GATHERING OF THE SAINTS
 

The gathering of the Lord's saints is progressing. He will gather together into ONE BODY in this end-time those who have truly covenanted to­gether with Him to do His will, and to lay themselves completely on His altar of sacrifice. It will require a sacrifice to do that which He purposes in this last day. Those who are unwilling to make this sacrifice will find a place in His scheme of things for this day, but they will not be a part of that end-time Body that shall be filled with the fullness of the Lord's glory. For He will take one here and one there and bring them to Zion, the true spiritual city, and He will cause them to dwell in Jerusalem (peace) and they will build up the walls and set in order those things which are lacking. And they will see His workings in their midst to erect an end-time temple that will be glorious beyond all that has been before. The Lord will cause them to rejoice, and great will be the joy and the singing in their midst. Truly a sacrifice of joy will they make to their God. For He is gathering together those on whom He will pour out His Spirit, and the Lord will come to them as the latter rain, in showers of blessing as never before. They will be a people on whom the glory of their God is seen, and the joy and rejoicing in their midst will be something to behold.

 

Small groups will be gathered together to subject them­selvesto the Lord's Will and seek His face. He will show them that which they must do. He will have a people who will let Him purge them completely from all that which hin­ders and defiles, and He will bring them forth in these last days as a purified people, ready to do that which He will com­mission them to do. They will go forth as a mighty army to conquer and to gain a great victory for the Lord. It will be a glorious church with all spots and blemishes removed and all wrinkles taken away.

 

Gather together and abandon your former associations. For how can the Lord draw you completely to Himself when your loyalties are divided? You must be willing to be gath­ered together with those whom He has given the same vision and same understanding. Can two walk together unless they be agreed (Amos 3:3)? Will you agree to walk in the fullness of the Lord's glory and perfection for this last day? Then withdraw from those who would hold you back. And let the Lord join you to those whom He has chosen. Seek not to join yourselves to anyone or anything. Let the Lord join you together and no man will be able to divide you asunder.

 

Those whom the Lord will join together will be joined according to His Plan and purpose for each one. You must let Him set you in the place He wants you. None must aspire to the place that belongs to another. Subject yourselves to Him and to one another so that He may make you one Body in the Lord. Join not yourselves but let the Lord join you to those whom He has chosen, and accept the place where He fits you.
