back in 1953 and for some years, that he did have God's Holy Spirit. But I
SEE ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE OF IT NOW!
God says, "It is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, if they
shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance, seeing they crucify to
themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame" (Heb. 6:4-6).
Ted has sinned. YOU have sinned. I have sinned. All but Jesus Christ
have sinned. But as long as my son has not committed the UNPARDONABLE SIN,
all his sins, just like all of yours and of mine, CAN BE FORGIVEN--if he will
ever be willing to repent. The Scripture quoted above does not say it is
impossible for God to forgive. It says it is impossible for those who really
have been given the supreme gift of God's Holy Spirit to BE WILLING TO REPENT.
The blood of Jesus Christ was so precious it paid for ALL OF OUR SINS! So
please pray for Garner Ted's WILLINGNESS to REPENT! God stands willing to
FORGIVE, as He has forgiven you and me.
THANK YOU, DEAR BRETHREN, FOR YOUR PRECIOUS LOYALTY--FOR THE WONDERFUL
MANNER IN WHICH YOU HAVE STOOD BEHIND ME AND GOD'S WORK IN THIS TIME OF TRIAL
AND DISTRESS! THANK YOU FOR KEEPING YOUR TITHES AND GENEROUS OFFERINGS COMING.
It is necessary to continue sending them to me in Tucson, Arizona. We have
moved the entire staff that opened and counted the mail to Tucson. God be
with you.
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
