Thank you for writing and inquiring as to our mission here in Manti. Yours was an interesting letter to say the least. If you have regular access to our website then you have already begun to comprehend what our mission is in these last days as well as our message of warning to the LDS society and to the world. First and foremost, Sister [Name Withheld], you need to understand that the LDS Church is ripe for destruction for their blasphemies and rebellions against the Lord. Yes, the Lord may have initially brought you to the LDS Church for a reason, but you must now realize that they are in an irreversible state of apostasy from the truth and are soon to receive the Lord's wrath.
You must always take the Holy Spirit for your guide in all things, BUT you must first know what the true witness of the Spirit is, for one may easily be deceived by the adversary. Have you received an LDS endowment in the Temple? If so, what was the date of this endowment? It is in a true endowment that a person is taught how to pray in the True Order of Prayer in order to know how to receive revelation and guidance.
The Lord has also told us in the scriptures that He will gather His people in unto ONE place on the face of the promised land in order to protect them in the last days. He also states that they who do not gather in time or who will not take up their sword to fight against their neighbor will need flee to Zion. Yes, I do believe that there will be pockets of 'good intentioned' people who will need to band together when the horrible and devastating events engulf the United States as a whole, BUT these people would have been far better off in the first place if they had heeded the Spirit and gathered out of danger and become one with the remnant of Saints in the 'safe place' where the Priesthood in its Fullness would be wielded to protect them. I am saying that if you receive a witness that our work is true in Manti and that we truly have God's Priesthood power to establish Zion, THEN YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE THE WITNESS FROM HEAVEN THAT YOU NEED TO GATHER HERE WITHOUT DELAY. Some of your thinking and mind set up to this point may actually now become a decoy to doing the right thing if you are not very careful in heeding the truth of the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
It would be very advantageous for you to come and find out if we have the truth, first of all. With that said, I would like to announce that we are holding a weekend seminar on the teachings of the Fullness of the Gospel in two weeks, November 14th and 15th (Saturday and Sunday).
There is also an order of leadership that should be existent in your family order that I would also like to address. It seems that you are doing all of the talking and thinking for your family and future. Where is your husband in all of this? God has taught us that the man is to lead his family and that children are to obey their parents. I only bring up this point because I have heard nothing from your husband and it would be very out of order for you to be doing all of the organizing and receiving all of the revelation for the welfare of your family. I do not mean to intrude or step on your feet with these observations, I just do not understand what the nature of your family arrangement is. Please let me know.
You must also beware to not assume that everything that you are planning at this point is how it is supposed to go in the future. I firmly believe that God may be giving you an opportunity to receive guidance, truth and deliverance by meeting up with us in Manti. How this all turns out is up to you, of course. Be sure to not get caught up in your own self importance and agenda to the point that you reject the quiet truths of the Spirit, dear Sister.
I invite you to consider the things I have told you, for I
am speaking the truth. Consider coming out here in two weeks and
experiencing the truth in a way you have never imagined before.
You could fly out to Salt Lake City and arrange travel from there,
just let me know what your abilities are regarding travel. In
the meantime, be very diligent about reading our messages on the
website and also be very prayerful and open to the promptings
of the Spirit. We would also like to know what your husband's
position is regarding these things, as it is important for him
to be the leader and see to the welfare of his family. We would
love to hear from him if he so desires.
I hope this has been helpful for you and it is my sure knowledge
that if you are truly one of the Lord's Elect, then the Spirit
will guide you to gather with the Saints ONCE you have obtained
enough knowledge to receive a witness from God; this is why it
would be most helpful to come out here and see and experience
our gathering, teachings and Spirit for yourself.
May you prayerfully consider these things.
Sincerely, as a servant of the Lord,
Jeff Hanks
