Part Two: Some Criteria for God’s Storehouse

Part Two: What are Some Criteria of God’s Storehouse?
(for Part One in this series, please click this link.)

 In part two of this series we aim to determine what God’s storehouse should be doing so that we can recognize it from a myriad of counterfeits that have arisen since Brother Houteff’s death in 1955. To accomplish this goal we will examine several criteria coming from the Bible, Spirit of Prophecy and the Shepherds’s Rod that will aid us in our search. May God richly bless you as you strive to sink the shaft deep into the mine of Truth and avoid the devil’s every ready trap of deception.

Key Text:

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”—1 John 4:1

Summary of Criteria:

1.  Teach and publish only true doctrines from the Shepherd’s Rod not adding or subtracting one jot or tittle from the message.

GCS 8 — Only the message and teaching of Elijah has any authority.
2 TG 34:28-9 — Don’t waste your time between the Rod literature and some other.
2 SR 288-9 — “Get your doctrine, Brother, Sister, only from the golden bowl.”
10 Tr 46— Avoid Uninspired writings
2 TG 46:47 — Stay within the hedge of inspired revelation
3 SC 5, 6:14 — Teach only that which has been revealed
2 TG 46:43-4 — Watch for additions or subtractions from inspiration
1 TG 21:12 — Don’t fall into the trap of being too lazy to study.
1 TG 47:14 — Davidian’s don’t appreciate study as they should.

2. Distribute free literature (original writings of VTH) for distribution to the field (Isa. 55:1-3, 9 JL 4:3, 2 SC 3:2, GCS 35, 1 TG 9:5).

3. Will establish publishing houses and training centers for Bible Workers at strategic locations around the world (7 T 140, 53).

4. Does not publish any literature or books on Shepherd’s Rod doctrine or teachings for personal gain (8 T 250, GW 227.2, 2 TG 30:17, 1 TG 5:21, 9 JL 4:3, 1 SR 243.2, 1 SC 7:4.2, 1 SC 14:3.5, 2 SC 1:7).

5. Issues the Certificate of Fellowship for qualified members (4 Ans. 63, 4 Ans. 36-7, 5 Ans. 82, 2 TG 34:24, 5 Ans. 82-5, 5 Ans. 92).

6. Institutes proper use of tithes and offerings (CSW 129.2, GW 226, 9 T 247-250, 1 SC 14:9, 4 Ans. 51:1, Lev. 10).

7. Support ministers and Bible workers in the worldwide field (see criteria no. 6 above and Lev. 10-11).

8. Support a benevolent fund for the poor and sick among us from the second tithe (1 SC 13:1-3, 4 Ans. 50-1, 2 SR 179-80, GW 331.2, GW 304.3, GW 335.2, 1 T 633, MB 136.4).

9. Have audited financial books for inspection by members during session (GW 226.4, Kress Coll.  120.3, 4).

10. Publish the Symbolic Code as the official voice to the believers in the field (Lev. 7.3, 1 SC 7:3.1, 4).

11. Regularly publish the Association’s current by-laws following each session (announced in the Symbolic Code, see criteria no. 10 above).

12. Host sessions for believers on a local level and a regular basis according to Lev. p. 7 and 9 T 260.2.

13. Support an organized school of prophets (Davidical-Levitical Institute, 2 SC 9:2.8, 2 SC 9:3.4-5, 2 SC 1:2-3)

14. Actively support and teach health reform (7 T 136-7, 6 T 112, 9 T 112, 161, CH 37-38, 301.1, 2 SC 3:16, 2 SC 5:11). For dangers involving spiritualistic health modalities such as iridology and reflexology that have entered into the message, please see the following link:

15. Will establish a provisional General Headquarters for the work to be governed according to every word written in the Leviticus including an Executive Council comprised of a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and three council members (Lev. 3-10)

16. Will not form any type of confederacy of any sort with the state in order to gain privileges or benefits and thereby forfeit all legal protections afforded by the First amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.  Specifically this entails incorporation with the state so that IRS 501c3 status can be obtained (Isa. 8:9-12, 9T 233.3, 2 SM 371.1, CS 218-19, FE 476.1, Mil. Stand 4.1, 13 Tr 35). For a study on this topic, please follow the link:  http://whyperish.org/2010/09/02/irs-501c3-state-incorporation-a-trap-for-davidians/

Summary:  By using the above criteria, and any others that can be found exclusively in the golden bowl, we can be assured of the reality of identifying God’s storehouse today by seeking for it with determined effort and divine guidance, despite the enemy’s determined efforts to bring in confusion through a number of counterfeit storehouses.
