Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers
the people who think they know so much. “If thou hadst known,”
said Christ, “even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which
belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.”
The Light of Truth
Nevertheless, the foundation of God standeth sure. The Lord
knoweth them that are His. The sanctified minister must have no
guile in his mouth. He must be open as the day, free from every taint
of evil. A sanctified ministry and press will be a power in flashing
the light of truth on this untoward generation. Light, brethren, more
light we need. Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm in the holy
mountain. Gather the host of the Lord, with sanctified hearts, to hear
what the Lord will say unto His people; for He has increased light
for all who will hear. Let them be armed and equipped, and come
up to the battle—to the help of the Lord against the mighty. God
Himself will work for Israel. Every lying tongue will be silenced.
Angels’ hands will overthrow the deceptive schemes that are being
formed. The bulwarks of Satan will never triumph. Victory will
attend the third angel’s message. As the Captain of the Lord’s host
tore down the walls of Jericho, so will the Lord’s commandment-
keeping people triumph, and all opposing elements be defeated. Let
no soul complain of the servants of God who have come to them
with a heaven-sent message. Do not any longer pick flaws in them,
saying, “They are too positive; they talk too strongly.” They may
talk strongly; but is it not needed? God will make the ears of the
hearers tingle if they will not heed His voice or His message. He
will denounce those who resist the word of God.

Men of Opportunity
Satan has laid every measure possible that nothing shall come
among us as a people to reprove and rebuke us, and exhort us to
put away our errors. But there is a people who will bear the ark
of God. Some will go out from among us who will bear the ark
no longer. But these cannot make walls to obstruct the truth; for it
will go onward and upward to the end. In the past God has raised
up men, and He still has men of opportunity waiting, prepared to
do His bidding—men who will go through restrictions which are
