ZIONWORKS NEWS for FEBRUARY 9, 2023

ARE WE OUT ON A LIMB?

Dear saints and all people God calls His People,

In your daily decisions and life decisions, who are you responsible to? Many. Yet, who will you answer to for your decisions and who is the ultimate consultant for making your decisions? The ultimate answer, of course, is God. God’s direct contact for us is Jesus Christ. Christ’s church from the beginning, before there were people on the earth, was perfect and complete. It is the church of the gospel God taught Adam and the Old Testament prophets. When Christ walked the earth, the gospel he represented and taught was perfect, eternal, complete, unaltered, uncompromised, and therefore alien to the religions and cultures of that time. Even though His church was then established on earth with all of its gifts and love; corruptive influences soon began to corrode the pure gospel and its practices until within a few centuries “the church” no longer contained enough of its original beliefs, practices and authority to restore itself. The pure, original gospel could then only be restored by Christ himself. Thank God He did. It seems that there must be a message in this: If Christ authored the Original Gospel and then personally restored it, who could possibly have the authority or audacity to criticize it or change it in the slightest? As members of the Restoration we feel responsible for protecting and preserving the pristine gospel by dedication to it and acting upon it in love and responsibility.

Anyone proposing or teaching ideas or philosophies not originating in and approved by Christ himself is “out on a limb”, unattached to and unsupported by a strong living trunk with strong, living roots. They are cut off from the source of life, light and truth. Keep in mind that Christ is co-creator of the universe which contains all knowledge, all truth, all love and all discovered and undiscovered wonders. Are those that long for Zion and see its present urgency “out on a limb”?

No. They are strongly attached to and fed by the strong and living Trunk. The scriptures give more than adequate information and instruction for Zion today. God’s word will not return to him void.

UPCOMING EVENTS

ANOTHER KATHY WILLIAMS FABULOUS HANDS-ON CLASS. FEB. 25

Kathy says:

Next class at Saints Haven Restoration Branch in Sibley will be Feb 25th, Saturday, at 2pm. Will talk a little more extensively about grains, will grind our wheat, yes some grinders will be there, will bake basic wheat bread from scratch, maybe rye or play with sourdough bread, and make flat bread of some sort. Virginia Fry will show us how to make tortillas. She has a press, and I will also by then. Have 2 Kitchen aid mixers and 4 ovens so we can have several things going at once. May have a fire ring going and if it is nice, will bake bread on a stick. It will run as long as it takes and as much as anyone is willing to stay...About 20 hands raised for that class, I can repeat the class if needed.

I think that 20 people limit would be good for this group due to space and machines availability and the kitchen is small. I will run a second group in short order if necessary...only if necessary. There is so much to teach. I should have a list and have people check what their interests are. I didn’t get all the names of those who came. ‘Should have sent a sheet around for contact list....

NEXT ZIONWORKS MEETING SUNDAY FEBRUARY 19, 2:00 PM at The Restoration Church, 919 S. Delaware, Independence, in the basement fellowship hall.

All interested people are invited. The agenda will include SPRING PLANTING, growing small and large livestock, off-grid tips and techniques, revving up our survival teams on food, water, sanitation, etc., trading of produce and labor, BARTERING and planning service projects.

INTERESTING RESOURCES

Look at abundaculture.com , a serious group of people building off-grid Christian communities. Lots of practical and proven how-to’s.

Recent broadcasts on Brighteon and Rumble

Doug and Stacey on you tube. They have an interesting off-grid farm in Missouri. Christian, very practical.

Come to Zionworks meetings to meet resourceful people and exchange knowledge and ideas.

SPECIALISTS AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Computer and website person needed.

Though Zionworks is small at this time, we need teams operating and equipped as much as possible to organize, lead and teach as larger numbers of people come to understand the urgency of Zion. People, even now are beginning to flee from danger and destruction, if they can. Those desirous to abide by Christ’s principles of love need The Kingdom and The Kingdom needs them.

QUOTES AND SCRIPTURES

“And all of thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established; thou shall be far from oppression, for thou shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee. Behold, they shall surely gather against thee. Not by me; whosoever shall gather against thee shall fall for thy sake…no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall revile against thee in judgement though shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the lord.” 3N 10:21-25

“And now behold, after ye have tasted this light, is your knowledge perfect? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; neither must you lay aside your faith, for ye have only exercised your faith to plant the seed, that ye might try the experiment, to know if the seed was good.” Alma 16: 163

“If you don’t try it, it won’t work.” Clancy Schmidt
