There have been many who have looked for this Collector’s Edition magazine from the Smithsonian. I was asked to send a digital copy to a friend, and thought it would be good to get this out to others who may want a copy for themselves. You can find the images here in full resolution.
Born and raised in Alaska, my mother was from the only Federally recognized Indian Reserve in Alaska – Annette Island Indian Reserve, town of Metlakatla. She met my dad while attending college in Sitka, Alaska. I have three older brothers and a younger sister and adopted younger brother. My parents were both religious. My dad travelled the world with his dad – a presbyterian minister in the military. My mother grew up going to Sunday school and church. Naturally, they brought us up in the church, morning devotions, attending church and Sunday school weekly – participating in vacation bible school, and various other church related activities. Both were Sunday-Keepers. I was water immersed baptized at about age 9. It was done because my brothers were being baptized and I was forced to do it. I didn’t understand baptism – but did what I was […]
My Testimony and How God Has Led Me.
By Richard Story
The purpose of this testimony is not intended to be an all-inclusive autobiography. I’m trying to tell how I kept Jesus out of my heart, and He finally got me to listen to Him.
I was born in a Naval hospital, in Atlanta, Georgia, during a snow storm which is highly unusual for Georgia, even if it was December 12, 1944. I was 22 inches long, and weighed 6 lbs 12 oz. My initial size belied the fact that throughout my life I’ve been average height and definitely […]
It’s very possible that the others involved in this quandary will remember the details a bit differently than I do, but this is how I recall the situations to the best of my ability in a succinct way.
If you too have a story to share, please send that story through an email here.
Toward the end of 2014 I was studying the book of Revelation to teach it as a series of verse by verse lectures. I knew Revelation 3:14 would give me trouble in my current understanding as a […]
(I asked Christina if I could share this paper, which she had written for a high-school homework assignment… praise God. =)
Can we overcome sin and, if we can, how? Revelation chapters two, three, and twenty-one all say “To him that overcometh”… and go on to describe the rewards of the overcomer. Why would it say that if overcoming is impossible? How can we overcome? The answer is in 1 John 4:4 which says, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that […]
I found a copy of the Great Controversy in a thrift shop & read about the Sabbath. I made the Sabbath as my day of rest & the horses had off from work too. I found an SDA church nearby so I started attending. I was an ex-New Ager & an atheist so I did not really know anything about Christian things.
I showed all the studies to all my church members and they are studying out your notes. Everyone is shocked [and] they promised not to mention it to the pastor yet. I don’t want him to know yet, [as] I thought it best to let everyone study it out on their own first. Be in prayer…!
Hi Daniel.
Thank you for you quick response to my email. Thank you for the information you have offered.
A woman stared at me while at an airport. I looked at her, nodded, smiled a bit, and turned away. She came up to me and asked, “Is your name Daniel Mesa?“ We talked for a good 30 minutes or so and I then shared some of the messages with her that I had just posted up on line (YouTube.com/RevelationWithDaniel). Following, is her response:
“I still want to tell you what God communicated to me for the first time in all my years of being a sda when I watched the angel video 1 the first time I was watching it.
God spoke to me in almost a divine revelation and it […]
Hello Again,
After finding that quote last night, “Those who do the words of Christ will perfect a Christian character, because Christ’s will is their will. Thus is Christ formed within, the hope of glory. { PH028 8.2 }” I did a search on “Christ formed within” which yielded 51 hits. Here are some of the highlights I found.
The hidden wisdom, which is Christ formed within, the hope of glory, is a wisdom high as heaven. ( The Review and Herald, July 18, 1899). { 6BC 1114.1 }
We want Christ formed within, the hope of glory. { GH December 1, 1899, par. 2 }
Catch the divine rays of light from Christ […]
Was truly blessed yesterday watching some angels sermons you gave! Look forward to digging into that topic more. Amazing.“Praise God for this powerful and inspired message! I can see why this is so important to understand for the end times… may none of us find ourselves hardening our hearts against all that the LORD wants to reveal to us through His ministering angels sent to His servants. God bless you and strengthen you Pr. Daniel, as you continue to obey His voice and give the messages entrusted to you. You are in our prayers.”
I watched this study last Sabbath and I have not been the same since. It is so eye-opening. I will restudy it again this weekend under a clearer eye and understanding. The first time sent had me in shock and ran me into my prayer closet for the full week. God revealed every word is true. Thank you!
As much as I love the Lord this study revealed I had an idol I had made up for myself, it also showed me I still believed in the third [being] of the Godhead without realizing it.I would recommend this study to anyone who is serious about their walk with the Lord.
I was so shocked I broke down in tears and ran into my closet. I had so many emotions running through me. I was in sackcloth and ashes for a full week repenting and pleading for […]
My name is Stephen (Steve) Porter. I believe in the seventh day Sabbath and I believe that the second advent of Christ is coming soon.
God sends His holy angels to minister to me. I have always known that, it just didn’t register in my head. I just thought the holy angels protected me from the unholy angels and that was about it. That’s one of their jobs. But there is so much more!
It has been about a year now that on just another evening of bible study that my good friend and his wife said they had something new to show me. It had to do with the trinity.
In a part of Africa:
“I am fine but to be honest things are so bad here. There is insecurity, corruption, nepotism, favoritism and religious oppression going on here. A Muslim terrorist group called Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen have been killing Christians indiscriminately. I have graduated from the university since 2012 without a job. To survive has been like hell on earth.“
Please pray for so many people like this…
I just got this note from a friend, a believer in the true God:
“I feel whole heartedly I will see Christ coming in the clouds. I used to be terrified of the Sunday Mark of the beast time of trouble stuff, but God has changed my heart so dramatically that I now pray He allows me to be…. And I have no fear attached because I feel very grounded in Christ. It’s really very amazing how God can change dramatically the desires of one’s heart. I really love God… It’s so much of a different faith when you actually know God and Christ, it’s just amazing how everything… I mean literally everything in my heart and mind has changed. 💜 I just feel like I can’t get enough of God. I am ready to be hated […]
Dear Mr. Mesa,
My name is Stephen Porter. My home is in Las Cruces New Mexico. I am originally from St. Paul Minnesota. I moved to the Buffalo area of New York in 2015 and married a Christian woman (a Baptist). We lived there for two and a half years before moving to New Mexico. We now visit New York, during the summer to visit her grandbabies.
I became an Adventist in 1971 while in the Marine Corps. I was selected to be the Chaplains assistant and the protestant chaplain was a Seventh-day Pastor named Harold Eslinger. He showed me the truth and I was baptized into the church. Much to the […]
I don’t know ANYTHING about this man except for what he says in this short testimony–and it’s powerful.
