We knew that His last promise was to send the many years of our ministry, the Holy Spirit convicted us that the Lordwants John 17 fulfilled more than anything else.

7 He prayed that all that the Father hadgiven Him would receive eternal life and be one with the Father, with Himself, andwith one another. He prayed that people be won to love, harmony, and unity in thebody of has the body of Christ almost everywhere failed to give attention to whatJesus prayed for? Why have we preachers neglected the one thing jesus asked theFather and us to do? Why have we ignored the one long prayer that the Holy Spiritcaused the Apostle to record for us? Why have most Christians been more interestedin making disciples for themselves, instead of making disciples for jesus ?God convicted our hearts that we have neglected the one thing the Lord desiredmore than anything else - eternal life with love and harmony in the body of Christ. Wehave determined that we will do everything we possibly can to win people to jesus ,and to love, to harmony, and to unity in the body of Pastor s MANUAL is about faith and attitude.

8 The main purpose God laidupon our hearts was to give you the faith way of thinking, speaking, and doing. Jesusdeclared very plainly that all things are possible to him who believes. The weakness ofour flesh fights our faith constantly. The devil fights our faith every day. The world ofunbelievers, and even the traditions of Christians fight our faith every day of our thing that determines everything in your life is your philosophy - the wayyou think, your attitude, your faith. The Pastor s MANUAL is to help establish in youwhat we perceive to be the biblical way of thinking. Your words flow from your think-ing, and your deeds flow from your words. You must get God s way of thinking fromHis have furnished to you a MANUAL that will establish within your heart thefaith way of thinking if you will only receive it.

9 The world, the flesh, and the devil willfight you every step of the way. You will be tempted again and again to surrender todefeat. Even your friends will tell you that you really cannot expect faith in the Wordof God to work for you. Please believe jesus . All things are possible to him whobelieves, and it definitely will be unto you according to your an honest and sincere pledge to do everything you can to master everylesson in this MANUAL . We do not require you to commit yourself to believe and prac-tice everything in this MANUAL . You cannot commit yourself to believe and practicesomething before you have read it and know what it is. No one can do that. I wouldnever commit myself to believe and practice a book before I read it, and knew it wasthe right thing to do. We asked you to commit yourself to study and master each lessonto know what is in it.

10 After you have diligently studied each lesson, and prayed over it,God will show you in your heart if it is true or Human Nature Fights FaithNo one can receive anything unless it is given to him from heaven. The reli-gious leaders of jesus day read the same Bible that you and I read today, Genesis toMalachi. Yet when jesus came, they hated Him, and crucified Him. After He rose fromthe dead the majority still did not believe Him, even though they continued to readthat same Bible. This proves that many people read the Bible, and do not understandit. jesus lived the Bible in front of their eyes, and yet they could not see it nor under-The Pastor s ManualIntroduction10 Equipping Pastors To Be Like The Head Shepherd, The Lord Jesusstand it. They fought Him every step of the way. He was the living Bible walking infront of their eyes, word for word, and yet they could not recognize Him.
