Teaching the Family to Follow God |
|
 |
David always taught his followers that as
Christians, they had a direct, personal link with Jesus via prayer and the Bible. He
continually reminded them to pray, read the Bible and "follow God!" He knew that
this would be the key to their success, both for that time and after he was gone. In 1973
he wrote: "That's the whole idea of the [Family]: It's supposed to break you away from such a manmade attachment and manmade dependence where everything has to depend on one preacher, one denomination or one pope or whatever! Each one is supposed to find God for himself and be filled with the Holy Spirit and led by the Spirit of God individually, so that they find the answers for themselves, their own individual cases!" [167] |
