whatsoever for Satan, and that my help lies solely in CHRIST and
the Throne of GRACE, this Work would have been DESTROYED before it
really got started -- for Satan has fought it from the start!
Satan used all the same subtle tactics he had always used.
He ACCUSED -- falsely. He worked trying to assassinate my
character and Garner Ted's -- not only among hundreds of MEMBERS,
but in the public PRESS WORLDWIDE. He tried to destroy GOD'S
GOVERNMENT in His Church! He worked on every possible grievance,
true or fancied. He blew up all these NEGATIVE things OUT OF ALL
PROPORTION, IN A FEVERISH EMOTIONAL PITCH, trying to DESTROY the
CHURCH of the living GOD, His WORK, His Colleges, His MINISTERS,
and His PEOPLE!
Repeatedly, all through the Bible -- especially in the New
Testament, we are warned that our REAL ENEMY is Satan! He tries
to get our minds OFF of our B I G Commission, by getting them on
physical and material things that loom up as MUCH more important
-- and on grievances or fancied wrongs or manufactured "ISSUES"
until we CAN'T SEE THE REAL ISSUE.
Now I am OVERJOYED to be able to tell you that many of the
ministers affected by this attack of Satan (and only some 21 out
of a total of 648 were) have come to realize they were misled,
they had only PART of the facts -- there were grievous
MISunderstandings, and they have COME BACK in loyalty to God's
true Church!
I pray with all my heart that ALL will come to see that
it is Satan, not Headquarters, nor I, nor Garner Ted, nor these
Ministers, who have REALLY caused this satanic ATTACK on the
CHURCH of the Living God.
EPISODE VII: There remains yet one more Episode: That
which we have been called to PREPARE THE WAY FOR -- the coming of
CHRIST with all the SUPREME POWER AND GLORY of the CREATOR GOD,
as the KING of kings and LORD of lords, will soon come. Satan's
time will be up.
An angel soon will come down from heaven, having the key
of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand, and he will
lay hold on Satan the Devil, and cast him into the bottomless pit
and shut him up, and set a seal upon him for A THOUSAND YEARS, that
he shall DECEIVE the nations NO MORE for a thousand years!
As Christ descends in a cloud, WE shall RISE TO MEET HIM
IN THE CLOUDS, then changed from human to divine -- from flesh and
blood to SPIRIT composition with ETERNAL LIFE. Then we shall, if
loyal NOW to God's Government, rule ALL NATIONS under, and with
Christ, each having our part in that GOVERNMENT, and working with
and under Christ as our HIGH PRIEST in then SAVING THE WHOLE WORLD,
with no Satan around to attack us!
WHAT A TRANSCENDENT POTENTIAL to ANTICIPATE!
And IT WON'T BE LONG!
