The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is led by living Prophet. His name is matthew Gill. This Prophet is not aloof from others he lives a normal life with his family, if you check out our sister site Gods place you will see. The crowing glory of the church in these latter days is that the Prophet can be contacted and can be spoken to and that he is speaking with God and revealing truths that have been lost to us over time. The Lord God is very much at the head of our church and it is only though him that we have the things that we have in our lives today. The church has not only been blessed with a modern living Prophet who speaks to God today but we have additional scripture given to us by the power of God. The Book of Jeraneck takes place at around 2500 BC and it speaks to us today and tells of a people that lived here upon the British Isles and believed in the Lord God. The Book of Jeraneck tells of there struggles and there teachings and clarifies things that were confused or even lost to us. The Book of Jeraneck we compiled by the last Prophet of the people of Light, Jeraneck. Jeraneck was the last Prophet of the people and we believe he died between 150-130 BC. It is a book of belief that was hidden until our time to come forth to reveal to us that the Lord had established upon this land a people that believed in him and loved him.

Please take the time to read this wonderful book brought to us today through a living Prophet of God and that has been given to us by God to help us understand the past and future of our land and our people. The book of Jeraneck has touched many people’s lives and has helped them come closer to the Lord through reading it. Of course it has its critics and it has its persecutors but then again so does the Bible and the Book of Mormon. All the critics in the world do not detract from its truth and its message. We believe that if you read it with an open heart and mind and do not read it with malice already in your heart then the spirit will do what Jeraneck says and testify of the truth of his words. We hope you will take the time to read it and that the Lord will bless you with a witness that it is from him.

Please fell free to contact the church. We are here to talk and to testify of Christ.

News:- Apostle Elder Michael S. Clarke is doing well again. he has moved back to Clay Cross and we are about to set up a branch there, were Elder Clarke will become the presiding Elder.

The Church has started work on an official church Edition of the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants and this shouldbe completed bythe start of teh Summer.

The work on the Bible is still on going with the Prophet wroking very hard with an assistant to do what the Lord has instucted with the Insoired version oft eh Bible. Look out for the completed edition by the end of the year.

This year is a very special time for the church because we have the opportunity to study the Book of Mormon in Sunday school. In doing this we not only get a greater understanding of the Book of Mormon and all the wonder and truth it holds but we also gain a greater understanding the prophet Joseph Smith and also who we are and why we are here. In the modern restoration today and in this church we hold the Prophet Joseph Smith in high regard not because he was an extraordinary man although he was but because he is a Prophet of God and he brought forth one of the greatest books in history The Book of Mormon. We are now standing and building on the foundation laid by Brother Joseph Smith we are rebuilding what was once torn down and in doing so we hold before the world not only the Book of Mormon but also new revealed scripture in the Book of Jeraneck, we need not be afraid and shamed to do this for we know that Joseph was and is a Prophet of God and that he did translate from ancient lost plates of Gold, that we have had the same privilege and that we are like unto him. My brothers and sisters let us go forth with renewed vigour to take these two wonderful records to the world and bring light and knowledge to a dark and dreary lost people who are crying out to be saved from themselves and the eternal darkness that awaits them if they do not heed our words. I bless you with the Lords guidance in the coming week ahead until we meet again in fellowship and love.

Joseph Smith and the Gold Plates

Joseph Smith, the first Prophet and founder of the Church tells us that the Book of Mormon was translated from golden plates shown to him by a heavenly messenger on September 21, 1823.
"While I was thus in the act of calling upon God I discovered a light appearing in the room which continued to increase until the room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage appeared at my bedside standing in the air for his feet did not touch the floor...When I first looked upon him I was afraid, but the fear soon left me. He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of God to me, and that his name was Moroni. That God had a work for me to do, and that my name should be had for good and evil, among all nations, kindred’s, and tongues; or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people. He said there was a book deposited written upon gold plates, giving an account of the former inhabitants of this continent, and the source from whence they sprang. He also said that the fullness of the everlasting gospel was contained in it, as delivered by the Savior to the ancient inhabitants. Also that there were two stones in silver bows, and these stones fastened to a breastplate constituted what is among them called the Urim and Thummim, deposited with the plates, and the possession and use of these stones was what constituted seers in ancient or former times, and that God had prepared them for the purpose of translating the book." (Times and Seasons, vol. 3, p. 753)

The time soon came for The Prophet Joseph to see the plates and to experience the beauty of being given a record that has been lost to the world, this is what he says concerning that moment.
"Convenient to the village of Manchester, Ontario Co. New York, stands a hill of considerable size, and the most elevated on any in the neighbor hood; on the west side of this hill not far from the top, under a stone of considerable size, lay the plates deposited in a stone box: this stone was thick and rounding in the middle on the upper side, and thinner towards the edges, so that the middle part of it was visible above the ground, but the edge all round was covered with earth. Having removed the earth and obtained a lever which I got fixed under the edge of the stone and with a little exertion raised it up, I looked in and there indeed I beheld the plates, the Urim and Thummim and the Breastplate as stated by the messenger. The box in which they lay was formed by laying stones together in some kind of cement; in the bottom of the box were laid two stones crossways of the box, and on these stones lay the plates and the other things with them. I made an attempt to take them out but was forbidden by the messenger and was again informed that the time for bringing them forth had not yet arrived, neither would until four years from that time." (Times and Seasons, vol. 3, p. 771)

After many times of being able to go to the hill and see the plates the time came for the Prophet to be given the plates and to take them. Here the Prophet Joseph describes receiving the plates and the gravity if the situation.
At length the time arrived for obtaining the plates, and Urim and Thummim, and the breastplate; on the 22nd day of September, 1827, having went as usual at the end of another year to the place where they were deposited, the same heavenly messenger delivered them up to me, with this charge that I should be responsible for them: that if I should let them go carelessly or through any neglect of mine I should be cut off; but that if I would use all my endeavors to preserve them, until he the messenger should call for them, they should be protected...by the wisdom of God they remained safe in my hands until I had accomplished by them what was required at my hands when according to arrangements the messenger called for them, I delivered them up to him and he has them in his charge until this day." (Times and Seasons, vol. 3, p. 772)

Here Josephs mother Lucy describes the effort that Joseph had to make to get the plates back home safely.
After removing the plates from the stone box, Joseph hid them in a birch log until preparations could be made at home for the plates. Then he went to retrieve them. "The plates were secreted about three miles from home...Joseph, on coming to them, took them from their secret place, and wrapping them in his linen frock, placed them under his arm and started for home." After proceeding a short distance, he thought it would be safer to leave the road and go through the woods. Traveling some distance after he left the road, he came to a large windfall, and as he was jumping over a log, a man sprang up from behind it, and gave him a heavy blow with a gun. Joseph turned around and knocked him down, then ran at the top of his speed. About half a mile further he was attacked again in the same manner as before; he knocked this man down in like manner as the former, and ran on again; and before he reached home he was assaulted the third time. In striking the last one he dislocated his thumb, which, however, he did not notice until he came within sight of the house, when he threw himself down in the corner of the fence in order to recover his breath. As soon as he was able, he arose and came to the house." (History of Joseph Smith by His Mother, pp. 107- 108)

I would ask at this time that our prayers be turned to Elder Michael Clarke who is having some personal problems at the moment. He needs us to pray for him, ask the Lord to help him find a new place to live. Please pray and fast for him I know that he needs all the help he can get at the moment.

Today's post as been submitted by the prophet himself:-
It’s difficult sometimes for us as members of the church to communicate to others what it is God has revealed to us, in consequence of traditions. We are differently situated from any other people that have ever existed upon the face of the earth, so those former revelations can not be suited to our conditions today, those revelations were give to other people, who were before us; but in these the last and end of days. It is said that God is to call a remnant and deliver them unto Zion. Now if God should give no more revelations, where will we find Zion and this remnant? I tell you now in this blog that the time is drawing ever closer when desolation is to be poured out upon all the world like has never before been seen, It will be so great that men’s hearts shall fail them and they shall seek a place to hid themselves but find no rest unless they put themselves in the hands of God and his people; it is then that God will have a place set aside for the remnant of his people to deliver his remnant.

All around us today we see that the perilous times have come that the Lord promised we would see, we may look then with the most perfect assurance, for the fulfilment of all those things that have been written, and with more confidence than ever before. As saints of the most high God we can see that everything is being fulfilled; and that the time shall soon come when the Son of man shall come and stand in all righteousness upon the Mount of Olives and ushers in His kingdom. Our hearts do not shrink, neither our spirits break with the yoke of these terrible times, neither do they think of breaking with the things that are sure to come to fulfil the revelations of the Lord.

My dear brothers and sisters I think that it must be deeply impressed upon our minds that we should take hold of every opportunity, and should make every preparation that is within our power to make to be ready for the terrible storms that are now growing and gathering upon the earth. We must be aware that the Angels in the court of the Father have gathered and have been entrusted with these matters for the end of days; they have taken counsel together and have been instructed of the Father that the time is now upon the inhabitants of the earth to prove themselves.

My friends it is the time to seek out the Lord and take hold of His ever trusting arm. We know what we have been commanded to do and soon the time of the gentiles will be brought in and the time will come when we shall be called out from amongst Babylon. I pray that we may be ready when called. But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For these people are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Preach the Word of God unto all men, I ask you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:,Preach the word unto all people! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. In doing this i say to you all that the Lord will preserve his people and feed them.

I ask in the name of Jesus Christ the almighty God that we may be like unto the people of Zion yes even the same people that were taken unto heaven form the earth because they were to righteous. I ask and pray these things in Jesus name. Amen

It has been a wonderful week for the church with our very first subscription out side of the church for The Times & Seasons. The Times 7 seasons can be ordered form the church for £3.00 a month or you can play for a full year up front. If you are interested in subscribing to The Times 7 seasons then please do not hesitate to contact us and we will sort it out for you.

The church is experiencing a lot of interest form the United States at the moment with many people coming forward and expressing a wish to be united with the church. The church is looking forward to getting out to the United States and baptising those involved and establishing a branch of the church among the people of the United States. The Unites states as the prophet said on Sunday is ‘being prepared once again to hear the truth of all things’ I believe that he is right and that those who have come to us in search of the truth have been led here by the Lord. There are great things due to come forth form the United States and I know that they will come forth form the Lord unto his people.

In this weeks blog I would like to talk to those people who might be reading this blog who have fallen out of favour with any of the Mormon denominations whether it be the LDS or the Cof C or any other Mormon faith. Indeed we would like to address this blog to any one that has stopped going to any church. Elder Michael Clarke has posted a blog on this very subject on his church blog site, that I you might find interesting. I want you all to know that just because you might have had a bad experience with another Mormon faith does not mean that we are all like that, we want you to know that we here ate the latter Day Church of Jesus Christ have something wonderful that we can share with all the world, we want to help you to rediscover your love for the saviour and for the restoration that took place through the prophet Joseph Smith. We want to be able to help rekindled the love that you once felt for the Book of Mormon and for the prophets of that great book of scripture. We want to be able to share our love of the Bible with you and help you come to know Jesus Christ and for you to let him in to your heart once again. Most of all we would love to share the Book of Jeraneck with you, which stands at another testimony of Jesus Christ. The Latter day Church of Jesus Christ has a lot to offer you so get in touch and let’s see if we can’t add to what you already know and help relight that fire.

The Second coming is not far of and we need to be diligent in obeying the laws that the Lord has put down for us. We need to be putting on the whole armour of god and doing what it takes for us to be worthy to stand to meet him at the great days of his return.

To all our members and friends we wish you have a great week and that you keep on with your studies in the gospel. The Lord is with us speaking to us and revealing new truths to us that we should tell to the entire world. To those new investigators that have contacted us we wish you well and we want you to know that the Prophet is ever praying for you that you might be joined with us soon. God Bless you all.

What a great end to the week the church has had. We have seen great work coming out of the Leicester area with Elder Michael S. Clarke out doing missionary work and getting things moving up in his area. Elders Kyle & Andrew Alverson are doing well and have been in touch this week. The work is going forward really well at the moment and we expect it to keep going. Sunday was a great meeting with a new revelation being delivered to the church concerning the tribulation and the coming of the Messiah. The new revelations that the Lords flock have had are really helping us to understand the time sin which we are living along with renewing our love and relationship with the Saviour.

The Book of Mormon takes centre stage this year with the church studying this wonderful book of scripture in Sunday school. Over the weekend the churches monthly news letter The Times & Seasons was sent out to all those that have requested it and given to all its members. The Times & Seasons is a wonderful opportunity for the church to share uplifting stories and also for people to know what is going on in the church and to read a monthly message form the prophet on a wide range of issues. We would like to thank all those that have helped with input for The Times & Seasons and also to Vicki Gill for arranging The Times and Seasons so beautifully. Keep a look out for next months when Elder Clarke will be submitting an article to be included. If any one out there wants to subscribe to the Times & Seasons then pleases get in touch and we will arrange for a monthly delivery of the newsletter.

All in all our little flock is doing well and are looking forward to the day when we shall be able to reach more people and to share our message with a larger audience, it is refreshing to know that every morning the church receives new emails of encouragement and of support from all over the world and even here in the UK. So from everyone here at The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ we hope you have a good week and that you are able to be touched by the spirit and feel the presence of the Lord in your lives. God Bless to all our fiends and supports all over the world.

Truly this is a day long to be remembered by the Saints of the last days, a day in which the God of heaven has begun to restore the ancient order of His kingdom unto His servants and His people, a day in which all things are concurring to bring about the completion of the fullness of the Gospel, a fullness of the dispensation of dispensations, even the fullness of times; a day in which Jehovah has promised should be made known in His own due time unto His servants, to prepare the earth for the return of His glory. (Jospeh Smith)

Today’s Blog is posted by the Prophet Matthew Gill: - Who am I? Many people believe they know who I am. It has been said by many that they know me and that I can’t possibly be a Prophet because they know what I’m really like! Know man knows me! And to coin a popular phrase ‘Know man knows my history’. I’m grateful for all the opposition that I receive and that the church receives, for some reason they believe that we are important enough to write lengthy posts about and important enough to ruffle their feathers. It has come to my knowledge that again things have been said about me personally and about my family that are just NOT TRUE, let me say it again NOT TRUE. I will once again out line a few things for those people so that I have put it on record in this blog post for all those that wish to see.

I have never been kicked out of the LDS church. It simply didn’t happen that way. I was not excommunicated and I was never invited to a church court. I know that it is hard for some people to understand what with them knowing me so well, but I’m afraid that it is simply not the case. I’m sorry if that upsets some people, I’m sorry if that is not the version of my history that you seem to think is correct, but its just hard luck because it’s the truth. The fact is that I resigned my membership of the LDS church to Jason Store who was the first councillor on the Derby ward bishopric at the time. I invited him round to my house and we sat and I explained to him why I was doing it and he took my resignation in writing from me and after a warm and conflict free chat he left. About a month latter I received a letter confirming that my name had been removed from the records of the LDS church. That's how it happened. There was no church court or argument or conflict of any nature, I was not kicked out because of apostasy, I simply resigned my membership, simple really. In the same fashion my father also resigned his membership, In fact that’s how some other people who have joined the church left the LDS, once again no courts no recrimination no arguments nothing, I don’t know from what source the opposite view has come form but it’s NOT TRUE and it’s a LIE.

So that has dealt with me for the moment, let’s turn our attention to the issue that keeps being asked about Elder David Smith. Let me say once and for all on the record that Elder David Smith has never donated any amount of money to the church other than his tithing that he gives every month. He has never sold a property and given the money to the church, he has never been left any money by a relative and left that to the church, nothing of that nature has happened at all, its yet another fantastical idea of certain members of the LDS church, it’s a LIE. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is not at liberty to say who pays tithing and who does not, it’s a matter of data protection, plus it would be a betrayal of trust, and it’s none of your business any way.

The congregation of The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ seems to be a real concern to some people. The size of our membership seems to be really important to a lot of LDS members, why I don’t know? But some of them seem to be really hung up on how many members we have. The Latter Day church of Jesus Christ has ten members in the UK at the moment. I have never made any claim that we are bigger in the UK, I have never given the impression that we are heaving with membership in the UK. I hope that answers that problem for some of you. Although I don’t know what membership size has to do with being true or false as seems to be the assertion.

Now it seems that someone who has read the church blog site has gotten it in to their heads that I think that they are or were jealous of the Gill family in the past. I don’t know if they were or weren’t, and to be honest I don’t really care. I’m sure that there are lots of very rich people in the LDS church, I’m sure that they are extremely happy with their wealth; it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. What does bother me however is when people make comments about my family or people that are close to me that are untrue or slanderous. Once again I will make it very clear on record that my father has never been to gaol, has never been arrested for fraud and has never stolen money from people, and just in case I’m accused of hiding neither have I.

It is true that I grew up in the LDS family. I have been in many units in my time in the LDS church. I was first in Birmingham then in the old Hansdwroth unit where I was baptised in to the LDS church at age eight. My family then moved to the Tamworth unit and stayed there for many years where my father served for many years on the bishopric, in fact we moved to Tamworth when I was eight and I didn’t leave until I was eighteen. My family then moved to the Derby ward for the first time, then back to Birmingham and to the Wild Green unit. From there I married and moved to Sheldon unit in the Birmingham stake. My wife and I then moved to Derby and obviously went to the Derby ward, my mother and father followed due to the family business having to relocate due to the distance between the two families. I left the church when I was a member in Derby ward.

The final thing I want to clear up and put on record is that the church has no mentality ill people as members, none of them have learning difficulties, NONE OF THEM. I am not sure why people who claim to know some of the members in the church would say this, maybe, just maybe they have the wrong person, or they are just wrong. I know that it might be a hard thing for an LDS member to get their head around but, they could be wrong!

I hope that I have been able to put some reoccurring persecution to bed once and for all. In my heart I hope that this can be closed, but I doubt it. It’s a sad shame that these people keep asking the same questions over and over, it is a sad shame that they believe that there is something evil and sinister going on here; nothing could be further form the truth. To all our members I wish to thank you for your continued faith and prayers to our members outside of the UK, I am so proud of your commitment and your friendship, it is a great example to me of how much our message has touched you. I thank the Lord everyday that he has called me to this work and tat I am his servant in these troubling and dark times, keep the faith my friends, the journey will soon be at an end and we shall behold the Saviour in all his glory and majesty. I leave you with a wonderful quote that sums up what we have to go through, it was written by the Prophet Joseph Smith and I think relates very well to our situation: - The Saviour said . . . "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake; rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you." Now, dear brethren, if any men ever had reason to claim this promise, we are the men; for we know that the world not only hate us, but they speak all manner of evil of us falsely, for no other reason than that we have been endeavouring to teach the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

God Bless you all I look forward to seeing you all very soon.

Happy New Year to all our friends and members out there. We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you were all able to spend the festive season with family and loved ones.

It is a new year and a new start. 2009 promises to be a great year for the church although even if it wasn't going to be a great year our work would go on as we have a duty and promise to the Lord to perform the work that we have all been called to do. We have a new blog site from Elder Clarke in Leicester which is http://www.saintsinthelatterdays.blogspot.com/ I would encourage all of you to check it out and give Elder Clarke all the support you can while he is in Leicestershire.

At the end of last year we had a wonderful winter GA which was watched by lots of people all over the world from Argentina to Australia, we are so pleased that we have been able to touch people’s lives and bring them some happiness and friendship. The churches official copy of the Book of Mormon was published at the end of 2008 and it has gone down very well with those that have ordered copies form us; we are so pleased that we have been directed by the Lord to get this edition of the Book of Mormon published. The Book of Jeraneck was read by record amounts of people last year fulfilling a promise made by the Lord that it would be 'read by people in many lands and that it would be sent unto all the world to stand a witness of the people that once inhabited this land'. The work on the churches official Bible goes on with the Prophet working hard to go through the new sections that need to be added and communing with the Lord over the issue, when the work is complete we shall notify everyone on the blog site. We would like to thank all those people that sent us support last year in whatever way they could, it was wonderful to come into contact with people who wanted to hep and also those that wanted to join with us.

We are small and although three baptisms last year may not seem like an awful lot to many out there, but for us it was a wonderful moment, we had had the chance to save souls and we performed our duty to them and to the Lord. There are many great and glorious things set to happen this year including the bringing forward of revelation and prophesy and another great things. Although we find our world falling deeper and deeper in to dark times we know that we will stand as light unto the entire world. The Lord is with us we have proved this in days past we have weathered the storms that have been thrown our way we have stood firm and not faltered and when times come that test our resolve and our very faith we know that the Lord will be with us no matter what happens. We hope and pray that we can fulfil our duty as well as we did last year and that we can do what the Lord asks of us this year without hesitation. God bless you all in the coming year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
It’s that time of year again. Christmas is just around the corner. At this time of year we have our last General Assembly of the year and also our last organised meeting until we meet again in the New Year. It has become the tradition of The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ to hold its Winter General Assembly in December so that we can dedicate some of the time of the Winter General Assembly to Christmas and hopefully convey our thoughts and feeling on this special time of year. The Winter General Assembly took place on Sunday the 14th of December at Ten o’clock in the morning and this gave us the opportunity to gather together and to worship with all the members of the church. From everyone here at The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year, God Bless.

Winter General Assembly Part One



Winter General Assembly Part Two



Winter General Assembly Part Three



Winter General Assembly Part Four

Hello everyone! well as some of you are aware a lot has happened over the last couple of weeks. But when the storms break over you it is then that your friends and allies excel themselves and it is then that they come to the forefront and stand next to you shoulder to shoulder. I would like to personally thank all those that have sent well wishes to us and I would like to now thank our presiding Elders of the church who have come out and defended not only me but the church and the things that we believe in. It was during this time that Elder Michael S Clarke posted a video on the net and set out his stall for the whole world to see and to hear. Please find this video below. Before I end this blog post I would like to remind everyone that the 3rd Annual Winter General Assembly is due to take place on Sunday the 14th of December. We will also be doing one final blog post just before Christmas with the Prophets Christmas message on it. Please stay tuned. God Bless you all.

Elder Michael S Clarke

As some of you are aware last weeks blog post was supposed to be our last of the year, apart form the GA video that is to be posted latter in December. However it has come to my attention again that there continue to be lies posted on the Nauvoo forum about the church and my family. It saddens me that I have to write this blog post, but I want the opportunity to tell the truth regarding some of the lies that have been posted. I think however before I write this post that I make it clear that I have no problem with the LDS church at all. I do not condemn them or the work that they do. I believe they are wrong but I would never go as far as to lie about their teachings or about individuals who lead the LDS church. This seems though unfortunately to be the pattern that many LDS members have taken regarding The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ and its leaders and members. The reason for this post apart from telling the truth is that many of these lies are slanderous and have no foundation whatsoever and if these lies ever got out in to the public domain could damage very seriously our professional working relationship.

So some of these lies lets examine them. To do this I shall list just a few of the lies that have been told and answer each of them in turn.

(Bugbyte)“They prey on venerable people. Their 1st ‘convert’ (Smith?) was a returned missionary with quite severe learning difficulties”

We have never preyed on vuneravle people. In fact I don’t even know who these vulnerable people are. They state that at least one of them is Elder David Smith. I have known Elder David smith for a very long time. I knew him when he and I served in Ireland on a Mission. He does not have any learning difficulties what so ever. In fact he was one of those that helped found the church. It’s so funny because any one that knows our David Smith knows that this is just so untrue.

(Bugbyte) “They got him (David Smith) to sell his house he had inherited to fund their church”
Another lie. David Smith has never sold a house as far as we are aware. The church has never taken any money from him in this regard. The question that needs to be asked here is where did they get this lie from? Who told them of this? As it’s not true then I guess that they are listening to gossip yet again. I state once again for the record that Elder Smith has never received a house as an inheritance from any one!!!!1 and he has never sold a house and given the money to the church.

(Bugbyte) “The two new converts in the baptism videos are also venerable ex members. I am concerned at the level of investment they have made to Phil Gill”
I am not sure who they are referring to here. But I state yet again that none of our members here in the UK are venerable in any way. None of them have severe learning difficulties and none of them have given any money to the church, apart from normal tithing donations. Phil Gill is not the leader of this church and has no reason to rip people off and steal from them; he has a very successful business of his own that makes more than enough money. These people listen to our message and we let them decided what hey wish to do about joining, no one has been forced and tricked in to joining. Once again a rumour and a lie. May be they should talk to us rather than listen to gossip.

(Iregretthis) “It bothers me that they are appealing for money to set up Zion Camp. I am so upset to hear about the preying on and exploitation of these vulnerable people”

We do not see a problem in asking people for donations if you don’t want to give then don’t give, it’s that simple, and we don’t force anyone to give us money. I do believe that the LDS church asks its members for donations, they call them fast offerings that are voluntary donations, so what's the difference? Again it would seem to be that this person is more wiling too except an unfounded lie rather than find out the truth for them selves.

(Bugbyte) wouldn’t worry, his church will fail. Phil Gill just does not have the charisma to pull it off, hence the complete lack of baptisms. If you ever met him you would know what I mean. As a good Mormon I do worry about their salvation, but I worry a whole lot more about his converts. Although baptised into our church the three converts have some degree of learning difficulty and will have been exploited. I am 100% sure the Lord will not hold them accountable. The first convert gave the equity from his house sale to them.
I don’t know what Elder Phil Gill having charisma has to do with the church going forward. The LDS church have lots of baptisms because they have lots of people already on the ground to do lots more work with lots more money at their disposal. Please don’t be worried about our members none of them have learning or mental disabilities….it just makes me laugh when in on line this person says that they were former members of the LDS church and makes it sound like its fine for them to have members with difficulties but for any one else to have them, then they must be tricking them or stealing from them. We have no converts with learning difficulties at all in any case so the argument is just stupid. If we did I still don’t see what the problem would be any way. Aren’t they entitled to know God? You might want to find out how many disabled people and people of low intellect there re in the LDS church. You will find it’s much higher than our church, as WE HAVE NONE.

(Freezer) I'm so glad I've found this site and others are aware of the "Gills”. have been very concerned that I was the only person who was aware of Phil’s and Matthews’s background, although there are many facts you are unaware of. Matthew came into contact with David while serving a mission in Ireland. I’ve read Matthews comments of this forum on his blog site and it’s interesting to note that he hasn’t commented regarding the sale of David’s house and if the money was given to the Gills. Whatever reason or motive drove them to this point, only they know. But I do pray for them that they will give up this charade and repent.

Please, please for the sake of sanity can someone tell me what they know about my background and my fathers? Note the word ‘know’ very few people ‘know’ anything what they think they know is untrue. Many of the people like the person above have relied on gossip and lies to fuel their bigotry. Note how they use the David Smith issue again. David has never sold a house and given the money to me my father or the church. I also like how this person thinks that we need to give up the charade. Maybe they need to examine their own LDS dogma and give up what they think is right. Crazy!!

(amazonman) The gills are going all out to deceive so I feel like I need to put in my 2 pennies worth. I grew up with the guy in Tamworth England. We didn't get on. I almost hit him........twice - you get the picture! I smile at his testimony of him growing up and recieving his visitation at 12 and how the family were great church members. I'm sorry but it is completely untrue.The comments on paralells of JS and people not believing him etc etc came to my mind too. Fortunately I know the man behind the claims and can safely say I have good reason not to believe him. I have a lot to say about him, not all good. I knew his counselor briefly too, I think he's seriously been taken advantage of. In summary, try to find someone who has anything positive to say about him or his family. Compulsive lying, pride, not going to church because a position of authority wasn't bestowed.

What a lovely man this is. As I don’t know his name I can’t personally comment on this person. However he betrays the sort of person he is by his unchristian act of almost hitting me twice, nice guy then? I don’t think I have ever used the words great church members, in fact we very rarely mention our past association with the LDS church. He claims to know the man behind the claims, he obviously has a biased opinion of me from his childhood, (maybe he felt inadequate around me I don’t know) and I doubt weather he would have been a friend in any case, so it’s very unlikely that he would ‘know’ me at all. Once again Elder Smith is being described as some kind of poor unintelligent person who can be taken advantage of, not true, and I don’t know how he knows of him any way as I dint even know Elder Smith growing up. This guy has a real dislike of me and my family that is obvious from his post, but I want to state now that none of my family ever went in active from the LDS church while we were members of the church ever!! In any case most of my family had postions of authority for majority of thei time in the LDS church. So that’s a lie.

Once again I would like to say that it saddens me to have to post this blog and defend my self in this way. However after thinking about it long and hard it had to be done. What really get s me is that these idiots listen to this rubbish; it’s just amazing really, its mind blowing. I have nothing to hid, if you want to know the truth then please come to the source and ask me. If you dislike what we have done that's okay but don’t make up lies and stories that are not true. I have never been in gaol, I have never been in front of an LDS court, and no one that is related to me has ever exploited anyone in the church with regards to taking money from them. I have never been arrested for fraud or any other crime of that nature. May be these people that say they knew us are the ones that were jealous of the wealth that my father had while in the LDS church, maybe they are the same ones that he took to dinner on numerous occasions and never thanked him, maybe these people are the ones that converted after what he had but as soon as he had some troubled times walked away form him and didn’t even extend the hand of friend ship, may be they are the ones that took more than they gave in back. What saddens me the most is that many of the people that accuse me and my family of much of these sick things don’t even know us first hand. Many of the people have only heard of us and have only listed to gossip and rumour. I have many friends that are LDS even my extended family my mother in law for instance in LDS and even she can’t believe some of the things that have been said about me. I have just yesterday meet with an old LDS friend at Starbucks in Derby where we had a great chat about some of the things above. I consider him a friend and those that know me know that I would not do the sorts of things that I have been accused of. My father has never been arrested for fraud or for anything of that nature. He might have offended people in the LDS church or had differences of opinion with many of them in the past, but that hardly qualifies them to speak about him in a manner that is both derogatory and untrue. Defamation of character and slander are serious and if I knew who these people were personally I would do something more about it though legal channels. I have approached the Nauvoo forum and have asked them to cease and desist their members from posting things of this nature and have told them of our action to seek legal advice should this continue. We have nothing to hide so I make this post with a clear conscience, I just hope that many of the people who have said some of the hatful things about us have some prang of conscience, however I doubt it.

If you have anything to ask please email me or the church and ask us, if you want to meet face to face about your concerned then I am happy to do that, as I have done just yesterday. Don’t listen to gossip and lies, because all that does is make a fool out of you.

The Last Video Presentation of The Year

Message From The Prophet

The Prophet talks about the current financial crisis that has gripped the world and how the members of the church are dealing with it. So please watch the videos below and we hope that you find it informative, God Bless .

Hello again to the blog site for The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. We hope that you have had a good week and that this blog finds you in good health.

This week has seen some of the most devastating news being beamed around the world, with talk of the imminent financial collapse of the United States and with Britain soon t follow suit, many people have been looking rather grim and down trodden, many of our world leaders look absolutely blasted and they seem to have no good news to pout to the people. We have been inundated with people emailing us asking us what our stance of all this upheaval and how did we feel about the gloom and crisis that the world is in.

Members of The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ are led today by a modern day living Prophet and they receive revelation from the Lord via the Prophet. We have in the church modern day scripture much of which speaks of our day and forewarns us of these things. Much of this revelation and prophesy which speaks to us of events that are happening today can be found in The Book of Prophecies and Revelation. So with this in mind our members are not worried too much about the events that unfold on the national and international news with regards to the financial collapse of the world and the unrighteous leadership of the different nations involved. We are more concerned with our righteousness and our actions in these times and how they reflect Christ like attribute and weather we are doing what we have been asked.

Just this Sunday the Prophet gave a talk on this very subject. In that meeting he quoted from the book of P&R from a revelation given on the 23rd of January2008. The prophet quoted from many sections of that revelation but the following quote made the biggest impression on my mind “Now behold before my Second Coming nations shall collapse one against the other. Behold my servant they shall collapse because they have not done like unto my servant Joseph son of Jacob and they have not put by for the lean years and they have not done this because of their greed and their wont. Now behold I have caused that they have been blinded by their own greed, but behold my servant these things shall come to because they have not listened to my Prophets and mine anointed and because of this the nations shall collapse and there shall be unrest….hearken unto mu voice for the tribulation is coming and it is coming with great speed and its speed is great and it is like unto a great wind and it shall come and strip bear your land and many others in its wake”

This is just one of the many times that our day is spoken of in the book of P&R however that quote was one that stuck in my mind and has stayed with me and caused me to remain faithful in these hard times and has called me up to remembrance of the promises that I made to God and to the church at my baptism.

Also this week we saw the unveiling of the UK national ID card another issue with which many have come to us and asked what our stance is on this issue. All across the world many God centred people have been asking if such things are from God if they are something that we should be taking and honouring. In the same Sunday meeting that has just gone the Prophet also reminded us that he had been told about this some time ago in 2006 and that we were not to touch them or even take part in them he quoted from the book of P&R again this time he read from a revelation given on Thursday the 19th of January 2006 in which it says “behold a warning I give unto you, the time will soon come when thou wilt be asked to take by the leaders of thy country cards to carry your identity, this thou must not do, that is the will of the Lord”

So my friends you see that the members of the church here fear nothing that is happening at the moment as we have been forewarned by the Lord that these things will come to pass. We hear the words of the Lord and we obey, this obedience helps us get through these times. We are not saying that the hard times that are coming or that we may yet be living in will be a stroll in the park because they won’t be; they will be hard and in some instances very dangerous. Some people may be in danger of losing there lives and other things that they hold dear, but the love of the lord will be with us through all that trouble and strife, he will be with us to guide us and to comfort us when we feel down and despairing, then it will be up to us to give back to him our obedience and faith. With this faith and obedience we shall be blessed and the lord will protect us.

The Lords church is a church of revelation, it is a living thing not a dead organisation that claims to have revelation but then none is forthcoming. If you feel that you are lost and alone at this troubled times then come unto us and we shall help you and shall comfort you and help lighten your burden with the love of Christ. If you feel that you are walking through a dark and dreary waste with no light to guide then we shall help show you the way by which you may gain that that light. We are here to comfort and uplift you in these dark and trying days. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ Is led by a modern day living Prophet of God who speaks and reveals his word to us.

God bless you on your journey, and let your journey led you here to your rest.

Dear brothers and sisters. I have recently had the opportunity to read the comments placed on the Juvenile instructor some time ago. After been told about it and what was said I thought that I would check it out. After reading the report I was shocked to see a report that was concise and informative, even if a little incorrect, however it was refreshing to see that this site and its mediators had taken the time to find out and analyze what was being said in an academic way rather than an unintellectual and scar mongering attitude that has to often been the case when these types of reports or posts have been made by other people such as those made on the Nauvoo forum.
After reading the report or post, I thought that I would glace through some of the comments. After glancing through the comments I was once again not shocked to see that some of the people who commented were doing so from a purely ill informed position. For instance there is one women o the comments section by the name of Christine that pleased with people not to send u money by saying
“I repeat, do not send money for Zion Camp!” Comment by Christine — May 15, 2008 @ 8:5 am She then goes on to say
I know these people (the Gills) very well. The whole thing - the ‘breakaway’ church and especially the appeal for money turns my stomach. Comment by Christine — June 13, 2008 @ 3:02 pm
I would be very interested to know who you are Christine. The name rings no bells for me, but maybe if you stopped to contact us for yourself to find out what we really believe you would stop being so confused and upset by what you think we have done.
The above comments are just a few that were made until they were told to stop by the mediator on the site, at least someone on there had the backbone to tell them to stop and for that we tank you.
The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is not secret it is not shut away so that nobody can contact us we are always here to discuss the gospel with people and the restoration, we have never mad mention of the fact that we are some kind of secret religion that never talks to people, however this attitude has been permitted far to often by our persecutors.
Let me once again inform everyone out there that we believe in the Book of Mormon and in Joseph Smith as a Prophet of the restoration. We hold true to that fact that the early church was established by the Lord Jesus Christ to bring about a change and to bring about the true and living gospel of Christ once again upon the earth. We hold true to the belief that the 1835 D&C is the only copy of the D&C to have been approved by the prophet and the church as a whole and therefore stands as the only copy approved by God. We also hold true to the fact that the Kirtland Temple was and still is the only building built by the early saints and by the Prophet Joseph that was ordained of God to be his temple. We believe and hold true to the fact that the church ceased to exist when the Prophet was cruelly took from us in 1844 that he was not given to appoint another in his stead as the D&C tells us he would do. We hold true to the fact that the church at that time had fallen in to disobedience that there were men and women within the church doing things which Joseph Smith and others were trying to eradicate such as the practice of polygamy and other such practices, and because the church had been warned and not listened after the disobedience of Kirtland that if they feel in to error again that the Lord would withdraw from them the blessing of the gospel no successor was chosen. We believe and hold true to the fact that Brigham young and many others established churches after the death of the Prophet without authority from God and although they may have done good works or may now be in the process of doing good work they are not churches of God. We hold true to the fact that that the Lord has called forth his people again in this time to establish his church one again upon the earth. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is that church and has been ordained by God to stand as his kingdom upon the earth. We hold true to the Book of Jeraneck that stands as a further witness of Christ and his divinity. We hold true to the witness in the book of Jeraneck that the land of Britain is a chosen and choice land and that a righteousness people once inhabited its shores full of the love and grace of God ready to do that which was asked of them by him. We hold true that they just as those spoken of in the book of Mormon feel in to error and were slain from of the face of the land and only the wicked were left upon its shores. Many people criticize us because of the book of Jeraneck and its teachings. They accuse it of being fabrication and a book of the devil; however most of these people have never read the book and have never even picked up a copy. Many of these people find the same problems with the Book of Mormon and the Bible so we see no merit in there accusations. The Book of Jeraneck was given to us by the gift and power of God and we shall continue to give it to as many people as ask for it. It has touched many peoples lives, not just those attached to the church. It has influenced people all over the world to seek out the lord more in their lives and to pray more and to actively seek the lord. We hold true to the fact that the Lord has called a modern day living Prophet once again upon the earth and that we receive constant revelation concerning the coming of the Saviour and the last days, not to mention personal revelation concerning our own lives and actions. Revelation is an important part of the church and the gospel, the gospel of Christ can not function without it, it is the instrument that the Lord uses to convey things to us of great importance, revelation is spoken of in all the books of scripture and is a vital part of the latter day gospel. I do not understand churches that t profess to be the true church when they receive little if any modern revelation. We hold true to the fact that this revelation takes many forms that it comprises of lost scripture and new teachings give to us by God.
We have been accused also of being very similar to the LDS church and that we have a lot in common, I would like to disagree with that most whole heartily. The only things that we seem to have in common are that we both believe in Joseph Smith and even that can be different, as we believe in a different version of the man, just as we believe in different version of the book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants and the Bible, so in fact although on the face of it we might seem like we have a lot in common, we don’t. This church is lead by God and a real Prophet who speaks with God, not a president who stands as a CEO of a big global corporation.
Although we are small were are true and that stands for a lot. I hope that we are able t help and assist all those people that have become disillusioned by the big LDS church or the crumbling Community of Christ and all the other restoration groups who have no substance. I want you to know that we stand ready to help and assist you in your continued journey to eternal salvation. Please if you are one of these lost sheep, get in touch with us and let us add to the knowledge that you already have, let us show you the gospel of Christ is alive and it is talking to the people today.
God bless you all

Over the past couple of weeks we have been in contact with lots of people from all over the world. This is wonderful to see that our message is being received by lots of different people with the same hopes and dreams that we have. However one set of people have relay struck home to us just how important this work is and the job that we still have to do for the Lord.
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a man in the USA, this man Is wonderful he is truly blessed by the Lord and has a pure heart and wants to know and understand his role in the Lords plan and what role he has to play in that plan. We have been communicating now for over two weeks and he has a small congregation in the US that are also searching for Zion and the truth. I would like to address this weeks blog to them if I may and hopefully others who read this may also gain something from this as well:-

A couple of weeks ago I sent some papers out to our friends in the United States, it seems form our emails that they are having some difficulty in understanding why we need to be re baptised. I was glad that they have raised the issue of re baptism, because if they had not raised that issue then I would have thought that they were not reading the things that I sent, but it looks like they are so that is great. The problem that they and some of their congregation are having is very similar to what Joseph Smith and the early saints were going through and because of this very issue of re-baptism the Lord gave Joseph Smith a revelation and that is found in D&C section 22 in this section the Lord outlines why he has asked people to be re-baptised it says:-

Behold, I say unto you that all old covenants have I caused to be done away in this thing; and this is a new and an everlasting covenant, even that which was from the beginning.
2Wherefore, although a man should be baptized an hundred times it availeth him nothing, for you cannot enter in at the strait gate by the law of Moses, neither by your dead works.
3 For it is because of your dead works that I have caused this last covenant and this church to be built up unto me, even as in days of old.
4Wherefore, enter ye in at the gate, as I have commanded, and seek not to counsel your God. Amen.

You see, it is not that God is saying that you must be re-baptized just to join a new religion or to join a club, but rather to join and seal yourself to a new covenant or promise that he, the Lord has instituted not man. Baptism is not just for the remission of sins, although this is a big part of baptism, but it is a promise a covenant that we make with God that we have entered in to this new promise with him, it becomes a very personal thing rather than a blanket thing were it is just for the remission of sins, it is a living hopeful new law or covenant that the Lord has given unto us. I believe that Joseph Smith was and still is a Prophet of God. I believe that the Lord spoke to him and that what is written in the 1835 D&C are the words of God unto him and if this is the case then I believe that what is written in there is from the Lord.

I do hope that although this may seem like a big issue that you will be prayerful over it and that you will not let this be a stumbling block for yourselves and others in joining us with so that we can accomplish all that the Lord has in store for his people. Zion will be redeemed the Lord will have his people united, Zion will be born again and stand as a banner to the world. I believe that things this important are worth fighting for, that God has revealed his truth in these last days and that we stand as his interments and that he has established the church again for the redemption of Zion. I do not believe for one minute that the Lord led you all to us for you let re-baptism be a deal breaker in any way, the Lord has established his law in the D&C and it says that this is necessary to enter in to his new covenant. The Lord is everything and he wants his people to be one, not just in action but in thought and spirit. He wants his people to be like unto Enoch and the City of Zion and for us to establish that Zion upon the earth and I believe that is worth the ask. I know thaw the Lord is with you and that he has brought you to us for a reason and that our paths have crossed for a far greater reason, the establishment of Zion his people upon the earth once more, don’t forget you live in the Promised Land and it is not a coincidence that you found us. I believe that we were brought together for that greater purpose of his church being established once again on the earth and for a people like your to help build Zion in the United States and to be united with his church.

God Bless you my friends. I hope to be able to meet you one day and to stand with you and to minister to you and for you all to be united in Zion with us so that we can go forth and quench the parched earth and make it flower again and make Zion stand as a banner once again.
“Remember straight is the way and narrow is the gate and few there be that find it”

It has been a while since the blog page has been updated and this has caused some people to wonder weather or not the church is still operating. Let me assure everyone that The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is still here! We have not ceased to operate and the wok continues and it continues with the blessing and love of the Saviour Jesus Christ.

The progress of the work is something that is going from strength to strength and is a work in progress. The church has never claimed to be a big multi conglomerate entity, in fact we have stressed on many occasions that we are here not to compete with those churches but to do the work of the Lord, a work that we are doing very well. The Book of Jeraneck has been received in many counties on many different continents and it has fulfilled the purpose for which it was given to us. We have done all that the Lord has commanded concerning the Book of Jeraneck and we have done it with very little resource. The Book of Jeraneck like many books of scripture is had for both good and bad, it had been received on the whole very well but like all good things there is opposition that still exists and that this fine. We have never stated that people can not have differing opinions on the book or even different opinions about the church; all we have asked is that we be given a chance to tell our side of the story before people listen to gossip or hearsay.
The work and our message is being greatly received at the moment in the United States were many people have contacted us with a view to joining the church and becoming active in our mission. The Lord is preparing that fertile ground so that one day a branch of Zion may be erected. This is pleasing to us as we know that the American continent is the Promised Land and that Zion shall be built upon that continent. To all those that live in the United States and have expressed a willingness to join the church please take the time to pray about your decision and to read the material that we send after this if you still wish to united with us then that can be accomplished.
All in all the Lord is working a mighty miracle at the moment and the past disappointments are well and truly behind us, as we march on to our final goal. To all those that have tasted the waters of baptism an have rejected the message I implore you to get back on to the straight and narrow path and hold firm to the iron rod, for only true and enduring happiness can be fund in the church of God and that is here. To all those Mormons of what ever denomination you belong who are felling unappreciated and underused, I say this, we have a work for you here at The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. There is much we can offer you and much we can add to what you already know to be true. Please contact us we standby ready to help and assist you.

Once again brothers and sisters, God bless all of you and please continue to read the blog and email the church, we are always happy to receive emails form people and to help those looking for the light. God Bless.

Requirements for Membership In

The Latter Day Church

of

Jesus Christ

We have been asked by a few people to give them a set of requirements for membership. I have therefore taken the decision in light of s few people asking that we post the requirements for people to join the church. Despite what some of you may have heard the church is still here we have not gone in to obscurity or fallen apart, although I'm sure some people would love us to. The purpose of this post and these requirements is not only to inform people about what they have to do to be joined with us but it is our way of letting you know that the church is in fact here and doing the Lords work. This week alone we have given out over ten Books of Jeraneck and have given out numerous amounts of reading material to those that are seeking the truth. The Lord has revealed again in our day his word and the work that he wants to be done. I know that there are many of you out there that have a testimony of Joseph Smith that have read the Book of Mormon and know it to be true, but you feel let down and not supported by the other Mormon faiths. I would encourage all those that are having these or similar difficulties to contact us. We are ready to add to your belief and love of the Prophet Joseph and the Book of Mormon. Please don’t suffer in silence come to us and we shall fulfil your testimony and give you renewed vigour and belief.
So here it is The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ’s requirements for membership.

D&C 20:37
And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism-

• All those who humble themselves before God
• And desire to be baptized
• And come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits
• And witness before the church that they have truly repented of ALL their sins
• And are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ
• Having a determination to serve him to the end,
• And truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins,
  SHALL be received by baptism into his church...

D&C 10:67-68

Behold, this is my doctrine--

• whosoever repenteth
• and cometh unto me,

The same is my church. Whosoever declareth more or less than this, the same is not of me, but is against me; therefore he is not of my church.

2 Nephi 31:13, 21

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye will

• follow the Son,
• with full purpose of heart,
• acting no hypocrisy
• and no deception before God,
• but with real intent,
• repenting of your sins,
• witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ by Baptism --
• Yea, by following your Lord and your Saviour down into the water, according to his word...

And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost...

2 Nephi 32:5

For Behold, again I say unto you that if ye will

• enter in by the way,
• and receive the Holy Ghost,

It will show unto you all things what ye should do. Behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and there will be no more doctrine given until after he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh.

3 Nephi 11

Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another, but this is my doctrine that such things should be done away... And this is my doctrine... that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere,

• To repent
• And believe in me...
• And be baptized in my name,
• And become as a little child...

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that is my doctrine... And whoso shall declare more or less than this, and establish it for my doctrine, the same cometh of evil...

Mosiah 23
... It is not expedient that we should have a king; for thus saith the Lord; Ye shall not esteem one flesh above another, or one man shall not think himself above another... Remember the iniquity of King Noah and his priests... ye have been oppressed by King Noah, and have been in bondage to him and his priests, and have been brought into iniquity by them... I desire that ye should stand fast in the liberty wherewith ye have been made free, and that ye trust no man to be king over you. And also trust no one to be your teacher nor your minister...

Alma 1
And when the priests left their labour to impart the word of God unto the people, the people also left their labours to hear the word of God. And when the priest had imparted unto them the word of God they all returned again diligently unto their labours; and the priest, not esteeming himself above his hearers, for the preacher was not better than the hearer, neither was the teacher any better than the learner; and thus they were all equal...

The church has gone through a very trying couple of weeks with deception and treachery being the order of the day. I want to assure all those that have remained faithful that the Lord is with us that he will not allow the work that has been done over the last four years to be brought to nought, Those that have acted in the way they have know that they will be held accountable for their actions by a judge higher than this earth, We are not the only people to have ever been hurt our founders suffered, Brother Joseph suffered but he endured and that’s what makes us strong. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is still here and is still standing despite the best efforts of those that came here to do us harm. We may not have the trappings of the big churches, the fine buildings the temples we may not have what The LDS of the CofC or the born agains have but we have the truth and that counts for a lot more.

People all over the world are hearing about us are reading the book of Jeraneck and are liking what they are reading and finding out, we are here for them, for the ones that want to genuinely know more we are here for the ones that have really prayed to receive and answer to their prayers. May God bless all those that want to do us harm may he have his spirit to stir your soul to forgiveness for what you have done or what you are thinking of doing.
God bless all the faithful that have clung to the truth and have tasted the fruit and held true to the rod…..To paraphrase a wonderful quote by the prophet Joseph Smith "Notwithstanding our enemies were continually breathing threats of violence, we do not fear, neither do we hesitate to prosecute our journey, for God is with us, and His angels are before us, and the faith of our little band is unwavering. We know that angels are our companions, for we have seen them"

God bless you all Amen

Hi folks we hope that you have all had a great week and that the lord has blessed you in some way. A lot has happed over the last week or so. We had the pleasure of having our first Joseph Smith memorial meeting on Sunday and we had the pleasure of hearing from our newest convert Elder Kyle Alverson who spoke about the Prophet Joseph with real spirit and conviction. We also had the pleasure of hearing form the modern day Prophet Matthew Gill and he also spoke about his personal relationship with Joseph Smith; all in all it was a great meeting.
In the way of news for everyone we have set up a blog site for our chesterfield contingent and the link to that can be found on our main site. Elder Smith has moved over to chesterfield to help and support the new members there and the church is going form strength to strength. Of course we are still looking for new members all the time so if you feel that you are missing something in your life and that it seems that there must be more to this existence than what there is, or you have a testimony of the Prophet Joseph smith and the book of Mormon but are not being fulfilled in your existing church then get in touch with us we have a lot to offer and truths that will fulfil your life.
Alos we have a new video in production at the momnet about the life of the Prophet Jospeh Smith and we also have a new video for the blog that we hopefully be put on next week, so keep and eye out for that.

We would like to thank everyone for the help they gave that day and for making it such a wonderful event for Kyle & Andrew.

Baptism of Kyle & Andrew Alverson

It is with great pleasure that I the Leader and Prophet of The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ have the opportunity to write this week’s blog. The past week has been one that has lifted my resolve and my spirits, I have seen the Lord work his might miracle and I have seen him do wondrous things to the hearts of men who are willing to open their hearts to the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. I would like to take the time to publicly thank our Friends in Australia for their love and their support, we really do appreciate your emails they lift my spirits and its good to know that we have friends, thank you once again. On Friday just gone myself and a few of the priesthood of the church were able to spend a wonderful time together with friends reading talking and studying the gospel, we were blessed with a revelation from the Lord during our studies and time together and that in itself was a glorious thing to behold.
However the world never lets the work of the Lord go on without people wanting to bring it down or who wish to drag through the dirt the name of the Prophet Joseph Smith and that glorious work the Book of Mormon. I had the displeasure of seeing the video on youtube by Shazoloo and I have to say that I am very disappointed that he chose to attack the Book of Mormon with such venom. Although I respect him for his views and I respect him for his love of the Saviour, it seems to me that lately he has found any possible reason to attack the Book of Mormon and therefore the Prophet Joseph Smith. The arguments that he puts forward to destroy the Book of Mormon as a book of scripture and a book of God although eloquent in their tone are nothing more than what I expect from a born again Christian. The Book of Mormon does in many ways contradict the Bible but this is only because the Bible although a record and a collection of the teachings of the Jews and the early Christians is not infallible. It has many errors in it due to the fact that it has been through so many people’s hands and it has been used by men who would have the Bible used for their own edification or for their own wicked designs. However I understand that the Bible is the word of God, but this can only be truly trusted as far as it is translated correctly.
The argument that I have just put forth for the Bible can be said of the Book of Mormon, if you know its history. The Book of Mormon was first published in 1830 and since the death of the prophet Joseph Smith it has gone through revision after revision and change after change. For example the Community of Christ have a version that is totally in new English and it has been watered down so much that it has nothing resembling the original about it. The LDS church has revised their edition so many times and they have even taken and altered bits form the original. However the difference between the Bible and the Book of Mormon is that we have an original edition of the Book of Mormon. The manuscript is still available for people to see; indeed you can buy a replica of the original copy with the same text and print as was found in the edition that The Prophet Joseph Smith had printed at the E.B. Grandin bookstore in Palmyra, New York. As you may be aware no one can get a copy of the original manuscripts of the Bible as many people wrote them and many of them have never been seen since the person who wrote them finished them.
I have posted a video response to the video on you tube and I hope that who ever view's this blog will enjoy it and find it informative. I hope that Shazzolo comes back to us and that we can have a healthy sensible debate on many of the issues that he raises and let it be a discussion that is done with respect and with Christ like attitudes, because that is what should be done when talking about the Gospel of Christ. However I would say to him that maybe he is being led astray by not reading and praying about the book of Mormon or even the Book of Jeraneck, may be it’s him that needs to be more influence by the spirit of Christ and not the other way around.
God Bless.

Should We Pray About The Book of Mormon? YES!!
