(Question: Lord I want to be a voice for you, if and when I should. I like to testify of the power of the Keys, but since those of my family that I live with have questions that they are from the questionable darkside, then to see me using them makes them worry that I’m not clean spiritually, and then they think it’s their duty to set me straight, etc. It’s either of God or it isn’t. And so their not using them has to be explained that they think they are wrong. I don’t want them to keep thinking I am dabbling in questionable waters. So do I keep silent, for their “conscience” sake, or do I keep declaring? I don’t care either way. Just let me know the way to play this unusual part of the game. Ecc. 3. What is it time for? What is best for the war?)

 (Jesus speaking: ) Did not I say your foes would be your family? Does not scripture teach “a brother is born for adversity”. Foes don’t always have fierce looking faces, saying and doing hurtful things. But simply as I put it, “He that is not for Me is against Me” and “he that gathereth not, scattereth abroad”.
So the fact that you not only get no support, morally, but you are spoken against in some way, or what you believe in is, this gives you opposition. And that is good. It’s good for your faith, for your strength and will, and it’s good for Me too. Why? Because I get to see your heart more clearly, and know what to pick and choose in your future. It’s a testing ground and this is helpful for a lot of things.
So praise Me for it. Yes! All things come of God, the good, the bad, the ugly—but these shall change in the new regime.
If it’s not one thing, it’s going to be another, because resistance is part of the game plan right now. So you could hold off on claiming the keys around them or never mentioning these, but then something else will try you. You’ve seen that before, with simply a Bible passage mentioned, that didn’t lead for a pleasant conversation.
So I won’t say, “keep silent” nor will I say “bore with your weapons those near to you” purposely testing them. This tests them too. But you have delivered your soul, and there is little more you can do. But if and when something pops up, which is bound to happen as you keep taking steps according to your faith, then don’t be all down on yourself, like you committed some crime of disunity. You are past the stage of unity. It’s a new era in your little environment. Each one is exploring their faith, and resistance will be felt. It’s not your fault, but My doing really. I’m trying, testing, to see what each of you will do, what you will believe, what you will hold to, and where we can go from here. 
Don’t wish to get out of the fire, just because it’s hot. Stay put and burn for Me. If that means being in pain for the losses of family and friends—since you have none but they—then so be it. Hold fast to what I called you to do. “What is that to thee, follow thou Me.” 
If I allow them to veer away from the same path that you are on, so that you all can be tested in new ways, then don’t think you are better, and they are worse. For these thoughts are counter-productive, and then real hurts, the kinds that shouldn’t occur, can be felt. You have to see Me in all things. They simply can’t help being in the stage of faith they are in, for I am orchestrating it for a purpose past your finding out.
Now if this hurts you, that I would allow things to trouble you and take people away from walking closely with you, then we’ll need to get to know each other all over again, for you have forgotten some important things about the nature of God. Testing and trying and making things hot to try the faith of My children is one of the things I do. It’s not odd. “Think it not strange.”
No, I didn’t put you here to watch sunsets and count stars, and just pick flowers. 
“Here is your weapon. That is your battlefield. Now run, before I make you sorry you lingered!” is more the call I’ll give. If you can’t take that, and you melt like an ice cube on the sun-baked pavement, then you are missing the point for being here. 
Like that quote says, it’s a battleground, not a playground. 
You wanted to feel like it is the “in thing” and have group support, right? “Now let’s all march TOGETHER to the battlefield.”—Like it’s a holiday field trip. You wanted them to be with you, as you were hoping they would shield you from some of the enemy’s fire. 
But if I asked you to march somewhere, seemingly alone, leaving family and friends, in order to fight a certain battle, then so be it. I’ve got you covered.
The time for trying to convince them and cajole them is past. Stop trying to pull them along. If the purpose for trying to tell them of the victories of the keys is to “witness” to them, then stop. Because now it’s full throttle time; full gear ahead. The wounds you get trying to do it, on purpose, takes your time. Time that should be spent on gaining new territory. In your heart you know if and when you are trying to tug them along. 
And just as you can’t say just anything to anybody, or they won’t understand, or it will make a bad reaction and hinder your usefulness, so it is now with these. Painful, but how can two walk together, talk together, unless they be agreed? 
Live in love, but also in freedom to walk, each one, according to your faith. And stop worrying about how imperfect it all feels. Yes, it’s a battle. And nearly nothing will feel good and seem proper about it. Only the victory at the end.
