1:03 p.m. DictationIndependence, Jackson County, Missouri

I experienced the heavenly session through the28 and 29 night and morning, considering that Iwould be leaving early in the morning to go back toRl. The Lord showed me I should remain for apurpose in Him, and my only directive was to go tothe temple site again, dedicate it unto the Lord forthe building of the temple and to explore this landfurther.

I bad TreRgy leffs and lohn Wayman remain jnthe motel room praying for us, and I took Naomie,my scribe, to the temple site, and in a privatesecluded place dedicated that temple site anewunto the Lord for the building ofthe temple, layingclaim upon that place and the Valley ofAdam-Ondi-Ahman for and in behalf of the Lordand the Priesthood on the earth, the Kingdom ofGod on the earth. I walked around the temple siteand determined how big that upper level andplateau was and in the dedication asked the Lord toeven take charge of the contour of that land toprepare it for the temple site and to destroy all theneighboring buildings and surroundings with firefrom heaven as He wills, in preparation forbuilding the temple. I then drove around thatcenter spot at different radiuses going through thattown, Independence. It is a city today of 113,000people or so.

I have driven north and looked back at the cityand saw it was a hill, a hilly country where the landFriday, January 30,2004 Page 270 Record of PresidentWarren Jeffs


5/8

in the north levels out more, and in all directionsthe land levels out more into farmland. So the cityof the Lord is on a hill and in the hilly country. Idrove at least ten miles or more miles east out ofJackson County into Lafayette County. The daybefore, we drove south beyond Independence intoa southern county and, of course, we came in fromthe west through Kansas City. So the Lord has hadme observe the land as well as the very center,where the New Jerusalem shall be built and byordinance lay claim upon these lands anew in thename of the Lord and for the Kingdom of God onthe earth.

I stayed here in the motel room throughThursday afternoon. I had the brethren purchasesome food for us for dinner, but just as they werearriving the Lord took me in hand around 5 :00o'clock p.m. in the evening and I experienced theheavenly session through the night into themorning until 5:30 a.m., for about twelve hours. Iam often taken away, my spirit from my body, or ina manner where I can speak and my scribe makesrecord.

I have been yearning unto the Lord what mymission is here. And as far as He reveals, it hasbeen fulfilled. There is a police convention beingheld in St. George right now. Witnesses havecalled who have heard the police officials there inSt. George speak and there is a general talk of hemhandling Warren Jeffs and our people, and theAttorney -General, Mark Shurtliff is trying to inciteeven a mob spirit among our people, through RonBarton, against me and among the apostates. Theapostates from every time and direction arecombining with the government against me.

I have called Ernest Jessop and David Allredand told them to be very careful and not dodeliveries in the state where R17 is so we wouldnot be traced there and to conduct themselves as anout of state business where the bills are sent to adistant address, to Utah, privately.

This morning I have been seeking unto the Lordwhat His message is to the nation, and readingfrom the scriptures the Lord has already given Hismessage to this nation through the Prophet JosephSmith, and any message would be a renewedreview of those revelations and if the Lord has a

further message for me to give, I seek unto Him fothat message.I have also been handling many men who donhold Priesthood, through the Bishop, and directlby telephone. I personally talked to David DrapeFrank Johnson Sr., Alvin Harker, Dan Waymantoday telling them they do not hold Priesthood.

have sent the Bishop to tell Joe C. Jessop, BecJessop, Don Holm, and Charles Cooke Sr. that thedo not hold Priesthood and they should leave UEland. Jerry Jessop Jr. has left UEP land, as well aMarce Jessop and Garth Jessop, going to Colorad. I sent Johnny Beagley to gather up his daughteOvella, the wife of James Dockstader aninformed James Dockstader he doesn't holPriesthood. I sent Lloyd Wall to gather up JulWall, his daughter married to Dale Wight, anLloyd informed Dale Wight that Dale doesn't holPriesthood. I have sent Garth Warner to gather uhis daughter Charlene Warner, former wife ofJohNielsen, and tell her and him that he, John Nielsedoesn't hold Priesthood. I have sent the Bishop tdo others. So the cleanup continues. We havdone it more quietly instead of announcing public ally this time.

I am talking to Uncle Louis Barlow:Hello, Uncle Louis, this is Warren Jeffs. UncLouis how are you doing? I ask you first, Unc

kQuill, if )'Q/d }"iIJih' i "tRill .Q}"}"i."tiQR Qf "tRi kQ}"roThe Lord has shown me that in many ways yohave been a man of compromise and you aseeking the broken heart and contrite spirit. rejoice in your expressions ofloyalty and devotioto Priesthood.

Be careful and stafocused. God bless you.



6/8

After Haning up the PhoneUncle Louis declared loyalty and is weepingand yearning for deliverance. How greatly all thisweighs upon me and yet there is such a burningpeace witnessing that all these corrections are ofthe Lord and He is doing right. I thank the Lordthat men would receive the correction and worktoward repentance.How I need the Lord's guidance and father'sguidance, knowing the Lord sends my father as myPriesthood connection with the heavens. I talkedwith my sister Marsha directly and had her comeunder my brother Wallace's direction. I talkedwith Mother Sharon and she was rejoicing in theLord blessing Marsha, her daughter. End dictationfor now.

3:40 p.m. DictationI have just talked to the trustees of the UnitedEffort Plan, Truman Barlow and James Zitting. Ipreviously talked to Uncle Fred Jessop and UncleLeRoy Jeffs about evicting Ross Chatwin, as theLord wanted Ross Chatwin removed fromPriesthood land because he is an open enemyfighting against the Priesthood. I took care of thatby phone calls today and informed James Zittingthat all the trustees are united on this.Truman Barlow informed me that JamesZittin , Truman Barlow, and Jim Oler as the

directors and members of the Canadian SchoolSociety had a telephone meeting yesterday andvoted in Jim Oler again as a director and alsoMerrill Palmer and MacRae Oler as directors andmembers. Uncle Fred and LeRoy were notavailable. I am just making a record of those twoevents.I have just had an hour and a half training withLeRoy Jeffs and John Wayman listening. TheLord had me train them on what is required to help

redeem Zion as well as many things that arehappening among our people, the handling ofmenfor losing Priesthood and unworthiness, warningthese brethren about not having sympathy againstauthority when people declare loyalty toPriesthood. It is righteous living that qualifies usfor the presence of God not just outwardexpressions of loyalty. How I yearn the Lord tobless us. End dictation for now.

8:50 p.m. Naomie's TestimonyRight as John andLeRoy were brining the food,you were taken into the heavenly session. Youcame and laid down about 4:40 p.m. You said totell the men thatyou needed to lay down right then,

to just leave the food here. I put a blanket over youand took your socks off. They knocked on the doorabout that time. I told them and they took the foodback to their room and separated it and brought itback. There has been a very sweet Spirit andheavenly peace here, though you have been in avery intense session.

At 5:000 'clock p.m. you took the things out ofyour pocket. You said, "I don't know how long Iwill be here. If his goes on through tomorrow, Iwilljust stay put." After that you were taken rightunconscious. Your body was trembling. You neverwent through a real severe outward trembling butyou kept jerking and olting quite often.

At 5:43 p.m. you came to and asked what time itwas and what time you had started into theheavenly session. It was at 4:30 p.m. It had beenan hour and ten minutes. You were taken rightback unconscious. At 5:45p.m. you started sayingsomething. I couldn't tell what you were saying somoved closer to you. I didn't catch the first ofwhatyou said, but you said, "I am being stopped fromeaving. t was rig t c ose to t e time you calledJoshua and told him you would probably call him

in the morning.I called Joshua before the session, didn't I?Yes, but it was just right before, maybe five orten minutes before you started into it. You said, "Idon't know exactly why I am here, but I am here forsome reason. Whether it is just to take me awayfrom everything right now, away from the people, Idon't know, or if I am supposed to do something

else." Then you went very still and quiet until 6:30p.m. Through that time,from 5:45 p.m. until 6:30p.m. I couldfeelfather spresence here so strong. Icould feel that the Lord was so near.At 6:30 p.m. you again started sayingsomething. I had to move really close to you tohear what you were saying. That is when I got onthe bed so I could hear you. You said, "The Lordhas been showing me much of what will happen

before the redemption of Zion, with this place -what will be accomplished. There has to be apeople who can come into His presence, that Hewill be able to lead back to this place. They willhave to be a people like unto the people ofEnoch,able to walk and talk with God. AndHe has shownme there will be a people. It is so encouraging.There will be a people who will perfect their livesto accomplish this work." You said, "These placesof refuge are a training ground. It will be fromamong the people that are on these places that theLord will be able to work with a people. Noteveryone on the places of efuge will be allowed togo to the Center Stake. It will only be those whotruly prepare themselves. It will be a people fromamong the people. "

At 6:45 p.m. you said, "It is happening as UncleRoy said it would. We are being driven into thewilderness and we will stay there until thejudgments have passed over the land and therewon't be so much as ----" you said a word, but Icouldn't tell what you said. You said, "Allcorruption will have been removed. There will benothing left of this place. Everything will bedestroyed by fire and purified. And even in theplaces ofrefuge only those who could qualify willbe left. And not everyone will go to the CenterStake at once, but everyone will be called byrevelation, just as they are being called to thepnIces bj"rejtlge by reVenIlion.At 6:10 p.m. you said that you would probablybe going back to Short Creek at least one moretime to make some corrections and also to do afewmore marriages. You said you would have to bevery careful because they were watching UncleWendell's place and LeRoy's place. You said thatsome of the men you have handled are becomingyour bitter enemies. You said you were veryconcerned about Jerry Jessop Jr., what he will do.He has not had the Spirit ofGodfor so long. Yousaid, "The Lord hasn't shown me all my traitors,but He is warning me very strongly about thisman. "

At 6:20 p.m. your body started jerking andjolt ing again. You opened your eyes and lookedaround or just a minute, then laid your head backon the pillow. Then you went very, very quiet andstill until 7:10 p. m. Again through that time Icould feel father here so, so strong. I know he is

here with you all the time, but I could feel thasomeone else was here also. It is such a sweepeaceful feeling. You reached up with your righhand. You held it there for about three minutebefore youput it down. You sighed when you werputting it down. It was such a sweet peacefufeeling.

At 7:10 p.m. you said, "It isjust marvelous whais happening, it is just marvelous. I don' t feel tojust rush away from this place for some reason. will be here as long as the Lord keeps me here. will know when I am supposed to leave." You said"I still feell ike there is something I am supposed towrite." Then you said, "Whether I write it here oon the road, I don't know. I have gone over thiland and become acquainted with how it looks athe Lord has directed me. I am seeking to knowwhat to do next. He will show me. He will showme. "At 7:30 p.m. you sat up on one elbow and yosaid, "When will this earth rest? When will thiearth rest? I canfeel it groaning, the pain of t. Ait trembles, I tremble." You said, "The Lord itesting me.
