takes care of those who take care of themselves there is not
the pain taken here that there ought to be if we do what
we can the Lord will do the rest if I go & preach to the people
I do my duty then the people must obey for themselves. I
will not do it Neither will the Angels come & do your work
for you But you have got to do for yourselves. The Lord will
not come & raise your Bread you must raise it yourselves
I say to you to stop dealing with the wicked. Stop swearing
& drinking treat your Animals kindly God does not give
you Animals or wives & children to abuse we shall be held
Responsible for all we do. Could our Eyes be open to see the order
of Enoch we should be ashamed of ourselves
