The Door To The Father’s House Will Always Remain Open. But The Door To This Era Is About To Close, And With It The Blessings That Come With Being One Of His Called And Chosen
Dad speaking in prophecy: There’s one thing that’s very important to understand. This work that began thousands of years ago cannot be swept under the carpet by Satan and his ballyhoo or by man saying it ain’t necessarily so.
Gamaliel hit the nail right on the head when he said: “Now I say unto you, refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to naught: but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.”
If God wants His message out there, it matters not who or what stands in the way—God’s Word is going to go around them or right over the top of them if they’re not careful.
I’m not here today to deliberate whether this Word is of God or not. I’m with Gamaliel on this: if it’s of man, you needn’t worry; it will come to naught. What I want to know is whether you want to play a part in this great work that actually began thousands of years ago. This is a great time to be here. All the prophets have looked forward to this time—and it doesn’t matter how many of us there are left, because what God is trying to show us is that He’s the One who’s going to do it, not anyone in particular, no great personality, no great plan that someone cooked up. He began this great work, and He’s going to complete it to the end.
I’ve always said that this is a volunteer organization, and that hasn’t changed. Anyone who wants to is welcome to come along with us. But by now you should know that there’s no earthly organization or membership requirements, and there is no leader except One. Everyone has the Words of David—the Seven Thunders—so if you are serious about your discipleship, then it will be the letters that will lead you to the finish line. That’s been the message right from the start; the Lord told us in “For God’s Sake Follow God” how He wanted us to operate. That’s the way it’s been since the Early Church and that’s the way this work of God is going to end. If you think you can drag a bunch of uncommitted church goers up this mountain and over the line, you’re wrong, because that’s not the way God works.
Yes, the organization was necessary back then in order to fulfill certain scriptural requirements to bring on the End. But once that job was done, and the Maria shall shine days were completed, and everyone had all that was needed to reach the goal of bringing in the final harvest, then Jesus came along and burnt down the old (Video) structure just to make sure everyone was certain that it was all over, and that a new day had begun.
This is not about reorganizing ourselves, starting up another group of disciples or rallying around an earthly leader, this is about following the Word by listening to what the Word is saying to you personally. The old structure was burnt down and all that’s left is the Word. If you’ve thrown the ballast of the Word out, then you need to get it back into your ship because there are some very stormy days ahead.
No one should be telling you how to live your life or how you should interpret the Word. You should know enough about the Spirit by now to be able to recognize when She’s speaking to you. You’ve got the best Word in the world. No one can come close to understanding what you understand when it comes to serving Jesus and living your life for Him. It’s all there in the Words of David and Maria, and if it’s not there, well, the Bible and the Words of David have taught you how to find it (PDF). You shouldn’t make one more step without first hearing from Jesus on how He wants you to take it.
Of course, I want this Word you are reading or listening to to challenge you to climb higher and to reach your destiny, to be all God wants you to be. I know the Word can be very convicting, and I know it can leave you feeling as though you have no choice. I know it can leave you feeling like you’ll be a failure if you don’t follow what God is asking of you through it.
Well, as I said, no one can tell you how you should live your life. But I do feel it’s my responsibility to tell you—in fact, I know the Spirit is pressing me to tell you—that if you don’t follow what the Spirit is telling you in the Word, whether in the written or living Word, you will one day regret your decision.
What else can I say that has not already been said in the MO letters? What else can be said but what has already been said in the Maria letters? The instruction and training are there. It is your choice as to how closely you’ll follow; it’s your choice what you are going to do with the Word. I had conviction about what I believed I was called to do and be. My personal conviction came through reading the Word and listening to the Spirit of the Word.
At the end of your life, all that you will hold in your hand is how faithful you were in following what Jesus showed you to do through His Word. Most people don’t like reading the Word because it tells them to do things they don’t particularly want to do. If you’ve learned anything from the Word, you should know by now that it’s not about what you want, but what God wants. So if you choose to be His servant, then He expects you to be the very best you can be. He expects you to be faithful and diligent and loyal, and if you are, then He’s promised to reward you. And if you aren’t, then you’ll suffer the regret of someone who knows they should have done this thing, but didn’t.
I’m not telling you anything that’s not already been said. So it’s all a matter of allowing the Word into your life so that it has a chance to cleanse you and renew any old circuits that may need replacing. This is certainly a new day, and Jesus is looking for those disciples who are willing to listen and then obey what they hear, no matter the consequence. If you’ve heard from Jesus and have the conviction that it is His voice you are hearing, then it doesn’t matter what other people say or do; you are going to follow that still small voice.
So now we’re going to read some Word from the Infostore [Download link in Our Wine Cellar]. You may have read some of these letters; I certainly hope you have. Because it’s this Word that gives you the conviction you need to live the life of faith you’ve now been asked to live. You decided—or rather, your parents decided—that they wanted to give the Words of David and Maria one more try, one last chance. They wanted to at least be able to say at the end of their lives that they honestly tried to live the Words of God. They saw in the Words of David a way to live their faith.
As I said earlier, no one can dictate to you how you are going to live your life, not the Word of God and not the system. But in the end, you have to follow one or the other, or else you are going to run amok. If you think you can live the life of a disciple by just reading your Bible, then go ahead. If you think the church system or TFI is the way to go, then you are free to follow your faith. If you think the system has the answer, then there’s the door.
But if you are convinced of what your parents are convinced of, then you know who the Leader is. Now I don’t want to put my finger on the scales; nevertheless, having lived the faith life most, if not all, of my life, I know you will not find better Word anywhere than right here where you are. Not only that, but you are with people who aren’t just talking about living the life of faith; they are putting their faith into action.
You have to be absolutely, one hundred percent sure that what you are doing is right, and the only way to do that is to read the right Word, the Word that teaches you how to live what you want to live. (End of message from Dad)
MB: We are reading from a suggested list in “So You Want to be a Disciple—Then For God’s Sake be the Best” paragraph 12, and also from other letters gleaned in a Word search on discipleship.
Seven Ways to Know God’s Will (PDF)
59. HOW TO FIND THE WILL OF GOD? SURRENDER YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, that ye may know what is that good & acceptable will of God. Be not conformed to this world & its systems & its usual way of doing things, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind–not the old way, if you’re going to accomplish anything! (Romans 12:1-2.)
60. “THAT YE MAY KNOW”–YOU’LL KNOW! THERE’LL BE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! If you do something without knowing it’s God’s will, it’s sin! “For whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” (Romans 14:23.)
4. I’LL TELL YOU, IT’S ALL THERE, ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. I am just repeating over and over again the things I’ve said before, except for a few new revelations from God, and HE’S just repeating again the things that HE said before. Sometimes He gives a little more light on a subject to help us understand something better, but it’s already there in the BIBLE or the MO BOOKS!
5. HOW CAN YOU SAY “I CAN’T HEAR FROM GOD”? HE’S GOT IT ALL WRITTEN DOWN!–Why can’t you hear! If you can’t HEAR, for God’s sake, READ it!
6. IN THE BIBLE OR THE MO LETTERS THERE’S AN ANSWER TO PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING you need to know and every answer on every subject. The MO LETTERS are a SUPPLEMENT to the Bible. They were never intended to take the PLACE of the Bible. The Bible is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Book, the ORIGINAL recorded Word!
7. THE MO LETTERS ARE SIMPLY TO HELP EXPLAIN THE BIBLE to you or to SUPPLEMENT the Bible. They’re there to give you some LATER information, because a LOT of things have CHANGED since those days.
8. GOD’S STILL ALIVE. HE’S STILL TALKING! Things aren’t like they were in MOSES’ day, they’re not even like they were in PAUL’S day. God’s trying to tell you what to do TODAY–NOW according to THESE conditions and THESE people!
9. GOD GAVE IT TO ME FOR YOUR SAKE, TO TEACH A WHOLE NEW GENERATION TO BE A WHOLE NEW CULTURE, A NEW NATION! We had to cast aside the OLD System, the OLD way, to do things God’s NEW way. ( See also “Ask Me Everything Part 2 (PDF)“)
48. Jesus speaking: Behold, this day I send Michael to light the fuse of My Spirit to ignite your fire–that the white-hot heat of My Spirit may consume the garments of unnecessary apparel, the weights that hold My children down, so that My ardent passion may burn brightly in your hearts to carry you on and up to higher ground and greater victories day by day as you yield to Me!
49. Shedding the unnecessary apparel signifies the utmost in yielding to Me. It is symbolic of shedding anything that would hold My children back from doing My highest will, be it besetting sins or other weights—your own desires, your own thoughts, your own ideas, your own ways, your own time, your own pleasure—all the weights, whatever they may be that would hold you back.
50. Shed the weights! Cast them in the fire and let the white-hot heat of My love burn them away! Cast in the burdens, the weights, the things that have held you back. Throw them in, each one, and let the refining fires of My Spirit wipe them all away!
51. Therefore, come and shed the weights, and let the white-hot heat of My love melt away the darkness! Rally round and be renewed in My vibrant, fiery, ardent love, that I might warm you and fill you and cause you to shine! Come and be renewed in the power of love, that you might receive My seeds and bring forth fruit. For only I am able to warm your hearts and melt you together in My love. Only I am able to chase away the doubts, fears and hurts, the coldness and the lurking shadows of yesteryear. Therefore, come and rally round the white-hot burning fire of My love this day, and be warmed and filled and suited in your armor for the battles ahead.
1. SOMEBODY ONCE SAID, “YOU ARE WHAT YOU READ.” It’s like the old saying about health, “You are what you eat,” physically. Well, you are what you read, mentally and spiritually. I can just about tell you where you’re at spiritually by what you’re reading the most.
2. HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU’RE SEEKING FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD if you spend most of your time reading other books instead of the Word of God? Think it over. You are what you read & what you’re hungry for, so be sure you’re getting your right spiritual food.
3. YOU CAN DEVELOP A PERVERTED APPETITE IN READING BY OVER-READING THE WRONG THINGS, no matter how good or useful or interesting. You can develop a perverted appetite for it that increases the more you read that way, just like if you eat the wrong foods.
4. BEFORE I WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT I READ ALL KINDS OF BOOKS. I was a voracious reader! I looked forward to summertime when I could spend all day in the water & all night reading, & I read books, books, books, books, books!
5. THANK GOD THEY WERE MOSTLY GOOD BOOKS, all very interesting, & in almost anything you read there’s something good. There was even something good about the first knowledge the Devil ever gave Adam & Eve!–But there was an awful hell of a lot of evil in it too! You are what you read, & what you like to read most.
6. I HOPE THAT YOU ARE GETTING YOUR SPIRITUAL FOOD & INSPIRATION, because you are what you read. If you like to read the Word of God best, then that shows you love the Word of God, & you would rather hear from the Lord than anybody.
The Weakness Revolution–Pt.1 (PDF)
How to Stay Hot and Not Cool Off!
69. Jesus speaking: I can only use those who choose to be used, who open themselves up to Me and who put their whole hearts into the work that I have given them to do. These are the ones who accomplish My will. These are the ones that I can pour My inspiration through.
70. As you abide in the Word, as you imbibe My Spirit, as you commune with Me, as you hear My voice, as you make love to Me, so do you receive the inspiration, the strength, the power, and the ideas. So do you have life. But if you do not do these things, then you die a slow death. For instead of being white-hot, you begin to cool, and the cooling soon turns into freezing and into death.
71. That’s why it’s so important to stay in the forefront, to receive, to believe, and to act upon My Words, the New Wine, the new day, so that you can move forward with the white-hot fire of My Spirit! (End of message from Jesus.) [Download Part 2 (PDF) Part 3 (PDF)]
6. Dad: I know you kids have heard all of your lives that you’ve gotta watch out for movies, that you’ve gotta watch out what you feed your spirit, you’ve gotta watch out what you feed your soul. I’ve been telling you that for a long time. I explained a lot of that in “You Are What You Read”. I’ve said a little bit here and there about the dangers of movies. Maybe some of you folks just don’t realize the magnitude of the problem, or perhaps you don’t even realize what a big effect movies have on you.
7. Maybe you don’t realize what a big influence movies can have in your life—and not just in your life, but in everyone’s life. Movies have a huge impact on the whole world. Movies and TV change people’s minds, and I would even venture to say they brainwash the multitudes. I mean, people accuse us of brainwashing, but I’d say that movies are brainwashing at its highest possible state!
8. Movies basically hammer into you ideals, morals, standards and conclusions that are, sad to say, in most cases totally contrary to the way the Lord wants you to think, to be, to act and to live. If you really think about it, I think you’d see that many movies actually put down, minimize, degrade, and even make fun of most of the things in life that are good and Godly—even the simple yet enjoyable things of life.
9. I guess the easiest way to explain the influence of movies would be to go point by point and share how they can affect you in different areas of your life, or influence you in how you think about different morals or standards or ideas of the world…
Don’t Get Caught in the Web (PDF)
4. Dad speaking: The Internet is like a magnet, and it’s got an almost hypnotic drawing power (Audio). It sucks in and draws in everything that comes close to it. It’s like a magnet that pulls those who aren’t strong in the Word or the Lord into its center of knowledge. Even those who are strong in the Lord need to watch out, because the pull is so strong. It’s like trying to pull apart two heavy-duty magnets that are drawn to each other!
5. The Web is a tangled mass of confusion that the Enemy has spun in order to catch his prey—just like a spider spins its web and waits for a passersby to get stuck in it, and thus they’re no longer just a passersby, but they’re lunch! The spider doesn’t hesitate to gobble the insect up, because that’s the spider’s whole purpose—to catch its prey. And so it is with the Enemy’s web—his whole design is to catch the passersby, the browsers, those who get stuck in this web of idolatry.
6. Oh yes, the Web is beautiful, just like a spider’s web that shines in the sun. There may even be nice juicy drops of dew that rest upon the strands and shine like diamonds. But this is only a facade. This is only the lure to attract you into the clutches of the Web. There may be nice fun things on the Internet, and these things attract you and draw you in, but once you’re in, the pull is like a magnet that’s almost too strong for you to humanly pull away from. Once you’re in, you’re stuck, and pretty soon the Enemy’s going to have you for lunch!
7. You start off very casually. You’re interested in the knowledge, in the easy accessibility of the facts, stories, and goodies that are contained in this massive Web, but you don’t stop there. You go on, you explore, you search deeper and lust after the knowledge of the world—that which has been carefully guarded from you young people during your life, because your caretakers knew of the dangers lurking within these dangerous vices and devices of the Devil. You dig deeper and deeper and fill your mind with polluting pornography or perverted sex, ungodly attitudes about love and marriage, witchcraft, communicating with evil spirits, the occult, and much, much more. You’ll find it wasting your Word time, robbing your witnessing time and destroying your conviction! Once you’ve stepped into the Web, there’s no limit to the dung of the Enemy that’ll come flying your way!
8. Sometimes even the so-called good stuff, articles from other Christians or religious leaders, can be dangerous. I’m not saying that it’s evil, but if it’s something that causes you to water down your convictions and doubt our Family doctrines, beliefs and lifestyle, then it’s bad for you! It’s brackish water from a tainted well and it’ll make you sick in the end. Or even if it doesn’t make you sick, if you try to get your spiritual nourishment from it, you’re gonna wind up getting malnourished!
MB: This “so called good stuff” is what finally got Peter A.—he was not only reading it himself, but he eventually began suggesting we ingest that dung. You can read it yourself in the Reboot letters—if you can’t take my word for it.
9. You can’t just feed yourself with worldly knowledge and wisdom and not suffer for it too. It’s the same temptation the Devil used with Eve—fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Well, the Serpent’s fruit and knowledge is all evil. It may seem pleasant to the eyes and sweet to the taste, but if you walk the path of man’s wisdom without seeking the Lord, you’ll find it is foolishness in the end. It’s a subtle deceit, these words of men. You absorb more and more of them, and after a while you start wondering why you need to live and love and believe the way you do. They eat away at your foundation and your structure little by little, like termites do in a house, unseen. And before you know it, the house just collapses!
10. This web of worldly knowledge clouds your mind and goes to work right away to change your thought patterns. It’s like you’re literally linked to the computer and it goes to work on you and it starts to control you. You alone will no longer completely control what you think and feel, and the Lord no longer completely controls what you think and feel–the computer controls what you think and feel! And, if you keep it up, eventually you no longer own the computer or the Internet, but the computer and the Internet will own you and it will control you! Remember Huddersfield! Only this time, the goal is complete takeover. This time, the Devil’s not gonna be content to only own a small corner of your Huddersfield–he wants it all! You start out entering into a joint ownership, but the computer, the Net, is out to own all of you. It’s not going to stop at having just a small part, but it wants to take over the whole territory! It wants full ownership; it wants to control you! [Go to Part Two]
22. Jesus speaking: What are the fruits of the Words that I have given to Maria and Peter? What have those Words done in your lives? Yes, some people have rejected the Words and have felt that they weren’t good words, and they have claimed, “These Words have hurt me!” But the problem is not with the Words; it is the lack of receptivity of the readers. For the fruit of the Words, the fruit of the instruction that have given has been good.
23. There are those who claim, as if they were an authority on the matter or had some special knowledge, that the Family’s good works do not result from the Family’s doctrine, from the Word that I have poured out to you. They would claim that your fruit is not the result of the Words that I have given to your David and Maria over the years—the lifeblood of the Family, the sap (PDF) which gives life to the tree—but that this fruit comes solely from you. This is false.
24. You hear My voice, you read My Words, and you know the truth that is contained within them. You feel the spirit of love, My Spirit, which comes through My Words that I speak in prophecy, and you are motivated to do these wonderful things. If that were not the case, then most of the people who depart would continue to bring forth the fruit they did while they were in the Family—winning souls, changing lives, distributing the message, lifting Me up.
25. It’s not just the personal motivation (PDF) of you in the Family that causes the good fruit, but it’s My Word that motivates you, that gives you the faith, vision, courage and initiative. It’s My message that lights the fire in your hearts, that gives you the willingness to sacrifice and live a life for Me, a life of giving to others. As your David said, when someone cuts off their lifeline, the Word, it’s as if they’re turning away from the pillar of light, and they begin to grow dark and cold. It doesn’t mean that they don’t have some light, some truth; but because of their decisions they’re not able to receive the full truth, the full light.
MB: It is a very big mistake getting your eyes off the Word and think it’s coming from your own personal motivation. That’s what “The Tree” is all about. Originally it was about system kings, but the reality is, there was a double layer embedded deep in that MO letter. That second layer was the final fulfillment, and it came at the time of the Reboot, when M&P said that the Words of David were not divine—”BUT YOU SEE, HIS ONE BIG MISTAKE IS—AND THIS IS ALWAYS THE MISTAKE OF KINGS—THAT HE LITERALLY FORGETS GOD IN THE PICTURE AND HE GETS HIS EYES ON THE PROPHET AND THE PEOPLE, and to him the Prophet really no longer represents the Word of the Lord! He gets his eyes on the man instead of the mouth, and he no longer sees God in the Prophet, and so he no longer feels compelled to obey or submit: “This is just a man anyway!—Why should I obey him?—He’s just a man!”—Which is true: The Prophet is nobody without the Lord.” (The Tree (PDF))
26. Let no man dissuade you, for I say straight is the way and narrow is the gate, and few there be that go in thereat. You are different; you are chosen and I feed you My Words, special Words, Words I do not speak to others. I give you truths that you can receive, that you can use in your life, truths that others cannot believe because they choose not to believe, because they are closed-minded, closed-hearted, and bound by the traditions of man and the false doctrines and interpretations of the churches. They have taken upon themselves again the yoke of bondage that your David had freed you from.
27. I have set you free! You are My free children. You are they who revel in My Word, who believe My Word, who are willing to live My Word, and who are open to all that I wish to pour out to you. These who fight against you in this way, who feel they are doing God’s service, wish to put you under the same bondage they are under. “Oh,” they say, “you cannot be so free in the bed of love (PDF) with your Husband, Jesus.” They say it because they are not free. “Oh, you cannot hear from those that have passed on, from those in the spirit world.” They say it because they are not free enough to believe it and to receive it.
28. I say unto you, where My Spirit is, there is freedom, and the more of My Spirit which is present, the more freedom there is! My Spirit is heavy upon you, My children of David, and you are free. And whom I have set free is free indeed. You are free spiritually, physically and sexually; you are free from the bonds of the System, from the bonds of the churches (Audio), because you are My children.
29. Don’t let these who would bind you to their limited mindsets have sway over you, for they seek to bind. Be not bound, for you are free! You are free because of the Words I have given to you, and you are clean through the Words that I have given to you. You are motivated through the Words that I have given to you, and you are full of love and light and truth and joy and happiness because of the Words that I have given to you. You have strength to fight the battles, to move forward, to defeat the Enemy because of the Words that I have given to you.
