Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers
* * * * *
Let those in every far-off country work unselfishly in the fear
and love of God to advance the work; as missionaries for God, they
can do much for it if they are connected with Him. They should
draw nigh to God with full assurance of faith, lifting up holy hands,
without wrath or doubting. God will make known unto them His
pleasure; but all who do not work with an eye single to the glory
of God, making Him their dependence and trust, who lean rather
upon human wisdom, will make blunders. It is in doing the work
of God that the richest experience is to be gained. Here is where
you get wisdom, and find the promises of God verified.—

The Victorious Life

death.]
Sanitarium, California,
June 14, 1914
Dear Friend,
The Lord has given me a message for you, and not for you only,
but also for other faithful souls who are troubled by doubts and fears
regarding their acceptance by the Lord Jesus Christ. His word to
you is, “Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy
name; thou art Mine.” You desire to please the Lord, and you can
do this by believing His promises. He is waiting to take you into a
harbor of gracious experience, and He bids you, “Be still, and know
that I am God.” You have had a time of unrest; but Jesus says to you,
“Come unto Me, ... and I will give you rest.” The joy of Christ in
the soul is worth everything. “Then are they glad,” because they are
privileged to rest in the arms of everlasting love.
Put away your distrust of our heavenly Father. Instead of talking
of your doubts, break away from them in the strength of Jesus, and
let light shine into your soul by letting your voice express confidence
and trust in God. I know that the Lord is very nigh to give you
victory, and I say to you, Be helped, be strengthened, be lifted out of
