Notes from a Meeting

Note: The following is transcribed from notes that were taken by Brother John at a meeting directed by Stewart, in the Washington, D.C., area, on Easter Day, April 1981. Perhaps someone remembers the meeting and the exact date.

Meeting

Easter 1981

The way your life day-to-day will be depends on whether you hold back in prayer now.

"There must be factions among you so that those who are among you [who are genuine] may be recognized."

Some Sisters: Those being devoted to Jesus and proud of Jesus and love Jesus and keeps going, hopeful, "practice your duties and be faithful to them that all may see your progress," steady and devoted "gentle & quiet spirit" united chosen work together.

Jesus loves me & each one of us and does forgive our sins, mercies are new every morning. Seek good of Bros. & Sis. with a whole heart and a clear conscience. Some women went with Jesus to the cross--Php. 4:3 commends women.

Forgive Forgave Forgiven

How can you trust you?

How do you be toward Stewart? All or nothing (neither's correct).

One sinner destroys much good.

Speak the truth with each other.

Must be sharp in going after yourself, if was would be growing in understanding of the numbers.

Words of wisdom for sisters

Women badly need to be devoted wholeheartedly or will float down the river--to their first lord, Jesus. Must full love your sisters or will sell them down the river.

Each older sister is trying to make a private deal with Stewart. Fantasy won't work. What are you really doing? Bottom line . . . If you aren't freely devoted to loving one another wrong spirits take over--you don't choose but they take over if not fully devoted. And you'll maneuver your way & hate yourself for doing it. I don't want to do it, didn't mean to do it, etc. Fully devoted to Jesus or any part time making deals to be overcome by wrong spirits.

Women maneuvering. Of course there is the new creation--put that first and all else will be added to you.

We take it lightly--sin is couching at the door, breathing down our neck, we go on to the next thing Ho Hum, not caring about where we stand with Jesus. When it gets too boring we can do something entertaining. Must guard conscience.

You received Jesus, you received power to overcome sin. If you're not overcoming its cause you're too lazy.

Judge yourself.

We make sure the body is all divided so we're free to do our thing. If we love Jesus we'd reverse that with a little effort on our part.

Your life and sin.

The younger ones must suffer cause of the sins of the older ones.

Unless there is a fellowship of older ones who fully loves, this will happen.

No fellowship with older ones now; they're here entertaining. Which way will you go?

The older ones all dream & think rather than act & unite and do something. Won't rise up in the work.

All act like Jesus isn't coming--but are wrong, gonna be fooled.

Called to a very high calling--to be a fellowship who loves & honors truth. Instead we get holding back. Serious. Younger ones are next; what are you gonna do about it? I did not listen to the voice of my teachers--If older ones listened to 1/10 of what they heard there would be 10,000 here. Rebellion is the issue. Older ones hold younger ones hostage. Younger ones will be next or establish a fellowship which really honors and loves truth.

Eph. 5:16.

Jesus doesn't want puppets.

We're getting fooled. Understand God's will but won't do it, miserable, wanted Stewart to pull strings. The more guilt you get and the only meaningful thing in life is Stewart.

John 16:27.

The real work is loving one another.

6 steps of love.

John 16:27.

John 13:34.

Psm. 122:9

Love is a work.

Making a decision.

Laying down [my life].

Put myself in place.

Seek good [of others] best you can.

Pro. 3:27.

The spirit of the young sheep center, 137 [first fellowship at Allentown]--weren't ashamed of Jesus.

Older ones said let's get together & talk about fellowship. Younger ones said let's practice the 6 steps of love. Younger ones do it. Older ones talk about it.

Younger ones must escape.
