Verily, thus saith the Spirit to my Saints, surely they are had in remembrance by the Great I Am, and inasmuch as they will walk humbly and faithfully before me they shall be blessed of the Lord in basket and store, and enjoy a greater degree of my Spirit than they have hitherto been able to receive.

There have been contentions and envyings and many evils entered into by those professing my name that are not pleasing to me, and except my people put away those evils and cease their contentions, they must needs suffer at my hand saith their God.

Now, therefore, lay aside all evil surmisings and learn to be kind-hearted towards the wayward, and pray for each other, and my people shall have great joy in seeing their sick ones healed, and their lame ones restored, the blind see, the deaf hear, for I am God and can not countenance evil in any form. Therefore be ye clean and pure in heart that ye may behold my face ere long, and have exceeding great joy at that day; for surely the time is very near when I shall visit my Bride; and blessed are the wise virgins at that day, for they shall behold me, and know that I am he who was slain for the whole world.

Now, verily, let all my Saints know of a surety that my purpose must be carried out in mine own way. According as my word has gone forth so shall it stand.

Though the heavens and earth shall pass away my word shall not, but must be fulfilled; and blessed are those who give a listening ear to my counsel, and who obey my word.

Given this Sunday morning, the 30th day of October, 1910. O. N. Dutton
