Greetings, In The Name Of Our Soon Coming King Jesus Christ!!! The Gathering was birthed from what most would call a tragedy, but for me it was God fulfilling His Word. Shortly after my second son was born, in late February/early March 1997, I had a visitation from the Angel Ga-bri-el. My oldest sister is a witness to this. She had a dream and called me and asked what did the angel say? I had no idea what she was speaking of until The Angel appeared and said, I Am The Angel Ga-bri-el My response: We have been pronouncing your name wrong all these years, (we say Ga-briel). I don t remember anything after that moment, therefore I called my sister and shared with her that The Angel Ga-bri-el had come. 3
She rushed over to hear what The Angel had to say. As I professed, again and again, that I knew not what he said, I began to say ah ha ah ha (which she recalled me saying in her dream) At that time my sister could Hear The Angel Speak and Sense His Presence. He began to tell her of things to come. Suddenly she began to weep. When I asked her what was wrong, she explained that our mother was going to die and that she was trying to ask The Angel to give us more time. The Angel agreed to more time and gave us a sign that our mother s cousin would pass away soon. Eager to see The Angel again, I turned a looked over my right shoulder and saw A Whirlwind and In The Whirlwind I could hear our names, from the eldest to the youngest sibling. Then The LORD Answered Job Out of The Whirlwind Then Answered The LORD Unto Job Out of The Whirlwind Job 38/1, 40/6 4
I saw one of my sister s husband fly out and I knew he would not be a partaker of the blessing. I also wondered where my children were, when I saw them with their dad one on each side, I knew they were okay. At the time I had no idea that A Whirlwind in our lives was set in motion and all which The Angel Ga-bri-el would speak, would come to pass. After all Ga-bri-el appeared unto Zecharias, the father of John the Baptist And the angel answering said unto him, I Am Ga-bri-el, That Stand In The Presence of God, And Am Sent To Speak Unto Thee, And To Shew Thee These Glad Tidings. Luke 1/19 A Times Time and A Half Would Pass Before The Gathering Would Come Forth. 5
Then on January 3, 2002, I received word that our loving mother had a stroke. While most of the siblings rushed to her side, I was led of God to stay at home with my family and pray. (Another sister also joined with me long distance (she resided on the east coast) in praying day and night for our precious mom.) As I lay upon my bed praying to Our Heavenly Father, I Asked God, What Happened To Mom? And I fell asleep and dreamed this dream. I Saw Our Mother Standing in Paradise With Jesus!!! Her flesh was on the ground and I remember Jesus saying No Flesh Can Stand Before Me. Then I Heard Jesus Ask My Mother This Question: What Have You ve Done, With What I Gave You? Immediately My Mother Began To Answer: And This Is What I Have Done With (She began to name each one of her children) 6
As She Called Each One Of Her Children By Name Jesus Responded And This Is (He Would Insert Our Name) REWARD! Afterwards mom asked God if she could return because I did not understand my purpose and she wanted to see her, only, son take a wife. Jesus Granted Her Request When I awakened I was led to my computer where The Word of God Began To Pour Out of Me Like New Wine. Over the years I have come to understand my purpose which I also found to be my passion. As I Have Been Given This Prophetic Revelation I Present It Unto You 7
The Lord Is Gathering His Flock To Present To His Father 8
Angél:2 nd C Is Commissioned To Proclaim The Second Coming of Christ. This Gathering has been prepared for believers to use in their homes or with a small bible study or cell group in accordance with the establishment of the Early Church. You will find Early Home Churches established by Cornelius in Acts 10; Pricilla and Aquila in Romans 16 and 1 Corinthians 16; along with Nymphas in Colossians 4 and Apphia and Archippus in Philemon 2. The Gathering Collection includes The Gathering, Jesus, The Son of Man, The Gathering of His Flock, The Invitation, and The Outpouring for The Preparation of The Saints of God To Be Ready For The Presentation of Our Bodies Holy And Acceptable Unto God That We May Receive The Promise of Eternal Life. 9
The Gathering Introduces The Good Shepherd of The Flock As He Begins The Gathering of The Final Harvest. While Hearlding The Cry, This Night, Thy Soul Shall Be Required Of Thee From Which He Asks The Question, What Have You ve Done, With What I ve Given You? Leading To Jesus, Presents His Flock To His Father. Jesus, The Son of Man, & The Gathering of His Flock introduce The Preparation of the Saints. Preparation begins with Salvation. We enter into His Gates (via Salvation) with Thanksgiving and into His Courts with Praise. Picture The Tabernacle of God. As we enter into His Gates we have left the world of sin and entered a saved life. Saved from Sin. We are Thankful to God for sending his Only Begotten Son and to Jesus The Christ for dying on Calvary and saving us from our sins, redeeming us to The Father. After our Salvation we must proceed or move forward into The Outer Court where we become Purified and Meet for The Master s Use. We must go through this process in order to enter into The Inner Court for The Presentation (The Invitation) and finally Behind The Veil into The Holy of Holies to Receive The Promise (The Outpouring) and Step into Eternal Life. 10

Blessed Be The God And Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath Blessed us With all Spiritual Blessings In Heavenly Places in Christ: According as he hath Chosen Us In Him Before the Foundation of the World, That we should Be Holy And Without Blame before Him in Love: Having Predestinated Us Unto the adoption of children By Jesus Christ to himself, According to the Good Pleasure Of His Will, To The Praise of The Glory Of His Grace, 12
Wherein he hath made us accepted In The Beloved: In whom we have Redemption Through His Blood, The Forgiveness of Sins, According to The Riches of His Grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us In All Wisdom and Prudence; Having made known unto us The Mystery of His Will, According to His Good Pleasure Which he hath purposed in Himself: That in The Dispensation of The Fullness of Times He might Gather Together in One All Things in Christ, 13
Both which are in Heaven, And which are on Earth, Even in Him: In whom also We Have Obtain An Inheritance, Being Predestinated According to The Purpose of Him Who Worketh All Things After The Counsel Of His Own Will: That we should be To The Praise of His Glory, Who First Trusted in Christ: In whom ye also trusted, 14
After that ye heard The Word of Truth, The Gospel of Your Salvation: In whom also after that Ye Believed, Ye were Sealed With that Holy Spirit of Promise, Which is The Earnest of Our Inheritance, Until The Redemption Of The Purchased Possession, Unto The Praise of His Glory. Ephesians 1/3-14 15

He Shall Feed His Flock Like A Shepherd: He Shall Gather The Lambs With His Arm, And Carry Them In His Bosom, And Shall Gently Lead Those That Are With Young. Isaiah 40/11 17
The Good Shepherd Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. Verily, verily, I say unto you, I Am The Door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I Am The Door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I Am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 18
I Am The Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd Giveth His Life For The Sheep. But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I Am The Good Shepherd, And Know My Sheep, And Am Known Of Mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I The Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And Other Sheep I Have, Which Are Not Of This Fold: Them Also I Must Bring, And They Shall Hear My Voice; And There Shall Be One Fold, And One Shepherd. 19
Therefore doth My Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father. I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in My Father s name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My Sheep Hear My Voice, And I Know Them, And They Follow Me: And I give unto them Eternal Life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father s hand. I And My Father Are One. John 10/1-30 Red Letter Words of Jesus 20
