More Family hot air. Offensive peetering out already

Posted by on December 13, 2009 at 06:43:58

The quote at the bottom was just passed on to me by a highly disillusioned member of the highest level (FD), ready to contemplate an exit after almost 40 years of being hood-winked..

100 Mo-letters later (they’re now on # 3810) another powerful dose of The Emperor’s New Clothing Syndrome as administered by Maria in this letter, has proven to be just that: A bunch of hot air and a bunch of desperately naked people running around pretending they’re attired in gowns of royalty!

Nothing has really happened 100 MLs later. No “spectacular miracles”, no “growth that defies the odds”, nobody “broke through any barriers in the spiritual and physical realm” and certainly no outstanding of supply, healing, protection, change, growth, and deliverance – that we didn’t have the faith for before the Offensive”!

The truth is, they’ve lost more members, remaining members still are dead-poor, still dying of cancer, still tired and fatigued, having deadly accidents, homes are still ravaged by disunity and jealousy, there’s just a handful of FD (highest level) homes left in the world and they’re now trying to divert attention away from the dismal failure of the Offensive by focusing on the “Change Journey”.

I guess that’s what denial is all about in the classical sense of the word.

I pity them!

(Mama:) Now it’s time to take our use of the spiritual weapons further.
We’ve been using these weapons in our personal lives, in our Homes, and in
our work— including in our witnessing and other ministries—to some degree.
Now it’s time to take spiritual weapon usage to the maximum. It’s time to
make them a basic ingredient of our witnessing and winning, to weave them
into every aspect of our follow-up, feeding, teaching and training. It’s time
to “show our stuff” and see what these weapons can really do! We’ve been
training and practicing and we’ve seen how they work, but now the Lord is
going to really pull out all the stops. It’s His time. It’s all part of His plan. We
are going to see clearly and explicitly how our professional and proactive
use of the weapon of prayer paved the way for spectacular miracles— how
it lined up pivotal happenings that changed everything. We’re going to see
growth as a Family that defies the odds, as a result of our obedience to the
Lord’s specific words of prophecy. We’re going to see how through practicing
praise, including extreme praise, we were able to break through barriers in
the spiritual and physical realms that would have been impassable otherwise.
We’re going to see a lot of outright miracles— of supply, healing, protection,
change, growth, and deliverance— that we didn’t have the faith for before
the Offensive.
