“Therefore, all you that feel the power of God, and your service
for God in them, both men and women, keep your meetings in the
power of God, the authority of them, as they were settled in it;
then ye will be preserved both over this spirit that opposes them,
and over the spirit of the world that opposes your other meetings;
for it is all one in the ground, and would bring you into bondage.
Such are out of the peaceable gospel, who oppose its order; out of
the faith that works by love; out of the wisdom that is gentle,
easy, and peaceable, &c., and out of the kingdom that stands in
peace and joy. Therefore, keep over that spirit that sows discord
or dissension, and would draw you from your habitation and
possession in the order of the gospel; for it is the same spirit
that deceived Adam and Eve, by which they lost their habitation in
righteousness and holiness,, and their dominion; so that spirit
got over them; and so it would get over you. One while it will
tell you, ‘it sees no service for your meetings,’ and another time
will oppose you. But I say, this is the blind spirit, which is out
of the power of God, and which the power of God is over.
Therefore, keep in the power, that ye may stand up for your
liberty in Christ Jesus, males and females, heirs of him and of
his gospel, and his order. Stand up for your liberty in the
gospel, and in the faith, which Christ Jesus hath been the author
of; for if ye lose it, and let another spirit get over you, ye
will not so soon regain it.
