When the Lord comes, those who have died in Christ will be resurrected, and you will be able to proclaim: “When you come in his second coming, those who have died in Christ will be resurrected, according to your promise. I will resurrect, because I am of Christ and I want to keep it that way. I don’t want to disown him. I don’t want to get away from the Lord for the world. I want to end my days on this earth being of Christ Jesus. I have this certainty: die and resurrect in Christ. Do not remain in death when the second coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which is next. I will resurrect, we will resurrect! “.
For now, we’re still being tormented, from all sides, by the presence of the evil one, but the time will come when we will be liberated from its bondage. Especially our generation, so overwhelmed, will experience the joy of liberation. We believe that the problems that surround us are common in human life, but it’s not true; our generation has been terribly oppressed by the enemy’s yoke.
Drugs, alcoholism and depravity, attitudes that ravage our society, are not normal things, but results of tremendous evil oppression that wants to destroy our generation.
The terrible injustices, hunger, misery and, as a consequence, diseases and death of innocent children are not simply a result of human evil. The thousands of abortions, the corruption that has become a worldwide epidemic, are signs that the Prince of this world is who reigns.
If the demons attack us and oppress us, the angels of God are there to be our protectors. The brave warriors of the Lord must count on the presence and the concrete action of these fighters out of the Heaven. Fighting spirit with spirit. The angel of the Lord fights and conquers the fallen angel. This is a fight between them, and it is not ours. Our struggle is different. However, we can contribute to this spiritual battle, with our firm and constant intercessory prayer, through which we are fighters.
Your brother,
