I received a call the other day from God, the Chief Architect, and he informed me that my new home was completed. You all know that I had been working on my new building, sending up timber, packing up and getting ready to go. I knew that my mansion needed some finishing touches and the Chief Carpenter, Jesus Christ had to inspect and give me final approval. On Saturday, July 20, 2019, He let me know that my mansion was finally completed and I could move in right away. He told me to go ahead and change my address.
