It may be good for us to go back to following the feast days. This is one that I am still researching out for myself.

Anger Expose
Anger Expose
Anger can lead to murder
Genesis 4:3-8
New International Version (NIV)
3 In the course of time Cain brought some of
the fruits of the soil as an offering to Yĕhovah. 4 And
Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his
flock. The Yĕhovah looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but
on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry,
and his face was downcast.
6 Then Yĕhovah said to Cain, “Why are
you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is
right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is
crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”
8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s
go out to the field.”[a] While they were in the
field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
Anger leads to evil actions
Psalm 37:8
New International Version (NIV)
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
Showing anger is foolish
Proverbs 12:16
New International Version (NIV)
16 Fools show their annoyance at once,
but the prudent overlook an insult.
but the prudent overlook an insult.
Anger can be turned away
Proverbs 15:1
New International Version (NIV)
15 A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Being quick tempered is foolish
Ecclesiastes 7:9
New International Version (NIV)
9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit,
for anger resides in the lap of fools.
for anger resides in the lap of fools.
Yehovah becomes angry when we are controlled by our anger
Amos 1:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 This is what the Yĕhovah says:
“For three sins of Edom,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he pursued his brother with a sword
and slaughtered the women of the land,
because his anger raged continually
and his fury flamed unchecked,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he pursued his brother with a sword
and slaughtered the women of the land,
because his anger raged continually
and his fury flamed unchecked,
Anger is like murdering someone
Matthew 5:21-22
New International Version (NIV)
Murder
21 “You have heard that it was said to the
people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a] and anyone who murders will be subject to
judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a
brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone
who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court. And anyone who
says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.
Jesus was angry because of sin
John 2:13-17
New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Clears the Temple Courts
13 When it was almost time for the Jewish
Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts
he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables
exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove
all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of
the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who
sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into
a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written:
“Zeal for your house will consume me.”[a]
Anger can give Satan a place in your life.
Ephesians 4:26-27
New International Version (NIV)
26 “In your anger do not sin”[a]: Do not let the sun go down while you are
still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
Christians or followers of Jesus should get rid of anger
Colossians 3:8
New International Version (NIV)
8 But now you must also rid yourselves of
all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language
from your lips.
Leaders should not be quick tempered
Titus 1:7
New International Version (NIV)
7 Since an overseer manages The Divine One's(
Jesus) household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not
given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
Be slow to become angry.
James 1:19
New International Version (NIV)
Listening and Doing
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note
of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become
angry,

A missonary Calling
Hello and may the grace
of Jehovah be with you my friends. Welcome to one and all. I encourage each of
you to take a deep breath and to relax. I honestly believe that we should feel
like we are welcomed in the Yahweh’s Holy Sanctuary and that we should be able
to find peace and joy.
My question for us today is are we to witness to others?
Several sermons that I have listened to over the years have laid a foundation
for this and what we are going to attempt to do is to build a wall up onto that
foundation!
Please turn with me to
Matthew 28:18-20
Matthew 28:18-20
New International
Version (NIV)
18 Then
Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been
given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
These verses are in
essence our marching orders! In the book Gospel Workers on Page 115 the writer
Ellen Gould White says this;
“The duke of Wellington was once present where a party of
Christian men were discussing the possibility of success in missionary effort
among the heathen. They appealed to the duke to say whether in his judgment
such efforts were likely to prove a success commensurate to the cost. The old solder
replied “Gentleman what are your marching orders? Success is not the question
for you to discuss. If I read your orders aright, they run thus ‘Go ye into all
the world and preach the gospel to every creature’ Gentleman, and I would add
ladies to this, obey your marching orders!
Ellen white also says in another place that we are to go
in small groups of two to three people. I think this is because if we take too
many with us we would overwhelm the person or persons that we are going to
reach out to!
Many churches are planning on a massive outreach program,
and ladies and gentlemen I have to honestly say, that if we gain only one soul
to His kingdom we will have won a battle and we will have succeeded in our task
that is set before us. Amen? I want more than one person to come to know Him
though and I think we all can pray for this! Amen?
Please turn w/ me to
John 5:31-38
Testimonies About Jesus
31 “If
I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is
another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is
true.
33 “You
have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. 34 Not
that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. 35 John
was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his
light.
36 “I
have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has
given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has
sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified
concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, 38 nor
does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.
Back in verse 31 it
clearly says that we are not to testify on our own behalf. We are to follow Christ’s
example and testify on Jehovah’s behalf only. Amen? We are not to puff
ourselves up, we are not to glorify ourselves, we are to point only to the one
who was willing to come down and die for just us and my friends He would have
come and done that if it was for only one soul!!
In the past month to two months, I have had experiences
where I have puffed my own self up thinking that I was going to do something
very powerful for Jehovah, But each time that I have done this Jehovah has said
No Reggie the message today is to be a learning experience for you alone or
Jehovah has only allowed me to reach one to three people at a time. Jehovah is
very slowly showing me that it is on a person by person case, not necessarily a
whole group that we are to reach out to and draw unto Him.
Please turn with me to
John 5:41-44
John 5:41-44
New International
Version (NIV)
41 “I
do not accept glory from human beings, 42 but I know you. I
know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43 I
have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else
comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can you
believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that
comes from the only God[a]?
I have to ask based on these verses should we as
Christians be afraid of what people think of us? Should we submit to worldly
peer pressure and fall asleep and lose our oil of the Holy Spirit and Ellen G.
white also says that the oil also represents our character. My friends you
cannot sell or give away your character it cannot be done! Let me so that your
character can be changed by what you watch or listen to though. I believe that
we are to go through a refining fire if we are to be able to grow up into the
type of character that Jehovah would want us to be, Amen?
We should also be very careful in accepting those who
only come glorifying only themselves. I would also challenge each of us, even
myself, to only search for the honor that comes from Jehovah, the type of honor
that we cannot receive here on this very wicked world! Amen?
Please turn with me to
Psalms 51:12-15
These verses I believe hold
the very key that unlocks our ability our strength if you like, to be able to
go out and witness.
Psalm 51:12-15
New International
Version (NIV)
12 Restore
to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then
I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise
so that sinners will turn back to you.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise
Lets examine these
verses for a minute, especially the last one. Are you unable to speak out and
praise Jehovah? Are you, as I once was, so very angry that only hate and anger
flows out of you? Then I beg of you to as David did to be reminded of the very
day of your salvation, to be reminded of how Jehovah and Jesus brought you out
of the Land of darkness, how he rescued you out of the confusion of the world.
In closing, let us get
out there and work for lost souls, the time is now, not later.
