the little finger, “memorizing”; but the <u>thumb</u><span style="text-decoration:none">,

Lee Ellenwood from California came to Victoria and Port Alberni, BC
in 1944, and shared how to daily walk through the Tabernacle of Moses
with its 7 pieces of furniture. This led me to fulfill Psalm 86:11 -
“</span><u>Unite my heart</u><span style="text-decoration:none">
to fear your name!” The Holy Place in the Tabernacle represents our
soul, and the Holy of Holies our spirit. When </span><u>God</u><span style="text-decoration:none">
as one with us in our spirit enables us to renew our mind and soul
according to Romans 12:2; </span><u>then</u><span style="text-decoration:none">
our heart becomes </span><u>united</u><span style="text-decoration:none">
to fulfill God’s Word. </span><u>This</u><span style="text-decoration:none">
happened for me. 5) “The Authority of the Believer” by J.A.
MacMillan in “Herald of His Coming”. This had a profound effect
on me, by giving me faith to believe for the full salvation of my
household. This took place for all 3 of my close family! 6) “Answers
to Prayer” by George Muller, a Moody Colportage book, was also
given to me by someone in 1944. How to Infallibly know God’s Will -
and How to bring it to pass - were two outlines in the book that I
memorized. These tremendously helped me to prevail in prayer as a new
believer. 7) Psalm 19:14 - “Let the words of my mouth, and the
</span><u>meditation</u><span style="text-decoration:none"> of my
heart, be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength, and my
Redeemer.” I found this verse written above the door of a tavern in
Victoria. Apparently it was a former chapel or church, and the new
owner didn’t want to take it down. God’s Spirit let me know that
this verse on meditation was to become part of the warp and woof of
my b</span><span style="text-decoration:none">e</span><span style="text-decoration:none">ing
for the rest of my life. 8) “God’s Bible Numerics</span><span style="text-decoration:none">”
</span><span style="text-decoration:none">discovered by Ivan Panin
in 1890 was placed in my hands in the summer of 1944 by a Russian Jew
from Calgary, Alberta. He offered to teach me NT Greek in return for
me to study “the works of the great Ivan Panin.” (His words).

Scroll down to “2011.</span><span style="text-decoration:none">01.02
- Cutting Edge Ministries on Panin” - to learn more about this. 9)
“Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret” by Mrs. Howard Taylor later
came into my hands. We </span><u>must</u><span style="text-decoration:none">
have a Romans 6 “Identification Experience” into the death of
Jesus Christ on the Cross; plus a John 15:1-16 realization that as a
branch in Christ - HE supplies all the sap - all the power to make us
fruitful. It is </span><u>all</u><span style="text-decoration:none">
of Him and </span><u>none</u><span style="text-decoration:none"> of
us, except our faith to believe and receive. 10) In 1962 “My Utmost
for His Highest” by Oswald Chambers came into my hands. It took
Oswald 6 years to die to self and let Christ completely take over as
Lord of His life. He nearly had a complete nervous breakdown before
he broke through his pride and humbled himself to make Jesus “his
Utmost”. He was about 27, lived but 16 more years, wrote 50 books,
and died at 43 in Egypt as a chaplain to British forces. Acts 2:38
show</span><span style="text-decoration:none">s</span><span style="text-decoration:none">
that before we receive the gift (d</span><u>o</u><span style="text-decoration:none">-reA)
of the Holy Spirit, we should first have a complete repentance from
dead works, plus a complete faith in God and Christ’s “Finished
Work” as demonstrated in baptism (Romans 6). 11) Then in 1952 “Rees
Howells, Intercessor” by Norman P. Grubb was placed in my hands by
Pastor Robert Burrows from Scotland. This had a profound effect and
challenge for me - for “possession by the Holy Spirit.” By all
means procure this book of CLC (Christian Literature Crusade). 12) In
1944 “Visions Beyond the Veil” by H.A. Baker was given to me by
someone. It </span><u>too</u><span style="text-decoration:none"> had
a profound effect on me. Here I learned that Jesus is not returning
in two phases according to a woman's vision in the 1830’s - but </span><u>in
one coming or return</u><span style="text-decoration:none">
according to the Scriptures, as confirmed by George Muller, Charles
Haddon Spurgeon and Samuel Tregelles. 13) In 1948 the February
Visitation by God in North Battleford, Saskatchewan came. I was
chosen as one of the 7 elders for the Summer Camp Meeting, and later
appointed by the Lord </span><span style="text-decoration:none">to
list the 12 Embryonic Revival Principles that came together at that
time, and also asked to have a part in bringing them to maturity (now
64 years later). God indicated that they would be parameters </span><span style="text-decoration:none">of</span><span style="text-decoration:none">
safety for the last visitation just preceding the return of His Son.
