Now go, write it on a tablet before them and inscribe
it on a scroll, that it may serve in the time to come.
For this is a rebellious people, false sons, sons who
refuse to listen to the instruction of the Lord.
Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions.”
And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy
unto us what is right. Speak unto us pleasant
words .... prophesy illusions.”
Isaiah 30:8-10

EDITOR’S NOTE
While preparing this manuscript for publication it became obvious that Epistles of the
Kingdom was not the kind of book one would pick up to read over a long weekend.
Rather, it is meant to be meditated upon and read slowly, absorbing its contents into
one’s spirit. To set out to read these epistles in rapid succession will only result in
missing the treasures of God’s wisdom and instruction offered therein.
As with most inspired writings, the epistles hold many new revelations that will
enlighten and guide the reader into a deeper, more intimate relationship with our
Lord.
It is important to note that the author, who would quickly point out that he is after all
only a listener to what the Spirit is saying, learned early on to insist the One speaking
provide supportive Scripture to what was said. This component of trying the spirits
allows each epistle to be validated and approved for spiritual consumption. By
adhering to this basic principle in hearing “what the Spirit is saying” (RE 2:7, 11) the
author found assurance and encouragement in what he heard. Therefore, it is also
advisable for you to do the same, keeping a Bible close at hand to refer to the
foundational Scriptures given in each epistle.
You will notice the method used to compose these writings is unlike most
publications. Large type, bold-face and italics are used to emphasise a particular
point. This was done at the direction of the Lord and is meant to seize your attention
by underscoring the importance of what was said.
The author’s comments have been inserted here and there among various epistles.
Often they explain the circumstances through which the epistle was received.
Occasionally they expand upon the word given and are quite instructive. With the
exception of the Preface, these are all in italics to help you recognize the author’s
comments from the main text.
Since the Lord is always speaking to His people it follows that there will be future
epistles. To obtain a new or additional copies, please contact the ministry office
directly. Their address has been provided in the back of this book.
May the Spirit of the Lord draw you and prepare you to receive from Him and may
He cause you to enter into a deeper under standing of Himself, His Word and His
purpose in these last days.
C. A. Patterson

PREFACE
The following pages contain words that Jesus spoke to me while appearing in vision,
audible word or voice form within my spirit. Those around me did not hear or see
Him, only I did. (AC 22:7-9 kj) These appearances are not impressions, intellectually
learned things or workings of my natural mind. (1 CO 2:14) His voice (JN 10:27) spoke
to my intuitive spirit faculties and senses (HE 5:14) embodied within my human spirit.
(JOB 32:8; PR 20:27; HE 1:1-2; DA 4:13)
After finding Christ Jesus as my Saviour on February 22, 1959, my life changed
traumatically. I had an uncanny obsession and hunger to know Him, to see Him and to
hear His voice. I thirsted after Him during long, lonely nights. His first appearance
was when I was born again. Then suddenly, about seven months later, He began to
appear intermittently, as He willed it to be so.
In the early three and a half years (September 1960 to 1964), I began to hear His
voice (JN 10:27a) and to see His person in vision form, sometimes even in tangible
form where I could touch Him. (1 JN 1:1-3) In those days, I saw and heard Him outside
of me. Now in these latter years (beginning in 1981), I both see and hear Him on the
inside and outside of me - as He wills. My gospel does not violate the Scriptures, for
Jesus is the Teacher. (JN 16:12-15; 1 JN 2:17)
Once, I challenged my mind and thoughts of their authenticity saying to myself, “I
must be losing my mind!” Suddenly, His voice spoke back to me saying, “This is not
your mind, My son - it is the Lord!” It was awesome, thrilling, foreboding and
delightfully wonderful! I did not know that anything like this could really happen to
people!
The first time I heard His voice was while I was eating dinner with my family. It was
so clear! Right in the middle of a bite of food I heard Him talking on the inside of me,
within my spirit, so clearly and audibly. I thought everyone at the table heard it. I
answered Him saying, “Is that right, Lord?” Everyone looked at me so strangely,
then my wife said, “I wish you would stop being so spiritual.” I said, “Honey, I did
not ask Him to talk to me, besides, I did not know that He could!” He continued to
converse with me about a close family member, telling me what the problems were
and how to deal with them. I obeyed Him and needless to say, that loved one was
delivered from serious sin.
This event began a new relationship with the Lord. He was training, teaching and
proving me (JN 14:26; 16:13; 1 JN 2:27; 1 TH 5:19, 21; 1 JN 4:1) yet, I would not accept
anything from Him unless He validated what He was saying with the Scriptures.
I soon learned not to reveal these things to other believers as it was always met with
severe criticism, especially from the leaders. In the initial years I did not understand
the importance of recording His words to me and lost much of what He said. Then His
appearances stopped after I had been a Christian for about three and a half years.
Why? I do not know, but I think it was because I stopped sharing what He said to me
with others, because the criticism was so painful.
6
It was not until many years later, in September of 1981, that He began to appear to me
again. This time I recorded His words. It happened when my son and I went on a
business trip to Minneapolis, Minnesota. There, the mantle and anointing of seeing
and hearing the Lord fell on me once again.
In those early years His appearances were always outside of me; now His appearances
happen both inside and outside of me, as He wills. When they occur inside, my head
becomes a room which is fifteen to twenty feet high and thirty feet in diameter. It is
circular in shape and dome-styled. My shoulders are floor level. In visions, He
appears to me in this room and talks with me, just like I would if I came into a room
of your house and talked with you.
About the time He began to appear again in 1981, a Prophetess came to me saying,
“The Lord wants you to write down the words He’s giving you. Your natural mind can
not retain them.” Immediately, He appeared in my room saying, “I want you to title
the book ‘Epistles of the Kingdom unto Royal by the Holy Spirit.’”
Please understand that I do not equate these sayings or appearances as being equal to
the Scriptures. I believe they are merely illuminations (EP 1:18) of what He wants me
to understand. (LU 24:32; JN 14:21ef) I fear disobeying Him, therefore, I am now setting
forth these writings as He has commanded. I do not believe I am some sort of
privileged person. He is the Lord of all, including these writings. (RO 11:36 amp)
My salvation experience was comparable to Paul’s conversion. (AC 9:1-16; 22:4-21;
26:9-16) His grace to me was so wonderfully strange and powerful. For weeks
afterwards it was difficult to keep my mind focused on the things of this world, so I
went to an Assembly of God Pastor for counselling. He gently laughed and said,
“More people ought to have that problem.” Ten months after being saved and one
month after being baptized with the Holy Spirit according to Acts 14, I began to
preach and evangelize in Mexico. Signs, wonders and miracles were everywhere!
I nearly memorised T.L. Osborn’s book, “Healing the Sick.” This book had such a
profound effect upon me that I found myself preaching the same faith message. At
that time, I did not know about gifts, callings and offices (RO 11:29; EP 4:11-13), yet my
only desire was to please my Saviour, to win souls and heal the sick.
In good conscience I could not neglect my family and employer, so I spent every
spare moment, and I mean every spare moment, seeking God’s face. Christians who
knew me were worried, yet I was having a wonderful love affair with Jesus! Sinners
loved me, but Christians - long standing in Christ - were terribly vocal and critical.
Over the years, the Lord has led me in and out of many experiences. Some were very
painful, some were equally joyful. Through it all, His word and His presence became
richer and more
There are many ways in which the Lord communicates with His children such as
visions, dreams, intuitive knowings, the audible voice, the inaudible voice and angelic
visitations. He graciously blessed me, with every one of these wonders. Yet, the Holy
Spirit was always confirming and validating everything He said with His written
Word. (JN 14:26cd)
7
During the many long, lonely night hours of seeking Him, He began to teach on His
Spirit principles and laws (RO 8:2; 2 T1 2:5; JA 1:22) found in His word by the
revelation workings of the Holy Spirit (EP 1:17-18), with many infallible proofs. (AC
1:3) He was always bringing to my memory; book, chapter and verse for all that He
said. The school of hard knocks and suffering was my greatest blessing. (2 CO 6:3-10;
HE 5:7; JN 17:18) He was always at my side “never leaving me, nor forsaking me.” (HE
13:5; RO 8:28; 1 JN 2:27; JN 16:12-14; 2 CO 13:1)
There were five long, excruciatingly painful years of being in the crucible of God’s
refining fires where He purged me, causing a deep and intense heart search with ever
increasing depths of repentance. Then, in September of 1981, His mantle (anointing)
fell afresh upon me once again! He sovereignly came, healing all the wounds and
memories that inflicted me while with my brethren in the House of the Lord. He
removed all the fears, doubts and disillusionment I had.
The joy of His glorious presence had returned! But an angel from God appeared with
a warning of future valleys and ‘shadows of death’ I was yet to experience, as well as
a promise that God would also bring a new anointing. The angel said, “The Lord is
going to work an experience of righteousness in you that has never been experienced
in believers since the Cross.” He was no longer hiding Himself. I passed the tests!
Jesus had kept me in testings rejections, persecutions, lies, accusation and betrayals.
Jesus was beside and in me afresh. His voice was even clearer than before. He
rekindled and renewed our love relationship. Hallelujah! Then He began to open
doors for me to minister once again. Oh, what triumph and glory! What joy
unspeakable!
He is truly wonderful and indescribable. He is Lord of all the heavens and earth. He is
my Beginning and End, my All in All. He is the First and the Last in me, the One
Who is, Who was, and Who is yet to come! To Him be the glory forever and ever!
Amen!
To you who read these epistles please, please carefully and prayerfully contemplate
them. Search out the confirming scriptures. Some epistles are very thought provoking
and difficult to understand with your natural mind (2 PE 3:15-16), so do not simply read
them and then turn away from these words. (1 CO 2:14 amp) Do not jeopardise the
progress of your salvation by being analytical, judgmental or critical. (GA 6:7) If you
can not believe me, believe them - for in the end they will speak.
In one of the epistles Jesus said, "I am going to bring an end to all controversies." I
believe He is referring to all doctrine, revelation, eschatology, attitudes, motives,
actions and reactions in our relationships. This will be very painful for us all.
As I said, I hardly regard myself as a privileged believer because of the visions,
hearing His voice, seeing Him or handling His person. Nor do I think I am a special
instrument of God more than anyone else born of God’s Spirit. (GA 2:6)
8
In my inadequate opinion, our relationship, though unusual, is only one which should
be normal between Jesus and His people. (AC 10:34; JN 14:21; 1CO 15:4-8; AC 1:3; 9:1-5;
22:7; 26:14-16; 2 CO 12:2-3; RE 1:10-14; 19:10; 22:8-10)
He desires to have intimate and open fellowship with all of His children. (JN 10:27; 1
JN 1:3cd) If you pray and seek Him correctly, habitually, consistently, persistently and
with all of your heart (JE 29:11-14a) learning His ways (PS 103:7), His spiritual laws (2
TI 2:5) on how to try the spirits (1 JN 4:1); how to judge all things and hold fast to that
which is good (1 TH 5:21); how to distinguish spirits (l CO 12:10c); how to practice,
exercise, train and use your spirit senses (HE 5:14 kj/nas); and how to correctly pay the
price of losing your self fife (LU 9:23), then He will come to you. (JN 14:18 kj) He will
appear to you (JN 14:21) in ways far beyond what you could ask or think! (EP 3:20-21;
JE 29:13-14a; 1 JN 4:1; GA 1:11-12; 2 CO 12:7; RE 1:10-12; AC 2:17-18; NU 12:6; PS 103:7)

Acknowledgment
I would like to give tribute to my dear wife, Darline,
my helpmeet and gift from God of whom I am not worthy.
She has never complained, sacrificing every moral and
legal right for my time and attention. In many ways she
has fulfilled 1 Corinthians 7:29, whereby I could give
myself wholly unto God and His perfect will.
She has done me good and never evil all the
days of our lives together
To the one who has helped me above and beyond the
call of duty, I commit the rewards and the debt I owe
her to God, our Eternal Creator, Who has been
merciful and more than gracious to me.
Lord thank you for my wife, Darline. Amen.
