HOW DANIEL OVERCAME AND WAS BLESSED WITH WISDOM

December 16, 2019

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

HOW DANIEL OVERCAME AND WAS BLESSED WITH WISDOM.

“When Daniel was in Babylon, he was beset with temptation of which we never dreamed, and he realized he must keep his body under. He purposed (chose, decided, committed, willed) in his heart that he would not drink if the king’s wine or eat of his dainties. (Dan. 1:8).

He knew that in order to come off a victor, he must have clear mental PERCEPTIONS, that he might DISCERN between right and wrong. While he was working on his part, God worked also, and gave him ‘knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” Dan. 17.

HOW WE BECOME CONQUERORS

December 11, 2019

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

HOW WE BECOME CONQUERORS.

Jesus said, “I am the true Vine. . . . Every branch that does not bear fruit is cast away, and every branch that bears fruit He PRUNES, that it may bear MORE fruit. . . .By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.” Matt. 15:1,2,8, NKJV.

What kind of fruits? See Gal.5:22-26. When your faith wavers and are tempted to give up, remember God permits divinely-calibrated, divinely-measured-and-controlled obstacles and trials in order to test, develop and perfect faith, not discourage us! Thus: “When we are hedged about on every side, this is the time above all others to trust in God and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

SUFFERING FOR CHRIST’S SAKE?

November 20, 2019

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

SUFFERING FOR CHRIST’S SAKE?

“If anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this matter…Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God, commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.” 1 Pet. 4: 16,19.

“Many who profess the name of Christ, and profess to be looking for His speedy coming, know not what it is to suffer for Christ’s sake. Their hearts are not subdued by grace, and they are not dead to self; but it often appears in various ways; and at the same time they are talking if having trials. But the  principal cause of their trials is an unsubdued heart, which make self so sensitive, that is so often crossed.

COOPERATION WITH DIVINITY IS VICTORY

October 14, 2019

WEEKLY QUOTE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

COOPERATION WITH DIVINITY IS VICTORY.

“Let no man present the idea that man has little or nothing to do in the great work of overcoming; for God does nothing for man without His co-operation. Neither say that after you have done all you can on your part, Jesus will help you (Not “God helps those who help themselves.”) Why? “Jesus said, ‘Without Me you can do nothing.”

From first to last we are to be laborers together with God. And unless the Holy Spirit is allowed to work in our hearts, we will stumble and fail at every step. Man’s efforts alone are nothing but worthlessness; but cooperation with God means victory.

How is the ‘House of Jacob is Replenished from the East’?

Friday Morning Manna            January 18, 2019

Nathaniel Fajardo                      email: [email protected]

How is the ‘House of Jacob is Replenished from the East’? 

“Therefore Thou hast forsaken Thy people, the house of Jacob because they are replenished from the east [‘filled with Eastern ways, N.K.J.V.].” Isaiah 2:6, K.J.V.

“Prophets are subject to prophets” and “no prophecy is of any private interpretation.” (1 Cor. 14: 32; 2 Pet. 1: 20). Thus, following in the line of prophets and their thread of prophecy, E. G. White explains in today’s language what John expressed in prophetic language: “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.” Rev. 16: 13, 14. What are these?

The Three-fold Union of Romanism, Apostate Protestantism and Spiritualism—not Islam

Here’s the early stage of the final threefold union of religion of Revelation 16: “By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation [the United States] will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. WhenProtestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp the hands of Spiritualism, when under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous workings of Satan and that the end is near!” – E. G. White,Maranatha, p. 190.

QUOTES FOR THE WEEK

— Both from the inspired pen of Ellen G. White

Every rationally-minded Christian already knows it by heart. Reminders not needed.

So think those who, in their hearts, say, “I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’
