MESSAGE 25
MARCH 29, 1931
PORT HURON, MICHIGAN
The Messenger came to me at my home near Port Huron,
Michigan, Sunday evening, March 29, 1931. These are the words as he
gave them to me, and told me to write
them: OTTO FETTING
1 I have been sent to you from the Lord. Withhold not
the words of the Lord from the inhabitants of the earth. Hearken
and hear ye people, for the Lord your God has spoken to all
nations. Let no one stand between you and your God, lest you betray
the trust the Lord has placed upon you.
2 Some will not believe until destruction will come,
and they will suffer therefrom. Remember, you will be hated by
friends and loved ones, but for this cause were you born, for the
work that is to be done is so great that man cannot comprehend it,
for the glory of God shall yet be seen, and His power
manifested.
3 The Lord has sent me to warn the nations, and after
this warning will come destruction, wars, pestilence, famine, and
earthquakes, as never have been, for the Lord wants a holy
people.
4 The Church of Christ shall receive greater power as
I told you, and the Lord will draw the honest in heart to him by
His Spirit, and they shall keep His law, for the gospel of Christ
shall be preached to all nations and then shall the end come.
5 Go to the assembly in peace. Let your work be in
love, for Satan shall try to discourage, and seek to destroy. Many
will come to seek for truth. Let there be no contention among you,
for the Lord shall require peace at your hands.
6 Let the message be taken from nation to nation, from
state to state, from city to city, from house to house, from heart
to heart, for all must be warned of the things that will come to
pass.
7 There are those that doubt the message, and are
discouraged, but if they will keep the commandments of the Lord,
their reward is sure. There are those that are filled with
traditions of men, and are deprived of many blessings. There are
those that are a law unto themselves, they have no part in this
work, for the Lord will not accept of them and their works.
8 There are those that have been slothful in their
calling, and have treated lightly the message from the Lord. Let
them repent, lest Satan darken their minds and the Lord reject
them.
9 The Lord has seen your struggles, and the opposition
of Satan, to destroy you and the Lord's work. Much has been
accomplished, but greater work shall be done, for the time is
short. Remain humble, heed not the advice of men, nor your friends
or loved ones. Let those that hinder depart from you, for this is
the Lord's work.
10 I have been instructed to direct the Lord's work,
and the work that shall be done, and will come from time to time
and direct the Lord's people as in the days of Moses.
11 The evil forces will seek to destroy you, and the
Lord's work. The time will come when your life will be in greater
danger, like Elijah of old. As you meet in the assembly, counsel
not your God, but seek ye counsel and wisdom at His hands.
12 Despise not the young in their efforts, nor speak
ye lightly of the aged, for all must help, for the Lord will bless
the humble, and will reward those that seek Him in love.
13 The message I have brought from the Lord is to
Catholic and Protestant, to Jew and Gentile, to bond and free, for
all have gone away from the commandments of the Lord, and the Lord
is no respecter of persons.
14 Repent, ye ministers of pleasure, for your worship
is not of the heart, your prayers are only from the lips, and an
outward show, and this is an abomination unto the Lord. For your
effort is to get gain and your hearts are full of greed; therefore,
the wrath of God is kindled against the hypocrite, and the
hireling, for they shall receive the greater damnation, for the
Lord will send a scourge and destruction in the land; and He shall
cleanse the people of darkness and superstition and your mockery
shall come to an end.
15 Many have said, "Lord, Lord," yet they have their
idols in their heart, and will not follow in the ways of their God.
But the time will come when their cries shall be heard, when
through suffering they will learn obedience.
16 I will come to you and instruct in the work that
shall be done that all may labor in love. Let those that can take
the message, rid themselves of debt, and the burdens of life, that
they may be free to go as the Lord will direct.
17 Let each one save that the burdens may be
lightened, and that the gospel message may be taken to Mexico, to
Australia, to New Zealand.
18 Let William R. Dexter labor in Chicago, and the
regions round about, that the work may be started, and the warning
go to that wicked city, for many are honest in heart.
19 Let Thomas Bennett and Robert Wilkins be set apart
as elders in The Church of Christ, and let them labor in Toronto,
and the region round about, for many are honest in heart. But their
faith is weak and their hope has been blighted, because of the
conditions of the past, but let them remember as they labor, that
Satan will seek to tempt them, for he knows their weakness,
therefore be ye strong, lest you destroy yourself.
20 Let Henry Humphrey labor as he can. Let him take
the message from house to house. Let his work be in love, for many
will be brought to the light.
21 Save your strength, for the Lord has a great work
for His people. Be not discouraged, for the Lord will direct.
Amen.
