Pre-Spring Fast – Day 4
All Hail to the Christ Within,
We are ending the fourth day of fasting.
We had a gathering this evening that really touched my heart. The saints here in Michigan want to see the Headquarters temple restored and reopened in Hurley’s name. We sang, prayed, and held a unified righteous thought. The tears I saw rolling, to me, were tears of joy. Even in the midst of failures success is just around the corner. Oh glory to God.
I have to say it again, “It comes through fasting and praying.” The world cannot hinder the works of God. God desires ALL to be blessed. God desires ALL to be healed. God desires ALL to live in peace. Where then are the blessings, healing, and peace? It is within us precious saints. It is within us. We must act on what we believe. After the fast is over, we must go to work. After we pray, we must live a righteous life so that our lives are conducive to a blessing state.
The world is searching for the living bread, so says the songwriter. I agree. The world is looking for hope. Tonight, the greatest part of our gathering was seeing the children singing and participating. I hope they remember that it was the prayers and righteous works that did it. I pray that as they go into adulthood, when they are faced with great challenges, that they will sing, pray, fast, meditate, concentrate, think and work their way to victory. God bless you all.
The spirits of Princess Georgia Latimer and Prince John B. Lewis, Jr. are pleased. Amen
Your obedient servant,
Rev. George H. Latimer-Knight
