356 Offer up Your Whole Being to God’s Work
I
Now is the time when My Spirit performs great work, and the time when I commence My work among the Gentile nations. More than that, it is the time when I classify all created beings, putting each one into their respective category, so that My work may proceed more swiftly and is more capable of achieving results. And so, what I ask of you is still that you offer up your whole being to all My work, and, even more so, that you clearly discern and see with accuracy all the work I have done in you, and expend all your effort on My work so it can achieve greater results. This is what you must understand.
II
Desist from fighting amongst yourselves, looking for a way out, or seeking comfort for your flesh, so as to avoid delaying My work, and delaying your wonderful future. Far from protecting you, doing so could only bring destruction upon you. Wouldn’t this be foolish of you? That which you greedily enjoy today is the very thing that is ruining your future, whereas the pain you endure today is the very thing that is protecting you.
III
You must be clearly aware of these things, so as to avoid falling prey to temptations from which you will be hard put to extricate yourself, and to evade blundering into the dense fog and being unable to find the sun. When the dense fog clears, you will find yourself amid the judgment of the great day.
