I believe you’re right. I, for one, don’t know much about Operation Global Rain. I just heard about it, because I have been out of the country for a while. But What I’ve read makes sense. Except I think something very important is missing, and that’s unity.

Brother Eric, I agree with you too. I am ialso praying and trying to understand what we should do next…

I have been praying for you since I saw you last comment about being at home with a disability. I too have this very same problem. I used to give, bible studies often, preach, was a fulltime Literature Evangelist too. But I felt pretty help-less for the last few years. I have some health problems that grew out of my old careless ways of living,before I knew the truth that the Lord has shown me now. I do not get to church as much anymore, so every sabbath for about the last two years that I did not go to church I would watch 3abn all day and I have been writing a book about the truth and light that the Lord has giving me. I finished the book and Remnant Publications agreed to publish it, it will be completed soon. The book is about God’s Love in the 4 Angel’s Messages, Righteousness by Faith and Last Day Events. It is titled Convincing Evidence of God. As I said I felt helpless and wanted to share my faith, truth,love,lightand experience with others, but can not get as round as much… So I prayed and ask the Lord how I can help and He inspired me to write this book.

So, I think the next step is to ask God, what he wants us to do personally and to give us the Christ like character and inspiration to do it. And to keep encouraging Christ like love and unity among all SDA’s. But understanding that not all will unify, there maybe only 144,000 who do become united all in one accord that the Lord will use mightly.

Blessings, Matthew

I do no

To all readers, please ignore the words I do no… after my name in my comment to eric ‘what do we do next’ this is a typing error that I did not catch was supposed to be a part of another sentence and that and a few other errors I would like to correct but I do not see any options to edit these comments. Sorry, I should of proff read better first. Please pray for my health and for my wife and children too!

blessings, Matthew

Thank you all for your comments. I sense that there are a growing number of people who see things in the same light.

Thanks for the prayers matt, I will be praying for you also. I believe that God is willing to heal in these last days, if we have that “living and active faith” that Ellen White talked so much about. May God help you as you finnish your book. I hope it will acomplish even more good that you have dared to hope!

God bless!

What do we do now?

Why were we as a people given the Sabbath blessing as the first of ten promises of blessings to focus upon?

Well, if we would never take the time for being with our Creator and Teacher, how would we ever even be able to learn anything about any of those ten blessings?

Therefore time is first, or doesn’t that make sense?

—

Once we do accept the blessings of the Sabbath, what then? What’s the object of the Sabbath time? Well, what’s the very first word in the Fourth promise of blessings to His People?

What do we need to “Remember?” Well, why is the Sabbath the Last Day of the week and not any other? Isn’t it because the last day of the week is the one and only day when you could possibly look back in time and consider the fullness of that time period while still being in it, or doesn’t that make sense?

Isn’t there an important principle hidden in this?

Why is our beloved SDA organization and its organizations falling apart whereas not very many years ago it kept growing and growing in activity, action and blessings of healing all over the planet? Healing families, healing relationships, healing lives, healing bodies…

Could it be that we have not been sufficiently aware of the importance of applying the Sabbath principle of remembrance in thought as well as action?

Have we, as a people as well as individuals among the people, failed to look back over the years of successes and failures for the purpose of learning and mending our ways in accord with the instructions of our One and Only Teacher?

Recently I was made aware of a book entitled The Broken Blueprint by Vance Ferrell.

Once I started reading this book I was impressed that this book was bringing it all together: What has been our experience as a Seventh-day Adventist people? What were the causes that led to successes of healing on a worldwide scale?

What are the causes that are still leading us on a spiraling path towards destruction, apathy, and falling away from our beloved church and faith?

Who among us is willing to ‘remember’ and then to stand up and do or to stop doing in accord with God’s clear guidance to each of us and regardless of misguided peer pressure from church members or popularly chosen “leaders” among us who are acting more like tails than heads?

Who is willing to take responsibility? Who is willing to take their orders not from men but from none but Him who is the Sovereign above all? Who is willing to stop contributing their God given powers to such as is contrary to God’s will? Who is willing to look and really see the self-destructiveness in which we are all too willingly participating? Who is willing to act as dead meat when the “public servants” are trying to make any of us comply with “public policy” such as is leading us as sheep towards the slaughter houses all around us and unto which we have grown used and accustomed as if such are unavoidable and an necessary part of life?

Am I willing? Are we, first one, then two, three, four… among us willing? Willing to realize that there is a third option? Besides assisting and resisting there is truly a third and most effective option: The option of neither assisting nor resisting. The option of acting as dead meat in any and all actions of self-destruction. Or isn’t that the reality of being dead to sin as taught by the bible?

That is not impossible, is it? All it takes is to do nothing. Where we have previously freely participated in such actions, all that’s necessary is to begin doing nothing more of the kind! Such actions as we may have felt we’ll have to live with “until Jesus comes back the second time,” we can simply stop contributing towards?!

Is it too hard to do nothing? Does it take too much courage to do nothing? Is it too difficult to freely obey God when God tell us “Don’t…” or “Thou shalt not…?”

Can God not be trusted?
