Day 1 – June 18
May we purify and sanctify our hearts through prayer and fasting. It is imperative for us to fast (exercising wisdom) and pray during these 10 days of preparation.
Day 2 – June 19
May we hearken unto God’s precepts, to learn wisdom. Let’s “continue in God” until that perfect day.
Day 3 – June 20
May we “thrust in our sickle” for this great work “pressing forward.”
Day 4 – June 21
May we pray for God to “lead us along” and trust in that leading.
Day 5 – June 22
May we walk in truth. Are we a fellow “helper of the truth” or do we need to see signs? Signs follow those that believe.
Day 6 – June 23
May we “ponder the things of God” today. May we “unwearyingly” declare His goodness to others.
Day 7 – June 24
Let us pray that He will “receive us unto Himself.” Ponder this.
Day 8 – June 25
May we always put Him first in our lives:
“BAKE ME A LITTLE CAKE FIRST”
by Hubert Case
I was awakened at 5 a.m., April 26, 1949; there came the following vision: I stood in front of a table on which there was a small cake being cut into squares. Then the still, small voice of the Spirit came to me saying, “Inasmuch as My people will bake Me a little cake first—as the prophet said to the widow and her son, ‘If you will bake me a little cake first, the meal in the barrel and the oil in the cruse shall not grow less’—so I say To My people today, your spiritual powers shall be increased, and your needs shall be met in times of great stress coming upon the nations. You will be in great need of daily bread, for there are great things required at your hands. You must show love for Me and each other if Zion is to be realized in your day and generation. This can only be done in great humility and love, witnessing for Me and the message you have received.”
My whole being vibrated with the power of the Spirit of the Lord, seeing the emergencies ahead of the Church.

Song In The Spirit by Joseph Luff, June 25, 1911
|
Sweet unto me the voice of supplication From hearts sincere. Sweet to my ear the humble adoration That greets me here. Be glad of heart; let not thy faith decline, I still am near and thou art ever mine. Walk in the light that on thy path now shineth
Church of my choice And whatsoe'er to me thy heart inclineth, Heed as my voice. Talk not of night, nor give to sadness room I am thy God; fore'er dismiss thy gloom. |
Whoso in love my counsel shall obey, No fear need know; My hand shall guide their feet and guard their way 'Gainst every foe. Yea, I will lead, thou shalt not plead in vain; My covenant with Zion shall remain.
Lift up thine eyes! thy skies are now aglow With rays divine! I am thy light! and o'er thy course below Fore'er will shine. My Spirit shall thy daily portion be, And thou art safe if thoul't abide in me. |
Day 9 – June 26
Jesus is the only light we should hold up. Holding up anything else will not do.
Day 10 – June 27
We must forgive one another “in our hearts” so the Lord can forgive us our trespasses and He can be glorified. Let us ponder the deaths of Joseph and Hyrum on this day, 182 years ago.
PROPHECY BY D. A. HUTCHINGS
Given April 9, 1912
Verily, thus saith the Lord: Your prayers and songs have come up before me and I am well pleased with them; come, let us reason together saith the Spirit. I have watched over my church with jealous care and I have mine angels to instruct and council my people; yea, mine angels are with you this morning and their holy influence will be felt by you. Your prayers have come up before me. The harvest is ripe; send forth more laborers.
Come, listen to my instructions I will give you. Look around now and see my servants. Am I not raising up servants to carry forth my gospel? Yea, even to the nations of the earth. Now listen to my instructions; the earth is mine; have I not placed treasures in the bowels of the earth? Could not I send my servants and reveal unto them where they are? You say why do I not do it that my work may prosper. Yea, my work must be done in mine own way. Have not I blessed many of you with the things of this world, and many of you have not consecrated of your means according to my law? Therefore pay your tithes and make your consecrations. Behold, I have established the Order of Enoch amongst you, and some oppose it. Now listen to the council I will give you; there are men among you I will bless and strengthen, yea by my strong arm will I strengthen and uphold them. Give heed unto my servants that I have placed in my church to carry on this work. Place in their hands the necessary means, so that my servants can be sent forth to the nations of the earth and the Isles of the sea, and I will raise up mine army of young men and send them forth with a strong arm; I will fill their hearts with love and their minds with wisdom, and give them inspiration: yea, I will give the endowment I have promised my people, and they will go forth to the nations of the earth and the islands of the sea, and preach my gospel to them in their own tongues inspired by my Spirit.
Some of you wonder how Zion will be redeemed, and my temple be built on the sacred spot my servants consecrated by my power. Hark! and listen to the voice of my Spirit, and I will instruct you. The Lamanites will be gathered into my fold and will comply with my law and consecrate their means. I am the Lord, I change not, my temple shall be reared on the sacred spot, and I will overshadow it with my power. Therefore, doubt not concerning it, obey my law and keep my commandments and leave the rest in my hands. Amen.
