Its numbers are growing, as is the faithfulness of its faithful members. It has never been better organized or equipped to perform its divine mission.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"c0jtm-0-0\">&#8220;I testify that as the forces of evil increase under Lucifer\u2019s leadership and as the forces of good increase under the leadership of Jesus Christ, there will be growing battles between the two until the final confrontation. As the issues become clearer and more obvious, all mankind will eventually be required to align themselves either for the kingdom of God or for the kingdom of the devil. As these conflicts rage, either secretly or openly, the righteous will be tested. God\u2019s wrath will soon shake the nations of the earth and will be poured out on the wicked without measure.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div data-offset-key=\"c0jtm-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"5so5j\" data-offset-key=\"840kb-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"840kb-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"840kb-0-0\">\u2014 Ezra Taft Benson, &#8220;I Testify&#8221;, General Conference, Oct 1988<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"5so5j\" data-offset-key=\"bo3ko-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"bo3ko-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"bo3ko-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"5so5j\" data-offset-key=\"7jhu0-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"7jhu0-0-0\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/generaconference\/1988\/10\/i-testify?lang=eng\">I Testify\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"7jhu0-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I testify that wickedness is rapidly expanding in every segment of our society.
