WHEN I'M GONE!   DO706    7/5/78

         1. MARIA WAS ASKING ME THE OTHER DAY, "WHO IS GOING TO LEAD US AFTER YOU'RE GONE?" Well, after Jesus died, what did they do? Who became & Who was always the true leader of the church?--The Holy Spirit, right? So there's no problem.--She still is! PTL!
         2. Jesus will still lead you after I'm gone. Don't worry about it. The same One that's at the Head of us right now is still going to be the Head of you, & that's Jesus. There's not going to be one single speck of change in leadership!
         3. "Yeah, yeah, I know, Jesus is going to be the Leader, sure. I know--but through WHOM?" Well, why worry about that? Just read the first chapter of Acts & you'll know what you're supposed to do.--What did the disciples do?
         4. FIRST OF ALL THEY OBEYED JESUS & they did what He told them to do. Also, they were all in one place of one spirit & of one accord. (Acts.1:14) And I'm sure they really prayed. Well, aren't you of one mind & one accord in one place seeking the Lord & already filled with the Holy Ghost?--That's the main difference, you're already filled with the Holy Ghost, you've got a whole great big grand jump on the disciples!
         5. Ask the Lord about everything before you do it. Make sure that's what He wants you to do. Seek His face about everything--every problem, every decision. Wait on the Lord. Don't do like Peter did & jump up & decide to appoint Matthias to be the other Apostle when he wasn't even God's choice! (See Ac.1:15-26.)
         6. So obey! Stick together! Seek the Lord!--About everything! And "be endued with power from on high"!--Be sure you're filled with the Spirit & you're led of the Spirit. And finally, when the power fell, what did they do?--Witness! Aren't you already witnessing? So what is the big change going to be?
         7. WHO IS THE MOST LOGICAL INSTRUMENT THAT GOD IS GOING TO USE WHEN I AM GONE?--MARIA, OF COURSE! The Lord has even said so several times, that she was going to become a great Prophetess!
         8. Besides Jesus, she has always been the power behind the throne! She's the one that got me rolling in the first place! She's the one that had the faith in me in the beginning that I could do whatever I was going to do. So if it was her faith to begin with, what do you have to worry about even after I leave?
         9. (Prophecy:) "And the Word will come to her & be quickened to her...(Tongues)...in greater power & with greater signs & greater wonders than even under her Father!" Isn't that beautiful? Do you realize what God said just now? God is going to do greater & mightier works under her than He has under me!
         10. Maria is going to do far more than I have ever done!--And so are you!--And you're going to look to her for guidance when I am gone. What happened when Elijah left on that chariot & went straight up? Elisha inherited Elijah's mantle, which meant his anointing of power! He asked for a double portion, & do you know what happened as a result of that double anointing? Elisha did exactly twice as many miracles as Elijah! (2Kings 2:9-14)
         11. You're going to accomplish more for the Lord, you're going to do more miracles--because you're going to have to in the Last Days, for there's going to be such opposition. You'll be like the last Two Witnesses. (Rev.11)
         12. SO DON'T WORRY, GOD'LL BE IN CONTROL, JUST LIKE HE IS NOW! Jesus is still going to be the Head of this outfit, & Maria is still going to very likely run things just like she does now. Of course I get the inspiration & the anointing & I get the Words, because I happen to be the channel now. But when I'm gone, she will inherit that power & that mantle & she will be the channel.
         13. In fact, SHE was the FIRST channel! I'll never forget the first day in 1969 when we lay together on the back bed of that camper & all she did was begin to speak & pray in tongues, & it literally gave me a spiritual kick in the pants which got me rolling!--I knew I had to hear from God, because she was back there pushing & kicking, spiritually. I didn't dare fail her, because I loved her so much!
         14. So don't think that my death is going to kill the movement! That's what the poor stupid disciples thought too. But you are going to do better than ever. Because you're still going to have the same spiritual leadership that you had before!: Jesus Christ & dear little Maria, my little spark!
         15. HELP THEM TO KEEP THEIR EYES ON YOU, JESUS. Help them to keep their minds & their hearts & their faith stayed on You, in Jesus' name we ask for Thy Glory. (Prays the Lord's Prayer.)--Whose is the Kingdom? It belongs to the Lord! So Who's going to take care of it?--God! It won't matter if I'm wiped out & you're all wiped out, God's Kingdom is going to keep right on going forever! So don't worry about it, amen?--Keep going for God!
