Message 59<br /></b><br />

 January 29, 1943 | - 2:30 a.m.<br />

 520 W. Lexington Street | Independence, Missouri<br />

<br />

 On Wednesday morning, January 27, 1943, the Messenger John,

appeared in my room at 1:15 a.m., and said, Fear not, I will come

again. In a few seconds he was gone, and again on January 29, 1943,

John the Baptist, the same Messenger of the Lord, appeared to me at

my room, 520 West Lexington Street, Independence, Missouri, and

gave the following message. He spoke slowly and distinctly. I wrote

as he gave it. He left at 2:30 a.m.  W.A.DRAVES<br />

<br />

 1 Behold I come to you again. Arise and take the message I will

give you.<br />

 2 I am your fellow servant, and my name is John. I am the

Messenger of the Lord. I have come in the past, and I shall come to

you in the future. Fear not, for this is the Lord's work, and I

have come at His appointing. I have come to you and not to others.

This is your calling; therefore, be faithful and true, and deny not

my coming.<br />

 3 I have brought a warning of Christ's soon coming, and the

authority that the church may be established as the Lord would have

it, that mankind might find a way of redemption. For salvation only

comes to those that are humble and full of love and obey the will

of the Lord. My message is one of love to those that heed and obey

it.<br />

 4 I cried repentance in the days that are past, my message is

repentance today. Let all men repent of their sins and selfish

ways, for sin cannot receive the glory of God nor the power of the

Lamb slain. Except they repent they cannot be redeemed from that

awful state. For the Lord has prepared the way of redemption and He

has spoken. It is Christ's words that shall judge all men,

therefore, He cannot use man of his own way, for man's heart is

filled with selfishness.<br />

 5 Preach repentance, and baptisms, that the honest of heart may

come unto the Lord. This message is to all nations. Contend not

over the evils of man, but send the message I bring to the ends of

the earth. Many shall yet turn to serve the Lord with full purpose

of heart.<br />

 6 I have warned you, that you have no part in contention, for

contention will darken the mind. Heed the instructions I bring and

it will be well with you. As I speak to you I speak to all.<br />

 7 There are those that have prayed that I come. In the anguish and

distress of their souls the Lord has heard their cry for He knows

the prayers that are of the heart. Man cannot glory of himself in

this work.<br />

 8 There are those that have been true and will yet be true. The

Lord will bless them greatly in His sight and in this work. There

are those that betray one another and have not been true. Their

hearts are filled with selfishness, greed, jealousy and hate. They

despise you and the message I bring.<br />

 9 While there are those that are true much has not been done that

I have instructed. Let them speedily carry on the instructions I

have brought and bring from time to time from the Lord God. For I

speak His words and His will and it shall be done.<br />

 10 The Lord is the resurrection and the life. He that believeth on

Him and obeys His will shall have right to the tree of life and to

eternity, and in them shall be seen the glory of God, for Christ

came to redeem and to provide the way. Therefore, I come to point

the way and that The Church of Christ, the Lamb's Bride, may be

prepared to meet Him when He comes, when all men will live to serve

the Lord, that the millennium reign shall be. And the great day of

the Lord shall come, when all the earth shall rejoice and be glad

for a new heaven and a new earth shall be in the Lord's

planning.<br />

 11 Send the message to the church and to all. This is the way for

mankind to find eternal peace, to endure to the end.<br />

 12 There are those you love who will turn against you and make

offense for a word. Some will repent, others will go to

destruction; some their end will be sad; yet the work of the Lord

shall go on for they must know the Lord has spoken.<br />

 13 Let the messages I bring be published. Let them go to all the

world. Fear not man, nor his ways. Some the Lord has entrusted with

responsibility, know not His Spirit nor His goodness. Have no part

with those that oppose and deny my coming for they deny the

authority and trust the Lord has given them and the Lord will call

others to take their places that the work may go on.<br />

 14 Let those that oppose and hinder have no part in this work for

they are not of the faithful and will not be of the Bride of

Christ.<br />

 15 The Lord has spoken and plead with many but there are those in

their selfish way who set themselves up and seek to destroy the

truth and the good of this work, while others heed and obey and

work with all their might to carry on the Lord's work. Let them be

not discouraged, but let them continue and the Spirit shall comfort

them and bring the greater peace, for the Lord knows the hearts

that are honest. Though you may be hated by loved ones and those

you labor among, deny not this work nor the message I bring for it

is to all mankind in all the world, and those that heed and obey,

enduring unto the end the same shall be the Bride of Christ.<br />

 16 Teach men everywhere faith, repentance and baptisms. Let the

hands be laid on all that the plan of God may be complete and that

they may be fit and worthy for the Spirit to dwell with them.<br />

 17 Fear not what men may say of you, but be true and humble and

the faithful will uphold you.<br />

 18 This is the Lord's work and I am His Messenger sent to bring

the warning. Will mankind heed it that their feet may be guided in

the way of peace and away from the shadow of death out of confusion

and darkness into life eternal?<br />

 19 Hear Ye! And let humility be your mantle and ye shall no more

be confounded, for I come, saith the Lord, that deliverance might

be.<br />

 20 Publish this message with the rest. Withhold them not.<br />

 21 I will come again and direct in this work, be humble, be at

peace, let love fill your lives and humility be the mantle for

all.<br />

 22 To you my fellow servant, the Lord knows your heart, and

repentance. Be not deceived by man, be obedient, trusting the Lord

and He shall be your strength. I speak to you, and for all that

mankind may know the Lord has spoken.<br />

 23 The days of judgments are upon all men and a way of deliverance

for the just shall be. Watch against the days to come. Pray always.

Amen.<br />
