Something to ponder:
At Grace Chapel of Southgate Probably in (1966 ) or 1967 - what would occur - was made known - no less than 15 years - before it came about. When the church was yet but a hand full of people, this was spoken.
What was spoken - would have been recorded on reel to reel - for it was spoken - before the days of the cassette recordings.
I was present at Grace Chapel - in Southgate - in 1966 or 1967 - when John was standing in the pulpit and saw a vision of the future and spoke prophetically concerning all he was seeing - - of the day when he would not be leading the church, and it was shown to John, that a very young man, too young to have the responsibility for the church, was leading the church, instead of John leading the church - and this young man was leading the church astray, off the tracks and away from God. And being shown this - John cried out to the Lord, for the church because the church was suffering all kinds of sufferings as a result of this young man leading the church astray and these sufferings John said , were far reaching - even beyond the church - because the church was being led astray. And the answer - I saw and heard John receive and say - was that a little child would lead them and that God would cause all things to work together for good, for those who loved God and were called according to His purposes.
( My reference and understanding at this time - To be as a little child.)
Jesus explained to His own disciples', When a truth is very difficult to receive - the only way one can receive that truth, is if one receives the truth - as a child.
I believe Jesus was talking about grown men/women - who already have fixed in their minds what they believe to be truth - fixed - believing that which is not the truth or not of the truth - and only by opening their hearts and minds, like a child ( are they enabled to receive ) - that which is the truth.
As a point of reference - as we here , have discussed and expressed in many different ways - we know that the mistreatment of the members of the church for any reason - is not of the Lord. We now know and understand ourselves - that destroying ( for religious purposes ) the relationship of those who are married - is not of the Lord. And we know that cutting off ( for religious purposes ) the relationship that is to exist between parents and their children and children and their parents , whether the children be young or grown - is not of the Lord. And we know that controlling the lives and the will of the members of the church ( for religious purposes ) is not of the Lord. Can these truths, also be received by the members of TLWF ?
See In Isaiah 11: 1-11 ..... a little child shall lead them... See how it is that they will not hurt or destroy.
