01:33:19,552 but has reappeared to fulfill the promise 1173 01:33:19,594 --> 01:33:22,847 of the Second Coming as a woman. 1174 01:33:22,888 --> 01:33:24,557 Our Mother Ann. 1175 01:33:24,599 -->

today, 1178 01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:40,281 you must forsake the marriage of the flesh 1179 01:33:40,323 --> 01:33:43,159 or you cannot be married to the lamb. 1180 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:45,620 We have had the power of God upon us 1181 01:33:45,661 --> 01:33:48,372 and have felt great tribulation for our sins. 1182 01:33:48,414 --> 01:33:52,293 After which we have felt great love and releasement, 1183 01:33:52,335 --> 01:33:54,462 thought ourselves converted. 1184 01:33:55,046 --> 01:33:56,922 Is not this of Jesus Christ? 1185 01:33:56,964 --> 01:33:59,884 Yes, it is my brother and husband.

01:34:07,975 --> 01:34:10,394 not because they have repented, 1190 01:34:10,436 --> 01:34:14,148 but they are intended to lead souls to repentance. 1191 01:34:15,066 --> 01:34:17,109 What is this repentance? 1192 01:34:17,151 --> 01:34:18,903 To leave off committing sin 1193 01:34:18,944 --> 01:34:21,280 is the only repentance which God accepts. 1194 01:34:21,322 --> 01:34:25,326 Short of making an honest and faithful confession 1195 01:34:25,368 --> 01:34:28,454 of all the sins ever committed in your whole life. 1196 01:34:30,873 --> 01:34:34,335 It is God alone that can forgive sins, 1197 01:34:34,377 --> 01:34:37,713 where then is the necessity of confessing them to man? 1198 01:34:37,755 --> 01:34:40,049 God has established that order for all souls 1199 01:34:40,091 --> 01:34:43,344 who have committed sins that they must confess their sins 1200 01:34:43,386 --> 01:34:45,680 before His chosen witnesses. 1201 01:34:47,223 --> 01:34:50,559 Do not be frightened, girl.
