Revelation given to Wilford Woodruff, Sunday Nov 24, 1889.
Thus Saith the Lord, to my servant Wilford, I the Lord have heard thy
prayers and thy request, and will answer thee by the voice of my
spirit. Thus Saith the Lord, unto my servants the Presidency of my church,
who hold the Keys of the Kingdom of God on this earth, I the Lord
hold the destiny of the courts in your midst, and the destiny of this
nation, and all other nations of the earth in mine own hands, and all
that I have revealed, and promised and decreed concerning the generation
in which you live, shall come to pass, and no power shall stay my hand.
Let not my servants who are called to the Presidency of my church, deny
my word or my law, which concerns the salvation of the children
of men. Let them pray for the Holy Spirit, which shall be given them to guide
them in their acts. Place not yourselves in jeopardy to your enemies
by promise, your enemies seek your distruction and the distructions
of my people. If the Saints will hearken unto my voice, and the counsel
of my servants, the wicked shall not prevail. Let my servants, who
officiate as your counselors before the courts, make their pleadings as
they are moved upon by the Holy spirit, without any further pledges
from the Priesthood. I the Lord will hold the courts, with the officers of
government, and the nation responsible for their acts towards the
inhabitants of Zion. I, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, am
in your midst. I am your advocate with the Father. Fear not
little flock, it is your father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Fear not the wicked and ungodly. Search the scriptures, for they
are they which testify of me John 5:39, also those revelations which I have
given to my servant Joseph, and to all my servants since the world began,
which are recorded in the records of divine truths. Those revelations
contain the judgments of God, which are to be poured out upon all
nations under the heavens, which include Great Babylon. These judg-
ments are at the door, they will be fulfilled as God lives. Leave
judgment with me, it is mine saith the Lord. Watch the signs of the times, and they will show the fulfillment of
the words of the Lord. Let my servants call upon the Lord
in mighty prayer; retain the Holy Ghost as your constant com-
panion, and act as you are moved upon by that spirit, and
all will be well with you. The wicked are fast ripening in
iniquity, and they will be cut off by the judgments of God.
Great events await you and this generation, and are
nigh at your doors. Awake, O, Israel, and have faith in
God, and His promises, and he will not forsake you. I the Lord
will deliver my Saints from the dominion of the wicked, in mine own
due time and way. I cannot deny my word, neither in blessing nor
judgments. Therefore let mine Anointed gird up their loins,
watch and be sober, and keep my commandments. Pray
always and faint not; exercise faith in the Lord and
in the promises of God; be valient in the testimony of Jesus
Christ. The eyes of the Lord and the Heavenly Hosts are watching
over you and your acts. Therefore be faithful until I come. I come
quickly to reward every man according to the deeds done in the
body. Even so, amen.
