A SHORT SUMMARY OF THE HEART OF DB's CONTENT:
Only two kinds of people get to Heaven: perfect people, and forgiven sinners.
What is perfect? Well, not stealing regardless of how insignificant it may seem, not saying a single evil word against anyone - not to mention God sees our thought life. And like a judge in court, a penalty has to be paid when evil is done and laws are broken (e.g. if a murderer was let off in court there would be uproar so how much more God)?
In short - we arent perfect, at all. And rather than Heaven, God, if giving us justice, will have to make us pay for our crimes by death and eternal damnation in an everlasting fire and torment.
BUT:
There is a way that we can be saved. Jesus - the Son of God - came down to live a perfect life without sin, conquering all evil and the devil's sinful, lustful traps that so easily ensnare us. Jesus overcame all of that, and then was sentenced to death on a cross.
While on the cross, God poured out the anger and wrath of sin on His Son - getting Jesus to pay OUR fine of damnation, unbearable pain and being separated from God. EVERY single evil thought, word or deed that doesnt line up with God' perfection, every sin you ever have committed or will commit knowingly or unknowingly, Jesus took the complete, undiluted wrath for.
And, like a fine in court, Jesus paying for it means that we can go free. Not just free, but we can experience God's love as all punishment was carried on the cross and crucified there for all who believe.
He rose again on the third day, demonstrating His sovereignity and innocence and power over not just the sins of this life, but DEATH.
GOD HAS POWER OVER DEATH.
There will come a day when Jesus will return and those who died believing in Him will rise from their graves will go to Heaven, and those who rejected His salvation, message and teachings will suffer Hell to pay their deserved fines for all eternity without a second chance.
He wants you to repent (turn away from your sin and pursue God's perfect intent for your life, striving in the opposite direction).
This is your chance now.
God has a plan for your life, a plan that involves you being recreated into the perfect moral image of Him as we were before the sin in the garden. He loves you and doesnt want you to suffer - Hw wants to show you mercy and show you what true love looks like. He suffered FOR you to set you free and you can walk in His strength, experiencing His love, being taught what it means to be part of His family.
He loves you and wants you to have faith in Him, letting Him take the wheel of your life (dont forget, when you're doing God's will you're doing the will of perfect love - when you follow God you can be certain that you are never doing the wrong thing- imagine how cleansing that feels).
What if I still sin when Ive accepted Christ's death and resurrection on my behalf?
Thats why Christ died. For your SIN. When God looks at you, striving towards Him or even falling, He sees the righteous life of Christ covering you in place of your current, sinful reality. For those who strive to turn from sin, regardless of the pitfalls, God sees Jesus's life in place of your inability, and His blood so that yours will never have to be shed for your sin.
Sound opposite? Thanks to our natural sinful nature, it likely does, but God knows our weakness and struggles and pitfalls with sin. THAT'S why He died for us. Just pray to God, tell Him you are struggling and are unsure - God can and will work with even the slightest desire within you to follow Him and be free from sin.
Ask Him to make you willing - if you are willing to be made willing, pray for it, simply shut your eyes and talk to Him.
When Satan knows people have left His camp, He will not take it lying down, He often tries harder with more trials and temptations but EVERY trial is Father-filtered, Satan cannot do anything beyond what God permits, and God will only allow things that will strengthen you or bring you closer to Him so long as you cling to Him and trust in the promises of His word.
Where do I start to learn about God's plan and His promises to me? Well, I'd advise you to have a look at these Bible chapters relating directly to Christ's life and our redemption, it tells you exactly the things Christ did, said, and how He lived. Try a read of Matthew (or Luke if you want a more detailed account). Do it in stages and try and imagine the events and miracles as they really happened - the Bible is a true account after all.
And when you struggle and fall, kmow you can pray for forgiveness, dust yourself off again and get up because Jesus already bore our guilt and shame.
God wants FAITH from us, not legalistic works and outward piety, but FAITH. The gospel is faith alone in Christ alone, Christ already lived that perfect life FOR us, but obedience to His will and the fruits of the spirit "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" are what come through true maturing faith and a relationship with the conquerer and overcomer of the world and its sin. Trials come to strengthen us and produce these fruits and an obedient, fulfilling life overtime. Its a lifelong process of faith and striving alongside God, but remember that Jesus is the ultimate foundation, the reason we are given Heaven through His soon return in the first place. If you lack faith (as i did for a long time) pray. God wants honesty from us and is eager to recieve us when we come to Him and pray for faith. All it takes is a little - Jesus said all it takes is faith "as small as a mustard seed", the smallest seed in the world. God will take it - give it to Him amd ask Him to make it grow. He desires to, He wants to and He will give strength and faith to His children in time when they ask Him.
So in short, WHEN - and note it says WHEN - we sin on our striving towards Gods will and life of love and service to others, Remember that God understands our faults and can sympathise with our weaknesses, He wants us to see, understand and walk in His perfect, unfailing love and strength rather than our own, because His love and His strength never fails.
If you want to let Jesus into your life, even to help you to take the first step, then read through this prayer here once to get the gist of it and then just say it - trust God and give it all to Him because He has a plan.
If you take a step - just a step - towards Him, He will take a step towards you.
Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and there is nothing that I can do to save myself. I confess my complete helplessness to forgive my own sin or to work my way to heaven. At this moment I trust Christ alone as the One who bore my sin when He died on the cross. I believe that He did all that will ever be necessary for me to stand in your holy presence. I thank you that Christ was raised from the dead as a guarantee of my own resurrection. As best as I can, I now transfer my trust to Him. I am grateful that He has promised to receive me despite my many sins and failures. Father, I take you at your word. I thank you that I can face anything now that you are my Savior. Thank you for the assurance that you will walk with me through the deep valley. Thank you for hearing this prayer.
In Jesus’ Name.
Amen x
Thank you. I must share this video with my son. My grandpa told me that the coconut was surrounded by saltwater, but kept sweetness inside of itself.
I want some coconut and blessings from god😊
Praise the LORD!!
I'm addicted to these videos.. love learning about God through nature.
Coconuts have been found to be extremely healthy, contrary to what many "scientists" told people about saturated fats in the 70s and 80s.
'scientists' paid off by the dairy, beef, chicken and pharma industries to say that....
great video, the AF ministry is the best ministry I've ever found! have really learned a lot, thanks pastor Doug, you and the AF team rock!
Candy Cheung I would advise that the love. you express is for a "minister" that Chris and satan....are 'brothers"(our sins were placed on satan.)b Sad to say you had your ears ticled. People....read the bible...go to an orthodox church. Milion a just love b Joel Osteen. He pr e aches out the part..I place on the toilet.
Seven Day say....our sins were shared with Christ...placed on him. If that Is /was the case....God is a liar. There is ONLY one way to Heaven. If you find another way....call me!!
Christ and Satan are brothers, seriously? What do you mean, do they teach that?.. Tell me more:)
Candy Cheung Christ and Satan are NOT brothers. Christ is the CREATOR and God in the highest sense of that very word. Satan is a CREATURE like you and I, and not a God, though he wants to be God and is responsible for every false “god” out there and the religious systems that are representative of these gods.
Thanks God. I was able to get home before the total lockdown here in the Philippines. God is good all the time. He will never let his children suffer. Thanks God, also that we are so blessed with nature and lots of fruit bearing trees. I like this object lesson.
awesome I love coconuts!
Thank you Pr Doug. Praise God. I was blessed with this video.
Great video! Thank you Pastor Doug!
I live in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 and I love coconut 🌴 it's so hot over here 😥 I'm drinking coconut water 💦 every day.

Tfs these wonderful Biblical words of wisdom.. Amen☝🏼️
I have been watching the whole series, they are great...I don't understand why there are thumbs down, these are great
It seems awesome
GR8 message,Elder/Pastor Doug!!!
I love coconuts a their natural flavor a the way they smell. It's even in shampoo lotions a milk.
I use coconut oil on my skin and cooking. I also have a coconut palm in my patio. Since I have high blood pressure, the coconut water helps with that.
If you boil the brown fibre of the coconut like tea, it will lower your blood pressure even more. You have to be careful because it can lower the RR very fast. Drink a little first and experiment with it.
I appreciate this info...I'll try it.
I appreciate this info...I'll try it.
Amen
I like that your channel is now using a drone to film with. It shows (proves) they aren't as bad as the mainstream media would like everyone to believe.
Beautiful
I like this Ministry yep
I have had coconut milk, oil and coconut chips but never a full coconut.
Awesome! This is really cool!!!
Yes Jesus is the real tree of life

You can also make goodies with coconut: Coconut bread, coconut drops, coconut patties, coconut fudge, and much, much more. um, um, good!!!
They are also full of medium chain fatty acids that are available to your body for instant energy like carbs
Where is it written in the Old testament that Mashiah would be the tree of life ?
Can coconut trees grow in gauteng joburg

Yes it is....Natuvu Creek on Vanua Levu island northern division
Acts 2:38- Bible:)
Pastor Doug, What's the deal with drinking someone's blood??? Why in the world should I eat another human?
Do you speak for Pastor Doug?
+OnePointSix12 If you have a lot of questions, and are confused about anything, like the metaphors, you could order the "Discover bible studies" for free, I think that would help answer a lot of your questions. You could go to any Adventist church to get them or you could get them mailed straight to you from numerous Adventist websites. Hope that helps with some of the confusion.
+Paul Tarsus Oh wow, that's sad. Thank you for your info brother.
+Paul Tarsus Christians believe that persecution is a sign that you are doing things right. You, wearing your Sunday best, went out of your way to grab the barrel of an imaginary gun, point it at yourself, and with a teary eye boast; hey everyone look, I’m being PERSECUTED. Again I addressed my comment to Pastor Doug not you. But now that YOU have accused me persecuting Christians let’s see what the facts are.
Members of Legislative Branch (Senators & Representatives): 535.
Christians in the Legislative Branch: 491.
Number of elected officials in the Executive Branch: 2
Number of elected officials in the Executive Branch that are Christians: 2.
Number of Supreme Court Justices: 9.
Number of Christian Supreme Court Justices: 6.
U.S. Armed Forces enlisted personnel (active & reserve): 2,212,635.
% of Christians in The U.S. Armed Forces: 69%.
So from this we can see that in order for Christianity to be persecuted in America you'd have to believe that the vast majority of the members of the federal government and the military are actively trying to suppress their own religion.
+Paul Tarsus Is this how they teach you to courteously and respectfully give account for the hope that is in you? God must have really done a number on you and hardened your heart.
Awesome!
