Admonition to watch and pray because of imminent great danger.
[1] Watch and pray, that ye fall not into temptation: for Satan now walketh about as a fierce lion, seeking to devour all men. He will leave no opportunity unattempted to cool his great vengeance, because now his faithful followers, the ruling Hydra, will be trodden on the head. He will divide nations so that they will strangle each other in heaps, as they already now begin to do; I say especially: begin – because all that has happened up to now is only the beginning of the beginning.
[2] I say, no means will he leave untried to cool his great revenge. He will seize every man at his weakest side and will strangle him and destroy him, if man is even one minute away from Me in his heart. Therefore it is now in full seriousness – life or death! For now everything is to be thwarted in the most powerful way, and what is the devil's is to remain the devil's, and what is Mine is to be Mine forever!
[3] Whoever now has a spark of pride, Satan will kindle this spark to a mountain fire and make a Satan out of such a man. Beware therefore of the smallest spark of arrogant wrath, if you do not want to become devils, for Satan lurks and misses no opportunity.
[4] Therefore be very vigilant and pray that you do not fall into the temptations of the flesh; for if any one falls now, he is lost without salvation. For as true as I am the Lord and your God and Father in Jesus, the anointed One, so true is all that I announce to you here!
[5] So any father having daughters and has within himself a sting of the flesh, truly, truly! Satan shall bring forth out of that sting a fiery sword, and shall make the fathers to be incestuous, and the sons shall lie down with the mothers, and the sisters shall not be safe from the brothers. So also with many the silent sodomitic sin will awaken and animal desecration, so that it will be ten times worse than it was in Sodom and Gomorrah.
[6] Because then the great whore of Babylon is beaten, who had booed in the spirit, therefore such a vengeance of Satan, that all flesh should be corrupted to the deepest ground. But I have now also made My sword very sharp and will wield the greatest judgment over the heads of all wicked people!
[7] Avoid therefore now over-cautiously everything which arise the flesh only slightly. Avoid the wine in which the spirit of fornication dwells. Avoid such places where friendly, charming prostitutes welcome you. Pray always and keep fasting, especially in wine and beer, and do not speak unclean words, otherwise you will not be safe from the temptations of Satan.
[8] You earthly father, I tell you for this and for every time, if you have daughters, love them like Christ, but not like a vain lover, otherwise you will be caught in Satan's net. For even if your spirit recognizes your daughters as daughters, what use is that to you, if your flesh is nevertheless titillated by the flesh of your daughters just as by the flesh of other harlots, and numbs your spirit and awakens in your kidneys the most unfair and damnable desires, which kill you forever?
[9] Believe Me, whoever will not summon up everything in this time to powerfully meet the released Satan in My name, he will be lost, even if he had already read and written a thousand books of the most living word. For neither reading nor writing is of any use, but only doing – just as someone similarly would have read and copied even ten thousand of the best piano schools, but if he does not practice and study them with his fingers on a piano – say, will he be able to play even one bar of a piece of music on it?
[10] Now be overjoyed in Me, as I also am overjoyed in you, so you will soon have the most wonderful cause to rejoice exceedingly as My pure children in a best future still temporally, like
then also eternally! Seek also with some caution to win several disciples for My kingdom; that will bring you much blessing. But seek first to knock with My name. If they say "Come in", continue. But where the entry is denied, or only the shouders gets shrugged, leave the building and go on.
[11] But also beware of avarice, envy, faint-heartedness, anger, and even wrath; for as already said at the very beginning, Satan will not let pass any opportunity, not even the slightest opportunity, to penetrate into man and destroy him.
[12] But also the women and girls are now to join Me with great earnest, otherwise they will suffer all kinds of most violent shipwrecks. Satan has now also launched legions of carnally impure spirits, which will want to do nothing more eagerly than to go into the bellies of the women and girls and then plague them in the most miserable way. What soon breaking out epidemics will not kill, that will be either secretly or probably also obviously plagued by this brood. Therefore, especially the girls are to withdraw into the rooms soon after (sunset) and pray to Me there, so they will be protected from all plagues.
[13] Now practice this for at least half a year sternly, then you will be freed from everything and the greatest evil and remain. Amen. I say this as your most loving and patient Father, who wants to preserve you eternally and never destroy you. Amen, Amen, Amen.
