Harry Baker SECOND MESSAGE 14
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that I the Lord, am the advocate of the meek of the earth; and the lowly of heart shall find rest in me; yea, their joy shall be full. They are they which believe on the Son, to walk in His counsel, not regarding their own. They are they which do my will, even as I do the Fathers will. They are the sheep of my pasture and I will set them upon my right hand; but the opinionated ones who walk in the pride of their own wisdom, shall be gathered upon my left, saith the Lord of Hosts. For they are they which choose their own wisdom rather than the wisdom of God, and have shut themselves off from the light of heaven; refusing to receive the truth, that they might have that wisdom which is from on high.
Neither do I pray for them which repent not, wherefore their guilt remaineth upon their own heads.
But the prayers of the Son ascendeth unto the Father for all them which believe on the Father, through my words, wherein I testified of Him to the world in the former time and do now testify of Him again to you; for them do I pray unto the Father; that through obedience unto my law, which is mine Everlasting Gospel, they may be forgiven and brought under the shadow of the mercies of heaven. And this will the Father grant unto me, for the Father is full of mercy and long suffering; for my sake, because He loved me, and behold, I say unto you, for your sake, also, because He sent His Only Begotten Son into the world, that, after men had fallen and tasted of that sin which was to make them wise unto His eternal service, wherein they were to partake of His eternal glory, they might be redeemed from under the law of His eternal justice, wherein they had subjected themselves unto eternal misery and banishment from His presence.
And thus did the Father provide a Redeemer, of His own body begotten, that, after men had sinned and been banished from His presence in the Garden of Eden, they might be restored again, and the ends of eternal justice remain unshaken and infinite mercy be brought to light.
Wherefore, I say unto you, that the fall of man was foreordained of the Father in the heavens before the earth was made. Wherefore, the redeemed of the Lord will rejoice forever in the fall. For if they had not fallen, there would have been no Redeemer, and the riches of the mercies of God would never have been brought to light, and the joys of redemption would never have been known to man, or the dominions and glories of eternity added upon his head forevermore.
Amen.
