2/5/08, From God the Father and Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior. A Letter Given to Timothy, For Jim and Trent, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear.
[God the Father.] Beloved, I have sent Timothy to you on this wise: He is one born out of due time. I have sent him, calling to him by My own voice, for the purpose, whereby his faith would come to grow vigorously from the Vine, according to the same end for which I have appointed him and shall be fulfilled. Therefore, listen to him and help him, as he shall help you. For as he is My husbandman, set over this present vineyard, also shall he be set over that vineyard set in the midst of the storm, to gather the wild grapes which have grown unhindered amongst high walls and amidst all kinds of briars and thorns. Even among this present vineyard has man and the evil of this world already begun to build these thick walls of untempered mortar, yet they stand, held up by human hands, even by those who were deceived by these builders, and now have come to uphold it, thinking it is shelter, even a foundation, the makings of a separation from all that is unseemly to them... yet they perceive not that it is become a prison.
Therefore, My sons, listen and so do. You are also set over this present vineyard as husbandmen, even as friends of the Bridegroom. Go out into the streets, and call the guests to the Wedding, in all manner of speaking and devices, as many of all who will come.
Timothy is sent to tear down these walls, built up by men of pride and vanities, who forsake My Law... help him. For these men, these deceptive builders, seek to tear down My Law, even in the name of Grace...
Blasphemy! Desecration!
[Jesus speaking.] Know and understand, My friends, that which you received in Grace, by Grace, is also that same wisdom you know; and by this you seek to please the Father... in this you do well. Yet what you had received in knowledge is not yet complete, having the progression of this understanding restrained by that same doctrine, of which you have accepted. For those among you, who preach grace in place of the Law, do not know Me... neither I, them. For this is that wall they have built, with the aid of those inside, to bar all those who preach the Law, as a way to keep their freedom... freedom to sin, even in My name!... Making Me the author of sin, whereby they forsake the Law of the Father, in My name, desecrating all I have given them, never having received or known Me at all. So that which they have built as a hedge against the Law, in My name, shall become their prison.
Never underestimate the schemes of the Adversary, My sons.
You are indeed saved by Grace, and were condemned by your works in the transgression of the Law. In this, you have spoken well, and progress quickly toward perfection. And so I have spoken by Timothy, even in all these Letters, to bring your faith to its completion. So now hear and understand: Salvation can, in no wise, depart from you... once received. Therefore, seek to please the Father and keep the Law. For how can one who walks in Me, by grace, also walk in that which had condemned them? Shall My people reach toward Heaven with one hand, but continue to tread the path which leads to destruction? Shall one who loves Me take My hand, and walk beside Me, with only one foot on the good ground and the other in the grave? Therefore, knowledge must increase, and sin decrease, to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. One, who is under grace, bears fruit of the same; and the One, who kept the Law of the Father, revealed that grace by works.
Remember My words, to those who were self-righteous within themselves, and sought to stone Me for My words. Did I not say to them, “Do not believe Me then, but you should at least believe My deeds”?
Beloved sons, I am in the Father, and He is in Me, and We in you. And if I am in you, seek to please the Father, even as I did, and He will be pleased with you, because you seek to follow Me in truth, bearing your cross also, not fearing its weight but embracing it, whereby you become an example, walking into the Kingdom after Me, leading many others also.
So then, grace is first and everlasting.
Then comes works, the first works in faith,
even the first fruits bore in your lives...
which is to love the Father, and one another, by keeping the Law.
Beloved, of these seven days I have commanded Timothy, understand this, of which Timothy has also not understood: I have sent him to you as your servant and not a prophet, though a prophet he remains, even now hearing and writing My words. So he must submit to you, you being his masters, even as I am yours. And likewise will he submit to your wives in all questions. Yet if they refuse to approach him, shall he, being their servant, then call upon them? Therefore, My sons, I have sent you, the instrument, whereby peace can begin in your houses, him being not the one to instigate it, nor even I, for you are the heads of your own houses... you must accomplish peace. Yet if your beloved forebear, you are not free to forsake Me, because of them being a sturdy stone at your feet, keeping you from walking uprightly in Me, causing you to stumble daily, keeping you down, unable to fulfill My purpose in you. Keep going, and by your example will they eventually come into the Truth.
I must be first... trust in Me... serve Me first.
For all who put Me first, by sacrifice,
will receive a multitude of blessings in turn... trust in Me.
My sons, I do require peace in the house of all those who are Mine. Yet how can this be done if I am not first? My sons, teach your wives the Scriptures... they lack knowledge. How can one understand without knowledge? How can one say they are hungry, yet do not devour that Bread in front of them? How can I teach anyone who will not listen? Can one receive understanding of Me without asking? Can one receive that which they think they possess already, though they had never really received? You are My sons and daughters, and will come into My Kingdom, yet your beloved forebear and keep their feet in the world, holding onto their emotional possessions, which have become contrary to Me and that fruit received in Me... leaving them cold and without understanding, lost in confusion. While at the same time, you have begun to burn bright, with the heat of your burning singeing their conscience... this should not be. Therefore, study the Scriptures with them. And Jim, control your anger... this is not of Me. Serve Me, even as I am. Know Me, follow Me, and in time your beloved will also see and grasp your hand...
Trust in Me.
Timothy shall no more speak concerning your beloved. He will only do as you command.
[God the Father.] Beloved, I have sent Timothy to you on this wise: He is one born out of due time. I have sent him, calling to him by My own voice, for the purpose, whereby his faith would come to grow vigorously from the Vine, according to the same end for which I have appointed him and shall be fulfilled.

You are indeed saved by Grace, and were condemned by your works in the transgression of the Law. In this, you have spoken well, and progress quickly toward perfection.
