129. Sustaining
Posted 7-24-2019
Hello!
Two years ago I was asked by my Heavenly Mother to ask for your sustaining and support as Raphael, the only one through whom revelation comes to the Church of the Firstborn. She has asked me to ask this of you again. Please read, ponder and pray about this post, and write me if you are in agreement. For those who support me, I have been told to give you a new password and login, and continue sending to you my posts like I have these past two years. For those who do not write, or do not support me, you will no longer have access to my posts.
Thank you for whatever you decide! I love each of you and respect your decisions. I am always open to receive your emails at my same email address.
Warmly,
R
P.S. The pictures in this post are from a hike we took yesterday with two of our grandchildren up Payson Canyon. Enjoy!

A. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 17, 2019, Wednesday (continued)
1. Evening–I came again to the outcropping tonight. I had used my gift of shining the light from Heavenly Mother on three people today–my wife, my daughter, and someone who wrote me for help. I did not mention anything. My wife never did have further problems and I don't know how the other two individuals faired. I feel very blessed to have received this gift!
2. I knelt on the outcropping and faced again towards the temple in the distance. I prayed for Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother to come. I waited. Heavenly Mother came to me tonight, coming from the waterfall area! She was beaming with light and smiling broadly. She spoke to me from her directed thoughts to my unconscious mind: 'Raphael, you live in an affluent society, with great abundance of food and most every physical need you may desire. You have plenty of money and open time. You are blessed to be able to pray to us morning and night, for long periods without worry about work you may need done. This is an ideal time for you to receive our word and to write it all down in your web posts. We are pleased with your efforts to index your posts. This will make all of your posts available to our faithful who study your words.
3. There will be a time in the future when you will not be able to publish your web posts regularly. However, we will continue to bless you with revelations that you will record in your journals. These will later be transcribed and made available to our open and sincere believers who seek us, their Gods.
4. We want you to amass a goodly number of journals in which to write. You now record in these at a rate of about one journal per month. You should acquire two and a half years worth of journals, or about 30 journals. These will be available to you when you will not be able to purchase journals. Make sure you also have enough pens for that same period. Then when the time comes that you cannot buy, you will be able to continue writing in your journals our revelations.
5. You may also want to evaluate your food supply and other needful things you will need during such a prolonged time when you cannot buy. You will be able to trade and share with your neighbors and people in your community. Life will come to this: if you haven't stored it, or produce it, you won't be able to have it unless you trade and share. However difficult this may seem now, it will be the path required to forge our people and gather the elect. There will be ways that the wicked are destroyed and the righteous and faithful are preserved. We will use you and our holy mortal angels and servants in this great time of transition. Your work for us will continue to be predominantly in the celestial realms on the earth, in acting as our servants in helping us manage our great latter-day work of gathering, blessing, protecting and teaching our elect. We want each of you to prepare yourselves physically with your necessities so you may be free enough in the spiritual realms to be our servants and leaders.
6. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words! I will evaluate and prepare soon what I need for our family. I particularly want to be able to live off our land and stored items. I promised to her to keep her and Heavenly Father's commandments in all things. I closed my prayer and got ready for bed.
B. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 18, 2019, Thursday
1. I got up to sun streaming through my window. I love beautiful clear skies and summer days! This morning I came to the fountain of living water. I knelt facing the nearby temple, from the south side of the fountain, with the fountain behind me. I asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come.
2. I then saw the temple doors on the north of the temple were open. I next heard a voice within me to stand and walk to the temple. I therefore stood and walked, past the golden altar and then to the open temple doors.
3. As I walked past the golden altar, I saw that incense was burning there with the prayers of the saints. The prayers seemed more urgent, like I had seen in my post 107G4 to 107G9. I also remembered that on Pioneer day, 7/24/2016, almost three years ago, when I had seen that the angel of God burned incense with the prayers of the saints. (see post 27B5 comment). I then read these posts and then came back to my direction to go into the open temple doors in front of me.
4. I walked next to the large doors of the temple. As I arrived, both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were standing there, dressed in their regal gold-trimmed robes! They looked like there was urgency in their thoughts. I knelt before them just outside the temple doors on the stone pavement.
5. Heavenly Father was serious looking. He spoke to me: 'Raphael, as you came to us you passed by the golden altar that was burning incense and also contained the urgent prayers of the saints. The saints are all those elect who are living on the earth and are very concerned with their own safety and salvation. They are praying for themselves and loved ones who are in trouble and great need. They are praying to me and some also are praying to Jesus Christ, and a few to your Heavenly Mother. All of their prayers are requests for protection, guidance and deliverance. The saints include but are not limited to members of the Latter-day Saint Church. All of our elect children are praying to us in their hearts, seeking for our guidance in their lives.
6. I had spoken to you last January 13 (see post 107G5) and said that the prayers of the elect would increase because greater calamities will be unleashed upon the wicked. These prayers are combined with the incense at the altar. You had seen in January 2019 that these prayers were colored red, showing these prayers are much more urgent, at the peak of the time of greatest calamities (107G7). The time is soon at hand!'
7. My Heavenly Mother, who was at the left side of Heavenly Father, then spoke:
'Raphael, the prayers of the saints will become much more red when our elect find themselves in great calamity. We will answer every sincere prayer of our elect! At this time of greatest need, we will send forth our angels to answer many of the prayers of our obedient and petitioning children. Our angels will come from celestial realms of glory with our specific instructions on how we wish to answer the prayers of our faithful. Our angels will carry forth our Holy Spirit, and also my intense light of the Holy Ghost, to comfort and bless our petitioning children, and to answer their prayers. Some will know an angel of God came to them, but most will just know that God answered their prayers and will feel our peace and comfort.
8. Raphael, tell our mortal angels and our servants who labor for us in the celestial realms to prepare every last minute needful thing. We wish them not to be so distressed in their own calamity that this takes away from their service to us in their replicated states in our celestial realms on the earth. If they are too distressed in their own mortal life, they will not be able to help and serve their fellow man as well as our messengers of light.'
9. My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then smiled upon me and I felt comforted! I don't know what or how soon these calamities will happen, but I do know we should prepare every needful thing to be ready.
10. My prayer then ended, and I was back in my chair writing all of this down. I thanked my Heavenly Parents and closed my prayer.
11. Evening–Tonight I came to the celestial orb. I began thinking how the shining of Heavenly Mother's intense light of the Holy Ghost on the earth by the angels was progressing? I wondered if this was part of the gift I received from Heavenly Mother to shine forth her light to others to help them heal?
Anyway, I came to Heavenly Mother's lower garden, just east of the riverbank next to God's temple, and there I prayed. It was dusk, and the sun seemed to already be set on the celestial world. I asked if one or both of my Heavenly Parents would come to me.
12. My Heavenly Mother then appeared to me and spoke: 'Raphael, you and our holy angels have been diligent since April 25, 2019 in daily transmitting my intense light of the Holy Ghost to help rid the land of the pollution. You and our other angels have worked tirelessly every day in this effort except the Sabbath, for that is the day of rest, even for our angels in such a labor. You have completed about 40% of the earth's surface so far. At this same rate, you should be completed in November 2019.
13. The gift I gave you two days ago with the ability to shine my Holy Ghost upon my children when you ask of me is not related to the labor of your and the angels in clearing pollution from the land. My light may not only heal the land, but also heal my children.'
14. I closed my prayer, after thanking her for the many abundant blessing and answers she and my Heavenly Father continue to pour out upon me!
1. I awoke after a good night's sleep. I came to the upper path past the lookout area and just before entering the fir forest, overlooking the green field and green hill. I could see the temple of God in the distance to the southeast. I stepped off the path into the side so as not to pray on the path. I knelt and prayed to God, asking for one or both to come to me. I waited.
2. Heavenly Father then came to me, briskly walking down the path from the forest area! He appeared like he was on a morning walk through his creations. He stopped right in front of me, faced me and spoke to me:
3. 'Raphael, our strange work and strange act we are doing in these last days on earth has no precedence in our dealings with mankind on the earth. Therefore, all the many guesses of our children of how we will do our great work are misguided, for they think from their own perspective and from what they have read in the scriptures and in the historical records.
4. The great events leading to the second coming are in the spiritual realms of the earth. We are doing our work not through mortal prophets, but through celestial and terrestrial servants and angels. The work of spiritually gathering and protecting our elect will be done in higher spiritual realms rather than on the telestial sphere of the earth. Mankind will not see much of what we do, for we are orchestrating our great work behind the scenes and in secret. They will see the effects of our workings in these spiritual realms, but they will not see what we actually do through our many servants who labor in celestial and terrestrial spheres for the salvation of our elect. For those who only see in the telestial plane, it will look like God does not exist but that man is in control of the destiny of planet earth. The telestial cannot see into the higher, for the higher realms are not visible or understandable to them. However, for the humble and prayerful elect who live in your telestial world, they will know we are near, for they feel connected to their own higher spiritual selves. They have interactions with us their Gods and our servants we send to them to bless, protect and instruct them. They act in faith with a strong desire to believe and trust in their own inner self, and not the natural man or woman this is part of their mortal existence.
5. 1 Corinthians 2:10-12,14–"But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so, the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
...But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
Yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing–unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed."
Mosiah 3:19–"For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him even as a child doth submit to his father."
6. Raphael, we therefore select among our many children who populate your earth, a few who are sensitive to their inner spiritual selves, and also put off their natural man, or their telestial perceptions and desires of the flesh. As these humble themselves before us, and exercise faith in us, we will reveal ourselves to their inner soul, and speak to their spirits. If they hear us, we will gently guide them to all truth. They need to humbly and openly accept us, and follow our guidance if they are to receive more. These are our elect that we have chosen out of the world, for they hear our words and keep our commandments. These and their posterity we will bring into a higher terrestrial world of peace and happiness, where the enmity of man and beasts also will cease.
7. Our ways are spoken to the unconscious mind of man.
Isaiah 30:21–"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."
Isaiah 55:8-9–"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
8. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."'
9. Heavenly Father then smiled, and reached his hand to me, and spoke: 'Raphael, please join me on my morning walk!'
10. I took his hand and stood. We then briskly walked down the path towards the overlook and the green field to our west. I somehow saw us both depart and vanish in the fog. I didn't know consciously what we discussed, but I believe it was about God's workings to be done among his elect in our last days.
I closed my prayer and started my new day.
1. Last night I prayed in bed for it was late and I was very tired. In my prayer last night I came to the circling waters on the celestial orb. I was observing myself from the outcropping somehow, a few feet away. I was surprised to see my replicated self come in brightness and glory, even to light up the surrounding area! I saw myself kneeling at the shore and then my Heavenly Mother coming in bright glory to me on the circling waters. I had asked if I could come in prayer in the morning, since on earth I was very tired and it was late. Heavenly Mother smiled and responded: 'Raphael, come here in the morning and I will appear to you, elevated in the air over these circling waters! Come when you are well rested!'
2. She then faded quickly from my view. I don't know if this prayer was real or my imagination, but I felt satisfied and went right to sleep.
3. I am awake now after a good sleep. I feel refreshed and ready to now connect to my Heavenly Mother again! I came to the circling waters in Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I drank of living water from my cupped hand. I then knelt and faced the water. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come.
4. Heavenly Mother then appeared from the sky above me that opened up! She slowly descended and came before me in great light and splendor! I was so pleased and excited to have her come to me again.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you received an email from a woman named Tania who had questions about her own health issues. She wrote yesterday that she believes she is a healing angel. She is correct, for I have witnessed to her that she is! I would like you to send to her some of your early email links so that she may start reading your early posts. Don't send her later posts until she has read and accepted earlier ones.
5. When someone like Tania writes you, pray about him/ her and if you receive my assurance that they should receive your posts, divide the many posts to send to them in this way:
First group-posts 1-14
Second group-posts 15-20
Third group-posts 21-28
Fourth group-posts 29-35
Fifth group-posts 36-42
Sixth group-posts 43-50
Seventh group-posts 51-52
Eighth group-posts 53-59
Ninth group-posts 60-69
Tenth group-posts 70-79
Eleventh group-posts 80-89
Twelfth group-posts 90-99
7. At this time, if they continue to accept your posts as from us, their God, give them a login to your website with full access to your current emails and posts.
8. Raphael, by dividing up the first 99 posts into twelve groups, before you give any new members on your list the full access to your revelations through you, we will test and try our new angels or celestial servants who write you and want access to our revelations. We will confirm to him/her at the end of each post whether you have written the truth, even as you have asked them to do each time. If they persist and receive our confirmations, then after the first 99 posts, you will give them full access to your later posts.
9. At that time, instruct them to read sequentially your posts from post 100 to the current post, asking for confirmation from us each time like you do to the others on your email list. We will in this way gradually lead them, even as we have lead you and the others on your email list.
10. There are some who currently receive your emails that no longer read these. We desire that they no longer receive your emails nor have access to our revelations unless they confirm to you that they are reading them and still sustain you as the only one through whom revelation to the Church of the Firstborn comes. If they ask of me, I will confirm to them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, that these are truly our revelations to you and are true.
11. They need then to write to you and tell you that they sustain you as Raphael, our archangel of God who helps in doing our great latter-day work, and they sustain you as our prophet for the Church of the Firstborn. If they do this, then continue sending to them your future posts from post 130 and forward. Ask them to do this in order to receive further revelations through you in your email to them with this post 129. For those who sustain you, give them a new password and eliminate access to the others. Do this by the start of your post 130 that you send out. Only those who sustain you and receive our revelations through you will be able to receive further posts from you.
13. For those who no longer sustain you, and are still mortal angels, they will still work for us in the celestial realms on the earth in their unconscious minds. However, consciously they will no longer have connection with their actions in the celestial realms, nor have clear access to their unconscious minds as they may have had in the past.
14. If any of these who may not notify you that they sustain you and wish to continue to receive your posts by email, but later sustain you and believe we will accept them again and let you know to send them again our revelations in your posts. We love each one very much but require them to sustain you and let you know personally of their choice.
15. Raphael, your email list will decrease after this latest sustaining from our faithful mortal angels and servants. Even if there are only a few who sustain you, we wish you to proceed with your posts and our revelations as you have in the past. Those who sustain you will be blessed greatly for their support in their personal mortal lives, and receive my presence, even of the Holy Ghost, in my fullness.
16. Last night in your prayer here at the circling waters, you were surprised to see yourself in the brightness of our glory that shines through you as our archangel of light. This is what I mean by the fulness of my presence, even of my Holy Ghost. Those who sustain you will likewise see themselves in the future as filled with my intense light of the Holy Ghost, even in my fullness. Those who do not believe or sustain you will not receive of my fullness in the flesh as you saw yourself last night.'
17. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her very specific directions to me this morning. I will act as she has inspired me. I feel confirmed in my heart and mind that what I have received from her is true, and from her my Heavenly Mother.
18. She then departed as she did last night and was soon gone from my presence. I thanked her for her revelations today and ended my prayer.
19. Evening–I enjoyed talking to my sister on the phone today. She told me she sustained me as the only one through whom revelation to the Church of the Firstborn comes. I felt a little awkward asking this, but it was strictly Heavenly Mother, not myself that requires it. I think it is very timely too since it has been two years ago in July that I was instructed to do this before, which trimmed down my email list to 15 individuals now. We will see how many responses I get this time.

21. I don't seek this position at all, but I will humbly submit my labor and obedience to whatever my Heavenly Parents direct.
22. I also felt that what Heavenly Mother spoke to me and what I wrote is from God and not me. I would not have been so bold to dream any of this up! It is my inclination to live a quiet life, void of fanfare or in the limelight, or in charge of anything except my own life and family. It is still a wonder to me that I have been chosen by God to act in the role of Raphael!
23. I came to the water's edge to pray. I knelt on the shore and asked for my Heavenly Parents, or one, to come to me. While waiting, I felt a hand on my right shoulder. I turned to my right side and saw Heavenly Father smiling next to me. He was full of light and very majestic! I told him I was so honored that he came in answer to my prayer tonight.
24. Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, we have chosen you and have called you to be our prophet and archangel in the celestial realms in these last days! You have a critical role as the one who will establish the Church of the Firstborn on the earth prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ! You will then function as the only one who performs the ordinance of the waters of separation for every one of those who enters into this church except for yourself. You will labor with your brother, Oriphiel, in this entry ordinance. The other holy angels will then administer all the other ordinances of the New Jerusalem temple for our elect of God.
25. We wish each of our elect to sustain you as the only one through whom revelation comes to the Church of the Firstborn until Jesus Christ himself comes as King of Kings and Lord of Lords in the clouds of heaven. He will then take over this role in the Church of the Firstborn and you will be in charge of the ordinances in the celestial New Jerusalem temple. You will no longer be sustained as the prophet and presiding high priest in the Church of the Firstborn, for that role on earth will be transferred to Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. Your leadership role will primarily be during these transition times between your telestial world and the terrestrial world of the millennium, and in establishing the celestial realms on the physical earth at the New Jerusalem.'
26. Heavenly Father looked at me with his piercing yet loving eternity eyes! He could see right through me! I bowed my head in submission to his will. I thanked him in my mind for his confirming words to all that my Heavenly Mother had told me this morning.
27. Heavenly Father then gradually faded away and was gone from my presence. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ and got ready for bed.
1. Today promises to be a quiet day–hurray! We have been working hard and doing lots of things each day. I feel very much alive and active.
2. I felt to go to the white gate this morning. I walked up to the gate from the grassy area from the south and the gate opened up to me! I entered and then immediately knelt inside the gate. I could see the strait and narrow path before me and even the distant tree of life to the north. Jesus Christ then appeared on my left side and shut the gate. He then came right in front of me and looked upon me with his very compassionate and loving eternity eyes! Oh, I love looking into his eternity eyes!
3. He placed his right hand on my left shoulder and spoke to me: 'Raphael, you are acting as an Elias to prepare the way for my coming to the earth. Even as John the Baptist was a forerunner to my first coming, even so will you be a forerunner to my second coming in glory. You will prepare the way before me by establishing the New Jerusalem and the Church of the Firstborn both to be specifically established for my faithful elect whom I have and will choose as heirs of my kingdom, even of the celestial. Your work as my archangel in these last days is in the celestial realms, and not in the telestial or terrestrial. There are others who will prepare the way before me in those realms of glory.
4. When I come in my glory, I will come in great celestial glory to the inhabitants of the earth. At that time, the wicked, who are of the telestial will die, but I will quicken the terrestrial to be able to withstand my glory, so that they may transition into the terrestrial millennial day. I will take up my residence in the New Jerusalem that you will begin to build.
5. Raphael, your Father told you last night that your mission is one of transitioning from your telestial world to the terrestrial and to establish the celestial on the earth. Your Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother will guide you continually in your great mission. I have redeemed you, and you are clean before me. You will act in our authority and power. You will lead our holy angels in the wonderful work they do in the celestial realms of the earth.
6. Remember, all of our holy angels who will have worked so diligently in the celestial realms of glory to prepare the way for my coming, will then descend with me in great celestial glory as I come in the clouds of heaven to the earth.
7. D&C 45:44
"And then they shall look for me, and, behold, I will come; and they shall see me in the clouds of heaven, clothed with power and great glory; with all the holy angels; and he that watches not for me shall be cut off."
8. Raphael, even as you were quickened to our celestial glory in your energy class in April 2013 in order to see us, your Gods, even so will all the terrestrial on the earth in mortality and in the spirit world be quickened to a celestial glory in order to see my coming. My faithful elect will join me in the clouds of heaven, in the celestial realms as we descend together to our new earth. The wicked, who are of the telestial, will see me in glory but will not be quickened to the celestial, and will not survive the great day of my coming in glory to the earth. They will die and be placed in prison in the world of the spirits, awaiting their resurrection at the end of the millennium.

10. You now feel weak and not up to this great mission. However, we will strengthen you and those who assist you so that you may fulfill our every desire for you! Trust in God, and you will serve well beyond your own ability, for we will buoy you up to fulfill all of your glorious mission!'
11. I bowed my head in reverence to my great Redeemer. I spoke: 'My Savior, Jesus Christ, I accept your great commission that you and my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother have given me! I feel very inadequate, but I have faith that I will be strengthened to meet the demands of my calling. I ask you to cleanse and strengthen the angels and celestial servants to also step up to their great callings in the celestial realms where all of our work will be done. Oh, we love you, our Savior Jesus Christ! We will be true and faithful!'
12. Jesus smiled upon me and pulled me up off my knees. He embraced and kissed me! I felt his deep love for all of God's children. I knew he had suffered and died for each one!
13. He then loosened his embrace, and with his right arm around my shoulders, pointed with his other arm towards the path and the distant tree of life.
He spoke: 'Raphael, your Father and Mother await you at the tree of life! Go now to meet them.'
14. I thanked Jesus Christ for his truths and revelations he gave to me today, and for his redemption for me. I then turned and started on the path, the strait and narrow path that leads to the tree of life, or symbolically, to eternal life and exaltation.
15. I walked quickly on the path, with my right hand on the rod of iron. I soon came to the tree of life, and saw my glorious Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother standing near the trunk of that beautiful tree, under its canopy. I walked up to them and knelt before them! I looked up into their eternity eyes and their smiling faces. I felt very filled with their love and light! Heavenly Father reached out and plucked a fruit of the tree above us and Heavenly Mother reached and plucked a leaf. I took the fruit from Heavenly Father and ate, and then took the leaf from Heavenly Mother and ate. I felt strengthened and so much more confident!
16. Heavenly Mother spoke to me: 'Raphael, when you feel weakened in your resolve, or when you need a boost to maintain your heavy workload, come here to our beautiful tree of life and eat of this fruit and leaf again. You will be then strengthened and blessed to have our confidence and Spirit. You will then be able to do all we ask of you to do!'
18. My Father then spoke: 'Raphael, this same fragrance of heavenly celestial flowers will be in the celestial gardens of the New Jerusalem that you will help us build. Many will assist you in your labors. Oh, we love you and our faithful elect!'
19. We continued walking and soon I lost connection with my unconscious self who was walking and talking with them. I came back to my mortal surroundings, writing all of this down while in my room, in my morning prayer.
20. The words of my Heavenly Mother then came into my mind very clearly. 'Raphael, when this journal entry is typed up, prepare to send this as post 129. For those who accept and support you as the only one on earth who is to receive our revelations for the Church of the Firstborn, and who write you this, then continue sending to them your future posts. For those who do not write you, or do not support us in this request, then remove their names from your email list and remove their login privileges. They will then no longer be part of this great work in their conscious minds on earth, but will continue in their unconscious minds in our celestial realms on the earth, even as we may direct them. There will be great blessings for those who believe our words through you in the flesh, and who support and sustain you!'
21. I replied that I would do as she and my Heavenly Father directed me to do. I then closed my prayer and started my Sabbath day.
