Dear Brothers and Sisters in
IAUA
(ee-ah-oo-ah) our Father,
Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of IAUA. This is the 23rd day of the 9th month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6016 Anno Mundi. The first yearly Sabbath of Unleavened Bread begins the Sacred New Year and the Spring Holy Day season in 15 weeks and 5 days on the evening of the 15th day of the 1st month (Wednesday, March 27th on the 2013, Gregorian Calendar, at sunset on Tuesday, March 26th). The Sacred month begins on the world day after lunar conjunction and the sacred year begins with the Spring Passover Rule dates my research, and others, has determined for the Gregorian Calendar dates of God's Sacred Calendar. Those who follow the Millerite Calendar (Spring New Moon Rule) will be observing the Spring Holy Days a month later and the Jewish Calculated Rabbinical Calendar begins a day early in spring.
I am happy to announce the book Four Angels' Message has been completed and published. I have made some revisions to four of the other books and republished them also. Five of my books have also been submitted for availability on the Kindle platform. I will not continue updating and publishing God's Sacred Calendar 2008-2013, the wall calendar, which is my second book. Yearly calendars for 2013 and later are available at the Sacred Calendar Reference website. Work will soon begin in earnest on my seventh book Word of IAUA. The work on this book will be delving deeply into a greater understanding of Biblical Hebrew. A companion appendix to the book would be a concise dictionary similar to Strong's Concise Hebrew Dictionary. I strongly suspect this book will never be published in print. I expect it would take over a thousand pages. It will probably remain under ongoing development as an online study Bible. I expect it will take many years to even begin to complete. A massive part of the formatting is done but the ongoing revisions may never end before IAUA returns.
I have been pondering God's plan in our individual lives, which results in a diversity of outward reaching service paths for those seeking to follow God's will. There is a danger on the part of some to attempt to direct others into following a cookie-cutter, tradition-based approach to God's service. There are some common general paths of outreach and service but each person must respond to the individual direction of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Part of our service to God is an inward development of a knowledge of truth and a growth in understanding. Parts of this path are the same for all those seeking to follow God's will. The basics of Bible study, prayer, and obedience are similar for all of us. Some may have an intense desire to grow quickly and deeply in God's truth. Some may be less intense because of an outward focus of their service. Each follows God in their own unique way by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. There is a danger in the personal development of an understanding of God's Word for leaders to push a traditional understanding of truth. We must never depend on man. There is a subtle difference between encouraging people to a specific understanding or course of action and crossing a line into attempting to force them. This quote gives these ideas perspective. We must not strive to mold people to our own ideas and inclinations and practises. By unselfish, consecrated lives, through the power of the Holy Spirit working on our minds, we are to reveal, not our own ways and wills, but the power of the love of him who gave himself for us, that we should be drawn out of and away from our own traits of character to the perfection of Christ's character. He died that we should cultivate the attributes of his character, and elevate, purify, and gladden the hearts and lives of others. All who are connected with the work of God need to have sanctified hearts, where Christ can abide. This means that there is a positive necessity of your closely examining yourselves, whether you be in the love of Christ. If you are individually attending to your soul's interest, you will have a sense of your own shortcomings, and will not sow the seed that Christ calls tares. If the truth you profess to know in theory is in your heart, you will reveal the truth as it is in Jesus. In every sphere of action you will represent his character. Our maxim should be, "Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." This is the great restoring influence of all our moral ills. With any lower incentive than to honor and glorify God, the principles become full of disease. Little by little self strives for the mastery, and the man will never rise to moral rectitude in word and action. {PH162 1.2}There are many different ideas, which can clash and create disagreement. There is always a danger of traditions and errors being promoted as doctrines. There is but one Scriptural way in which to deal with men when they introduce unsafe doctrines, and it has been enjoined upon the church by the Lord Jesus Christ. We are to strive by every power of our being to come into harmony with our brethren, because Christ has prayed that His disciples might be one as He and the Father are one. When we follow the injunction of Christ, cooperating with Him so as to bring about a condition among us that will answer the prayer of Christ, then we are doing the will of God; but when we disregard those rules that when followed will prevent discord and alienation, we scatter from Christ. {1888 1044.1}The primary purpose of our lives is our own spiritual growth. An outward focus to serve others must never hinder our own spiritual growth. Our sanctification is God's object in all His dealing with us. He has chosen us from eternity that we may be holy. Christ gave Himself for our redemption, that through our faith in His power to save from sin, we might be made complete in Him. In giving us His Word He has given us bread from heaven. He declares that if we eat His flesh and drink His blood we shall receive eternal life. Why do we not dwell more upon this? Why do we not strive to make it more easily understood, when it means so much? Why do not Christians open their eyes to see the work God requires them to do. Sanctification is the progressive work of a lifetime. The Lord declares "This is the will of God, even your sanctification." Is it your will that your desires and inclinations shall be brought into conformity with the divine will? {BTS, February 1, 1904 par. 1}Our Saviour referred to this problem several times in different ways. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?This is a fascinating Bible chapter you would do well to review. 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.There is a severe danger of being caught up with gnats and motes. Are you seeking to serve God according to the direction of the Holy Spirit? I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
