Listening from Zimbabwe.... feeling blessed by the word. God gave me to my parents 22yrs ago after a still birth and a miscarriage. My mom always tell me that when she conceived me in her womb,she bleeded for 3months and she expected another miscarriage. Because of that,she carried me in her womb for 12 months. When she finally gave birth to a baby girl,that is me. She called her Tanyaradzwa in Shona which means the Lord has comforted us. I am a living testimony that there is a God in heaven. Praise God ... Hallelujah 🙏
Adventist like I have never heard. I spend my Sabbath in service with Dr. knight. He is the right vessel. I share his sermons with my friends. Moving the Lords word forward. Move on Holy Spirit keep moving.
You preach until I see the door of heaven are wide open.....be. Blessed...as my routine I woke up in the morning i open my TV i listen your sermon then my day will be very fantastic and blessed in the name of Jesus christ
He is a wonderful speaker, indeed, Juliet, and this sermon (Be careful what you call me) is truly powerful and uplifting. Reading the Bible yourself while inviting the Holy Spirit to enlighten your understanding is to be more highly recommended as a daily routine than reliance on listening to sermons for the blessings of the day. God longs to give you more! Don’t limit your capacity to receive all that He wants to pour into your life. I think Dr Knight would agree.
I am watching this sermon on the 05/09/2020 and when Pastor Knight speaks about the little girl it breaks my heart. I remember my son came here from Jamaica and he is 13 years old this year, he goes to an Adventist school and he said to me , he is going to Oakwood University and he is going to Study Pediatric neurosurgeon, and i am saying i will be doing everything in my power to see his dream come through. He is in Grade 6 and doing Grade 7 classwork and also on the Principal list every year. We as parent need to speak good things over our children lives. Blessings Pastor to you and your family.
Amen!!!! This is wonderful. I am a Seventh Day Adventist Jamaican myself raising a Seventh Day Adventist Jamaican-American son, be wants to be a pastor. It is an honor to help them reach their goals
AMEN and AMEN!! I literally cried listening to this message.. Thank you Father Lord for leading me to listen to this message, I know You are near and always watching over me..
Really blessed by this inspiring message on this sabbath day. Being in total lockdown in India this message means a lot. God bless you pastor 18th July sabbath.

Actually me personally, u have inspired me a lot and i need a lot of advice cz i am in my final year doing law but i feel like finishing it the go for pastoral ministry. I am in Uganda.
I'm a young pastors in traing, It has taken me some good time listening to pastor wesleys sermons, surely I'm blessed. How can I really reach this man????
I have a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought that it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Do you ever struggle? Or doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Do you wonder if He even exists for that matter? Read this: Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The bible says "apart from God we can do Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the pain and be cut off from perfection forever Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What does this new way of life entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. "With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26 What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (for a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more questions or if you need any clarification on anything X
Hello Pastor I notice a lot of men now a days shaving the hair off the head and off their face, but I read in Leviticus 19:27 and 21:5 where God said the men are not to do this just as we are not to get tattoos. My question is this, since that is a law why are men in the churches breaking the law by shaving the hair off their head and face? Also Romans 3:31 and 6:1 say we are not to sin or break the laws just because we have faith and grace. 1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Patiently awaiting your reply.
Markie Petrie Maybe I can help you understand the verse in Leviticus it says (Lev.19:27-28) “Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.” Notice what verse 28 says which is the Key “For the Dead” (For Lev. 21:5 read Lev.21:1) to put this in modern terms, we are not to shave our head or face in respect for your dead loved one and definitely not to get a tattoo on your body(our bodies are for God 1 Cor 3:16-17) saying R.I.P. or in Loving Memory of the love one(which people do today) all this is a form of worshiping the dead, please understand there’s nothing wrong with cutting your hair or shaving your face just when it’s done for or behalf of a dead relative it falls under idol worship(Matthew 10:37). Also understand though it says “For the dead” the verse ends by saying “nor print any mark upon you” So branding your body(Fraternity) and tattoos are considered printing marks on you. Now if you want to pay your respect to your love one they’re other things people do like get a T-Shirt with the person picture or Wear the person favorited color to the Funeral because there’s nothing done to the your physical body like the shaving and cutting, these things are fine only if you don’t exalt it above your love for God, if you do then it’s breaking of the 1st Commandment. hope that help you understand as you patiently waited for a reply
Markie Petrie also i want to share something else with you how God feels about people worshiping the dead In Deuteronomy 34:4-6 it says “And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. 5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. 6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.” Now in verse 4 we read The Lord speaking to Moses then in verse 6 it says “And He buried him” Question Who is the He? Is it not the Lord? Of course because the verse continues to say “no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day” my point of sharing this is that Moses was a Man of God the people looked up to, God in his infinite wisdom knew that some may be enticed to worship Moses as God(idol) after his death So God buried Moses himself

What was the name of that book? Is it still available
Thirst.
Up to preach at 12:06...nawww..that's still late..lolol.
I have a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought that it would be important to say it.
Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions -
Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x
Do you ever struggle? Or doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Do you wonder if He even exists for that matter? Read this:
Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human!
You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23
What is that "glory", morally speaking?
Well, the opposite of human nature and desires.
Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us.
But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it?
Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The bible says "apart from God we can do Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things.
Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it?
The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a
murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil.
This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell.
"The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20
But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the pain and be cut off from perfection forever
Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin.
God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us).
God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely so that we do not have to be punished.
Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf).
So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH.
"I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26
ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone.
Religion = rules to be saved
The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out.
...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
What does it actually mean for us?
It means we can be free from the penalty of damnation.
Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life.
What does this new way of life entail?
It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39.
Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose.
Sound "opposite" again?
God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature.
We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God)
Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him.
"With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26
What is the way FOR though?
Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations.
Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15.
Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world.
The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation.
All we need is faith.
The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived.
God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him.
What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ?
That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus.
It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame.
Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful.
"those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37
...HOW DO I LEARN MORE?
Don't know where to start?
Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (for a more detailed account of it all).
Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6
You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you.
Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". -
Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if
you have any more questions or if you need any
clarification on anything

Pastor!!!!!! It’s the sabbath so stop verbally selling your book. Disrespectful.
Hello Pastor I notice a lot of men now a days shaving the hair off the head and off their face, but I read in Leviticus 19:27 and 21:5 where God said the men are not to do this just as we are not to get tattoos. My question is this, since that is a law why are men in the churches breaking the law by shaving the hair off their head and face? Also Romans 3:31 and 6:1 say we are not to sin or break the laws just because we have faith and grace. 1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Patiently awaiting your reply.
Markie Petrie Maybe I can help you understand the verse in Leviticus it says (Lev.19:27-28) “Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.” Notice what verse 28 says which is the Key “For the Dead” (For Lev. 21:5 read Lev.21:1) to put this in modern terms, we are not to shave our head or face in respect for your dead loved one and definitely not to get a tattoo on your body(our bodies are for God 1 Cor 3:16-17) saying R.I.P. or in Loving Memory of the love one(which people do today) all this is a form of worshiping the dead, please understand there’s nothing wrong with cutting your hair or shaving your face just when it’s done for or behalf of a dead relative it falls under idol worship(Matthew 10:37). Also understand though it says “For the dead” the verse ends by saying “nor print any mark upon you” So branding your body(Fraternity) and tattoos are considered printing marks on you. Now if you want to pay your respect to your love one they’re other things people do like get a T-Shirt with the person picture or Wear the person favorited color to the Funeral because there’s nothing done to the your physical body like the shaving and cutting, these things are fine only if you don’t exalt it above your love for God, if you do then it’s breaking of the 1st Commandment. hope that help you understand as you patiently waited for a reply
Markie Petrie also i want to share something else with you how God feels about people worshiping the dead In Deuteronomy 34:4-6 it says “And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.
6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.” Now in verse 4 we read The Lord speaking to Moses then in verse 6 it says “And He buried him” Question Who is the He? Is it not the Lord? Of course because the verse continues to say “no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day” my point of sharing this is that Moses was a Man of God the people looked up to, God in his infinite wisdom knew that some may be enticed to worship Moses as God(idol) after his death So God buried Moses himself
"MESMIRISM THIS IS THE GAME OF SATAN. THAT IS UNHOLY AND GOD IS NOT WELL PLEASED OF THIS PREACHING..
