“If, seeing your faithful determination, God takes heart and steps forward to declare, I am going to tear down this evil world. Then, in that instance, His sphere of activity will expand due to your efforts… You should determine to confront any kind of persecution in the course of human history, and even beyond that. This is the path filial sons and daughters who take on the responsibility to represent the history of eternity should take. This is the way of loyalty to the eternal kingdom of heaven.” (255-212, 1994.3.10)
The causal direction matters. God does not move first and ask humans to follow. The picture here is the reverse: God waits on faithful determination, and when He sees it, He gains the standing to act. Human resolve expands God’s sphere of activity.
This sharpens what other notes describe more abstractly. God’s liberation is not an event done to humans but one activated through them. Comforting God’s heart is not only consolation; it gives Him the ground from which to declare action against evil.
The condition is specific — determination to confront any kind of persecution. Not enthusiasm, not belief, not willingness under good conditions. The activation requires resolve that has already accepted persecution as part of the price.
