Wow! Listen to this years later sure hit me differently than the first time. The part where you said The Lord brings them to the wedding/promised land, but they say, “You don’t really love us,” and walk away, and How it must have hurt Christ Jesus to have them think that. 😢 I was so touched by that. I never want to hurt my personal Saviour, ever again.
Thank you pastor Doug Batchelor you are true blessing🙏, just recently i was decieved once again by Satan through my mother but i quickly realized and prayed for her, she has a bit of a drinking problem and told me time and time again she's sick of drinking and displeasing God after the last time she became sick drinking a bottle of wine which was just last month. After claiming she was done displeasing god she fell right back into drinking last night. I was in bed and couldn't sleep, something told me walk into her room for some reason and i saw, i saw that she fell right into her old ways displeasing god again as she stated she wouldn't. I prayed and i will continue to pray for Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and anything is possible as long as you believe in him🙏
Don't be discouraged, I and many people I have known have gotten the victory over drinking, by Jesus Christ delivering us. He wills to do that for everyone who will come to Him. Keep praying, claim the promises of the Bible. Help her grow in the live if Christ, and the enemy will lose his power. Bless you and your mama.
Thanks Pastor Doug. Your teaching today made me realise that I still have chance of getting the job just have to wait and see what happens. I put my faith in God. Also I noticed that many will come in His name do amazing things yet Jesus will say to them that He doesn't know them.
This just solved sooooo many problems I've been having thank you pastor Doug Bachelor I truly believe that the Lord speaks through you and happy Sabbath (as of typing this)
”The Lord is soon to come. We want that complete and perfect understanding which the Lord alone can give. It is not safe to catch the spirit from another. We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ. If we commune with God, we shall have strength and grace and efficiency.” Lt 66-1894.18

No it is true. So many protestant variations. Why not set up your own church so you can mould God into what you want? Why not just say you are a Christian without doing anything about it such as Not attending Church ?? We have even got ignore the parts of scripture you don't like and pick and chose what books you want in YOUR Bible. Why not throw in a few words from actors and sports personalities?? Be a protestant it really is a free for all.
I would not believe the devil with or without Doug Batchelor. I don't know why he wants Christians to believe the devil with him. Believe in Jesus the Christ who is the Way the Truth and the Life in HIS Catholic Church.
Are you prepared? Praying always, in the Spirit, watching with all perseverance, pleading humbly for all the saints? Do you preach the gospel of Christ to others, or do you hide it from others? Do you talk about it with coworkers, friends, family, acquaintances and strangers; do you want to see others saved? Is God working through you to gain other sheep? If not, why? His goal is to gather all His lost sheep! The work is plenty and the laborers few, indeed. “…Nevertheless, When the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on earth?” Luke, 18:8. “And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth BOLDY, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak BOLDY, AS I OUGHT TO SPEAK.” Ephesians @-20 (emphasis mine). Speaking boldly against all heresies, all, those of religions and those of man, will I speak boldly now, that the blind may see, that the deaf may hear, that the dead may live through Jesus Christ our Lord. Many will reject the truth that follows, but some will turn to God, God only care about his lost sheep. His sheep hear His voice, even in the wilderness they hear the cry; prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight, just prior to Christ’s return the same as they did prior to Christ’s ministry. This is a significant prophetic warning for the latter days! The church leaders are teaching us with all deceit and unrighteousness as they love their station, their money, their life here on earth. Lost, blind, they believe THEIR OWN LIES; damning all who they blind to the truth. Now, as his return fast approaches, the whole world seems a wilderness of religious idolatry (for those caught in heresies of false religions) and lewdness and lasciviousness for those in doctrines of men; no wonder Jesus asked, when the Son of man comes again, will he find faith? Persevere, the truth will seem a fable to most, as most have believed fables for truth. Events in the world mirror those in the Bible, religious leaders saying a “messiah” is coming (2019), Israel squaring off against nations as foretold, people lining up, having parties, waiting to have “NTag 216” implanted in their hand (interestingly 6x6x6=216); and, also a “creation awakening” the truth about the sun, moon and stars, God’s truth about creation as found in scripture. All of these things matter to the gospel, but the gospel of Christ (according to the New Covenant found in the Bible) is above all of these events for it leads to Jesus. Nothing is more important than the gospel of Christ. “Behold I stand at the door and knock; IF any man hear my voice, AND open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Rev. @. That is why the last, the truth about creation, is the most important of the “world events” (above) as it IS a movement bringing people to God who were lost; lost, but they heard a knock at the door and opened the door of a Bible, seeking God and found him. That is God moving people! Joshua @-13, “Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themmsleves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hastened not to go down about a whole day.” Did you SEE that? Did you HEAR truth? The Bible says God stopped the sun and moon and day stopped for about a whole day. Sun standing still = day standing still. How does that work if the world is spinning? Hold a flashlight (the sun) still, the light shinning on a globe (the world), while spinning the globe and you will see; it does not stop the day! The bible teaches a created world, not a fable world. A simple truth God let us know of in his word, how he created and made the world, leading lost sheep back. God is opening the eyes of the blind who seek him, to do his work. God is opening the ears of those who would hear his word, that they may know the truth, and find salvation through Jesus Christ. Have you heard His Spirit speaking? Do you see what God has to show in scripture? Has the Holy Spirit shown you the truth the Bible holds? Is he right now? How long has it been since the Holy Spirit has grabbed you up to show you truth that brought you into a closer walk with God? Truth that made you see anything from God clearly? We stand on truth, for Jesus IS the Truth (John 14:6), our rock (the cornerstone) the foundation on which we build our house. The house in which our faith rests (see; Hebrews chapter 3). The time is now. Right now those who would be followers are believing, the fables of men, false doctrines or doctrines of science/man, leading to death of the spirit before the body. Before the body, because we are being sealed now, right now, by either the Holy Spirit or the mark of the Beast; those sealed to the Beast, sealed to death. The eternal death of the spirit. Those who have the simple gospel, that Jesus Christ, God Almighty came in the flesh, born of a virgin, came and lived a sinless life, laid down his life, died for the sin of the world, and rose from the dead on the third day, as found in the Bible, His word; that you must believe on Him, Him alone, ask Him to be your Savior, truly repent and walk with Him, ACCORDING TO THE NEW COVENANT, Christ’s covenant, then you are saved! You are reborn, sealed to everlasting life!
Kevin Smith Sorry, not sure what you’re on about but I just had a quick comment about what you said about Joshua 10:13. You said that if you hold a light still (the sun) and the earth is still spinning it won’t stop the day (sorry, paraphrasing a bit). The thing you have to remember is that in that time they didn’t know that the earth went around the sun and that night and day were caused by the rotation of the earth. As far as I know, that wasn’t discovered until the time of Galileo (and he was basically harassed and abused by the Catholic Church for it). What to them would have seemed like the sun standing still could very easily have just been God stopping the rotation of the earth - and seeing as he is God and created everything, I’m pretty certain that gives him the right to do whatever he wants. However, him stopping the rotation could have had devastating effects on other parts of the world which is why the very next verse says, “And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.” (Joshua 10:14 KJV). Hopefully that clears that up a bit for you. As for the rest of what you said, I kinda skimmed it and it didn’t really make sense, so I’ll pray that God reveals to you the truth in an understandable way and that the Holy Spirit will guide you in the way you should go to uncover that truth.
@@LupinKing There is a problem with your reply. Does God Lie? Is God the author of his word? The Bible in Joshua 10:13 CLEARLY STATES GOD STOPPED THE SUN! It does not say what you have "guessed he meant." The Bible is the word of God, prefect in all that THE BIBLE TEACHES. The heliocentric/Capernicus model dates back to Phythagoras (6th century B.C.), Capernicus borrowed from Philolaus (4th century B.C.), who borrowed from Pythagoras. Also, Capernicus went Rome and was a Catholic. So if you hold to the NASA heresy view of the Universe, you are believing in a Catholic belief! Regardless, of what anyone believes, the TRUTH IS WHAT MATTERS. GOD IS TRUTH, therefore his word is truth. If God says he "stopped the sun," then he stopped the sun! Not the earth, for God does not lie and God told us what he did in the Bible (he stopped the sun). If God did anything else, then the bible would be in error!!!! I know God does NOT lie therefore, God stopped the sun. Furthermore, the Bible teaches the EXACT OPPOSITE of man's NASA heresy, with regards to creation. See Genesis chapter 1 and compare that to the NASA heresy, they do not teach the same about creation. Seventh Day Adventists quote often Genesis 2:2, but, apparently, ignore Genesis 2:1"Thus THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST IN THEM." This is the OPPOSITE of NASA, who teach the univers is EVER EXPANDING, it is STILL BEING CREATED. Yet, God states CLEARLY, God finished ALL CREATION and then rested. Your assumption regarding Joshua 10:14, is amazing, it ignores what God has told us in scripture and makes all (those who believe in the NASA heresy) to "manufacture" what the mind of God really meant was NOT what he said in the Bible. If I take what you say at face value, then, why does God not have the power to stop these "devastating effects" you profess should God stop the earth spinning?? Perhaps, It happened just as the Bible says it did BECAUSE the earth is exactly as God says it is in the Bible!!! That is what I choose to believe, the Bible. There are no other worlds, per the Bible. This is a problem for SDA's as their prophet (EGW) gave them a gospel that says those who believe the gospel are justifying God's plan to all the universe (the other created beings). Look how EGW's heresy dove tails with the NASA heresy! The Bible is WITHOUT other "created beings in a universe." Oh how satan loves to deceive those who do not study the scripture. Do you believe in evolution? If not, why? The Bible is as clear about the creation of man as it is about the creation of the heavens and the earth. I will believe God's word over man's lies ALL the time. Perhaps, you should stop skimming things and READ them, asking the Holy Spirit to guide you. The truth is in the Bible. My eyes are opened and I realize now why Jesus said in Luke 18:8, "...Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on earth?" All are being deceived, his message and the Bible teachings are NOT what those who are to be shepards preach. All religions have added or taken away (or both) from God's word and the gospel of Christ. Hopefully, the Holy Spirit will guide you into truth, if you wil listen, and out of man's heresies. I will pray for you. Much love my brother, I have faith that IF you are seeking God, his Holy Spirit will guide you into God's truth, as found in his word.
@@LupinKing The Bible has MANY verses on creation. Psalms 19:6 says THERE IS NOTHING THE SUNS HEAT DOES NOT TOUCH. Is this because God, did not know to tell those he had write the Bible that there is a "universe" out there? Perhaps, since they didn't know the truth God decided that he should tell them a lie because it (a lie) is what they believed? No brother, that is NOT God's way. The truth is found in the Bible. God made the sun and PLACED THE SUN INSIDE THE FIRMAMENT, this is how Psalms 19:6 is true. God tells us truth; MAN made the "universe" lie. If you check the Bible against the NASA/heliocentric universe you will find they are the COMPLETE OPPOSITE. Just as good is the opposite of evil. Just as the devil is the opposite of God and will present an Anti-Christ, the devil has already presented a gospel that is completely opposite of the Bible, and the main prophet (or the pulpit) of this gospel is NASA. Sadly, many believe in the NASA heresy and do not see how it takes away from belief in God. Religions have ALL left God to follow man. This is why in Revelations 18:4 says to come out of her, Babylon, the great whore AND MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH (Revelations 17:5). God has a church, his church is PEOPLE, not a corporation or a corporate religion, bereft of the Holy Spirit as ALL religions now are. Some experiments of man (see - Michelson-Morley experiment proved earth not moving, also see Auguste Piccard, popular science magazine article, August, 1931) ACTUALLY prove the Bible is correct, that the earth is flat, stationary and does not move (1 Chronicles 16:30, Job 38:14, Psalms 33:9, Psalms 93:1, Psalms 96:10, Psalms 104:5, Psalms 119:90, Proverbs 8:28-29, Isaiah 14:7, Isaiah 40:22, Isaiah 42:5, Zechariah 1:11, JUST A FEW bible versus on the earth being created flat, stationary, fixed by a foundation. You do know a foundation STABILIZES what rests upon it?). Sadly the devil is quick with new "cover up" lies. Thus, Einstein’s “Theory of Relativity” was quickly given to “explain” how this could be. Einstein’s theory prompted Tesla’s subsequent comment “Einstein’s theory of relativity is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king… its exponents are brilliant men, but they are meta-physicists rather than scientists.” (Meta-physicist = RELIGION OF MATHMATICS!!!). I have compiled thirteen pages of Bible verses on creation comparing them to religions and man's teachings, sadly few believe what the Bible teaches on creation of the heavens and the earth. I guess, I should be glad the devil was NOT as successful with evolution lie as he is with the creation of the heavens and the earth lie however, I have read Bible prophesy that tells me this "heaven and earth lie" of the devil is VERY important. That is why it has infiltrated ALL religious beliefs. If you would like to know more of what the bible teaches regarding the heavens and the earth, creation, bible verses in addition to those above, like THE MOON IS ITS OWN LIGHT SOURCE (Genesis 1:16, Isaiah 13:10, Isaiah 30:26, Isaiah 60:19, Ezekiel 32:7, Matthew 24:29, Mark 13:24, Revelation 21:23) please let me know I will gladly forward all the scriptures I have found in the bible on this subject and information by scientists who (doing other scientific studies) prove the Bible IS CORRECT. I know NASA says the moon REFLECTS the suns light and I know that the authors GOD CHOSE to write the Bible did not have NASA to instruct them on the "universe," I just don't see that as relevant. I see the Bible and what God tells me. God be with you in your journey to the truth brother. I have not said anything here out of hate for any person, but out of hate for any heresy and for LOVE OF THE TRUTH OF GOD!
@@KevinSmith-tl2jn Sorry, but are you one of those people who think the Earth is flat? Or that the sun orbits the world? There is plenty of evidence that supports that the Earth not only rotates, but that it isn't flat and the sun doesn't orbit it (though the moon does) but rather the earth goes around the sun. However, I feel like this is an issue you aren't likely to bother listening to so I'll move on. As for saying there aren't any other beings, you mentioned Genesis 2:1 and 2:2. But there are a few things you forgot. For one, what about angels? 2/3s of them are unfallen beings and yet you didn't mention them. They may not have been created at the same time as our world, but you can't avoid the fact that they were created by God and are mostly unfallen - again, 2/3 according to Revelation 12:4, 7-9 ("And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth...And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.") On the same topic you have "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord , and Satan came also among them." (Job 1:6 KJV) Who then were these sons of God if not unfallen beings who were created before mankind? And where would they have come from besides unfallen world's? Whether they are angels or other beings, you can't say they don't exist when some form of unfallen beings met with God that day. Also, if you're gonna mention the Devil talking about "walking to and fro upon the face of the earth" in the next verse, this is him claiming dominion of the earth after Adam lost it when falling to sin and temptation in the garden of Eden. And if there are other beings that are unfallen, it makes sense we wouldn't be able to see them as no man can see the spiritual things (whether angels or demons) around us unless God allows it like with Elisha and his servant in 2 Kings 6:17: "And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord , I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha." (2 Kings 6:17 KJV) Also, in no way did I say that I agree with NASA that the universe is expanding. As the Bible itself says, "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun".(Ecclesiastes 1:9 KJV). And I don't believe in evolution because it doesn't make sense. How can something come out of nothing? How can chaos become order without some form of intervention. I believe the Bible and I believe facts presented before me, so don't assume. And in the same breath, I will state, I don't believe in the theory of evolution, bit I believe in micro evolution; that changes can happen within a specific species, not one becoming a completely different one. By this I mean a Labrador retriever breeding with a Poodle to have Labradoodle offspring. Or a black man and an Asian woman having kids who people would call "Blasian". And don't try and argue saying this is "hypocritical" or "a contradiction" because then I ask you, what would you call it? Also for E.G. White, I do have to ask, what do you have against her when everything she wrote was rooted in the word and was usually a comprehensive breakdown or explanation of the word. If you have any proof to otherwise, please provide it, I'll definitely hear out your argument.
@@LupinKing Sadly, you have not read the Bible on this subject and sadly, you have NOT verified what is truth. However, you have had it presented and, apparently, rejected God's truth he put in the Bible (not me) for now. Sadly, you most likely are not going to read those or any other scripture on this truth the Bible states. You never answered the question of evolution, do you believe in that too? If not, why? I will leave you to your belief of the NASA heresy and I will stay with what the Bible says.
SEALED OR MARKED? Do you KNOW if you are sealed to God? Time is short; Christ’s message must get out. The True gospel must be preached. Your salvation depends on Jesus Christ alone. You must believe and repent (truly repent). God is sealing his people now. Time is so short. He is holding back the four winds, while mankind is being sealed for his coming. You are either being sealed with the Holy Spirit of God or sealed with the mark of the beast. Romans @-12 “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of your sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works off darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Ephesians @ “Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Through the gospel of Christ we have access to His armor. ACCESS; we still must put it on. To be fully armed, to stand, we must know the scriptures. Unfortunately, the devil has trained us to read the Bible by subject matter, here a verse, there a verse, everywhere a verse; a verse for a SUBJECT we are studying. Ever learning and never coming to the truth because we do not build scripture upon scripture to see ALL the Bible has to show us. These simple truth’s escape our purview, leaving access for the devil to exploit our lack of knowledge, our lethargy. Why is the Bible, God’s book, the only book, most people NEVER read like every other book? Cover to cover, Genesis 1:1 to The Revelation of John @. This IS how every book should be read, especially God’s, so nothing is missed. God gives us His book that we may put on His armor, BUT we must properly use any tool, especially those from God. Has anyone put something complicated together without using instructions only to have it not work right? Then, have to take it apart, read the instructions and then put it back together, with the knowledge gained from reading the instructions, so it functions like it should? Our Bibles are God’s instructions. If we do not use the scripture, or study scripture properly, we will at the least be without truth; and at the worst we will be in error, error IS heresy! My brethren, God does not want us to be ignorant. However, parts of the Bible cannot be found, if what (by subject) you are searching for is not a truth God has chosen to show us; and, also, truth we are to know may remain unseen. This is one way, we remain blind to that which God would have made known. Put it this way, my wife can see a yard sale sign from China, I never see any of them. I am not a yard sale person, it is just not my subject. Gaudy bright neon pink, yellow, orange signs, EVERYWHERE signs! Yet, I am never searching for a yard sale, so I NEVER see the sign. This is how parts of the gospel are missed, left unseen, not gleaned from our harvest of the scriptures. Contributing to our lethargy is the assumption others will do the due diligence that we do not. Also, because we think our method (here verse, there verse) is the correct method, we are improperly trained. Properly trained, God’s instructions give us the knowledge we NEED. The knowledge to “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians @-12 The time is now; the sealing of man has commenced we are now choosing either the mark of the Beast or we are sealed to God. Most are unaware, caught in a false gospel they do not have The Truth and are bereft of His armor. They are unprepared, NOT HAVING DONE ALL, to stand. Yet, believing they are saved. Jesus said: “Enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat:” Matthew, @. (emphasis MANY). Many have a belief, and believe they are following Christ, they have a shield of faith, only it is in a false gospel, and this paper shield will crumble in battle. The blind, leading the blind have both fallen into the ditch. God does not have any armor in either ditch. No one, in a ditch, has God’s armor. There is a ditch on both sides of The Narrow Path, on both sides of The Straight Way. The ditch of “works” on one side, leads to damnation just as much as not believing; because salvation is NOT EARNED. Works of self = self righteousness. We have no righteousness of self through any work, for true works are not ours, but His. It, righteousness, is a gift from Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, through my faith works will be shown, yet, through works will no righteousness be obtained. The other ditch, is the atheist, agnostic, predestination, and the “once saved always saved,” grace abuse ditch, on the other side of The Narrow Path. Both ditches hold only error, heresies, and death. Broad is the way that leads to destruction for all of these “Christian’s” who think they follow Christ. The DITCHES ARE FULL OF CHRISTIANS!! (not just the unbelieving). Only being properly prepared with scripture, after having accepted the New Covenant gospel of Christ, WITHOUT adding or subtracting from it; can we stand therefore having girt about our loins with truth; He will lead us into all truth. Christ can then give to us The Breastplate of Righteousness, HIS righteousness, a free gift. Having shod our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. The peace that only comes from accepting that we are sinners; in filthy rags, INCAPABLE of righteousnes except by Christ’s gift of it. Christ is the Prince of Peace, to know Him, is to know peace. Christ left us His word in the scriptures, that we might be prepared. That we might above all, take the Shield of Faith, so we can quench ALL the fiery darts of the wicked. Ephesians @-17, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breast plate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” The wicked have many darts; without faith on Jesus Christ based upon His true gospel (the only way to salvation, the only way to receive the Holy Ghost and be sealed to God) the darts of the wicked will not be quenched. All caught without Christ, not sealed by the Hoy Spirit, will feel the sting, the pain the wicked one intends. Unprepared, the unbelieving, those stuck in heresy, will have chosen the beast because they chose not Him (Christ). They chose not to be baptized by the Spirit of promise; they chose the mark of the beast because they chose not to be sealed by the Holy Ghost. However, if we choose Him, His gospel (The gospel), as given in His book, the Bible, we can take The Helm of Salvation and have the knowledge to wield His sword, The Sword of The Spirit, which is the word of God. Are you prepared?? Are you working harder to build up treasure on earth than you are at building up treasure in heaven?? Do you study his word or do you “subject” His book? Are you doing just enough, a few minutes a day (a week?), to tell yourself, “I have done as God wants;” thereby making it a work? Do you weigh your good and bad deeds telling yourself, you are good enough?
@@tyrawatt4963 Christ is the solution. Anything I can do or is the Holy Spirit already working with you on this? God loves you sister, whatever problem you have, Jesus is the salvation.
Eve was a believer in Christ! and so was Adam..corroding to Pastor Batchelor. Really? Now from where did the Pastor dig that one up from? And where is it found in Genesis, in the Garden story, that the Devil was ever present? A personage endowed with the tittle Serpent was present but we should not fall into the trap of assuming this was actually the Devil.
Who other than the devil is the father of lies? The serpent caused Eve to stumble and along with her, Adam. And why does death even exist? Because this 'serpent' which is the devil willingly told them lies.
@@0vercast7 The title 'Father of Lies' was awarded to the devil, by Jesus, in the course of an argument with some Pharisees. Yet significantly, Jesus did not further expound on his accusation. In other words he provided no evidence. Again, there is no mention of Satan being present in the Garden, in the Genesis story. And where do you find that the 'Serpent' told the couple any lies?
@@edwardlongfellow5819 Again the devil is known as the father of lies by Jesus (John 8:44) only the father of lies would cause humanity to enter into turmoil. If you don't agree, then who would you say the serpent is? Satan told Eve she shall not surely die (it's a lie because she did die, that is her perfect 'self' did in that moment) as did Adam. Satan told them a half-truth, the cleverest of them all. He is also called the serpent of old (Revelation 12:9; Revelation 20:2) and the promise God gave Adam and Eve (Gen 3:14-15)
@@0vercast7 Again, I would say that the accusation by Jesus, that the Devil was the father of Lies , was never proven. Jesus never offered any proof whatsoever. In an angry exchange with the Pharisees, Jesus insulted them with the retort "You are of your father the devil, the father of all lies" The Pharisees, missed a golden opportunity because they should have asked Jesus to disclose these 'lies' of the Devil, but they did not. And I would correct you when you say Satan spoke to Eve concerning the fruit. Satan is not mentioned in the Garden story. God told Eve that she must not touch or eat of the fruit under pain of death. The 'Serpent' however, told Eve that she would die upon eating the fruit. Which turned out to be the truth of the matter.

Wow! Listen to this years later sure hit me differently than the first time. The part where you said The Lord brings them to the wedding/promised land, but they say, “You don’t really love us,” and walk away, and How it must have hurt Christ Jesus to have them think that. 😢 I was so touched by that. I never want to hurt my personal Saviour, ever again.
yay first comment and God is working his miracles on pastor Doug
Thank you pastor Doug Batchelor you are true blessing🙏, just recently i was decieved once again by Satan through my mother but i quickly realized and prayed for her, she has a bit of a drinking problem and told me time and time again she's sick of drinking and displeasing God after the last time she became sick drinking a bottle of wine which was just last month. After claiming she was done displeasing god she fell right back into drinking last night. I was in bed and couldn't sleep, something told me walk into her room for some reason and i saw, i saw that she fell right into her old ways displeasing god again as she stated she wouldn't. I prayed and i will continue to pray for Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and anything is possible as long as you believe in him🙏
I've never met your Mother
Don't be discouraged, I and many people I have known have gotten the victory over drinking, by Jesus Christ delivering us. He wills to do that for everyone who will come to Him. Keep praying, claim the promises of the Bible. Help her grow in the live if Christ, and the enemy will lose his power. Bless you and your mama.
Thanks Pastor Doug. Your teaching today made me realise that I still have chance of getting the job just have to wait and see what happens. I put my faith in God. Also I noticed that many will come in His name do amazing things yet Jesus will say to them that He doesn't know them.
This just solved sooooo many problems I've been having thank you pastor Doug Bachelor I truly believe that the Lord speaks through you and happy Sabbath (as of typing this)
Amen thank you, I needed this word God is good thanks again
Thank you Pastor Doug for your teaching... Amen and God bless you...

Glad to hear it friend I hope you continue to learn and grow
”The Lord is soon to come. We want that complete and perfect understanding which the Lord alone can give. It is not safe to catch the spirit from another. We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ. If we commune with God, we shall have strength and grace and efficiency.” Lt 66-1894.18

Enjoyed this sermon
Had to chuckle when I read the title of this video as posted.
No it is true. So many protestant variations. Why not set up your own church so you can mould God into what you want? Why not just say you are a Christian without doing anything about it such as Not attending Church ?? We have even got ignore the parts of scripture you don't like and pick and chose what books you want in YOUR Bible. Why not throw in a few words from actors and sports personalities?? Be a protestant it really is a free for all.
Thanks. God bless you, pastor Doug.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great Job pastor Doug. Keep it up. Share more wisdom to us.
Amen!!
I enjoy your message you do well you are a man of God and God bless you
Amen
How embarrassing 😳 to believe the devil. There’s nothing more humiliating & condemning than believing the devil and his minions.
I think the Church today looks at the bible this way. One word but everyone looks at it differently. When we all should see it the same way.
I would not believe the devil with or without Doug Batchelor. I don't know why he wants Christians to believe the devil with him. Believe in Jesus the Christ who is the Way the Truth and the Life in HIS Catholic Church.
Amen 😊
I believe in logic and facts..
Oh wow 😳
Aaamen!!!
Are you prepared? Praying always, in the Spirit, watching with all perseverance, pleading humbly for all the saints? Do you preach the gospel of Christ to others, or do you hide it from others? Do you talk about it with coworkers, friends, family, acquaintances and strangers; do you want to see others saved? Is God working through you to gain other sheep?
If not, why? His goal is to gather all His lost sheep! The work is plenty and the laborers few, indeed. “…Nevertheless, When the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on earth?” Luke, 18:8.
“And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth BOLDY, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak BOLDY, AS I OUGHT TO SPEAK.” Ephesians @-20 (emphasis mine).
Speaking boldly against all heresies, all, those of religions and those of man, will I speak boldly now, that the blind may see, that the deaf may hear, that the dead may live through Jesus Christ our Lord. Many will reject the truth that follows, but some will turn to God, God only care about his lost sheep. His sheep hear His voice, even in the wilderness they hear the cry; prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight, just prior to Christ’s return the same as they did prior to Christ’s ministry.
This is a significant prophetic warning for the latter days! The church leaders are teaching us with all deceit and unrighteousness as they love their station, their money, their life here on earth. Lost, blind, they believe THEIR OWN LIES; damning all who they blind to the truth.
Now, as his return fast approaches, the whole world seems a wilderness of religious idolatry (for those caught in heresies of false religions) and lewdness and lasciviousness for those in doctrines of men; no wonder Jesus asked, when the Son of man comes again, will he find faith? Persevere, the truth will seem a fable to most, as most have believed fables for truth.
Events in the world mirror those in the Bible, religious leaders saying a “messiah” is coming (2019), Israel squaring off against nations as foretold, people lining up, having parties, waiting to have “NTag 216” implanted in their hand (interestingly 6x6x6=216); and, also a “creation awakening” the truth about the sun, moon and stars, God’s truth about creation as found in scripture.
All of these things matter to the gospel, but the gospel of Christ (according to the New Covenant found in the Bible) is above all of these events for it leads to Jesus. Nothing is more important than the gospel of Christ.
“Behold I stand at the door and knock; IF any man hear my voice, AND open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Rev. @. That is why the last, the truth about creation, is the most important of the “world events” (above) as it IS a movement bringing people to God who were lost; lost, but they heard a knock at the door and opened the door of a Bible, seeking God and found him. That is God moving people!
Joshua @-13, “Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themmsleves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hastened not to go down about a whole day.” Did you SEE that? Did you HEAR truth?
The Bible says God stopped the sun and moon and day stopped for about a whole day. Sun standing still = day standing still. How does that work if the world is spinning? Hold a flashlight (the sun) still, the light shinning on a globe (the world), while spinning the globe and you will see; it does not stop the day! The bible teaches a created world, not a fable world.
A simple truth God let us know of in his word, how he created and made the world, leading lost sheep back. God is opening the eyes of the blind who seek him, to do his work. God is opening the ears of those who would hear his word, that they may know the truth, and find salvation through Jesus Christ. Have you heard His Spirit speaking? Do you see what God has to show in scripture? Has the Holy Spirit shown you the truth the Bible holds? Is he right now?
How long has it been since the Holy Spirit has grabbed you up to show you truth that brought you into a closer walk with God? Truth that made you see anything from God clearly? We stand on truth, for Jesus IS the Truth (John 14:6), our rock (the cornerstone) the foundation on which we build our house. The house in which our faith rests (see; Hebrews chapter 3).
The time is now. Right now those who would be followers are believing, the fables of men, false doctrines or doctrines of science/man, leading to death of the spirit before
the body. Before the body, because we are being sealed now, right now, by either the Holy Spirit or the mark of the Beast; those sealed to the Beast, sealed to death. The eternal death of the spirit.
Those who have the simple gospel, that Jesus Christ, God Almighty came in the flesh, born of a virgin, came and lived a sinless life, laid down his life, died for the sin of the world, and rose from the dead on the third day, as found in the Bible, His word; that you must believe on Him, Him alone, ask Him to be your Savior, truly repent and walk with Him, ACCORDING TO THE NEW COVENANT, Christ’s covenant, then you are saved! You are reborn, sealed to everlasting life!
Kevin Smith Sorry, not sure what you’re on about but I just had a quick comment about what you said about Joshua 10:13. You said that if you hold a light still (the sun) and the earth is still spinning it won’t stop the day (sorry, paraphrasing a bit). The thing you have to remember is that in that time they didn’t know that the earth went around the sun and that night and day were caused by the rotation of the earth. As far as I know, that wasn’t discovered until the time of Galileo (and he was basically harassed and abused by the Catholic Church for it).
What to them would have seemed like the sun standing still could very easily have just been God stopping the rotation of the earth - and seeing as he is God and created everything, I’m pretty certain that gives him the right to do whatever he wants. However, him stopping the rotation could have had devastating effects on other parts of the world which is why the very next verse says, “And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.” (Joshua 10:14 KJV).
Hopefully that clears that up a bit for you. As for the rest of what you said, I kinda skimmed it and it didn’t really make sense, so I’ll pray that God reveals to you the truth in an understandable way and that the Holy Spirit will guide you in the way you should go to uncover that truth.
@@LupinKing There is a problem with your reply. Does God Lie? Is God the author of his word? The Bible in Joshua 10:13 CLEARLY STATES GOD STOPPED THE SUN! It does not say what you have "guessed he meant." The Bible is the word of God, prefect in all that THE BIBLE TEACHES. The heliocentric/Capernicus model dates back to Phythagoras (6th century B.C.), Capernicus borrowed from Philolaus (4th century B.C.), who borrowed from Pythagoras. Also, Capernicus went Rome and was a Catholic. So if you hold to the NASA heresy view of the Universe, you are believing in a Catholic belief!
Regardless, of what anyone believes, the TRUTH IS WHAT MATTERS. GOD IS TRUTH, therefore his word is truth. If God says he "stopped the sun," then he stopped the sun! Not the earth, for God does not lie and God told us what he did in the Bible (he stopped the sun). If God did anything else, then the bible would be in error!!!! I know God does NOT lie therefore, God stopped the sun.
Furthermore, the Bible teaches the EXACT OPPOSITE of man's NASA heresy, with regards to creation. See Genesis chapter 1 and compare that to the NASA heresy, they do not teach the same about creation. Seventh Day Adventists quote often Genesis 2:2, but, apparently, ignore Genesis 2:1"Thus THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST IN THEM." This is the OPPOSITE of NASA, who teach the univers is EVER EXPANDING, it is STILL BEING CREATED. Yet, God states CLEARLY, God finished ALL CREATION and then rested.
Your assumption regarding Joshua 10:14, is amazing, it ignores what God has told us in scripture and makes all (those who believe in the NASA heresy) to "manufacture" what the mind of God really meant was NOT what he said in the Bible. If I take what you say at face value, then, why does God not have the power to stop these "devastating effects" you profess should God stop the earth spinning?? Perhaps, It happened just as the Bible says it did BECAUSE the earth is exactly as God says it is in the Bible!!! That is what I choose to believe, the Bible.
There are no other worlds, per the Bible. This is a problem for SDA's as their prophet (EGW) gave them a gospel that says those who believe the gospel are justifying God's plan to all the universe (the other created beings). Look how EGW's heresy dove tails with the NASA heresy! The Bible is WITHOUT other "created beings in a universe." Oh how satan loves to deceive those who do not study the scripture.
Do you believe in evolution? If not, why? The Bible is as clear about the creation of man as it is about the creation of the heavens and the earth. I will believe God's word over man's lies ALL the time.
Perhaps, you should stop skimming things and READ them, asking the Holy Spirit to guide you. The truth is in the Bible. My eyes are opened and I realize now why Jesus said in Luke 18:8, "...Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on earth?" All are being deceived, his message and the Bible teachings are NOT what those who are to be shepards preach. All religions have added or taken away (or both) from God's word and the gospel of Christ.
Hopefully, the Holy Spirit will guide you into truth, if you wil listen, and out of man's heresies. I will pray for you. Much love my brother, I have faith that IF you are seeking God, his Holy Spirit will guide you into God's truth, as found in his word.
@@LupinKing The Bible has MANY verses on creation. Psalms 19:6 says THERE IS NOTHING THE SUNS HEAT DOES NOT TOUCH. Is this because God, did not know to tell those he had write the Bible that there is a "universe" out there? Perhaps, since they didn't know the truth God decided that he should tell them a lie because it (a lie) is what they believed? No brother, that is NOT God's way. The truth is found in the Bible. God made the sun and PLACED THE SUN INSIDE THE FIRMAMENT, this is how Psalms 19:6 is true. God tells us truth; MAN made the "universe" lie. If you check the Bible against the NASA/heliocentric universe you will find they are the COMPLETE OPPOSITE. Just as good is the opposite of evil. Just as the devil is the opposite of God and will present an Anti-Christ, the devil has already presented a gospel that is completely opposite of the Bible, and the main prophet (or the pulpit) of this gospel is NASA.
Sadly, many believe in the NASA heresy and do not see how it takes away from belief in God. Religions have ALL left God to follow man. This is why in Revelations 18:4 says to come out of her, Babylon, the great whore AND MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH (Revelations 17:5). God has a church, his church is PEOPLE, not a corporation or a corporate religion, bereft of the Holy Spirit as ALL religions now are.
Some experiments of man (see - Michelson-Morley experiment proved earth not moving, also see Auguste Piccard, popular science magazine article, August, 1931) ACTUALLY prove the Bible is correct, that the earth is flat, stationary and does not move (1 Chronicles 16:30, Job 38:14, Psalms 33:9, Psalms 93:1, Psalms 96:10, Psalms 104:5, Psalms 119:90, Proverbs 8:28-29, Isaiah 14:7, Isaiah 40:22, Isaiah 42:5, Zechariah 1:11, JUST A FEW bible versus on the earth being created flat, stationary, fixed by a foundation. You do know a foundation STABILIZES what rests upon it?).
Sadly the devil is quick with new "cover up" lies. Thus, Einstein’s “Theory of Relativity” was quickly given to “explain” how this could be. Einstein’s theory prompted Tesla’s subsequent comment “Einstein’s theory of relativity is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king… its exponents are brilliant men, but they are meta-physicists rather than scientists.”
(Meta-physicist = RELIGION OF MATHMATICS!!!).
I have compiled thirteen pages of Bible verses on creation comparing them to religions and man's teachings, sadly few believe what the Bible teaches on creation of the heavens and the earth. I guess, I should be glad the devil was NOT as successful with evolution lie as he is with the creation of the heavens and the earth lie however, I have read Bible prophesy that tells me this "heaven and earth lie" of the devil is VERY important. That is why it has infiltrated ALL religious beliefs.
If you would like to know more of what the bible teaches regarding the heavens and the earth, creation, bible verses in addition to those above, like THE MOON IS ITS OWN LIGHT SOURCE (Genesis 1:16, Isaiah 13:10, Isaiah 30:26, Isaiah 60:19, Ezekiel 32:7, Matthew 24:29, Mark 13:24, Revelation 21:23) please let me know I will gladly forward all the scriptures I have found in the bible on this subject and information by scientists who (doing other scientific studies) prove the Bible IS CORRECT. I know NASA says the moon REFLECTS the suns light and I know that the authors GOD CHOSE to write the Bible did not have NASA to instruct them on the "universe," I just don't see that as relevant. I see the Bible and what God tells me.
God be with you in your journey to the truth brother. I have not said anything here out of hate for any person, but out of hate for any heresy and for LOVE OF THE TRUTH OF GOD!
@@KevinSmith-tl2jn Sorry, but are you one of those people who think the Earth is flat? Or that the sun orbits the world? There is plenty of evidence that supports that the Earth not only rotates, but that it isn't flat and the sun doesn't orbit it (though the moon does) but rather the earth goes around the sun. However, I feel like this is an issue you aren't likely to bother listening to so I'll move on.
As for saying there aren't any other beings, you mentioned Genesis 2:1 and 2:2. But there are a few things you forgot. For one, what about angels? 2/3s of them are unfallen beings and yet you didn't mention them. They may not have been created at the same time as our world, but you can't avoid the fact that they were created by God and are mostly unfallen - again, 2/3 according to Revelation 12:4, 7-9 ("And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth...And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.")
On the same topic you have "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord , and Satan came also among them." (Job 1:6 KJV) Who then were these sons of God if not unfallen beings who were created before mankind? And where would they have come from besides unfallen world's? Whether they are angels or other beings, you can't say they don't exist when some form of unfallen beings met with God that day. Also, if you're gonna mention the Devil talking about "walking to and fro upon the face of the earth" in the next verse, this is him claiming dominion of the earth after Adam lost it when falling to sin and temptation in the garden of Eden. And if there are other beings that are unfallen, it makes sense we wouldn't be able to see them as no man can see the spiritual things (whether angels or demons) around us unless God allows it like with Elisha and his servant in 2 Kings 6:17: "And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord , I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."
(2 Kings 6:17 KJV)
Also, in no way did I say that I agree with NASA that the universe is expanding. As the Bible itself says, "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun".(Ecclesiastes 1:9 KJV). And I don't believe in evolution because it doesn't make sense. How can something come out of nothing? How can chaos become order without some form of intervention. I believe the Bible and I believe facts presented before me, so don't assume.
And in the same breath, I will state, I don't believe in the theory of evolution, bit I believe in micro evolution; that changes can happen within a specific species, not one becoming a completely different one. By this I mean a Labrador retriever breeding with a Poodle to have Labradoodle offspring. Or a black man and an Asian woman having kids who people would call "Blasian". And don't try and argue saying this is "hypocritical" or "a contradiction" because then I ask you, what would you call it?
Also for E.G. White, I do have to ask, what do you have against her when everything she wrote was rooted in the word and was usually a comprehensive breakdown or explanation of the word. If you have any proof to otherwise, please provide it, I'll definitely hear out your argument.
@@LupinKing Sadly, you have not read the Bible on this subject and sadly, you have NOT verified what is truth. However, you have had it presented and, apparently, rejected God's truth he put in the Bible (not me) for now. Sadly, you most likely are not going to read those or any other scripture on this truth the Bible states. You never answered the question of evolution, do you believe in that too? If not, why? I will leave you to your belief of the NASA heresy and I will stay with what the Bible says.
Do you have a sermon on the Mark of the beast?
I hope he doesn't know the shekinah glory isn't a God term because I'm enjoying this message.
SEALED OR MARKED?
Do you KNOW if you are sealed to God? Time is short; Christ’s message must get out. The True gospel must be preached. Your salvation depends on Jesus Christ alone. You must believe and repent (truly repent). God is sealing his people now. Time is so short. He is holding back the four winds, while mankind is being sealed for his coming. You are either being sealed with the Holy Spirit of God or sealed with the mark of the beast.
Romans @-12 “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of your sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works off darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.”
Ephesians @ “Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Through the gospel of Christ we have access to His armor. ACCESS; we still must put it on. To be fully armed, to stand, we must know the scriptures. Unfortunately, the devil has trained us to read the Bible by subject matter, here a verse, there a verse, everywhere a verse; a verse for a SUBJECT we are studying. Ever learning and never coming to the truth because we do not build scripture upon scripture to see ALL the Bible has to show us. These simple truth’s escape our purview, leaving access for the devil to exploit our lack of knowledge, our lethargy.
Why is the Bible, God’s book, the only book, most people NEVER read like every other book? Cover to cover, Genesis 1:1 to The Revelation of John @. This IS how every book should be read,
especially God’s, so nothing is missed. God gives us His book that we may put on His armor, BUT we must properly use any tool, especially those from God.
Has anyone put something complicated together without using instructions only to have it not work right? Then, have to take it apart, read the instructions and then put it back together, with the knowledge gained from reading the instructions, so it functions like it should? Our Bibles are God’s instructions. If we do not use the scripture, or study scripture properly, we will at the least be without truth; and at the worst we will be in error, error IS heresy!
My brethren, God does not want us to be ignorant. However, parts of the Bible cannot be found, if what (by subject) you are searching for is not a truth God has chosen to show us; and, also, truth we are to know may remain unseen. This is one way, we remain blind to that which God would have made known. Put it this way, my wife can see a yard sale sign from China, I never see any of them. I am not a yard sale person, it is just not my subject. Gaudy bright neon pink, yellow, orange signs, EVERYWHERE signs! Yet, I am never searching for a yard sale, so I NEVER see the sign.
This is how parts of the gospel are missed, left unseen, not gleaned from our harvest of the scriptures. Contributing to our lethargy is the assumption others will do the due diligence that we do not. Also, because we think our method (here verse, there verse) is the correct method, we are improperly trained. Properly trained, God’s instructions give us the knowledge we NEED. The knowledge to “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians @-12
The time is now; the sealing of man has commenced we are now choosing either the mark of the Beast or we are sealed to God. Most are unaware, caught in a false gospel they do not have The Truth and are bereft of His armor. They are unprepared, NOT HAVING DONE ALL, to stand. Yet, believing they are saved.
Jesus said: “Enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat:” Matthew, @. (emphasis MANY).
Many have a belief, and believe they are following Christ, they have a shield of faith, only it is in a false gospel, and this paper shield will crumble in battle. The blind, leading the blind have both fallen into the ditch. God does not have any armor in either ditch. No one, in a ditch, has God’s armor.
There is a ditch on both sides of The Narrow Path, on both sides of The Straight Way. The ditch of “works” on one side, leads to damnation just as much as not believing; because salvation is NOT EARNED. Works of self = self righteousness. We have no righteousness of self through any work, for true works are not ours, but His. It, righteousness, is a gift from Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, through my faith works will be shown, yet, through works will no righteousness be obtained.
The other ditch, is the atheist, agnostic, predestination, and the “once saved always saved,” grace abuse ditch, on the other side of The Narrow Path. Both ditches hold only error, heresies, and death. Broad is the way that leads to destruction for all of these “Christian’s” who think they follow Christ.
The DITCHES ARE FULL OF CHRISTIANS!! (not just the unbelieving).
Only being properly prepared with scripture, after having accepted the New Covenant gospel of Christ, WITHOUT adding or subtracting from it; can we stand therefore having girt about our loins with truth; He will lead us into all truth. Christ can then give to us The Breastplate of Righteousness, HIS righteousness, a free gift. Having shod our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. The peace that only comes from accepting that we are sinners; in filthy rags, INCAPABLE of righteousnes except by Christ’s gift of it. Christ is the Prince of Peace, to know Him, is to know peace. Christ left us His word in the scriptures, that we might be prepared. That we might above all, take the Shield of Faith, so we can quench ALL the fiery darts of the wicked.
Ephesians @-17, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breast plate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
The wicked have many darts; without faith on Jesus Christ based upon His true gospel (the only way to salvation, the only way to receive the Holy Ghost and be sealed to God) the darts of the wicked will not be quenched. All caught without Christ, not sealed by the Hoy Spirit, will feel the sting, the pain the wicked one intends. Unprepared, the unbelieving, those stuck in heresy, will have chosen the beast because they chose not Him (Christ). They chose not to be baptized by the Spirit of promise; they chose the mark of the beast because they chose not to be sealed by the Holy Ghost.
However, if we choose Him, His gospel (The gospel), as given in His book, the Bible, we can take The Helm of Salvation and have the knowledge to wield His sword, The Sword of The Spirit, which is the word of God. Are you prepared?? Are you working harder to build up treasure on earth than you are at building up treasure in heaven?? Do you study his word or do you “subject” His book? Are you doing just enough, a few minutes a day (a week?), to tell yourself, “I have done as God wants;” thereby making it a work?
Do you weigh your good and bad deeds telling yourself, you are good enough?
I have a problem
@@tyrawatt4963 Christ is the solution. Anything I can do or is the Holy Spirit already working with you on this? God loves you sister, whatever problem you have, Jesus is the salvation.
Kevin Smith Just keep me in your prayers. Could i have your email?
why put up these false image of JESUS?
Eve was a believer in Christ! and so was Adam..corroding to Pastor Batchelor. Really?
Now from where did the Pastor dig that one up from? And where is it found in Genesis, in the Garden story, that the Devil was ever present? A personage endowed with the tittle Serpent was present but we should not fall into the trap of assuming this was actually the Devil.
Who other than the devil is the father of lies? The serpent caused Eve to stumble and along with her, Adam. And why does death even exist? Because this 'serpent' which is the devil willingly told them lies.
@@0vercast7
The title 'Father of Lies' was awarded to the devil, by Jesus, in the course of an argument with some Pharisees. Yet significantly, Jesus did not further expound on his accusation. In other words he provided no evidence.
Again, there is no mention of Satan being present in the Garden, in the Genesis story. And where do you find that the 'Serpent' told the couple any lies?
@@edwardlongfellow5819 Again the devil is known as the father of lies by Jesus (John 8:44) only the father of lies would cause humanity to enter into turmoil. If you don't agree, then who would you say the serpent is?
Satan told Eve she shall not surely die (it's a lie because she did die, that is her perfect 'self' did in that moment) as did Adam. Satan told them a half-truth, the cleverest of them all.
He is also called the serpent of old (Revelation 12:9; Revelation 20:2) and the promise God gave Adam and Eve (Gen 3:14-15)
@@0vercast7
Again, I would say that the accusation by Jesus, that the Devil was the father of Lies , was never proven. Jesus never offered any proof whatsoever. In an angry exchange with the Pharisees, Jesus insulted them with the retort "You are of your father the devil, the father of all lies"
The Pharisees, missed a golden opportunity because they should have asked Jesus to disclose these 'lies' of the Devil, but they did not.
And I would correct you when you say Satan spoke to Eve concerning the fruit. Satan is not mentioned in the Garden story. God told Eve that she must not touch or eat of the fruit under pain of death. The 'Serpent' however, told Eve that she would die upon eating the fruit. Which turned out to be the truth of the matter.

When SDA's believe in Alexandrian \ Catholic Bibles and show their true colors more and more everyday ...
