Natalie Simmons

Typical of being a native Utahan, I was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My childhood consisted of a large family of five children with a loving mother and father who taught sound fundamental principles. Every Saturday was a day full of preparations for the Sabbath, every Sunday was focused on church and Sunday dinner of roast and potatoes and gravy, Monday nights were family home evening, and the rest of the week was full of early morning scripture study and family prayers before bed.

Early on in my life I found the gospel of Jesus Christ. I remember as a child feeling the burning witness of the spirit within my soul. I never questioned God’s existence. I only questioned how I would become as He is.

At the age of 16 I met the man who I would marry, Daniel Craig Simmons. Instead of basing our lives on our own carnal desires we held off our marriage until he fulfilled a mission in the LDS church. Then, at the age of 19, almost 3 months after he returned, he proposed to me while kneeling in front of me facing a fountain on the East side of the Ogden LDS Temple. He pledged to me that if I would give myself to him he would be my eternal companion and we would always serve God. We were married 10 days later in this same temple. This marriage began our search for the answers to our questions.

We spent many hours in our home reading scriptures together, praying and searching as to how we were expected to become like God. During this study we soon began to realize that the religion we had both come to love was in serious apostasy. It did not teach us the original truths that its founder, Joseph Smith, Jr., had taught. At this point we began to use the keys we had received in the endowment to ask God directly very pointed questions.

The answers we began to receive have built my testimony that the original doctrine as delivered by Joseph Smith, Jr. was the same doctrine taught in the ancient and primitive church. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is unchangeable. The doctrine the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints embraces today is in apostasy to these original truths and has been placed under condemnation for its treason.

Just as God created a restoration of truths with Joseph, He has again created a re-restoration of truth through my father, James Dee Harmston. It became necessary, due to the apostasy of the restored church, to bring out from within it a remnant of Saints to carry forth the true priesthood lineage of God. In doing this He again delivered a prophet as Moses to the people of the House of Israel. This prophet has again brought forth the divine doctrines of the eternal Gods and has delivered it unto His people.

I testify that James Dee Harmston is God’s Prophet to the people of Israel today. I testify that He has been in the presence of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. This trinity of Gods stand as the divine overseers in the work of closing this dispensational effort and opening a great millennial era.

I testify of the divinity of our Eternal Father, who sacrificed by condescending to partake of the elements of this earth and participate as our earthly Father, Adam. Through His condescension we may all partake of the Tree of Life and again gain eternal exaltation. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is the Father of our souls and the giver of life. I testify that He is a God that is a man of perfection.

I also testify that through the sacrificial atonement of Jesus Christ all men may be saved. He is the Redeemer of the House of Israel and stands as the Eternal King over this people. Through His saving grace all men may receive His mercy if they will but turn their lives over to Him and submit to His deliverance of their souls. He is all powerful and full of eternal love. He is deserving of our loyalty and obedience. He stands as our Head and our eternal Brother and Father. If we will honor Him and obey His law we may all share in His reward and become a joint heir with Him. Such mercy He has given to us that no other man is so deserving of eternal crowns of reward.

I testify that the Prophet of today, James Dee Harmston stands as Joseph, as the third member of the Godhead, the Holy Ghost. He functions within this office as a prophet, seer and revelator to His people of the House of Israel. He stands as the guard to witness, testify and judge all those who would enter the throne room. No other man, save Jesus Christ, has done more for the eternal salvation of God’s people than He has. I testify that He shall be a joint heir of this earth with His Father, Jesus Christ, as He has submitted to His law and purposes.

Though I was brought into this world under the indoctrination of wicked and designing men who claimed to hold the keys, I testify that through God’s mercy he has delivered me. He has given me wonderful parents to provide me with a firm foundation. He has given me a wise and tender companion to help guide my foot-steps and beautiful children who look to heaven’s knowledge and understanding. God’s gifts to me have blessed me with love and peace.

Along side my husband we used the keys given to us to commune through the veil with the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn and have spoken directly with God. His truths have again been revealed to His people and they are soon to be delivered into the promised land. I am evidence of God’s mercy to His people for He has saved my life and molded me into a women of beauty and divinity. I testify that to all who read my words… if you will hearken to the voice of God and accept his sacrifice upon your sins by repenting of your awful state, He too will deliver you from the chains of bondage. You have the opportunity to see God in the flesh and enter into His rest in the day of the Lord. May all men repent of their ways and accept the great plan of Jesus Christ that enables us all to become as He is. For now I know, by His voice, how we may all become like Him. My future is full of the desires of my heart; to live eternally with God, to live in love with my husband, children and God’s people. This I testify of in the sacred holy name of Son Ahman, the Lord, Jesus Christ, amen.
