God’s greatest gift isn’t one we earn or deserve—it’s freely given, meant to change everything. Through the Holy Spirit, we receive the personal presence of Jesus and the power to live for Him. In every era of need, God has sent the gift of prophecy to guide, correct, and keep us close to Him, especially now as we face earth’s final days. Don’t leave God’s gift unopened—let the Holy Spirit lead you, point you to Jesus, and fill you with hope for the journey ahead.

Inside Story: A Transformed Mind
Inside Story for Friday 11th of July 2025
By Andrew McChesney
Mitch, a tough gang member, got into a brawl with several other Native Americans in the US state of Washington. He suffered a significant head injury, and doctors said he would never work again.
Then his younger brother, Stephan, invited him to the All Nations Center Adventist Church in Wapato, Washington. Stephan worshiped every Sabbath at the church with their mother and sister.
Mitch didn’t want to go, and he went unwillingly to the church on Sabbath. But then he went again and again. He immersed himself in the Bible, spurred on by the hope that it could heal his mind. He clung to Romans 12:2, which says, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (NKJV). He embraced Philippians 4:8: “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
Church leader Jeff Weijohn encouraged him, saying, “The Word of God promises that it will change your mind if you study it.”
Mitch began to see Bible promises fulfilled. Doctors who had said he would never work again were surprised to see him get a job and keep it.
After Bible studies, Mitch gave his heart to Jesus and joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Then he became a Bible worker and started teaching the Bible to others. He and his wife opened their home to young people who needed a place to stay. Anyone was welcome if they followed the house rules. One rule was that everyone went to church on Sabbath.
The lives of their houseguests also began to change.
One young person joyfully told Jeff on Sabbath, “You know what? When you told us about the Bible, we didn’t want to listen to you at all. But now we want to study the Bible.”
Jeff said the change in Mitch’s life was revolutionary.
“When he accepted God into his life, people didn’t recognize him anymore,” he said. “He came from being a person who was very hard and brain damaged to being a person able to minister. Many young people have been touched by him. God works through us despite ourselves.”
An outreach program to Native Americans in Wapato and the surrounding region of Washington state got its start with the help of a Thirteenth Sabbath Offering in 1990. A highlight of the program is the All Nations Center Adventist Church, pictured, which opened in 2001.

Would God Answer Her Plea?
Diana grew up in an abusive home—watching her parents fight and her mother suffer. The experience left deep scars in her heart, and she vowed to never marry an abuser. She found what she thought was a kind man who promised her love and security, but soon after their wedding, he showed his true colors. Diana quickly realized she was trapped in the same cycle of abuse as her mother. But unlike her mother, Diana decided to fight back. When infidelity was added to her husband’s abuse, she couldn’t take it anymore, and decided to leave her marriage. But the emotional burden she carried was so great that she turned to alcohol. Things spiraled out of control then, until one day, in her despair, she cried out to God, “Please help me! I need to heal but don’t know how!” Would God answer her plea? Was she beyond help? Watch this video to see what happened next, and how God intervened in the most unexpected way. I love to see lives changed for the kingdom of heaven, and I love it when God uses Adventist World Radio to do it!

Friday: Further Thought – The Burning Bush
Daily Lesson for Friday 11th of July 2025
Read Ellen G.White, “Moses,” Pages 251–256, in Patriarchs and Prophets.
The dramatic burning bush call was probably the most transformative experience in Moses’ life. All other high points in his life depended on his positive, obedient response to God’s commissioning him to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt and to the Promised Land.
Sure, we know now how it all turned out. But put yourself in Moses’ place at the time of the burning bush. He had fled from Egypt to save his life. A new generation of Hebrews had come on the scene over the 40 years, many of whom probably knew little about him, or maybe even what they heard about him was wrong, filtered through stories that over time get distorted. _And yet now, he was called by God to lead this same people away from a powerful nation? _No wonder he was reluctant at first!
Yes, it was an extremely demanding task, but imagine what he would have missed if he had given a final no to God. He might have just disappeared into history instead of—through the power of God working in him—literally making history and becoming one of the greatest and most influential people, not just in the Bible but in the world itself.
