RECALL NOTICE

             

               CHOICE LAND OF AMERICA             

                                                                                                By Seventy Nolan W. Glauner

“Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it, shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ who hath been manifested by the things which we have written.” Book of Mormon, Ether 1:35

I considered myself to be blessed to have been born and raised in this free country that has established just laws which provides checks and balances to the governing powers and that are codified and enumerated within the constitution of the United States.

I have lived in six different oriental countries of the Far East during my career with the United States Air Force. I learned to appreciate and understand to some degree their various customs and cultures. What I noticed most while dwelling in these foreign nations was that their citizens did not seem to enjoy quite that degree of individual freedom that we enjoy in our fair land. I also found that a number of those individuals that I had become acquainted with would eagerly come to America if the opportunity presented itself.

It is not by accident that we are blessed to live in the greatest country in the history of the world. It was brought about by the sacrifice and ingenuity of visionary men of conscience who were able to enjoy a freedom of movement that they coupled with their hard work and sweat to build a nation. More importantly, this nation was brought into existence and blessed by our Creator God who inspired those founding fathers to bring forth the constitution. This document if followed would continue this freedom and would be a model for the freedom of all nations.

There have been many who have gone before us who have made sacrifices and sometimes the supreme sacrifice in order to preserve this freedom. All members of our protecting armed forces are sworn to uphold the constitution when they agree to serve.

We who believe this to be a choice land must be vigilant in the preservation of this precious document that forms our nation’s foundation or we shall lose it with our freedom.

God has given us dominion over the earth and all things upon the earth.  It is our responsibility to exercise stewardship for this dominion provided of God, and to consider it our duty to preserve that which has been provided for the good of all mankind.

Our scriptures have warned us that in the last days there would be those who would conspire against the freedoms of all people. This has been mostly put down by those who would destroy the works of righteousness who would usurp, if possible, even god-like authority over an uninformed people. This has been effectively accomplished by casting aspersions upon anyone who even mentions the possibility of the existence of a conspiracy to enslave people. This type of intimidation is akin to that old saying taught to us, by those who seek to exert power over us, to never argue or speak with each other in matters of politics or religion! I have to agree that arguing accomplishes very little if anything, but an informed debate without anger or fear of speaking out is a basic privilege that I personally cherish. We should not allow clichés to govern our actions especially when so important of subject concerns our constitutional government or our belief in the God of all creation. We should not apologize for defending our country or our faith in our God.

We have been adequately warned about secret combinations

BEWARE OF SECRET COMBINATIONS : “And it came to pass that they formed a secret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God; For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.. . .And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed, for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them, and yet he avenge them not; Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shewn unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain, and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you; Yea, even the sword of the justice of the eternal God, shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction, if ye shall suffer these things to be; Wherefore the Lord commands you, when you shall see these things come among you, that you shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you, or woe be to it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who build it up. For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up, seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations and countries; And it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people; for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents; Yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men, that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.”  BoM, Ether 3:92-101

AMERICA TO BRING FORTH ZION,

 A NEW JERUSALEM

“And it shall come to pass that I will establish my people, O house of Israel. and behold, this people will I establish in this land, [America] unto the fulfilling of the covenant which I made with your father Jacob; and it shall be a New Jerusalem.”   3 Nephi 9:57, 58

The Doctrine and Covenants also refers to our constitution as divinely inspired.

“And again I say unto you, Those who have been scattered by their enemies, it is my will that they should continue to importune for redress, and redemption, by the hands of those who are placed as rulers, and are in authority over you, according to the laws and constitution of the people which I have suffered to be established, and should be maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles, that every man may act in doctrine, and principle pertaining to futurity, according to the moral agency which I have given unto them, that every man may be accountable for his own sins in the day of judgment. Therefore, it is not right that any man should be in bondage one to another. And for this purpose have I established the constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.” D&C 98:10d-h

 “. . . and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out my own elect from the four quarters of the earth unto a place which I shall prepare; a holy city, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem               . D&C 36:12f, g

I believe sincerely that God intended for America to become the example for personal freedom and successful government for the whole world.

We have observed that wherever socialism or communist Marxism have been tried, it has failed to insure the freedom of the individual and it has also failed to build a just collective society. Our scriptures indicate that when the Kingdom of Christ is fully realized, we will have a free agency or voluntary not compulsory collective society, but it is to be accomplished by unselfishness and by the love of God and neighbor that is the first and greatest commandment, and not by imposition of a secular government.

I would invite all who read this to offer up their prayers with me for the preservation of our cherished freedoms that our forefathers fought and died to preserve. That freedom which is enjoyed and assured by the Constitution of the United States of America.□

BEWARE OF THE DANGER OF THE END TIME

By High Priest Solomon Adesina,  Cote d' Ivoire, West Africa

As we get closer and closer to the end of the age, the saints who are real saints, who are baptized and having communion with the lord Jesus Christ, need to have an understand of what we call the end times and the preparation needed.
   As we see the daily the economy of the world becoming challenged, and as the economy is very bad, and there is no peace all over the world,  and if we consider all that each of us is going through, we need to understand that some thing greater will soon be happening and the fulfillment of the day of the lord is about to be fulfilled in our days;

“For the day cometh that the Lord shall utter his voice out of heaven; the heavens shall shake and the earth shall tremble, and the trump of God shall sound both long and loud, and shall say to the sleeping nations; Ye saints arise and live; Ye sinners stay and sleep until I shall call again: wherefore gird up your loins, lest ye be found among the wicked. Lift up your voices and spare not.”

D&C 43: 5b, c

  Jesus said, “I know my sheep, the saints and my sheep know me.”

 To work for the kingdom is not easy and to follow him to the end of the ages, we must learn to keep the promises we made and to follow the way of the lord.

Becoming members of the House of God is a grace.   We must be ready to see that the gospel of Christ is followed according to the will of God.
   . . .again the promises are extended to the Gentiles in the precious Book of Mormon,
  “. .
.turn ye Gentiles from your wicked ways. . . that ye may be numbered with my people who are the house of Israel. 3 Nephi 14:2,3
    Let each one who reads this prophesy know that the lord is about to come! Adesina

 


 THE AFRICAN MISSION

                                MISSIONARY OUTREACH TO SCHOOLS 

 

THE ELEYELE RIVER, IBADAN, NIGERIA, WEST AFRICA

The Church of Jesus Christ Restored 1830 was organized in Nigeria on the 11th of September 2005. By the efforts of Elder Albert Adesuyi.

President of Seventy Nolan W. Glauner was the missionary and member of the Acting Presidency of the Church that journeyed to Nigeria for the purpose of setting the African Church into order. This was also done in response to a revelation received by Glauner at Ibadan Nigeria, West Africa, 11 September 2005

An organizing conference was held at Ibadan, Nigeria, West Africa September 10, 2005. The purpose

of the conference was to establish and set in order the Church of Jesus Christ Restored 1830 in Africa.

Local Elders gathered and were joined by Saints from the Ivory Coast to participate in the conference.

One Seventy, three High Priests, two Elders, one Priest, three Teachers and two Deacons were ordained.  Albert Ojo Adesuyi was ordained by President of Seventy Nolan Glauner to the office of Seventy and also set apart as an Agent of the Presiding Bishop at this time.

 To my dear Saints in Africa who have come together by the power of my Spirit; your love for me has not been unnoticed.

  I have heard your earnest prayers and it is my good pleasure to be in your midst.

 Your little ones are very precious in my sight and their ministry is one of great love.

 Continue the direction you have started upon and my light shall gather my wandering sheep back into my fold. Seek them all out, for I do not will that any of my lambs shall be lost.

 You have responded to the call of Brother Albert and I am very pleased with the sacrifices that he has made and the dedication and love he has shared for my scattered Saints.

The forces that scattered you were not of me, but of my old enemy, the Devil. He today is raging in the hearts of those who have forsaken me and he would bring down all he can into the depths of despair.

Do not let him entice you, for you are mine. Walk in that light I have given you and you will not lose your way.

You are witness to the calling of many to act and function in my Holy Priesthood. Uphold them, my children, and they will magnify the work of my Church and my Kingdom unto you.

Seek to understand the sacred principles of the fullness of my gospel that I have delivered to you.

I have said that Zion is no further nor nearer than the Spiritual condition of my people.

Prepare all to receive the fullness of my gospel for it shall roll through the earth as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands.

My Kingdom shall become great like a mighty mountain and it shall fill the whole earth.

 I have appointed Brother Albert to the high calling and office of Seventy in my church and have called him to shepherd my flock until further organization is effected in Africa.

 I have also appointed him to be an agent to my Presiding Bishop and his gifts and talents shall help to bring my church in Africa into a greater understanding of my temporal laws.

I have sent my servant Nolan to you to renew your hope and to share in the vision of the Kingdom. Hold fast to that which you know is true and keep yourselves unspotted from the world.

To those whom I have called to serve me in my priesthood; I have heard the prayers of my servant, Albert in your behalf, and if you will magnify your callings, I will pour out my Spirit

upon you and will give you those gifts and talents to bring much righteousness to my Saints. Persevere my children. If I be for you who can stand against you? Persecutions shall come, but not of me. 

 Call upon me in your need and keep my commandments and I will hear you out of Heaven and will look kindly toward you. You are my dear children of whom I am well pleased.  Amen

THE PRACTICE OF ADMINISTRATION FOR THE SICK

The ordinance of administration  has long been a blessing and a comfort for those calling upon the church of our Lord in their needs.  There have been many healings and also great blessings of comfort when the Elders are called upon to anoint the sick with pure Olive Oil, and pray for their welfare.

 As Elders in the church we must teach our members and friends the benefits of this ordinance. When Jesus called his Twelve Apostles and his Seventies he gave them instructions: “Then he called his twelve disciples together, and he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.” Luke 9: 1,2

Additional Scriptural References:

“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” James 5:14,15

“And again, it is given by the Holy Ghost to some to know the diversities of operations, whether it be of God, that the manifestations of the Spirit may be given to every man to profit withal. And again, verily I say unto you, To some it is given, by the Spirit of God, the word of wisdom; to another it is given the word of knowledge, that all may be taught to be wise and to have knowledge. And again, to some it is given to have faith to be healed, and to others it is given to have faith to heal.” D&C 46:6b-7c

“And whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness with herbs and mild food, and that not by the hand of an enemy.  And the elders of the church, two or more, shall be called, and shall pray for, and lay their hands upon them in my name; and if they die, they shall die unto me, and if they live, they shall live unto me.”  D&C 42:12c, d

NOTE: The church believes in the prophetic gift, but extreme care must be exercised concerning prophesying over the sick, that personal emotions do not get confused with the prompting of the Almighty.

 1. Unto the churches that call themselves by my name write; thus saith the Lord God of Israel; is it because you love me that you call yourselves by my name, or do you think there is magical power in my name?

SMALL SINS

"small sins"

By Priest Axle Fox

 

A common misconception is to perceive some sins as being minor. In truth, the only thing minor about these sins is their immediate consequences. An example is a "little white lie" which poses no noticeable harm. Although it may not affect anyone, it creates room for further transgression. When the sin is committed and not perceived as being worthy of repentance, it is being acknowledged as being acceptable. When these sins are accepted, it becomes easy to be more lenient with further transgressions, such a telling a slightly larger lie, or perhaps a different transgression such as stealing something small. Each time this is repeated, the standard for what is acceptable is lowered slightly more. Eventually, a transgression you once wouldn't dream of committing seems perfectly acceptable, since it is only slightly worse than what was done before. The Lord has stated that he does not look upon sin with the least degree of allowance (D&C Sec 1:5f), and with good reason too. No matter how minor the sin may seem, the Lord does not make concessions for it.

To prevent or even overcome such sins, it is necessary to first recognize any sin, however great or small, as being sin. By actively acknowledging that something is a sin, you give power back to your conscience to persuade you against it. The small concessions will become more uncomfortable to you, and it will be easier to refrain from them. However, this does not guarantee total abstinence from sin, but rather removes an unfair disadvantage so you can make your own decisions without biases. God gave man the right to do anything he wishes, but also with just consequences.

 “Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great mediation of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil”

2 Nephi 1:119-120

 With this freedom, the Lord desires that we should choose him of our own will, rather than being forced to do so (Gen 7:40). It is up to each individual to make the effort to deny sin and choose God, and this choice must be made willingly. If one is forced to seek after God and to follow his commandments, then he does not have his God-given agency, and his forced efforts to do God’s will are in vain. All things that we do must be done of our own will, so that we can be accountable for our own actions.□


RECALL NOTICE

 

The Maker of all human beings ( GOD ) is recalling all units

manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the

primary and central component of the heart.

This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named 

Adam and Eve , resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all

subsequent units.

This defect has been technically termed

'Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality,'  or more commonly known as

S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

  Some of the symptoms include :

1. Loss of direction

2. Foul vocal emissions

3. Amnesia of origin

4. Lack of peace and joy

5. Selfish or violent behavior

6. Depression or confusion in the mental component

7. Fearfulness

8. Idolatry

9. Rebellion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is

providing  factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to

correct this defect.

The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the

entire burden  of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no

additional fee required.

 

The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R .

Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE

procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus,

into the heart component.

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is,  Jesus  will replace it

with:

1. Love

2. Joy

3. Peace

4. Patience

5. Kindness

6. Goodness

7. Faithfulness

8. Gentleness

9.  Self control

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Believers' Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.

  WARNING:  Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction

voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and

problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being

permanently impounded.

For  free emergency service , call on Jesus.

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will

have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted

to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility.

Thank you for your attention!

P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important

recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by 'Knee Mail'.
