Guidelines

Guidelines for Gatherings

No gatherings are to be advertised. The instructions are there for those the Trinity directs to gather together. Eventually They will somehow link some gatherings just to have fellowship but there will be no organization. The gatherings will be spontaneous as led by the Trinity alone. No one should be able to link them. Only this tab of instructions will be available. The gatherings belong to the Trinity . . . raised by Them, fed by Them, maintained by Them, hidden by Them . . . even from each other. Only the Trinity will know how many there are on earth.

Pearls,
Our gatherings are led by the Trinity only. Here is what the Trinity is leading Pearls to do and a few warnings. This is not an exhaustive list.

1. All Pearls at the gatherings are to remain centered within their own gardens (spirits). as much as they are currently able according to their journey of learning during the gatherings. But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

  • 1 Corinthians 6:17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
  • John 4:23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
  • Song of Solomon 2:14 “O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret places of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely.”

2. We are not to come with any agenda at all. We are not to expect a normal Bible study or church service that most Americans experience. We are not to “try” to contribute or prepare beforehand. We are to come with only one instruction: Follow the Trinity’s leading. We actively listen to Them and then obey. If They do not give us specific instructions then we actively listen and take in all They are doing and saying. We are to simply soak in Their Presence just like we are to do every day at our homes.

  • 2 Samuel 22:31 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven
  • Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
  • 2 Corinthians 3:3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

3. We are to remain below surface-level. No shallow visiting or conversation. No conversation other than what we are led by the Trinity to have. No unnecessary details about problems that could pull others into the exterior. When we share a need in obedience to Them we keep it short and just enough information to ask for prayer. We remain in the interior at all times.

  • Revelation 1:10 On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit,
  • Revelation 4:2 At once I was in the Spirit,
  • Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit

4. No one is to lead. The Trinity led the children of Israel before they ever had a king or official government. Therefore They are perfectly capable of leading a gathering of Pearls. There may be a few who are “seasoned” listeners that are used more than others in the gathering but that is only temporary. All Pearls are to continue on their journey with the Trinity throughout their lives and therefore all will become seasoned listeners.

  • Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man.
  • Romans 8:14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
  • Exodus 15:13 In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.

5. If one or two Pearls become the leader of the gatherings then it is no longer a Pearl gathering. If all are not used then that is a clue the enemy has infiltrated the gathering.

  • Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
  • Galatians 4:17 They zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them.

6. If there is a spirit of condemnation or control during a gathering then that is a clue that the Trinity’s leading has been usurped by the enemy.

  • 1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
  • Jude 1:19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.

7. No Pearl who is angry, fearful, or harbors unforgiveness will be a Voice for the Trinity. Watch for wrong leadings that come from impure hearts.

  • Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
  • Ezekiel 13:3 Thus says the Lord God: “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!

8. Remember that nothing significant happens outside the Presence of God. Therefore the Presence of the Trinity is the one and only agenda. Nothing else is on the table. Nothing else is to capture attention.

  • Galatians 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
  • Hebrews 6:19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil.
  • Psalm 27:4 One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.

9. First John speaks of the Trinity being our Teacher as we abide in Their Presence. Therefore no teachings of man can compare. Pearl gatherings are not studies written by man. All teaching comes from the Trinity.

  • 1 John 2:27 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will  “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
  • Hebrews 1:7 In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”

11. No one Pearl has all the giftings necessary for the gatherings. All Pearls are to be used as the Trinity leads and in Their timing.

  • 1 Corinthians 12:9-11  9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

12. At all times we are to receive Their anointing and remain within the Holy Spirit through our spirits. Therefore expect most communication to be “in the Spirit” as John says. (Revelation).

  • Romans 7:6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
  • John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

13. A Pearl who is designated by the Trinity is to record all They help her/him to remember after the gathering and keep the notes for future reviewing. Prophecies will be seen to be fulfilled and personal growth in Them will be revealed as They lead us to review the past gatherings. Testimonies can be added to the notebook. We then can give thanks and praise to the Father.

  • Exodus 17:14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book.”

14. Pearls are not to speak of the events of the gatherings to anyone outside the Pearl Family unless the Trinity specifically tells them. There are many antichrists, pharisees, surface-level Christians and unbelievers who not only would not understand but may be used by the enemy. We must be as wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Surface-level information about the gatherings is fine to discuss with those we are to honor, if they ask, but the things of the Lord belong to those of the Lord. We are not to “cast pearls before swine.” (not calling anyone a swine…).

  • Ezekiel 12:2 Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see, and ears to hear but does not hear; for they are a rebellious house.
  • Romans 11:8 Just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day.”
  • 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
  • 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15. True Pearl gatherings are sacred and holy as we are the Trinity’s Pearls and Their Presence is of great significance. Therefore we approach gatherings with reverence, seriousness, humility, and honor. Our words are few compared with regular social gatherings. This is not the time for chit-chat. The Trinity honors us with Their Presence so we recognize this and honor Them at all times. We have a solemn joy . . . a peaceful fear . . . a quiet excitement . . . a humble expectation.

  • Zephaniah 1:7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord God; For the day of the Lord is at hand, For the Lord has prepared a sacrifice; He has invited His guests.
  • Psalm 114:7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob.
  • Hebrews 12:22-24 22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

16. We are to learn to become good listeners and pray just what the Trinity tells us to pray. We understand that we all are students and have much to learn. Therefore we have grace for each other as we make mistakes. We are all in the process of learning how to follow Christ.

  • Isaiah 30:21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left.
  • Matthew 11:15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
  • Jude 1:20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit.
  • 2 Peter 1:21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

17. We are to take our time as we listen to the Trinity. Prayer and receiving from Them is not to be rushed. We are not dictating to Them a time frame. They rule us. How many times in Scripture are we told to wait on the Lord? We do not follow modern-day methods of immediate prayer that comes from the natural mind. We follow the Trinity and we never rush Them. We wait without impatience. We also wait on each other as we are all students and stepping out in faith. There may even be times when the Trinity wants us to be silent before Them. They dictate the gatherings . . . not our culture. We simply want Their will to be done no matter what.

  • Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
  • Romans 8:5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
  • Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
  • Romans 8:27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

18. All Pearls who wish to invite other Pearls must remember that only like-minded Pearls can come to a gathering. Unity in the Spirit is essential.

  • Philippians 2:2 . . . fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
  • Acts 2:1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
  • Acts 5:12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.
  • Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.

May the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be glorified in all the gatherings. Amen!
