Designer Genes
His Word has come down through the age s; ste adfast in love it
is sure .
Me n by de gre e s and stage s have come to Him in sin for the
cure .
Commissions He gave through the page s
And the prophe ts would cry from the shore s.
To this day the same battle rage s, e te rnal life is the stake s in
the war,
Stake s in the war
The Lord always warne d of the dange r, for you He may not
come anymore .
Last chance to re ce ive your savior, how many time s He ’s calle d
be fore .
He come s in His love not His ange r and calls through the cross
to the world.
No one ne e d be a strange r; you could come and be a son to the
Lord
Daughte r of the Lord
Chorus:
But the y se e nothing and the ir he arts ne ve r change
(The y) re fuse to ope n up the door
The y he ar nothing as the y’re locke d up in chains
In fact the y harde n the ir he arts a little more and the n the y
throw
Anothe r lock on the door, lock on the door.
Don’t turn away from the savior who calle d in love to life
e ve rmore
The one born in a mange r, ye s He knows what it’s like in the
world
He knows you, He ’s no strange r, and forgive ne ss from Him is
the cure
You can le t the battle rage he re for the world won’t be your
home anymore .
Chorus 2:
So if you se e some thing and your he art wants a change
Just choose to ope n up the door
If you he ar some thing and you’re tire d of the chains
Don’t harde n your he art anymore , maybe unlock the lock on
the door
Lock on the door.

FOREWORD
An author, a finishe r
A ple a in he art
With wisdom planne d
We will stand
A place of re pe ntance
A will towards conte ntme nt
What gifts to acclaim our right?
Whe n powe r transfe rs to might
A characte r he art
An inne r plan
Who e lse can claim the man
To e nsure a place
Amongst a ne w face
Pre se nting wisdom to the right
We stumble in darkne ss
We stand and fight
A man’s journe y for a goal
What can we finish
What game can we play?
What will make a pure he art stay?
We claim we know
We claim to stand
Whe n we de stroy a common land
He arts are wrought
We don’t know why
A force that’s right
Change d to might
The privile ge is up to man.

And what did Maharishi procure for? The Vedic gods. He sold
us a meaningless word that was supposed to guide our minds
to transcend superficial consciousness. Later we learned those
meaningless words, our mantras, were names of deities. He
taught us advanced techniques with the Sanskrit word
“namah” at their core: “I bow down.” Mantra meditation is a
form of paying worship to those who call themselves gods.
When you scrape away all the fancy and misleading
explanations—like “meaningless sounds” and “impulses of
creative intelligence,” what you get very simply is people with
their eyes closed bowing down in their minds to an assigned
Hindu deity. 12

He ar, O Israe l! The Lord is our God; the Lord is one ! You shall
love the Lord your God with all your he art and with all your
T
soul and with all your might (Deuteronomy 6:4-5 NASB).
Childre n, obe y your pare nts in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor
your fathe r and mothe r,” which is the first commandme nt with
promise : “that it may be we ll with you and you may live long on
the e arth” (Ephesians 6:1-3 NKJV).
Speaking Against
Disobeying
Jesus said, “If ye love Me, keep My
commandments” (John 14:15). The antithesis is
that those who disobey don’t love or honor.
Jesus honored the Father when He said, “The
Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is
something He sees the Father doing” (John 5:19
NASB). He added, “I have glorified You down here
on the earth by completing the work that You gave
Me to do” (John 17:4 AMP). When we do what
God asks us, we glorify Him. If we disobey as
Eli’s sons did, we are despising Him (see 1 Sam.
2:29-30).
When we don’t want to obey, we often use
sacrifice as a substitute for obedience. Samuel
asked, “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt
offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of
the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice”
(1 Sam. 15:22). Disobedience demonstrates
independence and is dishonoring to those in
authority over us.
Most of our “better way” substitutes interfere
with the intentions of God. The Lord would not
allow an exchange made for the animal tithes.
The tither
…must not pick out the good from the bad or make any
substitution. If he doe s make a substitution, both the animal
and its substitute be come holy and cannot be re de e me d
(Leviticus 27:33 NIV).

That is why, in the flesh, J. we cannot

flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who
loved me, and gave Himself for me” (Gal. 2:20).
God said that
this shall be the cove nant that I will make …I will put My law in
the ir inward parts, and write it on the ir he arts…and the y shall
te ach no more …saying, Know the Lord: for the y shall all know
Me (Jeremiah 31:33-34).

In tithe s and offe rings. You are curse d with a curse , for you are

No Spirit; no profit.

Dishonesty
Lying
Lack of Integrity
Stealing
Cheating
Exaggerating
Lack of trust in God
“The Lord your God will set you high above all
the nations of the earth” (Deut. 28:1 NASB). God
wants to put us into a place of authority. He has
“made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall
reign on the earth” (Rev. 5:10 NKJV). Don’t worry
about what you go through. Jesus said,
Ble sse d are you whe n me n hate you, and whe n the y e xclude
you, and re vile you, and cast out your name as e vil, for the Son
of Man’s sake . Re joice in that day and le ap for joy! For inde e d
your re ward is gre at in he ave n, for in like manne r the ir fathe rs
did to the prophe ts (Luke 6:22-23 NKJV).
Do not forge t to e nte rtain strange rs, for by so doing some have
unwittingly e nte rtaine d ange ls (Hebrews 13:2 NKJV).
Re joice in the Lord your God: for He hath give n you the forme r
rain mode rate ly and He will cause to come down for you the
rain, the forme r rain, and the latte r rain (Joel 2:23).
You know that the rule rs of the Ge ntile s lord it ove r the m, and
the ir gre at me n e xe rcise authority ove r the m. It is not this way
among you, but whoe ve r wishe s to be come gre at among you
shall be your se rvant, and whoe ve r wishe s to be first among
you shall be your slave ; just as the Son of Man did not come to
be se rve d, but to se rve , and to give His life a ransom for many
(Matthew 20:25-28 NASB).
I declare that “the Lord will make [me] the he ad and not the
tail, and [I] only will be above , and [I] will not be unde rne ath,
if [I] liste n to the commandme nts of the Lord [my] God”
(Deuteronomy 28:13 NASB).
Conclusion
CALL DOWN YOUR BLESSINGS
After the procedure was done, the doctor came into the
recovery room in the day ward and talked to my wife, Lynette,
who asked him what happened. He told her that he didn’t
remove the polyp, and Lynette asked him if I would have to
come back again. The doctor said that when he got to the spot
where the polyp was, to remove it, it wasn’t there. He said he
looked at the spot where the polyp had been, but it was gone,
and the area was just like it should be, smooth with no sign
that a polyp had ever been there.
We pray for you, the re ade r, that you will go afte r all that
be longs to you. We pray, in Je sus’ name , that all the gifts, the
callings, the lost inhe ritance s, the influe nce , and cre ativity that
be long to you, may pass down from the ge ne rations be fore . We
thank God that through re pe ntance and the asking of
forgive ne ss, you have re move d the blockage s to your ble ssings.
We ask for your ble ssings to ove rtake you and run you down.
We pray that you will truly de part from your sins and e nte r into
the ble ssing of the Lord.
