 103 South Pendleton | Independence, Missouri<br />

<br />

 At 1:10 a.m., June 9, 1938, at my room, 103 S. Pendleton,

Independence, Missouri, the Messenger awoke me and

said:  W.A.DRAVES<br />

 1 Arise and take the instructions I shall give you. I come to you

at this home at this time. I come to you with this message that you

might give it to the church.<br />

 2 I speak to the people of the Lord, those that have heard the

midnight cry.<br />

 3 The cries of my people have come up before me, and I have heard

their humble plea, saith your God, Yea, I am pleading for you to

continue to come close unto me. Behold many have obeyed me in that

they have come humbly to the assembly. I led you here one and all

and my wish is that you remain very humble before me; then I will

continue to bless you and lead you close unto me. Be very humble

that the sunlight of righteousness from the Lamb of God may shine

on you with healing in His power.<br />

 4 Yea, to those who have not yet covenanted with me, this is the

way that shall lead you to life eternal.<br />

 5 To my servants, yea, I have given you testimonies of this work

and of the words that come from my presence even through my

Messenger of this time, through one of my choosing. Remember, my

ways are not man's ways, and none shall understand but by my

Spirit, saith your Lord.<br />

 6 Hearken: I say to my servants, be ye up and doing; go to the

fields as the way will be open before you; I plead with you to

labor in unison for my cause.<br />

 7 Let my quorum of twelve apostles be filled. Let my servants

Belcher and Parkinson be added to the quorum that the quorum of

twelve apostles might be filled. Let these men labor as they can,

and as soon as they can adjust conditions in their homes, go to the

fields, as my Spirit will direct, for my harvest is great and the

sheaves ungathered. Let them prepare in deep humility of the soul

for this place in my church and not yield to pride's temptation.

Let my servant W. C. Wilson, prepare to fill a place in the quorum

of twelve when a vacancy comes. For lo, He is my servant and I have

heard his prayers that are of the heart, and I will be with him in

great power. Yea, I have strengthened his faith in this work. Let

him take his place in the field of labor and labor even now, as I

will manifest by my Spirit unto him.<br />

 8 Yea, let the many of my servants arise to their calling. Speak

words of truth in soberness and I will see your solemnness; I will

bless you with my Spirit as you carry my message to the ears of

men. This is my work, saith the Lord, and I shall reward thee for

thy labors. But verily hasten or I shall call others to take your

place.<br />

 9 Let my servant Lacey continue to labor among the people of his

color. I have heard his humble prayer which is of the heart; I know

his willingness to serve me; and I shall fill him with power by my

Spirit. Lo the time will come when his eyes shall be opened and he

shall see. Great shall be his joy for his faithfulness before me.

Let your brother, Johnston, prepare himself for the field, as he

shall labor among his people also. Teach my full law in all

things.<br />

 10 Behold, it is my will that my servant, A. W. Bogue, remain in

the office. I will bless him, and he shall not want for food. Hear

ye my servants for I am God, I change not. Blessed art thou to obey

my voice.<br />

 11 These words I leave with you and bid you give them unto mine

apostles and church; give them not to the world as yet.<br />

 12 My name is John, I shall come again.<br />
