Where Are the Called is a new sermon series that Pastor Brandon Korter will be preaching over the next few Sabbaths.

A Long, Long Time Ago

When the first Star Wars Movie came out in 1977, the first statement made was: “A Long, Long Time Ago”. When Roots ( television series ) came out people spent much time researching their genealogy. We as Christians should also look at our roots.

Ezekiel 28:14-18
The Story of Lucifer

14 “ You were the anointed cherub who covers;
      I established you;
      You were on the holy mountain of God;
      You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
       15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
      Till iniquity was found in you.
       16 “ By the abundance of your trading
      You became filled with violence within,
      And you sinned;
      Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
      Out of the mountain of God;
      And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
      From the midst of the fiery stones.
       17 “ Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
      You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
      I cast you to the ground,
      I laid you before kings,
      That they might gaze at you.
       18 “ You defiled your sanctuaries
      By the multitude of your iniquities,
      By the iniquity of your trading;
      Therefore I brought fire from your midst;
      It devoured you,
      And I turned you to ashes upon the earth
      In the sight of all who saw you.
     
This is the story of light versus darkness, good versus evil, followers of Christ versus followers of the Devil. Christ has always had faithful followers. God has always had a people on this earth.

Imagine a time when this earth had no sin and no evil. God was sitting on His Throne looking over His creation. He gave created beings a choice:

Ability to Love and Obey the Creator
Chose to Go Against God

By giving us human beings a choice, God took a risk. It is a high form of True Love – Giving the Right to say yes or no to God. That is True Love.

God’s highest angel was Lucifer ( means the shining one ). In Ezekiel 28:12,14 the Bible shows that Lucifer was most perfect and closest to God. Lucifer felt he should be elevated. There are only two other beings that stood with God in Heaven: Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Lucifer’s promotion never came.

In Ezekiel 28:17, Lucifer becomes filled with pride and jealousy. Lucifer wasn’t thinking straight. Lucifer had a false picture of himself: ( best, biggest, pride, exaggerated sense of one’s own importance ). This set Lucifer up for sin.

The middle initial of sin is ‘I’. Lucifer concluded that either the problem was with God or himself. Because Lucifer was not thinking right, he said that God is not truthful. Lucifer worked to convince one third of the angels of heaven that God was not right.

Revelation 12:17
And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The war in heaven was like Star Wars. The battle between Christ and Satan ( Lucifer ) had begun. Do you want Christ to come again?

A tragic day came that changed the history of earth forever. Eve did not want to wander away. The world was without sin. The Bible tells us that the Devil went to all the other worlds to tempt them and they did not fall into sin. The Devil came back to the earth and tempted Eve with the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden.

Eve fell to temptation. Then Adam ate of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. Most of us today have a way to go ourselves to fill at ease with God. How does this apply to us?

God wants us to see this today. God wants us to see how sin causes us to break away from Him. Do you have anger, fear or are uneasy about God?

The separation of sin is keeping us from seeing Jesus as He really is. The greatest separator is sin. When Jesus hung on the cross He said: “My God, why have you forsaken me?” Jesus carried the load of all the earth’s sin-an immense burden-and was in agony.

The whole purpose of sin is to keep us away from God. We begin to blame God for the pain our own sin brings to us. We treat Him like a frowning father – an outright enemy. When we get in trouble, have a tragedy, or suffer grief, Satan presses us to put the blame on God. If you are such a God of Love, why am I going through this?

Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity
      Between you and the woman,
      And between your seed and her Seed;
      He shall bruise your head,
      And you shall bruise His heel.
     
This is the first Bible promise that Jesus would save us. The word seed refers to Satan’s seed and Eve’s seed. Eve’s seed comes from Jesus. Jesus head was bruised. The Devil tried to destroy Jesus but he could not. Jesus went to the cross and took the full penalty of our sin. We cannot comprehend how much love that took and will learn more about God’s love when Jesus comes to take us to heaven.

The same pleads and cries that God made to Lucifer to repent and turn around is no different than what Jesus is doing today. God went after Lucifer. God pleaded that Lucifer would come back and be restored but Lucifer said: No, I don’t want to have anything to do with you. The war in heaven in Revelation 12:17 went on for a very long time.

Jesus is now pleading with you today just like He did with Lucifer. God says: “I created you, love you and want you next to me. I will elevate you to be higher than the angels when Jesus comes.

It is easier to be saved than to be lost. Some people think salvation is so difficult. God never intended for one human to be exposed to hell fire at the coming Judgement Day. Some people keep responding: No, No, leave me alone to Jesus. How could we ever say no to a God that loves us so much? A God so loving that He pleaded with Lucifer for a very long time and sent Jesus into the world to save all of us.

Jesus knows your heart. The wonderful news is that one day soon, this war will be over. God has had, has now and will always have a loyal people that follow Him. Faithful followers. Jesus is asking you today: “Do you want to be a faithful follower?” Will you make a full and complete surrender to Jesus today? Will you accept Him? Just ask as He is waiting for you!

Here are some practical ways to help detox the liver. These steps are part of Dr. Chappell’s natural approach to liver detox. Dr. Chappell has been studying and practicing Naturopathic Health for over 40 years.

1. Perform an Enema. You can use a fresh squeezed lemon or just follow Dr. Chappell’s instructions about a Coffee Enema on the call below:

Enema

2. Perform a Dry Skin Brushing after your enema. Take a brush that is safe to brush your skin. Use a circular motion from the right rib cage area towards the heart. Do the brushing for about 3 minutes. You are removing dead skin cells, opening up the pores of your skin, and moving blood in your lymphatic blood vascular system.

3. Take a shower and wash your body and hair if needed. When finished with your shower, alternate the water from as warm as possible to as cold as possible. This hot and then cold treatment will help with the elimination of toxins from your body. You only need to spend 30 seconds or so on the cold part of the hot – cold cycle.

4. Create a castor oil poultice. Take a flannel cloth and dab some castor oil on it to be able to cover your liver. Lie down in bed with this cloth attached to your body around the right rib cage where your liver is. Place either a heating pad on low or a hot water bottle over the poultice. Lay on that side as long as possible.

A friend from church called me and shared that she is feeling much healthier since using Caldera Greens. Luz Silva has a spa and beauty shop. She uses her hands frequently during the day and shared the following statements with me. She is not online yet but said she is going to learn computers since her son is using them every day now.

Luz said her hands were numb and now she has all the feeling back in her hands.

Luz also stated that her digestive system is working much easier now.

Luz said that she has much more energy now and has stamina all through the day. Luz is in her early 40’s.

United States in Bible Prophecy

Most people are not aware that the USA is in Bible Prophecy.

Revelation 13:11
The Beast from the Earth
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

Pay special attention when the Bible says the word ‘earth’. There are two beasts mentioned in Revelation 13. In verses 1-10 the beast is Papal Rome where the Bible mentions comes up out of the sea.

There are four names for the devil used in the Bible:

Devil
Dragon
Lucifer
Serpent

In verse 11 the beast is the USA.

Revelation 12:1
The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
In Bible prophecy the woman represents ( symbolizes ) the Church. The woman is clothed in the ‘Word of God’ ( sun ). The moon gets its light from the sun. The moon represents the gift of prophecy which is the testimony of Jesus. The crown of victory represented by the garland of twelve stars. The church is the body of Christ. If you are saved and in the church, you have the Victor’s Crown. Praise the Lord!

Jeremiah 6:2
I have likened the daughter of Zion to a lovely and delicate woman.

Isaiah 51:16
And I have put My words in your mouth;
      I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
      That I may plant the heavens,
      Lay the foundations of the earth,
      And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’

Can you see how important God’s church is? Be very careful about being a hypocrite, about back biting, back stabbing or any other un Christian behavior. The Church is full of people who have problems. These people realize that Jesus is the answer. Young people get frustrated when they see bad behavior from adults and leave the church.

2 Corinthians 11:2
For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Christ is the Head of the Church.

Revelation 12:1-6
The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon
 1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

A third of the angels were deceived by Lucifer and were flung to the earth as demons. The woman flees from the dragon.

Revelation 12:13-16
The Woman Persecuted
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

During the 1,260 years, Papal Rome persecuted the Waldenses, the Ostrogoths and other tribes in Europe. God repeated verse 6 in verse 14 which means pay close attention to that verse. The Dark Ages of World History are revealed in verse 15. If you had a Bible during this time, you were killed. The Waldenses passed little pages of scripture amongst themselves during this time.

The serpent spewed water means Papal Rome sent out armies to destroy the tribes that were not following the Papacy. The earth helped the woman ( earth opened up its mouth and swallowed the river ).

In the early 1600’s, the Pilgrims came to Earth fleeing persecution. The Pilgrims were 102 people seeking religious freedom and endured 67 days at sea to flee persecution. This is the only time in the History of the World that this has happened. When the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts, they were so far away from the dragon that they were finally safe. The USA is a safe place for the Church to dwell.

Revelation 13:11-18
The Beast from the Earth
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

The fatal wound was healed in 1929 when Mussolini declared the Vatican its own sovereign power. The Papacy is now more powerful than it has ever been. In verse 14, the image to the beast ‘a likeness’ means the devil wants worship. In verse 15, worship is clearly the issue. God wants worship per the Ten Commandments ( Love the Lord Thy God ). Sunday worship is the image. The Papal authorities met with the two American ambassadors to the Vatican and asked for the USA to establish a Sunday Law in 2005.

Matthew 10:21-22
21 “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

Don’t be scared about this prophecy because Jesus will protect you.

This webinar is about sharing the best value in whole food nutrition in this video and interviewing Barbara about her experience with Caldera Greens.

Our bodies are electric. The food we eat either adds to our life force or is void of energy. It all depends on what you put in your body. Eating foods as grown is the best way to ensure that you are putting energy into your blood stream so your cells will thrive and rejuvenate.

When you eat dead food the hertz (hz) cyclical rhythm is very low ( between 5-20 hz ). Dead food is processed and packaged foods. Your body needs at least 60 hz to function properly. We can get plenty of protein from seeds, plants, and sources other than dead animals. You will greatly lower the amount of fat in your diet which will help your body start healing itself. You will also lose some weight if you are eating a diet of plants, seeds, and legumes.

Here is a link to an interesting article about health that talks about rhythm:
Journal of Medicine

The weight loss smoothie that has Caldera Greens in it has over 100 hz. That is why many people that use the Caldera Greens get benefits. Most people say they feel more stamina and are more alert. I am noticing more energy and stamina for walking in the park.

Luz Silva cuts my hair and she told me she suffers from pain in her hands. The first thing she recognized when using Caldera Greens was that the pain had subsided.

Daniel Parsons

The Mark of the Beast
In Daniel chapter 7, God shows us the big picture in verses 1-7. Then in verse 8 God laser focuses on the horn that has destroyed 3 of the 10 Kingdoms: Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Hurlei.

Daniel 7:1-8
Vision of the Four Beasts

1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts.
2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
5 “And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’
6 “After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.

In Daniel 7 verses 20-21 and 24-25, God repeats what was stated in earlier verses which stresses the importance of understanding. It is easy to identify the Little Horn.

20 The ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.
21 “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them.

24 The ten horns are ten kings
      Who shall arise from this kingdom.
      And another shall rise after them;
      He shall be different from the first ones,
      And shall subdue three kings.
   25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
      Shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
      And shall intend to change times and law.
      Then the saints shall be given into his hand
      For a time and times and half a time.

1. Comes up Among 10 Kingdoms
2. Arises after 476 AD
3. Speaks great words – Blasphemes – Has ability to forgive sins
4. Subdues 3 Kingdoms/Horns
5. Different
6. Eyes like a man (Human) singular leadership
7. Persecutes
8. Rules for a Time, Times, and 1/2 Time ( 1260 Years )
9. Change Time and the Law

History of the world is revealed in the Bible in Daniel’s dream. The Little Horn power is Papal Rome. There are only 2 totally worldwide churches today. One is Catholic. In Revelation Chapters 12 and 17, the woman mentioned represents the church.

There was much persecution during the Dark Ages. You either became Catholic or you were executed. In 508 AD, the Vandals were stamped out by Papal Rome. In 538 AD, the Ostrogoths were destroyed. This persecution went on for over a thousand years. When the Pilgrims came in the early 1600’s, they were trying to get away from persecution from Papal Rome. In 1798, the beast received a wound when the Pope was put in prison by Napoleon’s General Berthier.

Jesus was accused of blasphemy by the Scribes and the Pharisees. The Pope claims the ability to forgive sins which is blasphemy.

Revelation 13:1-3
The Beast from the Sea

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.
 
There are seven hills at the Vatican. In Revelation 13:4-10, the Bible is once again repeating what was already said in Daniel 7.

Revelation 13:4-10
4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Remember the Bible is exposing the beast ( Papal System ) not the Catholic people. There are fine Catholic Christians all over the world and there will be many Catholics in God’s Kingdom.

The Pope is the King of the Vatican. The Vatican has ambassadors from over 105 nations of the world. The United States has 2 ambassadors to the Vatican. All Bishops, Cardinals, Priests, and Nuns must swear allegiance to the Pope.

Revelation 13:17-18
17 That no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

What is 666? It is the Identity of the Beast – A Man’s Number. Now we can compare Daniel 7 and Revelation 13.

1. Out of the Sea ( Multitude of Nations Revelation 17:15 )
2. Deadly Wound Healed ( 1929 Mussolini recognized Vatican as its own power )
3. Speaks Great Words – Blasphemy
4. Rules for 42 months ( There are 30 days per month in Jewish calendar – 42 x 30 = 1260 )
5. Makes War with the Saints
6. World Worship
7. Leads Into Captivity ( Dark Ages )

Knowledge of the Scriptures were lost during the 1260 years. God raised up Martin Luther who was a Catholic Bishop. Luther unlocked the Bible, studied it and read it. Luther proclaimed: ” The Just will live by Faith”.

Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 reveal the same thing and reveal the Identity of the Beast. Pagan Rome turned into Papal Rome.

Genesis 4:15
And the LORD said to him, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the LORD set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.

God put a mark on Cain. It is not a visible mark. The whole issue about the mark of the beast revolves around worship. Jesus cannot come until the man of lawlessness has been revealed.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-6
The Great Apostasy

1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
 
John 17:17
Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

There are over 285 denominations saying they have the truth. You find the truth in the Bible. Study Your Bible!

Ezekiel 20:11-12
11 And I gave them My statutes and showed them My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them.’ 12 Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

God’s sign is the Sabbath. Once again, it is all about worship.
Verses 19-20
19 I am the LORD your God: Walk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and do them; 20 hallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’

If God has a sign, does it make sense that Satan also has a sign? A counterfeit?

Exodus 31:12-18
The Sabbath Law

12 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’” 18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

Romans 4:11
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also.
 
A sign is the same as a seal. The counterfeit has to look like the original. In the Catholic Catechism there are two questions to explore.

Question: What day is the Sabbath Day? Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath Day.
Question: Why do we observer Sunday as the day of worship? Answer: The Catholic Church had the solemnity to transfer the worship day from Saturday to Sunday.

Sunday worship is the Mark of the Beast. The letters on the Mitre of the Pope are:

Vicarius Filii Dei which means the Vicar of the Son of God. If you take the Roman Numeral for each of the letters of the Latin for Vicarius Filii Dei, the total adds up to 666.

Revelation 14:6-7
The Proclamations of Three Angels
  
6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

This was our Wednesday night Bible study at church this week.

Send Me an Email

To be in love is a wonderful experience. Do you remember the day you told others about your love for your spouse? When your spouse answered your proposal, you were on cloud nine. You called everyone, sent emails to your friends, wrote letters to people-you let everyone know of your joy. You could not contain your happiness.

If you are not in love, you won’t tell anyone. Something very similar happens in our relationship with Jesus. We will want to tell everyone about Him. It is impossible for Salvation and Witnessing to exist apart from each other. This happens because the Holy Spirit is working in your life. When a person has experienced conversion, the Holy Spirit takes control of your heart and you will witness to others about Jesus.

John 1:37-42
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?”
They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), “where are You staying?”
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).
40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus.
Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is translated, A Stone).

Jesus deliberately turned around and asked: “What are you seeking?” The disciples wanted to know where Jesus was staying. Then Andrew had an automatic reaction and fell in love with Jesus. Andrew became a witness right away which is a sign of true conversion. Andrew had to find someone he could share Jesus the Messiah with and witness to them. Andrew went to his brother and shared Jesus.

This is an example of what Jesus is asking of us. We have the greatest news in the entire world. The most fantastic message of the Bible is Jesus the Messiah and salvation is available to all men. God wants us to understand Jesus is coming again. People are out there that need to hear about Jesus. The testimony of a friend is far more powerful than a stranger. Sharing Jesus is a lifestyle and a culture. Evangelism means you are telling the Good News. Evangelism is a way of life.

God has given us the opportunity to witness. One hundred and two Pilgrims sailed on the Mayflower to have opportunity to practice their faith. Jesus gives me an opportunity and I will tell someone about Him. I can share Jesus with a friend, a neighbor, a worker in the office, a student at school, or people I meet in business. You can share what Jesus has done for you. God has asked you to get people ready to live in the Promised Land.

The Pastor’s role is to preach and teach how to win people for Jesus. Just be a friend and introduce others to your friend Jesus. Andrew did not have to be trained, he brought his brother to Jesus right away. Just tell people the practical things. Share how Jesus has delivered you from any life problems. Invite your friends to church and Bible Study. Be warm and friendly with each other. Study the Bible together in your homes as it is impossible to keep Jesus a secret.

This kind of love is tender and compassionate and draws people to you. Here is a true story. A doctor was driving along the road one day and by the side of the road there was an injured dog. The doctor stopped and had compassion and took the dog to his house. He cleaned up the dog, set the broken bone the dog had suffered from, and cared for the injured animal. The dog loved the doctor. The dog got well and one day disappeared. One day the doctor heard a scratching noise at his door. There was the dog with another dog that had a broken leg. The dog that had gotten well went out and shared the compassion of the doctor with other dogs.

Witnessing is the key to keeping your Christian witness alive. When we are in love no on has to tell us how to be in love.

Revelation 2:4-5

4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.

If we are unwilling to witness or share our experience with Jesus with someone else, it means we are lost. It is impossible for a saved person to not witness for Jesus. When you witness you save your own soul. Here is another true story.

A man was traveling outside on a cold winter day and started to freeze from exposure. This man heard the moaning of another traveler that was also freezing. The first traveler took the second man to safety and in so doing stimulated his limbs and warmed himself up enough to stay alive. The first travelers vigorous efforts to save another man saved his own life. The same thing with someone who loves Jesus.

It is impossible to stay quiet about Jesus. I may have not been witnessing before, but I want to learn how to witness to others.

This was the sermon preached by Pastor Korter at Bellingham on Sabbath, 5. February 2011.

Encouragement is a gift that we can offer others and ourselves. A listening ear, a warm shoulder to lean on, a helping hand, and an understanding heart offer support through the challenges and changes of life. When you make a conscious choice to be an encourager, you become God’s helping hand of support, inspiring courage, hope, confidence in the midst of a weary world.

When your best girlfriend tells you about her pet project, you respond with an enthusiastic “What a great idea! I know you’ll make it happen.” When the man in your life shares his hopes and dreams, you reinforce his self-worth and repel negative thoughts. You quietly say, “Yes, you can” instead of “Yes, but.” You’re not afraid to say something positive to others. These phrases are often a part of your conversation:”I love you because…” “I see in you…” “You’re so good at…” “I like the way you…” “I know you will…”

Here are some tips for being a better encourager:

1. Be specific and tell people in detail exactly what you like about them, what you have observed that can help them.

2. Be honest and kind. No flattery allowed. You want to point out the positives, yet be someone who offers a dependable perspective, not a flattering lie.

3. Be positive and confident. Express doubts with care and try to offer alternatives when you think someone is being unrealistic.

4. Be spontaneous. Listen to what your heart says and be willing to speak it.

5. Don’t worry abou how your encouragement is received. People are insecure and often don’t know how to take praise. They often need time to revise the way they look at themselves. Just keep believing the best for them, even when they are afraid to believe it for themselves.

6. Be consistent. Focus on the positive, make it a lifestyle. Make encouragement a habit.

7. Offer suggestions, not advice. Honor each person’s choices and believe in others’ ability to navigate their own course. You may disagree with their decisions, but you have to respect their choices.

8. Finally, be your own best encourager. Count your blessings. Be careful of the company you keep-don’t spend too much time with negative people who tear one another down. Focus on the larger vision, knowing that God has called you to a unique work in this world Give yourself time, space, and grace. Ask Him to help you find purpose in your pain and disappointments. Believe for the best.

Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25

Daniel 2
Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
 1 Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him. 2 Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, “The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king. 28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, were these:

Daniel 7:1-7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts.
2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
5 “And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’
6 “After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.

Rome was a leader in metal technology as they created the best ships, spears, swords and knives. Rome was able to wipe out Greece then over 600 years later broke apart due to immorality and corruption. Rome stopped funding the military and the ten tribes starting attacking and Rome was broken up. Up until 476 AD the leader in Rome was the Emperor.

25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
      Shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
      And shall intend to change times and law.
      Then the saints shall be given into his hand
      For a time and times and half a time.

The greek word zemaan means appointed time. The Jewish Calendar had 360 days in it. Here is the interpretation of time, times, and half a time:

Here is the sermon given by Pastor Korter at Bellingham, Washington Seventh-day Adventist church today.
Many Christians are wandering in their faith today. There is a solution. When we give our life to Jesus we have a new nature.
Matthew 4:4
But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
In this scene, Jesus is in the desert being tempted. Jesus overcame temptation. How many of us want a victorious or a happy life? It is written means if you really want to live.

How can I be a Christian if I am not feeding the new nature? We are born with a human nature that is sinful. We need to read and study the Bible. This is not a duty for converted Christians. The scribes and pharisees read and studied the scriptures because it was a duty. When we ask for Jesus to come into our lives, we then need to feed our new nature.

God’s word – The Holy Bible – is a love letter given to you. We love feeding our other interests. A sincere conversion will cause us to want to feed our new nature. It is natural to not enjoy being with someone you do not love. If we look at the Bible as a boring book of characters and their struggles or as most amazing love letter ever written then we will want to spend time in the Bible. You can read stories in the Bible of people just like you and me.

A mechanical reading of the Bible has very little impact on us. We risk being a miserable Christian – we risk leaving the Church. Here are some practical suggestions as you open up your Bible. Try to apply the message to your life. We need to learn how to enjoy feeding the new nature. What is this verse trying to tell me? Tell God what you think about the message and how you can apply the message to your life.

Enjoy your conversation with God. Every time you see the word ‘you’ or ‘we’ put the word ‘I’. Put your own life into the pages of the Bible.

Romans 8:31
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Replace the pronouns in the above scripture sentences with ‘I’ and ‘me’.
What then shall I say to these things? If God is for me, who can be against me?

Share your fears and frustrations with God. If the new nature is not being fed, there is an automatic separation. There is unlimited power and strength in God. Read the Book “Steps to Christ” page 100. A copy of Steps to Christ was give to every single service man and woman in World War II.

Nothing is too small for God or Jesus. This is basic and elementary but most difficult to put into practice. Pray any place, anywhere, at any time. Pray when driving down the road. God wants us to understand there is no set time for prayer and meditation with Him. We can immediately begin to experience the joy that comes with spending just 15 minutes with the Lord. You can increase your time spent as you experience the joy and happiness.

The reasons churches end up dead is that members are not feeding the new nature.
Do you want the Holy Spirit poured out where you are?
Do you want your church to grow?
Do you want your church to be a loving, kind, and warm church?

The answer is basic: Feed the New Nature!

Pastors don’t grow churches. The pastor is a shepherd. Sheep produce sheep.

If you want victory over sin, start feeding the new nature. The Bible is the most action packed thrilling book ever written. If I am feeding my new nature will I leave Jesus or the church? NO!

People can be hurt or wronged. If you know you have hurt someone – it is your Christian duty to ask for forgiveness. God won’t allow us to abandon His Word when we are feeding the new nature. HE never gives us a trial we cannot bear. We will have no desire to do ministry and share Jesus with others if we are not feeding our new nature.
