WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT THE GIFT OF PROPHECY?

1 Corinthians 12:7-10 – “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another the ability to discern spirits; to another various kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.”

It is a gift given by the Holy Spirit.

The prophet Amos said, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). Prophets are God's spokesmen, specially gifted by the Holy Spirit for this task. According to the Bible, this gift would be seen in God's church in the last days.

Matthew 24:24 – “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

One of the signs of the end times would be the appearance of false prophets.
If there are false prophets, it is because there is a true one. In the same way, if there is a fake R$100.00 note, it is because there is a real one. The elect, those who love and serve God sincerely, will be able to distinguish between the true and false gift of prophecy, so as not to be deceived.

How, then, do you know whether a prophet is true or false?
1 John 4:1 – “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,

because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

The gift of prophecy must be proven by teaching all of Scripture.

Isaiah 8:20 – “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”

Jesus wants us to examine the teachings of any person, whether they are in accordance with the scriptures or not.

Acts 17:11 – “Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.”

The true prophet promotes fidelity to the Word of God, rebukes individual sins and those of the people in general.

Notice 1 Kings 18:18 – “Then he said, I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father's house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and have followed Baalim.”

These were the words of Elijah to Ahab, king of Israel. The prophet promotes spiritual reforms (1 Kings 18) and instructs on the plan of salvation.

What are the characteristics of a true prophet, according to the Bible?

a) 1 John 4:2 – “By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; it accepts the incarnation of Christ.”

Fruits appear in your life.

b) Matthew 7:15-23 – “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? And then I will profess unto them plainly, I never knew you:

Your predictions come true

c) Deuteronomy 18:21, 22 – “And if you say in your heart, ‘How can I know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’ When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, and the word does not follow or come to pass, that is the word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; do not be afraid of him.”

d) Deuteronomy 13:1-3 – “If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods, whom you have not known, and let us serve them;’ then you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.”

It does not contradict Scripture.

e) Isaiah 8:19, 20 – “And when they say to you, ‘Seek those who are mediums and mediums who whisper and mutter,’ should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the testimony? If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”

His visions are accompanied by physical phenomena.

f) Daniel 10:7-10 – “And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision. The men who were with me did not see it, but great fear fell upon them, and they fled and hid themselves. So I was left alone to see this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; my countenance was changed into corruption, and I had no strength.”

Many who call themselves prophets of God today do not possess all the characteristics necessary to be considered true prophets. The prophet must obey the Scriptures and his predictions must come to pass. The presence of physical phenomena alone is not sufficient proof of the true gift of prophecy, for Satan also works signs (Ex 7:9-12). A true prophet must exhibit all five characteristics mentioned above.

Which women had the gift of prophecy in the Bible?

a) Exodus 15:20 – “Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron”… MIRIAM.

b) Judges 4:4 – “Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, judged Israel at that time.”
DEBORAH .

c) Luke 2:36 – “And Anna the prophetess was there, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was well advanced in years, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity;” ANA .

d) Acts 21:8, 9 – “And the next day Paul departed thence, and we that were with him, and came to Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and we abode with him: and he had four daughters, virgins, which prophesied.” FOUR DAUGHTERS OF FELIPE

Throughout Christian history, other women also received the prophetic gift, such as Huldah.

2 Kings 22:14 – “Then Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the wardrobe (and she lived in Jerusalem in the second part), and they spoke to her.”

The verb “to prophesy” means “to proclaim”, “to be a spokesperson”, to speak in the name of God.
The role of prophetesses and prophets was diverse: to exhort, to rebuke, to correct abuses, to remind people of biblical teachings, to do justice, to predict or not predict the future, but all the prophets and prophetesses truly chosen by God developed a deep love for the Lord and lived a pious life.

Which church would have the true gift of prophecy?

Revelation 12:17; 19:10 – “And the dragon (Satan) was wroth with the woman (church), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

What is the testimony of Jesus?

Revelation 19:10 – “And I fell down at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, ‘See that you do not do that. I am your fellow servant and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.’”

Acts 2:16-18 – “But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel: And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: and on my servants and on my handmaids I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:”

In the last days, the true gift of prophecy would be seen within the church that follows God’s commandments. This testimony originates with Jesus and is revealed to His church through the prophets. The definition of the term “testimony of Jesus” is the spirit of prophecy, which means that Jesus gives testimony or assurance to the church through prophecy.

Why do Seventh-day Adventists accept that the gift of prophecy was manifested through the ministry of Ellen G. White?

• His teachings are based on the Bible. • It exalts the person of Christ.
• The fulfillment of his prophecies.
• The positive fruits in your life.

• His life and teachings were in accordance with the Bible and God’s law.

All the characteristics of the gift of prophecy are present in the person of Ellen G. White. His ideology about the Bible is balanced and helps us apply the truths of the gospel in our lives. As for her personal life, there is evidence that she exhibited behavioral changes during her visions. Several eyewitnesses can describe what happened to her during the visions.

What is our security in the final days?

2 Chronicles 20:20 – “Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will prosper.”

1 Thessalonians 5:20 – “Do not despise prophecies.”

There is nothing that gives a human being more confidence and security than believing in the Lord. The prophet was sent by God to bring about a spiritual regeneration in the hearts of His people. Material prosperity is a consequence of spiritual prosperity.

WHAT DO ELLEN WHITE'S WRITINGS SAY ABOUT ACCEPTING A PROPHET AS TRUE?

“We shall meet with false pretensions; false prophets shall arise; there shall be false dreams and false visions; but preach the Word, and turn not away from the voice of God in His Word.” – EF 20.3

“We have had to exercise every mental power to the utmost, trusting in the wisdom of God to guide us in our investigations, when we have had to examine the different theories brought to our attention, weighing their merits and defects in the light shining from the word of God, and from the things He has revealed to me through His word and testimonies, that we might not be deceived or deceive others. We have given Him our will and way, and have pleaded most earnestly for His help; and we have never sought it in vain. Many years of painful experience in connection with the work of God have made me familiar with all kinds of false movements. I have often been sent to different places, with the message, ‘I have a work for you to do in that place; When the time came, the Lord gave me a message for those who were having false dreams and visions, and in the strength of Christ I bore my testimony at the Lord's command. The most terrible accusations were thrown at me, which they said came from the Lord, because it is no light thing to substitute opinions and assertions, dreams, symbols and images from finite human beings for the revealed will of God. "The Lord has given me the Word, and let the Word of God be your authority." – ME2 93.1

“The most terrible accusations were thrown at me. They said they came from the Lord, because I was opposing His work. They said that terrible calamities would befall me, just as Anna had prophesied; but I continued perfectly conscious of the guardianship of the heavenly angels.” – ME2 75.1

“Everyone who teaches the truth for this time must preach the Word. Those who hold fast to the Word will not open the door to Satan by making rash statements in reference to prophesying or dreams and visions. To a greater or lesser extent, false manifestations have crept in here and there since 1844, after the time when we looked for the second coming of Christ. … We shall have them more and more, and as faithful sentinels we must be on our guard.” – ME2 21.4

“Letters come to me from many persons concerning visions they have had, and they feel it their duty to relate. May the Lord help His servants to be cautious.” – ME2 21.4 7

“We shall meet with false pretensions; false prophets will arise; there will be false dreams and false visions; but preach the Word, and do not turn away from the voice of God in His Word. Let nothing distract the mind. The wonderful, the marvelous, will be represented and presented. Through satanic deceptions, through wonderful miracles, the claims of human agencies will be urged upon you. Beware of all these.” – ME2 49.1

“Satan’s last deception will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God.

'Where there is no prophecy, the people perish.' Proverbs 29:18 . Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God's remnant people in the true testimony. He will introduce false visions to mislead, and will mix the false with the true, and thus disgust the people so that they will regard everything that bears the name of visions as a species of fanaticism; sincere souls, however, by comparing the false with the true, will be enabled to distinguish between them.” – ME2 78.2

“It is no light thing to substitute opinions and assertions, dreams, symbols, and images, from finite human beings, for the revealed will of God. Our actions, words, spirit, and influence are watched and criticized. Those whom God has chosen to be His ministers must stand solidly upon His Word, and let the Word of God be their authority.” – ME2 93.1

“Do you not think that I know something of these matters? All along our path to the heavenly Canaan we see many souls who have made shipwreck of faith, and in their false movements have led others into wrong paths because of the supposition that they were led of God in special revelations. I have had to write many, many pages to correct these errors. I have been troubled and oppressed night after night, unable to sleep because of the anguish of my soul for God’s heritage, His people, in danger of being led astray. Many things in these visions and dreams seem to be all right, a repetition of that which has been in the field for many years; but soon they bring in a jot here, a tittle there, just a little seed that takes root and blossoms, and many are defiled by it.” – ME2 86.4

SATAN CAN GIVE US FALSE DREAMS, FALSE VISIONS AND FALSE IMPRESSIONS

“There are many dreams which arise from the ordinary facts of life, and with which the Spirit of God has nothing to do. ‘There are also false dreams, as well as false visions, which are inspired by Satan. But dreams from the Lord are classed in the Word of God with visions, and are as truly the fruits of the spirit of prophecy as are visions. Such dreams, considering the persons who have them, and the circumstances under which they were given, contain their own evidence of genuineness.’” 2 Testimonies for the Church 1:569 (1867). – T5 658.5

“There will be spurious messages coming from people in every direction. One after another will arise, appearing to be inspired, when they have no inspiration from heaven, but are under the deception of the enemy. All who accept their messages will be led astray. Therefore, let us walk circumspectly, and not throw open the doors for the enemy to enter through impressions, dreams, and visions. God help us to look in faith to Jesus, and be guided by the words He speaks.” — Letter 66, 1894. – ME3 404.4

THE FACT THAT NOTHING OBJECTIONABLE IS FOUND IN DREAMS AND VISIONS IS NOT SUFFICIENT PROOF TO RECEIVE OUR ENDORSEMENT

“There is nothing so obvious in what has been written; you have not been able to discover anything objectionable; but this is no reason for using these writings as you have done. Your guidance in this matter is decidedly objectionable. Is it necessary that you should be able to discern immediately something that would do harm to God’s people in order to be cautious? If nothing of the kind appears, is that sufficient reason for you to give your endorsement to these writings?” 2SM, 94

“Fanaticism will even appear in our midst. Deceptions will come, and of such a character that, if possible, they would lead astray the very elect. If inconsistencies and untrue statements were plain in these signal manifestations, there would be no need for words from the lips of the Great Teacher. It is because of the many and varied dangers that would arise that this warning is given. The reason I present the danger signal is that through the illumination of the Spirit of God I can see that which my brethren do not discern. Perhaps it is not a positive necessity for me to point out all these peculiar features of deception from which they need to be guarded.

of God against accepting indiscriminately everything that professes to be communicated to them from the Lord.
If we work to create an excitement of feeling, we shall have all we want, and more than we can possibly know how to handle. Calmly and clearly 'that you preach the word'. II Tim. 4:2. We must not consider it our job to create excitement. Only the Holy Spirit can create healthy enthusiasm. Let God work, and let the human agent walk meekly before Him, watching, waiting, praying, looking every moment to Jesus, led and controlled by the precious Spirit who is light and life.” 2ME, 95

“Satan would think nothing better than to turn minds away from the Word, to wait and expect something outside of that Word to make them feel. They must not have their attention drawn to dreams and visions. If they would have eternal life, they must eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of God.” Letter 68, 1894.

ABOUT A SISTER NAMED ANA PHILIPS, WHO SAID SHE RECEIVED DREAMS AND VISIONS FROM GOD

“The Visions of Anna Phillips Compilers’ Note: “In 1893 Anna Phillips, a young woman living in Battle Creek, was led to believe that her impressions and dreams were notifications from the Spirit of God. She was encouraged in her work when her so-called testimonies, placed in the hands of a responsible worker, were read by him before the church at Battle Creek in the character of divinely inspired communications. The next day the worker received the communication presented here. When listening to him reading. Anna Phillips discerned and recognized the deception, repudiated her past work, and became a trusted and successful Bible teacher in the church’s work. — Compilers – ME2 85.0

“I know that we are living very near the close of this earth’s history; sensational events are in preparation. I am in full agreement with you when you present the Bible, and the Bible alone, as the basis of our faith. Satan is a wily foe, and he will work where many would not expect him at all. I have a message for you. Did you suppose that God had commissioned you to take the responsibility of presenting the visions of Anna Phillips, reading them in public, and uniting them with the testimonies which the Lord has been pleased to give me? The Lord has not laid this charge upon you. He has not given you this work to do.

“Dear brother, I wish to present to you some things concerning the dangers that threaten the work at the present time. The work of Anna Phillips does not bear the signature of Heaven. I know of what I speak. In our early experience in the infancy of this cause, we had to meet similar manifestations. Many such revelations were given, and we had a most unpleasant labor in meeting this element and making no room for it. Some of the things presented in these revelations have been fulfilled, and this has led some to accept them as genuine.” – ME2 86.1

“God did not call Anna Phillips to follow up the testimonies He has given to His people and repeat to them the meaning. But this is and has been her work. People did just the same thing in the early days of this cause. We have had every aspect of these false revelations to meet.” – ME2 86.2

“How is it, brother, that you have taken these communications and presented them to the people, interweaving them with the testimonies that God has given to Sister White? Where is the evidence that you have that they are from God? You cannot be too careful how you hear, receive, and believe. You cannot be too careful how you speak of the gift of prophecy, and declare that I have said this and that in regard to this subject. Such statements, I know, encourage men and women and children to imagine that they have special light in revelations from God, when they have received no such light. This, I was shown, would be one of Satan’s masterpieces of deception. – ME2 86.3

“I want to say as little as possible about Anna Phillips. The less this matter is talked about and agitated the better. There is a “dead fly in the ointment.” Before this reaches your hands, you will have received a letter giving a fuller statement of what we may expect in the case. I feel more sorry than I can express to you that the case has been so carelessly handled. We shall have scores upon scores of manifestations of this kind, and if our leading brethren take things of this nature and endorse them as they have in this case, we shall have one of the most fanatical waves we have ever seen in our lifetime. There will be the most confused workings. Satan has already begun his work.

In cases like these, it is essential to show moderation. The Lord is at the door. We cannot afford to work in the manner in which those who have presented Anna Phillips's productions to our churches have done without clear and conclusive proof that God is speaking to His people through her. For our ministers to rush to put a thing before our people as bearing divine credentials, unless they know for a certainty that it is of God, is to do a work which He has told them not to do. Many things will come designed to deceive, bearing some of the marks of truth. As soon as they are set in motion as the great power of God, Satan will be all ready to weave into them that which he has prepared to lead souls away from the truth for this time. …” – 2ME 92.

ERROR PRESENTS INSCRIPTION OF TRUTH

“Every conceivable message is coming to counterfeit the work of God, and always bearing the inscription of truth upon its banner. …” SM2 92.

At this time, more than at any other, hasty judgments, opinions formed negligently, without sufficient proof, can lead to the most disastrous results. When we follow from cause to effect, we will find that damage has been caused which, in some cases, can never be remedied. Oh! What wisdom and fine spiritual insights are needed in feeding God's flock, that this food may be pure, thoroughly winnowed fodder! Natural, hereditary traits of character need a firm check, else fervent zeal, good purposes, will tend toward evil, and excess of feeling will produce such impressions upon human hearts that they will be carried away by impulse and allow impressions to become their guide.
It is important to keep a check on spiritual impulse, so that no unwise words are spoken, no hasty ideas expressed, which could cause impulsive people to become disoriented. There are people whose feelings are readily stirred by vigorous arguments, and their imaginations enlarge the statement to great dimensions; everything seems real to them, and they become fanatics.” ME2 93.

“Those who hold fast to the Word will not open the door to Satan by rash statements regarding prophesying or dreams and visions. To a greater or lesser extent, counterfeit manifestations have been introduced here and there since 1844, after the time when we expected the second coming of Christ. We have had them in the Garmire case, in the K statements, and in the Stanton movement. We shall have them more and more, and as faithful watchmen we must be on the alert. Letters come to me from many concerning visions they have had, which they feel it their duty to report. May the Lord help His servants to be cautious. When the
Lord has a genuine channel of light, there are always counterfeits aplenty. (That is, if there is a counterfeit, there is a true one.) Satan will enter every door that is opened to him. In God's dealings with his people, everything is peaceful; on the part of those who trust in Him, everything is calm and unpretentious. There will be simple, true, and fervent believers in the Bible, and there will be doers as well as hearers of the Word. There will be a healthy, sincere, sensible wait on God. The believer will make his helpless soul depend on Jesus Christ. Christ will be exalted. To work and pray, to watch and wait, this is our position.” – Letter 102, 1894. ME2 96-97

I CONCLUDE WITH THE FOLLOWING QUOTES:

“There will always be false and fanatical movements in the church, made by those who claim to be led of God—those who will run before they are sent, and who will give a day and date for the fulfillment of unfulfilled prophecy. The enemy is pleased to have them do this, for their repeated failures and false guidance cause confusion and unbelief.” – Letter 28, 1897. 2ME, 84

“Então disse eu: Ah! Senhor DEUS, eis que os profetas lhes dizem: Não vereis espada, e não tereis fome; antes vos darei paz verdadeira neste lugar.
E disse-me o Senhor: Os profetas profetizam falsamente no meu nome; nunca os enviei, nem lhes dei ordem, nem lhes falei; visão falsa, e adivinhação, e vaidade, e o engano do seu coração é o que eles vos profetizam.
Portanto assim diz o Senhor acerca dos profetas que profetizam no meu nome, sem que eu os tenha mandado, e que dizem: Nem espada, nem fome haverá nesta terra: À espada e à fome, serão consumidos esses profetas.
E o povo a quem eles profetizam será lançado nas ruas de Jerusalém, por causa da fome e da espada; e não haverá quem os sepultem, tanto a eles, como as suas mulheres, e os seus filhos e as suas filhas; porque derramarei sobre eles a sua maldade.
Portanto lhes dirás esta palavra: Os meus olhos derramem lágrimas de noite e de dia, e não cessem; porque a virgem, filha do meu povo, está gravemente ferida, de chaga mui dolorosa.” Jeremiah 14:13-17

MY STUDIES AND INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE DREAMS AND VISIONS OF SISTER DAYSE ESCALANTE

In 2017, a friend showed me Sister Dayse’s audios. I was very dismayed to hear them. It really seemed like a God desperate to seek out a people who are not ready. They provoked in me and in many others an excitement of feelings, just like the quote from 2ME, 95. An excitement that can be easily provoked, and whose consequences we will not be able to control.

Many good messages were delivered, among them I highlight: The correct way to observe the Sabbath (forgotten or neglected by many), life in the countryside as a step towards improving character. I want to emphasize that all of these messages sounded with an unparalleled tone of urgency and, at times, threats. Anyone who hears them in their entirety is immediately dismayed and afraid.

However, in my heart, with prayer and sincere humility, I sought to understand these words and apply them to my life. It all seemed to fit with the Bible and my little knowledge of the Spirit of prophecy.

I needed to pass everything by “the law and the testimony” (Isaiah 8:20), but how would I do that? I continued praying to God and asking for discernment. I never intended to reject a prophet of God! So I continued to investigate.

I agree that if deception were easy to discern Jesus would not have warned us so emphatically. That is why Jesus warns us to be careful of false prophets, who “if possible would deceive even the elect” (Mt 24:11). How Dayse's visions and dreams are

constant to this day (three years have already passed), I needed to investigate and let time pass to show the true character of his dreams and visions.

The Lord’s messenger tells us: “Fanaticism will appear even in our midst. Deceptions will come, and of such a character that, if possible, they would lead astray the very elect. If inconsistencies and untrue statements were plain in these signal manifestations, there would be no need for the words from the lips of the Great Teacher. It is because of the many and varied dangers that would arise that this warning is given. The reason I present the danger signal is that through the illumination of the Spirit of God I can see that which my brethren do not discern. It may not be a positive necessity for me to point out all these peculiar features of deception from which they need to be guarded. – ME2, 95

That's why we need to check carefully before we make a decision as to whether such messages are true or false.

Before continuing, I would like to make it very clear that it is not my desire in this material to denigrate Mrs. Dayse, but to fulfill God's mandate to investigate whether her messages are based on “thus says the Lord.” From the little I knew of her, she seemed to me to be a person who seeks the Lord a lot, who has a high moral decision-making power, and seeks to strictly obey God's will.

As much as I understood that I should be thorough with all of this, and I understand infinitely more today, I did not have knowledge of all of Ellen White's writings, as I have not yet read all of her books. At the time I had read the entire Conflict series (PP, PR, DTN, GC), The Story of Redemption, Early Writings, Steps to Christ, The Adventist Home, Guidance (condensed into two series for parents), Messages to Young People, Object Lessons, Counsels on Diet and Foods, and the entire Bible. Because of this, I thought that by the power of God I could discern any error. However, the fact that I am not familiar with all of Ellen White's writings and have never had contact with anything similar before; and at the same time know and investigate the alpha and omega apostasy (which shocked me greatly with the entire state that the church, which is the apple of God's eye, finds itself in); as well as, breaking down barriers set by God regarding family life (because of family problems I went through); made me dive into this message. Today, more than ever, I can say that these messages reach people who are frustrated, hurt and disappointed with something that made them suffer a lot, and for this reason they intensely desire the return of Jesus as a solution to their problems and needs for justice. I would also like to highlight the influential power of friendship. How powerful this is! Being friends with people who firmly believe in the truth of these visions has had a powerful influence on me. And I say more, how we need to be judicious in our friendships.

In part, the saying is true: “Tell me who you hang out with, and I’ll tell you who you are!”

Below I highlight some controversial points of the message that came through dreams and visions to Sister Dayse:

I will remind you of some points from Ellen White's quotes:
➢ Satan can give dreams and visions and can work with impressions in the mind;

➢ The fact that we do not find any objectionable error right away is no guarantee that the message comes from God.

➢ The messages begin with many things true, and as soon as everyone is believing, an “i” or a “j” of error is introduced. (He will give messages of truth, mixing with it ideals of his own, designed to mislead souls, to draw the minds to human beings and their sayings, and to keep them from holding fast to a “Thus saith the Lord.” 2 ME 97)

In the truthful testimony of Gabriel, the former Satanist, he himself mentions that there are subjects of Satan who study Sister White's Testimonies only to distort them.

➢ “There would be dreams and visions, symbols, images, from human beings, and these would be replaced by the word of God. (It is no light thing to replace the revealed will of God with opinions and assertions, dreams, symbols, and images, from finite human beings. Our actions, words, spirit, and influence are watched and criticized. Those whom God has chosen to be His ministers must stand solidly on His Word, and let the Word of God be their authority.” – 2SM 93.1)

I realized that the more people receive Dayse's dreams and visions, the more they seek this source and the less they seek and study the Word of God; Dayse's testimonies end up largely replacing Bible Study. My safeguard against these things was that at the time I was listening to Dayse's audio testimonies, I was reading the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy much more than at other times in my life, because I was doing a study plan of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, provided by one of our associations. I have also always been very emphatic about not allowing anyone to be my conscience, when it comes to matters involving God, and tell me what I have to do. I have always told the Lord in my prayers that He could speak directly to me as to what He wanted me to do.

➢ The purpose of all this is to take people away from “thus says the Lord”, to lead them to human revelations, to cause confusion and disbelief, and to spread fanaticism everywhere.

“Satan’s last deception will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God.

Today, the group that studies Dayse's testimonies believes that she is a prophet like Ellen White and that there is no way for us to be saved if we reject her testimonies. It saddens me to see how Satan has managed things to lead them to this conclusion. I personally believe, as Paul wrote in his letter to the Romans, that many were and will be saved only by knowing God through His first book: “Nature”. I believe that many will be and are saved only with the knowledge they had of the Bible and Nature, and others who had the opportunity for more light, knew the Lord better through the revelation given to His prophetess Ellen White. I think it is serious to say that, if we do not accept and believe in Dayse's testimonies, we will not be saved, or there will not be a people prepared for the loud cry.

Some messages from Dayse's dreams and visions in controversy with the Bible the Spirit of Prophecy

1. Is the Seventh-day Adventist Church Babylon?

In one of her messages, Dayse hears God say that she can no longer be in the temple, due to the abominations that are practiced there. Further ahead she uses Apoc. 18:1 – Come out of her, my people, to apply the need to leave the Adventist church, because of the apostasy that has invaded our midst. At the conference I attended where she ministered, she often used: “Come out of her (from Babylon: referring to the Seventh-day Adventist Church and other churches) my people, so that you will not share in her sins and receive her plagues.”

See what Sister White warned us:

“Has not God a living church? He has a church, but it is the church militant, not the church triumphant. We grieve that there are defective members, that there are tares among the wheat. … While evils exist in the church, and will exist until the end of the world, the church in these last days is to be the light of a world polluted and demoralized by sin. The church, feeble and defective, needing to be rebuked, warned, and counseled, is the only object on earth upon which Christ bestows His supreme regard.” – EF 52.2

“Some people seem to think that when they enter the church, their expectations will be fulfilled, and they will find only those who are pure and perfect. They are zealous in the faith, and when they see faults in the members of the church, they say, ‘We have forsaken the world that we might not associate with evil characters, but here also is evil;’ and they ask, like the servants in the parable, ‘Why then are there tares?’ But we need not be thus disappointed, for the Lord has not authorized us to conclude that the church is perfect; all our zeal will not succeed in making the church militant as pure as the church triumphant.” – EF 61.3

“The church militant is not the church triumphant, and earth is not heaven. The church is composed of erring, imperfect men and women, who are only students in the school of Christ, to be trained, disciplined, educated, for this life and the future immortal life.” – EF 61.2

“The work is nearing completion. Those members of the church militant who have proved themselves faithful will become the church triumphant.” – EF 62.1

We are Laodicea, according to Revelation 3:14-22, not Babylon. But sad to say, Laodicea is also not saved unless they accept the counsel of the faithful and true witness, and purchase the elements offered by him in order to be saved. God revealed that our people would enter into a great apostasy, which would only end when the great sifting, the shaking, causes the separation between the wheat and the chaff. Even though the church is full of sinful people, Jesus is the one who walks among the lampstands (Revelation 1), and He will not abandon it (1 Samuel 12:22). His church is fighting against the world, sin and the flesh.

2. A prophecy that was not fulfilled!

In the study presented at the congress, according to Dayse, God asks her to study and reread the Great Controversy several times, Chapter 1. 1. She outlines her studies in a prophetic timeline, comparing the siege of Jerusalem with the last siege, the siege of the Sunday law, which prevents buying and selling. As it was in the past, during the last siege people were starving because they could not buy or sell. When studying, we see that the first siege was in the year 66 AD, carried out by the general, Cestius Gallus, at the Feast of Tabernacles, and the second was three and a half years later, carried out by general Titus, at the Feast of Easter. Cestius placed his banners around Jerusalem, that was the sign that the prophet Daniel and Jesus referred to, the famous “Abomination of Desolation”. Abominable, because it brought symbols of idolatry, something abominable to God, wherever it was embedded it only brought desolation. Likewise, in the lecture, it was applied that in 2015, the Pope planted his banners (flags) and spoke at the American National Congress (USA), presenting his encyclical on the environment, presenting Sunday in a disguised way as a solution to the problems of climate catastrophes. In the same year, same-sex marriage was approved in the USA. According to EGW, the Sabbath and marriage are twin institutions. For Dayse, that year, especially at this moment when the Pope spoke, the banners of the first siege were placed. Coincidence or not, he (the pope) spoke at a party of cabins (in September). Titus returned to attack Jerusalem at the Passover feast after three and a half years. So the parallel was drawn, and as everything repeats itself under the sun (so says Ecclesiastes), the understanding is that the Sunday decree would come at Easter in the year 2019, the second siege (to understand this well, read chapter 01 of the Great Controversy and research the veracity of the data).

When I asked her if this was the period for the Sunday decree, she would not openly say yes. But from his entire presentation this is what anyone would easily deduce.

Ellen White, the Lord's messenger, makes it clear to us that the last period of prophetic time comes to an end in 1844. Interpretations that go beyond this are futuristic and not historicist visions (historicist: the way in which Seventh-day Adventists study prophecies), and do not follow revelation.

“Then the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them, that there will be delay no longer.” Rev 10:5 and 6.

This message announces the end of the prophetic periods.

The disappointment of those who expected to see the Lord in 1844 was bitter indeed, to those who had so ardently anticipated His appearing. It was in the Lord's plan that this disappointment should come and hearts should be revealed. 2ME, 108

No Time Prophecy Beyond 1844

I stated plainly at the Jackson camp meeting to these fanatical parties that they were doing the work of the adversary of souls; were in darkness. They claimed to have great light as to the close of probation in October, 1844. I there stated publicly that the Lord had been pleased to show me that there was no definite time in the message given by God since 1844. Selected Messages, bk. 2, p. 73.

Our position has been to wait and watch, with no proclamations of any time to interpose between the close of the prophetic periods in 1844 and the time of our Lord's coming. Manuscript Releases, Vol. 10, p. 270.

The people will have no other message about a definite time. After this period of time (Revelation 10:4-6), extending from 1842 to 1844, there can be no definite outline of prophetic time. The longest count goes to the fall of 1844. The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 7, p. 971.

I understand that Brother [EP] Daniels has, as it were, set a time, stating that the Lord will come within five years. Well, I hope the impression doesn't spread that we're marking time. Let no such comments be made. They do not produce any benefit. Do not seek to obtain a revival on the basis of anything of this nature, but let due caution be used in every word spoken, lest fanatical persons seize upon anything to produce a revival which will thus grieve the Spirit of the Lord.

We do not need to stir up people's passions to provoke agitations in which feelings are stirred and principles do not take control. I think we have to be on our guard on all sides, because Satan is at work to do everything in his power to insinuate his devices and wiles into a power to do harm. Anything that causes agitation and produces movement for the wrong reasons is to be feared, for there will certainly be a reaction. Letter 34, 1887. EF, 35

There will always be false and fanatical movements made in the church by people who claim to be led by God – People who will run before they are sent, and will give a day and date for the fulfillment of unfulfilled prophecy (such as: Sunday law, the close of probation, the beginning of Jacob's time of trouble, the return of Jesus). The enemy is pleased to have them do this, for their successive failures and misdirection cause confusion and unbelief. Letter 28, 1897. 2ME, 84

God does not give any man a message that five, ten, or twenty years will pass before the history of this world is finished. He does not want to give living beings an excuse to delay preparing for His appearance. He does not want anyone to say the same thing as the unfaithful servant, “My Lord is delaying His return,” for this leads to reckless neglect of the opportunities and privileges granted to prepare us for that great day. Review and Herald, November 27, 1900. EF, 36

Spring and Easter passed, and nothing happened regarding the Sunday law! There was also an attempt to say that it would be five months after Easter, since that was when Titus managed to enter the city. There was also the following statement: “the decree was issued in a camouflaged form, no longer explicit, as was the attempt in 1888.

I don't know about this, within the Spirit of prophecy, if there is, the fact is that it was as if it had happened through laws that will still be applied... VAGUE!
As for the important Event that would happen at Easter 2019, it was said that it happened in heaven, that the shofars (trumpets) were sounded there.

What God said through his prophetess regarding these movements happened perfectly.

“During the past forty-five years I have had to meet persons claiming to have messages of reproof from God for others. This feature of religious fanaticism has cropped up from time to time since 1844. Satan has worked in many ways to establish error. Some of the things spoken of in these visions have come to pass; but many others—regarding the time of Christ’s return, the close of probation, and events to come—have proved to be wholly false, as were their prophecies and those of Hannah. Yet they have sought to excuse their errors by twisting the statements concerning them, and giving them another meaning, and have gone on in the same way, deceiving and being deceived.” ME2 76

3. A message of fear and contradiction

Many preparations had to be made, since the siege of Jerusalem was but a faint and pale shadow of the last siege in the history of the earth… And soon would come, at Easter 2019, the last siege.

Everyone should go to the countryside, even if their spouses didn't want to go. And they were to make a shelter (cabin) and plant crops to perfect their character, store food and live a life of godliness, for everything was about to happen and God wanted to give the Holy Spirit. But only those who lived in the countryside and were in total obedience to everything that God commanded (which was what “god” revealed to her in dreams and visions) could receive it and give the loud cry. There were countless instructions for everything to be ready before Easter 2019. Fast, very fast! It was the message.

There were messages from “god” that everything should be ready before spring, the spring where Dayse lives. Before Easter, according to the Jewish calendar.

The hut would be like Noah's ark, where God would protect those who had been faithful and built and entered it. The whole building part was part of God's plan to perfect character.

*Note: When I put “god”, in lowercase and in quotation marks, it is because in reality it is not God who speaks, but the false prophetess Dayse. But people who believe their messages refer to them as coming from God.

• When we read about how to build a wooden house in the spirit of prophecy we see that the model given by Dayse does not match the one revealed by Ellen White. Because the cabin was to be built under trees to be camouflaged, and a camouflage cover had to be spread over the roof, and there were the correct measurements for the size of the house, with the model for construction. My family of 4 people needed to build a house measuring 3m x 4.5m, with a floor above, where people would sleep, as it would be more protected, up high.

In this model of home, there was no privacy for couples, children and parents had to always sleep together, on mattresses on the floor. The huts look like a kind of shelter.

I asked about this and there was no answer, except that if I didn't build as “god” had said, I wouldn't receive His protection. The trees very close to the cabin brought insects and fungi into the houses, which soon molded the wooden walls in several places. My cabin didn't get enough sunlight because the trees blocked it. It was also built on the lower part of the land, near the water, and not on the higher part of the mountains that exist there. Let's see what the Spirit of Prophecy says about this:

“(…) Do away with the heavy curtains, open the windows and blinds, do not allow climbing plants, however beautiful they may be, to shade your windows, nor allow any tree to be so close to the house that it prevents the sunlight from penetrating it (…).” (The Adventist Home, p. 149) (The Ministry of Healing, p. 275).

“A yard beautified with trees and a few shrubs, at a convenient distance from the house, has a salutary influence upon the family, and, if well cared for, will prove beneficial to the health. But shade trees and thick, dense shrubs around the house make it unhealthy, as they impede the free circulation of the air and the rays of the sun. As a result, dampness pervades the house, especially in the rainy season.” (The Adventist Home, p. 149) (Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, p. 107).

• This message did not help anyone develop the fruits of the Spirit of Galatians 5:22. There was a lot of thought put into themselves, their food supplies being prepared and their huts being ready. Everyone who accepted this message was anxious and terrified, with so many preparations. There were many disagreements between everyone, and the fear that not everything was ready was constant. Terrifying messages were given about going to the cities. At any moment the catastrophes she dreamed of would happen and it wasn't safe to stay there (that's what I thought). I myself would go to the city with great fear and distress and would soon return. Dayse mentioned dreams where there were people who, for many days, were unable to go home or change their clothes, unable to move around, due to the misfortunes that would befall them. Some people would be stuck in airports for many days. But God had already foretold through His prophetess, Ellen White, about these movements that would work to excite the senses.

4. Use of iridiology

At the 2018 congress in Brasília, Sister Dayse served many people, as she practices medical missionary work. And in their consultations, three people, of whom I know, were consulted through the iris of the eye.

The disease she said two of these people had, when medical tests were done, never existed. She detected one of them with cancer, when in fact, she did not have any cancer in her breast. Further proof that iridology is fortune telling and not science.

• Iridology is not a Christian practice. (As the book Christianity and Alternative Therapies – Physiology and Mysticism, by Hélio Luiz Grellmann, clearly shows) God showed me this through a naturopathy course, which God inspired me to take while I was doing my morning devotions in the countryside. How good God is, He gave me a course to answer me about the true prophet and also to free me from all this deception! How perfect are the ways of the Almighty and unsearchable!

After more than a year of receiving visions from God, it would not be possible that God had not explained to Dayse that iridology does not come from Him and had corrected her, if she lacked knowledge. Here is a simple summary of what is behind the philosophies that iridology brings.

Iridology is the art of analyzing through the eyes the signs of physical, mental and spiritual problems. According to iridologists, not only physiological reactions are analyzed in the eyes, such as yellowness in the white of the eye; which is a sign of hepatitis, or the physiology of the retina of the eye when suffering from hypertension or diabetes; but there are 96 main zones and multiple smaller areas, supposedly related to various anatomical portions of the body (this is not true according to God's teachings). And the diagnosis is made by interpreting the color of these areas. Blue is a symptom of health, gray or brown implies illness. The big X of the issue of using iridology is that it takes us back to prognoses and divination, which are expressly prohibited by God in Deuteronomy 18:10-12. Furthermore, there is a physiology of the energies that interact between the internal organs and the iris of the eye, this same energy, according to them, interacts with the universe and other forces or forms of vital energy.

This concept of energy that interacts and heals is a subtlety of Satan to take the focus away from God and His healing power, giving credit to the forces of the cosmic world, which are nothing more than the electrical currents (of the power) of Satan. God warns us about these things. The Lord's Prophetess in Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 114 says: “Many teach that matter possesses vital force: that certain properties are imparted to matter, and that it is then left to act by its own inherent energy; and that the operations of nature are directed according to fixed laws, with which God Himself cannot interfere. This is false science, and is not supported by the word of God.” We conclude that the philosophy behind iridology is not in accordance with “the law and the testimony”, with what God has revealed.

I conclude that no one can receive visions from God, and not be corrected about a wrong practice, as is the case with iridology. God corrects and rebukes the errors of anyone he chooses to use.

5. “THE MESSAGE OF “GOD”, TO A COUPLE WHO LIVE BY FAITH AND OBEDIENCE TO GOD.

Cecília and Linck are a couple I met on the farm where I used to go, in Buritis-MG. They are people who left everything to obey God. They left their jobs, a house where they lived, new furniture, and they go where God sends them. They live health reform and country life. Even while pregnant and then with a newborn baby, she faced difficult moves from one place to another in order to obey God.

She gave birth at home, with the help of her husband. They went to live on the farm where I built the cabin (a place given verbally, which is not mine by document) with the intention of having a more private place to raise their son, and in obedience to God's instructions. The message from Dayse is that they would be a strong arm for the lady who owned the farm, and that she would be their advisor.

However, what happened was something different. Por não aceitarem a Dayse como profetisa de Deus as relações sociais não foram boas, até que de “deus” (ou seja, da Dayse), veio a seguinte mensagem quanto a eles (o casal), enviada para senhora da fazenda, repassar a eles (Cecília e Linck): “Saludos mi amada hermana y amiga. Si creo que esto es una prueba proveniente del Señor para probar la fe de todos y probar los espíritus de ustedes. Debemos estar siempre levantando la norma en nuestras vidas. La apariencia de piedad no es piedad. Esto ha sido una prueba de fe para ustedes ya la vez una oportunidad que ellos no han sabido aprovechar. Los textos antes mencionados son para ellos, el Señor lo dicto así. No pueden estar dos juntos sino estuviesen de acuerdo. Por tanto ya su tiempo fue cumplido y es hora de su partida, Dios les dió una oportunidad y ellos le han menospreciado. Esta es la voluntad del Eterno Malaquías 2:10 Oseas 2: 8-11”

TRANSLATION OF THE WORDS OF THE FARM LADY: “Greetings, my dear sister and friend. I truly believe that this is a test from the Lord to test everyone’s faith and to test their spirit. We must always be raising the level of our lives. The appearance of godliness is not godliness. This has been a test of faith for you and, at the same time, an opportunity that they did not take advantage of. The cited texts are for them, the Lord dictated it so. Two cannot be together if they do not agree. Therefore, their time has been fulfilled and it is time for them to leave, God gave them a chance and they despised it.

Malachi 2:10 – “Have we not all one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do we deal treacherously, each one against his brother, and desecrate the covenant of our fathers?” (this text says that they acted treacherously and falsely).

Hosea 2:8-11 – “For she does not know that I gave her grain, wine, and oil, and that I multiplied her silver and gold, which she used for Baal. Therefore I will take away my grain in its season, and my wine in its season; and I will take away my wool and my flax, with which they covered their nakedness. And now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.

• I had the opportunity to get to know this couple up close, and what I can say about them is that they strive to obey God in everything. Flawed, like all humans, but always moving forward. And that such words, for someone who seeks to serve and seek Jesus, and depend solely and exclusively on Him, could not have come from the beloved Master and Savior. Jesus' words to Mary Magdalene, without any accusatory tone, are an example of him in dealing with human beings. Asking that couple to leave, with such a small baby, after all the difficult conditions they had to go through to get there. And in the humble home of a simple cabin, to stay, which they gladly accepted, and before a month of staying there, they asked to move... even though no one would live there... by “order of God”! This made me understand that Satan was very eager to remove that couple from that land, because their stay in that place was shaking up the lives of everyone there and would continue to be a powerful influence to warn all those who accepted the messages of Dayse's dreams and visions as true. The prophecy made to the lady of the farm proved to be false and did not come from God. The message of judgment on the couple's character was also soon understood to not have come from God.

This couple asked God for guidance as to whether or not the message was from God, and God responded in several ways:

*During a conversation about Dayse, people who believe tried to explain and convince Cecília that Dayse's testimonies were true. She prayed and asked God to answer whether this was from Him through the daily texts of that week.

Bible texts: Daily verses, which they took that day:
“You shall not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples who are around you;” Deuteronomy 6:14
“Do not be carried away by various and strange doctrines, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, and not by foods that have not profited those who indulged in them.” Hebrews 13:9 2

Answers to silent prayers – Asking God for a sign
*In prayer (not audible) Linck asked that there not be any testimonies from Dayse on Saturday, as proof that it did not come from God. And it didn't. This happened three times. (Three Saturdays in a row).

*On the third Sabbath he also added to his prayer, asking God not only to prevent Dayse's testimonies, but to change the Sabbath study book, if God had not given this guidance, because on Sabbath, those who believe in Dayse receive guidance from her regarding the EP book and chapter that they should read, and which passages from the Bible are, as well as the hymn from the old Adventist hymnal that should be sung.

And on that day there was a confusion in the translation from Spanish to Portuguese, and the chapter of the book Mind, Character and Personality vol. 1, instead of the book Sanctification.

I see great danger in having a targeted message every Saturday, because it will lead thoughts to the purpose of the person who is directing them, and this is serious, because they do not come from God.

The couple soon understood that God did not want them to drink this water, that is, that they did not receive this doctrine.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

• A message came that a land that Dayse knew and dreamed of would be acquired by me and my family. This land is next to that of a sister with whom we are very close friends, where I later built my cabin.

• The message came from “God” about storing food for the time of pre-distress, before the plagues fall. We should stock up on food for at least a year and a half. They were placed in vacuum-sealed PET bottles. Then stored in buckets and buried in various places on the farm. The purpose of burying oneself would be to avoid being looted in times of crisis. And that God would preserve everything, for its due time. You should also make backpacks like those used by explorers so that when they are being chased, they can go out into the field with them and take refuge in the mountains and caves.

• Even seeing how difficult it would be to acquire that land, without electricity or houses, my heart and Douglas's opened to buying it. Douglas asked for a sign from God, as to whether what Dayse said was from God. However, the man who had been trying to sell his father's land for some time gave up and no longer wanted to sell it. I appealed in every way, made proposals, but it was useless. His word of revelation was not fulfilled! Then a message came to me saying that I should build a cabin on my sister's land. The cabin had all the dimensions determined, and no division of sleeping areas. Parents and children slept together in the same room. There was no privacy for a couple. A true shelter from the crisis. It was not a country house like I had dreamed of, where I could receive visitors to testify to my experience. Very controversial to everything God says about country life.

It looks more like a place of refuge for end-time spiritual warfare.

• The Lord tells us that we must have everything ready before the crisis. But today I am sure that all this ready-made food is not stored food. After doing everything as “god” asked, a year and ten months passed. And when one of the holes was opened to see how the food was, it was full of bugs, moths, expired, and bad-tasting nuts. Black and rotten things, such as dried fruit, and also things that are out of date. Others smelled like sewage, because water had gotten in and rotted everything. God had already warned us about this, in this text by Ellen White:

“Food and Land in the Last Days – Maranatha Meditation, June 22.
‘Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.’ Matt. 6:34.

The Lord has shown me in vision, repeatedly, that it is contrary to the Bible to make any provision for our temporal needs in the time of trouble. I saw that if the saints had food laid up by them, or in the fields, in the time of trouble, when sword, famine, and pestilence are in the land, it would be taken from them by violent hands, and strangers would reap their fields. It will then be time for us to trust completely in God, and He will sustain us. I saw that our bread and water would be sure at that time, and that we would not lack or suffer hunger. The Lord showed me that some of His children would be afraid when they saw the price of food rising, and would buy food to store against the time of trouble. Then in a time of need I saw them go to their food and look at it, and behold it had bred worms and was full of living creatures, and was unfit for use. – For those who are receiving the seal of the living God, 13-01-1849.

Houses and lands will be of no use to the saints in the time of trouble, for they will have to flee before angry mobs, and at that time their possessions cannot be released for the advancement of the cause of present truth... I saw that if any will cling to their property, and will not inquire of the Lord as to their duty, He will not make that duty known, and they will be permitted to retain their property, and in the time of trouble it will come upon them as a mountain to crush them, and they will seek to dispose of it, but it will not be possible. (the saints must even part with their lands)… If they would be taught, He would teach them, in time of need, when to sell and how much to sell. – PE, 56, 57.
In the last great battle of the conflict with Satan, those who are loyal to God will find themselves deprived of all earthly support. Because they refuse to break His law in obedience to earthly powers, they will be forbidden to buy or sell. Their death will finally be decreed. … But to the obedient the promise is given: “He shall dwell on high; the strongholds of the rocks shall be his refuge; his bread shall be given him, and his waters shall be sure.” Isa. 33:16. By this promise the children of God will live, – DN 86.”

What God said in this paragraph was fulfilled to the letter: “I saw them go to their food and look at it, and behold, it had bred worms and was full of living creatures, and was unfit for use.”

We were convinced even by reading this that the provision was for the previous time of trouble, not for Jacob's time of trouble. And so we put it all together. What a lack of faith! I wonder what God is that reveals all this and has no power to preserve food. Unlike the people of Israel who gathered double the manna on Friday and did not spoil it on Saturday.

Another mistake mixed with a lie.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

It may be difficult to understand how many people adhere to these messages, as I did. But the Lord revealed that everything would seem right, but in a subtle way, an “i” and a “tilde” would be introduced, and thus error would be placed alongside the truth. I never had full conviction, but it seemed very right to me for a while.

There were many things I didn't understand in her dreams and visions. Things without explanations, without interpretation. each one interprets it as they think it is. many symbols, kinds of parables. anyway… Very different from God’s revelations to Ellen White, which always have an explanation of what is meant at the end.

My wish for you, the reader, is to warn you about the deception of this message, which took me 3 years to be able to verify and discern. And may you not be entangled in the same fanaticism. I have learned that the deceptions of the end times will be so subtle that your eyes will see, your ears will hear, but we will not be able to accept them if it is not based on “Thus says the Lord!”

Therefore, the Bible and only the Bible will be our shield at this time. I urge you to study this book further and not fail to delve into it, it will be Our Only Safeguard! Do not trust your feelings, they are deceptive, nor your intuitions, Satan can use them (pass all your impressions through the filter that is the word of God). Don't waste time listening to other people's dreams and visions, go straight to the source. Such messages, also called testimonies, are designed to take your mind off the word of God and bring discredit to the prophet who is truly true.

My name is Nayara dos Santos Monteiro do Nascimento, I have been an Adventist since birth. I believe that God helped me prepare this material so that you, friend and brother in faith, can benefit from this testimony and be free to overcome the disappointments along this path.

Today I Praise and Glorify the name of God for taking my feet out of a miry pit and placing me on a Rock of Solid Ground!
If you wish to contact me, send me an email to reflexãoacristo@gmail.com, it will be a pleasure to help you in any way I can. Forgive me if I cannot express so clearly through words the things I experienced, but within my limited knowledge of grammar, I tried to do my best. Know that even without knowing you, I already pray for you.
