Longing for the Word—The hearts of many in the world as well as many church members are hungering for the bread of life and thirsting for the waters of salvation. They are interested in the service of song, but they are not longing for that or even prayer. They want to know the Scriptures. What saith the Word of God to me? The Holy Spirit is working on mind and heart, drawing them to the bread of life. They see everything round them changing. Human feelings, human ideas of what constitutes religion, change. They come to hear the Word just as it reads.—Manuscript 11, 1899. {Ev 501.2}

Længes efter Ordet. - Manges hjerter i verden såvel som hos mange menighedsmedlemmer hjerter hungrer og tørster efter frelsens vande. De er interesseret i sangstunderne, men de længes ikke efter det eller endog efter at bede. De mangler at kende skriften. Hvad siger Guds Ord mig? Helligånden virker på sind og hjerte, drager dem til livets brød. De ser alt omkring dem forandre sig. Menneskelige følelser, menneskelige ideer, om hvad religion er, forandrer sig. De kommer for at gøre ordet, præcis sådan som det læses. - manuskript 11, 1899.
