Arriving At The Time of Trouble | Pastor Ron Kelly
In this video, we explore some thought-provoking ideas about the future of Seventh day Adventism and the role of fear in our lives. We discuss how the devil has been playing a sly game to woo Adventism into a love affair with the world, making it difficult for us to go out and help the billion people who are currently living in a time of trouble. We also touch on the slow-moving emergency that's rolling down upon us and how fear can be an energy-killing emotion that hinders our progress.
But amidst all the bad news, there is hope. We talk about the triumph of God's love and how it's the only way forward for Seventh Day Adventists. We discuss how by God's grace, if we make it to the time of trouble, we've got nothing left to worry about. So if you're someone who worries about the future, this video is a must-watch. Join us on this journey and let's explore how we can break free from the shackles of fear and embrace a brighter tomorrow.

Our SDA Pastors should be preaching more on this Topic about Jesus soon return. It’s so sad that a lot of our members doesn’t know about this. Praying for you Pastor Kelly🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh, if only all SDA ministers had this level of zeal for the flock and messages to expose our luke warm state. God bless you in your service for our Lord and soon coming King.🙏🏼🙏🏼
It is a shame that the majority of SDA Churches don't preach like this! Praise God for this kind of Preaching. God Bless!
Thank you, Pastor Kelly for loving God's people so much that you would preach a sermon like this. Keep preaching, brother.
🎯”The people in Jesus day were good at church, they just didn’t care about anybody”🎯
Thank you, Pastor Kelly for being a man of God who preaches PRESENT TRUTH to wake up the Laodicean members. May God help us all not to be just hearers of HIS word but doers. 🙏🏽
Having a RELATIONSHIP with our CREATOR is ESSENTIAL to GET HIS DIVINE guidance and protection. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes...and since He told us to be living in the country growing our own food...for the little time of trouble before us...Our bread and water are only sure during the very end...and only if we are truly walking with Jesus.
Fear of the Lord, is what we want
We do need out post..AN work THE cities..From in the country...We do need to prepare..For people to have Food..The Truism Is If We Don't Have A Heart For People!!..Have the passion For the Lost We will.. Be Lost..We Need To Wrestle With God Over Our Procastion AN our Unconverted Hearts!!.Pray Pray For Us..As Never Befor!!!..Let Your Heart Break For The Things That Breaks The Heart Of God!!..
Thank you pastor Kelly lord please give me a heart to care
Yes...we should be living in the country and working the cities from outpost which have been equipped to be home churches when these large churches fail...and they will. When everything goes bust...there will be no money for tithes...and most like no electricity to run city churches/schools. We needed to listen to EGW and been in the country a long time ago...to say anything contrary...is contrary to what God's prophetess said. Our bread and water are only sure during the Great Time of Trouble...and only if we are truly walking with Jesus...and listening to His prophets...otherwise...we are in trouble.
@truthtriumphant4015 agreed ..thank you for clarifying..
@@phillipbear7630 I was concerned when I thought he mentioned something about not being in the country and preparing as we were told to do a while back. I'm truly concerned for men to stand in the pulpit and don't shout the warning correctly for these days...Basically...we have always supposed to be living in the country...city living is not fit place to raise kids properly...Country living is difficult and builds strong characters...if one is truly walking with Jesus.
@@truthtriumphant4015 truism..
Excellent sermon, one that is almost never heard in our SDA churches. Many churches are asleep, and as he rightly implies in this sermon, many of the dedicated SDAs are thinking selfishly of themselves, how the Sunday Law is going to affect them, and refuse to do anything to be the salt of the earth in their neighborhood today. This is most glaringly obvious by the fact that many of us SDAs are indifferent to the demise of the "least of these my brethren" in the womb, and in fact, we, as a Church, support this most wicked of actions! . Dear Jesus, please forgive our apathy and selfishness, and may we allow you to use us to show your love and mercies to those around us. In Jesus' name, amen.
Amen 🙏🏼
How about addressing the lack of compassion for those who are born into poverty. Do we care about them?
@@beverleyjoseph5592 Absolutely 👍🏼
@@beverleyjoseph5592 beverley, of course we care about those in poverty. But if baby humans aren't born alive to start with, there is no one to be in poverty.
Listening to your sermon brings to my mind SDA pastors building vacation cabins to relax while asking their congregations to help with mission work. The hypocrisy of some of our church leaders is sinful and is apparent by the way they stand in the pulpit and brag about all of their possessions and they reek of pride. God sees the widow sending tithe and gifts from her meager monthly stipend while those with everything this world has to offer cry for more funds for their church projects. God sees it all. We who love the Lord will continue to give for His cause, and he will take care of the rest. ~Amen~
AMEN...PRAISE GOD FOR THIS MESSAGE
Thank you Pastor Kelly. God touched my heart ❤️ about using my talents. I ask what talents do I have? Not much in the bank. 70 years old with over $100,000 mortgage. Then I heard you refer to skills. Aha! I can surrender my time and God can equip me with the skills He needs me to have as long as I lay down self and selfishness and open my heart to His bidding.
Amen. God, please increase our love for You and and your lost and suffering children. Give us victory over love of the world and the things of the world.
amen, janet. Write your church leaders and political leaders to get them to abolish abortion. By doing that, you could help save the lives of the least of these my brethren.
God bless you Pastor, a heart for the lost humanity is what we need today, following Christ footsteps. Honoring God, forgetting the self, love & devotion for others. God bless.
Very good message, thank you for sharing it! We have to examine ourselves deeply! May we persevere until the end!
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18 (NIV) “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:8 (NIV) The world is sleeping in the dark, that the church just can’t fight because it’s asleep in the light. How can we be so dead, when we’ve been so well fed?”
Thankyou Pastor Kelly for another timely message. God bless you 🙏💛
Correction: The Holy Spirit will not have a hard time getting in to the person (or people), however each will be so stubborn with rejecting God. He’s a Wonderful God. Love the message.
I AM BLESSED to HEAR the WORD. Thank you Pastor for reminding us of the book of Acts. We all NEED to PRAY for the LATTER RAIN.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm in a speechless and heart is melting! Praise the Lord for His servants, and sending good shepherds for His mercies endure forever! Thank you, thank you, thank you for lifting truth!
Let's continue to praise the Lord together, knowing that His mercies endure forever. Thank you for your support and encouragement. May His blessings continue to overflow in your life!
AMEN !
Satan has already shown up and the time of trouble is impending "when you see Jerusalem compassed with armies" Lk 21:20 because "Jerusalem is a representation of what the church will be if it refuses to walk in the light God has given." 8T 67.
EXACTLY 💯
Thanks you pastor 🙏
Praise OnLy our sovereign God can see through our heart.
Very very powerful message. To God be the glory! Thanks and blessings
Dear Pastor Kelly...watched you for the first time...a wonderful message...but can I also say that man can not preach with his hands in his pockets...Godbless
Very good sermon.
Thank you brother Kelly
I need help with a devil problem and people from certain church's bully, pick , and I too scared to go to church because of what the people of the church will do, so I have to protect myself with a stick or a ninja turtle, I hate what people have become and what I let people make me become, pastor, u are right love is the key with Jesus Christ and God I wish I could talk to you and see how we can get me on the right track
Worth watching even a second time.
Amen, thank you for sharing
Thanks for everything you do for people to hear the word of God
Blessings
Amen
👍🏻Amen
❤❤❤❤❤❤ AMEN
Our bread and water will be sure....We need to put our faith is n action now
Yes...our bread and water will be sure during the Great Tribulation...the little time of trouble is different...that is why we should be living in the country...growing our own food...for famine is coming...as well as wars...and more pestilence...and most are not truly walking with Jesus...or they would have heeded His prophetess...and been in the country...years ago.
@@truthtriumphant4015 Our bread and water will be sure during Jacobs little time of trouble because we will not be able to buy or sell. Gods people will be in different places of the earth, hiding. E.G.W even says God could even use the Ravens to bring us our bread like they did with Elijah. Or rain manna from heaven. The little time of trouble is Jacobs little time of trouble. CCH 281. Early Writings p. 256. Last day events p. 264 EARLY WRITINGS P. 88. Conductor on a train appearing as an angel of light, is Satan. Because he has deceived the whole world.
@@janaelana1872 then why were we told to move to the country? Why were we told in the last days the only way to reach people will be from home churches? Our food and water is NOT sure until the Great Tribulation...Jacobs time of trouble is during the Great tribulation. Satan has fooled a lot of Adventist into Not following God's word.
@@truthtriumphant4015 You are really confused. If you read the books i gave you, you will understand. My texts are being deleted.
@@janaelana1872 books you gave me? I read God's word and SOP to discern what is happening and coming...and Ron is not sounding the right warning for the time..and that worries me...sounds like the conference line...not what God told His end time church to do to survive what is coming.
Amen !!!
Thank you! I need to hear these reminders of living for Jesus now. He is coming soon!
wow hit it,, nailed it,,now what am I going to do with this wonder delivered message?
Has anyone here every read "Country Living"...or anything EGW wrote on the fact that we need to be living in the country growing our own food...cause our provision is only sure at the very end when God's judgements fall on the earth. Now we are in the little time of trouble...which could last for a good while...and our bread and water are not sure during this time...are you prepared to live on what you have for a year or more and prepared to help others...if not...I would suggest that is presumption...and not faith...and you might want to study up and prepare while there is still a little time. When the banks fail...when war starts...when the dollar folds...it will be too late. We should not be building in the city now...never really should be anyway...not in these times.
Seeds
@@billiemayer469 Yes...and most food is extremely difficult to grow ...even in good times...if people wait till "sunday laws" to move...they will not find a country home...and sure not one where they can plant seeds and grow food. Hubby and I have been organic gardening for over 30 years...and would starve if we had to live off what we can grow. So we have to prepare....as best we can...when we can...if we can....for ourselves and others. What we lack...if we are truly walking with Jesus...He will supply. Seeds are only good if a person has plenty of them...a place to grow food...plenty of fertilizer...energy to till/plant/harvest/can...a place to get water in case of drought....etc. Hopefully...many have prepared as the Lord told us to ...via EGW...and are prepared to be of service to the Lord when the time comes....I truly see more people on "prepping" channels who are preparing to be of service than what I see in SDA churches.
Amen! May we all work as never before for those around us that need Christ.
If there are children in the congregation you are doing something right because most churches don’t have any , or have very few . Children are the heritage of the Lord Psalms 127:3 . Without children the church is dying.
Love the honesty; “pp in His day were good at church; they just didn’t care above anybody”. The SDA church is a pathetic mess today, to which He wants to vomit them out. 30 years in church and tried to get 1, anyone to teach me the bible; nope, not one willing! Praise God for getting me out of church; thankfully Dr Paulien helped, and been serving Him fervently since. Sharing this.
About, not above-typo.
Church persecution very severe with violence, abuses, etc, when on front line trying to fill the churches (hard total self-sacrificing work); lots of jealousy, etc. against mission. In addition to zealously cleaning their kitchens, dining areas every week. Meanwhile church pp just pride themselves in “being” served. As if God doesn’t take notice!
Did you ever stop to think that many you asked to teach you didn’t know it themselves? How is it you were an SDA for 30 years and blame other members for not teaching you the scriptures? All you had to do was to go to your Pastor, or Amazing Facts or Amazing Discoveries or even the Adventist Book Store and buy a book on how to study the Bible. If you want to learn it, read it! Buy a Strong’s Concordance or use the free online Strong’s Concordance and look up topics. Go to a Daniel and Revelation seminar. Your excuse of not knowing your Bible because no one taught you isn’t going wash in the judgement as you should have asked for the Holy Spirit to enlighten you and God would have sent it like He did to William Miller - who taught him? The church has many problems and many people who are members in todays church will certainly not be saved, but blaming the church because no one would “teach” you is a little disingenuous.
I am sad you felt unloved and uncared for. The thought did enter my mind, even now... do youhave others you are teaching yourself? Each of us knows a little about something that another does not. We can share a little bit of what we know. Blessings! 🙏
.... I'm a little confused/concerned 🤔 Did God take you out of the church?....
Amen❤️🩹
I think many of you have completely missed the message he is trying to get across!
Ron...I have not heard from you regarding Nature of Christ. What is your view?
The open and boldness of the Gay Agenda has increased as a sign of the last days.
We need to ask "If we knew that the second coming of Christ would be in 2 months, would it be an inconvenience?"
They can't preCh as he preach like him because they do not have the knowledge
Why Brother Kelly are you not reading from the KJV Bible so as to unify those in your congregation and those who watch your videos online? Using any translation, other than the Authorized Version KJV Bible, is playing into the hands of demons and the fallacy of human wisdom.
Amen...others things...like not telling folks they need to be preparing ...since our bread and water are only sure during the great tribulation. During the little time of trouble(...which could last for a fairly long time...)we were supposed to be living in the country...and growing our own food...and preparing our home to be of service when things so south ...shortly...by using God's method's of healing and sharing Jesus with our neighbors...when they will finally listen...we will be able to do the work that God gave us to do over 160 years ago...we are told it is the only way ...in the end...that people will be reached. To say anything else goes against scripture and SOP. God told us what to do...we can't do anything else and be safe...would be presumption. I think the pastor does not realize that most in his congregation and online are not really walking with Jesus...and will starve if they listen to him.
That’s a very Catholic attitude you have. The papacy taught that the Bible could only be read in Latin, a language the people didn’t understand. Now there many many people that can’t understand the old English of the KJV and you want to discourage the reading of other translations? kJV is not the only version we can read. For one, most the world doesn’t speak English, what do they read? Must they learn English first? There are many credible and accurate translations and many bad paraphrases to be avoided. But a legitimate translation done my multiple scholars from different denominations and transcripts is safe. We can trust God preserves His word in the language of the people.
@@stuart249 Then they need to read the right type of Bible...not one that has been tampered with by Rome...as ALL modern versions have been. You change a little here and a little there and before long ...you have a whole different gospel that what God's unerring word actually says. We can trust Satan to confuse folks to where they will believe the broad way is the best way.
Dearest Pastor Kelly. At around minute 23: 30 you said that before the time of trouble, Satan will appear as Christ. I was told to contend with you on this. Satan appears as Christ after the close of probation. This can be proven in the great controversy because at the beginning of that chapter it says Michael stands up. This is why the prophecy says if it were possible he would deceive the elect. Before the close of probation, Satan appears as an angel of light in the form of a stately fair person that the world looks up to in reverence. This is recordedin early writings. This stately fair person leads the world with lightning speed “to perdition“. The same exact phrases used for the eighth king of revelation chapter 17 verse 11. Pope Francis the Jesuit is the eighth king since they regained their title of king and their seat of the dragon, within the seven Hills of Rome.he is possessed by Satan and is leading the world with lightning to perdition. This is Satan appearing as an angel of light. You are well beloved God bless.
It was my understanding that satan will appear as a dazzling being not in the form of the pope. I think it was Ivor Myers who pointed out that satan will take matters in his own hands after the papacy is unmasked for who she really is, after the governments of the world gave their power unto the pope and realized what she has done to the world that Satan is ready to appear as a glorious shiny saviour of the world.
Maybe this will make little sense Matthew 24:4. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

That is an interesting post, thank you. My first thought was "wow why do I keep running into this question?" My second thought was: what man deems important isn't always what God deems important. Adventists are big into timelines. We like to distill the complexity and nuance of prophecy into a tidy order of events. But God didn't give us charts. He gave us words, and then he gives understanding of those words when it is needed... which seems to be what you are searching for. I don't know the answer but there are a number of quotations that seem to suggest that Satan's act of personating Christ occurs both before and after the close of probation. Or perhaps the more nuanced way of understanding: Satan's personation occurs THROUGH the close of probation. It is, after all, Satan's last ditch effort to deceive, which as you point out, is fruitless after the Divine decree "He who holy let him be holy still..." Maranatha 205.4 Fundamentals of Christian Education 471.3-472.0 Great Controversy 561.2-562.0 Great Controversy 624.2-626 I believe God wants us to understand what is important, not what we think is important. Perhaps it's the who, what and why that matters, not the when and where. Thoughts?
@@mbaminnocentchinweike2922 The word "Christ" in verse 5 simply means anointed. Jesus is saying that many will come calling themselves Christian and claiming to have been anointed. And that's exactly what we see in the Christian world today.
Those kids talking in the congregation is COMPLETELY DISRESPECTFUL AND RUDE.
