I said further: “As the word of God is walled in with these books and pamphlets, so has God walled you in with reproofs, counsel, warnings, and encouragements. Here you are crying before God, in the anguish of your souls, for more light. I am authorized from God to tell you that not another ray of light through the Testimonies will shine upon your pathway, until you make a practical use of the light already given. The Lord has walled you about with light; but you have not appreciated the light; you have trampled upon it. While some have despised the light, others have neglected it, or followed it but indifferently. A few have set their hearts to obey the light which God has been pleased to give them. {LS 199.2}

Jeg siger endvidere: Ligesom Guds ord er indmuret i disse bøger og tidsskrifter, lige sådan har Gud muret jer ind med irettesættelser, råd, advarsler og opmuntring. Her skriger I efter Gud, i jeres sjæles smerte, for mere lys. Jeg er bemyndiget af Gud til at fortælle jer at intet andet lys vil skinne igennem Vidnesbyrdene på jeres stivej, før I gør praktisk brug af det lys der allerede er givet. Herren har muret omkring jer med lys; men værdsætter I ikke lyset, har I trådt på det. Medens nogle har foragtet lyset, har andre sat det til side, eller kun fulgt det i ligegyldighed. Nogle få har ladet deres hjerter adlyde det lys som Gud har fundet for godt at give dem.
