Greetings everybody,

This is a prayer I wrote a few years ago, there is actually a very specific reason I wrote it but I'd rather not discuss it in the here and now. In any case, I feel that it is a useful prayer for people whom live a life of sin - surely most of us do to an extent, however minor, but I mean for those whom do not repent, those whom see no wrong in hurting others, those whom have flirted with edges of the insurmountable cliff-edge so to speak. I suppose it could be used more generically as a means of repentance.

In Testimony to the Spirit of the Holy Ghost

For ye hath taken His name in sacrament,
And yet He is most displeased.
For ye hath taken His name in deceit,
And yet He shan’t ever be fooled!

If it be that He returnth as witness,
Yea, to such unholy sacrilege.
If it be that He cometh with testimony,
Hear now that ye repent!

Might His Father see that ye not,
He shalt knoweth thine wickedness.
And His Father, Our Father in Heaven,
Bestoweth upon sinners His mercies!

Let it not be that ye taketh His churches!
Let it not be that ye staineth His temples!
Let it not be that ye rile His good grace!

Yea, and with every reverence ye now saith with me;

In the name of the Heavenly Father;
Of the Holy Spirit, and;
Of our Lord, Jesus Christ;

Amen.

Believe this SS,

we, each and everyone of us have choices, some we can see, others we can't
until the right moment: but the ones that we do see and do nothing about,
here is where 'trouble' begins...

there's is no 'gray-area' with our Saviour, after all why would there be, He gave IT ALL!...

Indeed we do have choices; agency or counsel as it could also be said. Some things are fairly minor, such as drinking, smoking, promiscuity, etc. Sometimes we might say something horrible in a moment of anger and really hurt somebody's feelings, insomuch that they remember it for the rest of their life, and it's things like that which we must repent of. Actual harm upon a person, that's where it gets tricky because we have to make an extensive effort put right that wrong.

However, there are some things, at least per my own personal opinion, which can neither be forgotten and nor forgiven. Again, I don't wish to explain myself here because it's a very sensitive topic but I assure you that this prayer was written for a very specific reason; it is a final call to those whom engage in the worst of all sins. It is said that blasphemy is the worst, but one has to completely sever themself from the Holy Spirit in the first place in order to be able to commit crimes against a person which are simply irredeemable, in that neither person nor patron could forgive them. That is to say, some crimes are best dealt with by firing squad, so this is indeed a final call to repentance for those whom still have a chance to return unto the true path.

This ties in with the Eleventh Commandment which, by the Grace of God, I have received.

the 'eleventh-Commandment' = it's just a simple 'repeat', Love God, Yeshua, FIRST,
and you will be loved/blessed in kind...

You might misunderstand what I'm saying.

The Eleventh Commandment is an appendage to that which was delivered to Moses on the Mount Sinai. It is by Revelation from God that I know of this new Commandment; it is by Divine Wisdom indeed that I know of why it must be delivered unto all the peoples of our world. The time has arrived at which all civilisations require a nudge in the right direction before we venture too far down the slippery slope insomuch that we might never be able to clamber back homeward. It is by God's Will that I have received a message, and it is by God's Will that it shall be told. Alas, it is for the Church of England to hear it first.
