Message 51<br /></b><br />

Missouri<br />

<br />

 The Messenger of the Lord appeared to me at my room, 526 West

Maple Street, lndependence, Missouri, 2:30 o'clock a.m., June 11,

1941. He commanded me to arise and take the message that he would

give and I obeyed. He said:  W.A.DRAVES<br />

<br />

<br />

 1 Behold, I come again to give instructions to the church. The

Lord your God has sent me. I come from His presence and my name is

John. I am the Messenger of the Lord. I speak His words.<br />

 2 I come that the plan of God will be fulfilled, for the words the

prophets of old have spoken shall come to pass. Let this message be

sent to the ends of the earth, and the gospel preached, for the

Lord will reveal to the honest in heart of His truth and of my

coming that the work may be established.<br />

 3 The Lord God hears the prayers of those that seek Him. He has

heard the prayers of His servants and the plea of His people.<br />

 4 Therefore, the new light is promised. Continue to prepare for

it. The greater your understanding the greater your work shall be.

All must sanctify their lives unto the Lord, for sin cannot receive

the glory of the Lord nor the power of the Lamb slain.<br />

 5 Some do not understand but let them be humble and the greater

light shall come in its fullness. Live in the Lord, walk in the way

of salvation. The Lord has not yet entrusted the greatest unto His

servants, but it shall be, for all must learn the full plan of

God.<br />

 6 As I have told you, there are those that are called for special

work. There are those that have been raised up that this work might

be carried on. Many have been true, some have not. The hearts that

are honest before the Lord will find place with him as they obey

His wise design.<br />

 7 Fear not, the words I bring are from the Lord. I speak at His

command. Greater things shall be revealed for in principle and in

power by the Spirit of the Lord all righteousness shall be brought

about.<br />

 8 Thus saith the Lord your God,  Let my servant Emmanuel

G. Glaeser come into this work and take up his calling and I will

be with him. Lo, I have raised him up for my cause. I will bless

his home and those of his loved ones, for in joy they shall know I

have spoken.<br />

 9 Come all ye faithful and I will open the way before you, I will

bless your efforts, and my Spirit shall fill your souls with

joy.<br />

 10 I have sent my servant John to reveal my will and he shall yet

come, as much shall be done; for this work was he born, to prepare

the way before me. I am your Lord, I change not. I speak to the

ends of the earth. Repent ye, for my kingdom is among men.<br />

 11 Let peace dwell in your hearts for I shall quicken many and my

plan shall be fulfilled, saith your Lord.<br />

 12 Let these men come into this work in full purpose of heart and

take up their work as elders. Let them be set apart: C. D.

McCormack, Carl Franks, H. E. Bryant, A. R. Rendon, A. F. Brace, J.

E. Taylor, W. N. Lemmon and Paul Costa. The Lord has heard their

prayers and felt after them. He will bless them if they will heed

His voice; for this is the great responsibility given to man. Let

William L. Davis take up his work.<br />

 13 Let Charles B. Harvey and J. W. Derr be set apart as elders for

the Lord has need of them. Let Arthur Sheldon be set apart as a

deacon. Let Martin Case, as an evangelist, be in the field.<br />

 14 Let more be sent into the field for the harvest is white

therefore, as much as possible let all be up and doing.<br />

 15 The Lord knows your burdens. He will provide. Fear not man,

this is the Lord's work and I will come to direct as the Lord your

God will command. By His Spirit He will search the hearts of

mankind, and the greater light and power shall be among you as you

prepare for it.<br />

 16 I come from the presence of the Lord. I am your fellow servant

and my name is John. I am the Elias. I cried repentance in the

wilderness. Again I cry repentance that the plan of God might be

fulfilled. Be watchful unto prayer and the Lord will hear you and

much shall yet be done to the glory of God.<br />

 17 Let your faith be firm as Job, who humbled himself before

God.<br />

 18 The words I speak are for the church. Give them to the

brethren. Let them be sent that the message of life and Christ's

soon coming may go to all mankind.<br />

 19 I leave peace with you and the church.<br />

 20 I shall come again.
