The Greatest Mystery Ever Revealed: the Mystery of the Will of God: The Image of God. Book 1
()
About this ebook
The world has rehearsed many stories, fables and secrets since the fall of man, in an attempt to teach some moral lesson or ethical grace. However, the greatest mystery ever revealed was first hidden by God, Himself, in Himself, long before the first Adam was formed from the dust of the earth. This mystery, having been kept secret since the world began was revealed only after the last Adam, Jesus Christ, died, rose, ascended and returned as the Comforter on the day of Pentecost. This Book 1 begins the four volume journey revealing that Will of God that was made a mystery, concluding that Adam and Eve possessed the indwelling Spirit of God.

He taught in the Warren County public school system and graduated with honors in 1986 from the North Carolina Central University School ofLaw, Durham, North Carolina, with a Juris Doctorate degree. Michael met Christ, while in law school in 1984, and soon afterwards he married Angela Culbertson. He is the father of two children and grandfather of four. In 1988 he recognized the call into the ministry and later enrolled in the Southeastern Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Georgia, under the late Dr. Gregg Singer of Salisbury, North Carolina. Michael has published and written legal articles, religious skits and plays, songs and autobiographies. He has traveled widely, and hosted two regular radio programs. As the pastor of Damascus, Emmanuel Church, located in East Spencer, North Carolina, and as a bishop in the Emmanuel Churches worldwide, Bishop King has done extensive evangelism and missionary work in the poor areas of North Carolina, and Alabama and in the poor areas of South Africa. During his missionary journeys Bishop King learned that the poor regardless of their race or nationality all possess the same needs,aspirations and desires. They need hope and they all desire to do better in this life and the life to come. And during the South African visits Bishop King learned that the developing countries are in great need of teaching materials regarding the Will of God in the every day lives of the people. It is the Bishop's hope that the publishing and distribution of this work will greatly inhance the work in South Africa and other developing countries who hunger and thirst after the Word of God,

And A Note On How To Use This Work (For the Complete Four volume set)
Greetings in the name of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ! I trust that upon reading this page you are ready to be reminded of, or to learn and be taught the strong meat of the word of righteousness. For, he that attempts to study this work must be of an humble mind and teachable spirit. This work possesses many statements and scriptures sure to cause great controversy for babes in Christ and the carnal Christian alike. This work began through a prophecy from the Lord, to the writer, through another preacher, prophet. It has been through the obedience of the writer and his being taught directly by revelation of the Holy Ghost, that this work has proceeded this far. The writer declares to know nothing except what the Spirit of Christ has taught him and led him to place upon paper. This work is intended to help, remind, reprove, instruct, correct and provide a roadmap for those who dare to approach the way called Holiness.
A note here is necessary to warn that most of this work was taught to and learned by the writer as he wrote, and therefore, from time to time his own human frailties may have been inserted within the text, unknowingly. Please forgive. For this reason, you are admonished to read every scripture text and citation given, for every statement made.
Be not afraid to question the conclusions, but do so not with a mind to condemn but to get a better understanding. Always pray before you open these pages, asking the Lord to lead, guide and teach you more perfectly what the writer has attempted to do.
The writer suggests the following method of studying this work: (1) Do not use it as a crutch. Get an understanding; (2) Study one, small section at a time, for this is the manner in which the Spirit of Christ taught the writer. The work does not attempt to read as a novel, but as a complete, resource text for the subjects covered; (3) After studying a section, try teaching it to a friend or incorporating it into your preaching sermon. This will help your understanding even more. (4) Tape record your teaching and preaching sessions. Then, when you are alone, only with the Lord, listen to it. If you are sincere the Lord will teach you, remind you and open up your understanding even farther. (5) Use a King James Version of the Holy Scriptures, the Hebrew, Chaldee and Greek Dictionaries of the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the King James Version, and a Webster’s dictionary.
(a) For these are the earth-bound tools used by the writer. (6) Abbreviations and symbols and their meanings used throughout this work are as foWhen a book, chapter and verse citation is given such as
‘(Ge 2:7a)’, this means that the writer is using only the first half or portion of the verse cited. For example, And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground....
(Ge 2:7a) Here, although this is not the complete verse, the writer wants to discuss at this point only the first portion of the verse.
(b) When a book, chapter and verse citation is given such as ‘(Ge 2:7b)’, this means that the writer’s intent is to use only the second half or portion of the verse cited. For example, ...breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
(Ge 2:7b) Here, although this is not the complete verse, the writer wants to discuss at this point only the last portion of the verse.
(c) The cite ‘e.g.’ means ‘for example’.
(d) The cite ‘i.e.’ means ‘that is’, or ‘in other words it means this.’
(e) The Bible, Book Abbreviations used throughout this work are:
(f) ‘Read’ means stop! Do not go any further until you have read the scriptural citation.
(g) ‘[]’, anything in brackets is either added by the writer to make the point clearer or, it means that the section being quoted is not the beginning of the verse. Something may have been left out or changed such as a small letter being made a Capital letter or vice versa.
(h) ‘...’ means that some of the verse has been left out.
The writer has attempted to assist the reader with correct pronunciation of difficult and foreign words. This is done by placing the phonetic spelling of the boldface English, Greek, Hebrew or Chaldee words being discussed, in italics, within parenthesis. For example, the word boule is pronounced (boo-lay’). This work has been broken down into small sections and chapters for ease of study.
To assist the disciple of Christ even further, this work includes a Table of Contents, an Index and a Table of Scriptural Citations. The Table of Contents allows one to get an overview of the major topics and themes covered in the complete work. The Index allows one to find specific words and phrases within each separate Book. By using the Index the researcher is able to easily locate the places in the work where the word or topic is discussed. The Table of Scriptural Citations will assist the seeker in locating a specific scriptural verse on the pages that the verse is mentioned or discussed. Each Book has its own separate Index and Table of Scriptural Citations.
This work is a work in progress as you read. For, the writer has learned that line must be placed upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little. (Isa 28:10,13) This work was written as one book with each chapter picking up where the last or preceding chapter left off. However, for purposes of making it affordable for the less fortunate the one book is published in four separate volumes or books, called Book 1, Book 2, Book 3 and Book 4. To get a complete understanding the reader will need to study all four books, because some topics are discussed a little in all four books, depending upon how the Spirit of Christ revealed and opened up the scriptures to the writer. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ...
(Ga 1:12) has this work come to be. Please pray for the writer that the Lord may continue to reveal Himself to him and that the writer may be able to teach others.
Your comments are welcome. If you have additional scripture that you believe agrees with, disagrees with or clarifies what you find here, please send your thoughts and your scriptures to the writer that they may be considered and the text amended as required. The writer’s goal here, is to be completely and totally correct in all that lies within these pages as much as this is possible with the Holy Ghost leading and inspiring human flesh. Thank you. A battle warrior in Christ Jesus.
