

34. WE BELIEVE THAT'S WHY YOU BLESSED THEM, LORD. YOU'VE BLESSED THEM FOR IT, LORD, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BLESSED THY POOR EXILES & POLITICAL REFUGEES & UNDERDOGS. NOW HELP THEM LORD TO BLESS US. THEY HAVE BLESSED US IN THE PAST, HELP THEM NOT TO BE SWAYED BY THIS DAMNED POISONOUS PROPAGANDA OF OUR ENEMIES!

35. BE WITH OUR BRETHREN WHO HAVE BEEN IN BONDS OR WHO ARE MAKING THEIR GETAWAY & TRYING TO FLEE AS YOU WARNED US. KEEP THEM SAFELY, & MAY WE GET GOOD NEWS THAT THEY HAVE GOTTEN OUT!

36. LORD, YOU COULD JUST BLIND THE ENEMIES' EYES, AS WE'VE ASKED YOU TO DO IN TIMES PAST WHEN WE WERE FLEEING, AS YOU DID IN THE CASE OF LOT & THE ANGELS—YOU BLINDED THEIR EYES SO THAT THEY GROPED BLINDLY ABOUT & COULDN'T EVEN FIND THE DOOR! (GE.19:11.) SHUT THE DOOR, LORD. BLIND THEIR EYES, HELP THEM TO IGNORE US, HELP THEM NOT TO SEE US, SO WE CAN GET AWAY! LORD, WE ASK THEE RIGHT NOW IN JESUS' NAME‚ DELIVER THY CHILDREN, THESE WHO ARE SO IMPORTANT TO THY WORK, LORD!

37. FORGIVE US FOR BEING SO WEIGHTED DOWN WITH SO MANY HEAVY WEIGHTS! YOU SAID TO "LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT" SO WE COULD RUN! (HE.12:1.) LORD GOD, HELP US TO QUIT LUGGING SO MANY WEIGHTS AROUND WITH US THAT MAKE IT SO DIFFICULT FOR US TO RUN WHEN THE TIME COMES.

38. HELP US TO REALISE THAT THE DANGER IS REAL EVER–PRESENT & SOMETIMES IMMINENT, & WE MUST ALWAYS BE PREPARED TO SUDDENLY CHANGE COURSE, TO SUDDENLY VEER TO ANOTHER PLACE ... & NOT TO HAVE TO CARRY TOO MUCH WITH US.

39. LORD, WE'RE BACK ALMOST TO THE DAYS OF THE APOSTLES AGAIN. ... WE MUST HAVE CONTINGENCY PLANS, LORD, TO TAKE CARE OF THY BUSINESS IF SOME SHOULD HAVE TO MOVE FROM HERE. WE ASK YOU TO HELP US TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS.

40. HELP US NATIONALISE WHERE WE CAN, LORD‚ TO MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO GET RID OF US, UNLESS THEY VIOLATE THEIR OWN LAWS & THEIR OWN CONSTITUTION, LIKE GERMANY'S DOING RIGHT NOW—PROHIBITING RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES & FREEDOMS ON VARIOUS FLIMSY RIDICULOUS PRETEXTS & EXCUSES!

41. THEY SAY IT'S NOT RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION, BUT IT IS, & YOU KNOW IT & THEY KNOW IT & THE DEVIL KNOWS IT & WE KNOW IT & ANYBODY IN HIS RIGHT MIND CAN SEE IT! THEY TACKLE THE POOR LITTLE UNDERDOGS WHO CAN'T DO MUCH IN RETURN, & THE REST OF THEM LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY THINK IT'S TO THEIR ADVANTAGE—THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH & SYSTEM.

42. BUT LORD, IF THEY ALLOW THEM TO PERSECUTE US, THE DAY IS COMING WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO BE PERSECUTED TEN-FOLD MORE THAN THEY GAVE US! YOU'RE GOING TO DISH IT OUT TO THEM TOO, & WE DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE FAR AWAY! JESUS HELP US‚ DELIVER US, BLESS & KEEP US NOW, LORD.

43. STRENGTHEN THESE WHO ARE THY FAITHFUL SERVANTS & DILIGENT IN THY SERVICE. BLESS THEM & KEEP THEM, GIVE THEM GREAT WISDOM‚ GREAT CAUTION, GREAT SECURITY. HELP US AS WE NOW DISCUSS THE MOVES WHICH MUST BE MADE & THE VARIOUS CONTINGENCY PLANS WHICH WE MUST HAVE.

44. LEAD US BY THY SPIRIT, LORD, & STOP US IF THERE'S ANY WRONG DECISION MADE, IF WE GO THE WRONG DIRECTION IN ANY WAY, STOP US, LORD. TURN US AROUND & GET US HEADED THE WAY YOU KNOW IS BEST. THY WILL BE DONE, HAVE THY WAY.

45. HELP EVERY SINGLE ONE TO BE LOYAL TO THEE MOST OF ALL, & IN BEING LOYAL TO THEE‚ TO BE LOYAL TO THY FAMILY, THESE THY CHILDREN, LORD. WE ARE THY CHILDREN, WE ARE WHOM THEY ACCUSE US OF BEING‚ LORD, BUT NOT THAT SAME ORGANISATION ANYMORE—THAT YOU KNOW!

46. WE ARE DIFFERENT: WE CAN SAY WITH ST. AUGUSTINE, "I AM NO LONGER I" (ML #172:25).—WE ARE NEW CREATURES, A NEW NAME, A NEW ORGANISATION, NEW PEOPLE, NEW LEADERSHIP‚ NEW POLICIES, NEW EVERYTHING.

47. BUT WE CANNOT DENY YOU, JESUS, WE CANNOT DENY THE TRUTH! SO HELP US TO STAND FAST, LOYAL, FAITHFUL & DILIGENT, READY AS SOLDIERS AT EVERY INSTANCE TO BE ABLE TO "GIVE AN ANSWER TO HIM THAT ASKETH OF THEE" (1PE.3:15.), TO KNOW WHEREOF WE SPEAK & BE ABLE TO SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY‚ CONVICTION & HONESTY TO AUTHORITIES & OTHERWISE.

48. HELP NO ONE HERE TO DO ANYTHING UNWISE, THE SLIGHTEST THING, SAY THE SLIGHTEST WORD, MAKE THE SLIGHTEST ACTION‚ MOVE OR GO ANYWHERE THAT WOULD IN ANY WAY DO ANYTHING OR SAY ANYTHING TO JEOPARDISE THY KINGDOM & THIS HOUSE & THESE PEOPLE & THY LEADERSHIP.

49. GIVE US GREAT WISDOM, GREAT CAUTION, LORD, IMMENSE SECURITY! WE KNOW, LORD, THAT THY "ANGELS ENCOMPASS 'ROUND ABOUT THEM THAT FEAR THEE," & THAT "YOU HAVE GIVEN YOUR ANGELS CHARGE OVER US TO CARE FOR US IN ALL OUR WAYS," LORD. (PS.34:7; 91:11.) BUT LORD, HELP US NOT TO GIVE THEM A HARD TIME:

50. HELP US TO COOPERATE & FOLLOW THE LEADING OF THY SPIRIT & THY HOLY SPIRITS, TO DO WHAT THEY KNOW IS BEST. HELP US FOLLOW OUR HUNCHES & FEELINGS & THOSE CHECKS OF THY SPIRIT & THOSE STRANGE STILL SMALL VOICES, LORD, THAT TELL US, "THIS IS THE WAY, WALK YE IN IT!"

51. "FOR THOU SHALT HEAR A VOICE BESIDE THEE SAYING THIS IS THE WAY, WALK YE IN IT!" (IS.30:21.) HELP US LORD TO MIND THOSE VOICES, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY SEEM UNREASONABLE OR RIDICULOUS, & WE WONDER WHY SHOULD WE NOT DO AS USUAL OR GO THIS PLACE AS USUAL OR DO THAT AS USUAL OR SAY THAT. IF WE HAVE ANY CHECK IN THE SPIRIT AT ALL, LORD, HELP US TO MIND IT, KNOWING THAT YOU KNOW WHY.

52. THANK YOU FOR STOPPING US FROM GOING BACK TO MALTA JUST IN TIME & THANK YOU FOR GETTING US OUT OF SICILY JUST IN TIME! THANK YOU FOR GETTING US THROUGH THE OTHER PLACES IN SPITE OF THOSE PROBLEMS THE DEVIL TRIES TO GIVE US. NOW PROTECT THESE THY CHILDREN HERE AS WELL AS THOSE ON THE WAY‚ LORD.

53. PROTECT US, KEEP US & BRING US TO A PLACE OF SAFETY & REFUGE. AS SARA GOT THAT VERSE THE OTHER DAY, LORD, "THOU HAST PREPARED A REFUGE FOR THY CHILDREN, THERE REMAINETH NOW THEREFORE A REST UNTO THY CHILDREN. ..." (PR.14:26; HE.4:9.) I'M ALMOST AFRAID TO SAY THE NAME THAT'S IN THE VERSE, LORD, LEST WE BE IDENTIFIED, BUT YOU KNOW.

54. IF THERE'S ANYTHING FURTHER YOU NEED TO BRING TO OUR MINDS & WE NEED TO TELL THESE HERE TO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT, WE ASK THEE TO DO IT. WE NEED TO FAST SOMETIMES, TOO‚ LORD, TO PRAY, & THIS IS ONE OF THEM. IT'S BEEN MORE IMPORTANT FOR US TO TELL THESE THIS MESSAGE & TO PRAY THAN IT HAS BEEN TO EAT.

55. HELP US TO ATTEND TO THIS LITTLE THING OR THAT LITTLE THING, WHETHER IT BE THE LICENSE OF A CAR OR ANY OFFICIAL DEALINGS WITH THE SYSTEM, ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BRING ANY PROBLEMS. HELP US TO LIVE EXEMPLARY LORD. "HONEST TOWARD THEM THAT ARE WITHOUT." (RO.12:17.) THAT WE BE A TESTIMONY & EXAMPLE, & NOT BRING ANY KIND OF INVESTIGATION OR ANY REFLECTION ON US OR THY CHILDREN OR THY CAUSE OR THEE, IN JESUS' NAME.

56. GIVE EACH ONE OF THEM INDIVIDUAL WISDOM WHAT TO DO & WHAT NOT TO DO‚ WHAT TO SAY & WHAT NOT TO SAY‚ WHERE TO GO & WHERE NOT TO GO, ETC. WE NEED YOU SO MUCH LORD! WE CAN MAKE SUCH FOOLISH MISTAKES & RIDICULOUS DECISIONS IF WE'RE OUT OF THE SPIRIT & DWELLING IN THE FLESH & NATURAL REASONING, LIKE THAT RIDICULOUS DECISION WE MADE IN SICILY TO GO BACK TO MALTA!

57. ACCORDING TO ALL NATURAL EXPECTATION & ALL NATURAL REASONING & ALL VISIBLE SIGNS, IT SEEMED IT WAS CLEAR & WE COULD GO BACK, WHEN ALL THE TIME THEY WERE PLOTTING AGAINST US! THANK YOU LORD THAT BY YOUR SPIRIT YOU MADE IT CLEAR! YOU PRESSED US SO IN THE SPIRIT AGAINST IT, LORD‚ THAT WE ALMOST GOT SICK! WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG, BUT WE FELT SOMEHOW SOMETHING WAS WRONG & WE'D MADE A WRONG DECISION, WE WERE SO BURDENED! (THEY SOON SEARCHED EVERYTHING!)

58. WE COULDN'T SEE WHY OR UNDERSTAND WITH OUR NATURAL MIND WHY, BUT WE JUST FELT IN THE SPIRIT THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT!—AND IT WASN'T MANY HOURS UNTIL YOU SHOWED US WHY! HELP US TO FOLLOW THOSE LEADINGS & CHECKS & WARNINGS OF THY SPIRIT IN EVERY STEP WE MAKE LORD. EVERY WORD WE SAY, EVERY LOOK, EVERY ACTION, EVEN THE WAY WE DRESS, LORD HOW WE DRIVE, EVERYTHING!

59. HELP US TO REALISE THAT THY KINGDOM IS AT STAKE, THY SERVANTS ARE AT STAKE‚ THY CHILDREN & THEIR SECURITY & THY WORLDWIDE WORK IS AT STAKE! HELP US, LORD! WE'RE BEING PERSECUTED FOR THY NAME'S SAKE. YOU SAID, "REJOICE & BE EXCEEDING GLAD, FOR SO PERSECUTED THEY THE PROPHETS WHICH WERE BEFORE YOU!" (MT.5:11,12.)

60. WE MUST BE DOING THE RIGHT THING, LORD, OR WE WOULDN'T BE SO PERSECUTED BY THE DEVIL'S SYSTEM! THE DEVIL WOULDN'T BE SO HORRIBLY ANGRY IF WE WEREN'T ON THE RIGHT TRACK! THANK YOU FOR THAT SCRIPTURE YOU GAVE US ABOUT FFing, LORD, WHEN THE DEVIL TRIED TO TEMPT US & SAY, "WELL, THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT IT ALL ON YOU!" LORD, YOU KNOW WE HAD A LOT OF PERSECUTION & TROUBLE LONG BEFORE WE EVER STARTED FFing! WE HAD TO FLEE & WE HAD PERSECUTION LONG BEFORE THEN, FOR ONE EXCUSE OR ANOTHER. FROM OUR VERY BEGINNING THE DEVIL WAS AFTER US EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY EVERYWHERE WE WENT, EVERYONE OF US. LONG BEFORE WE EVER HEARD OF FFing LORD!

61. WE THANK THEE FOR THE REASSURANCES YOU'VE GIVEN US REGARDING FFing SEVERAL TIMES LATELY, LORD, WHEN WE GOT DISCOURAGED: WE GOT THOSE BEAUTIFUL TESTIMONIES OF SOULS WON, SUICIDES STOPPED‚ LIVES SAVED, MEN WHO'VE BEEN REACHED & CONVERTED & CHANGED WHO COULD NEVER IN THIS WORLD HAVE BEEN REACHED ANY OTHER WAY!

62. OUR ENEMIES SAY, "THESE PEOPLE ARE UNCLEAN!" AGAIN THE DEVIL TRIED TO SAY, "AH‚ SEE WHAT FFing HAS DONE?—NOW YOU'RE UNCLEAN, DIRTY, NOBODY WANTS YOU!" BUT I ASKED YOU LORD, "IS IT WRONG? HAVE WE GONE TOO FAR?"—AND JUST AS CLEAR AS YOU HAVE ALWAYS ANSWERED ME—THANK YOU JESUS! (WEEPS) PRAISE YOU LORD! HALLELUJAH! YOU SAID AS CLEAR AS I EVER HEARD THY VOICE:

63. "NO GREATER LOVE HATH ANY MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS!" (JN.15:13.) WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR GIRLS ARE DOING EVERY DAY & EVERY NIGHT‚ LORD TO TRY TO SAVE OTHERS! THEY'VE HAD TO "STOOP" TO SAVE THEM! HALLELUJAH! TYJ! PYL! THEY RISK THEIR LIVES, THEIR BODIES, THEIR REPUTATIONS, ... EVERYTHING, TO SAVE THESE MEN!

64. NOW LORD, BLESS THEM FOR IT, SAVE THEM LORD! SAVE OUR PRECIOUS [FAMILY], LORD, WHO HAVE SACRIFICED EVERYTHING & HAVE LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR OTHERS, JESUS. THEY'RE YOURS & IT'S YOUR BUSINESS TO TAKE CARE OF THEM!

65. YOU'VE GOT TO, LORD YOU PROMISED! WE HOLD YOU TO IT, LORD & WE KNOW YOU WILL! YOU HAVE "NEVER FAILED IN ONE OF ALL YOUR GOOD PROMISES"! (2PE.1:4.) TYJ! PYL! HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU FOR ALL THY MIRACLES! IT'S A MIRACLE THAT WE'RE HERE TODAY! TYJ! PYL!

66. THANK YOU FOR THE LONG SERIES OF MIRACLES YOU DID TO BRING US THIS FAR! YOU'VE ALWAYS PROVIDED US WITH A PLACE OF REFUGE. TYJ! YOU HAVE SUPPLIED OUR NEEDS & KEPT US, & YOU'VE MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO CONTINUE OUR LABOURS FOR THEE!—AND WE KNOW YOU'LL CONTINUE TO DO IT AS LONG AS YOU SEE FIT, AS LONG AS NECESSARY. TYJ!

67. SO IT'S ALL IN YOUR HANDS, LORD!—THEY'RE IN YOUR HANDS, WE'RE IN YOUR HANDS, THIS HOUSE IS IN THY HANDS, OUR WHOLE FAMILY & THEIR HOUSES ARE IN THY HANDS. THY CHILDREN ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE IN THY HANDS!

68. ALERT THY CHILDREN NOW WORLDWIDE OF THE WAY THINGS ARE TIGHTENING UP & HOW SOME COUNTRIES ARE CLAMPING DOWN, SO THEY CAN AVOID THESE TRAPS SET BY THE ENEMY! HELP US GO UNDERGROUND OR WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO TO KEEP ON GOING FOR THEE—OR TO FLEE. WHATEVER IS NECESSARY.

69. HELP US CONTINUE LIVING & WORKING & PROCLAIMING THY TRUTH IN WHATEVER WAY WE CAN "UNTIL DEATH DO US PART"—HALLELUJAH! TYJ! PYL!—IN JESUS' NAME! THANK YOU LORD FOR THESE PRECIOUS ONES WHO'VE SACRIFICED FOR US & ENDANGERED THEIR OWN SECURITY FOR US & RECEIVED US!

70. YOU PROMISED WHEREVER THEY RECEIVE US THAT THERE YOU'LL LEAVE THY BLESSING. (MT.10:40-42.) SO BLESS THIS HOUSE & BLESS THESE WHO HAVE RECEIVED US. PROTECT THEM, CONTINUE TO SUPPLY OUR NEEDS & HAVE THY WAY, IN JESUS' NAME WE ASK‚ FOR THY GLORY! AMEN, LORD BRING THEM THROUGH IN JESUS' NAME! SPARE THY CHILDREN!

71. WE WANTED TO BRING THEM ALL OUT WITH US BUT WE COULDN'T TAKE TOO MANY PEOPLE AT ONCE.—IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE AN EVACUATION FOR SURE! SO WE HAD TO LEAVE SOME BEHIND SO WE WOULDN'T AROUSE TOO MUCH SUSPICION. BUT NOW HELP THEM GET OUT, LORD & HELP THEM TO GET TO THAT OTHER PLACE, IF IT BE THY WILL. YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEST. SO BLESS & KEEP THEM & BRING THEM THROUGH SAFELY THAT WE MAY BE REUNITED AGAIN IN THY LOVE. IN JESUS' NAME!

72. HELP EACH ONE OF US HERE TO KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO NEXT TO SECURE THIS PLACE & OUR INDIVIDUAL SITUATIONS, & NOT LEAVE A THING UNDONE OR A STONE UNTURNED OR A STRING UNTIED, LORD THAT OUGHT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. SPARE THY WORK AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. IN JESUS' NAME!—AMEN.
