Was the Holy Spirit with us last night?! Man!! Pure 🔥 and we’re just at the beginning! Angelo brought his A game to the table!! What an amazing chapter! My word was: THRESHOLD - A threshold is the point of transition-a doorway between the old and the new, between misconception and truth. The people are standing at the edge of something monumental, though they do not yet understand it. Jesus is about to lead them across this threshold, unveiling the true nature of His kingdom in a way that will turn their expectations upside down.
Looking forward to watching this today. I need this! Have a beautiful and blessed week, my friends, as we are blessed by the BEST friend there ever has been🙌🎉💜🕊🎉🎉🙌
I love the point and picture Angelo brings out at the 1:02:40 mark. I totally agree and believe that the Divine power that is gushing forth out of Christ is His divine love which keeps the listeners spellbound! Gods love/righteousness is going to be emphasized very much from here on out. Thank you Jesus! Praise God!
Yeah, I thought that was a GREAT point too. She continues with that theme in the next chapter as well. Thanks for the excellent and thoughtful comment!
@@JackieHolliday He had a serious accident while exercising and had to have something like 20 surgeries to fix his teeth, jaw, and mouth. He preaches a beautiful sermon about it now. Happened a couple years ago, so fairly recently. Check out his Instagram for photos (gruesome) and the whole journey. It's an incredible story. He's such a beautiful person.
My word is pivotal. Glad you decided to try to respond to us night shift workers who have to follow mostly on RUclips! I have been very blessed with the DA series and definitely drawn closer to the Lord, so thank you!
My word is Kingdom. I really enjoyed the point you guys made about the subtle difference between kingdom and empire. Even though it is a small shift, it absolutely shapes Jesus’ entire earthly ministry. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like…” Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts and for hosting!
I haven't engaged with spiritual content for a while. Life is difficult and lonely, and my heart has gradually become so hardened that whenever I see anything uplifting, I 'check out' emotionally and keep mindlessly scrolling. Sad, huh... for a while there, I really didn't care about anything. Jesus has been trying to get through to me for some time, and I kept ignoring Him... but I'm listening now.
THANK YOU for sharing!! "I'm listening now." That's it, right there; that's where it all begins. Keep listening! Be open and attentive. God will not disappoint you. "11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:11-13). Here's another gem, a PROMISE for you from Jesus Himself: "28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:28-30). God's got this! Keep listening, dear friend.
@@DavidAsscherick Thank you for the words of encouragement and for sharing those Bible promises. By the grace of God, I'll keep an open mind and heart... and will keep listening. 🥹🙏
I watched the your intro on IG live and switched over to RUclips yesterday for this session (due to family schedule). Really excited to be reading this book with this community. I had the same paragraph highlighted in the preface. What a message! "He sees MORE."
Wow, loved this study!! So excited about going up to the mountain and experience God's incredible message just for me!! Thankyou so much David and Angelo for sharing!! Blessings for your ministry!!
Totally blessed by this session. I am running a day behind schedule but it is still wonderful to be learning with you all. May God bless us as we draw closer to Him through His word.
I am sure this ll be a great study.. infact your DA with DA helped us in reading DA as a part of our master guide program here in India.. God bless you and ur team...
WOW, I really, really like this! "Morning" really captures the essence of what's happening with Jesus, doesn't it? It communicates light, hope, and even optimism. Love it! And THANK YOU for sharing. 🙌
My word is mindset…… David , isn’t this current hope of Nationalism today, the same as the Jews experienced in Jesus’ day? It shouldn’t be too hard to put ourselves into their mindset in our own imagination. Just look at our own political landscape of today. Bottom line - politically, we are so like the Jews (nationals, isolationists, power-seeking) sitting on the mount waiting for Jesus to speak. Will we listen and understand today? This chapter has opened my eyes and calls for repentance. Today, through these chapters that we are reading together is a call to examine ourselves and what our expectations of the Messiah are. My prayer is that we examine our current mindset through each and every chapter.
God created the nations and the devil is the globalist .... Until the new earth unity will be under satan on this current earth .... Globalism is rebuilding the tower of babel
Thanks for doing this. Putting your sessions on RUclips. Our schedule, unfortunately does not always allow to go live on instagram. This weekend we had complete, so I’m catching up. My word for chapter one is ‘Avowal’
Awesome to get back to the DA series thanks (since DA). A community of believers can be great for enhancing understanding of scripture but it can also provide a platform for individuals to push wrong interpretations and pet theories, or to just enjoy being argumentative for the sake of it. I don't believe the SS lesson is a place for playing devils advocate
Hello Pastor Asscherick, I have a quick question concerning the republishing of this inspired book. Did you edit the Spirit of Prophecy? Changing "vale" to valley, and "Another than" to Someone other than, in your new printing of Thoughts from the Mount of Blessings? Have you changed any other wording in this precious book? I'll await your answer before proceeding with this study. Thank you.
I'm not the publisher, Types & Symbols are the publishers. They did make some very minor changes to some older and more archaic words. All of the changes and their editorial philosophy can be found on their website, so nothing has been done in secret. It's all on record. Also, the KJV was updated to the NKJV. As someone who has been reading Ellen White's works for nearly 30 years, and who has read thousands of pages, both in the original form and in the modestly updated form that Types & Symbols have published, I can say with absolute certainty that nothing has been lost from her original words, meaning, and style. Hope this helps.
@DavidAssherick I disagree with the idea of having a majority collectively reading and interpreting scripture as to avoid misinterpretation. In biblical times, we often see those on the fringe of society, off by themselves, getting things right where the majority got things wrong. I think of Simeon and Anna. I think of Elijah and John the Baptist. William Miller also. And, unfortunately, I see this in my life too. I had to branch away from mainstream Christianity and study it for myself in order to tear away from the bias and “just following what the masses believe”. Thank you guys for the talk today. I’m not trying to be hard on you guys, I just have a different opinion.
Some really good points there. I think it's more of a both/and than an either/or. God uses both reformers and the larger Kingdom community. Really appreciate your thoughtful comment, brother! Glad you're here.
Why are we laughing About the CURSINGS LEAD A BLIND MAN do we as a CHURCH lead the BLIND in wrong THEOLOGY do we LEAD PEOPLE DOWN A WRONG THEOLOGICAL PATH

Outstanding comment, Ruben! Completely agree about the presence of the Holy Spirit. Angelo was firing on all cylinders last nigh, thank you Jesus!
Thank you so much! I've been watching since DA, truly blessed.
So honored and blessed to hear this! Thank you for the kind words.
It's all about community. Folk getting together encouraging each other in the Word and in life experiences. My word for chapter 1 is "anticipation".
Rebecca, I COMPLETELY agree! Also, excellent word!
Looking forward to watching this today. I need this! Have a beautiful and blessed week, my friends, as we are blessed by the BEST friend there ever has been🙌🎉💜🕊🎉🎉🙌
I hope you love it! I know I did. The Spirit was certainly with us. Bless you, dear sister.

He sees more.
He’s sees YOUR possibilities.

HALLELUJAH!!! "He sees MORE!"
This was a beautiful message. So many :mic drop: moments. God bless you all. 🙏🏾
Amen, sister! My heart was stirred over and over again. Isn't Jesus just the best?
I knew Angelo was gonna be your guest! What a double blessing! And that smile of his! Wow!
Have you heard the story behind his smile?? It's an amazing story!
I have not. Do tell! His smile is gorgeous!!

@DavidAsscherick Awwww, bless his heart! I can't find him on IG. His account must be private. 😥
Glad to be here
Very glad to have you! Thanks for tuning in and commenting. Blessings!

Ooooooh, great word! I really like that. Thanks for sharing!
I could listen to Angelo’s reading all day long… 😊🙏🏼
Right?! Totally agree! And thanks for commenting. So glad you're here!
Another great study! Thank you!
Wow, thank you for the feedback! Isn't Jesus just the best?
Thank You Abba!!!
Blessings!
Amen! My sentiments exactly.

This study and this chapter in particular is so timely given the typical thoughts within Christendom...
Yes, VERY timely! Good insight.
Listening from New Brunswick, Canada
So glad you're here! Welcome, friend.
I watched the your intro on IG live and switched over to RUclips yesterday for this session (due to family schedule). Really excited to be reading this book with this community. I had the same paragraph highlighted in the preface. What a message! "He sees MORE."
YEEEEESSSSSS! "He sees MORE." Wow, that really moved me when I read that. What a beautiful biblical teaching: the faith of Jesus! So glad you're here!
Wow, loved this study!! So excited about going up to the mountain and experience God's incredible message just for me!! Thankyou so much David and Angelo for sharing!! Blessings for your ministry!!
Thanks, Rick, for the encouraging feedback! God is SOOOO good!
My word is Preparation. Everyone was prepared for something to happen, but nobody except Jesus was prepared for what was going to happen.
Oooh, I like that! The double-meaning is excellent. Great job!
Totally blessed by this session. I am running a day behind schedule but it is still wonderful to be learning with you all. May God bless us as we draw closer to Him through His word.
Glad you're here! It's OK if you're a little behind. We all are sometimes in life! : )
First timer here and very excited to return😊🙌
Welcome, Cheryl! Really glad that you're here!
I am sure this ll be a great study.. infact your DA with DA helped us in reading DA as a part of our master guide program here in India.. God bless you and ur team...
Wonderful! This is SO great to hear. Thank you for feedback and encouragement!
Wow! So wonderful!!!
Glad you think so! It's such a blessing to do these. I think I'm the most blessed one!
My word was Morning. It’s the start of a new day, a new beginning.
WOW, I really, really like this! "Morning" really captures the essence of what's happening with Jesus, doesn't it? It communicates light, hope, and even optimism. Love it! And THANK YOU for sharing. 🙌
My word is mindset……

I love studying together like this. 🙏
A great, succinct, explanatory quotation: "You can't do God's WILL, if you don't WANT to; because it is God's WILL that you WANT to."
Hello from Seymour TN
Well, hello there, Deborah! So glad you're here. Hope you enjoy the MB with DA reading challenge!

You're so welcome! Avowal!! That's such a cool word. Thank you for sharing.
This was awesome
Too bad it couldn’t have been 2 programs instead of one
There’s so much to absorb here
Yeah, it was A LOT! Fortunately, you can listen to it again and again, if you want to. Thanks for being here and for commenting!
@ You can bet I will do that

I am not able to get discount for books with the info given on the first night . Any suggestions am so anxious to start this study
Code is: mbwithda. I think it's working. If it doesn't work again, try contacting Types and Symbols directly. So glad you're here!
