泰德·威尔逊牧师一直在每周的视频中谈论三天使信息。为何要如此？因为一个处于危机中的世界迫切需要希望和爱的话语。

事实上，怀艾伦在著作《教会证言》卷九第19页有所提示。

就特别的意义而言，基督复临安息日会的人被安置在世上，乃是作守望者和擎光者。那给将亡之世界的最后警告，已经托付了他们。从上帝的道中有奇妙的光照在他们身上。那所托付他们的乃是传扬第一、第二、和第三位天使的信息——这是一种极其严肃重要的工作，再怎么重要都不为过。他们不可让任何其它事物引离他们的注意。那历来交托给人之最严肃重要的真理已托付了我们，要我们去传给世人。传扬这些真理乃是我们的任务。

确实，长期以来三天使信息已经成为我们布道的一部分。然而，我们对这些信息了解多少呢？我们能对其他人讲解这些信息吗？

为了帮助我们了解这些，泰德牧师与太太南茜在本集中谈论了禁食祷告在见证中的重要性。

祷告更好地帮助我们理解圣经，在生活的艰难中造就信心，从圣灵中获取力量成为有效的见证者。

但是为什么这包括禁食呢？我们禁食因为想要得到主的赐福。这不是一个选择。而是我们对祂爱的回应。

关于这一点，我们有《饮食与食物证言》中的建议（《论饮食》第188、189页）：“从今以后直到世界末日，上帝的子民应当更加真诚警醒，不依靠自己的聪明，而是依靠他们领袖的智慧。他们要安排日子禁食祷告。禁绝不必要的食物，只进少量最清淡的食物。”

同时，我们要记住禁食不仅是不进食。更是要选择牺牲一些事情，全心全意地祈祷。但是这不是为了获取天上的奖励。相反，我们的目标是消除干扰，这样我们才能全心全意地寻求耶稣。

泰德牧师邀请你参加这个特别的禁食祈祷日。正如马太福音18:19-20所说，“我又告诉你们，若是你们中间有两个人在地上，同心合意地求什么事，我在天上的父，必为他们成全。因为无论在哪里，有两三个人奉我的名聚会，那里就有我在他们中间。”

现在就是分享上帝希望和拯救的最后信息之时了。再没有时间耽搁了。因此，当我们一起禁食祈祷时，不要错过上帝为你们准备的福气。

Pastor Ted Wilson would always talk about the three angels’ messages in his weekly videos. Why not? For a world in crisis, words of hope and love are urgently needed.

In fact, Ellen White has a reminder about this in her book, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p. 19.

She says, “In a special sense, Seventh-day Adventists have been set in the world as watchmen and light-bearers. To them has been entrusted the last warning for a perishing world. On them is shining wonderful light from the word of God. They have been given a work of the most solemn import—the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels’ messages. There is no other work of so great importance. They are to allow nothing else to absorb their attention. The most solemn truths ever entrusted to mortals have been given us to proclaim to the world. The proclamation of these truths is to be our work.”

True enough, the three angels’ messages have been part of our preaching for a long time. Yet, how much do we know about them? Can we explain them to other people?

To help us with this, in this episode, Pastor Ted and his wife, Nancy, talk about the importance of prayer and fasting in witnessing.

Prayer helps us understand Bible truth better, grow in faith amid life’s difficulties, and obtain power from the Holy Spirit to become effective witnesses.

But why does it include fasting? We fast because we are in earnest for God’s blessing. It’s not an option. Instead, it’s a given response to our love for Him.

With this, we are advised by the Counsels on Diet and Foods, pp. 188, 189: “Now and onward till the close of time the people of God should be more earnest, more wide-awake, not trusting in their own wisdom, but in the wisdom of their Leader. They should set aside days for fasting and prayer. Entire abstinence from food may not be required, but they should eat sparingly of the most simple food.”

Meanwhile, it’s important to remember that fasting is more than just skipping meals. It’s more on choosing to sacrifice something to pray more intentionally with heart and soul. But it’s not about earning a heavenly reward. Instead, the goal is to remove distractions so we can seek Jesus wholeheartedly.

With this, Pastor Ted invites you to be part of this special day of prayer and fasting. As Matthew 18:19-20 says, “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

Now is the time to share God’s final messages of hope and salvation. There’s no time to delay. Hence, don’t miss the blessings God has in store for you as we come together in fasting and prayer.
