August 22, 1857, at the house of prayer in Monterey, Michigan, I was shown that many have not yet heard the voice of Jesus, and the saving message has not taken hold of the soul and worked a reformation in the life. Many of the young have not the spirit of Jesus. The love of God is not in their hearts, therefore all the natural besetments hold the victory instead of the Spirit of God and salvation. {1T 154.1}

(154) [Den 22. august 1857 blev det i bedehuset i Momterey, Michigan, vist mig, at mange endnu ikke har hørt Jesu stemme og det frelsende budskab har ikke grebet sjælen og bevirket en livsforvandling. Mange af de unge har ikke Jesu ånd. Guds kærlighed er ikke i deres hjerter og det er derfor alle de naturlige skødesynder der råder, i stedet for Guds Ånd og frelsen.
