Pastor Byrd: So, as we finalize
and culminate our revival,
00:00:22.16\00:00:25.36
come from
Revelation, Chapter 14,
00:00:25.36\00:00:31.76
verse 6: "And I
saw another angel fly
00:00:31.76\00:00:38.26
in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel
00:00:38.26\00:00:42.23
to preach unto them
that dwell on the earth,
00:00:42.23\00:00:44.36
and to every
nation, and kindred,
00:00:44.36\00:00:46.36
and tongue, and
people saying with
00:00:46.36\00:00:48.36
a loud voice, Fear God,
00:00:48.36\00:00:50.36
and give glory to him; for
the hour of his judgment is
00:00:50.36\00:00:52.36
come: and worship
him that made heaven,
00:00:52.36\00:00:54.36
and earth, and the sea,
00:00:54.36\00:00:56.36
and the fountains of waters.
00:00:56.36\00:00:57.36
And there followed
another angel, saying,
00:00:57.36\00:00:59.36
Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city,
00:00:59.36\00:01:01.43
because she made all
nations drink of the wine of the
00:01:01.43\00:01:04.46
wrath of her fornication.
00:01:04.46\00:01:05.60
And the third
angel followed them,
00:01:05.60\00:01:07.60
saying with a loud
voice, If any man worship
00:01:07.60\00:01:10.10
the beast and his
image, and receive his mark
00:01:10.10\00:01:15.96
in his forehead, or in his hand,
00:01:15.96\00:01:17.96
the same shall drink of
the wine of the wrath of God,
00:01:17.96\00:01:19.96
which is poured out
without mixture into the cup
00:01:19.96\00:01:22.16
of his indignation;
and he shall be tormented
00:01:22.16\00:01:24.86
with fire and brimstone in
the presence of the holy angels,
00:01:24.86\00:01:27.70
and in the presence of the Lamb:
and the smoke of their torment
00:01:27.70\00:01:31.00
ascendeth up for ever and
ever: and they have no rest
00:01:31.00\00:01:33.83
day nor night,
who worship the beast
00:01:33.83\00:01:36.36
and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the mark
00:01:36.36\00:01:39.40
of his name.
00:01:39.40\00:01:40.46
Here is the
patience of the saints;
00:01:40.46\00:01:45.76
here are they that keep
the commandments of God,
00:01:45.76\00:01:48.90
and have the testimony
and faith of Jesus Christ.
00:01:48.90\00:01:56.53
I thought it was fitting
that we culminate with me
00:01:56.53\00:01:59.70
just simply telling you why
I am a Seventh-day Adventist.
00:01:59.70\00:02:07.06
God, speak,
00:02:09.33\00:02:11.33
your servants heareth.
00:02:12.70\00:02:13.70
Move today the airwaves,
move today over the radio,
00:02:13.70\00:02:22.73
move today over the Internet,
and move in this sanctuary.
00:02:22.73\00:02:24.86
And God, we give
you the praise for what
00:02:24.86\00:02:26.86
you're going to do today.
00:02:26.86\00:02:29.56
Forgive me of my sins.
00:02:29.56\00:02:32.63
And when the appeal is
made, God, I pray that your
00:02:32.63\00:02:35.56
Holy Ghost would
make himself known
00:02:35.56\00:02:37.56
like never before.
00:02:37.56\00:02:39.86
It's in Jesus'
name we pray, Amen.
00:02:39.86\00:02:42.76
I want to welcome those who are
watching on television and the
00:02:42.76\00:02:47.46
Internet, specifically those in
00:02:47.46\00:02:49.70
Charleston, South Carolina,
the Mount Carmel Seventh-day
00:02:49.70\00:02:52.13
Adventist Church.
00:02:52.13\00:02:53.13
Every night you have
turned on the television,
00:02:53.13\00:02:56.16
the Internet and
put us on the broad,
00:02:56.16\00:02:58.23
big screen at your church,
and we here in Huntsville,
00:02:58.23\00:03:00.70
Alabama at
Oakwood University Church,
00:03:00.70\00:03:03.20
we welcome you today.
00:03:03.20\00:03:04.33
In our world today there
are many different faith groups,
00:03:04.33\00:03:11.06
many different denominations,
many different ministries,
00:03:11.06\00:03:16.43
many different churches.
00:03:16.43\00:03:20.36
I've learned over the years that
some join a church because of
00:03:20.36\00:03:25.73
convenience.
00:03:25.73\00:03:26.73
The church is down the street.
00:03:26.73\00:03:29.46
So, because it's down
the street and the fact
00:03:29.46\00:03:33.53
that gas prices are $4
and then some, some people
00:03:33.53\00:03:38.06
will say, I will
join this church because
00:03:38.06\00:03:41.66
this church is convenient.
00:03:41.66\00:03:43.63
We have others that join
or are a part of a ministry
00:03:43.63\00:03:46.60
or a church or a
movement, a faith group,
00:03:46.60\00:03:49.70
because of tradition.
00:03:49.70\00:03:52.66
My mama did it,
my grandmama did it,
00:03:52.66\00:03:55.16
Big Mama did
it, so I must do it.
00:03:55.16\00:04:04.40
We have others who join a church
or ministry or faith group
00:04:04.40\00:04:07.50
because it's popular.
00:04:07.50\00:04:10.10
It's what's hot.
00:04:10.10\00:04:11.90
It's what's happening.
00:04:11.90\00:04:13.40
It's what hyped.
00:04:13.40\00:04:14.93
So because I want
to be a part of that,
00:04:14.93\00:04:17.50
I'll join that ministry.
00:04:17.50\00:04:20.36
We have others that go
to different ministries
00:04:20.36\00:04:22.43
and churches just
because you go to go.
00:04:22.43\00:04:28.00
You don't know why you
go, but you just go to go.
00:04:28.00\00:04:35.86
But as we have
said in this revival,
00:04:35.86\00:04:38.60
if you are going
to go just to go,
00:04:38.60\00:04:42.36
you better know what
you believe, know why
00:04:42.36\00:04:47.16
you believe it, and
where it's found from the
00:04:47.16\00:04:51.80
Word of God.
00:04:51.80\00:04:53.76
As I tell my testimony today
I want to be clear to those
00:04:53.76\00:04:57.06
watching and those
in this sanctuary today,
00:04:57.06\00:05:00.66
to be a Seventh-day
Adventist, Seventh-day Adventism
00:05:02.06\00:05:07.10
is not a cult.
00:05:07.10\00:05:13.26
We do not pay extreme
homage to the preacher.
00:05:13.26\00:05:19.66
The Lord knows I know.
00:05:19.66\00:05:21.56
Hehe.
00:05:21.56\00:05:25.06
But it is not a cult.
00:05:25.06\00:05:29.66
It is not a crazy faith group.
00:05:29.66\00:05:33.53
Seventh-day Adventism is
not and should not be isolated
00:05:33.53\00:05:43.56
and insulated.
00:05:43.56\00:05:46.26
God has not called
this faith group to minister
00:05:46.26\00:05:50.93
only to ourselves.
00:05:50.93\00:05:54.20
So, it's because we
are Christian believers,
00:05:54.20\00:05:58.56
we will partner
with the Salvation Army.
00:05:58.56\00:06:02.40
We will partner with other
community agencies that seek to
00:06:02.40\00:06:06.73
go about doing good,
because when Jesus was on this
00:06:06.73\00:06:10.30
earth and because we're
a follower of Jesus Christ,
00:06:10.30\00:06:13.33
we, too, seek to do good.
00:06:13.33\00:06:17.46
Seventh-day Adventism is
not, and let me be clear,
00:06:17.46\00:06:22.56
and should not be
rooted in superiority.
00:06:22.56\00:06:29.66
We're not rooted in
a mindset that says,
00:06:29.66\00:06:32.46
I'm better than you.
00:06:32.46\00:06:36.53
Understand the ground
is level at the cross.
00:06:36.53\00:06:42.06
In this faith group there are no
big I's and there are no little
00:06:42.06\00:06:46.46
you's.
00:06:46.46\00:06:47.73
Understand that in this faith
group because we're not better
00:06:47.73\00:06:50.36
than anybody else, we just,
00:06:50.36\00:06:53.10
like everybody else,
are sinners saved by grace.
00:06:53.10\00:06:56.13
So, then I say what we are
00:06:59.46\00:07:02.73
is a Christian
community that celebrates Christ
00:07:02.73\00:07:10.40
and teaches his commandments.
00:07:10.40\00:07:14.23
So that's why if we
sing, "O come let's adore him,
00:07:14.23\00:07:17.30
I lift my hands because
I'm a Christian community
00:07:17.30\00:07:20.66
that celebrates Christ.
00:07:20.66\00:07:23.10
If we sing "Lift the
Savior up, he's worthy,
00:07:23.10\00:07:26.13
I lift my hands because
I'm a Christian community that
00:07:26.13\00:07:29.56
celebrates Christ.
00:07:29.56\00:07:30.83
When we sing "Under his
wings my soul shall abide,
00:07:30.83\00:07:37.30
something
happens within my body,
00:07:37.30\00:07:39.36
soul and spirit,
because I'm a Christian
00:07:39.36\00:07:42.43
community that
celebrates what Jesus Christ
00:07:42.43\00:07:45.66
has done for me.
00:07:45.66\00:07:46.86
This faith group is
rooted, though, in full
00:07:46.86\00:07:55.20
biblical truth.
00:07:55.20\00:07:56.76
Now let me be clear to those who
will be baptized today as a new
00:07:56.76\00:08:01.93
Seventh-day Adventist
Christian, Bible study is what
00:08:01.93\00:08:07.00
brought you here,
Bible study is what's going
00:08:07.00\00:08:10.70
to keep you here.
00:08:10.70\00:08:11.70
Rooted in
biblical truths on Christ,
00:08:11.70\00:08:18.06
the solid rock,
this church is built.
00:08:18.06\00:08:21.06
Sanctify them
through thy truth, thy Word,
00:08:21.06\00:08:24.53
O God, is truth.
00:08:24.53\00:08:26.50
And so I don't make apologies
for full biblical truth,
00:08:26.50\00:08:31.33
because truth needs no defense.
00:08:31.33\00:08:34.10
Now, I've
learned in my preaching,
00:08:34.10\00:08:36.10
and I think you've
understand my presentation,
00:08:36.10\00:08:38.86
while I'm teaching to be
rooted in biblical truth,
00:08:38.86\00:08:41.86
I'm very clear that we are not
superior to anybody else and it
00:08:41.86\00:08:45.43
is not my job or goal or desire
to disparage other churches
00:08:45.43\00:08:50.93
or beliefs.
00:08:50.93\00:08:52.80
Because I'm
clear, there are a lot of
00:08:52.80\00:08:55.76
good Christians in
other faith groups.
00:08:55.76\00:08:58.06
There are a lot of
good Christians in other
00:08:58.06\00:09:00.86
denominations
and other churches.
00:09:00.86\00:09:02.90
And it's not
about church bashing,
00:09:02.90\00:09:07.00
it's not about
I'm better than you,
00:09:07.00\00:09:10.56
but it's all
about where is God's
00:09:10.56\00:09:12.63
full Word and
truth being preached.
00:09:12.63\00:09:15.26
It's not about who's
caught up in popularity,
00:09:15.26\00:09:18.83
tradition or convenience,
but it's about who's not afraid
00:09:18.83\00:09:22.70
to call sin by its right name.
00:09:22.70\00:09:24.40
Now, the student
of truth keeps an
00:09:24.40\00:09:28.80
open Bible, an
open mind and an open
00:09:28.80\00:09:33.13
dictionary,
because the Word of God,
00:09:33.13\00:09:35.90
its truth is one thing for
which there are no substitutes.
00:09:35.90\00:09:40.30
Truth is something which
must be known with the mind,
00:09:40.30\00:09:43.03
accepted with the heart
and practiced in the life.
00:09:43.03\00:09:47.33
I've learned over the years
that it's not always popular,
00:09:47.33\00:09:50.96
but it's always right.
00:09:50.96\00:09:52.30
So, it's not about
how many choirs you have,
00:09:52.30\00:09:56.96
not about how many
buses you might have,
00:09:56.96\00:10:00.06
not about how many
billboards you might have,
00:10:00.06\00:10:02.76
how many
programs you might have,
00:10:02.76\00:10:04.76
how many members you might have.
00:10:04.76\00:10:06.76
It's not about how many
ministries you might have.
00:10:06.76\00:10:08.76
All of these things are great,
but the heart of the matter is,
00:10:08.76\00:10:11.93
are you preaching and teaching
what thus saith the Lord?
00:10:11.93\00:10:15.80
Now, listen to me good.
00:10:18.56\00:10:20.83
Let's be clear on what
God calls of us as Christians.
00:10:25.30\00:10:31.26
Because I'm learning, you
know, you've got a lot of people
00:10:31.26\00:10:35.10
in the parking lot
conversation that say
00:10:35.10\00:10:39.06
and measure what's good and
what's not good when it comes
00:10:39.06\00:10:42.33
to church.
00:10:42.33\00:10:44.70
But understand, as
I say it all the time,
00:10:44.70\00:10:46.80
preaching is not decibel level.
00:10:46.80\00:10:50.06
If you're going to
shout, you better say something
00:10:50.06\00:10:52.06
worth shouting about.
00:10:52.06\00:10:54.56
We're getting caught up in
too much hoopla and hollering,
00:10:54.56\00:10:58.60
but we're here
not for all of that,
00:10:58.60\00:11:01.70
but we're here
to preach the truth.
00:11:01.70\00:11:04.36
I'm the first one to tell
you, if it's good I'll hoop
00:11:04.36\00:11:08.90
and hum a little bit.
00:11:08.90\00:11:10.80
But I want to be
rooted in the Word of God.
00:11:10.80\00:11:14.96
And so why am I a
Seventh-day Adventist?
00:11:14.96\00:11:19.86
Number one, Carlton
Byrd is a Seventh-day
00:11:19.86\00:11:23.60
Adventist because the
Word of God says in Revelation,
00:11:23.60\00:11:27.60
Chapter 12, verse 17,
"And the dragon was wroth
00:11:27.60\00:11:36.60
with the woman,
and went to make war
00:11:36.60\00:11:40.00
with the remnant of her seed,
which keep the commandments
00:11:40.00\00:11:45.66
of God, and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ."
00:11:45.66\00:11:51.66
If we break that verse
down, the dragon, that's Satan.
00:11:51.66\00:11:56.10
Satan, not the
person sitting next to you,
00:11:56.10\00:11:59.33
not the person you
work for, not the person
00:11:59.33\00:12:01.43
you're living with, but
Satan is mad with the woman.
00:12:01.43\00:12:06.56
The woman is God's
church, God's true church.
00:12:06.56\00:12:12.66
Satan is mad with
the people of God.
00:12:12.66\00:12:15.90
God's people are divine as those
that keep God's commandments
00:12:15.90\00:12:22.06
and those that have the
testimony of Jesus Christ.
00:12:22.06\00:12:26.13
Revelation 19:10 is clear that"
the testimony of Jesus Christ
00:12:26.13\00:12:30.33
is the spirit of prophecy."
00:12:30.33\00:12:33.16
Satan is mad with those people.
00:12:33.16\00:12:37.53
So, you know what?
00:12:37.53\00:12:39.16
Sometimes even though I
don't like it, I don't like
00:12:39.16\00:12:42.33
the tough times I have
to go through and the trials
00:12:42.33\00:12:44.80
I have to go through.
00:12:44.80\00:12:45.80
I never woke up in
the morning and said, God,
00:12:45.80\00:12:47.80
let me, I'm willing,
I'll be your spiritual
00:12:47.80\00:12:50.36
guinea pig.
00:12:50.36\00:12:51.86
But I have learned in this
life, I've learned that when
00:12:51.86\00:12:57.26
the devil is on
you, you must be doing
00:12:57.26\00:12:59.40
something right.
00:12:59.40\00:13:01.50
Because if the devil
weren't messing with you,
00:13:01.50\00:13:03.90
maybe you and the devil are
running in the same direction.
00:13:03.90\00:13:07.36
Because when you decide
to be a child of the most
00:13:07.36\00:13:09.96
high God, that's
when trouble starts.
00:13:09.96\00:13:13.00
That's when trials come.
00:13:13.00\00:13:14.70
But I'm so glad,
troubles don't last always,
00:13:14.70\00:13:19.06
and I'm so glad that
weeping may endure for a night,
00:13:19.06\00:13:23.43
but joy comes in
the morning time.
00:13:23.43\00:13:26.13
We must keep the
commandments of God,
00:13:26.13\00:13:28.93
the testimony of
Jesus Christ and that's why,
00:13:28.93\00:13:32.33
number one, I'm a
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:13:32.33\00:13:36.46
Number two, why am I
a Seventh-day Adventist?
00:13:36.46\00:13:41.13
Revelation 14:6: " I saw
another angel fly in the midst
00:13:41.13\00:13:45.70
of heaven, having
the everlasting gospel."
00:13:45.70\00:13:47.70
What kind of gospel, everybody?
00:13:47.70\00:13:49.70
(Aud: Everlasting.) "To
preach unto them that dwell
00:13:49.70\00:13:51.70
on the earth,
and to every nation,
00:13:51.70\00:13:53.70
and kindred, and tongue,
and people." Understand that I'm
00:13:53.70\00:13:55.70
must be a part of a
movement, I must be a part
00:13:55.70\00:13:57.70
of a faith group
that is willing to take
00:13:57.70\00:13:59.80
the gospel everywhere.
00:13:59.80\00:14:03.00
To the high and to the low.
00:14:03.00\00:14:05.66
To the down and to the out.
00:14:05.66\00:14:08.10
In America and overseas.
00:14:08.10\00:14:10.33
The gospel must go everywhere.
00:14:10.33\00:14:12.66
Go ye therefore
and teach all nations,
00:14:12.66\00:14:15.73
baptizing them in
the name of the Father,
00:14:15.73\00:14:18.83
the Son and the Holy Ghost.
00:14:18.83\00:14:21.30
Preach the gospel, the
message of Jesus Christ
00:14:21.30\00:14:24.60
is not local.
00:14:24.60\00:14:25.96
The message of Jesus
Christ is not limited to
00:14:25.96\00:14:28.76
Huntsville, Alabama.
00:14:28.76\00:14:30.63
The message of Jesus Christ
is not limited to Atlanta,
00:14:30.63\00:14:33.83
Georgia or New York, New York.
00:14:33.83\00:14:35.90
But the message of Jesus
Christ must go to everybody,
00:14:35.90\00:14:39.10
everywhere and
then Jesus will come.
00:14:39.10\00:14:43.33
Number three, I'm a
Seventh-day Adventist
00:14:43.33\00:14:47.26
because Revelation 14:7 says you
must say it with a loud voice.
00:14:47.26\00:14:54.86
"Fear God. Give
glory to him; for the hour
00:14:54.86\00:14:59.80
of his judgment is come:
and worship him that made
00:14:59.80\00:15:03.70
heaven, and earth, and the sea,
and the fountains of waters."
00:15:03.70\00:15:06.90
God is calling
in these last days.
00:15:06.90\00:15:10.23
He's calling up
people, he's calling you,
00:15:10.23\00:15:13.00
he is calling me,
to stand up with loud
00:15:13.00\00:15:15.76
voices and say,
Fear God, the hour
00:15:15.76\00:15:18.70
of God's judgment is come.
00:15:18.70\00:15:20.96
Yes, the Lord loves
you, yes, the Lord loves me,
00:15:20.96\00:15:24.20
but God is trying
to raise up a standard.
00:15:24.20\00:15:26.20
Fear God.
00:15:26.20\00:15:28.46
Give glory to him.
00:15:28.46\00:15:33.53
God's last day movement will
proclaim that the hour of God's
00:15:33.53\00:15:38.63
judgment is come.
00:15:38.63\00:15:39.86
You see, last year
at this time, all of
00:15:39.86\00:15:43.10
us on our knees, Lord,
spare us. Lord, save us.
00:15:43.10\00:15:46.16
Tornado has come through but as
soon as God rescues us it seems
00:15:46.16\00:15:49.83
that amnesia sets in.
00:15:49.83\00:15:53.80
Fear God, the
hour of his judgement
00:15:53.80\00:15:59.80
is come.
00:15:59.80\00:16:01.36
Number four.
00:16:01.36\00:16:03.33
Why am I a
Seventh-day Adventist?
00:16:03.33\00:16:05.40
Verse 8: "And there
followed another angel, saying,
00:16:05.40\00:16:09.70
Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city,
00:16:09.70\00:16:14.16
because she made all nations
drink of the wine of the wrath
00:16:14.16\00:16:16.73
of her fornication."
00:16:16.73\00:16:18.96
Babylon, symbolically,
prophetically is spiritual
00:16:18.96\00:16:21.90
confusion.
00:16:21.90\00:16:24.30
People are
spiritually confused today,
00:16:24.30\00:16:26.86
because people have
drunk the wine from Babylon.
00:16:26.86\00:16:35.03
Babylon, Revelation
18 talks about Babylon,
00:16:35.03\00:16:38.33
the mother of all harlots.
00:16:38.33\00:16:41.20
Mama, the mother
church, has made her daughter,
00:16:41.20\00:16:45.56
her children,
drink wine, talking about
00:16:45.56\00:16:48.20
spiritual
teachings that are not rooted
00:16:48.20\00:16:50.63
in the Word of God.
00:16:50.63\00:16:52.83
And so because Mama has
made her daughters drink wine,
00:16:52.83\00:16:56.73
spiritual doctrines that are
not rooted in the Word of God,
00:16:56.73\00:17:02.93
people have become spiritually
drunk to what is right
00:17:02.93\00:17:07.40
and what is wrong.
00:17:07.40\00:17:09.30
Mama, the institution
of the Catholic Church,
00:17:09.30\00:17:12.93
has made her
daughters drink this wine,
00:17:12.93\00:17:16.90
wine of eternal torment.
00:17:16.90\00:17:18.96
It's not in here.
00:17:18.96\00:17:20.46
Wine of counterfeit
baptism, it's not in here.
00:17:20.46\00:17:23.76
Wine of Sunday
sacredness, it's not in here.
00:17:23.76\00:17:26.90
Wine of
purgatory, it's not in here.
00:17:26.90\00:17:31.56
And as a result, the
daughters of the Mama
00:17:31.56\00:17:37.60
are spiritually drunk.
00:17:37.60\00:17:39.60
(chattering) But God
said that his church will say
00:17:39.60\00:17:45.80
with a loud voice,
Babylon is fallen, it's fallen.
00:17:45.80\00:17:50.60
Get up out of
Babylon, because it's fallen.
00:17:50.60\00:17:55.23
That's another reason
I'm a Seventh-day Adventist
00:17:55.23\00:17:59.03
Christian.
00:17:59.03\00:18:00.10
Why am I a
Seventh-day Adventist?
00:18:00.10\00:18:04.43
Number five.
00:18:04.43\00:18:05.43
(Revelation 14:9) "And
the third angel followed them,
00:18:05.43\00:18:08.56
saying with a loud voice,
If any man worship the beast
00:18:08.56\00:18:12.96
and his image,
and receive his mark
00:18:12.96\00:18:15.50
in his forehead, or in his hand,
00:18:15.50\00:18:17.50
the same shall drink of
the wine of the wrath of God,
00:18:17.50\00:18:19.50
which is poured out
without mixture into the cup
00:18:19.50\00:18:21.50
of his indignation; and
he shall be tormented with
00:18:21.50\00:18:23.50
fire and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels,
00:18:23.50\00:18:25.50
and in the presence of the Lamb.
00:18:25.50\00:18:26.50
And the smoke of their torment
ascendeth up for ever and ever,
00:18:26.50\00:18:29.66
and they have no
rest day nor night,
00:18:29.66\00:18:31.66
who worship the
beast and his image,
00:18:31.66\00:18:33.66
and whosoever receiveth the mark
of his name." I am a Seventh-day
00:18:33.66\00:18:37.56
Adventist Christian because
it will clearly warn against
00:18:37.56\00:18:42.56
worshiping the beast
and receiving its mark.
00:18:42.56\00:18:45.96
I wish I had time,
but you're in here now,
00:18:45.96\00:18:49.30
so I'm going to take my time.
00:18:49.30\00:18:51.66
The Sabbath is so important.
00:18:51.66\00:18:53.33
Young people, listen to me.
00:18:53.33\00:18:55.10
Don't get this
twisted and get it mixed up.
00:18:55.10\00:18:57.16
When you go home this
summer, sound the loud cry.
00:18:57.16\00:19:00.80
The Sabbath is important because
the Sabbath bears God's seal.
00:19:00.80\00:19:06.63
Any seal that
you have has a name,
00:19:06.63\00:19:09.80
a title and a territory.
00:19:09.80\00:19:12.33
If you have President Obama
up here, he would have his seal
00:19:12.33\00:19:15.46
up here, his name, Barack Obama,
00:19:15.46\00:19:18.20
his title, he's
President, his territory,
00:19:18.20\00:19:21.63
the United States of America.
00:19:21.63\00:19:23.83
God has a seal.
00:19:27.43\00:19:29.43
God's seal is God's Sabbath.
00:19:30.60\00:19:34.36
God's seal, God's Sabbath,
00:19:34.36\00:19:36.36
is recorded in the
fourth commandment.
00:19:36.36\00:19:39.13
I don't know if they
teach this so I'm going
00:19:39.13\00:19:41.36
to teach it right now.
00:19:41.36\00:19:43.16
God's seal, the Sabbath,
00:19:43.16\00:19:45.16
the name, the
title and the territory
00:19:45.16\00:19:48.53
of God's seal is
in God's Sabbath.
00:19:48.53\00:19:50.93
Name, the Lord; title,
00:19:50.93\00:19:53.33
thy God, he is our creator;
00:19:53.33\00:19:55.33
territory,
heaven and earth; sea,
00:19:55.33\00:19:58.50
and all that in them is.
00:19:58.50\00:20:00.10
Hallelujah, somebody.
00:20:00.10\00:20:02.10
That's why it's so
important, sound the loud cry.
00:20:02.10\00:20:05.26
It's more than just coming
in here clapping our hands
00:20:05.26\00:20:11.33
and stomping our feet.
00:20:11.33\00:20:13.36
The Sabbath is a sign of God's
creative and redeeming power.
00:20:13.36\00:20:18.03
Don't you let anyone
else tell you otherwise.
00:20:18.03\00:20:21.40
We are moving
through in our world
00:20:21.40\00:20:23.60
a new world order.
00:20:23.60\00:20:25.26
We are moving to a scenario
where they're seeking to be
00:20:25.26\00:20:28.06
unity here and unity there.
00:20:28.06\00:20:30.40
Brothers and sisters,
remember the Word of God says,
00:20:30.40\00:20:33.03
when you hear peace and safety
00:20:33.03\00:20:35.03
you better know that
there is sudden destruction.
00:20:35.03\00:20:40.36
We are moving to
a cashless society.
00:20:40.36\00:20:42.63
I preached it,
some of you didn't come,
00:20:42.63\00:20:46.03
but I'm going to preach it
again because repetition deepens
00:20:46.03\00:20:50.73
the impression.
00:20:50.73\00:20:51.76
I go to McDonald's now.
00:20:51.76\00:20:53.86
I don't need cash.
00:20:53.86\00:20:54.86
I use my card.
00:20:54.86\00:20:57.23
I go to the
airport and buy USA Today,
00:20:57.23\00:20:59.96
I don't need cash anymore.
00:20:59.96\00:21:01.20
I use my card.
00:21:01.20\00:21:02.80
You better understand
the times in which we live.
00:21:02.80\00:21:08.10
God's true commandment-keeping
people will warn against
00:21:08.10\00:21:12.06
worshipping the beast
and receiving its mark.
00:21:12.06\00:21:15.70
If God's seal is God's
Sabbath, then friends of mine,
00:21:15.70\00:21:19.50
you know what must be
an image of Satan's mind.
00:21:19.50\00:21:22.53
Number six.
00:21:22.53\00:21:28.30
You ain't going to get this
everywhere in the church or out
00:21:28.30\00:21:32.73
of the church.
00:21:32.73\00:21:34.03
Number six.
00:21:34.03\00:21:38.60
Revelation 14:12: "Here is the
patience of the saints: here are
00:21:38.60\00:21:45.43
they that keep the
commandments of God,
00:21:45.43\00:21:48.66
and the faith of Jesus" Christ.
00:21:48.66\00:21:54.40
I'm a part of this commandment
keeping body because we keep all
00:21:54.40\00:21:58.43
commandments of God.
00:21:58.43\00:22:00.23
And you don't just keep one or
two or keep none and keep one.
00:22:00.23\00:22:03.90
The Bible says in
James, you're guilty of all.
00:22:03.90\00:22:06.20
I said it once,
I'll say it again,
00:22:06.20\00:22:08.20
if you're going to go
to hell, go first class.
00:22:08.20\00:22:15.20
I'm a part of this movement
because I want to keep God's
00:22:17.76\00:22:21.43
word about the Bible,
God's word about the Sabbath,
00:22:21.43\00:22:26.50
God's word about
the state of the dead,
00:22:26.50\00:22:29.50
God's word about
his second coming,
00:22:29.50\00:22:32.16
God's word
about his health laws,
00:22:32.16\00:22:34.43
God's word about baptism.
00:22:34.43\00:22:36.96
And so I studied it all.
00:22:36.96\00:22:39.83
Not just Christianity
but other religions.
00:22:39.83\00:22:42.80
My comparative religion
teacher is a member right here
00:22:42.80\00:22:45.50
in this church and
that is Dr. Mervin Wahl.
00:22:45.50\00:22:47.50
Where we study
different religions.
00:22:47.50\00:22:49.50
Buddhism, studied it.
00:22:49.50\00:22:52.06
Islam, studied it.
00:22:52.06\00:22:54.96
Christianity, that's what I am,
00:22:54.96\00:22:57.23
a follower of Jesus Christ.
00:22:57.23\00:23:00.43
And I've given you six
reasons why I'm a Christian
00:23:00.43\00:23:04.56
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:23:04.56\00:23:07.43
movement.
00:23:07.43\00:23:08.43
The only church that keeps
the entire commandments of God.
00:23:08.43\00:23:13.80
The only church
that is being ridiculed,
00:23:13.80\00:23:15.80
being called all kinds of names
because it worships just on
00:23:15.80\00:23:18.06
God's seventh-day Sabbath.
00:23:18.06\00:23:19.80
Watch and be careful
of all what you see on TV.
00:23:19.80\00:23:24.30
Watch and be careful
of every pamphlet you get.
00:23:24.30\00:23:26.46
Watch and be careful
of every e-mail you get.
00:23:26.46\00:23:28.93
Everything that's sent
over the Internet is not of God.
00:23:28.93\00:23:31.63
God's true commandment-keeping
church is not a majority church,
00:23:31.63\00:23:35.20
but it's a minority church
because it recognizes it must
00:23:35.20\00:23:39.13
follow the straight and narrow.
00:23:39.13\00:23:41.06
It is the only church that has
been built on the rock Christ
00:23:41.06\00:23:46.20
Jesus and the gates of hell
have not prevailed against it.
00:23:46.20\00:23:50.53
God has called us to be
not just hearers of the Word,
00:23:50.53\00:23:55.23
but doers of the Word, and
Jesus says in Matthew 12:30:
00:23:55.23\00:23:59.56
"He that is not with me
is against me." To the law,
00:23:59.56\00:24:04.33
to the testimony,
they speak not according
00:24:04.33\00:24:06.86
to this Word, it
is because there is
00:24:06.86\00:24:09.30
no light in them.
00:24:09.30\00:24:12.93
Let us hear the
conclusion of the whole matter.
00:24:12.93\00:24:15.10
Fear God.
00:24:15.10\00:24:16.10
Keep his commandments.
00:24:16.10\00:24:17.43
This is the whole duty of man.
00:24:17.43\00:24:21.16
So yes, today, I'm a
Seventh-day Adventist
00:24:21.16\00:24:24.90
Christian, why?
00:24:24.90\00:24:26.90
Because I understand the
dragon's mad with the church,
00:24:26.90\00:24:28.90
the church keeps the
commandments and the testimony
00:24:28.90\00:24:31.43
of Jesus Christ.
00:24:31.43\00:24:32.43
I'm a part of this
commandment-keeping body because
00:24:32.43\00:24:34.46
we have been called
to go into all the world.
00:24:34.46\00:24:36.63
I'm a part of this
commandment-keeping body because
00:24:36.63\00:24:38.73
we have to proclaim the
hour of God's judgment now.
00:24:38.73\00:24:41.23
I'm a part of this commandment
- keeping body because God
00:24:41.23\00:24:44.00
is calling us out of Babylon.
00:24:44.00\00:24:46.23
I'm a part of this
commandment-keeping
00:24:46.23\00:24:49.00
body because the true
church, the Seventh-day
00:24:49.00\00:24:51.33
Adventist Church,
God's remnant church,
00:24:51.33\00:24:53.40
God's remnant
movement, will warn against
00:24:53.40\00:24:55.86
worshipping the beast.
00:24:55.86\00:24:57.10
I am a part of this
movement because we have
00:24:57.10\00:25:01.33
the patience of the
saints, those that keep God's
00:25:01.33\00:25:05.03
commandments.
00:25:05.03\00:25:06.03
But then finally, number seven,
00:25:06.03\00:25:08.03
because we are
Seventh-day Adventists,
00:25:08.03\00:25:11.70
I'm a part of this
commandment-keeping body
00:25:11.70\00:25:15.40
because this body believes
that salvation only comes
00:25:15.40\00:25:23.96
through Jesus Christ.
00:25:23.96\00:25:28.00
That's why I'm a
part of this body.
00:25:28.00\00:25:30.00
Acts 4:12, There
is no other name unto
00:25:30.00\00:25:35.66
heaven whereby we can be saved,
but save the name of Jesus.
00:25:35.66\00:25:45.33
If you want to know God,
you've got to know Jesus.
00:25:45.33\00:25:49.23
If you want to
know what God is like,
00:25:49.23\00:25:51.23
you've got to look at Jesus.
00:25:51.23\00:25:53.10
If you want to
know the grace of God,
00:25:53.10\00:25:55.13
see Jesus.
00:25:55.13\00:25:56.46
If you want the love of
God, you've got to love Jesus.
00:25:56.46\00:25:59.80
If you want the salvation of
God, you've got to trust Jesus.
00:25:59.80\00:26:03.53
If you want the
blessings of God, tell Jesus.
00:26:03.53\00:26:07.00
And if you seek the
will of God, ask Jesus.
00:26:07.00\00:26:10.56
And if you want to
live eternally with God,
00:26:10.56\00:26:13.10
live with Jesus.
00:26:13.10\00:26:14.36
Jesus.
00:26:14.36\00:26:17.33
That's the icing on the cake.
00:26:17.33\00:26:19.43
That's why I'm a
part of this message.
00:26:19.43\00:26:21.43
That's why I'm a
part of this movement,
00:26:21.43\00:26:23.66
because of Jesus.
00:26:23.66\00:26:25.46
Way maker, problem solver,
00:26:25.46\00:26:28.50
heart fixer, mind regulator,
00:26:28.50\00:26:31.03
bridge over
troubled water, bill payer,
00:26:31.03\00:26:35.26
tuition clearer,
headache reliever,
00:26:35.26\00:26:38.10
marriage savior,
lily of the valley,
00:26:38.10\00:26:42.53
bright and the morning
star, fairest of ten thousand.
00:26:42.53\00:26:45.70
We get excited about Jesus.
00:26:45.70\00:26:47.40
He heals the brokenhearted.
00:26:47.40\00:26:49.53
He set the captive free.
00:26:49.53\00:26:52.20
(applause) He made the
lame to walk again and caused
00:26:52.20\00:26:55.66
the blind to see.
So, because of my Jesus,
00:26:55.66\00:27:07.70
my love for him and
what he's done for me,
00:27:07.70\00:27:10.93
number seven makes numbers
one through six possible.
00:27:10.93\00:27:14.56
If it weren't for the blood
of Jesus where would we be?
