Results of Denial
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians 15, 12 – 20:
But if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then empty too is our preaching; empty too your faith. Then we are also false witnesses to God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins. Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are the most pitiable people of all. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Some have sent me half of the money I need. I still need $2,500 and after that I should receive the money. I need to receive the rest of that money tomorrow as I have to go and bring the money to the court. Please if you can send me some money tomorrow I would be very pleased indeed. Then I would have paid all the money that the court wants. I thank all those who have sent me money during the last days.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“The question I put to you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters is this: Am I risen from the dead? Did My Resurrection really take place? Is My body still in the tomb outside Jerusalem? It is true that some do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, so that means for them that I am not risen but My body is still in the tomb. If that should be true it would be a lie to preach that I am risen from the dead. Your faith would also be useless and all would still be in their sins and they will not be saved.
However, the truth is this: I rose from the dead, three days after I died on the cross. It is those who say there is no resurrection that are saying lies. I am risen from the dead and at the end of the world all the dead will rise too with a glorified body never to die again. Come My friends and believe with all your heart that I am resurrected as I told the Apostles before I died. Believe too, My Friends, that all the dead will rise from the dead at the end of the world. Those who followed Me in their lives on earth will be with Me to heaven and those who refused to believe in Me will be sent below to hell. Come and believe and you will all be saved. I love you all and I bless you.”

P.S. We had a cloudy day but there was no rain or snow.
