"Wherefore, he that preacheth and he that receiveth,
understandeth one another, and both are edified and rejoice
together; and that which doth not edify, is not of God, and is
darkness; that which is of God is light, and he that receiveth
light and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light
groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day. And, again,
verily I say unto you, and I say it that you may know the truth,
that you may chase darkness from among you; for he that is ordained
of God and sent forth, the same is appointed to be the greatest,
notwithstanding he is least, and the servant of all; wherefore, he
is possessor of all things, for all things are subject unto him,
both in Heaven and on the earth; the life and the light, the spirit
and the power sent forth by the will of the Father through Jesus
Christ, His Son; but no man is possessor of all things, except he
be purified and cleansed from all sin; and if ye are purified and
cleansed from all sin, ye shall ask whatsoever you will in the name
of Jesus, and it shall be done; but, know this, it shall be given
you what you shall ask, and as ye are appointed to the head, the
spirits shall be subject unto you.
"Wherefore, it shall come to pass, that if you behold a spirit
manifested that you cannot understand, and you receive not that
spirit, ye shall ask of the Father in the name of Jesus, and if he
give not unto you that spirit, that you may know that it is not of
God; and it shall be given unto you power over that spirit, and you
shall proclaim against that spirit with a loud voice, that it is
not of God; not with railing accusation, that ye be not overcome;
neither with boasting, nor rejoicing, lest you be seized therewith;
he that receiveth of God, let him account it of God, and let him
rejoice that he is accounted of God worthy to receive, and by
giving heed and doing these things which ye have received, and
which ye shall hereafter receive, and the kingdom is given you of
the Father, and power to overcome all things which is not ordained
of Him; and, behold, verily I say unto you, blessed are you who are
now hearing these words of mine from the mouth of my servant, for
your sins are forgiven you.
