Ernie Knoll and the For My People Ministry
Since the spring of 2005, Ernie Knoll has been receiving dreams from God for His people in fulfillment of Joel 2:28 and Acts 2:17. Pastor Knoll was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for over 50 years until he was disfellowshipped for sharing his dreams. The dreams have covered last day events, heaven, and the new earth. There have been messages of revival and repentance. Pastor Knoll has been shown that the majority of the Seventh-day Adventist leadership no longer stresses the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy or prepares people for last-day events and Christ’s return.
The messages that Pastor Knoll has been instructed to share have been either ignored entirely or rejected as in past generations, especially within the Seventh-day Adventist Church, including the leadership. This is very troubling and is a fulfillment of Revelation 3:17, in the description of Laodicea that is rich and increased with goods and in need of nothing. It is also in direct opposition to the Bible admonition in 1 Thessalonians 5:19-20 which says to “quench not the Spirit” and “despise not prophesying.” Philippians 2:12-13 advises to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” In addition, 2 Timothy 2:15 instructs that we study to show ourselves approved by God rather than trusting our salvation to the opinions of others.
As you read and study these dreams, we urge you to seek earnestly the Holy Spirit’s guidance as promised in John 16:13: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” It is our prayer that you will hear the voice of the Savior speaking to you of His willingness to transform your life and prepare you for His imminent return.
Mission
The mission of For My People Ministry is to share God’s messages through His words and to prepare a people for the imminent return of Christ through repentance, reformation and victory over sin.
Beliefs
Our beliefs are based only on the Holy Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy as exemplified in the writings of Ellen G. White, who was a messenger of the Lord. This is the rule of our faith and practices, given to us by God through the inspiration of His Holy Spirit. We keep the Sabbath, according to the commandment in Exodus 20:8-11, which is Saturday, the seventh day of the week. We also look forward to Christ’s Second Coming. (Matthew 24:30; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 1:7). Additional beliefs are listed below.
“When the doctrine we accept kills sin in the heart, purifies the soul from defilement, bears fruit unto holiness, we may know that it is the truth of God.” Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, p. 146
As the books of the Bible repeat the same doctrines, so today God is bringing His teachings back to our attention through the messages in the dreams of Pastor Knoll.
Please note: Some of the subjects listed below are repeated in the dreams but, for the sake of brevity, have not been included in this document.
