Clay Jars and the Flame

---

In the ancient story of Gideon, Yahweh instructed His soldiers to hide their torches inside clay jars. 

Only when the appointed time arrived did they break the lanterns, revealing the light, and shout to rout the opposing army.

Following this holy pattern, the Seven Cycle Movement is not an aggressive public campaign to evangelize the masses. It is a hidden movement..marching in silence..

It is an inward, deeply personal underground movement to turn toward Yahweh. We do not preach, push, or force the Way of Yahweh onto anyone. Instead, we live it out quietly in our own lives, letting our actions reveal the "flame" hidden inside the lantern—our physical bodies of clay. We are the lanterns; the flame is the Holy Spirit within us.

One day we will all shout..but we must march silently, patiently, until the appointed time.

How to Handle Outsiders:

• Answer with wisdom: If someone notices the changes in your life and asks about the way you live, answer their questions directly.

• Do Not Force It: Speak only to what they specifically ask. If they remain curious and continue asking, (and they believe and understand you) tell them about the Movement. If they stop asking, let them be.

Their appointed time will come. Until then, stay focused and fight your own internal battles.
