Dear Pastor Richmond,
Feb. 21, 2012 |

Pastor Richmond, You have just confirmed something that I have been hearing for some time. I have been seeing that the fall occurred in the mind of man and the serpent was just the thoughts in their own mind. I do not always think that everything is a spirit picture ONLY but that there are real people and real events that the Bible speaks of. It is neat to me that lately God has been showing me how even the literal person/event can speak the truth and not take that physical person/event away from someone that has been taught that all their lives. If it was a literal serpent then it is easy to see that if he was "more crafty than the other beast God made" (I believe the animals could speak and had more ability than they do now)...then he contributed to the fall through the "mind" as well. All mind was in the spirit at that point and there was no separation, there were not two minds. There really are not two minds today it is just belief that creates two minds. We just have to renew or bring our thinking to the fact that we are connected with God and there is no separation because of Jesus for anyone. Anyway, that antichrist spirit or adverse spirit was there at the beginning when God divided himself to create just like a cell divides to create new life there is always a cause and effect, a negative and positive in science in creation of life. God did not want that adversity to preside over his creation and he declared everything he did as GOOD and told them not to eat or entertain thoughts that would release good and evil in their thinking because it would cause separation from Him (goodness and life). He told them to eat or dwell from the tree of LIFE that he is and that he gave to them to trust him that he was giving them all that was GOOD for them. I really think that this potential to move away from the mind of life or good would have come out eventually whether it was Adam and Eve or whoever. It apparently was present in the animals as well but because they did not have dominion, they could do nothing to make it actually happen. However, that anti or adverse spirit is still alive because it is still God and it wants to survive and be heard. That is where Jesus comes in. Because he was to subdue and destroy what Adam undid. He was to renew or "make all things new" again.....REnew. This time it was to be placed in our spirit (mind) to give us oneness just as you said,,," Him in us and us in Him as One. It’s not me and Him it’s only Him in my whole being". I don't think that Adam and Eve or anyone else after them had the capability to have this until Jesus. He was the plan at the foundation of the world. He brought back to wholeness in the physical realm to the spiritual what God had to do in the beginning to order to create, which was to divide starting with the spiritual to the physical. In other words, full circle or wholeness. Now we have this available. All mankind already has this but they don't know it, they are not taught it, they would resist it if you told them because of traditional beliefs. None of mankind is separate from God...they just believe they are. They believe they have to transform and change into something that God wants them to be instead of believing that they are this renewed and perfect spirit man already!! I know I am rambling. Just kind of started rolling when I starting typing to you that I liked what you wrote. We love you and Donna and think of you often!! Have a great day! Sandra |
| I feel like your melting
the iceberg between our ears. It helps me the way you put things in the
simple nutshell version yet they are so deep and profound.. the sod! Thank~you for sharing the truth of all that we are...servant-friend-sonship-oneness.. Simply Divine! Debra Vekasi |

Dear Apostle Roy Richmond,
I honor the Christ in you. My name is Shawn Smith, I am an American minister/priest flaying the Lamb in Cameroon.9 months ago, I was researching on the Pauline revelation, when Father God graciously guided me to your website. Before me I saw the realm of life beyond the rent veil, the pure, original, unadulterated gospel of Christ. I wrote you an email, and you so generously provided me with your ebooks, which I have not only read, but diligently studied. Your priestly ministry has given me the explanation of the gospel and not just its proclamation. Ever since, I have read every book on the website, and Father's Holy Spirit has also been teaching me the RMHPV of many passages. I can say with the confidence the comes from relying on the grace of God, I am not only a minister, I am now a witness. Thank you for your genuine love to present the Truth to the Nations, I love you as a father, My prayer is that many others will receive the blessing of seeing eyes and hearing ears. I believe in the "bodily" coming of Jesus Christ, He became the Spirit and came to dwell in my body-His Body, He has already come "bodily"! InChristed, Shawn Smith, Gospel of Christ Ministries Cameroon.

Hi Pastor Roy,
My name is Jeanette and just recently I was given a couple of CDs of your teaching when you were at Power of the Spirit Fellowship Cairns Australia in 2007. Can I just say how awesome your teaching is, the revelation that God is giving you is so profound and makes for such an incredible relationship with the Lord. In the past year I have left a major denomination/traditional church to be under the third day word in Power of the Spirit Fellowship, it was difficult to deal with the experiences that come with leaving behind doctrine etc especially when family and friends attend the former church and do not understand why I made such a move. But the teaching is so amazing and it seems that it fills the gap that always seemed to be missing from religion. Thank you for making the trip out to Cairns, my Pastor attended that conference and has since moved south to Mackay to pioneer the POSF church here in Mackay of which I am a member. With thanks and Blessings Jeanette |

All the questions I have written down in my heart that I needed

Snake Beaters.....I love it!!! This has been my #1 question and would
not give up, until I found it or Abba Father revealed it....seek and
you shall find ♥
God bless you Man of God!!!!! Cendee

Pastor Roy, I thought you might be encouraged by
this letter we received this weekend. Jerome 3-3-10 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, My name is RC. I am sentenced to the Pueblo County Jail for 18 months. I met a young gentleman by the name of Daniel, and he gave me a copy of the “Six Steps to the Throne.” I read it. “Awesome!” This is exactly what I’ve been preaching “Renewing the Mind” and this six steps to the throne has not only blessed me, it has also answered a lot of prayers of mine I have been praying for. I am overfilled with joy inexpressible. Two requests I have. 1. Could you please send me some copies, I have been passing the steps around and the gentlemen are asking “how to get it.” They’re hungry. 2. Where did you get it from? Is there a book? Could you also send me the name of it so I could get it? Please grant my requests. I am in 23 hour lockdown and I am studying, praising, fellowshipping with my Abba father, my Lord and Savior and the Blessed Holy Spirit and also praying in the spirit for 10 to 14 hours a day. The Lord told me in my spirit that he has given me a “precious jewel, the lips of knowledge” and also the “tongue of the learned that I may know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens me morning by morning. He awakens my ear to hear as the learned and I am not rebellious. Not do I turn away.” Also “whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breast? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.” For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people. To whom He said, “This is the rest with which you may cause the weary to rest” and “this is the refreshing.” Through my diligence as it is written, “diligence is man’s precious possession” and my obedience I have witnessed a demon cast out and men pray the prayer of salvation and men crying form powerful anointing “out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” for His word is alive, active, energizing, effective, penetrating, yoke-destroying, burden removing, tearing down those mental strongholds, walls come tumbling down, opens eyes, ears, hearts power of God to the believer and unbeliever. Our brothers and sisters of the body of Christ need to be set free. My heart aches for them. My time is coming. I’m a volcano ready to erupt. I’m pregnant with the word of God. Not only is my time coming, it’s happening now even in 23 hour lockdown. I am the repairer of the breach. There is so much I hear, ”but let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing” and “be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” I love my comforter, the blessed Holy Spirit. Thank you for your work and for blessing this servant of the Most High God. Jesus is Lord! May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the lord life up His countenance upon you and give you Peace… RC

Thank you for the info on some of your other materials
that I had not seen. I go on your web page almost every day, and I am
so blessed each time I go. I feel like I have gotten into Gods and
your candy store and I just feast on the sweetness and goodness of my
Father. Thank you. You are such an asset to the body of Christ. by the
way I saw where my other daughter Monique will be speaking at your
conference later this year. You will be so blessed.

Ok Roy, Here you go stirring up embers. I love this. I keep saying, that most, if not all of the behavior problems people have, is because of the way they view themselves. THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE OF A FATHER, WILL EMPOWER A SON! If a person really grasps hold of the love and acceptance Father has for them, it will change the way they see themselves, and when Satan (self condemnation) attacks, they will “believe” what the Father says, instead of the deceiver in their mind. This “belief” will motivate right behavior. Most of the church, performance based religion, who call themselves “Believers” are really “doubters”. If they really got this, “Satan” would be reduced to a mere bad idea in their mind, (instead of a big ugly red demon behind the sofa) rendered powerless! Love you guys, Keep it coming! Carol

Something to think about, Paul had just finished in 2 Cor. 2:10 telling the church to forgive themselves and to forgive others as Christ, then he wrote something that is really interesting. It’s in verse 11 Lest (satan) the hindering thoughts and actions should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of our (his) self (carnal) perception (devises). The words in italics were wrongly translated. The word ‘his’ in this verse should have been translated NT: 846 autos (ow-tos'); the reflexive pronoun ‘self’. The word ‘devises’ should have been translated NT: 3540 noema (no'-ay-mah); from NT: 3539; a perception, i.e. purpose, the intellect, disposition, itself:

I
enjoy being stretched. I want to understand [know] the FATHER. I thank
my Lord Jesus Christ for access to HIM. I would like to remain on your
list. I do not follow every wind of doctrine even within the groups I
affiliate with. I want more of HIM. I'm pursuing Him! I'm committed to
the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Jeanette January 26th, 2010 |
| January 26th, 2010 Thank you for the few minutes this morning. I received more out of those few minutes than what I can articulate right now. Paying attention to what Father said in a dream a week ago about "Focus On Royal Power" along with listening intently to you this morning is awakening me in deep depths! I am going to start today listening between yours and Kay's audio; Living Out of Spiritual Resources. It is so interesting of what Father said Focus on Royal POWER and what you were saying this morning about God being ONLY Power....Um....so interesting; so timely! Thank you again for your time this morning. Maybe as time permits we can do that again. I got more out of those few minutes than I have got out of whole services put together. Not being rude; just saying :-) As I got off the phone I felt freedom was surging through me like a rushing moving waterfall! I feel so alive from our conversation. I'm so thankful for this new direction because it goes with what Father said in that dream! I AM EXCITED TO STUDY TO SHOW MYSELF APPROVED in this shifting!!!!!!! To think there are people who does not attend your fellowship and they are close by to attend; goosh, I do not understand that!! Love & Honor you, Monique |
| Dear Pastor
Roy, I begun to shares this truth with my congregation and they asked me to stop with that American nonsense. So I had to leave and and some other people who believe it is true and not a nonsense. They followed me and we are studying together at my flat now. It is so great what God did. We are so blessed and my prayers are answered God for more revelation about Jesus. Let's stay in contact, I know it's just a beginning of something very wonderful. Stay blessed my dear Pastor and more and more knowledge of our Lord and Savior and greatest love ever Jesus. Yours, |
| Dear Pastor Roy, I am forty-two years old and Pastor of Kuntabunt -Naund, a new Church in Austria, Vienna, which started in Dec. last year. Before that I was pastoral assistant and one of the founders of the SOS Station Church. In 2007 after asking God for new and fresh revelation about Jesus, He brought from Australia a musician to Vienna. With him he brought two sermons from Joseph Prince from Singapore. After hearing them, I knew I have never heard the message of Jesus Christ as clear as this time, and I knew it it was he answer of my prayers and the beginning of something new. Meanwhile I listened to almost all of his sermons and I was missing something of which I couldn't say what it was. Some months ago, I found your web page. I cannot remember how, and when exactly but I started and readying from the studies you provide. There it was, what I was missing. The clearness of Jesus' work of redemption. Since then I cannot stop drinking from that water :)) I agree with you that Father God is calling everywhere on this planet ministers of the clear message of the Gospel. I am sure I am one of them here in Austria, and your teachings are helping me to become mature. We are at the beginning of something new and thank God for Tree of Life Ministries. Stay richly blessed, |

Per you
recent email regarding the feed back from other Pastors. I say keep
going. I have never been so "firm assurance" as I am right now. It
doesn't surprise me that some are choking on this material. It isn't
time yet for them. I enjoy reading and teaching your lessons.

January 23rd, 2010 Good
Afternoon, In the ministry myself, I have great compassion for my fellow ministers. I have been on sabbatical, but I am now moving toward new and fresh opportunities for ministry, and I am soon to begin writing my first book. Thank you for fulfilling the mandate to teach the finished work. You could have said no. We are blessed because you didn't. God Bless
You. |

January 23, 2010 Brother Roy Be blessed and encouraged in the Lord Dr. Phil

| Pastor Roy, This word just blesses me so, I love what the Lord is doing in you Pastor Roy. I cannot stop talking about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The messages that you send are renewing my mind. I am so full... when I am reading with my wife, I ask her, "do you get it," she says, "yes!" It makes me want to SHOUT SHOUT Jesus is Lord, Worthy is the Lamb! Thank you and God bless you and your family, Love Marvin and Carolyn from Chicago, IL |
| Pastor, without the Word
you teach as a Teacher/Pastor of the Word of God, I would have never
known Jesus Christ like I know Him now. I would have never known of my
union with Him as Him in me and me in Him and that my life is full of
the Spirit of God. I can't stop enjoying His Word. As you have told us
in your sermons, "just let the Word fill us." It's true the revelation
of Jesus Christ as found all through the Word of God is amazing
spiritual food. Thank you so much, C.C. |
| Thank you brother Roy for
your most incredible studies... I truly appreciate your time and
dedication to these lessons you e-mail and put on your web page. Truly
the seeking of the Lord is an awesome journey and PRAISE BE TO GOD for
the truth finally being told to ears that want to hear and eyes that
want to see. I must tell you also on your teaching "rapture fact or
fiction" in the audio ... AWESOME ... just incredible!!!! I am finely so
thrilled to know the complete truth knowing that there is NO RAPTURE ...
and how it started. It just goes to show God's Word is true. "Study to
show thyself approved!!!!" Praise be to God our Lord and keep on your
incredible journey through Christ our Lord.
In Christ love, |
| Hi Roy, Just touching base with you to let you know I'm still very much into your teaching on the net by listening and also by reading. As time goes along I continue reading and listening, these things are becoming more real to me. I still have a long way to go but I know this is the Truth of the Gospel and it's very liberating. I share as much as I can with friends and some are actually receptive to it like I have told you before. Have a great day in Him!!! Roy Muse - Nova Scotia

| Dear Brother Roy,
Just wanted to take some past due time out to let you know how much we appreciate the on-going lessons that we find in our mailbox. They are more like jewels in a treasure box! Our lives have been changed so dramatically since we first started feeding on the "True Bread." It is so refreshing to finally be able to really SEE CLEARLY, AND HEAR what the Spirit is saying to the Church. To get wisdom, and understanding and what it means to enter into HIS REST. We are so thankful to The Father for using you to expose us to the real truth, and the Holy Ghost for revealing it to us. Oh how backwards we have done things in the past, although one thing we are persuaded of now is not to look back... but ahead. It is nothing but good from here on. It gets better and better. We have made up our minds to be a sign and wonder in our area, which is so saturated with doctrines of men. We are surrounded by traditions that fight, kick and scream when it comes to change. We are not discouraged because those who are hungry will be fed. It is amazing when you explain these truths to people and they just sit in awe! They wonder..."where have you heard these truths?" Some just can't get enough and then there are others who just resist because it is not what "their church believes and teaches." Thank-you again so much for all you do, and especially to Donna for sharing you with the Body. We realize that it must consume a great amount of your time and that is a sacrifice on her part. We pray for you all. May the Lord continue you both day by day and keep you strong In Him and the power of His might! Ever-Ascending - The Weiler's - Irvin & Diane |

| Pastor Roy, I have been
enjoying your lessons for six years now and I tell you that you continue
to amaze me with with revelation of the cross. I have to be honest it's
hard to keep up, nevertheless, I am being blessed. I pray that Father
will continue to give you the grace on your lips to speak. God bless you
and your family, as well as my brothers and sisters at tree of life.
Love, Doug |
| We started teaching the
Redemptive work of Jesus Christ in our fellowship. Pray for us to teach
it effectively. I appreciate your wisdom and hard work to get the Gospel
to the world. Remember, a diligent hand shall rule.... God bless you,
Pastor Tom |

January 22,2010 Brother Richmond, I just want to thank you for sharing with us all that the Father is revealing to you. It is such conformation and encouragement. Bless you,

Pastor Roy, Someday I will have to give you my testimony
regarding the journey of my spiritual growth and the different paths it
has taken. I know what it feels like to have the integrity of your
spiritual teaching questioned. When I began teaching in the Baptist
church the TRUTH of the cross and it's finished works resulting in the
Most Holy Place abundant life in Christ, I was removed from teaching. I
DON'T CARE! Brother Duane Thank you Duane, I've been sharing these truths for fourteen years now - it happens all the time, but it still shocks me from who it comes from. It's almost always from the brethren you thought loved you and was going down the same path. They tell me they love me then they say "but." That negates everything they say before their "but" statement. I think once the revelation begins to deal with their belief and Father tries to come as a thief in the night (their mindsets), then they can't take it any longer. Pastor Roy |
|
January 22nd, 2010 Roy, Just want to encourage you in the work you are doing. Even though I struggle, sometimes, with what you write, I do not want to isolate myself from what the Spirit is saying. Keep sending it out, and I will keep reading. Thanks, Thom Cunningham CDPE. SRES, Broker/Associate

January 22, 2010 I personally want to thank you for the gift to the Body of Christ that you are. There are those who are not in a place to receive the messages that you present, yet, there are many of us who do. I am grateful that the Lord is making available new revelation that brings the body of Christ to a place of "being" and the ability to walk in the Revelation of Christ!!! Again "thank you" for being obedient to the Lord. Yours in Christ, Rev. Barbara B. Cady |
| Most respected Pastor Roy
Richmond IN the name of our Lord Jesus Christ you all are well. Thank
you for sending us great life knowledge for all of us. May people here
like us because we preach here with your messages that people learn with
a clear word of God. We preach in Lahore for Christmas 2009 in a night
worship program. Please send us a message for Christmas worship. Your
messages keep us in touch with many new peoples. Your
thoughts and teachings has great power for us, your Bible knowledge strengthens our
belief. You and your family bless us through the truth of God in Christ
Jesus our Savior. Your brother in Christ, |
| 12.05.2009 Dear Pastor Roy, Thank you ever so much for your time. I was humbled and moved - speaking with you. The treasure God has placed in you is rare and needs to multiply to many others. This light that God has given you will shine more and more until multitudes come out of darkness. Thank you for being faithful to the Call on your life. Amazing Grace!!! Oh and That Garden Enclosed - Yours is about to climb over the walls and cover the earth. As you so clearly have said, as Paul said - Reckon it to be so. Regards my friend, |
| 01.01.2010 Pastor Roy, I was reflecting over the past year, and I just wanted to say thank you and glory be to God for your ministry. Your teaching on the finished work of Christ, and the teaching you did in Chicago, and over your website has been a TREMENDOUS SPIRITUAL BOOST AND NOURISHMENT TO MY spirit. It helped me through some difficult challenges and hurdles in 2009. Your style of teaching feeds my spirit in a revelatory way and I thank God for you, and look forward to an increased, and enhanced fellowship with you and the ministry in 2010. Love and Blessings, |

Thanks Roy....I
was out all day and just now opening your reply. Thanks for calling me
today. It means a lot to me. I've never had anyone take this much
interest in my growth. I have a great deal of respect for some other
ministers and have listened to them quite a bit. However, it just seems
they're really busy. I've tried emailing them from time to time but I
don't get much a response. That's understandable I guess. So, for you
to take the time like you have means more to me than you know. From
talking to you today, God has given me a new sense of direction. I'd
like to begin to call Tree of Life Ministries International my local
church, my home, even though, we are miles apart. I'd like to be called
your disciple, your apprentice, as you teach me everything you know
through the Holy Spirit. I'm thankful that your burden is Christ. I'm
thankful that you are all about building people and not buildings. I'm
thankful that God has made you effective. I'm also thankful that you
do not sodden down the Lamb and that you refuse to sacrifice the
integrity of the Word of God. I'm thankful that you do not take the
fast lane to success like so many preachers who are after popularity and
prestige. I really mean all this from the bottom of my heart Pastor
Roy. There are not many like you Brother Roy. I will do my best to
learn what you have worked so diligently to learn yourself. I may have
to ask questions as I go. I've gotten to where I am because I ask
questions. So, if something hits me wrong I'm going to bring it up, not
because I want to argue or think I'm right, but because I really want to
learn your heart behind what it is you say. Like Pastor Garner use to
say, "people will stone you, not for what you say, but what they
"thought" you said." I won't stone you though ;). I just
ask questions. I'm sure you want me to ask questions if I don't
understand something. So please be patient with me as we journey
along. You will be the one I confide in from now on. I will confess my
character mark missing's to you because I already feel like I can trust
you 100%. I've been waiting for this day for a long time Roy. I've
been asking God to bring me someone. Someone that, by the Holy Ghost,
will grow me up and mature me, a friend, a mentor, a spiritual Father.
I haven't had that since Pat passed away. By the grace of God, I
will not let you down. By His Grace I will dive right into this as you
can probably tell I already have. You've been on my mind all day today
and I cannot tell you how renewed I am inside. Thank you Jesus, my Lord
and Saviour, for this divine appointment. WHAT A JOURNEY!!! Love you
Roy! Thank you! |
| Brother Roy, I have been feeding on the bread and wine since 2006. Father has honored my request ever since he showed me in my mind's eye a priest offering a lamb sacrifice. I started studying from a ministry that encourages journaling and visualizing in order to hear from God everyday. To my amazement it really works. I've shared this with some people and they invariably ask, "Why would God show you a priest and a sacrifice? Since studying the Bible studies of Tree of Life Ministries, I now consider you my mentor. It has revolutionalized my walk with God since seeing what I saw. One of your Bible Studies indicates that it's easy to witness something that one witnesses, if called to be a witness stand. At the time I received this vision, it was in black and white; it gave me a start because I jumped up from my knees in fear and trembling. What you teach is real. Before making contact with you this happened and it generated a lot of questions that I now have answered since finding Tree of Life Ministries. Your ministry is a God send and I am so glad you have dedicated yourself to training other Melchedesedic Priest. It is amazing that God will with a clear sounding voice prepare His body for taking him to the world as a dwelling place. I now know how to enter into God's rest when I understand that I am inChristed and everything He has I have because I am in Him. I find myself sounding just like you. Truly...out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Just wanted to share this with you as a praise report. Same Robinson |
| Nov. 14, 2009 From Kevin Main, A scripture I would like some explanation on comes from Romans
10:9-10.....salvation is obtained by confession. Growing up in the
Church of God and Assemblies of God this was a favorite scripture almost
always quoted and used in witnessing to others, or in an altar service
with a call geared towards confessing sin and accepting forgiveness and
Jesus as Saviour. Answer in two parts from Pastor Roy: First of all, the word confession is NT: 3670 homologeo (hom-ol-og-eh'-o) to assent, i.e. covenant, acknowledge: KJV - con- (pro-) fess, confession is made, give thanks. It does not mean to ask Father God to tell Father "all of your sins," and ask Him to forgive you. It means to give thanks, acknowledge that He is your Father and Saviour, and assent to the knowledge of Him, and give thanks = the that person will experience complete salvation (sozo), which means made whole not only in spirit, but also in their mind, will and emotions, and then the Apostle Paul wrote, we would know the redemption of the body. Read on for more explanation:
Kevin,
You can't just explain it without
reckoning it to be so; that's why I teach it from every picture in the
Old Testament, and then from what Paul wrote. I wish you could come
regularly so you can learn. It's like asking me about a math equation
if you were one of my math students, but you don't come to class to
learn how we get the answer. It won't help. I always tell people, you
should not be witnessing to something until you have seen what you are
witnessing. Often, people hear what we teach and preach, but don't set
under us to learn how we get what we preach, and they go out and start
proclaiming that "there is not hell," and "there is no devil" and that
all are reconciled and saved in spirit, but they can't explain it
because they haven't seen it. Yes they can believe it, but if they go
to others to convince just with what they believe, it won't work -
you've got to see it. Also I don't really like people to tell other
people what "I believe and know," without me being there to explain
it."
Also, don't tell people all are saved;
but that all are reconciled, meaning Father has nothing against
anyone, and if they were to die, they would be with Him, but that's
not the goal - the goal is life and life more abundantly right here.
When you say all are saved, they're not going to listen to you any
more. We have been rescued from the power of spiritual death, and
translated back into the realm of life, in our spirit, but we must
allow Father to renew our minds, and then the body will experience the
redemption that is already ours. But one must come to accept that gift
of redemption, and allow Father's Holy Spirit to quicken their
spirit-man so their soul can receive with meekness the engrafted word
of God. Until they come to the saving "knowledge" of their Lord Jesus
Christ, their spirit-man is impotent, meaning not able to impregnate
the womb (soul) and renew it with the life of God. Does that make
sense?
When I get home this afternoon, - I'll
explain to you what the confess with your mouth and in your heart
means. There is no place that people are told to ask for forgiveness -
we are to preach and teach that He has forgiven them already, and then
they will turn to Him. Peter was not asked by Jesus to repent or to
ask for forgiveness - Jesus just said, "Do you love me Peter?" just to
let him know that he still loved Jesus, even though he rejected him
three times. After Peter said yes I love you, then Jesus said then go
and pastor or tend my sheep - drive them to me with the message of the
Gospel. Peter went out and preached the Gospel with fire because he
had just experienced the love of Father God for himself (no
condemnation), and three thousand people were added to the Church that
day. I don't think you'll read where any of them had to ask to be
forgiven.
More about the word confession: The answer to your question concerning "confessing and asking for forgiveness," which the Church wrongly teaches.... as confessing our sins so we can be forgiven - that's not true... Read on.....
We need to remember what’s in us: We have, because of our faith in the operation of God,[1] righteousness, peace and joy in our spirit-man. We are to recall and stir up the things that are within us, and out of the Resource (inChristed spirit) of what Father has placed within us. We remember that Father God has forgiven all iniquity. That’s the greatest news one can ever hear, our Father is not holding any act of missing the mark against anyone. Father God has already punished humanity, in the person of Jesus, for what Adam had done in disobedience – all died in Him and all were judged in Jesus, as the entire human race. That is a staggering thought that Father God has already punished all who needed to be punished, and has forgiven all, including any act of mark missing people do from the power of a carnal mind. I know it’s true, because before I was born, Jesus died as all. I have missed the mark many times and thought wrong after my natural birth, and even after I’ve accepted His Lordship, I’ve made some mistakes. But yet Jesus bore all of that, and He is not imputing my or your trespasses against us.
He has forgiven us once and for all. I live in a state of unbroken communion with the Lord, because Jesus has dealt with all manner of sin. In 1 John 1 we are told to confess that we do miss the mark from time to time, and if we do then He is faithful to put those things away from our lives; guiding us away from all acts of unrighteousness. If we say we do not miss the mark, and are pious in our defending what we do in missing the mark, then we hinder his ability to work in our lives, to bring us to perfection [1 John 1:9 RMHPV] John did not instruct us to go around and confess everything we do wrong to others, but we should admit to our Father who knows everything already, where we are weak, and allow Him to move us away from that weakness. He will not take your friends from you, and often, what is an enemy in a person’s life, is held onto like a dear friend. Father wants us to agree with Him, so that we and He can walk together as one. He has already confessed that all manner of sin has been paid for and forgiven – with Him it is non-existent. When you confess missing that mark, you stop and say Father I just want to thank you that Jesus bore that and I agree with you that’s not who I am and not what I am; I agree with You that Jesus bore that. I thank you that I live in unbroken fellowship, and I trust You. That is the faith He desires of man.
It’s interesting to me they say there is only one verse in the New Testament where we are told to “confess our sins” to Father God, so Father can help move us away from whatever it is. The way most preachers talk about sin, the New Testament is full of exhortations to “confess sins and ask to be forgiven;” it is not! In fact we are never told to ask for forgiveness from Father God; forgiveness is a done deal. There is one other verse that exhorts us to confess faults (sins), but this one is to confess them one to another: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be (healed) made whole. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (Italics mine) [James 5:16 KJV] Sadly though, there are very few people who would qualify as one of the “one to another;” because of that, people are not able to confess their faults for fear of being talked about and looked down upon. We must become ones who can be trusted – then and only then, will true wholeness come to the body of Christ.
Confessing acts of missing the mark, without faith is nothing more than an exercise of a guilty conscience. There is no blessing for exercising a guilty conscience; you won’t find it in Scripture anywhere. I have missed it before; I’ve gotten angry with people, I’ve had other things happen, and did not feel like I could get up and minister to them. Every time Father reminds me that He is not imputing my trespasses against me, that He has already borne anger, or anything else I might have done. He loves me and those who I may have gotten angry with, and if I will agree with Father He will move me away from all of that, and then I can move in a greater anointing, and it has happened many times.
If you tell yourself you are unworthy and stupid, then you’re not moving in agreement with your Father. You must agree with what Father says about you by saying Father I believe your Word, and I agree with you that sin was already dealt with on the cross. I thank you Father that there is an un-broken state of mercy and forgiveness. Your mercy cannot fail, and your mercy does not fail, your blood cannot fail, I am redeemed. I thank you that I am not an angry person, I am peaceful, pleasant, and the fruit in my spirit (love) is governing me. That is what I believe and that is exercising faith. Just feeling bad about what you’ve done is an exercise of a guilty conscience and there is no blessing for doing that.
If we don’t deal with the acts of mark-missing in faith, we really are not dealing with it. It takes faith to deal with sin because any other effort is a self effort of righteousness, which is as a filthy minstrel cloth; its proof that we have not received the seed of Father’s Holy Spirit, into our fertile spirit. The more you miss the mark, the more you need to believe in what Jesus has done, not what He might do for you. Father God does not require you to make atonement for sin, He requires you to believe that He made the atonement for sin. Our instruction from Father God is “awake to righteousness, and then you’ll not miss the mark.” “Awake to righteousness and sin not.” KJV [1] The Redemptive work of Jesus Christ – Crucified, Died, Buried (the doing away with spiritual death in humanity) – Quickened, Raised and Seated (The present position of mankind today). I pray this helps you, and others who have these same questions. Blessings, Pastor Roy Richmond

Nov. 13, 2009 From Victor King: Jesus your 3 in 1 - Victor KingThe Bible tells us in the old testament (Leviticus 4) that when a person sins, he has to bring an offering to the high priest for the atonement of sins. There are 3 individuals involved here. The sinner, the sin offering and the high priest. Jesus fulfilled them all at the Cross. The sinner Jesus took our place as the sinner He who knew no sin was made sin for us" (2 Corinthians 5:21 The sin offering Jesus became our sin offering God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin,..... - Romans 8:3 The high priest Jesus became our High Priest ......consider the High Priest, Jesus" (Hebrews 3:1) When you've sin, don't run away from God like a sinner, run to God for Jesus has dies for your sins and He will help you out of it. Don't condemn, beat or punish yourself for Jesus became your sin offering. He was beaten and punished for you on the Cross. You don't have to go through somebody else or hide away from God once you have fallen or sinned. Go boldly to the Throne of Grace through your High Priest Jesus Christ. Jesus is your all in all. Look to Jesus. He is your Salvation. Amen! Jesus died for and as your sins. See your sins on the Cross in Jesus Christ. See It Nailed. (S.I.N) GOD: “I will NOT remember your sins & your wrong-doings anymore”. - Hebrews 10:17 By His Grace, Victor King Pastor Roy's reply:
Good word Victor:
So the fact is, we are no longer sinners. Do we miss the mark
sometimes; yes but that is not who we are. We are spirit, and we have
a soul that is being renewed to the point that the body will
experience the redemption it already has. When we miss the mark, He is
faithful to convict us and then we just respond to Him and repent,
which means by faith we turn to Him for whatever we were getting out
of the thing that caused us to miss the mark. We don't preach or teach
about sin to make people quit sinning, we preach and teach nothing but
Jesus Christ, and Him crucified, and mans identification with the
operation of God - Crucified, Died, Buried, Quickened, Raised and
Seated. I don't even talk about "sin" anymore. I talk the answer, and
the answer is what will change our nature to the point that we will
not even want to do those things that traduce and hinder His life;
we'll not even desire them anymore. It's a nature change we need, not
being able to "quit" anything. Just keep holding out the bread and
wine of the Gospel to all who are hungry, and respond to the all of
Father's Holy Spirit and the Bride to come.
Peter did the worst thing a person could do, and he did it three
times; He denied His Lord and Saviour. After Jesus had ascended to the
Father, he was ashamed and decided to go back to his old life - the
others went with him. They went fishing for natural food and support.
Jesus appeared on the sea shore, and when they saw them, Peter knew it
was Him. Peter was naked (like Adam after he decided to go it on his
own), and then Peter covered himself with a fisherman's coat, and
jumped into the sea (confused and lost people), to hide himself from
Jesus. The others rowed their boat to shore, and Peter came swimming
up later. Jesus told them to bring their full net that did not break
or lose any of the fish (Jesus' work caught all mankind), and Peter
began to count them (busying himself in front of his saviour because
he could not face him). Jesus said, Peter don't you love me more than
these fish (counting your members). Jesus asked him "three times" do
you love me, and Peter said yes Lord. (Jesus was causing Peter to know
that He did love Jesus, even though he denied Him out of fear) It was
a foregone conclusion that Jesus loved Him and all people. Jesus never
dealt with Peters mark-missing or even mentioned it. He just said,
Peter, go feed my sheep. The word feed means Pastor or tend. See, no
matter what a person thinks they have done, that could disqualify them
from being who Father has called them to be and do, all they need to
know is that He loves them, and they love Him; so just get busy and
Pastor, teach and tend the people of this world; drive them to Him
with the message of His love and the truth of the Gospel. It's the
love of Christ that constraineth a person, not dealing with their
mark-missing. Father God is not concerned with our mark-missing; so
why is it an issue with "Church" people? Jesus knew He already dealt
with Peter's denial, and Peter should have known that too. Poor Judas,
didn't know and he hung himself before Jesus could go and pay the
price - if Judas would have waited just a few days, Jesus would have
come Judas and done the same thing: "Judas" do you love me - I know
you do, do you know you do? The go Pastor my people. This is our
message to all we come into contact with - Father God loves you with
an everlasting love - do you love Him? Then go be the Cheribum
(Blessing) that you are and tend His sheep - you'll never be happy
doing anything else for your peace and happiness. Selah....
2 Cor 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus
judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
The word constraineth is: NT: 4912 sunecho (soon-ekh'-o); to hold
together, i.e. to compress or arrest (a prisoner);, to compel,
preoccupy: KJV - constrain, hold, keep in, press, stop, be in a
strait, straiten, be taken with, throng.
Once a person has been taught the love of Jesus Christ - Father God -
Holy Spirit - then they will just stop in awe of His glory and
marvelous works, and turn to Him for their peace, and will allow Him
to change them from glory to glory.
Just a thought that you might want to share.
Love you Victor - keep spreading the Real Good News.

Nov. 12, 2009 Hello Brother!!! I love it when God directs me to do this!!! And I know "nothing" of the person beforehand. It happens to me on the internet. I didn't hear about you from NObody! I just surf the facebook friends of my friends til I am quickened to notice one. This is the absolute truth. I look to bless those that have searched and studied diligently .......I am in the South; Tennessee. .I have written on the forums, Kingdom forums, for several years. I am pretty much homebound at this point in my life and my fellowship is here ....... I have written and studied extensively MYself. And I have NEVER gotten disinterested in the real things of God. My cup runneth over, in spite of all things in the natural. God spoils me. Thank you Carlene; Father spoils me too; maybe He is particularly fond of us; you think? I read your post on my page. We have over 5 million people who have come to our web page over the last ten years, and most of them say the same thing. Father instructed them to search for "Tabernacle of Moses," "The Feasts of the Lord," or some other study, and they put it in the search engine, and our web page came up. He knows how to connect His remnant, if they will just listen to Him. I pray you enjoy and are enlarged in soul and body by what you read on our web page. Father has made me a Scribe/Pastor, and I enjoy, with His help, grinding out the Word and making it palatable so that all those who read and hear will stand up as ONE man - Christ in the earth with Father God - Jesus Christ - Holy Spirit as our Head. Look forward to our fellowship. You might read some things in our study that are different than you've heard from others; don't quit just because you may not understand. That would be like quitting school because you can't see how 1 plus x = 5, so x is 4. Just sit and let the teacher help you understand and then you'll be able to answer all kinds of equations - I think what I'm trying to say is what Paul said, "Reckon these things to be so, and also a student of the Word won't be made to feel ashamed by religious teachers, if they'll study the Word themselves and find out that Father God has already approved of them. I'm sure you know all this already. Blessings my sister, Roy E. Richmond |

2009 Dear Pastor Roy, Thank you ever so much for you
time. I was humbled and moved - speaking with you. The treasure God has
placed in you is rare and needs to multiply to many others. This light
that God has given you will shine more and more until multitudes come
out of darkness. Thank you for being faithful to the Call on your life.
Regards my friend, |

Nov. 11, 2009 I didn't realize you had a secular job in addition to your ministry. God has blessed you with such revelatory spiritual insight, and I appreciate your messages. They teach, encourage, and inspire me a great deal. Your time will come, I retired from my secular job of thirty five years just last year. God has blessed you with great grace to do both in this season of your life. Love and blessings,

From: G. L. Parks Brother Roy, Reply:
I am in total agreement with
you. Many of my Pastor friends and teachers believe in a bodily return
too. I don't understand how they can study what they study (unless
they are not reckoning Jesus' redemptive work to be complete), and not
see that fact that He did return in man. After all I've learned
from my many teachers, I don't understand why some of them will not
go on in their knowledge of the truth. They look at me like, "that
poor young man." I think some of them know the truth but they don't
want to lose the crowds they preach to. The crowds always want the
outer court stuff - when you preach the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, the crowds won't come around. Right now Father is sending us
to the people who want to grow up, and they're not very big crowds,
but they are hungry for more than just outer court things - healings,
miracles, prophecies, being knocked down and everything else that goes
on in the "crowd" gatherings. I'm not against those things, but
they're not Father God's best - His best is for us to grow up, and
be Priest of His Most Holy Covenant.
Jesus even said, "I am the light
of the world," then He said, "As long as I am here, I'm the light of
the world," then later Paul, while explaining Jesus' redemptive work
said, "now the true (us) light of the world shines." It's so plain,
but if a person wants a bodily return of Jesus then they can't see the
truth right in front of their face. Just like they did when Father God
stood in front of them in the body of Jesus - they could not see
because they either did not want Him to be there for fear of losing
control of the people, or they wanted Him to be their physical King
right then. It will be interesting to see how many people will come to
discuss this important matter. The Church is still stuck in physical
or natural things; she needs to rise up in the spirit realm. Jesus is
here. He was Son and now He has made all Son. We are Sons of God -
Adam - Man with the life of God in our spirit, and Life (zoe)
is beginning to reign in our souls. His life will reign in our body if
we don't die in body first. I'm believing that we are of those who are
alive in body, and remain at the coming of His life in the whole man,
and in a corporate body.
"The second coming" as a future
event, is one of the false doctrines that keeps Father's people from
being everything that He has made them to be. He came, and most missed
knowing it; but they did not miss it. It's sad that we have had Father
in us, and never knew it. I know it now, and no one can convince me
that I am not Son of God just as Jesus was in His earth walk, and as
man was before the fall. He (Father God) is preeminent in all things
though. I believe we are more than man was before the fall. We are not
of the earth - we have been born of the spirit. Father repented that
He had made man of the earth.
What's interesting, is that the
"big named" (no disrespect intended) preachers and "prophets") still
believe in a second coming; but the "little ministers" who are used to
grind the Word out and make it palatable, and those who study from our
web pages, do not seek after a second coming. We have thousands of
visits to our web page, every day, and for the most part, they have
all seen the truth for themselves. The reason why, is they are not
just studying to come up with a SERMON, to wow the people. They are,
like you, Butch and other Most Holy Place Priest; we are workmen, who
are not ashamed with what we know of the Word, because we are showing
ourselves that Father God has approved of all mankind, and we have
been tested in the Word, and now think as He does. We are studying to
give out the bread and wine of the Gospel, not just
feed for ourselves or to get a "great sermon."
Isa 58:3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not?
wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge?
Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your
labours. 4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with
the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make
your voice to be heard on high. 5 Is it such a fast that I have
chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his
head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt
thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? 6 Is not
this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to
undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye
break every yoke? 7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and
that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou
seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself
from thine own flesh? 8 Then shall thy light break forth as the
morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy
righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy
rereward. KJV
We have been made, of our Father, Most Holy Place Priest; we do not have to be ashamed. We just need to know whom we have been sent to, and go be the Apostles (mentors) we've been called to be - they're waiting for us G. L., and it's time to go. Father spoke to me about six months ago to quit waiting for the Churches (places I've fellowshipped with) to invite me to come, and start going to people's homes, and the "small" Churches who are ripe and ready to be mentored - I'm not waiting on those who don't want to grow up - I'm going out now. There are people who haven chosen to stay in elementary, and high school levels of understanding, but there are those who are wanting to go on to graduate school and change this world - that's who we are after. Not that we can't minister in any realm; but we've been called to equip the graduate students. I'm not sure if we can convince people who want "a second coming," but it will be interesting to hear their reasons why they believe. I pray they will wake up because they influence a lot of people. As Pastor Garner once said, "It's time for people to bring their brain to Church with them," not their natural mind, but their mind that is inChristed. We are to blow the Jubile Horn now - all things have been restored - Life (zoe) has come back into man, and we have His life in us NOW - we just need to feed and feed and feed on the revelation of Jesus' redemptive work, until the Life of God quickens our soul and body. An inChristed Son of God...

24th, 2009 From: Pastor Joshua An artist was at an Art show, and a couple came to his booth to request a fast pencil sketch to be drawn of the mans wife. The artist complied, and within a few minutes he handed the beautiful sketch to the couple. They thought it was wonderful, and thanked him for it. He replied, "That will be $200 please." The man protested loudly, "Two Hundred dollars; that only took you fifteen minutes!" The artist replied, "No, that took me a life time." From: Pastor Roy Very good Joshua; thanks for sharing. Next time a minister ask for a fair price for their books, tape sets and CD' or the support plate is being passed; we should not think, "Why does it cost so much to provided these teaching materials"? Why should we pay him or her very much; they only preach to us one or two hours a week." No family, what Most Holy Place Priest are offering you, took them a life time to prepare for, and it took Jesus' life. Don't just pray for them, be the answer (Christ the giver) to their needed support.
