IN THE ANOINTING I HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD AND SHARED WITH MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS A KNOWING
"Pasatama Umani Satos Horokut Ani Poromo Pasatama Poromo Aia Satos Poromo Aia Parama Aia Satos Hakata Aia Sako Aia Satos Mekivili Farami Mekivili Ananima Pasatama Aia Mekivili Asamamat Aia Satos Pasatama Aia Satos Korut Mamira Korut Asanama Aia Aia Satos Fumumonoma Umani Satos Umani Satos Mekivili Koromu Mekivili Omut Aia Maninam Aia Akatama Umani Satos Masama Akaramandi Satos Mamira Satos Asanama"
AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT GOD CREATED TWO BROTHERS, GOD NAMED THEM "MUTIYA" AND "ALAS". ON THE FIRST DAY GOD TAUGHT THE BROTHERS ALL DIVINE AND EARTHLY LAWS. IN THE ANOINTING, THEY KNEW TO OBEY ALL OF THE LAWS. ON THE SECOND DAY, THE ANOINTED BROTHERS KNEW TO PREPARE FOR THE DAY OF HARVEST. IT WAS ON THIS DAY THAT THE BROTHERS CHOSE THEIR EARTHLY RESPONSIBILITIES, MUTIYA DECIDED TO BECOME A SHEPHERD AND ALAS CHOSE TO BECOME A FARMER. ON THE DAY OF THE HARVEST, GOD REVEALED HIMSELF TO ALAS AND MUTIYA, IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT THAT EACH OF THEM GAVE GOD THEIR OFFERING, MUTIYA GAVE GOD HIS FIRST BORN SHEEP, ALAS DECIDED TO GIVE GOD THE BIGGEST VEGETABLES AND FRUITS OF HIS CROP. GOD WAS PLEASED WITH MUTIYA'S OFFERING, BUT UPSET WITH THE OFFERING THAT HAD BEEN GIVEN TO HIM BY ALAS. ALAS ASKED GOD: "WHY ARE YOU NOT PLEASED WITH MY OFFERING, I HAVE CHOSEN THE BEST PICKS FROM MY CROP TO GIVE TO YOU", GOD ANSWERED ALAS BY SAYING: "I HAVE INSTRUCTED BOTH YOU AND YOUR BROTHER AS TO WHAT KIND OF OFFERING IS EXPECTED OF YOU, BUT ONLY ONE OF YOU HAVE DONE AS I HAVE INSTRUCTED." THIS REPLY ANGERED ALAS AND IN HIS HEART HE ALLOWED ANGER AND JEALOUSY TO DWELL TOWARDS HIS BROTHER MUTIYA, GOD TOLD BOTH BROTHERS THAT HE WOULD REVEAL HIMSELF TO THEM ONCE MORE ON THE DAY OF THE NEXT HARVEST. ON THE THIRD DAY, MUTIYA BEGAN TO CARE ONCE MORE AFTER HIS FLOCKS WHILE ALAS BEGAN TO PREPARE THE GROUND FOR THE NEXT HARVEST. MUTIYA NOTICED THAT ONE OF HIS SHEEP WAS PREGNANT, FILLED WITH JOY, MUTIYA TOOK THE PREGNANT SHEEP AND WENT TO HIS BROTHER ALAS AND SAID: "ALAS, I WILL GIVE AS MY OFFERING TO GOD, THIS SEASON'S FIRST BORN SHEEP, ON THE DAY OF THE HARVEST", THAT NIGHT CONSUMED WITH ANGER AND JEALOUSY ALAS LIED TO HIS BROTHER MUTIYA AND TOLD HIM THAT THE PREGNANT SHEEP HAD GOTTEN SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE FLOCK AND WONDERED ONTO HIS FIELD, IMMEDIATELY MUTIYA WENT TO FIND HIS LOST SHEEP. NOW MUTIYA FOUND HIMSELF ON HIS BROTHERS FIELD SEARCHING FOR HIS LOST SHEEP, BUT HIS SHEEP WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND, AS HE WAS LEAVING HIS BROTHERS FIELD, MUTIYA SAW ALAS AND ASKED ALAS: "ALAS, WHERE ON YOUR FIELD DID YOU SEE THE LOST SHEEP? ALAS DID NOT REPLY AND CONSUMED WITH ANGER, HATRED AND JEALOUSY MURDERED HIS BROTHER MUTIYA. ON THE DAY OF THE SECOND HARVEST, ALAS BROUGHT TO GOD, MUTIYA'S NEW SHEEP AND GAVE IT TO GOD AS HIS OWN OFFERING, WHEN GOD REVEALED HIMSELF BEFORE ALAS, GOD SAID TO ALAS: "WHERE IS MUTIYA YOUR BROTHER? AND WHERE IS MUTIYA'S OFFERING?" ALAS REPLIED TO GOD BY SAYING "I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MY BROTHER OR FOR HIS OFFERING" ANGERED BY ALAS, GOD SAID TO HIM: "YOU HAVE DISOBEYED ME AND MY LAWS, CAN YOU HEAR AS I CAN? LISTEN! YOUR BROTHER'S BLOOD CRIES OUT TO ME FROM THE GROUND. KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOW CURSED (MARKED) AND NO LONGER ALLOWED ON MY FIELD. KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MADE YOUR FIELD UNHOLY (CORRUPTED) WITH YOUR ACTIONS AND DISOBEDIENCE. KNOW THAT FROM THIS DAY ON WHEN YOU WORK THE GROUND, IT WILL NO LONGER YIELD ITS CROPS TO YOU. YOU HAVE BECOME (TRANSFORMED INTO) A RESTLESS WANDERER." ALAS SAID TO GOD, "FATHER MY PUNISHMENT IS MORE THAN I CAN BEAR. TODAY YOU ARE DRIVING ME FROM YOUR FIELD, AND NO LONGER WILL I SEE YOU, I WILL BE A RESTLESS WANDERER ON THE EARTH, AND WHOEVER FINDS ME WILL KILL ME." BUT GOD SAID TO HIM, "I WILL WRITE AND DECLARE INTO LAW, THAT ALL WHO KNOW OBEY ME, THEY WILL KNOW NOT TO KILL YOU, FOR IF ANYONE KILLS YOU HE/SHE/THEY WILL SUFFER VENGEANCE MANY TIMES OVER." THEN GOD PUT A MARK ON ALAS SO THAT NO ONE WHO FOUND HIM WOULD KILL HIM. ALAS LEFT THE HOLY FIELD AND SETTLED IN A DESERT ON EARTH.
AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT THEIR WAS ONCE TWO SISTERS WHO OWNED A GARDEN IN THE DESERT, THE OLDEST WAS NAMED UNEMA AND THE YOUNGEST INBREA, ONE DAY INBREA WAS TENDING TO THE FAMILIES GARDEN WHILE UNEMA TOOK CARE OF THE MEMBERS OF HER HOUSEHOLD, THE TWO SISTERS WERE SOUGHT AFTER BY THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND FOR THE FRUITS OF THEIR MOST PRICED TREE WHICH BECAME KNOWN AS THE AVOCADO TREE, ON THIS DAY, WHILE INBREA WAS TENDING TO THE AVOCADO TREE SHE NOTICED THAT ON THE TREE WAS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE FRUIT SHE HAD EVER SEEN AND SO SHE TOOK THE FRUIT FOR HERSELF, THAT NIGHT SHE ATE THE FRUIT AND IMMEDIATELY BECAME SEVERELY SICK, SHE CURSED THE TREE FOR PRODUCING SUCH AN EVIL FRUIT, IN THE MIDST OF HER SUFFERING SHE WENT TO THE GARDEN AND SAID TO THE TREE, " YOU HAVE CURSED ME WITH THIS ILLNESS AND HAVE MADE ME SEVERELY SICK, AS YOU HAVE DONE TO ME I WILL DO TO YOU, SO THAT NOT ANOTHER MAY SUFFER LIKE ME AND CURSE OUR GARDEN" SO INBREA CUT THE TREE DOWN, EXHAUSTED SHE WENT HOME AND FELL ASLEEP, THAT NIGHT AN ANGEL OF GOD CAME TO HER IN A DREAM AND SAID "INBREA, WHY HAVE YOU DESTROY THE TREE GOD LEFT IN YOUR CARE, EVERYONE IN THE LAND WILL CURSE YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, BECAUSE OUR CREATOR HAS WITNESSED YOUR SUFFERING HE WILL GIVE YOU A NEW TREE, WHEN YOU RISE FROM THIS DREAM, GO TO THE GARDEN AND CARE FOR THE NEW TREE." THE NEXT DAY WHEN INBREA BECAME CONSCIOUS, SHE WAS OVERWHELMED WITH FEAR, KNOWING THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND WOULD CURSE HER FOR WHAT SHE DID TO THE TREE, SHE HURRIED TO THE GARDEN READY TO CARE FOR THE TREE BUT INSTEAD FOUND JUST THE SEED OF ONE OF ITS FRUITS, IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT THAT SHE CRIED OUT TO THE LORD AND SAID: "WHERE IS THE TREE YOU PROMISED, I WOULD FIND IN THE GARDEN? ALL I HAVE FOUND IS THIS SINGLE SEED?" IT WAS AT THIS VERY MOMENT THAT OUR CREATOR REVEALED HIMSELF TO INBREA AND SAID: "AS SURELY AS I AM YOUR CREATOR, SO IS THAT SEED, THE FRUITFUL TREE, I HAVE PROMISED YOU". IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT THAT INBREA FELL ON HER KNEES AND KNEW AS OUR CREATOR DID.
AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT A KING HAD A GREAT FIELD FULL OF BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS OF EVERY KIND, MANY CAME TO HIS FIELD TO GAZE AT THE BEAUTY OF HIS FIELD, ONE DAY THE KINGS SON WENT INTO HIS FATHERS FIELD AND BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTY OF THE FLOWERS, HE GOT DISTRACTED AND GOT LOST, SEVERAL DAYS AND NIGHTS WENT BY AND THE PRINCE BECAME PAINFULLY THIRSTY AND HUNGRY, HE PRINCE REALIZED THAT NOWHERE IN THE FIELD COULD HE FIND A TEE TO QUENCH HIS THIRST OR HUNGER, THE PRINCE CALLED OUT TO THE FOUR WINDS IN THE HOPES THAT HE WOULD BE RESCUED AND AT THAT VERY MOMENT THE KINGS SERVANTS FOUND THE PRINCE AND BROUGHT HIM BACK TO HIS FATHER, THE KING FILLED WITH JOY ORDERED HIS SERVANTS TO PLANT A FRUIT TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS FIELD CAPABLE OF SUSTAINING THE LIFE OF ANYONE THAT SHOULD EVER GET LOST ON HIS FIELD, FOR THREE SEASONS THE KING WENT TO THE CENTER OF HIS FIELD IN SEARCH OF FRUIT FROM THE TREE HE ORDERED TO BE PLANTED AND EACH TIME HE FOUND NONE GROWING FROM IT, THE KING SAID TO HIS SERVANTS "I HAVE COME THREE TIMES IN SEARCH FOR FRUIT AND HAVE FOUND NONE GROWING FROM THIS TREE, WHY SHOULD IT CONTINUE TO EXHAUST THE SOIL?, CUT IT DOWN.", THE KINGS SON WHO WAS WITH HIM WHEN THE KING GAVE HIS ORDER TO HAVE THE FRUIT TREE BE UPROOTED SAID TO HIS FATHER, "FATHER, ALLOW IT TO LIVE FOR ONE MORE SEASON, I WILL CARE FOR IT AND CULTIVATE ITS GROUND WITH MANURE SO THAT IT MAY PROVIDE FRUIT THE NEXT SEASON, IF IT DOES NOT BEAR ANY FRUIT AFTER I HAVE CARED FOR IT, ON THE DAY OF THE HARVEST I WILL HAVE IT DESTROYED."
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS FOR THE SHEPHERD WHO HAS PLANTED GOOD SEEDS OVER THE LAND THAT OUR CREATOR HAS BLESSED HIM WITH. ON THE NIGHT THE LAW OF OUR CREATOR WAS BROKEN, THE DIVIDER AND HIS FLOCK CORRUPTED THE HOLY FIELD BY PLANTING EVIL SEEDS OVER THE HOLY FIELD AND INTO THE SHADOWS THE DIVIDER AND HIS FLOCK VANISHED, IT CAME TO BE THAT THE NIGHT TURNED TO DAY AND BOTH THE GOOD SEEDS AND THE BAD SEEDS SPRANG UP AND BROUGHT FORTH FRUIT TREES, IT CAME TO PASS THAT THE SHEPHERDS ONLY SON BECAME HUNGRY AND WENT TO HIS FATHERS LAND AND CONSUMED THE FRUIT BORN OF THE BAD SEEDS, AFTER HE CONSUMED OF THE EVIL TREE THE SHEPHERDS SON DIED, WHEN THE SHEPHERDS SERVANTS WITNESSED WHAT HAD TAKEN PLACE THEY INFORMED THE SHEPHERD BY SAYING; "YOUR SON HAS DIED AT THE HANDS OF YOUR ENEMY, YOUR LAND HAS BEEN CORRUPTED WITH EVIL SEEDS AND HAS BROUGHT FORTH EVIL FRUIT, YOUR SON HAS CONSUMED THE FRUIT OF THE EVIL TREE AND HAS DIED, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE US DO? SHOULD WE UPROOT THE EVIL FRUIT TREES AND DESTROY ITS POISONED FRUITS?", BUT THE SHEPHERD SAID: "NO, FOR IF THE EVIL TREES ARE UPROOTED NOW THE GOOD TREES WILL BE DAMAGED, I WILL ALLOW THEM TO GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE NEXT HARVEST, EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN OF WHICH TREE THEY MAY EAT, TEACH THEM TO KNOW AND RECOGNISE THE EVIL TREES AND ITS FRUITS, SO THAT THEY MAY NOT PERISH AT THE HANDS OF MY ENEMY, ON THE DAY OF THE HARVEST, I WILL TELL THE REAPERS TO GATHER UP THE EVIL FRUIT TREES AND BIND THEM IN BUNDLES TO BE DESTROYED", KNOW THAT ON THE DAY OF THE HARVEST I WILL INSTRUCT MY SERVANTS TO GATHER THE FRUITS OF THE GOOD TREES AND KEEP THEM SAFE IN MY BARN. WHEN THE DAY OF THE HARVEST HAD PASSED GOD BLESSED HIS SHEPHERD WITH ANOTHER SON AND SAID TO HIM; "MANY SERVANTS WILL COME TO THE GATES OF YOUR FIELD, BUT FEW WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER."
AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT THEIR WAS A VERY SICK WOMAN WITH ALL KINDS OF DISEASES NO ONE IN HER FAMILY WOULD GO NEAR HER, AFRAID THEY WOULD BE STRICKEN WITH HER ILLNESSES, THEY ALL STAYED AWAY. ONE DAY HER ILLNESS BECAME UNBEARABLE AND FROM HER HEART SHE CRIED OUT TO GOD "LORD HELP ME PLEASE" GOD WHO HEARS ALL HIS CHILDREN SENT HIS ONLY SON TO HER HOME. WHEN THE SON OF GOD ARRIVED AT HER DOOR HER FAMILY GREETED HIM AND INVITED HIM IN, THE SON OF GOD TOLD THE SICK WOMAN "I WAS SENT BY GOD WHO HAS HEARD YOUR PLEA FOR HELP, I AM HERE TO RID YOU OF ALL THAT'S AFFLICTING YOU", THE SON OF GOD SAID TO HER FAMILY "HOLD OUR SISTER AND SHORTLY AFTER SHE WILL BE CURED" HER FAMILY HELD HER SO TIGHT THAT MOMENTS AFTER, THE WOMAN CRIED OUT "YOU ARE IN DEED GOD'S SON FOR YOU HAVE CURED ME", TO WHICH THE SON OF GOD REPLIED "I HAVE NOT CURED YOU, IT WAS YOUR FAMILY'S LOVE AND YOUR FAITH IN GOD THAT HAS RID YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD OF YOUR DISEASES".
BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, I GIVE YOU WISDOM. WISDOM I HAVE RECEIVED FROM GOD. THIS WISDOM WILL INCREASE YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF DIVINE TRUTH. KNOW THAT GOD IS THE PEACE THAT CURES ALL SUFFERING. KNOW THAT GOD WILL SET YOU FREE AND PUT AN END TO YOUR SLAVERY. KNOW THAT ONLY GOD CAN END OUR EXISTENCE. KNOW THAT ONLY GOD ALONE IS JUDGE OVER US. KNOW THAT IF YOU ASK OF GOD, GOD WILL GIVE TO YOU. IF YOU SEARCH FOR OUR CREATOR, YOU WILL FIND OUR CREATOR.

KNOW TO BE HUMBLE, KNOW THAT IF ANYONE OF US SHOULD SAY: "I AM IN NEED OF GOD", KNOW THAT HE/SHE WHO HAS ASKED, IT WILL BE HE/SHE THAT WILL RECEIVE GOD. KNOW TO BE A NATION OF WISE MEN AND WOMAN. KNOW THAT IF ANY OF YOUR CHILDREN SHOULD ASK YOU FOR FOOD, WILL YOU FEED THAT CHILD STONES?. KNOW AS I KNOW, THAT GOD IS OUR CREATOR AND THAT WE ARE GOD'S CREATION. KNOW THAT GOD IS A LOVING PROVIDER, PROVIDING ALL CREATION SHOULD EVER NEED. KNOW THAT THE LOVE GOD CREATED IN OUR HEARTS IS THE KEY THAT WILL OPEN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN TO US. KNOW THAT DISOBEDIENCE, GREED, HATE, AND INJUSTICE ARE LESSONS TAUGHT TO THE LOST SHEEP BY THE ENEMY OF GOD. KNOW THAT GOD CREATED US, GOD MADE US MAN AND WOMAN. KNOW THAT IN THE ANOINTING, I HAVE COME TO KNOW MY CREATOR AND ALL OF GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS. I HAVE COME TO DESIRE AND OBSERVE OUR CREATOR'S TEACHINGS, LESSON'S THAT MAKE ME WISE, OBEDIENT AND A BLESSING TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I PROCLAIM TO ALL WHO WILL LISTEN THAT THE WISDOM I HAVE BEEN GIVEN BY GOD, HAS TRANSFORMED ME INTO A BLESSING, OBEDIENT TO GOD, KNOWING TO SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE GIVEN TO ME BY GOD AND DELIVERED TO MY ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. KNOW THAT IN THE ANOINTING I BECOME OBEDIENT AND KNOW WHO I SERVE. I KNOW IN THIS BLESSING THAT I SERVE THE GOD OF LOVE, HARMONY AND PEACE, I KNOW NEVER TO BRING WAR, IMBALANCE, HATE, GREED, INJUSTICE NOR SUFFERING TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, I KNOW TO SHARE EQUALLY ALL I HAVE RECEIVED FROM GOD. BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOW NOT TO PRACTICE GREED. KNOW TO ONLY SERVE OUR CREATOR. KNOW THAT YOU AND I MATTER TO GOD. KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD. KNOW THAT GOD'S LOVE KNOWS HOW TO FORGIVE. BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOW THAT OUR CREATOR IS A LOVING AND GRACEFUL GOD, MAY YOU EVER BE CAPTIVATED BY GOD'S UNENDING DEDICATION TO CREATION. BE A PEACEFUL NATION AND KNOW THAT HATRED STIRS UP DISSENSION, BUT LOVE COVERS OVER ALL WRONGS. KNOW THAT THOSE WHO LOVE THEIR CHILDREN CARE ENOUGH TO DISCIPLINE THEM. KNOW THAT A BOWL OF VEGETABLES WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE IS BETTER THAN STEAK WITH SOMEONE YOU HATE. KNOW THAT LOVE PROSPERS WHEN A FAULT IS FORGIVEN, BUT DWELLING ON IT SEPARATES CLOSE FRIENDS. KNOW THAT A FRIEND LOVES AT ALL TIMES, AND A BROTHER IS BORN FOR ADVERSITY. KNOW THAT THERE ARE FOUR THINGS THAT AMAZE ME 1. HOW AN EAGLE GLIDES THROUGH THE SKY, 2. HOW A SNAKE SLITHERS ON A ROCK, 3. HOW A SHIP NAVIGATES THE OCEAN, 4. HOW A HUMAN LOVES ANOTHER. KNOW THAT LOVE IS MORE DELIGHTFUL THAN WINE. MANY WATERS CANNOT QUENCH LOVE; RIVERS CANNOT WASH IT AWAY. IF ONE WERE TO GIVE ALL THE WEALTH OF HIS HOUSE FOR LOVE, IT WOULD BE UTTERLY SCORNED. KNOW THAT THE ANOINTED CHILD CHRIST JESUS SAID, 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT. AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT: 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' KNOW THAT IF I SPEAK IN THE TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM ONLY A RESOUNDING GONG OR A CLANGING CYMBAL. IF I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY AND CAN FATHOM ALL MYSTERIES AND ALL KNOWLEDGE, AND IF I HAVE A FAITH THAT CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM NOTHING. IF I GIVE ALL I POSSESS TO THE POOR AND SURRENDER MY BODY TO THE FLAMES, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I GAIN NOTHING. LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD. IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUSTS, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERES. LOVE NEVER FAILS. IN THE ANOINTING I KNOW THAT THESE THREE REMAIN: FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE. BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE. HUSBANDS, LOVE YOUR SPOUSE, JUST AS CHRIST JESUS LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR IT. GOD IS WITH ME. IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, I GIVE YOU WISDOM. WISDOM FROM GOD. THIS WISDOM WILL INCREASE YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF DIVINE TRUTH. GOD IS THE PEACE THAT CURES ALL SUFFERING. GOD WILL SET YOU FREE AND PUT AN END TO YOUR SLAVERY. ONLY GOD CAN END OUR EXISTENCE. ONLY GOD ALONE IS JUDGE OVER US. IF YOU ASK GOD, GOD WILL GIVE TO YOU WHAT YOU ASK, IF YOU SHOULD SEEK GOD, YOU WILL FIND GOD. IF YOU KNOCK ON GOD'S DOOR, HE WILL OPEN THE DOOR. EVERYONE WHO NEEDS GOD, THEY WILL RECEIVE GOD. IF YOUR CHILD ASKS YOU FOR FOOD - WILL YOU FEED YOUR CHILD A ROCK? KNOW AS I KNOW THAT GOD IS OUR CREATOR AND WE ARE GOD'S CREATION, I URGE YOU TO KNOW THAT GOD PROVIDES ALL OF CREATION WHAT IS NEEDED. KNOW THAT OUR LOVE IS THE ONLY KEY THAT WILL SAVE US, DISOBEDIENCE, GREED, HATE, AND IMBALANCE IS A GIFT MADE TO US BY THE ENEMY OF GOD. THIS IS WHAT OUR CREATOR TAUGHT US, GOD MADE US PERFECT, GOD MADE US MAN AND WOMAN, IN THE ANOINTING, I HAVE COME TO KNOW MY CREATOR, I KNOW GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS, NOW I KEEP HIS TEACHINGS AND ACQUIRE WISDOM, THIS VIRTUE OUR CREATOR CALLED OBEDIENCE. IN THE ANOINTING I KNOW NOT TO SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS SUFFER, I KNOW TO SHARE EQUALLY ALL I HAVE RECEIVED FROM GOD. IN THIS WISDOM OF GOD, I HAVE ENDED, RISE ABOVE, BEEN BLESSED WITH, ENLIGHTENED, KNOW AS HE KNOWS, DO AS HE DOES, SEE HOW HE SEES, THAT HE HAS BEEN MADE REAL BEFORE YOU, AND KNOWING THIS YOU NO HOW TO END GREED, KNOW YOU KNOW GOD'S LAW AND SHARE ALL I'VE BEEN GIVEN AND IN THIS OBEDIENCE I BECOME HIS SERVANT AND PRACTICE NO GREED. FOR THIS TASK HE GAVE US HIS HEART MY LOVE KNOWS NOT TO PRACTICE HATE. IN GODS WISDOM I LEARNED AND BECAME BLESS AND SAW THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, AND SO I SHARED IT WITH YOU MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I KNOW THAT GOD IS OUR CREATOR AND WE ARE GOD'S CREATION, I URGE YOU TO KNOW THAT GOD PROVIDES ALL CREATION WILL NEED, THE LORD OF HOSTS, LOVE IS THE ONLY KEY THAT WILL SAVE HUMANITY, KNOW THAT GOD MADE US PERFECT, I HAVE COME TO KNOW MY CREATOR, I KNOW AS HE KNOWS, I KEEP HIS WISDOM AS MY OWN.

FOR THIS TASK HE GAVE US HIS HEART MY LOVE KNOWS NOT TO PRACTICE HATE. IN GODS WISDOM I LEARNED AND BECAME BLESS AND SAW THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, AND SO I SHARED IT WITH YOU MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT HE POURED THE ANOINTING OIL UPON HIS HEAD, AND ANOINTED HIM, TO SANCTIFY HIM. THEN HE TOOK THE HORN OF OIL, AND ANOINTED HIM IN THE MIDST OF HIS BRETHREN: AND GOD CAME UPON HIM FROM THAT DAY FORWARD. SO HE ROSE UP, AND WENT HOME. HE PROCLAIMED TO ALL THE NATIONS THAT OUR CREATOR'S ANOINTING WAS UPON HIM AND THAT IN THE ANOINTING HE WOULD PREACH GOOD TIDINGS UNTO THE MEEK, BIND UP THE BROKENHEARTED, PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES AND ALLOW THE OPENING OF THE PRISONS TO THEM THAT ARE BOUND. THE ANOINTED PROCLAIMED THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR AND HEALED THE BROKENHEARTED, HE PREACHED DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND ALLOWED THE RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, HE ALLOWED HEALING TO THEM THAT ARE BRUISED. HE WILL CAST OUT MANY DEVILS, AND ANOINT MANY THAT ARE SICK AND ALL WILL BECOME WITNESSES OF THEIR HEALING. IT SHALL BE ASKED "IS ANY SICK AMONG YOU?" THEN HE SHALL CALL TO ALL THE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH; AND ASK THEM TO PRAY OVER HIM AND ANOINT HIM WITH DIVINE WATER IN THE NAME OF OUR CREATOR. KNOW THAT HE WILL REBUILD US AND DELIVER GOD'S ANOINTING UPON US. KNOW THAT IT WILL BE THOSE WHO LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND HATED INIQUITY THAT SHALL RECEIVE GOD'S ANOINTING. KNOW THAT ON THAT DAY THE CHOSEN WILL DRINK OF THE LIFE WATER FROM HE THAT WILL BE THE DELIVERER OF PEACE OVER ALL THE NATION AND THE ANOINTING SHALL DWELL IN YOU AS A NEW BREATH OF LIFE AND SHALL AWAKEN YOU TO NO LONGER NEED OF NEW TEACHINGS, FOR IT WILL BE OUR CREATOR'S OWN WISDOM THAT WILL BE DWELLING WITHIN YOU AND SHALL THEN SHOW YOU THE WAYS OF TRUTH, KNOW THAT IN THE NEW ANOINTING YOU WILL KNOW ALL THINGS WHICH ARE AND ARE NOT.
IT CAME TO PASS THAT THE EARTH WAS FORMLESS AND EMPTY, DARKNESS WAS OVER THE SURFACE OF THE DEEP, AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS HOVERING OVER THE WATERS. GOD CALLED THE LIGHT "DAY," AND THE DARKNESS HE CALLED "NIGHT." AND THERE WAS EVENING, AND THERE WAS MORNING THE FIRST DAY. THEN THE GOD SAID TO HIS ANOINTED, "STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND TOWARD THE SKY SO THAT DARKNESS WILL SPREAD OVER EGYPT DARKNESS THAT CAN BE FELT." SO GOD'S ANOINTED STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND TOWARD THE SKY, AND TOTAL DARKNESS COVERED ALL EGYPT FOR THREE DAYS. ON THE MORNING OF THE THIRD DAY THERE WAS THUNDER AND LIGHTNING, WITH A THICK CLOUD OVER THE MOUNTAIN, AND A VERY LOUD TRUMPET BLAST. EVERYONE TREMBLED. THE PEOPLE REMAINED AT A DISTANCE, WHILE GOD'S ANOINTED APPROACHED THE THICK DARKNESS WHERE GOD WAS. HE PARTED THE HEAVENS AND CAME DOWN AS DARK CLOUDS APPEARED UNDER HIS FEET. I SAW THE ANOINTED MOUNT ON THE CHERUBIM AND FLY; HE SOARED ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND. THE ANOINTED MADE DARKNESS HIS CANOPY AROUND HIM AS WELL AS THE DARK RAIN CLOUDS OF THE SKY. THEN GOD'S ANOINTED SAID, "OUR CREATOR HAS SAID THAT HE WOULD DWELL IN A DARK CLOUD; WHEN I MADE THE CLOUDS ITS GARMENT AND WRAPPED IT IN THICK DARKNESS, HE MADE DARKNESS HIS COVERING AND THE DARK RAIN CLOUDS OF THE SKY HIS CANOPY. I SAW CLOUDS AND THICK DARKNESS SURROUND GOD'S ANOINTED, I KNEW THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE FORMED THE FOUNDATION OF HIS THRONE. I SAW GOD CREATE A DARKNESS THAT MADE THE LAND DARK, I KNEW HE HAD DONE THIS BECAUSE THEY REBELLED AGAINST HIS WORDS. I HEARD IN THE DISTANCE A MAN CRY OUT "IF WE HAD NOT CURSED OUR FATHER AND MOTHER, OUR LAMP WOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT LEAVING US IN PITCH DARKNESS. I THEN LOOKED TOWARDS THE EARTH AND SAW ONLY DISTRESS AND DARKNESS AND A FEARFUL GLOOM, AND KNEW THAT THEY WOULD BE THROWN INTO THE DARKNESS. I HEARD A GREAT VOICE SAY "THE PEOPLE WALKING IN DARKNESS HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT, LET ALL LIVING ON THE LAND OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH SEE THAT FINALLY THE LIGHT HAS DAWNED." THEN I HEARD COMING FROM THE SKY A GREAT VOICE SAY "THE STARS OF HEAVEN AND THEIR CONSTELLATIONS DID NOT SHOW THEIR LIGHT AND THE RISING SUN WILL SOON BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT ON THAT DAY." GOD SPOKE VIA HIS ANOINTED AND SAID "I WILL LEAD THE BLIND BY WAYS THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN, ALONG UNFAMILIAR PATHS I WILL GUIDE THEM; I WILL TURN THE DARKNESS INTO LIGHT BEFORE THEM AND MAKE THE ROUGH PLACES SMOOTH. THESE ARE THE THINGS I WILL DO; I WILL NOT FORSAKE THEM. I FORM THE LIGHT AND CREATE DARKNESS, I BRING PROSPERITY AND CREATE DISASTER; I, YOUR CREATOR, WILL DO ALL THESE THINGS. THE ANOINTED ASKED "WHO AMONG YOU FEARS GOD AND OBEYS THE WORD OF HIS SERVANT? LET HIM WHO WALKS IN THE DARK, WHO HAS NO LIGHT, TRUST IN GOD AND GOD ALONE. I WAS SHOWN THE EARTH, AND IT WAS FORMLESS AND EMPTY, AND THERE WAS NO LIGHT IN THE SKY. I SAW THE EARTH MOURN. I HEARD A VOICE SAY " HE HAS DRIVEN ME AWAY AND MADE ME WALK IN DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT. HE HAS COVERED THE HEAVENS AND DARKEN THE STARS, HE HAS COVERED THE SUN WITH A CLOUD, SO THAT THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE US ITS LIGHT. IT WAS THEN THAT I SAW THE EARTH SHAKE AND THE SKY TREMBLE. THE ANOINTED APPEARED BEFORE ME AND SAID "DO NOT GLOAT OVER ME, MY ENEMY! THOUGH I HAVE FALLEN, I WILL RISE, THOUGH I SIT IN DARKNESS, OUR CREATOR WILL BE MY LIGHT. KNOW THE EYE IS THE LAMP OF THE BODY AND IF YOUR EYES ARE GOOD, YOUR WHOLE BODY WILL BE FULL OF LIGHT, BUT IF YOUR EYES ARE BAD, YOUR WHOLE BODY WILL BE FULL OF DARKNESS. IF THEN THE LIGHT WITHIN YOU IS DARKNESS, HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS. KNOW TO SHINE ON THOSE LIVING IN DARKNESS AND WALKING OVER THE SHADOW OF DEATH, KNOW TO GUIDE YOUR FEET INTO THE PATH OF PEACE." MANY WILL SEE THE LIGHT COME INTO THE WORLD BUT THOSE WHO PRACTICE EVIL TO THEM ONLY DARKNESS WILL BE SHOWN. KNOW THAT EVERYONE WHO DOES EVIL HATES THE LIGHT, AND WILL NOT COME INTO THE LIGHT FOR FEAR THAT HIS DEEDS WILL BE EXPOSED, BUT WHOEVER LIVES BY THE TRUTH COMES INTO THE LIGHT, SO THAT IT MAY BE SEEN PLAINLY THAT WHAT HE HAS DONE HAS BEEN DONE THROUGH GOD." IT WAS THEN THAT THE ANOINTED SAID" I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. WHOEVER FOLLOWS ME WILL NEVER WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT WILL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE, THEY I FORGIVE AND SANCTIFY BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH IN ME."
AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT THE ANOINTED LOOKED UP TO THE HEAVENS AND SAID: "YOU ARE MY LAMP, THE LIGHT THAT REMOVES THE DARKNESS." THEN HE PUT HIS HANDS OVER MY EYES AND SAID: "BY DAY I WILL LEAD YOU WITH A PILLAR OF CLOUD AND BY NIGHT WITH A PILLAR OF FIRE." HE REDEEMED MY SOUL FROM ENTERING THE PIT OF DARKNESS AND LEAD ME TO HIS LIGHT. I HEARD IN THE DISTANCE A MAN SAY: "MAY THE LIGHT OF YOUR FACE SHINE UPON US." THEN I HEARD A WOMAN SAY: "WITH YOU IS THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE, WITH YOUR LIGHT I CAN SEE THE LIGHT." I SAW THE ANOINTED LOOK UP TO THE HEAVENS ONCE MORE AND SAY: "SEND FORTH YOUR LIGHT AND YOUR TRUTH, LET THEM GUIDE ME AND BRING ME TO THE HOLY LAND, THE PLACE WHERE YOU DWELL. FOR YOU HAVE DELIVERED ME FROM DEATH AND MY FEET FROM STUMBLING. IN YOUR PRESENCE I'VE SEEN THE LIGHT OF LIFE." BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOW THAT LIGHT IS SHED UPON THE RIGHTEOUS AND JOY ON THE UPRIGHT IN HEART. KNOW THAT OUR CREATOR WRAPS HIMSELF IN LIGHT LIKE A GARMENT AND STRETCHES OUT THE HEAVENS LIKE A TENT. KNOW THAT OUR CREATOR'S LIGHT ALLOWS THE SIMPLE UNDERSTANDING. BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOW THAT NO ONE LIGHTS A LAMP AND PUTS IT IN A PLACE WHERE IT WILL BE HIDDEN, OR UNDER A BOWL. INSTEAD HE PUTS IT ON ITS STAND, SO THAT THOSE WHO COME IN MAY SEE THE LIGHT. IN THE ANOINTING I KNOW TO BE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. BROTHERS AND SISTERS OUR CREATOR'S LOVE AND CARE WILL SATISFY US ALWAYS, MAY WE FOREVER BE CAPTIVATED BY GOD'S DEDICATION TO CREATION. KNOW THAT HATRED STIRS UP DISSENSION, BUT LOVE COVERS OVER ALL WRONGS. KNOW THAT THOSE WHO LOVE THEIR CHILDREN CARE ENOUGH TO DISCIPLINE THEM. KNOW THAT LOVE IS MORE DELIGHTFUL THAN WINE. MANY WATERS CANNOT QUENCH LOVE; RIVERS CANNOT WASH IT AWAY. IF ONE WERE TO GIVE ALL THE WEALTH OF HIS HOUSE FOR LOVE, IT WOULD BE UTTERLY SCORNED. KNOW THAT THE ANOINTED SAID, 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE CREATOR YOUR FATHER WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT. AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT: 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' KNOW THAT IF I SPEAK IN THE TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM ONLY A RESOUNDING GONG OR A CLANGING CYMBAL. IF I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY AND CAN FATHOM ALL MYSTERIES AND ALL KNOWLEDGE, AND IF I HAVE A FAITH THAT CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM NOTHING. IF I GIVE ALL I POSSESS TO THE POOR AND SURRENDER MY BODY TO THE FLAMES, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I GAIN NOTHING. LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD. IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUSTS, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERES. LOVE NEVER FAILS ... AND NOW THESE THREE REMAIN: FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE. BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE. HUSBANDS, LOVE YOUR SPOUSE, JUST AS THE ANOINTED LOVES HIS DICIPLES AND GIVES HIMSELF UP FOR THEM.
THEN I LOOKED UP TO THE HEAVENS AND SAW A BRIGHT FLASH OF LIGHT AND IN MY MIND I HEARD, PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY PEACE I GIVE YOU. I DO NOT GIVE TO YOU AS THE WORLD GIVES. DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED AND DO NOT BE AFRAID. WE HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED THROUGH FAITH, WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN PEACE BY GOD THROUGH THE EXAMPLES AND TEACHINGS OF OUR MESSIAH, WHO WAS PIERCED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE PUNISHMENT THAT BROUGHT US PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS WOUNDS WE HAVE ALL BEEN HEALED. NOW MAY THE LORD OF PEACE HIMSELF GIVE YOU PEACE AT ALL TIMES AND IN EVERY WAY. KNOW IN YOUR EVERY THOUGHT THAT OUR CREATOR IS WITH US ALWAYS, MAINTAIN PERFECT PEACE, INSTRUCT YOUR MIND TO BE STEADFAST, KNOW HE HAS PLACED HIS TRUST IN US. TURN FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT. KNOW TO LET THE PEACE OF OUR MESSIAH RULE IN YOUR HEARTS, KNOW THAT AS MEMBERS OF ONE BODY WE WERE CALLED TO PEACE. KNOW TO BE THANKFUL. KNOW TO ALLOW THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING, TO GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR MINDS, KEEP IN YOUR EVERY ACTION THE WISDOM GAINED BY THE TEACHINGS OF OUR MESSIAH, OUR CREATOR MAKES HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU AND DELIVERS HIS GRACE TO ALL OF US, AS PERFECT PEACE. PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF THE PEACEFUL NATION, MAY THOSE WHO LOVE YOU BE LOVED BY YOU. OUR CREATOR WILL DELIVER TO YOU THE FINEST OF WHEAT. LOVE YOUR CREATOR ABOVE ALL THINGS.
IT CAME TO PASS THAT WHILE COUNTING HIS FLOCK OF 100 SHEEP, THE SON OF GOD DISCOVERED ONE MISSING. IMMEDIATELY, HE LEFT THE 99 SHEEP IN THE SAFETY OF THE FIRST DAY TO GO IN SEARCH OF THE LOST SHEEP, IT CAME TO BE THAT WHILE THE SON OF GOD WAS IN SEARCH OF THE LOST SHEEP, NIGHT FELL UPON THE 99 SHEEP AND IN THE DARKEST PART OF THE NIGHT THE 99 SHEEP BECAME FRIGHTENED AND SEPARATED INTO VARIOUS GROUPS. ON THE SECOND DAY THE SON OF GOD FOUND HIS LOST SHEEP, THE SON OF GOD CARRIED THE SHEEP IN HIS ARMS AND PLACED THE LOST SHEEP AMONGST THE 99 HE HAD LEFT BEHIND, IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT WHEN THE SON OF GOD FILLED WITH LOVE CALLED OUT TO THE EARTH, AND SAID: "SHARE THIS FEELING OF PEACE WITH ME, FOR MY LOST SHEEP HAS BEEN FOUND." I TELL YOU THIS TRUTH: THERE IS MORE REJOICING IN THE HOUSE OF OUR CREATOR OVER ONE WHO IS RECOVERED BY THE SON OF GOD, THEN OVER 99 WHO REMAINED SAFE ON THE LAND OF OUR CREATOR BLESSED AND WHO IN THE ABSENCE OF THE SON OF GOD (SHEPHERD) SEPARATED INTO VARIOUS FRIGHTENED GROUPS TO FIND EARTHLY SECURITY AND SAFETY."
THE SPIRIT OF OUR CREATOR IS UPON ME, THIS ANOINTING HAS BROUGHT FORTH WISDOM TO THOSE WITH LITTLE KNOWLEDGE, PEACE TO THOSE WITH TROUBLED HEARTS, LIBERTY TO THOSE CAPTURED, RELEASE FOR THOSE WHO ARE BOUND. ONLY THE AUTHOR OF LIFE CAN END THAT WHICH HAS BEEN MADE ALIVE. IF YOU ASK, IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU, IF YOU SHOULD SEEK, YOU WILL FIND THAT WHICH IS SOUGHT AFTER, IF YOU SHOULD KNOCK, IT WILL BE OPENED TO YOU, ALL WHO ASK OF OUR CREATOR SHALL THEY ALL RECEIVE, ALL WHO SEEK WILL FIND THAT WHICH IS SOUGHT AFTER, TO ALL WHO KNOCK IT SHALL BE OPENED TO THEM, IF YOUR SON SHOULD ASK YOU FOR BREAD, WILL A STONE BE PROVIDED TO HIM BY YOU HIS FATHER? WHAT IF HE SHOULD ASK FOR FISH, WILL YOU HIS FATHER GIVE HIM A SERPENT? IF YOU THEN, WHO ARE EVIL, KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE WILL OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN THE AUTHOR OF CREATION GIVE TO THOSE WHO NEED FROM HIM, KNOW TO BE TO OTHERS THAT WHICH YOU REQUIRE OF THEM, THIS IS THE LAW OF OUR CREATOR.
HER HUSBAND CONVINCED OF HIS WORLDLY (DEAD, NON-LIVING, CAPABLE OF DYING, HALF TRUTH) EDUCATION SAID TO THE PROPHET: "CARE TO PROVE THIS CREATOR ACTUALLY EXISTS OUTSIDE OF THE HOLES IN YOUR EDUCATION?" TO WHICH THE PROPHET REPLIED: "DID YOU MAKE YOURSELF OR YOUR PARENTS OR THEIR PARENTS, WHO ON EARTH IS THE CREATOR TO KNOW THIS MYSTERY?, WHO HAS MADE YOU DOUBT THAT WHICH CAN ONLY BE KNOWN BY THE CREATOR ALONE?. BROTHERS AND SISTERS, KNOW THAT JUST AS A BODY, THOUGH ONE, HAS MANY PARTS, BUT ALL ITS MANY PARTS FORM ONE BODY, SO IT IS WITH CHRIST. FOR WE WERE ALL EDUCATED BY ONE SPIRIT SO AS TO FORM ONE BODY—WHETHER JEWS OR GENTILES, SLAVE OR FREE—AND WE WERE ALL GIVEN THE ONE SPIRIT TO BE A PART OF. EVEN SO THE BODY IS NOT MADE UP OF ONE PART BUT OF MANY. NOW IF THE FOOT SHOULD SAY, "BECAUSE I AM NOT A HAND, I DO NOT BELONG TO THE BODY," IT WOULD NOT FOR THAT REASON STOP BEING PART OF THE BODY. AND IF THE EAR SHOULD SAY, "BECAUSE I AM NOT AN EYE, I DO NOT BELONG TO THE BODY," IT WOULD NOT FOR THAT REASON STOP BEING PART OF THE BODY. IF THE WHOLE BODY WERE AN EYE, WHERE WOULD THE SENSE OF HEARING BE? IF THE WHOLE BODY WERE AN EAR, WHERE WOULD THE SENSE OF SMELL BE? BUT IN FACT GOD HAS PLACED THE PARTS IN THE BODY, EVERY ONE OF THEM, JUST AS HE WANTED THEM TO BE. IF THEY WERE ALL ONE PART, WHERE WOULD THE BODY BE? AS IT IS, THERE ARE MANY PARTS, BUT ONE BODY. THE EYE CANNOT SAY TO THE HAND, "I DON'T NEED YOU!" AND THE HEAD CANNOT SAY TO THE FEET, "I DON'T NEED YOU!" ON THE CONTRARY, THOSE PARTS OF THE BODY THAT SEEM TO BE WEAKER ARE INDISPENSABLE, AND THE PARTS THAT WE THINK ARE LESS HONORABLE WE TREAT WITH SPECIAL HONOR. AND THE PARTS THAT ARE UNPRESENTABLE ARE TREATED WITH SPECIAL MODESTY, WHILE OUR PRESENTABLE PARTS NEED NO SPECIAL TREATMENT. BUT GOD HAS PUT THE BODY TOGETHER, GIVING GREATER HONOR TO THE PARTS THAT LACKED IT, SO THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO DIVISION IN THE BODY, BUT THAT ITS PARTS SHOULD HAVE EQUAL CONCERN FOR EACH OTHER. IF ONE PART SUFFERS, EVERY PART SUFFERS WITH IT; IF ONE PART IS HONORED, EVERY PART REJOICES WITH IT. NOW YOU ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND EACH ONE OF YOU IS A PART OF IT. AND GOD HAS PLACED IN THE CHURCH FIRST OF ALL APOSTLES, SECOND PROPHETS, THIRD TEACHERS, THEN MIRACLES, THEN GIFTS OF HEALING, OF HELPING, OF GUIDANCE, AND OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF TONGUES. ARE ALL APOSTLES? ARE ALL PROPHETS? ARE ALL TEACHERS? DO ALL WORK MIRACLES? DO ALL HAVE GIFTS OF HEALING? DO ALL SPEAK IN TONGUES? DO ALL INTERPRET? NOW EAGERLY DESIRE THE GREATER GIFTS. BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IT IS WISE TO BE TRUTHFUL AND SAY TO EACH OTHER: "I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, RATHER THEN LEAD YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AWAY FROM THE TRUTH."
THEN I HEARD HIM SAY, FOR I HAVE CHOSEN HIM, THAT HE MAY COMMAND HIS CHILDREN AND HIS HOUSEHOLD AFTER HIM TO KEEP THE WAY OF THE LORD BY DOING RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE, SO THAT THE LORD MAY BRING TO HIS CHILDREN WHAT HE HAS PROMISED HIM. KNOW TO TRAIN YOUR CHILDREN IN THE WAYS OF GOD, KNOW THAT EVEN WHEN THE CHILD BECOMES OF AGE THEY WILL NOT DEPART FROM GOD'S WAYS. KNOW THAT ALL YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE TAUGHT BY GOD, AND GREAT WILL THE PEACE BE WITH YOUR CHILDREN. FATHERS, DO NOT PROVOKE YOUR CHILDREN WITH THE WRONGS WAYS, LEST THEY BECOME DISCOURAGED IN THE WAYS OF GOD. KNOW TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN ALL YOU HAVE SEEN AND LEARNED FROM GOD, KNOW THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL FORGET AND THE LESSONS WILL DEPART FROM YOUR HEART, WHO THEN WILL REMIND YOUR HOUSEHOLD. KNOW TO KEEP THESE WORDS THAT GOD COMMANDS TO BE KEPT IN OUR HEARTS. KNOW TO TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY TO YOUR CHILDREN, TALK OF THEM WHEN YOU SIT IN YOUR HOUSE, AND WHEN YOU WALK BY THE WAY, AND WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, AND WHEN YOU RISE. YOU SHALL BIND THEM AS A SIGN ON YOUR HAND, AND THEY SHALL BECOME A KEY BY WHICH YOU WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF THE RIGHTEOUS, WRITE THEM ON THE DOOR POSTS OF YOUR HOUSE AND ON YOUR GATES. KNOW THAT AS YOU WISH THAT OTHERS WOULD DO TO YOU, DO ALSO TO THEM, FOR THIS IS THE LAW OF GOD. KNOW TO CONTINUE IN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND HAVE FIRMLY BELIEVED, KNOWING FROM WHOM YOU LEARNED IT AND HOW FROM CHILDHOOD YOU HAVE BEEN ACQUAINTED WITH THE SACRED WRITINGS, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN ALL THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST JESUS.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOW TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF THOSE WHO GOD PLACES BEFORE YOU AND PROCLAIM THAT YOU SERVE GOD YOUR CREATOR ABOVE ALL OTHERS. KNOW THAT A CHILD OF GOD IS LIKE A RAY OF LIGHT, WHEN IT IS BROKEN IT DOES NOT DIE, BUT RATHER GIVES OFF ALL THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW. HOLD ON TO YOUR HAPPINESS, SOME THINGS ARE BEYOND THE POWER OF OUR WILL, BUT NOT BEYOND THE WILL OF GOD. KNOW TO NOT ONLY LOOK UP TO THE HEAVENS IN SEARCH OF GOD'S FACE, BUT TO ALSO LOOK DOWN AND SEE THE MANY FLOWERS GOD HAS PLACED AT YOUR FEET. KNOW THAT THE VALUE OF YOUR LIFE, DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF YOUR THOUGHTS. KNOW THAT HAPPINESS DOES NOT RESIDE IN SILVER OR GOLD, HAPPINESS IS A BLESSING THAT LIVES IN YOUR HEART. BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOW NOT TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO KINGS AND QUEENS FOR THEY WILL PERISH, KNOW ALWAYS TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO OUR CREATOR WHO HAS NO END OR BEGINNING. KNOW THAT ONLY THE FOOL RELY SOLELY ON PEOPLE, BUT THE WISE ALWAYS KNOW TO PLACE THEIR TRUST IN GOD FOR THE WISE KNOW THAT OUR CREATOR'S LOVES IS NEVER ENDING. BROTHERS AND SISTERS BECOME WISE PEOPLE AND KNOW TO ALWAYS KEEP PRESENT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT AS TODAY A CHILD OF GOD TAKES IN THEIR VERY FIRST BREATH, ANOTHER RELEASES THEIR VERY LAST ONE. KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE A TIME AND A PLACE IN ALL OF OUR LIVES WHEN EACH OF US WILL AWAKEN TO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT NOT ONE OF US CAN SAY I AM THE CREATOR AND ON THAT DAY YOU WILL BE ANOINTED WITH WISDOM, A WISDOM THAT CREATES AN UNDERSTANDING THAT LOVE WILL NEVER TURN A BROTHER AGAINST HIS BROTHER OR A SISTER AGAINST HER SISTER, FOR WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF THE SAME CREATOR THE ALPHA AND OMEGA.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOW TO REFLECT IN ALL YOUR ACTIONS YOUR GRATITUDE FOR THE LIFE GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD. KNOW THAT THE CHILDREN OF GOD JOYFULLY BLESS OTHERS WITH THE GIFTS GOD HAS BLESS THEM WITH. KNOW TO RAISE YOUR MIND ABOVE THE DARK WATERS OF CORRUPT THINKING. KNOW THAT ONLY FOOLS WAIT FOR OUTSIDE CONFIRMATION, BEFORE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT IN THE EYES OF GOD. BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOW THAT A CHILD OF GOD WILL NEVER HURT ANOTHER. DO NOT BE MISGUIDED BY KINGS AND QUEENS WHO PLACE THEMSELVES ON EARTHLY THRONES. KNOW TO OBEY YOUR CREATOR WHOM SITS ON A THRONE ABOVE ALL OTHERS. BE WISE AND KNOW THAT EVEN THE BLIND CAN SEE GOD. KNOW TO BE WISE AND SEEK GOD, SO THAT YOU MAY DISCOVER GOD AND GAIN THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHO YOU ARE FOR WE WERE ALL MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOW NEVER TO FORSAKE THE LIFE GIVEN TO YOU. BE OBEDIENT AND KNOW THAT GOD WILL RESTORE YOU AND BLESS YOU WITH ABUNDANCE. KNOW THAT NOT ONE OF US IS FORGOTTEN BY GOD, GOD HAS CREATED A PATH FOR EACH ONE OF US, SO THAT WE MAY BECOME RESTORED. KNOW THAT GOD MADE EACH OF US UNIQUE, KNOW TO LEAD YOUR LIFE ACCORDING TO YOUR UNIQUENESS AND IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD. BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOW THAT ON THE DAY OF THE TEST, GOD WILL SHOWN BY YOUR ACTIONS ALL THAT YOU HAVE LEARNED. KNOW TO ALWAYS REFLECT IN ALL YOUR ACTIONS, THE WISDOM GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD.
IN THE ANOINTING, MY PRAYER BECOMES A PREPARATION TO ONE OR A HOST OF ACTIONS THAT I MUST UNDERTAKE TO RESTORE BALANCE TO ALL THAT WHICH HAS BECOME UNBALANCED. CREATOR, I YOUR CREATION ASKS THAT YOU RESTORE ME, AS A RESTORED CHILD OF OUR CREATOR, MY EXISTENCE IS BALANCED. CREATOR IN THE ANOINTING, I KNOW TO SEEK AFTER YOUR ASSISTANCE, GUIDANCE AND WISDOM, SO THAT I MAY HAVE THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE TO DWELL ONCE MORE IN YOUR COMPLETENESS, A DWELLING OF PEACE, LOVE AND HAPPINESS. IN YOUR BALANCE I RESTORE ALL THOSE WHOM I AFFECT WITH MY RESTORED EXISTENCE.
