Being DOWN on what you are not UP on!

[Guest]

Why do people muster up such BOLD assurance & where do they get it to completely be opposed to things in the bible they have NEVER studied themselves??? Take for instance the 7 Trumpets, some time back Ed Dickerson took a BOLD position that all 7 Trumpets of Revelation 8&9&11 are in the past, yet just a simple statement from inspiration was spread out before him and all the wind was taken out of his sail and he dropped out of sight on that subject. But just think of all the people he influenced while he was here.

I wish the new woman VP just elected would posted these below words where they could be seen coming from a proper channel that leadership would consider reconizing.

====================

"The Lord often works where we least expect him; he surprises us by revealing his power through instruments of his own choice, while he passes by the men to whom we have looked as those through whom light should come. God desires us to receive the truth upon its own merits,--because it is truth. {GW92 126.1}

It is only human nature for people to be Down on what they are not UP on and this will increase as trial thicken around us. Anyone want to know where we are in the stream of time? Here it comes!

"As trials thicken around us, both separation and unity will be seen in our ranks. Some who are now ready to take up weapons of warfare will in times of real peril make it manifest that they have not built upon the solid rock; they will yield to temptation. Those who have had great light and precious privileges, but have not improved them, will, under one pretext or another, go out from us.

401

Not having received the love of the truth, they will be taken in the delusions of the enemy; they will give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, and will depart from the faith."

Hold on a second as I gave you the bad news first. That class of people we need to keep our distance from, here is the group we should look for. "But, on the other hand, when the storm of persecution really breaks upon us, the true sheep will hear the true Shepherd's voice. Self-denying efforts will be put forth to save the lost, and many who have strayed from the fold will come back to follow the great Shepherd. The people of God will draw together and present to the enemy a united front. In view of the common peril, strife for supremacy will cease; there will be no disputing as to who shall be accounted greatest. No one of the true believers will say: "I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas." The testimony of one and all will be: "I cleave unto Christ; I rejoice in Him as my personal Saviour." {6T 400.3}
