FROM THE DESK OF THE PATRIARCH AND PRESIDING PRELATE

 


A Message from The Patriarch and Presiding Prelate Sir Godfrey Gregg

To Members and Clergy of The Mystical Order Ministries: Making Christ the Center of Your Life This Christmas

Dearly Beloved Members and Esteemed Clergy of The Mystical Order Ministries,

As we approach this most sacred and joyous season, I greet you with the timeless words of the angels who heralded the birth of our Saviour: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." It is with profound gratitude and spiritual joy that I extend to you my warmest wishes for a blessed, joyous, and prosperous holiday season.

Christmas is more than a date on our calendar—it is the celebration of God's greatest demonstration of love to humanity. When the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, heaven touched earth, and the trajectory of human history was forever altered. In the birth of Jesus Christ, we find the embodiment of hope, the promise of salvation, and the assurance that we are never alone.

As we celebrate this glorious season, I urge each of you—both clergy and laity—to intentionally make Christ the absolute center of your life. In our modern world, it is all too easy to become distracted by the trappings of the season: shopping, the parties, the endless activities that, while not inherently wrong, can subtly displace the very One we claim to honour. We must guard our hearts and minds against allowing the secondary to overshadow the primary.

To make Christ the center of your life this Christmas is to recognize Him as Emmanuel—God with us—not just in word, but in deed. It means inviting Him into every conversation, every decision, every moment of celebration. It means creating space for worship, even amidst the busyness. It means opening your Bible and meditating on the beautiful narrative of His birth, allowing the profound mystery of the Incarnation to transform your perspective.

For our devoted clergy, I challenge you to lead by example. As shepherds of God's flock, your lives must be living testimonies of Christ-centered living. Your teachings, your service, and your personal devotion should inspire those under your care to seek deeper intimacy with the Saviour. Remember that ministry is not merely about programs and services—it is about pointing people to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.

To all our members, let this Christmas be a season of spiritual renewal and recommitment. Let us return to the simplicity of the manger, where kings and shepherds alike bowed before the newborn King. Let us embrace humility, practice generosity, extend forgiveness, and radiate the love of Christ to everyone we encounter.

As we gather with family and friends, let us not forget those who are lonely, hurting, or in need. Christ came for the marginalized, the broken, and the lost. Our celebration is incomplete if we do not extend His love to those who need it most.

May this Christmas season bring you abundant joy, divine prosperity, and a deeper revelation of God's presence in your life. May your homes be sanctuaries of peace, your hearts overflow with gratitude, and your spirits be renewed by the transforming power of Christ's love.

In His Abundant Grace, 

The Patriarch and Presiding Prelate Sir Godfrey Gregg

GEORGIA GUIDESTONES

  Visiting the Georgia Guidestones: A Mysterious Roadside Attraction By  Paul Entin   /  3.9.20 Standing alone in a field in the middle of rural Elbert County, Georgia, the Georgia Guidestones monument features six granite slabs with ten commandments. But not  the  Ten Commandments. So what is written on the Georgia Guidestones and what do they say about our global future? Read on. People wonder if the Georgia Guidestones really exist because the message inscribed on the granite monolith seems too horrific to believe. Conspiracy theorists point to its writings and its mysterious origin story as proof of a globalist plot to reduce the world population, eliminate national sovereignty, and replace individual rights with a communist dictatorship, among other plans. The Guidestones consist of four, tall, stone slabs. These slabs surround a central slab and a final slab sits on top of them all as a capstone. Slits in the center slab and capstone direct the sunlig...

THE ETERNAL WALK

  HH, Patriarch Godfrey Gregg The journey of faith is not limited to the span of our earthly years—it is a walk that stretches into eternity. For those who belong to the Lord, life is more than a fleeting moment; it is the beginning of an everlasting union with God. Our walk with Him is both present and eternal. From the beginning, God has desired fellowship with man.  “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away”  (Genesis 5:24). Enoch’s life reminds us that walking with God is not bound by earthly limitations but leads to eternal fellowship with Him. Jesus confirms this promise of eternal companionship, declaring:  “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die”  (John 11:25–26). Our walk continues beyond death, for in Christ we have eternal life. Paul describes this journey beautifully:  “For we walk by faith, not by ...

US GREAT MYSTERIES

      One of the US' greatest mysteries     Atop a desolate hill in a small US town are the Georgia Guidestones: an eerie 19ft tall granite monument with a post-apocalyptic message for the world.   By Shannon Dell 3 September 2015 The drone of the man’s oak didgeridoo reverberated off the granite. “Not that I know when Doomsday is,” he said, parting his lips from the mouthpiece and pointing toward the 19ft tall thick, grey stones a few yards from us. “But whenever it hits, this is right where I’d want to be.” I met Anthony, a hitchhiker from North Carolina, at the site of the  Georgia Guidestones , a mysterious six-piece granite monument atop a desolate hill in the small town of Elberton, Georgia. He had stopped at the site on his way to see the  Coral Castle  – another mysterious stone structure – in Homestead, Florida. I had stopped because I’m a sucker for roadside oddities. “It's no wonder this was chosen as the site for the guidestones. ...
