<br />

 The Messenger of the Lord, the Elias, appeared to me Wednesday,

August 21st, 1963, at my home 1500 West Lexington St.,

Independence, Missouri. The light of the Lord was with him and

filled the room. He bid me arise. He appeared at 4:05 a.m. and left

at 4:50 a.m.  W.A.DRAVES<br />

<br />

<br />

 1 Behold! Arise and write the words I will give you for the

servants of the Lord and the church.<br />

 2 I am your fellow servant. I am the Elias which was for to come.

I am the forerunner of the Christ, which is to return to claim His

Bride -the church.<br />

 3 Let her make ready and be prepared, for lo, this is my work to

work in the vineyard with the people of the Lord.<br />

 4 The Lord accepts the work of the faithful and those that love

truth.<br />

 5 Behold! How great and good it is to defend the words I bring.

Let them be preserved, and prepared accurately as I give them to

you, as you have done in the past.<br />

 6 Let all trim their lamps and fill their souls with the Spirit of

God that their works may stand the test.<br />

 7 Trials will come and burdens heavy, but the Lord is your yoke

and peace and it shall flow like a river of light and life.<br />

 8 Let peace be restored to the weary, but let them obey and defend

my message-the words I bring from the Lord's presence.<br />

 9 Let all that can be in the field.<br />

 10 Let Howard Leighton-Floyd be in the field of work as the Lord

by His Spirit will direct.<br />

 11 Let E. Sykes be in the work in foreign fields. The Lord will

prepare the way before him. As much as possible let the companions

go also.<br />

 12 Let Albert Leighton-Floyd know the Lord will use him and the

way will open for greater works in taking the gospel to many.<br />

 13 Let R. G. Newby be in the field as much as possible and aid the

brethren in establishing the work elsewhere.<br />

 14 Send help to North Carolina for the field is white unto

harvest.<br />

 15 Let the translations continue. Let the word go out fast and

far. The way grows in need. Hasten!<br />

 16 Let Warren Foskett study the Spanish that he may go to many to

aid in the work.<br />

 17 Save to the uttermost.<br />

 18 Let Newell Mead know the Lord knows his faith and restores the

eldership unto him in light and power of the Lord.<br />

 19 Let Kenneth Swanson be set apart an elder and the peace and

power will come to him to defend my words and teach salvation unto

others. He may help, steer aright others and bring them to defend

this cause.<br />

 20 Build a house unto the Lord as the way opens and many will flow

unto it in this cause.<br />

 21 Command peace and it will come to you one and all.<br />

 22 "Behold! Hearken! Would my people hear," saith the Lord, "if I

speak in peace and power? Will they fill their vessels with oil?

The cup of the Lord runneth over.<br />

 23 "Establish the work with a firm hand. Let not the holy rites be

trampled on. Let all who come to this great light come in by the

door and lift their faith to me," saith the Lord, "for I will be

with you all the way."<br />

 24 Let Lloyd Ford know the Lord has put on him to carry the word

to those near and around<br />

 about; for there are those that seek truth and will hear and obey.

Hasten! Be up and doing.<br />

 25 Give this to the brethren and the church. Publish it and peace

will follow.<br />

 26 Be calm, be firm and let all know the Lord sees their faith and

knows their hearts are filled with love.<br />

 27 Peace I leave with all that believe and obey and defend this

cause-the words I bring. Amen.<br />
