--The Gen Story, Part 5

         1. I went to bed praying desperately, "Lord, what shall we do about this problem with Gen?" Early in the morning I got up to go to the bathroom & then back in bed again. I thought I went back to sleep again, but in the morning Maria told me I had gone right on talking & given the Lord's answer to the whole problem & what had to be done:
         2. Tell the girls, Lydia & Faith, to go back down as early in the morning as they want. But don't make a big deal out of it, don't browbeat Gen. Just merely present the Lord's answer & watch her reaction. If she is genuinely sincere & wants to be delivered, that verse the Lord gave ought to break anybody, because it just completely exposes her.
         3. If she does not completely break down & repent, there is no use having some big scene of exorcism. The best thing you can do then is just smooth it over. We'll just have to phase her out somehow. Unless there's HOPES for her, it's better to just phase her OUT, even if we have to lose him too!
         4. By going ahead in that marriage without permission, Eman got out of God's Will. The first time I saw her picture I thought she was plumb crazy, mentally deranged! That starey-eyed, glassy-eyed look is peculiar to people who are spiritually deranged. Eyes are the window of the soul!
         5. With insane people you have to humour them, not to confront them or precipitate a crisis. If you see she's obviously not receiving it & not contrite & not breaking down & not wanting to be delivered, genuinely, it's better just to pacify her & keep her as a friend, as you ease her OUT!
         6. In fact, I don't know now whether we should even give her the verse! It might be far better to peacefully send them back than to have a big explosion, than to have her go completely daffy & try to kill the baby or something! She's not receiving treatment.
         7. If it had not been for the recommendation of others, I would never have sent for that woman! I knew she was crazy from the first time I looked at her picture! So what we're really doing, in effect, is sending her back to her former Home. They gave us the problem, now they're going to have to take care of her.
         8. God is really furious at Jus too, for not being concerned about that little lamb, & he's unworthy of being a shepherd because he was unconcerned about that baby. The fact of the matter is, the unconcern of ALL of them about that little child has shown them ALL unworthy of the honour of being here. God was testing them through that baby. The protection of that little LAMB was the protection of the WORD!
         9. One little lamb in the flock is more important than Jus' job! If we don't care for the LAMBS, the Words are of no avail. It reminds me of the way Nathan walked in & pointed the finger at David.--2Sam.12:7. David thought, "This is a small thing, nobody will ever know!" But he lost the Kingdom over it, at least for awhile.
         10. The LORD forsook the ninety-&-nine in the fold & went out to look for the ONE LOST SHEEP!--Luk.15:4-6.
