A special Christian New Year 2026 Message from Pastor Tzvetan Petkov, General Conference President at the IMS, was published today, on the last day of 2025, on the Facebook site IMS SDA GC: https://www.facebook.com/reel/4144220525891804. In this message, beginning with the motto in Ephesians 4:32, Pastor Tzvetan Petkov underlined that, according to the testimony of the Spirit of Prophecy in Testimonies for the Church, volume 9, that we live in the time of end, as the Lord’s Word in Revelation 7:3, Matthew 24:6 and Luke 21:25, second part, reveals.
In addition, Pastor Tzvetan Petkov emphasized that we, living now still in the time of grace, should improve and apply the talents God entrusted us according to the Lord’s Word in Matthew 25:15 and pray to God to grant us the Holy Spirit, because “if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his (Romans 8:9, last part). Furthermore, Pastor Tzvetan Petkov explained that the events in the world today were signs of the time God foretold in His prophecies in the Bible with the purpose to warn us, to encourage us and let us wake up and serve Him better, receiving more wisdom and a bigger portion of His Spirit, multiplying the talents given and being a blessing, because “the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal” (1 Corinthians 12:7).
