Before me --- the Prince of Peace, the King of glory. Behind me --- a past buried forever. And under me --- the narrow road that leads to life. My walk of faith had overcome every obstacle and every threat of danger and affliction. By faith in Messiah we are "more than conquerors"²²⁸  in every circumstance of life. In Him we overcome every tribulation we may encounter in this world²²⁹. The victory may not be instantaneous victory and repeated battles may be required. But we have strength for all things, because He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world²³⁰. We can face anything through Messiah Who empowers us and is our strength²³¹. He has given us weapons for warfare which are not carnal, but are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. 

The weapons shown me were: childlike trust in G-d; unwavering faith in Yeshua; the power of His blood and cross, and the authority of His Name; the Word of G-d; the Holy Spirit; unity of the faith; love for the brethren; perseverance, love, faith and hope, all of which enable us to make most effectual prayers. We are NOT FATED to wage this warfare alone, but in unison with the brotherhood of believers. Then the gates of hell shall not prevail against us. Instead we shall possess the gate of our enemies²³².

What this vision has shown in regard to my walk of faith is not for me only, but for all who have faith in G-d and follow Yeshua. The saints in heaven and the saints on earth are united through their faith in the Risen Son of G-d, and ALL ARE OVERCOMERS! For with this Word does the Lord close SEVEN times His SEVEN messages to the SEVEN Kehilot: "He who CONQUERS!... CONQUERS!... CONQUERS!" 

We who CONQUER shall inherit the promises set forth by Messiah in those seven exhortations. We who CONQUER shall be the co-heirs with Messiah²³³. But the COWARDLY and the FAITHLESS (the Spirit speaks of apostate saints, NOT of unbelieving sinners) shall be FIRST to be handed over to the Second death, namely the lake that burns with fire and sulphur²³⁴.

Without adversity there is no need for conquering. Without obstacles there is no need for overcoming. Without affliction and tribulation there is no need for emerging victorious. The walk of faith is studded with adversities, obstacles and afflictions. And G-d has provided all of us with the power to conquer in everyone of such trials.

Part of this provision is the heap of Living Stones!

Therefore, dear brother and sister, don't neglect to occupy your proper place assigned to you by the Lord in the Body of Messiah. Don't omit to perform the particular task He has put you in charge of²³⁵. If you do, you have not only failed yourself, but your brethren and your Lord. And He will not hold you guiltless for your faithlessness. For each one of us is ESSENTIAL for the advancement in maturity and growth of the brethren.

Every minute part of our body is indispensable for good health and smooth functioning. Most of us think only of heart and kidney and liver, etc. as truly important. Not so! Even so small a thing as a thyroid, if malfunctioning, can overthrow the whole bodily system. A lack of certain acids, fats or minerals, can lead to a total breakdown. 

So don't despise your place or task!

Should WE neglect or delay to take our place, OTHERS are hindered and might fall short because of our own failure. Should we procrastinate, evade or even refuse to complete our task due to fear or lack of faith, or timidity, woe to us! For the lot of the cowardly is the lake of fire! Should we be too busy and pre-occupied with ourselves, proving faithless in our responsibilities and thereby faithless to the Lord and our brethren, woe to us! For the lot of such faithlessness is the lake of fire!

The Cross of Messiah, the Word of G-d, the Holy Spirit and YOU, my beloved brethren, were the key milestones during my visionary walk of faith. By them I escaped the power of Satan, overcame every obstacle, was freed from every bondage, and reached the path to eternal life and complete freedom in the glorious Presence of the Risen and Ascended Lord.

Have you, dear Living Stones of the brotherhood of faith, taken your place in the petra, the mass or heap of rocks, from which the Lord is building us into a Spiritual House unto our G-d? Or are you sinning against the Lord and the household of G-d by keeping to yourself, not filling the task of your charge? Because of your omission others may never obtain the fullness of salvation intended for them by the Lord.

And THIS would be your guilt before the Lord!

Hence, I pray this vision speak to you. May it inspire you to occupy the place of your divinely assigned charge amid the Living Stones. Until He comes, fight the good fight and run the race with perseverance, that you may obtain the reward of the righteous²³⁶.

"For G-d did not give us a spirit of timidity, of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear, but of power and love and of a calm and well-balanced mind, with discipline²³⁷."
