Jehovah Testimony

A Book of Jehovah called Testimony

Dear Congregation of Jehovah,

I had written some words in my spiritual journal the other day (4-2-19) that I believe would benefit all. Feel free to adapt these words to your sermons or ponder them in your heart because I feel as if they apply to many in the world and out of the world; much akin to Lehi’s dream pertaining to all the sons and daughters of Adam: Sons of Michael he approaches! If you do use a portion readapted or otherwise in your speech then please give me credit and refer to me as Elder Curtis. (Alma 7:10)Links to an external site. @10:22:43 on 04-02-19 Just to be clear about what we all are is vessels. Vessels unto the Lord and inside this tabernacle of clay (using the symbolism of the Jews) is a spirit. The Israelites would break a vessel that was contaminated with rot, fungus, bacteria, or anything that was considered for them unclean. This did not just extend to containers for shipping food and other things but also their own bodies. If a person was evil or had an unclean spirit they were dealt with before they could infect and spread their evil to the rest of the culture. One of the major calamities the Jews faced everyday was outsiders. Allowing outsiders to trade and spread their culture and destroy the 1st commandment ultimately became the hardest thing to police up and caused them to go, “a whoring after other Gods”. So how do you stop the world from creeping in? To stop the creep of bacterial growth and fungus to the human soul? You have to fortify yourselves, always be watchful & mindful. Eventually when someone becomes inhuman then they are no longer a Son or daughter of God but are something else. They have backpedaled, froward or opposite what it means to be human; becoming a child of the devil. Such a person infects the flesh of the body, like bad water filling a pot. When they pour their water into another pot (spreading inhuman ideas): such as pornography; they taint a soul and destroy it just as they did their own. Eventually there is no stopping the destruction that is spread. It is my impression that if a scientist can invent an anti-bacterial agent to cleanse these dirty waters then a prophet can utilize what has already been invented as a powerful anti-humanity cure the living waters of Christ.*End@10:43:16AM;Start @11:01:37AM; Eventually maintaining an imbalanced life against the humanity for which it was created will lead to a restless soul and that irreverent spirit within will consequently destroy the vessel that contains it. We see this all the time when people use too many drugs and destroy their bodies and their minds. For those who internalize their demons and cannot possibly release them on others eventually becoming destructive on themselves ultimately wish to end the suffering and smash their own tabernacle of clay in an attempt to destroy it and release their spirit (what is left of it) from inside then that suicide attempt does and will eventually spoil and splash and disseminate into other pots. Even if you wish to end it and no longer serve evil you will still effect others. We are all connected if the adversary cannot use you on the outside then he will destroy you on the inside ultimately in-fact tricking you and use you on the outside anyway. There is no escape we have all been told we can only serve two masters either Satan or Jesus that is all you can do. Even remaining neutral leads to your souls aspirations remaining unfulfilled you might as well be an empty pot positioned outside of a house as decoration that people occasionally use as a trash can and you wait for your owner to clean out. Maybe a spider will spin a web inside as a sign from nature of a loving God telling you that you should fill your spirit with something. Becoming as a lifeless relic and not seeing the beauty all around or noticing the intricacies of a spider’s web how even the smallest of creatures can be more creative & productive as you eventually a dog may piss inside of that empty pot and a storm may come and finally smash it. Having remained neutral and done nothing you have become nothing and you are dross to be cast out, no one wants you; it is a fate worse than joining the opposition.*Cont’d @ 11:35:28; In the end by remaining neutral you ultimately waste God’s time, all that effort used by deity building you up and all the time he spent calling after you and you would not listen. In this thing you profited the enemy still because you knew he would come calling after you and ultimately wasted the compassion of a loving being on that which was and still remains deaf, dumb, and blind. You systematically spurned at the Lord for ever having cared. For Satan he will never call after you or care for you because he knows you have no agency so when he comes to fill you with his spirit it will be an easy thing and you will ultimately put up no fight. In the end as nothing you still belong to Satan. Since you never honed any skills of resisting evil you will be unable to stop him because you have no neighbors to call on for defense having been neutral there is no hope for you. The only thing you can do is call out to the Lord and hope he is nearby to save you: but then you notice in your neutral state you drifted way too close to the enemy camp and now the Lord is too far to rescue you and you must now wait a time in possession of the devil until you can be saved. He same and warned you many times, with the spider, the dog, the storm (which only damaged you), even sent some (withdrew his spirit) vandals to ransack the house you were positioned in front of and they shot holes in your already cracked surface from the storm. By the time you are led about by the buffetings of Satan there may be nothing left for the Lord to rescue. What doth it profit him to rescue at the cost of his whole kingdom? Then there is none to contend for you and you are left to wallow in the mire of Lucifer. @ 12:37 PM; Now that I have discussed being on the side of Evil, and neutrality let us discuss the benefit of being on the side that wins. Or rather joining the winning side; for many their situation is that they want to come to the Lord but they do not know how. Your vessel is already battered and you keep trying to fill it with the spirit of God but it keeps on draining out through the holes and the scars. The reason you cannot fix it is because you did not make it. The Lord did, and the only way to repair extensive damage to your soul is through fasting, praying, and then reading the scriptures. After that you will come to the realization that you know what to ask for in help. Then to schedule a repair you must contact the bishop’s secretary and make an appointment. The house of our God is a house of order and many people need fixing spiritually. You must be patient and not esteem yourself above or below another for this begets pride or envy and neither is helpful on the healing process. Coming in with a spirit of fasting is preferred. Tell your leader or bishopric you are fasting that it may invite the spirit. Do not be afraid the Lord’s servants are the Lord’s hands and it will start the healing process. At times there may be damage that requires professional outside help be prayerful in selecting a counselor or mental health professional. Do not be afraid to switch providers until you feel comfortable. Or there may be things you cannot discuss with those professionals, it is okay to pray those concerns to the Lord and he will help you. Keep reading your scriptures daily with prayer. You should pray t least enough that you can stay moving forward that varies for each person. You cannot pray enough. Even if you prayed in thanks for each breath you take it would not be too much for the Lord to account for. As you get better your prayers will become more compassionate and refined, it is okay to allow your format of prayer to evolve. Eventually you will realize you no longer have to cover up your spiritual stink up with worldly things and also that the Lord will draw you in closer and closer and that he will no longer despise you. Before you smelled and you will notice a difference within that perhaps you were a stinker. A thought you never considered and looking back you will find that your holes are patched up in your vessel. You will still notice there are pock marks and discovered spots where the holes and cracks were but now you are viable and can hold the spirit without leaking it out. Obtaining the spirit is easier now. Remember some sins cannot be fixed without priesthood leaders: sexual sin of any kind requires help. Normal feelings of compulsion are understandable and no one will judge you unrighteously for having attraction for the opposite sex, but pornography is not something that pleases the Lord. We must destroy it or if we ask others to respect the clear boundaries a change might need to happen in ourselves to pray for courage. Regardless of what is needed know that it is us that needs to change and make our way to the Lord (for he is perfect) and becoming like him is what we desire. Only we can control the pace we decide how quickly to recognize the need we truly have for him, Simon Peter: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (John 6:68)Links to an external site. Now after wading through our own worthiness and sin we will start to feel something new, the Lord doesn’t despise us or tolerate us but actually loves us. We are a sweet savor unto him and he desires that we come unto him so he can delight in the fatness of our spirit. You will notice that the alabaster vessel has been renewed and the color matches there is no disfigurement or signs of ugliness but only beauty and now the Lord will be waiting because you must paint the final epitaph. Now the Lord has given you the ultimate gift, “your humanity” because you have a heart that thinks, and knows and feels. But you must write the rest of the story upon your heart because God gave us freewill to make our own destiny. You will see beautiful pots;@ 1:30 PM Our bodies they (like the analogy of the pots/vessels that are decoratively been painted) have been renewed and sanctified some have a luster that is very beautiful and bright. This is comparable to seeing what works (artwork) someone can do within the gospel others have talents unspeakable and some can only draw stick figures on their pots. It does not matter what others think do not let that motivate you. We have eternal life to perfect our talents. All that we can do is if we like what we see then emulate the style of that artist then eventually you will burn brightly as well and develop your own unique style. (@ 1:37PM) There is no limit to the potential of the human soul and you could have been a busted vessel at one point, but look now! “(D&C 18:10) Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;” and you will take notice and see an ugly vessel sitting alone with no beauty and desire to fix it up because that vessel was once you because looking upon yourself is tiresome and it profiteth you nothing to adorn yourself further and further. So then you tell your neighbor of the beauty that they can have and how they may have it. (D&C 15:6) And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most worth unto you will be to declare repentance unto this people, that you may bring souls unto me, that you may rest with them in the kingdom of my father. Amen. (@1:47PM) Eventually if you take too long to realize these things you will end up all by yourself, “a jewel for Satan to snatch” all that over abundant artwork that aggrandizes itself will look good for Lucifer’s art gallery to bring honor and glory to himself. A light out by itself is easy to be snuffed out. But a light atop a hill with many neighbors gathered around it who all love and admire one another in the admonition of the Lord is much easier to defend. (3 Nephi 24:17)Links to an external site.; And further do not become lost in perfection as we read: Isaiah 3:16-17Links to an external site. & 2 Nephi 14:4Links to an external site. & Lamentations 2:1,4,8,10,13,18Links to an external site.; eventually if the daughters of Zion do not gather anymore and only sit idle enjoying waht the Lord has given them and do not go back out to have compassion on the soul that needs healing then God will consecrate to himself only after the realization has been made (Micah 4:10-13). We must remember our true purpose the time is not yet to sit idle. You must be either repenting, gathering souls, and/or building the kingdom; sometime all can be done at the same time.

Dear Future Mathematicians,

Some wonder why math and how does it apply to gospel principles/studies? I’ve been thinking only because others bring up the topic in gatherings. And I gave it some thought (2 Nephi 33:9) scripturally:

I also have charity for the Gentiles. But behold, for none of aLinks to an external site.theseLinks to an external site. can I hope except they shall be bLinks to an external site.reconciledLinks to an external site. unto Christ, and enter into the cLinks to an external site.narrowLinks to an external site. dLinks to an external site.gateLinks to an external site., and eLinks to an external site.walkLinks to an external site. in the fLinks to an external site.straitLinks to an external site. path which leads to life, and continue in the path until the end of the day of gLinks to an external site.probationLinks to an external site..

keeping in mind that Jesus is a point to be reached and the path is strait with a narrow entrance as the gate then there is no way we can make an error on this life (not exactly math) problem! For we are told we must be perfect as our father in heaven is perfect. I have joy to know I am on the covenant path and I hope we all endure to the end so that God can say for each of us well done thou good and faithful servant; and to Christ who set the trail (a trail blazer) say this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. May we walk the path and not fall off and if we do then brothers and sisters are nearby to help just as we may not be so keen at math not everyone is an expert at life (it is our first go at it!) just remember to be kind to others on this journey. Our time here is all we have to prepare to meet God so don’t just reconcile to Christ surrender your heart to him, he will not leave you disappointed.
