12:53 a.m. Naomie's Testimony ofWhat

Happened Through the Night

We arrived herejust before 7:00p.m. last night.

You visited with your younger ladies for a fewminutes and then you dictated. Before your

dictation, even before we got here, I could eel the

heavenly powers come upon you. You went into

your heavenly session very quickly as you ended

your dictation. You went into a very severe

trembling. I couldfeel such a power flowingfrom

you, an overpowering burning, knowing that you

are in the Lord's hands and He knows what He is

doing with you

You were conscious until 9:15 p.m., going

through a very severe session from 8:30 p.m. until

9: 15 p. m. in your conscious state. It continued in

your unconscious state. At 9: 15 p.m. your body

jolted and trembled. It was during that time that

you went unconscious. You were taken away, not

physically, but you were taken away. Your spirit

left your body until 9:45 p.m. You groaned and

sighed and said, "Gh, my. Gh, my. What is

happening? What is happening to me?" Before

you went totally unconscious, right around 9:00o 'clpck n m )'QU told me to go tell Nenhj to go tqlkl'

1to Uncle Wendell and Uncle Fred and tell them

that the Lord had you in charge and you were not

able to meet with them right them, to wait for

further instructions from you, that you needed

their prayers.

At 9:45p.m. your body olted. You groaned and

sighed again. You said, "Gh, my. Gh, my. What is

happening to me? Everything in me is going to

dissolve. Ifeel so weak, so much like everything in

me is being torn apart." You said, "I don't know

what the Lord will have me do, whether He willhave me go to this Work Meeting, or if will just

call in His message. Whether I give it this weekend

or next weekend, I do not know -- not only a

correction for this people, those who do not hold

Priesthood, He has a message He wants me to give

this whole nation." You groaned and sighed and

said, "I will go His pace on it. I will go His pace. "

Your body trembled very severely again.

At 9:50 p.m. you twisted and turned. It didn'

last real long, but it was very severe. You said, "

still feel, whether I go to Short Creek earlier o

later, I have a training to give to those Canadian

men and also some weddings to perform." Then

you named Kathie Holm will be going to Moron

Steed. Theil Cooke Jr. would receive Hilary Holm

Berklee Holm's daughter; that Richard Jessop

Clyde Jessop's son, would receive WinfordBarlow's daughter Priscilla. You said that you

would be taking care ofWendell Jeffs. You didn'

name a name, who would go to him. You saidyou

also have a place for Faith Jessop. You didn'

name a name for her either.

Your body stopped trembling at 9:55 p.m. You

came to at 10:05 p.m. and asked what had been

happening. It is now ten minutes after 1:00 a.m.

know the Lordwill bless you and show you what to

do. I know He will. I yearn to be a strength.4:21 a.m.

It was 1: 15 a.m. when Ifinished talking to you

last. You got up out of the chair, still going

through the heavenly session very intensely. You

got into your pajamas and got into the bed, still in

very intense suffering. You gave me some

instructions on how to be more sensitive and

careful, which I am so grateful for, because I know

that trust is everything. I know the Lord revealaur heartS' to ))oy You said HAqv light-minded

moment affects our relationship very greatly. "

You said you wanted me to be more prayerful when

I took care of hese recorders, that I was not being

sensitive and that is why it [some files] was lost.

You said, "Trust is everything, my dear. "

You were conscious until 2:00 a.m. You got in

the bed at 2:000 'clock a. m. You went unconsciou

at 2: 15 a.m. You didn't start saying anything unti

probably 2:40 a.m. I couldfeel the power ofyou

Priesthood and how sensitive you are and I realiz

I must be that sensitive. I kept feeling impressed topray harderfor you, with more fervency, realizing

that if do not be fervent, it is treating you lightly

and Heavenly Father lightly. I kept feeling

impressed to pray that the Lord would show you

what He wanted you to do concerning the

meetings, the marriages.

At 2:40 a.m. you sat up on your elbows and you

said, "What is happening? The Lord sure i

keeping me away from that meeting. He knows

what He wants. He is showing me there is a

conspiracy greater than I realize, but He knows.

We will be surprised who is involved in it. You will

be surprised. Ron Rohbock, Richard Holm,

Winston Blackmore are sons ofperdition. They

are the greatest enemies to this work right now,

especially Ron. The Lord has shown me he is my

traitor and that he will yet consider it the Lord'swill to take my life." You groaned and laid back

down and said, "Would to God they would just

repent, for I seek only their salvation and their

eternal happiness if hey would ust repent. If hey

would only realize I am there greatest friend on

earth, the Lord is through me." You groaned

again and said, "Be that as it may, the Lord's will

be done. Whatever He requires ofme. "

At 3:00 0 'clock a.m. you sat up on your elbows

again and said, "What is happening? What ishappening?" You said, "Gh, it is going to be so

terrible. It will be the greatest destruction that has

ever taken place upon this earth, upon this nation.

The ungodly among us will hunt me. They will

come after me in great force, with all the powers of

hell combined. They will use every stratagem. It

will take constant prayer and revelation to keep me

out of heir hands and keep these people protected

in these places of refuge. We must be more

fervent." You groaned and sighed and said, "Gh,

wlleh will ihe eullh reSt? There is so mUthcorruption, so much wickedness. It is groaning

beneath us, trembling with pain, and I feel that

pain, that suffering the earth is going through. "

I could feel father's presence here so strong. I

know there are others. I know the Prophet Joseph

is so close to you, guiding you, telling you how to

redeem Zion. The Lord speaks to you daily,

momently. You live in a constant dedication,

constant revelation.

At 3: 15 a.m. you laid back down. Your bodytrembled, not that severe trembling, but it trembled

to where your back bowed out of he bed. You said,

"Gh, my. Gh, my. What is happening to me? I

rejoice in the change, this purification. Whatever

it takes, I am willing to go through it. "

At 3:25 a.m. you said, "I won't be going to that

meeting. There is too many people there seeking

my life. The Lord is showing me I will not be safe

at that meeting. I will go His pace on the

marriages and this meeting with the Canadians.

There is something I am supposed to do first.

Whatever it is, I will do it, the Lord helping me. "

You said you would not be giving Faith to

Arthur Barlow, she would be going to Jacob

Johnson, LaMar Johnson's son. At 3:45 a.m. you

sat up on your elbow again and said, "What is

happening? What is happening?" You said, "Is

there anything to report?" And I said, "Yes." You

laid back down and said, "I am worthless."

Warren you are not worthless. You are everything.

I know the Lord works through you.

You went back unconscious right after that and

at 3:50a.m. you said, "Gh, my. Gh, my. Whatwill

become of his people. I am yearning the Lord to

show me what to do. IfHe wants me to talk at that

meeting by phone, I will do it, or i fHe will have me

wait and go there in person. Whatever Herequires, whatever His will is. Guide me,

Heavenly Father." You said, "The Lord has

removed the privilege ofmeetings in Short Creek

because ofunbeliefand traitors among the people.

There is so much halfheartedness there, and yet

there is much good." You said, "The Lord is

revealing to me a few men that can be trusted.

They will be laborers, in the Lord's time, at these

places of refuge." You named Joseph Jessop,

Uncle Jerry's son Joseph, and also Jacob

Johnson.

At 4:00 0 'clock a.m. you came to and said,

"Hello, has anything been happening?" I said,

"Yes." You said, "Are you awake enough to

report it to me?" I said, "Yes." You said, "Be

prayerful. First get me a drink ofwater and you

also. Feel my forehead. " As I touched your head,

I could eel the fire flowingfrom you so strongly. I

know the Lord is guiding you. Ifeel His presence.

He is still showing you, has you in deep session. I

can feel His power in you so strong, even unto atrembling. It is now 4:45 a.m.

10:22 a.m.

This is a reportfrom 4:50 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. this

morning. You went back unconscious about 4:45

a.m., still in very intense suffering. I know the Lord

shows to you what He wants you to do and also

protects you. At 5:00 0 'clock a.m. you said, "The

Lord is stopping me. He is stopping me for some

reason. He has shown me that there are people

there seeking my life. If go there, it will be too

dangerous, but He will have me go later today to

perform that ordinance work, to train those men,

but I will have to leave at a time that I will arrive

there in the dark. Your body trembled very

severely at 5: lOa. m. As I witness you go through

such an intense session, the burning ofpeace I feel

is what strengthens me to watch you go throughsuch an intense suffering, knowing that you are

sufferingfor me, for all ofus, knowing that our job

here on earth is to perfect our characters that we

may come into the presence ofGod; and I know I

don't know how many times I have been in His

presence when I am around you, but I know that

when I approach you, I am approaching Him and

that is what it fel t like as you were going through

such an intense suffering. Your body twisted and

turned in the bed. Your bones were popping. Your

head was flipped back. And all the while I felt the

presence of ather, and I know the Lord is so close

to you, His presence, and also the impression I had

was that it was the Prophet Joseph.

At 5: 15 a. m. your body was still trembling. The

severity had lightened, but it was still jolting and

jerking some. You said, "Every step of he way to

the redemption ofZion takes an intense sacrifice. I

am so willing. May the Lord hasten my

preparation, may I not be slow. " Again your body

startea to tremble very severely. lou TWlstea agamand turned. The only sound that was coming from

you was the difficulty you were having breathing.

That is the only sound you made.

At 5:30 a.m. you said, "The news people are at

the meeting house. If I was to arrive there they

would get me on camera and I am not supposed to

go before the world by television. My message will

be in private to them, but the Lord will have a

message for this mission. They are only worthy for

the judgments of God to be poured out upon

them." You groaned and sighed and said, "Oh,

my. Oh, my. It is so terrible, so terrible what is

about to happen to our people, and yet it will be

more terrible upon the wicked." Your body jol ted

again and then you went very quiet and still. I

could hardly tell you were even breathing until

6:000 'clock a.m. this morning. Then you all the

sudden took a big breath. Then you twisted and

turned in the bed again. Your body trembled. You

said, "When will the earth rest? When will it cease

its groaning in misery? As the earth trembles,

tremble. I canfeel its deep pain. And I suffer even

as Enoch suffered for his people, rejoicing,

knowing he is much greater than I I am the leas

of he Prophets. "

At 6: 15 a.m. you were shining so brightly. The

fire Ifelt in this room, surrounding this place, wasso powerful. There was such a heavenly peace

here, andyet I could eel that peace could only stay

here through great fervency. At 6:20 a.m. you

said, "I will do as the Lord directs. I will go His

pace. He has a message for the people in Shor

Creek and also for this nation. He has revealed to

me more ofmy family that will be going to R17. "

You said, "Melinda is ready and Shirley, and

Sheena." Then you said, "I won't be going back

until my apartment is finished because I canno

stay among the wicked any longer in that place. will be going on February 1

st, taking those ladies,

and I pray there will be more named to either come

to this place or that place by that time. "

At 6:30 a.m. I heard you say something, but

couldn't tell what you said, so I was listening.

knelt up, and you said, "Hello, are you there?"

said, "Yes, I am right here." You said, "Stand up

so I know you are awake, " so I stood up. You were

still in such intense suffering. You told me to go

call Isaac and tell him to call William Jessop and

tell him that you were not able to be at the meeting

this morning, to carry on as usual, that you would

try to get with him later today. So I went and called

him and told him. When I came back, you told me

to go get Ida and then you told me to get my things

and go get ready somewhere else and then to ge

the meeting and take my notebook and read wha

wasn't recorded and then to tell Uncle Fred tha

the Lord hadyou in hand all night, ever since you

got here, that you weren't able to meet with him to

listen to this meeting, but you would try to get with

him when you could. I typed up what was not said

so it would be easier to read.

Uncle Wendell offered a prayer at the first o

the meeting because I told him the prayer was cu

off. After the meeting was over and we listened to

the ending prayer, I turned it off right after that.

Uncle Wendell said afterwards, "Well, there i

nothing more to be said, that was so heavenly.

Uncle Fred what do you think? Do you think thi

should be our training time, we go and ponder

what was said here, instead of meeting, and then

meet this afternoon?" Uncle Fred said, "Yes, that

is wisdom. We need to ponder what has been

said." Everyone was very attentive, alert.

12:27 p.m.

At 10:30 p.m. I reported to you what had

happened between 4:50 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Evenwhile I was reporting, I could feel your body still

trembling as I heldyour hand. You took my hand

and put it on your heart and said, "What do you

feel?" I could feel you were still trembling, that

you were still in session. You called Isaac and told

him to talk to Jim Oler and MacRae Oler, Spencer

and MacRae Blackmore and tell them they just

need to wait in Short Creekfo r you until you are

able to meet them, to also get holdofMoroni Steed

and Wendell Jeffs and tell them to just wait there

for you until you could talk to them. Isaac gaveyou a report on what was happening there.

At 11:00 0 'clock a.m. your body started to jolt

and jerk. There was such a power, just a surge

through me. I couldfeel the Lord's presence here.

You said, "I think the Lord wants to talk to me. Go

tell the men to go do other things until I can get

with them. I am not able to go right now. "

At 11:15 a.m. you went unconscious. At 11:20

a.m. you said, "The Lord is through with the

httljhe(JI teal iii Sho; t C; eek. Ti;ey UJ e h, iaging agreater scourge upon them than they realize.

When they drive the faithful and when there is only

the ungodly there, the Lord will handle them and

all their works ofdarkness will be thwarted. The

Lord has a message for that people and for this

nation. He wants me to write something. I am

seeking to know. "

At 11:30 a.m. you came to. You said, "When,

oh when, will there be a people?" You asked how

long you had been unconscious. I told you fifteen

minutes. You asked what time it was and I toldyou

11:30 a.m. Your body started trembling again,

and jolting, twisting. You went

unconscious again soon after that. Then you said,

"What is the name of Kimball Barlow's

daughter?" I don't know what her name is. You

said, "What are the names of he next two oldest

daughters of Richard Allred?" I would have to

look. I don' t know. You said, "This isso great, the

pressure I feel. Something is happening inside of

me. I am being changed. The desires of his earth

are going away from me. All earthly things are

becoming so-----, " I couldn't quite tell the word

you used. It sounded like you said, "despicable"

but I wasn 't sure that was the exact word you used.

Your body continued to tremble.

At 11:45 a.m. you said, "I need the Lord's

guidance on the revelation He wants me to give

this people. Pray for me. Exert yourself ." And I

know the Lord will give you the revelation you

need. It is for us to pray continually that you will

receive that revelation every day, that we may be

enlightened by you, through you.

At 11:50 a.m. you groanedand sighed and said,

"I have got to go talk to Uncle Fred and Uncle

Wendell when the Lord allows. I am seeking to

know His mindand will ofwhat I should do. 1feel

like I am supposed to write something." Your bodytrembled again. You said, "Oh, my. What is

happening to me? Whatis happening?" At 12:05

p.m. you said, "This is the most wicked generation

there has ever been on this earth. My whole being

tremblesfor Zion in great suffering. I am yearning

for the overthrow of his world and the ushering in

of the great redemption of Zion, the Millennium

Reign ofpeace, when God Himselfwi ll dwell upon

this earth for a thousand years. I will not cease

trembling until that time comes. Then you went

very still andquiet untilyou came to at 12:15 p.m.

Your body started trembling again outwardly

right as you came to again. I know it is constantly

trembling inwardly, that it never goes away. I can

feel the power ofyour Priesthood, the power and

majesty ofGod in you, that He is working through

you. I know that no matter what, you will bring

about, the Lord will through you, the redemption

ofZion. It isfor us, no matter what it takes, to be

willing to go through whatever experience it takes

to qualify to come back into His presence. I knowthat is your yearning desire for us all. It is now

12:42 p.m.

2:39 p.m.

I last gotfinished reporting to you at 12:40 p.m.

You have been through a very severe suffering all

night, and all day it has continued. As you were

going unconscious, your body was trembling. You

told me to sit in the chair. There were times I had

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/states-exhibit-223-ph-january-24-2004 5/9

to come and kneel by you so I could hear what you

were saying.

At 1:00 0 'clock p.m. as your tremblingbecame

more severe, you twisted over in the bed onto your

back, your head flipped backwards, your back

bowed, your body trembled. Then you turned back

onto your side. You said, "What is happening?

What is happening to me?" I know the Lord knowswhat He is doing. At that time you said, "Every

revelation comes through great suffering. "

Yes.

At 1:15 p.m. you said, "I also need to give this

training to James Dockstader's son and Rulon

Jessop Jr." You said, "The Lord has something

for me to do before I go to Short Creek, and also

He is keeping me here because of what is

happening there. I have yearned that He will tell

me when to give the "scatter order" but I don't

think it will be until I give His message to the

nation. "

You said, "He is revealing to me more of my

enemies. I cannot have any confidence or trust in

William Knudson. He is an open enemy. I must be

very careful how I handle and what I allow Leon

Jessop to do. He is so unstable andhas not had the

Spirit of God for so long. He will become an

enemy." You said you needed to be careful with

Marion Jessop and also Robert Steed. You said,

"PhlilP Mackert Sr. IS an open enemy. He IS veryactive in giving information to the government,

that someone else gives to him." You said, "The

Lord has shown me many men's hearts, some that

are very stalwart, some that are in the secret

combination and conspiracy against me. Some of

the guards that guard me are not with me, the ones

that have been at the meeting house, waiting for

me, like Steven Barlow. Although he professes

loyalty, he is very fearful that I will handle him. "

You named another name, but I couldn't tell what

you said. The last name was Barlow, but I couldn'ttell the first name.

At 1:40 p.m. your body trembled very severely

again. You twisted over in the bed. The blanket

fel l onto the floor. I put it back over you. Your

body was still trembling very severely. You said,

"What is happening? What is happening? As the

Lord shows me what is about to happen to the

people in Short Creek and to this nation and most

ofall what is about to happen to the faithful ones

my whole body trembles for Zion. I am willing to

be the sacrifice to make the atonement, whatever i

takes; but the Lordwill spare my life, and mine wil

be a living sacrifice. "

At 2:000 'clock p. m. you said, "At R17 the Lor

wants established, as soon as the storehouse i

complete, men in place to take slaughter thanimals." You again named Ben Johnson. You

also named that Wendell Jeffs would help in tha

effort. You saidyou needed one more person. The

Lord would reveal to you who He wanted. You

didn't name another person yet. You said that you

needed to get another trailer house there. You sai

that as soon as possible Joseph Jessop and his wif

were to start organizing the storehouse because h

would be the caretaker of hat, his family would

You would show him how the Lord wanted it done

You said thatyou would have Kate and Tammy anMelinda also help in organizing that effort

At 2:15 p.m. you said, "The Lord is pressing m

to get that house done. As ast as they get it done, i

needs to be filled. There just isn't any time. The

faithful will be driven. I need the Lord's guidanc

to find them. This is no small matter. Again you

said, "Ifeellike I am supposed to write something

You groaned and sighed and said, "The Lord wi

do it. He will do it." Then you went still agai

until 2:30 p.m. It is now 2:55 p.m.

4:00 p.m. Talking to Jerry Jessop Jr.

On the Phone

Hello Jerry. This is Warren Jeffs. Can you hea

me well? Two weeks ago the Lord told me tha

you do not hold Priesthood and your wives ar

released and should return to their father's home

You and your son Ashley should move away at

told me to handle, but I'm giving you the official

word. Stay in contact, dear brother, so you won't

go the wrong way. This is the Lord's love for you

to tell you the truth that you don't hold Priesthood,

and begin an effort of cleaning up.

I will be informing the Bishop and call on you

to carry that out. Will you do it? Gather your

family right now and see to it. God bless you, if

you will do right. Yes, I want you to send me a

letter of why the Spirit of God has not been with

you and the Lord has withdrawn Priesthood from

you. Your next contact with me is a letter of

confession. But carry this out. As soon as you can

move away with your son Ashley from off ofUEP

land, and your wives go to their father's dominion

for now. That's the word of the Lord to you, and

how quickly you carry it out will show if you are

with Him or not.

I'm telling you this was told me two weeks ago.If you will take it right, it will be a blessing to you.

If you do not, then I must let you go. But I hope

and pray you will stay in the path ofrepentance and

seek Priesthood in your life. God bless you and

please do this right. I will be calling the fathers of

hese, your wives, and telling them to gather up

their daughters.

Okay, gather up your family and arrange that

lease. Any questions? You can hear me still?ello? Okay

8:09 p.m. Naomie's Testimony

You have really been through an extreme

intense suffering today and through the night. The

last time I reported to you I got finished at 2:55

p.m. You got a phone call and you were on the

phone for quite a while. You called Jerry Jessop

Jr. and told him he didn't hold Priesthood, that the

Lord showed you two weeks ago that he did not

Fiola Pfieslflool1 and thai he ana' his Sun Ashteywere to move offof he UEP land and repent rom a

distance. You took care of many issues at hand

and by 5:20 p. m. the Lord gave four revelations to

you that you wrote down. You said that the Lord

could just give you this next revelation, that you

knew He could, but you needed to seek and pray

harder for it. You had me start typing these

revelations. You got ready to go out, but as you

went to go out the door, you were stopped and you

could not. Your body started to tremble. You said,

"The Lord will not let me out of his room." Youwere conscious, going through a very severe

intense training, until 6:40 p.m. That is when you

went unconscious.

At 6:45 p.m. your body jolted and trembledfor

just a moment. Then, as I was praying for you, I

looked up and you were gone. There was such an

overpoweringfeeling here in this room. There was

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/states-exhibit-223-ph-january-24-2004 8/9

such a power ofburning peace here. At 7: 10 p.m.

as I looked up again, I could see you laying there.

At 7:20 p.m. you said, "The Lord is shutting me

down for some reason. I am seeking unto Him

what to do." I know He can give you instant

energy and increased strength as He chooses and

He will do it.

At 7:30 p.m. you said, "There is so muchhappening, so much. It is terrible what is going to

take place soon. The Lord keeps warning me to be

careful with certain men, that they do not hold

Priesthood and are seeking my life and are part of

the conspiracy. He has revealed to me my sister

Carol is not with me. "

At 7:45 p.m. your body was trembling again,

you said, "Uncle Fred's son with red hair, what is

his name?" I am not sure. He has a Wendell with

red hair. You said he would be receiving a wife.

You didn't name a name. You said, "The Lord has

shown me his heart. He is very sweet and obedient

to Uncle Fred." At 7:50 p.m. you said, "Uncle

Fred's daughter Stella, she will also be getting

married." You didn't name a namefor her either.

You said, "The Lord is showing me that He is

through with those men who profess to believe in

what I am doing and then go and turn state's

evidence. He will handle them very soon. What

Ross Chatwin did on Friday is a very grievous sin.

1he Lora WUl handle mm.

At 8:000 'clock p.m. your groaned and sighed

and said, "When, oh when, will there be a people. "

You started trembling again. At 8:10 p.m. you

came to and said, "What has been happening? I

must have been taken away." It is now 8:25 p.m.

9:39 p.m.

I finished talking to you last at 8:25 p.m. You

got off he chair and laid on the bed. You said, "I

am so miserable. Everything in me is so

miserable." You went back unconscious by 8:50p.m. You said you still would be going to Short

Creek, that the Lord would open up the way. You

said you were going there to do the weddings and

also to make some corrections and to talk to those

brethren. You said that you would be giving Stella,

Uncle Fred's daughter, to Eldon Johnson, that his

son Wendell would be receiving the next daughter

ofRichard Allred. Then you said, "Is Kathryn her

name?" I don't know what her name is. I can find

out.

At 9: 15 p.m. you groaned and sighed. Your

body started trembling. It didn't tremble severely

but it did tremble. You said, "I am just worthless,

so worthless." You are the greatest man on earth,

the Lord guides you. I know He will keep you

where He wants you and send you where He wantsyou to go. At 9:20 p.m. you said, "Oh, my. Oh, my.

There is so much on my mind. The pressure is so

great, ye t I am so willing to carry it, the Lord

helping me." Then you came to at 9:40 p.m.

11:20 p.m.

The last I talked to you, Ifinished at 8:30 p.m.

You were taken unconscious again. At 9:00

o 'clock p.m. you said, "Is Wendell, Uncle Fred's

son, LaDonna's son?" As far as I know he is

Karen's. You said, "I am thinking ofLaDonna 's

son." I guess there is one that is old enough to be

married, but I don't know what his name is. You

said, "This is LaDonna 's son that I am thinking of,

not Karen's, for Richard's daughter." I said,

"Okay." You said, "Is his name Edson?" I am

sorry, Ijust don't know. I am sure the Lordreveals

to you what their names are. You said, "Find out.

Before we leave, find out what their names are." I

wasn't sure i fyou wanted me to do it right then. I

didn't go and do it because you were still in very

dee" session vou said "The 'ord sure is sMPping1 i 1me. I am just yearning to know what He wants

done. "

At 9:20 p.m. your body trembled for just a

moment. There was such an overpoweringfeeling

in this room. Again you were taken away

physically until 10:10 p.m. I felt very impressed to

pray for you to be able to receive whatever

instruction the Lord had, that you would know

what to do. At 10:10 p.m. as !looked up at you and

saw you again, your body trembled very severely

for afew seconds. Then you said, "Okay, okay.You were very still and quiet until 10: 45p.m. Then

you said, "The Lord is pressing upon my mind to

take another young girl. I am just reaching to

know His will. I don't want to be slow." You said,

"LaMar Johnson's daughter Permillia." Then

you said, "I am trying to understand it all. This is

so amazing, so amazing. You groaned and

sighed and again you went very still and quiet until

11:10 p.m. Then you said, "Whatever the Lord

requires, I will do, whatever His will is. I am not

seeking anything ofmyself. I only yearn to do His

will, to do as He directs. There is still something I

must do here before we leave, still something I

must do. I am yearning the Lord to show me. JJ You

groaned and sighed and said, "Okay, okay. JJ

At 11:15 p. m. you said, "With all these

corrections I have made, with the ones I made

yesterday, you will see the wicked come at me

faster than ever, but I am not afraid, for I trust that

the Lord will guide me as He has so many times;

and I know He will. JJ Then you said, "It is so great,

such a great weight I feel, such a great weight. JJ

Then you went quiet until 11:20 p.m. you said,

"Two more hours have gone by. JJ It is now 11: 33
