Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers
everyone that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the
sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and a great was the fall of
it.” Many houses now supposed to stand secure will fall. The Lord
declares that He will not accept divided service.
Precious Words of Warning and Promise
If you will take heed to the words of warning found in the chap-
ters that I am directed to present before you, you will change your
attitude, and become children of God. Thus you may save your souls
through faith in Jesus Christ. You will receive the counsel given in
the fifty-eight chapter of Isaiah. If you will follow the directions
marked out, the promise will be fulfilled: “Then shall thy light break
forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and
thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be
thy rearward. Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou
shalt cry, and He shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the
[127]
midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking
vanity; and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the
afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness
be as the noonday: and the Lord shall guide thee continually, and
satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt
be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters
fail not.”
Take up your appointed work. The Lord will fulfill the promise
on His part. These inspired scriptures would never have been given
to you if the Lord had not had confidence that you could do all that
He has required. You can heed the invitation, “Take My yoke upon
you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall
find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is
light.”
You may rise to the heights to which the Holy Spirit calls you.
True religion means living the word in your practical life. Your
profession is not of any value without the practical doing of the word.
“If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross daily, and follow Me.” This is the condition of discipleship.
