The following revelation was given to Fellowship of Christ through David in Ohio on August 21, 2016. The Lord speaks on the organization of the Fellowship. This revelation was voted and accepted as scripture by the Council of Elders of the Fellowship January 5, 2019, and the Church of Jesus Christ in Christian Fellowship April 6, 2019. After this revelation was accepted by the Fellowship it was decided by the Sisters their organization would be called “The Sisterhood of Christ.” The term “Relief Society” has been changed to “Sisterhood” to reflect this.
- Desiring to build the Fellowship, as commanded by the Lord, I was anxious to create a place for the Sisters of Zion.
- Yet at that time, I still had not found the Elect Lady the Lord has promised to call to help with this task.
- Undaunted, I returned to the Lord again in prayer to find out what I could do to help build this part of the Kingdom, the Lord spoke to me, saying:
- Unto my servant, David, I say: I am the Alpha and Omega, Christ the Lord; yea, even I AM, YHVH; the beginning and the end, the Redeemer of the world;
- Behold, I see that thou once again desire to know concerning the organization of the Sisterhood.
- Yea, as I have said unto thee before, the High Priestess and Elect Lady that shall be called in my name as prophetess, seer, and revelator; she shall do this work in my name.
- ¶ I have told thee the formation, and thou hast set it forth; but thou are of Melchizedek and these are my High Priestess after the Order of the Sisterhood of Magdalene;
- Yea, after mine ascension into heaven, behold the flock was scattered and those that followed my servants Peter, James, and John were overtaken by those that followed my servant Paul;
- And these drown out the voice of my servant Mary; yeah even the wife of the Son of Man;
- Yet these could not be hid fully from the world, as her title, Magdalene, was a sign unto those with eyes to see and ears to hear that she too was a fisher of men.
- ¶ And even when my servant Joseph sought to restore this Sisterhood, behold his wife Emma tried to raise her status before it was time;
- Yea, and she fought with her husband over his interpretation of my doctrine;
- And though both were far astray from my views on this, my doctrine, for neither fully understood the ways of the Lord in this matter,
- Still neither would come together in my name and thus the Church was scattered.
- ¶ And my servant Brigham Young took from his branch of my Church the Sisterhood of Magdalene, and reinstated this as the Relief Society after the order of men;
- ¶ And my servant Wallace B. Smith did restore that which my servants Joseph and Brigham took away, yet did not allow them their own space in my Church;
- Thus these were merged with Aaronic and Melchizedek priesthoods.
- ¶ And behold, what thou hast compiled pleaseth me, and I give unto thee a commandment to publish this work.
- And I, Jesus Christ, your Lord and your God, have given this command unto you that I might bring about my righteous purposes unto the children of men; Even so, Amen.
