TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF THE FAMILY INTERNATIONAL
Hi. I just wanted to share some things that were on my heart with you. First of all, there is nothing to fear. I am not a
backslider intent on harming The Family.
Why I even said that is because I remember when I was in The Family and I heard about former members who had different opinions
about the Bible than what we learned in The Family, I was told that they were bad news and out to destroy my faith.
I was told that they were of the devil, and that Satan was using them to try to lead Family members astray.
First of all, I am not trying to destroy anyone’s faith. If anything, I am trying to encourage you to live your faith,
your heritage, from the Bible.
I am trying to increase the level of your faith by telling you that God is real, Jesus is real, and the Holy Spirit is real.
The spirit world is real, and the Bible, God’s Word, is the number one weapon we have to fight the fiery darts of the
enemy.
I’m not trying to destroy anyone’s faith. I hope you live your faith. I hope you live for Jesus, and win others
to Him and be the best missionaries you can be.
I’ve seen many of your blogs you have on the Internet. You are in touch with each other and have close friendships with
each other and that is important.
Some of you young couples are just starting out in your relationships with each other, as a new married couple. You will be
having children, and learning how to raise them.
I want to encourage you to live your faith, that is in the word of God , the Bible, and make your marriage vows with every
intent to keep them as it says “Until death do we part” .
For many many years I worked hard pioneering, witnessing, selling, busking, night singing, teaching, childcare, and many other
ministries.
I'm a bit tired of doing all that now. For 35 years I did it. Never worked in an office home or leadership home, but always
out on the front lines, for 35 years.
That's more than a career! That's a life time! I haven't retired from the spiritual war , though, only from the main stream
full time face to face street battle.(I still do go out on the streets, but not full time)
Well, about you guys who are just starting out your youthful relationships,....There was this element of loyalty to your mate
that seemed to get lost in The Family among the First Generation. As more and more Mo Letters came out about God’s Law
of Love, FFing, and Sharing your mate, I saw many marriages break up, including my own.
We were told that the unbelieving mate was just not strong enough spiritually to take it. We were encouraged to leave out
mates and children back in the States, or out in the system, and forsake all or we were told we didn’t love Jesus and
could not be His disciple.
Many of the young people in The Family grew up not knowing one of their flesh parents. Many grew up with a step mom or dad,
while their real mom or dad was out of The Family back in the system working for “Mammon”.
There were situations that resulted in step dads or childcare workers, or the third mate in a threesome having sex with the
children of their mate. This caused much hurt and confusion, fear and trauma among the children who were subjected to this.
There were also those who have spent some time in prison for these offences, and are now registered with the government as
a child sex offender.
There are young people still in The Family International who have never met their biological father. This I know for a fact.
There are young people still in The Family International who have felt rejected by their flesh father, and have been refused
a meeting with them.
I hope and pray that none of you will ever have to experience what a lot of us first generation adults had to with marriage
in The Family.
I pray that you will find total satisfaction in your marriage relationships, and remember that God made you for each other
and there is something special and sacred about that. It's not just a sexual fling, and then after a few years familiarity
sets in and you want a separation.
It's a lot more than that, and I wish that I had learned those values when I was young, and if we had, I know many things
would have been different and there would have been a lot less hurt.
If anything, I admire what I have read on many of your blogs and My Conclusion.com to stand up for your faith and defend your
way of life. That is commendable for people of your age.
You, of all people, deserve to know the truth, as you have a fervor and desire to live for it.
I left The Family International because I felt it no longer represented the truths that I had first joined for. I felt those
had been long forsaken for newer things.
In The Family we were told that The Bible was not as important as what God is saying now, in the Mo Letters and GNs, and you
had better read that first of you are going to be left behind.
Well, the Good News is still there in The Bible. It hasn’t gone anywhere. The Bible is still the number one superior
word of God, and that is what all prophecy should be examined with. If it isn’t according to the already written word
of God, the Bible, if it does not harmonize with the already written down Word of God, then it is NOT the Word of God.
When Jesus faced Satan in the wilderness, Satan came against Jesus in His physically weak condition after having fasted for
40 days.
There was Jesus, the Son of God, at war with the Devil, Satan himself, and Jesus could have knocked him for a loop. There
was the chance of a lifetime! Jesus could have finished Satan off for good if He wanted to, and I am sure He thought about
it.
He could have called all the legions of heaven and made mincemeat out of Satan and that would have been the end of the whole
issues right there, but He didn’t.
Instead Jesus reverted to the most powerful weapon in the universe, the word of God. He quoted it right to the Devil, right
in his face. He said “IT IS WRITTEN:
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”. Jesus was not only showing
His faith in the written Word of God, but He was also declaring Himself a MAN, human. God with skin on.
That stopped Satan’s temptation right there. Next Satan said “Hmm, I can play this game too”. So he commenced
to quote a scripture to Jesus. You see, Satan knows the word very well, too, and can quote it in a perverted way, any time
he needs to, and this is what leads many Christians astray today even.
He took Jesus to the top of the pinnacle of the temple, the highest place in the city, and dared him to throw himself down
to prove He was the Son of God. After all, Satan quoted “For it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning
thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.”
Jesus , by this time must have been getting quite upset at Satan for his persistence, but for all good graces only stuck to
the word again and said “It is written, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God” In other words, He was declaring
Himself as God!
Satan still would not give up. He wasn’t getting anywhere so he stopped quoting the Word and resorted to his own reasoning
and nature, and took Jesus up to a high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, past present
and future, and said “All these things will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me”
Now we see his true colors! All along he wanted Jesus to worship him. So what does Jesus do? He was probably laughing at Satan
when He said this, because all He did was quote another one of the 10 commandments “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God and Him only shalt thou serve”
You can find this story , by the way , in Matthew 4.
Jesus was in Satan’s face telling him, “Listen, buddy, I am God and YOU are the one who needs to be worshipping
ME! Not Me YOU!
Jesus was a gentleman, and showed great grace. He didn’t even have to rebuke the devil. Satan, after that, gave up and
left him.
Let me tell you that The Word of God is the most powerful force on the face of the Earth! We know not what awesome power is
contained in each and every Word of God!
It was the Word of God that Mary received in her heart when the angel came to her to announce the birth of Jesus. It was all
of the Messianic prophecies from the Old Testament that combined at that time in Mary’s heart, as a seed. The word seed
used in the gospels comes from the Greek word sperma, which literally means “sperm”! YOU can see that if you look
it up in a Greek concordance.
What did Jesus say in Luk 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD! All that ancient Word of God, all those prophecies coming to fruition in Mary’s heart was
the sperma or seed that was quickened to her by the Holy Spirit, and was what caused Mary to conceive Jesus! No I do not believe
that God or the angel fucked her as we were taught in by David Berg. That is a Mormon doctrine and is totally false!
Do you know how much power is in a seed? Recently archaeologists found some ancient seeds in a pyramid in Egypt that were
a few thousand years old. They were completely dried up, but seemed to be preserved. They put them in a seedling container
with some water, and soon they sprouted! Seeds that had been dead for 4 thousand years sprouted to life again after all that
time!
This is exactly the same thing that happened to those ancient prophecies about the Messiah. 333 of them, long forgotten and
seemingly dead. They were gathered into one small , but very powerful seed and the word of God was spoken to Mary by the angel,
and it says, “ Let it be dome unto me according to thy word” . Right at that moment she received the Words of
God into her heart, and that Word of God became the seed or sperm that caused Mary to conceive and bear Jesus Christ the Son
of God!
Not to mention how through the power of the Word of God Jesus, and His disciples were able to cast out devils, heal the sick,
do miracles and even raise the dead!
They had no paraphernalia, tricks, gimmicks, magic show, tools, weapons, or machines. All they had was the Word of God and
applied it in the Spirit of God, and BOOM!
The Word of God is powerful enough, and needs no help! I lift up the Word above all else! I urge you to read my articles on
this web site I wrote about Why I Study the Bible, and others as I believe they will really help you. I am not trying to condemn
anyone, only encourage you to read and believe the word of God and you will see the miracles you desire.
You cannot put your faith in any other Word, even prophecy, visions, dreams or revelations, if it is not The Word Of God and
does not harmonize with The Bible.
I believe in hearing the voice of God. “My Sheep Hear My Voice, and I know them and they follow Me” If you are
His sheep, you DO hear His voice! We just don’t always recognize it. God can speak to you in many hundreds of different
ways, and usually will speak to you in a language and terms you understand.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t speak in King James English, unless He is quoting you a verse from the KJV Bible. God can speak
to you any way He chooses, He even spoke to Balaam through an ass! He spoke to the big fish that swallowed up Jonas! He spoke
to the ravens that brought Elijah food! He spoke to the brook that dried up.
He spoke to little Samuel, and many others. He spoke to Gideon through a fleece. He spoke through the sun, moon and stars.
He speaks to you in everything that happens to you all day.
But God will never ever speak to you contrary to His Word, as “It is written”
Well, you are probably getting bored of this, so thanks for taking time to read this, and I hope it did something to increase
your faith in the Word of God.
I would like to speak a blessing over you all, whoever you are and wherever you are, whatever you are doing. That you will
know the Love of God, that passes all understanding, and it’s height, length, depth, and have the peace of God in your
hearts about the future and not fear.
I speak a blessing that the truth will prevail in your hearts, and that you will have fruitful unions. I would also like to
pray that your marriage relationships will be protected from any harm or destruction, that the Holy Spirit will anoint you
with real love for each other, God’s kind of love, that comforts and encourages.
May your lives be blessed and fruitful as possible no mater what. He will keep loving you no matter what you do. He loves
us and speaks to us not because we are lovely, but because He is Love!
Even though He doesn't always necessarily approve of everything we do, He loves us, He even likes us! Don't ever forget! He
will NEVER leave you nor forsake you no matter what you do or anyone says!
Love in Him and prayers,
Charles (formerly Michael Jolly/ Julian)
