I was offered a good salary to team up with a nationally-
known evangelist--PROVIDED I would stop preaching certain vital
TRUTHS of the BIBLE, and preach what men told me to preach. Later,
in Hollywood, I was offered $100,000 a year--with assurances it
would be raised to $200,000 a year once we gained a good audience
rating--to become a news analyst on a major network, using a
certain amount of prophetic background, for a large manufacturer in
the food industry. But of course I would be MUZZLED! I have
received flattering offers of having the radio program SPONSORED--
again provided I would serve MEN instead of GOD! I have been
persecuted, threatened, opposed. Ministers have opposed me--tried
to destroy me. Communists have threatened my life. But I rely on
God to protect it, as I have continued to rely on GOD ALONE, thru
those whose hearts HE moves, for financial support--for EVERY need!
It has been a rough road. It has been a hard battle.
Never has it been easy. People have forsaken me, threatened,
persecuted. But GOD HAS NEVER LEFT NOR FORSAKEN ME! He has
permitted trials, temptations, apparently insurmountable obstacles.
Yet He has always protected, delivered, prospered. He has blessed
with wisdom, and every spiritual blessing. HE HAS VINDICATED HIS
WORD! This is HIS WORK--GOD ALMIGHTY HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR
IT, AND TO EXPAND IT CONSTANTLY IN POWER AND SCOPE!
The broadcast started on one little station of the
smallest power of commercial radio stations--100 watts. And it was
ONCE A WEEK only. It started the first Sunday in 1934. The first
issue of The PLAIN TRUTH came out February 1st, 1934--a little
mimeographed "magazine." From that smallest possible beginning--
as God always starts things small thru human agencies, but causes
them, like the grain of mustard seed, to GROW--it has grown and
expanded until today God's Message is thundered to the world over
more than FIVE MILLION WATTS of radio power every week! 175,000
copies of The Plain Truth are read every month. And the Message is
published monthly in 1« MILLION COPIES of Cappers' Farmer, in a
large advertising space of a page and a third.
WHAT IS THE REAL MEANING of this growing WORK OF GOD?
It MEANS the same thing that this new SPACE AGE and this
NEW WORLD WAR of science and technology mean. It MEANS that it is
LATER THAN YOU THINK!
It seems this world is hurtling to ITS END! It means that
YOU, and your children, will not be living here 25 years from now!
It means that if God Almighty does not soon intervene, THE FORCES
OF SCIENCE AND THE MILITARY FORCES OF MAN-RULED GOVERNMENTS WILL
BLAST ALL HUMAN LIFE FROM OFF THIS PLANET! Don't blame me for
this--I did not create it! It is merely my job, as God's
specially-called servant, to WARN the world!
It MEANS that this great and growing WORK of GOD is today
THE MOST IMPORTANT ACTIVITY ON EARTH. Your only hope of escaping
the frightful catastrophes MEN are bringing on the world is THE
PROTECTION OF THE LOVING AND ALL-POWERFUL GOD WHICH WE PROCLAIM!
