[ His Holy Church is appointed by Jesus Christ but the people must choose to recognize its position as they needed to recognize Jesus Christ as the Highest Son of David. His Holy Church is not to exercise authority over the people therefore the business of governing the people is in the hands of the people and they must decide who they will trust business of the ministration and who they will call upon for the sanction or blessing of the Father?
Colossians 4:1 Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

4. The Protectors of the trust are recognized by the Grantors of the trust as anointed ministers of His Holy Church. [see Polity and Form R15:4]
[The Protector of His Holy Church is the Holy Spirit. So to call upon His Holy Church to be the Protector of His Church Trust is to also call upon the Holy Spirit of God as the Protector.

[ All power and authority have been given to Jesus.
. 1 Corinthians 15:24 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.]
6. His Holy Church has been appointed by the Beneficiary to minister to His Faithful, His children and those who wish to return to the LORD in His Kingdom on Earth, therefore as His subjects and ministers they represent the Beneficiary in service.2
[His Holy Church binds the people with Love, Faith, Hope and Charity not with contracts, covenants and oaths. It is the called out house of the Lord, Jesus Christ
Leviticus 25:31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
The original authority of the Church comes from Jesus Christ but the People must recognize that authority because they are not given the power to "exercise authority".
Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
The little flock is the ekklesia or His Holy Church and they must manifest the precepts and character of the kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Luke 22:25-29 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
Jesus appointed his trustees to minister to his Kingdom and told them how to do so.
Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
And they began their work in earnest in the temple in the face of those turned out by Jesus when he over turned their tables and banks as King and Highpriest]
7. His Holy Church may receive equitably reconverted property on behalf of the Beneficiary to exclusive use and sanctification of the Beneficiary known as consecration. His Holy Church belongs to the Beneficiary and they hold all things in common3.
[The conversion and reconversion of property has been a major center of activity from Adam to Noah, Shem to Abraham, Israel to the Kings and finally Jesus. That controversy of lawful title to property is still apart of the scenario played out today between the world and His Holy Church.
Leviticus 20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD [am] holy, and have severed you from [other] people, that ye should be mine.
Leviticus 25:32-34 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, [and] the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
This is at least part of the roll of His Holy Church and His Church Trust. His Holy Church as the Levites before them depend on the faithfulness and charity of the people to fulfill their mission so that they to will be found by the Creator to be seeking the kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Leviticus 27:28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, [both] of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing [is] most holy unto the LORD.
Numbers 3:12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
Originally the firstborn were the priest of the individual families and so are they to be today. Because man fell God transferred that role to the Levites, not to usurp the people and make them week but to strengthen them and encourage them in their our of weakness. So, also the His Holy Church and His Church Trust play the same roll today of the first born in Faith and by their ensemble strive to assist and teach the people to return to the ways of the LORD..
Numbers 3:45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I [am] the LORD.
Numbers 8:14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
Numbers 35:6-8 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites [there shall be] six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities. [So] all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [shall be] forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs. And the cities which ye shall give [shall be] of the possession of the children of Israel: from [them that have] many ye shall give many; but from [them that have] few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
Numbers 8:18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
His Holy Church takes the place of the Church in the wilderness to fulfill the needs of the people in service in their hour of bondage. Though the template was laid down years before the precepts ably today more than ever.
Malachi 3:17-18 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
His Holy Church belongs to God. They have given up their freedom and liberty in order to be servants in the kingdom of God. As Moses and gave up his comfort and Jesus gave up his life so also His Holy Church made in His image as servants who sacrifice themselves daily with no estate.
Acts 4:36-37 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, [and] of the country of Cyprus, Having land, sold [it], and brought the money, and laid [it] at the apostles' feet.
The early Church did not own land in their own names as an estate. Like the Levites before them they followed in the precepts of the Church in the wilderness.
Matthew 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head.
And those Levites who sought to become right with the LORD disposed the land they had got under the Hasmonian Dynasty so that they could be ministers in His Holy Church.
Acts 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.]
8. The trust is established at the moment that property, tangible or intangible is granted to the holding possession of the Trustee. The promise of future labor or pledge of payment is not considered "property" and cannot, by itself, form a trust corpus.
[ Not what is said but what is done.
Psalms 116:11 I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.
Proverbs 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
The Kingdom of heaven on earth is the Spirit made flesh where men worship in Spirit and in Truth.

Obadiah 1:13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid [hands] on their substance in the day of their calamity;
Hosea 12:8-9 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: [in] all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that [were] sin. And I [that am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
Luke 8:3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. ]
9. The purpose of His Church Trust is to receive the contributions of the congregation and the people from what ever source and to reconvert the use to the Beneficiary and His servants in the performance of their duties as prescribed by the Father and Beneficiary. The ministers of His Holy Church may bring to the attention of the trustee and the congregation the needs of His Holy Church but the congregation has original determination of charitable contribution and the Trustee has full discretion in the final distribution of funds received by His Church Trust.
[We were made in the image of God and we have strayed from His path. In repentance over time and in practice we must return to the ways of the LORD. His Holy Church is to assist in doing the will of the Father and His Church Trust is to assist His Holy Church in this mission.
John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Learn the ways of the LORD God, ruler of Heaven and earth.]
10. The Trustee may choose to reject a contribution for reasons including, but not limited to; The property is more of a liability than a value, the Trustee is not capable of managing the property properly, the intent of the Grantor is not sincere charity but ulterior, such as a bribe, to deprive others of rightful benefit or to gain influence, etc..
[The Trustee is to learn to exercise authority over what he is given for the God of the Benefactor. He is a disciple of Christ learning the ways of Christ in the performance of His duties to His Church Trust.
Leviticus 7:19 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean [thing] shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Acts 10:15 And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
1 Corinthians 8:9-10 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; ]
11. His Church Trust is not an investment trust and it's purpose is to serve rather than be served, this includes but is not limited to: His Church Trust does not seek to collect interest, to engage in commercial enterprises, to obtain gain, to speculate value fluctuations for profit nor to hoard a great treasury of wealth of the world but rather to return every man unto his possession, and shall return every man unto his family for it is more blessed to give than to receive.4
[ Leviticus 25:36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
Leviticus 25:37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Charity is the life blood of the Kingdom of God in the character of God we must learn to freely give that which we have received]
12. The Trustees are not allowed to derive any personal benefit from His Church Trust but they may pay for general and specific expenses incurred in the performance of their duties from the General funds of the trust.
[As blood must go to every part of a body to maintain health so it must always be present in every part of the body of Christ.
Ecclesiastes 5:15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.

13. The Grantors of His Church Trust do not have control over the distribution of the funds but they may make requests that certain funds granted go to particular needs and desires of the Beneficiary.
[Giving up control allows liberty to flourish. Sacrifice brings blessings.
Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Psalms 62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].
Psalms 118:8 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Leviticus 25:17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I [am] the LORD your God. ]
14. The value and property held by His Church Trust are held in a common fund to be used as needed for the benefit of Jesus Christ in preservation, and propagation of His doctrines and ordinances. This would include preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God on earth and the healing of those who are not whole according to the perfect law of liberty.
[His Holy Church must act and be one body so that all else may enjoy individual freedom. His Church Trust is a representation of that same precept becoming one body by individual choice, daily
Numbers 1:50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that [belong] to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
Acts 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. ]
15. The Trustee shall make every reasonable effort to comply with those specific or general requests concerning the direction of a contribution as long as they are in conformance with receiving, preserving, and propagating His doctrines and ordinances. With this in mind the Trustee does have discretion in the final distribution of funds .
[The giving of gifts, the distribution of the corpus, the relinquishment of power allows more abundance in all things.
Leviticus 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.]
16. The Trustees are to keep records and make those records available to all other trustees and the Protectors of the trust upon demand. The Trustees shall inform the elders of the congregation of the work he is doing in the distribution of funds and property upon request.
[The keeping of records is a bearing of witness and a testimonial. The Kingdom of Heaven is not to be secret or kept under a bushel basket.
2 Chronicles 34:13 Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens, and [were] overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites [there were] scribes, and officers, and porters.

Matthew 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Matthew 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and [some] of them ye shall kill and crucify; and [some] of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute [them] from city to city:
Luke 20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
Acts 6:12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon [him], and caught him, and brought [him] to the council, ]
17. Protectors may terminate a trustee for breach of trust, refusing or failing to produce records in a timely fashion, moral turpitude or any other reason in accordance with his God given conscience and the doctrines of the Beneficiary. [see Form A 5:5]
[His Holy Church relies upon the Holy Spirit to be its Protector. It is also the Protector of His Church Trust. It therefore looks to The Holy Spirit in the fulfillment of its obligation to the Grantors as Protector of His Church Trust.
Proverbs 26:3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

18. The Trustee may appeal termination to another assigned Protector of His Church Trust and then to His Holy Church with members of the congregation as witness.
[It is the Job of the Protector to protect His Church Trust from breaches of trust by a Trustee but the Trustee also has taken on an obligation to fulfill the terms of his office. Both have a right and obligation to defend their position and tradition shows us what we may do.
Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
3 John 1:6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
Matthew 18:15-17 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
2 Corinthians 13:1 This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. ]
19. The Trustee may tend his resignation for any reason , preferably with notice to other trustees of His Church Trust and the Protectors. [see form R 14:13]
[Freedom of Choice is fundamental in the Kingdom of Heaven and that choice is exercised daily.

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Hebrews 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as [was] Aaron.

20. If a particular auxiliary trust and accounts can no longer be maintained nor needs to be maintained, then the trust is to be dissolved and the corpus of that trust is to be distributed among other Trusteeships of His Church or consecrated to the Beneficiary of the trust.
[Matthew 5:5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

The individual congregations should be linked in Spirit and in practical and real ways by the communion of their Ministers in a congregation within the Church with the help and service of the Bishops and Archbishops chosen by them.
2 The servants of the Beneficiary are the members of His Holy Church. The belong to Jesus Christ and the Father and have no estate. Although they may use the consecrated property of the Church to maintain their family they have no estate all things being held in common. They have no authority over the trustees except to appoint or terminate.
Luke 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
Acts 5:5 Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
