The Church of Christ with the Elijah Message Blog

Malachi 3:1-5

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

God said that he was going to send his messenger before the second coming of Christ. Wither you believe it or listen to it or not is up to you, but the idea is not debatable. God promised he would do it, and he will do it. The Church of Christ with the Elijah Message is the group of people who believe that the messenger is coming to earth as promised from God, and are following his commandments. Do you believe that has kept his promise?

Message 64:2-3

Will the people heed the warning and obey the instructions I bring from the Lord, your God, that there may be a bride prepared and the way of deliverance established, that mankind may learn of the way of the Lord, his words, in these last days. The Lord has sent me with a message when the hearts of his people were bleeding. I have come to minister that comfort may come to all who will walk righteously in this way. All that I have brought and will bring comes from the Lord, your God.

God promised us that he would send a messenger to prepare the way before Christ’s second coming. Most people do not know where to look for such a messenger, if they even understand the coming of him. It is our responsibility to share the message to the world so that people can read it and be prepared. Will you follow the instructions from God?

Message 75:11

I leave peace and calmness with you and will come again; be strong and fear not. Some will not accept the words I bring. Let them alone. Some will turn against you and the words I bring; they lose and are not a part of this work to the end. Your brethren will uphold you, for exceeding great joy shall be in their hearts in Christ’s holy work. Amen.

John will return on day and when he does everything will not be rosy and easy. Things will be just has hard after John returns as they are now. Let us know think about John coming back as day that will save us, but let us think about it as a day that will lead us to the end. John’s mission is one of direction and guidance. Let us follow his direction so that we are not left out of the blessing of the Lord.

Message 75:5

Let not division come among you. For the old law and its traditions are finished and is not a part of the gospel of Christ, in its sabbaths and burning of bloods—but forgiveness, humility, and sincerity, in the humble way of the Lord in obedience to the words Christ spoke in his gospel.

We must hold firm on the truth of Christ and his gospel. We cannot add or subtract from it. Christ’s gospel is the foundation of the church, and if we change it the whole thing is will crumble. Let us keep the traditions of man out of our worship and focus instead on Christ.

Message 75:2-3

Lo, you have prayed for my coming and the Lord has heard and sent me. Satan has hindered many times in the past—of my coming. The Lord’s work has suffered much. Satan has shown his iron hand and in vain has sought to have his way—but has caused unrest and no peace, deceiving, deceiving and planting evil seeds. In false prophecy has man been deceived and sin has wrought a work. Let it not be found among you. As I speak to you, I speak to the brethren and the Church. Speak the words I bring, let them be heard. Destroy not the plan of God.

Even though the messenger has not come in the last few years, that does not mean he will not come back. Satan is a powerful adversary. He is fighting harder now than ever because he knows his time is short. John will come back because he said that he would. God is not going to let his church end. Let us look at ourselves and try to see if we are doing anything that might delay his coming.

Message 66:2

Behold, I am the servant of the Lord, the blessed one sent of God. I come from his presence and my name is John. I am the same that was and is called the Baptist. I am the Elias. I bring the Elijah Message many have looked for. I bring words of the Lord. I bring a warning.

We know that the messages that we today are brought by the same messenger that the Lord promised us that he would send. We know this because he told us so. John explains several times in the messages that he is the one that God has sent and what his mission is. The words that he brings agree with the ones that we already have in the Bible and The Record of the Nephits.
