Message 66<br />

 March 12, 1945 | 12:35 a.m. - 2:40 a.m. | Vancouver,

Washington<br />

<br />

 This was given to me by the Messenger 12:35 to 2:40 a.m., Monday,

March 12, 1945, at Vancouver, Washington.<br />

 The Messenger was dressed in the white robe he has worn on

previous occasions. His whole body radiated a powerful light that

filled the room. His face shone with brightness and his feet as

fine brass. He spoke calmly and with power. He sat in a rocking

chair while giving the most of the message, though he arose while

speaking the words of the Lord spoke through

him.  W.A.DRAVES<br />

<br />

 1 Arise my fellow servant and take the message I shall give you.

Be not afraid, I bring you peace. Rejoice in the peace of God.

Great shall be the joy in the hearts of all that hear and obey the

message and words I bring from the Lord your God.<br />

 2 Behold, I am the servant of the Lord, the blessed one sent of

God. I come from His presence and my name is John. I am the same

that was and is called the Baptist. I am the Elias. I bring the

Elijah message many have looked for. I bring words of the Lord. I

bring a warning.<br />

 3 Come out of her is my cry. For thus I am sent to fulfill the

words of the prophets.<br />

 4 My message is to all mankind. Rise up, hear my voice, give ear

unto my speech ye nations of the earth.<br />

 5 The Lord has used His liberal servant, he that has held this

nation in America to be at peace with others. God has given him

power; the liberal to devise liberal things, for by liberal things

he shall be caused to stand. The Lord knoweth this nation whose

fire is in Zion. With His fierceness in battle shall greatly assist

in the destroying of the wicked and her root and<br />

 branch. God has set the man at the head of this nation that it

might be caused to be brought about that the world may have peace

established from one end to the other.<br />

 6 Be troubled, ye evil of the world. Strip yourselves, make bare

your house for your pleasant fields are made waste your evils shall

count your days, and your days are numbered for your time is short,

because you despise the Lord's words and trust in oppression and

doleful perverseness; thus your breaking shall come suddenly as at

an instant. Your idols shall fade away and through the voice of the

Lord the Assyrian shall fall.<br />

 7 You have seen the evils of man. You have seen the destructions

and wars as I told you. The plague of death in war has taken many.

The Lord knows the hearts of His people, all those that shall be

His in that day.<br />

 8 Let the church continue on with great power for thus is my

message, that the earth may be filled with the glory of my coming

for the Lord has sent me and I come from His presence.<br />

 9 Let the faithful rejoice for I come at the Lord's command for

the Lord has heard their prayers and will bless.<br />

 10 There are those that have written letters of contempt which

Satan has inspired, entering the heart of man and spreading

mistrust and doubt among the people of the Lord. Let such speedily

repent. Already from such the Lord has withdrawn His Spirit because

of the prophesying of man. Fear not those that seek revenge.<br />

 11 The Lord in all ages has chosen man to do His bidding. Some

humble themselves and have been and are true, others listen and

have listened to the whisperings of Satan and where are they? Man

may choose whom he will serve. Some have become evil and are as

wolves in sheep's clothing. Fear them not and have no part with

them. Therefore, except they repent let them have no part in this

work. Some will yet repent, others will go to destruction.<br />

 12 The Lord is pleased with the work of the bishops in that they

have obeyed in seeking to establish this work more firmly that

those of the world will not deceive you. The Lord has blessed many

because of their faith and humility before Him and the people. He

is pleased with the humility of those that seek to establish peace.

He has blessed His servant Stone with godly wisdom and knowledge

that he may steer aright The Voice of Peace, and that contentions

will not have way therein. Let him continue. Let the people

continue the glad tidings that it may be sent to the end of the

earth bringing joy and gladness to many. The Lord will touch the

hearts that are honest and bring them to find joy and life in His

will.<br />

 13 There are those who set themselves up to be clean and holy but

their hearts are full of raging evils. The skeptic and the scorner

and those that seek to use the Spirit of God, all such, the Lord by

His Spirit cannot use.<br />

 14 Fear not those that set themselves up, seeking that I come to

them for they shall lose and that which they have shall be taken

from them. It is not theirs to choose.<br />

 15 The Lord has sent me to you with the instructions, therefore

keep sacred your trust. The Lord has seen favor in you in that you

deny not my coming. Fear not those who set themselves against you,

nor those that form a band to destroy you and the message of life I

bring from the Lord your God. I speak His will.<br />

 16 They that go about teaching pervert things to set in order are

not of the Lord, for they bring discord and destroy the faith in

subversive teachings. Fear not for such will not save you.<br />

 17 Let all pay their oblations to the Lord in tithes and in

offerings. Let Savage continue to receive the moneys that they may

be safe in the hands of the bishops.<br />

 18 Let Fred H. Bartlett be set apart as an apostle. The Lord has

reserved him for a great cause. The Lord will more abundantly pour

out His Spirit that this work may be accomplished and the message

of life taken that the Bride might be prepared.<br />

 19 Let E. H. Tiffin be added to the bishops. Let him continue

humble before the Lord and He will bless him and great peace shall

be with him in his work. Let T. R. Jenkins be at work as much as

possible for an awakening will come. The Lord has heard his prayers

and will bless him and those he labors amongst.<br />

 20 Let His servant Callin come into this work and be set apart as

an elder, moreover as an evangelist. The Lord has preserved him for

this cause that he might bring life and peace to many.<br />

 21 The Lord has spoken and it is His will that His young servants

Blackmon and Grigsby take up their work as elders. Let the work in

all lands be carried in love and power for many are pleading to

know God's will.<br />

 22 Some will turn against this work because of this message. Many

will be strengthened. Send it to the church and the brethren. Many

have<br />

 prayed in humility and the Lord has heard their cry. Thus let

peace be unto them and the church.<br />

 23 Behold, this is Christ's church and shall be His Bride, the

remnant. She shall be made ready. The message is given-the

authority is entrusted with man. The call goes out; the cry is

given. The warning must be heard. The work must be carried

on.<br />

 24 Thus saith the Lord, "Heed ye the words of my patience and I

will deliver thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon

all the world to try mankind. Behold, I come quickly. Hold fast in

faith that which I have given thee that no man take it from thee. I

am the Lord and I give my word that it may bring life. My words

shall judge you in the last day. I am the Christ, your Lord and

Savior. I am the God of the living. Those that drink of the water

of life I give shall never thirst," saith the Lord.<br />

 25 I have come from the Lord's presence and will come again.

Amen.<br />
