"...how few make a practical application of it (this message) to themselves" Selected Messages, book 1, p 306.
"The word of God cannot work effectually in the heart when it is barred out by unbelief" Manuscript Releases, vol 15, p 91.
"The message to the Laodicean...comes home to those who do not apply it to themselves" Council to Writers and Editors, p 99.

And if we refuse to leave the church and the condition of Laodicea, then we are no better than Babylon, and hence we will receive the plagues of God's wrath (see Manuscript Releases, vol 19, p 176)!
