Convincing Evidence Accompanies the Message Inspired by God
When the Lord gives a man a message, He gives with it something
whereby His people may know that the message is from Him. God
does not ask his people to believe everyone who comes to them with a
message.
The Lord sends warnings to His people, not to destroy them, but
to correct their errors
We are living in perilous times. From the light I have, I know that
Satan is trying to bring in that which will make people think they have
a wonderful work to do. But when God gives a man a message, that
man, by his meekness and lowliness, will give evidence that God is
working through him. God lives and reigns, and He desires us to walk
before Him in humility. He does not wish this man N to force himself
before a congregation....
We are not going to be interrupted in meeting after meeting by
those who claim they have a message to deliver. He who presses
himself forward into a place where he is not wanted is not doing the
work of God. We are to work like soldiers in an army. We are not
to step out of the ranks, and begin to work on our own account.—
