The following study, I am ashamed to say, was done by my own church in the midst of a controversy about ORDAINED WOMEN PASTORS. The top scholars (Doctorates) got together and THOROUGHLY studied the Scriptures to find out (once and for all) what the Scriptures had to say about the role of the female in ministry. They also systematically studied our own church for what IT had based its decisions on down through the years.

What they discovered was shocking and of great dismay to them. They could not find a SINGLE instance where the modern order of things were found in EITHER Scripture or OUR OWN writings. The practice of laying on of hands in ordaining ministers were found to be a TOTALLY PAGAN PRACTICE. All instances of ministry were for a specific period only and then the CALL came to an end. There were NO instances of lifelong ministries through the use of Pastors, Reverends, Priests, nor any other kind of ministers. This practice later became developed under apostate situations and Pagan influence.

In spite of this major discovery, their conclusion (my own church) was that "Oh well. That's just how we do things today." This clearly teaches that NO MAN is to be our LEADER and that each of us is answerable only to God the
Father. If we base our beliefs and practices upon what we are TAUGHT rather than by personal relationship with our God, we run the distinct possibility of being in that group that God tells: "Depart from me, I never knew you."

It is no secret that the world's churches are in crisis. Ask almost any pastor, teacher, reverend priest or minister--the worst problem they have is in marshalling the forces of the church to FINISH THE LAST THINGS. For the last 50 years, the message is the same. We, the Laity, must CORPORATELY receive the "latter rain", be infused with the Power Promised, and to go out in perfect unity to give the final warnings to the world.

This is NOT happening ANYWHERE, although there are a few here and there who are attempting to do so. According to all Scripture and to all of our own writings, This is NOT a top-down approach. This comes from the bottom-up by those who are NOT TRAINED by literary institutions--taught by none other than the "unction of the Holy Spirit." It is not the leadership which takes the heat on this. They are abandoning their positions as watchmen on the walls of Zion--and we must take their place. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET WARNED BY ANYONE OF THE ACTUAL DANGERS YOU FACE. If you do not get these "unctions" by way of your relationship with the Godhead, you have little chance of perservering to the end.

There IS a preparation plan.

There IS a power promised.

There IS a COMMISSION.

There IS a timeline.

NONE of it will be accomplished without YOU. God has HIS people in every instance. He has several here. He has MANY here who will step up when the time comes. Before this year is out, it will become much clearer what is required of us. There is much to unlearn and much to relearn. We still have time. The END will NOT come until the Gospel of the Kingdom is preached unto the whole world. THAT is going forward as we speak. Many of you are teaching it whether you realize it or not. This will come from the Father--IS COMING from the Father.
