Repairer of the Breach

What we're going to do is in the first 5 minutes, I'm going to do a quick recap to kind of catch us up to where we left off last night.

So we've been covering a four-part series entitled Even at the Door.

And tonight's particular subject is entitled Repairer of the Breach.

Now last night we covered a subject entitled the children of Issachar.

Does anyone remember 2 specific characteristics of the children of Issachar?

So that's what the characteristics of the children of Issachar are.

Now, then we studied Revelation chapter 13.

We saw very clearly that prophecy is being fulfilled in that the United States is now the sole superpower in the entire world.

We see that while the United States is going down morally, we see that Rome is also rising to prominence.

And at the end of Revelation chapter 13, there's a specific means in which the crisis or our decisions for the mark of the beast will be enforced.

Number 1, if we will not be able to buy or sell, should we be preparing for that time?

Then, if we will not be able to buy or sell, what will we do about the food and medication?

Then we asked, what responsibility do we have for others?

What should our prayer and study life be like?

And then, what should our character be like?

Now, I have a whole presentation on this, and I'm just going to have to cover, as I said, the first 5 of the 6 solutions that I mentioned last night.

But I have a message on YouTube entitled Troublesome Times, and I cover these 6 points very extensively.

I'm going to cover number 6 pretty clearly tonight.

But if you want more information on the first 5 points, you can watch that video, Troublesome Times, on YouTube, and it covers it more clearly.

Number 1, we need to be Persevering in prayer.

You can write in your notes, early writings, page 269 and page 270.

It says, I saw some with strong faith and agonizing cries pleading with God.

The ones that were pleading and agonizing with God made it through the shaken.

The ones that were not were shaken out of the church.

And 1 of the things that I cover, which we're not going to be able to spend much time on tonight, is that there are 3 Ps in prayer.

Now as you chronicle Christ's prayer in Matthew chapter 26, you notice all 3 of these aspects.

His First prayer, Lord, take away the cup.

Second prayer, Lord, if it's not possible this cup shall pass, thy will be done.

And then Christ prayed a third prayer, and then after that, he received the power, the angel Gabriel came down and gave him power, and then in the book of John chapter 18, when Peter chopped off Malchus' ear, he said, Peter, the cup which my father has given me, shall I not drink it?

So we see that Christ had 3 prayers, and in the 3 prayers you see progression, you see perseverance, and as a result, he received power.

So as a crisis is approaching, we need to have all 3 aspects of this in our prayer lives.

And notice I'm putting the most important ones first.

We won't go through the text, but in Selected Messages, Book 2, page 368, Ellen White says, not 1 who is abiding in Christ will fail or fall.

Number 3, skip through this for the sake of time.

Number 3, what are the 2 main things after no buy no sell that the people of God will need?

Shelter, we'll put food and shelter together because you're going to be hopefully growing your food from your shelter.

For the sake of time, Food and then medication, right?

So is there a solution for these 2 things?

We're told again and again, the Lord has instructed our people ought to take their families away from the cities into the country where they can raise their own provision.

For in the future, the problem of buying and selling would be a what?

We should now begin to heed the instruction given us over and over again.

Now oftentimes when I do this presentation, people will come to me and say, well, Jesus is loving and graceful and merciful.

In fact, I was just in the Bronx and somebody said to me, don't worry yourself with these things, my brother.

Remember there was a particular man that thought the same thing.

Preaching the right message at the right time, but he did not follow the instruction that was given him, and he died and appeared to be a martyr until he read the next sentence that said what?

Not 1 Christian perished in the destruction of Jerusalem.

So there's some practical things that we must do.

And the thing that we must do in this time of peace is begin the process of preparing our own foods.

And you find that the doomsday preppers, they have it.

You see them, they're growing their own food.

They are preserving their food and preparing for a crisis.

And then we who know the message are not preparing for the crisis.

But he also says, why call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say.

Why does the Bible warn against a time of buying and selling?

Why does Ellen White say the time of buying and selling will be a very serious 1, the problem of buying and selling will be a very serious 1, the problem of buying and selling will be a very serious 1, if our bread and water is going to be sure this entire crisis wouldn't make any sense.
