Principalities and powers in heavenly places combine with these angels in their ministration for those who shall be heirs of salvation. But how sad it is that this work is hindered by the coarseness, the roughness, the worldly-mindedness of men and women who are so desirous of securing their own ends, of gratifying their own wishes, that they lose sight of the Word of God, which should be their instructor and their guide.{7BC 923.3}

Magter og myndigheder i det høje forener sig med disse engle om at tjene dem, der skal arve frelse. Men hvor sørgeligt er det ikke at dette arbejde forhindres af mænd og kvinders grovhed, rughed og verdslighed, som er så opsat på at sikre deres egen afslutning, og tilfredsstille deres egne ønsker, så de mister Guds Ord af syne, som ellers skulle være deres underviser og deres vejleder.
