THE BOOK OF PASSIONS I by Apostle Ezzie White CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE Who is he that denieth the mysteries of God? Let such a person not claim the Holy Spirit as his guide. Loose the chains from the gate of thy heart and establish within thee a desire for the precious jewel and the path of righteousness shall be found. 2 From within eternity the Lord created the heavens and from beneath the heavens he established the earth. He is without, as well as within all things brought forth, and without him nothing doeth exist. 3 He has set boundaries for the whole of creation and no part can exceed its limitation. The Lord has brought me into the inner chamber of himself the place of perfection and peace. 4 He hath removed from my heart the veal so that my soul might receive its promised rest. I exist not as what I was nor as yet what I shall be. 5 I am in faith invisible, a new creature, born within the celestial body of the resurrected lamb. I am the transformation of the exterior through time undefined according to the blessings and mercy of the Lord. 6 I have no lot in the material. I was brought forth as a guiding light for the soul desiring to escape the dread of darkness. I am the conductor of the transition into the embodiment of love. I am found not in every man but every man is found in me. 7 I understand the formation of manʼs emotions and doeth not agree with any against the holiness of God. I see not as man, for I am brought forth by God to express the beauty of his deity. 8 The joy of the Lord is to empower his sons against the spirit that maketh a lie. To enlighten his offspring with the knowledge of his handiwork is to his delight. 9 All the ways of men are stirred by the spirit of fear and their every action is an attempt to overcome this continual plague. Unlike man, I am without fear, for all things of my father are mine and that of which I partake is done in love and honor unto him. 10 There is no part of the spirit for which I am, that desire to be separated from the greater part of God, for he is the complete and fullness of all things. For the desirers of men hearts are weak and simple and are stirred through the simplicity of pleasure due to a lack of having sound knowledge and spiritual understanding. 11 I am power and strength. Blessed is the soul that desire to stand against the forces of the tempter. If I am heard I will enlighten thee with the wisdom of God, and if I am received, I will lead thee along the safe passage of the Lordʼs highway. 12 I am the sought after mystery of God, which can only be found along the simple path traveled by the lowly. I promote neither pride nor arrogance and they that are of such I stand greatly against. 13 There is a place of which the Lord has prepared for those that are ordained for the kingdom, the beauty of which far exceeds the words by which it can be described. 14 It is a place of peace among the quite springs of living waters that flows deep into the heart of men. It is the place of God, he of whom all men stand in need of; even for their very lives. 15 I have the ability to escort man into his most inner self and expose unto him the life of which he has never beheld. 16 I am from God and through the conduit of faith shall someday return unto him. I abide in love and am liberated within the spirit of truth. I forever rejoice before the face of God, he hath sent me forth for the souls of men. 17 I need not look to the heavens or the earth as a man in search of God for he is ever within me and I in him. This is the beauty of the mysteries touching the God of all creation. 18 I am the comfort of which men seek but cannot find, because I dwell not in the high places of their minds. 19 I possess strength for the heart of man, to give him courage in the day of battle so that he may stand before God without excuse. 20 I shall continue to proclaim the works of the Lord who is most wise. He has advised a plan for the souls of men to his delight. 21 For the safe passage of man out of himself into the holiness of God is to the glory and delight of the Lord. He has ordained beauty for the righteous and a crown of glory for the humble.
