were considered Natural my mind can see many things when
clothed with the Spirit of God that my eyes cannot. In
speaking of Hell it is called vary hot But our God is
a consumeing fire. [Hebrews 12:29] Hell is here it is said the devil was
cast down to the Earth [Revelation 12:9] Also that He was cast down to Hell [Doctrine and Covenants 29:37-38]
He is in our midst striveing to lead captive the children
of men. I want the Brethren to speak freely to speak
all that is in you & if you have an Error let it out
& exchange it for true principle. some of the Saints
want more revelation mysteries, great things, But do they know what
they ask for or what they have already got if the request of many men
was granted it would be like casting pearles before swine they would
trample them in the mire [Matthew 7:6] we have enough now tof the key words &
tokens to take us through the veil into the celestial world & lead us to the
Throne of God, & what more do you want. Have you ever pondered in
your hearts By visions & the spirit of God Eternal things even the redeeming of
all worlds from there down to the smallest things God Has made? Have
you ever reflected upon the great system of salvation of the creatures
of God? Is man contented He is not. Can man alter the Decrees of
God concerning the seed of Abraham or any thing els He cannot
why not quarrel about Christ coming instead of the Father
when the Father Appointed Jesus Christ the first Born to come &
redeem the Earth there was contention got up the second Brother Lucipher the son of the Morning [Isaiah 14:12] He wanted the Honour to come & redeem
the Earth But Christ was the Appointed one it was his right By Appoin
tment & Birthright. But the war & contention became so Hot & the
influence of Lucipher was so great that He got one third of the Hosts
of Heaven to Join his standard & when He was hurled down to Hell
like lightning from Heaven one third was cast down with him whare
is He & those that were cast down, with those spirts that accompanied
him they are here on this Earth and they have Blinded the child
ren of men & still seeking to overthrow the kingdom of God
He is a thorn in the flesh to the children of God But this is all right
& we should be contented with what God sees fit to grant unto us & be
contented with our lot. If the devil Had Been contented & acted in
his place He would not Have Been thrust down to Hell. Any man who
seeks to do a thing that He cannot do & should not do it cast him
into Hell & makes a Hell for him when men ask for things that
does not belong to him & it makes him unhappy. But do what
God wants you to do & wait on those who are above you & all
will be right. why did not one of the Apostles quarrel with
Jesus Christ to redeem the world Jesus set a little child in
their midst & said if ye do not become as this little child you
cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [Matthew 18:2-3] If you would be the
greatest man in the kingdom of God you must be the greatest slave
or servant you will do more than any other man. The Apostles
did not quarrel to know who should or should not be president
why do I or you not quarrel because we were not Joseph Smith
to wantto & cannotisHell. Never seek to do a thing you cannot
accomplish. Evry man has his lot appointed Him & he should be
contented with it. Their is the work of God, Angels, men, & Devils
Is the Bible good the Book of Mormon Doctrins & Covenants
yes they are good those Books contain the words of God Angels Men
& Devils. And if you dont want to be in Hell all the time be contented
with your lot if you dont learn to Be contented you will be in
Hell with Brother Kempton who sayes He was in Hell one year
