Whosoever seek the Truth let him find the Truth FEBRUARY 4, 2012 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this first Sabbath of the Gentile second month. May the LORD God Almighty and His beloved Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may this fourth day of the second month that is the Gentile calendar of 2012 and the days to follow be a blessing unto you all. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: To follower and all who express their support for my labor in the Truth of the LORD; I salute you all with the holy kiss of Christ grace. May the righteousness of your spirit continue in the way as Thinkers knowing whom to trust: for many good hearts have been led astray because the road to hell is paved with good intentions: so beware my friends; for is it not written, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9). Beloved assembly of the firstborn: It is a good thing that I write unto you in the Spirit of One who is called from On High to reveal that which is made known by Scripture, that the ignorance of the world be removed from you. Indeed I speak in the spirit of the prophets and apostles, even Christ our Lord, that men might recognize me by the wisdom the Holy Ghost teaches which is comparing spiritual things with spiritual. For no man know the things of God but the Spirit of God, which is in us, which we make known to the world as genuine by our knowledge of the truth. So let me speak this Sabbath in the spirit of the apostle Paul, the teacher of Gentiles and Jews, as it is written in the First Epistle to the Corinthians: “And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (I Corinthians 2:3-14). And because the things of the Spirit of God are spiritually discerned, many rely on a pastor to give them understanding when understanding is within one’s self: for this we know, in the kingdom of God, every man is a minister. Be therefore a Thinker to receive the sound wisdom of instruction and reproof when you hear it: for instruction and reproof can come from a co-worker, or a social conversation, even from a stranger in the appearance of a bum. But if the ear is closed to spiritual instruction from others except your pastor, then the mind is closed to the truth of God and the soul is vulnerable. Let no man, nor woman, take my word as the truth, but weigh it according to Scripture: this is the same as every voice heard in the wilderness. For many good hearts and wise men and women do go about closing their ear to spiritual instruction from all others except their pastor; in fear some other voice might mislead them. Be therefore as the Thinker, that you might know whom to trust, which is not a man, but the written word of God which need no interpretation. Surely I have encountered many who are afraid to hear and read that which is against their beliefs: but what is your belief if the truth of the Scriptures cannot defend? Surely if one say there is no Christ we close an ear because we know Christ is: but if one say Saturday is the Sabbath and not Sunday, do you close an ear because Sunday is tradition? The Scripture say the seventh day is the Sabbath, and even upon the Gentile calendar the first day of the week is Sunday. Be a Thinker! And if one say you do not have to attend an edifice to serve God, do you close an ear because the church is tradition even in Scripture? Yea, one must search the Scriptures to know the Scriptures: for Jesus said, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (St. John 5:39). So get understanding: for the Gospel of St. Luke say, “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures” (St. Luke 24:45). So understand these Scriptures before you close an ear to instruction and reproof: “Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said” (St. John 2:19-22). “If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are” (I Corinthians 3:17). “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are brought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (I Corinthians 6:19-20). “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence” ( Colossians 1:18). “Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church” (Colossians 1:24). Moreover, is it not written in the Acts of the Apostles: “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things” (Acts 17:24-25). If you are reading this Sermon on the website of its origin, have you not read the post on the message board by Concerned Saint, saying, “the Church was a place, during the time of the disciples, that was used as a storehouse for the purpose of making provisions for the people”? Keep your ear open to instruction and reproof that come from the Holy Scriptures: knowing the Holy Scriptures is the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible. And here is the wisdom I leave with you this Sabbath day: “The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding” (Proverbs 15:31-32). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) IN WHOM DO YOU TRUST? JANUARY 28, 2012 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in whom I trust. May the LORD God of Israel, the Most High and Almighty God, and His beloved Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: for in the Father, and the Son, and Holy Ghost do we trust. Inhabitants of the earth: In Whom Do You Trust? Indeed many say God, but know Him not; so their trust is in falsehood. Indeed many say Christ, but know Him not; so their trust is in falsehood. Indeed many say themselves, but know themselves not; so their trust is in ignorance. Indeed many say the dollar, which is vain; so their trust is in vanity. And because my testimony offends them, many say I do not trust in the king James Version of the Holy Bible because king James was a pedophile. But I say unto them in the wisdom they missed: Did king James write his own version of the Holy Bible? Nay: for if one look into the same history that told them king James was a pedophile, they would also find that king James in opposition from the Catholic Church (which prevented the common people from knowing the truth of the Scriptures) assembled scholars to translate the Scriptures from Hebrew into English without altering one word so the common people might know the Word of God that was written by the Hebrew prophets and apostles; and that the Catholic Church (which was his enemy) be exposed as hypocrites. And the Great Bible and the Bishop’s Bible which translations into the English language preceded king James, but both were inaccurate translations and deceitful alterations as the Vulgate and Septuagint, were removed as the guide for Christians in the world: and the unblemished Scriptures of the Original Hebrew Tongues were made known to the world in the English language as the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible. But in whom do you trust? Do you trust the New king James Version, or the New International Version, or other Versions that spring up daily? In whom do you trust? Now if one say, What makes the Authorized king James Version more accurate than the Great Bible and Bishop’s Bible which were translated into English before the Authorized king James Version? I say unto that one and all who agree, In Whom Do You Trust? Do you trust one that come before you as a Jew with the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible yet no man nor woman can reveal him in error according to the written Word? Surely if king James had set his heart to deceive the world when he commissioned to have the Original Tongues translated into the English language, I could not stand on the Stone of Truth with the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible. Yet stand I unmovable and always abounding in the work of the LORD! For this we know: Even Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon (the first world empire of Satan), who led the Diaspora, whose rebirth was England and now New York, praised God as Almighty: for is it not written: “Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase” (Daniel 4:37). Know therefore then, that tyrants’ even demons are servants of God for His own purpose; because all things are delivered by Him. Have you not read: “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Colossians 1:16-17). And here is more knowledge: king James was guided by God to deliver the Original Hebrew Tongues into the English language for the purpose of the aboriginal Jews who were carried off in chains to be slaves in a land which they nor their fathers had known, the same as in the day of Nebuchadnezzar because the Diaspora rose again, which the world know as the American Slave Trade. It is not a coincidence my friends that the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible was published in 1611. It is not a coincidence my friends that in this land of America is New England. It is not a coincidence my friends that in this land of America is the Obelisk that stood in ancient Egypt and the temple of Jupiter that stood on Capitoline Hill in ancient Rome. So in whom do you trust? Let the Thinker in you answer that question. Inhabitants of the earth: In Whom Do You Trust? Not in all friends can you trust: for we have read, “Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me” (Psalm 41:9). So beware in whom you trust: for a Thinker you must be always. And if a Thinker, then a Reader and a Hearer of the Word. “Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; I am, and none else beside me. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from when it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know” (Isaiah 47:8-11). Beware! In Whom Do You Trust? Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE THINKER JANUARY 21, 2012 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well as a thinker, which is to ponder on the things I seek that I might not do the wrong thing; because there is a way that seem right to a man but the end thereof are the ways of death (Proverbs 14:12). May the LORD God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be Thinkers with the knowledge and understanding that come from the Word of the LORD. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Nigh is the hour that I end my writings of the Sermons, which hour is nigh in the patience of understanding. I have done a good work though many believe not. I have not lied in any of the testimonies I have given upon this website: neither have I wasted my time these many years of writing that began in the Gentile year of 1979. But if any think I do not remember the loneliness of those days or feel the longsuffering that is even before me now, let him think again. A procrastinator and a parasite was I in the eyes of many; even delusional in the eyes of many unto this day am I. But I am not discouraged by my detractors, neither by the ridicule and ignoring from many: for I know when my writings shall end the knowledge that was written shall remain in the world without end. Let the thinker do his work: for the love of God pass all knowledge; and the peace of God pass all understanding. Indeed every man is right in his own eyes (Proverbs 21:2): so do that make the man right? This we know: “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise” (Proverbs 12:15). Hearken therefore unto wise counsel, whose counsel is Wisdom and Righteousness, which is the True Word of God. For many do seek wise counsel but find the Imitation of Christ, who has set his footsteps against the fullness of the Truth to lead many good hearts astray. So who shall guide one correctly that he follows in the right footsteps? Let the thinker, think! “Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things” (Galatians 6:6). Is He that teaches in all good things not the voice of God? And is the voice of God not the Holy Scriptures? Where is the Thinker? Is he not the Holy Spirit within you? The spirit men call the conscious and instincts, and volition? “Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established” (Proverbs 4:26): which establishment is the knowledge of wisdom, the thinker who can read between the lines even see through the clouds that eclipse truth. This we know: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord” (James 1:5-7). “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen” (Ephesians 3:20-21). POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE FRUIT TREE JANUARY 14, 2012 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the book of Psalms, saying, “BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper” (Psalm 1:1-3). May the LORD God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we who are trees planted by the rivers of water, which river is this: “And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” (Revelation 22:1-2); remain fruitful and multiply in the obedience of the LORD. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine among the race of every man upon the earth: It is written in the book of wisdom: “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life” (Proverbs 11:30). We are that tree O beloved seed of the African, and Asian, and European, and Indian, and Latino, and Arab, and Jew, because our fruit is the righteous works and doings of the LORD. In our labor to spread the Truth, we are not found among the many as it is written: “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man: but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 16:25). Who then can know the way? For even our way seemeth right unto us. But has He not said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (St. John 14:6). How then is a man confused in the way unless he has not learned the fullness of Jesus Christ Testimony (which is not ignoring St. Matthew 10:2-6, but knowing also St. Matthew 28:18-20), or been led astray by the many bogus versions of the Holy Bible. Know therefore that we are not like them who teach the Word in part and lean into their own understanding; but are sent to deliver many from the clutches of confusion and the ignorance of men. For many believe if the tree bear fruit, then the fruit is good. But He who said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; say, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit” (St. Matthew 7:15-17). So be not deceived: for many do speak with flattering lips and a double heart (Psalm 12:2) to lead many astray. Thus, “Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge” (Proverbs 14:7). But who shall have knowledge to know knowledge? It is written, “The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going” (Proverbs 14:15). Know therefore then, that every man must search the Scriptures for himself, and read for himself, and perceive for himself, and understand for himself. And if the man is true within himself, though his worship might be in error as the many that practice Christianity, and Judaism, and Hinduism, and Buddhism, and Atheism, and Islam as men know it; he will gladly receive correction when the Truth is spoken because pride has not capture his heart to close his mind to correction. This is the true servant of God: for it is not where you begin, but where you end. Verily I began as one foolish and naïve with ignorance all around me: But by the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ am I redeemed from the sinful nature to be an example for many: for I too have the thoughts and feelings of the common man, even the lusts and temptations. Surely every feeling and thought that is in every man have I also felt and heard within myself: So if I can change to overcome the sin and ignorance that is common to man, so can you also, no matter what age you are: for only when Judgment is set is it too late to change. So change O good people of the earth from the ways of a corrupt tree, which has no fear of the LORD: what then shall become of that tree? In the eyes of some, I am a sinner still; but in the eyes of God I have no sin, which is the mystery of God. For I am a good tree bearing good fruit. And because corrupt trees bearing evil fruit surround me, they scorn me that men might not partake of my fruit which shall set them free from the oppression of ignorance and sin. But this I know: “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit” (Jeremiah 17:7-8). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THRONE OF THE LORD JANUARY 7, 2012 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well before the throne of the LORD, whose throne commands obedience in the word of the LORD. May the LORD God of Israel, the Most High and Almighty God, and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all know that as the throne of the LORD is in heaven, so is heaven in the earth. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine who are not ashamed to confess my testimony before men: I salute you all this Sabbath with a holy kiss in the blessings of the LORD. Peace and Love be unto you from the God of Grace and Mercy. This we know O house of Israel: “The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation” (Psalm 132:11-13). Yea even we O Faithful and True shall sit upon the throne of the LORD, because the throne of the LORD is on earth even as it is in heaven. And if one should ask, How can the throne of the LORD be on earth? I say unto him and all who ask, Is it not written: “Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him” (I Chronicles 29:23). And if one should say, Is it not written, “Thus saith the LORD, the heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool…”(Isaiah 66:1); how is it so that Solomon as king of Israel sat on the throne of the LORD?: for we have read, “The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven…”(Psalm 11:4). Herein is the spirit of understanding that every servant of God must have: By every word of God must a man live; so let us learn the fullness of the Word, which is both Old and New Testaments: for did not the apostle Paul write unto the Church of God, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are” (I Corinthians 3:16-17). Know therefore then, that, the temple of God is in you undefiled if you obey the word of God, which is knowing the New Testaments are greater than the Old Testaments and that the Testimony of Jesus Christ (the red letters of the Holy Bible) is the chief. “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this” (Isaiah 9:6-7). Thus hear this everyone of you who stand on the side of my detractors: for I speak unto you the same as the prophet Jeremiah: “Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD: for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart” (Jeremiah 3:14-17)“And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord GOD shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end” (St. Luke 1:30-33). And let the people say, Amen. Here is wisdom: Upon the throne of the LORD is a Spirit because God is a Spirit: and when the new heaven and earth come, the throne of the LORD shall be upon the earth because the Holy City of Jerusalem shall descend from out of heaven (Revelation 21:1-2). And the spirit of a man shall not sit upon that throne on earth though he that sit upon it is a vessel of human flesh: for the throne of the LORD is the habitation of Justice and Judgment with Mercy and Truth (Psalm 89:14), whose guide is the Holy Bible (Authorized king James Version): therefore by every word of God with Jesus Christ Himself the Chief Cornerstone shall the throne of the LORD on earth be governed by the Spirit of Righteousness that God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) REINS – PART TWO DECEMBER 31, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in these words from the book of Job: “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me” (Job 19:25-27). May the LORD God of Israel, the Most High and Almighty God, and His beloved Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all repeat these words with sincerity from the Psalms of David, “The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins” (Psalm 7:8-9). Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the seed of the European, and the Latino, and the African, and the Asian, and the Indian, and the Arab, and the Jew: As I give testimony this Sabbath on the eve of the Gentile new year, I speak from the reins of the Faithful and True, saying in the words of David: “I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalm 16:7-11). “TRULY God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. Verily, I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works” (Psalm 73:1-28). Amen. Indeed by the LORD God am I made wise to know why the wicked prosper, and why those that deal very treacherously are happy: for if I learn anything, let it be the word of the LORD. So in the word of the LORD do I give testimony this Sabbath from the prophet Jeremiah: “RIGHTEOUS are thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins” (Jeremiah 12:1-2). Thus we know the wicked are planted and given root to bring forth the fruit of deception, which are men whose words speak endearment of God, but whose purpose is far from Him. These are false prophets and wolves in sheep’s clothing who are sent to chastise, even capture the foolish and ignorant. These are the same as our Lord and Savior so said when He stood before us in flesh: “a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit” (St. Matthew 7:17). Hear these words therefore that you be not deceived by the convincing tongue of a lying man or woman: for if we learn anything, let us learn our reins are the word of the LORD. And what say the word of the LORD: “My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. Let no thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old. Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding” (Proverbs 23:15-23). Amen. To all who have laid eyes on the Sermons: It is not a man that writes unto you; but a Spirit that is Truth, and Wisdom, and Instruction, and Understanding. If I have spoken one word not according to the Holy Bible, reprove me before the world according to the written word of God that I be corrected in the Judgment of Truth. Yet, no man can: so who am I? Should I discontinue the Sermons because many listen not and more believe not? Should I be discouraged because my waiting is long; even by those who stood with me then turned away? Should I doubt the words I have spoken and the faith I confess? If I have learned anything, I have learned that the word of God endures forever; and that Prophecy cannot be changed. Surely as it is written so is it so: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of No-e were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that No-e entered into the ark. And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (St. Matthew 24:35-39). Since the Gentile year of 1997 unto this day the sower of the seed parable has become evidence before my eyes the same as it is written: “And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred” (St. Mark 4:15-20). Be it your reins are found on the good ground, which are those that when they hear the Word, receive it, and bring others to hear the Word of Truth. And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) REINS DECEMBER 24, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in my reins, which are guided and controlled by the faith of Jesus Christ. May the LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may your reins which are your true intentions be guided by the Spirit of Righteousness. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the seed of the African, and Asian, and European, and Indian, and Latino, and Arab, and Jew: As hyenas wait for a scrap to fall from the tree of a leopard’s kill, so do men wait for me to be enticed that they might make an immediate report. So patiently and secretly they lie in wait, spying on my footsteps not only for the appearance of sin, but provoking that I might speak unadvisedly (without counsel from God). And if one should say, Are you not a prophet of God: how then can you be provoked to speak without counsel from the LORD? Is one who claims to hold the Lamb’s book of life in his right hand not greater than the common man against enticement? I say unto those who question and agree: Have you not read the word of God, which is greater than my own? For what say the Scriptures: “They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips” (Psalm 106:32-33). So if Moses, a prophet and servant of God spoke unadvisedly, have not other prophets and servants of God spoken the same? Give an ear and understand the words I have just written: for that is not to say Moses wrote the Scriptures unadvisedly. Indeed I say unto you, and not me, but the LORD: Not one word from the writings of holy men is written without the counsel of the LORD: so the Bible (Authorized king James Version) is without any flaw, because all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God. But here is wisdom: Scripture is the Holy Bible; and the Lamb’s book of life (which is even before you now); even the Bible Gospel Told by prophet William Saunders Crowdy. And here is the wisdom on how a man of God can speak unadvisedly: In writing the word of God, Moses wrote as a Spirit; but as a man of flesh, his lips spoke both from the heart and reins of his flesh, which is subject to err by reason of human nature. And if one should ask, Have I spoken unadvisedly? I say, Nay: for not one word that is written by me on this website is without the counsel of the LORD. But these words that I am about to write shall anger many in the tabernacles re-established by prophet William Saunders Crowdy; but am I not sent to reveal all things? So verily I say unto you and not on my own, but after the counsel of the LORD, that prophet William Saunders Crowdy spoke unadvisedly when he ordained Sister Elder Morris as Chief Evangelist in 1906 and crowned her Queen. For if we are the Church of God at Corinth which is the First (I Corinthians 1:1-2) of Seven Keys, is it not written in the fourteenth chapter of I Corinthians: “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church” (I Corinthians 14:34-35). But this we know by the Spirit of Understanding that both man and woman should read the Scriptures in church, and that both man and woman should give testimony in the church, but a pastor a woman should not be; that is the law of the Church at Corinth. To the inhabitants of the earth whose eyes and ears bear witness to my testimony: Though I know my words will anger many, should I not speak? Indeed I am a deceiver if I do not reveal all knowledge of the truth beginning with my own self. For am I not also an ordinary man prone to the same desires of the common man? Like hyenas my enemies wait to report my sins; but before they do I do that no man might justly call me a hypocrite. Do you not know that I must experience every trial of a prophet; the falling down and rising up? Verily I say unto you, These words from the prophet Jeremiah are the same as my own: “For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him. But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause” (Jeremiah 20:10-12). So boldly and confidently I say the same as David: “JUDGE me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD: therefore I shall not slide. Examine me, O LORD, and prove me: try my reins and my heart. For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congreagation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked. I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is fill of bribes. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD” (Psalm 26:1-12). Who among you are ready to be judged and examined by the LORD? What is the girdle of your reins? And what is your purpose in the church? And what is your reason for praising God’s name? Is it like the many that go into the church to fashion their fine clothing and seek admiration, even worldly gain and fornication? Examine yourselves to learn your true purpose for doing the things you do: for many do good works for selfish reasons: and many do good works that wickedness might capture good hearts. So beware and look into the soul of your mind, that you might find the reins that guide you to the ways of life. For this we know: “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man; but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 16:25). So be it then that you “Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding” (Proverbs 23:23). Look into your mind first and not your heart: for this we know: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) Beloved Assembly of the Firstborn, the Church of God and Saints of Christ: As righteousness is the girdle of Christ loins and faithfulness the girdle of His reins (Isaiah 11:1-5); so is it with all who stand in the Even Place, which is Holy and True. Amen.

I am well on this third Sabbath of the ninth month, which days are holy for the LORD. May the LORD God of Israel, the Most High and Almighty God, and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may this third Sabbath of the ninth month be remembered at the end of my days. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine who walk in the vessels of human flesh the earth call Europeans, and Asians, and Africans, and Indians, and Latinos, and Arabs, and Afro-Americans (Jews): Surely if I write not another word, I have written enough; so what should I write again but that which He give me to write, which is divine inspiration from the Spirit of Truth. Surely I write not for my own sake, but for the sake of others, that one who has not heard the Voice of Truth might hear: so I continue by the will of God which strengthens me to write unto you each Sabbath day, that you by I and I by you be inspired to continue in our patience for that great day of the LORD. Behold O Readers of this website! In the weariness of my flesh do you give me strength in the flesh to continue my writing: and now in the ninth month of the Gentile time of 2011, the quality of my sermons is not lessened in knowledge or interest: for my writings is a bible, even the Lamb’s book of life. And those who recognize the words I write recognize the words because of the spirit that is in them, which spirit is Truth. Some say I boast, but I boast not, save the Lord Jesus Christ. And if my testimony is false according to the written Word, then why has no man proven me in error? Surely many have tried and all have failed, because there is no opinion to the Truth. So let the blessing that is given for the hearer be received: for I am but a messenger; and a slave for Jesus Christ. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) TENTH DAY OF THE NINTH MONTH DECEMBER 10, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this tenth day of the ninth month (December), which is the Sabbath of our LORD. May the God of Israel and our Lord Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all prepare for the fast of the ninth month and the seven holy days of atonement therein. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine that span the seven continents: I Cornelius, a fellow servant of the Lord Jesus Christ salute you all in the word of the LORD, which came to me in a vision and in a dream, that I through the Spirit of Truth might enlighten many to see through the clouds that eclipse truth. May your days O children of God be filled with peace in the grace and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy One of Israel, our Redeemer. Beloved: It is a common thing that both men and women confidently say there are none perfect, neither has any been perfect. But I say unto you as it is written in Holy Scripture beginning with the first book of the Holy Bible: “These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God” (Genesis 6:9). And did not our Father which art in heaven command Abraham to be perfect? Is it not written: “And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect” (Genesis 17:1). Would the Scriptures say Noah was perfect if he was not? Would God command Abraham to be perfect if he could not? Moreover did our Lord Jesus Christ not say, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (St. Matthew 5:48). Here is wisdom and the perfect understanding: The heart knows truth but the mind must accept truth: when the mind accepts the truth of the heart, righteous shall that man be unto the doings of perfect. Perfect my friend is correcting your mistakes not to repeat the same mistakes. Perfect my friend is confessing your sins with a sincere heart that you might not commit sin. Perfect my friends is living your life according to the characteristics of God’s children (St. Matthew 5:43-48). Search the Sermons and you shall find the sermon Perfect. Beloved: I ask no man to follow me, but to follow the word of God: and if the Word is followed I am found walking in the same path: so who am I but a brethren and fellow servant of Christ. If I inspire you, by you am I inspired; so am I greater than you? Surely there is a first among equals, of which I am one: but before honor is humility (Proverbs 15:33); so I remain humble in the knowledge of my calling and anointing. Those who see me in the Spirit I am, see me because their mind has accepted the Truth of my words. But though many have accepted, some of them have now fallen away because they lack patience and endurance; even the faith they claim to have. And many are carried away into captivity, which is not by man’s hand, but by the ignorance of their own minds to deny the Truth of the LORD and lean into their own understanding. But in this ninth month on the Hebrew calendar, we prepare to fast for 24 hours, and for seven days of atonement by rising from our beds each morning at 4am for prayer. This we do in remembrance: “Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jo-ha-nan the son of E-li-a-shib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away. And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem; And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away. Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain. And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel. Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives” (Ezra 10:6-11). He that has an ear let him hear. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE CHURCH OF GOD DECEMBER 3, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the Church of God, which is not made with man’s hands, but is the body. And if one should say, Man’s hand can now make the body (that is to say breast and buttocks implants, and liposuction, and plastic surgery, and steroids); let that one know I speak of the spiritual body, which is sown natural, but raised spiritual. May the Lord God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ the Holy One of Israel, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and let no man enter into a building to worship God without first knowing the temple of God is in you, which is the Church of God. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: We who are faithful and true are anointed by the Holy Ghost to be Overseers that we feed the Church of God, which is our body that was purchased by the blood of the Holy Ghost (Acts 20:28), which is blood of Christ: So what man has right over his own body that he can do as he will? As Overseers for the Church of God on earth, we feed the unlearned with the Knowledge of the Truth; not according to our own interpretation, but as it is clearly written in Holy Scriptures: for is it not written: “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (I Corinthians 6:19-20). So again I ask, What man has right over his body? Many are confused by interpreting that which needs no interpretation: being prey for the Deceiver. But we have heard the apostle Paul the same as he so spoke in the ancient of days: “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them” (Acts 20:29-30). How much convincing are these deceitful men, that they might lead disciples away from the Church of God? Verily some recite the scriptures in a loving tongue with praise for the name of Jesus Christ: and some deny Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior after praising him the day before: these are wayward pastors who covet silver, and gold, and apparel, because their love is for their own gain. These went out from among us as Paul so prophesied, but they were not of us. So let us, the True Overseers of the Church of God, feed the bodies of the Church with the knowledge that is written which need no interpretation: “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that an-ti-christ shall come, even now are there many an-ti-christs; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth” (I John 2:18-21). Beware then even of those that confess the name of Christ: for what confession is sincere unless the worship is in spirit and in truth. Surely the true ministers of God minister for necessities only; knowing it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35); and knowing not to seek your own wealth, but another’s wealth(I Corinthians 10:24). For He say directly, who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “The first of all the commandments is Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these” (St. Mark 12:29-31). Let us therefore be guided by the Spirit as Paul was so guided by the revelation of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:12) to preach to the Churches of God: for we heard him say, “I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. I have shewed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:33-35). Beloved inhabitants of the earth: It is that many enter a building in search of God, believing the pastor therein is the bishop of their soul. But these wayward pastors take advantage of the unlearned flock to swindle their silver and gold in the name of tithes and offerings. These wayward pastors are the same as grievous wolves, who prey on the poor and foolish to take from them until there is not a penny left to take. These are those who call themselves apostles of Christ; convincing many to believe their every word, that they might sell their prayers and books to gain more than necessities. These live in million dollar homes and wear expensive clothing, which they have not earned by honest labor. Verily I say unto you, If a building is built for the worshippers of God, it is built for a gathering and assembly in fellowship: And if tithes and offerings are taken, it is for necessities (to pay the rent or mortgage of the building, even the necessities of the pastor which is not a million dollar home or expensive clothes). For tithes and offerings are not gifts for God, neither gifts for the pastor; but are for the necessities of the Church and flock, that if any member should fall on hard times and be in need, money is available to help them the same as charitable donations to community based non-profits. This is the good work of tithes and offerings; so think no other way; for I have told you no lie. Why give tithes and offerings to God as if He needs anything? Why seek a temple made with man’s hands as if God dwells there? Have we not read: “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things” (Acts 17:24-25). Surely the Church of God is not a building, but a spiritual body in the fullness of the Truth: so when you enter a building for fellowship or the assembly of saints, the Church of God must be in you. And if the Church of God is in you, then you cannot be deceived because you have received an unction from the Holy One to know all things. Yet this is certain: The deaf of understanding and the blind of knowledge are many: and who can be a better example of them than those who follow Jehu unto this day (II Kings 10:31) in the Temple Beth-El. Let us pray for them and that entire ilk that one might have an ear to hear the Truth and an eye to see the Lies. Amen.

I am well. May the LORD God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all know as it is written: “In your patience possess ye your souls” (St. Luke 21:19). Dear brothers and sisters of mine among the Faithful and True: Surely the hour is nigh for me to ascend to the place from which I descended. I have been crucified as I so prophesied in the early sermons, yet men saw it not. I have risen from the dead, yet men know it not. Surely I am a soul among souls whose testimony must be spiritually discerned: for none can see me, neither He, without the third eye, which is the eye of Spirit and Truth. This is the eye of the LORD as it is written: “Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee” (Psalm 33:18-22). Beloved: we who are begotten with the Word of Truth by the will of Jesus Christ are precious souls upon this earth for the purpose of enlightening those who sit in darkness that they might receive the Light that saves the soul, which Light is He that say even unto this day: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls” (St. Matthew 11:28-29). Surely we are saved in the fear of the LORD and the grace and truth of Jesus Christ: why then should we not seek to save others when by nature we love our neighbors as ourselves? So as servants of God and the Lord Jesus Christ we preach to the inhabitants of the earth in faith and works as it is written: “Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” (James 1:16-25). Dear brothers and sisters of mine from the faithful seed of the European, and Asian, and Latino, and African, and Indian, and Arab, and Jew: Because we are examples of truth on earth, being precious souls, we know a man is risen from Satan to pursue us, and to seek our soul. This is the hunter of precious souls, the Woman of Babylon, who is a woman with the face of a man, whose statue is erected upon waters as if she can walk on water; and whose face the earth call Lady Liberty. And she leads many, both sons and daughters, night and day to hunt with lies and divining lies to capture and devour souls. For as it is written so is it this day: “There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken” (Ezekiel 22:25-28). “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it” (Jeremiah 6:16-19). Hear this therefore as it is so written in the book of Ezekiel: “Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you? And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies? Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 13:17-23). Verily it is so and certain: The righteousness of a father shall not save the son; neither shall the unrighteousness of a son condemn the father. Every man, woman, and child, will be judged according to their own works. For this we know: “The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live” (Ezekiel 18:20-22). For we know: Joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repent, more than over ninety and nine just persons that need no repentance (St. Luke 15:7). Save ye your souls, whose souls are in your hand to save; because the blood of Jesus Christ has freed your souls from the clutches of the Great Whore, even from the gates of hell. And let the people say, Amen.

May the LORD God of Israel, the Most High and Almighty God, and His Dear Son Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may you all teach and sing the song of Moses, which is the Law and God’s mighty works before the eyes of men; even prophecy and forewarning. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Let all vain and foolish beliefs be put away from the midst of you: for Abraham is Hebrew, and Moses is Hebrew, and Jesus Christ our Lord is Hebrew. And if Hebrew then Jew: and if Jew then the salt of the earth. Surely I have no time to waste debating men who claim Christianity as the doctrine of Christ, or Islam as the doctrine of God, or Judaism as the way of Israel. Surely if I write not another sermon I have written enough knowledge to justly reprove all testimonies against mine. Yet even wise men are against me; and those whose honor I have restored. But in this regeneration of Jesus Christ, can there be anything different than when He walked among men in flesh? Certainly not: for did He not say, This generation shall not pass away until all things are fulfilled? So be it then: but I know the song of Moses and sing it to the end: who then should I fear save the LORD God of Israel, the Most High and Almighty God? And is my fear not a reverent fear, which is contrary to the foolishness of man? He say who is Christ our Lord and Savior, Fear not him that can kill the body, but He that can kill both body and soul in hell. Now hear this all ye that have an ear: As the LORD God knew that when Moses died the children of Israel would go whoring after other gods to forsake Him that departed the Red Sea for them to walk safely across, and to break the covenant which He had made with them (Deuteronomy 31:16); and that His anger would be kindled against them, that He would hide His face from them, and many evils and troubles would befall them for all the evils they have worked in turning unto other gods (Deuteronomy 31:17-18): He said unto Moses as it is written: “Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant. And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness: for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware” (Deuteronomy 31:19-21). “Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel. And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee. And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, Take this book of the law, and put in side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death? Gather unto meal the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the works of your hands. And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended” (Deuteronomy 31:22-30). Now in closing this Sabbath I recite these Scriptures in the hope that is Christ Jesus the Lamb: “And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest” (Revelation 15:1-4). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) DARKNESS NOVEMBER 5, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because the Light in me shines through all Darkness. May the Almighty God and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all see through the Darkness that eclipses Truth. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the seed of the African, and Asian, and European, and Indian, and Latino, and Arab, and Jew: It is written, “When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness” (Job 30:26). Have we not experienced those words in this life? Looking for good, yet finding evil: and waiting for light, yet darkness remains. How then shall we find our way? This we know: the LORD made darkness His secret place (Psalm 18:11); because He hid His wisdom in a mystery (1 Corinthians 2:8), which are the dark sayings (Proverbs 1:5-6), that men might meditate in the word of God and learn not to fear the unknown. So what is darkness? Let us start from the beginning of days: for we know in the beginning that darkness was upon the face of the deep until God said let there be light; and there was light. And the LORD God made two great lights; the greater light which is the Sun to rule the day, and the lesser light which is the Moon to rule the night. And the lights were good; because God was in both. But man in his free will turned to sin and sought darkness as the place to hide his sins from the sight of the LORD: but is it not written, “He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death” (Job 12:22). Nevertheless the earth became full of evil hearts, and the LORD was dishearten and destroyed every living thing from off the face of the earth save Noah and all that Noah took into the Ark. And there was a new earth: but the Devil was not removed: but hid in darkness that he might not be seen while he sought men for prey. And as the years passed and righteous and holy men were born, yet even they were subject to Darkness because of the curse of sinful flesh; so the LORD went into darkness to comfort them. For what say the book of Psalms: “In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears” (Psalm 18:6). “This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. Thou callest in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder…” (Psalm 81:5-7). “The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness” (Psalm 18:20-28). Indeed “HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler” (Psalm 91:1-4). But “Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: Therefore be brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder” (Psalm 107:10-14). Know therefore then this secret: The secret place of the LORD in darkness is when we close our eyes in sincere repentance and prayer: for by prayer, which is our cry, are we heard by the LORD and delivered from the horror of Darkness, the same as Abram (Abraham) was delivered (Genesis 15:12) . Beloved children of God: As we were cursed into Darkness by the sin of Adam and Eve, we were delivered from Darkness by the Glorious Light of Jesus Christ, who was sent into the earth as the Light of the world that the powers of Darkness have no more places in us. Even the darkness of God’s secret place is made a Light to us by the testimony of Jesus Christ, whose Light is the Knowledge of the Truth. For we know in the days of the Old Testament our fathers had to find the secrets of the LORD in darkness because darkness covered the earth: but now by reason of the New Testament we have a Light to guide us through darkness that darkness have no place in us. For of John the Baptist it is written: “And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways: To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace” (St. Luke 1:76-79). And of Jesus Christ it is written: “What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops” (St. Matthew 10:27). Know therefore that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in testimony brought to light the dark secrets of God; the same as John the Baptist gave light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. Moreover what say He, Christ our Lord and Savior: “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness” (St. John 12:46). So I say unto you all as the days at hand: “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Ephesians 5:8-11). For “ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light” (I Peter 2:9). “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all” (I John 1:5). “Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth” (I John 2:8). But this we know because we have heard and seen as it is this day: “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God” (St. John 3:19-21). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE GREAT PRETENDER OCTOBER 29, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well though the Great Pretender surrounds me, whose spirit inhabits many that are called friends, and clergy, and holidays, even sons and daughters and mothers and fathers. May the LORD God Almighty and His only begotten son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all with spiritual discernment in the knowledge of the truth recognize the Great Pretender that we be not deceived by the Art of Deception. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine upon the seven continents: Herein again is another sermon that offends many because the testimony is against the Great Pretender who has deceived many as little children to love Halloween and Christmas that they continue this pagan tradition through their adulthood. But should I keep silence for their sake? Should I not speak truth to my neighbors who they and you are? Is it not written: “These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD” (Zechariah 8:16-17). “Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another” (Ephesians 4:25). Surely if the truth offends you, the truth is not in you. What then are you? Should I let ignorance continue? Should I let many remain unlearned to be among the simple when we know the simple inherit folly (Proverbs 14:18)? If I am a servant of Christ, then I am bound to speak all truth and teach all things because of the unction received from Christ Himself. For this we know: “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple” (Psalm 19:7). So I speak the written word of God, which are the testimonies of the LORD into the ears of the unlearned and simple; knowing as it is written: “Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple” (Psalm 119:129-130). Therefore be not offended by the testimony of the LORD: and remove yourself from the company of the Great Pretender; who not only pretends to serve the LORD (Romans 16:17-18), but also pretends to be your friend (2 Samuel 3:25), even pretends to be God Himself (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). Beware of the Great Pretender, who pretends to serve the Lord Jesus Christ, but is serving his own belly with tithes and offerings, even by selling his books and prayers. Beware of the Great Pretender, who pretends to be your friend to learn your going out and coming in (that is your home, your job, and social places), even to know your secrets; that you might be betrayed when the opportunity come. Beware of the Great Pretender, who pretends to be the LORD, but is the imitation of Christ, as is all versions of the Holy Bible are bogus save the Authorized king James Version. Beware: for the Great Pretender is a spirit that inhabits human flesh, whose men and women go about with a contrary doctrine to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to indoctrinate pagan rituals as fun and holy days, even as blessings from God. These have their sights set upon the hearts of the simple and unlearned, and hate me to become a Scorner of my testimony for fear the truth expose them and the simple become wise. But what say Holy Scripture: “When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge” (Proverbs 21:11). And here is knowledge: “THE Proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain un-to wise counsels. To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the LORD is the beginning pf knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:1-7). Beware O children of Israel: for the Great Pretender pretends to be the seed of the aboriginal Jew: but what say He our Lord and Savior: “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee” (Revelation 3:9). Beware O Church of God and Saints of Christ whose tabernacles from the ancient of days were re-established by prophet William Saunders Crowdy: for the Great Pretender has built a Temple Beth-El and maketh their chief Rabbi a prophet, and a king, even Christ. But what say the First Epistle of John the Apostle, who is a Hebrew and a Jew: “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that an-ti-christ shall come, even now are there many an-ti-christs: whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us” (I John 2:18-19). Amen. Beware O people of the earth: for the Great Pretender has deceived the whole world as it is written in the book of Revelation: “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” (Revelation 12:9). Surely my testimony utter dark sayings of old: but he that has understanding let him understand: and he that seeks understanding let him ask with a sincere heart and he shall receive. Now in closing my sermon this Sabbath day I speak as the spirit of David because I am so: “GIVE ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born: who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God” (Psalm 78:1-8). Beware: for the Great Pretender is even fathers, and mothers, and brothers, and sisters: for if it was not so, then Christ our Lord would not have said: “For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household” (St. Matthew 10:35-36). Even said He: “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (St. Matthew 7:22-23). Beware: The Great Pretender is a Great Pretender indeed! But we have the Stone of Truth! Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE 22ND DAY OF THE SEVENTH MONTH OCTOBER 22, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this Sabbath day, which is the 22nd day of the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar. May the LORD God of Israel and the Holy One of Israel our Lord Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the blessings of this day be upon you all. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine upon all the earth: The world has made it a strange thing for a black man to be a Jew: but what say the Book of Revelation when describing one like unto the Son of man? “And his feet was like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace” (Revelation 1:15). Let the interpreters interpret as their will: for it matter not the color of a man’s flesh, because all races of man are called into the body of Jesus Christ, therefore Christ appears as the flesh of every race of man. But as I am sent to speak the Truth, I speak the Truth from beginning to end: for we know that Adam was formed from the dust of the ground, therefore his flesh was made the color of dirt. And we know Eve was formed from the rib of man, therefore her flesh was made the color of the bone. And we know that by the seed of Adam and Eve the flesh of all men and women were given birth: but when I say Adam was the flesh the earth call a black man, the so-called white man becomes angry: and when I say Eve was the flesh the earth call a white woman, the so-called black woman becomes angry. Quickly are many offended because the Truth is against their wishes; even their faith and love: but am I to shut my mouth to the Truth because the Truth offends many? I say NOT: for if the Truth offends you then the Truth is not in you: and if the Truth is not in you, how then can your body be of Christ? Dear inhabitants of the earth: Believe it or not, these writings of mine shall be read upon the new earth the same as the Old and New Testaments are read upon this earth and the earth to come. For many believe it not so, but it is that the writing in this website is the Lamb’s book of life; even the little black book I hold in my right hand. Surely lies and all falsehood shall not continue: so put away the days of Sunday, and Christmas, and Easter, as if these days are holy to the LORD; the same as I put away the days of Yom Kippur, and Rosh Hashanah, and Hanukkah, which are Hellenism rituals disguised as ancient Hebrew celebrations the same as many disguise themselves as Jews in a vile doctrine called Judaism. If I speak the Truth, let me speak all Truth, beginning with the Truth of myself. For I have told you from the beginning that I was redeemed from a liar and sinner more: and I have hidden no sins of mine from you unto this day that no man might justly call me a hypocrite. So think not of me as someone un-natural: for I am a man of flesh the same as you, with the same temptations and common thoughts. I overcome the nature of my sinful flesh by prayer in the fear of God, that He keeps me from the people, places, and things that corrupt a good seed. I myself am not strong enough to overcome the world: but if I apply my will to the LORD, He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world, so I have overcome the world by following the will of God. Surely the unbeliever is he that say, What is the will of God? But we know the will of God are the commandments of God; even the footsteps of Jesus Christ. And we know His commandments are not grievous: for what say Holy Scripture: “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous” (I John 5:3). Though I am hated by many without cause, and ignored by many because the Truth has offended them; even feared by many because they believe my testimony is a cult: let the Truth be the Judge! And this we know is the Truth: Every word of the Holy Bible (the Authorized king James Version) knowing the New Testament is greater than the Old, and every word that came directly from out of the mouth of Jesus Christ Himself supersede all that is written. Those words are not my own, neither my own understanding, but the same as it is written in Ephesians 2:20. And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE WILDERNESS OCTOBER 15, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the wilderness of the people that serve and worship the Almighty God. May the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, the Holy One of Israel, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in. “As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight” (St. Mark 1:3); so be it this day. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine who are listeners and believers as James: We all are called into the wilderness because only through the wilderness may we find the kingdom of God the same as the children of Israel were led through the wilderness to find the Promised Land. Know therefore then why it is written, “that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22). “MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness” (I Corinthians 10:1-5). “Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: But God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (I Corinthians 10:6-13). Shall we not know then, there is a holy place even in the wilderness? For as our Lord Jesus Christ was so tempted of Satan in the wilderness for forty days, yet was He also ministered unto by angels in that same wilderness (St. Mark 1:13) to eat the same spiritual meat and drink the same spiritual drink. And shall we not know then, that, the wilderness is all around us this day as a concrete jungle, even within us? So let us pray, and worship, and serve God continually: for He has set a Voice in the wilderness to guide us in the way the same as He set Moses to guide our fathers through the wilderness for forty years. But who is able to endure? Who can overcome the doubtful mind and temptations, yet alone the needs of human flesh? For as we travel through the wilderness in the straight paths that lead to the kingdom of God there comes a time when our flesh is without food to eat and water to drink the same as our fathers in the days of Moses: but what say He, the author and finisher of our faith: “And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you” (St. Luke 12:29-31). Surely wherever the servants of God are, the LORD God is also; forsaking none. So let us trust in our God, by whose written miracles alone suffice us: for “as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life” (St. John 3:14-15). “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)” (Hebrews 3:1-11). “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief” (Hebrews 3:12-19). Surely in the moment that we are baptized and receive the Holy Spirit are we sent into the wilderness the same as our Lord Jesus Christ (St. Mark 1:9-13)that we might endure the fiery trial: so I say as it is written: “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy” (I Peter 4:12-13). For is the prophecy of John the Baptist not so: “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire” (St. Matthew 3:11). But who shall endure the fiery trial, which is days, and months, and years? “As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 20:33-38). And let the people say, Amen.

Beloved brothers and sisters of mine who are few though many: It is an easy thing that I should preach no more when few dare listen and others turn away. Am I so egotistic that I am boastful of self? Am I a hypocrite when I have hidden no sin of mine from my testimony? I am neither egotistic or a hypocrite, yet men call me such. So I often have the thought, Why should I continue to preach to the world? But the thought fades quickly the same as a drop of water on a hot surface, because the Spirit in me has sent me to fulfill a purpose not of my own, but is the will of God. So I continue despite the silence and abandonment by many; even the many thorns and thistles. I am not discouraged, but encouraged by the ear of one. And from that one which began with my wife Brenda, and then Ysmael, and then others, I am still preaching to the world each Sabbath day since the Gentile time of 2001. And though many words have been spoken against me, yet no man has proven my testimony in error according to the written word of God; yet I have revealed their belief as contrary to the written word of God; so who am I? Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the faithful and true seed of the Asian, and Indian, and African, and European, and Latino, and Arab, and Jew: By faith are your names written in the Book of Life; but only by your works can your names be kept from being blotted out. Know therefore then why it is written: “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also” (James 2:26). So if I preach faith and not works, then my words are vain; the same if I worship God in spirit but not in truth. I know many believe in their heart that Christianity is truth: but truth it is not. I know that I offend many because I speak against that vile doctrine called Christianity, and Judaism, and Islam as men know it: but if the truth be told all faiths are vile save the faith of Christ, which is the Testimony of Jesus. Let none think that I am against a Christian: for I too am Christian, though Hebrew-Christian. So let us know the meaning of a word: for a Christian is a follower of Christ, whose footsteps are the Seven Keys. But this thing called Christianity is manmade, which meaning is anti-Christian, because the Sabbath day which is Hallowed is changed from the seventh day of the week to the first day of the week; and Christmas which is the pagan worship of Mithra is honored by disguising the day as the birth of Jesus. Be not deceived as you so have been: for a light has shined through the thick dark clouds that you might find the way to Truth. Not by my words, but by the Holy Scriptures: the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible, which is the only untainted version of the Bible before the eyes of men. Repent therefore by the knowledge of truth, that, the sins of the unlearned are blotted out from you. For by faith do many believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, but by works must they serve Him, which works cannot be done without the knowledge of the truth. For He say and not I: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (St. John 4:24). “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began” (Acts 3:19-21). For this we know because our Lord Jesus Christ so said it from His throne in the kingdom of heaven: “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels” (Revelation 3:5). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) STEDFAST OCTOBER 1, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the hope that is Christ Eternal, which hope is steadfast in the way of the LORD. May the LORD God of Israel and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be steadfast, which is unmovable and always abounding in the work of the LORD. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine among the vessels of human flesh: “If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands to-ward him; If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. For then shalt thou lift thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: Because thou shalt forget thy misery; and remember it as waters that pass away: And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety. Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee. But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost” (Job 11:13-20). So hear these words I pray: for I speak as the Spirit so wrote: “GIVE ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God” (Psalm 78:1-8). Know therefore then that we as parents, and as man and wife, and as brothers and sisters, and as saints of Christ, have a duty to teach the way of the LORD to our generation and the generation to come, that they may continue to be steadfast and teach each generation to come thereafter the way of the LORD, which is the only way to receive riches without end and honor without end and life without end. “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip” (Hebrews 2:1). “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end” (Hebrews 3:12-14). Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) HUMBLE AND HUMILITY SEPTEMBER 24, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because I am Humble even in Humility. May the LORD God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be clothed in Humble and Humility. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the seed of the African, and Asian, and European, and Indian, and Latino, and Arab, and Jew, whom the LORD God loves dearly: “The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility” (Proverbs 15:33). But many are brought low even into a haughty spirit because of pride, which is against the humble mind: these are those that do not accept correction and are stubborn-hearted; even believe they are less of a man if they walk away from confrontation. But the Scripture say, “a living dog is better than a dead lion”: for this we know: “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). So remove yourselves from pride and all who walk with pride, as from the haughty spirit and all who possess such. For Pharaoh refused the word of God delivered unto him by Moses because of pride and a haughty spirit, which led to his destruction and all of Egypt: yet if he had humbled himself from a stubborn heart, would his firstborn not have been saved from death and Egypt from destruction? So the honor Pharaoh sought in his stubbornness caused by his pride to refuse humility prevented him from receiving the honor that awaits those who humble themselves, which honor is from the LORD, which is an honor eternal; the same as the honor of Moses, and Israel, and Jerusalem is eternal. So let the ways of Pharaoh be an example to know this: “A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit” (Proverbs 29:23). For did not Moses humble himself in spirit to leave the prince hood of Egypt and become a slave? And did not Christ our Lord humble Himself in spirit to ride on a donkey and not a horse? Surely by reason of pride many refuse to be humble and are cast down: But is there not forgiveness when one is cast down by pride and the haughty spirit? Verily by the intercession of Christ blood we have forgiveness to be saved if we humble ourselves to repent with humility. For this we know: “When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person” (Job 22:29). Humble yourselves therefore even in the smallest of things: so be not too proud to walk because you do not have a car. Neither be high-minded to be believe the wealth you have and the successes you have done are by the power of your own hand. For in whose words we trust it is written: “When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and has built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; Who fed thee in the wilderness with man-na, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” (Deuteronomy 8:10-18). Beloved brothers and sisters of mine throughout the earth: It is the flaws in a man’s character, which is the nature of his human flesh that leads to his demise: know therefore then why it is preached that we must walk after the Spirit and not the flesh, of which pride and the haughty spirit is. Surely pride leads to destruction and the haughty spirit to a fall, which will capture us if we remove our contrite heart and humble spirit delivered unto us by the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. Surely our spirit as a vessel of human flesh must be revived the same as our faith must be increased, which is lead by the contriteness of our heart, which is given from the birth of our baptism in Jesus Christ Name: for by a good conscious is repentance and forgiveness done, which is humbleness. “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye” (Colossians 3:12-13). “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones” (Isaiah 57:15). For is it not spoken from He that knows best: “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (St. Matthew 18:3-4). “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (James 4:10): for in these words do we trust: “By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life” (Proverbs 22:4). Know therefore then that no man can receive riches without end, and honor without end, and life without end, except by humility and the fear of the LORD. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) TROUBLE SEPTEMBER 17, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the testimony of the Sermons, in whose Spirit I am kept from trouble and delivered from trouble. May the LORD God of Israel, the Most High and Almighty God, and His beloved Son Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be delivered from the trouble that walks the earth. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine out of the seed of the African, and Asian, and Indian, and European, and Latino, and Arab, and Jew: Trouble surrounds us, and overtakes us at times because of the nature of our human flesh that brings us into iniquity; even by reason of the decisions we make that are right in our own eyes. Trouble inherits the earth because trouble is a trial, and a tribulation; even a snare from the Devil. Such is why it is written: “Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward” (Job 5:6-7)b>. For whom among us have not seen trouble? Yet, because we are faithful servants, our God has heard our cries and delivered us from out of our troubles. For in our prayers we do make vows, and we fulfill our vows as we have promised: and because we keep our promise, He keeps His promise to us. For this we know: “When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay” (Ecclesiastes 5:4-5). Many do suffer their mouth to cause their flesh to sin because they vow to change their ways and remove themselves from worldly pleasures if the LORD deliver them from out of their troubles: but when they are delivered from trouble they revert back to that from which they came the same as a dog that eats his own vomit: these are those that go to church regularly in time of trouble but return not when delivered from trouble; and those that cry to be free from the clutches of the whorish woman or abusive man but return to them when they are freed; even the slothful who returns to his slothfulness: these are hypocrites, and born sinners, and fools. But we who are faithful and true follow as it is written: “I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble” (Psalm 66:13-14). Indeed it is only God that can deliver us from trouble: for this we know: “Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies” (Psalm 60:11-12). So let us pray: even in the Psalm of David (because even as servants of God yet have we sinned whether by abiding in a false doctrine or by the nature of our human flesh): “Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies. Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee. Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none” (Psalm 69:16-20). “Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies sake” (Psalm 31:9-16). Amen. Beloved Faithful and True: We trust that our God shall deliver us from our trouble and give glory to Him by fulfilling our vows. For in whose words we do trust, we have heard: “Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me” (Psalm 50:14-15). But those that do not fulfill their vows are the same as hypocrites and unfaithful. And though they are full of confidence that they will be delivered from their trouble, this we know from whose word we trust: “Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint” (Proverbs 25:19). So let ears hear: “For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?” (Job 27:8-9). So envy them not: for the prosperity of the wicked is a snare of the Devil to seduce many; even to maintain the foolishness of man. For many do prosper in the world; having more than their heart could wish; believing their power is in their own hand. These are corrupt men and women who speak wickedly concerning all things, because even their prayers are sin. And though they appear not in trouble as other men, or plagued like other men, they deem themselves blessed: but pride is their compass and violence is their clothing and lies are their words. So hear these words from the book of Psalm as I end my Sermon this Sabbath day: “For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no dands in their death: but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches” (Psalm 73:3-12): but this we know: “Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied” (Proverbs 27:20). Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT SEPTEMBER 10, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well. May the LORD God of Israel, the Most High and Almighty God, and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we be found always abiding in the Fifth Commandment (Exodus 20:12) as we abide in all the commandments of God. To the so-called Christians and all inhabitants of the earth: Surely if a man do not believe every word of my sermons, he believe nothing of my sermons: so if any say he believe this part of the words I preach but not that part; he is the same as it is written in the General Epistle of James: “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10). For how say a man I believe in the God of the Holy Bible, yet believe in the New Testament and not the Old, or believe in the Old Testament and not the New, or this Scripture and not that Scripture; when the Spirit of God has written them all the same as the Spirit of God has written these sermons I bring before the eyes of the world? Let the wise be gathered among the few: for did He not say who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (St. Matthew 7:14). Surely if my testimony is in error, then do the will of God whom you say you believe and show my error according to the Holy Scriptures you claim to follow that I might be corrected. For we know: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (II Timothy 3:16). “For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth” (Proverbs 3:12)<.b>. So: “Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty” (Job 5:17). So turn not away because I correct you, even as a parent corrects their child. For if the LORD do not love you, then I would not be sent by Him to correct you. This day I give testimony on the Fifth Commandment: but if one violates any commandment, he is guilty of violating every commandment. Beloved Sons and Daughters: The Fifth Commandment reads: “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee”. But who is thy father and thy mother? Did He not say, who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name” (St. Matthew 6:9). So our Father is He which art in heaven; but even he that do the will of God. For this we know because our Lord and Savior so said it: “For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother” (St. Matthew 12:50): the same as Jesus answered and said unto them, “My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it” (St. Luke 8:21). So my father and my mother which stand before me in the vessel of human flesh, but the Spirit of the LORD do guide them because the end of their conversation is the Truth; are set before me even as signs to teach and guide in the way of the LORD. For have we not read the book of Proverbs: “My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck” (Proverbs 1:8-9). And if one should ask: What is an ornament of grace? As with all questions of the Word, I answer with the Word: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou doest embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee” (Proverbs 4:7-9). Receive then the wisdom of a mother and the instruction of a father; and you shall grow as a righteous child that your days are long upon the land. For there are many distractions and many detractors in the world, who seek to corrupt a good heart and instill a doubtful mind: so let us remain in the word of the LORD which is the instruction of thy father and the law of thy mother. For David said to his son: “And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever” (I Chronicles 28:9). So in his wisdom learned, Solomon wrote to his son: “My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakes, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life” (Proverbs 6:20-26). Let our children therefore obey their parents: for the law of a mother is strictness for effective guidance and discipline; those are the chains about thy neck as written in Proverbs 1:9. But this we know: Not all children walk in the guidance of their parents: for many are disobedient even rebellious to forsake the law of the LORD and serve other gods, which are the pleasures of the world, which is the way of the wicked. But even adults are children the same; forsaking the instruction of their father and the law of their mother: so are they not called to become babes again because they must be born again? For He said, who is Christ our Lord, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (St. John 3:3). For the Truth of God is hidden from the wise and prudent of this world because the world is carnal: so they cannot see, neither learn the things that are the Spirit of truth unless they become as newborn babes to desire the milk of the Word. Hence understand the Scripture: “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes” (St. Matthew 11:25). For out of the mouth of babes is praise perfected: hear then these words of the apostle Peter: “Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby” (I Peter 2:1-2). Here is wisdom: “They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them” (Proverbs 28:4). Therefore let us not give up easily on directing our children back into the way when they go astray: but let us know there comes a time when wisdom must overshadow love because wisdom is the principal thing. And in wisdom we know the Word, which cannot be changed: for did He not say who is Christ our Lord: “For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household” (St. Matthew 10:35-36). Make sure therefore then by the knowledge of the Word, that, the vessel that is your mother and father is guided by the Spirit of the Lord; even the vessel that is your children; and brother, and sister, and friend; even wife and husband. For by these we do love greatly: but He say who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me” (St. Matthew 10:37). Let wisdom therefore always overshadow love: because the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). Now in closing my Sermon this Sabbath day, I say this to the sons and daughters, and to the fathers and mothers, as it is written in the book of Hebrews: “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Remember them which have rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:5-8). Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) FIRST SABBATH OF THE NINTH MONTH SEPTEMBER 3, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this first Sabbath of the ninth month in the Gentile time of 2011. May the LORD God of Israel, the Most High and Almighty God, and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may this first Sabbath of the ninth month be hallowed as each Sabbath day. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine upon the seven continents: I have not and will not speak a doctrine that is popular in the world: so few there will be that follow me. Even the tabernacles of which I was born are against me; so should I be ashamed? Nay: for if the Gospel of Christ is the doctrine I teach, who shall be ashamed at the end? Many read my sermons waiting on a sign from heaven that they might believe I am the truth: but is there a greater sign from heaven than the Voice of Truth? We who are called to be messengers of the Gospel are not called by signs and wonders for the eyes of flesh, but by the Spirit of Truth: and because our testimony is the fullness of the truth, no man can find fault in our words according to the Holy Scriptures (Authorized king James Version only): but even so many believe not still, but wait on a sign for the eyes of flesh. But He say who is Christ our Lord and Savior, a wicked and adulterous generation seek a sign. So we bring no sign but the Voice of Truth, which is the same sign our Lord Jesus Christ so brought when He gathered His apostles. For this we know because it is written: “Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. And when he had gone a little father thence, he saw James the son of Zeb-e-dee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets. And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zeb-e-dee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. And they went into Ca-per-na-um; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes” (St. Mark 1:16-22). So the greater sign is the Voice of Truth, which gathers the heart and mind of every righteous man. And because I come in that same spirit, even as one with authority, am I not rejected in the church the same as that unclean spirit that rejected Jesus in the continuation of those Scriptures (St. Mark 1:23-24)? Verily I am; because the past is the present. So be it: for prophecy cannot be changed. For this we know because it is written from the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ Himself: “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come” (St. John 16:12-13). Beloved seekers of the Truth: Blessed are the messengers of the LORD; but the hearers are blessed the same. Amen.

May the LORD God of Israel, the Almighty God, and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the signs of the LORD be perceived by you all. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine among the Faithful and True: It is written, “All things come alike to all”: for an earthquake and a hurricane come both to the righteous and unrighteous: but to the righteous the earthquake and the hurricane is a sign of the times; but to the unrighteous the earthquake and the hurricane is a sign to repent from the ways of The Sinner. So we are not dismayed at the signs from heaven: but the heathen, who are the ungodly, are dismayed because the hour of their judgment is closer. Take heed therefore of the signs, which are not only the forces of nature, but temptations in our daily walk, even the things that appear natural and common. For this we know, that, the sun and the moon are signs. For is it not written: “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years” (Genesis 1:14). So the signs from heaven are not calamities only; but guidance and learning. And this we know, that, many in Israel, though their fathers did see all the signs of the LORD in the land of Egypt, yet are they without the heart to perceive, and the eyes to see, and the ears to hear, unto this day as the same in the day of Moses. For is it not written: “And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day” (Deuteronomy 29:2-4): so is there any surprise that their children this day are also without an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear? Even this website is a sign to perceive; and for eyes to see and ears to hear that which is spiritually discerned. For we who are chosen in the spirit of God know the things of God, which are spiritual, and freely given unto us. And if we know the things of God, then we know all things that was, is, and is to come; because we have received our unction not from man’s hands, but from the Holy One whose Holiness is Christ Himself. So our testimony alone is a sign from heaven; because our testimony is the Spirit of Truth. And this we say as it is written, because the word therein is our Spirit: “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ” (I Corinthians 1:12-16). Amen. Dear inhabitants of the earth from the seed of the European, and Asian, and Indian, and Latino, and African, and Arab, and Jew: the LORD our God gave Moses a rod to work wonders and miracles as signs for the people to believe the LORD God sent him: but is not the testimony of a man in the Truth of the LORD a sign also that the LORD has sent him? Surely there are many even in the ancient of days who work wonders and miracles for the eyes of flesh in the name of the LORD to deceive the faithful and true with a false doctrine and vain worship: but we who are Faithful and True are not found among those that worship God in spirit but not in truth: and though there be some of a good seed found among the vain worshippers because they have not heard the Voice of Truth, the Voice of Truth will come to them and they will hear; because the LORD has given them by reason of their inheritance a heart to perceive, and eyes to see and ears to hear. So recognize the sign of God in the testimony of a righteous man: for even his words are the wonders and miracles of God. For if Jesus had not worked one miracle, would His testimony alone not be a sign that He is the Son of God, even the mighty God? Indeed signs for the eyes of flesh were given that men might believe: but even after these signs did men not doubt the power and presence of God; even the miracles worked by Jesus Christ? For if the people had believed the signs (miracles) in the land of Egypt, they would not have doubted Moses after they passed through the Red Sea: and if the people had believed the miracles worked by Jesus, they would not have crucified Him. So be it then that the sign of God’s messenger this day for the saints is the testimony of Jesus, which is the Spirit of Prophecy (Revelation 19:10): this is the Spirit of all the Prophets; and forget not Prophet William Saunders Crowdy who brought back the Ancient of Days that I might fulfill his work as Jesus fulfilled the work of John the Baptist. And here is wisdom for those who can receive: “Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness” (Isaiah 8:18-22). Beware therefore of the many false prophets even the false Christ to come; who worketh great signs and wonders before the eyes of flesh that even the very elect would be deceived if it were possible. Beware I say: for the signs of the apostles that cast out devils and spoke with new tongues have passed away. Beware therefore of the man that claim to make the blind see, and the deaf hear, and the lame walk; even work many wonders for the eyes of flesh: for he is powered by the Wicked One, whose coming is sent with the power of Satan to work signs and lying wonders, that the inhabitants of the earth might believe a lie (II Thessalonians 2:8-12). But this we know because our Lord and Savior so said it: “A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jo-nas” (St. Matthew 16:4). This world is a wicked and adulterous generation; legalizing homosexual marriages and making their own laws. Surely we know that New York City is Gomorrah and Babylon; and Washington, DC is Sodom and Egypt. Be patient therefore: for the signs of these earthquakes and hurricanes in unusual places is not the End of Days, but a sign of greater earthquakes and hurricanes to come in those same unusual places. Let the righteous take heed of the signs to know time is at hand: and let the unrighteous take heed of the signs to make a change in their ways. Surely our God is a Merciful God; showing mercy upon the sinners, of which we were one before our redemption. Be wise therefore and repent before the Door is closed: for as it is written in St. Matthew 24:4-31, so shall it be. Amen. THE SINNER AUGUST 20, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well. May the LORD God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may none of us fall into the way of the sinner. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Though we are righteous, we are yet only one step from falling among the sinner, the same as the sinner is only one step from returning to the righteous. Many believe because they have a good heart and do good things, they do not need to read the bible or sacrifice their time for bible study: but these are they that have leaned into their own understanding, which is lost and confused. For is it not written: “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand” (Revelation 1:3). How can a man be saved unless he is blessed? And how can a man be blessed unless he read and hear and keep the testimony of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy? Indeed many believe they are blessed because they worship God, even cast out devils in Jesus name, and do many wonderful works in the name of Jesus: But Jesus say: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (St. John 4:24). Therefore it is a necessity and no other way to worship God but in spirit and in truth. Many do worship God in spirit, but not in truth, so are they not sinners? Indeed they are: and I say it not, but Jesus saith, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (St. Matthew 7:21-23). So err not from the truth, which we teach, because we are made in the Spirit of truth. And our evidence is not our word, but the written word of God which we reveal unto you as it is written, that no man might fall into the way of the sinner. For the sinner is not only he that abide not in the way of the Church; but he that sit in the Church yet abide unrighteous, which is the same as worshipping God in spirit but not in truth. Surely to worship God in spirit but not in truth is to take the name of the LORD in vain, which many do. So the question continues to arise, What is the truth? He that has the truth need not ask the question, because the answer is the knowledge and wisdom of the Holy Scriptures. But even the Scriptures are a debate among men, that even the obvious is not believed. Who then shall save the unbelievers when they refuse the only hand that can save? Here is wisdom in the hope one receive understanding of the knowledge: “All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath” (Ecclesiastes 9:2). Surely we are only one step away from falling among the sinner, as the sinner is only one step away from returning to the righteous. Which step shall you take? POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) PETER and JAMES AUGUST 13, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because the Father of spirits, who is the Almighty God, has sent His spirits to comfort me. May the LORD God Almighty and His Dear Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the spirits that is Peter and James be acknowledged by us all. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Surely are you also dear friends of mine, who comfort me with acknowledgement; even by hearing the sermons I write in my labor for the LORD and His Truth. Let the ways of righteousness be counted among you, that you might guide the lost and unlearned to the way of Life, which is one Reality: for this we know: There are many truths, but only one reality. And many have become lost and are unlearned by reason of these many truths, which have sprung many faiths and baptisms and gods: But we know there is only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, which is the one reality of Jesus Christ; He that was, is, and shall be. So as Peter and James walked with Jesus on earth, and acknowledged Him, surely the past is the present; because God require that which is past. Know therefore then why the Father of spirits (Hebrews 12:9) has summoned the spirits of Peter and James to place their names upon the message board of this website for the world to bear witness of their calling and acknowledgement of the Truth: for we who are called to the Church of God as saints of Christ are called from the past: for is it not written, “That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past” (Ecclesiastes 3:15). Surely there is no such thing as a coincidence: for it is God who gives us all things. Know therefore why it is written: “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things we also speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (I Corinthians 2:12-14). So the Holy Ghost teach us the things men call coincidences, and imagination, and dreams; is the sight and presence of God on earth for the vessel of human flesh. Is it a coincidence that my name is Cornelius, and that I am born of a Jewish mother? Is it a coincidence that a man with the name of Peter and a man with the name of James have acknowledged my Spirit on the message board of this website? When does coincidence end and reality begin? Surely the natural man cannot receive things of the Spirit; which cometh from the things men call coincidence, imagination, and dreams; because they are spiritually discerned: but we have our senses exercised to discern both good and evil. This we know because it is written in the Gospel of St. Matthew: “And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and E-li-as talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for E-li-as. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that E-li-as must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, E-li-as truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That E-li-as is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist” (St. Matthew 17:1-13). How great then is Peter and James to be counted among Jesus as witnesses of that Holy Vision? Surely the topic this Sabbath is Peter and James because their spirits have acknowledged, but John is present too; so he shall be named of his own sermon, because he is worthy too. For did not Jesus keep all three closer to Him than any other during His days as an existence of flesh? Surely is it written in the Gospel of St. Mark: “As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James” (St. Mark 5:36-37). Verily our Christ walked with twelve disciples: but who did He take with Him when we went to pray in His final hour? It is written: “And they came to a place which was named Geth-sem-a-me: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch” (St. Mark 14:32-34). I Cornelius, the son of Helen, the daughter of Ruth and Earl, from the tribe of Judah shall write unto you of John in his own time: but this Sabbath is the sermon of Peter and James, whose spirits are made known on this earth by that which is spiritually discerned. So let the words of their spirit from the past be the closing of the sermon this Sabbath: “SIMON Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (II Peter 1:1-8). “JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, mothering wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” (James 1:1-8). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE FIRST SABBATH OF THE EIGHTH MONTH IN THE GENTILE YEAR OF 2011 AUGUST 6, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this first Sabbath of the eighth month in the Gentile year of 2011. May the LORD God of Israel and His Holy One heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may our Father, the God of all comfort, add His blessings upon you all. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine upon the seven continents: Grace and peace be unto you from the LORD God, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For as it is written: “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God” (II Corinthians 1:3-4): so be it so. For the LORD is not selfish, so neither is we: for are born to be helpers of others that our comfort is found in the comfort of others; because charity is greater than hope and faith. Surely our ministry is not for our sake, but for the sake of the unlearned, that they be not taken by the ignorance that leads to foolishness. And though men see us not with the eyes of flesh, we write unto them that they may acknowledge the Spirit in us, which saves. And though the affliction of our flesh is not yet, because the Fifth Seal is not loosen, we groan in the spirit and are troubled the same as our Lord Jesus Christ groaned in the spirit and was troubled (St. John 11:33): for our sufferings are in the spirit by reason of this carnal world. But we are not carnal minded: “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Romans 8:6-7). So our war is fought internally, that we remove the rival from within us, which is the carnal mind the works of flesh and sins of mankind. So as spiritual things are sown upon us by the word of God that we become embedded with the spiritual mind of grace and truth; this we know because it is written, “If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?” (I Corinthians 9:11). Let us therefore purge out all things carnal, that we may give testimony of a clean conscious with godly sincerity, saying, I call God for a record upon my soul. “For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. For we write none other things unto you, that what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus” (II Corinthians 1:12-14). Dear inhabitants of the earth: He that has established us in Christ, and anointed us, is God. And when men acknowledge us, so is God acknowledged by the Spirit within us: for we are not sent on our own, but by the calling of the LORD, to be messengers in a language that is common to men. And if one should say, Who needs a messenger when the Scriptures are the greatest Spirit? I say unto him and all who agree: If Satan send messengers to buffet and distort the way; should not the LORD send messengers to wipe away the clouds that eclipse the Truth? Surely the greatest sense is common sense: for what is book sense without common sense? Beloved: All who acknowledge our calling: we trust that you shall acknowledge unto the end: for though 10 years has passed since the beginning of this ministry, it is only the beginning of years to come before the day of our Lord Jesus Christ, which day is nigh though years away. So count not the days; because the days shall be shortened: But watch and pray: for time is at hand. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) PROFITABLE JULY 30, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? And if one should ask the same to me, I say, It is well is well with thee? May the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, and His Dear Son Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may that which is profitable unto all things, which is Godliness, be the work of us all. Beloved brothers and sisters of Mine who are not confused, but seek the understanding of the LORD, which is found only in the Scriptures known on the earth as the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible: Hear this as it is written and understand: “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (II Timothy 3:16). So who are confused, but those that believe contrary to the written word of God; even recite and teach from the many bogus versions of the Bible? Have they not departed from the faith because they have given heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils who speak lies in hypocrisy; appearing as godly men but are vile and without? Have not good men and women become foolish by the norm of Christianity and other faiths, which has led many astray? And what be this doctrine that forbids the man of God to marry; and this doctrine that commands to abstain from meats? Surely the misunderstanding of one has led many into confusion; even the unrighteousness of one. For we know it is written in a parable: “And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage” (St. Luke 20:34-35). Vile men have used that Scripture to forbid marriage among their church leaders (but if the truth be told it is done to hide their homosexuality): so am I contradicting the word of Jesus Christ Himself when I say the good doctrine teaches the man of God to marry? God forbid: for the New Testament is greater than the Old, and every word of Jesus Christ Himself supersedes all that is written; so let us know then, and understand, every word that was spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself: for did He not also say in another parable, “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh” (St. Matthew 25:1-13). Here is wisdom: “The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools” (Proverbs 26:7). And in regard of meats, which many teach to abstain from pork, even to be a vegetarian for health sake; did He not say, who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Bercause it entereth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man” (St. Mark 7:14-23). Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the true and faithful seed of the African, and Asian, and European, and Indian, and Latino, and Arab, and Jew: Let these words that I recite this Sabbath from the Holy Scriptures be profitable unto us all: so let us Read and Hear every word that we might do every word: “NOW the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; giving thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee” (I Timothy 4:1-16). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE 23RD DAY OF THE SEVENTH MONTH IN THE GENTILE YEAR OF 2011 JULY 23, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this 23rd day of the seventh month in the Gentile year of 2011. May the Lord God of Israel, the Almighty God and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may those who are called to endure be strengthen to fight a good fight, to finish the course, and to keep the faith that has sustained us unto this 23rd day of the seventh month in the Gentile year of 2011. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine called from the faithful and true that is the seed of the African, and the European, and the Latino, and the Indian, and the Asian, and the Arab, and the Jew; into the assembly of the Firstborn to preach the Word, Reprove and Rebuke, and to Exhort with all longsuffering and sound doctrine: for in the assembly of the Firstborn some are called to be an apostle, and some an evangelists, and some to teach, and some to learn, and some to write, and some to listen; but all are called for the purpose of making full proof of the ministry. Hear this therefore all who are called to be saints of Christ: “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full roof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” (II Timothy 4:1-8). Bless it be our Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood has redeemed us from the sinfulness of our ways, and whose Gospel has delivered us from the ignorance and darkness of our mind. So let us sing this Psalm of David: “I WILL extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Psalm 30:1-5). Beloved: I speak as it is written because my Spirit is the same: “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory” (II Timothy 2:7-10). “THOU therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier” (II Timothy 2:1-4). Let me say it again slowly: “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier”. For this we know as soldiers of Jesus Christ: “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled” (II Corinthians 10:3-6). Yea for sure, we MUST bring into captivity every thought in our mind to the obedience of Christ! For such is the workmanship of a good soldier, of which all who worships God in Spirit and in Truth so be. For our war is spiritual, because it is within ourselves, which is the war of thoughts: for not only must we battle the thoughts of evil; but the thoughts of flesh, which is the lustful mind, and sinful mind, and doubtful mind, and naïve mind, and foolish mind, and weak mind, and lost mind, of which all lead to wickedness unknowingly. So let us know within our heart the will of God that we might bring all contrary thoughts into captivity that those thoughts turn not into action in our vessel: for this we know as soldiers called and chosen by God: “For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit” (I Thessalonians 4:3-8). So let us endure the revilement we receive from men, and the grief of this life, even the wrongful suffering: for this we know as soldiers of Christ: “For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls” (I Peter 2:19-25). Amen. Peace and Love and Blessings be unto you all! POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) JULY 16, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this third Sabbath of the seventh month of the Gentile calendar. May the LORD God Almighty and His Dear Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all find rest in the Sabbath of the LORD. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: You who have not fallen by the wayside as many so have: I Cornelius, a brethren and fellow-servant whose calling is not above your own, salute you all with a holy kiss: for as the Messenger of the LORD is blessed so are the hearers of the Messenger blessed the same: so why should men hide themselves from me? Have I spoken a lie in the Church of God? Have I not revealed the works of my human flesh that no man might call me a hypocrite? Though I am justified by the grace of Jesus Christ, even by the mystery of God’s will, I have kept no secrets of my fleshly days from my testimonies. Who is the hypocrite but he that accuses others yet hide his own sins: even he who do not practice what he preach. Like fools many set themselves away from me, as if I am a deceiver of men and delusional. But can he without error in the Holy Scriptures be a deceiver? And can the same be delusional? So are they not fools who believe so? Verily every step I take is directed by the LORD: for the temptations that come naturally upon every man, even the manifold temptations, prevail not over me. Even that which appear to be sin to many, may not be sin in the eyes of the LORD, because of the mystery of God’s will; which mystery we learn in the story of Jacob and Esau, David and Bathsheba, even the parable of our Lord and the ten virgins. But if any man seeks understanding that he may learn the mystery of God’s will, let him know the End justify the means if the End is Righteous. And here is a secret of God’s will revealed by Holy Scripture, which many have read but few understood: “And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father. Nevertheless for David’s sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem, Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite” (I Kings 15:3-5). If a man has read the days of David; then shall he know the mystery of God’s will by that Scripture alone even the grace of Christ: So let my words be few this Sabbath day, that a man might think on the Scriptures given, to learn the mystery of God’s will, which is even the grace of Christ. Let a man therefore be wise by reason of the written word of God: for what say the Holy Scriptures: “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath call you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy” (I Peter 1:13-16). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE TRIAL JULY 9, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the Trial that is upon us all, which is the tribulation that must be, because we all must be tried. For this we know being saints: “For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried” (Psalm 66:10). May the LORD God Almighty and His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the Trial for our endurance be endured. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the faithful and true seed of the African, and Latino, and Indian, and Asian, and European, and Arab, and Jew: To my dear friend and brother James, an apostle, whom many are unaware; yet made known by his testimony on the message board of this website: Peace, Love, and Blessings from On High be upon you all. I Cornelius, a servant of the LORD God and slave for Jesus Christ, salute you all this Sabbath as I do each Sabbath with the kiss of the Holy Ghost upon your lips; saying to my God even as it is written in the book of David, because my Spirit is the same: “Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress” (Psalm 17:3). So I am not discouraged in my Trial, neither by my tribulations: for even the word of the LORD is tried (Psalm 18:30). And what messenger of the LORD has not been tried? Even every true worshipper of God? What then is our Trial but Tribulation, which we cannot avoid if we seek the kingdom of God: for is it not written: “Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22). So be it then, that we must find patience in our tribulation (Romans 12:12): for this we know without doubt: “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God” (II Corinthians 1:3-4). So by our knowledge of God’s word, whose word we trust, because even His word has been tried; we glory in our Trial by our faith. Hear this then as it is written: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” (Romans 5:1-5). Know therefore then that the Trial of our faith is for our purpose, even God’s purpose; that by tribulation we strengthen patience in our flesh, to gain experience which is knowledge for the mind, that we have hope in that which we have not seen with the eyes of flesh. For the apostle Peter has written unto us: “Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory” Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” (I Peter 1:6-9). So in closing I recite from Peter once again: “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy” (I Peter 4:12-13). Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE MESSIAH JULY 2, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the knowledge the Messiah is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, whose beginning and end is the salvation of the Jews. May the Almighty God and the mighty God Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all know the Messiah is the Holy One of Israel, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Some will say, How can Cornelius call Jesus the Holy One of Israel and not be confused: Is it not written in the Bible he recite: “For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel” (Isaiah 30:15)? How then can Jesus be the Holy One of Israel? That Scripture alone is the evidence that Cornelius is mistaken and confused. And others say boastfully and confidently, There is no doubt this man Cornelius is delusional and lost in translation: for the Bible he recite say also, “Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God” (Isaiah 44:6): so how say Cornelius that Jesus is God and not be mistaken, and confused, and delusional, and lost in translation? Surely I am not mistaken, or confused, or delusional, or lost in translation: but those who say such of me are so. Surely if one had heard the word of Isaiah 44:6, he would have heard as it is written; Thus saith the LORD the king of Israel, AND his redeemer the LORD of hosts; so who is the LORD of hosts? Surely two are speaking in that Scripture though one. So who are the two that are one? I Cornelius, the son of Helen, the daughter of Ruth and Earl, from the tribe of Judah speak with the understanding of the LORD, which is the written word of the LORD. For if we read one Scripture, let us hear every word of the Scripture: and if we read one Scripture, let us read another that we might find the understanding of the LORD: for is it not written in that same book of Isaiah, even the very next chapter: “Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker” (Isaiah 45:11): so who is the Maker of the Almighty God? There is NONE: know therefore then that the Holy One of Israel is the LORD Jesus Christ; who if a man knew the wholeness of the Scriptures would know that it is written in the New Testament concerning the people of Israel Deliverance from Egypt: “Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ” (I Corinthians 10:1-4). So let a man read both Old and New Testaments, that by the Old he might understand the New. For is it not written in the Old: “The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God” (II Samuel 23:3). And is it not written: “He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he” (Deuteronomy 32:4). Dearly beloved inhabitants of the earth: As Jesse so said on the message board of this website, “This is real!”; so is it so; and not for the simple-minded. And as James so said on the same message board, “Bless your heart and soul. Remain to be a servant”: so be it so. Surely this ministry though un-believed by many is neither the work nor place of a cult; but given that those who seek the truth of God can find the truth of God. Men debate abundantly on whether Jesus is the Messiah; or why Jesus is not both God and Son of God; or why Jesus started a new religion called Christianity. All these topics are the debate of men: but those who reject the Truth in their heart are given a reprobate mind as it is written: “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful” (Romans 1:28-31). Of them, this ministry is not: for we know Jesus is the Son of God, yet also God; therefore the Messiah. For we have read and do understand the words that are written in the epistle of Paul to the Hebrews, saying: “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows” (Hebrews 1:8-9). He who can read and understand let him read and understand Hebrews 1:8-9, that he might know why our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so said: “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him” (St. John 5:22-23). Amen. So is He not the Messiah who delivered us from sin; even the prisoners from hell; by whose blood we are saved and redeemed? How say a man then, that, Jesus Christ is not the Messiah; and that man not speak a lie? Do we not know that our Deliverance begins with our mortal bodies, which is the cleansing of our sinful flesh, which is cleansed by the blood and baptism of Jesus Christ? Surely the simple minded cannot understand: but if the Father has committed all judgment unto the Son, then the Son is the Messiah. For what say Jesus in the last chapter of Revelation (we know these are the words of Jesus because the words are written in red letters): “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last” (Revelation 22:12-13): for did He not say earlier, “I and my Father are one” (St. John 10:30). Who then is a cult but those that oppose the Truth of the Holy Scriptures, which is the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible, which I recite without spot or wrinkle. Surely I am not given that I might speak the words that men want to hear; nor to be quiet on controversial things: I am given by the Spirit, which is the Spirit of Truth, even the embodiment of the Holy Ghost; that men might hear the words they need to hear, which is the Voice of Truth. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) LET NONE BE MISTAKEN JUNE 25, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well. May the LORD God of Israel and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and let none be mistaken; for the Truth is every word of my testimony. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine, you who are called as the faithful and true: The sermon this Sabbath is one of few words, yet let none be mistaken; for I am not weary to write, but do my work according to the Spirit that is given; for a man of God can speak much with few words. Know therefore then, that I am a man of God; not because I say so, but because it is evident by the truth of my testimonies, which come without hypocrisy, because I reveal all things, beginning with my earthly flesh. And I say earthly flesh, because there is a heavenly flesh: for did not Enoch, a man of earthly flesh, translate into heaven alive? And did not Elijah the same? Moreover, did our Lord Jesus Christ not ascend into heaven with his flesh? Let none be mistaken: for there is an earthly flesh and a heavenly flesh, the same as there is an earthly man and a spiritual man: let both become one that is spiritual and heavenly, which will guide you into the whole duty of man as it is written: “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Beloved in habitants of the earth: Let none be mistaken: for I Cornelius follow none save Jesus Christ Himself only. And if any follow me, he follows not I, but Jesus Christ Himself. For the Word is that which I follow, even all the saints follow the same. And the Word is not man-made; so let none be mistaken by the many bogus versions of the Holy Scriptures, of which all has removed the name of Jesus from Hebrews 4:8. For how say a man, “For if Joshua had given them rest”, when the original Scripture say, “For if Jesus had given them rest”? Is that scripture that removed the name of Jesus not polluted; even that whole version of the bible? Let none be mistaken: for there is only one Holy Bible before the eyes of men, which is the Authorized king James Version. And I have not spoken those words as an opinion: because there is no opinion to the truth. Many say, What is the truth? But He answer, who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” (St. John 18:37). Moreover, did He not also say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (St. John 14:6). And many say, The Authorized king James Version is man-made because it was translated from the original tongues of the Scriptures. But if I, being a Jew of Hebrew blood, can stand with both the Old and New Testaments of the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible and no man can prove me in error, how authentic then are those Scriptures? For what prophet or apostle of the Holy Scriptures appeared before men not as a Hebrew? Is Abraham, the father of all men not of Hebrew blood? And Moses also; and Elijah, and Job, and David, and Solomon, and Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, and Daniel, and Hosea, and Amos, and Jonah, and Micah, and Nahum, and Habakkuk, and Zephaniah, Haggai, and Zechariah, and Malachi, and Matthew, and Mark, and Luke, and John, and Peter, and Paul, and James, and Jude? So shall God’s Word not continue in the blood of a Jew, when He is the God of Israel and Jerusalem is the Holy City? Let none be mistaken: for though I preach against the doctrine of Christianity, because if the truth be told it is the doctrine of the Antichrist; I am not against the Christian; because even as I am a Jew I am also a Christian: because if the truth be told, the definition of a Christian is a follower of the Messiah. Who then is the Messiah? We who are Jews of the True Heritage know the Messiah as He that spoke these words: “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews” (St. John 4:22). Let none be mistaken: for the seed of the aboriginal Jews are those the earth call black people in the land of America, and in South Africa, and in the West Indies; even scattered abroad as the seed of the Filipino and all races of men. May our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all! Amen.

And if one should ask the same to me, I say, It is well is well with thee? May the Lord God of Israel and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the Sabbath be hallowed as the Almighty God has commanded. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: all who love the Lord Jesus Christ in the truth of His name: On this day do we give praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, by whose blood we are redeemed and born again in the spirit of His grace and truth: so is Jesus not our father even as God Almighty is our Father? Surely if the Father and Son are one (St. John 10:30); and we must honor the Son even as we honor the Father (St. John 5:23); then Jesus Christ is our father as God Almighty is our Father. But let us not forget to give honor to our earthly father who has given birth to our flesh, which flesh by spiritual guidance has overcome the world by overcoming the nature of sinful flesh by the grace of Jesus Christ, the father of our earthly fathers. For this we know because it is the written law: “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee” (Exodus 20:12). So as the world prepares to celebrate Father’s Day in honor of the earthly father, we give honor to our earthly father and praise for our heavenly Father, both the mighty and Almighty God. So let the sermon this Sabbath be few in words and more on the meditation of our heart for the mercy and blessings bestowed upon us by the spirit and truth of God Almighty. For this we know: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (St. John 4:24). So he that calls on the name of the LORD without the truth of the LORD, has he not taken the name of the LORD in vain; thus violated a commandment of God, which is the law in heavenly places? Surely James wrote: “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10). So who can worship God in spirit but not in truth and be righteous still? And who can keep every way of God, yet commit adultery, and not be a transgressor? Even in those words is a mystery, which the sermon Justified revealed. But who can be Justified save he that worship God in spirit and in truth? Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE WITHERED JUNE 11, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well. May the LORD God of Israel and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the withered not be counted or found among us. To my sister Jill by whose few words I am refreshed: and to all my brothers and sisters of the faithful and true: I Cornelius, a servant of God and slave to Jesus Christ, salute you all with the kiss of the Holy Ghost, whose embodiment I am. Bless it be he that believe and doubt not; for fear he find himself among the withered, of which some were advocates of the Sermons but have now faded away as a shadow that hides from the Light. So let us my beloved brothers and sisters which bring forth good fruit from the Vine and Branch and Fig Tree that is Christ be refreshed in our faith that we receive the patience to endure the doubtful mind, which smites the heart that it might wither like grass without water; and that men might forget to eat their daily bread, which is the truth of God. For the enemy is within you even as the enemy is around you: for have we not read the sermon Rival, to know that we must capture our sinful thoughts? So let us begin with the renewing of our mind, which is the renewing of many minds, because every feeling brings a thought and every thought brings a feeling: so as we have many thoughts and feelings, so do we have many minds. For there is a mind of ignorance, and a mind of foolishness, and a mind of depression, and a mind of anger, and a mind of laziness, and a mind of selfishness, and a mind of greed, and a mind of envy, and a mind of jealousy, and a mind of temptation, and a mind of its own way. Those minds are the enemies that reproach us all day; and are sworn against us; that our days might be like a shadow that decline from the light of the LORD, being withered away by the issues of life. But what say David: “HEAR my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily. For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass” (Psalm 102:1-11). So let us become refreshed in the patience of saints, that we wither not as the fig tree that is cursed because it cannot bring forth good fruit: for we are blessed O assembly of the Firstborn with a special blessing that is the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which has redeemed us from the many minds of sin by the renewing of our mind, which is our holy spirit. For we are like trees in a defenced city, whose defence is the Light of the Lord Jesus Christ, who waters us with His truth and feeds us with His word. But even as we are, so were others who have now fallen and become desolate that they are forsaken as the fig tree that our Lord Jesus Christ so cursed. What then shall become of them? Is it not written: “Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour” (Isaiah 27:10-11). And let the people of understanding say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) REFRESHED JUNE 4, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because I am refreshed by the Spirit of the Holy Ghost, which has lifted me up in my old age that I might inspire others as they inspire me. May the Lord God Almighty and His beloved Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be refreshed in the everlasting word of God, which is even the spirit of repentance. To my brother James, and Peter, and Darren, and Maurice, and Antoine, and all who are inspired by the Sermons: I salute you in the grace and truth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: May the blessings of our God be upon you always; for by your kind words to me am I refreshed in my spirit to continue my labor for the Knowledge of the Truth. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the faithful and true: this day, which is the Sabbath day, is a day of rest that we all might be refreshed to the strengthening of our flesh as it is written: “Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed” (Exodus 23:12). Even as we are refreshed on the Sabbath day, do we not know that our LORD is refreshed also? For is it not written in the second book of Moses: “Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed” (Exodus 31:16-17). The Scripture say the LORD rested on the seventh day and was refreshed: So even as the Sabbath was made for us to rest and be refreshed; the Sabbath was made for our LORD also to rest and be refreshed. How important then is it for a man of God to be refreshed? Now, are we refreshed by the Sabbath day only? Nay: for by reading and hearing and speaking the word of God are we refreshed also; even by the confession of our sins are we refreshed: For have we not read: “I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer” (Job 32:20). So we know that we must serve as ministers that are apostles of Christ who receive and spread the spiritual things in truth to those in carnal things from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth, for both Jew and Gentile, and from both Jew and Gentile. For though our journey might be via the internet, we journey the same as those on foot. For the things that are made available to us in this modern age is made available for the purpose of our convenience and the effectual workings of God’s power. So let us speak as it was written by the apostle Paul, in the knowledge that we are the same as he in his travels: “But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. For it hath pleased them of Mac-e-do-ni-a and A-cha-ia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Ju-dae-a; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed” (Romans 15:25-32). For this is the ministry of saints, which ministry is Undisputable Truth. Hear therefore this O people of the earth who have an ear to hear: “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity. I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Steph-a-nas, that it is the firstfruits of A-cha-ia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. I am glad of the coming of Steph-a-nas and For-tu-na-tus and A-cha-i-cus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such” (I Corinthians 16:13-18). Beloved: Is not the spirit of Steph-a-nas, and For-tu-na-tus, and A-cha-i-cus, the same as the brethren that write kind words to me on the message board, and who minister also to the readers of this website? Are they not helpers and fellow-laborers in the Word? Truly they are. Are the women that write unto me in prayers and blessings not the same as the spirit of Priscilla; even the husband and wife the same as Priscilla and her husband Aq-ui-la? Verily it is so: so I say unto you all as it is written: “Greet Priscilla and Aq-ui-la my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles” (Romans 16:3-4). Surely I am refreshed my brothers and sisters by the kindness of your words; even to know by you that my labor is not in vain. So as I come unto many, whether by my own or by you, I come the same to refresh and be refreshed. For we are ministers of God: not of our own will as the many wayward pastors and hypocrites; but of the will that is God and the spirit in us that guides our human flesh. And we are sent in our own repentance (for we were sinners before we were redeemed by the grace and truth of Jesus Christ), and for repentance that the truth might refresh the ignorant and foolish mind; even guide the lost in darkness to the light of salvation. For we know first-hand the time of weariness, and the moment of weakness: so let us be examples of perseverance and the patience of saints. Now on the second day of the fourth month on the Gentile calendar of 2011, I wrote on the message board the music of reminisce from years past that refreshed me. Some wondered the relevance of that post: but here is the wisdom those that wondered could not find: it is written in the days of old: “But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of jesse the Beth-le-hem-ite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul. And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer. And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him” (I Samuel 16:14-23). Hence we know the effect and power of music. Now in closing let me say this to my helpers and fellow-laborers of the ministry: “I thank my God. making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother” (Philemon 4-7). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) MAY 28, 2011 　 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this last Sabbath in the fifth month of the Gentile calendar. May the Lord God Almighty and His beloved Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may this day, which is the twenty and eighth day on the Gentile calendar be a comfort to you all. To my beloved brother Matthew and all the Hearers of the Sermons: As I near the anniversary of another year in human flesh, I feel the age that is 50 years more than; even the longsuffering of days I cannot count. It is as my uncle Paul so told me: Old age shall come suddenly. But I am blessed in the mercy of the LORD by His loving kindness, which is better than life, to walk upright though my knee ache as I climb the stairs; and to be in good health though my body fat increases due to lack of exercise. I do this day feel old though my mind is young and my heart is too: but will I not be buried in a good old age? Here is wisdom: “The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head” (Proverbs 20:29). So am I old in the eyes of the Father? It is written: “Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers” (Proverbs 17:6). Beloved: Let my words this Sabbath day be few in thy rest and an inspiration to us all: for I speak not from the testimony of men, but in the word of the Most High God, saying as it is written: “O GOD, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory, so as I have see thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy righ hand upholdeth me. But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped” (Psalm 63:1-11). Amen. FROM THE BOOK OF JOB MAY 21, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? And if one should ask the same I say, It is well. May the Lord God of Israel and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the word from the book of Job be health to your flesh as every word of God is health to your flesh. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Before I enter into my sermon this Sabbath day, let me say how foolish those are that listened to a false prophet to believe this day, May 21, 2011 is Judgment Day. Though few they be, they are too many, and of every race of man. When shall this ignorance that leads to foolishness end? For can the days of God be numbered? Even the days of this earth? Have not Christ said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (St. Matthew 24:35-36). So be not misled: for by every word from the book of Revelation shall Judgment Day be so. But let this day be another example of how foolish these so-called believers of God are so to readily believe the testimony of a man that say God has given him a vision. For this we know: The only vision from God is in accordance with the written word from the only Holy Bible before the eyes of men, which is the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible, which word is not interpreted other than by written Scripture. So let no man, or woman, or child say I interpret Scripture: for I interpret nothing in the Scriptures, but show you the Scriptures that interpret. For is it not written by the apostle Paul whose writings the Gentiles do trust: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (II Timothy 3:16-17). Yea, but, because many read the bogus versions of the Holy Bible, they are easily misled because the scriptures therein given from the inspiration of men and not God is easy to read but tainted. Even with the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible are many misled, because men use their own understanding to interpret that which needs no interpretation. So let it be so that the fools continue to walk the earth as worthless fig trees: for as people were when Jesus walked among us in flesh, so are they also this day; because He said, who is Jesus Christ, after He prophesied the End of Days, “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled” (St. Luke 21:32). Know therefore then why the generation this day are fools, and vipers, and evil, and adulterous, and faithless, and perverse. Even so must I Cornelius suffer many things as He, and be rejected of this generation, because prophecy cannot be changed. Beloved Readers and Hearers of the Sermons: My Sermon this Sabbath is from the book of Job, beginning in the second chapter after Satan smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. It is written: “Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; EL-i-phaz the Te-man-ite, and Bil-dad the Shu-hite, and Zo-phar the Na-a-ma-thite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven. So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great” (Job 2:11-13). These three men are true friends of Job, even brothers to him, to sit down on the ground with Job for seven days and seven nights to mourn with him and comfort him. These fit the saying of the Proverb first revealed to me by my friend and brother Ysmael (who I love dearer than them all): “A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” (Proverbs 17:17). Now after seven days and seven nights, Job cursed the day that he was born (Job 3:1-3) and began to envy sinners (Job 3:17-19), saying also, “For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came” (Job 3:24-26). Let the Scriptures interpret and not I the state of Job mind. And this we know: If you fear anything other than the LORD God, that fear will come upon you: this is your fear as an existence of human flesh, which is a fear we all have naturally in some form or another because nothing can precede what the flesh feels; because we were flesh on this earth before we became a spiritual being on this earth. So think not that you are exempt from the fear in human flesh; but know that you must overcome that fear, which is the same as overcoming the world, which we do by divine nature, which is the nature of the Spirit and not the flesh. Now after Job had spoken those words in 3:3-26, which are the words of a doubtful mind that is natural in us all; his friend El-i-phaz said this to Job to restore his faith: “Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hoipe, and the uprightness of thy ways? Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed” (Job 4:3-9). And when Job complained again of his mounting grief, his friend Bil-dad said to him: “Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers: Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. They that hare thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought” (Job 8:20-22). And when Job complained again of a life that seemly is unfair, his friend Zo-phar said to him: “If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands to-ward him; If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away: And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety. Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee. But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost” (Job 11:13-20). Amen. This we know O faithful and true people of the earth: A friend in times of trouble encourages you to restore the faith and hope necessary to endure your trials and tribulations, which come from out of the issues of life. For the story of Job is an example for us all, that none have not or will not face trials and tribulations, even that which we fear as an existence of human flesh, which fear is the same to some and different to others. But even when our fleshly eyes cannot see God, let those eyes see God in the presence of our friends who mourn with us and comfort us even from a distance: for when misery fall upon us as fear, it is by human nature that we forget the past blessings and see not the hope of tomorrow, but dwell on the misery at hand: so let us remember the past that we might find hope in the future: for this we know because it is written: “So El-iphaz the Te-man-ite and Bil-dad the Shu-hite and Zo-phar the Na-a-math-ite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job. And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before” (Job 42:9-10). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE BRANCH, THE VINE, AND THE FIG TREE MAY 14, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well as a branch, and a vine, and a fig tree that is planted by the LORD with sweetness and good fruit. May the LORD our God and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the righteousness of the branch, the nobleness of the vine, and the fruit of the fig tree be the blessing of us all. To my beloved brethren Luke and all who minister the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ: let every man be counted in his testimony before the LORD though many hear him not: for you are heard and made known to the world of your predestination that is a branch of righteousness, a noble vine, and the fruit of a fig tree planted by the LORD with the Root of Jesus Christ. For this we know: the branch, and the vine, and the fig tree have a root. And this we know as it is written: “A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved” (Proverbs 12:3): for He say, who is Christ our Lord and Savior, “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star” (Revelation 22:16). Now shall I speak in words of a hard understanding; not to prevent any from learning, but because the Spirit has made it so. Surely a branch is not the root of a tree: but the root of the tree giveth life to the tree which giveth life to the branch that needs the vine to bear good fruit. Now here is the interpretation of those words, not from my own understanding, but as always according to the written word of God: “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me. and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (St. John 15:4-5). Have we not heard the prophecy foretold: “Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree” (Zechariah 3:8-10). And let the people say, Amen. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine in the churches of Christ: We have heard the prophet Isaiah because our God has sealed his holy and true word, saying, “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD” (Isaiah 11:1-2). Let us know therefore then that we are fig trees with a father branch (St. Matthew 24:32) and a mother branch (St. Mark 13:28) to this purpose: “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth” (Jeremiah 23:5). For this is certain: “He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch” (Proverbs 11:28). And be it is so as it is written: “For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches” (Romans 11:16). But if the root is unholy, so are the branches, and the fruit thereof is none: what then shall become of that tree? Is it not written: “Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire” (St. Luke 3:8-9). Be therefore of the noble vine, whose seed is right and planted by the LORD: for our God has said: “Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?” (Jeremiah 2:21). But we are not that degenerate plant of a strange vine, which are the children of men: for we are the children of God planted in a good soil by great waters. For have we not heard: “It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine” (Ezekiel 17:8). And did He not say, who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit” (St. John 15:1-2), which we are. But we know that even the vineyard that was planted by the right hand of God is burned with fire and cut down for the transgression of his ways which cometh by his own free will as an existence of human flesh: But if the vineyard is planted with the right hand of God, then the fruits thereon are worthy of repentance. So be it then as it is written: “Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved” (Psalm 80:14-19). Praise God! Now beloved seed of the African, and European, and Indian, and Asian, and Latino, and Arab, and Jew: hear this: “Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured” (Proverbs 27:18). But many have fallen from patience and neglected the good care of their fig tree, that no fruit can grow thereon without baptism because the limbs are spoiled with the ways of the world: even in ignorance have these trees planted other trees, which are men. So as men go forth as trees, dividing themselves with righteousness and unrighteousness, the learned and the unlearned; Satan in her subtleness has planted trees and deceived many with tempting words the same as it is written in Judges 9:8-11, saying, “The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign over us. But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us. But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us. And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?” Even as we walk in the way of the Lord on this earth, in our path there are trees with beasts upon the branches, and vines of Sodom, and fig trees that can bear no fruit, which are planted by the Devil. These are set before us in our walk to seduce us, and mislead us, and kill us, that a precious soul might be taken away from the bosom of our LORD. But are we not wise in the knowledge of the Holy Ghost, which is the word of God? “Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Ba-laam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Co-re. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever” (Jude 11-13). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) CHILDREN OF BASE MEN MAY 7, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well despite the children of base (morally low, vile, coarse, corrupted) men, who are not from a bloodline, but a spirit that infuses the world with folly instruction. May the Lord God Almighty and His beloved Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may none of us be found among the children of base men, which are fools. For as it is written so is it so: “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed” (Proverbs 13:20). Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: the faithful and true seed of the African, and Indian, and Asian, and Latino, and European, and Arab, and Jew: I speak in the Spirit that is bestowed upon me, which is a spirit from the Ancient of Days, saying: “Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom: and ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge” (Proverbs 8:4-9). So who am I? Dear inhabitants of the earth: Though many of you are foolish in a righteous heart, being vile by reason of your ignorance from the instruction of a fool, to hear me not because the truth has offended you; the LORD God still loves you, to hear your cry of affliction and to deliver you from your troubles. For this we know: “Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!” (Psalm 107:17-21). So a fool can change and will change if he receives the wisdom and instruction of God: but to receive such, he must overcome his pride to accept correction and admit the error of his ways. But who is he that can break the chain of ignorance? Who is he that can overcome the customs of flesh? Is it not He that is Christ our Lord, the Spirit of Truth and will of God? Verily it is: for He maketh the righteous heart a righteous mind also. And by righteous lips are many fed with the Bread of Life, which is the Word of God. So is it that many who hear my testimony give honor to my name, yet when I speak against the traditions that are righteous in their eyes they are offended. But we know if the truth offends you, the truth is not in you! Am I not sent to educate many from the teachings of base men that their birth of children ceases from multiplying out of good hearts? For a good Christian rejoices on Christmas day out of the righteousness of his heart, which is given to the love for Jesus Christ; not knowing he celebrate the custom of a Heathen. And when the truth is revealed to him by way of the Scriptures he so claim to love, yet he listen not; because base men have given birth to his understanding that he become a child of them. And the folly he has accepted as the truth has now made him a teacher of deceit unknowingly; because “the way of a fool is right in his own eyes” (Proverbs 12:15). But if the Spirit of truth is in a man, though his ignorance is great because of indoctrinated folly, he will hear the counsel of the wise; which is not I, but the written word of God, which heals the foolish mind. So let us go into the house of the LORD: but when we go, we cannot enter with a Christmas tree: for is it not written: “Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not” (Jeremiah 10:2-4): for this is so, “The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands” (Psalm 135:15). Yet for many their learning has not increased from those words that come from righteous lips: Nevertheless many have indeed hearkened unto wise counsel because they do not despise wisdom and instruction as the fool that remains. For this we know: “The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom” (Proverbs 10:21): so, “The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools” (Proverbs 3:35). These fools are even those who have a righteous heart, but are unwilling to devote two hours out of a week to praise God, because out of the foolishness of their mind from their folly understanding they have taken the blessings of God for granted. Now beloved brothers and sisters of mine: I leave you this Sabbath with these words of wisdom from righteous lips: “Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly” (Proverbs 16:22). “The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness” (Proverbs 15:14). “The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit” (Proverbs 14:8). “They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth. And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face” (Job 30:8-10) . So be it that I am rejected by those who should receive me first.

Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) ALONE APRIL 23, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well even when I am alone, because I am not alone, because the Father is always with me though I see Him not with the eyes of flesh. May the Lord God Almighty, Our Heavenly Father, and His beloved Son Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all know that we are never alone, because the Lord our God is always with us. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Many remain among the wicked, even serving wicked things and traditions, because they fear being alone. So they follow the crowd and common things, or cling to any companionship, or try to endure an abusive relationship; because they fear being alone. Even by the fear of being alone do righteous men keep silence among the infidels and ignorant of truth: But we who love and trust in the LORD with all our heart do not fear being alone, neither are we alone for a moment, because the LORD is always with us: and we see Him in the things men call coincidences, and imagination, and dreams: and we see Him because Sound gives Sight, which Sound is, His written word. But many out of the fear of being alone have made their flesh stronger than their spirit because the flesh finds comfort in common things; which belonging to the world defiles a man. So let us pray this Sabbath day for all who feel alone, that they might know the LORD is with them though they see Him not. And let us pray for all who feel they carry a heavy burden alone, that they might know the LORD will send helpers, that they might not carry the burden alone. For this we know by reason of Numbers: “And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers? Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me” (Numbers 11:11-14). But did the LORD not hear Moses, to provide him with helpers, that he bear the burden not alone? Indeed it is written: “And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee. And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them: and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone” (Numbers 11:16-17): for this we know: “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-11). So remove yourselves from the fleshly state of mind that convinces many they are alone; or that it is good to be alone. For we know that we are not alone: and we know that two is better than one. For is it not written in the first book of the Holy Bible: “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). But how can two lie together unequally yoked, which is to say a believer with a non-believer? Will not the one that is warm (a believer) become cold because of the non-believer? This we know because it is written that we might have knowledge and wisdom: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (II Corinthians 6:14): so of them, the unbelievers, let them be alone; the same as I leave Ephraim (the Temple Beth El) alone as it is written: “Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone” (Hosea 4:17). Dear inhabitants of the earth: Never have I been alone since my Spiritual Awakening in the Gentile month of April in the Gentile time of 1979. But I was alone in the years prior (though I kept the company of many), because I knew not the LORD. In those days I believed that man lived by bread and water alone; not knowing the bread and water that gives Life is the body and blood of Jesus Christ, which is the Word of God. But now I can see clearly, that blindness no longer guides me; neither a blind leader. For the word of God is freely given that we all may read the Scriptures on our own to believe as it is written, and not as men interpret. So when a question of the Scriptures is asked of us, we answer not with our own understanding, but with the written word of God, which is the understanding of the LORD. And because we know the word of God by reason of the Holy Ghost, we know that men walk as plants that are trees; and that every plant is not planted by God; so beware of the tree planted by the Devil. For Jesus say, “Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch” (St. Matthew 15:13-14). And if one should ask, Why say ye that men walk as trees? We answer not from our own words, but as it is written in the Gospel of St. Mark: “And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking” (St. Mark 8:23-24). Is that sight not a thing the sons of men call imagination, but is spiritual insight, which is the sight of God’s work and presence that is hidden from the eyes of human flesh? Indeed we who discern with the third eye which is the spiritual mind that is the Holy Ghost, appear to be alone in the world, because we teach that which is known yet unknown; so many do fear to stand openly with us because they fear the unknown. But our teachings are not unknown, because our teachings are every word of the Holy Bible that has been common to the world since the Gentile time of 1611: so the fear that keeps many from standing with us is the fear of men; even the fear of being alone because of an uncommon practice; so they scorn us. But here is wisdom: “If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shall bear it” (Proverbs 9:12). For this we know because our Lord and Savior so said it: “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” (St. Matthew 12:32). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THIRD SABBATH OF NEW YEAR APRIL 16, 20011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this third Sabbath of a new year. May the Lord God of Israel, the Most High and Almighty God, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all rejoice on this third Sabbath of a new year, which is the first Sabbath of the LORD’s Passover. Dear brothers and sisters of mine from the faithful and true seed of the European, and Latino, and African, and Asian, and Indian, and Arab, and Jew: If I can have a day to preach little, let it be so today: for the Passover is my secret closet, that I may meditate and thank my God for His many blessings and abundance of mercy. This Sabbath is the third of seven days that is the LORD’s Passover: and for each day do I eat unleavened bread until the twenty and first day of this month, which in Hebrew is Abib the beginning of months, but in English is April the fourth month. But, behold, how many have left the tradition of Passover behind; believing the Last Supper of Jesus Christ was the rudiments of a new faith called Christianity. Even as men have abandoned the LORD’s Sabbath, a great many more have abandon the feast of unleavened bread, which is the LORD’s Passover. But herein is another reason why many are worshipping God without the fullness of the truth. Such is why He say, who is Christ our Lord, “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews” (St. John 4:22). Jesus did not say salvation “originated” with the Jews, as the book of Jehovah Witness so say to convince others that Jesus ordained Christianity: but He say, “salvation is of the Jews”. Are those words a matter of interpretation? If so, let these words be not so; for it is clearly written in the Gospel of St. Matthew: “Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand: I will keep the Passover at thy house with my disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them: and they made ready the passover” (St. Matthew 26:17-19). So who took away this tradition of Passover from the things of Christ? Even he who speaks these words of the apostle Paul: “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (I Corinthians 5:7-8); is guilty if he removes the feast of unleavened bread, which is the LORD’s Passover, which is the Last Supper of Jesus Christ. For how much should we keep the tradition of Passover, if our Lord and Savior saw fit to keep it as His last meal? Surely if a man trust in the apostle Paul, so let him trust in these words Paul so wrote by the inspiration of God: “But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle” (II Thessalonians 2:13-15). Have we not been taught by Jesus Christ to hold the tradition of Passover? Have we not been taught by Him who is Christ our Lord to wash one another’s feet? Is the washing of feet not a tradition taught from the Old Testament: for have we not heard, “For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat: When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD: So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations” (Exodus 30:19-21). Is it not written in the Gospel of St. John: “Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done unto you” (St. John 13:13-15). Beloved ears that are open: How clearer than those words be? Be not deceived by the feign: for we know that men have introduced their own traditions as traditions sanctified by the LORD, that they might persuade many into a false worship, even into believing an outright lie: these are the servants of the Wicked One, who has formed himself as the appearance of God to capture the hearts and souls of many that worship God without the knowledge of the truth that they might not receive the love of the truth when they hear it because of their comfort in the ways from the traditions given by the world, which is generations upon generations of indoctrinated falsehood, the same falsehood that replaced “forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors” with forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, in the Disciples prayer. That is the same comfort that keeps many honoring Easter as a holy day, when the day is pagan: and honoring Christmas as the birth of Christ, when the day is pagan: and honoring Sunday as the Sabbath, when Saturday is the Sabbath. But even so in whose words vile men do recite with a twist, which are the Holy Scriptures, we know there is no twist of the Scriptures from our mouth: so let us hear from the Epistle of Paul to the Colossians as it is written: “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ” (Colossians 2:8). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) FEIGN (PRETENDER) APRIL 9, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? And if one should ask the same to me, I say, It is well is well with thee? And I pray it is well. May the Lord God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all beware of the Feign, who are Pretenders the same as a spy, and a hypocrite, and a flimflam man, and a liar. Unto Mikkibin, and Pinder and Richard, and all my beloved brothers and sisters from the faithful and true seed of the African, and Latino, and European, and Indian, and Asian, and Arab, and Jew: It is by the grace of God that I come before you each Sabbath day to salute you with the kiss of the Holy Ghost, that the Fullness of the Truth be found in you. And though my sermons bring controversy, even dark sayings, fear not the unknown: for is it not written: “A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain un-to wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings” (Proverbs 1:5-6). So I speak in the Spirit that is given in these same words: “I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us” (Psalm 78:2-3). So we fear not the unknown; because when the known enter the unknown, knowledge is obtained and wisdom found. Moreover, our God who is known is greater than the unknown. So who can deceive us? Not even the spy can deceive us; because when the spy speaks the sound of his words gives us sight of his intentions by reason of the wisdom and intuition given unto us by the spirit of Jesus Christ. The same intuition do we use when the spy is silent before us. For this story we know from the Gospel of St. Luke: “And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly: Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Shew me a penny, Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar’s. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s. And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace” (St. Luke 20:19-26). That is an example of the Feign who pretended to be just men that they might trick the Righteous One to speak words they can use against Him. Even in their silence do they pretend to listen; hearing nothing but the wickedness of their own thoughts, because their mind is closed to the knowledge that is unknown to them, yet known, because the knowledge is written in the Holy Scriptures; which we have heard and do know, and our fathers have told us. Now here is the wisdom of another Feign: “The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity” (Psalm 10:4-7). This is an example of the Feign that is a flimflam man, whose mouth is full of fraud and deceit to rob the poor even of his soul. And here is the wisdom of another Feign: “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward” (St. Matthew 6:16); which reward is this: “Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?” (Job 20:4-5): for this we know: “For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?” (Job 27:8). And here is the wisdom of another Feign: “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you…” (II Peter 2:1-3). This is an example of the Feign who pretend to be a prophet and a teacher from God. And many do follow their wicked ways; being deceived by the sound of loving words and a mouth full of praise for a Lord they know not. But we, O faithful and true are made wise by the Holy Ghost, which is the Spirit of Truth, that no man neither any woman might deceive us: for we know that if one thing belonging to God is left out, then all things brought in are led by wickedness. Surely we have heard and do know because our fathers have told us: “The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts” (Psalm 10:4). So be it known then, that, God must be in ALL our thoughts: for without are we so wicked, because we have one thing of God not within us. We must therefore receive all things of God, which are all His commandments and traditions, which must be all our thoughts. For if a thought is not of God, the thought is of the Devil, because there is no middle ground: for we know all works cometh from the heart. Must we not then be pure in all things? For He say, who is Christ our Lord and Savior, “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (St. Matthew 5:8). And is it not written: “Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate” (Titus 1:15-16). Believe not then in a man because he say he know God, or the way of God, or the truth of God; though he hold the title of a Reverend, or a Bishop, or a Pope. For if any know God, or the way of God, or the truth of God, they know by reason of the written word of God, which is every word of the Holy Bible on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Jesus Christ Himself the chief cornerstone: so how can a man take some of Christ teachings and leave others and not be wicked? How can a man violate one commandment of God and not be guilty of all? Is it not written: “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10). Receive therefore the Knowledge of the Truth, which is every word of the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible. And if one should say, How can we know the Authorized Version of king James is the true word of God? I say to that man and all who agree: Open the other versions of the Holy Bible and behold the name of Jesus removed from Hebrews 4:8: Surely anything and everything that has removed the name of Jesus is guided by the hand of evil. And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) FIRST SABBATH OF A NEW YEAR APRIL 2, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this First Sabbath of a New Year. May the Most High God and His beloved Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may this First Sabbath of a New Year be a blessing unto you all. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the seed of the African, and Latino, and European, and Asian, and Indian, and Arab, and Jew: I salute you all on this First Sabbath of a New Year in the grace and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ with the added blessings of the Holy Ghost. May the love of our God and the tenderness of His mercy embrace you all in the comfort of His calling, which calling is to worship God in spirit and in truth. This day, I Cornelius, reminisce the days from which my revelation began in the Gentile time of 1979: the days when I took the journey not fearing the UNKNOWN that the Truth of God becomes KNOWN to me. For is His truth not trust in His Word; which are the things that was, is, and shall be? Surely one cannot enter into the UNKNOWN without faith: for if the KNOWN is guiding you there is no fear of the UNKNOWN. So is the Truth of God UNKNOWN? Many do worship to an UNKNOWN God because the Truth is not in them: but the Almighty God has made Himself KNOWN by the Holy Scriptures, that none might justly call Him UNKNOWN. And if God is KNOWN to you, why then should you fear the UNKNOWN? For is He not GREATER than the UNKNOWN? Such is why it is written, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7): so we who fear the LORD do not fear the UNKNOWN because the KNOWN is GREATER. Here is wisdom: When the known enter into the unknown, knowledge is obtained. And here is wisdom from the Lamb’s book of life written from the years beginning in the Gentile time of 1979, when, if it had not been for the comfort of music, my existence of flesh would not have endured the many years: A wise man will follow his intuition, because such is his guidance from the Lord; Reality is not the surface, but the substance; Let your mind define what your eyes see and ears hear, because there is a thought that exist in one’s face, and the sound of one’s voice is a vision of their attitude; Growth is not the number of experiences, but the learning from an experience; Listening is experiencing, because listening is the knowledge that provides a frame of reference for an experience or situation you may encounter; Even as there is a natural inclination to be wise, there is a natural inclination to be foolish; One cannot alter the world’s future, but one can alter their own; Knowledge of self is the realization of others, and the realization of others is that everyone has their own individuality; A man and a woman are of the same cognition; Confidence and Nerve is the art of manhood and womanhood; The little things are the key things; To believe is the seed of education, but to know is the growth of education; Education is wisdom, and wisdom comes from all places and everyone, from parents and peers to the youngest of children; Wisdom is knowing what to say, when and when not, because the strength of knowing must also have the wisdom of control; Everything is not for everybody, but everybody is for some thing; There is a thin line between sanity and insanity, a wise man and a fool; When you possess the knowledge of every question relevant to a situation, only then are you wise to choose; There are many truths in life, but only one reality to life, which is the testimony of Jesus; Reality is what was, is, and is to come, so reality surpasses actuality; Live for what will be, knowing what is, and remembering what has been; Anything without logic, is not a reality, but an existence; One cannot control the thoughts that surface in the mind, but one can control their actions; Psychiatry is the understanding of thoughts, the thought that create the feeling and the feeling that create the thought, as well as the many personalities within one’s self; Growth is not ridding childhood desires, but the realization of adulthood; Truth is found in the intention of things; There is no opinion to the truth; There is no correct way to do the right thing; A man should not be paranoid of things, he should observe all things and be aware of all possibilities, but in no wise should he be paranoid because such is a weakness to the art of manhood, and a man’s weakness is the devil’s strength; Where there is strength and greatness in one there is also weakness and faults, and where there is weakness and faults in one there is also strength and greatness, therefore no man is greater than the next in the land of the Lord; It is not what you say, but how you say it; Without wisdom there is no love, and where there is no love there is no presence of God; There is a limit to reasoning, let a man have the wisdom to know where the limit apply; He who do not learn from his mistakes is condemned to repeat them; A wise man will not allow bad experiences to dictate his life; A wise man is objective with self and self-opinions; A wise man is guided by what he feel and not by what he see; A wise man is prepared for the possibility; A man blind of his external eyes is not without sight, but a man blind in his mind is without sight; Let a man obtain his knowledge from the Scriptures, because there is no teacher greater than God; If a man pray for wisdom with the love of God in his heart, he will surely receive the wisdom of life. Amen. I thank my God for giving me the wisdom and strength to write again another year of Sermons for those who seek the knowledge of the truth. Amen and Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) BENEFITS MARCH 26, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because of the benefits given from serving the LORD, which benefits are uncountable. May the LORD God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all bless the LORD for His benefits towards us, which benefits is found in the cup of salvation that makes us joint-heirs with Christ. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the faithful and true: I say as it is written, BLESS the LORD. But how can we, being men, bless the LORD? We bless the LORD from our soul, which is the Holy Ghost, which has the power to bless God because the Holy Ghost is One with God, as is Christ our Lord, which form the Holy Trinity. Do any think I speak with my own understanding? God forbid: for is it not written: “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” (I John 5:7). So in our soul, which is the Holy Ghost, do we bless the Father by the power of the Word, which is Christ in us. Behold then our benefits from the LORD, which benefits even make us gods: for is it not written, “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High” (Psalm 82:6). And is it not written for those who doubt the Old Testament: “Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?” (St. John 10:34-36). Behold the benefits in serving our God, which benefits are greater than the words we speak. For is it not written: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (I Corinthians 2:9). How great then are the benefits of serving God and keeping His commandments? Dear inhabitants of the earth: It is written, even sung in the tabernacles built by prophet William Saunders Crowdy , “What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?” (Psalm 116:12). Shall I not render all that I have, even my life? For this we know: “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints” (Psalm 116:15). So we speak as it is written that you all might hear and believe us: “BLESS the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (Psalm 103:1-5). Bless the LORD all ye people who seek to know Truth, because He is Truth, and the reason for your Being. Bless the LORD in your soul, which is the gift of the Holy Ghost, and your worship of God in spirit and in truth. Bless the LORD for all His benefits towards you, which benefits are without end, even greater than the next. Now in closing my Sermon this Sabbath I say this as it is written: “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah” (Psalm 68:19). POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE SON OF DAVID MARCH 19, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: It is well with thee? I am well in the spirit that is the son of David. May the Lord God Almighty and His only begotten Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be counted as sons of men made into sons of God, whose Spirit is even the Son of David. To Nicholas and my beloved brothers and sisters from the Faithful and True: I salute you this Sabbath as I do each Sabbath in the grace and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the face of the Lord continue to shine upon you and guide you in the wisdom of His understanding, which is as simple as it is written: “Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding” (Job 28:28). So let us delight O sons of men as our Christ delight in us, that we may rejoice with Him as He rejoice in the habitable part of God’s earth: for out of His love for us has He shed His blood to redeem us from the estate of the sons of men, which is the manifestation of beasts (Ecclesiastes 3:18), whose heart is full of evil and madness (Ecclesiastes 9:3); that we no longer are called sons of men, but a son of David, even sons of God. But is the price of His blood not our baptism? For we know that only by the baptism of flesh and spirit, which is the cleansing of the body and mind to inherit the substance and treasures of Christ can we be free from the corruptible spirit found in the sons of men to put on the incorruptible spirit that is the son of David, and a Son of man, even our Lord Jesus Christ. For if we love Christ, then we inherit substance, which is the knowledge and wisdom that come from the understanding of the LORD: because we hear instruction, to receive the knowledge and wisdom of the Scriptures, which is guidance for the human vessel. Dear inhabitants of the earth; both sons and daughters of men; both Jew and Gentiles: This day shall I set before you another mystery that is hid in God, which wisdom cry and understanding speak: so give an hear and hear as it is written in the gospel of St. Matthew: “While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord; how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions” (St. Matthew 22:41-46). So is that to say, Christ cannot be the son of David? And if I say He can, do I contradict the Scriptures, even the word of Christ Himself? Nay: God forbid: for is it not written in the beginning of the New Testament, “THE book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham” (St. Matthew 1:1). And if any say the verse of St. Matthew 1:1 contradicts St. Matthew 22:42-46, hear the voice of one without substance, therefore void of understanding. For though the Scriptures are often spoken in a mystery, the words are plain to them that have understanding, which is the knowledge that man must live by every word of the Holy Bible; therefore we must know every word of the Holy Bible. Now here is the secret of the mystery as to why it is written, “THE book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham”: When Jesus asked, “If David then call him Lord; how is he his son?”: the answer the Pharisees knew not is found in Romans 1:3, “Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh”: So by flesh is Christ made the son of David, that we who are the sons of David and the sons of Abraham are made into the sons of God by the blood of Christ. Now if one should say, How could the Pharisees know the answer to Jesus question if the knowledge had not been revealed prior to the apostles? I say unto that man and all who agree, let us open the Scriptures of the Old Testament to the book of Proverbs, and let us Read and Hear: “THE Proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain un-to wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:1-7). So I pray you attain to the wise counsel that is before you, which is not my word, but the word of God: even to understand in your heart the dark sayings that is the mystery of Christ. So hear this: for I speak as it is written in Proverbs Chapter 8, even in the Spirit that spoke the words, saying, “Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures” (Proverbs 8:4-21). Now are those words from the mouth of God, or the mouth of Solomon, or the mouth of Christ? Most will say the mouth of God; but what say the Scriptures when we continue with the next verse: “The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death” (Proverbs 8:22-36). So are those words not from the mouth of Christ Himself, and found in the Scriptures of the Old Testament? Let us therefore receive the knowledge of the mystery that was hid in God, which is the mystery of our Lord Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. For how can Solomon the son of David be the wisest man in the Holy Bible unless Christ our Lord and Savior is made the son of David? Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) UNSEARCHABLE MARCH 12, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? And if one should say the same to me, I say, It is well. May the LORD God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all receive the riches of our Christ, which are unsearchable: therefore no man can receive the riches of Christ save he that is bestowed. To Paul and Frangel; and all the saints in Mexico, and Argentina, and South America, and North America, and Europe, and Australia, and Africa, and Asia, and Antarctica, and the isles: I salute you all as I do each Sabbath in the grace and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood has delivered us from the gates of hell and from the clutches of iniquity, that we be found in the pureness of His saints. May the Great God and His unsearchable greatness be praised forever and ever; for by His greatness are we made kings on the earth though we appear not to the eye of flesh. And this we know: “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness” (Proverbs 25:2-5). Let us learn the mystery of the proverbs: for it is written, “the glory of God is to conceal a thing”; that is to be hidden, a secret, even a mystery: know therefore why the word of God is such; even why Jesus spoke in parables. But the honor of kings, which we are by the grace of Jesus Christ, is to search out a matter; that is to think, and study, and read, that we become educated in both worlds, which are heavenly and earthly. For how can a man defend himself against his sinful flesh if he know not the ways of flesh? And how can a man receive the heavenly kingdom if he know not the ways of God? Know therefore then that all things are not unsearchable: for are we not also called to search? So we must know what to seek and what not to seek upon this earth, the same as we must know righteousness from unrighteousness, which wisdom we receive from searching the Holy Scriptures. For the glory of God is to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter because there is honor in finding knowledge and understanding, which is the wisdom to instruct and invent the things that are not corruptible: for the proverb say, “Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness”. But the proverb also say, “the heart of kings is unsearchable”: so how can the heart of kings be unsearchable when the LORD our God search the hearts? Can a man’s heart be unknown to God? Surely not; so why say the proverb, “the heart of kings is unsearchable”? Surely one shall receive that answer before this sermon concludes. But first we must know that we are kings according to the word of God: for I have said we are kings because it is written in the word of God: and so one might know I speak not with my own understanding but the Lord’s, which is the written word of God, let him Read and Hear as our Christ so said Search the Scriptures: “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (Revelation 1:5-6). So if we are kings, which we are, and priests unto God, then our heart is unsearchable, because the riches of Christ are unsearchable (Ephesians 3:8). For this we know because our Lord and Savior so said it, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (St. Matthew 6:19-21). This we know: the riches of our Christ are in the kingdom of heaven; so our hearts are in the kingdom of heaven. And if our hearts are in the kingdom of heaven, then we are kings with unsearchable hearts, because the riches of Christ are unsearchable. For who can be a priest of God without the heart of God? And if we have the heart of God, is God’s greatness not unsearchable? For have we not searched the Scriptures and found written: “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable” (Psalm 145:3). Understand therefore the mystery of the proverb; even the mystery of the Old Testament and our Lord Jesus Christ, which from the beginning of the world was concealed, being hidden in God. But as kings who search out a matter, we searched the New Testament to learn: “For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him” (Ephesians 3:1-12): so by Reading and hearing the word of God are we made wise. Beloved priests of God: the Unsearchable is He who we search not to prove His existence, because His existence is our heart, which is the heart of a king, and unsearchable, because there is no beginning or end of Him. So who are those that search the earth to find if God exist, or the number of His years? Are they not fools because they search for the unsearchable? Can we know the number of God’s years? Are His years not unsearchable; even His judgments? Surely I speak not with delusion, neither with the tongue of the unlearned: for is it not written in the Holy Scriptures: “Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out” (Job 36:26). And is it not written: “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!” (Romans 11:33). But we know by His word that is word our God is the King of righteousness which is the King of peace; and is without father, or mother, or descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God, to abide in human flesh as a priest continually (Hebrews 7:2-3). Surely this is not my own understanding, but the written word of God, of which I am a slave even in the hidden man of the heart. So as the glory of God is to conceal a thing and the honor of kings to search out a matter: here is wisdom in a mystery: “Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (I Peter 3:3-4). Now let us hear the conclusion of the matter: The greatness of God is UNSEARCHABLE: for have we not read concerning His Dear Son Jesus Christ: “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written” (St. John 21:25). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) MESSENGER MARCH 5, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well as a Messenger, whose message is from the Almighty God, who has sent me to speak in human voice that men might understand His Word which is already written in the Holy Bible, but understood by few. And if I speak anything new, it is new because it comes from the Lamb’s book of life, which is the fulfilling of His Word. May the LORD God Almighty and His Dear Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the Messenger be heard and believed by all because the message is on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Jesus Christ Himself the chief cornerstone, which is the Stone of Truth. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the seed of the African, and Latino, and Indian, and Asian, and European, and Arab, and Jew: The Messenger from God can appear as anyone: as a parent, or son, or daughter, or brother, or sister, or uncle, or aunt, or cousin, or child, or friend, or neighbor, even a stranger on the street in the form of a bum (beggar). Surely we know the angels of God appear in many forms; so judge not form but content. For our God makes His angels into spirits to walk in human flesh that man might be judged by the human voice of truth: for even before I had received the vision of my calling, I received a message of God’s truth on the Sabbath day from a stranger on the street who walked in the appearance of a bum. That day and that moment I have not forgotten, because my heart was touched and my life inspired by that stranger: for even though I was ignorant of God’s truth at that time, being shy and naïve in my teen hood, the sound of that man’s word gave me sight of his spirit and I knew in my heart that an angel of God had passed by. So here I am, a Messenger the same as him, whose name I do not know, and whose face I cannot remember, but whose wisdom I preach daily. For it was by the words that came from the mouth of a man in the form of a bum that opened my mind to receive the vision that came in due time, which is the knowledge and wisdom that is the Lamb’s book of life. Surely my life was touched and inspired by one that when I first laid eyes upon, I ridiculed in my heart; believing he was nothing more than a waste. For during those days I was dumb to the story of Lazarus; and without the words of I Samuel, “The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them” (I Samuel 2:7-8): so ignorant was I even though I believed I had knowledge: and how many be there among the inhabitants of the earth that are likewise? But if the truth is in your spirit, when you hear the unknown truth, it will become known to you and believed. But if the truth offends you, the truth is not in you. Now beloved churches of God and our Christ: I Cornelius, a lamb raised from the tribe of Judah, am sent as a Messenger of the LORD to touch the hearts of many and inspire the lives of many, which I do daily on this website that God’s love for Makyla, and Luciano, and Amanda, and Loisa, and Landon, and Glen, and Daryl, and Megan, and Amy, and Norie, and Melissa, and Austin, and Miguel, and Jake, and Margaret Peterson from Buffalo, and Haley, and heavy heart club, and my fan club in Brazil, and Gina L, and one from Sydney (Australia), and Mary Evans of New York, and Paula of Melbourne (Australia), and Mykaila, and Jessic Preston of Cambridge (Canada), and Eloisa, and T.R., and CB, and young minister, and one from Eastern Europe, and one from Lithuania, and one from Africa, and one from Egypt, and one from Kuwait, and one from United Arab Emirates, and one from Stuggart (Germany), and the isles, and all the names I have not written in this sermon but names are written in the Lamb’s book of life be made known to the world. And if any seek to read the testimonies from the names mentioned, let them begin on page 21 of the message board. But in all the glory and praise of God, let us forget not there is a wicked messenger (Proverbs 13:17); and a cruel messenger is sent (Proverbs 17:11): for we know if one be true in his priesthood, which is the anointing of every faithful man by the Spirit of truth, he shall be as it is written: “The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity. For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law of his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts” (Malachi 2:6-7). But even as we, O sons of God, the Faithful and True, in the priesthood of Jesus Christ, which is unchangeable, are steadfast and unmovable in the profession of our calling; we carry a thorn in our flesh, which is the messenger of Satan to buffet (strike) us, lest (for fear) we exalt ourselves above our Lord Jesus Christ, which is above our measure. Know therefore then how a good priest can become wicked; even how a good man deceives himself. But this we know as apostles of Jesus Christ: “For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure” (II Corinthians 12:6-7). Amen. This sermon is dedicated to my Beloved brother and Dear friend Ysmael, whose face I have not seen in the flesh, but have in the spirit; and the face is an angel of God. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) VISION FEBRUARY 26, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? And if one should ask the same to me, I say, It is well. May the Lord God Almighty and His Dear Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may our Vision be not false, but as it is written, “After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward” (Genesis 15:1). For we know we are the seed of Abram, who is Abraham, and that we are apostles of Christ even as Paul, saying, “It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord” (II Corinthians 12:1). Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the churches of God on the seven continents: In my own troubles, and struggles in the world, the Vision I received in the Gentile time of 1979 has not departed, but flourished into my writings at hand, which writings are a Vision, because Sound gives Sight. For this we know: “And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed” (Isaiah 29:11). But he that is seen in a vision that is found in the Book of Revelation has opened the book of life for the learned and unlearned, because his Spirit is worthy, being the Spirit that is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David. And by him are these Scriptures fulfilled: “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon the tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Habakkuk 2:2-3); even the Book of Revelation. So let us be patient: for the vision is yet for an appointed time: so wait for it; because it will surely come. And though it tarry, it will not tarry; because a day in the sight of the LORD is a thousand years in our sight: so in the sight of the LORD has two days past since the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Nay; two days has not passed. So how strong must we be in our endurance if we seek to be with the LORD; knowing a thousand years in our sight is only one day in His sight? Surely our patience must be as He our Lord and Savior so said: “In your patience possess ye your souls” (St. Luke 21:19): for is our God not the God of patience (Romans 15:5). So of all my years of writing the sermons even since the birth of this vessel, has one minute passed in the sight of the LORD? Beloved children of the Faithful and True: There are many words I can preach this Sabbath day of which most will offend many; but I say not; because I have forewarned many times. So be it then if men believe not or hear not: for the kingdom of God is esoteric. Therefore let the false visions of many continue; even the wayward pastors: for what Vision is Holy and True save the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible? What then are other visions but the same as that which is written by the prophet Jeremiah: “Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart” (Jeremiah 14:14). So I say unto you as it is written in the Holy and True Scriptures as the Spirit of one that is Holy and True: “Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD” (Jeremiah 23:16). Thus, we must have the vision to see through the clouds that eclipse the truth, which clouds are set by pretenders of the faith to deceive the unlearned and even learned. But no man can be deceived unless he deceives himself by believing his knowledge and understanding is greater than the knowledge and understanding of the LORD, which is the written word of the Holy Bible. And no man can have a vision of the LORD that is false if he is standing on the foundation of the apostles (New Testament) and prophets ( Old Testament) with every word of Jesus Christ (the red letters) the chief cornerstone, which is the Stone of Truth: for such is the true and only vision: because if a Vision cannot be obtained and sustained, then it is a false vision. For what is gain if the end is death and hell? Is that not the vision of a Waster? For success in life cannot be without the vision of serving God: work therefore in a Vision that is holy and true (the law of God), which is the only vision that is not an illusion. For this we know: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he” (Proverbs 29:18). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE WASTER FEBRUARY 19, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? And if one should say unto me the same, I say, It is well. May the Lord God Almighty and His Dear Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may none of us be found among the Waster, who waste his days justifying a sin that cannot be justified; and making excuses for his unrighteousness; and believing he is saved by the water of baptism alone. This is the Waster: and all who are slothful in their work is a brother to him that is a great waster (Proverbs 18:9). Dear inhabitants of the earth: What is the expectancy of our days? So do we have time to waste? Yet the Waster, who is even wasteful in his wealth, do waste away his days habitually; for even his gain is in vain. The Waster is also he that has knowledge of the truth, yet shares it not: will he not be counted among the dead because he is guilty for not warning the wicked? I pray you not only Read the sermons, but retain the knowledge and wisdom therein to have the understanding I bring this day, the next day, and the day before: for the hard sayings in every Sermon is lessen by the words of the previous Sermon. Now beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the Faithful and True seed of the African, and Indian, and Latino, and Asian, and European, and Arab, and Jew: we who are saints of Christ salute each other in the knowledge of our God to the praise of His Name forever. For not husband, nor wife, nor child, neither any one or thing is before our service to God: for if we put our service to God first, then our husband is loved, and our wife is loved, and our children are loved, and our neighbor is loved, and our ways is goodness and truth; because the service to God is love, and goodness, and truth. But the Waster even waste his breath of life, to walk as the living dead; seeking to blame others for his plight; and wasting away his days with excuses. But what are the days of our years on earth? Do we not know the number? Surely it is written: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away” (Psalm 90:10). Threescore is sixty and ten makes seventy years; and fourscore is eighty years: so these are the expectancy of our days in human flesh, then we fly away into the kingdom of heaven. So do we have time to waste? Nay: for we know because it is written in the same Psalm, “For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night” (Psalm 90:4). So we are patient when we hear our Christ say, “Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book” (Revelation 22:7): because we know a thousand years in our sight is a day in the sight of the LORD: so has two days past since the resurrection of our Christ? Why say men then, Where is the promise of Christ coming? Only the Waster, who is a son of the wicked, speaks those words: for because of his unbelief he is wicked and a Waster of the breath of life that was given unto him that he might have a brain. So be it that many waste their days seeking wealth and fortune for themselves and not for the sake of others, which others are the poor and needy. So be it that many waste their days worshipping God because they worship Him in vain; whose end is as it is spoken by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Himself: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (St. Matthew 7:21-23). Surely it is a waste to have spirit and not truth; faith without works; love without wisdom. Surely it is a waste to praise the name of God and not know the way of God: So repent therefore, all who walk in error and without the Seven Keys, that your days become not waste. But how can one repent without first realizing the error; even accepting correction? For pride destroys many; to close their eyes and ears to the Truth: thus, are they not as the Waster, who is created to be destroyed even by the evil he serves? So of the words I have spoken this Sabbath day, this is the sum: “Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy” (Isaiah 54:16). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE WICKED MAN FEBRUARY 12, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well though the wicked man surrounds me in his wickedness, which is hate without cause. May the LORD God Almighty and His Dear Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the judgment of the wicked that remain be as it is so written: “This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep. Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver” (Job 27:13-17). Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: I heard many say of the Sermon last week that it was hard to digest: yet it must be so for the sake of knowledge and wisdom; because the secrets of God are not easily revealed. So the word of God is not always easily understood: but let no hard sayings of the Truth offend you. For is it not written in the Gospel of St. John: “Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?” (St. John 6:60-61). And this we know also because it is written: “And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness” (II Peter 3:15-17). So this I say in the same spirit and truth as first written: “As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God? I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal” (Job 27:2-11). He that has understanding let him understand: and he that seeks understanding let him ask. Now let us learn of the wicked man from whence his wickedness comes: for if evil shall slay the wicked (Psalm 34:21), then the wicked are not born of the Devil as the evil ones are: therefore the wicked are victims, deceived from righteousness by the weakness of their human flesh, which weakness is the things that come naturally like laziness and loneliness and ignorance. For our thoughts are natural and our feelings are natural: loneliness is natural and laziness is natural and ignorance is natural: when the thoughts and feelings of loneliness turn to misery, a wicked mind is born: and when the thoughts and feelings of laziness turn to slothfulness, one destroys their own hope: and when the thoughts and feelings of ignorance turn to foolishness because of falsehood, the blindness of confusion become the eyes. Therefore it is our wayward thoughts and feelings that conjure wickedness, which thoughts and feelings come natural in the mind of our human flesh, because we inherited the knowledge of good and evil from the sin of Adam and Eve. But what kept Abel respected in the eyes of the LORD and Cain not respected? Was it not decisions they made on their own, of their own free will? Abel choosing righteousness because in his heart he was not selfish, neither lazy in mind: but Cain choosing wickedness because selfishness was in his heart, and laziness controlled his mind. So the LORD had no respect of Cain and his offering because Cain made his offering with laziness and selfishness, which are unrighteous things. And because the LORD had no respect, Cain became miserable in his laziness and selfishness; but ignorance kept him from changing his ways. So Cain in his misery (Genesis 4:5) was moved by the thoughts that came naturally, which are the thoughts of envy and jealousy, to slay his brother Abel and become the first Wicked Man. All this wickedness in the mind of Cain began with a small thought and feeling of laziness and selfishness: So how do we overcome the wicked thought that bring a wicked feeling to convince us that a little sin is no big deal so we sin believing it is a small thing; even not to realize we sin? We overcome by our reverent fear of the LORD; knowing that He is watching every moment; and with the knowledge that there is a consequence for every decision we make: to the good a reward of life; and to the bad the reward of death. For all unrighteousness is sin; so what is righteousness? This we know from the book of wisdom: “In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death” (Proverbs 12:28). So let us not commit even the littlest of sin: But let us be wise to the wicked mind, which wisdom we have received from the word of God: for is it not written, “Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin” (St. John 8:34). So beware of the sinful thought and feeling that come natural to us all, that we do not manifest that feeling or thought: for He say, who is Christ our Lord and Savior, Whosoever commit sin is the servant of sin. And when you become a servant of sin, beginning with the smallest matters, you manifest laziness, and selfishness, and gossip, and backbiting, and a talebearer, and a liar, and a thief, and a froward mouth, and a vagabond, and loathsome. And though you might gain wealth and prosperity in your wickedness, that your days are prolonged; we who are among the stable righteous envy not, but fear the LORD all day long: for we know, “A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn” (Proverbs 12:2). But many of the unstable righteous men and women do falter to bow down to the Wicked Man because he appears even as the imitation of Christ: so by their ignorance are they made wicked; because in their ignorance turned foolishness they rejected the Knowledge of the Truth and received a strong delusion to believe a Lie. These are the many righteous hearts with foolish minds; so what shall become of them? Is it not written: “A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring” (Proverbs 25:26). So can a troubled fountain and a corrupt spring bear good fruit? Let none therefore think that the righteous cannot turn wicked to die in wickedness: nor let any believe that God do not seek to save the wicked from his death. For this we know because it is written: “Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die” (Ezekiel 18:23-24). Surely it is not how you begin, but how you end: so repentance and endurance saves. It is written: “All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness” (Ecclesiastes 7:15). So in a life of vanity many do go about saying, Life is not fair, which is the same as saying the way of the LORD is not equal. That saying is taught from the ancient of days that wicked men might justify their wickedness, beginning with the house of Israel. But this we know because it is written: “When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? Therefore will I judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye” (Ezekiel 18:26-32). For many, beginning with the house of Israel, are indeed unstable in their righteous heart, because they are baptized by water and not by the spirit also: thus they are as it is written: “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation” (St. Matthew 12:43-45). Be not found as one of them, which in their search for righteousness they found a greater wickedness, because their baptism was without the spirit of Truth: so though the water of baptism did cleanse their body from sin that the unclean spirit was removed and a new heart received, they remained in ignorance because they did not receive a new spirit, which is the Knowledge of the Truth, because they believed the water of baptism alone had saved them. But what say our Lord and Savior: “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (St. John 3:5). The same is written: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (St. John 4:24). Know therefore then that we cannot be free from the spirit of wickedness without the spirit of Truth digested in us, which is the Knowledge of the Truth, which offends many to hate without cause. So those that love not the Truth, because they receive it not as it is written in Holy Scriptures; are they not ignorant, even foolish? The wicked, being all unrighteous things, lay nets for us when we leave our homes that we might be captured by the weakness of our flesh: even in our homes has the wicked invaded by capturing the mind of our children: so let wisdom overshadow love after the warning is given even to them: for if we warn not the wicked of his wickedness then we are guilty of his death, which is death for us also. But we who are called to be saints of Christ are called to warn the wicked man, saying as it is written: “When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul” (Ezekiel 33:8-9). May the LORD add a blessing to the Hearer of His word this Sabbath day, which is a warning for the wicked man to turn from his wicked ways; even from the ways of laziness, and gossip, and ignorance, which are unstable souls. Remove yourselves therefore from among the unstable souls, which loiter in the congregation of the dead: for many are wicked and know it not. I pray you be not like them that are written in St. Matthew 7: 22-23: for these believe they are righteous, but they are unrighteous: being deceived by the wicked mind to believe it is a small thing to recite scriptures from other versions of the Holy Bible (not knowing this leads to misunderstanding); and a small thing to drink wine (not knowing water is the sacrament drink of communion; thus wine is in vain); and a small thing to honor Sunday as the Sabbath (not knowing this also is in vain). But this we know O Faithful and True: my way is not the way of the wicked man. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE SCARLET THREAD FEBRUARY 5, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? And if one should ask the same unto me, I say, It is well; is well with thee? May the LORD God of Israel and our Lord Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the mystery of the scarlet thread be revealed unto you this day; even the scarlet thread that was given to the harlot Ra-hab (Joshua 2:18) that she and all her household be saved(Joshua 6:25). Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the faithful and true seed of the African, and Latino, and Indian, and Asian, and European, and Arab, and Jew: The sermon this Sabbath is a story from the Scriptures without explanation of mine. And some shall wonder, and some shall think; not knowing the mystery behind the words, even the mystery of sin, which must be discerned. For the Scriptures reveal all things, though some things are hidden in a mystery and a wise, yet the truth is not untold. But, because, the Scriptures of mystery and wise are hard to understand, clergy ignore those Scriptures and comment not in the churches. But am I not sent to reveal all things: even the Scriptures of controversy? Surely I recite nothing new, neither add anything, nor diminish from: so let us Read and Hear the mystery of the Scarlet Thread: “And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain A-dul-lam-ite, whose name was Hi-rah. And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Ca-naan-ite, whose name was Shu-ah; and he took her, and went in unto her. And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er. And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name O-nan. And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name She-lah: and he was at Che-zib, when she bare him. And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Ta-mar. And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. And Judah said unto O-nan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. And O-nan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went it unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. Then said Judah to Ta-mar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till She-lah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Ta-mar went and dwelt in her father’s house. And in process of time the daughter of Shu-ah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Tim-nath, he and his friend Hi-rah the A-dul-lam-ite. And it was told Ta-mar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Tim-nath to shear his sheep. And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrappred herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Tim-nath; for she saw that She-lah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife. When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face. And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it? And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him. And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the A-dul-lam-ite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand; but he found her not. Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place. And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Ta-mar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff. And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to She-lah my son. And he knew her again no more. And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pha-rez. And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zar-ah” (Genesis 38:1-30). So did Judah commit a sin in the eyes of God when he went in unto the woman he thought to be a harlot; even the sin of taking a Canaanite to be his wife? Did Judah become a hypocrite when he heard Ta-mar was pregnant by whoredom and commanded for her to be burnt; knowing that he himself had coition with a harlot? And as the scarlet thread was bound upon the hand that was ready to be the firstborn (Zar-ah), how did it come to be that Pha-rez was the firstborn? And can anything good become of Pha-rez, a man conceived by sin and deceit? Surely the Scriptures reveal all things that the fullness of the truth is made known: but who can understand? For He say who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side” (St. Matthew 13:19). So let us pray for understanding of the things that are spiritually discerned, which is the word of the kingdom, which is the word of God. Now here is the conclusion of the matter and the reason the Book of Ruth is among the Holy Scriptures: “Now these are the generations of Pha-rez: Pha-rez begat Hez-ron, and Hez-ron begat Ram, and Ram begat Am-min-a-dab, and Am-min-a-dab begat Sal-mon, And Sal-mon begat Bo-az, and Bo-az begat O-bed, and O-bed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David” (Ruth 4:18-22). Amen. He who has understanding let him understand: and he who seeks understanding let him ask the LORD. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) CHANGE II JANUARY 29, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because of the Change that has made this vile body of human flesh into the glorious body of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the Almighty God and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all make the change that is Holy and True. Dear inhabitants of human flesh: Let us seek to change from the nature of human flesh, which nature guides men to the way side, and to thorns, and upon stony places. And if we seek the change in all our heart, shall we not find it? For the prophets say with the mouth of God: “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). And our Christ say: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (St. Matthew 7:7). For this we know that if you ask, then you pray; and if you seek, then you search; and if you knock, then you have arrived at the door of the LORD. But who can ask without truth? And who can seek without the Scriptures as the guide? And who can arrive at the door to knock without faith and works? Surely Change is sacrifice: and sacrifice is the things pleasing to flesh; even overcoming the fear of death. For when one is obese, do he not make the sacrifice to reduce the calories and carbohydrates the flesh love, that he might lose weight? And when one seeks a degree or skill, do he not make a sacrifice to study and focus on the priority, neglecting the social life for a time? The same volition even more must we apply when seeking to change from the nature of our sinful flesh, which is the fear of death also. So let us change from this sinful flesh that we might work our way daily into the glorious body of our LORD by confessing our sins with a sincere heart, that we be forgiven and our sins cleansed by our sincere repentance. For He know the flesh is weak: but He also know the spirit is willing. So be it then that we follow the spirit into truth, which truth begins within ourselves, which is the truth to confess our own faults and shortcomings; even our own wayward thoughts. For your change cannot begin with another: for another can inspire you to change (as did our Lord Jesus Christ); but change begins with you. You must believe in your heart to search for God with all your heart: and you must use your volition as an existence of human flesh to receive the volition of the spirit. Surely the LORD will guide you, but you must take the steps. For the steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD (Psalm 37:23): but following the order is what makes a good man. Now let us hear the conclusion of the matter though those last words spoken were so: You who are inspired to change from the carnal mind to the spiritual mind; yet not spiritual only, but spirit and truth; because He said who is Christ our Lord and Savior, God is a Spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. So if your mind is not the understanding that the God of Israel is the Almighty God, then you are not in the Spirit: and if your wisdom is not the understanding that the only Holy Bible before the eyes of the world is the Authorized king James Version and that every word that came directly from out of the mouth of Jesus Christ Himself is greater than all that is written, then you do not have the knowledge of the Truth: so you must change; not for another sake, but for your own sake, that you be not counted among the congregation of the dead; which are those that refuse to change from the way side, and from among thorns, and from stony places; but shall see their end as it is written in St. Matthew 7:22-23 and in Revelation 21:8. And I say those words not to scare anyone, but to bring Light to Darkness, that no one might have an excuse in the hour of Judgment. So make the Change if you are not on the good ground: for the Sermons I give freely are not my own, but every word of the Holy Ghost in Spirit and in Truth. For if it were not so, then men could prove my testimony in error according to the written word of God: but they cannot, so they remain silent, in hope their silence might convince others not to listen. So has anything changed from the days when Jesus walked among us in flesh? Nay: for there is a continuance in modern times: so the change is the years, but not the days; so the days are at hand. The same as it is written, “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (St. Matthew 4:17): even as it is written, “These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (St. Matthew 10:5-7). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) MANY LIVES JANUARY 22, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well among many lives which are sowed of a good seed in the field of the world known as earth. May the Lord God Almighty and His Dear Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the LORD continue to bless the many lives that are sowed in the good ground, which is the faith and works of Spirit and Truth. Dear brothers and sisters of mine: you who have heard my testimony and you who have not: There are many lives upon this earth; each with their own mind, and heart, and understanding: some are sowed with a good seed and others are tares; and some are sowed by the way side, and some upon stony places, and some among thorns; but blessed are those who are sowed into good ground because they hear the word of God and understand with the understanding of the LORD, which is every word of God in His Holy Bible (Authorized king James Version). These are the many lives that have eyes and see and ears and hear: But many lives fulfill the prophecy of E-sa-ias, which saith, “By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them” (St. Matthew 13:14-15). How then can they be saved? For this we know because He who is Christ our Lord and Savior so told us: “When one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty” (St. Matthew 13:19-23). So the good seed, which is the word of God, is sowed in the field, which is the world; but in what place are you standing when the seed is sowed? Are you by the way side, which are those when they have heard the Truth, Satan come immediately to take away the word that was sown in their hearts, that they remain ignorant and foolish? Are you on stony ground, which are those that gladly receive the Knowledge of the Truth when they hear it and endure for a time, but, because, they have root they wither away in time of affliction or persecution, because of the doubtful mind? Are you among thorns, which thorns are the cares of the world, the riches of earth, and pleasures of flesh, which choke the word that the word becomes unfruitful in you because of hypocrisy? Or are you on the good ground, which are they that hear and receive the word on a strong foundation, to become fruitful by practicing what you preach and teaching others the Knowledge of the Truth? Many lives are in all those places: but only the saved lives are on the good ground. Make your way to the good ground if you are not: and if one should say, I am on the good ground, but why are tares around me, even next to me? I say unto that one and all who agree: Let us give an ear to Him that say it best: “The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn” (St. Matthew 13:24-30). And if any seek additional understanding to the meaning of that parable, he that have an ear let him hear: “He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world” (St. Matthew 13:37-40). Know therefore then why the LORD allows wicked ones to grow on this earth with the children of the kingdom: but the Sower of the Word, which is the Spirit of Truth, sows His word upon many lives that those who are lost might find their way home and those who sit in darkness might have light: so we pray for the many lives by the way side, and the many lives on stony places, and the many lives among thorns, that they might not be deceived by the Whisperer, who speaketh in their ear, even as a thought in their mind that our testimony is of a cult when it is not! But this we know: Though the good seed is sowed, many lives shall remain by the way side, and many lives shall remain upon stony places, and many lives shall remain among thorns: But many lives that had lost their way by reason of ignorance and darkness shall be found to return to the good ground by reason of the Light (Truth) that is the testimony of Jesus Christ. And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) SOME PEOPLE JANUARY 15, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well though some people mount up against me to discredit me, even slay me of my reputation. May the Almighty God and our Lord Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all beware of some people, who are like talebearers, who befriend you that they might learn a secret to use against you. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the West Indies, and Seven Continents, and all the Isles: I salute you this Sabbath as I do each Sabbath in the grace and truth our Lord God Almighty. May His love and the tenderness of His mercy embrace the ghettos in America, and in South Africa, and in the West Indies, which if the truth be told is Jewry. But some people have convinced the world that Jews are Caucasians only: and many do believe; beginning with the so-called black race in America who are indoctrinated from the truth of their heritage, which is a Hebrew, to believe they cannot be Hebrews because of their race. But this secret kept by the servants of Deceit is revealed, not by a talebearer, but by the inspiration of God, which is the Spirit of truth, that the Light shine in darkness and the lost is found. But some people remain in darkness: for this we know: “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved” (St. John 3:19-20). But can I say it better? Nay, so let Him say it: “But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God” (St. John 3:21). So some people are born in the predestination of Christ children as it is written in Ephesians 1:5-12; who are born not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (St. John 1:12-13): and some people are born speaking lies (Psalm 58:3), devising mischief upon their bed and not abhorring evil (Psalm 36:4): and some people are born lost (Jeremiah 50:6); these are those whom our Christ was sent to save (St. Matthew 15:24): and some people it were better if they had not been born (St. Matthew 26:24). But some people, which we are, are wakened from our ignorance by the latent Spirit within us which is the predestination: and some people, which we are, are wakened by the Voice of Truth, which is an understanding we had not heard but know is true when we hear it. So we are not like them, which cannot comprehend the truth; for they believe the truth is a lie and a lie the truth because darkness has covered their mind. These are some people, who appear as the flesh of every race and the faith of every denomination: the living dead are they and the congregation of the dead is their resting place. How then can they be saved? Beloved children of Israel: you who dwell in the ghettos we know are Jewry: If I should die this day, know that I have died already, even been crucified already as prophesied in the early days of this ministry. For all things are not spoken for the eyes of flesh because all things are not seen by the eyes of flesh: so behold that which see all things, which is the third eye and spiritual mind given to the children of Christ. And if you are a child of Christ, then you are a child of God: and if you are a child of God, then you see God in the race of every man; and the race of every man is your brother. For the seed of the European is my brother; and the seed of the Asian is my brother; and the seed of the Latino is my brother; and the seed of the Indian is my brother; and the seed of the African is my brother; and the seed of the Arab is my brother: but the father of us all is Hebrew; and the mother of us all is Jerusalem: so be not offended because we who are Hebrew by nature and birth are a peculiar people. For what began (Exodus 19:5) has not changed (Romans 11:1-5): because salvation is of the Jews (St. John 4:22). Yet, some people interpret Scriptures another way to believe another way; even lessen the omnipotence of God by saying the Holy Bible was written by man to believe the Bible is open for interpretation. But if God is Almighty, how then can man do anything unless God allow? And if God is Almighty, how can man change God’s holy word? Surely there remains a Holy Bible translated out of the Original Tongues that the truth of God is without debate: but some people devise mischief upon their bed to create bogus versions of the Holy Bible to deceive many. But some people are not deceived by the Great Pretender or Imitation of Christ: these are the spirits of the seven thousand reserved unto God, of whom prophet William Saunders Crowdy is one like unto John the Baptist. But even prophet Crowdy teachings has the Devil tarnished to distort the way of truth: some even by confessing the name of prophet William Saunders Crowdy. Such is why Jesus said, God is a Spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Let these words be among my last this Sabbath day because the words pertain to me as it is written: “All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt” (Psalm 41:7). For some people never change the same as the past is the present: for this we have heard and seen even unto this day: “And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people” (St. John 7:12). Indeed some people are born to Hear the Voice of Truth: but some people are born to Deaf and Blindness forever. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE WHISPERER (TALEBEARER) JANUARY 8, 2011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the awareness of the whisperer, who is a talebearer, whose heart is seven abominations as it is written: “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief. A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren” (Proverbs 6:16-19). May the Almighty God and His beloved Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all recognize the whisperer, who is a talebearer, which is one that reveal secrets that should not be revealed, and gossip, and sow strife. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: In our daily walk there are many whisperers, who are the same as backbiters; pretending to admire you with flattering words, yet deceit is in their heart. Beware of them: for they come to separate the chief of friends, even man and wife. For this we know: “A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faith spirit concealeth the matter” (Proverbs 11:13). So even when a talebearer reveals a secret that is true, he reveal for discord and strife: but when the faithful spirit hear the secret he know immediately it comes from the mouth of a talebearer, so he conceal the matter. Let this be one example: If a baby is adopted by parents, it is not righteous for anyone other than the parents who adopted the child to inform the child of his/her adoption: so if some other inform the child, then the informer is a whisperer, which is the same as a talebearer. For we know the truth should be spoken at all times; but a faithful spirit has the wisdom to know when and when not: For have we not learned from our Lord Jesus Christ as it is written in the Gospel of St. Matthew: “Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ” (St. Matthew 16:20)? Verily that is a truth and a secret Jesus commanded not to be revealed: for if a secret is to be made known to a man, the spirit shall reveal it unto him and not a talebearer. Beloved: I shall speak few words this Sabbath day but meaningful as always, and in the grace and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. So hear this from the book of wisdom: “The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly” (Proverbs 18:8). “He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips” (Proverbs 20:19). “Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth” (Proverbs 26:20). Hear those words from the book of wisdom and understand the knowledge that is given: for the characteristics of the whisperer, who is a talebearer, has been revealed from the ancient of times that the faithful spirit be not deceived. So before I close my pen this Sabbath day I write these words as it is written in Holy Scriptures: “Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin” (Proverbs 26:23-28). So let these words be the end of the sermon and the sum of the matter: “An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separeth chief friends” (Proverbs 16:27-28). Beware of the Whisperer! POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) FIRST DAY OF THE GENTILE NEW YEAR JANUARY 1, 20011 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this first day of the Gentile new year, which is a year the same as previous years, which are the days of acceptable sin and evil: men lusting after men and women laying with women as if it is a good and acceptable thing in the eyes of the LORD; even children are openly homosexuals and lesbians as if it is a fashion. So in the first second of a Gentile new year I jump in the custom of a Filipino not for the continuance of things on this earth; but for the day of the LORD and His judgment to come. For what happiness can I, a servant of the LORD, find in this world when all things the LORD hate is lawful? May the LORD God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may this first day of the Gentile new year be a sign from the LORD above of His wrath to come. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: I will speak but a few words this Sabbath day, because my Spirit has commanded me so. May the Lord our God continue to shine His face upon the saints, and upon all who are called to the Adoption. Bless it be the Lord our God whose mercy has preserved us during these trying times, which are the times of the Gentiles, whose power is the hand of Satan. Continue to preserve us O LORD: for in thee do we put our trust: for we know that though we made our bed in hell, you shall not leave our soul in hell, but deliver us according to the forgiveness that come from the blood of your Dear Son Jesus Christ. For through Him are we redeemed to receive the Adoption of sons, that we who are servants become servants no more, but children of God and heirs of the kingdom that is heaven. May the love of our God keep us and protect us from the hand of evil, whose hand in this new year of the Gentile shall grow stronger because time is at hand. But fear not: for is it not written in the word we trust: “LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved" (Psalm 15:1-5). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) IN TESTIMONY DECEMBER 25, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well on this Holy Sabbath day though the world celebrates the birth of Satan’s son, which many do unknowingly, believing Jesus is the reason for the season, but He is not. May the Almighty God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all learn the Truth of this day called Christmas and break the chain of a vain tradition indoctrinated by the Nic-o-la’-i-tanes, whose doctrine our Lord Jesus Christ do hate (Revelation 2:15) . Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Have I not written enough, even removed the clouds that eclipse truth? Yet I continue, not of my will, but by the will of God, because the Spirit of His truth leads me. I am but a humble servant and slave of Jesus Christ, that I continue to uphold the truth of His name and the testimony He held. Yet, men do hide their faces from me, and close their ears to me, that I might leave their sight; beginning with the children of Israel, which is the seed of my own. But should this discourage me, even lessen my credibility, because the tabernacles of Israel built by prophet William Saunders Crowdy whose name I give honor are against me? For not one of their pastors have called me into their house: so are they for me or against me? Indeed even at this present time is Israel the same as the days when Jesus dwelt among us in flesh, even the same as the days of the Old Testament. But should I be surprised by the blindness and deafness of the children of Israel unto this day? Nay: for the Scriptures cannot be changed. For “Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear,) unto this day” (Romans 11:7-8). So I am not dismayed that those who should see and hear, which are the people in the tabernacles built by prophet William Saunders Crowdy, do not; because the past is the present (Ecclesiastes 3:15). So be it then that even he who saluted me in the uniform that is the Church of God and Saints of Christ and defended my name before men, even saying Jesus Christ Himself would have to come down and tell him to deny me, has hid his face from me. Know therefore the influence of vile men is great on righteous hearts; as they persuade many to turn away with distorted scriptures and an old report of my sins. But can they can say anything of me and be true that I have not said of myself in the sermons? Nay: for in the sermons have I not revealed all things pertaining to my spiritual and fleshly life that no man might be able to call me a hypocrite and be true? Indeed the sermons of an Ordinary Man and Justified say it best, that the truth remains in me at all times: for every step I have taken is ordered by the LORD, even the steps that appear unrighteous; because the end of my steps is righteousness; and the end justifies the means if the end is righteous. Surely I have not spoken those words with my own understanding, but with the written understanding of the LORD: for did not Jacob lie and deceive his father Isaac to receive the blessing God had ordained for him? And did not the adultery of David bring forth Solomon the wisest of all men? And did not our Lord Jesus Christ sin on the cross, saying, Father, why have you forsaken me; that we all might be forgiven and saved from our sins? Instead of men hiding their faces from me and closing their ears to me, why do they not show me my errors (if there are any) according to the Scriptures as I show them their errors? But this they cannot do, because I am In Testimony without spot or wrinkle, because the testimony I bring is clearly written in the Scriptures of the only Holy Bible found on earth, which is the Authorized king James Version. For if I, being a Jew of the extreme, can stand with the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible in my right hand and not be proven by any man in error, how true then is the Authorized king James Version compared to the Original Hebrew Tongues? Let common sense have its place: for to be In Testimony is to be in Spirit and in Truth. For He say who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “Ye worship ye know not what: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (St. John 4:22-24). So many ask, What is truth? Do the Scriptures not have the answer for all things? For what say the Gospel of St. John: “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice” (St. John 18:37). But whether a man hear His voice or not, the Light of Christ do shine upon every man that come into the world, that if his works are evil he will flee from the Light and reveal himself as a minion of the Devil. So we are not surprised when men and women do not believe not in our testimony; because though the Light shine in darkness, darkness cannot comprehend the knowledge of the Light; so those who live in darkness remain in darkness because it is their Comfort Zone. But the precious soul, though it may be lost in darkness will comprehend the Light, because the truth is in their heart; so they will hear the voice of truth and believe even though the knowledge is that which they had not heard before or imagined, because the knowledge is the written word of God which they believe above all things. So In Testimony, who am I? Now in closing I say this as it is written in St. John 1:1-14: and let those who are true in faith, Read and Hear the Holy Word of God: “IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”. And let the people say, Amen.

I am well in the word of Psalm 25. May the Almighty God and the mighty God Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the word of Psalm 25 be recited by us all as the knowledge of us all. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine on the continents and isles: I salute you all as I do each Sabbath in the Spirit and Truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let the sermons be ignored if so, but let the testimonies have their effect at the end. For we wait as it is our patience, even in our desolation and affliction do we wait. For we know patience is great and the end is better: so though the troubles of our heart are enlarged, we know our God shall bring us out of our distresses: for He shall forgive us our sins to keep our soul and deliver us that we are not ashamed, because we put our trust in Him. For this we know: “All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies”. Dearly Beloved: In patience I have witnessed that which I believed I would never witness, which is the election of a black man as the President of America. In a blessing from On High during this holy week, Have I not shaken that man’s hand, even gazed upon his eyes in the spirit that is known to him? Did he not give me his suit jacket from off his back to hold, and pat his hand upon my back because of the word that came from my mouth into his ear alone? Is my face not found behind his in a picture from the New York Times? Yea, though I am not connected to the White House in anyway, all those things were done this very week, and are evident, even placed in the files of the President called Obama. May the LORD God Almighty continue to bless him and protect him, that he be not ashamed, neither shall his enemies triumph over him. So though his enemies do multiply and conspire to lessen his popularity, even disgrace his legacy, they shall not prevail; because his eyes are always toward the LORD; and the LORD shall pluck his feet from out of the net. For integrity and uprightness preserve Obama: and his soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. For his prayers are heard and his wishes shall be granted: and his popularity shall soar higher than any past President. For the measurement of a man’s days is not the beginning, but the end: so be patient and wait on the change that was promised by him; because his words shall prevail over his enemies, which are many, and whose hate is a cruel hatred. For the secret of the LORD is with them that fear the LORD, which he do: and because he fear the LORD the LORD will show him the way that make peace, and grow the economy, and make better days and nights for the poor and middle class. Prayers and Blessings are upon you and your family, Barack Obama, from all the saints of Christ. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Psalm 25: 1-21: and let us Read and Hear what the Spirit say from the heart of an upright man: “UNTO thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD. Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. Look upon mine affliction and my pain: and forgive all my sins. Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee”. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE UPRIGHT DECEMBER 11, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well among the upright, who rejoice in the LORD, because praise is comely for the upright (Psalm 33:1). May the LORD our God and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be counted among the upright. For the Scripture say, “Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart” (Psalm 32:11). For this we know: “My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart” (Psalm 7:10). “For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright” (Psalm 11:7). Amen. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the faithful and true seed of the European, and African, and Asian, and Latino, and Indian, and Arab, and Jew: I greet you all this Sabbath day in the Spirit and Truth of the Upright: for we know the law of the LORD is perfect: and we know the testimony of the LORD is sure: and we know the statutes of the LORD are right: and we know the commandment of the LORD is pure: and we know the fear of the LORD is clean: and we know the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. But this we know also: “For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart” (Psalm 11:2): because the LORD do try the righteous (Psalm 11:5). So should we not guard ourselves against our iniquity, which is the nature of our human flesh; even pray to be cleansed from secret faults? For who is he that keeps us from committing the sin that we consider in thought because of the nature of our sinful flesh? And need we not be cleansed from secret faults, that these faults might not overtake us unawares? There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and avoided evil (Job 1:1): and when the LORD gave Job into the hand of Satan (Job 2:3-6) (because the upright are tried) and Satan smote Job with sore boils from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head (Job 2:7), the wife of Job said unto him, curse God and die (Job 2:9). But Job, a perfect and upright man said unto her, You speak as one of the foolish women speak. Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? (Job 2:10). We know by reason of the story of Job that Satan going to and fro in the earth, and walking up and down in it, seek to capture the upright that their heart might be turned from the love of God, because pain and suffering has come upon them without cause; not knowing the cause is for the sake of righteousness, that the glory of the upright shine even in trouble times, and times of affliction; though the affliction is sickness and disease; even this thing called cancer, which grief is very great. And though the upright man is laughed to scorn (Job 12:4) because he continues his praise of God though his grief is very great in his captivity, will he not continue in praise? But if his suffering is long and great, will he not need a messenger for inspiration, when his soul weakens because of the nature of human flesh: even an interpreter that he utters not that which he understands not and learn the wonderful things of God that he knew not? It is written in the book of Job, “Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom” (Job 33:22-24). And the ransom is this: “The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright” (Proverbs 21:18). For this we know: Job did slip into the doubtful mind, to be overtaken by his secret faults from the arrows of the wicked. For we have read: “Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men. For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God” (Job 34:35-37). But, because of his upright heart, God sent Job a messenger and an interpreter of the name Elihu, even a Comforter, that the faith that was return: and the heart of the upright, which is to pray for your friends even before yourself, was restored: for this is a perfect and upright man. For we have read: “And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before” (Job 42:10). Amen. So we who are upright are tried, that we might prove ourselves even in the likeness of sinful flesh. But we are not forgotten if we fall: for the LORD will hear the cry of the upright and send a messenger for inspiration and an interpreter that we might understand the reason for our affliction, even a Comforter that we find solace in our troubled mind. For many know not that our fall into captivity is not by sinful actions only, but when we consider sinful thoughts also: for this we know, that no thought can be withholding from God (Job 42:1-2): so should we not pray to be cleansed from our secret faults even as we pray to be acquitted from our iniquity? For this we know and our Christ so said it: “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance” (St. Luke 15:7). So beloved: let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Psalm 19:7-14: and let us Read and Hear what the Spirit say to the Church: “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer”. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE GRAVE DECEMBER 4, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because though I go to the grave, my God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, because He shall receive me that I see not the second death, which is the power of the grave. May the Lord our God and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the Almighty God redeem us all from the power of the grave. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: though many have turned back by reason of an old report, and by reason of another man’s influence, to hide their face from me; yet remain you steadfast and unmovable in this assembly, which is the truth of the LORD. May the Greatness of our God continue to shine His Love and Blessings upon you, that though your soul might be full of troubles and your life nigh unto the grave, being counted with them that go down into the pit because the influence of the wicked (pride, greed, selfishness, envy and jealousy, a liar, gossip, laziness, thievery, ignorance, lust, conceit, disobedience to parents, disrespect for others, wealth, drunkenness, addiction, and all things that take away uprightness) has captured you; He that is full of Mercy will hear your prayer for redemption because of the goodness of your heart and you will be saved. This we know then, that, there are many good hearts that have fallen victim to wickedness for a moment and a time, to lose their way in the LORD, which turns them to darkness and leads them to the pit. For surely we have heard the Psalm of David: “O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that have no strength” (Psalm 88:1-4). So, though some of us might fall into the wickedness of sin because of the nature of our sinful flesh, to be counted with them that go down into the pit; even to be laid in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps (Psalm 88:6); yet if our heart is true to the LORD, will we not pray for redemption, and will He not hear? Is it not written that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God? Surely we all shall see the grave: but will not the soul of God’s servants be delivered from the grave? For is it not written: “But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me” (Psalm 49:15). For the Psalm say: “O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit” (Psalm 30:2-3). Know therefore then that we are judged after the first death, when we go down into the grave: for we shall surely go down into the grave save those who were called both body and soul into heaven without the death of flesh; whose names are Enoch and Elijah. Herein we know only God can save the soul from the grave: and because rich men and good hearts have made their grave unwittingly with the wicked, the Love and Mercy of our God sent us a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who made His grave with the wicked and rich that one might be saved. For is it not written of Christ from the 53rd chapter of the book of Isaiah: “And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him: he hath put him to grief: when thou shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:9-12). So even is the wicked forgiven in their transgressions because of God’s mercy, if the meditation of their heart is pure. But let none be without understanding: for Christ made His grave with the wicked and the rich that they might overcome the power of the grave by receiving and doing the will of God through the strength of His spirit and the light of His eyes. For we shall surely see the grave: but he that overcomes the wickedness of flesh shall be saved from the second death, which is the true death. For this we know to be true, because it is written: “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8). But as it is written in the Old Testament: “But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come” (Job 14:10-14): so is it revealed in the New Testament: “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, In the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory” (I Corinthians 15:51-54). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE RICH – PART TWO NOVEMBER 27, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well. May the Almighty God and His only begotten Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be rich in the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of the LORD. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Many have indeed fallen along the way, to turn back from this assembly. Yet more never came, but despised and rejected me; hiding their faces from me and esteeming me not. But those who are the rich in faith, though poor and needy to the world, have not taken a step back but move forward even as I move forward in the same footsteps that began this ministry on the world-wide-web in the Gentile time of 2001. Surely if I end these sermons this day, have I not fulfilled God’s purpose? Nay: I have fulfilled nothing unless the ending is of God’s will. So how do I know God’s will? Is it not a spirit, even a thought that motivates and inspires the will of flesh to believe the Holy Bible (Authorized king James Version)? Surely it is so, that the rich in the eyes of God do the will of God. For we know He said, who is Christ our Lord, “Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God” (St. Matthew 19:23-24). So Christ who was rich, was made poor for our sake, that the rich become of faith to enter the kingdom of God and not by the riches of earth. For this we know: “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (II Corinthians 8:9). For the rich in the eyes of God is not the wealth on earth (because it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God); but knowledge and wisdom and understanding of the Word, which is the rich in faith. But out of God’s mercy and love for man, Christ made his grave with the wicked and with the rich, to bear the sins of many and make intercession for the transgressors that He might cast out the devil that has possessed them. These are good people that have fallen victim to lust, and greed, and envy, and jealousy, and confusion, and drug abuse, and all manner of unrighteousness. For even unto them is a Savior sent, Christ our Lord, who was numbered with the transgressors that His grave be made with the wicked that one might be saved in the soul of His death. For this we know from the prophecy of Isaiah: “For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him: he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:2-12). So who are the rich? Are they not the rich in faith? For this we know: “For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways” (James 1:11). Be therefore rich in faith, which never fades away, though the mind of doubt do weaken us: for the rich in faith are strengthened by the Word when they hear it; thus the LORD do send a messenger and an interpreter which the rich in faith do receive because the Word embraces their soul. This messenger and interpreter of the Scriptures is the Spirit of Truth, which is the same as the Holy Ghost. But though we are rich in faith, have we not transgressions because of the sinful flesh? And because the doubtful mind do weaken us when we are sorely chastised for our transgressions, will not the LORD deliver us a messenger to keep our soul back from the pit even if we die from the chastisement of God? For this we know: “He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness; Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth: He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness” (Job 33:18-26). For this we know: “But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding” (Job 32:8). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE RICH NOVEMBER 20, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because despite my debts I am rich in faith, the same as it is written, “Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?” (James 2:5). So be it then. May the Almighty God and His beloved Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be found among the rich in faith. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: You who have not fallen away from the assembly at hand as many so have: I give testimony unto you this Sabbath day because you are the rich in faith. This we know: “The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifted up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them” (I Samuel 2:7-8). So who are the rich that trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches? The Scripture saith: “HEAR this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: Both low and high, rich and poor, together. My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. Their inward though is, that their house shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him” (Psalm 49:1-17). Such is why we know that of faith, hope, and charity; charity is the greatest of these three (I Corinthians 13:13). So let the rich know they are made rich for the sake of providing charity for the poor: for such is the purpose of the rich; even the rich in faith. Beloved: Let there be none mistaken by the testimony at hand: for the rich man is not sin unless his riches become greed, and glory for himself, and conceit. For this we know: “The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; and before honour is humility” (Proverbs 18:11-12). And this we know: “He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want” (Proverbs 22:16). For we have heard that it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven: but are the rich banned from heaven? How can it be so if charity is greater than hope and faith? The word say: “He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich” (Proverbs 10:4). So we are raised to provide for our own, especially those of our own household: so let us work with a diligent hand and not with a slacking hand: for the word of God say, “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel” (I Timothy 5:8). “For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward” (I Timothy 5:18). So let us think not that the rich are against the way of God because it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven: but let us know this: “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life” (I Timothy 6:17-19). For we know the poor is hated, but the rich have many friends (Proverbs 14:20): but let the rich be not high-minded to trust in their own wealth and neglect the poor. For this we know: “Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich” (Proverbs 28:6). So who are the rich in God? It is written, “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” (Proverbs 10:22). And it is written, “Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him the glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD” (Jeremiah 9:23-24). Amen. End of Part One POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) DEBTS NOVEMBER 13, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well though I have debts. May the Almighty God and His beloved Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may our debts be forgiven as we forgive our debtors. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Surely these sermons of mine shall come to an end, even as the Old Testament came to an end: but afterwards the word of God shall continue. So if this be my last sermon, let it be known that I am as David in his hiding from Saul: therefore let the word of the Old Testament be fulfilled again that the word of God continue, saying, “And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men” (I Samuel 22:2). So is it now in these days, the same as it was in the ancient of days, because the past is the present. For I am made an outcast as was David: and gathered unto me is a small number that come from distress, and debt, and discontent: these are the faithful and true in the kingdom of Israel re-established by prophet William Saunders Crowdy. And our distress is the patience of a saint on this earth governed by the laws of Satan; and our debt is not to God, but to usury and the sureties (debt collectors) that come after; and our discontent is with him that call himself king in Israel and with the chief priests that have tarnished the truth of our Christ. Surely there is no hardship among the people that I have not, or will not have: for I have not come from among the elite, but from the common man; not to be lifted up, but to be lifted up and dropped back down to lift others up. I have kept no secrets from you, but revealed all things in my sermons. And if any have an ear let them hear the testimony of an Ordinary Man and Justified. Beloved: I who was poor, yet made rich, then poor again because of debts, yet still rich despite so, because my debts are not to the Lord; am called to gather everyone in distress, and everyone in debt, and everyone discontent, into the assembly of the Firstborn who is Christ our Lord and Savior. I Cornelius, the son of Helen, the daughter of Ruth and Earl, from the tribe of Judah, was a debtor to the Lord, because Christ brought my mortal body for a price: but I erased that debt by walking uprightly, and working righteousness, and speaking the truth in my heart, which is the reasonable and acceptable service to God. So my debts are now to the world, even to flesh, of which none I live by; so the Lord has forgiven these debts as I have forgiven my debtors. Search not for me then on the welfare line, neither in the gutter: for I am not without home, neither without comfort, nor of any shame. For my debts have not taken anything from me that belong to the Lord; so has He not forgiven my debts? Let us therefore forgive our debtors, that we be not as that wicked servant found in the parable from our Lord Jesus Christ: “Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not tohis lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses” (St. Matthew 18:23-35). So let us forgive our debtors as our Lord has forgiven our debts: for this we know because it is the law of God: “And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase” (Leviticus 25:35-37). This we know: If the country is under the blessing from God, then the laws of the country abide in the word of God. If this country of America be so, would we be in distress, or in debt, or discontent? We are in distress because the governors of this world hold allegiance to Satan: and we are in debt because we are poor and usury increases our debts: and we are discontent because wayward pastors have changed the truth of God into a lie. Our distress and discontent shall vanish when the book of Revelation is fulfilled: and our debts shall be as it is written in the law of God; “If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury” (Exodus 22:25). For this we know because it is the wisdom of God: “Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts. If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?” (Proverbs 22:26-27). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) SAVED NOVEMBER 6, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in these words: “I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies” (Psalms 18:3). May the Lord God Almighty and His beloved Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may these words be the meditation of our heart, “Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved” (Psalm 80:3). Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from near and far: If we say we have not sinned with our fathers from the ancient of days we lie. “We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea. Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known” (Psalm 106:6-8). So has the works of our God been done unto this day, that for His name’s sake we are predestinated to be saved from the hand of them that hate us, which are the minions of Satan; and redeemed from the hand of our enemy, which is sin. This we have because of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who has saved us with the shedding of His blood for Israel sake. For this we know: Salvation is of the Jews! Understand then why it is written in the book of Zechariah: “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the shirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you” (Zechariah 8:23). So as Jesus came a Jew and each of His apostles to the house of Israel first, so come I: for is it not written: “But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end” (Isaiah 45:17). Know therefore then O house of Israel and all who take hold of the shirt of a Jew, the goodness and loving-kindness of our God who has saved the spirits of these for the predestination at hand: “I will mention the lovingkindness of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour” (Isaiah 63:7-8). Hence: “I WILL bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him” (Psalm 34:1-9). Beloved Faithful and True from the seed of the African, and European, and Latino, and Asian, and Indian, and Arab, and Jew: Are we not those children who will not lie? Are we not witnesses of the Almighty God and His wonderful works? Do we not fear our God because we are His saints? We are indeed the children of God raised in the adoption from Jesus Christ, our Father, even as God is our Father that we as His children are servants in His work. So let the worthy be counted: for many claim themselves to be worthy; but worthy is to endure all trials and tribulations unto the end. And who can be a servant of God and not a minister? For as we learn, are we not sent to teach to the unlearned? And if we teach, are we not ministers of the Word? And if we are ministers of the Word, do these words not pertain to us also: “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved” (St. Matthew 10:16-22). So we are saved by faith and trust and works in the LORD, even by the fear of the LORD: for when we fear the LORD, we fear not man, but only He that can kill both body and soul in hell, which is the power of the LORD. So man we fear not: for we know man can harm the body, but not the soul: and by the soul are we saved: so we fear not the things men can do unto us: because He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world. Trust therefore in the Word which saves: for many have heard the word only to fall by the way side. And if one should ask, Who are those by the way side? I say it not, but Jesus Christ our Lord has said, “Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved” (St. Luke 8:12). So the way side are those that fall victim to the doubtful mind, which is always circling like vultures waiting for death. Know therefore then why it is written: “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out” (St. Luke 13:23-28). Surely we who are faithful and true shall not find ourselves locked outside the door that is Christ: for He say, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture” (St. John 10:9). But if a man be late, to arrive when the Lord has shut the door, will he not be left standing without, knocking for entrance without? Where is that man then, but left for the prey of Death and Hell! Watch therefore for the coming of the Lord’s messengers and the calling of His assembly, which we know by reason of Spirit and Truth. Not by spirit only, but by spirit and truth. For this we know: “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (St. Matthew 24:24). But we who are the true messengers, which are sent to prepare the way for the great tribulation to come that a man might be saved, are given the power to make the blind of truth see the truth; and the deaf of truth hear the truth; and the lame of life to walk in life. We are not given power for the eyes of flesh; so be not deceived: for the first tribulation is the patience of saints, in which days the servants of Satan have power to even make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. Beware therefore: for Christ has forewarned us in Matthew 24:24-25; even in Revelation 13:11-17. Who then shall be saved? Is it not written in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of the new Jerusalem that shall descend out of heaven from God (Revelation 21:10-24). And who shall be a witness to marvel at that sight of a great and holy city descending from out of the sky? Will it not be those who trusted by faith and labored for truth unto the end? For this we know: “NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). So be it then, that we who are saved receive the baptism not only of the Holy Ghost, but of fire, which is the baptism of enduring forty and two months of the beast without receiving his mark upon our hand, or on our forehead. This is the meaning of the Scriptures that are written in St. Matthew 3:11-12. So our fire is not the unquenchable fire, but trouble times, when men must decide to follow the things at hand or the things to come. But in faith are we saved by our works: because faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. So we live our life for what will be: knowing pain and death to this mortal flesh is a necessity for immortality. And let the people say, Amen.

I am well though I stand in the midst of trouble times, which is the hand of those that seek to smite my life down to the ground, even to persecute my soul. May the Lord God Almighty and His beloved Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may our God hear our prayer to cut off our enemies and to give us the wisdom to defeat those who seek to rob us through their courts. Dear God: As I praise you on this holy Sabbath day, which in the Gentile world is the eve of Halloween, which is the pagan worship of Hades; I pray for deliverance from the clutches of those that seek to rob me. Protect me dear God and lift me up above the power in the hand of those that seeks to persecute my soul and make me dwell in darkness. Deliver me O God from my mistakes which strengthen them, because I am your servant. Bring light upon me and add deep darkness upon them, that the error of my ways is hid from them. Teach me to know the things and ways to defeat them, that even in their own knowledge I am king. Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning; for in you, O Great God, do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk to avoid their nets and secret traps: for I lift my soul into your hands. Bring comfort upon me that my concerns disappear and my mind find rest always. Hear my prayer speedily O LORD, because my soul is troubled and I groan in the spirit. Deliver my thoughts in your strength and knowledge that I shall prevail and I will trust; because He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world. Let me always remember and never forget: for I will meditate on all your works. So I pray daily unto you, O God, that you strengthen me with your presence; because this vessel of human flesh which nothing can precede is as weak as a soaked piece of bread. So, because my spirit is willing I pray daily for my increase in faith, that the doubtful mind be removed, which is always circling. Hear this prayer of mine O Lord my God, because I am your humble and faithful servant. Protect me and keep me from the error of my ways: and deliver me from the hand of those who seek to rob me. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) BLESSINGS OCTOBER 23, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the blessings of the Almighty, which is even the love that has covered the sins of many. May the Almighty God and His beloved Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all count the blessings from our God, which blessings never end, because the end is Eternal Life. Beloved Readers of the Sermons: The words of God’s law are both blessings and cursings (Joshua 8:34-35): let us find ourselves on the side of blessings, which we receive in our labor, and in our leisure, and by the fruit of our body, and when we leave our homes, and when we enter our homes: for God is Faithful to add His blessings upon us, because we are His saints. And though our vessel of human flesh knows only the blessings we receive upon the earth, our spirit know the blessings of heaven above, even the blessings of the grave beneath. And if one should ask, What are the blessings of the grave? I say unto him and all who seek an answer: It is the blessing received by Lazarus: moreover, the blessing that rose our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ from the dead. Surely the rising of Lazarus from the dead was a sign for the common man, that even he by the will of Christ shall be raised from the dead. For this we know because it is written: “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory” (I Corinthians 15:52-54). So though we die to be buried in the grave, our vessel die and is buried, but our soul lives upright in the heaven above by the blessings bestowed upon us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For this we know because it is written: “O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit” (Psalm 30:4). So we, the blessed children by reason of our faith and works, are raised up by the blessing of the grave, which grave is even set as a hidden and secret place for us until the wrath of Judgment Day has past. Then shall we be remembered, and risen up upon a new heaven and earth, which is the set time, because it is the last trumpet. And if one seek understanding of those words I have spoken: here is understanding: “But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come” (Job 14:10-14). That is the blessing from the grave and the wisdom of I Corinthians 15:52-54. Beloved: here is knowledge: Have not some who were blessed to receive the word of the LORD, even to be named priests and ministers of God, turned their blessings into a curse? Yea for sure many from the seed of Israel (whose seed is blessed forever), being priests and so-called worshippers of God, opposed our Lord Jesus Christ and turned their blessings into a curse: but were their blessings not turned into a curse before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ? Were those priests that denied our Lord Jesus Christ not predestinated to wickedness because of their corrupt seed from the curse of the Old Testament? This we know because it is written: “And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it” (Malachi 2:1-3). So know this: Even the blessings you have received from God can be turned into a curse if you turn from the way of God’s law. For the blessing of your breast can become a curse; and the blessing of your womb; and the blessing of your marriage; and the blessing of your children; and the blessing of fame; and the blessing of wealth; even the blessing of knowledge. So think not because you have received blessings, you need not continue in the service to God, because blessings are given for obedience as curses are given for disobedience. Be not therefore as the many who take the blessings of God for granted because of their faith alone: for this we know because it is written: “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also” (James 2:26). For by works is a man justified, and not by faith only ((James 2:20-24). So be not taken away by the voice that is void of understanding: for this we know because it is wisdom: “In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding” (Proverbs 10:13). Count your blessings and keep them: for there are a number of blessings we cannot count, because they are the blessings of heaven above, even the blessings of Eternal Life. Count your blessings and keep them from turning into a curse: for many have been blessed with a soul mate, yet took their mate for granted and lost that mate forever: so has the blessing of that marriage not turned into a curse? Verily it has: for we remember the testimony of our brother Luciano whose blessed marriage turned into a curse by reason of his sin. So beware: for obedience to the commandments are blessings: but disobedience to the commandments is a curse. Dear brothers and sisters of mine from the seed of the Latino, and European, and African, and Asian, and Indian, and Arab, and Jew: I pray you all receive the blessings from God that are laid upon the earth, and have the patience to wait for the blessings of heaven above, which cannot be received until you endure unto the end the faith and hope of Jesus Christ. But in wisdom here is the word: “Blessings are upon the head of the just” (Proverbs 10:6). “A faithful man shall abound with blessings” (Proverbs 28:20). So in closing I say this as it is written: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3-12). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) CONFIDENCE OCTOBER 16, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in my confidence, which is strong in the LORD and His beloved Son Jesus Christ. May the Lord our God and His only begotten Son heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the confidence in their Name be strong in us all. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the seed of the Faithful and True: Though many have fallen from our company, losing hope in this assembly, to return to that from which they came, which is a house of darkness and ignorance and foolishness; confident are we who have not; because we know Truth is the word of God and Confidence is the faith to believe in the word of God. Indeed many say they have confidence in the LORD, but upon further inspection they have doubt, which gives a place for the fear of man: and when sudden fear, which is a fear that comes unexpected like a robber in the night, falls upon the doubtful mind, what confidence is there in that man who is unfaithful because of his doubt? Here is wisdom: “Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint” (Proverbs 25:19). And here is wisdom: If I fall into a death pit and there be a man outside the pit who is willing from the goodness of his heart to save me with his hand, do I put my confidence in that man who I can see or the LORD who I cannot see? The Scripture say, “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man” (Psalm 118:8). So I believe in the Scripture, knowing that only by my confidence in God is that man present to save me; and only by my prayer to God can that man pull me out without falling into the pit himself or being unable to reach me. Therefore it is always better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man; because all things are delivered by the LORD. So believe this: “Be not afraid of sudden fear; neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken” (Proverbs 3:25-26). Amen. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the faithful and true seed of the Latino, and Indian, and African, and Asian, and European, and Arab, and Jew: Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (I John 4:4). So I recite these words, which are true, and from a wise: “In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge” (Proverbs 14:26). For the wicked are confident in their own works, and in their own hands, believing their gain will not perish; trusting in the works of their flesh with confidence. But this we know because it is the word of God: “If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence; If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much; If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness; And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above” (Job 31:28). That is to say, if a man do those things, he deny the God above, because he give praise to himself. So the confidence of the wicked, which influence many because it is like a mighty city, we put away with these words: “A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof” (Proverbs 21:22). That is to say the word of God is the wisdom to scale all things to defeat the proud and haughty scorner whose confidence and strength is boastful lies even in the name of God. Know this therefore: “Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath” (Proverbs 21:23-24). For these are the days that were, and are, and are to come: the same as it is written in the book of Micah, saying, “The good man is perished out of the earth: and there in none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house” (Micah 7:2-7). If you heard the word of the LORD that came to Micah, you heard the word say: “For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house”. So said He also the same, when the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us as the only begotten of God, full of grace and truth (St. John 1:14): “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household” (St. Matthew 10:34-36). So who is the Judge? And where is the Judgment? I pray every man and woman called into this assembly of the Firstborn be confident in these words, which are the words from the mouth of our Lord and Savior Himself: “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, is not worthy of me” (St. Matthew 10:37-38). That is to say, before my mother and father or sister and brother, Christ is: and if I be for Christ but they for the world; then they are not my mother or father or sister and brother. Thus I must separate myself from them when able, that foes are not those of my own household. “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end” (Hebrews 3:1-6). So let no man loosely say, I am the house of Christ because I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior: for the Scripture say we are the house of Christ “if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end”. For He say, who is Jesus Christ Himself: “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (St. Matthew 24:13). For the prophecy from Micah is this also, which are the words that came after from the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ: “Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (St. Mark 13:12-13). So the cross we take and bear is not an idol as men mount in churches and upon graves; but the same as the footsteps of Jesus, which is the pain and suffering even death of our flesh for righteousness sake. Beloved: Have I not strong confidence in the LORD, which confidence is revealed daily by this ministry, which no man has proven in error according to the only Holy Bible before the eyes of men (Authorized king James Version); yet am I hated even among the blood of my own family because of the haughty scorner and foolish one. But this we know: “A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident” (Proverbs 14:16). But we have no such confidence as of fools: for our confidence is in the Word: and if the Word is in us, who can destroy us? So if the Word cannot be destroyed, neither can we; so happy are we in the Word. For in the Word have we seen the end of the LORD, which is Eternal Life: but none can see this save he that have the confidence to endure unto the end. But we, my beloved brothers and sisters, have strong confidence in the Word, so we endure unto the end the things that seek to weaken and frighten us; which are debts, and loneliness, and worry, and threats, and pain, and death, even sudden fear. For this we know: “For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end” (Hebrews 3:14). So let us not fall upon the path of the hypocrites, who love in word and tongue, but not in deed and truth. For this we know: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (St. John 4:24). So hear this: “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight” (I John 3:18-22). “And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him” (I John 2:28-29). “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” (I John 5:14-15). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) HAPPY OCTOBER 9, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well, because though my soul is troubled and my body chastened, I am happy; because whom the LORD love the LORD correct. So we praise the LORD always for the glory of His word; because it is the word of God that makes us happy: and what say the word of God: “Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty. For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee” (Job 5:17-19). May the Lord God Almighty and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be happy; for “Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God” (Psalm 146:5). Beloved brothers and sisters of mine and strangers alike: Happy am I because of you that read the Sermons and see and hear the Spirit of Truth therein. For though I have instructed many with the knowledge of the truth; and strengthened many in their faith; yet do I also need inspiration, which I do receive from the Readers that give testimony for the Sabbath sermons. So happy am I because of you that are true in your faith and spirit, which are happy, because you have found wisdom and understanding, which is the tree of life. For this we know: “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens” (Proverbs 3:13-19). So when we find wisdom and get understanding, we find the Truth of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. For wisdom is the word of God: but what is the Word without understanding? Know therefore then why it is written: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7). But is understanding found some other place than in the written word of God? Nay: for is it not written: “For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6). So we preach the understanding that come from out of the mouth of God, which is the written word of God from the Holy Scriptures (Authorized king James Version), whose foundation is the apostles and prophets with Jesus Christ Himself the chief cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20). For this we know by the reason of common sense: If any version of the Holy Scriptures removes the name of Jesus once, that version is bogus in all things. So happy are we in the knowledge that Hebrews 4:8 in all versions of the Holy Bible save the Authorized king James Version has changed the name of Jesus to Joshua: And happy are we in the understanding of the Scriptures to know why. For deception began with the “New King James Version” and increased with the popularity of the “New International Version”, with other versions of the Holy Bible springing forth to darken understanding with the thought of an easier read. But happy is he that finds wisdom and gets understanding: for the deceitful heart has given a long explanation as to why the name of Jesus was changed to Joshua in their versions of Hebrews 4:8, which many good hearts have grown accustomed to believe and be deceived. But if knowledge is found and understanding received, happy are you that cannot be deceived by the twisting tongue. So here is knowledge: “He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he” (Proverbs 16:20): because he follow the whole law of God which is every word of God. So listen not to those who hold one of those bogus versions of the Holy Bible, saying it is good to read this version or that version because changing Jesus name to Joshua in Hebrews 4:8 is only one point. Hear them not to believe them; but know they speak with an understanding that is flawed, even darkened. For this we know because it is written without spot or wrinkle: “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10). “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he” (Proverbs 29:18). So we are happy because we know the truth to keep the law of God: and though we are greatly outnumbered, to be only few; this we know because it is the written without spot or wrinkle: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (St. Matthew 7:13-14). So happy are we to be in the narrow way, though we are few, because only few shall find Life, which is the Knowledge of the Truth. But many there be in the broad way, which is the same as reading and believing various versions of the Holy Bible, which lead to destruction, because one can never come to the Knowledge of the Truth. Indeed the Scripture say it best: “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (II Timothy 3:7). Know therefore then, that, all versions of the Holy Bible except the Authorized king James Version is inspired by men and not God; and is an invention from them. So hear these words from the wisest of men whose word is written without spot or wrinkle: “Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions” (Ecclesiastes 7:29). What makes any seek an invention to perfect the work of God? Is the work of God not perfect? Is it not written: “He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he” (Deuteronomy 32:4). Did not Christ our Lord and Savior say, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (St. Matthew 5:48). So if God is perfect, then His word, which is His church, is without spot or wrinkle? Who then would seek to perfect the Holy Bible, to change a name, or a word, or to make an easier read, but a devil sent to deceive. Let your common sense be made known: for if I a Jew who speak openly against Christianity with the Authorized king James Version of the Holy Bible in my right hand, cannot be proven in error by the scholars and wise men of the earth, how true then is the Authorized king James Version? Surely I am happy in the Knowledge of the Truth, though we are few compared to all the earth, because the Truth shall set you free. Now: Think not that I Cornelius, a servant, is greater than my Master, even Lord, who is Jesus Christ. Neither am I greater than He who sent me, which is the Holy Ghost. But happy am I in the knowledge that I am a servant for Christ Jesus. For if I am a servant in the willingness of my heart, then I become a son, and then an heir of God through Christ: for this we know because it is written without spot or wrinkle: “Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” (Galatians 4:7). So though I am reproached for the true name of Christ, happy am I: and though I suffer for righteousness sake, happy am I: because we count them happy that endure; because only they shall be saved. So let us be patient unto the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ: for we have heard the patience of Job: and we have seen the end of the Lord, which is Eternal Life. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) TROUBLED SOUL OCTOBER 2, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well though my soul is troubled because of my infirmity, which is the nature of human flesh: yet also is my troubled soul the mortal flesh of the souls under the altar of God who were slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held, but impatiently wait for their blood to be avenged on the earth. May the Lord God Almighty and His Beloved Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may our troubled soul in human flesh be overcome by the faith and patience of a saint; and may our troubled soul under the altar of God be comforted by the Judgment Day that is nigh to come. And if a man should say, How can a soul be troubled under the altar of God when the altar is God’s sanctuary in the kingdom of heaven? I say unto that man and all who agree: Have I spoken anything other than what is written in the word of God? Hear ye therefore then as it is written in the book of Revelation: “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled” (Revelation 6:9-11). Are those souls not troubled, who cry unto the Lord from under the altar, because they wait for their blood to be avenged on the earth? Surely if you hear what you read, you shall learn the meaning of the words that are written. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the Latino seed; and African seed; and European seed; and Indian seed; and Asian seed; and Arab seed; and Hebrew seed: I speak this Sabbath as I do each Sabbath in the love for you all, with a holy kiss for you all, in the salutation of Jesus Christ. Let the troubled soul, whether troubled by doubt, or guilt, or anger, or fear, or death, or loneliness, or pain, or a broken-heart, or unemployment, or any manner of worry; find comfort in the word of the Lord and peace in the trust of His Name: for by faith in His Word shall you overcome to endure and be saved. For David wrote: “I CRIED unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. Will the Lord cast off for for ever? and will he be favourable no more? Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?” (Psalm 77:1-13). So this we know: Even the great men of God who inspired others find themselves in need of inspiration because of human flesh, which nothing can precede; so even we who are ordained by the hand of God Himself are subject to the thoughts of doubt, and worry, and fear. Be that the faith in us rise up to overcome the infirmity of human flesh, that we do not lose our confidence in the power that is God. For the continuance of this evil world has brought upon much doubt that God is true; even many of the faithful losing faith because of their burdens and tribulations. But let the Holy Scriptures be read and heard: “Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintiest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same” (Job 4:3-8). Remember therefore the word of God’s wisdom: “Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off” (Proverbs 23:17-18). Let us therefore find our strength in He that is in us, which is the LORD: for we who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior trust in the word of our Lord and Savior; even every word of the apostles and prophets whom He sent. And this we know: “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair: Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh” (II Corinthians 4:8-11). So if the life of Jesus is manifested in our mortal flesh, then he also walked in human flesh with a troubled soul, as we walk at times with a troubled soul. For there is no thought, neither any feeling we have, that Jesus Himself did not have. But by faith in prayer did He overcome the infirmity that is in us all by reason of human nature: so we by faith in prayer overcome the infirmity that is natural in our mortal flesh. This you might not have heard though it is written, the soul of our Lord Jesus was troubled, even as we are troubled by the fear of death. For how many of us in the face of danger stood strong without trembling, but when we escaped, our bones did shake? Were we not made strong in that moment of fear by the spirit of our faith? Did we not escape because of our silent prayer from a troubled spirit, even a troubled soul? Now if one should say unto me, What meaning is this, to say Jesus our Lord was a troubled soul? Do you not speak blasphemy; even the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost? I Cornelius, the son of Helen, the daughter of Ruth and Earl, from the tribe of Judah, say this as our Lord Jesus Christ so said by the Holy Ghost: “Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour” (St. John 12:27). And is it not written: “When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me” (St. John 13:21). And was the soul of Jesus mortal flesh not troubled when He said on the cross, “E’li, E’li, la’ma sa-bach’tha-ni? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (St. Matthew 27:46). Yet by FAITH is the infirmity of fear overcome (St. Luke 23:46); and the doubt/lack of confidence (St. John 11:33-43); and the stormy waters (St. Matthew 14:25-31). So be it then, that, you receive us, whom Christ has sent. For I speak even as the apostle Paul because my spirit is so: “Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. For, when we were come into Mac-e-do’-ni-a, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears” (II Corinthians 7:2-5). But these fears we overcome by the Faith and Hope of Jesus Christ. So hear these words, all who are called to be saints of Christ: “We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith growth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ” (II Thessalonians 1:3-12). “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit , nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God” (II Thessalonians 2:1-4). This is the hour when the son of perdition shall rise up in the earth and sit as a President; even an ancient Roman emperor like unto Nero. For these are the days that were, but are again, even foretold. And here is the prophecy from a Gentile, whose prophecy is true: Those that burn books, shall burn men. But be not troubled in the heart of a saint: for He say, who is Christ our Lord: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me” (St. John 14:1). For this we know: “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing” (I Peter 3:12-17). Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) APOLLOS SEPTEMBER 25, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well as a minister and steward of God. May the Almighty God and His beloved Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be liken to Apollos, who knowing the word of God, yet ignorant in the fullness of the Truth, was not offended when corrected in the Scriptures. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: There are many that go about preaching in the name of God, even in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as if they are true ministers and stewards of God, but are not. Not only are they unlearned in the Scriptures though they have studied theology, they steal in the name of the Lord for their own gain. These are the multitudes of wayward pastors who brainwash their congregation and make pray of the feeble minded; taking advantage of the righteous heart but foolish mind to convince them to give their money willingly in the name of tithes and offerings to the pastor, who preaches the love of Christ but whose heart is far from Him. Foolish are those who choose not to pay their bills (debts), so they might give money in the name of a sin offering and love offering to a pastor who wears very expensive clothing and lives in a very expensive house. Foolish are they, of which my own mother is one. But I pity them not, which are the congregation of the dead, because they hear me not. So as He say, I do follow: “My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it” >b>(St. Luke 8:21). Beware I say: for these wayward pastors continue to promote multiple versions of the Holy Bible; of which all are bogus save the Authorized king James Version. But if any be true in their ministry and stewardship of God, let them be as Apollos: for of him it is written: “And a certain Jew named A-pol-los, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aq-ui-la and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly” (Acts 18:24-26). So we learn that Apollos, a minister and steward of God, was knowledgeable in the Scriptures, but was without the fullness of the Truth that is written in the Scriptures. But Aquila, a Jew, and his wife Priscilla (Acts 18:2) who traveled with the apostle Paul (Acts 18:18), knew the Holy Ghost, not by word only, but by the fullness of the Truth and clarified to Apollos (who willingly accepted correction) the knowledge of the Scriptures that he did not know; even the hidden wisdom of God. For when he, Apollos, learned the Scriptures more perfectly, it is written of him: “And when he was disposed to pass into A-cha-ia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ” (Acts 18:27-28). Be therefore not found with pride in your ministry and stewardship, that you deceive yourself, to think you are above that which is written, to be unduly praised. “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another” (I Corinthians 4:1-6). “Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s” (I Corinthians 3:18-23). Now in closing this Sabbath let me say this to the many whose eyes have fallen upon this website with a righteous heart but unlearned mind: “I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building” (I Corinthians 3:2-9). Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) OVERCOME SEPTEMBER 18, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because I have Overcome the wicked one; which is a liar, and pride, and dissension, and deceit, and mischief, and falsehood, and no regard for the life of others, and envy, and jealousy, and selfishness, and greed, and laziness, and abuse, and misuse, and whoredom, and fear other than of God, and violence, and death, and all things against the way of God. May the Almighty God and His beloved Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all Overcome the wicked one, which feeds on the weakness of human flesh, that we might remain in the bondage of sin. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: I Cornelius, the son of Helen, the daughter of Ruth and Earl, from the tribe of Judah, come before you this Sabbath day as one who has suffered many things; from the loneliness of flesh to the challenge of sanity; from speaking and none hearing to hearing and none speaking; from the arrows of disgrace and ruin to the healing from within: yet am I of good cheer through all my tribulations and burdens placed upon me. I have Overcome because He that is in me is greater than He that is in the world: So I trust not in the things that are external, but that which is internal, which be the Spirit that brings me comfort and peace in the time of need. By way of this Spirit, which is the Lord Jesus Christ, do I have patience and strength to Overcome all things that threaten me. But those without are unstable souls taken into the bondage of sin and all things the LORD hate. Be not like them: for they are dead though they breathe and walk; because the Truth that is Life is not in them; so they are given for the second death (Revelation 21:8). These are those that hear us not when we speak the Knowledge of the Truth; neither can they hear us; because their ears are the spirit of error. So know this: “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” (I John 4:4-6). How then can any Overcome without the Spirit of Truth? And how know any Truth when there are many truths? Yea, there are indeed many truths because every religion bears some truth, and there are many religions upon the earth. But here is wisdom: There is only one reality; and reality is this; what was, what is, and what will be; so reality surpasses actuality; because actuality is the past and present; but reality is the past and present and future. Know therefore then, that, reality is God Almighty: so how can any Overcome save those that find their place in God Almighty. And who can find a place in God Almighty but those that Overcome the wicked one by trusting in the word of God; as the martyrs of Jesus overcame. For many believe the baptism by water shall save them: but this we know because it is the word of God: “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire” (St. Matthew 3:11). So what is the baptism by fire? Is it not the patience of saints? For this we know because it is written in the book of Revelation concerning the beast, who is a President that shall rise up in the earth in the last days: “And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:5-8). And this we know because it is written in the book of Revelation concerning the second beast, who is a Pope, who men respectfully call holy father, but is the guide to Death and Hell: “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:11-17). This is the baptism by fire, which days are forty and two months of a Totalitarian State, which no man can Overcome save he that abide in the word of God with the fear of God. For as it is written in the book of Revelation, so shall it be: “And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months” (Revelation 11:1-2). Beloved sheep of the LORD: “I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father” (I John 2:13). Be that the knowledge given and received is not in vain: for this we know: “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them” (II Peter 2:20-21). Yet, many do fall back into the darkness from which they came; fulfilling the proverb, “The dog is turned to his own vomit again” (II Peter 2:22). These are those whom we separate ourselves from; for I have written unto you forewarning. But we who have Overcome the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the fear of the LORD are not entangled again, because we are prepared for that day of Martial Law in America when the titles of President and Pope is manifested as the natural brute beasts they are. And in those days of forty and two months, which is three and a half years, when no man can buy food or water, nor sell anything unless he serve the beast; we will not serve the beast; but have set in store our rations; and receive our need with justification. And when we find ourselves without food and water, we live on faith, to eat and drink from the hidden manna, which the eyes of flesh cannot see. For we Overcome the temptations that are common to man by our faith in the word of God: for what say He who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (St. Luke 12:29-31). Believe therefore without doubt and trust in that which surpasses actuality: for the Lord our God is He that was, is, and is to come. So we have faith in our suffering; because we live for what will be. For if we Overcome, is the reward from God’s word not True? Believe therefore: for is it not written in His Word: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God” (Revelation 2:7). “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death” (Revelation 2:11). “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden man-na, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it” (Revelation 2:17). “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels” (Revelation 3:5). “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name” (Revelation 3:10-12). “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne” (Revelation 3:21). “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son” (Revelation 21:7). And before closing my pen this Sabbath day, let me write this: “Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (St. John 16:32-33). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) TESTIMONY SEPTEMBER 11, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because of the love that is the Almighty God and His beloved Son Christ Jesus. May the Most High God and His only Begotten Son heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all find peace on this day that is remembered for violence. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the seed of the African, and European, and Asian, and Latino, and Indian, and Arab, and Jew: If the innocent is slain willfully, the hand that slew is the work of the devil: so let no man justify the many that were killed on 9/11, because innocent blood was shed on that date. Surely I know the works of this country is evil: but so also are the works of all that shed innocent blood. For a soldier fights his battle against an opposing soldier: but a terrorist fights his battle with a blind eye. And though he claims his fight is in the name of God for righteousness sake, he is led by a blind eye, so how can he see? Thus, is he not among those that are written: “These six things doth the LORD hate; yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren” (Proverbs 6:16-19). So where is a godly man? Is it not he that fear the LORD? “BLESSED is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways” (Psalm 128:1). So if you are a soldier, war not against the innocent: for this is true in any denomination that begin and end with the name of God. Surely there are causalities of war, where the innocent is slain in error: but when the innocent is targeted for the sake of shedding blood, then evil is the hand of that work: how then can you call yourself a man of God and not LIE when the LORD “hate” hands that shed innocent blood? This I know, that, God is a man of war (Exodus 15:3): but let the war be fought among the soldiers of calling who are called for the purpose: for some are called to defend and protect their country with arms, which is a just thing to do: And some are called to the peace of God, which pass all understanding, because they will not riot neither lift a hand against those that persecute them, because they wait patiently on the vengeance that come by the hand of the Lord in the day of His judgment; these are the soldiers of Christ. So beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Every man has his own calling and his own purpose. So a soldier that defends and protects his country with arms is a good man; even if the country is the Great Whore: because in defending and protecting the country, is he not also defending and protecting the innocent that dwell there? So let no manner of soldier be called unjust except for he that willingly shed innocent blood and fight against the hand of the LORD. Dearly beloved: Let my words be few this Sabbath Day: But let your prayers to God for the innocent be many and heard. For this we know: “Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands” (Job 22:27-30). And let me say before I leave you this Sabbath Day, that, if my name be on a work, or if I be the overseer of anything, be it spiritual or carnal; I will not fail; neither in the spiritual eye, nor in the carnal eye; because He that is Holy and True direct my path. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) ESOTERIC (PARABLE) SEPTEMBER 4, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the understanding of the parables, which are Esoteric, because its purpose is for so. For this we know because it is written in the Gospel: “And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them” (St. Mark 4:10-12). So lest, which is to say for fear, at any time they should be converted, and their sins forgiven them, which are those that are cursed to be without the kingdom; our Lord and Savior spoke in parables that though they might see the word, they could not perceive; and though they might hear the word, they could not understand; because the kingdom of God is Esoteric. But there be many that teach and believe our Lord Jesus Christ did not exclude any: But should a man teach anything other than what is written? And should a man believe anything other than what is written? And how can we know anything, unless we know the whole story? And if one should say, the apostle Paul knew in part and prophesied in part, how say you then that we cannot know anything unless we know the whole story? I say unto that man and all who agree: Herein is another example of one speaking without the whole story and understanding: for Paul wrote, “For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away” (I Corinthians 13:9-10). Has perfect not come, which is the unction from the Holy One to know all things, which the writer of the Lamb’s book of life is? Is my testimony not perfect, because it is the testimony of Jesus Christ? And what say the testimony from Jesus Christ in a parable: “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (St. Matthew 25:41). So how say any that Christ included all who called on His name, and be not in error? For did He not say in the same Gospel: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (St. Matthew 7:21-23). May the Almighty God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the parables to us be seen and perceived; heard and understood; because we are among the Esoteric. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the Faithful and True: Many there are that question why my sermons are deep and hard to understand. But if any are among the Esoteric, they shall read the sermons in patience and ask questions if necessary for understanding: for none are left without except those that choose to be without. And let there be no misunderstanding: for I am sent each Sabbath day, from and to, the house of Israel. And as it is written in the book of the prophet Ezekiel: “AND the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel” (Ezekiel 17:1-2); so have I from the beginning. “Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty” (St. Matthew 13:18-23). So beginning with the house of Israel do I sow the seed, which is the word of God, that those by the way side, which are the unlearned (both Jews and Gentiles) along the road to Life I walk, might hear and understand to seal it in their hearts before the Devil come and take away the word from out of their hearts with his Wayward Pastors and Fear of the Unknown. But though we try, because of the compassion of our nature, to save those which cannot be saved, we know wisdom must overshadow love and the word of God cannot be changed: for what say the Word: “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience” (St. Luke 8:11-15). Amen. Indeed before and around me, along the road of my travel, are thieves and robbers not only of materialistic things, but the word of God also, that they might sneak into the door of the sheepfold as wolves in sheep clothing to capture the treasure of God, which are His saints. But if the door is Jesus Christ, how can they enter, that they might lead the sheep away? For this we know, though they have entered by reason of grace, the sheep will not be led away because the sheep of Christ follow only the Voice of Truth, which is every word of the Holy Scriptures (Authorized king James Version); knowing the New Testament is greater than the Old and every word that came directly from out of the mouth of Jesus Christ Himself greater than all that is written. Surely the stranger that speaks with this Voice is not a stranger to the sheepfold, but a brethren and fellow servant of Christ. And if one should say, If Christ is the door, how can a robber or thief enter? I say this: By the grace of Christ even a thief and a robber can find a way to sneak in, that the Scripture is fulfilled, “And all flesh shall see the salvation of God” (St. Luke 3:6). And this we know: If you are hot, you will enter into the fullness of the Truth because you are on the good ground: and if you are cold, you have set yourself far apart from the knowledge of the Truth, and the cares and pleasures of this world will choke you because you are among thorns: and if you are lukewarm, you will seek the knowledge of the Truth with a sincere heart; but, because, you have no root, you will fall into the way side because of the doubtful mind. Let one understand therefore why He who is Christ our Lord so said in the book of Revelation, which are the last days of this world at hand: “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:15-16). So though you might enter the body of Christ because of His grace, you will be vomited out because of His truth. So beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the seed of the African, and European, and Asian, and Latino, and Indian, and Arab, and Jew: let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. John 10:1-18: and let us Read and Hear another parable of many that is spoken for the Esoteric: “VERILY, Verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father”. And let the people say, Amen. Hear this therefore: ”Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have” (St. Luke 8:18). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) PARENTS AUGUST 28, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well among the Parents whose crop is the Lord’s, which harvest are the good children, whose Father art in heaven. May our Father which art in Heaven and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be found as worthy Parents of the Lord’s crop. Dear people of the earth: Here is wisdom: It is knowledge and fear that makes men silent; and it is in silence that we obtain knowledge and wisdom from counsel. So let me say this parable as it is written, because the Scriptures pertain to my life at hand: “When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem. I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out. And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth. Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand. My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch. My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel. After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them. And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain. If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down. I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners” (Job 29:11-25). And here is understanding of that parable for those who seek understanding: The ear that heard me and blessed me is the avid readers of the Sermons: and the eye that saw me and gave witness to me comes from those that give testimony of my spirit on the message board of this website (though they have not seen me with the eyes of flesh, yet have they gave witness to me, because the sound of my words give sight of my Spirit): and the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him; I delivered them with hope and inspiration: and the joy I gave to the widow’s heart (beginning with the widow Maxima Flores) is the love and knowledge of God: and the eyes and feet I was to the blind and lame is the knowledge of the truth that is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: and the cause which I knew not (which began in the Gentile time of 1979), I searched out in the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures: and with the Voice of Truth I broke the jaws of the wicked and plucked the spoil out of his teeth, because the Truth sets you free: and my root is spread out by the waters because the Spirit of my Testimony has covered the seven seas: and my glory is fresh in me because it is renewed with each Sermon that I write: and unto me do men give an ear, and wait, and keep silence at my counsel because my counsel is the LORD, which heals and comforts. So let this good seed be sowed upon the field, which is the world, that we might bring forth children of the Highest: for this we know because our Lord and Savior so said it: “He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world” (St. Matthew 13:37-40). So we, beloved brothers and sisters of mine who are keepers of the Lord’s crop, have a duty to raise our children in the way of the Lord, that they become not as the tares sowed by the devil, which are the children of disobedience who are led by foolishness. This duty we fulfill with discipline from infancy: for is it not written in the book of wisdom: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him” (Proverbs 22:15). And is it not written: “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes” (Proverbs 13:24). And is it not written: “Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge. Withold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell” (Proverbs 23:12-14). So who are the parents that say, I do not believe in beating my child with a rod or any manner. Have they not forsaken the instruction of God, even the knowledge of God, to believe they have a greater knowledge? Surely Satan, who is the Governor of this earth, has influenced the minds of many with a vain philosophy and this thing called child psychology; even changed the laws to make the rod of correction on your child a crime, so wild ass children can multiply on the earth. But, because, God and the Lord Jesus Christ are our Parents, this we know; that all things are learned beginning and ending with every word of the Holy Bible (Authorized king James Version). So as our parents from the ancient of days has chastised us and corrected us, because the Lord our God chastised them and corrected them; because whom the LORD loves the LORD correct; we chastise and correct our children from the ways of unrighteousness, which is the influence of disobedient children, that our children become not cursed with the reprobate mind as it is written: “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful” (Romans 1:28-31). So we who are Parents in the Lord discipline our children, that none might become as the reprobate mind. But as with all things, there is a positive and negative side to discipline; so be not among those who misuse and abuse the rod of correction: for this is done out of uncontrollable anger, and frustration, and stress, and drunkenness, even confusion. Therefore let us pray always in the Truth of the LORD, that we be not found committing unrighteous acts in the name of the LORD. But let us keep discipline within ourselves and our children: for this we know: “The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame” (Proverbs 29:15). This we see daily by the multitudes of children on the earth who are allowed to grow without proper discipline, to disrespect their parents and the elderly, even their peers. Uncontrollable children that is uncontrollable because foolishness as little children was not driven away from them with the rod of correction. But we are not like those parents whose children have brought them to shame, because this we know and follow: “Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying” (Proverbs 19:18). For understanding is learned from correction: so can a child without understanding see his foolishness? Hence, we know why it is written: “In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding” (Proverbs 10:13). Surely it is foolishness for boys to walk the streets with their pants hanging down as if it is a “stylish thing to do”: yet they cannot see how foolish they are because the understanding is not in them. So they follow the trend led by a fool, which path leads to the reprobate mind, which are tares sowed by the devil. But if one can hear let him hear: “Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous” (I John 3:7). And if one can hear let him hear: “Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord” (Colossians 3:20). And if one can hear let him hear: “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:1-4). And let the people say, Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) SEARCH AUGUST 21. 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well in the Search of all things that are done under heaven, which gives me knowledge of the things that are done in heaven, which on earth are the unsearchable riches of Christ. May the Almighty God and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all Search for knowledge and wisdom from the source that created all things. For this I know and share for those who Search: “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 3:8-9). Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: It is written, “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter” (Proverbs 25:2). Why is it the glory of God to conceal a thing that it be hidden? Why does the LORD have secrets? For what purpose is there a mystery of God? Let us, as kings among God’s servants, Search out the matter that we might receive honor as it is written. For this we know by reason of our Search for knowledge and wisdom: “Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom” (Psalm 51:6); because the hidden wisdom is ordained by God (I Corinthians 2:7); therefore this wisdom is esoteric; such is why Jesus spoke in parables (St. Mark 4:10-12); even as it is written: “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world” (St. Matthew 13:34-35) . So in our Search we find this: “The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant” (Psalm 25:14); because they are His saints: moreover is it not written, “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). For this we know, “The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law” (Deuteronomy 29:29): because this we know: “For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous” (Proverbs 3:32): so it is by the knowledge of the righteous that we learn why the LORD has secrets; the same why the end justifies the means if the end is righteous. And this we know by reason of our Search: “For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at La-od-i-ce-a, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:1-3). So dear brothers and sisters of mine: The Search for knowledge and wisdom begins in our own heart, to seek the truth of God, which is found in Christ Jesus. For this we know because Christ said it: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (St. John 5:39-40). So think not that you have understanding of the Scriptures without thoroughly searching all of the Scriptures; because you do not. For many go about boasting, I am saved, and praise the Lord; even reciting Scripture after Scripture from memory. These think they have eternal life, but do not, because without the truth the spirit is dead. Such is why He said, who is Christ our Lord: “Ye hypocrites, well did E-sa-ias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” (St. Matthew 15:7-9). That is why we are sent as prophets and stewards of God, that we might reveal the hidden and secret things of God, even the mystery of God, that good men and women might see the Light through the thick dark clouds of this world that eclipse the Truth to keep many in the Congregation of the Dead. But our God has set in His mind to deliver us from all darkness, and all manner of ignorance, that we no longer be counted among the unlearned, because we say in the sincerity of truth: “I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness” (Ecclesiastes 7:25). For if I learn not also the things which destroy me, how shall I prevent them from overtaking me? For he that has set himself against God has laid for us snares and nets for-fear (lest) we learn the knowledge of the truth from the Book of Truth (Holy Bible), even the Lamb’s book of life which was sealed, but is now opened because of my testimony: for the Wicked One know that though he has captured many, the truth shall set them free. And if the people are set free, then they have salvation by repentance, and the kingdom of Satan which is the law of sin and death shall be taken from the earth. So Satan has set himself in a high place, appearing as God, that he might lead herds of male sheep away with a seductive female; and herds of female sheep away with a seductive male. These things are done to keep the lost sheep from finding their way back to the Shepherd whom they strayed from during the dark and cloudy day that led many astray with the voice of a loving tongue but wicked heart that indoctrinated generations with Christianity, and Judaism, and Islam as men know it, and all manner of false beliefs. But here is wisdom: “And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her” (Ecclesiastes 7:26). Be that you be found in God’s Search of the reins and hearts, one that please Him. But how can you please God without service? And what is service to God? If we Search do we not find it written: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:1-2). But how can one prove that which they do not know? And who can know unless they have learned? And how can they learn without Searching? If anything be learned from this sermon, let it be that without effort, which is to apply your heart with understanding, you will not Search out a matter. Thus, you shall remain among the unlearned: of whom some are unlearned out of foolishness; and others out of fear of the unknown. But here is wisdom from the Old Testament for the heart that seek it, and the mind that can find it: “And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid” (Isaiah 29:11-14). Is this work I do in the LORD not marvelous and a wonder? Is it not a wonder to write unto you each Sabbath a greater knowledge? Is it not marvelous to make those with eyes see that which they could not? Surely there is nothing new under the sun: for as the Preacher so wrote: “That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past” (Ecclesiastes 3:15); so be it. This we have found to be true when we Search the Scriptures, even the pages of history books; that the past is the present and the future the past. Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD AUGUST 14, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well though the Congregation of the Dead (who are in graves, but know it not, because they walk and talk in the illusion of life) speaks grievous things against me, proudly and contemptuously; even scorn me in silence. For I am not ashamed of this gospel, neither discouraged when they ignore my voice; because the only Wise God our Savior is the Truth of my knowledge. May the Most High and Almighty God, even our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may none of you be found among the Congregation of the Dead, whose life in flesh is an illusion, and whose end is the depths of hell. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine from the Faithful and True: This we know: “The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD” (Psalm 115:17-18). Yea, even those words do the Congregation of the Dead speak; many believing they love the LORD, and praise the LORD, but are worshipping God in a vain doctrine. But when I rebuke them, either to their face or by word, they hear me not, saying in their heart that God knows their heart: not knowing that their heart is blind because their understanding is darkened by the indoctrination of generations, which indoctrination is from those that changed the truth of God into a lie. Surely if any be true in their heart for Christ, then the written word of God would guide them over the interpretation from a man. Surely I seek to interpret nothing for you, but to reveal the written word of God, even the hidden wisdom, which God has ordained. So if any understand not my words, how then can they understand the words of the prophets and apostles, even our Lord Jesus Christ? For if I say, We are perfect; have I spoken a lie, because men say none are perfect? But our wisdom is not of man, but the written word, which is the power of God. For he write, who is the apostle Paul: “That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” (I Corinthians 2:5-8). So I speak wisdom among them that are perfect, because we who stand as the Church of God and Saints of Christ are perfect: for is it not written: “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” (Philippians 3:14-15). Therefore I say this: Use the same diligence towards that which you know not as you do towards that which you believe: for the education from the Lord is the known coming into the unknown. So who is perfect but he that is humble to accept correction, that he correct his mistake not to repeat it. For He say, who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (St. Matthew 5:48). Why would our Lord command us to be perfect, if we cannot be? Surely it is not the word, but the understanding of the word that bring men to Life. For this we know: “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead” (Proverbs 21:16). Therefore, let us know why it is written: “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5): for your own understanding is to wander out of the way of understanding: because anything of “your own” is not belonging to Christ. For this we know: “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (I Corinthians 6:19-20). “Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men” (I Corinthians 7:23). So we speak not of our own understanding, but with the understanding of the LORD, which is the written word of the LORD, which word we know is true because it comes from the only Holy Bible: “How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth. Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate the false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:103-105). “A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain un-to wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings” (Proverbs 1:5-6). And if one should say, What meaneth dark sayings? I say, We who are among the wise counsels interpret not with our own words, but with the written word of God, saying as it is written in Holy Scripture: “GIVE ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us” (Psalm 78:1-3). So who is he that brings the New Testament without the Old? Is he not a deceiver; even a manipulator of words? This is he that is a bishop and deacon in the Congregation of the Dead, which is a congregation indoctrinated from generations of stupidity and foolishness; reciting from the Bible that which is not written; and believing that which is incomplete. For they recite St. Matthew 6:12, saying, “And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us”; when it is written, “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors”. And they believe Christ said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged” (St. Matthew 7:1); but know not that He said also, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (St. John 7:24). These are them that honor the Ten Commandments but honor not Jesus Christ; and honor Jesus Christ but pollute the Ten Commandments, saying, we need not believe the writings of Moses but the words of Jesus Christ; for we are not under the law but under grace. Have they not wandered out of the way of understanding? Surely we are under grace, which is the forgiveness of sins to the law (the commandments of God): for without grace the law is death for sin; because the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). So this we know because we have the Lord’s understanding: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). So with that knowledge they puff themselves up and confidently say, That is why we need not the writings of Moses, but only the words of the New Testament. This is said that they may keep their “own” traditions, which are traditions not taught by Christ. So have they not wandered out of the way of understanding? For is it not written from the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ Himself: “For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?” (St. John 5:46-47). Hear therefore the written word of God, not from a bogus version of the Holy Bible, but the Authorized king James Version, which is the only true version of the Holy Scriptures before the eyes of men. Amen. Dearly beloved: Fall not among the walking dead, of whom when the word is sown they hear, but Satan come immediately and take away the word that was sown in their hearts, because Satan has power over them; because though they have good hearts, they are unlearned and fear the unknown; so they find comfort in the teachings that are common to men, which is forever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth that is Jesus Christ. But: “When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead” (Proverbs 2:10-18). So here is knowledge and wisdom and understanding: “A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, To call passengers who go right on their ways: Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell” (Proverbs 9:13-18). Be not found therefore among the simple-minded: for how can they obtain the mysteries of God that lead to Life when they fear the unknown? For this we know because it is written: “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God” (I Corinthians 4:1). For did He not say, who is Christ our Lord and Savior: “Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them” (St. Mark 4:11-12). What then is the interpretation of those words from Christ Himself? Is it not the unknown made known: even the unknown that shall remain unknown to some? So how can we receive the mysteries of the kingdom of God if we fear the unknown? Let us fear not the knowledge that is new, yet old, but is new, because it was hidden by the clouds of this world that eclipse the truth of God; that many might remain among the Congregation of the Dead, and be led into the Congregation of the Dead. Now this we know, though we walk and talk as normal men and women, we are dead without the baptism of the Spirit which is Truth: so we receive the Truth of Christ, which has made us alive from the dead, that our death in flesh become an illusion to us, because we have eternal life. So: “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God” (Romans 6:11-13). “For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living” (Romans 14:8-9). So is Christ not both Lord of the dead and living? Yea for sure: for what say He in the book of Revelation: “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, A-men; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18). So here is the patience of saints: and here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus (Revelation 14:12): for blessed are the dead which die in the Lord (Revelation 14:13). Amen. POST ON MESSAGE BOARD(RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) RESPECT of PERSONS AUGUST 7, 2010 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee? I am well because I have no respect of persons in judgment, which is to say that I have no respect of titles and social status: for the measure of a man is his spirit and truth, which is his faith and works. May the Lord God of Israel and His only begotten Son Christ Jesus heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may none of us be found with respect of persons. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine throughout the earth: It is written, “Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear” (Deuteronomy 1:17). So we O saints of Christ were called to be judges in the ancient of days, because we are saints from the ancient of days, preserved as it is written: “For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever…” (Psalm 37:28). So let none think a saint is in heaven only: for is it not written, “But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight” (Psalm 16:3). So we are saints because our fathers are saints, whose souls are preserved for us to bring forth again in flesh through the womb, which we do by the grace that is Jesus Christ. So are we not judges still; even as in the days of the Old Testament? For verily it is written in the New Testament: “DARE any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church” (I Corinthians 6:1-4). Moreover He say, who is Christ our Lord, the sum of this Sermon: “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (St. John 7:24). So as our fathers were set in the cities of Old to judge the society of God’s kingdom on earth with righteous judgment as it is written in the Book of Records: “And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city, And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment. Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts” (II Chronicles 19:5-7): this we know: “These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment” (Proverbs 24:23). For if one should have respect of persons, he will have bias towards the rich man over the poor man, and towards the educated man over the uneducated man, and towards the great man over the small man; of which all is unrighteous, because it is prejudice. Indeed a judge that is so is vulnerable to bribes and will take gifts; even for a piece of bread will he transgress. For this we know: “To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress” (Proverbs 28:21). So in our judgment, we judge our brother equally with a neighbor, and our neighbor equally with a stranger, and a Jew equally with a Gentile: for there is no respect of persons with God. And has that teaching from the Old Testament changed with the New? God forbid. For is it not written in the New Testament: “But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God” (Romans 2:8-11). So think not that the Lord has respect for a denomination: for whether you be Jew or Gentile; if your works are evil, tribulation and anguish upon the Jew first, and then the Gentile.

Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? If ye fulfill the royal law accor
