Matenga Rebukes Witches in the City
1 One day Matenga said in her congregation , “What do you want here? To be saved or not to be saved?”
2 Then we all said, “We want to be saved.”
3 She said, “How can you be saved if there is suspicion, resentment, lust, gossip, conflict, and mutual contempt?”
4 “Whoever you see coming to the Ark there comes with their own troubles, not to nurture the City .”
5 “And all those with demons of witchcraft; but you act with hatred toward one another; yet witches have nothing good.”
6 “You used to smell human flesh, but today you have been cleansed by Jehovah .”
7 “But if you turn against me again, you have nowhere to go; you ought to be struck with awe.”
8 Matenga said, “I am not one to be trifled with by creation.”
9 The Word said, “If you continue like that, you have no place in heaven, if you do not want to be stripped of how you truly are.”
10 She said, “And this work never rests; if I were to be taken through the world and England, you would know that you have passed through.”
11 “No one came to pack their bags without knowing the laws that are forbidden throughout the earth.”
12 “They know that stealing, witchcraft, adultery, smoking, drinking, killing, and many such things are forbidden.”
13 She said, “Do you want me to point you out today, saying that you ate human flesh at the graves today?”
14 “There are many things you do, but I spare you shame, my children.”
15 “For you had come for rest, and all trouble had ended.”
16 “You had been made worthy by the Father and made into good children. Look at Deuteronomy 8:10–15 and 19–20.”
17 It is a very small thing for those who believe with all their hearts to have witchcraft removed.
18 When the witches who had witchcraft removed were shown, they were now sleeping peacefully in their houses.
19 Those ones stood up and showed themselves among the people at the Mudivi .
20 But those who still have resentment in their hearts, thinking that is their kingdom , did not stand up.
21 So let us all cry out for our sins so that Matenga might perhaps have mercy on us.
22 Forever. Amen.
