HELLO 👋 LISTEN…… *Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.*
1 Corinthians:3:16-17,19-20
To know God is to trust Him fully.
*Oh, what sentiments men entertain of God today! Men need to be restored to God and to themselves*.
It is so hard for men to see their own motives and judge correctly of their own spirits, so hard for men to acknowledge frankly from the heart, like David, *”I have sinned. I have had a spirit unlike Christ.”*
*The men who have had the greatest power in our world have lived in the light reflected from the cross of Calvary.*
They have poured out their confessions from hearts filled with sorrow because of their errors and wrongs. *They have not paraded their goodness, their smartness, and their ability before God,* but have said, *”In my hands no price I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling.”*
I saw the Lord Jesus looking with grieved countenance upon men handling sacred things, because they did not discern sacred things.
He said, “Human character cannot be trusted. Unless Christ is interwoven in the character, it is valueless. *Unless there is a transformation of character, there is no hope for the world.”*
The institutions in our midst have all been founded in sacrifice. *They belong to the people, and every soul who has denied self and made sacrifices to bring these institutions into existence should feel that he has a special interest in them*. He should not lose his interest or faith, or cease to pray for them. *Those who have sacrificed for these institutions should not submit to see them demoralized.* *They have a right to investigate.* As the perils of the last days are upon us, they should pray more earnestly.
Those men who lifted the burdens when the work went hard should be called into your councils. It is due them, and they should have a voice in the plans devised. *There should be no confederacy formed with unbelievers, neither should there be a certain number who think as you think*, and say *”amen”* to all your plans which you may propose. *No confederacies are to be formed among our own people after the manner and customs of the world. I was shown especially the dangers in doing this. The world is not to be our criterion*. Let the Lord work. Let the Lord’s voice be heard. We are to bear a clear-cut message to the world. We are not to heed the counsels to follow the plans which will be suggested to make less prominent the special truths which are of vital interest, which have separated us out from the world and made us what we are.
*Time is short*. The first, second, and third angel’s messages are the messages to be given to the world. We hear not literally the voice of the three angels, but these angels in Revelation represent a people who will be upon the earth and give these messages.
John saw *”Another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the whole earth was lightened with his glory.”* Revelation 18:1. That work is the voice of the people of God proclaiming a message of warning to the world. *Has God, through John, given us light relating to the things which are to transpire in the remnant of time just at the end? Then with pen and voice we are to proclaim that very message to the world, not in a tame, indistinct whisper*.
I have been instructed of the Lord that men who are bearing responsibilities in the work need the application of the heavenly anointing, which is the Spirit of God, to quicken and clear their discernment—for they certainly fail to discern sacred and eternal realities in their true significance. They make an atom of a world and a world of an atom.
*”For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in Mount Zion.”* Isaiah 8:11-18. 1888 925.2 – 1888 927.2
