CHAPTER 1

Reverend W. Norwood Starks a servant and friend of Jesus Christ our lord and savior, who called, appointed, anointed and ordained me to be a minister and bond servant for Jesus. Who directed and instructed me to preach the gospel and bring all Christians and others to the attention of His Eleventh commandment. Where Jesus Christ our Lord and savior gave the peoples a NEW COMMANDMENT, and instructed all his Disciples and all the peoples that followed and believed in him, namely, the Christians and Christian Churches, to follow in lifting up the Lord and keeping his commandments, TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND BECOME AS ONE, TO ONE ANOTHER, As Jesus commanded in John, Chapter 13, verse 34-35; John Chapter 15, verse 12-15; John, Chapter 17, verse 11, and 20-24. The Lord called me and commanded me to tell the people to become AS ONE, as He had commanded. Where all that obeyed could obtain peace, happiness and joy as the Lord intended. And for me to gather the people together and lead them to the king’s highway to obtain salvation, as the hour is near, as follows:

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he has sent me to bind up the broken hearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bond. And heal the sick.

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn;

To appoint unto then that mourn in Zion; to give unto them beauty for ashes; the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the lord, that he might be glorified.

And they shall build the old wastes, they shall rise up the former desolations and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolation of many generations.

And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

But you shall be named the priests of the Lord; men shall call you the ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourself.

For your shame you shall have double, and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be upon them.

For I the Lord love judgment. I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

And their seeds shall be known among the gentile, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the lord hath blessed.

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garment of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

For as the earth bringth forth her buds, and as the garden causes the things that sown in it to spring forth, so the lord god will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. See Isaiah, chapter 61, verses 1-11.

CHAPTER 2

Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior in John, chapter 13, verse 34-35, (King James version) stated: a new Commandment I give unto you that you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another; (35)- by this all men shall know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. And Jesus further stated in John Chapter 15, verse 12- 15, This is my Commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. (13) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (14)- Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (15)- Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you; Moreover in John, chapter 17, verse 11, as Jesus prayed to the Father concerning his Disciples stated: and now I am no more in the world but these are in the world and I come to thee Holy Father, keep through thine own name those which thy have given me, that they may be one, as we are. Other words, Jesus prayed to the Father on behalf of his disciples for them to be as one to one another and become as one, as the Lord and God are one.

Furthermore, in John, chapter 17, verse 20-24, Jesus, speaking of his disciples, (20)- neither pray I for these alone but for them also which shall believe in me through their words; (21)- That they all may be one; as thou, father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thy has sent me. (22)- And the glory which thou has given me, I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. (23)- I in them and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that thou hath sent me, and hath loved them, as thou hath loved me. (24) -Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Therefore, from a close reading of the scripture and John, chapter 13, verse 34-35, John Chapter 15, verse 12-15, and John, chapter 17, verse 11, it is very clear that Jesus commanded his Disciples to become as one, and to love one another and further, that all people that follow him and believed in Him, to become as one, and in John, chapter 17, verse 20-24 it is furthermore very clear that through a close reading of the scripture it is very clear that Jesus intent and wording was directed to all Christian, and Christian churches regardless of color or creed, whether it’s Baptist, Methodist, Holiness, or any other denomination of religion, that all of them should follow his commandment and become as one, to one another.

Moreover, and keeping the words and commandments of Jesus in loving one another and becoming as one to one another, that would result in all Christians obtaining grace, mercy, peace, and protection from the Lord and Savior, and such protection would further result in all Christians obtaining safety, strength, success, security, and salvation, it is clear that where all Christians form together as one that would consist of a massive group of individuals and there is safety in numbers; "and where a large massive group joins together as one it is well understood that there is strength in numbers; next where all Christians joins together as one there would be success in numbers; where there is a massive group of people formed together as one working for one accord there would always be security in numbers, because Jesus clearly stated, that where there is two or more joined in union in prayer, that he would be in the midst thereof, and anything that you ask the
