I believe Carl will be set apart sometime to be an Apostle and a Patriarch. Then he will have a Priesthood of his own. He then will become a member of the Church of the Firstborn. It doesn?t make any difference, then, whether you are a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or not. (He said he would hate to lose us. I had told him of some of the offers we had. He said he loved me very much?not in a passionate way, but it was because of my spirit.)

Main thing is get the Spirit of God. God spoke to me?He said, ?Go tell the people to get the Spirit of God and keep it.? I delivered that message and since then things have been getting worse. Be careful what we say. Expect to see a revival in this place. Expect you to live the laws of God. Help me to live so that God will a
