three. Uh, that’s a that’s a slip of the tongue if ever there was one, isn’t it?
[Music] See, we’re talking about memory here,
and I can’t even remember the type top the title of my sermon. All right. So,
um this is Lost Zombies number three. And uh we started out last night by
laying a bit of a foundation in how the brain works. Uh we saw how having a he healthy hippocampus, it gives you a
strong neurogenesis of index neurons that’s essential for promoting your sense of individual history, your sense
of individuality, your personality, your memory of life, your sense of where you are in the flow of history, your
significant relationships, your memories, your attitudes, the major highs and lows in your life, and also
your encounters with God. And so promoting a healthy hippocampus
in our brain which is and there are very practical steps we can all take. We’ve mentioned a few of those already is is a
very um is very helpful for our spiritual walk with the Lord. Then we saw this morning in Zombie Saints number
two, sorry, Lost Zombies number two. Again,
I’m in zombie mode right now. We saw that we examined how
indoctrination works, how indoctrination techniques have been perfected uh over
the years and how they were imposed during the pandemic to deliver a mentally exhausted, emotionally
compliant population with unquestioning obedience to the decisions of unelected technocrats leading to the current
mental health crisis across our society. So this afternoon, we’re going to come to the heart of the matter. We want to
understand how in the final crisis between good and evil, which is ultimately a battle for your mind.
In the final crisis, we’re going to see the same mixture of fear, coercion, and
intimidation that will cause multitudes to be lost. and understand why it is our
ability and our um right today as Christians to recognize and be obedient to the convictions of the Holy Spirit
upon our conscience which is so critical to surviving Satan’s final deceptions and his final assault on our mind. The
battle for salvation does not place in your heart. It takes place in your mind. Your mind is the battleground. It is not
the bastion. It is a battleground today. It is where the convictions of the conscience and the temptations of Satan
are alike experienced. So we must defend our minds. And at the heart of that
battle is the hippoc campus which is the primary area of satanic temptation
indoctrination into the false meta narratives of our world uh that will turn us either into slaves either of the
regimes in under which we live or of Satan himself. So the battle for salvation
depends on the outcome for the battle for the mind. We’re not victims in this. We have a choice to make. We can make a
choice. You can choose where you stand today. Joshua said, “As for me and my
house, we will serve the Lord.” They made a choice and they followed through with the principles of that choice. So
we’re going to look this afternoon, if I can make sure this is working here.
All right. It’s in zombie mode. It’s still not
still not react reacting to me here. All right. Could I ask could somebody be
very kind just kind of sit down here and just press I think there’s a chair there. Brother Jody, could you just
press like the down button on the um on the Mac there? A down the down button.
There we are. Thank you. So that’s what we’ve already covered. Zomb Lost Zombies 1 and two. This afternoon we’ve
concluding with Lost Zombies 3. Now the next slide. That’s our journey this afternoon. That fear cripples unnatural
disasters, endtime indoctrination, and healthy minds before we come to our conclusions. And the next slide there,
I’ve got to keep up with my slide guy now. So he has me on a timer. I see that.
So he’s not in zombie mode. He’s like moving fast ahead. Thank you, brother Jody. So again, a reminder that we are
not to be conformed to this world, but we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Satan is the ruler of this
era. Satan is the prince of this world. The governments and the corporations and the values and ideologies of this world
ultimately fall under the the control of Satan. But we are citizens of God’s
kingdom. And it’s from where it is from there that we’re expecting our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. So we are not to
be conformed to the values, the kingdoms, the principles of this world. Our lives are to manifest the principles
of the kingdom of God. And if you want to know what those are, start with the sermon on the mount. In particular, the
biatitudes. So we are not to be conformed to this world or the gods of this world, but we are to we are to
discern what is the will of God, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. If we are conformed to this
world, if our minds are subject to and um uh and they are slaves to the values
and principles and ways of this world, it’s going to be very very hard for us to discern the perfect will of God.
So we need to make a choice. We either seek God’s will or we sub or we become
slaves to the gods of this world and ultimately to Satan himself. So we each need to make a choice. So,
we’re going to start out by talking about the fact that Am I clicking this or are you clicking
this? Yeah. Can you click it? Okay. Let’s go down. Go down.
Okay. No, the other way. Other way. Yeah. There we are. Fear cripples. There
we are. Okay. We’ll stay at this slide. Okay. All right. So, I’m going to look
at him whenever we need to change slides. All right. I Thank you so much, brother Jod, for doing this. All right,
let me ask you the question. Does fear people? Are people paralyzed by fear?
Absolutely they are. Um when people are facing a sudden threat um there is
flights or fright uh but many people just go into like this this um they just
curl up and wish the problem goes away. And I’ve I’ve noticed in my life that there are many men who suffer from PTSD,
post-traumatic stress disorder. And there are many people who suffer from pre-traumatic desk uh pre-traumatic
stress disorder, which is also a recognized condition. And if you want to know what that looks like, it’s men who
are going into battle suddenly behave very differently. They they go very silent. They look into
the distance. They may write a letter home. Their bodies may be quivering. They know what they’re about to face.
During World War I, in the Battle of the Som, when the British sent their soldiers out of the trenches to march
into the German machine guns, 57,000 men died that first morning.
More in than in almost Vietnam in this entire war. 57,000 men gone by noon. And
whole cities lost all their men in in those opening moments of the of the Battle of the Psalm. The men went over
the top. Why did they go over the top? They were so terrified by what was happening, they just did as they were
told. That was the the only way they figured they could get out. They were in type one thinking rather than type two
thinking in that moment. But you can have post-traumatic or pre pre-traumatic
stress disorder. You experience it as as a heightened state of anxiety, reduce hippocample neurogenesis, and you simply
follow orders around you. During the pandemic, Western governments deliberately stoked
fear as a means of driving social compliance. We know this from various sources. In
the UK, with our health minister was a man called Matt Hancock. All of his WhatsApp chat messages have now been
released to the public from the pandemic. What we realize, what we read is astonishing. Matt Hancock was
explicitly talking to his civil servants and he was saying in the messages, young people don’t care about the pandemic. He
says we need to turn up the fear in the social messaging. Turn up the fear because that’s what’s
going to drive compliance to the new agenda. In Germany, the next slide, please. The German Federal Ministry of
the Interior posted their package of COVID measures online. And this is what
they said. They said in order to achieve the desired shock effect, shock effect. They weren’t trying to educate the
community. They were trying to shock the community into compliance. In order to desire achieve the desired shock effect,
the concrete effects of an infestation on human society must be made clear. And
across Western Europe, it was children in particular who were targeted with fear-based messaging.
And here in America, children were targeted with fear-based messaging as well. Children thought that if they went
to see grandma without being vaccinated, they were going to kill grandma. Children were afraid of what they were
going to do to the to grandma or grandpa if they were to visit them. Children are very vulnerable to fear-based messaging
in order to gain compliance. Next slide. The World Economic Forum published this report in 2020.
It’s a comprehensive report and it’s on all the global risks in 2020. It’s called the global risks report. If you
are of a depressed or a melancholy nature, I’d encourage you not to read this kind of report
because if you read this report, you’d never get out of bed again in the morning. I like reading books of men
climbing Mount Everest as long as I’m sitting in my bed at the time.
But there are some reports like this that you don’t want to read. And every year the WF comes out with a global
risks report. And this glo these global risks report make fascinating if depressing reading. According to these
global leaders of our world today, all the global risks are interrelated. Each potential catastrophe amplifies the
other catastrophes we are facing. It would appear from these reports that it
is impossible for anybody on planet Earth to escape this web of existential
risk, catastrophes in the economic and environmental sphere, social collapse,
and personal pain. So when you read these reports, you wonder how does anybody get out of bed
in the morning? And so um the next slide down talks about this is a list. And now
my wife chastises me for my charts. And I’m sorry for putting this up here, but I couldn’t think of another way to put
it up there. According to this 2020 report from the World Economic Foundation um from uh WF in 2020, they
said that uh if we if there is a failure to take decisive action immediately on what they call the climate crisis, this
will lead to the following problems. So if you want to be encouraged this
afternoon, maybe close your ears for the next 30 seconds. But climate action failure will
allegedly lead to the following social problems. Global governance failure, social instability, natural resource
crisis, unemployment, asset bubbles, financial failure, adverse technological
advances, IT infrastructure breakdown, biodiversity loss, critical infrastructure failure, weapons of mass
destruction, that’s proliferation, cyber attacks, interstate conflict, use of weapons of mass destruction, chronic
diseases and health conditions, human-made environmental disasters, delobalization, involuntary migration,
water crisis, extreme weather events, national government failure, fiscal crisis, infectious diseases, failure of
earning planning, food crisis, state collapse, terrorist attacks. And that’s going to be the natural
consequence if the world doesn’t have global coordinated climate action.
I’m not making this list up. You can read this for yourselves from the WF. They published this. They published this
in the just as the pandemic was getting underway and every year they published their global risks report. It’s worth
reading those things to understand what the decision makers in our world are thinking about today. Now the climate
crisis as it’s now being called leads to uncontrollable, unpredictable
and inescapable stress. Our next slide please. There’s a quote on some research done on the psychological impact on
children of being told about the climate crisis. This is from Van Sustran
a clinical article on our children face pre-traumatic stress from worries about climate change. This is what um this
psychologist had to say in the um BMJ British Medical Journal in 2020. She
said children are particularly vulnerable to the psychological trauma from current extreme weather events.
They can also be harmed by the future of fear of future harms. Chronic stress can
permanently affect brain development as well as brain functioning. We’ve already been discussing that yesterday and this
morning. Exposure to climate related stress during early development may have damaging lifelong consequences
including maladaptive behaviors, memory problems, problems with attention, diminished inhibition, difficulty
regulating emotions, impaired decision-m, impaired problem solving, behavioral problems, and priming for
future stressful events. Our children are being targeted for
indoctrination on the climate crisis so they become plant and compliant tools in
whatever agenda comes our way in the near future. In 2017, the next slide
please. The American Psychological Association and EcoAmerica confirmed there is a direct relationship among and
children between climate change, anxiety and negative mental health. quote, “They
cause stress, depression, and anxiety, strain social and community relationships, and are associated with
increases in aggression, violence, and crime. And so, we not only have the pandemic
affecting our children, but we also have a global mental health crisis that is being caused by fear-based
indoctrination about the climate crisis. There is no way to escape the climate
collapse, the climate crisis. Uh, in Britain, we used to have pictures of the weather forecast for Britain on the BBC.
And in the summer when it had like um 30° Celsius, which is the highest it ever got, it would have maybe a slightly
yellow color attached to it on the map. And now you look at the map in in like
March and and the temperature is at 18 Celsius and the map is this deep crimson
purple color. Okay, just the colors on the maps are shouting emergency, emergency, emergency, but the
temperatures haven’t changed. And these are subtle ways that messages
are being conveyed to our young people that they have to do something to save the planet. Our children are being
indoctrinated in the climate crisis. They’re being told, you must go green, save the planet, net zero is good, or
plain just zero carbon, which means no human life whatsoever. And the never-ending fear of imminent global
collapse is driving this mental health crisis. Young adults are choosing now not to have children because they want
to save the environment. As we’ve already seen, the primal mo the most powerful emotion that actually um
creates new memories is fear, a primal fear, fear of death. It overwhelms the
hippo campus and leads to panic, irrational decision-making, and deep regret. And fear is being manip
manipulated by those in authority to successively erase our autobiographical memories and senses of self to
indoctrinate us to turn us into compliant unquestioning populations driven primarily by type one rather than
by type two decision-m that is instinctive zombie-like decision-m rather than conscious intelligent
rational decision-m. So let’s talk for a few minutes about unnatural disasters shall we? And this
is we’re getting into end time events. And um there we are a slide. I I forgot
to mention this. The great mental reset is needed to accomplish the great reset and to impose the mark of the beast. So
let’s come to the next slide then. Unnatural disasters. And next slide again, brother Jod. So there you have um
an AI representation of uh of Satan, a fallen angel. The Bible does talk about
the fact that before Christ comes again, Satan is going to um appear as if he he
himself is the second coming of Satan. Satan is going to impersonate the coming of Christ. I hope I got that right. My
my brain is not functioning quite right just now. I can I’ll blame everything from now on hippo on negative hypocample
neurogenesis. But Satan is going to impersonate the coming of Christ. I hope I said that
right. All right. He’s going to impersonate the coming of Christ in order to deceive the world into
disobeying the law of God. We read about this in 2 Thessalonians 2:es 8-9. And
that text is now upon the screen um which says, “And then the lawless one will be revealed.
And when the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of his mouth, annihilating him by the manifestation of
his coming, the coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan who uses all power, signs, and lying
wonders. So here you have the the manifestation of his coming. That word coming is paria. That’s the coming of
Christ. And then you have here the paracia. It’s the same word of the man of sin. So you have the coming of Christ
that comes after the coming of the man of sin. And when Satan appears as the
man of sin, he is his ministry of power, signs, and lying wonders. And when Peter
spoke at Pentecost in Acts chapter 29, he said that Christ um was attested by
God. He had a ministry of power, signs, and wonders. Three words. And when when
Satan appears to impersonate the ministry of Christ, it’s the same three words, power, signs, and wonders, but
the Apostle Paul adds the adjective lying in here. So, it’s a final deception to deceive the world. So,
Satan is going to appear impersonating the appearance of Christ in order to deceive the world um to turn away from
God, his character, and his law. And Sister White writes about this in great controversy. And the next slide we have
a few quotes here uh from page 588 um paragraph two we see there that um going
to quote Satan himself will appear in the character of an angel of light
through the agency of spiritualism miracles will be wrought the sick will be healed and many undeniable wonders
will be performed and as the spirits will profess faith in the Bible and manifest respect for the institutions of
the church their work will be accepted as a manifestation of divine power. There’s a chapter in
the book, Great Controversy, called the Ministry of Evil Angels. I’d encourage you to read that because it’s talking
about the rise of the occult at the end of time. And you don’t have to drive long around to any major American city
to see the occult is all over our nation. I was recently driving through Arizona.
I passed through a beautiful town called Sedona. Any of you know Sedona? Arizona. Every other building is talking about
tarot cards and crystals and energy lines and palm readings and this is a beautiful town but it is drowning in the
force in the powers of Satan. The this the text goes on on the next slide. We read through spiritualism
Satan appears as a benefactor of the race healing the diseases of the people
and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith. But at the same time he works as a
destroyer. So it’s going to look like the ministry of Jesus. It’s going to sound like the
ministry of Jesus. People are going to be cured of their uh incurable diseases.
And um and so this is what Satan’s going to do at the end of time to deceive the world. Um but he’s going to work as a
destroyer. And this is where he works as a destroyer. And again, if my wife were here today, she’d chastise me for
putting so much text upon that screen. So I apologize in advance. But um this
is what it says. She says, “While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their
maladies, he will bring disease and disaster until popular cities are
reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work in accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great
confl confilrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hail storms, in tempers,
floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes. In every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his
power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint,
and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous.
Destruction will be upon both man and beast. And so while Satan appears
professing to be the second coming of Christ, he is simultaneously causing natural disasters to come upon our
world. Natural disasters. These are unnatural disasters. These are disasters
brought about by Satan. They affect the natural environment. Cyclones, tidal waves, um tsunamis, earthquakes, storms,
tornadoes. I don’t see anywhere in here about volcanoes, but I’m sure that may be included in the list.
The world is going to be deceived because people aren’t thinking clearly.
And Satan’s goal is to deceive the very elect of God. We’re deceived in our minds.
We’re deceived when we no longer love the truth. It’s not merely enough to know the
truth. Satan knows the truth. He knows prophecy better than anybody else. He comes down to the earth with great anger
because he knows that his time is short. He knows what the prophecies state.
Satan was the first theologian in the Garden of Eden. He said, “Did God really say this?” He was the first theologian
and a great student of prophecy, but he’s lost and he’s angry. Those who are
deceived are those who not just that yes they may know the truth but the text says in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 those who
love the truth are the ones who will withstand the final temptation. If you’re going to love the truth you’re
going to love Jesus and his teachings not just with your head but with your heart. It’s a whole body response to the
person of Jesus Christ. I’m sold out for him. Everything I do is for him.
Every act in my life is an act of worship for him. My life is a living sacrifice for my Lord and for my Savior.
And as he did not come into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved. So my ministry
in the Pacific Northwest is that everybody in my neighborhood might be saved as well. And just as Jesus spoke
about Zakius and said, “The son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.” Our purpose, our ministry, our
calling from God as we follow, if we follow in the footsteps of Jesus, is to seek and to save that which is lost in
our community, in our own homes, in our own families. And when we participate in seeking and saving the lost, um, all of
a sudden God changes us in the process. I’ve often wondered why Jonah, there are four chapters in Jonah. Chapter one, you
meet a storm that obeys the Lord. Chapter two, you meet a fish that obeys the Lord. Chapter three, you have
120,000 people in Nineveh who obey the Lord. And in chapter four, God is still struggling with his hard-hearted
missionary. And after winning the souls of 120,000 Ninevehites, Jonah sits down for a
grandstand view, waiting and hoping that God will burn them to a cinder. I mean, what kind of evangelist or
missionary or pastor is this? And if I were Jonah writing the book of Jonah, I
would start with the storm chapter one. Then I’d have the fish in chapter two. Then I’d have my personal struggles with
God in chapter 3. I conclude with a successful evangelistic series in chapter 4. That’s how I would write it.
It all came good in the end. But Jonah is honest enough to say that the storm obeys God, the fish obeys God,
the Nineveites and the animals in Nineveh obey God. But Jonah, God’s still struggling with that
hard-hearted missionary. Yeah, it’s a lesson to us that God calls us into ministry because we need saving.
And when we engage in active personal ministries and evangelism, God is changing us in the process. When the
love of God flows through us to other people, it cleans us up in the process.
So if you want to grow in grace, you want to grow in truth, you want to grow in Christlikkeness, literally knock on a
few doors. Start praying for your community. be involved in local ministry because God
will change you in the process. And this passage here um we see that uh from page
590 paragraph one this is this is the point we’re coming to with the mark of the beast. It says and then the great
deceiver will persuade men that those who are who serve God are causing these evils. These evils are the natural
disasters that Satan is himself bringing upon the world. The class that have provoked the displeasure of heaven will
charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reprove to transgressors. It
will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday Sabbath. That this sin has brought
calamities that will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly observed. and that those who present the
claimments of the fourth commandment thus restoring reverence for Sunday are troubers of the people preventing their
restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. So what is going to be happening at the end of time with these
unnatural disasters is Satan will appear as if he is the second coming of Christ.
He will simultaneously be causing natural disasters and he’ll be saying to the world the climate is in a crisis.
The people who are causing the climate crisis are the those who are faithful to God, who are keeping the commandments of
God. And therefore, they all need to be pressured into shifting to false
worship. It’s not just the governments of the world doing this. This is a satanic
struggle that we’re involved in right now. In the final delusion before Jesus
returns, Satan will appear to humanity as an angel of light. and the faithful
commandment pe keepers of God will be pressured to violate their conscience and adopt false worship all for the
alleged greater good of preserving a common planetary home. Now these days,
let’s go back a few slides, brother. Let’s go back. Go back. Go back. Go
back. Go back. Go back. Go back. Go back a few bit more. Okay. Go bit bit more.
Bit more. Bit more. All right. Back a bit more. Uh, okay. We’ll stay We’ll stay there. Okay. All right.
Brother Jod is in zombie mode this afternoon.
So today today there is immense pressure around the
world for climate lockdowns every year in the climate change
treaties the COP um events that gather every single year. There is immense pressure from the the uh the governments
of the world, the nonprofits, the activist groups of the world, the school children of the world. Greta Tumbberg
running her school strike for the environment. The kids of Europe taking one day a week off to protest the
government’s not doing enough to preserve and protect the environment. We see the papacy pushing very strongly for
Sunday lockdowns. Sunday lockdowns when they come in will almost certainly be under the guise of
preserving the n our common planetary home. That’s the language that is being used. And people will say, well, this is
only an environmental issue. But let me ask you this. Um, how quickly will it become a moral issue? How quickly will
will this world turn on those who who are faithful to the law of God rather than to these commands of men? Well, let
me put it this way. If you are in a lifeboat and you’re sailing away from a sinking ship and the lifeboat is full
and one person in that lifeboat is trying to drill holes in the bottom of the lifeboat, what would you do to that person?
You’d throw them overboard because they’re endangering our common planetary home.
And when you have when you have those who are observing and keeping and faithful to the commandments of God
being blamed for all the disasters coming upon this world, it becomes a moral issue for most of humanity, not
just an environmental issue. We need to shut those Sabbathkeepers down. We need to throw them off this boat.
In that case, eliminating the Sabbathke keepers becomes a moral good because in that case, you’re preserving the vast
majority of humanity. So it becomes a moral issue and not just environmental issue very very quickly.
So next slide brother we come to our end time indoctrination.
So let’s look at how the the the features of indoctrination we that we discussed this morning and last night.
How does this play out during the final crisis of the mark of the beast? The first things we note, I’m going to I’m
going to draw a comparison here between the pandemic and the final crisis of false worship and true worship and the
mark of the beast in Revelation 13 is that fear is a dominant emotion at a
global level. We saw that fear was promoted during the pandemic by the governments very deliberately in the
final crisis just before Jesus returns. We read in the teachings of Jesus in Luke 21 27 that people will faint from
fear and foroding of what is coming upon the world for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. It’s not just that our
environment appears to be collapsing. It’s that the the Milky Way itself is going crazy out there.
We also see in the final crisis that uh in the in the dimension that all humanity will be involved. We saw in the
pandemic that no country was immune from the covid pandemic. It affected every country on the planet earth. And in the
final crisis we read about the papacy in revelation 13:3 says in amazement the
whole earth followed the beast. It ex this is the second beast here. It exercises the authority of the first
beast on its behalf and it makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast. And so that this passage
here is telling us that in the final crisis, every nation under planet earth will be involved. It’s not something we
can escape. We also see that in terms of social division
in the pandemic, the world divided overnight into the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, the righteous and the
heretics. Those who preserve life allegedly and those who are super spreaders and bioteterrorists allegedly.
In the final crisis, the world will be split into two groups. And it’s not Republicans or Democrats. It’s not male
nor female, black or white, or any of the other dividing lines that people commonly use. It will be the righteous
versus the unrighteous. Those who receive the seal of God, Revelation 7 2
and 3, or those who receive the mark of the beast. That will be the new dividing line in the final crisis. We also see as
in the COVID pandemic that there will be a global hatred of the minority. As um I quote there from that scientist
from this morning, we are currently experiencing a tyranny of the unvaccinated. In the pandemic, it became
socially acceptable to demonize the unvaccinated, to marginalize them, to
cancel them, to denigrate them, to denounce them, and exclude them from polite society. It was a socially
acceptable to destroy people in the public arena. In the final crisis, Jesus
says this, “Then they will hand you over.” that is my faithful disciples to be tortured and will put you to death
and you’ll be hated by all nations because of my name. So the thing that will unite the world in the final crisis
is not whether we shift to CBDC’s or anything like that. The world will be united by a hatred of those who are
faithful to Jesus Christ. We saw it in the pandemic. We’re going to see it again. On the next slide we have
economic coercion. In the pandemic, we saw economic lockdowns
and re reopening of businesses around the world was contingent upon vaccination of staff or customers. There
was direct economic coercion. And in the final crisis, we read in Revelation
13:16-17. It says, “And it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free
and slave, to be marked on the right hand or in the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell who does not have the
mark, that is the name of the beast or the number of its name.” And so at the end of time, there will be economic
coercion against those who are faithful to the Lord. We also see intimidation.
We saw in the pandemic that there was bullying from politicians, the mainstream media, physicians, employers,
church leaders, and immediate family members. And see, in Matthew 24 and John 16,
Jesus speaks about the final crisis. He says, “They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, an hour is coming
when those who kill you will be think that by so doing they are offering worship to God.” Then he goes on to say,
“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” What this tells me here is when it says they think that those who
kill you will think that by so doing they’re offering worship to God is that those who are persecuting God’s faithful
followers at the end of time are themselves operating under a satanic delusion. They are deceived. So even in
this statement of Jesus there’s a hint of mercy for those who are acting within under Satan’s final delusions. Then we
see the next slide that indoctrination through fear. We saw in the pandemic that the mainstream media and the
governments pushed extreme fear across the entire media spectrum to gain compliance for the vaccinations, for
social distancing, for lockdowns, masks and other measures. And we also see that
in Revelation 13:3 and verse 12 says, “In amazement the whole earth followed the beast and it makes the earth and its
inhabitants worship the first beast.” So in amazement, the word is that thathomazo in Greek. It’s not just uh
this is an interesting thing to see. It’s that you are overwhelmed by what you see. Yeah. You’re overwhelmed by it. Just it’s just
so too big for you to comprehend. And then the second beast makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first
beast. So it’s actually changing how people think and it’s forcing them to adopt false worship. Then there is the
death penalty. In the pandemic, we saw that there was a refusal of life-saving transplants and other medical treatments
in hospitals in many countries of the world for the unvaccinated. There was professional and social death for the
unvaccinated. And in the final crisis, we see that the death penalty will once again be used.
It says, “And it was allowed to give birth to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast could even speak and cause those who would not worship
the image of the beast to be killed.” So, there will be economic coercion. There’ll be intimidation. There will be
um economic coercion and there’ll be fear. And there’ll be the death penalty.
There will also be the question of authority. What is the supreme authority in your life? Who do you trust? On whose
um advice do you make your own decisions? In the pandemic, we were told by Fouchy, I am the science. It was
almost like Jesus is saying before Moses was, I am. But Fouchi said, I am the
science. The prime minister of New Zealand said, “We will continue to be your single source of truth.” And of
course, there was the deplatforming of um alternate voices all across the social media spectrum. And in the final
crisis, Jesus speaks about this. He says, “When the spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.
And when you and the Isaiah 30 says, when you turn to the right, when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a
word behind you saying, “This is the way. Walk ye in it.” And so God promises his holy spirit to
guide those who are faithful to him. And uh if we are to uh walk into those walk
into heaven above, we need to be listening to the Holy Spirit today, not to the dominant voices in our political
sphere in America or anywhere else. Then we also find in the crisis of the covids
and in the final crisis that there will be betrayal within the church.
Slides. Thank you.
So betrayal within the church. The general conference reaffirmation
statement says therefore claims of religious liberty are not used appropriately objecting to government mandates or employer programs designed
to protect the health and safety of their communities. When Adam was created in the Garden of
Eden and there was nobody else, the first and the only commandment was thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, soul, and mind. It is only when Eve is created that the second commandment comes into play and you
shall love your neighbor as yourself. And so the first commandment is the
primordial commandment, our relationship with our creator. And our creator speaks to us through our conscience. And we are
to that is the relationship that matters more than anything else in life, having a right relationship with God. And so in
this statement here um our general conference presumes the right to say that claims of religious liberty are not
used appropriately and objecting. So religious liberty is you acting in harmony with your conscience. If you
object to something, it’s because the Holy Spirit has convicted you not to do something. So the general conference
says if the Holy Spirit has convicted your conscience not to take the shots, we have the authority to override the
Holy Spirit. This is betrayal within the church. And in the final crisis, Jesus talks
about this in Matthew 24. He says, “There many will fall away.” The world, the word is apo apostia, apostasy.
They’ll fall away from a standing on the truth. They will betray one another and they will hate one another. Then he goes
on to say that the love of many will grow cold within the church and there will be a rise of lawlessness as pastor
Haley was saying just recently and that lawlessness is anomir. That means there will be a rejection of the law of God
among God’s uh theoretically commandmentkeeping people. And so we find this betrayal within the
church in the final crisis. And uh then we come down to our last one here. Holy Spirit guidance. In the last three
years, multitudes were convicted worldwide through the convictions of the Holy Spirit upon their conscience not to
take the experimental gene therapy. In the final crisis, the book of Revelation says, and I’m quoting here, the spirit
and the bride say, “Come.” Let everyone who hears say, “Come, let everyone who
is thirsty, come. Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift.” End
quote. And so in the final crisis, God will be speaking to this world through the truth speakers in his people and
through the convictions of the Holy Spirit upon the consciences of the members of this world. in in the um the
current situation that we’re facing today, the World Economic Forum, the the mainstream media, the governments of our
world, and educational systems worldwide are busy indoctrinating children in the
public school system to prepare their minds to unquestionably accept whatever measures are needed to avert the alleged
climate crisis, i.e. false worship on Sunday, or as we call it, the mark of the beast. The climate crisis is the
next proxy battleground for the deeper battle going on for every person’s mind and loyalty either to Christ or to
Satan. The existential fear of this impending global climate crisis is
already being used to indoctrinate children to erase their cultural identity and their personal
individuality and is inducing a health crisis among children today all around
the world. The fear imposed on children is designed deliberately to overwhelm their
developing hippocampuses to create a compliant, passive, unquestioning population who will instinctively be
obedient to all the orders they receive from the global authorities in the final crisis of worship.
So how do we protect our minds? Okay, the healthy minds 101. All right,
first thing my wife says I have unique ability to depress people. Are you all suitably
depressed this afternoon? I hope not.
So, um, lifestyle factors. What can we do to protect our minds?
Firstly, optimize your hippocample neurogenesis. Live the Adventist health message. We know from medical research
that these are the factors that really improve your hippocampus. We’ve covered those already. If we go to the next
slide, um, we see that, uh, what’s up? Okay, optimize your brain health. Let’s
go to the next slide then, Jody. I got these mixed up. There you are. The the adventist health message, new start,
those principles there. And if you go to the next slide, we’ll see this is how this directly uh um develops or enhances
critical thinking faculties. Nutrition with iodine, micronutrients, and uh sufficiency, and omega-3 oils. One hour
of aerobic exercise a day expands the hippocampus by 2% a year. That directly
um fights against Alzheimer’s. Water with no sugary or artificial stimulants make their way into the brain. Sunshine
gives you adequate vitamin D. Temperance gives you weight control and the slowing of our modern lifestyle diseases. Air.
Fresh air improves your mood, cleans your lungs, increases energy levels, and lowers your heart rates, at least not to
zero. Rest. Um uh sleep is good on a nightly basis. And also the Sabbath. We
mentioned earlier today, oxytocin is released into your body through congregational singing, through human touch, giving somebody a hug, through
prayer and worship and trust. When you walk with God with a heavenly purpose in life, when your life does not cease or
begin or end with you, when you realize that your life is lived on a much broader canvas and God has a heavenly
task for you, which is to make you fishes of men, that gives you a purpose in life, which fosters hypocample
neurogenesis. So the Adventist health message directly contributes to to
having healthy thinking and preparing us for the final crisis of conscience which is a battle fought out in your mind. The
second thing I want to encourage you today is to control what you allow into your mind.
Guard your hearts and your minds. Don’t just engage in groom uh doom scrolling
on your phones. You’ve heard of that phrase yet. Doom scrolling. No. doomed people. They they they go to
they they like they read about, you know, there’s a possible earthquake on in Mount Etna and then they start looking at all the earthquakes that are
about to explode in the world today. And by the time you finished it, you’re scared to leave your living room,
but control what flows into your mind. You do have a filter. Use that filter.
The text I want to reference here is Philippians 4 8-9. What whatsoever is true, honorable,
just, pure, pleasing, or commendable, if there is anything excellent, if there is
anything worthy of praise, think about these things on a continual basis. Let this be what your mind dwells upon. What
does your mind where does your mind go when you’re sitting in the traffic jams in Portland on the way home from work? When your mind is tired, where does it
go? That’s a good indication of the natural tendencies of your mind. Be honest with yourself. Then ask yourself,
what can I fill my mind so that it is filled with heavenly thoughts and it lifts me out of the challenges of this
world so that I dwell in the courts of praise above? And so walking in the spirit, I’m trying
to keep up with my slides here. Just want to say be intentional about
what you watch. He’s got his eye on the clock. Be intentional about what you listen to. Be intentional about what you
read or discuss. Let your mind not dwell on fear, but on hope. Let your mind
dwell not on falsehood but on truth. Why would you watch the politicians? You
know when a politician is lying because the lips are moving. So why would you watch the politicians?
Focus not on doom scrolling but on truth seeking. Focus your mind not on the
words of men but on the word of God. Focus your mind not on the climate crisis that people talk about but on the
fact that there will be a new heavens and a new earth where every tear will be wiped away. Where are you focusing your
mind? Guard your hearts and your minds and set a guard for your children and your young people as well. Talk them
about these things so they are judicious consumers of all the stuff that is out there. There must be some guardrail.
There must be some filter. And it’s up to us to work those things out with our family members.
Because if we don’t work those things out in a biblically healthy way, Satan’s going to plant all kinds of garbage in
our children’s minds. and you have no idea what your kids are watching when you’re asleep at night on
their phones. So guard your family’s hearts and their minds. It’s your responsibility before
God. They are your stewardship responsibility. Thirdly, learn to recognize and live in
obedience to the prompings of the Holy Spirit or walk in the spirit. Don’t quench the spirit’s convictions. Don’t
despise the words of the prophets, but pray each morning on your knees for the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Pray daily
for the guidance of the spirit in your mind and for the fruits of the spirit in your character. Test the convictions of
your conscience against the scriptures. Sensitize your conscience to the voice of the Holy Spirit by daily obedience to
the convictions of the spirit and through daily reflection on the word of God. Learn through small sacrifices
today that you can trust the Holy Spirit when larger tests come tomorrow.
This is something we can all do from this moment on. I’m not talking here about taking a pill for the final
crisis, but we can be intentional from this day on about preparing ourselves
mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for what’s coming down the pike because we don’t want to be overwhelmed by it.
We don’t want to have our hearts failing us for fear. We want to be people of hope or as we read in the Old Testament,
I think Zechariah, we are to be prisoners of hope. Prisoners of hope that there’s nowhere we can go but there
is hope in our lives. So what do we say in conclusion here this afternoon? In the final crisis,
in the final crisis, next slide. And um yeah, next slide as well. In the final
crisis, we talk about the three angels messages. And if I were to summarize those three
angels messages simply, it would be this. The first angel’s message is God
revealed. The second angel’s message is Satan exposed. And the third angel’s
message is choose life. If you were to summarize those messages, you could look at those in various ways, but I like to
boil them down to the essence of what these messages are. The first thing, God is revealed as our loving creator who
has a moral claim upon us. In the second angel’s message, we are we are told that Satan is a deceiver and he’s seeking to
destroy this world through false teachings. And we see the misery in our world all around us. And in the third
angel’s message, we are encouraged by God to choose life rather than to choose death.
Choose life rather than to choose death. In a world of false narratives, of lying
scientists, of corrupt politicians, unscrupulous corporations, and satanic
manifestations, God will have a faithful remnant who will overcome everything this world can
throw at them. And by God’s grace, we will be counted in that faithful remnant.
In the parable of the 10 virgins, they all thought they were going to the wedding feast. They all fell asleep.
When they woke up, they discovered that five were going to enter the feast and five were going to be cast into outer
darkness. It’s a description of God’s end time church. People are going to church. They
think they’re going to get into heaven above when Jesus comes again. The tragedy is a large number are not going
to make it. Church membership in and of itself is not a guarantee of salvation.
A living walk with Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life.
So be intentional about your walk with God. Your walk with God doesn’t happen by chance. It doesn’t squeeze its way
into the cracks of a busy life. We are to be intentional on a daily basis about reading through the word of God and
praying and journaling and lifting our voices in praise and taking our minds out of this world into the courts of
praise above. If you’re intentional about it, God will meet you where you want to meet him. But if you are so busy
in ministry for God that you don’t have time for God, one day we’re going to hear those terrible phrase, that
terrible phrase, I never knew you. So don’t be so busy for God that we
forget to spend time with God. So I want to encourage you this evening
or this afternoon to love one another sacrificially to confess your sins daily before God
to practice the receiving of Christ’s righteousness every single morning. If you’re not baptized, to go through
the waters of baptism and die to the old way of life and rise to the start of a newness of life. To guard your heart and
your mind to feed your mind only on that which is truth.
To sensitize your conscience to the convictions of the Holy Spirit and be o obedient to the spirit today. Learn to
recognize his voice so that tomorrow in larger tests come, you’re in no doubt as to the path you are to take and endure
to the end. And one day, as the Apostle Paul put it, we can say with him, “I
have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. And from now on, there is
reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day. And not only to me, but to all who
have longed for his appearing.” So, here in the Pacific Northwest, I want to challenge you today. Fight the
good fight of faith. Eternity is a prize worth more than anything this world has to offer. Don’t give up on eternity.
Finish the race that God has laid out before you. Each one of us has a different race. We may run at a
different speed. We may start from a different starting place. We may end up in a different place. But run the race
that God has marked out for you because that is his perfect purpose for your will, for your life, and to keep the
faith. If you’re going to keep the faith, you must know the faith. To know the faith, you must know Jesus. So, walk
with the Lord daily. Keep the faith that he’s given you. Do not be ashamed of it
because uh salvation is God’s gift to the Gentiles and to the Jews. We are not to be ashamed of the gospel. It is God’s
good news for a broken world. keep the faith before you and we can live with hope that there is reserved for each one
of us a crown of righteousness which Jesus himself will give us when he comes in the clouds of glory. So keep to fight
the fight, run the race, keep the faith and with hope in your hearts one day by
God’s grace will receive a crown of righteousness and everlasting life. The prize is worth fighting for. Don’t
give up. Keep running. Keep fighting. Keep believing. And see what God can do
through you. Amen.

Thanks for your posting. Another issue is that being photographer will involve not only issues in capturing award-winning photographs but also hardships in getting the best video camera suited to your needs and most especially situations in maintaining the grade of your camera. That is very accurate and clear for those photography lovers that are straight into capturing the nature’s fascinating scenes : the mountains, the actual forests, the actual wild or maybe the seas. Visiting these adventurous places certainly requires a camera that can live up to the wild’s tough settings.
