Some
have stumbled over the fact that I said I did not claim to be a prophet
and they have asked, Why is this?
I
have had no claims to make, only that I am instructed that I am the
Lords messenger; that He called me in my youth to be His
messenger, to receive His word, and to give a clear and decided message
in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Early
in my youth I was asked several times, Are you a prophet?
I have ever responded, I am the Lords messenger.
I know that many have called me a prophet, but I have made no
claim to this title.
MY
SAVIOUR
declared
me
to
be
HIS
MESSENGER.
Your work, He instructed me, is to bear My
word. Strange
things will arise, and in your youth I set you apart to bear the message
to the erring ones, to carry the word before unbelievers, and with pen
and voice to reprove from the Word actions that are not right.
Exhort from the Word.
I will make My Word open to you.
It shall not be as a strange language.
In the true eloquence of simplicity, with voice and pen, the
messages that I give shall be heard from one who has never learned in
the schools.
My Spirit and My power shall be with you.
Be
not afraid of man, for My shield shall protect you.
It is not you that speaketh: it is the Lord that giveth the
messages of warning and reproof.
Never deviate from the truth under any circumstances.
Give the light I shall give you.
The messages for these last days shall be written in books, and
shall stand immortalized, to testify against those who have once
rejoiced in the light, but who have been led to give it up because of
the seductive influences of evil.
Why have I not claimed to be a prophet?Because in these days many who boldly claim that they are prophets are a reproach to the cause of Christ; and because my work includes much more than the word prophet signifies. Ellen White, Selected Messages Volume 1, pg 31-32
