A Revelation to Wilford Woodruff. In the Wilderness, Jan. 26, 1880. Thus saith the Lord unto my ser- vant, Wilford Woodruff, I have heard thy prayer and will answer thy petition. I will make known unto thee my will concern- ing the nations who encumber the land of promise, and also concerning Zion and her inhabitants.

mies, and not many years hence they shall not be left to pollute my heritage. [Doctrine and Covenants 105:15] The devil is ruling over his kingdom, and my spirit has no place in the hearts of the rulers of this nation, and the devil stirs them up to defy my power and to make war upon my Saints.

unto you, mine apostles, I also say unto my servants the seventies, the high priests, the elders, the priests, and all my servants who are pure in heart and who have borne testimony unto the nations. Let them go forth and cleanse their feet in pure water, and bear testimony of it unto their Father who is in heaven. And then, saith the Lord unto mine apostles and mine elders, when ye do these things with purity of heart, I the Lord will hear your prayer and am bound by oath and covenant to defend you ...

Call upon the Lord in mighty prayer. Ask and you shall receive. Whenever you agree as touching anything, and ask the Father in my name, it shall be given unto you. [Doctrine and Covenants 88:64] Seek diligenty to build up Zion, and to magnify your high cal- ling, and your enemies shall not prevail over you. Zion shall not be moved out of her place.

one to preside over your quorum, which is the order of God in all generations, do you not, all of you, hold the apostleship, which is the highest authority ever given to men on the earth? You do. Therefore, you hold in common the keys of the kingdom of God in all the world. You each of you have power to unlock the vail of eternity and hold converse with God the Father, and his son Jesus Christ, and to have the administration of angels.
