God is leading out a people, not a few separate individuals here and there, one believing this thing, another that. Angels of God are doing the work committed to their trust. The third angel is leading out and purifying a people, and they should move with him unitedly. Some run ahead of the angels that are leading this people; but they have to retrace every step, and meekly follow no faster than the angels lead. I saw that the angels of God would lead His people no faster than they could receive and act upon the important truths that are communicated to them. But some restless spirits do not more than half do up their work. As the angel leads them, they get in haste for something new, and rush on without divine guidance, and thus bring confusion and discord into the ranks. They do not speak or act in harmony with the body. I saw that you both must speedily be brought where you are willing to be led, instead of desiring to lead, or Satan will step in and lead you in his way, to follow his counsel. Some look at your set notions, and consider them an evidence of humility. They are deceived. You both are making work for repentance. {1T 207.1}

Gud leder et folk frem, ikke nogle få enkelte her og der, én der tror det - en anden det. Guds engle gør det arbejde der er dem betroet. Den tredje engel leder et folk frem og renser det og de vil gå i enhed med ham. Nogle går forud for englene som leder dette folk; men de må gå samme vej tilbage og ikke gå hurtigere end englene leder. Jeg så at Guds engle ikke ville lede sine engle hurtigere end at de kunne modtage og behandle de betydningsfulde sandheder som er bragt til dem. Men nogle hvileløse ånder gør ikke mere end halvdelen af deres arbejde op. Idet englen leder dem, kommer de i hast for noget nyt og styrte af sted uden guddommelig vejledning og således bringer forvirring og disharmoni i rækkerne. De taler og handler ikke i harmoni med kroppen. Jeg så at I begge hurtig bliver bragt der hen, hvor I gerne vil ledes, i stedet for at ønske at lede, ellers vil Satan gå ind og lede jer på hans vej og følge hans råd. Nogle ser på jeres opfattelser og betragter dem som et tegn på ydmyghed. De er bedragede. I skal begge to arbejde for omvendelse.
