Dear Family,

1. Happy birthday! This year marks 33 years of the Family's existence, and what a year it's been! And what a wonderful year we have ahead of us, with new souls to be won through new tools, new sheep to be strengthened and fed through Activated and other follow-up lit, new changes and progress in the Family through the implementation of the board vision, and new victories to come in many lives, Homes and areas! Praise the Lord!

2. Peter is preparing some GNs with an overview of last year's victories and progress, which we hope to have to you shortly. Meanwhile‚ we thought we'd check with the Lord to see if dear Dad had anything to say to us on his birthday. After all, it's because of his faith, obedience, commitment and fire that we have the Family in the first place. Through one man's obedience to the Lord, many have been made righteous!

3. Sure enough‚ Dad did have a message for the Family on this special day. Dad is just as much a revolutionary as he ever was and he's very proud of you, his revolutionary Family, as he shares in the following inspiring words from Heaven!

With much love, thankfulness and appreciation for each of you, Mama

4. (Dad speaking: ) Thank you, Honey‚ for asking the Lord about this and giving me the cue to speak! This is just the chance I've been waiting for! There is something I would like to say to the Family on our birthday. In fact, just the other day the Lord asked me if I had any special desire—something I wanted for my birthday—and I told Him that what I would really enjoy doing on my birthday is having a little chat with the Family! I can't think of a better way to spend our birthday than having a little fellowship and chat time! Hallelujah! Praise God!

5. This Family birthday is one of special significance! Of course, every year is significant and special, but this year it's a milestone birthday following your fast and deliverance day, and your commitment of surrender at Feast 2002—both milestone dates in our Family history! We've had one humdinger of a year, and because of it, I think we ought to have one humdinger of a birthday celebration‚ don't you?—A time to praise and thank our faithful King Jesus for all He's done for us!

6. This birthday we have a lot to be thankful for, praise God! The fires of revolution have been rekindled! You've received the anointing of total commitment and the Lord's full possession! You're continuing to learn how to activate the keys to the Kingdom, and wonderful miracles are happening as a result! He's made available to you His awesome gift of Heavenly thought power! Praise the Lord! He's lit the fuse—you—and your explosion is going to be heard not just around the world, but to the far corners of the universe! There's no stopping you now!

7. Thank you, dear Family, for doing your part to fulfill my heart's desire. What our dear Love began through little ol' me, He's going to complete through you—and nothing could make me happier! Praise the Lord! Most of all on this birthday I want to tell you folks how proud I am of you! You've come a long, long way in recent months. You've jumped right in and are embracing the "Conviction vs. Compromise" revolution in your lives, and you're getting on board and riding the wave of revolution once again! Praise God! You couldn't give me a better birthday present than this, and that is to climb up and ride the wave of revolution! Hallelujah! It's a revolution!

8. It takes guts, beloved! It takes courage! It takes faith! I know many of you don't feel like you have much guts‚ courage, or faith, but let me tell you, you're still here, and that's what counts! Don't let anybody tell you that you don't have it in you, because there couldn't be anything further from the truth! You're still hanging in there‚ and that's what's making a difference! That's what's gonna rock the world—your stick–to-it-iveness; your determination to do or die trying; your willingness to go where the Lord says to go and do what He tells you to do whether you feel like it or not; your readiness to launch out into the deep and trust God to see you through; your obedience to put your hand into the hand of God and let Him lead you even when you can't see the way ahead; your taking a plunge by faith; your total abandonment of your own will and ways in order to embrace the Lord's will and His ways; your childlike faith to believe God just because He says so; your yieldedness and obedience to His slightest command! Praise God!

9. That's how this revolution began, and this is how it's gonna continue—by steamrolling ahead, trusting God, and obeying what He tells us to do, no matter how you feel‚ how crazy it seems, or how impossible it looks! And now you'll make progress by activating the keys every day, by allowing the Lord to fully possess you, and by learning how to hone and exercise the gifts He's opened up to you! Praise the Lord!

10. I know you have it in you and I'm proud of you for hanging on and forging ahead full throttle! Thank you! Thank you for giving me the best birthday present I could ever want!—For holding on to your fast day and Feast time victories; for taking a firm stand of commitment; for forsaking all once again; for laying the weights and the burdens and anything that would hold you back on His altar; for putting your life in our loving Savior's hands.

11. Thank you for yielding your all to Jesus—your heart, your spirit, your mind and your thoughts. Thank you for receiving Him and letting Him possess you; for rejecting the world and the carnal in order to put on the mind of Christ; for stepping out to explore the far–out, unorthodox, unprecedented gift of Heavenly thought power He's put at your fingertips! Thank you for making your calling and election sure!

12. Thank you, dear Family, for completing my life, for finishing the job, for making my dreams come true! Thank you for not letting me down. Thank you for once again jumping in the seat of the revolutionary racer and driving into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature, making disciples of all nations as you activate the world! Hallelujah!

13. You don't know the tears that I've wept, the hours I've poured out my heart and soul to our Husband in prayer. I've wept for this Family, pleaded for you‚ interceded for you, poured out my heart and soul in desperation, asking the Lord that though you're sifted and tested like wheat, that your faith would not fail. And it's not failing! Praise God! It's a revolution! The revolutionary Children of God have been around a long time, from Abel to you, His prophets of the End, and you're still alive and kicking! Thank the Lord! You're still kicking the ol' Devil and all his ilk right where it counts—all the way back to Hell where they belong! Praise God! There's no stopping us! They can't stop our rain!

14. You're making it, dear ones! You've just got to keep going no matter what—right up to the End when Jesus comes! It won't be long now, so keep plowing right on through! You've made it this far, and you'll make it the rest of the way! You've made it through the "Conviction vs. Compromise" revolution. You've made it through Feast 2002. You're surrendering your all‚ and you're making it through the new Family structure. And as long as you hold on tight, don't look to the right or the left, and above all don't look down, you're gonna continue to roll right over anything and everything that stands in your way!

15. What the Lord told us in our beginning days still holds true today: He said our little pebble would roll and gather momentum until it snowballed into a mountain! It's happening, and this explosion is gonna be heard not only around the world, but throughout the universe! Praise the One Who does it all! Praise our wonderful Love, our Strong Tower, our He-Man, our Mighty Fortress! (Dad prays in tongues.)

16. As long as you keep the fires of revolution burning, there's no stopping you! This is my heart's desire—to see these fires of revolution sweep the world! I want to see them blow—fanned into a forest fire that will sweep the nations! Thank you, dear loves, for making it happen! Thank you for being ready to go, ready to obey, ready to explode with the white-hot heat of God! All you have to do is yield and obey and there's no stopping you! You don't have to do anything else—Jesus does all the rest! All you have to do is follow. (Dad cries and speaks in tongues.)

17. Oh, Jesus, thank You! Thank You‚ Lord, for answering prayer! Thank You for helping the Family to give their total commitment. Thank You for igniting the red-hot fires of revolution once again in their hearts.

18. Let it burn, beloved, let it burn! We're still a revolution!—His called-out, dropped-out, radical revolutionaries!—Rebels against the carnal and ungodly ways of the world!—Those who refuse to accept the deceitfulness of Pan and Bacchus!—Those who've taken a stand against the evil Selvegion, and against anyone or any thing that stands in the way of unity!—Rebels against all that opposes the truth of God!

19. (Dad prays in tongues.) Thank You Jesus! Praise You‚ dear Love, our faithful Husband! Thank You for fulfilling my dream, for answering my prayers, for raising up the Family‚ for helping them to rise like the phoenix out of the ashes of seeming defeat, to once again fly high and soar far above the clouds of compromise, of lethargy, of worldliness and carnal-mindedness, of disunity, discouragement and despair. Thank You for igniting the fires of revolution in their hearts once again!

20. Thank You, Jesus, that we're not a reformation. We're not trying to improve on the status quo—we're a total break with the status quo‚ dropped out of the world and its ways! In this sense, we're not trying to change the world—we're creating a brand-new world! You, dear Family, are breaking the bonds of convention and tradition and are ushering in the new, radical Kingdom of God on Earth—a new world where His only law is love! Hallelujah!

21. The Lord's put many challenges before you these past months: the challenge to greater conviction, of rooting out all compromise in your lives‚ of taking a stand against Satan's foul pests! And because of your obedience, your willingness and readiness to do the things He's asked you to do, He's given you unprecedented gifts and blessings that far surpass anything He's ever given His children before! He's continuing to teach and instruct you in the use of the keys of the Kingdom and He's causing your faith to grow as you put them to use each day. He's made Himself available to you for full possession. He's presented you with the gift of His awesome Heavenly thought power! We certainly have cause this birthday to give thanks to the One Who's done great things for us! We're still a revolution! Hallelujah!

22. And I want to thank you‚ too, dear Family, for your faith and obedience to follow. I'm one proud father! You've taken a stand and the Lord's going to bless it in ways you never dreamed possible. As you stay yielded, ready, willing and obedient to do what He tells you to do each day, the explosion is going to hurtle you into your days of performing greater works than all the prophets who have gone before you! And this is all you have to do: Just take it one day at a time, one step at a time, one yieldedness at a time, one obedience at a time, and your Miracle Man will do all the rest!

23. My birthday prayer is that you will all keep the fire of revolution ablaze in your hearts every day. Never let it grow dim or die out! Keep the vision of what you're there for alive and before you at all times. Don't let anything stand in your way, bog you down, or cause you to grow cold and solidify. Keep the revolution alive, active, and burning deep within you.

24. Keep it up, you guys! Keep moving forward! Keep on keeping on! Keep the fires of revolution blazing brightly for the world to see. Keep your eyes on Heaven! Keep'm ahead on the goal. Live in the vision! As I was thinking of our birthday and praying for you, the Lord said clearly, "I have begun a good work in you, David, and what I have begun‚ I will perform to the End—through your children!" Hallelujah! You complete me!

25. So keep taking a militant stand for total commitment. Stay revolutionary, dropped out‚ not conformed to or entangled with the affairs of the world. Keep forsaking all every day! Keep living the Law of Love. Stay close to each other, working together, united in visions and goals, building a whole new society—God's society, His Kingdom on Earth! Keep proclaiming the truth, keep preaching the Word He's given you, keep activating the world, keep calling on the keys, keep revolutionizing the Earth, keep advancing on all fronts!

26. We're still a revolution! Hallelujah! Are you with me? Why not take some time during your birthday festivities to sing and shout and praise Jesus for the revolution! Happy birthday, dear Family! Thank you for fulfilling my dreams. Thank you for being yielded and obedient to His call—to finish what He began through little ol' me, for being His Endtime witnesses, His mouthpieces, His hands and feet and face to the world. I love you! It's still a revolution—for Jesus! XXXXXXX! (End of message from Dad.)
