(Rev. 3:8). If you will compare II Cor. 2:12-13 and Acts 16:9, you
will see how God opened a door to allow the Apostle Paul and his
Co-Workers to go to Europe and preach the Gospel. It is an
opportunity to preach opened up---a means of getting out the
Gospel. Today, God has opened the TREMENDOUS DOOR of radio,
television, and the printing press. That is THE DOOR God has
opened that WE TODAY may now utilize MASS EVANGELISM---reaching
MILLIONS, all around the world at once, instead of just a few in
one place at a time! And DO YOU REALIZE THAT "THE WORLD TOMORROW"
PROGRAM IS NOW USING MORE WATTS OF RADIO POWER EVERY WEEK THAN ANY
OTHER RADIO PROGRAM ON EARTH!
There has been tremendous opposition! For years the big
stations would not let a religious program such as ours on the air.
Radio officials generally are highly prejudiced against religious
broadcasting. For years we had to go on small fourth or fifth-rate
stations. But NOW God is opening up to us, for The WORLD TOMORROW
program, the biggest, most powerful, MOST-listened-to stations
around the world!
GOD HAS OPENED A TREMENDOUS DOOR! His Message at last is
beginning to go AROUND THE WORLD. It is a matter of a few more
years until it reaches ALL NATIONS, in their own languages!
Co-Workers, you and I today form THE COLLECTIVE BODY which
GOD is powerfully using in carrying, at last, to completion, THE
WORK OF GOD!
Can you possibly WAKE UP to the realization that God is now
using US as Co-Workers together with Christ, in COMPLETING THE
GLORIOUS WORK OF GOD--proclaiming HIS MESSAGE to all the world---
ministering to those whom He calls and who REPENT of transgressing
GOD'S LAWS, actually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Personal Saviour---
which means they receive HIM, in Spirit, to actually live their
lives for them---to LIVE by every Word of the Bible---to live and
practice what Jesus taught, and the customs He followed!
The glorious MAGNITUDE of this tremendous mission in which
God has actually been using YOU, as well as me, is probably more
than our poor human minds can fully realize!
But it is time we come to recognize this for WHAT IT
ACTUALLY IS! For, while we are NOT a denomination or a sect, we
ARE the true CHURCH OF GOD being used as His instrument, empowered
by His Spirit, in finishing HIS WORK, which Jesus started!
Have you ever heard of the elderly woman who searched all
over the house, high and low, for her glasses, only to discover
finally that they were up on her forehead all the time? You'll
read in coming installments of my long search for the true Church
which Jesus founded and HEADS today. And it took me years to find
out that I had been in it ever since conversion, and was being USED
in it! The same is true of many of YOU! I know many of you, too,
have, as I did, "come out of Babylon."
Now HERE IS WHY I AM WRITING YOU THIS LETTER! If you, too,
have no other church membership than your part in THIS WORK OF GOD
