Dear Friends,
The Savior gazes in pity on His remnant. The Three Angels Messages need to go with power before He can come, but His people seem paralyzed in a world enduring the final assault of Satan. He remembers Calvary and the price He paid there for every one of His children. He raises His nail-scarred hands to plead before the Father, "My blood, Father. My blood! My blood! My blood!" An angel flies swiftly to the four angels who hold back the winds of strife. He cries with a loud voice, "Hold! Hold! Hold! Hold! until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads."
To be sealed! To fully reflect the image of Jesus! To be so settled into the truth that we cannot be shaken! The Savior not only prays for it to become reality, but He calls us to His Word to make it happen: "Seal the law among My disciples." "Meditate on the law day and night." "Hide the Word in your heart." "Write My Word on your hand and between your eyes."
In other words, Jesus pleads with us to memorize His Word! Let us begin by memorizing these cards you hold in your hand. They give a basic understanding of the Three Angels Messages. They bring us to a position to be sealed.
Begin with one verse. Repeat the reference and read the verse three times. Then read the verse with the first word and first letter helps. Note special patterns and arrangements of letters. Using the helps, repeat the verse several times throughout the day, always taking note of the reference. Soon the verse takes root in your mind and you can repeat it without help. Practice the same ritual on the second verse.
Dont be dismayed if memorizing proves difficult. Since Bible study taxes the brain, stretch your mind to the utmost. Your memory improves. Your intellect strengthens. Soon you delight in an activity that brings miraculous results.
The Word produces a born again experience. The Word drives away sin. The Word becomes a prayer book that develops an intimate friendship between us and the Creator. The Word teaches the greatest truths ever entrusted to mortals, the Three Angels Messages.
Suddenly we realize these words we memorize seal us to Jesus. We no longer suffer with spiritual paralysis. End-time events hold no fear. For us, Calvary was not in vain. We love Jesus! We see in Him matchless charms! We long to reflect His image more fully. We become more settled into the truth every day. We pledge our life to the high and holy purpose of presenting the Three Angels Messages to the world to prepare for Jesus coming. We pray with Jesus, "Hold back the angels just a little longer until all Gods servants are sealed in their foreheads!"
