SIX SIGNS OF SLAVERY AMONG Seventh-Day Adventists

A Special Bestowal of Spiritual Grace, November 4

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Acts 2:41, 42. It is true that in the time of the end, when God's work in the earth is closing, the earnest efforts put forth by consecrated believers under the guidance of the Holy Spirit are to be accompanied by special tokens of divine favor. Under the figure of the early and the latter rain, that falls in Eastern lands at seedtime and harvest, the Hebrew prophets foretold the bestowal of spiritual grace in extraordinary measure upon God's church. The outpouring of the Spirit in the days of the apostles was the beginning of the early, or former, rain, and glorious was the result. To the end of time the presence of the Spirit is to abide with the true church. But near the close of earth's harvest, a special bestowal of spiritual grace is promised to prepare the church for the coming of the Son of man. This outpouring of the Spirit is likened to the falling of the latter rain; and it is for this added power that Christians are to send their petitions to the Lord of the harvest “in the time of the latter rain.” In response, “the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain” (Zechariah 10:1). “He will cause to come down ... the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain” (Joel 2:23). But unless the members of God's church today have a living connection with the Source of all spiritual growth, they will not be ready for the time of reaping. Unless they keep their lamps trimmed and burning, they will fail of receiving added grace in times of special need.—The Acts of the Apostles, 54, 55.

Prophetic Intelligence Briefing

Survivors rush to aid victims in ‘crumbled’ cars after super fog causes deadly pileup in Louisiana On Nov 01, 2023 07:30 am share on Twitter Like Survivors rush to aid victims in ‘crumbled’ cars after super fog causes deadly pileup in Louisiana on Facebook FOX Weather, by Emilee Speck: Extreme weather reduced visibility on a major interstate in Louisiana, resulting in a massive pileup resembling a “war zone,” according to crash witnesses. A combination of wildfire smoke and dense fog – known as super fog – reduced visibility to near zero on Interstate 55 near Manchac, causing tractor-trailers and dozens of vehicles to crash, creating an 11-mile backup. At least two people were killed, and many others injured, according to St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office. Lance Scott, of Mandeville, was driving his daughter to the airport on southbound I-55 when he looked down and saw red on his GPS. Traveling at about 65 mph, he immediately hit the brakes, and it was just in time. He described hearing vehicles ahead and behind him crashing one after another. “Probably two or 3 seconds after we came to a stop, you just heard ‘boom, boom, boom, boom’ collision after collision behind us,” Scott said. “As far as you can see, it’s just crumbled.” After waiting to ensure it was safe, Scott and his daughter exited the car to see the massive pileup. Scott estimated between 75 and 100 vehicles were involved in collisions. “I’ve never been in a war zone, but I would imagine this is probably what it looks like. Cars were on fire. You can hear the tires popping. And, you know, it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before,” Scott said. Video taken by Scott after the crash shows vehicles on top of each other, motor oil spilled throughout the crashes and pieces of trucks and cars littering the ground. Scott said good Samaritans immediately started helping injured people after the crash, including his daughter, an ICU nurse. “She hopped out, and she was helping people for about 2 hours,” he said. “Just right place, right time, where she can help some people. Unfortunately, there are going to be some people that, as you reported, are not going to walk away from that.” The pileup happened on an elevated freeway, making it even more difficult for paramedics and firefighters to get to the crash site. Scott said first responders set up a triage site in the northbound lanes of I-55, and some people were being transported via gurneys over the highway railing to reach ambulances. Firefighters have been dousing vehicles on fire with water to put out the blazes. Several 18-wheelers collided with three catching fire, according to the sheriff’s office. The smoke from the vehicle fires added to the wildfire smoke and fog, which created poor visibility, causing the deadly crash. “There were several vehicles on fire … they wanted to keep the fire from engulfing the whole pile up,” Scott said, adding the smell in the area is like “a lot of burnt rubber.” It will be a complicated cleanup process after the crash due to the elevated portion of the highway over the marsh. Extreme drought and heat have fueled the wildfire season in Louisiana. The fire contributing to Monday’s deadly conditions was started in July but recently sparked again. Prophetic Link: “We see in our world confusion upon confusion. We hear of accidents by sea and by land. Crime is increasing—this we know from the reports of our daily newspapers. Political developments in San Francisco are of a character to show how little confidence can be placed in the men who occupy official positions. Many of these men, some even who profess to be religious, are being exposed before the public as guilty of various crimes. They are giving evidence that it is time for the Lord of heaven to destroy their property. The last great issue is soon to come. We must see, we must understand, that the spirit of God is being withdrawn from the wicked nations who have long discarded God’s Word and have formed false theories and false laws, exalting them above the commandments of God.” Letters and Manuscripts, Volume 21, Lt 400, 1906, par. 2 Source References Survivors rush to aid victims in ‘crumbled’ cars after super fog causes deadly pileup in Louisiana

A Prayer in Behalf of God's People, October 31

O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. Daniel 9:19. Heavenly Father, Thou hast said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (Matthew 7:7) . Heavenly Father, we need Thy Holy Spirit. We do not want to work ourselves, only as we work in unity with God. We want to be in a position where the Holy Spirit of God shall be upon us with its reviving, sanctifying power. Wilt Thou manifest Thyself unto us this very morning! Wilt Thou sweep away every mist and every cloud of darkness! We come to Thee, our compassionate Redeemer; and we ask Thee, for Christ's sake—for Thine own Son's sake, my Father, that Thou wilt manifest Thy power unto Thy people here. We want wisdom; we want righteousness; we want truth; we want the Holy Spirit to be with us. Thou hast presented before us a great work that must be carried forward in behalf of those that are in the truth, and in behalf of those that are in ignorance of our faith; and oh, Lord, as Thou hast given to every man his work, we beseech of Thee that the Holy Spirit may impress the human mind in regard to the burden of work that shall rest upon every individual soul, according to Thine appointment. We want to be proved; we want to be sanctified through and through; we want to be fitted up for the work; and here, right here in this session of the conference, we want to see a revelation of the Holy Spirit of God. We want light, Lord—Thou art the Light. We want truth, Lord—Thou art the Truth. We want the right way—Thou art the Way. Lord, I beseech of Thee that we may all be wise enough to discern that we must individually open the heart to Jesus Christ, that through the Holy Spirit He may come in to mold and fashion us anew, in accordance with the divine Image. Oh, my Father, my Father! melt and subdue our hearts.—The General Conference Bulletin, April 2, 1903.
