Subject: Hello !!
Father led me to “The Path of Truth”. I read some of your papers and was glad to see that I was not the only one ( like Elijah ? ) that sees religion for what it is. The Bible is written to His born again children. Spiritually discerned. The world speaks the world listens. When God speaks his children listen. There is no middle ground. I noticed that many people are opposed to you ….THis speaks very highly of you. Don’t shrink back !!!!!
In His Everlasting Love

Just a short note
Thurs, 13 Mar 2014 9:58P
I have been accused of being straightforward, blunt, opinionated, dogmatic, and even rude and thoughtless, certainly not speaking in love. But never by a Born Again Child of The Most High Living God !!!! It is not possible for me to conceive of a True Brother in Christ not being in total and whole hearted agreement with the Inspired Living Word of God.
Since I was led to you by Holy Spirit , and recognize you as my True Brothers in Chist, I am not led to “preach to the quire”, but rather lift you up to Father, and offer my full support to you and yours.
As a matter of information: He saw fit to draw me to His Kingdom 1Mar1982, subsequently cleansing me and teaching me that maturity in Christ is to become as a small child(Matt:18:3). Obedience is not just a religious catch word, but an absolute necessity to enter into and serve in His Kingdom.
Fellowship is with The Father. If I have fellowship with The Father. If you have fellowship with The Father. Then and only then can you and I have True Fellowship. I say that because Fellowship is very hard to find. My wife and I have fellowship with The Father and so with each other….In my neck of the woods we seem to spend a great deal of time dodging fiery darts . Companionship is easy to find if that is what one seeks. WE SEEK FELLOWSHIP and will settle for nothing less…..Father tells us that it is not by desire or effort but by His Mercy !!!!!!
Yes, the news letters would be well received, as well as any Word you may be given !!!

Got your “short note,” Jack. You’ve now been added to our mailing list. The correspondence will be sent to you blind carbon copy, so we ask that you don’t reply to the direct recipients of our letters, but to us if you have any questions or comments.
You and your wife are also welcome to attend our Sabbath (Saturday) meetings, which start at 12 noon Mountain Time in a text chat room on our site, generally lasting several hours as we talk with other believers from around the world. If you’re interested, let us know. Sara Schmidt will then send you some simple instructions.
We look forward to hearing more from you, Lord willing. We certainly don’t mind some “preaching to the choir,” either. ☺

Hi Paul, Victor, and Sarah…..
Thank you for taking the time to communicate with me and add me to your mailing list.
It is quite interesting the varied and sundry arguments the perishing world presents in the Name of our Lord !!! The Harlot has no shame !!!!
It would be great to talk to you on the Sabbath. The electronic age has pretty much passed us by, but I can probably follow your instructions. Verna, my beautiful wife, is a good typist so perhaps that will help.

Hi Victor and Paul
I stand in awe of Father. To know that He has called me to service in His Kingdom to glorify Him in all that I am. To know not what I am, but who I am.
I am praying that He will make a way for us to join the Sabbath chat room.
Where do you reside Victor ?
Paul, are you near Helena, Mt. ? If so do you know, or know of, the Diehl family ? If so, what of them ?
Has anyone any knowledge of Gordon Binning or valley of praise ?
Father healed me of two crushed vertebrae in a rodeo arena near Salmon, Id. He sent a man I did not know and had never seen before. He healed me on the spot !!!! Glory and Honor to His Name for evermore !!!!!
I suppose I am sort of rambling, mostly just wanted to say hello.

Hi Jack, Paul here.
God has been good to you, no doubt. Thanks for sharing about the healing.
I actually live in Helena. I don’t know any of the Diehls in this area with more than a passing introduction years ago. And never heard of Gordon Binning or the Valley of Praise. Anything we should know about?
Victor lives near Lethbridge, Alberta, a city about 60 miles north of the Montana border close to the same longitude of Helena. Where do you live?
Sara tells me she has been in touch with you on your chat connection issues. It sounds like you’ll need to work off another device or upgrade your operating system to join us at the meeting.
I would say the greatest of honors is to know Who the Lord is. And along with His revelation comes responsibility:
“To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked” (Luke 12:48 HNV).
“So likewise you, when you shall have done all the things commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants, for we have done what we ought to do” (Luke 17:10 MKJV).
All glory and thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ!

Hi Paul
Hope all is well with you and yours.
Quick question.
Would I be correct in believing that the Bible was written to, and for, sons of the Most High Living God ??
thanks

Hi Jack, Victor here,
I know the Bible wasn’t for me before I believed – it was totally closed. And He opened it only partially when He gave me repentance. So no, it isn’t for anyone but those who believe.
Another example – Candace’s eunuch was reading, didn’t understand, but was given to do so by one who believed (Acts 8).
Third example – The Jews couldn’t understand though they were the chosen covenant people. As Paul said:
2 Corinthians 3:13-16 MKJV
(13) And we are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of the thing being done away.
(14) (But their thoughts were blinded; for until the present the same veil remains on the reading of the old covenant, not taken away.) But this veil has been done away in Christ.
(15) But until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is on their heart.
(16) But whenever it turns to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
Jack, Paul here. All is well; thanks for asking. What made you ask this question about the Bible?

Hello Victor, this is Jack
Thank you for the prompt and Godly reply.
In all honesty it was not necessary to ask you the question.
With the same honesty, I can say it was not a test.
I can also say that as I read your mail a profound peace flooded my Spirit.
There was no reason or motive that I was aware of to ask you anything at all.
I sent you the mail because Holy Spirit said so. The reason and motive are totally His.
Not such a difficult question for a Man of God, but Father will take a seemingly simple situation and Glorify Himself in it.
I am totally open to His Teaching or Discipline, as the case may be, I know the same applies to you and Paul.
Be open to the “simple” things. Any Word or Direction will be well received…..
This should answer your question, Paul.

Hello Victor
A couple of things:
one…. I apologize for the abrupt exit from the chat room today…We had a pretty good storm here and knocked the power off for an hour or so.
two…. I accepted you all the way you are, as my brothers in Christ. I didn’t expect perfection.
three.. In my Spirit, I sense that you have some problems with Jack. If so, I am truly sorry about that, but cannot see any changes in what I have been called to do.
2 Timothy 4:2
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with [a]great patience and instruction.
Matthew 5:36-38
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
36 Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.37 But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is [a]of evil.

Hi Jack, Paul here.
No problem about your abrupt exit, but thanks for letting us know.
Not sure what you mean by accepting us all the way we are and not expecting perfection of us. I have the impression you’re linking that to your third point, suggesting we’re not reciprocating the gesture. I can say this about the matter:
We certainly can’t and don’t expect perfection from anyone’s flesh, including our own. The Lord, however, does call us to perfection of spirit, not as an option, but as a command:
“Therefore be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect” (Matthew 5:48 MKJV).
And we do hold one another accountable for this, not for condemnation’s sake, but for salvation. Otherwise, we cannot truly call each other “brother,” looking out for one another.
As for the problems you sense we have with you, that troubling is coming from within you and not from us. Can you tell us what specifically is bothering you? We’d like to help you and can, Lord willing, if you’ll be honest and open with yourself and with us.
Have you considered fasting and prayer?

Jack, when you first contacted us you wrote:
“I noticed that many people are opposed to you ….THis speaks very highly of you. Don’t shrink back !!!!!”
We haven’t shrunk back, but you have withdrawn from us. Why?
You continued in subsequent letters with more validating statements:
“Since I was led to you by Holy Spirit , and recognize you as my True Brothers in Chist, I am not led to ‘preach to the quire’, but rather lift you up to Father, and offer my full support to you and yours.”
What happened to your support? You won’t even answer our questions about the things you brought up to us. Is this walking in the light?
“Companionship is easy to find if that is what one seeks. WE SEEK FELLOWSHIP and will settle for nothing less…..”
So why do you shun Christ’s brethren?
“I am totally open to His Teaching or Discipline, as the case may be, I know the same applies to you and Paul…. Any Word or Direction will be well received…..”
At this point you’ve only inferred something you suspect or think we might be thinking. Is this kind of speculation healthy, especially to act upon without consultation? At every turn, Jack, your actions belie your words. Talk is cheap. Your fruits tell us things are not right there. Is that how you want it to remain?
Clearly, things are not well for you, and they can only grow worse. We see you on the run, afraid of the rod, afraid of the cross of Christ. You’ve substituted your own reality and uphold it as His:
“The wicked are edgy with guilt, ready to run off even when no one’s after them; Honest people are relaxed and confident, bold as lions” (Proverbs 28:1 MSG).
Don’t deceive yourself; God will not be mocked.

Subject: I REBUKE YOU
Victor,
Yes, I am on the run !! I am running for the prize.
Yes, I fast and pray !! I have been doing so for more than 30 years. Never for personal gain. Never to brag or to compare.
I thought He sent me to support you and have fellowship. I accepted you on His terms, you, however reserved judgement on all counts. And arrogantly lied about it.
I was puzzled so I sought a further Word of instruction. I was sent to you, not for fellowship that was not available, but to deliver a Word of Reproof and Discipline.
“By the Holiness of His Name by which it is impossible for Him to lie and by the Power of Holy Spirit, I rebuke you, victor, for sitting yourself in Moses seat !!! You arrogantly tell people that the answer to Godliness is in your “letters”, and on your website. You have a spirit of pharisee of the highest order supported by an intellectual spirit. Both are an abomination. Eternal life is not found in your writings, your letters, your counsel, or even in the Scriptures, but in Jesus Christ !!!! If you turn away from the Discipline of the Lord you are illegitimate children and not sons.”
Let love be without hypocrisy. Accept the one who is weak, but not for the purpose of passing judgement on his opinions.
Remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness.
An overseer must be above reproach.
Only a CONTRITE and REPENTANT heart should presume to answer this letter !!!!
Fellowship is with The Father and is still possible.
