Letter 7 Dear Pastor Taylor, 03/11/07 I’d like to thank you for speaking the Truth of God. It seems everyone else in the world wants to make ears tingle. I want to thank you for the Glory of His Grace you’ve sent me for over a year now, and the Strong’s concordance that I shamefully admit I’ve never even written to thank you for. I thank God for all you’ve given to everyone in the name of Christ and I sincerely ask your forgiveness for not writing to show my appreciation. The truth is, I haven’t been walking in the Spirit but I’ve recently come to repentance and the Lord has brought me back into true discipleship. In the past I really couldn’t (wouldn’t) stomach your doctrine even though I knew your “hard sayings” were directly from the Holy Spirit. But now that I’ve come back and repented, there’s no other doctrine – no other discipleship I can have and be justified. I can’t go halfway because I once knew and followed Jesus Christ in the way you speak of and anything less today and I’d go into self condemnation. Once you’ve known Christ in such a personal way, how could you ever settle for a lesser discipleship? Before I came to prison, while walking in the streets, I experienced this true fellowship with God, but I was hated by even “christians.” No one wanted to have anything to do with me because I was to them a legalistic fanatic. If that were so, why would I have experienced such intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit? This discipleship – this Jesus Christ whom you preach at “My Father’s House” is the only real Jesus! People forget and disregard the scriptures about crucifying the flesh, taking up ones cross and dying to the world. I guess that’s convenient for their lusts and lifestyles. God Himself, before I was locked up showed me a glimpse of a church – His true Bride, and My Father’s House and the true, pure doctrine of Jesus Christ there are what He revealed to me and showed me as His desire. He spoke to me about 3 months before I got locked up and told me “Prepare My Bride” and when I asked what He meant, He showed me what you teach. Three years later and 2 states away I see a mirror image of what I myself have been shown by Him to be His true desire and will from “My Father’s House.” People won’t tolerate sound doctrine, but to make Jesus after their own image is idolatry, so I thank you and thank God for you all for presenting the gospel of God. You already know you serve God, but I want to thank you and confirm also to you that the God of Jesus Christ you preach – He’s the only God and you’ve confirmed to me that I wasn’t a fanatic, and that I’m a true disciple of Christ no matter what the so called “mature, experienced christians” say. And when they tell me I’m a “zealot” – well praise God! At least he who loves God, the same is known of Him. Pastor Taylor, I thank you and I wish for the day when I may get to fellowship with my brothers and sisters at “My Father’s House.” You’ve been used by God to inspire many to follow Christ and answer the call. Again, I’m truly sorrowful I’ve not written all this time to thank you. I sometimes justified it by figuring you’d be too busy to even read the letter. If you are, praise God – maybe another soul saved. I don’t believe one bit that Jesus’ views on the “lukewarm” church have changed. How much more now should we run this race? Please continue to send the Glory of His Grace and I pray the Lord let you have a glimpse, even now, of the fruit of your labor, love, and obedience to His calling. But I imagine even for us all, there’s nothing greater than knowing our Father takes pleasure in us. May the Lord bless you and keep you: the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Before “My Father’s House,” you’re the only people I’ve ever know of that knew Christ as I did. I thought I was seriously in error because I was the only one. I wasn’t in error and I thank God I’m truly not alone. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus, Amen. Brother H. B. |
