That night we gathered for the Full Moon feast. Leland told us the significance of the Full Moon in Israel. And I truly felt I had come home to the Prophet, like Jethro or Elijah of old. When we were done eating the meal we then went out and blew the Shoffars to commemorate it. Why did God pick me? I wondered.

       As I went to bed that night in Leland's living room I looked up at the beautiful chandeliers hanging above me.
I thought of a teaching Leland told me earlier, about the Gods coming down in the beginning to become Adams and Eves. As I stared at those chandeliers the first principles of the order of the Gods began to be revealed to me. And my understanding increased further then that night, than it ever had. Pure Society beyond expression! 
"Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? " John 10:34 
Oh what things are with held from the world that I cannot begin to express them.

       The next day I visited Jim, one of my new brothers in the Kingdom. He brought me into his house and showed me his extensive library. We had a good heart to heart talk and he advised me to gather to the Kingdom as soon as possible, that I might receive my blessings under the hand of the Lord. He also showed me many things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. He, like Garret, also bore many testimonies of Leland and the truthfulness of the Work.

       When I arrived home I told my wife we had to go and move to Southern Utah. I visited twice more before we got things in order to move. While I was in Orem I used that chance to warn all my friends, and preach to them the gospel with little success.
I visited Leland with my brothers Adam and Danny and also with Carolyn on the New Moon. We had a wonderful time and felt the spirit. When the moon was ready to set we went out to the I-15 Overpass to see it. We saw the tiny sliver going down over the mountains to the West of us, and the Priests blew the Shoffars. It was just like being in ancient Israel. I thank God every time I think I ever had the privilege of being there as these things unfolded.
Adam, Carolyn and I went home and we talked about the gospel the whole way home for 3 hours. When I retired to bed in Orem that night I had a Dream.

Chapter 3 

Who will believe

       In my dream, my family, followers of Leland, and myself, were traveling through some beautiful woods. We finally came to a very nice mansion, I had never seen before. I walked up the steps and gave a knock on the knocker of the door.
When the door opened standing before me was Joseph Smith. I cannot explain the feelings in my heart at that moment, I hugged him and marveled that he had golden blond hair. He invited us in and we stayed and visited for a long time. Finally he brought us out into the woods in order to do some endowment. He instructed us to sit down on the ground. Some looked at each other uncomfortably as we were wearing Temple Clothes.

       Suddenly my brother Benjamin said, "I would NEVER sit on the ground with my Temple clothes on." And he walked off, which pained my heart. Joseph then instructed us that whoever wanted their blessings would have to fight him for them. My brother Adam was the first to get up and walk forward. He and Joseph began to grapple and Brother Joseph quickly took him down to the ground. Brother Joseph reached out his hand to help Adam up, but Adam's pride was hurt more than he himself. He got up and said, "If I can't even get my blessings then I am out!" And he also walked off even though Joseph had said he could take his seat again. This pained my heart even further.

       Suddenly my brother Joseph John Shaffer without warning said, "This is bull." And walked off also. My father James C Shaffer then whispered in my ear that he didn't think this was really Joseph Smith, and that I would be wise to leave as well. Tyler one of my friends in the Kingdom spoke up and said, "Of course this is Joseph Smith." I notice my Brother Danny was sitting next to him. I turned to my father and said, "Dad, I know beyond any shadow of doubt that this is Joseph Smith Jr. I know this is the Prophet." He then left as well which pained me even worse.

       Next I got up and went to fight Brother Joseph. He smiled at me and said, "Sam why do you think you could beat me, when I just beat your brother Adam, who is stronger and better at fighting than you? I then said, “Joseph, I know you will kick my butt! But I will do anything for my blessing, for I know that you are the Prophet Joseph Smith. He then grabbed me in a hug, and said, "Sam you passed the test! Your brother did not understand that God himself will give us new Temple clothes like the ram in the thicket. And I would have given all of you your blessings weather you beat me or not.” I then asked him, “Why did my brothers have to leave?” And Joseph said, “The pride of the world.” And then we cried together.       Vision in the night, Revealed to Samuel W. Shaffer March 9th 2008

       I know this was a True Revelation for I have seen its literal fulfillment! My Brother Ben was the first to go, he could not accept the fact that blacks could not hold the Priesthood. He felt that if he admitted he was wrong in sustaining the 1978 “revelation” of the LDS Church, he would in essence be putting mud on his Temple clothes. Since he had voted to let Canaanites into the Temple. So he said he thought we were “prejudice and crazy.”
I believe his Support for Barack Hussein Obama was instrumental in this.

       Next was my Brother Adam, he said he wanted to get his endowments and blessings from Leland but he didn't want to Sacrifice anything for it. He wanted to keep his wife who did not approve of anything strange or Polygamist related. Hence he did not want to move down to Parowan or do other things but just wanted to keep her happy.
Leland said no, and Adam said, “Well if I can't get my blessings, I am out.”

       Next my Brother Joseph said, “That is Bull.” After I explained why Adam was not coming around, and that we had to sacrifice a few things.

       Last, my Father is still thinking about it. Now I don't think this is inevitable.
My Father can choose his own destiny. So we shall see what will happen. But the rest of the Dream has literally been fulfilled to the very letter. I believe this Vision was in order to let me know what their individual problems would be. And I know it was from God.

       I visited one more time with Danny who came down for the Passover. Passover was wonderful and it felt good to do the will of the Lord. There was a man visiting from the Allred group at Passover, he had decided to leave Polygamy and join the Church again. You could see the darkness around him that comes from rebelling against true principles. We had a good conversation but could not change his mind. I learned you must teach with the Spirit that both may be edified. After this Carolyn and I prepared to move to Southern Utah.

“Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” 1 Corinthians 5:7-8  

       When we got to Parowan we stayed at Jim's house for a week or so, yet I spent most of my time at Leland's.  I cannot recollect all that took place in that week, but I know I grew a lot!

       One night Jim suggested we go look up at some land in the mountains by Panguitch. We left and coming back over the mountains our car overheated over and over again. Finally it wouldn't start at all. A nice trucker and his son stopped and told us it looked like a blown head gasket. They gave us a ride to Beaver and Garret came late at night and picked us up from the Truck Stop there. The next day Leland and Tyler hitched up the car trailer and we all headed out to get our car up on the mountain. I was amazed at the helping hand and efficiency of it. We got the car and began to tow it back to Parowan.
As we came to the overpass back onto I-15 we saw a trucker with his load lopsided and falling over, on the side of the road. Leland began to pull over and I asked what we were doing. Leland said "Helping this guy out!" The man who was carrying 75lb cement buckets was almost in tears, as it was his weekend and the only time he could see his wife. He was thus far trying to re-stack them by hand, one by one, which would have taken him all night and into the next day. We got up there and began helping, he thanked us profusely but we said, “No problem!” Finally Leland smiled and said "I have got an idea, and if you listen to my words I promise you in the name of Jesus Christ it will work."

He then said "get all this webbing and feed them through these ratchets on the side of the bed." So we did, he then said, "Throw them over the (lopsided) load and feed them through the loops on the other side." "Now," he said, "Throw them back over and tie them to this board.” We did so and then he instructed us, "Tie this rope to the board and to the loops on this side as he stepped in and showed us how to tie them."  
I was totally confused and so was the trucker, but Tyler and Garret knew better, they knew to follow the Prophet when he spoke. Finally Leland said, "Now tighten it down." Garret and Tyler began to, and the whole load lifted up and just literally fell back into place! I couldn't believe my eyes. It didn't fall over the other way or anything, it was a miracle! Every last bucket fell into place.  (Note: From Leland i.e. the Parowan Prophet: I don't remember that occurance and what really happened as Samm has stated it. Garrett and Tyler stacked the 5 gallon buckets for about
45 minutes before we had the boards and ropes ready to pull and shift the load. Those buckets didn't fly up themselves, we all pulled the ropes "Hard as hell" to get it done.)

       The Trucker was speechless and so was I. It was like when Christ told his disciples to move the stone from off the grave in John 11. And once they put forth a little effort they were shown mighty works. The Trucker thanked us over and over again. We told him not to thank us but to thank our God, The God of Israel. We gave him a flier and he promised never to forget us. He then went on his way after re-tying down his load. As we drove away Leland turned to me and said, "That's what we are doing, blessing people's lives."
I never felt so good about an act of service as I did that night.

       My little brother Danny came down and got baptized as well. Leland gave me the Aaronic priesthood, that I might perform the baptism. For he explained, this is a Patriarchal work, and every family unit is to stand on its own feet. During meeting I sat in front of the Prophet again. He laid his hands upon me, and Conferred the Priesthood of Aaron on my head. During that blessing he said that I would use my Priesthood for the offering up of Sacrifices, and that I would be if faithful one of those sons of Levi to offer up an offering in righteousness. He also blessed me that I would bring thousands into the Kingdom through my preaching. He sealed these blessings, and many others upon my head, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. In that moment I felt my body fill with power,
it was as if I had on my temple robes, only spiritually. I cannot express the feeling but I can tell you this, I had never felt so full of the Priesthood in all my life. I knew at that moment that I held more Priesthood than I had ever dreamed of in the Church. After this I was ordained to the office of Priest by Garrett.

       I brought Danny down into the waters of baptism in the same place I was baptized. He came up out of the water, and Leland confirmed him when we got back to the house. Danny was excited. In that meeting Leland told Danny he had better get a job or he would be sent back. Which did eventually happen. But luckily he is back with us now, in 2009.

       After a time an old friend John had read a testimony I had sent him. He and his brother being interested came down to meet the Prophet. We talked about the latter days and the coming of the one mighty and strong prophesied by Joseph and Brigham for a good part of the night. The next day they went and met the Prophet. They spent two straight days talking to him. When I came back from work I could see a change on their faces. Leland had answered every last one of their questions before they asked them. 
       Many miracles happened in those few days as well. John and Matt asked to be baptized. Leland performed the ordinance on both accounts. When John came up out of the water the most miraculous thing happened. The spirit fell strait way upon him as he came up out of the water like tongues of fire, just as in ancient times. He hugged Leland and began to cry and speak unspeakable things. The whole room was illuminated by spiritual light. My wife was so moved upon by the spirit that she also asked if she could be baptized, so after John and Matt were done.

       I went down into the water and baptized her. She said she felt very clean and was happy. She also kissed me. When we got back into meeting Leland confirmed all three of them. When he confirmed John he simply blessed him that he would continue receiving the spirit. After John and Matt, Leland gave my wife the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
He said in part, that she covenanted in her pre-existent life to marry me. He also stated she would be blessed by all our posterity for generations to come, and that she would be a honored mother in Zion. At this point Carolyn began to cry and so did I. The spirit was so strong in the room everyone began to have spiritual manifestations. Later on in the meeting a beautiful smell came over everyone like many flowers. John asked Leland, "Does the Spirit have a smell?" Leland said, "No, but Angels do have a perfume." I testify, there were heavenly beings in our midst that day, and it was more like Pentecost then I thought I would ever experience. I even heard heavenly music in my bedroom a few days later. Now my wife and I are firmly rooted in the faith with many witnesses, and no matter what hardships come our away we will know God rules in Israel! Adam is God, our only God and Leland is his Messenger!

       Of late we have got another new member named Brian, who is Garrett's brother in law. He is zealous in the work! And is filled with the Spirit. He has learned more from the Holy Ghost than many of us in such a short time. He is already having many revelations. I am excited for him as I can see that he will bring millions into the work.

Chapter 4

The Kingdom Rolls on

       A few Months ago Leland in meeting looked solemn; he said "Brethren you will see in a few months the worlds Financial markets go crazy. And some banks will have hardships, some will even close. During this time congress will pass unconstitutional laws to bail out the market and put us in worse debt. Gas will go down for a short time during this, yet soon It will go back up." Is that not a true Prophecy? He said it when things were looking up. He made similar Prophecies as early as the 90s. See http://parowanprophet.com/Facts%20Won't%20Matter.htm Number 2 on the list.  
       Lately we also celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles, as commanded in Deuteronomy 16:16-17 and it was wonderful!   Beginning October 14^th, 2008  http://www.parowanprophet.com/trumpets_and_tents.htm We all slept in Tents as it says in the Law, and my Father came down to do it with us. During that Feast Leland got a phone call from an old friend named Brother Ed, he was in the hospital and dyeing.
He was having blood problems and couldn't eat, and many other things, and the doctors could not do anything for him. Leland told us all to pray for him that night in our tents. The next morning Leland took a new red handkerchief and with the brethren blessed it, just as Joseph did in church history. He pronounced a blessing upon it, that the virtue in it vested would heal Brother Ed, so that he could get up and walk out of the hospital whole. He then sent it overnight U.P.S. $50 priority delivery. The next day we performed the Water Ordinance. It was powerful and as we stood in the prayer circle around an un-hewn stone outside as Exodus 20:25 says, I knew we were fulfilling the will of the Lord.
On the last day of Tabernacles we got a call. Brother Ed said he wiped the Handkerchief on his face as Leland instructed him, and he was healed. And checked out of the hospital rejoicing. He had been in the Hospital for about a week, because he had lost 30 pounds in a month, down to 160# and was very sick. Leland had told us about Joseph's Red Silk Handkerchief.   Wilford Woodruff says: “A man of the world, knowing of the miracles which had been performed, came to Joseph Smith and asked him if he would not go and heal two twin children of his, about five months old, who were both lying sick nigh unto death. They were some two miles from Montrose, Iowa.

The Prophet (Joseph) said he could not go; but, after pausing some time, he said he would send someone to heal them; and he turned to me and said: "You go with the man and heal his children." He took a red silk handkerchief out of his pocket and gave it to me, and told me to wipe their faces with the handkerchief when I administered to them, and they should be healed. He also said unto me: "As long as you will keep that handkerchief, it shall remain a league between you and me." I went with the man, and did as the Prophet commanded me, and the children were healed. I have possession of the handkerchief unto this day.” Wilford Woodruff, Leaves from My Journal (Salt Lake City: Juvenile Instructor's Office, 1882), pp. 62-65

       I just went on a short Mission with Leland it was Awesome! Here is a little what I said about it. I learned more in the last few days then I learned all two years of my mission for the Church. And that is not even close to an exaggeration, probably twice as much at least! All the people at the Convention in St. George, who looked like returned missionaries, Elders quorum Presidents and Bishops were the first to call the cops;
Forbid us to preach and called us names. And I thought the Baptists were bad! They don't have anything on the Mormons. We also told the cops we knew our rights and we were aloud to preach on public ground, and they couldn't argue with that. For most of the time we passed out fliers about Survival. And we had some really good conversations with passerby. For the most part we hung around this Convention for several days that was going on in St. George. The Convention was just a bunch of booths selling different kinds of stuff, but it was a great place to talk to people. About 25,000 people saw us and we passed out thousands of flyers. My favorite moments were talking with Leland in the Motor home though. He told me many wonderful mysteries of the Kingdom and taught me many lessons. I have seen first hand that Leland Freeborn does indeed have wisdom fraught to govern all the earth. His wisdom is endless like Solomon's.

       I will tell of one particular experience that impressed me. Leland handed me a stack of Survival Flyers while in the motor home and said to me. "Sam, when you hand these fliers out say 'God bless you' to everyone." At first I was taken a back. Saying 'God bless you' was never really my thing. I also didn't know how the Mormons would take it.
I thought about it, then decided 'well I am just going to say it since Leland told me to.' The minute I did people responded much more positively! They said "thank you" and smiled at me, I got in more conversations.
And the reception was more positive all around. I marveled at this, did Leland know something I didn't about people's attitudes? Or did he just have the blessing of God? Clearly both.

       This last meeting we had on 10/27/2008 was very humbling. Leland told us by the Spirit of prophecy all our weaknesses. He was frank and completely accurate.
If you were there you would know beyond doubt that he is a Prophet of the Living God and a Shepherd to all Israel. He did it in love and even cried a little. He told us we had to change or we would be condemned.
http://www.parowanprophet.com/Proof2/Faith%20of%20a%20Testimony.htm
I hope you humble yourself and come and see without judging the Lords Anointed.
Come and see to save your own soul! Don't run away from it, come and see if he is a Prophet for yourself. I know beyond doubt that Leland Freeborn is a Prophet of God. And I thank God every day that I ever could have known this Man!

       I know his honesty, I have seen his gifts in Action, I have seen his Prophecies fulfilled. He is a True Prophet of God in every sense of the word, and I know it by the Power of the Holy Ghost. He will be proven a false prophet no more then Elijah was! Nothing can stop the work from progressing and the Kingdom from rolling forth.
With all these evidences can you deny the mercy of God? Does not this news of the Kingdom of our Lord bring you down into the depths of humility confessing your sins? Will you not be baptized for so great a work? Please humble yourself and come taste of these fruits and see for yourself if they are not good. Instead of judging rashly.

For God will Judge those who Judge harshly his Anointed Prophets in these last days.
Come as to John at the river Jordan! For the Kingdom of God is at hand.

       I am Now going to relate part of that Meeting on October 27, 2008 to you. We were told of a vision Leland had the night before when an Angel had visited him. The Angel showed him a Giant Scroll that was hundreds of feet high and miles long. On it were the names of all those who were condemned to die. Leland noticed that mine, and others in the Kingdom's names were on it. He exhorted us with all the power of his being to repent of the things the Angel told him about, that our names might be erased. He related what the Angel told him regarding each one of us. Which was not only accurate but struck to the center of our beings. We have been humbled and now realize we have been very wicked prideful and frivolous. I myself have been humbled, I am in the pit of sorrow,
I pray God might forgive me. I pray the Holy Ghost may show me all my weaknesses that I can overcome them, that at last I might have faith, hope and Charity enough to be saved.
http://www.parowanprophet.com/Proof2/Faith%20of%20a%20Testimony.htm  

       I know I am a sinner and I so terribly want to change. I keep this record that my children will know what great mercy God has had upon their Fathers. And whether I die and slip into the obscurity of darkness or triumph, may my children read this that they may be saved and make their own elections sure. I know this Kingdom is the Kingdom of God. I know Leland F Freeborn is God's servant, and I know this work is of God and cannot be frustrated.
