THEM to the fact they are not as close to GOD as they should be.
It has spurred them on to greater effort, sacrifice, and more
earnest prayer. Brethren, WE HAVE NEEDED A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING!
The one most important thing in our lives is this precious WORK OF
GOD! Let's put our whole hearts into it!!
This shows us that we need to PRAY, most earnestly, for
those of God's called and chosen ministers in the top positions of
responsibility and authority. We need to pray for MORE than just
the protection of asking God to send angels to guard us. We need
to pray earnestly that God will RESTRAIN SATAN AND HIS ORGANIZATION
OF DEMONS FROM STRIKING AT US. Satan would strike at me,
personally, and take my life from this work--if God allows! Next,
he would strike at my other son, Garner Ted. For the sake of God's
work, I need you to PRAY CONSTANTLY FOR ME, PERSONALLY--and for
GARNER TED--and for other leaders such as Herman L. Hoeh, Roderick
C. Meredith, Dr C. Paul Meredith, Raymond C. Cole, Norman Smith,
Raymond McNair and others. PRAY FOR ALL OF GOD'S MINISTERS!!
Satan is very angry because God has granted us the BIGGEST HARVEST
this year of any year in history. Don't think for a second that
nothing could happen to me, or any of us who are leaders in God's
work!! Next to myself, there has been NO other minister more
valuable to this work than Dick Armstrong--and Satan struck at him.
Why God allowed it, we don't fully know yet--except to WAKE US UP,
and send us all to our knees, and to make us realize we have NO
protection, except from GOD--and if we become careless and
lukewarm, we shall not have that! Let us lift our voices to God
UNITEDLY to restrain the hand of Satan, and protect His servants!!
Let us be aroused to SUPPORTING God's work more generously. GOD
BLESS YOU!!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
