In the days when this place of testimony was being dug out of eternity, men came to me to say I spoke too harshly. Did they not do the same to all God’s prophets, teachers, and servants? So I stuck to what I heard and relayed it as accurately as I could muster. It has become a bit tamer but not as a response to their urgings. I have come to realize certain understandings and have written them here for all to read. So there is no need to speak them again. Ask me and I will testify the good things of God to man. And I will not hold back.
Some would desire to return to peace among men; a peace which is absent of the word of God’s judgment. I will not go back. I cannot go back. And He will guard my way with a rock strewn path behind me. Briars have grown over the place where I once slept. No one has come to clear them away for the sake of the peace of man. I have been blessed to taste that the Lord is Good. And I will, in no wise, go back to that of man. Instead, I urge all to reach to the place where I now stand. Reach this place and run beyond me. Become my elders, all of you. Come, take from what God extends to all men and gain what is above me. Become my teachers.
You who would desire the word of God remain closed up in His people are acting foolishly. For if you will not listen to His words from us how will you stand when you appear before Him and hear His own words spoken to you directly? I ask you to reconsider where you stand as you mock His people. There is an accounting to be made. And, regardless how you believe it, God will gather all people in a place where they will testify individually before Him.
While you consider these words (all these words) I will continue to walk toward the fulness of His will for me. Billions are greater than I. Yet there are billions who have yet to bow to their knees before Him. I can make no accounting of where I stand between them. So I will walk at a mended pace. Catch me and pass beyond. I will gladly spur you on. I speak the things I do because I am compelled to testify for Him. And I will NEVER go back to what I was. Once a fire is built there are various reasons not to quench it.
