WONDER WORKING WORDS!             GP 207            2/73

EXPANSION IS STOPPED BY LACK OF LEADERS!
        
         1. I was asking the Lord the other morning in prayer as I pondered the reasons WHY OUR NUMBERS HAVE HOVERED AT ABOUT THE SAME level.--IS OUR PRESENT RAPID EXPANSION & SCATTERING THROUGHOUT ALL THE WORLD THE ONLY REASON or even the main reason for the slowing down of our growth in numbers of Homes and disciples to almost a standstill?
         2. The Lord's answer was a clear "No!"--He showed me plainly that WE'VE REACHED A CERTAIN LIMITATION IN OUR ABILITY TO GROW ANY FURTHER BECAUSE WE HAD REACHED THE LIMITATIONS OF OUR LEADERSHIP that we had originally trained.

WE LACK LEADERS BECAUSE OF A LACK OF LETTERS!
        
         3. "WHY?", I ASKED.--"IS IT BECAUSE THESE HAVE FAILED TO TEACH OTHERS TO TEACH OTHERS & TRAIN OTHER LEADERS IN THEIR TURN?"--PARTLY, YES. But mostly, the Lord said, YOU LACK LEADERS BECAUSE YOU LACK LITERATURE!--And the literature you lack are the Letters of the Leader! One of the principal reasons that you have failed to train the leaders you should have is because YOU HAVE NOT GIVEN THEM THE LEADERSHIP TRAINING OF THE LETTERS OF THE LEADER that could have trained them. If you had, they would have had need that no man should teach them, but God's Words would have led them into all Truth through the Letters of your Leadership! Amen?
         4. I want you to remember this: God said we now lack leaders because we lack literature, & the literature they need most are the Letters of the Leader! WE LACK LEADERS BECAUSE WE LACK LITERATURE, THE LETTERS OF THE LEADER! That was God's answer & I believe it! These are the Words that work & will work for the World! Jesus said, "The Words that I speak unto thee, they are Spirit & they are Life!"--Jn.6:63. The Words that He has given us contain His Spirit & His Life--& His Teaching to train Leaders: Literature for leaders, Letters of His Leadership. YOU LACK LEADERS BECAUSE YOU LACK THE LITERATURE OF THE LETTERS OF THE LEADER!
         5. We must place our major emphasis on producing the leaders & the literature we are going to need desperately in our booming growth & snowballing population explosion in the very near future, otherwise we could reach an almost insurmountable bottleneck that would cause such a traffic jam after a certain point that it would almost be IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPAND BEYOND IT WITHOUT THOSE LEADERS & THE LITERATURE!-And that hour has now come! We can't go much further without them.
         6. The World has heard ABOUT us--now they want to hear FROM us!--What made us World news? We've proven it can be done & we have done it! We've proven it works, & we've worked it! What more proof can we have than that it works! Jesus works! His method works! His Message works! His Words work! We have a worldwide work to prove it! We have shown our faith by our works! His Words did the work!

OUR TOP PRIORITY NOW IS TO PUBLISH!
                 
         7. TELL THE WORDS THAT WORK TO THE WORLD! Get the Words that work to the World! CUT COSTS & MULTIPLY MO MISSIVES!--MILLIONS FOR THE BILLIONS! What have you done this week to get the Words that work to the World? This is our success secret! This is the Almighty's answer: Put it on paper into print & GET THE WORDS THAT WORK TO THE WORLD BY THE MIL LIONS FOR THE BILLIONS!
         8. We can't possibly ever train enough people personally! His Spirit must lead them into all Truth by His Words that work, so that no man need teach them! His Words will work wonders for the World! But we must put them in print on paper so they can circulate around the Globe available to all! Millions for the billions! WE HAVE THE LABOURERS--WE NEED THE TOOLS! WE HAVE THE ARMY--WE NEED THE AMMUNITION! What have you done this week to get the Words that work to the World to do wonders!
         9. Every disciple, every leader, every Home, every department, every office & every print shop, every typist & every secretary, every translator & every worker, whatever your job may be, MUST NOW KNOW THAT YOUR MAIN JOB IS TO HELP IN SOME WAY TO GET THE WORDS THAT WORK TO THE WORLD! Millions for the billions! We now have a worldwide army of willing workers for witnessing the Words that work wonders to the World! Our greatest need now is the News in print, plenty of ammunition for our good soldiers to shoot without shirk! Give these Words that work wonders to the World!
         10. We lack leaders for lack of Letters, so the Letters must be leaders! If you leaders already feel overloaded, the question is, what are you overloaded with? Where is your sense of values? WHAT ARE YOUR PRIORITIES? What are you so busy with that is more important than getting the Words that work to the World? THE WORDS ARE THE CAUSE, OUR KIDS ARE THE EFFECT! Are you so busy with the effects that you haven't time to continue the cause that brought such effects? ARE YOU FIDDLING WITH EFFECTS WHILE NEGLECTING THE CAUSE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A MILLION times the effects we've already had? Are you SO BUSY WITH THE WORKS YOU'VE NEGLECTED THE WORDS that cause the works? QUIT PIDDLING!--START PUBLISHING!
         11. We don't mean by this that you shepherds are to neglect the sheep you already have. What we mean is that WE ALL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER to give them the Words that work so they can give them to work wonders for the World! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THIS WEEK TO HELP PUBLISH THE WORDS THAT WORK TO THE WORLD? If your vision is only the few little Homes & disciples we already have, it doesn't amount to much! Unless you're working to get the Words that work wonders to the whole World, you're not accomplishing much. IF YOU THINK YOUR MAJOR PURPOSE IS TO SURVIVE AS A HOME, THERE'S NOT MUCH EXCUSE FOR YOUR EXISTENCE AT ALL! God might as well take you Home now if you're not working to win the World, if you're not working to publish the Words that work to win them! GET ON THE BALL & ROLL!

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PUBLISH THE WWW!
        
         12. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THIS WEEK THAT YOU WON'T HAVE TO DO AGAIN NEXT WEEK? What have you done today that you won't have to do again tomorrow? Where are your products of progress? There is no such thing as standing still! You're either progressing & have the products to prove it or backsliding to oblivion! We're doing all we can to give God's gift to you, the Words that work wonders!--What are you doing to get them to the rest of the World? WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE FOR LIVING? ARE YOU LIVING TO GIVE LIFE TO THE LOST BY HIS LETTERS?
         13. While we've been so busy with a little here & there, THE TIME WILL SOON BE GONE. The Lord said BUT ONE THING IS NEEDFUL: TO SIT AT HIS FEET & LEARN OF HIM THE WORDS HE GIVES & pass them on to the World! Those who have chosen this good part, it shall never be taken away from them! Like the Martha in that Scripture, too many of us have been cumbered with TOO MUCH SERVING & NOT ENOUGH LISTENING! We've had TOO MANY MARTHAS & NOT ENOUGH MARYS! We feel we must serve to exist, when we should live to listen! For Jesus said only one thing is needful: To learn His Words!--His wonder working Words for the World!
         14. Soul-winning is not our major task! Witnessing His wonder working Words to the World is our major task! Witnessing's more important than winning! We'll win very few compared to the millions to whom we'll witness. But we're more responsible to give them all God's Message than we are to win them, for only HIS SPIRIT CAN WIN. WE CAN ONLY WITNESS! What they do with our witness is up to them, as each must make his own decision. Even God can't win'm all, but He wants to give them all a chance. We must give them that opportunity with our witness of His wonder working Words to all the World!
         15. Now what can YOU do to help? We're now doing our part to get these wonder working Words to you in full. Now it's up to you to not only HELP US PAY FOR THESE, but also SEE THAT EVERYONE WHO NEEDS THEM GETS THEM! REPRINT OR TRANSLATE in every language & GIVE HIS WONDER WORKING WORDS TO THE WORLD! Amen?
