ARISE WITH GREAT POWER |
Arise with every power to assist the Covenant of God and serve
in His vineyard. Be confident that a confirmation will be granted
unto you and a success on His part is given unto you. Verily,
He shall support you by the angels of His holiness and reinforce
you with the breaths of the Spirit that ye may mount the Ark of
Safety, set forth the evident signs, impart the spirit of life, declare
the essence of His commands and precepts, guide the sheep who
are straying from the fold in all directions, and give the blessings.
Ye have to use every effort in your power and strive earnestly and
wisely in this new century. By God, verily the Lord of Hosts is
your support, the angels of heaven your assistance, the Holy Spirit
your companion and the Center of the Covenant your helper. Be
not idle, but active and fear not. Look unto those who have been
in the former ages—how they have resisted all nations and suffered
all persecutions and afflictions, and how their stars shone,
their attacks proved successful, their teachings established, their
363
regions expanded, their hearts gladdened, their ideas cleared and
their motives effective. Ye are now in a great station and noble
rank and ye shall find yourselves in evident success and prosperity,
the like of which the eye of existence never saw in former ages.
