27. Wherefore, he is possessor of all things; for all things are
subject unto him, both in heaven and on the earth, the life and the
light, {172} the Spirit and the power, sent forth by the will of
the Father, through Jesus Christ, His Son.
28. But no man is possessor of all things except he be purified and
cleansed from all sin;
29. And if ye are purified and cleansed from all sin, ye shall ask
whatsoever you will in the name of Jesus, and it shall be done:
30. But know this, it shall be given you what you shall ask, and as
ye are appointed to the head, the spirits shall be subject unto you.
31. Wherefore, it shall come to pass, that if you behold a spirit
manifested that you cannot understand, and you receive not that
spirit, ye shall ask of the Father in the name of Jesus, and if he
give not unto you that spirit, then you may know that it is not of
God:
32. And it shall be given unto you power over that spirit, and you
shall proclaim against that spirit with a loud voice that it is not
of God;
33. Not with railing accusation, that ye be not overcome, neither
with boasting, nor rejoicing, lest you be seized therewith.
34. He that receiveth of God, let him account it of God, and let
him rejoice that he is accounted of God worthy to receive.
35. And by giving heed and doing these things which ye have
received, and which ye shall hereafter receive: and the kingdom is
given you of the Father, and power to overcome all things which are
not ordained of Him.
36. And behold, verily I say unto you, blessed are you who are now
hearing these words of mine from the mouth of my servant, for your
sins are forgiven you.
37. Let my servant, Joseph Wakefield, in whom I am well pleased,
and my servant, Parley P. Pratt go forth among the churches and
strengthen them by the word of exhortation;
38. And also my servant John Corrill, or as many of my servants as
are ordained unto this office, and let them labor in the vineyard;
and let no man hinder them doing that which I have appointed unto
them:
39. Wherefore in this thing my servant Edward Partridge is not
justified; nevertheless let him repent and he shall be forgiven.
40. Behold, ye are little children, and ye cannot bear all things
now; we must grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth.
41. Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have
overcome the world, and you are of them that my Father hath given
me;
42. And none of them that my Father hath given me shall be lost:
43. And the Father and I are one: I am in the Father and the Father
in me: and inasmuch as ye have received me, ye are in me and I in
you;
44. Wherefore I am in your midst, and I am the Good Shepherd, and
the Stone of Israel. He that buildeth upon this rock shall never
fall.
