Today's Text:
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:13, 14

The Message:
It is not enough in this time of test and trial to have merely an intellectual knowledge of the truth. Heart work must be done. "Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isaiah 57:15.
The soul temple must be cleansed, and the experience of many must be seen in its true light. The buyers and the sellers must be driven out, and the Spirit of God must take possession of heart and mind. Let none question their need of a personal Savior. The Lord cannot use the worker into whose experience true conversion has not entered. Character must be formed after the divine pattern. We are to work with Christ in the forming of character after the divine similitude.
The Lord does not accept worldly policies for the carrying forward of His work. This spirit must not come into the management of our conferences. The work given to the human agent is to copy the character of Jesus Christ. Shall worldly policies be allowed to hide the principles of men who claim to be doing the work of God? I say, No; no. The agencies of God and satanic agencies cannot combine. While so many are saying, Who is the Lord, that I should serve Him? While there prevails a lack of faith in God, let those who represent the work of the third angel's message act like converted people. Let them wrestle with God in prayer. When our men in official positions are fully converted, they will advocate the truth for this time in every line of their work. I am hoping that we may have the satisfaction of seeing a work done that is free from selfishness and that will rapidly advance work in missionary lines.
Isaiah, speaking of the mission of Christ and His followers, says: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.
"And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations." Isaiah 61:1-4. "Thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach; the restorer of paths to dwell in." Isaiah 58:12.
If ever there was a time in the history of Seventh-day Adventists when they should arise and shine, it is now. No voice should be restrained from proclaiming the third angel's message. Let none, for fear of losing prestige with the world, obscure one ray of light coming from the Source of all light. It requires moral courage to do the work of God for these last days, but let us not be led by the spirit of human wisdom. The truth should be everything to us. Let those who want to make a name with the world go with the world.
The great conflict is right at hand in which all will take sides; in it the whole Christian world will be involved. Daily, hourly, we must be actuated by the principles of the Word of God. Self must be sanctified by the principles of the righteousness, the mercy, and the love of God. At every point of uncertainty, pray and earnestly inquire: Is this the way of the Lord? With your Bibles before you, consult with God as to what He would have you do. Holy principles are revealed in the Word of God. The source of all true wisdom is found in the cross of Calvary.
Everywhere we see increasing evidence that the message we have from God is to be the last message of warning to the churches of the world. Yet year after year is passing into eternity, and the churches are unwarned. I am instructed to speak to my brethren and sisters and to ask, Are we conscious of the neglect? I have been given message after message for our leaders, encouraging them to begin work in every place where the way shall open. If laborers would go forth to the work, the Lord would bless their own souls and would make their efforts fruitful. As the people hear the reasons of our faith, they will become interested and will be converted. There are many important places open to those who will work for souls.-Letter 94a, 1909.

Commentary:
My friend, the last message of warning that is to go to the world is the three angels message. It is the everlasting gospel that is to be preached with the power of the Spirit of God. Even in the time of Ellen White this message was not being given as it should. The leaders of the church at that time were looking to their own wisdom to spread the message, and she had been given message from God to awaken them to seek after Him rather than to look unto the world. But they would not.
Today, we are in a worse condition than we were over a hundred years ago. The leaders of the church have been corrupted by the drinking of the wine of Babylon. Rather than to rely upon the Spirit of Lord to complete the work, we have looked unto the fallen churches of Babylon that we may emulate their apparent success. Of this the Lord sends a message of rebuke saying "...and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:" (Revelation 3:17).
The people that are to bring the last message of warning to the world have been corrupted by the wine of Babylon. Through the adoption of the Babylonian god of the trinity, the leaders of the church have corrupted the people and have led them to worship a false god. As such the Spirit of the Lord is not among us. The church is no longer led by the Spirit of Christ, but is being led by the spirit of another. Christ says "Behold, I stand at the door and knock:" (Revelation 3:19).
Satan has successfully infiltrated the leadership of the church and has corrupted the people by the doctrine of the trinity. As such the last message of hope to the world has also been corrupted. The focus of the first angels message, which is to prepare the people to give the message to the world, has been changed from the One true God, to the Sabbath. While this may not seem like a bad thing, it separates the message from the source of its power.
The people have been directed to look to keeping the Sabbath as the seal of God, while they are led to neglect the God that the Sabbath points to. Speaking through Ezekiel the Lord said "Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them." (Ezekiel 20:12). The power of the first angels message is not the Sabbath, for the Sabbath sanctifies no one. It is the LORD that sanctifies. In the last days only those who have been first sanctified by God, will be sealed by standing firm for the Sabbath in the last days.
The whole of the Christian world, to include the Seventh-day Adventist Church, has accepted the trinity as God. Thus the message that must go to the world is to call the world back to worship the One true God through His Son Jesus Christ, "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." (Revelation 14:7). Who is the true Creator of heaven and earth? It is the Father. "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:" (Ephesians 3:9).
My friend, we must preach the three angels message to the world, but unless we are connected to One true God through His Son Jesus Christ, this message will not be attend by the Spirit of God. If we are worshiping God in the form of the trinity, we cannot be filled with His Spirit. Now is the time for us to awaken to the deception that has been played upon us. Now is the time that we are to throw off every weight of sin that is holding us back from truly doing the Lords work.
My prayer to you today is that you will heed the message of the first angel, and turn away from the false god of the trinity unto the One true God through His Son Jesus Christ today.
God bless,

| Is the SDA church the Remnant? |
Many SDA pastors, preachers and members are right now declaring the SDA church is the remnant church. But is that possible? Can they be BOTH the 9th AND 11th hour church prophecy speaks of? Or are they lying to try and confuse the masses? See what the Bible says!
