: taken from the weekly sermon: www.aboutthelambsbookoflife.net : ENLIGHTEN : MARCH 9, 2002 : 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 enlightenment of our Lord Jesus Christ. May his love heal and comfort the sick and shut-in. And may the Spirit of his grace be forever upon us. : To all who enter the Church of God: I pray you know in your heart that these writings are not my mine own: for I am but a mere tool used by the hand of God to bring forth the understanding of His holy word. For I alone cannot bear the fruit of God’s wisdom; thus my knowledge is not my own; but is given unto me from the only one that can give such wisdom to men, which is the mind of our Lord Jesus Christ. : To the congregation in the tabernacles built by the prophet Crowdy: I have not come to convince you of my calling; neither any that be on the earth: but to preach according to that which has been given to me. And if a man should believe I speak a lie, or with confusion, or in a delusion; so be it that he believe such. For the gospel of Christ is the truth: and if any man be offended by the truth, then the truth is not in him. If I speak against the truth, let it be known by Scripture, and not by man’s opinion. For certainly, there is no opinion to the truth, which spiritually is the testimony of Jesus Christ. : I Cornelius, am not called to ignore the knowledge of the truth because men disagree; nor am I risen from sin to fall back into the filth from which I came. I am not cleansed to become filthy, nor ordained to become unworthy. So I say this; and I pray you hear and understand: It is written: “For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame” (Hebrews 6:4-6). Thus, if any has partaken of this heavenly calling, which come from the Spirit of Truth, then turn back from the way, they cannot find repentance. Know therefore that the detractors that enter this website are of the many that go into the way of destruction, that they might lead you into the way of destruction. I pray you be not led away by words that speak great things against my testimony, but have no Scriptures to support their words. Thus, they speak just to speak because their spirit is the spirit of detractor and a fool. They are sent for a purpose; that some might be led away, that none be found among us in doubt. For as it is written: “But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God” (St. Luke 9:27); so shall it be. For have you not witnessed how many have fallen already? : My brothers and sisters: I pray you take all things of God seriously: being of sound mind: and an understanding heart. For the Lamb’s book of life has been opened: and the first two seals has been loosen in the first year: what things then cometh in the second year? : Apostles of mine: Our authority, which is given from the Lord, is not given for the destruction of men, but for the edification of men. We are not sent to cast men into darkness, but to bring them into the light. But in knowing the wisdom of the resurrection, we know that we cannot save every man. So we speak in the knowledge of the truth, that all men might see that Christ is manifested in us. For we are summoned in Christ love to show his love, and give love, even unto our enemy. Let those who love Christ, show their love for Christ, by the only way they are able, which is by keeping his commandments (St. John 14:15). O how so many say that they love the Lord Jesus, yet, know him not. For if men knew the Lord Jesus, then they would know that he has sent me. Even those that sit in the tabernacles of the prophet Crowdy, who call on the name of Christ: can they know Christ without hearing me? Their voices say unto me, that I am a “lost soul”. Do they not know that they call Christ a lost soul? Let no man be mistaken: for I am not Christ: but we who are true in the Church of God have the mind of Christ; so are we not like Christ? : Men hate me without a cause. Yet, in their mind, their hate is justified. What have I done to be hated by a true worshipper? Have I not uncovered the lies of men? Have I not restored the name of Prophet William Saunders Crowdy? Have I not done more in one year than the tabernacles of men have done in a hundred years? If you look to the ion of buildings as work for the Lord, then your labor is in vain. For the work of God is saving souls through the knowledge of the truth. I say unto those in the tabernacles of the prophet Crowdy, who speak out against my testimony: What have you done to make yourselves known to the world? What excuse can you have for not hearing the word, when I am risen from among you? How ignorant do you make yourself by opposing yourself? I thank God that all in your place are not of your ilk. For as I am risen out from among you, so shall I rise out the worthy from within you. For you have chosen to see a sign for the eyes of flesh to believe; so you have chosen the flesh over spirit. What worth are you then to the Almighty God, as a servant of flesh? I pray before the ears of the Most High God, that you be enlighten from the darkness that has covered your minds. For what are the eyes of a man that cannot see the light from the obvious, but the eyes of darkness. What then can Christ do for him if the hour be the resurrection? So in the regeneration at hand: let us witness the life of Jesus without the miracles of flesh. How many would have accepted him then, if he came without the miracles of flesh? Surely he came with such miracles that the ignorance of men might believe; yet, they believed not. So be it then: for the word alone is the test of faith. : My brethren: Think not that sadness is not in my heart for the children of Israel. But I change not for them; neither shall I stop my judgment for their sake. For I am not sent to be popular: for such would be a contradiction to the testimony of Jesus Christ (St. Matthew 7:13-14). I come knowing that men shall laugh at me, and scorn me, and ignore me, and deny me. So the things that are before me do not discourage me, but uplift me, even in my sadness, because I bear witness to the fulfilling of prophecy. I thank God for the ridicule from men: because in their ridicule I see Christ in me. : Beloved saints of Christ: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. John 14:10-21: and let us Read and Hear the words of our Lord Jesus Christ: “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. : Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. : If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. And that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him”. : To the new ears that have entered the Church of God: Do you love Jesus? If so, then keep his commandments, even his sayings. And open up your Holy Bible, and Read and Hear the sayings of St. John 14:22-31: “Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. : Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to p, that, when it is come to p, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me a commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence”. : I say unto you all: What do Christianity have in Christ other than to use his name in vain? Christ did not give us Christmas, neither Easter, nor Sunday as the Sabbath. The Last Supper as men call it, is the Pover feast. But they keep it not; yet say they love Christ, and call themselves Christians. If you are a follower of Christ, be a follower of Christ; and adhere to the things of Christ, which are his commandments, even his sayings. Jesus said, “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me” (St. John 14:30). Who then is the prince of this world, but the overseer of Christianity, which has nothing in Christ. For spirit without truth is indeed nothing. : Now I know I have angered many again; but I speak not for their comfort; but for the Spirit of Truth, that the souls with a chance to be saved might be enlighten. I cannot change the resurrection, so I seek to convince no man. For he that is true in Christ, see Christ in me, as I see Christ in him. Men speak great things against our testimony, yet, they cannot show Scriptures to dispute our words. So they say we have interpreted the Scriptures wrong: but we speak in the spirit of prophecy. And what say the Scriptures: “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation” (II Peter 1:20). Does that Scripture not say it all concerning interpreting the Scriptures? If there is no private interpretation, how can a man say we have misinterpreted? How many fools are there in the world? Let us stop our count on infinity. : My brethren: This thing I say, and the thing is certain: There can be found no fools among us, neither any of doubt. For the twelve apostles of the regeneration come not with the doubt of Thomas, nor the denial of Peter, but in the faith of Jesus Christ. These are blessed and holy men: redeemed from the ashes of sin and purified in the knowledge of the truth: that God be glorified by sinners called to repentance. For all save Christ are called from out of sin: and even Christ, who knew no sin, became sin for us, that we be made the righteousness of God in him (II Corinthians 5:21). Even as he knew no sin, but was made sin for us: he was rich, but made himself poor for our sake, that we through his poverty become rich (II Corinthians 8:9). Has not the Lord Jesus Christ showed us his love, and given us his grace? Is it not a small thing to show our love for him, by keeping his commandments, even his sayings? Let every man stop for a moment, and clear his mind of all that he has been taught, that he become a little child, to begin his understanding of the Scriptures without influence. For the road of many is to destruction: so I pray you stop, and clear your mind of the things you have been taught, and start from the beginning. Knowing that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. The questions are: What is the way, and the truth, and the life? Is it not the commandments of Jesus Christ, even his sayings? If so, come out from the darkness and be enlighten. For the testimony we give is according to every word of the Holy Bible; chiefly the words directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ himself. But should we be surprised, that even by our baptism, which come from heaven, that men will not hear? Surprise we are not: and shame we are without. But the hour come, and now is, the Spirit of Truth. : Peace be unto you. Amen.
