12-3

Do not be surprised by the fiery attacks on your mind. When you struggle to find me and to live in my peace, don't let discouragement set in. you are engaged in massive warfare, spiritually speaking. The evil one abhors your closeness to me, and his demonic underlings are determined to destroy our intimacy. When you find yourself in the chick of battle, call upon my name: "Jesus, help me!" At that instant, the battle becomes mine; your role is simply to trust me as I fight for you.

 

My name, properly used, has unlimited power to bless and protect. At the end of time, every knee will bow (in heaven, on earth, and under the earth) when my name is proclaimed. People who have used "Jesus" as a shoddy swear word will fall down in terror on that awesome day. But all those who have drawn near me through trustingly uttering my name will be filled with inexpressible and glorious joy. This is your great hope as you await my return.

 

不要對對你思想的猛烈攻擊感到驚訝。當你努力尋找我並在我的平安中生活時，不要讓沮喪情緒落下。從屬靈戰爭的角度來看，你正參與一場巨大的戰鬥。惡者憎惡你與我親近，他的邪惡手下決心摧毀我們的親密關係。當你發現自己陷入戰鬥之中時，呼求我的名：“耶穌，幫助我！”就在那一瞬間，戰鬥就成了我的事；你的角色隻是信任我，因為我為你而戰。

 

如果使用得當，我的名有無限的能力來祝福和保護。在時間的盡頭，當我的名被宣告時，（在天上，地上和地下的）萬膝都要跪拜。那一天，將“耶穌”用作輕蔑咒語的人將在恐懼中跌倒。但所有用信心呼喚我的名字而親近我的人將充滿無法言喻且榮耀的喜悅。這是你在等候我再來時的偉大盼望。
