Now, at last, my urgent petition to God has been ANSWERED.
Now, at last, we begin to realize where the SOURCE OF POWER really
is, in each nation In the United States, for example, the real
SOURCE OF POWER is THE PEOPLE, not the President or Congress. As
I write, many newspapers in the U.S. are saying, "THE PEOPLE will
decide whether the President must resign or stay in office."
So, in the United States, Canada, and Australia, WE BEGAN
GETTING GOD'S MESSAGE, FIRST, TO THE HIGHEST SOURCE OF POWER --
THE COMMON PEOPLE! In these democratic countries, we could
purchase time on radio stations.
Even in countries like Britain, South Africa, Germany,
France, Belgium, Holland, which are democratic countries, the
GOVERNMENT controls radio. We could not get time on radio in any
of these. BUT, we were able partially to get God's Message into
those countries from Radio LUXEMBOURG -- from a small country
beaming its radio across the borders into those countries.
We tried to reach Russia, China, and India from nearby
smaller nations who sold us radio time. But not one of those
really got the Message across.
Five years ago, when I began pouring out this petition
to God in real earnest, two doors opened which led to personal
invitations to meet, first a king, then leading officials in
both the government and the University in Jerusalem. GOD IS
INTERESTED IN JERUSALEM AND HER FUTURE. I was AMAZED at the
astonishing FAVOR God gave me in the eyes of these leaders --
absolute AFFECTION! Then, two years later, invitations began
coming for meetings with more heads-of-states in other countries.
It seemed that one led to others, and the number of such meetings
GREW. I was asked back, and on successive visits, God gave me
favor, standing, and high confidence in the eyes of government
heads.
I said then that I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GOD WAS OPENING
THESE DOORS. But I knew, by the circumstances, and by the
unbelievable favor I was receiving that GOD WAS DOING IT -- and
I said as long as I knew it was GOD opening these doors, I was
going to walk through them, even though a few, not understanding,
criticized.
Meanwhile I kept praying that God would open doors to GET
HIS END TIME GOSPEL INTO THOSE COUNTRIES. I did not yet see the
connection!
But as time developed, I had become acquainted and well
regarded by many presidents, kings, prime ministers, and other
high officials. I began to realize THEY WANTED TO KNOW MORE OF MY
BELIEFS -- MORE ABOUT THE WORK OF AMBASSADOR COLLEGE, AND THE
WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD!
Last April 28th I was decorated by the Emperor and the
Government of Japan with the highest honor ever bestowed on a
non-official non-Japanese. This gave me a very great credibility
in Japan. Then I learned Prince Mikasa, brother of the Emperor,
