All Hail to the Christ Within,

Peace unto all as we close the fifth day of fasting.

I finally had a brief hunger attack. I’m used to fasting from Thursday evening to Friday evening, so I was fine all day. But at 6pm tonight I became never hungry. The only thing that stopped me was the thought that if I quit now, the whole week would have been in vein.

During my meditation this morning I heard a simple phrase, “Empty you, get more me.” Glory to God. Empty you, get more me. Truly this was the spirit of God talking from within. We must let go of our foolish ways. We must saturate ourselves with God’s Word. I can hear Prince John Lewis, “When they hit you, only the word should come out….When they wring you, only the word should come out.” Of course, something cannot come out that was not in, in the first place. Therefore, we must get God’s precious word in us.

Yes, I’m going to say it again, “It comes through fasting and praying.” These spiritual tools and techniques left on record by God are here for our benefit. Let us use what Father Hurley taught us to lead us to a victorious life. Peace and Love.

Your obedient servant,
Rev. George H. Latimer-Knight

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

As we travel through the roads of life, obstacles will get in our way. However, we must press forward. In order to do so, we must have faith. Faith that no matter how things look, a brighter future is ahead. In our Message Circle service tonight, I was reminded of a great analogy concerning the sun.

When Mo. Christine Milton was in her final stages of life, Rev. John Lewis had me give her a message, out loud, from the pulpit. It was in the fall 1999 (she passed that December). The message from the Spirit was, “Remember, the sun is always shining. Even on a cloudy day, the sun is shining. Even at the darkest hour of night, the sun is shining. Regardless of whether you see the sun, it is shining for you. God, through the teachings of Father Hurley, has given you a great light, the sun. This Sunlight will always shine on you.” When I stepped out the pulpit, I looked at Mo. Milton, she had a big smile on her face.

This message is for you as well. It can make you smile through your trials. No matter the obstacles in your life, the sun is still shining. Have faith in tomorrow. I can heard my grandmother, Rev. Georgia Latimer saying, “Where there is life, there is hope.” So, since you are still alive, there is hope. Life WILL improve, provided you keep faith and hope alive, and are willing to work for it.

May God bless and keep you. And may the sun, which represents light and wisdom, ever bless you.

I have the honor to be your obedient servant,
Rev. George Latimer-Knight
