✅True Sabbathkeeping, in conformity with God's holy law, can only take place when God's original purpose in His establishment of the seventh-day Sabbath is clearly understood, and when love for God in the heart is supreme. By keeping the Sabbath holy according to God's instructions in His Word, we confirm our relation and allegiance to Him as our God, Creator, Redeemer, and heavenly Father.🌺🦋

PRAYER AND OBEDIENCE

🌺🍁Prayer Is Heaven's Plan for Success Against Sin🙏❗

—There are many who, though striving to obey God's commandments, have little peace or joy. This lack in their experience is the result of a failure to exercise faith. They walk as it were in a salt land, a parched wilderness. They claim little, when they might claim much; for there is no limit to the promises of God. Such ones do not correctly represent the sanctification that comes through obedience to the truth. The Lord would have all His sons and daughters happy, peaceful, and obedient. Through the exercise of faith the believer comes into possession of these blessings. Through faith, every deficiency of character may be supplied, every defilement cleansed, every fault corrected, every excellence developed.

Prayer is heaven's ordained means of success in the conflict with sin and the development of Christian character. The divine influences that come in answer to the prayer of faith will accomplish in the soul of the suppliant all for which he pleads. For the pardon of sin, for the Holy Spirit, for a Christlike temper, for wisdom and strength to do His work, for any gift He has promised, we may ask; and the promise is, "Ye shall receive."(The Acts of the Apostles, 563, 564.) Prayer 64.3 - 65.1

🌺BE FULL OF COMPASSION✨

Being a Good Neighbor
"Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous." Psalm 112:4.📌📌📌

Wherever there is an impulse of love and sympathy, wherever the heart reaches out to bless and uplift others, there is revealed the working of God's Holy Spirit. In the depths of heathenism men who have had no knowledge of the written law of God, who have never even heard the name of Christ, have been kind to His servants, protecting them at the risk of their own lives. Their acts show the working of a divine power. The Holy Spirit has implanted the grace of Christ in the heart of the savage, quickening his sympathies contrary to his nature, contrary to his education....

Christ is seeking to uplift all who will be lifted to companionship with Himself, that we may be one with Him as He is one with the Father. He permits us to come in contact with suffering and calamity in order to call us out of our selfishness; He seeks to develop in us the attributes of His character—compassion, tenderness, and love. By accepting this work of ministry we place ourselves in His school, to be fitted for the courts of God....

By cooperating with heavenly beings in their work on earth, we are preparing for their companionship in heaven. "Ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation," angels in heaven will welcome those who on earth have lived "not to be ministered unto, but to minister." In this blessed companionship we shall learn, to our eternal joy, all that is wrapped up in the question, "Who is my neighbor?" My Life Today 237.4

🍂👉"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." James 2:17

“God requires the homage of a sanctified soul, which has prepared itself, by the exercise of the faith that works by love, to serve Him. He holds up before us the highest ideal, even perfection. He asks us to be absolutely and completely for Him in this world as He is for us in the presence of God.”—The Acts of the Apostles, p. 566.

“By the miracle of divine grace, many may be fitted for lives of usefulness. Despised and forsaken, they have become utterly discouraged; they may appear stoical and stolid. But under the ministration of the Holy Spirit, the stupidity that makes their uplifting appear so hopeless will pass away. The dull, clouded mind will awake. The slave of sin will be set free. Vice will disappear, and ignorance will be overcome. Through the faith that works by love, the heart will be purified and the mind enlightened.”—The Ministry of Healing, p. 169.

📎One time, a youth told me,

📌"Sister, ang gulo ng sitwatsyon ko ngayon, ang daming humahadlang sa pagbabalik loob ko sa Panginoon. Problema sa pamilya at mga panunukso ng kaaway, mga bagay na hindi kaya ng aking pananampalatayang mapanagumpayan. Nananalig ako pero may mga problemang walang solusyon at may may mga tanong na walang sagot. Sister, paano ba ako muling magkakaroon ng matatag na pananampalataya sa Panginoon?

'Yan ang katanungan sa akin ng kabataang ito. Katanungan na hindi ko alam kung nasagot ko ba ng tama. Sabi ko sa kanya,

🦋🍂"Ipanalangin mo kapatid. Confess all your infirmities and negligence to Him. Surrender yourself to Him and you will be freed from those problems and your questions will be answered. Restoring our faith in God ay nangangailangan ng pagtatalaga ng ating buhay sa kanya. He knows what is best for us. Bumalik ka ulit sa pagsunod sa kanyang mga kautusan kapatid along with frequent earnest prayers, hindi natin mamamalayan mapapabuti ang ating buhay. Alam ng Panginoon ang kalagayan natin ngayon, hinihintay lng Nya tayong lumapit sa kanya at humingi ng tulong at paggabay. Miracles will soon to happen in our lives if we will believe that Christ works in our life. We should always remember na ang buhay natin dto sa lupa ay pansamantala lamang, 'wag sana natin itong sayangin sa mga hindi makabuluhang mga bagay. It is never too late na lumapit sa Panginoon ngayon. Ngunit ating alalahanin maikli na lamang ang ating panahon."🌿🌿🌿

I don't know actually kung tama ang aking pagkakasagot. That's why I am seeking for further advice sa kapatid po nating ito. Although very weak ang pananampalataya, I believe na there's a plan na inilaan ang Panginoon sa bawat mananampalataya sa kanya.☘️

Thank you and God Bless mga kapatid.☺️
Happy Sabbath 🙏🙏🙏

“The Lord requires at this time just what He required of Adam in Eden—perfect obedience to the law of God.”—Faith and Works, p. 89.

"No meat will be used by His people."-Ibid., p. 82 (1884).

"Among those who are waiting for the coming of the Lord, meat eating will eventually be done away; flesh will cease to form a part of their diet. We should ever keep this end in view, and endeavor to work steadily toward it. I cannot think that in the practice of flesh eating we are in harmony with the light which God has been pleased to give us."-Ibid., pp. 380, 381 (1890).

"The meat diet is the serious question. Shall human beings live on the flesh of dead animals? The answer, from the light that God has given is, No, decidedly No."-Ibid., p. 388 (1897).

Although the light on health reform had already come to the people of God, and the main reasons why meat eating should be discarded had been stated, at the turn of the century (1899-1900) the Advent people were not yet prepared to accept all the light on the question of diet. "My brother, you are not to make a test for the people of God upon the question of diet."-Ibid., p. 205 (1901).

"Those who use flesh meat disregard all the warnings that God has given concerning this question. They have no evidence that they are walking in safe paths."-Ibid. (1902).

"At this stage of the earth's history meat eating is dishonoring to God. It is meat eating and liquor drinking that are making the world as it was in the days of Noah."-Bible Training School, July 1, 1902.

"Many who are now only half converted on the question of meat eating will go from God's people to walk no more with them."-Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 382 (1902).

"God's people are to take a firm stand against meat eating."-Ibid., p. 383 (1902).

"It is for their own good that the Lord counsels the remnant church to discard the use of flesh meats, tea, and coffee, and other harmful foods. There are plenty of other things on which we can subsist that are wholesome and good."-Ibid., p. 381 (1908).

Restoration of the Original Diet

At the beginning of the world, before the entrance of sin, God said to our first parents:

"Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat" (Genesis 1:29).

"Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables constitute the diet chosen for us by our Creator."-The Ministry of Healing, p. 296.

"When flesh food is discarded, its place should be supplied with a variety of grains, nuts, vegetables, and fruits that will be both nourishing and appetizing."-Ibid., p. 316.

"Again and again I have been shown that God is trying to lead us back, step by step, to His original design-that man should subsist upon the natural products of the earth."-Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 380.

362.

"A strict compliance with the requirements of God is beneficial to the health of body and mind. In order to reach the highest standard of moral and intellectual attainments, it is necessary to seek wisdom and strength from God, and to observe strict temperance in all the habits of life."-Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 32.

"We wish to present temperance and health reform from a Bible standpoint, and to be very cautious not to go to extremes in abruptly advocating health reform. Let us be careful not to graft into health reform one false shoot according to our own peculiar overstrained ideas and weave into it our own strong traits of character making these as the voice of God, and passing judgment on all who do not see as we do."-Selected Messages, bk. 3, pp. 284, 285.

"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Hebrews 10:25.

To every Youth,
"Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." 1 John 2:15-17.

Being as frail reeds blowing in the wind, show yourselves as those who have root in themselves—that you believe and that you practice the truth, and its sanctifying power is upon your life and character. Then you will be walking in the light while you have the light. Will the young men and young women who really love Jesus organize themselves as workers, not only for those who profess to be Sabbath keepers, but for those who are not of our faith; for there is no respect of persons with God? All souls are precious; they are the purchase of the blood of the Son of God. Why has there been so little interest and soul burden for sinners? Many outside of the ranks of Sabbath keepers, who have not had the light, give more promise of becoming children of God, joint heirs with Jesus, than do those who have had the light of truth, and who have not appreciated it, but have walked in the sparks of their own kindling. No one can labor successfully for souls, without true, earnest, unselfish interest. Those who do so labor will see souls converted and will themselves grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. They will not have a dwarfed experience in the things of God. They will be learners in the school of Christ, and educators as well, making known to others the things which they have learned of Jesus.—The Signs of the Times, May 29, 1893.

The young are naturally inclined to feel that not much responsibility, caretaking, or burden-bearing is expected of them. But upon every one rests the obligation to reach the Bible standard. The light that shines forth in privileges and opportunities, in the ministry of the word, in counsels, warnings, and reproofs, will perfect character, or will condemn the careless. This light is to be cherished by the young as well as by those who are older. Who will now take their stand for God, determined to give his service the first-place in their lives? Who will be burden-bearers?

Excitement is real😅 Let us all attend.

Wrong Ideas of Courship

The courtship now adays is carried on in a spirit of flirtation. Which violate the rules of modesty and reservation of practices that should be done in marrage.

1. Keeping late Hours

The habit of sitting up late at night is customary; but it is not pleasing to God, even if you are both Christians.

These untimely hours injure health, unfit the mind for the next day’s duties, and have an appearance of evil. My brother, I hope you will have self-respect enough to shun this form of courtship. Kung mahal mo you care for her/His health.

It would be more appropriate to let some of the hours of courtship before marriage run through the married life.

2. Secret Communication.

A young man who enjoys the society and wins the friendship of a young lady unbeknown to her parents does not act a noble Christian part toward her or toward her parents.

Through secret communications and meetings he may gain an influence over the girl's mind, but in so doing he fails to manifest that nobility and integrity of soul which every child of God will possess.

3. Stealing of affecton
“Thou shalt not steal” was written by the finger of God upon the tables of stone, yet how much underhand stealing of affections is practiced and excused!

Having secret communication and hang outs that na hindi alam ng parents are types of stealing. Godly man should know this. Remember while youre not married you are still under parents care kahit malayo kaman sa pamilya mo, kung may respeto ka ipaalam mo. Tandaan mong pag na disgrasya ka, saan ka ba tatakbo sa kanila rin nman diba?

Beloved go on a right process that can glorify God even in your youthful age.

- - -
He who refuses to connect with God, and puts himself in the way of temptation will surely fall.
Tandaan mong pag nagpadala ka sa practices ng mundo at na temp ka you can never return to rectify your mistakes cause of your carelessness.

Love is a precious gift, which we receive from Jesus. Pure and holy affection is not a feeling, but a principle.
Beloved, a Christ principle.

Remember this beloved :

Jesus has purchased you with His own life; you belong to Him; therefore He is to be consulted in all things, as to how the powers of your mind and the affections of your heart shall be employed.

The Church cannot measure herself by the world, nor by the opinion of men nor by what she once was. 5T 83.

If most earnest vigilance is not manifested at the great heart of the work to protect the interest of the cause, the church will become as corrupt as the churches of other denominations. 4T 513
