And by the way the four 01:56 of us, I had a man last weekend I was in 02:00 Western Pennsylvania and he said he just 02:03 loved it when the four of us did a program 02:05 together and here we are together, praise the 02:08 Lord, oh because one person liked to 02:10 desperate together. Yeah, one guy. Alright, 02:12 good, good. Well, one is better than none, 02:15 I mean either. I guess I got the letters where 02:18 they weren't so sure of, not really. Not really. 02:21 We do have a great time together and you know 02:23 why because we have something in common. 02:26 Yes. We have Jesus. That's right. Jesus is 02:28 center of our joy, the center of our focus, and 02:31 can we give a sermon today about this one 02:33 thing I know and that's what we know, 02:35 yeah, Jesus said go into all the world. 02:37 Once we accept Him as Lord and savior of our 02:39 life and once we make the commitment to Him. 02:42 We can't help, but go into all the world 02:43 because he wanted to share with everybody. 02:46 We have that in common. We do! So, 02:47 we can work together, we can play, play ball 02:50 together, we can sing together, we can do 02:52 whatever enjoy the company. Yeah. 02:54 And I watch him play ball. I don't play ball 02:57 with him anymore, but my Achilles Tendon 02:59 won't let allow that, but these three do. 03:02 And I enjoy. I've watched them a couple of times, 03:06 but that's where I get my exercise as 03:09 watching these three. It goes like this. 03:12 Yeah, right. I got some good muscles in my 03:15 neck and well listen we are just so happy to be 03:19 here at Camp Meeting and I think we sounded 03:22 very relaxed tonight because we have had 03:24 such a wonderful, spiritual day together. 03:26 And everything started last night, 03:28 we have a wonderful night last night and we 03:31 are looking forward to the Sabbath tomorrow 03:33 and we are in the Sabbath right now, but 03:36 the next 24 hours we are just praying that 03:39 God will do something special in each of our 03:42 hearts and we believe that it will and those of 03:45 you that are watching in television, we believe 03:47 that you are going to receive the very same 03:49 blessing that we are receiving here because 03:51 it all comes from our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. 03:56 Amen. I wonder, pastor Murry could we get you 03:59 to say a special prayer today for all those at home. 04:01 There someone needs, for having needs and 04:04 the Satan is against all of us, but we will just 04:06 boot him out and we let 04:07 the Holy Spirit roll and rain. 04:09 We are going to enjoy this time together with 04:11 our savior.

Amen. 12:57 When you finally make your entrance to that city 13:09 With Jasper walls and bright golden avenues 13:21 As you behold all its beauty and its splendor 13:33 Remember there's just one request I make of you. 13:45 Look for me, for I will be there, too. 13:58 I realize when you arrive there'll be so 14:06 much to view. After you've been there 14:13 ten thousand years, a million, maybe two, 14:21 Look for me, for I will be there, too. 14:40 As you go down your list of firsts, there's no question, 14:52 You'll want to see our loved ones waiting 14:58 you and me; when you feel you've 15:07 shared your story with the last one 15:16 That wants to hear you tell just how you made 15:23 it through, Look for me for I will 15:32 be there too I realize when you 15:45 arrive there will be so much to view 15:53 After you've been there ten thousand years, 15:59 a million, maybe two, Look for me 16:09 for I will be there too.

I just love the music, don't you? 17:50 I really do. We had a really good time last 17:54 night because they did a concert for us that was 17:56 not aired it was just for those of us here at the 17:59 Camp Meeting. But, we taped it and one of these 18:02 days we're gonna air it and we'll let you know 18:05 when we do. One of the most 18:07 exciting things at 3ABN is 3ABN Latino. 18:12 It's just growing leaps and bounds and John 18:16 Dinzey would you come and join me here 18:18 and tell us about some of the most exciting 18:21 things that are happening. Welcome John, glad 18:24 you're back here. Thank you Pastor Gilley. 18:26 Well, it's a pleasure to be here with you, Praise 18:28 in the name of the Lord. Amen. 18:30 I just wanna say thank you to all the 3ABN 18:35 Ministry because 3ABN Latino is a small staff of 18:38 people, and we just praise the Lord for the 18:41 dedicated workers and volunteers of 3ABN 18:43 Latino, but also every department of 3ABN 18:47 English helps 3ABN Latino. So, we want to say a big 18:51 thank you and praise the Lord for our 18:53 production staff that it does an outstanding job. 18:57 Amen. Amen. The call center, we just 19:00 praise the Lord for the call center, 19:03 our publishing department, just praise 19:04 the Lord for every department dedicated 19:06 workers that are here to serve and help us bring 19:09 the Gospel to people all over the world. 19:12 I just want to ask for you to join a campaign 19:17 that began a few months ago. 19:19 See last year, we told you about Channel 45 19:23 in Nicaragua, Managua, Nicaragua, the capital 19:27 and the Lord blessed us with an opportunity to 19:29 enter into the capital and then eventually 19:33 reached the whole country because the 19:34 license allows you to expand and so we made 19:39 this known and the Lord blessed us with 19:42 the finances to put the channel on the air. 19:45 But, there is a problem. There is an official in 19:48 the, equivalent to the FCC that has not yet 19:51 signed a document. So, we launched a few 19:54 people praying for 19:57 Channel 45. And you know we lost count 20:00 how many people have been praying. 20:05 So, we need you to join us and pray also for the 20:07 next 10 days or so, pray at least one time a day 20:11 for Channel 45 in Nicaragua. And we hope to see the 20:16 Lord moved the hand of that person to sign to 20:19 that document because as soon as He signs it 20:21 we have the funds to put the channel on the 20:23 air and I just spoke two days ago to our 20:27 representative there. And He gave me an 20:30 update but before I give you that update I'll give 20:32 you, I'll nerve your update, because I went 20:34 earlier this year about two months ago to 20:37 Nicaragua and I went to that FCC there in 20:40 Nicaragua. And He took me to the 20:44 engineering department, a representative and He 20:46 say; I asked Him how are these going. 20:48 He said oh, you guys have fulfilled every 20:51 technical requirement necessary. 20:54 We're not waiting for anything. 20:55 This for us, you're done. We're just waiting for 20:59 upstairs to get, to sign the document. 21:02 So, we went to see the Vice-President of the 21:04 FCC there and He said oh you guys are just, do 21:08 you everything in order. He says, and I want to 21:10 tell you your representative here has 21:12 done a monumental job trying to get that signature. 21:15 Praise the Lord. Yeah. Do you know what 21:17 He has done? He has talked to the president, 21:19 vthe son of the president of the nation. 21:22 Is that something? Yeah. 21:24 He said hey, we need this signature. 21:27 And He didn't stop there. He talked to the First 21:29 lady of country to say hey, we need this signature. 21:33 And so they have been kind of pulling his tails. 21:36 Yes, I'll get assigned in 30 days He said. 21:39 That was in June. So, we need people to join 21:43 us in prayer. We need this Channel on the air 21:45 because Jesus is coming soon. Amen. 21:47 And we need the people of Nicaragua to hear the 21:49 good news. Amen. Amen. So, join us for the next 21:53 10 days pray for Channel 45 in Nicaragua. 21:57 And I want to tell you that the Lord is doing 21:58 great and mighty things. They are things on the 22:01 horizon that we see, that's kinda get 3ABN 22:05 English, 3ABN Latino anywhere in the world 22:08 anybody can see it at anytime and this is just; 22:11 this, there are things in the works that we 22:14 cannot talk to you about. Well, we know the Lord 22:16 is at work and we're gonna see miracles 22:19 happening, like we've seen before. 22:21 Let me give you an example. Let's start in Mexico. 22:24 There near Monterrey, Mexico we were told 22:27 that the mayor of one of the cities called a local 22:31 conference and say hey I have been watching 22:34 3ABN Latino and that's a good stuff you guys 22:37 have there. I want some more information about 22:40 the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Amen. Amen. 22:44 Let's move over to the U.S. In Texas two 22:46 people walked into church watching 3ABN 22:49 Latino on the Internet and say hey we want to 22:52 be Baptized. Amen. Amen. 22:55 Few months ago I was in California and I'm 22:58 gonna change the name of the pastor because 23:01 I don't have his permission to tell the 23:03 story with his name on it. But, I knew this pastor 23:06 in Chicago who eventually moved to 23:09 California and if He is watching who I'm 23:11 talking about. But, He is retired now and 23:15 I was sharing a story of what god has been 23:17 doing to 3ABN Latino and I was told by them 23:20 that Pastor's brother I'm gonna call Him Pastor 23:23 Luna but He knows who He is his brother 23:28 was an Atheist what that's right. 23:32 Here's a Seventh Day Adventist pastor his 23:34 brother an Atheist. And now Pastor Luna is 23:37 already retirement age and his brother still an 23:40 atheist. How many prayers do you suppose 23:43 were sent up to the throne of grace by that 23:46 pastor for his family? They thought He was 23:48 going to the grave an Atheist. He became sick 23:55 and He started watching television, found 3ABN 23:59 Latino in Honduras. I think it's Honduras, 24:03 and the Lord's touch his heart except the Jesus 24:06 Christ as his personal savior and now he is a 24:08 member of the seventh day Adventist church. 24:10 Amen. Amen. It's amazing what god 24:13 can do. Let's move over to Dominican Republic. 24:18 You remember the 10 commandments 24:20 weekend. Well, during one of the 24:21 10 commandments weekend one of the 24:23 books was given to a, a Sunday keeping pastor. 24:28 He read this thing, He says Wow! This is 24:30 fantastic. I want a book for all the members of 24:34 my congregation. And now I was told just 24:36 about a week ago that you're just 24:40 keeping the Sabbath. That's in Dominican Republic. 24:43 Let's move over to Porto Rico for a 24:45 moment because I'm running out of time. 24:49 Danny Shelton worked with us. 24:50 We had a 3ABN Latino rally in Porto Rico 24:53 amazing things we heard. And then He told 24:57 you about a person a young man named Jose. 25:01 He used to, he was using drugs, abusing 25:03 drugs, marijuana, he started watching 3ABN 25:08 Latino and the Lord changed his life and 25:13 Danny told you about the phone number 25:14 you remember that. His girlfriend saw this 25:17 phone number 3ABN on there and says must 25:20 be a secret code for a girl, erased it. 25:23 And the next day she looked at the phone 25:27 again and there it was again. Huh, the girl 25:30 3ABN is back. Erased it again until finally she 25:34 says hey who is this girl 3ABN? It's a secret 25:38 code isn't it. What's the girl's real name? 25:42 He said no, that's a Christian TV channel. 25:45 And she saw it, at first she said well, that's 25:47 boring. What do you do watching that because 25:50 of his previous lifestyle. But, now she is visiting 25:53 the church taking Bible studies. Amen. 25:56 My wife Idalia was talking to the mother of 25:59 Jose and she said I have been praying 26:03 for years for Him. He is not a Seventh Day 26:06 Adventist, but because what she has seen in 26:09 Him she is now studying to be a 26:10 Seventh Day Adventist. And she said this. 26:13 You know its one thing for people to say in 26:15 public they have changed. But, I can tell you in my 26:20 house I see the real Jose and he is changed. 26:24 Amen. Amen. Amen. She says I see Him 26:27 sometimes on his face praying for up to 30 26:30 minutes. Praise the Lord. This young man is an 26:35 evangelist. He was walking down the street 26:37 saw somebody there and he say hey. 26:40 The guy said you got some change to Jose. 26:43 Jose change. I know what you want that for. 26:46 You want it for some cocaine don't you? 26:48 I used to do that. I'm gonna give you 26:51 something better than cocaine and He talked 26:53 to him about Jesus Christ. And when we went to 26:56 visit in Porto Rico Jose brought that young man in. 27:02 And He is too taking Bible studies. Amen. 27:04 Pray for Jose he says he wants to be an 27:06 Pray for Jose he says he wants to be an 27:07 evangelist. Does He have it in Him? 27:08 Yes, the Lord has put that in Him. Amen. 27:11 Great mighty things are happening and we want 27:13 to tell you that Jesus Christ is coming soon. 27:15 Pray for 3ABN Latino and I want to tell you 27:19 next year we're planning some evangelistic 27:23 campaigns and I believe this is part of that 27:28 scripture that says that the whole earth will be 27:32 lightened up with the glory of god. Amen. 27:35 Please remember us in prayer. God is doing 27:36 great mighty things. I wish we had more 27:38 time but our time is up. 27:41 Well, we can listen all night. Thank you. 27:43 You see why I'm excited about 3ABN 27:46 Latino. It's a wonderful, wonderful Ministry 27:50 that's reaching out around the world and 27:52 just growing so rapidly. We can hardly keep up 27:56 with it. Seems like everyday or two they 27:59 are bringing to us these cable agreements for me 28:02 to sign and over and over again we're seeing 28:06 that 3ABN Latino is moving into new cable outlets. 28:11 You know, one of the things we really enjoy 28:13 about Camp Meeting is the good music, isn't it? 28:15 And we really have been blessed throughout 28:18 this Camp Meeting with good music and tonight 28:21 is certainly no exception. Right now I'm going to 28:24 invite Emily Felts Jones to come and she is 28:27 going to sing for us 'I know who holds 28:30 tomorrow'. Amen. This is an old Southern 28:34 Gospel song written by Ira Stanphill. 28:38 It's written around the depression, a time of 28:41 uncertainty and despair not unlike our world today. 28:45 Is it? Nothing ever changes. But, I don't think it's 28:51 gonna get any better. Do you? 28:52 No. But, one thing we can be certain of 28:57 no matter what happens today we know who 28:59 how holds tomorrow. Amen. 29:08 I don't know about tomorrow, 29:14 I just live from day to day. 29:21 I don't borrow from it's sunshine, 29:27 For it's skies may turn to gray. 29:34 I don't worry about the future, 29:41 For I know what Jesus said, 29:47 So today I'll walk beside Him, 29:54 For He knows what is ahead. 30:01 Many things about tomorrow, 30:07 I don't need to understand; 30:14 For I know Who holds tomorrow, 30:20 And I know Who holds my hand. 30:27 I don't know about tomorrow, 30:33 It may bring me poverty; 30:40 But the One Who feeds the sparrow, 30:47 Is the One Who stands by me. 30:54 And the path that is my portion, 31:00 May be through the flame or flood, 31:07 But His presence goes before me, 31:14 And I'm covered with His blood. 31:21 Many things about tomorrow, 31:26 I don't need to understand; 31:33 For I know Who holds tomorrow, 31:40 And I know Who holds my hand. 31:47 He leadeth me, He leadeth me, 31:53 by his own hand He leadeth me; 32:00 and his faithful follower I will be, 32:06 for by his hand He leadeth me. 32:15 Many things about tomorrow 32:21 I just don't need to understand 32:27 for I know who holds tomorrow 32:34 And I know who holds my hand. 32:47 Amen, aren't you glad tonight? 33:07 I want to introduce the youngest grandchildren; 33:12 this is baby faith, say hi, Thank you. 33:16 Say hi, Hi!

Oh, she doesn't know 42:30 that one. Alright, thanks honey each man 42:33 for themselves. Okay. 42:35 I don't know if you are supposed to talk 42:39 about this on television, but years ago 42:42 we watched this old movie must be in the 70's, 42:45 it was a guy named Robert Mitchum, 42:47 any of you ever seen Robert Mitchum, 42:48 oh come on be honest, some of you know, 42:50 okay lot of yes I see there, its okay 42:53 these was years ago and he raised his sons 42:56 to be, he was a bank robber and raised his 42:58 sons to be bank robbers and so they 43:01 would say but Dad, but he said listen 43:03 whenever we get in trouble I will be there 43:05 with you. You can count on me boys. 43:06 Well, they finally got caught. 43:08 They surrendered by police, they are in a 43:10 van, and dad what are we gonna do. 43:12 He says don't worry about it. 43:14 Look out there you watch that and he 43:16 opens the door and he runs away leaving 43:17 his boys and they say dad, he said each man 43:20 for themselves boys. So, Melody when we were 43:23 growing up something it happens, she would say 43:25 dad and I will say each man for themselves honey, 43:27 but I was just kidding. He has told me that 43:30 over and over. So, she gave it back to me. 43:33 They say what goes wrong comes around. 43:36 About 25 years ago, this November will be 25 years 43:40 since I was impressed build a television station 43:43 that would reach the world with an undiluted 43:45 Three Angles messages, one would counteract 43:48 the counter-fit. I have no idea back then 43:51 where this thing would go. Kenny, 43:53 my brother is here, he had no idea, we 43:54 had no idea where it would go. 43:56 We had no money, no property, and 43:57 no equipment. We really didn't have anything except 44:00 a dream and that's why I say you know 44:02 we can't live without hope. 44:03 We should be giving hope to each other 44:04 and Jesus is the only way we are gonna get that 44:06 hope by keeping our nose in the Bible, 44:08 continually praying to the Lord, keeping in 44:11 communications with Him, but we didn't have 44:13 anything. So, we went forward and God began to 44:15 bless, but as soon as we started our Ministry, 44:18 some folks that I knew from town was Franklin, 44:22 came to my house one evening and brought a tape. 44:23 They said we got this song and it just reminds 44:26 us of you in the Ministry that you all are working in, 44:30 and just say if you like it and if you like it 44:33 you can just sing it. And I said I will listen to 44:36 the little later, when I heard it, I said you know 44:38 I love this song, but I want to say 44:40 it's called Mending Broken People, but the goal 44:43 has been is for us to be a part of the Ministry 44:46 with God's blessings of course, 44:49 Mending Broken People, but I have to tell you 44:50 something I may not be able to get through this, 44:52 but you all have mended me. 44:56 I have gone through things in my own life, still 44:59 going and I am sure some of you do, 45:01 but thank the Lord for people like you all 45:03 and those of you at home that continue to 45:06 support a Ministry and you continue to go forward 45:10 and because I have been by this Ministry, 45:13 going home watching the Ministers on television, 45:17 watching the programs in 3ABN, 45:19 meeting and knowing and learning to love the 45:22 folks that are involved in sing their heart. 45:24 My heart has been mended. So, tonight 45:26 for all of us, thank you Lord that you are the 45:30 one who mends broken people. 45:46 When I see my brother stumble and all his dreams crumble, 45:56 Let me be there for I, too, fell. 46:06 When I see his heart breaking 46:12 from a wrong turn he's taking, 46:19 Let me be there for I remember well. 46:26 I want to spend my life mending broken people 46:39 I want to spend my life removing pain 46:50 Lord, let my words heal a heart that hurts, 47:00 I want to spend my whole life mending broken people. 47:21 When I see a life that's broken 47:26 Lord give me words that should 47:30 be spoken For I well remember the pain, 47:42 When I see teardrops falling, Lord remind me of my calling 47:54 Help me restore their faith again, don't give up folks 48:02 I want to spend my life mending broken people 48:14 I want to spend my whole life removing pain 48:24 Lord, let my words heal a heart that hurts, 48:35 I want to spend my life mending broken people. 48:47 I want to spend my life mending broken people 49:13 I want to thank the Lord for the opportunity 49:16 of being in Ministry like 3ABN. I can't even 49:19 begin to tell you about the wonderful people 49:21 that God has brought to this Ministry, 49:24 the people that were able to associate with 49:27 the people that are there for you, 49:30 and you need somebody like that around 49:31 you and for those of you watching on television, 49:34 may be you are by yourself, but I want to tell 49:36 you something you are not by yourself. 49:37 Jesus Christ, the Lord all, we just sing about 49:40 a while ago He can be the center of your joy. 49:44 You don't have to worry about all of that 49:46 because you turned it over to Jesus. 49:47 He is your closest friend, your only 49:50 dependable friend, and He will go 49:52 with you to the very end, and I am just so 49:54 thankful tonight and I praise for Three Angles 49:57 Broadcasting Network, but it wouldn't be 49:59 possible, wouldn't be working, 50:01 all the reports and the thousands of people 50:03 that are being reached in giving their lives to Jesus, 50:06 and coming into the Church, couldn't happen without 50:08 each and everyone of you, each and everyone 50:10 of you and so I know this is not, 50:13 we are gonna give Jesus an amen 50:15 tonight, alright, say amen. |
