ESTHER--THE QUEEN OF FFers!      DO 1755  3/84
--The Importance of FFing in Today's Lands!

         [HomeARC note: FFing was discontinued in 1987.]

         1. I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE COUNTRIES WHERE WE'VE BEEN GETTING SO MUCH PERSECUTION. I'm just wondering how successful their FFing was?
         2. THE ANSWER I GOT WAS JUST AS CLEAR AS A BELL!: IN OTHER COUNTRIES THEY FFed TOP [PEOPLE] WHO HAVE IN TURN DEFENDED & PROTECTED US, but somehow they failed to reach the right people in fields where we're being persecuted. They apparently do a lot of FFing, but who were they FFing?
         3. ONCE THEY HAVE FFed SOME [IMPORTANT MEN], THEY NOT ONLY WIN THEM, BUT THEY ALSO WIN THEIR FAVOR & THEIR INFLUENCE & PROTECTION & defense. That is all I know, just as clear as a bell it came to me, "They didn't work on top-ranking men of influence, like they did in other countries." In some places, I believe with all my heart, it has been the FFers that we can virtually give top credit to for the Family having been protected, defended & permitted freedom for so long.
         4. SO THAT SHOWS YOU WHAT ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EFFECTS & EFFECTIVENESS OF FFing IS, IT CAN PROTECT THE WHOLE FAMILY IN A WHOLE COUNTRY! For the failure to FF the proper men, the top men, the fear of FFing in the top ranks could mean in the long run that they really lose out!
         5. YOU SHOULDN'T UNDERESTIMATE THE VALUE & THE EFFECTIVENESS, THE INFLUENCE & THE IMPORTANCE OF FFing!--It is much more than for mere support, or even for souls, but for defense, protection & giving us freedom & liberty to operate within a country. I think our girls should go to the top clubs & the best places! Let the men foot the bill! Find out where [they] circulate, etc. Find out where they hang out & hobnob & get in with some of the top ones!
         6. IF ESTHER COULD BE INSTRUMENTAL WITH THE KING OF PERSIA TO HAVE INFLUENCED HIM TO PROTECT HER WHOLE PEOPLE, HER WHOLE FAMILY, then certainly even one of our girls might be instrumental in doing the same thing in a country, if she becomes a favorite of [a top person]! I don't think anybody should underestimate the power of a woman! And I don't think the FFers even know their own power or appreciate how much power they have to get to the top, that is the power God has given women!
         7. AND I THINK THAT THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON WHY WE'RE GETTING PERSECUTION IN SOME COUNTRIES NOW: PERHAPS THEY DIDN'T FF THE RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE, OR THEY WERE AFRAID TO GO TO THE TOP! Maybe they didn't go to those clubs because they were too expensive. Well, our girls, if they're good enough & smart enough, ought to know by this time they don't even need a fisherman! They can go two-by-two to those fancy clubs & never have to pay for a thing! So they don't have to worry about prices. Those are the guys with not only the money to give generously, which is what they need as well, but top men with top influence, & they'll only go to the best clubs.
         8. SO ANY OF OUR GIRLS WHO HESITATE TO GO TO TOP PLACES ARE MISSING THE BOAT! As long as they've got the experience & training & what it takes, & looks & know-how to act & dress & behave & talk right, with the power of the Lord I think they can be the most powerful women that ever hit that place! It's the power & the Love of the Lord!--The influence of the Holy Spirit!
         9. (MARIA: IN THE EAST IT IS PRETTY DIFFICULT TO FIND CLUBS, because if they do have them they are very very private & you don't just go knocking at the door! But where there is a will there is a way & you can pray that you meet top people somewhere.) The Lord can make some way!--Hotels or somewhere. They go some place for pleasure, for fun, for dancing. They go some place to meet girls! They could meet some influential man & he could take them to some private clubs as his guest.
         10. THE LOBBYISTS ATTACK HOTELS & CLUBS & RESTAURANTS & THE MEETING PLACES OF THE INFLUENTIAL, & IN A SENSE YOU MIGHT SAY THAT OUR FFers ARE OUR MOST POWERFUL LOBBYISTS! They literally lobby for the Family with men of influence, & they do a very effective job of it when they really do it in the Spirit & with the guidance & power of the Lord & His leading, & they have done it a lot of places where it has spared us a long time.
         11. SO THAT MAY BE A WARNING TO OUR FFers & OUR PEOPLE & FAMILY, especially perhaps even in closed countries, that they had better get up to the top where men of influence can defend us & protect us when there is trouble, & trouble always comes!--At least they are on the inside & can even warn us!
         12. (MARIA: I WONDER IF SOMETIMES OUR GIRLS DO IT TOO INDEPENDENTLY.--Like a certain girl will FF an influential man but never tell him that they are associated with anyone else. They now seem to do it very very selah, very independently. So when the trouble does come they would have to approach that man & say, "Look, I am associated with those people!--What can you do to help us?") Right! Now they don't have to do it right off the bat & scare him off, but when there is any wind of trouble or something or if trouble comes & they are asked, I think they should have the courage like Esther did & risk their lives, if necessary, to defend their people & tell the King or the men of influence or government officials.
         13. SO I THINK THAT IS PRETTY IMPORTANT!: THEY CAN GET DRIVEN OUT OF A WHOLE COUNTRY BECAUSE THE FFers DIDN'T GET THROUGH TO THE RIGHT MEN or they didn't confess to those men who they were, in the long run at least, after they have won them over. I should think there is plenty of chance then to tell them who they are & start slipping them the lit, etc. Once you've won their hearts it is time to tell them who is who & what is what!--"Now you've got to help us!"
         14. SO THAT'S THE ANSWER I GOT, THAT OUR FFers NEED TO KNOW THEIR POWER & HOW GOD CAN USE THEM, & THEY NEED TO USE IT! God has used women & sex for centuries! Let's face it! There were time & time again occasions of it in the Bible! Look how often Abraham used his wife as an FFer in his own self-defense! Of course, he almost got in trouble with it a few times, but in the meantime they enjoyed the favor of the King & his protection & even support!
         15. THERE COMES A TIME WHEN OUR FFers HAVE GOT TO LET THEM KNOW WHO THEY ARE & what they are & who they belong to, & to try to stand in the gap & rise up in defense of their people, if they haven't done it already! And when it comes down to the showdown, they really need to come out & use it directly & tell those men who they are & [about the coming persecution], etc.--Like Esther, the Queen of FFers!--She risked her life to save her people!--And it worked!--Why don't you work it for the Lord & your people?!--Amen?
