Is God Leading His People?
By R. F. Cottrell
Has the time come for the third angel's message to be given? Is it being given? Are the people being brought to light who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ? That testimony is the spirit of prophecy—that spirit possessed by the ancient prophets. “I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus.” Rev. 19: 10. “I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets.” Chap. 22: 9. If the last prophetic people have appeared, the remnant of the seed of the woman, they have the testimony of Jesus which is the spirit of prophecy. It follows then that the testimonies among us are from the Spirit of God. If this is the people, the visions are from Heaven. To reject the Testimonies, is to reject the whole work, and to reject the work of God in the message now being proclaimed, is equivalent to saying that the signs of the last days have appeared, and that while wicked men and devils are fulfilling their last work as assigned them in prophecy, God has forgotten to fulfill his part and prepare his people for the last great trial of their faith; that all has appeared, as foretold in prophecy, but the prophetic people—the people that keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. I do not believe that God has failed to fulfill his part of the prophecy—his word of promise. Hence I believe that God is leading this people. Do you believe it brother, sister? If we do believe it, let us come up to the works of reform that God has sent for our salvation. Give heed to the Spirit of God, and live.
