Okay, I have to go. I am very busy now, especially due to extra things that have been added to my shedule, like Spring gardening, transplanting, etc. and etc. So, I will not be trying to host any more Zoom Bible studies. But you can if you care to. Just let people know on your groups of your intentions.
It is now 11:37 am here PST. They have approximately 30 minutes to reply on here.
Again, Lydia and Michael have not responded. I will try one last time. We will shoot for 12 noon PST my time. They are probably experiencing power outages do to heavy rainfall. Please pray for them. That cannot be helpful when they are trying to do ministry. If they do not show up by 12:15 pm though, I will have to cancel their plans for a Zoom Bible study. I have chores and Spring gardening to do.
Lydia and Michael have not responded, so we will shoot for 11 am PST my time. Doing household chores in the meantime.
@Lydia and Michael: I will post the Zoom meeting link as soon as I know you can meet today. The time starts counting down (45 minutes) as soon as I schedule the meeting on Zoom. So it is important that you let me know on here ASAP that you can attend. It can be at 10 or 11 or noon (my time PST). @Everyone else: You are welcome, but not to debate or argue doctrine.
I wish this app let you react to comments
It is also good to study the Bible when we can. 2 Timothy 2:14-15 KJV - "Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
Still it is wise to be careful who you talk to.
charlie, on the zoom Bible study you don't have to even show your face. and you don't have to give any personal information.
I would not have a zoom call with people you don't know. It is not wise to give random people your information and your face. Even if they say they are the same faith as you.
Since I have another commitment that I have to attend to, I cannot host a Zoom meeting today. We can schedule a Bible Study for our members on Thursday though. Anywhere from 10:00 a.m. and only until 12 noon my time PST will it work for me. How about for you? I hope that others will feel encouraged to come as this study is for them; I am only hosting the meeting. I will post the link a few minutes after I have heard from you and know what time you can meet.
@Lydia: Not knowing the reason for your absence led me to believe that you may have lost interest. But I see that you have not, and agree wholeheartedly that Satan will do everything he can to disrupt a Bible study. I am very busy now that spring is here though, so was disappointed that I had not heard back from you. I do not like to waste my time or that of anyone else. But of course, I forgive you. I always will. I just may not be as willing next time to host a meeting.
Okay, I ended the meeting. Maybe next time... :^/
Here is the link. Meeting will start immediately. https://us04web.zoom.us/j/77617678653?pwd=lf151Zg52BvGdaMsL7j73tQjcFEkI0.1
I started the meeting a little prematurely and did not realize the meeting countdown time began immediately. I will post the link again right before 12 noon. Thanks for understanding!
I have started the ZOOM meeting early. Hopefully people will join. If you know of anyone who would like to study the Bible with us, please let them know. https://us04web.zoom.us/j/73562614912?pwd=mEPWstQb5CvqcP9i0ajctNZxwWq8v5.1
Lydia has asked me to host a ZOOM meeting today at noon (PST my time). She wants to lead out in a Bible Study with any who are interested. I will put the Zoom link on the Final Events SDA Message Wall and you can copy and paste the link into your browser to join the meeting. Be sure that you have Zoom downloaded and set up on your device.
Lydia, we can try a Zoom meeting at 12 noon PST (my time) or 2 hours from now. Everyone is invited.
Kitty Lover, I have not heard from you for a while. What are you up to lately? 🙂
I also did a hydrotherapy procedure on both of her lower legs, and also got her started taking Celtic salt under her tongue anytime she drinks water. I am hoping that these efforts will help reduce the swelling in her legs and get her back up and walking. Her husband Bob said that he will try and follow through with all the procedures and keep her hydrated and drinking the juice.
Please pray for my friend Margie. She has a hospice care nurse visit once weekly. Her ankles and feet are swollen three times their normal size. I bought her and her hubby some fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables, and got her started on a purifying juice drink that will address her liver and kidney issues.
Charlie, I uploaded the entire Psalms 119 chapter. Let me know if there is anything else you want me to add. I have deleted the extra posts about the verse you thought you saw.
Charlie, the entire book of James has been uploaded. Any particular chapters in Psalm you want uploaded first? ☺
Alright could you add psalm 119 and the book of James
Charlie, this group is for Seventh-day Adventists only, so it is private. :^)
I have been juicing more, since we recently bought a TER juicer (for our Anniversary). We also make smoothies with a Ninja blender. I do not use any sugar, but will sometimes add Stevia or Turbinado sweetener (if bananas do not add enough of a sweet flavor). We have been buying more fruit and veggies lately since we have the processors. And I have not eaten much since Friday, and feel good. I do like eating whole fruit and salads, and have been avoiding a lot of empty calories from packaged or processed foods lately as well. Anyway, I will keep a close watch on things because this was a very rapid weight loss. If it proves to be mostly due to the ACV, then I will know that everything I have ever heard about it is true. It actually does help one lose weight!
I am so happy today! My garden is partially underway in my house (plants are on a plant stand with lights). We are not past the last frost outside yet. You can read more about it on Final Events SDA. And I have had remarkable results using Apple Cider Vinegar since last Friday to boost weight loss. I took my weight several times this morning thinking that my scale was broken! It kept giving me a reading of a 10+ pound weight loss. There is no noticeable change that I can see. I still have a lot of flab. Haha!
We do not know anything about you, Charlie. And Admin responsibilities are not given out to just anyone for safety reasons. But I will add verses upon your request. 🙂
May I have administrative privileges? If not I understand but I would like to add some verses.
@Marylin thank you for the suggestion. Also isn't thus group supposed to be private?
Lydia, what has happened to your group, Daniels Lot Loud Cry? Please let us know that you and Michael are okay. 😔🙏
Three helpful chapters to memorize in these troubled times that will equip us with strength to withstand the difficult events just ahead, are Psalm 46, Psalm 91 and Psalm 121. Store these words in your mind to give you courage to trust in Jesus when the tough times come.
I am adding the story of David and Goliath from 1 Samuel 17 if you are interested in memorizing those verses. They are some of my favorite passages in the word of God. And if you know of other SDAs who would like to join this group and learn verses with us, please invite them.
Okay, I am signing out of the proposed Zoom meeting by Lydia and Michael, evangelists from Kenya. No one showed up! But I think planning this Zoom meeting once weekly on Sunday afternoon at 12 noon (PST) will work well for them. I can HOST it for them, but not always be an active participant. Anyway, I have several things to do today. Sundays are very busy for me as the first day of the week can be my busiest day! I am so glad for the Sabbath of the Lord (the seventh day) and the rest it provides. I will catch up with everyone next time. :^)
Lydia asked me to HOST a Zoom meeting today, but I cannot be an active participant. I have a number of duties I have to attend to and cannot just sit down to attend a Zoom meeting with you. Hopefully you can come! It is now starting. The meeting ID is 776-1767-8653. The passcode is n6QLTt. This will be a reoccurring weekly meeting at this same time on Sunday (PST).
@Charlie: This is just a suggestion to help your verse look better when posted. Notice that there are posts of /r/n between your lines. To get rid of them, go back and remove the space, then space again. This will prevent the algorithm from placing those between your lines. I know this process is annoying, but the developer put the algorithm in place because there were a lot of problems on the app a few years back.
Lamentations 3:22–23
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Praise the Lord Kitty Lover
Three of my favorite memory verses: Hebrews 12:1-3 KJV - "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds."
Amen, Kitty Lover! Our God is a great God. He knows our every need.
Praise God, Kitty Lover!! 🙏🏻
BTW, my mom got her second appointment, and there is no problem with her heart! Praise God hallelujah!
sorry, I meant December 28, 2019.
I grew up with a Catholic mom and an agnostic dad. When I was seven, Mom left the Catholic church, and became a Seventh day Adventist. We shorty followed afterwards. My dad used to really be upset at the idea, and even told us that the kids couldn't go, so we stayed home. With much prayer from mom, Dad became an Adventist, and now he is an elder and Sabbath School teacher! As for me, I followed, but I didn't take it personally. I still watched stuff that were not good (Catholic mom used to let us watch them, Adventist mom banned them [sadly I disobeyed]) and I never really took it seriously. It wad only when I started having frequent bad dreams that I started praying, and getting rid of the junk. At age 12, December 28, 2025, I gave my life to Jesus and was baptized! Since then I have changed. I have been a kinder person, I watch good things (learning to improve more each day), study God's word daily, and am a good witness to my non SDA friends.
I did not grow up in a Seventh-Day Adventist family. We were very nominal Christians. When my mom accepted the SDA faith as the Truth, my brothers and sister came aboard quickly. But I did not. Later, the Holy Spirit convinced me to become an SDA, and I fully came to believe as I read The Great Controversy, the other books in the Conflict series, and studied the Voice of Prophecy Bible studies. During that time (1972-1973), I really began to memorize the scriptures for the first time. I knew John 3:16, but Revelation 12:17 was the first SDA belief that I memorized.
I would like to ask each of you, if you would, tell us a little bit about your life, and how you came to be a Seventh-Day Adventist.
A few minutes ago, I reviewed Psalm 23, Psalm 117, and parts of Psalm 27 and Proverbs 31, and a variety of verses from Romans. Please share with us what you have reviewed or learned anew today. 🙂
We do not need to know your last name. I was just trying to confirm whether you were my friend with the first letter of your last name. Welcome! ☺
I'm not going to tell you my last name
no I don't know you but would like to get to know all truth loving SDAs here
Hi Charlie! Is this my friend who lives near me? What letter does your last name start with?
Am a Seventh Day Adventist all the way
Am I allowed to join this group?
To identify Dori, she has 24,300+ points. I can only locate Tammy under Group Options and Members.
If anyone corresponds in any other group with Doreen or Tammy, they will be safe to join this group as well.
Bengali is an American missionary to Bangladesh. He began the Missionaries group in search of missionary minded individuals within and without our faith. This group will remain Public for the time being until he joins.
If any of you want to go to the Missionaries group and invite Bengali to join this group, you may. But I would like to place it again as PRIVATE as soon as possible, because there has been much hatred directed at me by non-Adventists on here for a long time.
Satan has really tried to oppress me today. It started early on when I wanted to have a zoom meeting. Both my phone and tablet would not work, but I was able to have the meeting and met two lovely SDA missionaries from Kenya. Then after I finished the zoom meeting on my computer, my phone really acted up. So I called a customer service rep with my carrier. The first one sent me to a second. We worked a long time on the phone and he came to the conclusion that my phone is broken. I did not feel that was the case, but feel that it was more likely demonic oppression. My husband and I just prayed (twice), and the problem has cleared up. But please keep me in your prayers as this is not over. Nevertheless I did not get discouraged. One more thing... It has taken me over a half hour to write this one post with proper punctuation and spelling. It was continually jumping around and placing the wrong information. That is how bad the oppression has been just now!
I really appreciate how much our great God cares for us. If I had to choose one favorite promise from Isaiah, chapter 40, it would be verse 31. "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
A couple of SDA missionaries met with me in the Zoom meeting I scheduled. I posted the link on FES. I invited them to join us here, so have made this group public for the time being. They live in Nairobi, Kenya, and speak very good English. Hopefully they will join us soon.
🌻 Happy Sabbath friends! Hope you have a blessed one. 🙏🌷
Sobering review verses today: 1 Peter 5:5-8 KJV - "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
It was a wonderful experience seeing her in person. I was so blessed! My friend Tammy, who coordinated our trip, got to do a week long seminar with her in Virginia last year. I believe it was more like a retreat so that she got some hands on experience.
Wow. In her videos, she always uses the drawing board too. She has a wealth of knowledge. I’m so glad you got to go see her and had a safe trip! 😊
People were there from all walks of life. She was an engaging and fun speaker, even though she was very serious most of the time. She was quite good on the drawing board, and she never used notes. Just a remarkable person!
Hayden Lake SDA church had 700 people there the first night. Then every following night it was practically standing room only. They sold all of her books, and even had to order and deliver books from ABCs out of the area. They had 2 overflow areas the first night, and even set up a 3rd after that. She had a security detail around her at all times because of ongoing threats to her safety.
And I will be praying for your mom Kitty Lover. ♥️🙏🏻
I’m so glad you had a safe trip. I was praying for you. Yes, I have seen many of her videos. And I’ve known Walt Cross since I was a child.
My mom chest is better, but not fully. On the 14th we are seeing a doctor. please🙏 for her.
I just returned from a week long seminar by Barbara O'Neill. It was amazing! Her character reminds me so much of things I have read about Ellen White. So gentle and quiet, but a powerhouse when she talked. She is a medical missionary, and teaches physiology principles that change the lives of the people she helps.
I can say this on this safe site, but do not repeat this anywhere else as there are some people who really hate what I am doing on Final Events SDA. I am heading out to Idaho tomorrow, and will be staying in a really nice BnB with friends for a week. We will be attending the Barbara O'Neill meetings on health reform. I am so looking forward to meeting her and getting a book or two. During the day, I will be working on my own book, and resting a lot (I hope). I did say I would be happy to do some cooking for everyone during the day while they explore.
Thanks Julina. My husband checked into the car warranty and it will cover a transmission. So he is out hunting for a place to repair it right now. That will be a relief when this problem is resolved. I have not been stressed about it, but Fred has endured some stomach issues the last couple of days, probably because of worry about the car. He ended up not going to the health seminar with me.
Happy Sabbath! I hope you get your vehicle problem solved. I agree they can be a real burden. Keeping busy can be hectic and it sure makes time fly by. God bless you and yours as well. 😊
We got our furness repaired today to the tune of $160. I think our friend (we have known him for years) gave us a break. That was nice! And a good thing because our main car broke down today; something we cannot afford to repair. So we have it (a Buick sedan), a Ford SUV that cannot go over 45 mph (a major timing issue), and a gas-guzzling 1-ton duelly GM truck. Vehicles can really be a burden... Anyway, I look at this situation more as an opportunity to pray. And the devil is working overtime trying to discourage us, so we must be doing something right. Ha! Well, happy Sabbath! God bless you and yours!
I hope everyone is having a good day! It is the Preparation Day for the Sabbath. It is a busy one for me (and Sunday and Monday) because I still need to prepare food and a salad (chili for my hubby and son), start some kind of seed plan for our garden (cannot wait on that as the clock is ticking), write if and when I get the chance, and prepare plant care directions for my husband while I am gone for a week long trip (which I will also have to pack for). Tomorrow (the Sabbath) we are going to a nearby health seminar for the day. I so much prefer being busy than having nothing to do and no goal in sight! :^)
When visiting I would try to distract my children. When they were young I could take them into another room or even outside. But sometimes I would just leave. For myself, I just try not to pay attention and this memory app is a good distraction. Ellen White wrote many things about the theater in her day. I can just imagine what she would think about what is on the TV nowadays. But here is a quote that I found which shows how Satan uses anything to distract us away from God. “Satan invents unnumbered schemes to occupy our minds, that they may not dwell upon the very work with which we ought to be best acquainted. The archdeceiver hates the great truths that bring to view an atoning sacrifice and an all-powerful mediator. He knows that with him everything depends on his diverting minds from Jesus and His truth” (GC 488). ❤️🙏🏻
That is wonderful, Marilyn. I hope you both had a happy Sabbath. Kitty Lover, no it wasn’t a nature show that I let my children watch. It was a popular show that I watched. When it began to have spiritualism in it, I gave up watching television except for 3abn and the like. I decided that if it was something I wouldn’t let my children watch, which was most everything, then I didn’t need to be watching it either. It has only been the last few years that some has crept back in again. So I realize I need to keep my guard up.
I have to tell you both something. Your prayers for me must be hitting the mark because my husband opened up to me tonight about something I needed to hear. I almost cried. It was something that gave me hope for his salvation and that of my kids. I just thought you would like to know. Happy Sabbath! ❤❤
You are very creative. And those are nice pastimes. I remember that you drew your display picture quite a while ago. I used to draw a long time ago. Used to color pages in coloring books front to back.
I don't play piano much anymore. I like drawing and crocheting better because I can create something!
TBH, I really don't think I want to be marry. I would rather live alone raising animals. but God knows the plans he has for me.
I am glad to hear that you do other things like knitting and crocheting. Do you play the piano or an instrument? That can be a wonderful way to pass the time, and not be a cause of steering you away from the Lord.
@Marilyn: Squatting is one thing, but this is more than just taking advantage of a parent. This is assault! He should be jailed for this!
Kitty Lover: If you do not want to wind up like me (feeling very much alone in my marriage), make sure your bond with the Lord is strong before considering a life partner. Let Jesus choose for you because we do not really know what we want. He knows who and/or what will make us happy. Otherwise you cannot enter into a marriage with safety; it will feel more like a curse than a blessing.
@Marilyn: you are right about computer games. I still play computer games occasionally as a way to spend time with my brother but that's after I checked the games fully and confirm there's no bad stuff in them. But I don't watch screen often. I mostly like knitting and crocheting.
I have been hard pressed by the enemy for years, and am now struggling with some TV addiction. Jesus is still not the center of our home. That alone has played the largest role in destroying the faith of my husband and our kids. I wonder if he has ever been truly converted. I hate what I did or did not do that contributed to my children losing their faith, but my husband claims no responsibility for their loss of faith. I brought up the subject of my TV addiction with Fred the other day at the mall, but he was totally non-committal.
I managed to keep the TV out of our home for a while when the kids were young, but Jesus has never been the center of our home. So it was a struggle trying to control the type of entertainment that influenced my family. My husband has never been anti-TV, so it has been back in our house for a long time. It and the computer have influenced our kids for evil. Computer games started out fairly benign while the kids were still at home, but one could see how they promoted evil more and more over the years.
@Julina: There was spiritualism on a nature show? How is that even possible?!
Since you both are parents, how did you handle tv with your kids when you went outside the home, and there happened to be a TV playing? After lots of nightmares, I don't look at what's playing anymore if it's bad. If good, I look. Just asking.
@Julina: So glad that you are doing the best for your children. Before my mom became SDA we watched all the toddler shows on Nickelodeon and Disney and PBS Kids, some of which we good, others ok, and some just bad. She later told us to stop watching those bad shows. I didn't like the change, and it was not easy at a place where there was a tv outside the home. I ended up suffering lots of nightmares that subsided when I gave my life to Jesus and watched better shows. We later made the switch to Smile and 3ABN kids. I still watch few secular shows, but ones that I have known to be educational and good.
Sometimes we just have to try our best to be an example and pray that they will come around and that God’s will be done in their lives as well as our own. We need to remember to make Christ our constant companion, especially when dealing with loved ones who try our patience. We can all slip in our walk and need extra help or encouragement. So as Christ is patient with us while we grow into Him, we also need to learn how to be faithful in forgiving and edifying with love toward others. My heart is often heavy for my loved ones that they be ready for heaven. So I pray that the God who loves them even more than I ever could will soften their hearts and that they will gain a desire to follow Him where He leads. We need to be sure to keep oil in our own lamps and be there to uplift one another on our way to the celestial city. Blessings ❤️🙏🏻
It is much harder now with cell phones on top of everything else. It seems it has slowly crept in again with watching Hallmark with my mom, and YouTube, and Facebook. Media is everywhere. But the verses that help me are “The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light” (Romans13:12). “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Memorizing verses on here really helps me instead of using my time on less profitable things. It can be extremely hard though in a household where not everyone agrees, especially a spouse. We can only pray for them and try to be a good influence. Talking can help if they are open to it, but that is not always the case.
Yes, I believe that Satan will be using any distraction he can to keep us from getting ready and so that we are not always on full alert against his deceptions. I was raised in a pastor’s home but even then we had television. My parents were strict about not letting us watch many of the shows out there, but not as much as they probably should have been. They were gone a lot during a lot of my childhood so we would watch hours when we got away with it. We moved usually about every three years to a new church. My mom was a Literature Evangelist for several years and away in the evenings and my dad would be out visiting or at board meetings until late most nights. So we kids took care of ourselves a lot. I believe we would have been better off without a TV. It wasn’t until I was married with a young toddler that I decided to stop watching television. I wouldn’t let my son watch anything except nature or kids praise so why should I watch anything either. I completely gave it up when a popular show I liked started having spiritualism. I was done. And one of my brothers also gave it up at that time. But it was hard around the rest of the family who always had the television or movies on. It crept into my children’s lives but never at home when they were young.
I will be praying for her, Marilyn. I believe in families helping each other, but to not only take advantage of but to try and harm her as well is just awful. I believe everyday that we are that much closer to the end of this sinful world. And I am so sorry that I have been busy lately and am now just answering everything. I was wondering about The Truth of Jesus and am glad to know that is you Marilyn. I went and closed the group after you said you didn’t want anything shared. But now I know it’s your group so of course you can open it if and whenever you like.
One other thing you ladies should know, is that her son who is about 50 (and a big guy), hit her on the head when she did not cooperate with him about something. And he proceeded to walk her (a 78 year old woman who walks with a cane) backwards until she was out of his way. She wanted to inspect the bag that he was taking to the dump or for a donation. I just want you to know how serious this situation could get if he decides that because she took no action, he has permission to do it again.
Kitty Lover, it would be nice if simple answers took care of everything in this life, but that does not usually take place. The enemy so complicates things, so much so that it almost leaves you in a fog. I am done trying to fix the issues Scharon is dealing with. She has not listened to us, but maybe our agitating the issue is starting to arouse her interest in her own future. She has been my best friend for years, and is now a bestie to Charlie. So we can only hope, and pray, for the best for her.
