On this Memorial Day let us remember the ones that served for our country and the family of the ones that did not make it back. It cost a lot to have freedom, so lets thank toughs that have payed the ultimate price.

Dear Ones,
In Christ Jesus I great you this day. May the grace of the Lord be upon each of you.
We are well in the Lord at this time thanks to His love for us. We are in Sivagangai India meeting with the saints that was baptize in 2002 on our first visit to the south. We thank god that they have held on to Christ. We need your prayers that the Lord wil continue to direct us by His Spirit. We want only to do His will.
To God be the glory in all things.
Apostle Larry T. Gosier.
Revelation 10:9-10
“And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.”
We people hear about this message, many will be joyful but that joy will not last long. When people read and understand the message they will not like what it says. This is because the message speaks God’s unaltered truth. Most of mankind have been living with mans ideas interwoven in God’s teachings. When people learn that their beliefs are not of God, they will have a choice. Change to follow God’s true message or believe what they want and not follow God. A lot of people would rather believe what they want instead of following God’s truth.
Message 63:7-8
“I come that this work might be. That the gospel may be fully established and the plan of God be carried to the ends of the earth. That salvation may come to all who will hear the Christ in his plea that whosoever will may come, for it is his words that shall judge all men at the last day. I am the Messenger of the Lord, my name is John. I am your fellow servant. I speak to all. Take courage, this is the Lord’s work, his Church, and it shall not be destroyed. Let the messages go in peace. Let the tidings of gladness be heard. Be at peace with all men, be pleasant in your work. Be humble always and your labor shall not be in vain.”
John tells us who he is and what his mission is. John, our fellow servant, is sent from God to bring a warning to mankind. John brings the full gospel, with out the influence of man. He speaks the truth strait from God mouth. This message will go to all nations and to all people. Will you hear and obey?
3rd Nephi 25:5
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord”
Jesus himself told of the things that are happening today. Will the people of Earth listen? I pray that they do.
Here are the sermon files from May 23. We had some technical difficulties on the 18, so we were not able to record the sermons that day.
Matthew 11:7-15
“And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ”
Even Jesus talks about the coming of the messenger and how there will be a messenger who “shall prepare the way”. Notice how shall is future, not past. Jesus was talking about when God will send Elias before Jesus’ second coming. God is sending that messenger today. He is John the Baptist, as Jesus himself said.
Greetings in the Name of Christ our Lord. Blessings to all. We are in Chennai South India at this time and it is HOT. We are doing well and the Lord is with us. Want to thank each and everyone for their prayers on our behalf. Without your prayers and support this mission would not be possible. We thank our Lord for His blessings. There is much we must do here for the Lord. Keep us in your prayers. We left New Delhi on the 19th of May. Brothers Vimal Jaitly and K.K. Kapoor are traveling with us. We thank the Lord they had the time to travel with us. We will be back in Delhi on the 17th of June where we will labor for the Lord until we move on to the Philippines.

Message 25:13
“The message I have brought from the Lord is to Catholic and Protestant, to Jew and Gentile, to bond and free, for all have gone away from the commandments of the Lord, and the Lord is no respecter of persons.”
The message the John brings is not just for the church, it is for everyone. All of mankind needs to hear and follow the message. God will give all people the same option to follow him. Let us take the message to the world and plant our seeds.
Message 107:2-3
“The hearts that are humble will hear the call of God to be up and doing in this work of hope and salvation. There is much to be accomplished. The power of the adversary has enthroned his influence in the minds of many, ruining the lives of those that will not learn truth and come to doctrine.”
The Devil will work very hard to pull as many people away from God as he can. It is up to us to not listen to his whisperings, with the help of God. Those that are humble and obey God will be blessed for the work that they will do. The more work we do for God with humility, the more blessed we will become.
Hebrews 11:6
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Faith is the key to unlocking the blessing that comes when we follow Christ. Faith is the basic building block in the gospel of Christ. Without our faith in Christ, there is no salvation or blessings. It is important that we do believe in Christ and that he will save us. That belief is only the beginning.
Alma 5:20-25
“I say unto you, can ye think of being saved when you have yielded yourselves to become subjects to the devil? I say unto you, ye will know at that day that ye cannot be saved; for there can no man be saved except his garments are washed white; yea, his garments must be purified until they are cleansed from all stain, through the blood of him of whom it hath been spoken by our fathers, which should come to redeem his people from their sins. And now I ask of you, my brethren, how will any of you feel, if ye shall stand before the bar of God, having your garments stained with blood and all manner of filthiness? Behold, what will these things testify against you? Behold will they not testify that ye are murderers, yea, and also that ye are guilty of all manner of wickedness? Behold, my brethren, do ye suppose that such an one can have a place to sit down in the kingdom of God, with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob, and also all the holy prophets, whose garments are cleansed and are spotless, pure and white? I say unto you, Nay; except ye make our Creator a liar from the beginning, or suppose that he is a liar from the beginning, or also ye cannot suppose that such an one can have a place in the kingdom of heaven; but they shall be cast out, for they are the children of the kingdom of the devil.”
In order for us to make it to heaven, we have to be clean. To become clean, we must be baptized by one having the proper authority to wash all of our sins away. Before we are baptized though, we have to have faith that in the baptism we become clean. Faith is a key part in the gospel of Christ.
Acts 15:11
“But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. ”
Short, sweet, and to the point. It is Jesus that saves us from the sin of this world and delivers us to the next. Only he can help us, only he can ask for mercy for us, only he can inter seed to God for us. Jesus is our savior. But in order to be our savior, we have to be pure and be ready. There will lots of people that are pure, but not ready. We need to be both. To be ready, all you have to do is follow the true teachings of Christ. It is very simple.
Message 24:7
Therefore, heed ye the warning I have sent, and repent ye, and keep the commandments, for Christ’s coming is near at hand, and destruction will come upon the earth. Follow not after the traditions of men, for they will not save you.
We have to follow the directions of God, not a man maid faith. It is easy to lace God’s plan with the ideas of men, but this will not allow us to get into heaven. Only God’s way is the correct way.
What was witnessed in Heaven? Why an angel earthly bound.
Had he something in his bringing? Yes — The Gospel’s Joyful sound.
It was to be preached in power,
Upon the earth the angel said,
To all men, all tongues and nations,
That upon its face are spread.
.
Had we not before the Gospel?
Yes –had several taught by men.
Then what is this latter Gospel?
Tis the first one come again.
This was preached by Paul and Peter,
And Jesus Christ, the head.
This we latter saints are preaching,
We their footsteps wish to tread.
.
Where so long had been the Gospel
Did it ever fall away?
What became of those neglected?
God is just, is all we say.
Seek no crop where none is planted,
Nor a day where reigns the night.
Now the sunshine bright is beaming,
Let all churches see aright.
.
For ’tis the very John the Baptist,
Down to earth has made his flight.
He has come as the very Elias,
To set all Christendom, aright,
The Gospel with angelic admonition–
‘Tis deliverence, and the way.
The gate is baptism through the water,
To bring us to that Eternal day.
Message 61:4
“Fear not what man may say of you. Those that have gone astray are led by the evil one. Fear not, nor fret not, for some will repent. Thy will see their error and yet the faithful shall be blessed. Come all the way for the Lord wants a holy people whose hearts are just and righteous before him.”
We should not worry about what other people think about us. I know this is a hard thing grasp and to follow, but it is important. We can not work for God halfheartedly, it must be all the way. You can not let others scare you into not following God. They will get their reward in the end.
3rd Nephi 24:1-3
“And it came to pass that he commanded them that they should write the words which the Father had given unto Malachi, which he should tell unto them. And it came to pass that after they were written he expounded them. And these are the words which he did tell unto them, saying: Thus said the Father unto Malachi—Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in; behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fuller’s soap. And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.”
Jesus himself told the Nephits about the coming of the messenger. If the messenger had already come, would Jesus be telling the people about him. It says the messenger will come and then “the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to his temple” This did not happen when Christ came the first time. This means that there must be a messenger from God before the second coming. That messenger is coming today, he is John the Baptist.
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Just because someone says that they are following God does not mean that they are telling the truth. There will be lots of people who are doing great works that will not get into the Kingdom of Heaven. We need to study the words of God to make sure that what people are doing and telling us agree wholly with God’s words. God’s words can be found in the Bible, The Record of the Nephites, and The Word of the Lord.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. ”
In order for God to send Christ back there must be a “falling away” of the people from God. This has happened already. The people have fallen away, and now we are back with Christ’s organization and Gospel. With the Church being restored as it was in the days of Christ, God’s plan of the second coming can now come to pass. Part of that plan is the sending the Elijah Message to prepare the people.
