Don't be satisfied with less than the best

Redefining the laws of nature

Gaining victories

Dearest Family,

1. We've received very inspiring reports and notes from some of you about the terrific victories won during the fast. In our Home and WS units it was also a wonderful time of cleansing and re­dedication. The Lord gave some awesome insight into what happened in the spirit world during that time and the miracles that He won for us, and we hope to get that to you by the time of the Family birthday, God willing.

2. In the meantime, this GN contains some vital counsel from our Husband which is important for you to implement now, in the days immediately following the fast. I wanted to get them in print for you, as they're such helpful follow-up counsel to the Lord's challenge in the "Conviction" GNs, but we weren't going to be able to print them and get them to your Homes before the Feast. So the Lord inspired us with the idea of posting them online for you, as they are relevant to this time period we're going through now.

3. Concerning this time immediately after the fast, the Lord said:

4. Now is a crucial time, for the Family is building new habits. They have been delivered‚ but they must now go on the attack to fill their spiritual houses with good things‚ or else the Enemy will return and try to fill them himself—only this time his hold will be even more secure and more difficult to uproot and cleanse. So they must be instructed in how to be on guard against these attacks.

5. Pan and Bacchus have been set back on their heels‚ the chains of addiction have been broken, and My children have been delivered from the spirit of lethargy and the evil Selvegion, but the power of these evil forces in the spirit world and their attack against the children of David is far from over. They will try again and again, and that is why I instructed My children to ask Me so specifically about their influence‚ so that they could be watchful and wary. If they weren't going to continue to be attacked‚ they could have just asked Me for deliverance and not worried about it further. But that's not how the Enemy works. He will continue to try to pull you down in any way he can. They needed fasting and prayer to claim the initial deliverance, but now they need to be aware of his inroads to keep him from gaining entrance again and to keep their lives free from his influence.

6. Those who have asked Me personally about how the influence of these evil ones entered their lives have a head start. They will be more aware of the spiritual inroads and will make more progress because they will recognize and have the clear choice to not give place to the wiles of the Enemy. Those who haven't asked Me about it are vulnerable because the Enemy will be able to come in without their realizing it‚ because they have not had his influences exposed.

7. This is a very important time for each person in the Family to be seeking Me for their own personal plan of action, how to put the victories that I won for them into practice. Also, each one should continue to ask Me any of the questions from the "Conviction vs. Compromise" series that they didn't have the time to cover before the fast, for through those I will be able to give them the instruction that they need to tide them over until the more complete counsel arrives via the GNs. I will be able to personally shepherd them through this crucial time if they are hungry for it and asking Me, and giving Me the chance to speak to them. This time of yielding to Me and fighting for victories‚ or else letting the Enemy back in, will determine the future and happiness and fruitfulness of each of My precious children. (End of message from Jesus.)

8. (Mama:) As the Lord said in that message, we have more to publish for you which we're compiling from the personal prophecies of our folks in WS, about how to recognize Pan and Bacchus and the evil Selvegion, but in the meantime, our loving Husband wants to be able to shepherd you and help you put your victories into practice. We realize that this is a very busy time of the year because of Christmas witnessing, but if you haven't yet asked the Lord the questions that He gave in the "Conviction vs. Compromise" series, please take the time to do so right away. If you have not been able to catch up on these personal P&P questions, why not try doing some each day during your personal Word and prayer time until you complete the list?

9. If you want to hang on to your victories and be strengthened in the way the Lord knows you need to be, then taking the time to ask Him how those things apply in your life and what you can do to be watchful and aware of the Enemy's inroads is crucial. As I requested in Grapevine 124, please also take the time to ask the Lord what your personal plan of action should be now, in the time immediately after the fast, and how you can continue to make progress and be strengthened in the spirit.

10. In the time leading up to the fast, the Lord was really working in the lives of just about everyone in WS. It has continued since the fast as well, and several of our folks were feeling a bit battle–weary or discouraged, wondering if they didn't really receive the full benefit of the fast since they were still battling so heavily. The Lord inspired me to write them a little letter, and I'll put excerpts of it for you here, as I imagine that many of you probably experienced or are experiencing the same things. After that, I'll share with you some other messages of counsel that our WS folks received before and after the fast in answer to the questions in the "Conviction vs. Compromise" series.

11. I pray this is a blessing to you. The main point is: Continue to ask the Lord for your personal shepherding so that you can continue to grow and be strengthened spiritually, and recognize how the Enemy will try to get back in. Be strong in the Lord and hang on to Him—He never fails!

Mama's Letter to WS

Dear loves,

12. I'm proud of each one of you for responding to the Lord's call to move forward and to leave any wrong influences in your life behind and to become more like Him. I know this isn't easy, and even after our milestone fast and the deliverance He's given to each of us, you're fighting some severe battles. The Enemy is trying to tell some of you that nothing happened and you weren't delivered after all, and so you might as well just stop making any effort because either it didn't happen or you're not going to be able to maintain the victory anyway. These are absolutely lying vanities! You have been delivered; there is no doubt about it! You can make it! And you will make it as long as you just hold on by faith.

13. Don't listen to the Enemy. Listen to what our loving Husband has said to you in all His good promises. You have a choice of who to believe! Why should you believe the Enemy over Jesus?—The One Who has always been faithful to us and always fulfilled His Word. Just believe Jesus, even if you don't feel anything and even if it doesn't look to you like anything has changed. Ours is a life of faith, and it is in believing that we see. But we do see when we believe, even if we may not always see at first. Usually there's a period of time when we have to take things by faith, just knowing that what He has said, He will perform.

14. Also, realize that this fast and this deliverance was just the beginning. Our loving Jesus has broken the chains and has given us the freedom that He has promised through His keys to the Kingdom. He has promised that every chain of addiction and habit of man's nature can be broken by the power of the keys, and when we all claimed these promises at the fast, the miracle was done for us. But the other part that still is waiting to be done is our part of the contract: We must fight to remain clean and pure, and to do the things that He shows us to do—the things that He has shown each of us when we prayed on prayer morning about our follow-up to the fast and what we personally needed to do in order to secure the victories the Lord gave us.

15. The Lord said, "The key is found in seeking Me and continuing to pray and yield and desire the things that will keep you open and desirous in spirit of My highest and best‚ so that I can continue to give you whatever you need. In yourself you are not strong enough to fight these powerful demons, but when you pray a 'whatever it takes' prayer and really mean it, then it becomes My responsibility to keep you free and stirred up in spirit‚ and I will."

16. And the Lord also said, "You should know that the Enemy, even after you are delivered from the spirit of lethargy, will continue to seek to influence you, especially in these Last Days. You won't be able to trust your desires or what your flesh wants to do‚ because it will very often be influenced. But you will always be able to trust Me and My Words to you, as long as you are sincerely hungering and thirsting after My Spirit."

17. The keys are really an absolutely amazing, awesome gift that the Lord has given us. If you don't think you've seen any results in your own life from using these keys, then use them even more than ever before and keep eagerly looking for the results of using them. Please, please‚ don't give up! This is an amazingly powerful gift that we have been given, and as you study the promises the Lord has given us about the keys and as you use them at every opportunity in every area of your life, I guarantee you that you will see monumental results. Many already have and are writing in about the miracles that the Lord is doing through the keys. As long as you desire to go forward and are taking the steps that the Lord is asking you to—even if they are little steps—as long as you're moving forward, the Lord is going to make this gift work for you.

18. So please use it. The keys are the gift that the Lord has given to all of us who have held on and who have continued to desire to serve Him. And it is the power of the keys that will keep us going and help us to make the changes in our lives that all of us want and need to make. So if you are discouraged and feel like it's too much, start calling on the keys left and right to help you in all the areas that you need help in, and the Lord will do it. Just hang on, give Him a chance, and in your patience and faith you will possess the power.

19. I love you so much and am praying fervently for you, that the Lord will give you the desire of your heart, which I know is to keep going with Him and get to the place where you can be strong and do exploits through the power of the keys, and not have to battle continually with all the sins and weights that so easily beset you. Keep going. Memorize the prom­ises of the keys and keep the keys "close to your heart in reverence and humility," and the Lord won't fail to come through for you.

Much love always in our faithful and continually giving Husband, Mama

Concern for Loved Ones

20. (Prayer: ) Jesus, in light of this new "Conviction vs. Compromise" GN series, I've suddenly been hit with worries about my parents and how these Letters will affect them. I don't really know why I'm having these feelings that it's going to be too much for them, as I know that they're both dedicated disciples and want to above all do their best for You. So I wanted to ask if You could please help me understand some of these thoughts and feelings I've been having on this subject. Also‚ just in general with my friends and loved ones on the field—how I should look at it and where my faith should lie.

21. (Jesus speaking: ) This is a wake-up call across the board. No one will remain unaffected by it, for this truly is a stirring of the pot in these Last Days. It is a time of rededication of commitment and obedi­ence to the guidelines of discipleship that I have laid down for My children. The effects of this time of change will be felt far and wide, yet it is the change that is necessary and needed during this time.

22. My love, you are bound to have concerns about your loved ones; that's natural. The Enemy is always trying to slip in his thoughts as to how useless it is to keep trying to move forward, because the obstacles only seem to get more challenging and demanding. He plays on emotions, on the cords of love that tie people's hearts together. This is especially true when you've already taken the stand to give your life fully to Me. You've allowed Me to reshuffle your life completely, to realign what was off track and to help you see how you were straying so that you could likewise find your way home.

23. You've fought to remain in My service, you've countered the lies of the Enemy with My Word, and you've stood up and said yes to My call to fight. You've raised the new weapons I've placed in your hands‚ and you've marched forward into the battles that have surrounded you. Therefore, because you have chosen My side, because your personal commitment has been to stay true to Me, the Enemy will try other means as well. He will try to convince you that maybe I'm asking too much of someone else, that the requirements will weigh too heavily on them, and they won't have what it takes to continue to persevere and fight by My side.

24. How Satan lies! How he seeks to get My children's eyes off the victory that's ahead! This time of commitment, this time that I now choose to strengthen My troops, threatens to be the greatest and most devastating turn of events to his ploys and evil tactics. By letting go of these hindrances, by surrendering yourself wholly to Me and the way in which I am leading, you are grabbing hold of the power I have promised to place in your hands.

25. If the Enemy can't dissuade you, he will go for what is dearest to your heart in order to cause you to doubt and question what I'm asking of you. He's testing your resolve to stay true to your commitment to Me. He's out to get you sidetracked, worrying about how others will fare, or about how daunting the obstacles look for others, because he knows that you won't feel sorry for yourself, but that those you love are your soft spot.

26. This should increase your determination more than anything to defy his evil machinations and lying vanities. I love each of My children dearly and I don't require more of them than I know they can bear. Just as I have helped you to surmount what seemed like near-impossible mountains of difficulty and change, so I will be there to help all of My children.

27. I will not leave My bride comfortless in her hour of need. For even as surely as correction is measured out by My hand, I always soothe it with the reassurance of My love and My belief that change can be made through Me. You must simply stand steadfast in the promises that I have given, that for those who want change, those who are willing to make this commitment in their lives, I will see them through and give them the healing and change of spirit they need.

28. The failures of the past are forgotten in My books, as each one leaves it behind and presses forward to the high calling I require of you now. Within My elite army there is no one who can remain undecided; now is the time for each one to determine whether or not they will be counted in My ranks.

29. Surely some will find the challenge too great for them, but there will be many who will find great joy in this rededication. It will transform their lives, for it will bring down the blessings of My Spirit and love that have been blocked and stopped through disobedi­ence and compromise.

30. You must pray for all of your fellow soldiers, for all need the support and backing to move forward into this new day of commitment and challenge that I have presented you with. The changes will be difficult, the way may seem rough and unconquerable, but with Me and with the power of the keys there is nothing that can stand in the way; no obstacle can prevent you from rising above.

31. Call on the power of the keys for receptive and accepting hearts for all of My children, and you will witness the effect of these prayers. The power of Heaven is activated through the keys on your behalf. Call on them and you will not be disappointed. (End of message from Jesus.)

Don't Be Satisfied with Less Than the Best!

32. (Question:) Have the blessings and privi­leges that You've given me in the Family resulted in my compro­mising in spirit in any area[s] of my life, such as staying true to the standard of the Word that I've been given; reaching out to others in love and endeavoring to obey the Law of Love in every area of my life; being diligent to keep my connection and relationship with You in first place; maintaining the vision of what I'm here for and keeping the missionary spirit in my life and in the work that I do, striving to do my part to help the Family to reach the world with the Words of David and Maria; fighting to keep my thoughts and spirit pure and to reject carnal and worldly mindsets, meeting the requirements for being a dependable and clear channel, and meeting up to the standard of being a strong, sold–out disciple for You?

33. (Jesus speaking:) There are ways you could make so much more of an effort to live in unity with your Home, to live the Law of Love, to love Me intimately, to call on the keys, to intercede in prayer, to live in full and total discipleship‚ but you don't. You don't make a conscious decision to disobey; you merely make a laid–back‚ lethargic decision to settle for less than the best. Why should you accept less? Why should you be okay with not living up to the standards in all areas that I've put forth? You should hate living that way and desire with all your heart to change it.

34. That is a prayer that you should pray—a prayer request that you can use daily—that I will make you unsatisfied with settling for anything less than My best in your life. Pray that I will make you hunger and thirst after living the fullest extent of the standard and to be disgusted with halfway measures and compromises.

35. Compromise is give and take: You take a little of My standard, and you give a little place to the Devil. Compromise is where each side must submit a little to the other and recognize each other's wishes. Do you really want to be the peace broker in such a compromise between Me and the Devil? Do you really want to be saying, "Okay, Jesus, You have a good point there, so You can control these aspects of my life, and I'll put into practice that suggestion You made; but the Devil has some valid opinions too, and I'm gonna have to go with some of his ideas, just to make it all fair and square." Do you really want Me to submit to the Enemy's will and allow him some sway in your life? That's what you do when you compromise, when you settle for less than the best.

36. Consider an empty glass as being like your life. My highest will for your life, the empty glass, is to be filled to the top with New Wine, the water of My Spirit‚ or the elixir of My love. But when you compromise, even if you don't consciously ask to be filled with something other than what I have for you‚ you leave yourself open by not filling yourself to the brim with My liquid. My best would be the top of the cup; but if you limit Me by laziness‚ compromise, not stirring yourself up or whatever reason, you only allow yourself to be half full or three quarters full, but not to the brim. You've essentially told Me, "This far and no further," and thus I do not have the license to fill the rest. So you are an incomplete life, and the rest that I have no permission to touch must be forfeited to the Enemy. You give him place when you don't allow Me to fill every corner and every cup to the brim.

37. Neither give place to the Devil. Despise him, war against him, and cast him out! Don't be so worried about how to drive him out, how to get his liquid out of your cup. Instead, just give Me full license to top you off, to fill you up, to take up all the space, and I will push out the Enemy as the natural course of events.

38. I have first rights to your heart and life as a child of God; the Enemy can only take what you do not allow Me to fill. So instead of being so worried about what not to do and how to prevent the Enemy from coming in, you should focus instead more on Me and what to do. If you keep busy filling yourself with My love, My Water of the Word, My Wine of the Spirit, I will fill you to the brim, and there will be no room for the Enemy's compromises or halfway splits. They will find no entrance. This is My plan for you.

39. Get busy for Me, full of My Word, full of My ideas—and stop holding your damnable peace talks between My side and the Devil's side‚ trying to balance it out and justifying one against the other! I have said very clearly in My Word, "Neither give place to the Devil." Yet you give him place when you justify things in your mind. You justify the compromises you make by pointing at the areas that I control, and you give the Enemy license to fill the rest because you don't allow Me to use it. I'm sick of sharing a table with him and his input!

40. I'm not saying you're possessed by Satan or that he controls your heart; I just don't want to see you compromising and giving him place and the room to work. I do have enough stake in your life and heart that most seeds he plants don't take root because you're faithful to root them out, but I would far prefer it if he was not allowed access to our garden at all. Rather than pulling his weeds, I would rather shut the gate against him and then worry about keeping him out rather than undoing his inside damage.

41. So please, no more compromise! No more give and take! I want it all! I'm a jealous God. You know what I'm talking about. You know the times when you feel that conviction of My Spirit telling you that such a thing is not My highest will, and it's not even My second best, that it's pretty far down there and detrimental to your spirit, but you do it anyway. It's in the things you read, some of the movies you watch, some of the music you've listened to, some of the opinions you've held. It's also in all the things that you don't do. It's in the times you put off loving Me, you skip your Word time, you skip prayer vigil, choosing your own entertainment instead.

42. I've said this already; don't make Me have to continue to chide. Go all-out, go all the way, go 110%! When you pray about things, which you are faithful to do, put My answers into practice; that's the only way.

43. When you bring things before Me such as your movie standard, your Internet use, your work time, your schedule, your dates, your get-outs, your interaction with others in the Home, don't just pray a simple prayer that I will tell you if there is anything that is really wrong with these that I want you to fix, or just a prayer that only asks to root out the very worst in these things. Instead, pray that I will hold you to the highest standard. Don't tell Me to let you off easy—ask for the full standard to be applied in My answers. Don't settle for anything that is just "okay, but not really the best." That's all right to an extent, but it's not the full CM standard. It's not the full discipleship standard.

44. You should want My ultimate. So when you pray about all those various areas, ask Me for My ultimate will. Ask for the CM standard, the full-fledged‚ hardcore, no compromise, no regrets‚ disciple version of My counsel. Milk is for babes‚ small allowances and compromises are for the weak‚ but meat belongs to them that are of full age—to the chosen‚ the ecclesia, the doers of the Word and the followers of the teaching. (End of message from Jesus)

Redefining the Laws of Nature

45. (Question: ) What have I been avoiding stepping out and doing? What new moves of the spirit have I been hesitant to put into action?

46. (Jesus speaking:) Claiming complete deliver­ance from things is something you need to take hold of more and reach out to achieve. You've been taught in the past that some things are born in people in the form of personality traits or character. But the things in you that I want you to overcome need not be a part of your personality. In this day and age, especially when I call you to greater works, you need to recognize the supreme power of My might and strength in helping you do what would seem impossible to normal people.

47. If I will lay aside the normal laws of gravity and physics in order to help you achieve miracles‚ don't you think that I could help you to lay aside the weights of self and sin to achieve My purpose? Believe this, My love, and act on it.

48. When you find yourself having some trait or part of your personality that is not according to My Word or My Law of Love, take an active stand against it—and not just in suppressing it, but in seeking to overcome it completely, getting rid of it, and rooting it out of your heart.

49. This is part of dwelling in the supernatural, which I expect of My children now. These keys I give you are a gift, but they are not for decoration. To use them effectively, you must keep expecting more and more of yourselves and of Me. Expect the impossible, and I will redefine the laws of nature for you, My brides, as you follow in willingness to Me. (End of message from Jesus.)

Gaining Victories

50. (Jesus speaking:) There is nothing that I cannot do for those who call out to Me in desperation and who continue to seek Me for victories in their lives! It is hard for you to understand how this one fast day could make such a major change in your life, how it could be such a "milestone," because it's just one day, and especially because it doesn't seem that your weaknesses are all gone.

51. Let Me explain. On this fast day I heard the prayers of all those who prayed for Me to do "whatever it takes" with all their hearts, and I will answer! I heard many calling upon Me and committing their lives to Me, asking desperately for Me to root out any compromise in their lives, and I will do it.

52. This desperation and calling on the keys, combined with your yieldedness to let Me work in your life, released the power to do miracles that day! I have changed your heart and the hearts of many in My Family. I have done miracles in propelling you forward to greater spiritual strength and commit­ment. All those who got on board and claimed this power partook of the strength and miracle that I poured out on that day!

53. But you wonder why you are still battling some of the same weaknesses you had before. If you called on the keys to change these areas, why are you still being hit with attacks?

54. I have brought many victories in your life, but the Devil is angry. He is fighting to steal your victories. He seeks to discourage you and cause you to doubt that you have gained any ground at all. You must rebuke him and claim My promises! Call on the power of the keys to bind him and send him running.

55. At times I will also allow you to be tested in your weak areas, and even the things that you asked for deliverance from. This is not because I didn't answer your prayers; this is simply how I work. I don't always completely erase the bad habits and problems that you have all at once. I allow you to continue to be tested. I give you choices and let you decide what decisions to make. As your faith and trust in Me that you've gotten the victory continues to be tested‚ this‚ in the long run‚ strengthens you.

56. With some people I do work overnight miracles. If someone has been desperate for years to overcome a bad habit or a weak area and has fought long and hard, and finally asks for united prayer, I sometimes do change them instantly. But I ask many others to fight and be tested. I ask you to keep coming back to Me again and again‚ when you feel that these problems are cropping up in your life all over again. This keeps you desperate and continually draws you closer to Me.

57. I have worked in your heart. Thank you for allowing Me to. I know it is not easy to pray a "whatever it takes" prayer. You worry about the consequences and what I will ask of you. But know that I know what is best for you. I will not give you more than you can bear. I promise that. But I also say that I will continue to challenge you. I will keep bringing about situations in your life that will compel you to move forward and make progress.

58. I want to make you a more refined vessel for My use. Some of that refining is painful, but it is always for your own good. Thank you for being willing to become a vessel fit for My use. I love you and need you. (End of message from Jesus)

59. (Jesus speaking: ) All the Enemy wants is to defeat you. All I want is to save you, to strengthen you‚ to make your life for Me more of a joy, easier, and more fulfilling! Of course the Enemy is going to try to convince you that you won't be able to make it now any more than you could before. He'll try to tell you that if you can't overcome your problems fully and immediately‚ why try to overcome at all.

60. I'll tell you why: Because each step that you take for Me is rewarded with the blessings of obedience! Each time you fight to make the right choice, to sacrifice, to move forward, I can then take two steps for you. The Enemy doesn't want you to be blessed! He doesn't want you to be happier and more at peace, more in unity and more fruitful! So he will try to tell you that little steps don't count, and that if you can't make the giant leap all the way to your goal, don't even bother.

61. My loves, big steps and leaps are good, but it's the steady little steps that get you to the finish line. It's the little decisions of obedience that strengthen your spirit and raise your spiritual defenses. It's the little acts of love that change the world. It's the little sacrifices that make life better for others and bring about the spirit of unity. It's the little times with Me that unite us in spirit and make us a marriage. It's the day by day choices that determine your life. It's the little things that make the kingdom stand!

62. So as you now face the daunting mountain of change, which looms even larger because you haven't been climbing as consistently as you know you should have, don't let the Enemy scare you out of starting the climb. Don't let the heights and the terrain and the storm warnings convince you that I, your Guide, don't know what I'm talking about. I'll tell you why you can climb now, even if you weren't able to before.

  1. This is a time of progress in the spirit. I have sounded the call, and all those who follow will find themselves blessed with supernatural strength to face the tests and rise above the obstacles. This is a time of growth and change. It's time to move forward, and I'm blessing all those who have committed to doing so with extra help from the spirit world to make those changes a reality.
  2. You have the keys of the Kingdom. Even those things which were impossible before are possible now. You have the gift of increased faith to believe Me and then to step out and see the miracles performed that you need. Call on the keys, My loves! They are like the magic wand in the vision of "The Crash" that your father David saw so many years ago. They will pull you up the mountain even when you have no strength to walk by yourself. Stretch out your hand of faith and grab ahold of their power‚ and command it to work on your behalf. As you do your part to obey, I will do the miracles.
  3. You have more instruction in the Word than ever before, and you have My personal voice of prophecy. You have practiced and you have learned, and now you can use it to receive the personalized counsel that you need, step by step. Each day ask Me what to concentrate on that day. Be open, and I will give you what you need. I will be your personal Coach and Trainer, and will help you strengthen your muscles one by one. Study My Word—in the recent Letters I've given you all the keys to victory that are needed. Start to obey, step by step, and see if these words don't work and bring about the results that you seek.

63. My loves, the bottom line is that My Word is true and I will not fail. If you step out to obey Me, I will come through for you. I will not leave you comfort­less. I want you to progress. I need you in My Endtime army. If you're willing to sacrifice and obey, I will do all the rest.

64. Start today! Don't give the Enemy a chance to talk you out of it. Whenever a thought comes to your mind that something won't work‚ recognize that as the Enemy of your soul, who is seeking to hold you back in spirit, and cry out to Me and to the power of the keys for deliverance! Ask Me how I see it‚ and then hold to My promises tenaciously, persistently, reminding yourself over and over of My Words. That's the way to victory‚ My loves—one step at a time, one obedience at a time, one victory over the Enemy at a time. Keep going! You can make it‚ with Me at your side and the keys in your hands.

65. Remember that the more you obey, the more powerful the keys in your hands will become. At first it might not seem like much‚ because maybe they're waiting for you to take the first step of obedience. But as you become more and more of a disciple, living for Me and obeying Me, they will become more and more powerful to you‚ and will work wonders on your behalf. The people who do know their God shall be strong and do exploits! Don't let anyone rob you of that honor, that crown, which is yours through faith. (End of message from Jesus.)

66. (Jesus speaking:) Because this is the new era of greater works‚ and because I have willed you great power in these Last Days, it is possible to change, My loves! It is true that many things you are fighting now and have asked for prayer against are long-standing weaknesses and things you've failed in fighting many times before, no matter how hard you've tried. But I am opening your eyes now, showing you that this battle will not be won so much by those who have the will in them to fight or the strength to fight, but simply by those who cast themselves on Me, who yield to Me fully or ask Me to make them yielded. I do this so that everyone may claim the victory. You do not have to be a giant in faith or a sold-out sample of My Word to claim the victory and make the needed changes in your life. All that is necessary is this one trip to the altar and, casting down your will before Me and accepting no other save My highest for you, rising up again and following My plan to the letter in battle against the foe.

67. Can't you see the ease of this, My loyal brides and faithful soldiers? With this new power I have given you through the keys, great power from the Heavens will be loosed on your behalf. You will have the benefits of help from the spirit world, and of all those who wish to help behind the scenes during the Endtime. They will now rally behind you in spirit, and will be there to help at your beck and call.

68. No matter how far behind you may feel, My love can go the distance. No matter how bad you fail or have failed, I can still reach out and pull you close to My bosom—wiping away the fears and the tears. It is for you to claim, this power and this anointing of yieldedness. Claim it as your own, My love, and see the miracles! (End of message from Jesus.)
