Transcript of Sabbath Sermon 
April 14 2012
given by
Lawrence A. Nowell

1.) “I can tell by your eyes that you’ve probably been crying forever,” 6,000 years since Adam and Eve God’s been crying trying to work with us, “and the stars in the sky don’t mean nothing to you, they’re a mirror.” Stars in the sky mean nothing; all the churches of God don’t wait for the star, the sun to put its shadow on the earth.

2.) “I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart. If I preach to you a little bit longer; if I preach, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?”

3.) This is The Obedient Church of God broadcasting worldwide from www.theworldtomorrow.org and www.forthenations, for the whole world .com, “www.forthenations.com.” 

4.) We don’t want to have to tell you about it, but you’re breaking God’s heart. “I don’t want to speak about it, how you broke God’s heart. If I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart?”

5.) Bonjour Paree, France, sez sez hours apres midi le houre du dinier au France. 6 P.M. suppertime in Paris; 9 A.M. on the West coast in L.A.; 12 noon on the East coast in New York. Breakfast time, lunch time, suppertime, the perfect time for our spiritual feeding today to learn more of God’s truth. 

6.) “We don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart. If I preach to you a little bit longer, if we preach won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart.”

7.) Yes indeed. Welcome to The Obedient Church of God. Today is the 14th day of April, Aviv 22, and we are after the seventh-day on Unleavened Bread yesterday. We are starting out fresh now unleavened. 

8.) Have we got a dynamite service for you, I can’t believe how it gets better all the time. Today we’re going to explain about the sins of the father visited on the children and what happened there. 

9.) And we’re going to explain to you about the two groups of the 144,000. You’ll find that very interesting and the proofs that there are two groups of 144,000. That’s another rediscovered truth from The Obedient Church of God. 

10.) And we’ll be talking about cardinal obedience so that now you have been washed up for the Days of Unleavened Bread, unleavening yourself, you can now maintain your purity.
11.). I’ve got a ton of folders here. Today they are about 8 inches high. And I’m going to pick the right one as the Spirit leads us. 

12.) Now to open services The Obedient Church of God first opens with prayer, not songs, prayer first as we present our offering after we introduce ourselves. Please rise, face the North Heaven, hands raised, head bowed, eyes closed. 

13.) “All mighty, most loving heavenly Father, thank you for all of you plan, thank you for the days on unleavened bread, so we can learn to be like you, so that we can stop sinning, so that we can examine ourselves so that we can see that sin is transgression of the law, and that we must repent from everything that we find that we are doing wrong. 

14.) “So help us and help the others, especially the others. We are no better than the others, but the others are just heading, “heading” straight to hell. So Father help them to understand that they have to follow your words. Sin is transgression of the law, and they’ve got to stop sinning. All right Father.

15.) “Now for our brethren in Pakistan, look after them, the 200 plus, as always. Bless their seventh-day of Unleavened Bread because they are having it today because they are 22 hours behind us with the shadow of your sun. Father, please bless their services.  

16.) “And protect them, indeed, it was horrible. Eight of the were killed four years ago by a mob of a thousand, and they are devout. They follow you every jot and title. Thank you for them. Help us to teach them. Thank you that they follow every jot that we teach. 

17.) “So Father, now, we ask you to inspire the services, both the hearing and the speaking, and especially in the video tapes when the people are listening to the tapes. Please inspire their hearing. Most of the people tune in on those tapes.

18.) “So now Father we turn this service over to your hands, and we thank you for this beautiful glorious day, and all the blessings and the peace that we have here, and the ability to preach your word with power, truth, and sincerity of the word.

19.) “We ask it all in Yeshua ha Mashiac's holy, righteous name, our soon arriving King, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

20.) Now that we are in the Throne Room, the first thing we want to do is to praise Father. Take your 1934 Hymnal, and we want you to sing out, and we don’t want you to be embarrassing yourself in front of Father. These are prayers we are giving to Father, petitions to Father in songs. 

21.) The first one, page number 35, “In Distress I called to God.” These are our 1934 beautiful fuchsia Hymnals for camera one, camera two, and camera three. We want to sing out all together in unison. These words are the 120th and 121st Psalms, a petition to Father, very special. All sing out.

22.) Yes indeed, you prayed and sang out to Father, “Save my soul from lying lips and deceitful tongues.” 

23.) I’m going to have to mention about what one minister preached yesterday. He’s turning into Joel Osteen where he said that Christ will do it all for us. It doesn’t work like that. 

24.) Sin is the transgression of the law. Better stop sinning. Better stop transgressing the law. I just want to let you know. Father won’t do that for you. He doesn’t want to make you into robots. 

25.) “To The Hills I’ll Lift Mine Eyes,” page number 39. That’s from whence comes our help. So you are telling Father your help is coming from Him, and you are thanking Him for it. Page 39, page 95 in other hymnals. “To The Hills I’ll Lift Mine Eyes,” the 121st Psalm. All sing out to Father. 

26.) Amen to that. We  praise Father for keeping us for evermore. 

27.) Now for the third hymn, its very, very important. “Unless The Lord Shall Build The House,” page number 61; page number 96 in other hymnals.

28.)  And we are out to get the hymnal numbers of the United Church of God, the Living Church of God, because we have some of their members that are turning in and I’m sure that would make it easier for them to find the songs. 

29.) Now turn to page number 61, “Unless The Lord Shall Build The House,” that means every jot and title of Yah, and no jot or title of men, and not any sinister that changes the laws, nor any rabbi. Rabbis are just clerks, it’s the Lord who builds the house. 

30.) Yes, indeed, children are the gift of God. Today in the sermon we are going to explain the truth about the iniquities of the sins that are visited upon the children to the second and the third generations. Very important for you to understand. Yes, children are the gift of God. 

31.) And if you build the house, give you a hint, if you build the house correctly then the sin won’t be visited on the second and third generation. 

32. But first, we’ve got to give you some of the information of what is going on in the announcement section. We have a prayer request. We want you all to be praying this week for Michael Stites. He’s a long time friend and he is suffering from a glandular infection that was diagnosed as being caused by an ear infection. 

33.) And he needs our prayers in order to bring down the swelling behind his lymph nodes and behind his ears. That is classic, “classic,” of an ear infection that over several ear infections, the lymphatic system not being able to handle that. So its right behind the ears. So he needs our prayers for Father to heal him.

34.) He’s doing all he can, he has been a good steward of his body, now why do good stewards of their bodies end up having these problems? Answer. So that God can show us that He has to be relied on. And we can’t do it on our own. 

35.) Oh yes, eat properly. Exercise properly. But sometimes after doing that 20-30 years, we get the idea that we are looking after ourselves just fine and that we don’t really need that much of God’s healing.

36.)  Well, lo and behold, I know of incidents where people have been living rightly and cleanly, taking correct foods and exercise, and they still get some kind of malady. Answer, because God wants you to rely on Him, and not just on your own strength. And He’ll heal you of it and everything will be fine. And you can go on for another 20-30 years. 
                                                            *  *  *
37.) We want you to know that we learn all of these truths from the 80 books of the Bible. That’s right. The eighty books of the Bible. Did you know that it was in the 16th century punishable by death to take out 14 books and end up with 66 books. It was punishable by death.

38.) There were eighty books until the Catholic Church got involved with their Apocrypha and all the consternation they caused. The people didn’t want the Catholic style so the people “threw the baby out with the bath water,” and they ended up with sixty-six books. But we use the eighty books. We learn a lot of things from the eighty books.

39.)   Before we get into the two groups of 144,000, we’ve got to get the announcements out to you so you know what’s going on regarding your civil liberties, which are toast. “Your civil liberties are toast,” so you’ve got to watch yourself. 

40.) I’m  going to make this as clear as I can for the sound system. And this is, how can I phrase this nicely? This is basically according to the ACLU, American Civil Liberties Union, I’ll just say that this is something that is not off the wall. These facts are by people who are quite normal, and they are worried, “are worried” sick because Big Brothers is getting bigger and bigger and bigger.  

41.) And don’t you go around saying that God will protect you and you just walk off of the edge of the cliff. You try to cover up the attention that the government pays on you right now, you try to cover up your tracks on the Internet, you go to start page.com. Start out with start page.com, which does not record your I.D. address, “it does not record your I. D. address.” 

42.) And get off of Google. Google is developing profiles on everyone, and integrating the profiles with Face Book. And the thing that is happening now is that people all are on Face Book talking to their friends. The government knows exactly who your friends are and everything about you, because you’ve blabbed it all on Face Book.

43.) Well, I’m on Face Book. How many friends do I have? Just the ones I know the Government already knows about. The ones  I know the government already knows about, they’re in my catalogue of friends. 

44.) The ones the government doesn’t know anything about, will never be on my Face Book, and we’ll correspond, sometimes, through the “snail mail.” 

45.) The point is that we want you to be safe. You remember Ann Frank? She lived because she hid herself behind a wall, and she was able to see what the actions of the authoritarian regime ended up in. She ended up in being a witness to their evil.

46.) You can end up being a witness of Satan’s evils also if you do not get picked up, don’t get put in a FEMA Camp, and draw attention to yourself. Do you want to see Christ returning in the clouds? Of course, you do. Well, you can’t see Him returning in the clouds if your head is chopped off, or if you’re locked up in a solitary FEMA Camp.
‘
47.) So, I’ll read you this article to tell you what’s going on so you can keep out of trouble. It starts off this is a summation of very many articles. And by the way the Constitution is shredded, “the Constitution is shredded.” Habitués corpus is shredded. Consticomitadas is shredded. 

48.) You’re going to be locked-up, kept in jail for as long as they want without any charge at all, without access to a lawyer. And this is all set up for the New World Order. You are witnessing it. 

49.) Government surveilance, and attacks on the privacy of the American citizens were bad enough under the Bush regime, they’re getting even worse during the Obama regime. 

50.) In addition to retaining, “in addition to retaining” Bush’s many excesses, due to the Patriaot Ace, which is a Gestapo Act, their is nothing patriotic about it. It goes against all of the Constitution. Well, new information about civil liberties is coming out during the era of Obama.

51.) And the Supreme Court added judicial insults to personal injury on April 2nd this month, only a couple of days ago, when the Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that jail officials may strip search any one arrested for any offence, even a trifle.

52.) That means that if you get a speeding ticket, and you get in an argument with the officer, he’ll arrest you, and he can strip search you for any offence, even if you are awaiting a hearing or a trial, you can be strip searched, cavity searched.
   
53.) Four ultra-conservative judges were joined by Justice Anthony Kennedy. Now according to the ACLU, American Civil Liberties Union, Stephen R. Schapiro's, that’s a Jewish name, decision jeopardizes privacy rights of millions of people who are arrested each year, often for minor offences, be forced to strip naked as a humilating experience that no one should have to endure. 

54.) Why are they doing this? I’ll interject here. Because they want you to march in lock-step to every order so that when they question you, they talk to you, you are scared spitless, and that you give them all the information, you rat out all the information on your friends, you give them everything they want because you’re worried what they are going to do against you. 

55.) I even know people who won’t fly the airlines anymore, they take cars or trains because they do not want to be so intimidated, “so intimidated.” I tell you. Don’t touch us! We’re not your slaves. We’re not your cattle. We’re not your chattle. Don’t you touch us. Get your hands off us you New World Order Satanists in every airport. 

56.) Putting your hand down the pants of ninety-year old men, and ninety-year old women, and three-year- old children. We’re not your slaves. Get your hands off us, Satanists. 

57.) You are imposing that New World Order view on me that I’m guilty of something. I’m not guilty of anything. Get your hands off me. Stop enslaving me. Stop taking away my soul. Stop trying to cow-tow us. This mind, psychological warfare. That’s what it’s about. Getting the people quiet, to be dumbed-down. 

58.) I’ll tell you straight out. Airports are psychological warfare against you. It’s indoctrination to effect a massive transformation of your attitudes and beliefs that the government can do anything they want to you.

59.) Even the Nazi didn’t strip-search everyone, “even the Nazi” didn’t do that. The indoctrination is to effect a mass transformation of beliefs to destroy your free-thinking patterns, to brain-wash you so that you don’t resist the future New World Order. 

60.) Let me tell you, any incidents that happened regarding terrorism in the United States, were done by the government. They actually recruited people and gave people explosives. Even the “underwear bomber” was escorted through customs, because he was too stupid to get through customs, by the FBI and put on the plane. These are all spy operations, worse than the Nazi’s.

61.) Remember I told you yesterday the Nazi did not lose the war, they just moved it over to the United States. Hitler’s goal was to have the New World Order, the 1000 year reich. Well, he moved that over to the United States, Operation Paper Clip.

62. So, back on to our article here. Now that I’ve shown you that you want to resist. And by the way the people in the Ghetto in Germany, lived longer than the people that went on the box cars and complied. The people that took up arms and fought and escaped, some of them did escape, stayed to the hills. 

63. We’re supposed to fight and escape to the hills. So don’t give me this Pacifist stuff that you are supposed just to comply with Satan. You are not. You’re supposed to stay alive and witness Christ coming in the air, and avoid being locked-up in a concentration camp, being locked up in a FEMA Camp, and avoid being tracked with your every movement.

64.) Now let me tell you something more here. This strip-search outrage, and even before that even happened, the strip-search outrage, where now we get a speeding ticket and can be stripped naked, the New York Times reported that law enforcement tracking of cell phones is so widely a surveilance tool, all of the local police officials, hundreds of departments, large and small, are using it with no court oversight, no documents, and they are tracking the people and providing a hunting ground to learn your contacts and your travels.

65.) Their abuses have been muted on civil liberties reported on March 23rd. Obama Administration has extended the time, the National Counter-Terrorism Center and other anacronym NCPT can collect and hold on to records of U. S. citizens and residents from 180 days to five years.

66. So now it’s five years of anybody that they want to. The new NCTP guidelines, which were approved by Attorney General Eric Coulter, this was on March 23rd, will give the intelligence community much broader access to informations about Americans retained in various government data bases. 

67.) Authorizing the temporary retention of non-terrorism citizens, you don’t have anything to do with terrorism, you are no problem, no treat, you’re just a normal guy going about his business, five years resident information, “residential information five years,” and it removes the restraint. Here’s the key, it removes the restraint against the wholesale collection of our personal information by the government and puts all Americans, that puts all Americans at risk of unjustified scrutiny, “of unjustified scrutiny.”
68.) The unfettered collection risks reviving the Bush Administration’s total information awareness program, which Congress killed in 2003. 

69.) And don’t you say that I don’t do anything wrong, it doesn’t matter if they collect information on me. Yes it does, because the cops routinely prosecute the wrong person. It’s like they’re going into a cat house, a brothel, and Candy isn’t available, so they’ll take Jane.

70.) Well, the cops do the same thing. If they can’t find the criminal they want, they’ll take the next closest one just to make their arrest records look good. So you haven’t done anything, but you look the same, you’ve got the same profile as your neighbor, so they’ll arrest you, and throw you in jail. You are totally innocent.

71.)    Can’t take Candy, they’ll take Jane. They don’t care. They’ve got to make their records look good. That’s why you see all these innocent men in prison in the black community. Well, for most Americans life as we know it has ended, “ended.” 

72.) I’m going to paraphrase this article because there’s too many pages long  here. And new information was uncovered about Washington’s death time about the Patriot Act. And most Americans are only aware of the public version of the act of the Bush Administration’s perfidious law passes by Congress. 

73.) But the White House, and its leaders in Congress, and the Justice Department have a secret understanding of the wider uses of the Patriot Act, the Gestapo’s Act.I’ll tell you what it is. Everyone who doesn’t give homage to the Beast Power, they want to know what religion you are, what denomination you are. They know who your friends are, so they can assume what your religion is. 

74.) So that when you have to give homage to the Beast and not buy or sell, they can come beating on the door and lock you up, because they know your religious affiliations. 

75.) They’re retaining all the documents about every resident in the United States for another five years. Before it was only 180 days. And it’s sweeping worldwide. 

79.) The NDAA , that’s the National Defense Authorization Act, watch out for this act. It’s sweeping worldwide indefinite detention, allowing the U.S. military to jail foreigners and U. S. citizens without charge or without trial. 

80.) Did you know that Canada has a treaty with the United States that allows the United States military to enter Canada at any time regarding suspect persons. How do you like that? 

81.) The U. S. military can now enter other countries. Well, the NDA Act contains worldwide indefinite detention and can jail anyone. 

82.) I’ve got a comment here that one magazine revealed details about how the national security agency is quietly building the largest spy center in the country in Bluffdale, Utah. Well, it’s up to the Beast Power. Orwell’s world.of 1984. 

83.) In Europe Jane Mansfield wrote that NSA has established listening posts throughout the U. S. to collect and sift through billions of E’mail messages, and your phone calls, whether they are in the United States or whether they are overseas. 

84.) And the Utah surveilance center will contain an enormous data base to store all forms of communication collected by the agencies, by the NSA, and the NSA previously denied that domestic spying was taking place. Now they are admitting they are sifting through billions, billions of E-mail messages. 

85.) Just to help you out here. Don’t put any sensitive words into the subjects of your E-mail messages. And don’t give out addresses. You know, if you’ve got a place, call it the farm, “call it the farm.” Don’t name the city that it’s in, just call it “the farm.” Use your brain. 

86.) They are deliberately collecting all this information, to bring in the New World Order and to harm you, lock you up. You want to see Christ return? Don’t put any information in your E-mails. Use generalized terms. Your friends will know what you mean by “the farm.”

87.) The article states that we are a hair away from a turn-key totalitarian state. And the Associated Press has been “dogging” the New York  Police Department  to uncover its, the New York Police Department’s domestic spying.

88.) On March 23 it was reported, this is the Associated Press, this isn’t anything off the wall, that the undercover New York Police Department officers attended meetings of liberal political organizations for years. They kept an intelligence file on activists who plan protests around the country, according to interviews and documents that show how police have used counter-terrorism to monitor every, even law-ful activities.   
 
89.) I’m telling you that your church group has infiltrators in it, at least one some-where, because that’s their method of modus operendi to have an infiltrator in every group.

90..) And all of these snooping activities took place across the country, even  down in New Orleans, not just New York. And commenting on the new guide lines to allow Washington to retain your private information, which it has no right to because you are supposed to have security of person according to the Constitution, unless you have committed a crime.
91.) The satirical, ironic New York Times commented on March 26th, if you are guilty of no crimes, never owed any money, don’t have a name similar to someone whose been in trouble or owed money, and there are absolutely no computer glitches in the government’s ancient computer system during the next five years, then you’ve got nothing to worry about. If, “if, if.” So you’ve got a lot to worry about. 

92.) So this was said rhetorically, and even if you are not guilty of a crime, nor owed any money, you’re in that space and you will be pulled up for your beliefs. And that’s what that data base is really about. Your beliefs, your friends; they’ll know who is against the New World Order, who is against the Beast, whose against, I’ll say it, the newly revised Catholic Church, it’s the “man of sin.”

93.)   And you might see Ratzinger even resign in order to bring in the last Pope. We’ll be watching on that one.

94.) So your only recourse to protect yourself is to cover up your messages with words like “farm” and not address, and on topics you can use words regarding the topics. 

95.) Now, I wanted to get that one out right at the front to all of the people out there, so if I get locked up, somebody else can carry on. “somebody else can carry on” because I’m out front here and if somebody else gets carries on and gets locked up, then somebody else can carry on for The Obedient Church of God.

96.) The point of all this is that a network, such as ours, cannot be stopped. It is God’s network. So, keep yourself invisible. And you can take over my job because I’m not invisible right now. The only thing that is protecting me is God. It’s amazing. 

97.) Woe betide to anyone who rats out one of God’s servants because God is dealing with The Obedient Church of God. 

98..) We’ll be telling you about the two loaves if we have time for that, but first I
want to tell you about the brown shirts. They are a military organization. You know that Obama has his own army, “his own army” of white shirts, exactly the same as the brown shirts. 

99.) Hitler didn’t lose his goal. His goal was to have the New World Order, and it’s just been moved over to the United States. And the TSA at the airports, their expanding their reach on to buses and trains. And the TSA goons seem to be quite happy with the erosion with the most essential rights protected by the Constitution. 

100.) Well, maybe someone should remind them to what happened to ths SA after Hitler didn’t need them anymore. What happened to the SA who had all that information? Hint. They were all exterminated. Yes. Because they knew too much. The information gatherers knew too much that could be used against Hitler. So Hitler had them all exterminated.

101.) So all you olds listening to this broadcast out there, you’ll be exterminated. Once the New World Order get through with you, so they can’t have their New World Order footprints tracked, by your work or your being a whistle blower.

102.) TSA has unleased many, many exercises,  massive coordinated exercises, just between multitple agencies on June 16, 2011, over 300 military and law enforcement agents conducted and exercised over a hundred mile portion of the Ohio Valley. 

103.) This included inspections of oil facilities, oil complexes, and involved helicopters, air craft outfiffed with reconisence gear, emergency patrol boats. Now theyv’e got the Coast Guard involved with a division of natural resources,
they’ve got the parks board involved. I’m telling you. 

104.) Ann Frank couldn’t even survive because they’ve got surveilance over the houses. They could pick up the heat of Ann Frank’s body behind the wall. This is a continuation of Satan’s plan regarding Hitler having the New World Order. Not going to continue with any more of that announcement, but it is so important.

105.) That someone can take over when I’m locked up, and keep yourself out of sight on the Internet. Therefore, you will be able to carry on. 

106.) Now what about sin? What about the sins of the Father being visited on the children? What are we going to do about that one? So we’ve gone through the days of unleavened bread. Wonderful. We’re all free of sin now, we’re all unleavened. 

107.) What are you going to do about the scripture that says the sins of the Father are upon the children to the third and fourth generation. What are you going to do about that? Thought you were unleavened. And what are you going to do about thatl? We’ve got the answer for you.

108.) First, we’re going to explain to you. We should look it up, pull it out of the computer here. Sins of the father upon the third and fourth generation for the new listeners out there. 

109.) Sins of the father visited upon the third and fourth. Now in order to get that pulled up, I put the word Bible in front of it when you are doing your search. And it will bring up the Bible references of those words. I was trying to narrow this down, because its got too many words there.

110.) Numbers 14:18, “The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love, forgiving sin and rebellion, yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished. He punishes the children for the sin of the father to the third and fourth generation.” 

111.) Oh. Oh. Your’re unleavened. But now what? You are going to get punished for the third and fourth generation. Oh. Oh. What does that mean? Luckily we’ve got the answer for you.

112.)  We’ve got the answer for you. Here’s the answer. With families that are sinning, there is a snowball effect. When certain families ways, you could look at the ghetto areas of the largest cities, they become a family of murderers. Father was a murderer, the father was a gang-banger, the sons become gang-bangers. That’s visiting the iniquity.

113.) Now here’s the good news. There’s more to it than that. I’m just giving you the premise here. The Yeshua interrupted this curse, this curse of Numbers 14. Yeshua interrupted the curse. How did He do this? 

114.) Because Yeshua called out certain individuals to be obedient. And, therefore, this curse was interrupted for those whose parents were saved, by those parents who were Christian. 

115.) That is to say that a child of obedient righteous parents does not carry the sin from his parents, because he is not murdering or stealing like his father or his relatives are stealing from, because his parents are within the Church of God that is following every jot and title and the curse has been interrupted by Yeshua. 

116.) What has happened here is your father’s sins were passed down to your children, your sins are passed on to your children, and your children’s children. Now you can understand how this thing starts to take on a snowballing effect.

117.) You have your grandparent’s ways, your parent’s ways, and your ways. Your child has all of your ways, plus any he or she might commit, and your grand father’s sins that you learned from your grandfather.

118.) Your grandfather smoked, so you smoked. Your grandfather overate and was big and fat, and the whole family is big and fat, so you’re big and fat.The sins are passed on to the next generation until Yeshua enters the picture. And then you change it.You break the tradition.

119.) You break the tradition of alcoholism that you learned from your father.You break the tradition of gluttony that you learned from your father. We begin to see how the sins, if you don’t break the tradition, become more and more and more to overcome. 

120.) Remember when your grandmother said, your parent’s grandmother said,  “I don’t know what’s going to become of this generation. It’s just awful the way we have such disrepect for our parents.” Oh, just look at it now. Children are shooting their parents. It’s gotten worse. The sins have been passed down from the third and fourth generation. 

121.) But, Yeshua can stop it by that family living every jot and title, and stop being alcoholic, stop being foodaholics, stop being mean, stop being liars, then the child has a chance. Now the child has a chance. 

122.) The child only has to deal with his own sinful nature, so we see what we know as preacher’s kids who the preacher has everything right. He has a clean household, has a healthy household, no alcoholism, no smoking, no dope, no abuse, no vile language. 

123.) Then the kid doesn’t have sins visited on him from the third and fourth generation because the preacher has cleaned that all up in his preacher’s household. What happens? The kid still has his own sinful nature and an inclination towards sin and the desires of the flesh, even though his parents were pure.

124.) So you can be saved from Numbers 14:18 by your parents cleaning up your act. And it is not going to be visited upon the third and fourth generation, for the sins of the fathers to the third and fourth generation. 

125.) Your grandfather smoked and then your father smoked and you smoke. And that’s how you pass on the sins. It’s a life style. Your grandfather was a heavy drinker, an alclholic, your grandfather was, your relatives are big drinkers. 

126.) I have friends of different nationalities that really know how to drink. And when we got together, it was party time. It use to be that if you fell forward, you were not drunk, if you fell backwards, you were drunk. Because, if you fell forward, you could trip and fall forward, but not if you fell backwards. That’s talking about some heavy drinking. I mean a whole 26 for yourself; we’re talking about 12 beer also, or a couple bottles of wine. 

127.) All right. You learn that. Those are the sins of the father are taught to the children, and the children get punished for the sins of the fathers and their life style.That’s what Numbers 14:18, because it would be unfair of Father to punishing someone who has repented. 

128.) So I’m showing you Numbers 14:18, which no one else has ever told you this before. You learned this from The Obedient Church of God. Another restored truth from the Bible. 

129.) Because Father being a righteous God, someone who sees Father has cleaned up and washed with Christ’s blood, will not be punished for the sins of the third and fourth generation. There you go. Therefore, this explains it for you.

130.) Now you have to change your behavior pattern, even if you are a preacher’s kid. You’ll have to change, because your interests will have to change. 

131.) If you’re a glutton, you’ll have to change to a spiritual life style from a physically gluttonous life style. There’s no way around it. If you are 200 pound overweight, you’re a glutton. No question about it. And you actually have to be spiritally deleavened physically down to a normal weight.

132.) Now I would weigh about 400 to 500 pounds if I didn’t do heavy exercises where you sweat where you are dripping wet. Because I’ve gone up to 2 and a quarter, 225 pounds about, five times now, and then I’ve gotten back down to 165. So I’ve lost about 55 pounds, 60 pounds five times. That’s 300 pounds I’ve lost. Plus my own weight, which now, a hard winter, I’m 194, I’m going to get down to 165.

133.)  And before Passover I was at 220 pounds. So now I’m down to 194.Lost 26 pounds in the last two months. And this time I’m going to keep it off. I keep saying that. But this is a sinner that repents and keeps repenting. You don’t stay  up at weighing in at 275 pounds for ten years. You’re not trying if your weight doesn’t fluctuate. And it’s not good for your weight to fluctuate. We all know that. Mine has fluctuated five times, and this time I’m going to try to get down to 155. which is my perfect boxing weight and I will try to stay there. So that’s how you do it.

134.) You need to change your interest from food. So how did I change my interest? Well, I changed it to juices.and distilled water. That’s what I changed it to. Instead of having two chicken legs, which are very nice, I’ll have one chicken leg. So last night I had one chicken leg. Not 2, not 4, one.

135.) Now, the Sabbath is a feast day.so you can have yourself a treat every now and then.on the Sabbath Have you favorite as much as normal, normally you would. Soi I can have the two chicken legs on the Sabbath or whatever is normal. But I want to lose weight now, so I had one chicken leg.

136.) The point here: you must change., “you must change.” You must not be enslaved by the flesh. You shall not be enslaved by the flesh. because Father gave you the power to overcome. And you’ve got the Holy Spirit. And if you’re not overcoming, then one of two things: you’ve not got the Holy Spirit or you are not using it. Well, most people are using it, so I suggest you get rebaptized if you can’t overcome.

137.) To change your must not be held captive by the flesh. So let‘s give you a remedy, a remedy to help you overcome if you’ve got God‘s Spirit.                                                                   (1.) You have got  to realize your calling to be holy. This is after the seven days of unleavened bread; you are all deleavened now. You want to get your weight down. You want to look after yourself during the next year. Do this because you are supposed to be an example to everybody else, to everyone else. When they see you and talk to you, your language and your persona, your wit should be an example to everyone else. And to help you point one, realize you are holy. 

(2.) There are benefits to holy living. 

(3.) You are to walk in victory with Christ Jesus showcasing Him. You are showcasing Yeshua. When they look at you, they see what Yeshua looks like. You have got to be convinced of this. You’ve got to be convinced of this that you are holy and that the Holy Spirit dwells in you and you’ve got to demonstrate the way of life as a visual example of holiness and Godly living, not gluttony, not alcoholism, not anger, but Godly living. 

138.) Now the point of all this is we’ve got to clean up all year around and not be ending up so that, You know, when you were born, you didn’t have any sins, and any thing that you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. You were born clean, relatively, except for original sin, and we’re not going to get into that. You were born without all these problems. 

139.)You caused these problems. You did it. You. “You. You.” Your own lusts of the flesh, especially if you are a preacher’s kid. And you had a good clean home and a clean upbringing, you did it to yourself. You got yourself into the mess you are in today. 

140.) Now, what does Colossians 3:2 tell us? How did it get started? Question. How did it get started? Answer. “Set your affection on things above, not things on the earth.” 

141.) Not on the food that is on the earth, not the alcohol that’s on the earth, not the lust of the eyes, on the blatant pornography that is on most of the T.V. channels that are situation comedies now, and they have all these innuendos. Turn them off. Don’t listen to them. They are filled with sexual inuendos. 

142.) I hadn’t listened to them for a number of year, turned it on three, four weeks ago when I was aligning the dish, satellite dish for local channels and I was abhorred with all the sexual inuendos. So, don’t watch them.Turn it off.

143.) “Set you affection on things above.” That’s how you get started. 

144.) How are you going to appear before Yeshua if you weigh 275 pounds? What are you going to do? You’re supposed to be an example to Him, not an embarrassment to Him.

145.) Let’s go on. We’ve give you the points for you’re being holy, and that you want to see yourself as being holy. And you don’t want to be enslaved by the flesh. You don’t want to be held captive by the flesh. And realize your calling, the benefits of being holy. 

146.) Now, what about slavery? What about Paul? Here’s a sidebar about Paul.

147.) Sidebar: Paul was blinded on the road to Damascus, and he, Paul, had to be led around for a short period. 

148.) I’m going to give you this parallel. You’ve been blinded by sin. And The Obedient Church of God is going to have to lead you around for a short period of time to get it into your head that you are not going to be moving the Sabbath Day to the sixth-day in half of the world. Just like the Catholic Church moved the Sabbath Day to the first day of the week. 

149.) You are just going to have to go with The Obedient Church of God’s knowledge. You are going to have to go with The Obedient Church of God’s knowledge that there isn’t any Sky Father’s Day, there isn’t any Mother-goddess Day for you to participate in. 

150.) And all the days of the gods, goddesses, and the Turkey-god Day of Osiris-Ra. The Cosmic goose laid the egg that Osiris-Ra sprang from, from the goose that gives its life for its young, and the Pawnee Indians revere at their festival for three days. The same as Bradford had three days. You’ve got to give that all up.

151.) You’ve got to go with The Obedient Church of God so that we can lead you, because you are blinded right now. You’re blind. 

152.) Now, Paul realized he was under the hand of almighty God. Now let me give this as a warning. Paul knew that if he had any hope of ever seeing again, he better start following instructions.

153.) Here’s the parallel: Paul was blinded. He had to be led around. You’re blinded. You have to be led around. If you have any hope of seeing again, you better follow instructions. 

154.) Now one of the things a man in Paul’s time readily recognized was power, the exercise of power. Now Paul was a powerful man, “powerful man” of the Sanhedrin. But Paul had to be led around for a period of time, for a short period of time in order for him, Paul, to get his head screwed on straight again.
       
155.) You are going to have to be led around by The Obedient Church of God; no Mother-goddess Day, no Sky Father’s Day, no Turkey-god Day, no moving the Sabbath Day to the sixth-day, no “potential visibility.” You have to be led around until you get your head screwed on straight, like Paul.
156.) It doesn’t matter who you are. Remember I said, You’ve got to serve somebody. You could be a doctor, you could be a chief, you can be a preacher, but you’ve got to serve somebody, either the Devil or God: gods and goddesses of all these Devil Days to participate in.

157.) Now Paul was accustomed to authority. He was accustomed to authority, but he had to submit, “he had to submit, he had to submit.” Paul was in the top positions of the Sanhedrin. And if you don’t submit, what happened to Paul? 

158.) Paul, as you know, was accosting the Christians. He was going after and bashing the Christians, to the people who were obedient Paul was bashing them. What happened?  Judas accosted Paul. Judas grabbed  hold of Paul. What did Jesus say though? Paul why persecuteth thou me? 

159.) Jesus didn’t say, Why persecuteth thou my followers? Jesus said, “Why persecuteth thou me? The followerers of Yeshua were following every jot and title. Jesus accosted Paul, because Jesus knew that His followers bein accosted was the same as Jesus being accosted. 

160.) So, don’t dare go against The Obedient Church of God. You can see the pattern here of Jesus saying, “Why persecuteth thou me?” He didn’t say, Why persecuteth my followerer? So there’s a “head-up” for you. Very important.

161.) So now you know that the sins of the fathers on the children third, fourth generation will not be visited on you, because you’ve been cleaned up by God and Christ’s blood. 

162.) And that the many sins of the third and fourth generation apply to your grandfather, great- grandfather being a smoker or a drinker, and your grandfather was a smoker and a drinker.Your father is a smoker and a drinker and you have become a smoker and a drinker. The sins of every generation just being passes down one generation to another in a snowball effect.

163.)  Now you know that you are cleaned up after the seven days of unleavened bread, and that Numbers 14:18 is explained to you properly.

164.)  In conclusion, Paul’s interests were no longer in the comforts of this world. He didn’t care about the creature comforts anymore. He has in prison, ship-wrecked, he had no home.

165.) Even Yeshua who was a very rich man. He was a very rich man because His family was rich and Uncle Joseph of Arimathea had a merchant line of king ships and they traveled the world. And Yeshua and Mary had all of the gold from the wise men, probably a hundred wise men bringing them the three gifts. They were rich, “rich, rich.” They traveled the world in Joseph of Arimathea’s fleet of ships. And Yeshua gave that all up. So did Paul. His interests were not set on things of this world. 

166.)  And you should not be set on the things of this world or on gluttony. You’ve got to change. You’ve got to be changed and not be held captive by the flesh year after year. Now you know you can be of slavery to focus on sins, to alcoholism, to smoking and you just keep on trying, “and trying, and trying.” You will succeed.   
                                                        *  *  *
167.) Now we’ve got enough time for us to tell you about now that you are through the days of unleavened bread, that you are going to be in the groups of 144,000. New discovered truth for you. 

168.) There are two groups of 144,000. Two groups. And this involves the wave sheaf offering. Now we want to explain to you. Read Leviticus 23, let’s read it together, somewhere around 17. Somewhere in Leviticus 23. Now read it together with us, so the new listeners can know what this is all about. 

169.) Leviticus 23:17, “You shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two tenths of an ephah, and they shall be of fine flour, and they shall be baked ) 

170.) Now, verse 20, “The priest shall wave them with the bread of first fruits as a wave offering.” Let’s try to explain this to you. This is very important if you want to be saved, if you want to be part of the 144,000. So you want to be able to understand this. 

171.)  It's a bundle of grain amounting to an omer, which is about...Well, we won't get into all that part. Just so you know, an omer is about 2 1/2 quarts. Let's try to run down the basis, to get you started on this. 

172.) There is one group, we're just going to cut to the chase on this so you know what we are talking about here. That'll lay a foundation here. There is one group that is only made up of 12 tribes. It's Revelation 7:4. It only has the twelve tribes in it. That's what the Bible says. 

173.) Let's go to Revelation 7:4 and it says, "And I heard the number of those who were sealed, that's what you want to be is sealed in the next couple of years, 144,000 of all of the tribes, "the tribes, tribes," of Israel were sealed." So these were of the children of Israel of the twelve tribes.

174.) Verse 5, "Of the tribe of Judah, 12,000, Reuben 12,000, Gad 12,000, Asher 12,000, Naphtali 12,000, Manasseh 12,000, Simeon 12,000, Levi 12,000, Issachar 12,000, Zebulon 12,000, Joseph 12,000, that's Ephraim, and Benjamin 12,000. Those were the specific one that were all sealed, and they add up to 144,000. 

175.) Since they add up to 144,000, there isn't room left for anybody else. There isn't any room left for the Gentiles, because they add up, 12 times12 is 144,000. That's one group. 

176.) Now, there's another group. I can prove there's another group, because it is not made up of the twelve tribes. It's not. Turn to Revelation 14. This is "Tare the two wave sheaves waved before the Father. 

177.)   Revelation 14:and we'll start out in verse 1. "And then I looked, and behold, the Lamb sitting on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 having His Father's Name written on their foreheads." 

178.) Go to verse 4, "These were redeemed from among men," from the nations, not from the twelve tribes., "being first-fruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was no deceit, and they were found without fault." Hello. That's us, "that's us," because in The Obedient Church of God, we've got the brethren from Pakistan, which are Gentiles, which are obviously not Israelites, "obviously not."

179.) "And in their mouth was found no deceit, they are without fault." The Obedient Church of God does not sin. Now, we all want to realize that there are times that we lose control, but the pattern of out lives is not a sinful pattern. We don't give in to sin, we don't live by sin, don't have sin as a way of life.

180.) So don't say and start twisting it around that The Obedient Church of God says that they don't sin, when we're saying the pattern of sin as a way of life of deliberately moving the Sabbath to the sixth-day, and that's a sin. Sin is transgression of the law. And the law states that the Sabbath is the seventh-day. 

181.) And don't...I was astounded that one minister yesterday said, that Christ will do everything and make up for all of our, "for all of our" lack. They're in the habit of moving the Sabbath Day to the sixth-day, Hebrew 10:26, no sacrifice for your sins.

182.) Not if you're knowingly having Mother-goddess Day, and you find out that  
Mother's Day is Mother-goddess Day, and you still don't hang-up on your children and you still participate with your children and tell them Thank you for sending me flowers, instead of hanging- up on them. Same for Sky Father's Day.

183.) Here's the point here. These were not defiled with churches, women, for they are virgins. Revelation 14:4 are ones who are not defiled, to follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men. Now the word "among" is in italics so that means it was not in the original. "Who were redeemed from men," not the twelve tribes. 

184.) "In their mouth was found no deceit, they are without fault." before the Throne of God. So that's a totally different group. 

185.) Now what happens to all the foul-ups? "all the foul-ups. Go to Revelation 20: verse 5, "The rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished." 

186.) So we've only got three choices here. You've got:                                                            the first group if you are an Israelite and the twelve tribes,                                                    the second group from all nations, and                                                                             the third group, the foul-ups, who don't get resurrected until the thousand years are finished.   

187.) But, the ones in The Obedient Church of God are undefiled; these are the ones who are not defiled by women, women is synonymous with churches; they are without fault, verse 5. They are without fault, so everything we find in the Bible, we obey.

188..) That also makes us the Philadelphia Church. Not the other churches that move the Sabbath day to the sixth-day and say they are Philadelphians.

189.) Now we want you to be able to stand, and only the faithful ones will be in the 144,000. The ones who are not faithful, that are not pure, won't be in the 144,000. 

190.) Now let me give you some more general information, and then we'll put this all together in the end. The wave sheaf and the wave loaves are not the same grain. Each represents different groups of people: they represent the two different groups. One group is made up of barley, the other group is made up of wheat, two different grains, two different groups, two sets of 144,000: one set of the twelve tribes; one set from all the nations.   

191.)   Two completely different grains. Now let me tell you another rediscovered truth here. One was specially hand-picked, "one was specially hand-picked."

192.) Bear Note: You're supposed to put a BN on your border. That's a separate book for all you new listeners so that you know when I say Bear Note that's a special book of all the rediscovered truth of The Obedient Church of God. One was hand-picked, specially selected, hand-picked, while the other was reaped with a sickle.   

193.) Now, the records show that the barley, in my research, for the wave sheaf was hand-picked. So, write down Barley: hand-picked, carefully gathered, "carefully gathered," that's the barley.
Now, the second loaf, whoops, the wave loaves was harvested in bundles with a sickle, and gathered into sheaves. 

194.) Both grains were from the first fruit harvest. Both were, but they were selected in different ways. One was hand-picked: that humbly was The Obedient Church of God; the other one was gathered into sheaves, harvested in bundles. Now, this is the first of the first fruits, and, they are the only ones that are going to be surviving. Ninety % of the earth is going to be killed, so the odds aren't very good. Your odds are 9 to 1 against you that you will live into the Millennium if you are not one of the first fruits.

195.) Now, I want to tell you that Christ waved loaves before the Father. Christ waved loaves before the Father. I'm trying to condense this so we don't run out of time. The main point is that they are not defiled by women, by false churches. So there isn't this idea that you can be doing whatever you want, in whatever congregation you want, and everything is going to be fine. 

196.) Remember, the 144,000, the first group, the barley group, is comprised all the way back to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the patriarchs, going back 6,000 years, "6,000 years." Therefore, you divide the 6,000 years into 144,000, you end up with 24 people, "24 people" a year. A very small group, "a very small group." 

197.) If I can find a way to condense this, because I want to get into more spiritual matters. I went through my pages here. Is that you should realize that when God is calling you out, the way He is calling you out, that He is carefully selecting you and picking you. And that is not the same as the group that is harvested with the sickle. 

198.) And the ones that are going to be harvested with the sickle are, well,  loved by Father also. But, remember, there are the first of the First Fruits. That's the barley. The barley is the first of the First Fruits. 

199.) And you also find, without getting into more of this, and get really involved, regarding those who give their heads in the Tribulation. Let's put it this way. That the barley, some of us in the barley will be giving out heads. 

200.) So I'll probably be rounded up because of my preaching. And, therefore, I'll be having to give my head, because  I certainly won't give homage to the Beast Power or violation of the Sabbath Day. You hear me going on right now about the sixth-day in half of the world, so you know there won't be any problem with me for giving my head for the seventh-day Sabbath. 

201.) That's the barley, "that's the barley." We want to be part of the barley group. The other group is of the twelve tribes. Remember, these are they who follows the Lamb where ever He goes. That means follows every jot and title of Yeshua. 

202.) And these were redeemed from among men, being first fruits to God. 
And this is an army mixture of men and women, just so you know that. And they were undefiled by the world's Jezebel system, Mother-goddess Day, Sky Father's Day, Turkey-god Day: they were pure.

203.) Hold that thought then that there are two loaves that were waved before Father. They are not the same grain: The wave sheaf and the wave loaves are not the same grain. We'll just stop right there. It can get really complicated.

204.) Now I want to go back to wrap up this topic to say that there is Revelation 7:4, those are the twelve tribes, no Gentiles; and then there's all nations references here of Revelation 14:1 and Revelation 3:9. 

205.) In conclusion, maybe we should read Revelation 3:9, before we try to squeeze in spiritual food for you here. I'll squeeze it in here, "I'll make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie, I shall come and make them worship at your feet and know that I have loved you." 

206.) So that's what's going to happen to the people that say that they are spiritually following Yeshua and are not. They are lying and they are of the synagogue of Satan. Get out of those churches. They are not following the Bible.

207.) Get away from any minister who says that you do not have to follow every jot and title, and that Christ, in His mercy will make up for it all, because sin is transgression of the law. And if you are deliberately sinning, Hebrews 10:26 says, No sacrifice for your sins. 

208.) So you must manifest obedience in your life now because you've got to teach others obedience. So how can you possibly be changed into a leader of cities, if you yourself can't get your own life in order. You've got to live like a God-being now. So that should give you inspiration. 

209.) You must live like a God-being now. That's a good Bear Note. That's a good Bear Note for you to reflect on.   

210.) You must manifest now in you life you are a God-being.

211.) I have 5-6 inches of folders here. And the first folder says, "Whose slave are you? Slavery to sin." Another one says, "It's not enough to know the will of Christ, but to do it." "It's not enough to know that the Sabbath is on the seventh- day, but you must do it," or else you are a slave to sin.

212.)  And "you must abide in Christ's word and His promises, and you will be made free." You must abide in Christ's word and His promises, and you will be made free. You will be set free breaking out of the chain.

213.) I want to play you a song here. And it is called, "I Shall be Released." You have been released by Christ's sacrifice, Yeshua's sacrifice. Now, coming up on the days of unleavened bread, now they are over, you cleaned yourself up, after the beauty of Father on the night of the Passover, He gave you a head start, He gave you a running start. You u want to continue that run and run to the end.

214.) Remember our song, "The pull of the trigger, the crack of the gun; You run with full vigor, your race has begun. You run with the mighty, the brave, and the strong; You run with full measure, you run hard and long." Yes, that's the song we use to play. We'll be playing it again this year.

215.) But we want you to focus on that you have been released. You have been released. Your being released, you want to know that you have a running start now that you should, "you should,"  which means you must live like a God-being. 

216.) So, let's see if we can get the computer to cooperate. Yes. We shall play on "I Shall be Released." I'm looking for a particular singer because I think he does justice to this song. 

217.) We see Yeshua's light come shining now from west to east. We're so lucky for Yeshua's arrival so we can released from the treachery of this world, the New World Order. We need protection, and we've been protected by Yeshua. Yeshua does the releasing. We are His. Message from God, get into my place, get into my ways. Get out of Satan's place. 

218.) All right. We were crucified with Christ at baptism. Now here are some salient points in order to strengthen all of us for the coming year. Romans 6:6, now, baptism is not repentance. Baptism is where you died to sin, "you died to sin." And having been crucified with Christ, now you live Galatians 2:20. 

219.) Now how do you live? You walk in newness of life. Just as Yeshua arose from the grave, we arise from baptism to walk in newness of life. From the Passover service, we walk in newness of life. We are a new creation in Christ. 

220.) II Corinthians 5:17,"You are a new creation, you are no longer the slaves to sin." The very purpose of dying to sin in baptism, was to be free from sin. Free from gluttony, free from alcohol, free from smoking, free from bad language, free from bad attitudes, free from lying, free from twisting God's truth.

221.) Now you live with Christ. And because He died, so we can. Ephesians 2:verses 4 to 6. Because He died in the Passover, Unleavened Bread season, we can live now. The idea is the concept, the gestalt. Being alive in Christ, "being alive in Christ," so that now that you are alive, alive to God, sin does not reign in you. You are dead to sin. You are dead to sin because you chose to not let it reign in us. 

222.) Romans 8:12 or 13, now our bodies are now instruments of righteousness. So, we are alive from the dead, we are instruments of righteousness.

223.) I Corinthians 6:19-20, We can glorify Him, even in our bodies. So, I'm going to try to look fit and trim and get my weight down to 155.Glorify Him even with our bodies. 

224.) Sin no longer needs to be out master because in Christ we have been set us free, and in Yeshua we have been set free. 

225.) Now remember, we are now slaves to righteousness, every jot and title, unless you want to scratch that out of the Bible. We are slaves to righteousness. 
Whole bunch of scriptures on that one. The basic ones for the new listeners.

226.) Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; Romans 8:1-2; and the big one, Romans 8:12-13. 

226.) See if I can find it here again, Romans 8:12-13, see what it has to say there, "Therefore brethren, we are not debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh, for if you live according to the flesh, you will die. But, if,'if, if,' by the Spirit you will put to death  the deeds of the body, you will live."
227.) So, therefore, you don't put to death the deeds of the body, you will not live. That verse is obvious. So, remember what I said, when you are slaves to righteousness, we all know what slaves are. They are totally obedient, "totally obedient," every muscle, fiber of their body is obedient.
228.) Now, we are to serve righteousness. Remember how you use to serve sin: How you use to fornicate/or lust, how you use to swear, how you use to serve sin? Well, you are supposed to “serve” righteousness like you “used” to serve sin.
229.) You once served sin, once in the past, but now you are to serve righteousness. So we've got to have a goal for the next year. That's why we are doing this with you. We can't just say okay the days of unleavened bread are over, and now I just wish tripping merrily on my way. No. We've got to have a goal.
230.) So your goal is to serve righteousness for the purpose of producing holiness, not to be a smart alec or anything else, but to be one of God's to have a happier life. It's God's free way of life: moderate alcohol, God's free was of life;
and God drinks. 
.
231.) Do you know that God drinks? The Father drinks because it says in the Bible that the vine speaks, the actual vine speaks, "Who are you to tell me not to give forth my wine that God enjoys?" 

232.) God the Father drinks, and Yeshua drinks. That's why He created it. And you drink enough to cheer the heart, not to become bombed, but to cheer the heart. That's what the purpose is for, to cheer the heart. So don't just be a teetotaler and have one once, have something that cheers the heart. But you have to have control, and learn how much you can drink, and everything else. 
233.) So we're back to I Peter 1: 14-16, let's see what Peter is saying here, "As obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts as in your ignorance," here we are folks, just starting out, "but as He who called you was holy, you also be holy" in all your conduct. What a goal for this next year.  

234.) What a goal, to be holy. Conduct yourselves. What does it say in 17? "And if you call on Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout your time of your stay here with fear." 

235.)  So, if you are thinking that's a nice sentiment, certainly a nice sentiment, the Bible says here fear, "fear, fear, fear, fear." So for any reason, give yourself a jumpstart by being afraid not to be holy. 

236.) So we've all been cleaned up, washed by Christ's blood, and examined ourselves for seven days for that goal for next year, is to be holy and be purified to obeying the truth. 

237.) Verse 22 of I Peter 1:22, "Since you have purified your souls," that's our 
job in obeying the truth, we're washed by Christ and now we have to purify our souls, obeying the truth.

238.) That's the sermon for today.

239.) "Blessed and Happy is He" in our Hymnal. Isn't that wonderful the way that fits in. God must be picking out these songs at new moon day. They certainly fir. So all please rise, face the north heavens where Father is, sing out to Father and Yeshua at his right-hand side. Happy is he who obeys and fears God.

240.) And we want to give this as your sacrifice. All sing out.

241.) Now for the closing prayer, all face the north heavens, arms raised, head bowed, eyes closed. 

242.) "Almighty, most merciful loving Father, praise be to you for your most magnificent ways. And your persistence for training us so that we can grow up to be strong, powerful like you, and righteous, and wise and be happy throughout Eternity like you. And have an abundant life through the use of your principles.

243.) "Thank you for calling us. Thank you for The Obedient Church of God. Thank you for the teachings of The Obedient Church of God. I, myself, am learning from the teachings. 

244.) "Please help the others to inculcate that they must be obedient to you in order to be righteous in order to be pure and in order to be holy, in order that they're not half-full of oil because if they are only doing half of this stuff, they're going to be kicked out of your Kingdom. So help them to understand that that they have to be full of oil, not half-full, and that you will not do things that they can do for themselves. 

245.) "So Father, we now ask for this next year a blessing upon The Obedient Church of God and all its members, and a blessing upon all those your are calling into The Obedient Church of God., and a witness against all the rest who oppose The Obedient Church of God and will not repent. 

246.) "Father, you might be able to use The Obedient Church of God, the Living Church of God, the United Church of God, the Philadelphia Church of God, Triumph Prophetic Ministries and lead them to all repent of not breaking your Sabbath Day in half the world. And lead them to all stop going to restaurants on the Sabbath Day. Maybe we can do that as a witness and get it started, but it's in your time frame. 

247.) "So as this New Year starts, for the members do it as a witness, and we'll continue to work for you through every jot and title of your word. And please pour out your Spirit in full measure on The Obedient Church of God so we can learn and expound and tell others more of your marvelous truth and lead them to true repentance like Paul did.

248.) "Now we ask for your dismissal, and we ask for protection from the authorities, don't want to forget that, protect us from the authorities. You don't get what you don't ask for. Keep the authorities away from us so we can do your will.
We ask it all in His holy righteous name, Yeshua ha Mashiach, our soon arriving King. Amen."

249.) Yes, indeed. Now you know in conclusion here, it just might be a good idea to play one of songs you use to hear quite a bit from The Obedient Church of God. And it had something to do with a sheep. I wonder what it was. What it is. Something about being a sheep. Hmmmm.

250.) You just want to be God’s sheep? I just want to be God’s sheep. Baa, baa. baa, I belong to Father and Yeshua, and follow “Them”/Yeshua wherever they lead.
I just wanna be a Sheep who hears and follows “His” voice.
