Message 65<br />

 June 7, 1944 | 1:30 a.m. | 122 W. Sea Avenue | Independence,

Missouri<br />

<br />

 The Messenger of the Lord came to me at my home, 122 West Sea

Avenue, Independence, Missouri, about 1:30 a.m., June 7, 1944. He

was engulfed in light such as I assume the resurrected are

privileged to bear. He left the following

message:  W.A.DRAVES<br />

<br />

<br />

 1 Behold, I come again with a message of peace. Give it to the

brethren and the church.<br />

 2 Verily, the Lord has heard the prayers of the faithful who have

cried from the heart; therefore He has and will bless all that do

His will. Let all be calm and sedate in the Lord; not boastful nor

wise in their own conceit. Remember, love is your mission, to

preach and teach repentance with faith in God that salvation may

come to all who will hear and obey The Word of the Lord.<br />

 3 I am the Messenger of the Lord. I am sent to do His will. I

bring His words that mankind may know His way. Let all take courage

for the faithful shall not be confounded, but encouraged in the

Lord, for life cometh to the righteous in love.<br />

 4 Let there be added to the apostles: E. H. Ewing and W. F. Lewis.

Let them be set apart that they may take their place for the Lord

will point the way of the humble. Let the apostles and bishops

counsel together much and pray always that they may be guided in

the Lord's will.<br />

 5 Let there be added to the bishops: R. C. Moss and Newell Mead.

Let them know this is a great responsibility to carry. Teach all to

be dutiful in wisdom before God that their humility may be accepted

by both man and God.<br />

 6 Let Charles B. Hatch be set apart as an elder. Let him take the

message to others and the Lord will bless him. Let Thomas Evanson

prepare for his greater calling for the Lord will bless him. Let

all continue to carry on and the Lord will not forsake His

people.<br />

 7 Let The Voice of Peace go on to the ends of the earth that mercy

and justice may be found by those who will search. Be pleasant. Let

your light shine. As the Lord speaks answer by your actions.<br />

 8 I speak the will of Him that sent me. I am John the Baptist, the

servant of the Lord. Peace I leave with you and the church. I will

come again as the Lord will direct. Amen.<br />
