From The Gospel of God’s Love, page 481, by John; October 26, 1915.
“I want to say that the faith that the preacher spoke of tonight as being possessed by Elijah is the faith that you must try to obtain; then you will realize that you will be superior to all the worries and troubles that may come to you. This is the kind of faith that overcomes every obstacle, and makes you a true child of the Father, and one whom He will never forsake or leave unprovided for.
“I was there at the service, and I tell you, the minister made a forcible application of the truth taught by that instance in Elijah’s life related to the Old Testament. If humans would only learn the efficacy of that kind of faith in God, they would become so much happier, and possessed of that great peace of which the Master spoke.
“I am telling you this, not as a speculation or a theory, but as the result of knowledge and actual experience. The same faith that existed in Elijah, was the same that existed in the early disciples of Jesus, and the same faith that you and all other mortals may now have. God never changes, although human’s conception of Him do. Yet no matter what these conceptions may be, the same God rules and, as the preacher said, is “present” with you. Faith in Him is always accompanied by a power that never fails in working out His truths.
“I tell you this because I want you to obtain that faith, as you will need it in the work which you have before you, which can only be done by one whose soul is developed by such faith.
“Very soon you will resume receiving the Master’s messages, and will continue to do so until they are completed. And what messages of truth they will be!
“As the minister said tonight, there will be “troublers,” but your mission will be similar to that of Elijah – that is, the messages will show mortals the way to the true God.
“I will not write more tonight, but will say: Try to get this faith! And you may get it, by earnest, persistent prayer, accompanied by belief. You are progressing in your soul development; trust in the Master’s promises, and your worries will pass away, and leave you free to do the work. Goodnight and God bless you. John”
