			<br> 1. <u>WELL, PTL! TYJ! MARIA & I SELDOM EVER DISAGREE ABOUT ANYTHING, IN FACT, WE HARDLY EVER EVEN HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION!</u> Usually we are two hearts that beat as one & two minds with but a single thought, almost like mental telepathy! She often takes the Words right out of my mouth, so to speak, or says just what I'm about to say, or is following my thoughts so closely that she goes ahead & says what I'm thinking about, just as though she were reading my mind!

	<br><br> 2. <u>WE ARE IN SUCH PERFECT HARMONY THAT IT'S ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE, & ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, WITH A FEW VERY VERY RARE EXCEPTIONS!</u>--And these have never been on any basic fundamentals such as Salvation or serving the Lord or forsaking-all or obeying the Lord or putting His Work first & His Word, which she loves above all else, even as His Word says, "putting His Word above His Name" (Ps.138:2) & even before me, whom she loves very dearly.		<br><br> 2. <u>WE ARE IN SUCH PERFECT HARMONY THAT IT'S ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE, & ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, WITH A FEW VERY VERY RARE EXCEPTIONS!</u>--And these have never been on any basic fundamentals such as Salvation or serving the Lord or forsaking-all or obeying the Lord or putting His Work first & His Word, which she loves above all else, even as His Word says, "putting His Word above His Name" (Ps.138:2) & even before me, whom she loves very dearly.
	<br><br> 3. <u>ON THESE BLOOMIN' AUTOMATIC VOLUME CONTROL SYSTEMS I'VE GOT TO WAIT ABOUT TEN SECONDS FOR THE SOUND TO COME BACK UP AFTER MERELY CLEARING MY THROAT!</u> I don't know whoever invented these crazy things, but they certainly are a nuisance! Of course, they were made to prevent noise that would be too loud & cause distortion, but most often they prevent proper recording by some loud noise suddenly knocking the volume way down & not coming back up for several seconds & missing quite a bit in the meantime. But anyhow, once in awhile if we do differ on something, it kind of knocks our volume down & we don't readjust for a little bit until we're back in tune again after some minor difficulty.		<br><br> 3. <u>ON THESE BLOOMIN' AUTOMATIC VOLUME CONTROL SYSTEMS I'VE GOT TO WAIT ABOUT TEN SECONDS FOR THE SOUND TO COME BACK UP AFTER MERELY CLEARING MY THROAT!</u> I don't know whoever invented these crazy things, but they certainly are a nuisance!

	<br><br> 57. <u>WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SOMETIMES THE BEST THING TO DO IS JUST STOP, QUIT, DON'T DO ANYTHING!</u> Wait on the Lord! If you're tired or upset or feel sick, go to bed, take a rest, take a nap, get a little sleep. Maybe you'll feel better when you wake up, & maybe the Lord will even give you the answer in your sleep or in a dream or revelation or a prophecy of some kind. Maybe you'll get the answer if you'll just wait on the Lord, & I'm sure you will, because that's exactly what happened!		<br><br> 57. <u>WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SOMETIMES THE BEST THING TO DO IS JUST STOP, QUIT, DON'T DO ANYTHING!</u> Wait on the Lord!

	<br><br> 58. <u>I WENT TO SLEEP, & IN MY SLEEP I HAD THE FUNNIEST LITTLE DREAM!</u> It was very short, only one picture & a few words, but that was it! That's all I needed. That was sufficient for me. That was the answer that I was looking for & the Lord was so faithful to give, & in such a simple childish picture that the Lord surely must think we're very very childish & our intellect is extremely limited to have to give us the answer in such a simple little humble little funny little picture!		<br><br> 58. <u>I WENT TO SLEEP, & IN MY SLEEP I HAD THE FUNNIEST LITTLE DREAM!</u> It was very short, only one picture & a few words, but that was it!

There are many kinds of mops in the World, & mops are a very interesting study, believe it or not!--And as we once made a study for you of toilets, a seemingly very humble vessel of the house, yet I proved to you that it was the most necessary vessel in the entire house! (No.264) Although the most humble & the most secretive & seemingly the most hidden & lowliest & dirtiest of all vessels, it is the most essential!--And I might say, so also with the humble mop!		<br><br> 59. <u>WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE TITLE OF THIS PARTICULAR DISCOURSE WHICH YOU'VE ALREADY READ AT THE BEGINNING & BEEN WONDERING WHAT IN THE WORLD IT WAS & WHEN IN THE WORLD WOULD I GET AROUND TO IT--THE MOP!</u>--Because that was exactly what I saw in my dream!

	<br><br> 60. <u>OF ALL HOUSEKEEPING TOOLS, THE MOP IS PROBABLY THE LOWLIEST & THE LOWEST & THE DIRTIEST & THE MESSIEST, & YET THE MOST NECESSARY & USEFUL OF ALMOST ANY HOUSEKEEPING TOOL OUTSIDE OF THE COMMON BROOM!</u> But what the broom won't clear up & clean up, the mop has to, because the mop usually has to really clean up the mess. Mops are for messes!--And usually wet & messy messes! And if not for that, they are for scrubbing floors, really cleaning floors with soap & water or various cleansers of various kinds. Or for polishing some kinds of floors.		<br><br> 60. <u>OF ALL HOUSEKEEPING TOOLS, THE MOP IS PROBABLY THE LOWLIEST & THE LOWEST & THE DIRTIEST & THE MESSIEST, & YET THE MOST NECESSARY & USEFUL OF ALMOST ANY HOUSEKEEPING TOOL OUTSIDE OF THE COMMON BROOM!</u> But what the broom won't clear up & clean up, the mop has to, because the mop usually has to really clean up the mess.

	<br><br> 61. <u>AS I SAY, THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF MOPS!</u> I'll never forget the biggest mop I ever saw was in one of those Grand Central Stations down in Mexico where they have such gorgeous enormous beautiful grand cathedral-like, almost auditorium-like, railroad stations in some of those cities, surrounded by the pitiful huts & hovels & shacks & shanties of the poor! Whereas inside the station it's all grandeur & spit'n'polish & gorgeous polished floors, & where they have men of continual employment simply going back & forth & back & forth across those highly polished floors with these huge polish mops constantly, all day long, keeping them clean & polished in spite of the thousands of dirty feet & footsteps walking across those floors!		<br><br> 61. <u>AS I SAY, THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF MOPS!</u> I'll never forget the biggest mop I ever saw was in one of those Grand Central Stations down in Mexico where they have such gorgeous enormous beautiful grand cathedral-like, almost auditorium-like, railroad stations in some of those cities, surrounded by the pitiful huts & hovels & shacks & shanties of the poor!

	<br><br> 93. <u>SO I WOKE HAPPY THAT THE LORD HAD GIVEN ME AN ANSWER, THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO GO OVER EVERY SINGLE WORD OF THESE QUOTES</u> & make sure they were right & that I agree with them so that they will be what the Lord wants them to be! PTL! And having gotten that answer, that that was to be my job--I was to clamp down on them & make sure they were what they should be--the Lord then solved the rest of the problem of how I should go about it!		<br><br> 93. <u>SO I WOKE HAPPY THAT THE LORD HAD GIVEN ME AN ANSWER, THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO GO OVER EVERY SINGLE WORD OF THESE QUOTES</u> & make sure they were right & that I agree with them so that they will be what the Lord wants them to be!

	<br><br> 94. <u>WE WERE TO PUBLISH THEM IN THE PROVEN METHOD THAT HAS PROVEN SO FAST & EFFICIENT & SUCCESSFUL IN THE LITTLE GN BOOKLETS & PUT THEM OUT AS FAST AS WE GET A BOOK WHIPPED INTO SHAPE!</u>--Not wait until we've got a huge book of hundreds or thousands of pages that would be hefty & unwieldy & hard to keep in your pocket to whip out any time you need it, but to have them in the same little tiny booklet style. Even if it took several booklets to get'm all in, at least that would be that many more booklets you could share with other members of the Family & easier to carry in your pocket & whip out your Weapon of the Word whenever you needed it to use for your own inspiration & encouragement & protection, as well as defence against others or for their enlightenment & edification as well!		<br><br> 94. <u>WE WERE TO PUBLISH THEM IN THE PROVEN METHOD THAT HAS PROVEN SO FAST & EFFICIENT & SUCCESSFUL IN THE LITTLE GN BOOKLETS & PUT THEM OUT AS FAST AS WE GET A BOOK WHIPPED INTO SHAPE!</u>--Not wait until we've got a huge book of hundreds or thousands of pages that would be hefty & unwieldy & hard to keep in your pocket to whip out any time you need it, but to have them in the same little tiny booklet style.

	<br><br> 95. <u>SO HERE WE ARE, WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT THE ~~</u>{\ul \i~~ MOP~~}<u>~~ JUST LIKE THE LORD SHOWED US!</u> And the minute I told dear Maria about my dream & about the method the Lord showed me we should use to get out her quotes, she was very happy & very yielded, agreeable, cooperative & rejoicing that I was going to work on her quotes now for sure & make sure they got out as soon as possible. And she agreed that if there was more than one booklet of them, we should put out several booklets, & in this little easy-to-handle easy-to-carry pocketbook form that you can stick in your shirt pocket or back pocket or wherever.		<br><br> 95. <u>SO HERE WE ARE, WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT THE MOP JUST LIKE THE LORD SHOWED US!</u> And the minute I told dear Maria about my dream & about the method the Lord showed me we should use to get out her quotes, she was very happy & very yielded, agreeable, cooperative & rejoicing that I was going to work on her quotes now for sure & make sure they got out as soon as possible.

	<br><br> 96. <u>PLEASE TRY TO PUT IT IN A POCKET OR A PURSE WHERE IT'S NOT GOING TO GET CRUSHED OR TOO MUTILATED,</u> & for this reason we're putting on very good heavy plasticised covers to stand a great deal of wear & resist dirt or soiling or staining & be well-protected!--The Word in a good covering & well-protected for your use & for constant use & frequent use so that you'll have something here that is a constant source of pleasure, enjoyment, inspiration, encouragement, edification, information & guidance continuously, something you will read over & over again & use again & again with others. So I hope that you will truly enjoy them & appreciate them & use them for God's glory & for the instruction & help & edification of others as well.		<br><br> 96. <u>PLEASE TRY TO PUT IT IN A POCKET OR A PURSE WHERE IT'S NOT GOING TO GET CRUSHED OR TOO MUTILATED,</u> & for this reason we're putting on very good heavy plasticised covers to stand a great deal of wear & resist dirt or soiling or staining & be well-protected!--The Word in a good covering & well-protected for your use & for constant use & frequent use so that you'll have something here that is a constant source of pleasure, enjoyment, inspiration, encouragement, edification, information & guidance continuously, something you will read over & over again & use again & again with others.

	<br><br> 97. <u>SO PTL! THAT'S THE ~~</u>{\ul \i~~ MOP~~}<u>~~, & BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS QUOTEBOOK OR THESE QUOTE BOOKLETS ARE GOING TO BE LIKE MOPS!</u> Every little string or rag or remnant or fragment of the mop head is going to be another quote, another piece of material to help mop the dirt out of your mind & clear your brain & wash it clean with the Water of the Word! Praise God! Hallelujah! So I hope you really use this mop frequently & that you wield it with a will so that it will really accomplish its purpose of cleansing your mind & heart with the pure Water of His Word & make it so polished it will really shine for the Lord! Amen? Hallelujah! TYJ! In Jesus' name, amen.		<br><br> 97. <u>SO PTL!

Because when you really want to get a floor clean you don't just sweep it, you <u>mop</u> it! Amen? So here it is! Here's your new mop full of strong powerful fibers that are soaked in the Water of His Word for you to do a real good clean job of mopping the floors of your mind & heart for Jesus & help mop the minds of others as well!

	<br><br> 99. <u>WELL, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN TOO LONG, I'M SORRY, BUT I DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU ANYTHING ANY OTHER WAY!</u> I've got to cover the whole subject, including all kinds of mops! I even forgot to tell you about the modern new mop that they've invented that you don't have to wring with your hands anymore, you use a little lever to sort of squeegee it & a metal plate squeezes the mop dry of water itself, sort of a self-wringing mop!--And there are a few other mops that probably you know about!		<br><br> 99. <u>WELL, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN TOO LONG, I'M SORRY, BUT I DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU ANYTHING ANY OTHER WAY!</u> I've got to cover the whole subject, including all kinds of mops!
