—Where 100 Children witnessed mightily to thousands!
1. MAY THE LORD HELP US TO STICK TO THE VIOLENCE OF HIS SPIRIT, and destroy the lies with the flame of His mouth and the Words of His truth! Help us not to fight with carnal weapons, but with spiritual weapons—the horrors that are behind those God-damned buildings—and those God-damned zombies who call themselves Americans—they're anti-Christ—anti-human—fiends and devils!
2. I'M PICKIN'EM OFF IN THE WAY THAT HURTS THEM MOST! I'm picking off their children for the Lord [winning the kids to serve Jesus as full-time disciples]! When they get to the point they don't deserve us any more, God may let'em slaughter us! The parents have filled 'em so full of houses and cars and education and all that shit—it's like making them eat their father's dung!—And now the kids want to kill 'em for it! May God deliver me from being around these Systemites! Samuel picked up the sword and hewed Agag in pieces. Elijah slew the 400 prophets of Baal. Gideon picked up his 300 men and just destroyed the army of the Midianites! And I'm almost afraid of what I could do to some of these anti-Christ fiends—these wolves who tear our lambs—if I were sufficiently provoked! I can understand how those poor radicals must feel! If we had our choice, we're more their friends than the God-damned System's! I would have made a helluva Communist! Thank the Lord I am a Christian‚ of I'd have been out there leading the wrong people! I hate to think of the damage I might have done! (Tongues): "I thank thee, O God, Thou hast snatched me as a brand from the burning, that would have destroyed many, rather than bring life!"
3. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THOSE VIOLENT REVOLUTIONARIES—they are so outnumbered, I'm afraid they're going to be wiped out! They cannot destroy the LIE by destroying what the LIE has created‚ because the LIE is the Spirit of Antichrist—a spiritual force of evil that is invisible‚ but which has created the visible evil System. We have to shoot the LIE down by God's Spirit!
4. WHAT DID GOD MEAN WHEN HE TOLD JEREMIAH TO ROOT OUT AND DESTROY? Of course, He didn't mean physically!—Our weapons are not carnal, but mighty to the tearing down of strongholds! We have to destroy the God-damned lies behind it all—but you can't do that with physical force.—Only by the Word of His Truth and the Power of the Spirit, hitting then where it really hurts! The violent radicals would rather burn down buildings than destroy those lies, because they don't know what makes the System tick!
5. LOOK HOW GOD IS SHOWING THE VIOLENT REVOLUTIONARIES WHO WE ARE and what we are‚ and that His Word is more powerful than a gun or a bomb. (Prays:) Thy Word in the hands of a Jerry Rubin! ... Whew! (Tongues: ) He could be like one of the mightiest of the men of David! This is not impossible! Thou art able! The decision is up to him! Thou art giving him the choice! (Jerry had been witnessed to by our kids at the Festival). Thank You for the Sword of Thy Spirit. Thy armour is the only real armour. He was all shot down and fractured from the experiences he has been through. The Festival was a disappointment!
6. THEY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE THING WENT SO HAYWIRE! It was because of the presence of Thy Spirit in Thy Children! Those devils couldn't carry on in the presence of God! We absolutely destroyed the very atmosphere of that place, and the devils had to flee from the camp of the Saints—and it just destroyed the power of the Enemy, and the field was left with Thy victorious Saints!—And they came through victorious and won the Battle! The little band of Thy Children went down there and made all those devils run! Our dances were just too powerful! The drawing of Thy Spirit was more powerful than the driving of theirs! Our magic was bigger than their magic! They were trying to create an evil spiritual atmosphere—an absolute convention of demons and devils—and we just came in there and ruined the whole thing! I'm so happy!—We've won another battle!
7. (TONGUES:) I HAVE HAD MERCY ON THIS GENERATION, and I have had this mercy through thee, My David, sending out searchers—hunting them out of the hills and the rocks and the crags and the dens and the caves of the earth. (Jeremiah 16:16) ... It's your floodtide... The stubborn rocks, obstacles, and logs that would stop us—help us around them, or remove them!
8. (TONGUES:) MANY ARE THE BLESSINGS wherewith I have blessed My Servant David! Read Ezekiel 34:11–16 again! God is using us, His Children today, to do this, as in Jeremiah 16:16, in all the dark places of the earth where His Little Lambs are lost.
