At this very moment the Lord is The fact that marriages are being done still, cutting short His work in righteousness, which clear up to the last moments of preparation, fulfills means those who are prepared are being called and the scripture, "As it was in the days of Noah, so used. So those who are not being called rejected shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of God by choosing to not be prepared, perhaps for Man," that they are marrying and giving in years treating lightly this offered blessing of marriage to that very hour.

And this is Every woman I have been warned about that an example for all other Elders that will prove could falter, not one of them has been called yet to faithful. The Lord is having me experience it first. come to a place of refuge, and I have talked to I scattered some ladies just so they wouldn't tum every one of them, warning them that the Lord has traitor, being warned of the Lord that if they shown me they could falter. So as this progresses, witnessed what I was doing, in a day of greater and now my famjJy js scattered, if they are not trial, they would testify against me what they faithful and fervent and preparing, they will become fearful; and in a day of trial, fear will invite the revelations of satan and cause them to tum to someone else, break their covenants and perhaps even be destroyed. My last Sunday School message to the family, that the Lord had me give, was if you are scattered and you stay faithful and focused and live in a dedicated condition, the Lord will show me where you are and I will gather you up; but any of you who compromise and break your covenants, I give you an everlasting farewell. So brethren this is real.
