Hello and welcome back
to Behold the Lamb Presents.
00:00:38.87\00:00:41.94
I'm Chris Shelton, your host.
00:00:41.97\00:00:43.44
I want to thank
you for joining us.
00:00:43.47\00:00:46.27
Today we're going to
discuss the final shaking.
00:00:46.31\00:00:50.05
This final
shaking is in reference
00:00:50.08\00:00:52.11
to God's last church,
00:00:52.15\00:00:54.05
His last day people, who
will decide whether or not
00:00:54.08\00:00:58.12
to remain a part of His movement
00:00:58.15\00:01:00.19
or be shaken out
of His remnant church
00:01:00.22\00:01:02.89
completely.
00:01:02.92\00:01:04.33
Pastor Kenny
Shelton will discuss
00:01:04.36\00:01:06.13
some of the
teachings or doctrines
00:01:06.16\00:01:08.56
that bring about this shaking,
00:01:08.60\00:01:10.87
the truth of God's Word
00:01:10.90\00:01:12.33
that people sometimes
find difficult to accept
00:01:12.37\00:01:16.81
since the enemy of souls
00:01:16.84\00:01:18.47
has so cleverly
blinded their eyes
00:01:18.51\00:01:21.38
to what is truth.
00:01:21.41\00:01:23.58
None of us alive at this time
will escape the final shaking.
00:01:23.61\00:01:28.32
Therefore, it behooves
us to find out more about it
00:01:28.35\00:01:32.22
and prayerfully
consider our findings
00:01:32.25\00:01:34.66
in order to make
the right decision.
00:01:34.69\00:01:37.26
It is our prayer that you want
to make heaven your final home,
00:01:37.29\00:01:41.60
and that you do not
want this final shaking
00:01:41.63\00:01:45.53
to negatively
affect your relationship
00:01:45.57\00:01:48.47
with your Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:01:48.50\00:01:51.51
So we encourage
you to stay tuned today
00:01:51.54\00:01:55.48
as Pastor Kenny
Shelton presents,
00:01:55.51\00:01:57.98
The Final Shaking.
00:01:58.01\00:01:59.75
But first, let's visit 3ABN
00:01:59.78\00:02:01.92
and listen to
Brother Moses Brown
00:02:01.95\00:02:04.85
as he sings I
want to be a Christian.
00:02:04.89\00:02:08.46
Lord, I want to be a Christian
00:02:31.35\00:02:38.09
In my heart, in my heart
00:02:38.12\00:02:43.26
Lord, I want to be a Christian
00:02:43.29\00:02:49.86
In my heart
00:02:49.90\00:02:54.37
In my heart,
00:02:54.40\00:02:59.81
In my heart
00:02:59.84\00:03:05.28
Lord, I want to be a Christian
00:03:05.31\00:03:12.25
In my heart
00:03:12.29\00:03:16.42
Lord, I want to
walk like my Jesus
00:03:16.46\00:03:22.90
In my heart, in my heart
00:03:22.93\00:03:27.70
Lord, I want to
walk like my Jesus
00:03:27.74\00:03:33.81
In my heart
00:03:33.84\00:03:38.18
In my heart,
00:03:38.21\00:03:43.12
In my heart
00:03:43.15\00:03:48.62
Lord, I want to
walk like my Jesus
00:03:48.66\00:03:54.80
In my heart
00:03:54.83\00:03:59.93
Lord, I want to live for Jesus
00:03:59.97\00:04:06.21
In my heart, in my heart
00:04:06.24\00:04:10.95
Lord, I want to
live for my Jesus
00:04:10.98\00:04:17.09
In my heart
00:04:17.12\00:04:21.66
In my heart,
00:04:21.69\00:04:27.00
In my heart
00:04:27.03\00:04:32.33
Lord, I want to
live for my Jesus
00:04:32.37\00:04:38.31
In my heart
00:04:38.34\00:04:43.51
Lord, I want to be with Jesus
00:04:43.55\00:04:49.62
In my heart, in my heart
00:04:49.65\00:04:54.66
Lord, I want to be with Jesus
00:04:54.69\00:05:00.43
In my heart
00:05:00.46\00:05:05.77
In my heart,
00:05:05.80\00:05:11.21
In my heart
00:05:11.24\00:05:16.98
Lord, I want to be with Jesus
00:05:17.01\00:05:23.08
Yes, I want to live for Jesus
00:05:23.12\00:05:28.49
Oh, I want to walk like Jesus
00:05:28.52\00:05:34.03
Oh, yes, I want
to be a Christian
00:05:34.06\00:05:40.74
In my heart
00:05:40.77\00:05:46.71
Thanks for
joining us once again here
00:05:59.22\00:06:01.09
at Behold the Lamb Ministries.
00:06:01.12\00:06:02.46
Again, we want to say
thank you for all that you do,
00:06:02.49\00:06:05.63
support of all the ministries
00:06:05.66\00:06:07.03
around the world
that's preaching.
00:06:07.06\00:06:08.90
I want to call it present truth
00:06:08.93\00:06:10.27
if you allow me to say that.
00:06:10.30\00:06:11.90
There's a message that
God has for His people.
00:06:11.93\00:06:14.44
We'll read a little bit later on
00:06:14.47\00:06:15.90
maybe a quote I think
that makes us stop and think.
00:06:15.94\00:06:18.91
Remember God's
messengers have a message.
00:06:18.94\00:06:24.35
I hope we got that.
00:06:24.38\00:06:25.85
There's a lot of
messages going out there
00:06:25.88\00:06:27.65
and I don't believe that's
what God would be having to do
00:06:27.68\00:06:29.52
but that's my personal opinion.
00:06:29.55\00:06:30.99
We'll get into that
a little bit later on.
00:06:31.02\00:06:33.29
Before we begin to study subject
00:06:33.32\00:06:36.42
for today and again,
00:06:36.46\00:06:37.79
we're talking
about The Final Shaking.
00:06:37.83\00:06:40.63
We hear a lot about,
00:06:40.66\00:06:42.00
we're living in
that hour of the shaking.
00:06:42.03\00:06:44.30
And that which is not
fastened down will be what?
00:06:44.33\00:06:47.47
Will be shaken out.
00:06:47.50\00:06:49.30
So let's not get depressed.
00:06:49.34\00:06:51.67
Sometime in the church,
we get little depressed.
00:06:51.71\00:06:53.58
Some people
come, some people go.
00:06:53.61\00:06:55.78
Remember there's
a shaking going on
00:06:55.81\00:06:57.91
and those who are
not serious with God
00:06:57.95\00:07:00.52
will be shaken
out as the test come.
00:07:00.55\00:07:03.39
And we need to find out
00:07:03.42\00:07:04.75
how we make sure
we're not shaken out
00:07:04.79\00:07:06.76
and how we need to
remain attached to Jesus Christ,
00:07:06.79\00:07:09.56
The Final Shaking.
00:07:09.59\00:07:11.79
I want to just
invite you to pray with us.
00:07:11.83\00:07:14.33
We need the power
of the Holy Spirit.
00:07:14.36\00:07:16.03
So I'm going to kneel up here
00:07:16.06\00:07:17.40
and if you will
just pray together,
00:07:17.43\00:07:19.00
and shall with the Holy
Spirit will take possession
00:07:19.03\00:07:20.77
of each of our hearts and lives.
00:07:20.80\00:07:22.20
Loving Father in heaven,
00:07:22.24\00:07:23.57
we thank You for
the privilege of prayer.
00:07:23.61\00:07:24.94
Bless us now we pray
with Thy Holy Spirit.
00:07:24.97\00:07:27.28
Oh, Lord, we
asked you to anoint,
00:07:27.31\00:07:29.81
cleans us, we
plead with your blood.
00:07:29.84\00:07:31.88
We pray that our hands
00:07:31.91\00:07:33.25
and our hearts and
our minds will be clear
00:07:33.28\00:07:34.75
and usable
material for Your Honor
00:07:34.78\00:07:37.09
and for Your glory today.
00:07:37.12\00:07:38.45
Open our hearts and
our minds that we may see
00:07:38.49\00:07:40.26
the message of the hour
today points us to Jesus Christ
00:07:40.29\00:07:43.56
that there is hope for
Your people in Jesus' name.
00:07:43.59\00:07:46.39
Amen.
00:07:46.43\00:07:48.46
Again, if you have your Bible,
turn with me to Zephaniah.
00:07:48.50\00:07:50.47
We're going to read and
going to start with Chapter 2.
00:07:50.50\00:07:52.37
Zephaniah Chapter 2,
00:07:52.40\00:07:53.77
we're going to
read verses 1 through 3.
00:07:53.80\00:07:55.70
Now remember, we
read these things
00:07:55.74\00:07:57.74
don't get caught
up in the fact...
00:07:57.77\00:08:00.41
Sometimes people read and say,
00:08:00.44\00:08:01.78
"Yeah, that was back then.
00:08:01.81\00:08:03.14
That pertain to maybe
Babylon or that talk to Judah.
00:08:03.18\00:08:06.08
It talked about..."
00:08:06.11\00:08:07.45
Listen, this has an application
to the last day people
00:08:07.48\00:08:10.52
and so we need to pay
close attention to that.
00:08:10.55\00:08:12.72
If it was things past
and had no bearing upon
00:08:12.75\00:08:15.12
what's going on in the world,
00:08:15.16\00:08:16.59
you might want to question it.
00:08:16.62\00:08:18.09
This has a bearing.
00:08:18.13\00:08:19.59
In itself it has a bearing
on just before Jesus comes
00:08:19.63\00:08:22.60
and I'm always
interested in that.
00:08:22.63\00:08:24.10
Zephaniah 2:1-3, it says,
"Gather yourselves together,
00:08:24.13\00:08:29.27
yea gather together
O nation not desired"
00:08:29.30\00:08:32.04
interesting words,
"before the decree bring forth,
00:08:32.07\00:08:35.61
before the day pass as a chaff,
00:08:35.64\00:08:38.61
before the fierce anger
of the Lord come upon you."
00:08:38.65\00:08:41.38
Notice this is,
always before the day
00:08:41.42\00:08:43.49
of the Lord's anger come upon.
00:08:43.52\00:08:46.05
Notice this, "You
seek either Lord,"
00:08:46.09\00:08:48.56
verse three, "all
ye meek of the earth,
00:08:48.59\00:08:51.63
which have
wrought His judgment."
00:08:51.66\00:08:53.53
Notice the word,
"Seek righteousness,
00:08:53.56\00:08:56.13
seek meekness:
00:08:56.16\00:08:57.60
it may be that you shall be hid
00:08:57.63\00:09:00.20
in the day of the Lord's anger."
00:09:00.24\00:09:02.74
You know praying,
that's for you and me today,
00:09:02.77\00:09:04.81
we're seeking
righteousness right now,
00:09:04.84\00:09:06.37
we want to be like Christ,
we want to be ready for heaven.
00:09:06.41\00:09:10.31
Zephaniah 2:1-3,
00:09:10.35\00:09:12.75
just give just a little bit
of what was being said there,
00:09:12.78\00:09:14.98
the prophet,
notice prophet of God.
00:09:15.02\00:09:17.85
So when the
prophet of God speaks,
00:09:17.89\00:09:19.22
we need to what,
we need to listen.
00:09:19.25\00:09:21.66
Prophet of God speaks here,
00:09:21.69\00:09:23.12
admonishes the
people to do what?
00:09:23.16\00:09:25.09
Assemble together.
00:09:25.13\00:09:27.06
We assemble together as
we see the day approaching.
00:09:27.10\00:09:29.96
God's last day people
will be coming together.
00:09:30.00\00:09:32.57
They will be studying the
Word, they will be praying,
00:09:32.60\00:09:35.00
they will be preparing.
00:09:35.04\00:09:36.97
There'll be others who
will be dragging their feet
00:09:37.01\00:09:39.74
and then decide maybe
they don't need to be studying
00:09:39.77\00:09:43.21
as much and maybe as they do,
00:09:43.24\00:09:44.91
or maybe they just
don't want to study.
00:09:44.95\00:09:47.02
We're going to see
there's going to cause...
00:09:47.05\00:09:48.38
that's going to be
some divisions that come.
00:09:48.42\00:09:50.52
People are going to be
bickering of what is truth.
00:09:50.55\00:09:53.46
If any group of
people on the face
00:09:53.49\00:09:55.69
of this planet
ought to be together,
00:09:55.72\00:09:57.63
may I be bold and say
it's Seventh-day Adventist.
00:09:57.66\00:10:00.43
That makes sense.
00:10:00.46\00:10:02.23
If any group,
00:10:02.26\00:10:04.93
it should be
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:10:04.97\00:10:06.77
Now again, it's
not just the name.
00:10:06.80\00:10:08.64
We're talking about in
agreement with Scripture
00:10:08.67\00:10:11.24
what the Bible teaches.
00:10:11.27\00:10:13.24
Remember, God
teaches from His Word
00:10:13.27\00:10:15.34
and the devil tries
to counterfeit the Word.
00:10:15.38\00:10:18.48
So if we don't know
what, we're going to be fooled
00:10:18.51\00:10:21.28
so that's why we
study the Word of God.
00:10:21.32\00:10:23.45
He says, "Let's come together.
00:10:23.49\00:10:24.82
Seek God where you
can, seek His mercy
00:10:24.85\00:10:27.89
because the judgments are coming
00:10:27.92\00:10:30.39
and we need His mercy."
00:10:30.43\00:10:32.93
But it's interesting
that it talks about here
00:10:32.96\00:10:34.93
about a nation not desired
00:10:34.96\00:10:37.60
is because it was Judah...
00:10:37.63\00:10:41.24
They could care less
what they were doing.
00:10:41.27\00:10:43.14
They had fallen
away from the Lord.
00:10:43.17\00:10:45.01
They didn't understand sin,
they didn't think about sin,
00:10:45.04\00:10:47.84
and all what happen
00:10:47.88\00:10:49.84
as they chose
this different pathway.
00:10:49.88\00:10:52.38
They had no proper
sense of their guilt
00:10:52.41\00:10:56.89
and that judgment was coming.
00:10:56.92\00:10:58.59
And it's like, "Well,
we're not going to worry
00:10:58.62\00:11:00.32
too much about that."
00:11:00.36\00:11:01.69
If we really realize
that judgment is coming upon,
00:11:01.72\00:11:06.09
you know, here in this world,
00:11:06.13\00:11:07.96
and we see it
happening every day.
00:11:08.00\00:11:09.96
We see it
intensifying, do we not?
00:11:10.00\00:11:12.70
And so again, it's
just simply warning signs
00:11:12.73\00:11:14.84
that we need to bust
loose from the whole home.
00:11:14.87\00:11:19.67
We call ourselves a Christian
00:11:19.71\00:11:21.04
or profess to be
00:11:21.08\00:11:22.41
and really set
ourselves on fire,
00:11:22.44\00:11:24.41
where it will get the attention
00:11:24.45\00:11:26.25
as well by the Holy
Spirit living inside of us.
00:11:26.28\00:11:29.98
These last day applications...
00:11:30.02\00:11:31.82
If you do, just
jot down Zephaniah 1:7,
00:11:31.85\00:11:36.16
because you see
the application goes
00:11:36.19\00:11:38.29
from Zephaniah's day here,
00:11:38.33\00:11:40.43
referring to
Babylon and the invasion
00:11:40.46\00:11:42.66
and so on and Judah,
00:11:42.70\00:11:44.07
Zephaniah shows
the coming prophecies
00:11:44.10\00:11:47.04
and things that will
happen just before Jesus come.
00:11:47.07\00:11:50.47
The judgments that
fall upon the wicked
00:11:50.51\00:11:53.64
before the coming of Christ.
00:11:53.68\00:11:55.01
And Prophets of Kings 389,
00:11:55.04\00:11:56.51
you read that it will
really make a lot of sense.
00:11:56.54\00:11:59.75
God is still
speaking to His children.
00:11:59.78\00:12:03.18
I found a couple of
lines I thought was interesting
00:12:03.22\00:12:05.29
I like to just share with you.
00:12:05.32\00:12:07.59
Testimonies to Ministers
437 makes this comment.
00:12:07.62\00:12:10.66
Now notice this,
just think about it.
00:12:10.69\00:12:13.26
Let it soak in.
00:12:13.29\00:12:14.63
It may not be a shocking
thing to you but notice,
00:12:14.66\00:12:18.97
sinners will be
condemned in the judgment.
00:12:19.00\00:12:23.67
Sinners will what?
00:12:23.71\00:12:25.31
Be condemned in that judgment,
00:12:25.34\00:12:27.98
notice this,
because they rejected light.
00:12:28.01\00:12:33.42
Isn't that interesting?
00:12:33.45\00:12:34.78
We make it
little more complicated
00:12:34.82\00:12:36.35
than that many times
00:12:36.38\00:12:37.72
because we didn't do,
00:12:37.75\00:12:39.09
we didn't get,
weren't the part of...
00:12:39.12\00:12:41.36
It's because we rejected light
00:12:41.39\00:12:44.46
because
sometimes we look at light
00:12:44.49\00:12:46.09
and we don't like what we
see because light reveals things
00:12:46.13\00:12:50.43
I don't want to
see in my own life.
00:12:50.47\00:12:52.33
But I need that light
and I thank God for that.
00:12:52.37\00:12:55.90
This Final
Shaking is the subject
00:12:55.94\00:12:58.97
we're talking
about, today's subject.
00:12:59.01\00:13:01.01
And we just ask
simple questions again,
00:13:01.04\00:13:02.78
what causes the shaking?
00:13:02.81\00:13:04.15
Most Adventists,
if we study the Word
00:13:04.18\00:13:06.92
you'll understand
what causes the shaking.
00:13:06.95\00:13:09.15
And I put it simple
here, put a little star by it.
00:13:09.18\00:13:11.89
It's false theories
accepted into the church
00:13:11.92\00:13:15.39
and being taught
by church members.
00:13:15.42\00:13:19.09
The shaking is caused by what?
00:13:19.13\00:13:21.36
By false theories
coming into the church.
00:13:21.40\00:13:24.03
That's why we as a
people have to stand against
00:13:24.07\00:13:27.34
those false theories.
00:13:27.37\00:13:28.77
If we see something
coming in that might lead us
00:13:28.80\00:13:31.04
in the wrong path,
00:13:31.07\00:13:32.41
we need to, right,
00:13:32.44\00:13:33.78
sound the alarm
and blow the trumpet.
00:13:33.81\00:13:35.61
Yeah, in Zion,
show my people know
00:13:35.64\00:13:37.88
what the Bible says here.
00:13:37.91\00:13:39.25
We're talking about
God's last day people here.
00:13:39.28\00:13:42.32
Remember
Zephaniah was talking about
00:13:42.35\00:13:43.99
the people that the
message fell on deaf ears.
00:13:44.02\00:13:47.49
Spirit of Prophecy brings
out some time here and said,
00:13:47.52\00:13:49.89
"Well, basically
the angels could come
00:13:49.92\00:13:52.06
and give the message.
00:13:52.09\00:13:53.43
But if it falls on deaf ears..."
00:13:53.46\00:13:55.03
She even talks about
00:13:55.06\00:13:56.40
even if angels came and gave it,
00:13:56.43\00:13:57.77
they still wouldn't hear.
00:13:57.80\00:13:59.13
They still wouldn't change
00:13:59.17\00:14:00.70
because they want
their own little way.
00:14:00.74\00:14:03.51
They like their own little life.
00:14:03.54\00:14:05.11
And I'm trying to
appeal to you today
00:14:05.14\00:14:06.64
to realize your own little life.
00:14:06.68\00:14:08.24
If you really love it
00:14:08.28\00:14:09.61
and you think you're
going to last forever here,
00:14:09.64\00:14:10.98
you need to think
of the issue again.
00:14:11.01\00:14:13.28
Things are not
going to remain the same.
00:14:13.31\00:14:14.98
They don't remain the same.
00:14:15.02\00:14:17.42
There's a better place.
00:14:17.45\00:14:19.19
God has a good promise for us,
00:14:19.22\00:14:20.69
but we need to follow
what He has said in His Word
00:14:20.72\00:14:23.86
that so false
theories are coming in.
00:14:23.89\00:14:26.26
And you know,
they're on top of us.
00:14:26.29\00:14:28.66
They're all around us.
00:14:28.70\00:14:30.03
They're all over the place,
00:14:30.07\00:14:31.40
and most of us
have lived long enough
00:14:31.43\00:14:32.83
that we see a
lot of these things
00:14:32.87\00:14:34.20
and after a
while we just can't...
00:14:34.24\00:14:35.57
We may mention to
somebody and they go, "Oh..."
00:14:35.60\00:14:37.74
a little bit
indifferent about it.
00:14:37.77\00:14:39.11
Well, but in person
we become indifferent.
00:14:39.14\00:14:42.21
Rather than what does
God teaching in His Word,
00:14:42.24\00:14:45.08
and then does He expect us
00:14:45.11\00:14:47.18
the follow up by His
grace and His strength?
00:14:47.22\00:14:49.98
'Cause remember, when
we rise up against truth,
00:14:50.02\00:14:52.65
it causes a
shaking in the church
00:14:52.69\00:14:55.39
because God's going to have,
00:14:55.42\00:14:57.19
I believe with my whole heart,
00:14:57.23\00:14:58.69
God's going to have
people in His last day movement
00:14:58.73\00:15:01.96
that will
understand what truth is
00:15:02.00\00:15:03.90
and they're willing to stand,
00:15:03.93\00:15:05.27
they're willing to
die for that truth.
00:15:05.30\00:15:07.47
And that's where we
all have to come from.
00:15:07.50\00:15:09.14
We have to be willing to die...
00:15:09.17\00:15:10.51
In other words, well,
we're a little bit of ashamed.
00:15:10.54\00:15:11.87
We don't want
people to know that
00:15:11.91\00:15:13.24
we keep the Seventh-day Sabbath.
00:15:13.27\00:15:14.61
We don't want
people to know that
00:15:14.64\00:15:15.98
we're really Christians.
00:15:16.01\00:15:17.35
Really? Well, maybe you're not.
00:15:17.38\00:15:18.71
Maybe I'm not if I'm ashamed
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
00:15:18.75\00:15:21.28
and then the judgment Christ,
00:15:21.32\00:15:22.75
I'd say this way,
He'll be ashamed of us.
00:15:22.78\00:15:24.85
We don't want that.
00:15:24.89\00:15:27.86
When the straight
testimony is given,
00:15:27.89\00:15:30.09
and now I talk
about just simple.
00:15:30.13\00:15:31.69
When the truth
is presented, right,
00:15:31.73\00:15:34.06
straight testimony, to
the especially the Laodicea.
00:15:34.10\00:15:38.97
And I'm going to read
a few things in a moment
00:15:39.00\00:15:40.44
that we have to
realize most of the time
00:15:40.47\00:15:42.34
we don't want to hear
that we are kind of in the...
00:15:42.37\00:15:45.24
We know it's a
time of the judgment,
00:15:45.27\00:15:46.78
but we also
notice the lukewarmness
00:15:46.81\00:15:48.48
of the church.
00:15:48.51\00:15:50.71
I mean, I like to
have ground group of people
00:15:50.75\00:15:52.61
that's hot.
00:15:52.65\00:15:53.98
They're on fire for Jesus.
00:15:54.02\00:15:56.38
They're not worried about
00:15:56.42\00:15:57.75
what all is
happening here and over there
00:15:57.79\00:15:59.19
and gossip and this and that.
00:15:59.22\00:16:00.56
They're interested in
getting the message out
00:16:00.59\00:16:03.19
to a lost and dying world.
00:16:03.22\00:16:05.99
This lukewarm, this message,
among God's last day people,
00:16:06.03\00:16:11.83
it causes a shaking.
00:16:11.87\00:16:13.34
Remember, in the shaking means
there's going to be division.
00:16:13.37\00:16:17.21
So remember, if
false air is in the church,
00:16:17.24\00:16:21.14
and a group stand
and say, "You know what?
00:16:21.18\00:16:22.71
We don't go along with
that because the Bible says no."
00:16:22.74\00:16:26.45
All of a sudden you get a
group that are mad at you.
00:16:26.48\00:16:28.88
And then when they
get a little aggravated
00:16:28.92\00:16:30.42
and mad, they want to
try to win as many people
00:16:30.45\00:16:33.15
and put them on their side
00:16:33.19\00:16:34.72
and we're going to leave
00:16:34.76\00:16:36.09
or going to take
all these with us.
00:16:36.12\00:16:39.79
And I've to be
careful here if I'll say
00:16:39.83\00:16:41.30
things that people
might misunderstand.
00:16:41.33\00:16:44.13
If you're not
willing and I'm not willing
00:16:44.17\00:16:47.30
to accept what God
says in His Word as truth,
00:16:47.34\00:16:51.14
then it might be better
00:16:51.17\00:16:52.51
that we go somewhere else.
00:16:52.54\00:16:54.98
Think about it
because if you're not,
00:16:55.01\00:16:57.25
you're accepting the
Gospel of Jesus Christ
00:16:57.28\00:16:59.41
or the enemy's message.
00:16:59.45\00:17:01.02
And those two don't mix
00:17:01.05\00:17:02.78
and there's always
going to be division
00:17:02.82\00:17:04.75
and new members,
different people and thinking
00:17:04.79\00:17:06.69
and maybe they're
still on the milk,
00:17:06.72\00:17:08.06
they become confused
00:17:08.09\00:17:09.42
and they don't
know what to believe.
00:17:09.46\00:17:11.13
We need to be together,
division, separation occurs.
00:17:11.16\00:17:15.50
But at the same time,
notice during this division,
00:17:15.53\00:17:18.80
during this separation
caused by error in the church,
00:17:18.83\00:17:23.07
there's a
purification process going on,
00:17:23.10\00:17:26.24
purification process,
through all of this right here.
00:17:26.27\00:17:29.88
Eight Testimonies
297 says this, notice,
00:17:29.91\00:17:33.05
"Let none seek to tear away
the foundation of our faith."
00:17:33.08\00:17:36.99
See there's
people that come in...
00:17:37.02\00:17:39.05
Can I use the word deadly?
00:17:39.09\00:17:40.62
I'm not sure what it means.
00:17:40.66\00:17:41.99
Terry, maybe you can help me.
00:17:42.02\00:17:44.43
Maybe not
understanding the message,
00:17:44.46\00:17:46.39
maybe not been
there a long time.
00:17:46.43\00:17:48.30
They've not been
there and they're looking
00:17:48.33\00:17:49.70
and they try to tear
down not meaning to even,
00:17:49.73\00:17:52.53
the foundation of the
faith of the Advent movement.
00:17:52.57\00:17:57.24
And the truths that have been
established on the Word of God
00:17:57.27\00:18:00.14
and then the lesser
light showing us right,
00:18:00.18\00:18:02.11
leading us to the greater light
00:18:02.14\00:18:03.68
that we've established
at two different ways.
00:18:03.71\00:18:06.41
That we know that is truth,
they may not realize that,
00:18:06.45\00:18:08.98
but they tried to tear it apart.
00:18:09.02\00:18:10.99
They tried to tear
away the foundation of that
00:18:11.02\00:18:13.02
which we know
00:18:13.05\00:18:14.39
that was set up
from about 50 years
00:18:14.42\00:18:16.32
of teaching that went on
00:18:16.36\00:18:18.03
that we learned these truths.
00:18:18.06\00:18:20.76
And then they come in
and try to chisel away,
00:18:20.80\00:18:22.60
maybe not mean to
00:18:22.63\00:18:23.97
but God's people
who must stand up
00:18:24.00\00:18:25.43
at that time.
00:18:25.47\00:18:27.10
Rather and say,
"Well, we want them here
00:18:27.14\00:18:29.27
or we want this here,
00:18:29.30\00:18:30.64
you know, we want people
00:18:30.67\00:18:32.37
who want to know
what truth is, right?"
00:18:32.41\00:18:34.41
That's what you want.
00:18:34.44\00:18:35.78
That's the ones
that are going to heaven.
00:18:35.81\00:18:37.15
That's the one
that's going to win souls
00:18:37.18\00:18:38.68
that you love the truth.
00:18:38.71\00:18:40.32
There's something about it
00:18:40.35\00:18:42.18
that just draws
you closer to Jesus.
00:18:42.22\00:18:44.92
But many people
are chiseling away
00:18:44.95\00:18:46.92
at those truths
that took 50 years
00:18:46.96\00:18:48.92
of laying the foundation for.
00:18:48.96\00:18:51.83
And then it goes on,
the article says right here,
00:18:51.86\00:18:53.96
"We need to hear more about
00:18:54.00\00:18:55.66
the straight
testimony born in years past."
00:18:55.70\00:19:01.00
Always we say in
Adventists right there,
00:19:01.04\00:19:03.27
"If you want to
know what truth is,
00:19:03.30\00:19:04.64
go back to the beginning."
00:19:04.67\00:19:07.04
How many times we
all say it, right?
00:19:07.08\00:19:08.64
Health message,
no matter what it is.
00:19:08.68\00:19:10.41
Let's go back to the beginning.
00:19:10.45\00:19:11.91
How did God set it up?
00:19:11.95\00:19:14.32
That's the way that...
00:19:14.35\00:19:15.68
That's the right way.
00:19:15.72\00:19:17.05
It will never change.
00:19:17.09\00:19:18.42
When somebody
tries to present to me
00:19:18.45\00:19:19.79
something different
than the way it was set up,
00:19:19.82\00:19:21.56
all of a sudden, my ears
began to tingle a little bit.
00:19:21.59\00:19:25.16
Don't yours when you hear error,
00:19:25.19\00:19:26.66
it makes your ears tingle.
00:19:26.70\00:19:29.10
And sometime it rouse you up...
00:19:29.13\00:19:31.03
Okay.
00:19:31.07\00:19:33.07
My uncle used to say it
was righteous indignation
00:19:33.10\00:19:38.07
because God is being hurt,
people are being led astray.
00:19:38.11\00:19:42.41
It should have caused
a little emotion in us
00:19:42.44\00:19:44.28
to go back to the Word of God,
00:19:44.31\00:19:45.91
examine these things.
00:19:45.95\00:19:47.45
May I just mention a few
00:19:47.48\00:19:49.08
and I'm talking
about this is just a few.
00:19:49.12\00:19:50.75
You could just go on
and on in depth where we,
00:19:50.79\00:19:54.02
were I as a Christian failing.
00:19:54.06\00:19:56.86
Everybody can
look at their own life
00:19:56.89\00:19:58.23
and look in your own mirror
00:19:58.26\00:19:59.59
because we're looking
at the straight testimony
00:19:59.63\00:20:01.53
must be revived.
00:20:01.56\00:20:03.50
Yeah.
00:20:03.53\00:20:04.87
Who's the true witness
before we read some more?
00:20:04.90\00:20:07.07
The true witness to
the Laodicean must be what?
00:20:07.10\00:20:09.27
Must be the Holy
Spirit, right, Jesus.
00:20:09.30\00:20:11.07
He's the true witness.
00:20:11.11\00:20:12.57
He gives a message
to the Laodicea Church,
00:20:12.61\00:20:14.71
which has application to
us, we'll read that in a moment,
00:20:14.74\00:20:17.68
so that we might be
changed, so we might be ready.
00:20:17.71\00:20:20.58
That message is given
to a backslidden church.
00:20:20.62\00:20:23.79
Oh, we don't want to hear that.
00:20:23.82\00:20:25.82
And people begin to reject it
as soon as they hear that tone,
00:20:25.85\00:20:30.39
those words.
00:20:30.43\00:20:31.96
But you know we read them
in the Spirit of Prophecy.
00:20:31.99\00:20:34.73
Just a few little things
straight testimony or truth
00:20:34.76\00:20:37.80
that causes the shaking,
00:20:37.83\00:20:41.17
the seventh day Sabbath.
00:20:41.20\00:20:44.54
Man, that causes some shaking.
00:20:44.57\00:20:47.61
You know, as one
man mentioned here.
00:20:47.64\00:20:49.18
I had a childhood friend.
00:20:49.21\00:20:51.01
We were born and
raised in our late 60s now.
00:20:51.05\00:20:54.52
"We never had a word.
00:20:54.55\00:20:56.15
We're always closer.
00:20:56.18\00:20:57.52
He's closer than my
own brother," he said,
00:20:57.55\00:20:59.69
"We had such
love for one another."
00:20:59.72\00:21:02.16
And when I
started going to church
00:21:02.19\00:21:03.99
on the seventh day Sabbath
00:21:04.03\00:21:05.96
and I mentioned to him
00:21:05.99\00:21:07.33
what I had found in
God's Word, we had words.
00:21:07.36\00:21:11.20
He had words.
00:21:11.23\00:21:12.57
He said things he had never said
00:21:12.60\00:21:14.80
to me before,
00:21:14.84\00:21:16.17
discussion we
had never had before
00:21:16.20\00:21:18.14
but it was because I
have chosen to follow Jesus
00:21:18.17\00:21:21.58
on the day that He says to.
00:21:21.61\00:21:24.31
It causes
separation and division.
00:21:24.35\00:21:26.35
The man was
shocked. He was hurt.
00:21:26.38\00:21:28.95
But you know what?
00:21:28.98\00:21:30.32
I liked what he
come back and said.
00:21:30.35\00:21:31.69
He said, "Do you know what?
00:21:31.72\00:21:33.22
That confirmed
what I was thinking.
00:21:33.25\00:21:35.52
I'm on the right track.
00:21:35.56\00:21:37.56
I'm on the right
track, the division."
00:21:37.59\00:21:39.53
Do you notice that separation?
00:21:39.56\00:21:41.50
Okay, how about
the subject of death?
00:21:41.53\00:21:44.73
That can cause
separation and division.
00:21:44.77\00:21:46.74
How about
hellfire, second coming,
00:21:46.77\00:21:49.60
heavenly
sanctuary, the atonement?
00:21:49.64\00:21:52.51
All of these cause
issues that are going on here.
00:21:52.54\00:21:55.34
How about our health message?
00:21:55.38\00:21:57.31
How about our diet?
00:21:57.35\00:21:59.68
If you start talking about food
and what we take into our body,
00:21:59.71\00:22:02.68
you're going to get
somebody mad at you.
00:22:02.72\00:22:06.76
It's true.
00:22:06.79\00:22:08.42
They say, "All I
know it's not good for me
00:22:08.46\00:22:10.33
but, boy, do I like it.
00:22:10.36\00:22:11.93
Boy, it tastes good.
00:22:11.96\00:22:13.46
Well, if you think
I'm going to give that up,
00:22:13.50\00:22:14.83
you better think again."
00:22:14.86\00:22:16.20
Just go back to
God's Word. Just read that.
00:22:16.23\00:22:18.10
That causes a lot of separation
and division because what?
00:22:18.13\00:22:22.47
Appetite is still an
issue that it was in the garden.
00:22:22.50\00:22:25.27
Isn't that right?
It's still an issue.
00:22:25.31\00:22:27.61
It's one of the
most difficult things.
00:22:27.64\00:22:29.98
How about if you
talk about the Holy Spirit
00:22:30.01\00:22:31.78
in Adventism, especially?
00:22:31.81\00:22:33.28
Oh, you got
division and separation.
00:22:33.31\00:22:35.38
People started going
on one side of the church
00:22:35.42\00:22:36.75
and then on the other
00:22:36.79\00:22:38.12
and pretty soon one group's out.
00:22:38.15\00:22:40.79
Talk about victory over sin.
00:22:40.82\00:22:42.42
Oh my, some people
don't want to hear that.
00:22:42.46\00:22:44.43
"Do the best you can and
you're going to make it,"
00:22:44.46\00:22:46.03
not true.
00:22:46.06\00:22:47.90
How about the dress issue?
00:22:47.93\00:22:50.23
When you start
talking about dress
00:22:50.27\00:22:51.63
and the way we should
be proper men and women...
00:22:51.67\00:22:56.24
I always think a woman
should look like a woman,
00:22:56.27\00:22:57.77
a man should look like a man.
00:22:57.81\00:22:59.14
If I can't tell the
difference between the two,
00:22:59.17\00:23:01.04
somebody is wrong.
00:23:01.08\00:23:04.15
Okay, nobody got that.
00:23:04.18\00:23:06.68
I shouldn't have to
look two or three times
00:23:06.72\00:23:08.35
and try to figure it out.
00:23:08.38\00:23:09.72
I know that's
going to upset somebody
00:23:09.75\00:23:11.32
and stand so be it.
00:23:11.35\00:23:15.86
So be it because
we need to think about
00:23:15.89\00:23:17.23
because God made a
difference in His Word,
00:23:17.26\00:23:19.36
not just my
personal opinion about it.
00:23:19.39\00:23:21.73
He said, "I made them this way."
00:23:21.76\00:23:26.47
It should not be
confusing at all,
00:23:26.50\00:23:28.30
but man has made it confusing.
00:23:28.34\00:23:31.94
How about when we talk
about in the church, jewelry?
00:23:31.97\00:23:35.48
Oh, we don't want to touch that
00:23:35.51\00:23:37.18
because people in
high places are wearing it.
00:23:37.21\00:23:39.78
So what?
00:23:39.81\00:23:41.88
God said, "No
gold and no silver."
00:23:41.92\00:23:43.59
It's exactly what He meant.
00:23:43.62\00:23:44.95
Just to put it real
simple and plain and out there.
00:23:44.99\00:23:46.65
That's what God says.
00:23:46.69\00:23:48.49
Now who...
00:23:48.52\00:23:49.86
I almost said,
"Who in the world."
00:23:49.89\00:23:51.23
Can I say that?
00:23:51.26\00:23:52.59
Who in the world
00:23:52.63\00:23:53.96
when we just if we
really read scripture,
00:23:54.00\00:23:56.36
when He says,
"No gold, no silver,"
00:23:56.40\00:23:59.17
and then we say, "Yeah,
but He didn't mean this."
00:23:59.20\00:24:03.00
There's no adding,
there's no subtracting to it.
00:24:03.04\00:24:05.01
I mean really,
if you think about
00:24:05.04\00:24:06.37
that takes audacity.
00:24:06.41\00:24:08.98
It means that we've
taken Him off of the throne
00:24:09.01\00:24:10.98
and we put ourselves on there
00:24:11.01\00:24:12.35
and we made an exception for it.
00:24:12.38\00:24:14.45
No means no.
00:24:14.48\00:24:16.38
I hear that in
society a lot, and it does.
00:24:16.42\00:24:21.72
How about we talk
about the gift of prophecy?
00:24:21.76\00:24:23.53
I don't want to take
too much time on this
00:24:23.56\00:24:24.89
but I want you to
think about gift of prophecy,
00:24:24.93\00:24:26.86
Spirit of
Prophecy in the church.
00:24:26.90\00:24:28.23
Oh, it causes division.
00:24:28.26\00:24:29.60
"Well, we like
what you teach here,
00:24:29.63\00:24:30.97
but we don't like
the Spirit of Prophecy."
00:24:31.00\00:24:32.33
Why don't you?
00:24:32.37\00:24:34.54
Most generally is
because you haven't read it,
00:24:34.57\00:24:36.47
that's why you say that.
00:24:36.50\00:24:39.21
I've been reading
it for umpteen years
00:24:39.24\00:24:41.28
and haven't found anything
00:24:41.31\00:24:42.64
that disagrees
with the Word of God.
00:24:42.68\00:24:45.05
Is it okay to say that?
00:24:45.08\00:24:46.85
I haven't found
anything that disagrees
00:24:46.88\00:24:48.42
because it would
cause me problems if I did.
00:24:48.45\00:24:51.75
I'd have to go back and
say, "Wait a minute here.
00:24:51.79\00:24:54.59
God has a prophet
there always tell the truth."
00:24:54.62\00:24:57.53
If the prophet is
led by the Holy Spirit,
00:24:57.56\00:24:59.36
the Holy Spirit
always tells the truth.
00:24:59.39\00:25:01.40
The Holy Spirit always tells
the truth in the Word of God
00:25:01.43\00:25:03.47
so they must be
gelling together.
00:25:03.50\00:25:06.10
How about when
we even confession,
00:25:06.13\00:25:08.30
even repentance?
00:25:08.34\00:25:09.67
There's division that comes.
00:25:09.70\00:25:11.31
Things that need
to be taken care of,
00:25:11.34\00:25:12.84
people say, "Oh,
don't worry about all that."
00:25:12.87\00:25:14.94
If you talk about
the mark of the beast,
00:25:14.98\00:25:16.54
third angel's message,
man, we need to know that
00:25:16.58\00:25:18.68
there's
disagreement in the church.
00:25:18.71\00:25:20.45
"Keep quiet on
it. Don't bring it up.
00:25:20.48\00:25:22.22
You're going to
make people mad at you."
00:25:22.25\00:25:24.02
Listen, if you think
00:25:24.05\00:25:25.39
you're going to
get out of this world
00:25:25.42\00:25:26.76
without people being mad at you
00:25:26.79\00:25:28.12
and upsetting or
maybe hating you,
00:25:28.16\00:25:29.49
you need to think again.
00:25:29.52\00:25:31.09
Jesus said, "They
did all that to Me.
00:25:31.13\00:25:32.86
They did to Me first
00:25:32.89\00:25:34.23
and then they're
going to do it to you."
00:25:34.26\00:25:35.60
The test is going to come
00:25:35.63\00:25:36.97
if you want to
repopulate heaven.
00:25:37.00\00:25:38.33
Lord, how am I
going to handle that?
00:25:38.37\00:25:40.50
How am I going to handle tithe?
00:25:40.54\00:25:41.97
Man, when you
read the statistics
00:25:42.00\00:25:43.64
on tithing, right...
00:25:43.67\00:25:45.77
In an Adventist
Church, there's only about 50%
00:25:45.81\00:25:48.74
that pay faithful true tithe.
00:25:48.78\00:25:50.91
The other 50% are
thieves and robbers
00:25:50.95\00:25:56.02
and you'll be outside the walls.
00:25:56.05\00:25:57.39
Isn't that what the Bible said?
00:25:57.42\00:25:58.82
That's what it says.
00:25:58.85\00:26:00.19
But why is it
statistics come in to say,
00:26:00.22\00:26:02.59
"We know better?"
00:26:02.62\00:26:04.56
Somebody else may not.
00:26:04.59\00:26:05.93
I'm not trying to
harp, I'm just trying to say
00:26:05.96\00:26:07.30
these things cause
division and separation.
00:26:07.33\00:26:09.56
And sometimes if nothing
is ever said on the issue,
00:26:09.60\00:26:12.63
people go keep
doing the same thing like,
00:26:12.67\00:26:14.54
"It's going to be all right.
00:26:14.57\00:26:15.90
I'm going to make it to heaven."
00:26:15.94\00:26:17.27
And come into
judgment, they're going to say,
00:26:17.31\00:26:18.81
"You guys never
talked about that, no."
00:26:18.84\00:26:23.01
Nature of Christ, Law of God,
00:26:23.04\00:26:24.85
the Millennium, the
list could go on and on.
00:26:24.88\00:26:26.82
Again, we talked about
things that really get it,
00:26:26.85\00:26:28.78
you know, the
dress and again jewelry,
00:26:28.82\00:26:31.52
and health message and
what we take into our body.
00:26:31.55\00:26:34.06
This is just...
00:26:34.09\00:26:35.42
There's constant things
there if we're not careful,
00:26:35.46\00:26:37.46
and we don't love Jesus.
00:26:37.49\00:26:38.83
What I want to
do is I want to know
00:26:38.86\00:26:40.20
what He teaches about dress.
00:26:40.23\00:26:41.60
I want to know what
He teaches about health,
00:26:41.63\00:26:43.77
then I can make
by the grace of God
00:26:43.80\00:26:45.67
the right choice
and the right decision,
00:26:45.70\00:26:47.87
and you can too.
00:26:47.90\00:26:49.24
But a lot of times,
00:26:49.27\00:26:50.61
pastors will not
bring up certain things
00:26:50.64\00:26:52.01
that will cause
division in the church.
00:26:52.04\00:26:54.68
I'm looking at not division,
00:26:54.71\00:26:56.04
I'm looking at
what is truth on this.
00:26:56.08\00:26:58.48
And how is it
that we can dismiss
00:26:58.51\00:26:59.98
some of this
other stuff and say,
00:27:00.02\00:27:01.35
"It's not really important,
00:27:01.38\00:27:02.72
but this is important?"
00:27:02.75\00:27:04.09
Are we going to pick and choose?
00:27:04.12\00:27:05.89
No, we can't do
that but people do it
00:27:05.92\00:27:08.56
because of their lifestyle.
00:27:08.59\00:27:10.89
Man, we can't do
that by the grace of God.
00:27:10.93\00:27:12.99
There's final
shaking of God's Church.
00:27:13.03\00:27:16.20
We're going to find out
00:27:16.23\00:27:18.30
who we really are
00:27:18.33\00:27:20.27
as the shaking commences.
00:27:20.30\00:27:22.04
I'm finding out myself
more and more every day.
00:27:22.07\00:27:24.77
I don't know about you.
00:27:24.81\00:27:26.14
The things that are happening,
00:27:26.17\00:27:28.38
the things that are taking place
00:27:28.41\00:27:29.78
in this world is like
00:27:29.81\00:27:31.18
it can't possibly be.
00:27:31.21\00:27:33.45
People can't be that,
anyway, out of their mind.
00:27:33.48\00:27:37.92
They just can't be
not think that way at all.
00:27:37.95\00:27:42.56
Regardless of
how many bad choices
00:27:42.59\00:27:44.66
that maybe we
have made in our life.
00:27:44.69\00:27:47.63
We can't face all of the things
that going on in the world,
00:27:47.66\00:27:50.40
on our feelings
and our emotions.
00:27:50.43\00:27:52.47
We need to put those
aside, go to the Word of God,
00:27:52.50\00:27:54.87
begin to build, stay connected.
00:27:54.90\00:27:57.37
And if we're
staying connected to Him
00:27:57.41\00:27:58.74
again,
regardless of our past life.
00:27:58.77\00:28:01.14
If we stay, get
connected to Him,
00:28:01.18\00:28:02.81
stay connected to Him,
00:28:02.84\00:28:05.18
you know, then we realize
00:28:05.21\00:28:08.18
that heaven can be our home.
00:28:08.22\00:28:11.82
That we're never
too broken to be healed.
00:28:11.85\00:28:15.72
No one is too broken
00:28:15.76\00:28:17.33
that God can't put
you back together again.
00:28:17.36\00:28:19.53
I love that.
00:28:19.56\00:28:22.30
And when I
mentioned there's no sin
00:28:22.33\00:28:23.70
that God cannot forgive,
00:28:23.73\00:28:25.17
but sometime as deacons
00:28:25.20\00:28:26.53
and elders and
pastors of the church,
00:28:26.57\00:28:27.90
we have deciphered
that there are certain sins
00:28:27.94\00:28:30.31
that can't be forgiven.
00:28:30.34\00:28:33.78
We serve that kind of God like,
"Well, this is just too big.
00:28:33.81\00:28:35.84
I can't handle that.
00:28:35.88\00:28:37.21
I don't have enough
grace to cover all of that."
00:28:37.25\00:28:38.98
No, He reached the heart.
00:28:39.01\00:28:41.48
He's shown us in
His Word about liars,
00:28:41.52\00:28:44.85
you know, the leaders of...
00:28:44.89\00:28:46.62
things that they did.
00:28:46.65\00:28:47.99
They murdered and kill
people but they confessed
00:28:48.02\00:28:49.89
and they came back to Him.
00:28:49.92\00:28:51.26
And God is gracious
00:28:51.29\00:28:52.63
and kind to bring
us back into the fold.
00:28:52.66\00:28:54.43
I encourage you
not to give up today.
00:28:54.46\00:28:56.90
Hold on to Christ.
00:28:56.93\00:28:58.60
Bible said, "Cast
your care on Him," why?
00:28:58.63\00:29:03.57
"For He cares for you."
00:29:03.61\00:29:06.88
1 Peter 5:7, "Cast
your cares on Him."
00:29:06.91\00:29:10.31
If anyone has any
care today, I encourage you
00:29:10.35\00:29:12.88
don't be casting
on everybody else.
00:29:12.91\00:29:15.18
It's okay to ask
for prayer and so on,
00:29:15.22\00:29:17.02
but I'm talking
about go to your Creator.
00:29:17.05\00:29:19.35
Go to your Maker.
00:29:19.39\00:29:20.72
Get on your knees
and you talk to Him.
00:29:20.76\00:29:22.59
Let Him do the work.
00:29:22.62\00:29:24.03
Let Him fight
your battle for you.
00:29:24.06\00:29:26.46
It's too big for you.
00:29:26.49\00:29:27.93
You can't fight
all these things.
00:29:27.96\00:29:29.30
I can't fight them.
00:29:29.33\00:29:30.70
And when I get relief
is when I release them
00:29:30.73\00:29:33.10
and give them to
Jesus because He says,
00:29:33.13\00:29:35.87
"I draw nigh to God and
He will draw nigh to" what?
00:29:35.90\00:29:39.11
"Draw nigh to Him and
He will draw nigh to you."
00:29:39.14\00:29:42.28
I need that in James 4:8.
00:29:42.31\00:29:46.18
See, instead of getting away
from Him and making excuses,
00:29:46.21\00:29:50.29
we need to draw nigh to Him.
00:29:50.32\00:29:53.02
When things are
going haywire in our life,
00:29:53.05\00:29:55.02
I'm still looking up and I say,
00:29:55.06\00:29:56.66
"I know He knows what's best."
00:29:56.69\00:29:58.86
I even say some times, "Lord,
you know this is not my plan."
00:29:58.89\00:30:02.70
He'd say, "Yeah, Kenny,
00:30:02.73\00:30:04.07
but you don't know
plans I've got for you."
00:30:04.10\00:30:06.43
You don't know the
plans He's got for you.
00:30:06.47\00:30:08.10
Sometime it's over here
00:30:08.14\00:30:09.54
and then it comes back
to this direction in here.
00:30:09.57\00:30:11.37
God has a plan for you.
00:30:11.41\00:30:13.44
You need to draw nigh to Him.
00:30:13.48\00:30:14.88
This time of the,
00:30:17.95\00:30:19.31
we're talking about the shaking.
00:30:19.35\00:30:21.85
The evil angels
are released in a way
00:30:21.88\00:30:24.65
I think that
we've never seen before.
00:30:24.69\00:30:27.79
They're
surrounding the people of God
00:30:27.82\00:30:30.19
and trying to shut
Jesus out from them.
00:30:30.23\00:30:32.96
Why?
00:30:32.99\00:30:34.33
Through
circumstances, situations,
00:30:34.36\00:30:35.90
it could be in the
home, it could be at work.
00:30:35.93\00:30:38.20
It can be here, it can be there.
00:30:38.23\00:30:40.00
But he doesn't
want you to see Jesus.
00:30:40.04\00:30:42.37
He doesn't want you to
see where your victory is at.
00:30:42.40\00:30:45.57
Shut Jesus out from them,
00:30:45.61\00:30:47.31
if they can't see
Jesus, they'll quit.
00:30:47.34\00:30:49.58
They'll give up.
00:30:49.61\00:30:51.05
Oh, there's mighty shaking.
00:30:51.08\00:30:55.12
We're told that God's
people, you'll see them,
00:30:55.15\00:30:57.89
they're weeping
and they're praying.
00:30:57.92\00:31:00.52
Think how long
has it been since you,
00:31:00.56\00:31:01.99
when you've been
praying, it's you've really...
00:31:02.02\00:31:03.66
your heart just been broken?
00:31:03.69\00:31:05.86
You know, not
just about yourself.
00:31:05.89\00:31:08.13
People can pray about
themselves in their condition
00:31:08.16\00:31:11.00
and you can weep over that.
00:31:11.03\00:31:12.87
But when you're
praying for someone else
00:31:12.90\00:31:15.27
and their need,
00:31:15.30\00:31:16.64
or they turned away from Christ,
00:31:16.67\00:31:18.17
they're walking
somewhere else now
00:31:18.21\00:31:19.91
and you began to pray for them,
00:31:19.94\00:31:21.28
and you began to weep
in their behalf and say,
00:31:21.31\00:31:22.91
"Oh, God..."
00:31:22.94\00:31:24.95
God's last day people
00:31:24.98\00:31:27.32
will be weeping
between the porch
00:31:27.35\00:31:29.25
and the altar, remember?
00:31:29.28\00:31:30.95
Now notice, for
all the abominations
00:31:30.99\00:31:33.52
that are going on in the church,
00:31:33.56\00:31:35.69
and in the world,
00:31:35.72\00:31:37.23
are you still there
with me in the world,
00:31:37.26\00:31:39.96
and they're praying for victory
00:31:40.00\00:31:42.30
over self and over sin.
00:31:42.33\00:31:45.23
Now, think about it.
00:31:45.27\00:31:46.60
When's the last
time you spent some time
00:31:46.63\00:31:48.04
praying about,
00:31:48.07\00:31:49.40
"Lord give me
victory in my life?"
00:31:49.44\00:31:51.17
I know there are
things that I need overcome.
00:31:51.21\00:31:52.84
I know that my
mind needs to be better.
00:31:52.87\00:31:54.74
I know my mind
needs to be stayed on you.
00:31:54.78\00:31:58.98
I know that there's abominations
00:31:59.01\00:32:01.82
that are going on in the church.
00:32:01.85\00:32:03.25
Why is it that
people, just so many times,
00:32:03.28\00:32:05.92
closed their minds and
their eyes and their hearts
00:32:05.95\00:32:08.39
to abominations
that are going on
00:32:08.42\00:32:09.82
right in front of them?
00:32:09.86\00:32:12.06
They don't want to...
00:32:12.09\00:32:13.43
They just say, "Well,
we can't talk that way."
00:32:13.46\00:32:15.20
What do you mean,
you can't talk that way?
00:32:15.23\00:32:17.50
Many people will not
make it to the Kingdom
00:32:17.53\00:32:19.30
because the preacher
didn't have the backbone enough
00:32:19.33\00:32:20.90
to come up and say,
00:32:20.94\00:32:22.27
"This is not right
according to Scripture."
00:32:22.30\00:32:25.24
See, there's
nothing ugly about that.
00:32:25.27\00:32:26.88
That shows me
that somebody cares.
00:32:26.91\00:32:29.24
At least present it.
00:32:29.28\00:32:31.45
At least look at it closely
and say, "Oh, you know what?
00:32:31.48\00:32:34.02
I never thought of
it, maybe, that way."
00:32:34.05\00:32:37.95
We need to be as,
00:32:37.99\00:32:39.32
I think Ezekiel
9 talks about it,
00:32:39.35\00:32:40.92
weeping between the
porch and the altar.
00:32:40.96\00:32:43.19
That means you're
serious about something.
00:32:43.22\00:32:45.56
Some people think
00:32:45.59\00:32:46.93
they just come
and sit in the pew
00:32:46.96\00:32:48.30
and they are going
to make it to heaven.
00:32:48.33\00:32:49.66
Don't, please don't.
00:32:49.70\00:32:51.03
I will always bring that up.
00:32:51.07\00:32:52.40
That's not those who are
going to make it to heaven.
00:32:52.43\00:32:54.30
You've got to have a
heart for servers for God.
00:32:54.34\00:32:57.61
You have to have a
heart for other people.
00:32:57.64\00:32:59.97
You have to have a heart
00:33:00.01\00:33:01.34
to get this
gospel out the world.
00:33:01.38\00:33:03.14
What do you think happens
to those as this shaking time
00:33:07.25\00:33:10.79
that's not pleading with God,
00:33:10.82\00:33:13.29
that's not crying, as it were?
00:33:13.32\00:33:16.49
Because they want
victory in their life,
00:33:16.52\00:33:18.16
they're wanting salvation.
00:33:18.19\00:33:20.66
Let me read this.
00:33:20.70\00:33:22.03
I found this in
One Testimony 182.
00:33:22.06\00:33:24.90
Notice what happened,
the shaking is going on.
00:33:24.93\00:33:28.20
People are being shaken up.
00:33:28.24\00:33:29.57
This happens.
00:33:29.60\00:33:30.94
As soon as that
can is lifted up,
00:33:30.97\00:33:32.31
something else hits them.
00:33:32.34\00:33:33.68
As soon as that's lifted
up, something else hits them.
00:33:33.71\00:33:35.28
It's like you can't
take a breath of air
00:33:35.31\00:33:37.21
and refresh
00:33:37.25\00:33:38.58
that there's not
something hitting you
00:33:38.61\00:33:40.65
and that's
bruising and it's hurting.
00:33:40.68\00:33:44.15
You say, "Oh, man,
what's going to happen?"
00:33:44.19\00:33:48.69
Notice this, the
members of this company
00:33:48.72\00:33:51.86
had lessened.
00:33:51.89\00:33:53.93
God's last day people right,
they're being tested and tried.
00:33:53.96\00:33:57.97
And while they're being tested
and tried, the professed ones,
00:33:58.00\00:34:00.97
all of a sudden
00:34:01.00\00:34:02.34
there's people
going out the door.
00:34:02.37\00:34:04.27
Oh, they're leaving.
Why they're lessened?
00:34:04.31\00:34:06.27
Notice, some had been shaken out
00:34:06.31\00:34:10.18
and left by the way.
00:34:10.21\00:34:12.71
Test and trials and
things that are happening
00:34:12.75\00:34:14.88
or this is what they teach
from the Word of God right here
00:34:14.92\00:34:19.69
and I just don't believe it.
00:34:19.72\00:34:21.86
No, you don't want to believe it
00:34:21.89\00:34:23.22
because you don't
want so order your life.
00:34:23.26\00:34:26.06
If it's truth, we
should say, "Oh, praise God.
00:34:26.09\00:34:28.26
Man, that's going to be dilly,
00:34:28.30\00:34:29.63
I can't do it on my
own but by the help of God,
00:34:29.66\00:34:32.30
the power of the Holy Spirit
00:34:32.33\00:34:33.67
will give me strength
in which to gain victory."
00:34:33.70\00:34:35.10
That's the only
way it happens anyway,
00:34:35.14\00:34:36.71
you know that.
00:34:36.74\00:34:38.91
Notice the
number of the company...
00:34:38.94\00:34:41.01
And we need to
think of ourselves
00:34:41.04\00:34:42.38
as this little
company right here,
00:34:42.41\00:34:44.38
being tested and tried.
00:34:44.41\00:34:45.75
There are some who are
going to go out of the door
00:34:45.78\00:34:47.18
and they're not
going to come back.
00:34:47.22\00:34:49.02
And we can spend our time
00:34:49.05\00:34:50.39
as it were and
try to reach them.
00:34:50.42\00:34:51.95
Yes, be praying for them,
00:34:51.99\00:34:53.46
call and let them
know you're interested.
00:34:53.49\00:34:55.19
But there's
people who are out there
00:34:55.22\00:34:57.13
in the highways and
byways that want to come in
00:34:57.16\00:34:59.19
and somebody
needs to invite them.
00:34:59.23\00:35:02.36
Somebody needs to
be laboring for those
00:35:02.40\00:35:04.30
who have not had
the opportunity to sit
00:35:04.33\00:35:06.80
where truth is being presented.
00:35:06.84\00:35:09.27
We need to make sure we spend...
00:35:09.30\00:35:10.77
We only have so much time.
00:35:10.81\00:35:12.31
Everybody's important, I know.
00:35:12.34\00:35:15.54
Some were left by the
way, that doesn't sound good.
00:35:15.58\00:35:18.88
Notice the ones that
were left by the wayside.
00:35:18.91\00:35:22.12
Now listen, I'm saying
this for a point here...
00:35:22.15\00:35:23.89
How much time
we'll have with it.
00:35:23.92\00:35:25.39
I'm saying to a point
because if you are shaken out,
00:35:25.42\00:35:28.69
if I am shaken out,
00:35:28.72\00:35:30.26
somebody is
going to take my place.
00:35:30.29\00:35:32.33
I want to know who it is.
00:35:32.36\00:35:35.40
Somebody is going to take...
00:35:35.43\00:35:36.97
If you're shaken
away from the message,
00:35:37.00\00:35:39.20
what you understand is truth,
00:35:39.23\00:35:41.04
you're shaken out,
00:35:41.07\00:35:42.40
somebody is going
to take your place.
00:35:42.44\00:35:44.84
It's something to think about.
00:35:44.87\00:35:47.81
Who is it?
00:35:47.84\00:35:49.18
Is it somebody we
know whose going to?
00:35:49.21\00:35:50.85
The ones that are
shaken out are these.
00:35:50.88\00:35:52.61
Now, maybe you're not
and maybe this will help you,
00:35:52.65\00:35:55.32
the careless
and the indifferent.
00:35:55.35\00:35:59.32
Are you careless with
these beautiful truths
00:35:59.35\00:36:01.12
that God has given us?
00:36:01.16\00:36:03.53
Are we careless with the message
00:36:03.56\00:36:05.09
that God has given us
to warn the world with?
00:36:05.13\00:36:07.93
Have we become indifferent?
00:36:07.96\00:36:09.80
Let me tell you, when you're hit
00:36:09.83\00:36:11.17
and banged and
knocked and gossiping,
00:36:11.20\00:36:13.54
sometime you
almost become indifferent.
00:36:13.57\00:36:15.87
Can I say that?
00:36:15.90\00:36:18.61
Because you're adult.
00:36:18.64\00:36:21.24
Can I use the word goofy?
00:36:21.28\00:36:22.61
You're not, kind
of, goofy a little bit.
00:36:22.64\00:36:23.98
One thing after the other,
it is hard to get your balance.
00:36:24.01\00:36:26.08
And finally you say,
00:36:26.11\00:36:27.45
"I just need to
withdraw a little bit
00:36:27.48\00:36:29.15
and let this go for a while."
00:36:29.18\00:36:31.82
It's all right to come
apart and rest for a while.
00:36:31.85\00:36:33.59
It's all right.
00:36:33.62\00:36:34.96
Regroup, come back stronger
00:36:34.99\00:36:36.39
than ever for
the cause of Christ.
00:36:36.42\00:36:40.23
Careless and the indifferent.
00:36:40.26\00:36:43.97
The ones who would not plead
00:36:44.00\00:36:46.27
or perseveringly
stay in the battle.
00:36:46.30\00:36:51.84
They didn't agonize for victory,
00:36:51.87\00:36:53.78
and therefore they
did not receive it.
00:36:53.81\00:36:57.78
If you want heaven to
be your home, it can be.
00:36:57.81\00:37:00.98
It's pretty simple
because Jesus has already what?
00:37:01.02\00:37:03.95
He's prepared...
00:37:03.99\00:37:05.32
Has He not prepared the way?
00:37:05.35\00:37:06.69
Has He not paid the price?
00:37:06.72\00:37:08.06
Has He not left you a will call,
00:37:08.09\00:37:09.42
right ticket at
the will call window?
00:37:09.46\00:37:11.09
He says, "All you got to
do is come and pick it up."
00:37:11.13\00:37:14.16
See I like that,
just come and pick it up.
00:37:14.20\00:37:17.93
It's paid for.
00:37:17.97\00:37:19.90
But some of us are
too lazy to pick it up.
00:37:19.93\00:37:22.00
We're afraid of
what might happen.
00:37:22.04\00:37:24.07
If you ask somebody,
00:37:24.11\00:37:25.44
"Do you want to
serve Jesus Christ?"
00:37:25.47\00:37:26.81
"Oh, I don't know
if I do or not now.
00:37:26.84\00:37:28.18
Hey, wait."
00:37:28.21\00:37:29.64
You can't go wrong?
00:37:29.68\00:37:31.91
We need Christ.
00:37:31.95\00:37:33.48
We need Him on our side.
00:37:33.52\00:37:36.65
This last day church,
00:37:36.69\00:37:38.95
Revelation
3:15-17, is the lukewarm.
00:37:38.99\00:37:41.32
I wish we had time
we'd read all of that.
00:37:41.36\00:37:43.66
Revelation 3:15,
16 and 17 talks about
00:37:43.69\00:37:47.66
description here of a lukewarm
00:37:47.70\00:37:52.53
that feel good about themselves,
00:37:52.57\00:37:55.30
the need of nothing.
00:37:55.34\00:37:57.47
See, I just look and say,
"Surely that doesn't mean us."
00:37:57.51\00:38:02.88
Surely that doesn't mean you.
00:38:02.91\00:38:04.25
Surely that doesn't mean me
00:38:04.28\00:38:05.61
but somehow it's
pointing fingers,
00:38:05.65\00:38:08.45
and I need to
look at it closely.
00:38:08.48\00:38:10.49
I feel good.
00:38:10.52\00:38:13.62
Is there any direct applications
00:38:13.66\00:38:16.19
to this group that
we need to look at?
00:38:16.22\00:38:18.53
And again, it's only to, what,
00:38:18.56\00:38:19.89
so that we might change our way.
00:38:19.93\00:38:21.56
Is there any
hope for this group?
00:38:21.60\00:38:24.73
I hope somebody
says yes, there is.
00:38:24.77\00:38:28.24
But there has to be some changes
00:38:28.27\00:38:29.60
that are made.
00:38:29.64\00:38:31.31
Now remember,
let's make it plain.
00:38:31.34\00:38:33.04
That we'll simply what?
00:38:33.07\00:38:34.41
We're not going to
try to cover up anything.
00:38:34.44\00:38:36.34
We're not going to try to
say, "Things have changed now.
00:38:36.38\00:38:39.51
We live in a
different time period.
00:38:39.55\00:38:41.58
God's not the
same as He was before."
00:38:41.62\00:38:43.42
Well, that's not true. He is.
00:38:43.45\00:38:45.85
God wants us to face the facts.
00:38:45.89\00:38:49.32
He wants us to come clean.
00:38:49.36\00:38:51.76
What? Out of our condition.
00:38:51.79\00:38:55.00
When you go to the doctor,
you know somebody comes back.
00:38:55.03\00:38:57.50
The first thing I'll
say, "What's your condition?"
00:38:57.53\00:39:01.37
How they're
like, your condition.
00:39:01.40\00:39:06.27
You want to know
what it is about them,
00:39:06.31\00:39:08.21
their condition.
00:39:08.24\00:39:09.58
Are they well?
00:39:09.61\00:39:10.95
Is it something
that maybe won't heal?
00:39:10.98\00:39:12.88
What is their condition?
00:39:12.91\00:39:14.55
God wants us to
look at our condition
00:39:14.58\00:39:19.55
and so our
condition need to be changed.
00:39:19.59\00:39:21.76
Let me read some quick
articles to you right quick
00:39:21.79\00:39:23.63
to let you
understand for sure...
00:39:23.66\00:39:25.76
Because there's
a group of people
00:39:25.79\00:39:27.13
over the years,
00:39:27.16\00:39:28.50
they thought
with maybe you and me
00:39:28.53\00:39:30.13
over the years and they say,
00:39:30.17\00:39:31.50
"Well, we can't use
this Laodicea Church
00:39:31.53\00:39:34.44
or the lukewarm church
00:39:34.47\00:39:35.80
and say it has
direct application to us.
00:39:35.84\00:39:37.67
We can't really do that."
00:39:37.71\00:39:39.04
Review and Herald
12-15-1904, this was written.
00:39:39.07\00:39:42.08
Notice what it said,
00:39:42.11\00:39:43.45
"The message to
the Laodicea Church
00:39:43.48\00:39:45.25
reveals our
condition as a people."
00:39:45.28\00:39:48.48
Pretty plain, what does it do?
00:39:48.52\00:39:51.12
It reveals our
condition as a people.
00:39:51.15\00:39:54.36
That pretty well
hits it right at target,
00:39:54.39\00:39:57.63
Manuscript 26, 1905.
00:39:57.66\00:40:00.50
Now notice this, if
you are an idler today,
00:40:00.53\00:40:04.63
it's time to stop it.
00:40:04.67\00:40:07.27
"To the idlers in
the Lord's vineyard,
00:40:07.30\00:40:10.11
the Laodicean message is sent."
00:40:10.14\00:40:13.98
If we're idlers,
that means do nothings.
00:40:14.01\00:40:18.08
That means talkers.
00:40:18.11\00:40:20.85
That means
blowing a lot of hot air.
00:40:20.88\00:40:22.22
Is somebody still with me?
00:40:22.25\00:40:23.69
I need to put some
more stuff out here.
00:40:23.72\00:40:25.95
The idlers, one who
just takes up a seat,
00:40:25.99\00:40:29.62
the chair
00:40:29.66\00:40:31.06
and when anything is to be done,
00:40:31.09\00:40:33.03
you can't be found.
00:40:33.06\00:40:35.63
Well, idlers in
the Lord's vineyard.
00:40:35.66\00:40:39.37
Why?
00:40:39.40\00:40:40.74
Because He's given
us a job and work to do.
00:40:40.77\00:40:42.87
Review and Herald 3-11-1902.
00:40:42.90\00:40:45.61
Notice how it
tightens in here now.
00:40:45.64\00:40:47.58
Notice, "The message
to the Laodicean Church
00:40:47.61\00:40:50.08
is applicable to all
who have had great light
00:40:50.11\00:40:54.02
and many opportunities
00:40:54.05\00:40:55.38
and yet have not
appreciated them."
00:40:55.42\00:40:57.49
Can we say, as a
people, we have great light?
00:40:57.52\00:41:02.69
And I'm going to just say
00:41:02.72\00:41:04.06
more than any
in the whole world.
00:41:04.09\00:41:08.00
See it's time we set that.
00:41:08.03\00:41:09.36
It's time to
challenge some of these thinkers
00:41:09.40\00:41:11.70
that are out there to
say, "Well we all have this."
00:41:11.73\00:41:13.94
God has shined light upon us.
00:41:13.97\00:41:15.90
Did he not with Israel of old?
00:41:15.94\00:41:18.24
His people, He
gave them special light.
00:41:18.27\00:41:19.91
How about the Jews,
special light for their time?
00:41:19.94\00:41:22.48
Adventists
who's taken the place,
00:41:22.51\00:41:24.11
right, Israel, Jews Adventist,
00:41:24.15\00:41:26.18
because there were advocating
00:41:26.21\00:41:27.62
this seventh day
Sabbath number one.
00:41:27.65\00:41:29.28
The message
then applies to those
00:41:32.42\00:41:34.46
who have had great
light, so look out.
00:41:34.49\00:41:37.59
You're going to have to deny it,
00:41:37.63\00:41:38.96
we haven't had great light
00:41:38.99\00:41:40.33
or you going to say we
have and so it applies to us.
00:41:40.36\00:41:42.70
But we haven't appreciated it.
00:41:42.73\00:41:44.27
We haven't used it.
00:41:44.30\00:41:47.00
We haven't had holy boldness
the way that we need to.
00:41:47.04\00:41:49.40
Review and Herald
7-23-1889 says this,
00:41:49.44\00:41:53.11
notice, "The message
of the Laodicean Church
00:41:53.14\00:41:55.94
is applicable to our condition."
00:41:55.98\00:41:59.68
Now remember, if
applicable back then,
00:41:59.71\00:42:02.32
how much more so now?
00:42:02.35\00:42:06.25
My opinion, we
haven't gotten better.
00:42:06.29\00:42:09.02
We're losing it.
00:42:09.06\00:42:11.86
We're going
farther and farther away
00:42:11.89\00:42:13.66
in order to get numbers
00:42:13.70\00:42:15.03
rather than the truly converted.
00:42:15.06\00:42:16.93
Is it okay to say that?
00:42:16.97\00:42:19.93
Yeah, no, all we say is
small group is dedicated
00:42:19.97\00:42:23.47
to the cause of
God and watch Him work.
00:42:23.51\00:42:25.84
He started with
12, isn't that right?
00:42:25.87\00:42:30.28
It was never a large group
00:42:30.31\00:42:32.61
compared with the
world and what's going on.
00:42:32.65\00:42:34.58
And the devil makes
it turn around and say,
00:42:34.62\00:42:37.12
"Yeah, but you guys
can't be the right church here
00:42:37.15\00:42:39.19
because there's
such a little amount..."
00:42:39.22\00:42:43.63
We turn around and
say there's a remnant,
00:42:43.66\00:42:46.90
a remnant within the remnant
that's going to be saved.
00:42:46.93\00:42:50.83
Not everyone says, "Lord,
00:42:50.87\00:42:52.20
Lord" is going to
enter into the Kingdom.
00:42:52.23\00:42:54.20
Not everyone who go to
church on Saturday, right?
00:42:54.24\00:42:56.24
We go to church on
Saturday, so we're now...
00:42:56.27\00:42:57.91
There's so much
more to it than that.
00:42:57.94\00:43:01.41
That's exactly.
00:43:01.44\00:43:02.98
Manuscript 33, 1894
says this apply to us,
00:43:03.01\00:43:06.78
"It has been placed
before us for a long time..."
00:43:06.82\00:43:10.89
they'll listen,
"But has not been heeded
00:43:10.92\00:43:14.62
as it should have been."
00:43:14.66\00:43:16.49
That means we've fallen short.
00:43:16.52\00:43:18.09
Does that make sense?
00:43:18.13\00:43:19.66
This message has been
put to us for a long time,
00:43:19.69\00:43:22.66
but we haven't heeded it.
00:43:22.70\00:43:24.50
Then we have to decide,
00:43:24.53\00:43:25.87
you know, where
maybe we haven't heeded it.
00:43:25.90\00:43:28.24
There's good news,
remember, for the lukewarm.
00:43:28.27\00:43:30.61
There's good news
for the Laodiceans.
00:43:30.64\00:43:33.64
There's good news
for the people of God.
00:43:33.68\00:43:36.75
Review and Herald
8-28-1894, I put a star by this.
00:43:36.78\00:43:40.52
Notice what it said,
00:43:40.55\00:43:42.22
"Laodicean message is
full of encouragement."
00:43:42.25\00:43:44.99
It depends on who reads it.
00:43:48.39\00:43:49.92
Some people say, "Oh,
00:43:49.96\00:43:51.29
we're going to
start on that again.
00:43:51.33\00:43:52.66
Man, we're in a lot of mess,
we can't go through there."
00:43:52.69\00:43:54.86
Why not face it and look at it?
00:43:54.90\00:43:57.77
If it be true, then God help us.
00:43:57.80\00:44:00.47
We don't want to be that group
that He vomits out and He will.
00:44:00.50\00:44:04.11
He will do exactly what He says
00:44:04.14\00:44:05.64
He's going to do
regardless of your profession.
00:44:05.67\00:44:08.61
Your words have to speak loudly.
00:44:08.64\00:44:12.51
The profession means nothing.
00:44:12.55\00:44:14.45
"I belong to the
Seven-day Adventist Church."
00:44:14.48\00:44:16.95
So what?
00:44:16.99\00:44:19.45
I'm not trying to downplay that.
00:44:19.49\00:44:20.82
I'm not trying to make it ugly.
00:44:20.86\00:44:23.09
It's much more than that.
00:44:23.12\00:44:25.29
You know it, and I know it.
00:44:25.33\00:44:26.83
It's much more.
00:44:26.86\00:44:29.50
Notice this, Laodicean message
is full of encouragement."
00:44:29.53\00:44:32.30
Listen, "For the
backslidden church
00:44:32.33\00:44:39.27
may yet by the
goal of faith and love,
00:44:39.31\00:44:43.08
and may yet have the white robe
00:44:43.11\00:44:46.08
of righteousness of Christ."
00:44:46.11\00:44:49.78
That's pretty plain, isn't it?
00:44:49.82\00:44:51.49
So what the
writing of this right here
00:44:51.52\00:44:53.19
is talking about
is there's good news,
00:44:53.22\00:44:55.32
there still hope,
right, blood's still flowing,
00:44:55.36\00:44:59.53
there can be
forgiveness of Laodiceans.
00:44:59.56\00:45:01.20
A message comes that drive us
00:45:01.23\00:45:03.00
to our knees to
beg and plead to God,
00:45:03.03\00:45:05.17
take our sins from us.
00:45:05.20\00:45:07.64
Let us start
over, let's start fresh
00:45:07.67\00:45:09.64
because we've backslidden.
00:45:09.67\00:45:11.37
We've slowly been
retreating back to Egypt,
00:45:11.41\00:45:13.54
and He's calling us back,
00:45:13.58\00:45:15.68
"For the
backslidden church may yet..."
00:45:15.71\00:45:19.01
No, I didn't make that up.
00:45:19.05\00:45:21.22
You have a fight,
00:45:21.25\00:45:22.58
you need to go to
Spirit of Prophecy
00:45:22.62\00:45:23.95
and look that
backslidden church.
00:45:23.99\00:45:26.09
I don't like that.
00:45:26.12\00:45:28.82
Remember that's total as a whole
00:45:28.86\00:45:31.26
but how about you?
00:45:31.29\00:45:32.63
How about me?
00:45:32.66\00:45:34.36
Have we
backslidden away from God?
00:45:34.40\00:45:37.23
Manuscript 139, 1903.
00:45:37.27\00:45:39.73
Notice this, "There
is hope for our churches
00:45:39.77\00:45:45.07
if they will heed the message
given to the Laodiceans."
00:45:45.11\00:45:49.28
Wow!
00:45:49.31\00:45:51.65
See, if there's a knocking
at your heart's door right now,
00:45:51.68\00:45:54.98
whether it's individually,
collectively as a group,
00:45:55.02\00:45:57.19
whatever it might be.
00:45:57.22\00:45:58.72
Every knock,
that's not answered,
00:45:58.75\00:46:00.76
pretty soon it becomes what?
00:46:00.79\00:46:02.12
You can't quite hear
well as you did while ago.
00:46:02.16\00:46:04.59
Oh, you can't hide it.
00:46:04.63\00:46:05.96
And then when we don't
hear it, all of a sudden,
00:46:05.99\00:46:07.33
we begin to stack a
bunch of junk against the door.
00:46:07.36\00:46:10.33
And before we can open
that door as it were right,
00:46:10.37\00:46:12.97
we've got to remove some junk.
00:46:13.00\00:46:15.80
And we look at it and say,
00:46:15.84\00:46:17.17
"There's just too
much junk here to remove."
00:46:17.21\00:46:18.67
He wants to come in
00:46:18.71\00:46:20.04
but now this
person is saying this,
00:46:20.08\00:46:22.84
this person is saying that.
00:46:22.88\00:46:25.05
The mind becomes so confused.
00:46:25.08\00:46:28.45
There's all kinds of voices
00:46:28.48\00:46:29.82
that are heard
in the world today.
00:46:29.85\00:46:33.39
And more voices that we listened
00:46:33.42\00:46:34.76
to that's not
from the Holy Spirit
00:46:34.79\00:46:36.12
of the living God, what happens?
00:46:36.16\00:46:37.49
Oh my, convictions
begins to die away.
00:46:37.53\00:46:40.50
We no longer know what truth is.
00:46:40.53\00:46:42.56
Get rid of that
junk by the grace of God.
00:46:42.60\00:46:45.73
If you'd like a picture,
00:46:45.77\00:46:47.44
at least in your mind right now,
00:46:47.47\00:46:48.80
of the people of God
00:46:48.84\00:46:50.27
during this great
or this final shaking.
00:46:50.31\00:46:52.94
Here it goes.
00:46:52.97\00:46:55.18
What takes place?
00:46:55.21\00:46:57.08
Remember it's for our own good.
00:46:57.11\00:47:02.58
Listen, remember
this last final shaking
00:47:02.62\00:47:05.79
takes place just prior
00:47:05.82\00:47:10.23
to the outpouring
of the latter rain.
00:47:10.26\00:47:13.56
Lord have mercy.
00:47:13.60\00:47:16.03
We have to be ready
00:47:16.06\00:47:17.40
so the latter
rain can fall upon us
00:47:17.43\00:47:19.27
and that means sins got to go.
00:47:19.30\00:47:20.94
Does that make sense?
00:47:20.97\00:47:22.37
The message, the
Laodicean Church say,
00:47:22.40\00:47:24.37
"Come on, right?
00:47:24.41\00:47:25.74
Let the Holy Spirit
00:47:25.77\00:47:27.11
of the living God
work in the church.
00:47:27.14\00:47:28.48
Let the people be converted.
00:47:28.51\00:47:31.08
Let them weep between
the porch and the altar,
00:47:31.11\00:47:34.05
beg and plead for God's mercy.
00:47:34.08\00:47:38.22
This is an intense
time for God's people."
00:47:38.25\00:47:43.49
One Testimony 179
and 80 talks about this.
00:47:43.53\00:47:46.16
Notice, here we go, "I
was shown the people of God,
00:47:46.19\00:47:49.93
you can either
believe that or reject it."
00:47:49.96\00:47:51.50
See, a lot people
turn their back...
00:47:51.53\00:47:54.24
Somebody needs to
pay attention to that,
00:47:54.27\00:47:55.84
"I was shown the people of
God and I saw the mighty shaken.
00:47:55.87\00:48:01.38
Some, with strong faith
00:48:01.41\00:48:03.61
and agonizing cries
were pleading with God.
00:48:03.65\00:48:07.35
Their countenance was pale
and marked with deep anxiety."
00:48:07.38\00:48:12.15
You know we see people
00:48:12.19\00:48:13.52
with deep anxiety today we mark.
00:48:13.56\00:48:15.42
We come into the
church, sometime we're laughing
00:48:15.46\00:48:17.23
and we're talking
and we're doing...
00:48:17.26\00:48:18.59
We don't have time
to come in here and pray
00:48:18.63\00:48:19.96
and get our hearts
right and mind ready
00:48:20.00\00:48:21.33
to meet with God.
00:48:21.36\00:48:22.70
We got too much of the
world in here and we're praying.
00:48:22.73\00:48:24.13
Leave it outside.
00:48:24.17\00:48:26.30
You see, it's what we should do.
00:48:26.33\00:48:27.67
Prepare before we
come through those doors.
00:48:27.70\00:48:31.44
Anxiety, why?
00:48:31.47\00:48:32.81
Because we're
coming to meet our Maker.
00:48:32.84\00:48:36.75
We're meeting the one
who will stand in our defense
00:48:36.78\00:48:38.91
or won't be able to
stand in our defense.
00:48:38.95\00:48:42.72
"With firmness
and great earnestness
00:48:42.75\00:48:45.02
were expressed in
their countenance,
00:48:45.05\00:48:47.12
while large drops
of perspiration fell
00:48:47.16\00:48:49.66
from their foreheads."
00:48:49.69\00:48:52.33
You talk about
agonizing before God.
00:48:52.36\00:48:56.67
How long has it been
since we agonize before God?
00:48:56.70\00:49:00.74
It's a great drop of sweat.
00:49:00.77\00:49:03.67
Remember what
causes the shaking?
00:49:03.71\00:49:05.51
Our time is running low
but notice what it says.
00:49:05.54\00:49:07.41
You know this well,
One Testimonies 181 says,
00:49:07.44\00:49:10.38
"Remember I asked the meaning
of the shaking," what was it?
00:49:10.41\00:49:13.21
"I had seen and was shown that
00:49:13.25\00:49:14.58
it will be caused by the," what?
00:49:14.62\00:49:16.25
"Straight testimony called forth
00:49:16.28\00:49:18.49
by the council of
the True Witness."
00:49:18.52\00:49:20.36
Who is that?
00:49:20.39\00:49:21.72
Jesus Christ, isn't that right?
00:49:21.76\00:49:23.09
The power of the Holy Spirit.
00:49:23.12\00:49:24.46
It said, "God's people
need to have straight truth
00:49:24.49\00:49:26.90
right now."
00:49:26.93\00:49:28.73
And it goes to the
Laodicea to wake it up.
00:49:28.76\00:49:31.80
"This will have an effect
upon the heart of the receiver,
00:49:31.83\00:49:35.47
and will lead him
to exalt the standard
00:49:35.50\00:49:37.74
or the law of God.
00:49:37.77\00:49:39.67
It will cause him to what?
00:49:39.71\00:49:41.04
Exalt the law of God
00:49:41.08\00:49:42.41
and pour forth
the straight truth."
00:49:42.44\00:49:44.88
Notice this, "Some will not bear
00:49:44.91\00:49:48.05
the straight testimony."
00:49:48.08\00:49:49.75
Why?
00:49:49.78\00:49:51.12
Because you got the
liberals in the church.
00:49:51.15\00:49:52.85
You got the
conservatives in the church.
00:49:52.89\00:49:54.92
Two words that
should never be used
00:49:54.96\00:49:56.36
in the church.
00:49:56.39\00:49:57.73
Is that okay?
00:49:57.76\00:49:59.36
Since when does the
Word of God say right now,
00:49:59.39\00:50:01.33
"This is the liberals over here.
00:50:01.36\00:50:03.37
This is a
conservative over here?"
00:50:03.40\00:50:05.47
Conservative means
you're holding back from truth,
00:50:05.50\00:50:07.20
isn't that right?
00:50:07.24\00:50:08.57
Liberals means you
just messed all over.
00:50:08.60\00:50:11.61
You go anywhere
you want to with it.
00:50:11.64\00:50:13.64
That's not it at all
but yet we'll use it like
00:50:13.68\00:50:15.61
it's some, kind
of, a political game.
00:50:15.64\00:50:17.28
It's not, going to
the straight truth.
00:50:17.31\00:50:20.35
Some will not
bear the testimony,
00:50:20.38\00:50:21.98
they will rise up against it.
00:50:22.02\00:50:23.72
This will cause the
shaking among God's people.
00:50:23.75\00:50:26.89
God have mercy.
00:50:26.92\00:50:28.26
Thank You, God, for
those who are studying
00:50:28.29\00:50:29.86
to show
themselves approved unto God.
00:50:29.89\00:50:31.63
Thank You, God, for
those who have the knowledge
00:50:31.66\00:50:33.50
of truth in their
heart, in their mind,
00:50:33.53\00:50:35.03
and they will not tolerate
00:50:35.06\00:50:37.20
untruths to be spoken
and lived out in the church.
00:50:37.23\00:50:41.94
If we get that
kind of individual
00:50:41.97\00:50:43.54
and those kind of
things are happening,
00:50:43.57\00:50:44.91
we need to show them the door.
00:50:44.94\00:50:47.18
I know that's not popular.
00:50:47.21\00:50:48.54
I know people
don't want to hear that.
00:50:48.58\00:50:51.65
Remember, if
that's the thinking,
00:50:51.68\00:50:53.25
the enemy has
control of the mind.
00:50:53.28\00:50:55.68
We don't need to fight that.
00:50:55.72\00:50:57.05
We want to come
into the presence
00:50:57.09\00:50:58.42
of the Holy Spirit
on God's Sabbath day
00:50:58.45\00:51:00.26
and we want to hear from heaven.
00:51:00.29\00:51:01.76
Not a conflict,
00:51:01.79\00:51:03.12
not somebody is going to be hurt
00:51:03.16\00:51:04.49
every time we look around.
00:51:04.53\00:51:08.10
God sends His people
00:51:08.13\00:51:09.46
another warning to wake them up.
00:51:09.50\00:51:10.93
You know why?
00:51:10.97\00:51:12.30
One Testimony 181, notice this,
00:51:12.33\00:51:14.20
the solemn
testimony, we're talking about,
00:51:14.24\00:51:16.17
it's so important right
now to Gods last day people
00:51:16.20\00:51:19.41
as individually and as a body."
00:51:19.44\00:51:21.64
Notice this,
"The solemn testimony
00:51:21.68\00:51:23.71
upon which the
destiny of the church hangs
00:51:23.75\00:51:28.28
has been lightly esteemed,
00:51:28.32\00:51:31.15
if not entirely disregarded."
00:51:31.19\00:51:33.86
God give us the testimonies.
00:51:33.89\00:51:35.22
All these books
that had been given
00:51:35.26\00:51:36.59
through the Spirit of
Prophecy, and it's been...
00:51:36.62\00:51:38.69
We just lightly regard
them... Well, we don't know...
00:51:38.73\00:51:42.36
If not entirely disregard it
00:51:42.40\00:51:44.73
because we come up
with what we think.
00:51:44.77\00:51:46.74
"I'll be able to do and
get by within this world
00:51:46.77\00:51:48.84
and still make it to heaven."
00:51:48.87\00:51:50.57
God's telling you
He's given you a map,
00:51:50.61\00:51:53.27
lightly esteemed.
00:51:53.31\00:51:56.04
Testimony of the
true witness must work
00:51:56.08\00:51:58.98
some deep
repentance in all of our heart,
00:51:59.01\00:52:01.25
all of our lives.
00:52:01.28\00:52:02.78
And then what?
00:52:02.82\00:52:04.15
Then we need to
obey and by obeying,
00:52:04.19\00:52:06.42
be purified by this message.
00:52:06.45\00:52:09.69
Every person
should be interested
00:52:09.72\00:52:11.16
in finding out what truth is.
00:52:11.19\00:52:13.23
Let me just say
this quickly here.
00:52:13.26\00:52:14.60
Oh my, we're not even
going to get half done.
00:52:14.63\00:52:19.03
Can I say I'm tired
of people talking about
00:52:19.07\00:52:21.54
don't talk about
doctrine in the church?
00:52:21.57\00:52:23.91
I'm going to say it.
00:52:23.94\00:52:25.51
I'm tired.
00:52:25.54\00:52:27.04
Not necessarily group
00:52:27.08\00:52:28.41
but every time
you meet somebody,
00:52:28.44\00:52:29.78
you'll talk about a
truth and God's will,
00:52:29.81\00:52:31.15
"Well, we don't teach
doctrine at our church.
00:52:31.18\00:52:34.45
We're non-denominational."
00:52:34.48\00:52:35.92
I'm talking about it.
00:52:35.95\00:52:38.05
Listen, what do you mean
you don't teach doctrine?
00:52:38.09\00:52:42.56
You don't teach doctrine,
you don't want doctrine?
00:52:42.59\00:52:45.06
A word some think
is a curse word almost.
00:52:45.09\00:52:48.76
Why?
00:52:48.80\00:52:50.17
You'll find it in
the Old Testament,
00:52:50.20\00:52:52.20
five, six places and 50
times in the New Testament.
00:52:52.23\00:52:56.64
Doctrine simply
means instructions.
00:52:56.67\00:52:58.37
How simple that is?
00:52:58.41\00:52:59.91
Teachings, it's a learning.
00:52:59.94\00:53:01.98
It's a topic. It's a subject.
00:53:02.01\00:53:04.08
In Adventism, we take a subject,
00:53:04.11\00:53:06.15
and we delve
into the Word of God
00:53:06.18\00:53:08.08
to find out what that
subject is talking about,
00:53:08.12\00:53:10.19
and what truth
is and establish it.
00:53:10.22\00:53:12.85
We need to...
00:53:12.89\00:53:14.22
Jesus taught doctrine.
00:53:14.26\00:53:16.89
People don't come to me and say,
00:53:16.93\00:53:18.26
"We don't teach doctrine",
00:53:18.29\00:53:19.63
then you're not
teaching anything
00:53:19.66\00:53:21.00
that Jesus taught.
00:53:21.03\00:53:22.43
You're not
following Jesus at all.
00:53:22.46\00:53:24.00
See, it's time we just
fessed them up with it.
00:53:24.03\00:53:27.10
Matthew 7:28-29. You
think it's difficult?
00:53:27.14\00:53:30.14
You say, "Oh, mine."
00:53:30.17\00:53:31.51
It said, talking about Jesus,
00:53:31.54\00:53:33.54
"The people were
astonished at His doctrines."
00:53:33.58\00:53:37.95
Verse 29, "For He taught them
as one having great authority."
00:53:37.98\00:53:41.85
Jesus had doctrine.
00:53:41.88\00:53:43.28
Notice the reason for doctrine.
00:53:43.32\00:53:44.82
John 7:17, our
time's going down.
00:53:44.85\00:53:46.86
"If any man will do His Will,
00:53:46.89\00:53:48.52
he shall know of the
doctrines whether they be of God
00:53:48.56\00:53:51.53
or whether I speak of myself."
00:53:51.56\00:53:52.89
Isn't that beautiful?
00:53:52.93\00:53:54.26
Jesus taught doctrines.
00:53:54.30\00:53:55.90
John 7:16, "Jesus
answered them and said,
00:53:55.93\00:53:59.67
My doctrine is not
mine, but His that sent me."
00:53:59.70\00:54:03.97
Oh, that means...
00:54:04.01\00:54:05.61
I got to say this nicely.
00:54:05.64\00:54:07.01
God has doctrines.
00:54:07.04\00:54:09.61
He has teachings, right?
00:54:09.64\00:54:11.85
He does.
00:54:11.88\00:54:13.82
Jesus said, "They're not mine.
00:54:13.85\00:54:15.18
They're my father's."
00:54:15.22\00:54:17.59
1 Timothy 6:1, "The name of God
00:54:17.62\00:54:20.29
and His doctrine
be not blasphemed."
00:54:20.32\00:54:23.06
This settles
it, 1 Timothy 6:3-4,
00:54:23.09\00:54:24.99
"If any man teach otherwise,
00:54:25.03\00:54:27.13
and consent not
to wholesome words,
00:54:27.16\00:54:29.00
even the words of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:54:29.03\00:54:31.50
and to the doctrine
00:54:31.53\00:54:32.87
which is according to godliness.
00:54:32.90\00:54:35.37
He is proud."
00:54:35.40\00:54:36.87
That means he's a fool.
00:54:36.91\00:54:38.64
"Knowing nothing, he's
doting about questions..."
00:54:38.67\00:54:42.18
You ever talk to
people like that?
00:54:42.21\00:54:44.18
All they want to
do is ask questions
00:54:44.21\00:54:45.55
that's not really
maybe in the Word of God.
00:54:45.58\00:54:47.52
They want to try to
throw you off track.
00:54:47.55\00:54:49.15
They want to try to
put something out there,
00:54:49.18\00:54:50.65
you know, that causes nothing
00:54:50.69\00:54:52.05
but strife and
division and separation.
00:54:52.09\00:54:55.56
Skip there in verse 5 quickly.
00:54:55.59\00:54:56.93
It says, you
know why they do that?
00:54:56.96\00:54:58.39
"Because they're
destitute of truth."
00:54:58.43\00:55:00.70
Our time is gone.
00:55:00.73\00:55:02.06
Oh my, time's passed by,
00:55:02.10\00:55:03.67
when you're having fun for sure.
00:55:03.70\00:55:05.07
Isn't that right?
00:55:05.10\00:55:06.43
These are awesome
times that we are living in.
00:55:06.47\00:55:11.31
The shaking is going on.
00:55:11.34\00:55:13.44
And remember, I
wish we had more time
00:55:13.48\00:55:14.88
we'll prove that as
the shaking commences
00:55:14.91\00:55:16.95
and continues on,
00:55:16.98\00:55:18.31
we're going to find
more and more people
00:55:18.35\00:55:19.68
that are not showing up.
00:55:19.71\00:55:21.05
And more and more people
00:55:21.08\00:55:22.42
is not going to
ever show up again
00:55:22.45\00:55:23.79
but there's going
to be other people
00:55:23.82\00:55:25.15
that's going to come
in and be honest in heart
00:55:25.19\00:55:26.52
and take the place.
00:55:26.55\00:55:27.89
I don't want
anybody taking my place.
00:55:27.92\00:55:29.26
You don't want
anybody taking your place.
00:55:29.29\00:55:30.63
They will do it right
now because you know truth,
00:55:30.66\00:55:33.26
light has been shining
on you and shining on me.
00:55:33.29\00:55:35.76
And by God's
grace, we need to obey it
00:55:35.80\00:55:37.83
and be purified by it
00:55:37.87\00:55:39.77
because the shaking
will become more violent.
00:55:39.80\00:55:42.40
It's going to
be rougher as we go
00:55:42.44\00:55:43.77
and sometimes we
say, "You know what?
00:55:43.81\00:55:45.14
It's better just to
step out of this thing,
00:55:45.17\00:55:46.51
God, I can't get
beat up anymore."
00:55:46.54\00:55:48.64
God's going to make sure
you're not beat up anymore.
00:55:48.68\00:55:51.21
God's going to
be your protector.
00:55:51.25\00:55:52.68
He's going to be your shield.
00:55:52.71\00:55:54.15
He's going to take care of you.
00:55:54.18\00:55:55.52
He's going to take care
of me, but we have to endure.
00:55:55.55\00:55:58.09
The Bible said, "He
that endureth unto the end,
00:55:58.12\00:56:00.36
the same shall be saved."
00:56:00.39\00:56:02.29
Let's not be shaken out.
00:56:02.32\00:56:03.73
Let's be steadfast and
sure that on that solid rock,
00:56:03.76\00:56:07.53
which is Jesus Christ,
00:56:07.56\00:56:08.96
and I shall not be,
I shall not be moved.
00:56:09.00\00:56:12.17
Just like a tree
that's planted by the water,
00:56:12.20\00:56:14.30
Lord, I shall not be moved.
00:56:14.34\00:56:15.90
Let's pray, shall we?
00:56:15.94\00:56:18.31
Merciful Father in Heaven,
00:56:18.34\00:56:19.67
thank You for Your
precious Word today.
00:56:19.71\00:56:21.48
We thank You that
You are that solid rock.
00:56:21.51\00:56:23.51
Thank You that You promised
00:56:23.55\00:56:25.25
that if we stand and
we call on Your name,
00:56:25.28\00:56:27.15
You said You would answer,
00:56:27.18\00:56:28.52
You would fight
our battles for us.
00:56:28.55\00:56:30.05
You would give us
everything necessary
00:56:30.09\00:56:31.55
that we may gain the
victory over the enemy,
00:56:31.59\00:56:33.25
and at last
heaven can be our home.
00:56:33.29\00:56:35.79
Oh, Lord, how we
long for that day
00:56:35.82\00:56:37.99
when all of our
labors and trials
00:56:38.03\00:56:40.10
are over and we are
safe on that beautiful shore.
00:56:40.13\00:56:43.53
Lord, we want to
be near you in heaven,
00:56:43.57\00:56:45.60
but we need to be near
You right here on earth.
00:56:45.63\00:56:48.20
Every test will come
every day of our life,
00:56:48.24\00:56:50.97
every decision, every influence,
00:56:51.01\00:56:53.51
we pray will be for Your
honor and for Your glory.
00:56:53.54\00:56:56.41
May other see that
Jesus lives in our hearts,
00:56:56.44\00:56:59.05
no longer I but Christ.
00:56:59.08\00:57:01.52
Bless us, we pray to
this and save us Lord,
00:57:01.55\00:57:03.59
when You come.
00:57:03.62\00:57:04.95
But help us remember right
now, Hang on to Jesus right now.
00:57:04.99\00:57:09.22
If we don't, we will
not make it in Jesus' name.
00:57:09.26\00:57:12.39
Amen.
00:57:12.43\00:57:14.66
Hello, and
welcome back, friends.
00:57:14.70\00:57:16.97
It is the straight testimony
and the denial of that,
00:57:17.00\00:57:20.34
which is biblical truth
00:57:20.37\00:57:21.87
that will cause
the final shaking.
00:57:21.90\00:57:24.37
We, certainly, hope today
00:57:24.41\00:57:25.84
that Pastor
Kenny Shelton was able,
00:57:25.87\00:57:28.31
by the grace of God,
00:57:28.34\00:57:29.88
to make that vital
point explicitly clear.
00:57:29.91\00:57:33.42
However, God is not
willing that any should perish,
00:57:33.45\00:57:37.42
but that all
should come to repentance.
00:57:37.45\00:57:39.99
You can find
that in 2 Peter 3:9.
00:57:40.02\00:57:43.16
Again, today's
message is entitled,
00:57:43.19\00:57:45.63
The Final Shaking.
00:57:45.66\00:57:47.33
And should you
desire your very own copy
