Loss of Conscious Integrity Paralyzes Energies—When you lose your conscious integrity, your soul becomes a battlefield for Satan; you have doubts and fears enough to paralyze your energies and drive you to discouragement. When the favor of God was gone, you know that some of you have tried to supply the place and seek compensation for the loss of the Holy Spirit’s witness that you are a child of God in worldly excitement, in the society of worldlings.— Letter 14, 1885. {1MCP 321.3}

Mistes bevidstheden om renhed, lammes kræfterne. - Når du mister din bevidsthed om renhed, bliver sin sjæl en slagmark for Satan; du har tvivl og frygt nok til at lamme dine kræfter og drive dig til modløshed. Når Guds gunst er væk, ved I at nogle af jer har prøvet at erstatte dette og søge kompensation for tabet af Helligåndens vidne da du er et Guds barn i verdslig spænding, i selskab med verdslige. - Brev 14, 1885.
