Warnings and Reproofs
101
Brother V, you possess qualifications which would make you of
special service in the church at-----, or in any other church, were
your talents devoted to the upbuilding of the cause of God. I saw that
your children were now in a state to be impressed with the truth, and
Jesus was pleading for you, Brother V: “Spare him a little longer.”
I was shown that if you were converted to the truth, you would
[111]
make a pillar in the church, and could honor God by your influence,
sanctified through the truth.
I saw angels of mercy hovering about Brother V. I was shown
that he was greatly deceived in the moral worth and standing before
God of that class who have withdrawn from the body. A few honest
ones are among them; these will be rescued; but the most of them
have long been unconsecrated in heart, and the close testimonies
have been in their way, a yoke of bondage to them. They have
thrown off the yoke and retained their corrupt ways. God calls upon
you to separate from them. Cut loose from these whose delight it is
to war against the truth of God. A little from this, true character will
be developed. They are of that class who love and make a lie.
If your whole interest is in the truth and the preparatory work for
this time you will be sanctified through the truth and receive a fitness
for immortality. You are in danger of being too exacting with your
children and not as patient as is necessary. The thorough work of
preparation must go on with all who profess the truth, until we stand
before the throne of God without fault, without a spot, or wrinkle,
or any such thing. God will cleanse you if you will submit to the
purifying process.
