"The Word of the Lord Brought to Mankind by an Angel" Pt. 2
Message 31
1 “Fear not, let peace be with you. Your prayers have been heard; God hears the prayers of His children; He knows your hearts before you ask. Some are pleading to Him in your behalf, and God has looked on you in favor. The year has been good to you. Blessings have been yours to enjoy. Yea, be humble before your God.
2 Truly God has used you as an instrument in His hands—by the power of that righteous Spirit He spoke through you. Many have obeyed His voice. Many have been made glad, and some have gone through sadness and will, before they will hear Him, but God will not fail the honest—those that seek Him diligently. Seek Him early while it is called today. Man is all selfishness unless he is filled with the Spirit of God.”
At this juncture the visitor raised his right arm and seemed to reach almost over me swaying his arm gently. I watched every move he made and especially his lips as he spoke on with sternness and firmness as one speaking the truth.
3 Now hear ye the words of the Lord, all that tremble in His sight, and at His word, ‘Yea, seek Me and walk righteously before Me, heed My voice and great shall be your blessings. Remember your Lord and master who drank of the bitter cup—all must drink of the cup of trial1 to know what I have suffered for you. Lift high your banner, hold firmly to the iron rod. Yea, the righteous call unto Me and My countenance shines upon them.
4 I say unto thee all, for none have progressed as I would have you. The longing in your hearts is still unsatisfied because of that which brought broken confidence in each other and discouragement and shaken hope; thus speaking hard of each other, making hardness of heart. Behold, I would have you love one another. Do good to them that despitefully use you.
5 My sheep know My voice. Many false delusions are going out, but again I say My sheep know My voice and heareth not another. Some have lost their affections for My work. This ye must not do, but uphold My work, or darkness will shake you one and all, and the gathering you long to accomplish shall come to naught. I know your desires; yea, when seasoned by My Spirit, much good will come from your works. Humble yourselves more before Me. In not doing this, ye do foolishly before Me.
6 Stand more firmly together, for I desire it of thee, that you may stand when greater powers of darkness shall come over you. Yea it is, that dark clouds of deceitfulness and dangerous sayings shall come among you, which shall try many and some may fall. Pray for thy brethren. Cry unto God.
7 Indeed the angel that revived the work is still at the helm, and verily has not come since the visit with the Message, that all must drink of the bitter cup, to thy brother Fetting, but shall come again. Yea, and indeed, I, your Maker, knoweth all that taketh place. When ye hear it said, “A shining light,” “A great star,” I say unto you, know ye this, it is not of Me; be not deceived by it.
8 Much is folly before Me and man is nothing of good when he heeds not My voice. Know ye the witness of My Spirit, how that it caused the hearts of men to mellow before Me. Is this Spirit still with you? Heed ye the still small voice and the promptings of the divine Spirit. Be not conformed to the works of darkness nor the ways of the world. Work with an eye single to My glory. When I speak answer by your actions; abide in My doctrine. Let your words and deeds be that to My honor and glory. Return your love and service to Me that your works may show your faith.
9 “Ye that name My name give thanks unto your Master; in so doing I will bless you that you will be a blessing, and bless others. Let My Spirit rule your lives. Be ye long suffering. Be not as sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. Be filled with charity and let peace rule your minds and your lives. The fire of joy shall burn within you. Yea, the Lord will walk and talk with those that keep His law in fullness. Seek not the praise of men. Be not heady nor high-minded. Seek to do good. A good tree cannot bear corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree, good fruit.
10 Verily, the courts from above have sounded these words, and you have heard. Yea, be at peace, let not your heart be troubled. Be at peace with all men. Hear the words that are true and faithful sent from the realms above.’ ”
By this time I was fully convinced that my visitor was an angel. As he spoke the last words he floated back to the head of the stairs, directly in front of a window. I rubbed my eyes, hoping to get a better look at him and then to ask his name, should he pause. But I could see him no more. The light remained in the room for an hour or more. I fell asleep and when I awakened the influence remained with power and as I write I can feel the tingling influence of that Spirit. This is as near correct as I can remember.
Message 32
1 “With peace I come to you as a servant of God. I come to do His will, to prophesy. I bring a Message at this time.
2 Again the Lord has heard your prayers; yea, He hears the prayers of His children that are from the heart; many call on Him, them He shall hear. Your testimony of this work is true, you are not deceived. You must remember to be humble, let righteousness speak your testimony to others. ‘Yea, I, your God, have raised thee up as a witness and an evidence to My people, and thee and thy family; that the power of God can save and bring the righteous to victory. I have guarded thy ways and inspired thy thoughts in the past. I have watched over thee, but the adversary of My work from the beginning hath taken note of that which thou hath thought to accomplish; yea, therefore, be humble, even all; be contrite, seek earnestly for wisdom, for understanding, and for greater knowledge. Be at watch and you shall have My Spirit and you shall not be deceived. Pray often and the dark powers shall not oppose to destruction. Remember, your work is peculiar, even amongst your brethren.
3 Behold, My Church hath passed through great trials and darkness. Falseness has brought priestcraft among My children. Many weep because of this power and their prayers have been heard. Yea, darkness shall recede and Spiritual light shall retrieve. Many shall be made strong. Greater understanding is sought for and shall be theirs to enjoy to happiness and peace. For lo, false prophecy has divided you as a dark hand and has wrought its work, and My Church has wavered because of it, making weaker the faith of some; but I your Lord, doth not work in subtle manner. Woe1 to those that seek high positions. Follow not after that which bringeth discouragement among those that have named My name, but lift up your hearts and strengthen your faith.
4 My ministry must seek Me much and be very humble, eliminate selfishness, do My bidding, that which is just and right, for My kingdom children’s sake. Be not conceited but give ye as cheerful givers. Take courage, all ye that are weary, fail not to show your affection for Me, your Lord and God. My love is for you one and all. Hold fast to My truths which shall stand even through darkness. I will not leave thee alone. I shall give testimonies of great truths to you and to many. I shall call many honest, many humble, many with knowledge and understanding, for yet My house shall be built; My Temple, a haven of rest, a refuge. Oh ye one and all, My servants, seek to please Me and not man. Humbly come ye together.
5 To My Nucla saints: I spoke once with a testimony of tongues, yet My people heard Me not, by their actions. But I know your hearts, that which hinders shall not hinder longer. Build ye the storehouse that shall bring a blessing to many. Shake off the shackles of contention and labor. Behold, it shall be done, those that stand in the way shall hinder no more. The weakness and folly of some has caused My work to suffer; this shall not continue.
6 Verily, verily, ye say ye love Me. Where is your God that created thee? Know ye not that I know thee and know your whereabouts? I led many from the way of darkness and ye have contended selfishly to your woe, driving the good Spirit away; and doubt has entered the minds of some. Some that say they are not accountable for their folly; this is not of Me, your living God.
7 I speak these words of truth and they shall have their place among My children. Yea, trust Me ye flocks, and I shall bear thee up at the last day. I am your God, I change not. I love thee and shall bless much, as your faith is. I leave My peace upon you.”
He left—but the influence of his presence remained and as I write this down, I feel that good Spirit, even in power, causing me to tremble in the sight of the Lord.
Message 36
1 “Again I come in peace to you with words of encouragement for The Church of Christ. Behold the day is when time is ripening, the harvest must be gathered. Thus, the words of salvation must be carried to all the world, for Christ’s coming is near at hand and this warning must be sent, the Gospel of the kingdom preached—then shall the Lord come in the clouds of glory. For the righteous, great shall be their joy—but to those that know Him not and that obey not the gospel, the Lord of salvation shall take vengeance on them.
2 May the people of the Lord God take on new courage. Let not your hearts be troubled, for the Lord has blessed His Church in that your actions at the assembly were acceptable—yet greater shall be your joy. This is the Lord’s work and man cannot change1 His plan nor His decree for they are unalterable.
3 Thus saith the Lord your God, ‘Oh ye of little faith and ye that have set your hearts, and have said, “The Lord has not sent His angel,” for lo, I have sent Mine angel from My courts above, the realms from on high, and he brings and has brought words from My speaking. But ye sit as judges, stiff necked and hard of heart, saying, “The Lord speaks through me by His Spirit.” Yea, verily, I say unto you, I have not prompted you to speak thus— but through the emotions of your hearts, and not to wait upon the Lord—but to do My work in your way, you have sinned before Me by doing thus, that you may hinder My work. In that you will fail. And it needs be that you humble yourselves before Me and repent. For know ye not that I, the Lord your God, knoweth your hearts, your very thoughts and deeds. I would bless you and fill you with My Spirit if you would heed My voice. Unless you will hear Me in My way and heeding My voice obey—you shall not be called Mine at the last day, for you will yet fail. Others that are willing will carry My work onward, for Zion will be redeemed and Israel gathered. The Jews must be gathered to their homeland, and Israel’s hosts to this land that shall be cleansed, then shall it be Zion, a place of peace, a nation of righteousness; wherein the Lord will walk and talk with His people, for sin shall not be there and the lamb and the lion shall lie down together. Peace and love shall reign, and the Lord of justice shall be over all. The Jew and the Gentile, the bond and the free shall be as one. Even the Lamb of God, which is Jesus Christ, slain for the sins of the world and raised to eternal glory, shall be over all till the completion of all things and the Father sees it well done. Thus have I spoken,’ saith the Lord your God. 4 ‘Let all My servants that I have called be up and doing for I will direct them. Let My young servants be at work and I will bless them greatly. Let all labor in their calling or idleness will let darkness cloud their minds and they will not enjoy the Spirit nor the goodness of God. Let My young servant Raymond Bronson labor with his parents as their work is pleasing unto Me. Let My servant Parkinson prepare to labor in Canada as much as possible as the way will open before him. Let My servant Belcher labor in the field near his home and round about places, for much is to be done and laborers are few.’
5 Remember the many things I have told you, that you have not been permitted to write. Be very humble before the Lord. Worry not about what man has done—those that reject the words I bring to you. They do not reject you but they reject me and the words I bring from the Lord, and the Lord has not and will not let His Spirit always be with them unless they turn and heed the Lord their God.
6 I am he who shall minister unto ten thousand times ten thousand and they shall be tried and purged. For I sit as a refiner of gold, and as with fuller’s soap, purging the hearts of men and cleansing out the dross, the sins of men. For man must be made holy before he can come in the presence of God, or the glory of the Lamb, slain for the sins of the world, that mankind might believe on Him and be redeemed from that awful state.
7 Behold, the Lord soon comes and I shall be with Him when He comes to His Temple that shall be built by a people of clean hands and pure hearts.
8 These words I have brought from the presence of the Lord your God. I come to you in peace, with a Message to bring peace to the Church.
9 I bid you give these to Mine apostles, as you did before, and publish them for the Church. The Lord has spoken it.
10 I leave and shall come again as the Lord will direct. My name is John, the Messenger of the Lord.”
He left, it was 3:20 a.m. As on other occasions the room was as light as noon-day and remained so for sometime after.
Message 80
1 “Behold! I come from the presence of the Lord to bring instructions and directions for the Church, the people of His elect. I am the servant come to call others to work a work, to bring the restitution and restoration of all things. To the wise a warning, to those that look for it—the fulfilling and bringing in the assured way of salvation, all else will not save you. It must be the Christ and His teachings, His words, for salvation only comes by Him.
2 I am sent at this time, the Lord’s appointing. Give my words to the Church, the brethren. There are many faithful that grow not weary in well doing. The Lord’s work is set in pace, let it move on.
3 Take hold your peculiar work. Lift your brethren that all may arise to greater standards and the people be made strong, filled with the Lord’s Spirit.
4 The time comes when Zion shall be established, a nation in righteousness. Then the dominions, the kingdoms absorbed by His righteousness and power, shall be given to the saints of the most high5. His enemies shall be turned back. They shall fall and perish at His presence.
5 I am the Elias, the forerunner of the Christ. There are many representing Christ and believe in my coming, yet they heed not my words.
6 Churches will unite, some will come into this way and be made ready. Put on the armor of faith, the shield of wisdom, knowledge and salvation.
7 Mankind chooses this day, what his destiny in the hereafter shall be.
8 There will come vacancies in the men that lead in this work. Let them be filled as I shall direct you of the Lord’s will. When men fail it is of their own choosing and action.
9 Let there be a house, a Church building, a place of worship, built for this work; for the local of Independence to meet and hold their convocations, their services to the Lord. In peace the Lord will meet with them, many shall see the hand of the Lord move. Many will flow into it to find the way of truth and life. Let the headquarters and records be there. Keep and protect the records and files. Let Edward Lee Stone continue the information and files on all that come into this work.
10 Fear not and worry not about the Temple of the Lord, for the Lord can choose the place, the time to build, and direct in His work when He desires His Temple to be built. But with all, let there be Churches and buildings dedicated to the Lord’s work everywhere—in the name of The Church of Christ, with the Elijah Message. Declare among the people the Lord’s doings.
11 The Lord has given those to help and defend this cause. He has given those to stand by you and cause this work to move on in the Lord’s will. Be strong, be firm, let the truth be heard everywhere.
12 Meet in the assembly, let your prayers be solemn and from the heart.
13 Establish peace and power will dwell with you. Sanctify the people in holiness and good works, obedient to the words I bring. Let the work of preaching and teaching continue everywhere and the Lord will be your strength and stay.
14 Those that contend, believing not all the words I bring, let them have no voice or vote in this work; already they remove themselves from your numbers. Pray that they may repent and obey the Lord’s will, for I speak His will.
15 Let the young and old work together that the work may be planted everywhere. The Lord is pleased with the efforts of the young servants, their labor in love, taking the Message from door to door.
16 Let LeVon Walker, Richard F. Ream, Benjamin F. Sanders, Columbus Rivers and Dohn Emmett Weaver be ordained as elders, preaching faith in the Lord and His divine way, repentance and remission of sins through the atoning blood of Christ.
17 I am the Elias. I am John the Baptist. I came at the time before the Christ walked among men. I come now to work a work to save mankind. My mission is one of love. Will mankind heed?
18 Peace I bring, peace I leave with you. Amen.”
Message 120
1 “I will give you a Message that all may know the Lord has sent me to speak His will. I come from His presence to give instructions so this work may progress.
2 Keep the standard and the work will not suffer. It has been established to move to every nation and the people of this world.
3 Let Anthony Wangai be set apart as a disciple to work among his people.
4 When there cometh vacancies in the bishop quorum, let these prepare to fill vacancies: Richard Massman and Marvin Zink.
5 Likewise of the apostles; Alan Crownover, Jim Rolfe, Darrell Bellamy and Mike Greenwell. The Lord will bless by His Spirit as they take up their calling.
6 The Lord Jesus is the Christ and He changes not. He is the light of salvation to all that hear His voice. 7 Let the work continue in the foreign fields. Let it be established everywhere. The Lord will bless and bring success by His Spirit.
8 Give this Message to the brethren. I leave peace with you. Amen.”
