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 ...
Part One: Where is God’s Storehouse Today?
The topic of the location and purpose of God's storehouse today is one of much confusion and debate among professed believers of the Shepherd's Rod message.

Especially since the "knock out blow" emerged in the spring of 1959, do we see many winds of doctrine as to the meaning of these symbols in Davidian circles far and wide. Closely connected with this verse is Amos 1:2 which says ...
Living Spirit of Prophecy: What is It?
It seems that the winds of doctrine blowing through the diaspora of professed Davidians is never ending. Take for example the controversy over the meaning of the expression "living spirit of prophecy" (LSOP). Some argue vehemently that this must be a living prophet or porter in our midst.
