“The same Spirit that sent Pentecostal fire in the first day is got to be the same Pentecostal fire today, that's burning their hearts, their love; they'd die for one another. They went forth with only one objective: win souls to Christ, one motive: love. That's all.” “Contending for THE Faith.” -Hear Ye Him

“If Jesus comes tomorrow, you'd be found faithful at the duty. If you're building your church, go on, put it up. I'd rather be putting my money in something like that than be found with it in my pocket. If you're planting wheat, plant your wheat. If you're digging potatoes, go on and dig them out. Just continue on as you are. If I'm hoeing potatoes, I'll just be hoeing away just as hard as I can. When He comes, I'll just drop the hoe and take off. They knowed the jubilee year was maybe ten minutes more and the trumpet would sound of the jubilee year. They just kept on pitching hay or whatever they was doing; but when the trumpet sounded, then they dropped their pitchfork and gone. That's it. Just keep on pitching hay until the trumpet sounds.” From our prophet… -Questions & Answers on the Seals
