Though we may not know a person who is the Holy Spirit, Yeshua spoke about him!
The Holy Spirit would have come upon us whenever we proclaim the good news of the Father, but WE ARE NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT!
But Shembe the Prophet appeared as the HOLY SPIRIT to the people!
1.Shabbat Shalom to the saints. The topic for this sermon is: “Yeshua’s church was revitalized by Shembe.”
2.In Deuteronomy 14:1-2 Yahua says: “Ye are the children of the LORD your God…For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God,
3. and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth!” – King James Version
4.We are Yahuah’s nation, but after our apostacy against Him we ended up being a cursed nation.
5.All the curses that Yahuah, in Deuteronomy 28, said would overtake us, indeed came to pass exactly as they had been predicted! But if we repent, Yahuah will forgive us!
6.I often point out that a divine being visited me 2010 and said she had been sent to instruct me to return the people to Yahuah’s Law.
7.The last time that an angel would come down and dwell with the people and instruct them on heavenly life was during ancient Israelite times!
8.This alone simply indicates that Yahuah has not abandoned us; we are still His people just as we were in the past!
9.The Nazarites were supposed to show the world that Shembe was sent down from heaven to reconcile us with Yahuah.
10.But that is not the case. Other Nazarite enclaves are no longer interested in the Prophet’s teachings about the Law of Yahuah; they have now found themselves other gods of their choice!
11.Shembe is Yahuah’s prophet who was sent down to earth to restore the black nation to the appropriate way of worshipping Yahuah!
12.In Acts 24:5, we read: “For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.” – KJV
13.There were three prominent sects during Yeshua’s time: the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Nazarites.
14.But only the Pharisees and the Sadducees were mentioned in the New Testament!
15.In the last sermon we quoted a text written by Jerome, an authority in the pagan religion, the one who translated a number of Hebrew books to Latin, which ended up as the New Testament.
16.In such texts Jerome was directly opposed to the Nazarites, saying they were just like all the Judeans because they still read the Old Testament, something that was not acceptable within the new Roman religion!
17.But Jerome’s statement sounds credible to many pious people because nobody really knew that, except a ‘Shembeite’ church, the Nazarites were Yeshua’s sect!
18.Shembe was sent down from heaven to revive Yeshua’s church which had been utterly destroyed by the gentiles after conquering us in 70 A.D.!
19.In page 10 of Rav Sha’ul’s book entitled THE NAZARENE: Betrayed, Beaten..Begotten! we read:
20.“Many people are beginning to understand that Yeshua’s sect were the Nazarites, not this name given by gentiles!
21.After the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls which were ancient Hebrew writings, even before the birth of Yeshua, we now know about the Nazarite sect which was led by Yeshua.”
22.In page 25, Sha’ul says: “We know that the Nazarite sect was founded by Prophet Yochanan (John).
23.Yochanan mentored Yeshua the Messiah, preparing him for the office of the High Priest.
24.Yeshua took over the leadership of the Nazarite sect from Yochanan.
25.Eventually, this Nazarite sect was led by Apostle Sha’ul.”
26.What we do not understand is how Shembe knew that Yeshua’s sect were the Nazarites,
27.and how on earth would he understand how Yeshua’s sect members conducted their daily lives since Shembe had never attended a formal education institution.
28.Yeshua’s Nazarites accepted him as Yahuah’s prophet who followed the Mosaic Law!
29.Even Shembe, Yahuah’s prophet, taught us about the Law of Moshe (Moses) and even made it the foundation of this church in verse 3 of the Sabbath Liturgical Prayer, that we should keep Yahuah’s Law which He brought down to us through Moses!
30.Before he departed from this planet, Yeshua predicted the coming of a person who would appear in the form of Shembe!
31.In John 14:15-17, we read: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.
32. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
33. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” – KJV
34.In John 16:14-15, we read: “He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
35. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” – KJV
36.The Nazarite sect that was left by Yeshua and destroyed by the gentiles has been revitalized by Shembe!
37.Here Yeshua says the Holy Spirit will revive the teachings of the Father and those of Yeshua!
38.Others say the Holy Spirit is not a person!
39.But they do not explain how this Spirit, which is not a person, will speak to the people.
40.Here Yeshua is referring to a PERSON WHO WILL BE THE HOLY SPIRIT!
41.There is a difference between a person WHO IS POSSESSED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND A PERSON WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.
42.Though we may not know a person who is the Holy Spirit, Yeshua spoke about him!
43.The Holy Spirit would have come upon us whenever we proclaim the good news of the Father, but WE ARE NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT!
44.But Shembe the Prophet appeared as the HOLY SPIRIT to the people!
45.In the following narrative we will reveal how Shembe would appear to the people in his dimension as the Holy Spirit!
46.Here we provide Elijah Mhlongo’s narrative which goes thus: “I used to stay near Ottawa, in the vicinity of Verulam, while I was employed as a foreman on a farm of a white man who was nicknamed Nyoniyandiza.
47.I used to work with some Nazarites, but whenever they fell sick, they would not dare receive herbal healing services.
48.I would often prohibit them from worshipping, hating them for refusing to buy my herbal concoctions since I was a healer! I was a member of some white people’s church!
49.Due to the bitterness I had for these people, I beat up their Preacher, Gulakudeni Nduli, for no reason at all!
50.When I beat him up, he said: “If you beat me up, you are offending Shembe!” I also told him: “I’m beating you up because you’re winning my people over to your faith!”
51.One night I heard some people coming towards my homestead, singing a hymn with the following lyrics: “You’ve provoked enemies, you’ve provoked Kuphakama. You’ve tampered with a relentless world phenomenon; how will you quench it?”
52.I could figure out that that was a hymn of eKuphakameni, was deeply frightened and covered my face.
53.I then heard a person’s knock on the door, calling my healing professional name: “Malingakwenzeke, as from today, your healing occupation is over.”
54.He said so twice with a soft but awesome voice which I did not know. I was terribly frightened. I lost my sleep until dawn!
55.Six days passed after that event,
56.and while I was asleep one night, a man came with two maidens draped in white clothes.
57.I had a vision of myself sitting in front of my hut under a fig tree where I had displayed my herbs since there were two men who had come to buy some herbs.
58.When the man appeared, he made a salutation, saying: “We salute you, O Malingakwenzeke.”
59.The two maidens flanking this man were clothed in white and their heads were covered with white headscarves.
60.When the man had greeted me he kept quiet and one maiden in his company said:
61.“The Master is asking what the men in front of you want.”
62.I did not reply because I was timid. I then gazed upon the man who was flanked by the maidens.
63.I could not look at him because he was shining like a windowpane.
64.Then I said to the two men who had come to buy herbs: “Take your leave and come back tomorrow.”
65.Once more, I then gazed upon the man between the maidens.
66.All of a sudden, it became possible to look at him once again. He said to me: “Tell these men to leave permanently; they should not come back here tomorrow because these herbal concoctions are no longer in your possession.”
67.While I was still listening to that story, he continued, saying: “You are guilty; I will arrest you at Verulam because you have beaten my people up just for refusing to use your herbal concoctions.”
68.I then understood very well that that man was Shembe.
69.He raised his hand and placed it on my chest, handing his staff over to one maiden who was with him.
70.The maiden then asked me: “Do you know who we are?”
71.I responded, saying: “I know that this one is a priest of eKuphakameni.”
72.She said: “No, he is not a priest; he is the Father’s prophet.
73.Since you are now aware that he is a prophet, you will no longer practise as a healer from now onwards.” You are not saying that Shembe is the Father!
75.The maiden proceeded, saying: “The Lord of eKuphakameni says you must resign from your position as the farm foreman and accept the position a preacher; nobody can take it away from you except the Lord of eKuphakameni.”
76. As soon as the maiden was done talking, Shembe called another maiden and said: “Volo Mntungwa!”
77.She responded, and he said: “Tell this man that his occupation as a healer is over.
78.I am now giving him the sole occupation of a preacher.
79.I will commission him to go and heal people in my church.” This is what that maiden told me.
80.When I looked at the staff that was carried by one maiden, a tiny hole appeared beneath it.
81.The smoke came out of the hole until it reached the feet of the maiden. Shembe then said to her:
82.“Tell him that we are inviting him to attend a meeting of shelters at eKuphakameni.”
83.The maiden told me just as she had been instructed. I then heard Volo singing the following song:
84.‘I will cross Huze River, and across it, will receive my joy.’
85.The three of them sang this song very well with cool, peaceful voices.
86.They then vanished, and I remained there under the tree with my herbal concoctions spread on the ground. I felt so much fear just like an incarcerated person!
86.I saw myself falling into that well-lit, extremely hot hole! I almost sweated to death.
87.I cried and heard my bags of herbs crying too. They were burning, crying like humans, as they were moving around in that pit.
88.I woke up and realised that my sleeping mat was wet due to sweating.
89.I told my wives in the morning that I had been sweating while I was incarcerated by Shembe.
90.They were surprised as they could see how the mat was wet due to my sweat.
91.I then said to them: “Let us go and attend the meeting of shelters at eKuphakameni as per Shembe’s invitation.”
92. My senior wife concurred to go with me, but the junior one refused and said: “What will you do with these herbal concoctions because they are not acceptable within Shembe’s church?”
93.I answered and said: “I have been told that I will no longer be a herbal healer; I will now be a preacher of eKuphakameni. I will be mandated to go and heal people through prayer.
94. Do not hesitate; let us go there and be baptized.”
95.We went to the meeting of shelters at Ntanda.
96.I saw Shembe in his physical dimension for the first time.
97.He was sitting beside a house at Zibone, speaking with some people who were listening to him. He then said:
“When the Father sent me, I was not interested because I was still young.
98.You too did not want to be commissioned when I called you to come out of your respective families.
99.Listen attentively now that you are finally here.
100.Now I am not here. I have gone out to call your fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. Here come some of them.”
101.I assumed that he was just telling a story, but after listening to him for a long time, when I heard him saying: “Here come some of them!” I realized that he was preaching!
102.When I looked at him, I could figure out that he was the same man that came to me at home, at Nyoniyandiza’s estate.
103.While I was meditating on that thought, he called me and said: “Have you arrived?”
104.Out of fear I could not respond. He then called a Mr Memela and said to him: “Ask this herbal healer, Malingakwenzeke, why he tends to beat up my children.”
105.I did not respond; I was frightened because he called me with my name and said: “Malingakwenzeke.” He then asked me where I hailed from.
106.I mentioned that I was from a place called Nyoniyandiza. He said: “You are dead right because that is where I took you from.”
107.Afterwards, Preacher Mhlongo was baptized and ordained as a preacher of this church!
108.This is the question that I direct to all those who are listening to this sermon: Was the one who arrived at Mhlongo’s homestead, one night, a physical or spiritual Shembe?
109.If that was a spiritual Shembe, was he an evil spirit or a Holy Spirit?
110. Do not address this question on the basis of your own religious dogma because this is an assignment!
May the Father bless the reading of His Word.
