Misconceptions about 7th Day Adventists (SDA)

What's wrong with Seventh Day Adventists? I'm interdenominational and have met really amazing Seventh Day Adventists I have high regard for. They're just a different denomination, not cults.


I've read a couple of articles but still don't see anything wrong with SDAs. They still believe in faith and grace. A cult will add or subtract from the Word of God. They don't add or subtract. A cult would deny Jesus as both 100% man and 100% God. They don't deny that. So they're no more considered cults as some think. Just a different denomination. Their extreme teachings aren't extreme enough to fall into the "cult" category. They're not JW or Mormons.


Also, the writer of some of these online articles I've read against the SDAs are also questionable. But that's a different topic altogether.


They never said Ellen White's writings are equal to the Bible. They said the revelation and inspiration behind it-- meaning the Holy Spirit. Meaning they believe that the Holy Spirit gave her Revelation and inspiration.


I am not saying SDAs are right or Ellen is right but as long as they don't equate her teachings to the Bible, they're not adding to the Word of God. Therefore, they're not cults.


The biggest persecutor of the Church in the world right now are the Christians. The less we fight each other and the more we fight the devil, the better.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

How to Fast the Right Way

First of all, motive. Fast to draw close to Him, and don't let anyone know that you're fasting. Matthew 6:16-18  For a Full Fast: Just tell them that you're taking some time off will be booked on those dates and can't be contacted during those periods.  Turn your phone on silent mode. It's basically only for emergencies, or else, don't answer at all. Lock yourself in your room. Matthew 6:6-7 Drink lots of water if you're going on a full fast. If you're living with others, only go out of the room to get more water. What you actually do: No work, no play, just fast and pray. And worship and Word and talk to Him and draw close to Him. And write down what He says. Do your devotion.

How God Saved My Marriage on the 9th year...

Please don't give up. Remember Smith Wigglesworth. There is hope. Pray for your husband everyday. I have a secret formula that I just found out recently -- intercession -- it's not what I thought it was. It's more than just crying on behalf of someone. It's praying on behalf of someone, like, Nehemiah, "Forgive us," he prayed on behalf of his forefathers. This means praying for your husband be like, "On behalf of my husband, Lord, Jesus, I pray, forgive my sins and help me to be more like You, help me to be a good dad and help me to draw close to You. Use me to be a mighty man of God, etc....." and just allow the Holy Spirit to lead you to pray him into the man He wants him to be. Things only took a turnaround on about the 9th year or so. It was so bad that even when I tried date night, like playing a board game with him, he will be on his phone playing his game. His heart was not into us at all. I learned from one of these godly moms in the comments...
