II. Central Thought
Life equals hope.

III. The Call of Prophetic Ministry
Fellow citizens of the world, brothers and sisters in Christ, All Hail:
       All my life I have tried to deny the call of ministry on my life. This may sound strange, considering I accepted the call of ordained ministry on August 17, 2002. Sometimes we are given blessings, and opportunities, but do not fully take advantage of them.
       My grandmother, Rev. Georgia Latimer, asked me about ministry when I was 10 years old. I was leaning on the wall on the right side of her desk. She asked me, in her dignified voice, “George, do you want to be a minister?” I said, without hesitation, “No.” She replied, “Why?” I gave this answer, “Look at you. You help people all the time, and many do not appreciate you. And most of the people in the association will not realize how good you are until long after you’re dead.” She sat straight up, nodded, and said, “I know. But one day, the association will be in such a condition, that you will have no other choice but to be ordained.” After a few seconds of silence, I responded, “Well, I promise you one thing. If I ever hear the spirit calling, I will answer.” This is one of the most prophetic conversations I ever had with my Grandmother.
       Just today, as I write this article, a fuller and deeper understanding came to me concerning this exchange, than ever before. I prophesied to her. She prophesied to me.
       I prophesied to her. She has been in the sweet beyond for exactly 12 years and 3 months. There are some saints and ministers of the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church, who are just now waking up to the blessings she possessed. Her words of wisdom and prophecy are just now being awakened. I have heard members say, across the country, how much she meant to them. However, when she was in the flesh, they did her wrong. Some even tried to move her from power before she passed on. Yet the same ones now say, they wish she was still here in the body.
       She prophesied to me. I will not speak overly negative concerning my church family. But no one can deny that the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church has watered down her message. Father Hurley spoke on many issues, and fought the injustices of his day. A number of us in the UHSC avoid controversy at all costs. We make it a priority to not hurt people’s feelings. We make it a priority to make folk happy, but never challenge them to improve. This was the “condition” that she saw in the spirit. This is why I had to be ordained in 2002.
       I will answer. I thought when I got ordained that I had answered the spirit. I did, to be sure, but God has many callings. God has a ultimate purpose for our lives, yet there are various avenues we must trend upon to fulfill the purpose. In my private study, my prayer life, my meditation time, and so forth, God has revealed a diversity of ministries, ideas, and solutions to me. I realize now, that I must walk in each one, no matter how hard it seems, in order to fulfill my ultimate purpose, given to me by God.
       I know. When I prophesied to my Grandmother, she replied, “I know.” She, having been on the spiritual journey all her life, had received revelation from the Spirit of God, on many issues. We must all KNOW our ultimate purpose, without any doubt. Why? So that, when storms and rains come in life, we will be able to endure. We must KNOW we will come out victorious. We must KNOW that God will provide us with the means necessary to do his will. We must KNOW that God is able to place us where we need to be.
       Prophetic Ministry. God has called me to Prophetic Ministry. The first calling came in January 2000 when I heard the Spirit of God, through the voice of Father Hurley say, “Build a website about me.” On January 6, 2002, I launched an Internet newsletter called, The Light of Prophecy.
       To tell you the truth, I am not sure where the Prophetic Ministry will lead me. I have no fear about this though. God is infinite, and we are finite. We will never fully understand every step God leads us to take. This is why faith in God, no matter how spiritually developed we are, is necessary. We must have faith that God will lead us right.
       Apologizes. Let me apologize to my parents, my closest coworkers, and my church family. I have been fighting within, all year long. When 2006 came in, I had vary sharp stomach pains, and was curled up in the fetal position upon my bed. The Spirit of God spoke a truth, about me, to me. All of 2006 has represented my coming to grips with this, and other revelations.
       This process has caused great rage to build up in me. I have often let my temper flare up toward those who are closest to me, and those who are truly good to me. For this I am deeply sorry. As the songwriter wrote, “Please be patient with me, God is not through with me yet. When God gets through with me, I shall come forth like pure gold.”
       Righteous Indignation. This built up rage in me is righteous indignation. According to Webster, indignation is “anger aroused by something unjust, mean, or unworthy.” Anger is “a strong feeling of displeasure or hostility.” I have felt displeasure, because I know I have not been letting God use me as He wills. I have felt displeasure, because I know the ministry of the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church, must be reignited. I have felt displeasure, because I see men and women suffering because they lack spiritual knowledge of self, and I have failed to preach this message. I have felt displeasure, because I can see the legacy of past saints of the UHSC being overlooked. I have felt displeasure, because Father Hurley played a great role in the history of this country, and time has come for the downplaying of him to stop. I have felt displeasure, because I held back many books, songs, lectures, sermons, businesses, ministries, committees, and much more, that God placed in me. NO MORE!
       Submitted for your approval. I submit the following scriptures as confirmation. James 4:7-10. Romans 12:1-3. 1 Timothy 4:12-15. Habakkuk 2:2-4. Jeremiah 1:4-10.
       Closing Prayer. O Glorious Savior! We know You live in us. Rejoice in us. Help us to let go of this world system. Give us strength to live out Your purpose in us. Amen. Amen. Amen.

I have the honor to be your obedient servant,
