2. Papers and books are the Lord's means of
keeping the message for this time
continually before the people. In
enlightening and confirming souls in the
truth, the publications will do a far greater
work than can be accomplished by the
ministry of the word alone. Christian
Service, 145

Caused by Gideon’s call
Preachers like Gideon will in these

straight and startling character, that
many are going to rise up against it
and be shaken out.

Just as long as God has a church, he will have those
who will cry aloud and spare not, who will be his
instruments to reprove selfishness and sins, and will not
shun to declare the whole counsel of God, whether men
will hear or forbear. I saw that individuals would rise up
against the plain testimonies. It does not suit their natural
feelings. They would choose to have smooth things
spoken unto them, and have peace cried in their ears.
I view the church in a more dangerous condition than they
ever have been. Experimental religion is known but by a
few. The shaking must soon take place to purify the
church. {Spiritual Gifts vol. 2, 284.1}

Preachers should have no scruples to preach the truth as it
is found in God's word. Let the truth cut. I have been shown
that why ministers have not more success is, they are afraid
of hurting feelings, fearful of not being courteous, and they
lower the standard of truth, and conceal if possible the
peculiarity of our faith. I saw that God could not make such
successful. The truth must be made pointed, and the
necessity of a decision urged. And as false shepherds are
crying, Peace, and are preaching smooth things, the
servants of God must cry aloud, and spare not, and leave
the result with God. {{Spiritual Gifts vol. 2, 284.2}

Ministers who are preaching present truth should not
neglect the solemn message to the Laodiceans. The
testimony of the True Witness is not a smooth message.
…The True Witness declares that when you suppose
you are really in a good condition of prosperity, you are
in need of everything. . . . Because Christ bears this
rebuking testimony, shall we suppose that he is
destitute of tender love to his people?—O, no! He who
died to redeem man from death, loves with a divine
love, and those whom he loves he rebukes. “As many
as I love, I rebuke and chasten.” [Revelation 3:19.]

I asked the meaning of the shaking I had seen
and was shown that it would be caused by the
straight testimony called forth by the counsel of
the True Witness to the Laodiceans. This will
have its effect upon the heart of the receiver,
and will lead him to exalt the standard and pour
forth the straight truth. Some will not bear this
straight testimony. They will rise up against it,
and this is what will cause a shaking among
God's people. {EW 270.2}

In the absence of the persecution there have drifted into
our ranks men who appear sound and their Christianity
unquestionable, but who, if persecution should arise,
would go out from us. … When the law of God is made
void, the church will be sifted by fiery trials, and a larger
proportion than we now anticipate will give heed to
seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. Instead of being
strengthened when brought into strait places, many
prove that they are not living branches of the true Vine,
they bear no fruit, and the husbandman taketh them
away. . {Evangelism, 360.4}

It is a solemn statement that I make

20. A Very Important Health Principle!!
“The brain is the organ and
instrument of the mind, and controls the
whole body. In order for the other parts
of the system to be healthy, the brain
must be healthy. And in order for the
brain to be healthy, the blood must be
pure, If by correct habits of eating and
drinking the blood is kept pure, the
brain will be properly nourished. Medical
Ministry pg. 291
21. For us to have good
thoughts we must have a
healthy brain, to have a
healthy brain, we must
have pure blood.

committed will be a part of
God’s last day people.”
Who will compose God’s last

“So God will allow His people
to go through a test.”
24. God needs a set of people who are serious. We show
how serious we are in how we eat, drink and live.
Are we being trained or are we doing as we feel?
Who will compose God’s last
day people?
“That’s why the Sunday law
will first put pressure on our
access to buy and sell.”
25. As religious aggression subverts the liberties of our
nation, those who would stand for freedom of
conscience will be placed in unfavorable positions. For
their own sake, they should, while they have
opportunity, become intelligent in regard to disease, its
causes, prevention, and cure. And those who do this
will find a field of labor anywhere. There will be
suffering ones, plenty of them, who will need help, not
only among those of our own faith, but largely among
those who know not the truth. {Counsels on Health, 506.1}
