Preparation II
Review:
1) Three feasts framework
for Israel
to stay clean.
2) Living the Word daily
is the greatest preparation for us.
3) Jesus Christ prepared
his whole life for one year of public service.
4) KUN - to make
provisions
5) The Word is designed to be taught.
We will make the Biblical
Principles of the Believer's Family available to the Corps during Nov/Dec in
the USA and Canada.
This will:
1) Help our people in
their lives
2) Help them solve
problems they are dealing with on the field.
Prayer for H. Allen's
grandson.
Grad Advanced Class:
October 21-30 available for Advanced Class standing grads to volunteer and
contribute. [Indiana
Campus]
You cannot lead God's
people impulsively. It takes constant preparation.
It's a walk.
R.W. Blackwood said in a book he wrote, "The surest proof of mental acumen
is the ability to solve each problem as it arises." It's all preparation.
If there was an accidental death, God provided for that with cities of refuge.
Protection was available.
Stockpiling problems: Most people stockpile their problems. If people refuse to
deal with their problems on a daily basis, they are opening up to the
adversaries realm--spirit infestation.
LOAB -- where you
continue to do wrong, it will always be spirit influenced. It's hard
heartedness. You can't carry the name of Way Corps if you can't live up to the
standards. At times we are not cognizant of certain things until someone brings
it to our attention. Not talking about that. Those that refuse to deal with
those habits. Deal with things on a 24 hr basis maximum. The faster you move,
the quicker you want to solve these things. It is a terrible habit--it is
slothfulness when people refuse to do something about it.
There are many that do their best. We just continue to learn. The next step is
very clear. If you cannot handle your personal life on a daily basis, how can
you take care of God's people--you're just a dufus with a title. That cannot be
Corps. If someone is living the Word, it should be obvious. All the rest is a
bunch of excuses.
Excuse free environment--the greatest one should be your brain; then your home,
family; then you've got something to lead people with. If the physician of
souls [minister] is to be an expert in sizing up each situation; heal hearts,
he has to know how to think, and that with precision. It requires thinking in
detail.
ENCOURAGE SPECIFIC,
PRECISE THINKING
When you work with people, learn what they like and what they don't like.
Thinking in Detail:
Clothes: Iron in detail. Units--dress clothes. I put them in my closet in a
unit. I check on my stuff. I just do it. The shirts were not put back where I
put it. I showed her. Drive yourself to think in detail. The first key to
believing is to get clear and concerned. It's got to become a habit. Shorts and
t-shirt. --tags. Checked back. I enjoy checking on my stuff. I keep track of my
stuff. Learned it from VPW. He was always checking up on his stuff. Dress
hanger; dress pants. Have clothes put on nicer hangers. Never put a suit coat
on a wire hanger. Bush league. [Daisy May--Lil' abner's chick, dumber than a
post.]Dress pants- hanger--should have checked out before you got there. If
you're preparing to take care of somebody, you've got to put yourself in their
shoes.
Dorothy Grace--"Mel doll's hat. Found it. Hadn't seen it for so
long." It was on her mind to find that. Told her that was wonderful that
she found it. I like to encourage specific, precise thinking.
Air conditioning unit--took it out of his window. Hot in the room. October in Indiana, you can still
freeze your buns off. Pay attention to precise thinking.
Most of what we lack is common sense. I'm not trying to be demanding; I can
disappear for hours.
Preparing a room: Hangers to work; toilet; showers; soap; shampoo. Sometime
people spend so much time on the periphery. Put yourself in the guys shoes to
find out what they really need to function. What would help this individual to
help? Make notes for yourself; don't rely on your memory. Aides--help us. LCM
teaches them. Does the toilet work properly--flush, water keep running; check
TV; does it work [colors]; cable; Prethink. Spend time sitting in a room and
thinking. Sit there and think; write it down.
I can live with anything. The point is that somebody hasn't been thinking
right. Service is an art and it requires discipline; putting yourself in the
shoes of the other.
Advanced Class Setup: I had the desk raised, so LCM could see everyone. I gave
them time to reset things. This is a training center. Those are the kind of
details that you are going to master. If you do these things [backup shampoo;
canister; paper; etc.]. Prepare backup shampoo. Prethink these things. Put it
where I can see it so I knows it is there. If you can master those kind of
things, then you can see things you need to see.
It all translates. It is all disciplined habits. To ignore those kind of
details is certain defeat.
Clean up. I don't leave my stuff laying around. I don't like things out of
order. I call it being a believer; disciple; keeping things decent and in
order. If soiled clothes; rehang; keep it in order. You engender certain clutter
by working; consistently clean it up. Can teach a whole class on that suite
over there.
Dr. Blackwood- "A [minister] must have brain power and use it all for the
glory of God." That will come up again in these records.
"My sympathy goes
out to young men of promise who have entered the greatest work in the world
with little concern about the mundane matters that occupy their waking hours."
I don't call checking the showerhead mundane. I get excited about the little
details in life. You gotta enjoy the discipline of the quest. "The work of
preparation has enlisted my heart."
Yet so many people think
to be a spiritual person means you walk around without a clue.
True education is preparation for living; not a means for making money. The
motive of most people in the fields of higher education is that of a grub worm.
Barely above animal stage if not worse when spirit gets involved.
Investments: World's opinions on wealth. Investment and stockbroking field will
be intrigued about his comments at the SNS 1762.
Something I've thought
about for years. What do we do with extra money we have? WHAT is the Christian
solution? It is not spending it all [not ethical]. One reason we had an open
door to speak about the stock market was because we have pulled all our stuff
out of speculative prospects.
** The greatest investment plan is plurality giving because God guarantees the
dividends (Ephesians 3:20).
At times, people want to
invest the extra money they have. Basically 99% of the people that invest in
something is purely to make money.
I'm to do my best to give
God's people an opportunity to walk in alignment and harmony. Obey with your
whole heart; do it full speed.
We will make about
$200,000.00 less next year with where we have invested. Believing is fully
persuaded. I can control my mindset to stay committed to something that I
believe in.
If you want to get
completely honest, the greatest investment is abundant sharing. The reason God
could open the door for us to teach it that boldly is because we have put our
money where our mouth is. It will take off the hundreds of man hours for our
people.
Invest in local
companies: Stock market generally is wrong. If there's a company that you
believe in and make an investment, that's OK. Generally better to invest in
local companies and State. Put thinking into this. Not just money motive. I
don't care what the world does. I'm responsible to take care of God's people as
a minister.
Half the companies are
Japanese. Have you really thought through how far it goes; who is supported?
I'm going to answer to
God for every penny I've stewarded.
Stay out of debt: It requires thinking; precise thinking. You get handed habits
that your parents had. Base greed usually runs the stock market.
No different with the
Lottery; gambling, etc. My concern now is, "are you staying out of debt?,
or letting your bad habits get you right back into it? There is disciplined,
concentrated effort involved. Where is it coming from and how is going? Learn
to grit your teeth and not buy things you cannot afford and don't need to live.
It was a privilege that
God opened the door for me to teach that. It is God's call to get honest deeper
than you've considered it.
I thought through sound
logic. Local, at the most state-wide situations. Businesses that help our
ministry too. I didn't just criticize and yell. I confronted the logic. Gave
them ways to think it through. Other things they could do. The key is a motive
of heart.
Work: They call them investments; that means you believe in something. The
other motive is that you make so much money that you don't have to work
anymore. Where do you get that? They call that the American Dream. How many
scriptures does that contradict? How can you teach your children about the joy
of work; the details? If you don't work; you shouldn't eat. Think. Get your
life on solid footing. Cause the world will whisk you away with its rapids.
Many of our Corps have gotten there. $2,000,000.00 in debt. It they go back to
that kind of living, they should be dropped. It should be normal to live debt
free; normal to have no greed motivated attitudes.
Watchman Nee--"The
Normal Christian Life"--seated in the heavenlies; God's call to abundance.
Getting your motives of heart clean and on the Book.
We in the Corps should have the time to think about these things. Make sure
your life is on the Word. Now God can back your ministry up. Take heed unto
thyself and unto the doctrine. (I Tim 4:16) Get on it. it's your job.
Our people may be shocked, but they will be blessed to think it through. It's
always exciting to get control of your life. "Something rotten in Denmark"
from Hamlet--where his family is from.
Background on Homos in history: "By the Way" article by VPW. Sept 24,
1982 [Week before LCM installed]. Tremendous on the homo thing. Historical
reference on the Romans in their history. Good stuff to know.
Letter from a Corps:
tattoo on their brain--the stain is there--uncleanness II Pe 2:10. It is a
dying; hence pollution, stain, tint in a moral sense.
More on Preparation: Exodus: Adversary works the hardest to beat you in the
preparation stages.
Ex 16:4:
Then said the LORD unto
Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go
out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will
walk in my law, or no.
This is a great key to live abundantly--a certain rate. Prepare yourself to
live precisely. Talk about hangers and showers. Steward and utilize. Jesus
collected the baskets after he fed the multitudes. Know where your things are--otherwise
get rid of it. If there's not a logical basis of utilizing something, get rid
of it. Once I know it, I want to teach it. God can entrust me with a certain
rate. Applies to all categories.
Exodus 16:4,5,8:
5] And it shall come to
pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare [that] which they bring in; and
it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
8] And Moses said, [This
shall be], when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the
morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye
murmur against him: and what [are] we? your murmurings [are] not against us,
but against the LORD.
If you have stuff, use it. VPW--if he couldn't use it, he would get rid of it.
Way Productions--sold musical equipment that we weren't using. We know what we
have.
Maintenance/work requests: From the ROA we have 1,100 work requests.
In-residence Corps in maintenance. We considered one night per week for the
next four months--have the Staff fix stuff. There is no reason to build
anything new until we take care of what we've got. Keep it nice, clean,
practical, functional. Any jack off can build something and leave it--any two
bit entrepreneur. Why should God teach you more if you don't teach what you
know now?
Cop out paintings: We cleaned up the OSC; now we're ready to attack the dorm.
Parents: Get on top of the children you have. Raise them right.
Certain rate:
"Certain rate" applies to every category. If they took too much, it
would rot and stink. Pierced through by many sorrows. You don't want more money
than you can control. It will drive you nuts. If you can control it, then He
can entrust you with it. You can oversee more when you prove that you can take
care of something. New Safety vehicle.
Ex 23:20-23:
20 Behold, I send an
Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place
which I HAVE PREPARED.
21 Beware of him, and
obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions:
for my name [is] in him.
22 But if thou shalt
indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto
thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries [Figure of speech. The
key is to obey and do.].
23 For mine Angel shall
go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the
Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut
them off. [We have Christ in us--greater than the angels. Jesus Christ is above
the angels.]
Ephesians tells us we are
far above all principalities and might and dominion. We need to look at Jesus
Christ--especially us Corps. Look at the priorities of his thinking. He had a
secular profession as a backup. Look at the discipline of his life and soul.
Here six categories of unbelievers. There is no category of human civilization
that ever needs to beat us on the Word: economically, militarily,
intellectually, in the media [gives me comfort]--any phase. God will be an
enemy unto our enemies.
The intellectuals attacked Dr. Wierwille's degree and academic background. They
tried to bring it to a bad light.
:24 The key is that you cannot be enticed by the forms of spirit worship.
Recognize the form for what it is, then you can teach your people. An idol is a
clear form: Mary, Baal. You cannot be enticed by the form, or the reality
behind it will jump you.
Form: Advanced Class retemory: I Cor 12:1 Carried away unto dumb idols. The
form entices people. That which is in concretion entices people then the
reality [the devil spirit] jumps them. Every idol has a devil spirit associated
with it. The Lottery has a devil spirit associated with it. The homo culture is
being portrayed today as the most sensible, logical, etc. That is a form.
That's why God said, Don't bow down to their idols. There were to be no reminders
of those spirits.
In some situations, they would take women and children as servants; in others, Israel was told
to kill all the animals, people, children etc. There were spirits associated
with them.
Last week, when we talked about the dead bodies that had to be avoided, one of
the benefits was the protection from the physical aspects or a dead body. It
can be equated with our old man nature--like a dead body.
Letter read: Germs associated with the dead--Louis Pasteur.
Moses commanded the people to wash. There were cleansing periods of 7 and 3
days. A clean believer had to help them. Egypt had many rituals concerning
the dead--even buried their servants with them. God made it inconvenient to
become deeply involved with the rituals surrounding death.
Isa 8: Discipleship. Seek not out them that peep and mutter. There is a
cultural listing of where those spirits hang out in our day and time. It was
the finest summation: 10 or 11 of them. He broke it down and showed people
where to look for it. People get deeply involved with spiritualism out of
boredom. God's Word says "seek not". In our day, we have to recognize
those things for what they are so we can warn people.
Funerals: are traumatic for the family. There should be no ritual with the
corpse. If at all possible, have a closed casket ceremony. It can be crushing
for an individual to have the last image of a dead person--death is an enemy.
The impression of that is anything but pleasant. It is counter-productive
generally speaking. [comment on 05/22/99 - Way Clergy will no longer perform
funeral services (recognition services) if there is to be an open casket]
At times you do it
because people want it done. When I did my grandma's recognition service, I did
not look at the corpse. I couldn't do anything about the open casket stuff, so
I didn't. Paul even baptized someone because they wanted to be baptized so bad.
They were zealous for the law. The spiritual ramifications beyond death
rituals--shenanigans that people go through.
A form is something for people to attach to. They can be subtle: i.e. the
enticement of quick wealth--luxuries and leisures--this is an idol. Spirits
that associate with it do the enticing. In the Old Testament, they wiped out
animals--animals used to be worshipped. Those six nations listed were totally
worthless.
It took a clean, non-involved healthy individual to look in on them to see if
they were OK. It was like counselling to protect them from spiritual problems.
Death is an orchestrated attack against an entire family. People can become
despondent and susceptible--i.e. to a charming spirit. When someone dies--after
the memorial service, go back after everyone's gone and check on the person.
Follow up after a death: My first assignment in Oklahoma, we had a friend of the family who
I went and ministered to. She later fell asleep. After the hubbub, about a week
later, I drove back to the town to follow up. The husband was so blessed that
he came by. When the ceremony is over, you pay even more attention to them. For
example: charming spirits can move in.
[See other categories of spirits in DTA]
I Thes 5:21,22 appearance = eidos-form. The first thing you do is teach people
how to recognize the appearance [form] of evil. Later teach them the reality
behind it. For example, with this teen sex stuff. Don't get in the habit of
talking to people about devil spirits--it's a bad habit. Talking to them on how
to control their mind, where they blew it. Be careful when you are counselling
people to talk about devil spirits. That's bad form--out of order. This is the
understanding you have to develop.
First teach people in common sense logic to avoid the form (i.e. Homo is wrong;
trinity; praise Jesus; self-help gurus). Recognize the framework first.
Politics is a form--abstain from it. There were some bad political habits in
some of our Corps men. They would circumvent the system to get things
done--this riled me. The politicians go on a "favor bank" system.
"You owe me one." They are selfish, greedy bastards. I owe people
everything I can teach them. I'm not storing up favors. It is sin; it is
manipulative devil spirit power.
Learn to recognize the appearance [form, shape--eidos]
In Luke 3 eidos is used
of the holy spirit in the shape of a dove. God showed those that were there a
phenomenon to indicate the significance behind it. The reality behind it was
the key. Restrain themselves from the enemy. Have a retemory that counters the
attack [DTA teaches you these]--i.e. condemnation. This is what you've got to
be teaching people. Deal with things carefully, precisely, simply. Close the
casket.
Proverbs 37:27 and 34:14--hate evil; to depart from evil is understanding.
Understanding is gained by living the Word. First recognize what is coming at
you. Recognize the means where the adversary attacks. Job 28:28
One dropped Corps girl that was a fag, sent a, so called, letter of apology. It
was the accuser at work. Homos have false humility and will hide their
accusation. If you cannot see the appearance of evil, you will never see what
is behind it.
Learn to think precisely--a certain rate; details. The attacks the adversary
uses on you--beat them. DTA retems--this would be a category to expand upon.
Things come together for me: i.e. a girl that helped me with my clothes. Wrote
me a letter of how blessed she was with what I taught her. It's the Word,
people I help, the life I'm living.
Learn to deal with the routine [the mundane]. Recognize Satan's devices; God's
call to abundant discipleship [SNS 1762]. Define where those spirits hide. It
is a great time to be alive. Speak with plainness of speech. You have to have a
clean household to be able to do that.
The Corps is the best of the best. They have to get better to stay up on these
things. God knows your heart and life; you keep moving.
Parents/teens: Rev. Fort has been teaching the teens we've been helping. Most
of the parents are very ashamed, and should be.
They thought it was OK
because their kids were with believers. Another example of people thinking that
the ministry is responsible for raising their children. That is sin. The Word
of God gives you no right to do that.
You raise your household up. It's not God's job to raise my kids either. That's
denominational logic--church kids. It's basically too late with
teens--basically makes no difference. The parents are encrusted, didn't
hearken, obey and do. Their habits blind them. You won't learn more of the Word
'til you make up your mind to apply what is being taught; otherwise you just go
to sleep. Stay at the fundamentals of living.
Ex 23:24:
Thou shalt not bow down
to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly
overthrow them, and quite break down their images. [No associations to idolatry
in their minds.]
When we got the Indiana Campus, we took the crosses out. We covered the stained
glass during one Advanced Class. We left one cross up for the IRS to keep us in
that category of non-profit religious organization. Dr. Wierwille wanted them
there as a reminder of what God delivered us from. These six categories:
everything basically led itself to idolatry.
In Egypt,
the firstborn--being the eldest had the responsibility to carry on the ancestor
worship in the family--spirit infestation. Japan has had those spirits there
for centuries--it's hard to reach those people.
The destroyer took the eldest--the form that the adversary got in there with.
"utterly overthrow them"--When people have been delivered, anything
that would entice them back to that kind of thinking and logic needs to be done
away with. There cannot be any form or remembrance or association to drive them
back to that kind of logic. Wipe out all messages of enticement.
Lesbian: One reason why women become lesbians is because they had bad
experiences with men. When they get delivered they shouldn't have anything in
their lives that would drive their minds back to that logic. Get rid of it;
drive mind back to the logic of the Word--excuses do not back up logic. PFAL--I
will run people off in session one. Many things that psychologists dig up are
good points--but they do not back up their logic.
When you get delivered to the end that you are not even tempted again, you do
not even think in terms of that alternative.
"Quite break
down" Something about worshipping homo, Baal, Astaroth, Mary, Jesus, etc.
had to be attractive. When people get delivered that's what they have to
confront. Get to the specifics that get to it. Get to the root system.
Divorce is taught at the cradle. An older person that was interviewed
commented, "I never considered not staying with my wife. It was not an
alternative the way I was raised."
Two people that wrote to me to drop themselves from the Corps were not honest.
They kept an ace in the hole. God doesn't make mistakes. They were called to be
corps. You might as well beat the adversary at every place.
:25 If you're going to hang on to homo/Jesus Christ is God etc. don't pray for
it. You must do what v. 24 says.
1) Physical sustenance
2) health
Food intake is a key on
health. Basic believing in the healing field.
Ex 23:26-29:
26] There shall nothing
cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will
fulfil. [full complete life]
27] I will send my fear
before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I
will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
28] And I will send
hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the
Hittite, from before thee.
29] I will not drive them
out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast
of the field multiply against thee. [That would be more than their certain
rate.]
Expanding a business: The BOT has told believers starting out in business not
to expand when they become successful. Why expand? More employees; more
hassles, etc. There is no eighth day in a week. What is the ego that drives you
to think you have to expand? Take it over systematically. Clean it up. Take
care of it. Maintenance--too much goes undone. There is no time to build.
:29 Cannot manage it. The same is true in the outreach of the ministry. If our
people won't stand, how can God entrust us with more? Discipline the mind to
see the framework, forms, logic, appearances, the way evil hides in
terminology, people, cultural ritual [stock market]--still stay sharp in
recognizing the form.
Ex 23:30:
By little and little I
will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the
land.
Portion by portion. To the proportion and degree that they can handle it. If
God had laid it all on them, it would logic run them. Vigilantly care for what
we have.
At times I get filled, loaded. Teach awhile, live and apply awhile.
Homos: WOW program was beyond oversight. We know now that over 10% of those
that were going to go WOW were homo. That's the devil's tithe. It would have
ruined that thing.
There have been 8 more
homos flushed out since last Wednesday--Doug Xxxxx.
The next step is that we
cannot wait for them to admit it.
A genuine spiritual suspicion
among leaders is enough.
Our people have proven
they're sharp on this. In the Old Testament, when someone was wrongfully
accused of murder, the accuser was murdered. If people obey the structure LCM
has set up, we will not wrongfully accuse people.
Make a decision to protect the ministry. Write to Headquarters in every one of
these cases. Don't wait on a confession. Get them out the door. These homos are
the best of the best of liars.
Exodus 23:31:
And I will set thy bounds
from the Red sea even unto the sea of the
Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the
inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before
thee. [Their definition of WOW.]
Exodus 23:32:
Thou shalt make no
covenant with them, nor with their gods. [We are trying to teach our people how
to live in this world without making covenants with the spirit realm.]
When is it going too far, crossing the line with making a covenant with evil?
Once you come to God's Word, all bets are off.
Military believers: Just
because you're a part of something that the homos are a part of doesn't mean
you have entered into a covenant with them.
Don't go in debt to get an education in a field: In the medical or dentistry
fields, if you have to go into debt to get an education in that field, don't do
it. Choose another profession.
I'd rather have them
stand approved before God than them being enslaved.
If anyone had the balls, we'd develop our own AMA. The State of Ohio has enough reason
to secede. I would secede from the United States if I had the
privilege. I don't. That would make an interesting novel, to have someone write
a story about a state seceding.
Own the healing arts
category.
"Gay and lesbian parents--homos make better parents". -the professional
pressure
-no right to refuse full
abilities to the homo realm.
If anyone had the guts or resolve to take a stand against them, God would back
it up.
That's the Word of the Lord. No debt, or choose another profession. VPW got his
academic degree outside the academic strata of the day. To get that degree at Pike's Peak took quality and attention.
32] Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33] They shall not dwell
in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods,
it will surely be a snare unto thee.
Don't let them dwell in your house. They will make you sin against Him. The key
is to utterly overthrow.
