00:11:33.29\00:11:37.69 Thirty first. 00:11:37.73\00:11:39.06 October 31st, 00:11:39.09\00:11:40.43 he posted his 95 theses out of love 00:11:40.46\00:11:44.33 for the truth to start a conversation, 00:11:44.37\00:11:47.54 and he thought that the church would love it. 00:11:47.57\00:11:50.11 And yet now in 2016 we saw where Pope Francis, 00:11:50.14\00:11:54.88 and I'm going to look here 00:11:54.91\00:11:56.24 because I may not be able to pronounce this word, 00:11:56.28\00:11:59.48 this name correctly, 00:11:59.51\00:12:01.38 Bishop Munib Youhan or Younan maybe, 00:12:01.42\00:12:05.72 they signed an agreement. 00:12:05.75\00:12:07.76 On October 31st 499 years later and when you read about it, 00:12:07.79\00:12:13.06 they're calling that 95 theses 00:12:13.09\00:12:15.86 that Martin Luther had put up there, 00:12:15.90\00:12:17.57 they're calling it heretic... 00:12:17.60\00:12:20.67 Like a heretic. 00:12:20.70\00:12:22.04 Yes, a heresy, 00:12:22.07\00:12:23.67 saying that it was wrong and it divided the church 00:12:23.71\00:12:26.71 and you see when you begin to read some of these articles 00:12:26.74\00:12:29.61 that when they did this, 00:12:29.64\00:12:31.25 they're actually flip-flopping some of the history 00:12:31.28\00:12:33.78 that we have learned over the years 00:12:33.82\00:12:36.28 rather than the Christian church, 00:12:36.32\00:12:39.95 the Protestants being persecuted, 00:12:39.99\00:12:42.02 it looks as though we were persecuting 00:12:42.06\00:12:43.93 the Catholic Church. 00:12:43.96\00:12:45.29 Well, have mercy. 00:12:45.33\00:12:46.66 So it's interesting how truth is becoming error in our day, 00:12:46.70\00:12:49.26 and error is becoming truth. 00:12:49.30\00:12:50.77 There are so many things and you look back over 2016, 00:12:50.80\00:12:54.00 the presidential election, 00:12:54.04\00:12:56.50 the rhetoric coming from the presidential election 00:12:56.54\00:13:00.08 like we have never seen before. 00:13:00.11\00:13:03.31 Of course it's coming on the heels of even in 2015 00:13:03.35\00:13:07.98 where the Supreme Court passed moral legislation 00:13:08.02\00:13:10.99 basically against God's law. 00:13:11.02\00:13:13.92 And so if we ever needed a prophetic voice, 00:13:13.96\00:13:17.69 it's today because people are confused. 00:13:17.73\00:13:20.16 Yeah. 00:13:20.20\00:13:21.53 And they are confused even when it comes to religion, 00:13:21.56\00:13:25.03 you have... 00:13:25.07\00:13:27.34 I mean, you can get online and just look up a prophet, 00:13:27.37\00:13:31.07 you've got doctor saying that they're prophets, 00:13:31.11\00:13:34.14 there are people over in Africa, 00:13:34.18\00:13:36.24 in fact I mean there are lot of supernatural things 00:13:36.28\00:13:40.22 where people and supposedly have recorded angels 00:13:40.25\00:13:44.15 that have come into these gatherings, 00:13:44.19\00:13:46.45 so we need to understand yes, we needed a prophetic voice 00:13:46.49\00:13:49.36 but how do we know it's a voice of God? 00:13:49.39\00:13:51.03 It sounds like it, it looks like it, boy, 00:13:51.06\00:13:53.16 they're doing all kinds of wonderful things 00:13:53.19\00:13:55.23 so we're living in a time of a supreme moral decay... 00:13:55.26\00:13:59.63 Yes. 00:13:59.67\00:14:01.00 As a nation I believe we've lost our moral compass, 00:14:01.04\00:14:04.51 so is there any help? 00:14:04.54\00:14:06.07 I know that's kind of throwing it out, 00:14:06.11\00:14:07.78 I just kind of want it to set it up, 00:14:07.81\00:14:09.88 and see where we go from here, 00:14:09.91\00:14:11.25 because I know that the Lord's been speaking 00:14:11.28\00:14:12.91 to each and everyone of your hearts 00:14:12.95\00:14:14.28 as you study this and as you look at it, 00:14:14.32\00:14:16.65 because God's given us promises. 00:14:16.69\00:14:18.95 He's given us promises that we will have prophets, 00:14:18.99\00:14:21.79 people will be dreaming dreams in the last days, 00:14:21.82\00:14:24.93 but as Pastor Kenny said 00:14:24.96\00:14:26.93 when will that spirit be poured out, 00:14:26.96\00:14:28.73 so Pastor Kenny, 00:14:28.76\00:14:30.10 I think you want to start with that first paragraph 00:14:30.13\00:14:32.37 and share a little bit. 00:14:32.40\00:14:33.74 Yeah, I think, I think we just should read this first 00:14:33.77\00:14:35.10 and we have, I think it applies for right now. 00:14:35.14\00:14:38.67 You read it and because you go to the Old Testament 00:14:38.71\00:14:40.61 people say, "Oh, that's Old Testament stuff, 00:14:40.64\00:14:42.14 you know, we don't have to worry about that." 00:14:42.18\00:14:43.98 But when you read this you also, you can go to, 00:14:44.01\00:14:46.25 you know, Acts 2, so you just find fulfillment, 00:14:46.28\00:14:49.08 and the fulfillment of this verse, 00:14:49.12\00:14:51.65 I believe it's in our day, 00:14:51.69\00:14:53.36 there are signs that have taken place 00:14:53.39\00:14:55.19 or things that we can relate to, to realize 00:14:55.22\00:14:57.29 that the spirit of the living God 00:14:57.33\00:14:58.69 is speaking to his last day people... 00:14:58.73\00:15:01.16 Yeah, through prophet, he can do that, 00:15:01.20\00:15:03.67 and it's a gift that we need. 00:15:03.70\00:15:05.43 The Bible says as Joel 2:28 says, 00:15:05.47\00:15:07.74 "It shall come to pass afterward, 00:15:07.77\00:15:09.87 that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, 00:15:09.90\00:15:13.31 and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 00:15:13.34\00:15:16.18 your old men shall dream dreams, 00:15:16.21\00:15:17.58 and your young men shall see visions." 00:15:17.61\00:15:21.15 Automatically, Sister Mollie, sometimes this scares people. 00:15:21.18\00:15:24.89 When you, anytime you talk about a prophet 00:15:24.92\00:15:27.09 because of all the, may I say shenanigans? 00:15:27.12\00:15:30.29 There has been so much that has been heretical. 00:15:30.33\00:15:33.46 Yes. 00:15:33.50\00:15:34.83 That it makes people then very leery when the truth is, 00:15:34.86\00:15:37.57 it comes along. 00:15:37.60\00:15:38.93 That's true. Yeah. 00:15:38.97\00:15:41.10 I think it also, it's been for now for sometime 00:15:41.14\00:15:46.61 especially in the evangelical world, 00:15:46.64\00:15:49.64 that everybody becomes a prophet, you know, 00:15:49.68\00:15:53.98 in their speeches all the time as an you know, 00:15:54.02\00:15:57.82 the Lord has gave me a prophecy and we're all prophets. 00:15:57.85\00:16:02.72 In some ways it is true that we are, you know, 00:16:02.76\00:16:07.40 to talk about what the prophetic gift 00:16:07.43\00:16:13.34 is a special gift that God has given, 00:16:13.37\00:16:16.14 and like you said, we must be sure that really 00:16:16.17\00:16:20.91 what is coming to us and it's from the Lord. 00:16:20.94\00:16:25.51 Amen. 00:16:25.55\00:16:26.88 Well, we truly have been warned. 00:16:26.92\00:16:28.82 Yes. 00:16:28.85\00:16:30.19 We've been warned in Revelation that there will be these things 00:16:30.22\00:16:32.32 that are happen, that we're drunk with the wine 00:16:32.35\00:16:34.62 and the wrath of her fornication. 00:16:34.66\00:16:36.52 As a nation, as a church, people don't realize it 00:16:36.56\00:16:40.66 but as a church we are drunk with spiritual confusion, 00:16:40.70\00:16:46.20 we don't know, so how do we discern? 00:16:46.23\00:16:48.90 Is there a prophetic voice? 00:16:48.94\00:16:50.37 Is there something? 00:16:50.41\00:16:51.74 Is there hope in a hopeless situation? 00:16:51.77\00:16:54.64 And unfortunately 00:16:54.68\00:16:56.38 because the enemy we're also told 00:16:56.41\00:16:58.45 that he's going to do miraculous things, 00:16:58.48\00:17:00.95 even cause fire come down from heaven, 00:17:00.98\00:17:03.15 so there are more than one spirit 00:17:03.18\00:17:04.85 that is working in this world, 00:17:04.89\00:17:06.72 so the Bible does it talk about that, 00:17:06.76\00:17:08.99 does it not say try the spirits to see whether they're of God. 00:17:09.02\00:17:13.90 So then there must be a prophetic voice 00:17:13.93\00:17:17.07 that we can try the spirits by. 00:17:17.10\00:17:19.67 Now Pastor, there is a little discussion we can all do here 00:17:19.70\00:17:22.94 but as we read that in Joel 2, 00:17:22.97\00:17:25.87 and then we know we can go to Acts 2, 00:17:25.91\00:17:28.08 we'd read verses 16, 17, 18, 19, we realize, you know, 00:17:28.11\00:17:31.98 the parallel but we... 00:17:32.01\00:17:33.95 I believe as we study scripture and prophecy, 00:17:33.98\00:17:36.08 we can understand the prediction 00:17:36.12\00:17:38.42 that we read here is being fulfilled. 00:17:38.45\00:17:40.62 There is a time frame that most people think 00:17:40.66\00:17:43.19 well, that's times past, 00:17:43.22\00:17:44.86 if you've seen that they want to say, 00:17:44.89\00:17:46.36 well, that was times past, 00:17:46.39\00:17:47.73 but we see it that this is for what? 00:17:47.76\00:17:49.93 At the end of time that the prophecy will be fulfilled 00:17:49.96\00:17:53.03 and then God gave us a lot of signs if we remember. 00:17:53.07\00:17:56.10 These are some of the signs that you, 00:17:56.14\00:17:57.94 and when you study too that you've looked at 00:17:57.97\00:18:00.01 because he said there will be signs in the sun, 00:18:00.04\00:18:02.48 and in the moon, and in the stars, 00:18:02.51\00:18:04.55 there is three, there is actually the fourth one 00:18:04.58\00:18:06.85 because when you can look in 1840, 00:18:06.88\00:18:09.02 the fall of the Ottoman Empire, 00:18:09.05\00:18:10.39 so it's after the end, 00:18:10.42\00:18:11.82 it's after the 1,260 days of persecution 00:18:11.85\00:18:15.02 you know, they said then these things will begin to happen, 00:18:15.06\00:18:18.53 so God was just, was He not just opening up the mat for us 00:18:18.56\00:18:21.56 to so that we could be sure 00:18:21.60\00:18:23.30 that this is the prophecy of the Bible. 00:18:23.33\00:18:24.67 Amen. 00:18:24.70\00:18:26.03 You know, there are true prophetic voices. 00:18:26.07\00:18:27.40 Yes. 00:18:27.44\00:18:28.77 And then I think everyone is given in these last days, 00:18:28.80\00:18:31.61 all of us will be given, 00:18:31.64\00:18:32.97 and I think Joel speaks to this, 00:18:33.01\00:18:34.71 a level of instruction from God. 00:18:34.74\00:18:37.18 Yes. 00:18:37.21\00:18:39.61 When you talk about a prophet, 00:18:39.65\00:18:40.98 there are one, two, three, four tests of prophet, 00:18:41.02\00:18:43.52 three come to mind right away, 00:18:43.55\00:18:44.89 I've been struggling to find the fourth one Jeremiah 28:9, 00:18:44.92\00:18:47.69 if a person makes a prophecy 00:18:47.72\00:18:49.32 it has to come to pass 100 percent of the time, 00:18:49.36\00:18:51.99 not 50 percent, not 75 percent, not hit and miss. 00:18:52.03\00:18:54.83 If a person is giving a word from God, 00:18:54.86\00:18:57.33 it's going to be accurate and true 00:18:57.37\00:18:59.33 all the time 100 percent. 00:18:59.37\00:19:01.50 By their fruits you shall know them. 00:19:01.54\00:19:02.97 If I talk one way and live another, 00:19:03.00\00:19:05.31 then I'm not a voice of God, Matthew 7:20, 00:19:05.34\00:19:07.61 so you've got to examine the life of a person, 00:19:07.64\00:19:10.05 it's got to align up with the life of Jesus Christ. 00:19:10.08\00:19:11.68 John, 1 John 4:2, 00:19:11.71\00:19:13.78 the person has got to confess in Jesus, 00:19:13.82\00:19:15.78 he got to believe in Jesus, 00:19:15.82\00:19:17.15 so if they're trying to take you some place else 00:19:17.19\00:19:19.05 or move you in another direction, 00:19:19.09\00:19:21.29 then they're not coming from God. 00:19:21.32\00:19:22.66 Amos 3:7, Surely the Lord will do nothing, 00:19:22.69\00:19:26.16 except He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. 00:19:26.19\00:19:28.93 So we know that in the last days 00:19:28.96\00:19:31.10 God is going to speak and is speaking 00:19:31.13\00:19:32.90 that will to continue to speak to guide us through 00:19:32.93\00:19:35.30 because the Lord is not trying to sneak in anything on us, 00:19:35.34\00:19:38.01 you know, God's trying to let us know, 00:19:38.04\00:19:39.87 Christ is coming soon so he wants everybody know, 00:19:39.91\00:19:42.24 he wants everyone to be prepared for that, 00:19:42.28\00:19:44.28 so he's not trying to slip something in on us, 00:19:44.31\00:19:46.41 so there will be prophetic voices, 00:19:46.45\00:19:48.92 voices who speak a word for the Lord, 00:19:48.95\00:19:50.89 we've got to test them by these things. 00:19:50.92\00:19:52.75 Mostly they've got to, 00:19:52.79\00:19:54.12 even the Holy Spirit doesn't speak of himself, 00:19:54.16\00:19:55.96 he glorifies Christ. 00:19:55.99\00:19:57.33 So if someone comes and they're taking glory to themselves. 00:19:57.36\00:20:00.03 And you really go to watch, you got to listen closely, 00:20:00.06\00:20:03.47 you know, you got to listen closely 00:20:03.50\00:20:04.83 because if they're glorifying self 00:20:04.87\00:20:07.00 or they're moving you away from the landmarks 00:20:07.04\00:20:09.74 or they've got new life 00:20:09.77\00:20:11.27 before they try to take you to another direction, 00:20:11.31\00:20:12.87 you've got to test them by this book. 00:20:12.91\00:20:14.34 That's right. 00:20:14.38\00:20:15.71 And if they come from God, 00:20:15.74\00:20:17.08 they're going to agree with this book. 00:20:17.11\00:20:18.45 So you can't get away from this book. 00:20:18.48\00:20:19.81 Well, let's go. Oh, go ahead. 00:20:19.85\00:20:21.18 And I'm thinking that right now 00:20:21.22\00:20:22.72 that the Bible also give us even physical guidelines 00:20:22.75\00:20:28.19 and to prove that if you're truly a prophet, 00:20:28.22\00:20:33.63 and that's how Sister White, you know, 00:20:33.66\00:20:36.56 Ellen White has been proven that she was a prophet, 00:20:36.60\00:20:41.37 and because she has fulfilled everything 00:20:41.40\00:20:44.71 from the spiritual to physical with the Bible guidelines. 00:20:44.74\00:20:50.68 That's true. 00:20:50.71\00:20:52.05 The definition of a prophet, 00:20:52.08\00:20:53.42 now what Sister White says is that, I'm the lesser light, 00:20:53.45\00:20:57.19 that's how she defined herself. 00:20:57.22\00:20:59.69 Definition of a prophet 00:20:59.72\00:21:01.06 one that is appointed by God Himself 00:21:01.09\00:21:03.69 to be a messenger for Him, 00:21:03.73\00:21:05.69 and I was going to read Ephesians 4:11-13. 00:21:05.73\00:21:08.13 Yes. 00:21:08.16\00:21:09.50 So where do prophets, who appoints prophets? 00:21:09.53\00:21:12.87 You don't just wake up one day and say, you know what? 00:21:12.90\00:21:15.80 I believe I will be a prophet. 00:21:15.84\00:21:17.17 Yeah. That's not how it happens. 00:21:17.21\00:21:19.37 In Ephesians 4:11-13, 00:21:19.41\00:21:21.84 "So Christ Himself gave the apostles, the prophets, 00:21:21.88\00:21:27.15 the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 00:21:27.18\00:21:29.55 that five-fold ministry that is in the church, 00:21:29.58\00:21:31.89 effectively in the church today." 00:21:31.92\00:21:33.66 Why? Verse 12. 00:21:33.69\00:21:35.72 "To equip his people for works of service 00:21:35.76\00:21:39.36 so that the body of Christ may be built up." 00:21:39.39\00:21:41.13 Amen. 00:21:41.16\00:21:42.50 So does the body of Christ still need to be built up? 00:21:42.53\00:21:45.33 Absolutely. 00:21:45.37\00:21:46.70 Then this five-fold ministry, 00:21:46.74\00:21:49.34 these offices are still in effect today. 00:21:49.37\00:21:52.07 Verse 13, "Until we all reach unity in the faith, 00:21:52.11\00:21:56.28 " and we're not there. 00:21:56.31\00:21:57.68 "And in the knowledge of the Son of God, 00:21:57.71\00:21:59.61 and become mature, which we're not, 00:21:59.65\00:22:02.18 attaining to the whole nature of the fullness of Christ." 00:22:02.22\00:22:05.09 So if Christ Himself gave the apostle, 00:22:05.12\00:22:09.42 prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher 00:22:09.46\00:22:11.16 and we're talking about the prophet today. 00:22:11.19\00:22:13.26 He gave it for the perfecting of the saints 00:22:13.29\00:22:15.50 till we all mature. 00:22:15.53\00:22:17.07 What that means if we're not mature, 00:22:17.10\00:22:19.17 then these offices, there are still apostles, 00:22:19.20\00:22:22.40 prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers at work 00:22:22.44\00:22:25.57 appointed of God in the church today. 00:22:25.61\00:22:28.21 We just need to recognize, 00:22:28.24\00:22:29.68 and my concern is that 00:22:29.71\00:22:31.28 they could be sitting right there in church. 00:22:31.31\00:22:33.05 Amen. 00:22:33.08\00:22:34.42 And full of God's Holy Spirit 00:22:34.45\00:22:36.18 ready to let that blessing from God pour into our church, 00:22:36.22\00:22:40.92 but we're not receiving them. 00:22:40.96\00:22:42.46 You know, He says, He gave some apostles, 00:22:42.49\00:22:44.93 some prophets, why? 00:22:44.96\00:22:46.29 Because He gave them to some people 00:22:46.33\00:22:48.20 'cause some people won't receive them. 00:22:48.23\00:22:50.03 Well, I want to the one of the ones that receive it. 00:22:50.07\00:22:51.50 Amen. 00:22:51.53\00:22:52.87 And I think Mollie's point is so important 00:22:52.90\00:22:54.34 and that is the difference between the prophetic gift 00:22:54.37\00:22:57.01 and the pastoral gift. 00:22:57.04\00:22:58.37 They're both given by God, 00:22:58.41\00:23:00.11 but the pastoral gift is confirmed by man. 00:23:00.14\00:23:02.34 In other words, you don't get to stand up for my church, 00:23:02.38\00:23:04.75 unless someone has said, he's got the gift, 00:23:04.78\00:23:06.78 his sound, his doctrine 00:23:06.82\00:23:08.58 and but the prophet gift come directly from God. 00:23:08.62\00:23:10.52 Yeah. 00:23:10.55\00:23:11.89 So you must be even more careful, 00:23:11.92\00:23:15.12 dare I use that term in receiving the prophetic gift 00:23:15.16\00:23:17.26 because he's not confirmed by men, 00:23:17.29\00:23:18.63 he gets this directly from God. 00:23:18.66\00:23:20.00 Amen. 00:23:20.03\00:23:21.36 And when you listen to it, 00:23:21.40\00:23:22.73 you got to make sure it's coming from God 00:23:22.76\00:23:24.10 because it's not going through any filter, 00:23:24.13\00:23:25.47 it's not going through any committees, 00:23:25.50\00:23:26.84 not going through any conference, 00:23:26.87\00:23:28.20 it's coming straight from God. 00:23:28.24\00:23:29.57 So you've go to be very careful 00:23:29.60\00:23:30.94 because it allows for some slipping in of error, 00:23:30.97\00:23:34.58 if because a person is not confirmed by men, 00:23:34.61\00:23:37.15 it's coming straight from God, 00:23:37.18\00:23:38.51 so you got to listen very careful, 00:23:38.55\00:23:39.88 which presupposes 00:23:39.91\00:23:41.25 and then I'll stop, that you know your word. 00:23:41.28\00:23:44.05 You know, you've got to test everybody, 00:23:44.09\00:23:46.86 Pastor Kenny, Pastor C.A, Pastor John, 00:23:46.89\00:23:48.82 pastor everybody by the word. 00:23:48.86\00:23:50.86 And the prophetic gift must be tested by the word 00:23:50.89\00:23:53.56 which means you got to know the word, 00:23:53.60\00:23:54.93 so that you don't get fool. 00:23:54.96\00:23:56.30 Amen. 00:23:56.33\00:23:57.67 That's exactly what I wanted to go next, 00:23:57.70\00:23:59.03 because really the Bible is a prophetic voice in our time. 00:23:59.07\00:24:02.40 The problem is people don't know the word. 00:24:02.44\00:24:05.31 They're not studying the word. 00:24:05.34\00:24:06.98 They feel like it's out of date, 00:24:07.01\00:24:09.91 it's out of touch, it doesn't fit our society. 00:24:09.94\00:24:12.58 And sometime because they don't, 00:24:12.61\00:24:13.95 as pastor said it they don't know 00:24:13.98\00:24:15.32 the scripture number one. 00:24:15.35\00:24:16.69 Right. 00:24:16.72\00:24:18.05 And the first thing we would throw, 00:24:18.09\00:24:19.42 I want to throw in the pot, 00:24:19.45\00:24:20.79 you throw in the pot is Isaiah 8:20. 00:24:20.82\00:24:22.19 Come on. 00:24:22.22\00:24:23.56 Isaiah, "To the law and to the testimony, 00:24:23.59\00:24:25.29 they speak not according to this word 00:24:25.33\00:24:26.70 because there is no light in them." 00:24:26.73\00:24:28.06 Light in them, that's what I can think of. 00:24:28.10\00:24:29.43 Yeah, that's the one. Yes. 00:24:29.46\00:24:30.80 But I mean, to me that's just a supreme test. 00:24:30.83\00:24:33.67 There is no light, don't say, 00:24:33.70\00:24:35.14 well, there is 90 percent and that's fine. 00:24:35.17\00:24:36.94 It said there is no light, so you rule it out. 00:24:36.97\00:24:38.61 Yeah. 00:24:38.64\00:24:39.97 That's how, you know, you test them 00:24:40.01\00:24:41.34 and then you mentioned while ago about, 00:24:41.38\00:24:43.95 God says, before these things come to pass, 00:24:43.98\00:24:47.22 was Isaiah 42, I'll show them. 00:24:47.25\00:24:49.02 I will show them, yes. 00:24:49.05\00:24:50.39 He doesn't want us to be fooled, 00:24:50.42\00:24:51.75 he doesn't want us to be, well, somebody let us astray, 00:24:51.79\00:24:54.19 he doesn't want that, so before it happens, 00:24:54.22\00:24:56.76 I'm going to show you, I'm going to tell you. 00:24:56.79\00:24:58.79 Though he does that and praise God for that, all right. 00:24:58.83\00:25:01.50 We're going back to what you just said, 00:25:01.53\00:25:02.93 that was a text that I was going to finish too, 00:25:02.96\00:25:05.53 because that is a keynote. 00:25:05.57\00:25:07.00 Yes. 00:25:07.04\00:25:08.37 And God is the same yesterday, today and forever, 00:25:08.40\00:25:11.07 we're told that in Hebrews 13:8. 00:25:11.11\00:25:13.64 And the interesting thing is a lot of these people 00:25:13.68\00:25:16.01 that are claiming to be prophets, 00:25:16.04\00:25:17.71 are claiming to have new light. 00:25:17.75\00:25:20.65 And we are warned 00:25:20.68\00:25:22.02 there will not be new light, why? 00:25:22.05\00:25:23.82 Number one, God is the same yesterday, 00:25:23.85\00:25:25.79 today, He changes not, 00:25:25.82\00:25:27.42 He's given us everything 00:25:27.46\00:25:29.09 in the word of God that will sustain us, 00:25:29.12\00:25:31.69 and that is there for our salvation. 00:25:31.73\00:25:34.16 Everything, he changes, 00:25:34.20\00:25:35.86 so by coming in if a prophet comes in 00:25:35.90\00:25:38.97 and says for example, you know, 00:25:39.00\00:25:42.20 we have rethought the Sabbath day, 00:25:42.24\00:25:44.81 it's no longer the seventh day. 00:25:44.84\00:25:46.88 Where it is the first day it was changed, 00:25:46.91\00:25:49.61 then you know right there is a red mark, 00:25:49.64\00:25:51.21 because throughout scripture 00:25:51.25\00:25:52.58 even to the very end 00:25:52.61\00:25:54.78 of the scriptures in Revelation, 00:25:54.82\00:25:57.02 you know, he has identifying marks, 00:25:57.05\00:25:59.19 I love these two identifying marks of God's remnant church. 00:25:59.22\00:26:03.12 Number one, Revelation what is it? 00:26:03.16\00:26:05.39 12:17, let's see, I may have it written here. 00:26:05.43\00:26:08.66 Yes, 00:26:08.70\00:26:10.03 "The dragon was wroth 00:26:10.07\00:26:11.40 with the woman which is the church, 00:26:11.43\00:26:12.77 and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, 00:26:12.80\00:26:15.14 which keep the commandments of God, 00:26:15.17\00:26:17.61 and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." 00:26:17.64\00:26:20.18 It said, testimony we're talking about, 00:26:20.21\00:26:22.11 how do we know? Yeah. 00:26:22.14\00:26:23.48 Revelation 19:10, who wants to read that? 00:26:23.51\00:26:26.15 Revelation 19:10, it says, and I fell... 00:26:26.18\00:26:28.92 Go ahead you know it. 00:26:28.95\00:26:30.29 Fell at his feet. Yeah, 00:26:30.32\00:26:31.65 fell at his feet for the worship, 00:26:31.69\00:26:33.02 to worship him and then he said do it not. 00:26:33.05\00:26:34.39 Not for I'm thy fellow... 00:26:34.42\00:26:35.92 Servant. Fellow servant. 00:26:35.96\00:26:37.29 Who worship God. 00:26:37.33\00:26:39.06 And then we get into the back end 00:26:39.09\00:26:40.43 which is the testimony of Jesus, 00:26:40.46\00:26:41.80 is the Spirit of Prophecy. Yeah, 00:26:41.83\00:26:43.16 it says for the testimony of Jesus. 00:26:43.20\00:26:45.20 We're working together. 00:26:45.23\00:26:46.57 That's right. It's the Spirit of Prophecy. 00:26:46.60\00:26:47.94 I just got to the punchline. 00:26:47.97\00:26:49.40 I like that. 00:26:49.44\00:26:50.77 But that's so important because we're letting the Bible 00:26:50.81\00:26:53.31 interpret itself and so it begins to tell us, 00:26:53.34\00:26:56.64 okay, well, these are some of the identifying marks 00:26:56.68\00:26:59.58 so if they're saying something that goes 00:26:59.61\00:27:01.18 against scripture, 00:27:01.22\00:27:02.55 all of a sudden I know that that's not the right spirit. 00:27:02.58\00:27:05.39 No matter how good they sound, 00:27:05.42\00:27:06.96 no matter how much they're praising, 00:27:06.99\00:27:08.46 no matter how much they're calling 00:27:08.49\00:27:09.99 on the name of Jesus. 00:27:10.03\00:27:12.03 See in today's world, 00:27:12.06\00:27:14.00 when you've got so much internet, 00:27:14.03\00:27:16.30 so much television... Yes. 00:27:16.33\00:27:17.67 And you know, it's easy for a person 00:27:17.70\00:27:19.43 to infect the world with his doctrine, 00:27:19.47\00:27:22.20 I mean you get to inject 00:27:22.24\00:27:23.57 your poison directly into the veins 00:27:23.61\00:27:25.27 of the people who are watching on the television, 00:27:25.31\00:27:27.38 or got that computer on, 00:27:27.41\00:27:29.21 so you've got to filter this stuff through the word of God, 00:27:29.24\00:27:31.88 because there is so much access now 00:27:31.91\00:27:34.58 with the electronics and with all of the technology 00:27:34.62\00:27:37.19 that we have. 00:27:37.22\00:27:38.95 It's been said many times that oh, you know, 00:27:38.99\00:27:42.22 why do we need all these prophecies 00:27:42.26\00:27:44.26 because when you study prophecies it can be confusing, 00:27:44.29\00:27:47.86 it can be hard to understand, 00:27:47.90\00:27:50.13 because it's all of these symbols and you know that, 00:27:50.17\00:27:53.00 but we need to know the prtheophecies 00:27:53.03\00:27:55.34 because the enemy has the power 00:27:55.37\00:28:00.18 to put in our minds and he make us even feel, 00:28:00.21\00:28:04.15 the spirit is infilling and so we have to be just so careful 00:28:04.18\00:28:10.29 and so it's studying and understanding, 00:28:10.32\00:28:14.52 the prophecies are very important, 00:28:14.56\00:28:17.19 'cause when we look at the history 00:28:17.23\00:28:20.50 and where we are the things have been develop... 00:28:20.53\00:28:24.67 they are developing. 00:28:24.70\00:28:26.33 I was listening and actually 00:28:26.37\00:28:29.94 my brother-in-law has sent me a statement 00:28:29.97\00:28:32.47 that has come from the Catholic Church. 00:28:32.51\00:28:35.38 They are uniting all the evangelicals 00:28:35.41\00:28:38.95 because he says and in the 500 years 00:28:38.98\00:28:42.55 of thee reform is going to be the end 00:28:42.58\00:28:45.82 of the reform and the only one 00:28:45.85\00:28:49.12 they are protesting, the Protestant, 00:28:49.16\00:28:52.23 so Adventists are going to be the only ones 00:28:52.26\00:28:54.86 left as a protestor, 00:28:54.90\00:28:56.93 all the other religions are going to come 00:28:56.97\00:29:00.14 in line with a Catholic Church 00:29:00.17\00:29:03.64 and that's been prophesied and it will be fulfilled. 00:29:03.67\00:29:08.24 And it's about to happen apparently. 00:29:08.28\00:29:10.15 Yes, it's happening. 00:29:10.18\00:29:11.61 That's what we just referred to with the signing 00:29:11.65\00:29:14.05 with the Lutheran church of all things. 00:29:14.08\00:29:15.42 Yes. 00:29:15.45\00:29:16.79 And it wasn't an accident 00:29:16.82\00:29:18.15 that they signed that on October 31st 00:29:18.19\00:29:19.65 because they were, 00:29:19.69\00:29:21.02 they were showing this is wrong and we're going forward, 00:29:21.06\00:29:23.93 we're going to erase the past. 00:29:23.96\00:29:25.99 And yet it was the past that brought us into the future 00:29:26.03\00:29:29.46 that brought us new light, 00:29:29.50\00:29:31.37 and we still need to hold on to that, 00:29:31.40\00:29:33.97 and the interesting, I know Pastor Kenny 00:29:34.00\00:29:35.64 was referring to the prophecy, there is only one church. 00:29:35.67\00:29:40.84 We went to Revelation to those two identifying marks, 00:29:40.88\00:29:43.71 says only one church at the end of the prophecy, 00:29:43.75\00:29:45.81 you're talking about the end of the prophecy, 00:29:45.85\00:29:47.28 he was talking about that fits 00:29:47.32\00:29:49.28 those two identifying marks that they keep 00:29:49.32\00:29:51.49 all the commandments of Jesus Christ, 00:29:51.52\00:29:54.16 all ten and they had the Spirit of Prophecy. 00:29:54.19\00:29:58.13 Only one and that's the Adventist church, 00:29:58.16\00:30:00.70 the Seventh-day Adventist movement. 00:30:00.73\00:30:03.06 And so, we have been given an awesome gift 00:30:03.10\00:30:07.90 and it's not a gift that came in 00:30:07.94\00:30:09.40 and change the scriptures 00:30:09.44\00:30:11.34 but it's a gift that came in to help us get ready 00:30:11.37\00:30:13.94 and to line up with scriptures. 00:30:13.98\00:30:16.38 It was that lesser light that continues to lead us 00:30:16.41\00:30:19.91 to the greater light of the word of God. 00:30:19.95\00:30:21.82 You know, someone asked me years ago, 00:30:21.85\00:30:23.99 I was doing a meeting and said, 00:30:24.02\00:30:25.55 do I have to become a Seventh-day Adventist? 00:30:25.59\00:30:28.46 And I said, no, you know, 00:30:28.49\00:30:30.29 what you have to do is find the church 00:30:30.33\00:30:32.49 that keeps all of God's commandments. 00:30:32.53\00:30:34.26 There you go. That's it. 00:30:34.30\00:30:35.63 That's it. 00:30:35.66\00:30:37.00 Now when you find that church, 00:30:37.03\00:30:38.97 look at the name and you join that church. 00:30:39.00\00:30:42.10 Now I'm in this church, 00:30:42.14\00:30:43.47 'cause I think that name fits that pattern. 00:30:43.51\00:30:45.31 Amen. 00:30:45.34\00:30:46.68 But your job is to find a church 00:30:46.71\00:30:48.04 that teaches as much truth as they can possibly be. 00:30:48.08\00:30:50.31 And that's only one side. 00:30:50.35\00:30:51.68 And that's the door you walk in. 00:30:51.71\00:30:53.05 You got to get two, got to get both of them 00:30:53.08\00:30:54.42 because there are some other Seventh-day churches 00:30:54.45\00:30:56.89 but they don't have the second sign, 00:30:56.92\00:30:58.82 they don't have the testimony of Jesus 00:30:58.85\00:31:00.66 which is the Spirit of Prophecy. 00:31:00.69\00:31:02.02 And they don't... 00:31:02.06\00:31:03.43 It is not that the Sabbath is not kept as the Bible says. 00:31:03.46\00:31:06.29 Right. 00:31:06.33\00:31:07.66 It's, you go to church in the morning, 00:31:07.70\00:31:10.03 but then the rest of the day you do whatever you please. 00:31:10.07\00:31:13.13 Oh, yeah. 00:31:13.17\00:31:14.50 So as long as you, you know, 00:31:14.54\00:31:15.87 keep that worship on the Sabbath morning. 00:31:15.90\00:31:19.91 Yeah 'cause Pastor C.A kind of opened it up a little bit 00:31:19.94\00:31:22.78 when you think about, 00:31:22.81\00:31:24.15 if you're looking for the true church, 00:31:24.18\00:31:26.51 and I'll say this not 'cause a lot of people 00:31:26.55\00:31:28.45 who don't understand so on but many people do. 00:31:28.48\00:31:30.85 If you're looking for the real true church of God, 00:31:30.89\00:31:33.76 you go out on Saturday and you start looking. 00:31:33.79\00:31:36.76 You don't look on any other day, 00:31:36.79\00:31:38.53 you just don't do it. 00:31:38.56\00:31:39.89 If you're looking for 00:31:39.93\00:31:41.26 because remember it keep all the commandments 00:31:41.30\00:31:43.10 that's including the fourth, so if you're trying to find 00:31:43.13\00:31:45.60 God's real last day remnant church, 00:31:45.63\00:31:47.90 you begin looking for the Sabbath keepers, 00:31:47.94\00:31:49.67 that's where it really starts 00:31:49.70\00:31:51.04 and that's certainly biblically strong 00:31:51.07\00:31:53.07 and hopefully in the nice way, bless your little hearts, 00:31:53.11\00:31:56.04 somebody may be little jumping up down screen, 00:31:56.08\00:31:57.55 but that's okay, you'll get over. 00:31:57.58\00:31:59.31 But you know, we are to and this is a nice way, 00:31:59.35\00:32:02.58 agitate, agitate, agitate these last day truths. 00:32:02.62\00:32:06.25 That's simply means you just keep bringing them up, 00:32:06.29\00:32:08.49 you keep talking about it. 00:32:08.52\00:32:09.86 And some of you who do this work 00:32:09.89\00:32:11.96 in teaching and pastoring, 00:32:11.99\00:32:13.33 you realize sometime you have to bring 00:32:13.36\00:32:15.00 that point over and over and over, 00:32:15.03\00:32:17.23 and all of a sudden it hits someday to somebody, 00:32:17.27\00:32:20.04 so this, this is part of the message we're talking about 00:32:20.07\00:32:22.60 here in these last days, that God has a people 00:32:22.64\00:32:26.34 and there is things in the word of God 00:32:26.37\00:32:28.08 that we have to line up with. 00:32:28.11\00:32:29.44 I think everybody's made that little clear. 00:32:29.48\00:32:30.85 Let me ask Mollie a question, then we can talk about more, 00:32:30.88\00:32:33.31 because I think about because I hear up again 00:32:33.35\00:32:35.88 you mentioned everybody new light, 00:32:35.92\00:32:37.95 this is something that confuses a lot in Adventism. 00:32:37.99\00:32:40.26 Yes. 00:32:40.29\00:32:41.62 There's new light, there's new light, 00:32:41.66\00:32:42.99 but how can new light, when new light, 00:32:43.02\00:32:45.43 they say new light comes, 00:32:45.46\00:32:46.80 can it really be old light that's been covered up? 00:32:46.83\00:32:51.00 It's kind of a, it's not a trick you know, 00:32:51.03\00:32:53.00 trick question but lot of times... 00:32:53.03\00:32:55.10 How does that become new to somebody old light, 00:32:55.14\00:32:58.14 it's always been, truth has always been, right? 00:32:58.17\00:33:00.28 It's always been, 00:33:00.31\00:33:01.81 and then 30 years later somebody comes up to you 00:33:01.84\00:33:03.85 who has been in the church and they say, 00:33:03.88\00:33:05.21 I have got new light. 00:33:05.25\00:33:06.58 And you say, you know what? 00:33:06.61\00:33:08.25 They were teaching that 30 years ago. 00:33:08.28\00:33:09.98 Oh!

There you go. 00:34:15.92\00:34:17.25 And once you, you should never stay on understanding like... 00:34:17.29\00:34:22.19 Good point. 00:34:22.22\00:34:23.56 Let's say that, you know, 00:34:23.59\00:34:24.93 I understand that the Sabbath is this Sabbath day, 00:34:24.96\00:34:27.33 and that's equal to a Sabbath. 00:34:27.36\00:34:29.26 But we need to go in 00:34:29.30\00:34:32.03 with the invitation of the Holy Spirit 00:34:32.07\00:34:35.20 to show you more about that Sabbath, 00:34:35.24\00:34:38.11 and it's proven then when we read a verse 00:34:38.14\00:34:41.68 and study something. 00:34:41.71\00:34:43.68 And like Mollie said, may be 30 years ago, you know, 00:34:43.71\00:34:47.45 is that have been past 30 years, 00:34:47.48\00:34:49.98 but it could be 10 years. 00:34:50.02\00:34:51.85 And then all of a sudden that is same truth... 00:34:51.89\00:34:56.62 Yes. 00:34:56.66\00:34:57.99 That you read again, it becomes much brighter, 00:34:58.03\00:35:02.00 I look at it as much brighter, 00:35:02.03\00:35:04.60 you find that a word that you read before you understood it, 00:35:04.63\00:35:10.84 but then all of a sudden... 00:35:10.87\00:35:12.21 Come on now. 00:35:12.24\00:35:13.58 Wow, that word has a bigger meaning... 00:35:13.61\00:35:15.44 That's right, yeah. Yes. 00:35:15.48\00:35:16.91 So it's not new light. 00:35:16.95\00:35:18.91 Sometimes we want to go so deep 00:35:18.95\00:35:24.39 that we got to extract something so deep 00:35:24.42\00:35:27.96 and then we go in the deep end, you know, and get out of line, 00:35:27.99\00:35:34.06 because you got to be humble to the Lord 00:35:34.10\00:35:37.37 and you have to teachable. 00:35:37.40\00:35:39.40 Let the Lord really impress you 00:35:39.43\00:35:43.27 and teach you the deepness of that mean, 00:35:43.30\00:35:48.28 you know, that truth 00:35:48.31\00:35:49.64 so we don't go in the wrong direction. 00:35:49.68\00:35:51.78 Something I've noticed too just of late 00:35:51.81\00:35:56.52 is that sometimes 00:35:56.55\00:35:57.89 Satan just recycles heresy in the church... 00:35:57.92\00:36:01.12 Yes, he does. He does. 00:36:01.16\00:36:02.49 Of light in the last few years. 00:36:02.52\00:36:05.33 Someone, you know, they came to us and said, 00:36:05.36\00:36:08.36 can you believe that there are people 00:36:08.40\00:36:11.57 that are now believing 00:36:11.60\00:36:13.94 that even Satan and his cohorts are going to be saved, 00:36:13.97\00:36:16.64 called total, total reconciliation 00:36:16.67\00:36:19.31 and Hal and I said, they went through the church, 00:36:19.34\00:36:21.94 the church that we've, 30 years ago 00:36:21.98\00:36:24.78 we called them total rest, you know, total rest. 00:36:24.81\00:36:29.78 So not only do we does present truth 00:36:29.82\00:36:34.89 that God recycles it for those 00:36:34.92\00:36:37.16 who haven't come into the knowledge of it, 00:36:37.19\00:36:39.39 but Satan will also try to use his error and recycle that... 00:36:39.43\00:36:44.17 Oh, always. 00:36:44.20\00:36:45.53 So we have to be established in God's word. 00:36:45.57\00:36:48.07 Established, that's true, very good. 00:36:48.10\00:36:49.44 I think it's awesome 00:36:49.47\00:36:50.81 because like Pastor C.A pointed out 00:36:50.84\00:36:52.81 and I mention too, 00:36:52.84\00:36:54.18 we're just bombarded with information. 00:36:54.21\00:36:57.21 And people are so confused, they're so drunk, 00:36:57.25\00:37:00.68 it's exactly what the Bible says, 00:37:00.72\00:37:03.32 they are so drunk, 00:37:03.35\00:37:04.69 so confused by all of these different teachings 00:37:04.72\00:37:07.32 and even some of these supernatural experiences 00:37:07.36\00:37:10.23 that they're having, they don't know what truth is, 00:37:10.26\00:37:12.69 and how appropriate it is that Jesus always says, 00:37:12.73\00:37:16.13 be not deceived, be not deceived. 00:37:16.16\00:37:17.90 Come on, now. 00:37:17.93\00:37:19.27 Be not deceived to the law, to the testament. 00:37:19.30\00:37:21.34 Coming back, he always is bringing us back 00:37:21.37\00:37:23.77 and I love how you pointed out, he's always repeating 00:37:23.81\00:37:26.37 because we needed and just how important is it. 00:37:26.41\00:37:31.41 The Bible teaches us that we are to worship Him 00:37:31.45\00:37:33.98 in spirit and in truth. 00:37:34.02\00:37:36.05 There is a lot of spiritism going on out there. 00:37:36.08\00:37:38.39 You bet with that one, yeah. 00:37:38.42\00:37:40.22 But at the end they would rather have the spirit 00:37:40.26\00:37:42.22 because that spirit feels good, the spirit looks good. 00:37:42.26\00:37:47.33 I mean, I've talked, I've read, 00:37:47.36\00:37:49.46 I've had a lot of friends and it's hard to pull away, 00:37:49.50\00:37:52.97 it's like a person that is hooked on cigarettes 00:37:53.00\00:37:57.01 or hooked on alcohol, 00:37:57.04\00:37:58.37 because it takes a hold of all their system. 00:37:58.41\00:38:01.08 And they don't want to let that feeling go. 00:38:01.11\00:38:03.04 That's right. 00:38:03.08\00:38:04.58 I remember years ago back when I was in college, 00:38:04.61\00:38:08.05 a man was giving his testimony 00:38:08.08\00:38:09.58 and he said every time the spirit would come, 00:38:09.62\00:38:11.89 hold up him, 00:38:11.92\00:38:13.25 he'd always feel like coming from the bottom up to the top, 00:38:13.29\00:38:17.03 that was just how he did, that mean everybody does, 00:38:17.06\00:38:19.29 I have no clue. 00:38:19.33\00:38:20.66 But he always felt it start like at his feet and come up, 00:38:20.70\00:38:23.20 and finally one day 00:38:23.23\00:38:24.73 because he was beginning to see things in scripture 00:38:24.77\00:38:27.90 that didn't fit his church, 00:38:27.94\00:38:29.94 and he finally begin to pray and prayer is so important. 00:38:29.97\00:38:32.34 Yes. 00:38:32.37\00:38:33.71 A contrite of heart is vital 'cause God is there, 00:38:33.74\00:38:37.18 He is listening and He is willing to answer your prayer. 00:38:37.21\00:38:39.38 Amen, it's good. 00:38:39.41\00:38:40.75 And he said, God, as he began to feel this come into. 00:38:40.78\00:38:43.69 He said if this is not from you, then take it away, 00:38:43.72\00:38:48.26 gone just like that. 00:38:48.29\00:38:49.86 Just like that it was gone. 00:38:49.89\00:38:52.39 We're to worship in spirit 00:38:52.43\00:38:54.10 and into just like those two identifying marks, 00:38:54.13\00:38:56.67 two identifying marks of our worship 00:38:56.70\00:38:59.10 and whether or not we're going to believe a prophet. 00:38:59.13\00:39:01.94 Did Jesus believe in prophets? 00:39:01.97\00:39:04.11 Absolutely, that those are His mouth piece, 00:39:04.14\00:39:06.37 it's because of Him that we have prophets. 00:39:06.41\00:39:08.64 What was He on that, on the road to Emmaus, 00:39:08.68\00:39:11.68 you know, and He began to expound 00:39:11.71\00:39:13.05 and talk to those and what did He do? 00:39:13.08\00:39:14.78 He want to go to the very beginning. 00:39:14.82\00:39:16.25 Yes. 00:39:16.28\00:39:17.62 And He said, He started what, at Moses and all the prophets. 00:39:17.65\00:39:21.42 Yes. 00:39:21.46\00:39:22.79 Jesus Himself said, He began in all of the prophets 00:39:22.82\00:39:25.16 because His prophets are always speaking what is truth. 00:39:25.19\00:39:28.66 The other ones will expose themselves 00:39:28.70\00:39:30.67 because they'll put little bit of err in there, 00:39:30.70\00:39:32.97 little dab of err here and there, 00:39:33.00\00:39:34.84 if you know the word of God which has been brought out 00:39:34.87\00:39:37.11 wonderfully here to be exposed. 00:39:37.14\00:39:39.17 I'm glad that you brought in that verse, 00:39:39.21\00:39:42.28 that then spirit and in truth. 00:39:42.31\00:39:46.45 Some, many years back a good friend of mine, 00:39:46.48\00:39:51.39 we were discussing some Bible passage 00:39:51.42\00:39:57.09 and she said, she didn't realize 00:39:57.13\00:40:00.73 that everything has to be in spirit and in truth. 00:40:00.76\00:40:05.53 And I never, it never struck me so clearly as then 00:40:05.57\00:40:10.74 and it's always been my, with me that do I... 00:40:10.77\00:40:17.71 Is my life in spirit and in truth, 00:40:17.75\00:40:20.12 if what I say is in spirit and in truth 00:40:20.15\00:40:22.92 because that is so to me, it seems very vital, 00:40:22.95\00:40:26.79 because we can go one way and another. 00:40:26.82\00:40:29.42 We can think that we are doing all the right things, 00:40:29.46\00:40:31.73 or saying all the right things, 00:40:31.76\00:40:33.70 but if it's not in the spirit and in truth, 00:40:33.73\00:40:36.83 it's just coming from you, 00:40:36.87\00:40:38.57 it's coming from a prideful spirit, 00:40:38.60\00:40:42.70 you know, prideful humanity and desires to look better, 00:40:42.74\00:40:47.94 or to sound better 00:40:47.98\00:40:49.31 and so it's applying to what we are talking about 00:40:49.34\00:40:54.42 also on the teachings of God and teaching... 00:40:54.45\00:40:59.69 If the Lord give us an understanding, 00:40:59.72\00:41:02.62 it's not for us to, oh, the Lord, 00:41:02.66\00:41:04.73 I'm prophesying because the Lord told me reason, 00:41:04.76\00:41:08.33 that's not the spirit whereby it doesn't explain, 00:41:08.36\00:41:13.07 or doesn't reveal what God really wants us to understand. 00:41:13.10\00:41:17.54 Yes. 00:41:17.57\00:41:18.91 We don't want to confuse the gift of prophecy 00:41:18.94\00:41:21.04 with the office of the prophet, two entirely different things. 00:41:21.08\00:41:24.75 And with the gift of prophecy 00:41:24.78\00:41:26.38 maybe there is some forthtelling 00:41:26.41\00:41:28.32 but with the office of the prophet, 00:41:28.35\00:41:30.12 when that prophet speaks, 00:41:30.15\00:41:31.99 in 2 Chronicles 24:18-19 it talks about, 00:41:32.02\00:41:36.76 the prophet and why they would speak and it says, 00:41:36.79\00:41:39.39 "Therefore they left the house of the Lord God 00:41:39.43\00:41:41.73 of their fathers, 00:41:41.76\00:41:43.10 and served wooden images and idols, 00:41:43.13\00:41:45.67 and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem 00:41:45.70\00:41:48.84 because of their trespass." 00:41:48.87\00:41:50.61 Remember when all of this was going on in the kingdoms. 00:41:50.64\00:41:53.74 Verse 19 says, "Yet He sent prophets, 00:41:53.78\00:41:57.25 God sent prophets to them, 00:41:57.28\00:41:59.98 to bring them back to the Lord." 00:42:00.02\00:42:01.35 Amen. 00:42:01.38\00:42:02.72 The purpose of the prophet is always to bring restoration. 00:42:02.75\00:42:06.86 Amen. Amen. 00:42:06.89\00:42:08.22 And he says, "And they testified against them, 00:42:08.26\00:42:10.46 but they would not listen." 00:42:10.49\00:42:11.83 And so often that's the case, you know, 00:42:11.86\00:42:14.06 when a prophet stands in our midst, 00:42:14.10\00:42:16.26 what are they going to do? 00:42:16.30\00:42:17.63 What does the prophet do? 00:42:17.67\00:42:19.00 Drops a plumb line, right? 00:42:19.03\00:42:20.84 Will track down in the middle of the church 00:42:20.87\00:42:22.54 and drops a plumb line. 00:42:22.57\00:42:23.91 The church can do one of two things, 00:42:23.94\00:42:26.04 straighten the wall, or kill the prophets. 00:42:26.07\00:42:28.64 Yeah. 00:42:28.68\00:42:30.01 I want to just build a little bit on what she said, 00:42:30.05\00:42:33.62 coming from Spirit of Prophecy, 00:42:33.65\00:42:35.22 Mrs. White wrote this, she says, 00:42:35.25\00:42:37.19 "There are those who will be glad to lull you to sleep 00:42:37.22\00:42:40.62 in your carnal security." 00:42:40.66\00:42:42.26 Many of us have security, whether it's money, houses, 00:42:42.29\00:42:45.89 lands, businesses, whatever it is. 00:42:45.93\00:42:48.83 And we feel like we're holding on to those, she says, 00:42:48.86\00:42:51.93 but I have a different work, my message is to alarm you, 00:42:51.97\00:42:57.57 to bid you to reform. 00:42:57.61\00:42:59.71 Now why would we need to reform? 00:42:59.74\00:43:02.04 Because we formed. 00:43:02.08\00:43:03.95 Huh? Reformed, so we got to reform. 00:43:03.98\00:43:06.28 Reform, reform, reform is the wrong word. 00:43:06.31\00:43:09.05 Precisely I got to reform. 00:43:09.08\00:43:10.59 Okay, exactly so we got to reform 00:43:10.62\00:43:11.95 into the image of God. 00:43:11.99\00:43:13.32 Precisely. Yes. 00:43:13.36\00:43:14.69 We have fallen from grace and so, 00:43:14.72\00:43:16.36 we need to be reformed and be fit 00:43:16.39\00:43:17.79 for the kingdom of heaven. 00:43:17.83\00:43:19.16 Amen. 00:43:19.19\00:43:20.53 She says, "Reform your lives, 00:43:20.56\00:43:21.90 and cease your rebellion against the God, 00:43:21.93\00:43:24.80 the God of the universe." 00:43:24.83\00:43:26.60 You see so many people are rebelling 00:43:26.63\00:43:28.90 and they don't even realize it many times. 00:43:28.94\00:43:30.27 Right. 00:43:30.31\00:43:31.64 And that's why 3ABN, Behold the Lamb, 00:43:31.67\00:43:34.34 all these ministries are so important. 00:43:34.38\00:43:37.18 They are vital. 00:43:37.21\00:43:38.55 It is vital that this message continues to go 00:43:38.58\00:43:41.32 out of the airways 00:43:41.35\00:43:42.68 that we can continue to come in your home 00:43:42.72\00:43:44.75 and have family worship because people are in rebellion 00:43:44.79\00:43:48.82 and many times it's because of their ignorance 00:43:48.86\00:43:51.03 and Bible says because of lack of knowledge 00:43:51.06\00:43:55.06 my people perish, 00:43:55.10\00:43:56.46 so this is a source of knowledge 00:43:56.50\00:43:58.83 and instruction and discernment. 00:43:58.87\00:44:00.50 You know, when I just pray this somehow some, 00:44:00.54\00:44:03.10 someway God will continue to work with my mind 00:44:03.14\00:44:05.74 so that all these things that He puts in 00:44:05.77\00:44:07.54 will begin to come out at the right time. 00:44:07.58\00:44:09.98 You know, one of the things that Mollie said, 00:44:10.01\00:44:11.68 I think it's so very, very important, 00:44:11.71\00:44:13.45 the prophetic office includes forthtelling 00:44:13.48\00:44:15.92 as much as foretelling. 00:44:15.95\00:44:17.62 And if you look at Isaiah, Jeremiah, 00:44:17.65\00:44:21.22 the bulk of their ministry was corrective, was remedial, 00:44:21.26\00:44:24.79 was telling kings, wrong, got to straighten that up. 00:44:24.83\00:44:29.13 And that's a tough way to earn your dollar, you now. 00:44:29.16\00:44:31.53 It's a tough way to live. 00:44:31.57\00:44:33.03 But it's a great part of that prophetic gift 00:44:33.07\00:44:35.24 because you're getting messages directly from God 00:44:35.27\00:44:37.27 for the people that are going to impact their lives now 00:44:37.31\00:44:39.64 and of course impact the future. 00:44:39.67\00:44:41.88 So a lot of that prophetic gift is just laying in on the line 00:44:41.91\00:44:45.25 and telling their people their sins, 00:44:45.28\00:44:46.85 showing them their error, 00:44:46.88\00:44:48.35 and then trying to get them to correct that error 00:44:48.38\00:44:50.15 so that they can be in right relationship with God. 00:44:50.19\00:44:51.52 Amen. Come on, go ahead now. 00:44:51.55\00:44:53.86 I was just... 00:44:53.89\00:44:55.22 Jeremiah we did a study, 00:44:55.26\00:44:56.76 the whole quarter on Jeremiah in Sabbath school 00:44:56.79\00:45:00.40 and I taught most of those lessons 00:45:00.43\00:45:02.60 and I came to the realization 00:45:02.63\00:45:04.30 that I don't want to be a prophet. 00:45:04.33\00:45:06.50 Poor Jeremiah, he, there was one time he just told God, 00:45:06.53\00:45:10.31 I'm not turning to you anymore, 00:45:10.34\00:45:12.54 but then what happened with him 00:45:12.57\00:45:15.14 is the word burned in his bones and he couldn't keep it quiet, 00:45:15.18\00:45:18.88 but being a prophet isn't an office that you want to go, 00:45:18.91\00:45:21.78 oh, yes, I can do that, because you have, 00:45:21.82\00:45:24.49 you don't just get to deliver with praying. 00:45:24.52\00:45:26.76 You have to deliver the hard word 00:45:26.79\00:45:30.99 that the Lord will bring to a church. 00:45:31.03\00:45:32.36 You're right. 00:45:32.39\00:45:34.00 I mean even, you know, John the Baptist, 00:45:34.03\00:45:35.76 you know as the prophet, I mean look what he was, 00:45:35.80\00:45:37.70 you know, confession for Satan and sin, 00:45:37.73\00:45:39.83 baptism, you know, repentance, calling, 00:45:39.87\00:45:41.70 what we should be doing today too, 00:45:41.74\00:45:43.07 and it's not popular either. 00:45:43.10\00:45:44.44 No. 00:45:44.47\00:45:45.81 It's not, you know, 00:45:45.84\00:45:47.18 sometime we want to sit down a little bit 00:45:47.21\00:45:48.54 and God will do like He did in the word, He said, 00:45:48.58\00:45:49.91 what are you doing laying down there? 00:45:49.94\00:45:51.28 Yeah. 00:45:51.31\00:45:52.65 What you're doing son, let's get up and get going, 00:45:52.68\00:45:54.02 we have a message, running with that message 00:45:54.05\00:45:55.38 because as the 2 Chronicles 20:20. 00:45:55.42\00:45:58.25 You believe the prophets, you're going to what? 00:45:58.29\00:45:59.75 Prosper. 00:45:59.79\00:46:01.12 So shall you prosper, so God is clear in His word, 00:46:01.16\00:46:03.66 believe the prophets, test them by the word of God. 00:46:03.69\00:46:07.76 If they prove faithful then follow them. 00:46:07.80\00:46:10.77 It may be different what the world is doing, 00:46:10.80\00:46:12.73 praise God, it needs to be. 00:46:12.77\00:46:14.14 You know, it may be denying of self, it has to be. 00:46:14.17\00:46:17.51 If my character need to be what it needs to be, 00:46:17.54\00:46:20.21 first of all I have to let self die. 00:46:20.24\00:46:22.68 Self has to die. 00:46:22.71\00:46:24.05 Christian character cannot be perfect 00:46:24.08\00:46:25.41 as long as self is still alive. 00:46:25.45\00:46:26.78 That's right. 00:46:26.82\00:46:28.15 And that's why Jesus said, when they came to Him, 00:46:28.18\00:46:30.39 deny self, then take up the cross, right? 00:46:30.42\00:46:33.36 That make sense and then follow Me, 00:46:33.39\00:46:35.09 because you're not about to pick up a cross. 00:46:35.12\00:46:37.19 You're not about to go to the king 00:46:37.23\00:46:38.79 and say you need to get your life right 00:46:38.83\00:46:40.20 when your heading the world, 00:46:40.23\00:46:41.56 unless you by the grace of God self is gone 00:46:41.60\00:46:44.53 and no longer was passing, 00:46:44.57\00:46:46.00 no longer I but Christ when self is really gone... 00:46:46.03\00:46:48.84 Yeah. 00:46:48.87\00:46:50.21 Was that in Galatians 2, will come to life when it says, 00:46:50.24\00:46:53.81 it's not I, but Christ who lives in me you see. 00:46:53.84\00:46:57.25 We're going to appear as it were 00:46:57.28\00:46:58.61 but it's is no longer me. 00:46:58.65\00:46:59.98 I want where it's no, it's not me, it's not you, 00:47:00.02\00:47:02.68 it's not you that are at home, it's Christ who lives in us. 00:47:02.72\00:47:06.15 When you meet somebody, Lord, have mercy on us. 00:47:06.19\00:47:08.92 Let them see Jesus pray. 00:47:08.96\00:47:10.73 No, I don't want them to see me. 00:47:10.76\00:47:12.09 Well. 00:47:12.13\00:47:13.46 I don't know if anybody's that would be, 00:47:13.50\00:47:14.83 but I don't want them to see me. 00:47:14.86\00:47:16.30 I want them to see Christ. 00:47:16.33\00:47:17.67 I can't change and have not changed anyone 00:47:17.70\00:47:19.03 in my whole life. 00:47:19.07\00:47:20.40 Right. 00:47:20.44\00:47:21.77 I cannot do it on my own, but Christ who lives in me. 00:47:21.80\00:47:25.17 Christ lives through His representative the Holy Spirit. 00:47:25.21\00:47:28.74 Where the Holy Spirit is present, there is joy, 00:47:28.78\00:47:30.85 there is peace, there is conversion, 00:47:30.88\00:47:32.21 there is conviction, there is repentance, 00:47:32.25\00:47:33.98 there is change of life. 00:47:34.02\00:47:35.42 That's what we need I believe as we're talking here we did, 00:47:35.45\00:47:37.89 yes, the gift of prophecy, 00:47:37.92\00:47:40.06 I don't know what I do without it, 00:47:40.09\00:47:41.42 it's been such a help to me in my life 00:47:41.46\00:47:44.13 since my mind is simple, I need the simple things, 00:47:44.16\00:47:46.59 I like to hear it straight, I like to know what it is, 00:47:46.63\00:47:49.26 I like to come to grips with it, 00:47:49.30\00:47:50.77 and let the Holy Spirit say now, 00:47:50.80\00:47:52.13 Kenny, you make a decision what you're going to do. 00:47:52.17\00:47:54.27 And I want to make that decision 00:47:54.30\00:47:55.64 by the grace of God. 00:47:55.67\00:47:57.01 So we live in that hour that this subject 00:47:57.04\00:47:59.17 that we're doing today is vital to God's last day people. 00:47:59.21\00:48:02.94 You said in the beginning if we ever needed help, 00:48:02.98\00:48:05.78 God have mercy, we need it now. 00:48:05.81\00:48:07.15 Need it now. 00:48:07.18\00:48:08.52 I don't want to get that, 00:48:08.55\00:48:09.95 you know, say, oh, I just want, we need help now. 00:48:09.98\00:48:13.52 We need help now in the Adventist church, 00:48:13.56\00:48:17.13 in every church. 00:48:17.16\00:48:18.79 We need the truth, 00:48:18.83\00:48:20.33 we need the spirit of the living God 00:48:20.36\00:48:22.33 to come into our hearts and minds and to listen 00:48:22.36\00:48:24.70 because the devil is taking the world... 00:48:24.73\00:48:26.67 It's deceiving. 00:48:26.70\00:48:28.04 Deceive the whole world 00:48:28.07\00:48:29.40 and all the world wandered after the beast 00:48:29.44\00:48:30.77 and there are those whose names are not written 00:48:30.81\00:48:32.61 in the Lamb's Book of Life. 00:48:32.64\00:48:34.24 I've read that when I was a young person, 00:48:34.28\00:48:35.88 I read as I got older, 00:48:35.91\00:48:37.25 and many times I wept over that verse. 00:48:37.28\00:48:39.31 I just can't get it, 00:48:39.35\00:48:40.68 I can't say that's the way it's going to be. 00:48:40.72\00:48:43.08 I keep saying no, God's great. 00:48:43.12\00:48:45.35 God's going to have His work. 00:48:45.39\00:48:46.86 When He says all wandered after beast. 00:48:46.89\00:48:49.26 And then I'm so thankful later on, 00:48:49.29\00:48:50.63 it identifies a group, you know, 00:48:50.66\00:48:52.89 they keep the commandments of God 00:48:52.93\00:48:54.60 and have a testimony of Jesus, so one for that group, 00:48:54.63\00:48:56.87 I just gave up, say, what's the use?

It is. 00:51:31.05\00:51:32.39 It is a hard thing to get a double, 00:51:32.42\00:51:33.76 that means double waiting, double working, 00:51:33.79\00:51:35.12 double watching, double responsibility, 00:51:35.16\00:51:36.83 it's a hard thing, yet it's necessary. 00:51:36.86\00:51:40.30 Yes. 00:51:40.33\00:51:41.66 See what I want is just enough Holy Spirit 00:51:41.70\00:51:43.03 to do what God wants me to do at this point in my life. 00:51:43.06\00:51:44.70 That's what I want.
