Message96:4

The Lord has used many in every clime and nation to bring about this great work, preparing the way that all Christendom shall flow together.

There have many people that do not know of this work do great things for the Lord. He will reward these people and they will be blessed. We should be glade that there are people doing the Lords work and when they hear of this message there will only be one Church of Christ.

 

Mark 12:12

And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

Just like the days of old, there will be a time that people fear the workers of Christ. Now people persecute the ones who are working for Christ. Those people who are persecuting Christ’s workers will get their reward, and it will not be pleasant. Let us be comforted in the fact that Christ will always be with us and will get the last word.

Luke 13:11-17

And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

The work of God takes a break for no one. We should not get caught up in our own traditions to lose sight of what is important. God should be our focus, not the way we go about doing his work. If we keep our eyes on him, we can make it through the clouds.

Message 96:14

The work will become very heavy in the office and headquarters records and preparing materials to help those that inquire and come to this work. Let more prepare to help in this, that all things may be kept in order and carried on.

This is true today. The word is spreading very fast about the truth and there is a lot of work to be done. Everyone should be preparing to do their part. Only through Christ are we able to keep the message going out to the world. Are you willing and able to do your part?

Mark 1:16-18

Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

Working for God does not pay well in eyes of the world, but the benefits and deferred payment of everlasting life in heaven is worth it. No amount of money, praise, or positions will help you serve God. We need to look at ourselves and ask are we doing all that we can, are we fisher of men?

Message 95:13

Many shall be touched by the Lord’s Spirit. Many will soften and hear this way, adding to their good works this authority and trust. To all such their works may stand the test in the end.

There will be many people who will come to the Lord. The out pouring of his spirit will be overwhelming and people will head the call. It will be such a blessing to the people who join as well as to the people already in the Church. For those who join Christ’s church, there good works will last and they will receive their reward in heaven.

Message 94:2-3

I bring the authority to prepare the way before the Lord’s soon coming; before this generation all pass away. Fear not, the Lord is doing a marvelous work and a wonder and the powers of evil shall lose in the end.

John is bringing the authority from God for us to do the Lords work. He promises us that that the Lord will soon come. We should be comforted by that fact. Work that the Lord is doing is great and larger than anyone of us can see with our eyes. I hope and pray that we all can just do our part and feel the love that comes with the peace of the Lord.

Galatians 6:6-9

Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

If our actions are of the flesh, we can expect to receive corruption in return. Man cannot hold onto the truth without the help of God. If our actions are spiritual in nature and in according to the plan of God we will receive everlasting life with our God. I know which one I want to have in the end.

Message 86:6

Many represent Christ and have faith to do many miracles. This is good, if they hear the final call—this the midnight cry and obey it. Their works will stand the test.

Those people who have a great faith and do a great work for God are doing a great thing. The important thing to remember is though when they hear about this work they have to decide wither they will follow Christ or not. If they don’t follow Christ their works will not stand the test of time. Let us pray for them to follow the truth.

Ephesians 6:7-8

With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

We should do good in our lives. We should strive to show the love of Christ that is in our heart to others by our actions. We should also strive to do a good job in everything that we do, not for the pleasers of man, but for the glory of God.

Luke 9:1-3

Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

When we go out teaching to the word of God we are supposed to depend on the people that we see for our survival. We try to stay at the houses of the people, we eat with them and we teach them. This allows God to use us in all manors in spreading his word. It is all a blessing to those that help the workers of God.

Alma 30:34
And now, if we do not receive anything for our labors in the church, what doth it profit us to labor in the church save it were to declare the truth, that we may have rejoicings in the joy of our brethren?
We do not serve to lord for money, but we serve him for the blessings in our lives. For us, we spread the word of God not because we get paid for it, but because we enjoy seeing other receive the blessings of the Lord.
