Those Who Reject Further Light and Knowledge Extinguish the Light in Themselves

God speaks to mankind through the agency of his power, by legal administrators, for he will not receive that which he has not sent and ordained. Those who reject the light and knowledge offered by these extinguish, to a degree, the light that is already in them, but those who receive the teachings of these legal administrators and hearken and obey, humbling themselves before God to become as a little child, will, if they continue in the word, increase in light until they shine in glory greater than the sun at noonday, for their bodies will be filled with light, saith the Lord. Those who reject the further light, for every man is born into the world with the light of Christ, purchased for them through the blood of Jesus Christ, will become darkened in their minds, subject to evil and they become the plaything of devils who lead them in strong delusion, such as Negroes in Ferguson, who had a predeliction in the pre-existence, for the devil to rule and reign. Therefore they were cursed with a black skin, and a race of servants. Even so. Amen. "...for a man called and inspired of God can both preach and write by the power of the Holy Ghost; and when the honest humble soul either hears or reads that which is given by the Spirit, the light that is in him witnesseth that it is of God; for light cleaves to light, and truth to truth; the Spirit gives light to every man that comes into the world, and if he love the light that is within himself, he will love all other light that is presented to his mind, and embrace it. Light cannot be presented to the mind of a candid, honest person, without being per­ceived to be light; but if he receive it not, he extinguishes in a degree the light that is in him, and darkness still greater ensues, and he is left to commit evils of a greater magnitude..and darkness reigns triumphantly: this darkness brings misery and wretch­ed­ness in this world and eternal torment in the world to come."
