Doctrine and Covenants 111

Excerpt

1 I, the Lord your God, am not displeased with your coming this journey, notwithstanding your follies. 2 I have much treasure in this city for you, for the benefit of Zion, and many people in this city, whom I will gather out in due time for the benefit of Zion, through your instrumentality. 3 Therefore, it is expedient that you should form acquaintance with men in this city, as you shall be led, and as it shall be given you. 4 And it shall come to pass in due time that I will give this city into your hands, that you shall have power over it, insomuch that they shall not discover your secret parts; and its wealth pertaining to gold and silver shall be yours. 5 Concern not yourselves about your debts , for I will give you power to pay them. 6 Concern not yourselves about Zion, for I will deal mercifully with her. 7 Tarry in this place, and in the regions round about; 8 And the place where it is my will that you should tarry, for the main, shall be signalized unto you by the peace and power of my Spirit , that shall flow unto you. 9 This place you may obtain by hire. And inquire diligently concerning the more ancient inhabitants and founders of this city; 10 For there are more treasures than one for you in this city. 11 Therefore, be ye as wise as serpents and yet without sin ; and I will order all things for your good , as fast as ye are able to receive them.
