- Everyone enjoys receiving gifts. Whether it be for a birthday, holiday celebration, or as an unexpected act of appreciation, gifts demonstrate that the giver cares for the one they are giving the gift to. Throughout the course of history, the greatest gift-giver of all is God.
In this video, Pastor Ted Wilson, president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, explores Gifts of the Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12 and takes a deeper look at one gift in particular-the gift of prophecy.
He also answers questions like: What is prophecy? How does it benefit the Church? How can I tell if someone is a true prophet? Is the gift of prophecy relevant today?

The person who denied it is because he hasn't read it .
sorry for them. They don't have the blessings at reading the Spirit of Prophesy. Love
It. Amen
I read the Steps to Christ and Plan of Redemption, nothing can now take my heart and mind away from Christ. I thank my God in heaven for these wonderful books.
Thank you to God for the Spirit of Prophecy
Powerful. Hallelujah. Amen
Amen. I started reading the writings of Ellen G White as a preteen and have done so until now 70+ years old. I highly value the information written in these books and have recommended them to nonSDA as well as to SDA. My personal preferences are Patriarch and Prophets, Prophets and Kings, Desire of Ages, Acts of the Apostles, The Great Controversy, Christ Object Lessons and The Ministry of Healing. These have informed and enriched my spiritual journey and I believe will do the same for any who take time out to read them. Thank you, Elder Wilson for encouraging us to read these books so these can once again be called the "read" books.
Thank you God for the gift of prophecy to help us get closer to Jesus and given us instructions for end time and better understanding what is helpful for us to be ready for end time and the return of Jesus how to live now Blessings to all that read and accept this gift 🙏😍
Truly the testimony of Jesus! I love that sentence that you gave us!🙏🏻
Love hearing your teachings. Praise God. Thanks and God bless.
Thank you Pastor Ted for the wonderful lesson
You're welcome! May God continue to bless you with wisdom and understanding as we all grow in His Word.
Thank you dear Pastor Ted Wilson for sharing Ellen White’s worth with so many. You are a great blessing🙏🏻🌟
First SDA gen here, I wasn’t initially familiar with the spirit of prophecy and many beliefs. As I’ve deepened my faith, I’ve realized there’s always room to learn. Unfortunately, some encounters with elders have been less than understanding. It’s disheartening when there are ppl whom adopt a Pharisaic mindset, claiming a higher righteousness. Instead of fostering a love for the spirit of prophecy, these encounters sometimes lead to resentment. Personal experiences like these made exploring faith challenging
Domnul Isus Hristos să vă Binecuvinteze și familia dumneavoastră Din România cu respect și Credință pace Domnului Amin
Amen
Amen! I love reading her writings always.
Due to the gift of the Spirit of Prophecy that God has given humanity, Adventists have been able to make our world a better place. (1) emphasis on God's law in an age of lawlessness, (2) draw attention to healthful living, (3) inspire humanity with the expectation of-a-soon-approaching divine intervention in history, (4) have raised up a community of good citizens and (5) make a significant contribution in world relief where calamity has struck. As a member of Baha'i Faith, I am deeply thankful to Adventists & Ellen White.
Amen
Yes i do believe,that the spirit of prophecy is very helpful to me for my spiritual life, to understand the Bible,
Amen! Even so come Lord Jesus
Amen.Thanl you pastor for a beautiful presentation.
EGW is not a modern-day servant of the Lord. She is a false prophet and the extent that SDA has gone to uphold her teachings is beyond me. The hottest pit of hell is reserved for such false teachers. I urge all SDA to relearn the scripture without any reference to EGW but with a sincere heart and asking the Holy Spirit for guidance. The gift of the Holy Spirit is not to reinterpret scripture but rather for the building up of the church and for reference back to the finished work of Christ on the cross. Any addition to that is heresy including these weird doctrines found in Adventism. Wake up from your slumber folks. This guy teaching the bible doesn't even have any joy in his facial expression, seems like he is even disinterested in what he is teaching but has to do it anyway. God have mercy on this lost soul.
Let us pray together with joyful hearts with love and patient till the second coming of Jesus hopefully, by keeping His commandment the Saturday Sabbath.
Without the Spirit of Prophecy non will enter into heaven. For it is the Extra oil that foolish ones seeking from the wise virgins. The SoP clearly points the great and marvellous character of Christ Vs a sinner. Only by beholding the character of Christ and growing in His given grace a sinner can change into the image and likeness of God. And this is the whole purpose of the SoP.
Amen to the message Ps Ted. 💐🙏
Amen! The Spirit of Prophecy truly points us to the character of Christ and helps us grow in His grace. Thank you for sharing this insight!
The Joy Is NOT IN DOING THE WORK, But Seeing The Receiver THRIVE?
Indeed, seeing others thrive in Christ brings great joy and fulfillment! It's a blessing to be part of that journey.
Thank you so much Elder Ted Wilson for sharing this important devotion. What amazing gift we have been given! Thank you so much Our heavenly Father for Gift of Spirit of Prophecy through Ellen G. White.
Great blessed sermon, however "The Great Controversy " needs to be distributed to all people in the World, and the General Conference has failed to do this in my opinion!
Revelation 21:6-8
6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
I have translated books of EGW and I can tell for sure, they are all inspired by God Himself. There are NO books so deep and so heart piercing like Steps to Christ and Desire of Ages.
"It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy." -EGW
{ST, February 19, 1894 par. 4}
And both the Prophet and the bible tell us,
"Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings."-Jeremiah 3:22
Repent Ted. Repent.
God bless pastor ted Wilson🙏
I love this man
Very powerful and encouraging message Happy Sabbath ❤
Ellen White agrees with the Apocrypha. Ellen states varoius statements that disagree with the Bible. Ted Wilson publicly condemned the Apocrypha. Yes his prophet Ellen loved the Apocrypha and quoted from it throughout her life. Seems odd.
Please give specific examples of your claims. Thank you.

“At another time at a meeting held at Brother Curtis' in Topsham, Maine, she was taken off in vision, and arose to her feet, took the large family Bible from the table, and held it on her hand some time at an angle of forty-five degrees, and said the hidden book was not there. When some one asked if the Apocrypha was not in the Bible, Brother Curtis remarked it was not. She talked sometime about the hidden book. No one knew but Bro.

Is this enough? Sorry for the late response. Happy reading brother/sister

Those who attack the writings of Ellen G.White are mostly those who don't read her writings. Some have read them but without subjecting themselves under the guidance of the Holy Spirit through their earnest prayer. Some have read her books not to seek the truth but only for purposes of finding fault of her books serving as agents of Satan. For me another proof that Ellen G.White is the prophet of God is the fact that many people had been drawn to Christ whose lives had been transformed into a faithful Christian and one of those is my father. Before, he was a gambler, a notorious guy and alcoholic but after reading her books he was led to study the bible and finally drawn to Jesus and accepted Him as his personal savior.
Ezekiel 13:9
9 My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who give lying divinations. They shall not be in the council of my people, nor be enrolled in the register of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.
Can someone help explain why there is a disconnect between what Ted Wilson states here and Scripture? For a couple reasons, he states, "various individuals," receive Spiritual gifts, and yet Scripture states that all believers receive Spiritual gifts. He also alludes to the fact that the gift of prophecy is again for, "various individuals," when Scripture from Moses to Paul points that prophecy or the Spirit of Prophecy should be for us all.
Why does Ellen White break the biblical pattern of prophetic usage and appearance? Prophets never appeared in the singular, but in the plural, not at any given time.
Under Moses, others prophesied and he even stated that all should prophesy.
[Numbers 11:26-30]
"26 Now two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp. 27 And a young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” 28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from his youth, said, “My lord Moses, stop them.” 29 But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord's people were prophets, that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!” 30 And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp."
Elijah then thinks he is alone and yet there are thousands of others who are prophesying and alive at that the same time. If Ellen White is a last days prophet, then why does she break the clear biblical pattern in the Old and New Testament regarding the exercise and appearance of the gift of prophecy by appearing in the singular?
I am currently studying The Desire of Ages after studying the Four Gospels. As a writer of religious devotionals, it takes much prayer and supplication to receive the words from the Holy Spirit to feed Christ's sheep. Her writings are perfectly aligned with the Holy Scriptures. I thank God for Sister White's gift of prophecy. We are in desperate need of continuous instruction. Amen.
Perhaps there would not have been such a negative view of Ellen White's work if Adventist leadership since the time of Ellen White had been more open and transparent about the true nature of 'divine inspiration' across the years - as was discussed in the 1919 Bible Conference - and not promoting Ellen White beyond what she saw herself as. Perhaps instead of stringing together a series of 'proof texts' that are taken out of context to promote and maintain the alleged view that the SDA church is THE remnant denomination, progressively 'unpacking' the true nature and character of our Awesome God as we grow in knowledge of Him and His "higher ways" might be the focus of attention - something that when done draws people into the universal 'church'/body of God which transcends denomination. This is, after all, what the original focus of the Seventh-day Adventist pioneers (including Ellen White) was - and what they intended it to always be.
Thank you Elder Wilson for such a powerful and enriching delivery. God bless you and please keep going in doing what you have been doing for years. For sure, Jesus is soon to come and with messages like you give here, the flock will be empowered
Revelation 20:10
10 and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Thank you Pastor Ted. Very powerful, truthful accurate message.
Thank you so much for another message from the president of our woldchurch. These messages are so encouraging and helpful. Thank you pastor Wilson.
Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
Grace, peace, and love in Christ Jesus Amen.
Exercising the Spirit of Prophecy to tell Ted Wilson that he needs to go.
Revelation 18:23
and the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
God be glory 🙏
All glory to God! May He continue to be praised in all we do.
Bible: "¹² No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us."1 John 4:12
EGW:
"And I saw the Father rise from the throne, and in a flaming chariot go into the Holy of Holies, within the vail, and did sit". {ExV 43.1}
She saw the Father only in her vision not in real encounter with God the Father.
Beautiful book.
The "testimony of Jesus" is the Gospel. The truth of how we are saved by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ only.
"If we would have the spirit and power of the third angel’s message, we must present the law and the gospel together, for they go hand in hand. As a power from beneath is stirring up the children of disobedience to make void the law of God, and to trample upon the truth that Christ is our righteousness, a power from above is moving upon the hearts of those who are loyal, to exalt the law, and to lift up Jesus as a complete Saviour. Unless divine power is brought into the experience of the people of God, false theories and ideas will take minds captive, Christ and His righteousness will be dropped out of the experience of many, and their faith will be without power or life." Ellen G White, Gospel Workers pg 161.3
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amen! The law and the gospel are inseparable. We need both the righteousness of Christ and the truth of His law to live a life full of power and grace. Thank you for sharing these inspiring words!
🙏❤️👍
Amen.
"The keeping of God’s holy law, the Sabbath, is a test, a sign between God and his people throughout their generations forever. Forever this is the burden of the third angel’s message- the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ." - 3Selected Messages pg 287.1
Thank you for sharing this powerful message! Indeed, the Sabbath is a special sign of our covenant with God, and the third angel's message calls us to uphold God's law and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Ellen White is a unique gift to the SDA church that is being used as a weapon it was never meant to be. It was a lesser light to point to Jesus and His love for all humanity. Most of her writing was never meant for wide public distribution.
Na…she herself said to distribute her books around the world…
how can saturday be a sabbath
Thank you for your messages may God bless you.🙏
Thank you for your kind words! May God continue to bless and guide you in all things.
What about food for worms? Did that prophecy come true? What about her prophecy regarding airplanes?
I highly recommend checking out Steve Daily’s psycho biography on Ellen White. She was a con artist fraud. So glad that I learned about her deceit before I became a baptized member.
We understand that there are various perspectives on Ellen White. As Seventh-day Adventists, we believe in examining all things carefully and holding fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Feel free to reach out if you’d like more information or have further questions. God bless.
@@AdventistOrgChurch those aren’t perspectives, they are prophecies that did not come true. Can you explain?
Amen🙏
Ellen G White writes beautifully, and all her works have inspired me to love the Bible and Jesus more deeply. The Spirit of Prophecy is a unique and marvelous 🎁 to God’s pure Church. Of course Satan hates such beauty and Truth and continues his attacks/ but Jesus protects these messages because they come directly from Him. They are the testimony of Jesus Christ!Praise His holy name!🌟❤️
AMEN 🔥
Amen
Amen
Romans 16:18
18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,[a] and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
I pray our GC never clasp hands with Babylon. I’m sure you do to, Mr. Wilson. We pray for truthful speakers with pure hearts.
AMEN 🙏
Bible:¹⁴ But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.Matthew 19:14
EGW say:
"Children born to parents who are controlled by corrupt passions are worthless. What can be expected of such children but that they will sink lower in the scale than their parents?" {2T 351:1}
I am no genius by any means but, I would say there is a lot of magic, sorcerer, and witchcraft in this world deceiving people all over.
Amen
Amen

EGW and her peers embraced semi-pelagian and Arian heresies. Her husband was an anti-trinitarian at the same time she wrote the Great Controversy. Her writings consistently demonstrate that she was following the Victorian trope of feeble, sickly women having a miraculous connection to God. Her accounts perfectly parallel that of other women of her day - holding large books out for extended periods of time, consistently feigning illness only to “be revived by prayer”. It’s sickening and the fact that the church defends someone who explicitly teaches justification by the works generated through faith is why I left. The SDA church teaches a different gospel, full stop.
We're sorry to hear about your experience. While we hold to our beliefs, we also encourage everyone to study God's word prayerfully and to seek understanding. If you'd like to discuss further, we're here to listen. God bless you.
You know let God be the judge I'm not here there's a lot to be said in our church in fond du lac we have people talking about in the sermons Ellen White and they make a big thing about it they read from her books when they give sermons they put a lot of emphasis in it but not Jesus and I don't understand I wasn't there in the 1800s but let's keep the judgment to ourselves when we're at church is a group claiming to have the truth for 1932 to 1986 Herbert w. Armstrong he claimed to be a teacher a apostle of God's and he was the only one taking the gospel to the world on television and radio 350 radio stations and he went to meet with leaders around the someone's got to be telling the truth everything you see is happening for a reason and time is running out so let's stop picking on each other and putting each other down and get along with each other every day not just on Saturday we're getting older people getting worn out people just waiting to see what happens the next 5 years so let's prove all things and hold fast to what is good and stop nitpicking on the 70th and the the 70th and the worldwide we're getting older people getting worn out people just waiting to see what happens the next 5 years so let's prove all things and hold fast to what is good and stop nitpicking on the 70th and the worldwide Church we're getting older people getting worn out people just waiting to see what happens the next 5 years so let's prove all things and hold fast to what is good and stop nitpicking on the 70th and the worldwide Church of we're getting older people getting worn out people just waiting to see what happens the next 5 years so let's prove all things and hold fast to what is good and stop nitpicking on the The Seventh-Day Adventist and the worldwide Church of God so let's pray for all these groups they keep Saturday they keep the Sabbath and the thing is the worldwide Church of God taught about the Andy holy days that they had to be kept in the modern age keep the holy days in the Adventist Church because of the curtain came down in 70 AD in Christ was our example he was crucified so God bless everyone God bless from Wisconsin God bless every member of every Sabbath group out there
Whoever still believes in Ted Wilson as the man of God whose message is inspired is greatly deceived. This man has turned against the beliefs and doctrines of the SDA church and he is serving his master the pope of Rome. Forget about his hypocritical teachings which he truly doesn't believe in. His participation in ecumenism and allowing apostasy in the church is a grave matter.
Matthew 7:15
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Matthew 24:24
24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
2 Peter 2:1
2 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
