ORSON HYDE - THE ROLE OF APOSTATES

This is timely and interesting:

"In my meditations, this morning, the Spirit of the Lord came upon me, and I was moved to write: and being grieved in my spirit on account of false pretenses by evil designing persons to gain power and lead away the flock of God; It whispered (to) me and said: ' Evil men, ambitious of power, must needs arise among you, and they shall be led by their own self-will and not by me. Yet they are instruments in my hands, and are permitted to try my people, and to collect from among them those who are not the elect, and such as are unworthy of eternal life. Grieve not after them, neither mourn nor be alarmed. My people know my voice and also the voice of my spirit and a stranger they will not follow; therefore such as follow strangers are not my people."
Orson Hyde

  2. Put's things in perspective... however, it still tears at your heartstrings when they are family.

  3. I've always felt this way and it helps me to easily forgive and to love unconditionally. It's all part of a plan. It[s interesting too, to apply this to the adversary and the third of Heaven who also apostatized. We needed them to do so, so they could try and test us. Gives it a whole new perspective.
