The Church has turned back from following Christ her leader and is steadily retreating toward Egypt.  Yet few are alarmed or astonished at their want of Spiritual Power(Go to Heaven with JESUS). Doubt, and even Disbelief of the Testimonies of the Spirit of GOD(JESUS), is leavening our churches everywhere. Satan would have it thus. Minister who preach self instead of CHRIST would have it thus. The Testimonies are unried  and unappreciated. GOD has spoken to you. Light has been shining from HIS Word and from the Testimonies, and both  have been slighted and disregarded. The result is apparent in the lack of purity and devotion and earnest Faith among us. 5T 217.2

Let each put the question to his own heart: "How heve we fallen into this state of Spiritual feebleness and dissension? Have we not brought upon ourselves the frown of GOD  because our actions do not correspond with our Faith? Have we not been seeking the friendship and applause of the World? rather than the presence of Christ and a deeper knowledge of HIS will?"
