"This is the Promise of God, which I give unto you. Rise! and

serve the Power of God."

"Putting on the armor of His love, firmly buckling on the shield

of His mighty Covenant, mounted on the steed of steadfastness,

holding aloft the lance of the Word of the Lord of Hosts, and with

unquestioning reliance on His promises as the best provision for their

journey, let them set their faces towards those fields that still remain

unexplored and direct their steps to those goals that are as yet

unattained, assured that He Who has led them to achieve such triumphs, and

to store up such prizes in His Kingdom, will continue to assist

them in enriching their spiritual birthright to a degree that no

finite mind can imagine or human heart perceive." [1]

[1 Messages to the Bahá'í World, page 102]

The following pages shower upon every individual Bahá'í PROMISES of "complete and total victory" wherever you may be teaching.

These magnificent PROMISES come from five separate Sources of Divine Infallibility:

The Báb
Bahá'u'lláh
`Abdu'l-Bahá
SHOGHI EFFENDI
THE UNIVERSAL HOUSE OF JUSTICE

These PROMISES are a flaming torch that can help you "set on fire" the hearts of men and women in every village, town, city, reserve, judicial district and township across the entire face of the North American Continent.

Bahá'u'lláh's mighty spiritual Army is now "mobilizing" on all fronts, preparing to launch an unprecedented and uninterrupted teaching Campaign that will sweep His Cause on to Victory

TARGET: MORE ASSEMBLIES
MORE LOCALITIES
MORE NEW BELIEVERS
MORE PIONEERS
MORE TRAVELLING TEACHERS
MORE SACRIFICE

Each "hero" and "heroine" in Bahá'u'lláh's onward-marching, victorious legions, longs to see but one standard flying in triumph over every Bahá'í Fortress at sundown, April 20, 1979: "ALL GOALS WON!"

Let us ARISE and persevere to the very end. Let us become worthy "warriors" of Bahá'u'lláh until, in the words of our beloved Guardian, weary but triumphant we bring in the harvest.

No hesitation! No delay! No retreat!
Onward to victory!

not hesitate or delay an instant in teaching the

Cause . . . to the soul who is the cause of guidance to

surely none save the institution of the
Mashriqu'l-Adhkar can most adequately
provide the essentials of Baha'i
worship and service, both so vital
to the regeneration of the world."
Page 17
PROMISES OF VICTORY
SHOGHI EFFENDI
PROMISE "The glorious vision now unveiled to
your eyes must never be dimmed. The illuminating

promises enshrined in `Abdu'l-Bahá'í Tablets should

not be forgotten for a moment." (30)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "If one seeks the confirmations of

the Holy Spirit, they can find it in rich abundance in

the Teaching Field . . . and if the Friends will arise with

new determination, fully consecrated to the noble task

ahead of them victory after victory will be won for the

glorious Faith of God." (31)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "If only the friends could realize it,

the glory of our Faith is not that people with unique

abilities do the work of the Cause, but that it is done by

the sacrifice of loving and devoted souls who arise

selflessly to undertake work they feel themselves incompetent,

sometimes, to achieve. God works through

them and endows them with gifts they did not dream

they could ever possess." (32)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "... the all-conquering potency of

the grace of God, Vouchsafed through the Revelation

of Bahá'u'lláh, will, undoubtedly, mysteriously and

surprisingly, enable whosoever arises to champion His

Cause to Will complete and total victory." (33)

* * * * * * * * *
Page 18
PROMISE "Today the need is so great on the

part of humanity to hear of the Divine Message, that

the believers must plunge into the work, wherever and

however they can, heedless of their own shortcomings

(34)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "... have a perfect reliance upon

God; let your heart burn with the desire to serve His

Mission and proclaim His call; and you will observe

how eloquence and the power to change human hearts

will come as a matter of course." (35)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE ". . . when we put our trust in Him,

Bahá'u'lláh solves our problems and opens the way."

(36)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "... we are filled with feelings of

unworthiness and dismay, and would feel truly disheartened

but for the comforting thought that if we

rise to play nobly our part every deficiency in our lives

will be more than compensated by the all-conquering

spirit of His grace and power." (37)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "Bahá'u'lláh and the Master have

both urged us repeatedly to disregard our own handicaps

and lay our whole reliance upon God. He will

come to our help if we only arise and become an active

channel for God's grace." (38)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "The greater your handicaps the

firmer your determination should wax, and the more

abundant will assuredly be the blessings and confirmations

of Bahá'u'lláh." (39)
* * * * * * * * *
Page 19
PROMISE "The Bahá'ís all over the world are
subject sometimes to suffering, along with their

fellow-men. Whatever vicissitudes befall their country,

they will be protected . . . and watched over by Bahá'u'lláh,

and should not fear the future but rather

fear any failure on their wart to carry out the work of

His Cause." (40)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "What is needed to achieve success

in the teaching field is a complete dedication on the

part of the individual, consecration to the glorious task

of spreading the Faith, and the living of the Bahá'í life,

because that creates the magnet for the Holy Spirit,

and it is the Holy Spirit which quickens the new soul.

Thus the individual should be as a reed, through

which the Holy Spirit may flow, to give new life to the

seeking soul." "We give the Message, and explain the

Teachings, but it is the Holy Spirit that quickens and

confirms. (41)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "Entire and selfless devotion is what

is most needful. The brighter our torch burns; the

more light will it give and the more readily will it

impart its blaze to others." (42)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE ". . . it is spirit, determination, faith

and devotion which bring victories into being, one

after another . . . and not luxury and leisure . . ." (43)

* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "The harder you strive to attain

your goal, the greater will be the confirmations of

Bahá'u'lláh..." (44)
* * * * * * * * *
Page 20
PROMISE "But the very act of striving to serve,

however unworthy one may feel, attracts the blessings

of God and enables one to become more fitted for the

task." (45
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "In fact the mere act of arising will

win for you God's help and blessings." (46)

* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "For Bahá'u'lláh has promised His

Divine assistance to everyone who arises with a pure

and detached heart to spread His holy Word. "
(47)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "It should not be overlooked, however,
that the most powerful and effective teaching
medium that has been found so far is the fireside

meeting, because in the fireside meeting, intimate personal

questions can be answered, and the student find
the spirit of the Faith more abundant there."

"In fact this personal, informal, home teaching is

perhaps the most productive of results."

"Individual teaching of this type is more effective

than any other type. The principle of the fireside meeting

. . . has been proven the most effective instrument

for spreading the Faith." (48)
* * * * * * * * *
Page 21
PROMISE "There is no refuge in the world

today except the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh. The believers

must rest assured that, having the Faith, they have

everything. They must place their lives in the Hand of

God, and, confident of His mercy and protection, go

on teaching the Cause and serving it, no matter what

happens." (49)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE . . the great spiritual Revolution
which the Almighty is causing to be accomplished

through us, in the hearts of men is destined to achieve

steadily and surely, the complete regeneration of all

mankind." (50)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "So glorious a vision, now unfolded

before the eyes of the . . . followers of the Faith of

Bahá'u'lláh, cannot but galvanize them into action, at

once swift, resolute and unrelaxing, and fire their

souls with a spirit so consuming as to melt away every

obstacle that may intervene between them and the
achievement of their present goal." (51)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "The firm and irrevocable promise

is given . . . The powers of heaven and earth mysteriously

assist in its execution. Such an opportunity is

irreplaceable. Let the doubter arise and himself verify

the truth of such assertions. To try, to persevere, is to

insure ultimate and complete victory." (52)

warring nations and peoples of the world to wash away the

evils and iniquities of the realm of dust and heal man's

Page 23
PROMISES OF VICTORY
THE UNIVERSAL HOUSE OF JUSTICE
PROMISE "We are not alone nor helpless.

Sustained by our love for each other and given power

through the Administrative Order_so laboriously
erected by our beloved Guardian_the Army of Light

can achieve such victories as will astonish posterity."

(53)
PROMISE ". . . if the Bahá'ís will but do their
part_however unpromising the prospect_Bahá'u'lláh
is able to open doors and change conditions in
ways far beyond our understanding." (54)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "When the friends realize that the

hosts of the Kingdom are waiting to rush forth and

assist them, that others from their own ranks have

arisen and have been successful . . . they will then no

doubt arise with greater confidence to take the first

step, and this, we know, will be aided and guided from

on high, for the very act of striving to respond to God's

call will bring in its wake countless divine blessings."

(55)
* * * * * * * * *

PROMISE ". . . it is the purity of heart, detachment,

uprightness, devotion, and love of the teacher that

attracts the Divine confirmations and enables him,

however ignorant he be in this world's learning, to

win the hearts of his fellowmen to the Cause of
God." (56)
* * * * * * * * *
Page 24
PROMISE "It is now imperative for every Baha'i
to set for himself individual teaching goals. The

admonition of `Abdu'l-Bahá to lead at least one new

soul to the Faith each year and the exhortation of

Shoghi Effendi to hold a Bahá'í fireside in one's home

every Bahá'í month are examples of individual goals.

Many have capacities to do even more, but this alone

will assure final and complete victory for the Plan."(57)

* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "Your aim is the redemption of mankind

from its godlessness, its ignorance, its confusion

and conflict. You will succeed, as those before you

succeeded, by sacrifice to the Cause of God. The deeds

and services required of you now, will shine in the

future, even as those of your spiritual predecessors

shine today and will forever shine in the annals of the

Cause." (58)
* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "Forward then, confident in the
power and protection the Lord of Hosts, Who will,

through storm and trial, toil and jubilee, use His devoted

followers to bring to a despairing humanity the

life-giving waters of His supreme Revelation." (59)

* * * * * * * * *
PROMISE "Let them... rise as one man to
demonstrate their love for Him Who suffered for

them, by such deeds of sacrifice and devotion as shall

outshine the deeds of the past, and sweep away ever

obstacle from the onward march of the Cause of God."

(60)
* * * * * * * * *
Page 25
PROMISE "...we must seize the opportunities

of the hour, and go forward confident that all things

are within His mighty grasp and that, if we but play our

part, total and unconditional victory will inevitably be

ours." (61 )

Beloved friends, fellow Bahá'ís:
To compile all of the wonderful PROMISES of

victory given to us in our Writings would take several

volumes. These have been but one leaf from one tree

of that endless forest of inspiration and encouragement.

The following SPECIAL PROMISES might have

been written today to help us win our goals. They are

alive with confident hope. They deal directly with to-

day's problems and the obstacles each one of us faces in

our teaching work.
1. WHEN THE TASK SEEMS ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE
PROMISE "We can truly say that this Cause
is a cause that enables people to achieve
the impossible." (64)
2. WHEN IT APPEARS THAT A MIRACLE IS
NEEDED TO WIN
PROMISE "They must remember the glorious
history of the Cause, which . . . was established
by dedicated souls who, for the most part, were
neither rich, famous, nor well educated, but
whose devotion, zeal, and self-sacrifice overcame
every obstacle and won miraculous victories for
the Faith of God." (65)
3. WHEN THE APATHY OF THE WORLD
AROUND US STIFLES OUR TEACHING
WORK AND IS DIFFICULT TO COPE WITH
Page 29
PROMISE ". . . The Bahá'í teacher must be
all confidence. Therein lies his strength and the
secret of his success. Though single-handed, and
no matter how great the apathy of the people
around you may be, you should have faith that the
Hosts of the Kingdom are on your side, and that
through their help you are bound to overcome the
forces of darkness that are facing the Cause of

God. Persevere, be happy and confident, therefore."

(66)
4. WHEN THE OBSTACLES SEEM OVERWHELMING
AND THE TASK VIRTUALLY HOPELESS
PROMISE "... dependence upon Him

[Bahá'u'lláh] enables the Bahá'ís to formulate audacious

plans and confidently carry them through

to completion in the face of seemingly insuperable

(67)
PROMISE . . however hopeless the

prospect may seem . . . Bahá'u'lláh will reinforce

them with His Hosts and will open the doors of
victory before them." (68)
Were any people in the world as fortunate as we?
Carrying this mighty arsenal of divine PROMISES

in our hands, let us sweep out into the Teaching Field

and, shoulder to shoulder, arise as never before. Let us

truly become Bahá'u'lláh's "forward marching victorious

battalions!"
Onward then, to victory!

From the Polar Seas to the Gulf of Mexico! Until we

see, at Ridvan 1979, that BANNER flying in triumph:

"ALL GOALS WON!"
Page 30
ONE FINAL PROMISE
The beloved Guardian was so deeply moved and

stirred by one of `Abdu'l-Bahá'í ringing Calls to North

America, that he, himself, cried out to each one of His

soldiers:
"To his valiant combatants on earth, who at times

may feel disheartened, our ever-victorious Commander,

`Abdu'l-Bahá, gives you the following assurance:
'The triumphant Hosts of the Celestial Con-
course, arrayed and marshal led in the Realms
above, stand ready and expectant to assist and
assure victory to that valiant horseman who
with confidence spurs on his charger into the

arena of service . . . He heath achieved a glorious

triumph and obtained the true victory ...'
"With such inspiring words as these, are we to
remain any longer unmoved and inactive? His

trumpet-call resounds on every side, and summons us

to service; are we to tarry and hesitate? His voice is

calling aloud from every land; let us march on, unfettered

and unafraid, and fulfill our glorious Destiny." (69)

With warmest, grateful love to my fellow-warriors,

the "heroes and heroines" of Bahá'u'lláh throughout

the North American Continent. We shall be watching

for you out there on the battle lines, as we rush to join

you.

R - REACH
I - INDIVIDUAL
S - SOULS
E - EVERYWHERE!

"The American Bahá'í community, already responsible,

over such a long period, for such heroic acts, under

such severe handicaps, cannot and will not hesitate or

falter. The past is a witness of their splendid triumphs. The

future will be no less a witness of their final victory." (70)
