68 The Main Goal of God’s Work of Conquest
I
The main goal of the work of conquest
is to cleanse humanity so that man can possess the truth,
for man knows too little of the truth!
To do the work of conquest on such people
is of the deepest significance, the deepest significance.
You’ve all fallen under the dark influence
and have been deeply harmed.
The goal of this work is to enable you to know human nature
and thereby live out the truth.
If you can escape these dark influences
and divorce yourself from those unclean things,
if you can become holy, then you will possess the truth.
It is not that your nature has changed,
but only that you can practice the truth and rebel against the flesh.
This is that quality possessed by those who have been cleansed,
by those who have been cleansed.
Only those who possess the truth and who live out the truth
can be completely gained by God.
That is, those who live out Peter’s image are the perfected,
while all others are the conquered.
II
The work done on all those conquered consists of the laying of curses,
chastising, and the showing of wrath;
what comes to them is righteousness and curses.
To work on such a person is to
expose without ceremony or politeness—
to expose the corrupt disposition inside them
so that they recognize it for themselves and are fully convinced.
Once man becomes fully submissive, the work of conquest ends.
Even if most people still do not seek to understand the truth,
the conquest work will have ended,
the conquest work will have ended.
