Oh My little ones, hold steady now, for though the enemy presses
hard against you, yet it is I who hold tightly to your hand. I am able
and faithful to keep My own, even in the midst of the storm. The time
of testing is not a thing to fear, so long as it is your desire to serve
and honor Me. For truly all must of necessity pass through the purifying
fires. But have I not promised in My Word, "When you pass through the
waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not
overflow you; and when you walk through the fire, you will not be
scorched, nor will the flame burn you. For I am the Lord your God."

My children truly the end of all things is at hand, and you must keep
your eyes upon Me. Let no fear hinder. Let no doubt discourage or alarm
you. Know that it is supreme love and justice which directs My every
move. For I am God, and there is no other! I alone reign supreme! I
would remind you of what is spoken in My Word, "Beloved, do not be
surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your
testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you", and again
"For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if
it begin with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not
obey the gospel of God? And if it is with difficulty that the righteous
is saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner? Therefore,
let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to
a faithful Creator in doing what is right."

My people, I bid ALL of you to come and bow before Me and allow My
Spirit to scrutinize your thoughts, your deeds and words and motives. He
alone is able to judge with righteous judgment. One is not acquitted who
acquits himself, but one is acquitted who is acquitted by God. As Paul
stated in 1 Cor. 4:4, "For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet
I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord."
Allow Me to judge you, and you need not be judged by any man.
