things. These dealings with these two human
agents has greatly alarmed me. They fail to hear
and retain the words I speak to them. And the
words which they do not hear, are the words which
require a reformation in life practice, to do these
things which they consider will humiliate self, and
they will deny that these words were spoken to
them.
I have been shown that all who love indulgence
in sin, are the ones who do not hear, do not
perceive the words spoken. Why? Because evil
angels have so long led them and controlled their
powers, that the words, spoken to awaken
conviction, are changed by Satan to mean
something else. This is evidencing the power of
Satan over human ears to hear things all crooked
and strange; and the very things which the Lord
would have them hear, they do not understand.
They say that you never spoke to them the words
that you know you did speak. But Satan interrupted
the words so that they did not hear them.
