Dear Inner Family of Co-Workers and Brethren:
Events are now happening so fast I cannot wait till the
usual time at the end of the month to tell you the BIG NEWS! And,
I sincerely believe, A SENSATIONAL announcement!
Less than three weeks ago I wrote you of plans for the
greatest lunge forward this end-time Work of God has ever taken.
No time has been wasted, and those plans already are well under
way. But now our living Saviour who HEADS this Work has opened
the MIGHTIEST -- THE MOST POWERFUL DOOR IN THE 38 1/2 years of this
Work! I know -- I wrote you before that on January 7th the most
powerful door so far was opened to us and that was true! But what
has opened up since my last letter, May 31, is still greater!
It's just as if God is starting His Work all over again.
I want to tell you, first, a few things about its original start
-- and then you'll understand what I mean by saying it is STARTING
ALL OVER AGAIN, and, this time, starting from here with more than
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES the power with which it started then.
This Work has recently undergone some scurrilous attacks
reaching around the world. I have reminded you, however, that GOD
IS STILL ON HIS THRONE -- and He most certainly is demonstrating it
now! But when this Work was getting started, 38 1/2 years ago, it
was opposed and persecuted and attacked even more, by comparison of
its size, than now! Organized efforts were made to prevent it from
starting, and in its first two or three years to stop it and
destroy it. It IS the Work of GOD, so would you expect an angry
devil to refrain from opposing it? And, being the Work of GOD, it
has GROWN like the grain of mustard seed, despite all opposition --
and will continue to do so.
I say again, every little setback is like the cocking of
the gun -- it just shoots the Work on forward faster than ever!
And so now, I have TREMENDOUS NEWS -- by far the most
important announcement in the 38 1/2 years of this Work!
I want to give you some of the exciting facts about how the
Work got started 38 1/2 years ago, but I must give you the big news
first.
