Quotes

I spoke a few moments upon the power & influence of the spirit & work of God in heaven & on Earth. In heaven the Lord had power over Lucipher son of the Morning & on Earth the Lord has power over the devil & so has his servants when they have the spirit of God in them and if a man does his Duty his house will be a house of salvation. All men the righteous & wicked that come beneath his roof will feel the influence of the spirit that reigns in that house.
