Institution of the Lord’s Supper
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Hello beloved; who have been saved by grace (GOD’S gift to the world—His only begotten Son-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS) through faith (in the precious Blood, death, burial, and resurrection [on the third day, according to Scripture] of our Messiah-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS-by His Holy Spirit; for the forgiveness of our sin of self-righteousness.) Amen.
Good morning beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. My heart is joyous this morning, because I have the confidence to say that I have a spiritual son, Roger Turner; and would like to extend a blessed morning to my spiritual son, Roger Turner. Amen.
This morning, I am much thankful to my LORD-GOD for this young man, for my LORD-GOD has blessed me much through this man of GOD; when he was my mentor, after I received a scholarship from the Akron Black Firefighters for EMT school, then for Paramedic school; then, connecting me with those my LORD had determined for me to meet in Cleveland EMS. Amen. For my LORD-GOD blessed me greatly, with much encouragement from my mentor, Roger Turner. Amen.
Now, beloved, my LORD has blessed me when my mentor, Roger Turner, stood up, boldly (when the majority of blacks seem to be controlled by satan’s demoncrats’ “little tech.” seeming not to have the desire or ability to think for themselves) and encouraged me greatly, from his heart to my heart. Amen.
I am much thankful to my LORD for blessing me with a spiritual son, that revealed to me that these letters that my LORD-GOD blesses me with and blesses me with sharing, are in fact sewing seeds and are causing growth. Amen. My LORD-GOD said that one will sew, one will water, but it is the LORD my GOD Who causes the growth of His most Holy Word. Amen. Amen!
After losing my best friend, Pastor, and mentor, of seventeen years, several years ago, a friend for which I had such love, that I confessed to him that I would take a bullet for him, at which time, my LORD-GOD sat me down and had a talk with me, as well as my best friend, Pastor; telling me that was out of GOD’S order, that we can only have that level of love for GOD alone. Amen.
Never having a man (outside of my grandfather, uncle Tom, Huse Beach Sr. and Earnie Holloway) inside the church, love me, unconditionally, I had to learn that that love can only be reserved for (in order) my LORD-GOD, my wife, and my children. Amen.
I wondered, ever since my LORD taught me how to correctly love my friend, Pastor, mentor; if I’d ever have a spiritual son to love me (correctly) as I loved my Pastor, I’m not placing this on Roger Turner, I am simply saying, this is why his standing up and encouraging me, publicly, had such an impact on me, because it had never happened before, and it encouraged me and touched my heart, greatly. Amen. For beloved, the most Holy Word of GOD is being planted, watered, and my LORD is causing growth. Amen. That is love in my heart. Amen.
For my LORD-GOD to bless me with ministering His most Holy Word, and to see the growth from the seeds of His most Holy Word, that He blesses me with sewing, is absolutely awesome. Amen.
“1 Corinthians 3:6-7
New King James Version
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

“Esther 5
New King James Version
Esther’s Banquet
5 Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace, across from the king’s house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the [a]house. 2 So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter.
3 And the king said to her, “What do you wish, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you—up to half the kingdom!”
4 So Esther answered, “If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
5 Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, that he may do as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
6 At the banquet of wine the king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!”
7 Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and request is this: 8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and [b]fulfill my request, then let the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.”
Haman’s Plot Against Mordecai
9 So Haman went out that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, and that he did not stand or tremble before him, he was filled with indignation against Mordecai. 10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and called for his friends and his wife Zeresh. 11 Then Haman told them of his great riches, the multitude of his children, everything in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and servants of the king.
12 Moreover Haman said, “Besides, Queen Esther invited no one but me to come in with the king to the banquet that she prepared; and tomorrow I am again invited by her, along with the king. 13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
14 Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows[c] be made, [d]fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet.”
And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.
