before I was saved, and now that He had revealed Himself to me, I
wanted to know what I had got myself into by promising Him to preach
and teach His Son and the Bible. A number of surprises came to me
from parts of the Bible I had not read before. One was Exodus
28:6-30. Here God tells Moses how to clothe his brother Aaron as High
Priest. One part of his clothing was to attach the Breastplate of
Judgment to the Ephod, with 2 gold chains and a blue ribbon. Inside
of the rectangular Breastplate folded into a square pocket, was
placed the Urim and Thummim (“Lights and Perfection”). By this
the High Priest could by God give “Perfect Guidance” to Kings and
leaders of Israel. Joshua and David especially made good use of this
supernatural method of “Perfect Guidance.” Twice just after David
became joint king of both Judah and Israel at the age of 37, the
Philistines came up against him early in his reign, thinking they
could defeat him at this early stage. Both times however he consulted
God through Urim and Thummim. The first time God directed him to the
successful defeat of the Philistines in battle. The second time He
directed David to divide his forces and make an ambush; keep his main
force under the mulberry trees; and when he heard God's angels go in
to defeat the Philistines, then he was to move and mop up. What a way
to win battles!</font></p>

understanding that there was a New Testament Application for this
unusual gift, I sought preachers and books to help me understand how
to enter into this blessing. No dice! Then I remembered that I had
been paper boy at 15 for 3 years to Mrs. Mary Bertha Allquist of Port
Alberni, BC. Though I was an unbeliever at the time, I understood
that she was a Jewish convert to Christianity, and had memorized the
entire Bible, much of it in Hebrew also. I sensed that she was the
answer to my problem. So the first leave I had from the Navy, I
hitch-hiked from Victoria to Port Alberni, visited Mrs. Allquist, and
presented to her my problem.</span></font></font></p>

I read, she quietly quoted from memory along with me. As you can

corresponds with the Exodus 28:6-30 passage. How Solomon described
the father's command to his son, and the mother's teaching - like the
Urim and Thummim - is bound over the heart, and tied about the neck
like the Breastplate of Judgment on the High Priest. The two opal
shoulder stones to which the 2 gold chains were attached record the
names of the 12 sons of Jacob according to birth (Genesis 29 &
30). But the 12 stones on the Breastplate recorded the 12 tribes of
Israel according to Numbers 1, and their location around the
Tabernacle of Moses.</span></font></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 8pt;" size="1"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;">That
same year, 1944, God put into my hands George Muller's “Answers to
Prayer.” The 6 points of his Preface on how to infallibly attain
the will of God - is a parallel passage to Urim & Thummim, and
can be successfully accessed by vocally praying over the Scriptures.
Here are Muller's 6 points: 1. Have </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>no</u></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;">
preconceived ideas, Proverbs 3:5-6 (3:1-12). This is the most
difficult of all 6 points to achieve, and leads 90% towards success.
2. Do </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>not</u></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;">
leave the result to feeling or simple impression, for it will lead to
sure deception - Remember Isaac feeling Jacob in Genesis 27. 3.
Seek the Will of God by the Spirit of God </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>through</u></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;">
or </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>in
connection with</u></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;">
the Word of God - Romans 8:14 (8:12-17). 4. Providence - Revelation
3:7 (3:7-13). 5. Ask God to reveal His Word aright! - Matthew 7:7
(7:1-12). 6. Let peace be your referee, and let it remain after 2
or 3 askings - Colossians 3:15 (3:12-17). (Praying in the Spirit
over the Word of God as well - was Smith Wigglesworth's secret of
success.)</span></font></font></p>

65 years, and I can assuredly avouch for the unusual insights God
gave me that year. Again and again when the enemy has come in like a

enemy, and given the parallel kind of victories that both Joshua and
David as well as others, experienced. </font>

As an aside, the first Wednesday of August, 1982 at the First Baptist
Church of Arcata CA when I was serving for 6 years there as Associate
Pastor, Pastor Jack Hayford of Van Nuys CA spoke as our guest
speaker. Normally we had maybe 13 in attendance. That night, 600
attended! An overflow room of 120 met downstairs with closed circuit
television, and kids sat around the pulpit on the floor beside Pastor
Jack. His text was from Exodus 28:17-21.</span></font></font></p>

father from Oakland CA was reading this Scripture portion in 1969.
God spoke to him: </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>“My
son - if you will take Judah's name off the red sardius stone, and
replace it with your clan name of “Hayford;” and if you will take
Issachar's name off the yellow topaz stone and replace it with your
wife's maiden name of “Smith;” and if you will with your wife
pray for these 2 clan names twice daily - I will make an effective
witness to every member of these 2 clans world-wide - and those of
open heart - I will bring into My Kingdom.”</b></span></font></font></p>

wife agreed with him for this challenge. Within 6 months 4 Hayfords
and 2 Smiths up till then unknown to them, made contact - and were
all found to be newly brought into God's Kingdom in this time-frame.
Mr Hayford Sr. died 10 years later, 1979. For 3 years his widow
continued the prayer project. Then she shared with her son Jack of
their project. </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>“Why

Jack had not previously run across such a revelation. He did a
careful Bible study on “Clan Salvation,” and found it entirely
scriptural. He determined if he had only a one night stand to preach,
and neither the Holy Spirit nor the host pastor asked otherwise, he
would </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>always</u></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;">

was so impressed, that next morning, as my wife Marie and I knelt in

So I added my mother's maiden name Mosher, the clan names of the
spouses of our 3 children, the spouse clan names of brothers and

6 more stones to the Breastplate of Judgment!</span></font></font></p>
