The Power of Letting Go

Good afternoon All right, we'll get right into this because I know we Maybe a few minutes behind The next 3 messages I present each will represent each of the 3 angels messages So today will be the first angel's message.

And I ask you to pray for me today, because I know the enemy is really messing with me today.

So I'm asking for you to pray even as I pray.

Our scripture is, I'm gonna read our scripture, chapter 14, starting at verse 6.

The scripture says, and I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth.

To every nation and kindred and tongue and people, saying with a loud voice, fear God and give glory to him.

And worship him that made heaven and earth and the sea, the fountains of water.

Our message this afternoon is entitled, In the Court of the Creator, the first angel's message.

Let us pray, Father God, I ask you now Lord to once again make me just a nail upon the wall, a rusty, sorry nail Lord, but upon that nail Lord I ask that you hang a portrait of Jesus Christ.

Let Eric Walsh not be seen or heard today.

Instead, Father, let us hear a word from the throne room of grace.

This is our prayer in Jesus's precious and holy name.

This is 1 of the great passages of scripture, Revelation 14 in its entirety, the whole chapter.

We are well aware that really probably the most unique doctrine to us is the sanctuary message.

And actually we heard Professor Weiss speak on that just over the last couple of nights.

But 1 of the other ones that is really, at least relatively unique, and someone can tell me after if there's another denomination that does this, or another group that does this, is the idea that the messages of these 3 angels in the book of Revelation, in chapter 14, needs to be given to the entire world.

The scripture says in verse 6, and there are 4 lessons to get out of this passage of scripture, these 2 verses.

John says, I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment is come.

And worship Him that made heaven and earth, and the sea and the fountains of water." 4 lessons, and I'll give them to you up front, And then we'll go through each 1 of these things.

The first 1 is that the gospel is everlasting.

And we'll get into that, but I wanna say that not only is the substance of the gospel everlasting, but the consequences, the results of the gospel are also everlasting.

Number 2, all people are to receive this gospel.

The Third, the hour of His judgment is come.

So whatever time this message jumps on the scene, at that time, the judgment will begin.

And we learned last night—that's good, I can skip this part—last night we learned it—this happened around 1844, around that whole movement of time.

And in 1844, Christ moved into the most holy place, in the heavenly sanctuary.

So the hour of his judgment is come, right now.

He's gonna judge the world and is judging the world and you must worship him because he's the 1 who created everything.

Eloite says this in the book from Here to Forever page 235 she says, the first angels message of Revelation 14 was designed to separate the professed people of God from corrupting influences.

In this message God sent to the church a warning which, had it been accepted, would have corrected the evils that were shutting them away from Him.

Had they received the message, humbling their hearts and seeking a preparation to stand in His presence, the Spirit of God would have been manifested.

The church would again have reached that unity, faith, and love of apostolic days when the believers were of 1 heart and of 1 soul and when the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Now let me tell you something, 1 of the consequences that happened because the first angel's message was not fully received by the Christians in the world at the time to whom it was preached is that the church itself was weakened.

She goes on, Eloi says, an angel represents the exalted character of the work to be accomplished by the message and the power and glory that were to attend it.

The angel's flight in the midst of heaven, the loud voice and its promulgation to every nation and kindred and tongue and people give evidence of the rapid worldwide extent of the movement as to the time when it is to take place, it announces the opening of the judgment.

When this gospel jumped on the scene, it spread rapidly.

It is the most extensive message to have been preached.

What we as Adventists have is in more countries, as we just learned last night, than any other denomination.

Only the Catholic Church really does any job in keeping pace.

In these countries, we have, in many of these countries, we have schools, the second largest parochial school system in the world, as well as hospitals, the second largest hospital and healthcare system in the world as well, all claimed by Adventists.

Now here's where the numbers get incredible.

I'm not sure that there are even 30 million Seventh-day Adventists.

God has been aiding this work and it has had a great impact because of that work.

And understanding these simple but relevant truths is imperative if we are to finish the work that is to be done.

So the first lesson, the gospel is everlasting.

Verse 6, and I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel, to preach unto them that dwell on the earth.

First, the gospel starts with some bad news.

The bad news is according to Romans 3 and verse 23, all have sinned and done what?

And have fallen short of the glory of God.

Not 1 of us in our own merit is right with God.

You know, I have occasional drink maybe, but I'm a good person.

The stain of sin which comes from our sinful nature is upon every 1 of us.

And it goes on because Romans 6 and verse 23 tells us that the wages of sin is what?

The bad news that the wages, in other words, when you say wages it means that the salary, the payment, The reward for sin is death.

When you live a sinful life and you are willing to reject the free gift that God has for you, what you're saying is, I want a paycheck.

And I want that paycheck in its amount, in what is written on the line where the value of it is.

Let me tell you something, every day, all day, with how we think and live, we are investing.

Either we are investing into eternity with God or we are investing into damnation forever.

The good news, because that's what the gospel means, the gospel means good news.

The good news, Romans 5, 8, but God demonstrates his own love for us in this while we were yet sinners, what happened?

I've learned to apply this to my own life because, you see, I'm a sinner.

And there were times, even though I knew better, I intentionally walked into sin.

I remember coming home from college at Oakwood, Adventist school, very spiritual school at the time with great preachers like C.D.

Ward and all of these great preachers, Benjamin Reeves.

I went to school with guys who could preach.
