5. And thou shalt continue in calling upon God in my name, and
writing the things which shall be given thee by the Comforter, and
expounding all Scriptures unto the Church;
6. And it shall be given thee in the very moment what thou shalt
speak and write, and they shall hear it, or I will send unto them a
cursing instead of a blessing.
7. For thou shalt devote all thy service in Zion; and in this thou
shalt have strength.
8. Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many; but endure
them, for, lo, I am with thee, even unto the end of thy days.
9. And in temporal labors thou shalt not have strength, for this
is not thy calling. Attend to thy calling and thou shalt have
wherewith to magnify thine office, and to expound all Scriptures,
and continue in laying on of the hands and confirming the Churches.
10. And thy brother Oliver shall continue in bearing my name before
the world, and also to the Church. And he shall not suppose that he
can say enough in my cause; and lo, I am with him to the end.
11. In me he shall have glory, and not of himself; whether in
weakness or in strength, whether in bonds or free,
12. And at all times, and in all places, he shall open his mouth
and declare my Gospel as with the voice of a trump, both day and
night. And I will give unto him strength such as is not known among
men.
13. Require not miracles, except I shall command you, except
casting out devils, healing the sick, and against poisonous
serpents, and against deadly poisons;
14. And these things ye shall not do, except it be required of you
by them who desire it, that the scriptures might be fulfilled; for
ye shall do according to that which is written.
15. And in whatsoever place ye shall enter, and they receive you
not in my name, ye shall leave a cursing instead of a blessing, by
casting off the dust of your feet against them as a testimony, and
cleansing your feet by the wayside.
{103} 16. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall lay their
hands upon you by violence, ye shall command to be smitten in my
name; and, behold, I will smite them according to your words, in
mine own due time.
17. And whosoever shall go to law with thee shall be cursed by the
law.
18. And thou shalt take no purse nor scrip, neither staves, neither
two coats, for the Church shall give unto thee in the very hour
what thou needest for food and for raiment, and for shoes and for
money, and for scrip;
19. For thou art called to prune my vineyard with a mighty pruning,
yea, even for the last time. Yea, and also all those whom thou hast
ordained, and they shall do even according to this pattern. Amen.
_Revelation given at Harmony, Pennsylvania, July, 1830._ [3]
