Requesting forgiveness, patience
Published 12:12 am Sunday, October 8, 2006
Some things to consider, and an apology:
1. I have been sent by God with a message of restoration for God’s church in these end times.
2. I don’t proselytize … especially at the Library.
3. As a pastor, teacher, evangelist, apostle and prophet, I do quote the Bible a lot, and I also say “God” frequently.
4. The message as yet has not been well received in Meridian:
n I’ve been assaulted by pastors at a meeting (yes, physically);
n I’ve had a pastor attempt to murder me in front of my children, on the street in front of my home;
n I’ve had a group of preachers threaten and then follow through on burning out one of the church’s residences;
n I’ve had my front door kicked in and a man assault me … this man invaded our home during a Passover dinner and began to beat me mercilessly in front of my wife and our dinner guests;
n I’ve been thrown out of the mall, library, Wal-Mart … etc.
n Etc., etc.
In light of all this, I would like to apologize.
for My failure …
I am ashamed at my total incompetence in handling the magnificent treasure I was given to share, and for my utter inability to communicate the message I have been given.
I am truly sorrowful that such misunderstanding has come from my attempts to share the wonderful end-time plan that Jesus has shown me in His word … I forgive you all, of course, since it is my shortcomings that have made understanding difficult for you all.
But please know this … I love you … and still wish to give you that which was intended for you, for I am only the messenger. If you could consider forgiving my foolishness and open your ears and hearts to listen … I will try again to share the light I’ve been shown … I think this would please our Father immensely.
Please consider:
“If anyone is willing to do the will of the Father, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.” (John 7:17) “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way the hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.” (Matthew 23:37)
I am willing … if you are also, let us show our love for our Father and for each other. Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.” (John 14:23) “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35)
Meridian is our home …
Meridian is a special place …
Meridian is a hurting place …
Meridian is a hopeful place …
Let us come together in that hope to the unity of the faith and love and commitment to the Word, that we may please our King.
Might I be so bold as to humbly ask again that you forgive me, and could you in mercy and compassion choose to listen with patience to what is not mine … but is so precious and wonderful at this time?
“Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days — You would not believe if you were told.” (Habakkuk 1:5)
