I say to thee, Brother Berve, thy heavenly Father has brought thee to this place to take this position. Thou art called upon to be among my people. I know it is a trying one, but if thou wilt be faithful and diligent, I will be with thee and bless thee. Thou shalt be a father to my young people. Fear not what may come to thee; I will be thy help and they strength. I know of thee and what thou wast capable of doing among my people, and this is as much a part of thy work in my ministry as preaching the gospel, and I will bless thee in al thy ministerial service among my people. Thou hast been troubled with many discouragements, but I will be with thee.

Therefore, I admonish thee, in all these trying conditions that will come to thee, from time to time, to cultivate that patience which is necessary to enable thee to become successful in thy work.. Go to thy secret chamber frequently, and I will listen to thy prayers, and my Spirit shall rest upon thee, and I will bless thee among my people in all thy work.

Be not afraid of those who may be jealous of thy success. Therefore, fear not; but let thy heart be cheered and thy soul be glad; for thy heavenly Father will be thy friend indeed.

And unto you, my Saints, our Father says to you, It is pleasing to me for you to gather together in my service. I have spoken to you of late by the manifestations of my Holy Spirit, as I am doing in the gatherings of my people in many places. This is the hastening time, when troubles and distress and turmoil and strife are abroad in the land, and it is nearing the time when my people desire to gather together, and this is the reason that my Spirit rests upon them, and they are longing everywhere, from the farthermost parts of the earth, that are in my gospel, to gather unto the land of Zion; but they can not be gathered unless they are individually prepared as well as the church, according to my commandments.

Let us not forget that our Father has said in the revelations to his church, It must be done in mine own way. No other way can I accept but that which I have revealed in my law for the good of my people, and under no other condition or circumstances can that equality be brought about that you so earnestly sought for and hope for, and many are longing to understand and participate in.

Therefore I will pour out my Spirit, not only upon the membership of my church, but upon my ministry also, so that they will be better able to unfold the true interpretations of my law and commandments for the salvation of my people, for the glory of my truth, and for the well-being of Zion. Therefore, I say unto you, my children, be faithful, be patient, be prayerful; shun the things that are a sin in my sight, and nothing shall prevent you from overcoming in your warfare against sin, and my blessing shall fall upon you like a benediction from heaven, so that as a people you shall rejoice in my truth and be mine if you are faithful to the end. Amen.
