FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
TRUE BIBLE SANCTIFICATION
“The sanctification set forth in the Scriptures has to do with the ENTIRE BEING—spirit, soul, and body.
“Here is the true idea of entire consecration. Paul prays that the church…may enjoy this GREAT BLESSING: “The very God of peace sanctify you wholly: and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thess. 5:23, KJV.

THE SECRET OF WHY THE SANCTUARY DOCTRINE IS IGNORED OR OPPOSED BY MAINSTREAM CHRISTIANITY
“Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man shutters; and shutteth, and no man openeth.” Rev. 3: 7, 8.
These “doors” refer to the door to the holy and door to the most holy places of the heavenly sanctuary where Christ has been ministering as our merciful High Priest since His ascension after His resurrection two thousand years ago in 31 A.D.
Of the faithful believers of the Advent Movement who were studying the prophecies, “None could fail to see that if the EARTHLY sanctuary was a FIGURE or a PATTERN of the heavenly, the LAW deposited in the ark on earth was and EXACT TRANSCRIPT of the law in the ark in heaven; and that an ACCEPTANCE of the truth concerning the heavenly sanctuary involved and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the claims of God’s law, and THE OBLIGATION OF THE SABBATH OF THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT.

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK;
ACHAN’S SECRET SIN EXPOSED PUBLICLY BY GOD. “For God will bring every secret thing into judgment, whether they be good or evil.” Eccl. 12:14.
Continuing from yesterday: “God’s command has been disregarded by of those appointed to execute His judgments. And the NATION was held accountable for the guilt of the transgressor. THEY have even taken of the accursed thing
and have also STOLEN, and DISSEMBLED also’ instruction was given to Joshua for the discovery and punishment [judicial procedures] of the criminal. The [casting of] lots was to be employed for the DETECTION of the guilty. The sinner was NOT directly pointed out, the matter being left to DOUBT for a time, that the people might FEEL their RESPONSIBILITY for the sins existing among them, and thus be led to SEARCHING of HEART and HUMILIATION before God.

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
ACHAN’S SIN CAUSED DEFEAT OF ISRAEL’S ARMY IN CANAAN. (See Judges 7: 1-26 first).
“But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things….for Achan took of the accursed things, so the anger of the Lord burned against the children of Israel.” Verse 1.
Achan means “trouble.” He is also called Achar. After their miraculous victory of taking down the massively-fortified city of Jericho, Joshua led the army to attack a small town called Ai. “The hearts of the people melted and became as water.” Joshua “rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eve tide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.”

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT. “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” Exo.20:14.
Jesus magnified this law by declaring: “You have heard that it was said to those of old ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever LOOKS at a woman to lust for her has ALREADY committed adultery with her in HIS HEART.” Matt. 5: 26,27, NKJV.
“When the thoughts of evil is loved and cherished, HOWEVER SECRETLY, said Jesus, it shows that sin STILL reigns in the heart. The soul is still in the gall of bitterness and in the BOND[AGE] of iniquity.

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
THE SECRET OF UNANSWERED PRAYER
“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matt. 26:41, KJV.
Yes, you read it right. As there is a secret and a divine science to answered prayer, there is also a secret for the exact opposite!
But who in the world of praying Christians would ever want to know this “secret” at all? It is so counterintuitive you may say. But of course.

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
PRAYER.
Jesus said: “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray. . . . that they may be seen by men. Assuredly I say to you, they have their reward.
But when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. But when you pray do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do.
