Children, there is a realm where there is nothing but victory and glory and power. And I tell you assuredly, that the forces of darkness cannot stand against the forces of light. And it just depends upon which charger you are going to get on. Which steed will you ride? Will you ride the charger of doubt and defeat and depression? Will you wring your hands in the lower atmospheres and wonder, “Oh God, what is going on?” Or will you mount up on the horse of the Holy Spirit and will you ride against the powers of Islam? Will you ride against the force of darkness? Will you ride with the armies of light against the armies of darkness? This is indeed a clash between two forces on this earth: Islam and Christianity. That is the clash that is going on behind the scenes.

And the enemy has lifted his head and said, “I will have my way with this people. I will eat them alive now; they shall be my lunch; they shall be my supposition for my existence. But I tell you, I have intervened. They will not have their way. They shall not devour my people. They shall not take that which does not belong unto them; for when a river overflows its bank it must recede and there will be a recession of demonic forces. Pressure will be applied; forces will go forward but know that the army of light is victorious in all of its power.

So, come up and ride with the armies of God and fear not this mortal body. Fear not even the loosing of your life. What is the loosing of your life but the gaining of heavenly entrance to eternity and to the kingdom of God. Hold not so tightly to your mortal existence, children. But know that you have a home in heaven, you have a Father who loves you, you have a Christ who will stand as you enter the gates of Heaven even as he stood for Stephen’s entrance. Those that die in the army of the Lord are received into Heaven as martyrs of God. Fear not, saith the Lord.

This is the true army of martyrs. This is the true army of God. And the proof of the fact is that there is gentleness, tenderness, meekness in Christianity. People are not converted at the point of a sword. People are not slaughtered if they will not receive Christ. Know the goodness of God. Know the army of God. Know that you are on the winning side.

Fear not them that can kill the body but fear Him who has power over your soul. Fear the Lord, serve the Lord and rejoice in the Lord. It is your strength to rejoice; it is your strength to rejoice. The enemy would suppress your joy; the enemy would come upon you with worry and fear. Fear not, saith the Lord, even if this world ends in fire. What is that to you? You immortal soul cannot be touched.

So rejoice in the Lord and again I say, rejoice in the Lord. Do not let the events that happen upon this planet suppress the joy that you have in your salvation. The enemy would even try to steal the joy of salvation from the Christians for he would rob them of one of their greatest strengths and weapons – their rejoicing in God, their knowledge of God. So make it a point children to rejoice in the Lord and again I say rejoice.
