The Restoration Church of Jesus Christ’s “Lost Revelations” of Hidden Treasures and Promises.

While on a trip in Framingham, MA., on 15 October 1987, Acting President Robert M. McIntier retired to his motel room and approached the Lord in prayer concerning the future of the Church and the direction that should be taken in leading the Church and healing the wounds that had been caused by the former leadership. He was concerned that the Church was lead by an “Acting President,” and felt the need for the leadership of a prophet. In response to his request for guidance, he was blessed with the following revelation.

1 Write these things unto My people, saying, “THUS SAITH THE LORD: Ye must return unto Me, for ye have strayed. For your hearts are far from Me and My holy ordinances.

2 Turn yourselves, therefore, and renew yourselves in the covenants which ye have previously taken upon yourselves.

3 Yea, covenant with Me again, in the presence of one another, and covenant one with another that ye will keep My laws, and that ye will assist one another to do the things which I have commanded you to do.”

4 And if ye are faithful in doing this, the time is near when I shall raise up a prophet among you. For my people have been lead by prophets throughout the ages, and it shall be so with this people if they seek Me and keep My laws.

5 But if they keep not My laws, and follow not the words of the prophets of the past, and believe not in their words, how, then, shall they believe in a prophet today?

6 And ye shall teach this people to observe My Holy Sabbath, and to keep it holy and sacred, for the observance of the Sabbath has been a sign of My true believers throughout all the generations of Israel.

7 On this day, ye shall rest from your labors and do those things which shall cause My Spirit to increase in your hearts and in your homes. Nevertheless it shall be a joyful day, and not a day for long faces. Ye shall be joyful in the remembrance of My sacraments and My ordinances.

8 I know My little flock, and I love them. Let them now put their trials behind them, and let them move forward boldly, proclaiming My love to all who will hear, for there are many who are now prepared to hear My words. I will go before you and prepare the hearts of many more, and your numbers shall increase.

9 Seek those whom I have prepared. They are among you, even in all of your communities. Search in the places where your people are.

10 And if ye shall seek My Spirit as ye go, ye shall surely find My chosen flock, for they are waiting for you to call them forth into the light.

11 Tell My children to be of good cheer, for I am with you.

12 Evenso. Amen.

Since Pres. McIntier announced in April that he was accepting a job assignment in Germany, speculation had arisen in the Church about who would succeed him as President of the Church. Much discussion had also taken place about who would be members of the quorum of Apostles, which the President had indicated would be organized at the September general conference. Concerned at the problems which might arise from this kind of speculation, Pres. McIntier sought the direction of the Lord. After spending a sleepless night, he again pleaded with the Lord for an indication of how to proceed, and in the early hours of the morning on 11 May 1989 the Lord answered his plea for guidance with the following revelation.

1 Listen now to the voice of thy Redeemer, and give heed to the words which I shall give thee.

2 Blessed art thou, My son, for the desires of thine heart; for thou hast sought to do those things which will lead to growth among My children. And for that which has been done, I commend thee; nevertheless there is much more to be done, and in some things thou hast erred.

3 Thou hast seen in times past how My will has been accomplished in ways that were unexpected unto thee, and it shall be so again– even in the manner of the organization of My church after thy departure to Germany. Thou has thought that this may be a time of rest from My work, but it shall not be so. I have much for thee to do, and the purposes for which I have called thee are yet fulfilled. Therefore, think not that thou shalt be released from this burden. That day shall surely come, but it shall not be so until thou hast completed all that I have sent thee forth to do.

4 I have given unto thee that thou shouldest restore the faith of My children in Apostles and Prophets, and in doing this thou hast only begun. And how shall they gain this faith, except they shall see My chosen twelve united in love in the administration of My kingdom? Therefore, thou shalt proceed, as I have shown thee before, to organize a quorum of Apostles. Behold, the four who now bear that office in this part of My kingdom shall be the beginning of that Quorum.

5 Next, thou shalt call upon My servants, Douglas B. Madrid, Charlie E. Morgan, Bruce E. Fraer, and Carole L. Dee, to join with the membership of that quorum. Let them begin at once to meet with the four, that they may be schooled in the duties of their calling.

6 Thou shalt see that these do not function as Apostles until after the September conference, that the principle of common consent may be upheld. Nevertheless, let them go with mine apostles and assist them, that they may learn to function together in love with those who now serve in that office.

7 And there are others upon whom My spirit has descended, upon whom this sacred calling shall rest. Thou shalt continue to labor in love with these, that the day may come quickly when they also may become one with the Apostles. Watch and pray always, that My spirit may guide thee unto these others, and wait for the day when there shall be twelve who can love together and act as one before Me.

8 Do these things quickly, but not in haste, and then shall another be called, that thou mayest go on to the other things that I have shown thee.

9 Thou shalt send again unto My servant David A. Ewing, and invite him once more to unite with his brothers and sisters, that I may fulfill the promises which were made unto him. If he shall respond, let him show a period of faithful activity, and then shall he also be numbered with the quorum of Apostles.

10 Study My words, especially those given unto my servant Joseph Smith Jr., regarding the duties of the Apostleship. Seek also the guidance of My Spirit, that it may become clear unto this people how the duties of the Apostles differ from those of the Presidency of the High Priesthood.

11 Let my servant Pamela J. Calkins take her rightful place as the president of the Quorum of Apostles, and let her lead out in teaching those who are called to this quorum their duties.

12 Let the presidency continue in the administrative matters, for the office of presidency is established that there may be order in My house. It is necessary that the body have a head, that all the workings of the body may be coordinated. Therefore, as I have said before, it is given unto the Presidency to preside over the whole church, and all who labor in this part of the kingdom do so under the leadership of the Presidency.

13 Let the Apostles learn to perform their duties without the need for constant supervision from the Presidency. The Presidency shall provide for the general leadership and direction of the work, and the Apostles shall go forward to accomplish their portion of the work in love and in harmony with the direction of the Presidency.

14 Now go, My son, and do these things. I will continue to guide thee, and all of My servants, as ye collectively and individually seek My spirit. Know of My love for thee, and for ALL of My children. Encourage them. Lift them up. Testify unto them of My love, for great are the blessings which are soon to be poured out upon these people. Even so. Amen.

Throughout the month of May 1990, a number of important matters had occupied the minds of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve, including some feelings about new callings for several people, and how to deal with some problems with individual members of the Church.

In response to these concerns, Pres. Mcintier began a fast on 25 May, and continued until late on 26 May. During the fast, a list of questions and problems was placed on the altar of the temple. At the completion of the fast, he sought the Lord in prayer at the altar. The following morning, 27 May, after again praying for guidance and partaking of the Lord’s Supper in the temple, he was blessed with the following revelation.

1 Listen now, and hear the words of Those who love thee. Blessed art thou, Our son, for the desires of thine heart; for We have heard thy plea, and will answer thee plainly.

2 Thou shalt continue as thou has begun in the process of personal purification, for there is yet more to be purged before thy soul shall be entirely clean before Us. Nevertheless, be of good cheer, and know that We have seen your struggles.

3 Sacrifice shall indeed bring forth the blessings of heaven upon thy head, and the day shall surely come when We shall look down from Our thrones and declare that thy sacrifice is sufficient, and that thy sins are forgiven.

4 Until that day, thou shalt continue in patience to do that which We have called thee to do, for despite thy weaknesses, thou knowest whereof thou has been called. Thou shalt teach the members of the Quorum of the Twelve the process of purification, that they too may prepare to receive that which We desire to bestow upon thee.

5 And now, as thou hast inquired, following the pattern thou hast been taught, We will give thee answers to the questions which have troubled thine heart.

6 Thou shalt proceed as the Spirit has lead thee, to call upon Our servant Lynn LaMaster, to serve as a missionary in Salt Lake City. There are many in that city and in the regions near thereto whom We have carefully prepared to accept her message. Let her go there and teach, both by precept and by example, that those who hear her voice may hear Our voice through her.

7 And this shall be but the beginning of the missionary callings, for there are others among thee, and who shall soon be numbered among thee, upon whom the spirit of missionary work has fallen. These shall be called and ordained unto the office of Seventy, and sent to the places where Our children are prepared to hear them.

8 Let Our servant, Carole Dee, remain as thy counselor for a season, for indeed her calling is elsewhere, but she has much yet to learn. Let her dwell upon the ordinances of Our holy house, and let her take the responsibility for the house, for in the ordinances thereof shall her new calling be made more clearly manifest. Nevertheless, let the temple remain in Sacramento until after the conference.

9 To the Church in general, We say that ye must repent, for there are many, from the highest unto the least, who have been quick to judge their brothers and sisters. And many have been guilty of repeating stories, the truth of which is not known unto them.

10 Let the Bishopric and the Aaronic Priesthood take the lead in admonishing those who gossip, or who find fault, or who backbite, for this is their calling, to see that there is no iniquity in the Church. Let them labor in patience and in love, and those who receive of their counsel and repent shall be forgiven.

11 And those who will not receive their admonition, and who will not repent, shall not have fellowship with the Church, for the purposes for which We have caused this little flock to be gathered cannot be accomplished amidst strife.

12 Unto Our son, Randy Mangham, thou shalt say that his prayers have been heard, and they shall be answered in blessings far greater than he has imagined. And let him now prepare, that his house be set in order in every way, that he may be presented to the Conference of the Church to join with his brothers and sisters in the Quorum of the Twelve, for truly this is his calling.

13 Let the Saints in Missouri and in New Mexico be encouraged, and let the Apostles take special care to nurture those areas, that the message might be brought to the many who await their invitation to return to the fold. Much good shall come from these places in their season.

14 To the Quorum of the Twelve, it is wisdom that ye labor together, and not singly. Go therefore two by two, as much as your means shall permit, and this ye shall do under the direction of your president. Learn to follow where she shall lead. For though the road may seen unclear at times, know that We are directing the Quorum through her.

15 Continue in the preparation of the revelations, that every member of the Church may have access to that which We have revealed unto this special flock. Teach them to study Our words, for there is much wisdom in them, and many shall find answers to their problems which have already been revealed.

16 Now there is more, which We desire to reveal unto thee. Go first, and act upon these instructions, and then shall more be given.

17 Our love for this flock has not faltered, even in times of their weakness and folly, for these are special unto Us. Be ye likewise constant unto Us, and to the gospel which has been committed to your care.

18 Do these things, and ye shall yet be blessed to see Our Faces and know of a surety of Our love. Evenso. Amen.

In September of 1991, Pres. Douglas Madrid, of the Quorum of the Twelve, presented Pres. McIntier with a revelation he had received regarding a future calling to the presidency of the Church. because many elements of this revelation corresponded exactly with personal revelation received by Pres McIntier, he accepted it as being the word of the Lord. In the weeks that followed, however, Pres. McIntier had the feeling that something as important as a change in the presidency ought to have a more certain confirmation from the Lord. With this in mind, he sought the will of the Lord, and on 21 October, 1991 he received the following revelation. The revelation not only confirmed the one Pres. Madrid had received, but also gave other direction for the Church.

1 Blessed are those who seek to establish My words, and to preach peace and liberation to those who sit in darkness. Great is the reward prepared for those who seek first to raise My special flock from the sins of this generation.

2 Cursed be those who try in vain to use My holy name for the establishment of their own purposes, for their hypocrisy shall be made known unto those whom they endeavor to deceive. Therefore, concern yourselves no more over these, and waste not the precious resources I have placed in your midst on causes that cannot advance the work you have been given to do.

3 And that this work might go forward with increased speed and vigor, the time is fast approaching when you shall be relieved of your burden. You will then be free to use the gifts We have blessed you with, which have heretofore been kept in waiting, while you and others have been preparing for that which lies ahead.

4 That which has been received by My servant Douglas Madrid is of Me. For indeed, We, and many of the hosts of heaven, have been mindful of this man, and have been preparing him, and protecting him, and shielding him from great danger, even in times when he knew not the dangers which were before him. And this We have done that he might be preserved and prepared to lead this special flock.

5 And you shall say unto this people that I have called him; and he shall be thy successor in the Presidency of the High Priesthood, if he remains faithful. When the time has come for this to be accomplished, behold, I will reveal it, both unto you, and unto him, that there may be two witnesses in this matter. Other witnesses shall also be given to many who seek to know the truth. In that day shall he reveal to the Church that which he has received of me, which I directed that he should show unto  you and to the Patriarch.

6 Remember in all that you do to honor the Law of Witnesses. You shall be a witness of his calling, and shall bear testimony to the world that he has been called and prepared from on high. Likewise, he shall bear witness of your calling, for you shall be required to do great things in advancing the missionary work of the Church, and in bearing your special witness to those that you are lead to.

7 Proceed quickly to begin anew the ordinances of My holy house. You and the Patriarch shall teach My servant Carole, and instruct her more fully in the ordinances of the Temple. She has not yet understood the nature of her calling in the work of the temple, but soon she shall know, not only by that which she has learned at the hands of My servants, but also by revelation.

8 Where there are sufficient numbers of My children prepared for worship in My house, you shall organize regular prayer circles, that the needs of this flock may be raised on high through the ordinance that was instituted for that very purpose. And where your numbers are smaller, let the saints who are prepared assemble themselves in the temple individually and collectively to pray and to meditate upon the glories of the kingdom that is in your midst.

9 As I have said unto you before, I now say again unto you, and unto all who would be My servants, “Study that which your God has given you. Ponder the meaning of what has already been revealed, and conform yourselves to  these principles; for only as you understand the depth of these teachings, and only as you begin to practice the principles thereof, will you be prepared to receive more. I desire to add more to these words, but ye, meaning the Church collectively, are not prepared to receive. Study the scriptures, and learn of Me, and pray for the enlightenment of My Holy Spirit, that you may each know individually what I require of you. Then go and do the things which the Spirit shall impress upon your hearts.”

10 Your Heavenly Parents desire great and wonderful things to happen in the lives of many, through the ministrations of the priesthood in this part of the kingdom. Therefore, go and show unto the world, not only by your words, but by your works, that you are indeed My people. I will bless you in this, and will multiply your efforts. be at peace, knowing that it is not the work of man that you establish, but My work and it shall verily triumph. Evenso. Amen.

President Douglas B. Madrid, of the Quorum of the Twelve, received the following revelation on 27 August 1991. In his journal, he recorded the following thoughts:

“Today I received a revelation while I was in my office/study at home. I was struggling to put together a talk for Saturday’s Business Session of Conference. I couldn’t decide on anything so I decided to pray. I had to struggle to focus and otherwise concentrate on expressing my feelings, thoughts, and desires.

Finally it occurred to me that I needed to review my life since my last repentant request and noted sins that I hadn’t discussed with my Savior. I sought His forgiveness. I asked my Heavenly Parents to recall my Savior’s atoning sacrifice; I begged them to cleanse me, calling on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. I suddenly became uplifted and freed from the burden of sin. I was filled with joy.

I further expressed my concerns about it being so long since I renewed and reviewed my temple covenants in the Temple. I asked them to help us to never allow this to occur again, if it is at all possible.

I voiced my fears and concerns for the well-being of the Church. Prior to prayer I had been browsing through a couple books attempting to provoke thoughts that would help settle on a topic and begin to write out a draft speech/sermon. My mind was drawn to welfare needs and I shared these with Them, as well. Shortly after I concluded my prayer, I was encouraged by the Holy Spirit to write. It was then that I heard the words of the Savior in my heard and mind.”

1 Douglas. We’ve heard thy pleadings and thou art forgiven thou art a vessel of the Lord and must bear His word to the people.

2 Be thou an ensign unto this people, yea, stand upon the tower; watch and pray. Thou must prepare this people for the days of tribulation and peace.

3 There are many who are prepared to be with thee; thou must seek them out and bring them in.

4 Thou art a shepherd of shepherds; teach them their duty and persuade them to do it with a singular purpose.

5 The Twelve are to bring in the folds from the four corners.

6 I shall require greater sacrifices of thee and thy people; warn them, prepare them, teach them about sacrifice. Out of thy sacrifices shall great blessings and joy come.

7 Thou seekest My face; this is pleasing unto Me. Thou aren’t prepared; apply thyself more diligently to My work and My glory. As you qualify yourself in this manner thou shalt surely receive thy just reward!

8 The time is drawing nigh when thou shalt assume the presidency of this church.

9 Continue in thy preparations with My servant, Robert, as thy tutor and prompter. He has served Me well. 

10 Thou shall be as Noah, a great preacher and leader.

11 As thou goest forward with thy labors, I shall cause dreams and visions to befall thee; these dreams shall serve as guideposts to mark thy way.

12 I shall send Noah and Abraham, as before, to instruct thee in My ways; in time thou shalt be transfigured to converse with Us and receive keys and authorities preparatory to My return.

13 Thou art the prophet unto thy people; lack not in thine ability to conduct these things.

14 Compare not thyself unto others who’ve gone before, for these are unique times.

15 Trust in thy God for deliverance and direction in all things, I shall be thy guide and shall reveal all things unto thee which thou shalt say and do.

16 Some time ago, I appeared unto thee in a dream and I showed thee glimpses of the future; thou wast shown a scene with thy counselors at thy side.

17 The veil was rent from the face of one and not the other. I have permitted thee to remember his face and description for a wise purpose.

18 For a great time thou thought his identity was David, but now thou knowest the error of this assumption.

19 The confirmation of this surely came upon first sight of My servant, Larry, a humble, holy man.

20 My beloved son, it is he who is to be thy faithful friend and counselor.

21 great shall by thy ministry with him!

22 Do not despair. I shall rend the veil over thy second counselor soon; she shall soon be sufficiently prepared and willing.

23 Thou shalt serve long with these counselors.

24 Love them and trust in their counsels as I shall inspire and prompt them; together provide stability and leadership to the body of this church.

25 Lead them to greater heights of love, devotion, and service; swiftly discard all haughtiness and discontent; be thou humble and patient for My word.

26 Thine administration shall preside over much change and growth; the programs of this church shall grow to meet the varied needs of a growing membership.

27 Many shall hear My voice and come unto thy people for baptism; these shall replenish thy strength; the stalwart and strong shall come.

28 These shall progress in the offices and orders of the Priesthood and in knowledge and stature.

29 Temple work shall flourish and many new things shall be revealed to perfect the labors there; temples shall be erected and dedicated.

30 As this people continues to remember covenants received therein, great knowledge and power shall flow unto thee as the dews of heaven; thy people shall be a blessed people and shall be beacons of light.

31 Call upon this people to serve their neighbors; be not thou self-serving nor selfish.

32 Be liberal unto My poor and needy.

33 Beware! In these last days there shall be many wolves; it is thy duty to offer and extend protection for My little ones!

34 Love them and nourish them; be thou consistent in all thy dealings with them.

35 Great miracles and signs shall accompany this great labor of love; be bold in faith! Heal the sick, raise the dead, unveil and cast out demon spirits.

36 Great is My love for this little flock!

37 Be bold and diligent as Noah and Abraham! Fear not for thy life for greater is the next, for thou shalt be nigh unto Me.

38 Return now unto thy labors; ponder these counsels; more shall be added upon later.

39 Share these counsels with My servants, Pamela and Robert; be with them as oft as occasion permits.

40 Listen to their counsel, ponder and pray; I shall confirm it and enlighten thee further.

41 As the time of thine ordination draws nigh at hand, thy spouse and companion, Lance, shall become inquisitive of thy doings and dealings with Me; share with him liberally these events.

42 He must come unto greater light to perceive the necessity of the things I shall require of thee and My people.

43 Return to thy labors, now; ponder these things you’ve seen and heard.

44 Thou shalt be guided by My Spirit and angels shall guard thy way.

45 Prepare thyself for messengers who  will come unto thee; write as they shall direct thee to do from time to time.

46 In time, these things which thou shalt be commanded to write shall be laid before the people for their edification and inclusion in the book of Hidden Treasures and Promises.

47 These words shall assure them of thy mission and calling;

48 Most of all, assuring them of My love, devotion, and promise that I will not leave or abandon them.

49 Thus saith thy Lord and thy God; Amen.

The Words of the Lord for His Church, received on 5 August 1992 by President Douglas B. Madrid, of the Quorum of the Twelve. On this day President Madrid received a Western Union telegram from President McIntier that said, “RESIGNING THE PRESIDENCY EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. QUORUM MUST NOW TAKE LEAD. DETAILS COMING IN THE MAIL. PLEASE TELL OTHERS. LOVE BOB.” President Madrid immediately notified President Dee, the First Counselor of the Receipt of this telegram. A couple hours later, President Madrid knelt privately for communion with the Lord and to verify His will for the Church. The Lord’s response was almost immediate.

1 Fear not for thy prophet, Robert, for My Spirit is with him as he is far from thy midst.

2 Know that this is My will that the quorum of the First Presidency be dissolved.

3 The Apostles are to act in the place of the Presidency for a time, under the leadership of their President.

4 To my saints: The mantle is upon My servant, Douglas, and the keys of the kingdom and priesthood are secure.

5 Thou are to abide his counsel and the direction given through him.

6 The Spirit shall be thy guide and comforter; fear not, I am with thee.

7 Understanding shall come soon and all will be made known.

8 Hold firm to the commandments and scriptures which ye possess;

9 In all thy exhortations, teachings and preaching, the gospel as it is contained therein must stand at the core.

10 Admonitions and criticisms and corrections are the dominion of the Presidency, or as directed by them.

11 This is given to preserve order and to build harmony.

12 Go now and do as thou hast been taught.

13 Do these things as My spirit shall direct; know that I am in thy midst.

14 Peace be with you; all is well! Evenso, Amen.

Received by President Douglas B. Madrid on 15 February 1993 and on 19 February 1993; on both events he was awakened from sleep and was commanded to write. In the early morning hours of 19 February, President Madrid was awakened and was up through the night receiving the following revelation. This revelation is the result of many requests for knowledge and direction originating from the Twelve, unitedly and as individuals.

1 Douglas. Hear now and write as I shall command thee do to and to teach.

2 I am well pleased with thy performance and in the performance of thy assistants appointed unto thee by the Twelve.

3 Thou hast sought wisely to do those things that must be done first, establishing first a foundation upon which to build up my kingdom amongst thy people and others who may be lead unto thy people to worship with thy people.

4 I am pleased with thy thoughtfulness to the needs of future generations who shall join with thee and thy people.

5 It is my will that thou shalt continue along this path; be assured of my blessings upon thee and all who are numbered with thee as thou continues to diligently prepare the way for many generations to receive My word and My name.

6 The time has come for thee to be appointed as the President of the High Priesthood – my mouthpiece, my prophet, seer, revelator, and as the watchman unto thy people.

7 This is to be done in the Temple Enclosure by the Patriarch, in the presence of thy fellow apostles.

8 When thy people are assembled, thou art to be set apart as the President of the Church by thy predecessor, Robert M, McIntier, according to the voice and consent of the conference.

9 When these things are done, thou shalt appoint Lynn R. LaMaster as thy counselor and confidante.

10 No others are to be appointed unto the Presidency until they qualify themselves and are judged worthy.

11 Let thy friend and brother, Larry Tidwell, be warned that his calling to the Presidency shall pass to  another soon if he will not fulfill a commitment and qualify himself to receive his appointment.

12 Thou art to continue to serve as President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until such time as thy previously designated successor, my servant Robert M. McIntier, is ready to assume these duties.

13 Until he is able to serve to someone else is appointed in his stead, thou are not to consider not to appoint any other in this place, for any amount of time. Robert has claim to this position by right.

14 I am aware of thy fears and concern because of the hard feelings of others often expressed in inappropriate ways to thee about my servant, Robert.

15 Thou must bear these out and chasten, from time to time, as my Spirit shall direct thee; all the while recognizing that once all parties shed their fears of one another, face their fears and settle their differences, as firring humble servants, peace will be restored and harmony returned, in time.

16 Thou art commanded to call all who are aggrieved to summon their courage and settle this matter now.

17 Thou art to not permit the aggrieved to enter My Holy House until the matter is settled as befitting my humble servants.

18 How can one pledge devotion to God and make solemn covenants to obey My law, and hold at arms distance a brother or sister whom thou hast loved?

19 Verily, this is contrary to my law, my teaching, and all I have shown unto thee by mine own example.

20 Thou art to direct the Bishop, Leanna R. Anderson, and her Counselor to adjudicate these matters without delay.

21 If there be matters outstanding betwixt my servants, Robert and Leanna, then let them be resolved first, thereby setting a proper example for others to follow.

22 It is my will that thou shalt ordain my servant, Carole L. Dee, to the office of Matriarch.

23 When this has been done thou shalt release the Patriarch and the Matriarch from their positions in the Twelve for their callings are of a new nature and new things shall be required of them.

24 From this day forth they are not to be known by the title of elder, but rather as Father and Mother.

25 These titles are assumed by right when one is ordained into the Order of Evangelists as a Patriarch or Matriarch.

26 As with evangelicals who serve elsewhere, I require them to remain free from day-to-day burdens of the kingdom;

27 Verily, it is necessary for them to function in a different manner and to receive guidance differently.

28 They may be called upon by the President of the High Priesthood to aid specific causes and offer words of wisdom in selected instances, as my Spirit may direct.

29 At all times they shall be mindful to render reports, from time to time, to my servant, Douglas, to ask for guidance and direction that can only come through my appointed mouthpiece.

30 I am mindful of thy queries and the many queries of others about the specific functions of the Matriarch.

31 One of the functions of this office is to serve within My Holy House;

32 This service is performed beyond the veil and in a realm that is in similitude of the presence of the Eloheim, known unto thee as Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

33 It is this particular function that I have a covenant with the Matriarch to shed more enlightenment and broaden her understanding.

34 When the Matriarch receives this knowledge, she is to reveal it unto my servants, Douglas and Pamela;

35 When this knowledge is revealed unto my servants, Douglas and Pamela, they are to confirm this knowledge and to seek additional light and knowledge regarding the principles pertaining to works beyond the veil.

36 Yea, when these things are done in this order, when each part is combined with the others shall thy knowledge be more complete; for I intend to perfect the labors performed in My Holy House.

37 It is necessary for my servants, Pamela and Carole, to  continue to teach one another the ordinances of My Holy House;

38 These things are preparatory to works to be performed by the Patriarch and Matriarch beyond the veil.

39 As with the Patriarch, the Matriarch has the right and duty to pronounce her own blessings upon the heads of my faithful saints.

40 It is the duty of the Matriarch to see to the washing and anointing of my faithful saints who are in labor with child, that the suffering in child bearing may be eased, and that the joy of birth may be celebrated.

41 The Matriarch may be called upon by the priesthood leaders to advise or assist in counseling relationships, families and couples, where there is disharmony and division.

42 The Matriarch has a special charge to serve those who are sick and afflicted and to counsel with them and to comfort them;

43 When it is observed that the elders are needed to anoint and bless the sick, she shall notify the local priesthood leader of this need on behalf of the sick and afflicted.

44 The Matriarch is a special comforter to the sick and afflicted, and is a special emissary and advocate unto the Mother the Mother is devoted to their needs.

45 Let the matriarch assume these duties first; more light and knowledge will be revealed unto thee with respect to the roles and duties of the Patriarch and Matriarch soon.

46 Thou hast inquired as to the relevance of holding a proceeding to complete the cutting off of former members for rebellion and other offenses; this shall not be necessary.

47 Notwithstanding my previous instruction to my faithful servant, Joseph Smith, Jr., the actions performed by thy predecessor, My servant, Robert, are acknowledged by me;

48 The members the Bishop was instructed to suspend are considered by me to no longer be numbered with thy people.

49 Thou hast not erred to study and consider this experience, in light of my counsel to my servant, Joseph.

50 I recognize the suspensions of members for cause or violation, and those members are cut off.

51 For now, thou shalt have only two courts: the First Presidency and the Presiding Bishopric.

52 Until such time as others can be called to complete the Quorum or Council of the Twelve Apostles, there shall be no high council court.

53 All appeals of decisions of the Bishop’s Court shall be made to the First Presidency, who may claim original jurisdiction in any case, except a trial of the President.

54 There is no appeal of decisions of the First Presidency.

55 Thou shalt observe to follow existing counsel originally provided to my servant, Joseph, as it pertains to this people – following the dictates of the Spirit.

56 To My Saints: Ye are called to demonstrate by both word and deed your willingness to do more to assist your priesthood leaders in bearing the burdens of this work amongst thy people.

57 Ye shall be called and set apart to serve in groups to assist the First Presidency and the Presiding Bishopric in the development of the program of the Church.

58 And as the program of the Church unfolds, ye shall serve in many capacities to support this program.

59 Ye are to hold in remembrance the sacred work you are called to do now;

60 These things are stepping stones for many areas of service ye cannot imagine now.

61 Some shall be needed to serve in leading positions on the local and general level as the Church grows in number and strength.

62 Verily, the Church shall grow and prosper, as I have promised.

63 Ye must do what I call upon you to do; ye must follow the counsel of my mouthpiece and prophet, Douglas.

64 I am directing the church, specifically, through him;

65 I am instructing him by dreams, inspiration, revelation, and through the inspired counsel of his counselors and the Bishopric.

66 When ye are presented with my word, consider it all carefully in your heart and mind.

67 Study it out with an open mind; withhold immediate rejection and be willing to adapt and change.

68 When ye have been careful and diligent in your consideration, kneel down upon your knee and ask if it be so;

69 Ye shall receive the knowledge that you desirest, yea, you shall know if it be true.

70 There shall be much I shall require of you through requests by my servants in the Presidency and the Bishopric; comply with their instructions.

71 Recognize that I shall not always offer instructions to my servant, Douglas, by revelation or by way of commandment, which shall then be recorded;

72 Most often these instructions shall come by way of dreams and inspiration that leaves him with clear impressions of the direction for the Church.

73 Sometimes he shall be guided by inspired counsel received from his counselor.

74 The time is now to lay the foundations, to be more thoughtful of the direction of this Church and to prepare the Church to receive the increases promised by Me.

75 This is My promise unto you, My people, My saints:

76 If you will promise to sustain your prophet Douglas,

77 And labor hard to lay the proper foundation upon which to build My Church and Kingdom amongst your kind and all whom I  shall lead unto your people to receive My word and My name;

78 If you will promise to stand by your prophet in good times and in difficult times and remain faithful to these things,

79 I shall bless you with the ability to do what would ordinarily be beyond your ability.

80 This promise shall extend from your work on the program of the Church, to ecumenical relations, to wondrous miracles and experiences.

81 All of this is intended to demonstrate unto you My desire for this work to grow amongst your people and others who shall come unto you.

82 If ye shall do these things you shalt be prepared and able to do vigorous work as missionaries, every one.

83 Many shall join with you and the Church shall branch out into new communities as new branches sprout on a healthy tree.

84 I call upon you to observe clean and wholesome lives;

85 This is not to control or to limit choice, but to suggest a more lasting happiness and greater physical and mental health.

86 I know the temptations faced daily by your people;

87 Many of these are indirectly a result of lies and unrighteous dominion of ministers and congregations that have imposed limitations that are unfair and unjust.

88 Nevertheless, the shortcomings of others cannot become an excuse for you to succumb to the cultural weaknesses of your people.

89 Ye are called to rise above these weaknesses and be an example to your people, demonstrating living with lives free of destructive behaviors.

90 Do not put on airs of judgment to those who have chosen other lifestyles to pursue that conflict with the beliefs and practices of this people;

91 It is better to be patient, tolerant, and compassionate in all your dealings.

92 It is far better to build harmony and teach from the common ground that exists; using common ground as the foundation for growth and progress.

93 Concern yourselves first with service to others, before yourself – Always.

94 Ye are called to prepare yourselves to receive and to renew covenants made in My Holy House.

95 This must be done in anticipation of reopening the Enclosure for this purpose.

96 Ye are to examine your life and what you are doing to live a life of virtue and faith, one worthy of admittance to My Holy House.

97 Consider carefully and thoughtfully your commitments to observe fasting and tithing.

98 Far too many of this people are in error and are not worthy to receive the benefits of observance of the law.

99 The law is for your benefit and your protection; take care to observe my law.

100 I know this people; I know your struggles.

101 I know your pain and sorrow; I will ease your suffering and offer comfort.

102 Ye are nor forgotten, ye are remembered and known.

103 The days of great joy and freedom shall come and with these shall come new challenges and changes for you.

104 Remember always My covenant and promise,

105 I am your God and I shall not leave nor abandon you. Amen.

A revelation received by President Douglas B. Madrid on 31 July 1994, detailing specific commandments regarding serious matters laid before the First Presidency. In His response, the Lord outlined a clear path for the First Presidency and the Church to follow in handling these contentious disputes from within and outside the Church. Matters relative to the principle of plural marriage and reconciliation with former members are clarified.

Immediately upon receipt of this revelation, Pres. Madrid forwarded it to his counselors in the First Presidency for their prayerful consideration and support. Pres. Robert M. McIntier and Pres. Larry L. Tidwell received confirming witnesses several days later. Pres. Todwell’s witness was received by revelation, which is included, beginning with verse 29.

1 To My Servant, Douglas: Thou has sought My will and thy prayers have been heard concerning the disputes before thee; receive now my commandments in these things:

2 Thou shalt not bless the union of My daughters, Leanna and Robyn.

3 Thou shalt not bless the union of plural marriage by means of the new and everlasting covenant, or by any other means, without My specific commandment.

4 My children are not at liberty to attempt to usurp this authority unto themselves; to do so is evil and will lead to damnation!

5 I will reveal these things unto My servant in this part of the vineyard.

6 Thou art to call all those who do not receive this warning unto repentance. If they do not repent, they shall be cut off.

7 Thou shalt revoke the betrothal sealing for time betwixt My daughters, Leanna and Lynn.

8 Thou shalt revoke the sealing under the new and everlasting covenant betwixt My daughters, Pamela and Lynn.

9 Thou shalt revoke the betrothal sealing for time betwixt My daughters, Pamela and Carole.

10 Thou shalt revoke the sealing under the new and everlasting covenant betwixt My daughters, Carole and Leanna.

11 Thou shalt revoke the sealing under the new and everlasting covenant betwixt My daughters, Carole and Lynn.

12 Thou shalt warn My daughters, Leanna and Robyn, to return unto their own companions and fulfill their obligations as they have promised.

13 Thou art to suspend the authority of My daughter, Leanna, until she returns to Me in all humility.

14 She is to be relieved of her apostleship, which shall not be restored to her.

15 Thou shalt see that no hands are laid to confer authority upon My daughter, Robyn, until she returns unto Me in all humility.

16 Thou shalt revoke the promises given unto My daughter, Lynn; these promises shall not be restored to her.

17 She is in a spirit of contention and has blasphemed in violation of her oath and covenants with Me.

18 She is in need of rest. Thou art to call upon her to repent speedily and to return unto Me.

19 I, the Lord, know the pain these things have caused My daughters, Eileen and Joyce.

20 Thou shalt comfort them, for verily they stand in need of much comfort.

21 Be with them, uphold them and love them. My Spirit shall uplift them and encourage them to do what is right.

22 Thou shalt not pursue any reunion with those who have been cut off by My commandment through My servants, Robert and Carole.

23 Those who’ve been cut off lack the courage to do what is right and repent. There have been snares laid to deceive and lead away My Little Ones.

24 It is these of whom I warned thee some time ago. Go forward with that which I have given unto thee.

25 In a little season I shall give unto thee more knowledge and direction.

26 Thou shalt make these words known unto thy people as a lasting testament of My promise unto all;

27 I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; when ye do not, ye have no promise.

28 I, the Lord, know thy struggles and pain. Come unto Me with the humility of little children and receive healing and forgiveness. Amen.

The Words of the Lord into President Larry L. Tidwell:

29 My servant Larry: Thou hast done well to inquire of Me in regard to seeking a confirmation of those words to My Servant, Douglas.

30 Behold, verily, I say unto you that those words are of Me and those things that i have instructed him to do are of Me.

31 Fear not, My son, for thou hast been tried in this thing.

32 Thou hast followed the counsel given to My Servant, Douglas, found in Section 51 of the book of Hidden Treasures and Promises.

33 Thou hast examined in thy heart and mind those things which have been brought before thee and hast pondered them in thy heart.

34 This experience shall be set as an example for all to follow; thou hast done well and I, the Lord thy God, am well pleased with thee.

35 Remember this experience in the future and use it as a guidepost which shall direct thy path.

36 Be mindful of My Saints and pray for them daily, as they pray for thee.

37 Receive the witness of My Spirit and pray for them daily, as they pray for thee.

38 Continue upon the path in which thou art on and be comforted in knowing that We are directing thy life for good.

39 Be bold in thy testimony of Me and thou shalt be blessed from on High.

40 These words have come to thee as a result of thy faith and humility.

41 Thou art as a child, however, in learning patience and waiting for My Word; therefore, this experience and others which are to follow shall be helpful in learning this important principle.

42 Go now, My son; go boldly and confidently, knowing that We are there for thee as long as thou art faithful and obedient, remembering always to bow the knee and ask.

43 Bear witness unto all that We love them and will never abandon those who are faithful, Evenso, Amen.

On 17 July 1995, Pres. Robert McIntier, of the Quorum of the Twelve, was speaking on the telephone with Pres. Madrid about an upcoming meeting of the Quorum. He had previously expressed that he felt a strong need to invite the Bishopric and Pres. Tidwell to join in the meeting of the Quorum, but he was unsure why it was important for them to be in attendance. He was also unclear what the purpose of the meeting was to be, but he had felt very strong promptings that the meeting needed to be held.

Following the telephone call, Pres. McIntier knelt in prayer, seeking the will of the Lord for the meeting of the Quorum, and an explanation of why the additional people needed to be invited. He was also inquiring about the future of the Church, and frustrated that there seemed to be so much to be done, and so few to do the work. In response to his prayer, he received the following revelation.

1 Listen now, and hear the voice of thy Savior and thy Redeemer, even Him by whose voice thou has been called unto this holy calling.

2 I know thy heart. Peace be unto thy soul, for thy sins shall be forgiven thee, as thou goest forth to do that which I have called thee to do. Thou shalt move forward boldly, and hesitate no longer.

3 My little flock shall be enlarged, even as I have promised in times past. There is much to be done in the preparation of My kingdom, and I have been patient with thee in the times of thine afflictions and problems. But the cries of My special children, like unto thee, have come up unto my throne. I cannot withhold any longer, for these are some of My most precious ones, reserved from before the foundation of the world. They need My gospel, and by thee it must be preached, for unto this wast thou called. Go then, and do as I have directed, for if these hear not My voice through thee, then must another be called, for I have promised that these shall hear My voice and become one with My fold.

4 It is for this purpose that I have caused thee, through the voice of My First Presidency, to be released from other duties. From this time forth, thou shalt devote thyself more fully to the preaching of My gospel, and to the development of thy quorum, even the Quorum of Mine Apostles.

5 Despair not, for the day shall come when that quorum shall be filled with twelve who love together. Until that time, take with thee the President of the High Priesthood, and his counselor, and the Bishop, and his counselor, and begin the preparations I have shown thee for the enlargement of the work.

6 Counsel together in love, and learn together those principles which My servant Pamela desired to teach, but which were withheld because of fear. Learn to work together in love and unity, moving forward with one voice, and as if with one mind.

7 These shall work together as a priesthood council – not as apostles, for some of them have not that calling. But ye shall unitedly act as the General Council of My Church. This council shall, for a season, assist with the work of the Quorum of the Twelve, until such time as that quorum shall have sufficient members to more fully perform their duties.

8 Thou shalt finish the preparation of Hidden Treasures and Promises, that My saints may study My words unto this special flock. After this, thou shalt resume the publication of a newsletter. Let new pamphlets be written and see that they are distributed to those places where your people are.

9 Concentrate first on the enlargement of the work in Salt Lake City, for there are many in this area who are ready for thy teachings. In due time, I shall show thee others, who shall expand the work once again into California, and then into Washington, and to Nevada.

10 Use the talents I have given thee. Use the unique gifts that are possessed by the members of the General Council. Be not concerned over differences, but rejoice instead in the multiplicity of skills that I have gathered together in this council. Use them well, for they shall be the means of moving the Church forward toward the day when it may be fully adorned with all of its offices and callings and orders of the Priesthood.

11 Until that time, be both humble and bold in declaring the truth to this generation, that thou mayest become clean from their sins and follies. My grace shall attend thee, and thou shalt see many miracles brought about by thy collective faith and efforts.  I have promised these things before, and My promises shall all be fulfilled in mine own due time. Even so. Amen.

This revelation was received by President Douglas B. Madrid in the evening of 12 February 1996. The revelation addresses calls to the apostleship, commends President Robert M. McIntier for his service, use of the Temple Enclosure, and general counsel to the membership of the Church and the Priesthood. This revelation was received in response to questions put to the Lord in prayer over many months.

1 Douglas: Thy prayers and supplications have been heard concerning the needs and desires of My Little Flock. Know that I am mindful of each desire in advance of thy request and I, the Lord, waiteth upon the appropriate hour to respond and offer unto thee instruction.

2 I have promised thee additional light and knowledge regarding the governance of the Church and Priesthood. The hour has arrived and more light and knowledge shall be given to guide thee further and make thy pathway clear.

3 Thou hast done well to see that my servant, Morten, is called to join My Little Flock.

4 As with thee, I’ve been mindful of this man and angels have been dispatched to preserve and protect him for a later time when he will be called in fulfillment of earlier promises made unto him regarding his work on earth and in the world to come.

5 Thou shall say unto him, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, come follow thou Him.”

6 I, the Lord, know My sheep; Morten is called to prepare himself in every way and do the works that I shall extend unto him through My mouthpiece, Douglas.

7 I counsel thee to call upon My servants, Robert (McIntier) and Larry (Tidwell), to minister to him; thou shalt see that they prepare him for the waters of baptism and reception into My Little Flock.

8 The time has come to increase the membership of the quorums.

9 I call upon thee to invite My servants, Larry L. Tidwell and Daryl D. Dille to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and to extend their ministry as My Witnesses.

10 Over the course of time, many new opportunities shall come unto them to teach and to enlighten even the hardest of hearts, thereby leading many out from under great darkness and hopelessness into joy and light.

11 These, My servants, shall continue in their duties as thy counselor and as Presiding Bishop until such time as others are called, prepared, ordained, and set apart to assume these duties; this will permit the release of these, My servants, to devote themselves wholly and purely to their apostolic duties.

12 In a little while, others who have been called and have qualified themselves will be called to complete this quorum.

13 To My Servant, Robert, thou art a source of immeasurable strength and comfort to My Little Flock, and unto My Servant, Douglas. He has often revealed feelings of praise and thanksgiving for thy faithful service.

14 To thee We say, continue in thy faithful service. Be thou patient as a leader of thy brethren.

15 Teach them their duty; teach thy brethren to be fearless in bringing to all people the light and knowledge which ye collectively possess.

16 If ye will be humble and obedient in these things, thee and thy brethren shall enjoy extraordinary company, guidance, protection, and other revelations that shall prompt thee and thy brethren further and move this work along.

17 Remember My previous counsel offered in times past to keep My commandments and thou shall teach only when My Spirit is upon thee if ye have not the Spirit, ye shall not teach!

18 To My servant, Douglas: thou shall see that every needful thing is done to prepare My Saints in this part of the vineyard to receive or to renew the covenants they have made in My Holy House.

19 Thou shall instruct the Bishop to inventory the structure and the affects of My Holy House.

20 These things shall be maintained from this day forth on a registry to assure that all that comprises the structure and affects are accounted for at all times.

21 Thou shall see that preparation and instruction is performed thereby affording every worthy soul opportunities to receive or renew their endowment.

22 This work shall commence at once. Thou shall see that the enclosure is properly secured, housed, and readily available for use.

23 Thou shalt come into the enclosure periodically to commune with Me and to receive that which has been prepared for thee.

24 These shall be times of reflection, supplication, revelation, and empowerment.

25 This ministry unto thee is necessary for thee to obtain the vision, comfort, and aid necessary to endure the great demands that lie ahead leading toward the great and dreadful day.

26 The ministry of prophets is not for earth alone, but shall extend to worlds to come.

27 To My Little Flock, My Little Ones: Be ye of good cheer!

28 Put aside your hurts and ill-will; accept the healing balm of humility. Be ye loving, gentle, and kind with one another.

29 Follow the prophets and apostles, bishops and presiding elders whom I have established among you; these have been called from amongst you for your good and well-being.

30 Trust in their counsels and may your first desire be always to seek to sustain them.

31 I, the Lord, have placed a burden upon them; you are called to do all that is within your power to make their burden light by your love and earnest support.

32 In this way, ye shall come to see that My words are true: Come take my yoke upon you and learn of Me. I am meek and lowly of heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls. My yoke is easy and My burdens are light.

33 So too, shall your burdens be light if ye will have true love, one for another.

34 Do not harbor ill-will toward one another. I call upon all who harbor ill-will to receive this commandment – Repent!

35 If ye were found in error, would ye not gladly accept forgiveness from your sin?

36 Why then do ye persist in withholding the love of forgiveness from one another?

37 If ye have withdrawn or withheld something of value from another, why do ye not repent and return it or recompense for it?

38 To you I say, be thou humble and confess your sins to one another; forgive one another.

39 Love one another as you are loved by your Mother and Father in Heaven.

40 In a little season more shall be given to enlarge thy understanding. This knowledge shall give thee greater confidence and help thee to further the works ye have been called to do.

41 Be thou humble and at peace. Amen.

This revelation was received by President Douglas B. Madrid in the afternoon of 14 June 1997 while working in his study at home. Prior to receiving this revelation, the affairs of the Church and its growth had occupied much of President Madrid’s attention. He experienced several instances of direct influence of the Lord and the Holy Spirit in his work and through the work of others. These experiences caused a number of questions to be raised in prayer and thought with the Lord. This revelation contains answers to many of the questions put to the Lord by President Madrid.

1 To my Servant, Douglas: I am  pleased that My saints are again engaged in missionary labor. Thou hast done well in preaching the words that I have caused the Spirit to reveal unto thee.

2 I shall bless all who will embrace this labor and bring My message to those who will receive it; these, My servants, shall be blessed abundantly with the ability to perceive their needs and an extraordinary ability to lead them to truth and salvation.

3 Thou art to see that My servants are prepared to receive and renew their endowments in My Holy House without delay.

4 My Saints in this part of the vineyard have demonstrated their faith and commitment to the work sufficient to be authorized to worship in My Holy House;

5 Continued authority to worship and perform My work there is contingent upon their continued growth and faithfulness.

6 I desire My Saints to learn and develop more fully as My servants.

7 Those who do not continue in faithful service shall not reenter My Holy House until they return unto Me in all humility.

8 Those who rebel shall be released for a season to a laissez-faire and idle state that ultimately leads to false confidence and increasing buffetings of adversity;

9 This cycle shall churn with increasing repetition until they are sufficiently humbled and remember that the arm of flesh is weak and strength comes from obedience to the principles I have instructed My servants everywhere to teach.

10 I call upon thee to make certain changes in the presidency of the Salt Lake Family.

11 Thou shalt release My servant, Larry Tidwell, from his labors as presiding elder there.

12 He has served honorably and fulfilled the purposes of his calling.

13 His obedience is demonstrated in his nurturing of members and clarifying relations betwixt My Saints and the community.

14 Now is the time for him to extend his ministry as an apostle and as thy counselor.

15 Thou shalt call on My servant, Larry Tidwell, to nurture further the relationship betwixt My Saints and the community in Salt Lake.

16 To assist him in these ecumenical labors, thou shalt call upon My servants, Bryce Beesley and Kirk Robinson.

17 These brethren have unique gifts and abilities that have been enlarged for this purpose.

18 Many seeds shall be planted by these brethren that will assure the future growth and sound reputation of My Saints in the entire surrounding region.

19 These brethren are special servants who will teach correct principles that are supported by the evidence of their lives.

20 In this work, they shall counsel My servant, Larry, in all matters relative to this great work.

21 They shall seek to work in unison of purpose and manner, drawing on the unique gifts that each brings to the work.

22 Thou shalt call My servant, Bryce D. Beesley, to  serve as the presiding elder of the Salt Lake Family.

23 Thou art to assist him with the selection of the counselors who will assist him in this new responsibility.

24 I caution thee to look at those who  demonstrate experience, maturity, and deep commitment to truth and right.

25 These shall be important characteristics that will serve as an anchor through the tempests of change that occur whenever growth comes quickly and suddenly.

26 This calling shall serve as a stepping stone to further growth and opportunity for service, if he remains faithful and worthy of consideration.

27 Thou shalt call on My servant, Carole L. Dee, and invite her to return to her labors as Matriarch.

28 Her release was extended for the purpose of providing a little season for healing and nurturing of her soul.

29 This season of relief from her labors has strengthened her sufficiently to render valuable service to the Saints in this part of the vineyard.

30 She has had some extraordinary experiences of great spiritual value that will empower her in this sacred ministry.

31 The Matriarch is an essential calling with an especial duty to those who  are sick and afflicted, establishing relationships, bearing and raising children, and sharing insights that empower toward success and happiness.

32 The ministry of a Matriarch is to bring hope to the hopeless, light to those struggling with darkness, life to the dead, and joy to the soul.

33 My servant, Carole, possesses these unique and special gifts.

34 Let her draw on the strength of her experiences, past and present, and look to a future with greater hope and faith.

35 From this moment forward, she is to be referred to as Mother for she is not only called to be a mother to the motherless, she is a representative of your Heavenly Mother.

36 In a like manner, Patriarchs are not only called to be a father to the fatherless, they are representatives of your Heavenly Father.

37 Soon, one shall be called to serve as Patriarch and the Evangelical Order will be fully restored in its proper purpose, place, and time.

38 To My servant, Anthony Masouras: I call upon thee to remain faithful in the callings which ye now bear.

39 A series of stepping stones have been laid to prepare thee for increasing responsibilities in the Priesthood.

40 Thou art of missionary zeal and in that labor thou art blessed.

41 Within thee is the ability to teach the gospel clearly and in ways that prompt through and reflection.

42 Be thou an example to the vast numbers whom ye shall come into contact throughout thy life.

43 Show by thy word and deed that the Gospel has value and veracity in thy life.

44 Trust in the guiding influence of the Holy Spirit in all thy labors.

45 Guard thy conduct, even while alone, to assure that it is square with the principles of the Gospel.

46 Guard thy tongue; speak only words that build confidence and guide behavior.

47 It is wisdom to learn these while in thy youth.

48 The eve of experience is fast approaching; let that period be one of marvelous joy derived from faithful service.

49 Thou shalt witness many miracles and perform many by thy faith.

50 Prepare now to enter and renew thy covenants in My Holy House, in time thy labors there shall increase.

51 To my servant, Dixie Pulley: Continue in thy search for truth and light.

52 Thou hast been faithful in service and have experienced much joy in thy service.

53 Thou hast been a light and a beacon for many who have come unto thee for comfort and assurance. Let thy heart be glad because of it.

54 Let thy testimony burn ever brighter, fueled by the fodder of experience. Be thou wise.

55 Thou shalt continue in thy present calling for a little season. When that season ends, a new one shall be centered.

56 Those things thou art learning now shall be valuable in the works thou shalt be called to so in a little season.

57 Be faithful and wait upon the Lord for counsel and comfort in the days before thee. Be not afraid. All shall be while; all is well.

58 To My Saints, scattered far and wide: Greetings!

59 Be careful to follow the counsel of the Priesthood while establishing work in your communities.

60 Live your lives worthy of notice, even if it appears peculiar.

61 I call upon all of My Saints, everywhere, to be unconcerned about peculiarity.

62 Live your lives consistent with the values and principles I have caused to be taught by My servants everywhere.

63 Regardless of place or status, the principles and values that bring life, liberty, and happiness are the same.

64 Draw near unto Me in all things.

65 Pray often and I will hear youl you shall receive those things that you need, for I am already aware of these needs and have provided for you.

66 Assume your responsibilities with vigor and faith.

67 Trust that in time and with faith, all things are possible.

68 You are not alone nor forgotten.

69 Let your light shine and serve as a beacon for others to see and be drawn unto you.

70 Share with them liberally your testimonies, time, and attention.

71 Build faithful communities everywhere  – this is a time of gathering, a time of harvest.

72 Be fearless in thy search for My Lost Ones.

73 You are special emissaries of Me – missionaries, every one.

74 be of good cheer. In a little season, more shall be added.

75 In that time, more shall be called to service as My Witness to the world, charged with recovering My Little and Lost Ones.

76 My covenant with you is that I will neither leave nor abandon you. Amen.

On the evening of Tuesday, 28 July 1998, President Douglas B. Madrid received the following in response to fasting and prayer, while President Madrid was traveling in Maryland. Immediately upon receipt, the revelation was submitted to the general authorities of the Church for their consideration and support.

1. Douglas. Hear the words and heed the counsel that I shall share with thee and My Little Flock.

2. Thy prayers concerning thy life and the condition of the Saints gathered with thee shall be answered.

3. Be not afraid and sad; lift up thy heart, mind and be joyful for the blessings thou hast received. Verily I know thy heart and its desires.

4. Trust My counsel and the promises including those that strike thee hard.

5. Rise! Be thou faithful in all things! Rise from disheartenment and doubt.

6. Fear not for the unfaithfulness and slothfulness of thy people; these are thy challenges to face with courage and boldness.

7. I have caused each to receive their portion of chastisement for those acts of faith not taken as prompted by the Spirit.

8. Awake from thy slumber and slothfulness! Rise to faith, joy and the literal fulfillment of the promises!

9. Keep My commandments and act as the Spirit prompts you.

10. Be thou a mighty prophet to My Little Flock and to thy people.

11. Receive the visions that shall come to thee. Be bold in sharing the seer’s blessings.

12. Soon thou shalt experience an increase in prophecy. The prophecies thou shall receive will guide thee and all that choose to hear and do to the fulfillment of sacred promises.

13. These gifts have been conferred upon thee and thy fellow witnesses to be exercised, as I shall require to lead the saints and to gather all who will received the blessings of salvation and exaltation.

14. This is a season of harvest. As thou art faithful in these things many shall respond to the peace and security of Zion.

15. There are many that have been sufficiently prepared to receive the messages of truth, faith and hope which is thy duty to share, in love.

16. Awake and arise! Be thou faithful!

17. Teach My Saints to rise to greater faithfulness and obedience.

18. Far too many are not observing the laws of obedience and sacrifice. This has placed a greater burden upon a few.

19. A common covenant exists amongst My Saints everywhere to lift one another’s burdens.

20. Ye are called to live thy lives as families of God where there is sufficient work for all to do.

21. Obedience to My commandments assures peace and safety.

22. Sacrifices are required to assure the temporal and spiritual security of My Saints.

23. Receive now a warning, promise, and blessing: This Little Flock shall stumble until ye learn to observe My Sabbath, fasting, and prayer.

24. The burdens now borne by a few shall not be lifted until all rise to greater faithfulness to returning to me a full and honest tithe.

25. Within these laws and principles rest the keys that shall free thee from the bondage of fearfulness and sloth.

26. Thou shalt discover anew the peace and safety of Zion, as thou art obedient to observing a joyful sabbath.

27. Knowledge, revelation, strength and courage shall flow continuously unto thee, as thou art faithful in prayer and fasting.

28. Overlook no more the power and blessings that shall indeed flow unto thee by fasting. Fasting is a key to keeping thy eye focused on the glories of God.

29. Prayer, when combined with fasting, shall lead thee unto knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom, the power of the Priesthood, and the endowment of charity.

30. Observance of a full and honest tithe shall also lead thee unto the endowment of charity and it shall cause a multiplicity of blessings that shall seem unto thee to be like heavenly manna.

31. Obedience to these laws and principles shall lift thee and cause that My Kingdom to grow and progress as promised.

32. Obedience with the sacrifices that shall be required will give thee the freedom, peace, and security ye seek.

33. When these things are apparent amongst you, verily, Zion has been established.

34. When ye falter, the stakes of Zion collapse thereby causing chaos and fear to rush in and stir needless troubles amongst you.

35. Take care to be strong in these principles and receive the blessings I earnestly desire to bestow and confer upon you, My Saints.

36. At the conference next, take the few among thee who My Spirit shall reveal unto thee into My Holy House. There thou shalt offer prayer as thou hast been instructed.

37. Sit in council therein, after thou hast offered prayer. Speak of sacred things—those things that I have revealed only unto thee.

38. In time these, if they remain faithful shall receive an anointing which I have prepared.

39. Be not alarmed for fear of unworthiness; I shall reveal the time of anointing, as the condition of My Saints requires.

40. In each instance, as I shall require, this knowledge shall be revealed unto thee.

41. Thou shalt call upon My servant, Robert, to join thee as a second witness and share in the patriarchal duties until such time as a presiding patriarch is called, anointed, and ordained to this duty.

42. I have endowed My servant Robert with gifts of evangelism and the wisdom of long and faithful service.

43. He is a father in Israel and he shall be a jewel in the crown of his father and mother.

44. He has been a faithful servant despite the mighty obstacles that have been encountered.

45. The blessings of a holy and eternal union shall surely come to pass.

46. The time speedily cometh when, ye shall bless him with a holy kiss and receive him into the family of the anointed.

47. At that time ye shall receive specific instruction appertaining these most holy acts.

48. Thou shalt call upon My servant, Carole to join in the observance of the principles heretofore described.

49. Therein lies the preparatory works that shall seal her preparedness to receive her anointing and calling as a presiding matriarch to jointly hold the keys of the spiritual blessings of My Saints that extend beyond the veil and on into the eternities.

50. As she progresses in her observance of these basic principles many great and marvelous visions and dreams shall flow unto her.

51. These things shall unleash within her the strength of her spirit. She shall experience a mighty transformation and shall be known as a lioness of the Lord.

52. Within these experiences the creative and healing gifts of a mother in Israel shall become forever more manifest.

53. Receive, O Israel, the healing gifts of thy Mother! How great shall be thy joy!

54. Awake and arise, O Israel! Receive the heretofore promises and blessings though obedience, sacrifice, and careful observance of the principles upon which these things are predicated.

55. Be faithful! Thy crowns cannot be withheld when thou art faithful.

56. As ye do these things ye shall encounter Zion. You will prosper as promised.

57. Great shall be thy joy, now and forever. Hosanna! Amen.

When President Douglas B. Madrid stepped down as President of the Church on June 14, 1999, the Quorum of Apostles assumed the role of Presidency over the Church. Over the next few weeks, President Robert M. McIntier sought the will of the Lord regarding the reorganization of the Presidency, and how to proceed with the work of the Lord’s kingdom. While praying again on this subject, the Lord provided him with the following guidance on the evening of August 20, 1999.

1. Hear the voice of the Lord! Let he that has ears, hear. Let she that will, see what I have prepared for those who do My will. Behold, the time for words is past, and the time for action has come.

2. Inasmuch as ye have inquired about the re-organization of the general leadership of My little flock, listen now to the direction which I shall give thee, and see that it is presented for the vote of a general conference in September. Do not neglect the principle of common consent. Without that consent, ye are not My church.

3. The Presidency of My church shall once again be organized, in the pattern given at the beginning, through My servant Antonio A. Feliz. My servant Robert M. McIntier shall preside, as the President of the High Priesthood, and President of the Church. He shall serve in this calling until I shall appoint another. In this work, he is to be assisted by My servant Daryl D. Dille, who shall be his counselor, and he shall also be the President of the Aaronic Priesthood, or in other words, the Presiding Bishop of the Church. Let My servant Douglas B. Madrid also labor as a counselor in the Presidency, while serving as the Presiding Patriarch, or President of the Patriarchal Order.

4. In this Presidency are embodied the leadership of the three orders of priesthood, meaning that the Melchizedek Priesthood, the Aaronic Priesthood, and the Patriarchal Priesthood are represented in this Presidency of the Church. It is wisdom in Me that this be so, for the functioning of these three orders of priesthood are necessary for My church to grown and progress.

5. Upon the organization of the Presidency of the Church, the Quorum of Apostles shall be dissolved for a season. And this shall be the manner of your organization until such time as increased membership requires additional leaders to be called. And inasmuch as ye shall follow My counsel, that day shall come quickly. But if ye follow not My admonitions, ye shall continue to wander in the wilderness. For this is MY church, and ye shall follow in MY ways, if ye are to progress.

6. Let My servant Bryce D. Beesley, continue for a season as the Bishop of the Salt Lake City Family. And he shall take unto himself a counselor, as My spirit shall direct. And his counselor shall be trained in all the duties of the Bishop, that he may assume that office in the future, for I have other work for My servant Bryce, which shall be revealed in due time.

7. In both the Presidency of the Church and in the Bishopric of the Salt Lake City Family, ye shall seek out one who is faithful and trustworthy to be a record-keeper. Let all of your activities and actions be recorded, that there may be a record of the faithfulness of My children, and that those who are not faithful may be held accountable in that day when I shall come to judge My saints. Let these records be kept in a book, and maintained in a safe place.

8. Let My servant Carole L. Dee continue as the Matriarch to the Church. In this capacity, she shall serve under the direction of the President of the Patriarchal Order. Let her begin immediately to work with the Presidency of the Church to prepare My saints to worship in My holy house at the time of the conference in March. The funds which have been donated for the purpose of maintaining My house shall be separated from the general funds, and shall be made available to the Matriarch as needed for the furnishings of My house.

9. At the conference in March, My house shall again be dedicated in its new location. After that dedication, it shall be the duty and responsibility of the Presidency and the Matriarch to ensure that only those who are keeping the covenants of the temple, including the law of tithing, be allowed to enter therein. Ye have seen how many profess faith in Me, and in My laws, but who are not yet able to live up to the covenants they have made in My house. In your times of difficulty, I have overlooked this weakness. But the time has now come when all who enter My house shall show by their actions that they are keeping the laws that pertain thereto, or they shall not be permitted to enter.

10. Study that which I have revealed to My servants in former times about the role of the Patriarch. As you learn to comprehend the great value to the Church of this office, it shall become clear how the Patriarch also has a significant role in the ordinances of the temple. The Patriarch and the Matriarch are symbolic of your Father and Mother in the labor they perform at the veil of the temple

11. I now give unto My servant Robert M. McIntier a charge to reach out to those who have formerly been a part of this work, and invite them to return. In this work he is to be assisted by others, whom he shall appoint, who have formerly served in the leadership of the Church. The invitation is to all who will receive it. Nevertheless, those who return shall make a commitment to this work, and those who cannot or will not make this commitment shall not return to fellowship with the saints in this part of my vineyard

12. Teach this little flock that they must keep My commandments. As I have said before, “If ye love Me, keep My commandments.” Remember that all blessings are predicated upon obedience to commandments and laws. I, even your Redeemer obey laws. When eternal laws are followed, and when commandments are kept, blessings flow naturally to those who have upheld the laws and commandments.

13. Now go and seek those whom I have prepared for you. Work diligently, first to build the kingdom in Salt Lake City. As ye endeavor to do this, ye shall find two special souls whom I have prepared to unite with you, and these shall assist in taking the message to other places where ye have not yet entered. Watch for them, and ye shall recognize them by the special spirit they carry with them.

14. Remember to do all that you do in love. Have love for one another. Remember that it is My love that sustains this church. My love for the saints in this part of My kingdom has not wavered. I have always been there for them, and I will continue to be there, as they seek to do My will, and seek My face. Even so. Amen.

The recovered document of this revelation said that it was created no later than May 11th, 2003
1. The voice of the Lord unto thee, my servant, Robert M. McIntier. Be not discouraged. The promises of which I have spoken are not gone, but will all be fulfilled in Mine own time, and in Mine own way. Be of good cheer, and continue to press forward. There is yet much for thee to do.

2. Remember what I have told thee before, concerning the organization of My Little Flock. At this time, there is wisdom in having a Presidency which embodies all three of the Priesthood orders. Having the quorum of the Presidency organized is necessary for the progress of the work that has been promised.

3. That the Presidency may be complete, ye shall call upon My servant Larry L. Tidwell to serve as Patriarch to the Church, and President of the Patriarchal Order. Ye have seen in him the gifts of this office, and he was blessed to receive this calling in days past, by My servant Douglas B. Madrid. And inasmuch as he has felt the call, and ye also have had this witness, ye shall proceed to present this matter for sustaining at the next Conference.

4. As ye have inquired about the status of My servant Bryce D. Beesley, ye shall say unto him that his sins are forgiven, and that there is yet much good that he can do in the building of My kingdom. He is a good man. I know his heart, and the desires that he has. 

5. At this time, he is weak physically, but if he will use his available strength in bringing souls unto Me, I shall fulfill in him the promises of the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood, in that a measure of strength shall return, and he shall indeed be sanctified by the Spirit unto the renewing of his body.

6. Therefore, ye shall work with him, and help him, and be patient with him, and allow him to do as much as he is willing and able to do. If he will work in harmony with the current leaders of the Church, many great spiritual opportunities await him.

7. It is good that ye have engaged my servants Bonnie and Joyce in the missionary work of the Church, for they have desires to do this work, and their continued work and determination shall result in many that shall join with you in the Salt Lake Family. Also, they shall be instrumental in sowing many seeds which shall bear fruit in the future. 

8. When the saints assemble for the conference, ye shall invite all the members of the Church who are worthy to enter My house, to go into the enclosure with the Presidency. There, in the presence of the members, shall the Patriarch be ordained. And you may share with the Church at that time the vision you have had of the future of the Church, as My spirit shall direct.

9. Now, unto the Church in general, I say that ye must take great care. In times past, ye have witnessed how strife and envy and backbiting arose during times of growth. This has even now begun again, and it must not be allowed to continue. My servants must learn to love and trust one another, if they are to accomplish the things I have given unto them to do.

10. Let the Bishop take the lead in admonishing those who harbor bitterness or strife against their brothers and sisters. And let those who speak ill of My servants be called to repentance. For this is the duty of the Aaronic Priesthood to “see that there is no iniquity in the church, neither hardness with each other, neither lying, backbiting, nor evil speaking.” (D&C 20:54)

11. Again, I say unto the Church, be joyous. Great are the blessings that have come to you, and which shall yet come to you, as ye seek to follow My ways, and to lead others in the paths that ye have been shown.

12. My love for My Little Flock continues, eternal and unchanged. There is much turmoil in the world, and many of the signs of the times are now being observed by those who are watching for them. Let the Church be a place where the turmoil of the world can be kept out. Let it be a place of peace and safety for those who seek refuge from the storms of the world. Let it be a place where My love can always be felt.

13. Now go forth vigorously, and do the things that I have commanded. In due time, I will bring others to you to help enlarge the fold in other areas. But for now, continue to build up the Church in Salt Lake City until I shall direct you to go to other places.

14. Above all else, wherever ye shall go, ye shall bless all who are willing to hear you with the knowledge that I, even Jesus Christ, and your Heavenly Parents also, have great love for them. We do not condemn them. We desire for them to have every blessing that they are able to receive. Invite them to come and partake with you in Our love. Even so. Amen.

For several weeks, President Robert M. McIntier had been pondering and praying about what changes might be needed in order to revitalize the work of the Church, and to lead it into its next quarter century. Several ideas had entered his mind, and some of them kept recurring. But they seemed to be just a jumble of random thoughts, and not a coherent plan for moving forward. 

On the evening of June 7th, 2010, after praying again for guidance on this subject, and while pondering plans for the upcoming General Conference, a peaceful spirit overtook him, and suddenly, many of the thoughts from the previous weeks seemed to fall into place, like pieces of a giant puzzle. He sat down at his keyboard, and began to type the feelings that the Lord was pouring into his heart and into his mind. The results are the following revelation to the Church.

It was presented to the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ in August 2010 and was unanimously accepted.

1. Listen now, and hear the words of your Redeemer, and speak these words unto My Little Flock. “Be of good cheer, for I am with you. The Shepherd loves His sheep, and desires to bless them.”

2. As you have been taught in times past, you receive liberally from Me when you ask in sincerity. Therefore listen to My counsel, and I will give you the answers for which you have earnestly prayed. 

3. Behold, this is a time of change. There is much chaos in the world, and in the governments and leaders of nations, and in things commercial, and even the elements seem to be in commotion. Fear not. All of these things, and more, have been prophesied by My holy ones for many centuries, and those who are waiting and watching for My return will recognize these signs.

4. In these times of difficulty, you may yet find peace, by following the teachings that I have given, and which I now give, and which I will continue to give, through those whom you have accepted as your prophets and apostles. Study their words, and seek to understand, by My Spirit, how those words apply to your individual lives. As you do these things, you will truly find comfort and solace in the difficult times that yet lie ahead. Difficulties will continue, but they will not overcome you, if you give heed to My voice, through My servants.

5. I know My sheep. I know their trials. I see their struggles, and their efforts to improve. And those who continue striving to increase their faith, and to strengthen the faith of those around them, shall reap many blessings, both now, and hereafter, for their efforts.

6. To my servant Mark Dexheimer-Trujillo, I say that I am pleased with the efforts you are making with the flock in Salt Lake City. You are entrusted with the care of some very special souls, and they look to you as their under-shepherd. Continue to feed My sheep! And continue to reach out, in every possible way, in your community. For, as you have seen, there are yet many in your city, and in the surrounding areas, who are crying out for the feeding that comes from the Shepherd. And your counselor, Esther, also has had great effects for good on the members there, more than she realizes. Continue to work together in harmony, and support each other, and seek My other sheep, and your flock will grow.

7. You shall invite my servant, Daryl D. Dille, to resume his role as the Presiding Bishop, and to take responsibility for the financial and temporal matters of the Church, and to teach the Aaronic Priesthood their duties, that you may be relieved of these roles. He has many gifts, and they shall multiply, and great blessings shall follow in his life, as he resumes his proper role.

8. Behold the great blessings that have already come into the lives of My saints in Montevideo, Uruguay, as they have begun to believe again, and renewed their faith in Me and in My gospel. This family, from small beginnings, will grow, as they continue to seek those whom I have prepared, for there are others, even in their own city, who are even now ready to help in this great work. Be creative, and seek the guidance of My Spirit, and you shall find success. And the four of you shall each have an important part in the work of moving the Kingdom forward.

9. You have seen how the gifts of the Patriarchal Priesthood are evident in My servant Larry L. Tidwell. And yet, My saints in this part of the Kingdom have a very limited understanding of this priesthood order. Therefore, you shall call upon the Patriarch, to once again teach this people the meaning of his calling. For there is much more than merely giving of blessings. In time, he shall teach them about the role of the Patriarch and Matriarch in My holy temple. My children need this wisdom as they progress. Feed My sheep!

10. It is wisdom in Me that Father Tidwell should concentrate on these teachings, and forsake all other obligations, in order to magnify this work. That this may be accomplished, and also that the work may be increased among those who speak the Spanish language, you shall now release My servant Larry L Tidwell as your counselor, that he may give his whole energy to the role of the Patriarch, and you shall call upon My servant Sebastian Fabio Cruz to serve as your counselor. Here is a man of great faith, who can assist in carrying forth My gospel to those who are even now ready and waiting. Trust in him, and seek his counsel often, as you proceed to organize the work in South America and Mexico.

11. All of these things shall be presented unto the General Conference of the Church in August. If the Church will approve of these sayings, and follow this counsel, they shall be blessed, and their numbers shall increase. You, my son, and these whom I have given to assist you, must carry on this work. Exhort the flock to be Saints indeed, and not in name only. Teach them to move forward, one step at a time, reaching for the great blessings which I desire to bestow upon them.

12. Strive to improve, and to be better in all that you do. And remember to do all that you do in love. If you shall do these things, great blessings will follow. Now go and do these things, and move the work forward, and I shall give further instructions at the times when they shall be needed. Though the flock is small, yet My love for them is great. Feed the sheep! Even so. Amen.
