Ever-Widening Influence of the Gospel
Belting the Earth—Everywhere the light of truth is to shine forth,
that hearts now in the sleep of ignorance may be awakened and con-
verted. In all countries and cities the gospel is to be proclaimed....
Churches are to be organized and plans laid for work to be done by
the members of the newly organized churches. This gospel missionary
work is to keep reaching out and annexing new territory, enlarging the
cultivated portions of the vineyard. The circle is to extend until it belts
the world.—
Letter 86, 1902
.
North, South, East, and West—From town to town, from city to
city, from country to country, the warning message is to be proclaimed,
not with outward display, but in the power of the Spirit, by men of
faith.
And it is necessary that the best kind of labor be given. The time
has come, the important time, when, through God’s messengers, the
scroll is being unrolled to the world. The truth comprised in the first,
second, and third angels’ messages must go to every nation, kindred,
tongue, and people; it must lighten the darkness of every continent and
extend to the islands of the sea....
Let there be the wisest planning for the success of the work. De-
cided efforts should be made to open new fields in the north, the south,
[20]
the east, and the west.... The fact that the presentation of the truth has
been so long neglected should appeal to our ministers and workers
to enter these fields and not give up the work until they have clearly
given the message.—
Manuscript 11, 1908
.
Unchecked by Barriers or Obstacles—Truth, passing by those
who despise and reject it, will triumph. Although at times apparently
retarded, its progress had never been checked. When the message of
God meets with opposition, He gives it additional force, that it may
exert greater influence. Endowed with divine energy, it will cut its way
through the strongest barriers, and triumph over every obstacle.—
The
Acts of the Apostles, 601
(1911).
