I

The church is under construction,

and Satan is trying its utmost to demolish it.

It wants to demolish God's construction by any means possible;

for this reason, the church must be purified quickly.

Not the slightest dregs of evil must remain;

the church must be purified such that it becomes flawless

and continues to be as pure as in the past.

You must be awake and waiting at all times, and you must pray before God more.

You must see through the various plots and cunning schemes of Satan,

recognize the spirits, know people,

and be able to discern all kinds of people, events, and things;

you must eat and drink more of God's words and,

more importantly, be able to eat and drink them by yourselves.

Equip yourselves with all of the truth,

and come before God, come before God so that He may open your spiritual eyes

and allow you to see all the mysteries that lie within the spirit….

When the church enters its construction phase, the saints march to battle.

Satan's various hideous features are set before you:

Do you stop and edge backward,

or do you stand up and, relying upon God, continue to move forward?

Thoroughly expose Satan's corrupt and ugly features,

spare no feelings, and show no mercy!

Fight Satan to the death!

God is your backup, and you must have the spirit of the male child!

Satan is lashing out in its final death throes,

but it will still be unable to escape God's judgment.

Satan is beneath God's feet

and it's also being trodden under your own feet—this is a fact!

Satan is beneath God's feet

and it's also being trodden under your own feet—this is a fact!
