I am glad I was here. Now I am clear, I am fully clear... All is well; the Seed of God reigns over all and over death itself. And though I am weak in body, yet the power of God is over all, and the Seed reigns over all disorderly spirits.

As I spoke, he several times said, it was very good, and it was truth. I told him that all Christendom (so called) had the Scriptures, but they wanted the power and Spirit that those had who gave forth the Scriptures; and that was the …

These are members of the Church who know the work in the operation and feeling and come to be members one of another. They who come to the Church that is in God and Christ, must come out of the state that Adam is in, in the Fall, to know …

Why should any man have power over any other man's faith, seeing Christ Himself is the author of it?

What! are all true Christians priests? Yes. What! are women priests? Yes, women priests.

The Lord showed me, so that I did see clearly, that he did not dwell in these temples which men had commanded and set up, but in people's hearts … his people were his temple, and he dwelt in them.

They asked me whether the Scripture was the word of God. I said, God was the Word and the Scriptures were writings; and the Word was before writings were, which Word did fulfil them.

What had any to do with the Scriptures, but as they came to the Spirit that gave them forth. You will say, Christ saith this, and the apostles say this; but what canst thou say? Art thou a child of Light and hast walked in the Light, and …

But I told them what it was, namely, the Holy Spirit, by which the holy men of God gave forth the Scriptures, whereby opinions, religions, and judgements were to be tried; for it led into all Truth, and so gave the knowledge of all Truth.

'Oh, no, it is not the Scriptures

I was to direct people to the Spirit that gave forth the Scriptures, by which they might be led into all Truth, and so up to Christ and God, as they had been who gave them forth… Yet I had no slight esteem of the Holy Scriptures, but they …

For I saw in that Light and Spirit, which was before Scripture was given forth and which led the holy men of God to give them forth, that all must come to that Spirit, if they would know God, or Christ, or the Scriptures aright, which they …

I said, ' Nay', but if he meant the one baptism with the spirit into one body, that we owned, but to throw a little water in a child's face and say it was baptised (or christened) there was no Scripture for that.

The sprinkling of infants I deny, and there is no Scripture that speaketh of a sacrament; but the baptism that is in Christ with one spirit into one body, that I confess; and the bread that the saints break is the body of Christ and the …

Friends, meet together and know one another in that which is eternal, which was before the world was.

Keep your Meetings, waiting in the Light, which from the Lord Jesus Christ doth come; so will ye receive Power from him, and have the refreshing Springs of Life opened to your Souls, and be kept sensible of the tender Mercies of the Lord.

as people come into subjection to the spirit of God, and grow up in the image and power of the Almighty, they may receive the Word of wisdom, that opens all things, and come to know the hidden unity in the Eternal Being.

the Lord showed me that such as were faithful to him in the power and light of Christ, should come up into that state in which Adam was before he fell, in which the admirable works of the creation, and the virtues thereof, may be known, …

I was come up to the state of Adam which he was in before he fell.

. All things were new; and all the creation gave another smell unto me than before

Now I was come up in spirit through the flaming sword, into the paradise of God

every one that comes into the world was enlightened by Christ the life, with which light they might see their sins and Christ their saviour, who was come to save them from their sin

I declared to the people the Gospel, the Truth, the light of Jesus Christ in their own hearts, which he had enlightened them that they might all come to, that let them see all that ever they had done, and said, and acted, and that would be …

I saw that the grace of God, which brings salvation, had appeared to all men, and that the manifestation of the Spirit of God was given to every man to profit withal. I saw that Christ had died for all men, and was a propitiation for all, …
