Sackcloth & Ashes: The Dead in Christ Shall Rise First, (Hardcover)

Who will listen to the life saving commands of the Lord? No Bible, nothing was written, except in the heart of the believer, trusting the messenger of God. "Build an Ark", "Smear Your Door with The Blood of the Lamb", "Do Not Look Back or You will Turn to Stone"....

Supported by scripture, today's message is this: LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY! as instructed in 1 John 3:16, REPENT in SACKCLOTH & ASHES for yourself and your ancestors SO THAT THEY MAY BE WITH THE FIRST TO RISE IN CHRIST, as noted in Nehemiah 9:1-3, Matthew 11:21 and Matthew 12:39, and The Churches must UNITE! As the Lord requests us to do in 1 Corinthians 1:10. He has promised victory in Matthew 16:18 at which time I believe our Unconditional Love will be tested.

I have noticed that great things are accomplished when a person takes the first step of faith, then the Lord responds. He clearly states in Isaiah 58 that the glory of the Lord will be our reward and that He will answer, if we repent in sackcloth & ashes, stop pointing the finger, speaking vanity and take away the yoke in our mist. We must take the first step!

In 2004 the Lord led me to repent in Sackcloth using ashes. I felt really weird or odd, call it whatever you want, but, I know I was being obedient to the Lord. It took months for me to know what to do and how to use it in a way pleasing to the Lord. My mind is so small and He teaches in little bits here and there.

The morning of March 26, 2007 I received a distinct thought not my own. It said to me: "a multitude of sins are forgiven you for you have loved much." However, now knowing, that I was informed that I had a multitude of sins that I did not know existed, I was alarmed. Consequently, I began looking for sins to confess and wrote them down. Every time I saw accusations in the bible, I wrote down those sins too. I have included them in this book, I am sure many are missing, please confess for me and all ancestors if you know of others. The holiest man I knew told me before he died to keep praying for the dead and never assume that they are in heaven. I realize now that that was a very good idea!
