Testimonies for the Church Volume 7
says: “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”
Matthew
5:5
.
Such workers are to be encouraged. Their work is done, not to be
seen of men, but to glorify God. And it will bear His inspection. The
Lord brings these workers into connection with those of more marked
ability, to fill the gaps they leave. He is well pleased when they are
appreciated, for they are links in His chain of service.
Men who are self-important, who are filled with the thought of
their own superior abilities, overlook these humble, contrite workers;
but not for one moment does God lose sight of them. He marks all that
they do to help those in need of help. In the heavenly courts, when
the redeemed are gathered home, they will stand nearest the Son of
God. They will shine brightly in the courts of the Lord, honored by
Him because they have felt it an honor to minister to those for whom
He gave His life.

God will move upon men in humble positions to declare the mes-
sage of present truth. Many such will be seen hastening hither and
thither, constrained by the Spirit of God to give the light to those in
darkness. The truth is as a fire in their bones, filling them with a
[27]
burning desire to enlighten those who sit in darkness. Many, even
among the uneducated, will proclaim the word of the Lord. Children
will be impelled by the Holy Spirit to go forth to declare the message
of heaven. The Spirit will be poured out upon those who yield to His
promptings. Casting off man’s binding rules and cautious movements,
they will join the army of the Lord.

In the future, men in the common walks of life will be impressed
by the Spirit of the Lord to leave their ordinary employment and go
forth to proclaim the last message of mercy. As rapidly as possible
they are to be prepared for labor, that success may crown their efforts.
They co-operate with heavenly agencies, for they are willing to spend
and be spent in the service of the Master. No one is authorized to
hinder these workers. They are to be bidden Godspeed as they go forth
