must start off with FASTING AND PRAYER by the whole membership.
Therefore, I am setting Sabbath, June 10th aside as a day of
FASTING AND PRAYER FOR ALL MEMBERS WORLDWIDE! PRAY, as never
before, for NEW LIFE, infused by God's Holy Spirit into His Work.
The fasting from Friday sunset to Sabbath sunset -- June 10th,
(not including children).
One important thing, in connection with this day of FASTING
and prayer. It has been very evident for more than a year that
Satan is striking his MASTER STROKE to try to destroy this Work of
the living Christ. He has cast a PALL of gloom, discouragement and
depression over God's people. Many have felt it. PRAY that God
will restrain and withstand Satan, and fill His people with an
URGENT sense of MISSION, SACRIFICE, HOPE, ENTHUSIASM AND JOY! Pray
for all the other Brethren!
We have nothing to live for but GOD'S WORK. At whatever
sacrifice, we must put God's Work FIRST. WE ourselves are doing
it, and in the office in which the living christ has put us, Ted
and I MUST appeal to you to do the same, and hold up our hands in
this NEW lunge forward. God is opening HUGE NEW DOORS! Please
pray, more than ever before, for God's Work, and especially keep
praying for Garner Ted and me.
With sincere love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
