The Sixty-Third (63rd) Book Of St Paul De
Evangelist
As Delivered By St Paul De Evangelist
Timing
Delivered just Before 2021 Feast Of Trumpet, Day Of Atonement And Feast Of Tabernacles
The Appointed Time
The time has come.
The appointed time has come.
Tell your people, because a pre-scheduled war does not consume a lame man – let the congregation rise, sing, clap, dance, rejoice and praise God Almighty, because it is time to celebrate God’s feast.
Son of man, tell your people, ask them,
How does a child’s heart feel, when a celebration is coming very near.
Does the child start dancing on the day of the celebration or before the day of celebration? He starts dancing before the day of celebration.
Even so immediately he is informed of the festivity, even so he immediately starts to dance and rejoice.
Son of man, tell your people, tell the congregation, tell humanity, it is the heart of a child that is used in praising God.
Childlikeness
What did the FirstSon of God said?
He said let the children come to me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such people.
Jesus was not talking about the little children. He was referring to childish heart, the type of children’s heart of joyfulness and gladness of heart, the heart of peace and purity, the heart of contentment and playfulness.
Son of man, it is what was said that is being done – the scheduled feast has come and the celebration is going on. Tell the congregation to open their hearts, because the appointed time has come. Tell your people, to dance and rejoice. Let them rise in joyfulness that is used in preparing for the Lord’s feast.
Benefits Of Singing And Dancing
Son of man, why are the congregation getting weak?
The prescheduled war does not consume a cripple.
Ask the congregation, how do they feel?
Our hearts are full of joyfulness and gladness of heart.
So should it be.
So shall the feasts of God be festive celebrations.
Avoidance
Son of man, even the joyfulness and gladness of heart supposed to start many days before the date of the feast. But, it is not so with you people, because many have thought that they have not seen the money to fulfil many pledges which they have made in support of the Lord’s feast.
To many people, coming to the temple of God is on the left side – many are avoiding the temple of God – because of many things which they supposed to do. Tell them, there is no blame for the person who does not have. But, there is blame for the person, who has and still does not want to bring gifts and offerings to God Almighty.
Childish Heart
But tell them, even so I tell you the truth, it is only the child’s heart that is used in praising God. If you use the heart of an adult, I tell you the truth, as you are walking in a journey, even so you are walking in the way to hell fire. That was why the FirstSon said, let the children to come to me, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.
Does it mean that the children do not go to hell fire?
Children are inside hell fire. They go to hell fire.
Why did Jesus said, leave the child to come to me.
Son of man, what the FirstSon was saying was not about the age of the little children, because a child of one year old, if you check their age, many of them have attained one thousand (1000) years of age. But because he was newly born, and having attained the age of one year here on this earth, people still call him a little child.
Do you not know that my age is greater than your age?
Forgetting that many people that you are older than, were the great grandfathers of your father.
Son of man, by this sign you shall understand what I am saying. Observe the conduct of the little children. None is behaving like a child. That is the sign for you to know that numerous people here on earth, were the ancestors, who have come to mend their ways, to correct the wrongs which they have committed in their past lifetimes. This opportunity is the love that God has for their life.
Heart Of Children
Therefore, the children spoken of by Jesus were not the little children by age. Instead, the FirstSon was talking about the hearts of children.
A mother will bring a child, rebuke the child and beat the child. The child will cry, and after crying, the child will start looking for its mother. A father will flog and flog and flog a child. Many of such children will be crying and pursuing – following – behind. Instead of crying, “I done die, I done die, I done die,” he will be crying, “My mother. My mother. My mother.” The same mother that is beating the child. As the child is crying, even so it is running after you.
When you console the child and tell it, “”It is enough,” the child will stop crying and weeping. And whatever you ask the child to do, it will be doing so. When he goes outside, he will still be making mouth with you – boasting of you.
That is the type of heart used in worshipping God. It is not the heart of an adult, a heart that is full of antagonism, full of anger and wrath of God, a heart that never forgives. It is not a heart that never forgets what a person has done.
It is the heart of children,
It is the heart of children,
It is the heart of children,
that is required.
If it were a child that was told that a celebration is coming, immediately it is said, he will start dancing. He will continue to have joy, starting from the time that he was told, till the day of the festive celebration.
Son of man,
even so it should be.
Son of man, what gives all those joy?
It is because the child has remembered all the things that he will eat, during the festivity. As you have told a child that a feast is coming, even so he remembers that there shall be drinks for people to drink. Even so he remembers that there shall be rice and stew to eat. And he remembers that so many people are coming.
And every time he remembers the celebration, wherever he is, he starts to rejoice. Even so it should be with the children of God. If the children of God know what they gain, from festive celebration, whenever they remember that feast is coming, their hearts shall be full of joy.
Even themselves shall be praying and asking God, let the feast come and start immediately.
When they remember the various works which Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts is doing during the feasts, themselves shall be rejoicing, in various ways and in many forms.
Son of man, the heart of children, the heart of children, the heart of children.
But, how many people worship God with the heart of children?
Pride And Pomposity
Some are professors inside themselves. Son of man, the law-breakers that do not go to jail. The people who know everything. But all those things, a person who has grace her mother-in-law with torn currency note, has he eaten – spent – that money? No, my Lord.
Has he spent the money? No, my Lord.
Meaning that that people who prove to be smart by cheating others are only busy cheating themselves: human reasoning does not benefit much in things of the spirit.
Even so they are, all these people, who worship God with the heart of an adult.
Son of man, with what sense shall you deal with God Almighty, who created you and gave you wisdom? None, my Lord.
Many compare God with the inventions of the world. A human being developed the computer, and the computer is wiser than man.
Is that true? Yes, my Lord.
The computer is doing various things which a human being cannot do.
Is it true? Yes, my Lord.
That is why many worship God with that kind of wisdom. They compare themselves and their inventions with God, who created them.
God Is Far Greater
Son of man, tell them, tell humanity, God is like the ocean, while themselves are like cups of water taken from the ocean, even so with a small cup in the hand.
Humanity are able to make various things. But, themselves cannot attain the level of the creator of the heaven and the earth. That is why, it is out of ignorance that people create things that are wiser than human beings. The okra tree is not supposed to grow taller than the farmer who planted it. A man is never greater than his father. A person may be taller than the father or he may be more beautiful than the father. He may be greater in academic performance. But, when the time comes, for the strong and brave to be known, the person shall bend down for the father to teach him. Even so it is. Tell your people, it is the heart of a child that is used in worshipping God.
Time Of Joyfulness
Tell humanity, the time of joy has come – the time for the triple feasts of the Lord – Feast Of Trumpet, Day of Atonement and Feast Of Tabernacles 2021.
Tell humanity, all the days are the days of joy, because God made all the days to be days of joy for humanity. But, in whatever condition a person is in, in this world, he put himself in such a condition.
Childlikeness
Tell humanity, let the congregation open their hearts and use the heart of a child to follow God. Tell them, the wisdom of man cannot lead to anywhere, because what is being done are the things of the spirit. They are not things of the flesh. The wisdom and understanding of the world, all shall be kept aside. It is the heart of a little child to follow God.
In all conditions, however it is, the time of the festival of God is the time when the children of God shall stand firm and praise God. They shall sing songs pleasing to Him, because the children of God are owing, indebted to, God, in terms of sacrifice. Many sacrifices that are numerous, which humanity cannot pay all the debts to God. But, it is only during this festival that people can pay all, in instalment, to God, all the debts which humanity are owing. People can pay their debts just by remembering God’s feasts, with joyfulness and gladness of heart, to stand in the presence of Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts.
When people stand before Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts with joy, even so they are showing their contentment, love and trust in Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts. This is how Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts wants it.
Tell humanity,
Only the heart of a child.
Only the heart of a child.
Only the heart of a child.
- Only such a heart
is pleasing to God Almighty.
Keep All Cares And Worries Aside
Only the heart of a child is what God wants from humanity. That is why you have to stand in the presence of God with the same heart of a child. Therefore, keep away all needs and distractions, all cares and worries. Keep them away from yourself. And stand in the presence of God, to dance for Him, and rejoice, because the time of festivity is coming. The time when the heaven and the earth become one, because as the Angels are dancing in heaven, even so you congregation are here on earth rejoicing. Even this year’s Feast of Trumpet has started in heaven, despite the fact that the feasts in heaven is different, because in heaven the will of God is being done in perfection.
Feasts are being celebrated in heaven, from time to time. Celebration never get exhausted, because celebration comes from the heart.
Benefits Of God’s Festivals
During celebration, if your heart is not joyful, there is nothing in the festivity that shall satisfy you.
Is it true? Yes, my Lord.
For purity of heart, and holiness of the heart, despite the fact that all days are for celebration. Despite the fact that the feasts established by God are especially different. Even so it please God that it should be so in your midst.
The festivals of God are the times when you should wear off all cares and worries, and come to the temple and holy places, to dance for God in a special ways. That new life comes into yourself. As people enter celebration, even so they enter into new life. Even so they enter, have new health. Even so various types of blessings abound for them. Everything established by God has special needs to provide. Only by keeping the laws of God is salvation possible.
Benefits Of Festivity
The time of festivity has come. The time when Angels in heaven and the Saints on earth stand and have joy for God. Great things happen during festivity, because as you prepare, as you prepare what to do for God, even so God is preparing what to do for you congregation.
Is it true? It is true.
The host of a celebration, as he expecting the gifts that people shall give to him, even so he is preparing the gifts that he will give to people.
Is it true? Yes, my Lord.
As you participate in the festival, as you prepare, as you can, even so is Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts, and the Hosts of Angels and Saints of heaven, are preparing, even so they shall fall like the rain – they come in their numerousity with diverse activities. Even so they shall make so many different things, which they shall do for you people during the festival. Therefore, yourself has to prepare very well.
Celebration Starts Before The Appointed Time
Son of man, today, I remind you. Let it be in your conscience, that you bear it in mind, that it is not on the day of a festival that joy should start. The joy of a celebration should start before, even so many days, before the festival starts.
When you dance for God, when you have joy for God, even so what God prepares for you in the festival shall abound more and more. He is preparing many things, even so He shall do for you things that are abundant.
Closing Benedictions
Let this festive period be a time of joyfulness in your life, one by one.
Let this festival be to you an opportunity to grow from strength to strength, an opportunity in which you grow from wisdom of heaven to wisdom of heaven, and an opportunity by which you shall remain steadfast until the end of time.
Let peace abide with you.
