Chapters

00:00 - 02:00: Worldly Focus and Heavenly Attractions This chapter discusses the conflict between worldly pursuits and heavenly aspirations. It highlights how an intense focus on accumulating earthly possessions can overshadow spiritual values, diminishing the appeal and perceived reality of heavenly wonders. The chapter suggests that one's emotions and interests will align with material investments, potentially leading to a loss of appreciation for eternal treasures.
02:00 - 06:00: Gratitude and Praise The chapter titled 'Gratitude and Praise' seems to discuss the theme of focusing one's mental faculties on a chosen work so intensely that it leads to the neglect of spiritual duties. It warns about becoming so absorbed in worldly tasks that one ignores the guidance and warnings from God and the importance of maintaining a connection with spiritual practices like studying scriptures and prayer to avoid Satan's snares and remain obedient to Heavenly Father.
06:00 - 09:00: Welcoming First-Time Guests This chapter discusses the mindset and focus required for welcoming first-time guests, emphasizing a shift away from worldly concerns. It highlights how prioritizing material accumulation can lead to a loss of appreciation for spiritual matters and heavenly attractions. The chapter encourages readers to reevaluate their thoughts and plans to better appreciate eternal glories.
09:00 - 12:00: Introduction: The Main Ingredient This chapter, titled 'Introduction: The Main Ingredient,' discusses the diminishing reality of the world when our focus shifts solely to surviving on Earth, as opposed to seeking spiritual or heavenly aspirations. The text references biblical teachings, quoting Apostle Paul and Jesus on the importance of seeking higher, spiritual values over earthly treasures.
12:00 - 18:00: Righteousness and the Coming World The chapter discusses the theme of righteousness in the context of the anticipation of the coming world. It emphasizes the idea that if our treasures and focus are solely on earthly matters, our thoughts and hearts will be less preoccupied with the coming of Christ. This highlights a spiritual perspective where valuing divine treasures more than earthly ones aligns our hearts closer to God.
18:00 - 24:00: Judgment and the Law The chapter 'Judgment and the Law' reflects on gratitude and divine intervention. The speaker expresses deep thankfulness to God for various aspects of life, including health, freedom, and spiritual guidance. They highlight appreciation for being free from addiction, possessing physical mobility, and having the support of others' prayers. The chapter also acknowledges the influence of religious figures such as Ellen White and the Pioneers, emphasizing the importance of having access to God's word and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
24:00 - 33:00: God’s Blueprint for a Righteous Life The chapter titled 'God’s Blueprint for a Righteous Life' reveals the significance of gratitude and worship in living a righteous life. It begins with appreciating the freedom of worship and continues with an expression of constant praise and thankfulness towards God. The speaker emphasizes personal and collective magnification of God’s name, indicating that rejoicing and exalting God are foundational to a righteous life. Humility and happiness are underscored, as the humble shall hear and be glad, rounding off the concept that a life dedicated to God's praise is not only righteous but joyful.
33:00 - 42:00: Call to Obedience and Closing Appeal The chapter titled 'Call to Obedience and Closing Appeal' opens with a unifying call-and-response asserting that 'God is good all the time.' This interaction, repeated with different groups (sides and those outside), emphasizes the omnipresence and constancy of God's goodness. The speaker encourages participation and visibly gauges the audience's love for God by asking them to raise their hands, noting the slow response from some individuals. The chapter appears to aim at reinforcing faith, unity, and openness to express one's religious devotion, culminating in urging a sincere and open acknowledgment of belief.

13:00 - 13:30 word Wicked another word demonic yes demonic indeed this is Satan's World another world another word condemned yes this world is everything except righteous let's go to Revelation 12 take a look at this world the main ingredient is our
13:30 - 14:00 subject Revelation 12 we'll read verse 9 a very familiar verse to S the Adventists do you have that last book of the Bible chapter 12 reading from verse 9 when you found that amen and the Great Dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world stop if he deceives the whole world tell
14:00 - 14:30 me something about the whole world it's in sin what else is it blind willfully willfully The World Is Blind let us go to 1 John chapter 5 our subject the main ingredient 1 John chapter 5
14:30 - 15:00 the person who wrote Revelation is also the same person who wrote first John chapter 5 we read verse 19 and may God put his spir his word in my mouth and his spirit in my mind do you have 1 John 5:19 read with me now we know that we are of God come on and the whole world lieth in wickedness now in in Revelation 12:9 the
15:00 - 15:30 Bible says the devil deceives the whole world 1 John 5:19 and we know that we are of God and the whole world lith in wickedness now look at John 1 1 John 5:19 carefully what does the whole world what two groups are in that verse you're taking too long there are two groups in that verse what are they
15:30 - 16:00 okay this side first group what did you say I'll come back to you this side first group we we you see we are we what's the second group the whole world now if he says we and we are in the world we are not part of the whole world that's in wickedness are you with me no you're not let me try again it's my fault

16:30 - 17:00 listen again listen I insist on thinking listen to the words and we know who is we the disciples Paul John is writing about we are of God we are of God that's a group and the whole world life now let me ask you this very simple question which group is larger the world now since it's the whole world how large do you think this group is
17:00 - 17:30 small now go back to Revelation 12:9 don't let anyone interrupt your thinking Revelation 12:9 do you have that just a few books to the writ of First John all right we read together and the Great Dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world what do you understand by
17:30 - 18:00 the whole world in that verse come on the whole world except except except a a few except a listen to me carefully there are very few people on Earth whose eyes are enlightened by truth
18:00 - 18:30 he deceiveth the whole world go to Genesis 6 this is nothing new go to Genesis 6 Genesis 6 this is the chapter in which God tells Noah he'll send the flood we read from verse one do we have Genesis 6 verse one I'll pray Father in Heaven please control me in my speaking and my thinking in Jesus
18:30 - 19:00 name I ask amen and it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the Earth and daughters were born unto them that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair and they took them wives of all which they chose and the Lord said my spirit shall not always strive with man for that he also is flesh yet his day shall be 120 years years there were giants in the earth in
19:00 - 19:30 those days and also after that when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bear children to them the same became Mighty Men which would of old men of renown read verse 5 with me and God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually look at the verse again and God saw that the wickedness of man was great where in the
19:30 - 20:00 earth look at verse 11 read with me the Earth also was corrupt before God and the Earth was filled with violence this is no different from John saying the whole world are you with me go to verse 12 and God looked upon the Earth and behold it was corrupt for All Flesh had corrupted his way upon the Earth All Flesh the same as the whole world in
20:00 - 20:30 Revelation 12:9 the same as the whole world in 1 John 5:19 but except in the days of Noah 8 go to verse 13 read with me and God said unto Noah the end of All Flesh is come before me except the end of eight what am I trying to say from the days of Noah until now most people have not followed
20:30 - 21:00 God but most people go to church it's heartbreaking because the Bible says the Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some meant come slackness but his longsuffering to us were not willing that any should perish a God who would prefer to save everyone we'll have to watch as most are lost because most are
21:00 - 21:30 not interested in truth they may be interested in church not in truth because truth changes your life truth is often inconvenient it must be when it comes up against sin all right now let's go back to our key verse second Peter chapter 3: 13 having read that Christ will come back and the Earth will be burned verse 13 of 2 Peter 3 the Bible says when you
21:30 - 22:00 found it amen so we can read together it is 20 after 7 we are in good time 2 Peter 3:13 do you have that read with me nevertheless we according to his promise look for new heavens and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness now the world that is coming is a righteous world this world is

39:30 - 40:00 person has prayed for me I still love all those before me move upon the hearts of others to pray because I need the support of the Saints now continue to speak to me father in Jesus name amen read with me nice and loud now what does it say there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made
40:00 - 40:30 me free from the law of sin and death keep reading for what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh carefully now God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemn sin in the flesh finish the verse that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled where in us who walk not after the flesh but but after the spirit Jesus Christ came to demonstrate
40:30 - 41:00 that the same way the righteousness of the law was expressed in his life that righteousness can be expressed in our lives that's why he condemns It In the Flesh what he's saying is look I took your condition I took your Fallen nature and I lived an obedient life you can do the same I did it by depending on my father you can do it by depending on me Jesus by his life has told us this life you
41:00 - 41:30 can live a righteous life in other words The Life of Christ is the law expressed is anyone An Architect no all right what does an architect work from H what does he work from if he's
41:30 - 42:00 building a building or she what does the person have to have a blueprint or a plan the architect looks at the blueprint he knows where every electrical outlet goes where the sink goes the bathroom tub the lights for the bedroom he knows where everything goes he sees the house by looking at the blueprint now when the house is built that's the
42:00 - 42:30 blueprint in action are you following me but the house is everything the blueprint says the law of God is God's blueprint God is the architect what is he building perfect lives this is the blueprint when you give your life to God through the power of the spirit the spirit enables us to live out that blueprint in a practical
42:30 - 43:00 way let me say differently a woman or a man takes flour water milk eggs salt sugar cinnamon some whatever else baking powder whatever a little whatever and makes a cake are you following me all the ingredients on the table are the same in the cake are you with
43:00 - 43:30 me when you eat that cake you are eating all the ingredients mixed together that produce a cake the law of God the Commandments are the ingredients the cake is your life and part of that cake is remember the Sabbath there to keep it holy or something with will be missing have you ever seen someone taste and say
43:30 - 44:00 it needs salt or it needs Caya and Pepper or it needs saw dust it needs something it needs something when we produce a cake of a life minus the Sabbath God said it's missing something it's missing something and what is it missing the main ingredient huh righteousness because the Sabbath command is
44:00 - 44:30 righteousness now someone may be saying well he hit the Sabbath yesterday he's hitting it today why I don't need to hit the other nine no one fusses when you say thou shalt not kill they are happy aren't you glad your neighbor doesn't kill aren't you glad your neighbor doesn't Chase your wife does not commit adultery aren't you glad your neighbor doesn't steal
44:30 - 45:00 yes don't get rid of those laws keep them aren't you glad your neighbor does not covet what you have we have no problem with nine we have a problem with one that's why I have to hit it God gave us 10 commandments not
45:00 - 45:30 nine how many of you have ever studied statistics no one nobody nobody oh yeah okay hands all over now in statistics 9.7 is what all right let me put it easier in statistics 8.9 is what nine you round off are you with me ah come on I'm talking to myself you round off in statistics you don't round off in math two and two
45:30 - 46:00 make more do two and two make in the Philippines what's two and two four not four and a half 2 and two four four and four 8 8 and 8 16 in statistics 8.7 9 8.4 8 so you run a survey plus or minus five not with God when you take your exams if if you score 90% you pass you're on the honor
46:00 - 46:30 roll not with God God gave 10 commandments what's the pass Mark 10 or 100% mhm 10% uh 100% is God's pass Mark that's why we need Jesus are you with me he came and passed 100% And so he could say if he keep my Commandments he shall abide in my love even as I have kept my
46:30 - 47:00 father's Commandments and abide in him I did it now do it through my power the main ingredient is righteousness some of us are lacking that ingredient and God sent this series of meetings to tell someone there's an ingredient lacking in the cake of your life no matter how much icing you put on
47:00 - 47:30 it it lacks an ingredient go to Mark chapter 7 and I'm coming to the it's already quarter to eight I have to go to eight please don't be angry I'll go to eight not Beyond Mark 7 we read from verse 6 brother Mark was not one of the 12 disciples nor was
47:30 - 48:00 Luke do you have Mark chapter 7 reading from verse 6 read with me what does that say he answered and said unto them what well hath isias prophesied of ye Hypocrites saying what saying what saying what this people come on honth me with their lips come on but their hearts are
48:00 - 48:30 far from me you come to church praise the Lord be blessed stay blessed remain blessed Hallelujah lips their hearts are far from me read the next verse how be it in vain do they worship me come on teaching for Doctrine the
48:30 - 49:00 Commandments of men this is very frightening and serious you cannot base your relationship with God on a manmade commandment what do you understand by in vain do they worship me what do you understand by that in vain meaningless and is harsh but it's true meaningless to
49:00 - 49:30 God in vain truth rescues people from meaningless worship let me tell you a secret when people have major decisions to make they always ask they always consider what someone else may think what will she my father say what what will my mother say what will my ex-wife
49:30 - 50:00 say not what will God say not what what will my friend say what will my colleagues on the job say what will my boyfriend Say Never what will God say and remember God is the lawgiver who can save come on and Destroy we consider the views of everyone else except God and there a lot of people observing Sunday because of
50:00 - 50:30 what other people think and say and they will not change even though they see the truth why what will I tell my husband tell him the seventh day is the Sabbath what will I tell my friends my family has been in this church since 1652 how can I change the world has been in sin for 6,000 years God wants you to to change I want you to ask yourself what
50:30 - 51:00 will God say if I turn my back on The Truth Listen to me as your brother God accepts ignorance but here is the ignorance he accepts I didn't know I had no way of knowing that's the ignorance God accepts not the one in 2 Peter 3:5 for this they willingly are ignorant of when you say
51:00 - 51:30 well I heard that man last night I'm not coming back because he made me feel badly that's not ignorance in the eyes of God are you with me that is not ignorance that is arrogance that's presumption running from truth you know who's truth Jesus when you run from truth to whom are you running don't tell me you know the answer what's our subject final verse let's nail down the
51:30 - 52:00 identification of righteousness Deuteronomy 6:25 then I'll pray Deuteronomy 6:25 it's uh 12 minutes to 8 Deuteronomy 6:2 Father in Heaven as I end this message give me the final words to speak in Jesus name I pray amen Deuteronomy
52:00 - 52:30 6:25 I want you to read that carefully we're putting the final touch on the law as righteousness are you there read carefully with me now what does it say and it shall be our righteousness if we observe to do come on all these Commandments before the Lord Our God as he hath commanded us now think with me if we observe to do give me one word
52:30 - 53:00 for that obedience then give me another word for righteousness obedience let's finish the verse and it shall be our rightousness if we observe to do all these Commandments before the Lord Our God as he has commanded as not Constantine or the pope as
53:00 - 53:30 he not Mother Teresa not Donald Trump not Rodrigo duterte God bless him hope he's not listening as he my brothers and sisters as he has commanded us and he never commanded you to observe Sundays or Sabbath Never change
53:30 - 54:00 change there's a trick the devil pulls on people don't accept Christ until you know everything when will that day come it'll never come you know the seven days of Sabbath keep it what's our subject [Music] describe the world that's
54:00 - 54:30 coming describe the standard of judgment describe the judge describe the crown describe the law how many of you will share with me listen to this quotation first before I make this call listen carefully the man who attempts to keep the Commandments of God from a sense of
54:30 - 55:00 obligation merely because he's required to do so will never enter into the joy of obedience he does not obey when the requirements of God for the law are accounted a burden because they cut across human inclination we may know that the life is not a Christian Life True obedience is the outworking of a principle within it Springs from the love of righteousness the love of the law of God the essence of all loyalty
55:00 - 55:30 the essence of all righteousness is loyalty to Our Redeemer now catch this this will lead us to do right because it is right because right doing is pleasing to God is it right not to kill yes or no yes it's pleasing to God is it right not to commit adultery yes it's pleasing to God is it right to keep the Sabbath yes is it pleasing to God
55:30 - 56:00 yes in Matthew don't go there but in John 8 Jesus was frustrated the Pharisees just wouldn't understand what he was saying he said why do you not understand my spee why if Jesus can't make it clear how can I but I hope I made it sufficiently clear we are preparing for a world that is righteousness the standard is the law of God which is righteousness which was
56:00 - 56:30 expressed in the Life of Christ and required in our lives the judge is a righteous judge the crown a righteous Crown how many of you will say father give me a love for righteousness can I see your right hand a love for righteousness stand up with me 7 Minister 8 a love just love to do what's
56:30 - 57:00 right let's bow our heads as we pray Father in Heaven I ask you in the name of Jesus de God touch that person who is right now in crisis the person has heard the truth and is comparing the truth with his or her life as it has been lived and there is a crisis because a choice has to be made de God I ask you to help that person to understand that anything you require of
