Good evening AYC. Good day mate.
00:00:16.56\00:00:21.53
Good day. Good
day, good day, good day.
00:00:21.53\00:00:24.20
It is such an honor to
be here in this incredible
00:00:25.86\00:00:31.90
country, I can't
believe Australia. Where did
00:00:31.90\00:00:36.50
you come up with this.
I am going back, flying
00:00:36.50\00:00:41.53
back on Monday back
to Andrew's University,
00:00:41.53\00:00:43.33
where I pastor. But I
am going back on Monday
00:00:43.33\00:00:46.76
and I am telling them,
hey guys, we're doing it
00:00:46.76\00:00:48.70
backwards. You're
suppose to have summer
00:00:48.70\00:00:52.13
in the winter, I never
seen anything like this,
00:00:52.13\00:00:56.23
do you know what
the temperature was,
00:00:56.23\00:00:57.70
1 week ago this last
Sabbath in Johnny's hometown,
00:00:57.70\00:01:01.40
in my hometown, minus
12 degrees centigrade.
00:01:01.40\00:01:06.23
Can you believe
that? We got to figure out
00:01:07.10\00:01:09.96
how you do it and
then we're gonna do it.
00:01:09.96\00:01:11.46
It is a great idea.
I tell you what I think
00:01:12.10\00:01:15.53
this AYC is an incredible
gift of God to your country.
00:01:15.53\00:01:20.86
Amen. Oh! Man, I've been
00:01:20.86\00:01:22.70
down to Melbourne,
Karen and I, by the way
00:01:22.70\00:01:24.50
let me introduce my
girlfriend to you, these
00:01:24.50\00:01:26.43
lights are bright.
I've never seen them
00:01:26.43\00:01:28.23
quite this bright but I
think I can see her sitting
00:01:28.23\00:01:30.63
right over there, I
want you to see, she's been
00:01:30.63\00:01:32.70
my girlfriend and wife
for 37 years, here she is,
00:01:32.70\00:01:35.60
so it's a treat
to have her with me.
00:01:35.60\00:01:38.10
Thank you for
taking two Yankees in like
00:01:39.10\00:01:42.00
this, we are honored to be here.
00:01:42.00\00:01:43.50
But you know what we
just, we just spent the
00:01:45.13\00:01:49.40
weekend in Melbourne
Thursday night through
00:01:49.40\00:01:51.30
Sunday, late afternoon,
I'm telling you, I'm telling
00:01:51.30\00:01:55.30
you the truth, I am the
one getting the blessings.
00:01:55.30\00:01:58.76
When you see people
like, when you see people
00:01:59.13\00:02:02.23
like Lizzie, and
Enoch and Sherilyn, Johnny,
00:02:02.23\00:02:07.73
standing up here,
this is the power of AYC.
00:02:08.30\00:02:11.03
When young adults, I got
3500 young adults alright,
00:02:11.83\00:02:15.06
they are my pair,
they're in my church, 3500 at
00:02:15.06\00:02:17.40
Andrew's University.
But when I see turned
00:02:17.40\00:02:21.36
on for the Lord
Jesus young adults as we
00:02:21.36\00:02:24.23
watch tonight with
these four, I'm thinking
00:02:24.23\00:02:27.30
of myself, Pastor
Gary, you were spot on.
00:02:27.30\00:02:29.76
I am thinking of
myself, it doesn't get any
00:02:30.10\00:02:31.83
better than this.
Because I really do
00:02:31.83\00:02:34.40
believe that God is
raising up a movement,
00:02:34.40\00:02:38.30
I believe we're at the
edge of time, I believe
00:02:38.30\00:02:42.30
Jesus is coming soon. Amen.
00:02:42.30\00:02:44.46
And but before he
comes he is going to
00:02:44.46\00:02:48.56
sweep this planet with a
generation of young adults
00:02:48.56\00:02:52.03
who are set ablaze for
him. So we are so honored
00:02:52.53\00:02:58.03
and humbled to be able to
share this weekend with you.
00:02:58.03\00:03:01.03
I got a prayer warriors
some of them are Aussies
00:03:02.43\00:03:05.60
back at Andrews
University, who are praying for
00:03:06.33\00:03:08.16
these two weekends.
They prayed us right
00:03:08.16\00:03:10.90
through Melbourne,
God did something very
00:03:10.90\00:03:12.43
special in Melbourne
and then I said guys,
00:03:12.43\00:03:14.80
you don't back off
now, you pray all the hard
00:03:15.10\00:03:17.80
because we're going to
Sydney. We're going to Sydney
00:03:17.80\00:03:23.13
and NSW, New South
Wales. Listen, when we, when
00:03:23.13\00:03:30.90
we got out of
Melbourne, we drove over to in a
00:03:30.90\00:03:34.20
Eden, have you
ever heard of Eden.
00:03:34.20\00:03:35.66
Yeah. And Karen and I have
00:03:35.66\00:03:37.56
just spend last
three days driving up the
00:03:37.56\00:03:39.90
beautiful Australian
coast. And I am telling you
00:03:39.90\00:03:43.16
the water is so clear
I know you could read a
00:03:43.16\00:03:46.30
newspaper 30 meters
down. Absolutely clear.
00:03:46.30\00:03:50.16
We sat at a table with
some kids from New Castle,
00:03:51.03\00:03:55.10
it's in Queensland. Yes.
00:03:55.76\00:03:57.20
I guess it gets better
if you keep going to North
00:03:57.20\00:03:59.10
is that true, it
just keeps getting better.
00:03:59.10\00:04:00.33
Yeah. That's what they're
00:04:00.33\00:04:01.50
telling me, okay guys, I
can take your word for stuff.
00:04:01.50\00:04:04.33
I just can't know this.
But in this beautiful land
00:04:04.93\00:04:09.53
where the Holy
Spirit is moving, we've got
00:04:09.73\00:04:11.60
prayer cover, we've
got prayer cover back at
00:04:11.60\00:04:14.80
Andrews University
and a young adult named
00:04:14.80\00:04:17.20
Sandy and her prayer
team are praying, so we
00:04:17.20\00:04:20.40
can move into tonight
teachings with confidence
00:04:20.40\00:04:24.13
in the Holy
Spirit. Now listen, before
00:04:24.13\00:04:26.70
I pray with you. I
want to put something
00:04:26.70\00:04:29.10
on the screen for
you. I want to show you why
00:04:29.10\00:04:31.70
I believe we're
living at the end of time.
00:04:31.70\00:04:33.70
I am not gonna parse
the newspapers, I saw the,
00:04:33.70\00:04:36.60
I saw the, what's the name
of the paper here in the Sydney,
00:04:37.13\00:04:41.23
Telegraph, Daily
Telegraph, saw that one too.
00:04:41.23\00:04:45.80
Saw the paper in the
Sydney, read the paper
00:04:46.66\00:04:48.60
in the Melbourne, I am
not gonna parse any headlines
00:04:48.60\00:04:50.40
forget that. See that
website on your screen, its not
00:04:50.40\00:04:54.00
on the study guides, you
better write this one down
00:04:54.00\00:04:55.56
if you ever wanna check
it out and say, hey is this
00:04:55.56\00:04:57.00
Dwight guy really
telling the truth.
00:04:57.00\00:04:58.43
Yeah. ChrisMartenson.com,
00:04:58.43\00:05:00.80
a friend of mine is a
physician in California,
00:05:00.80\00:05:03.16
he came back to
Andrews University
00:05:04.00\00:05:05.50
this last summer, which
would be winter for you,
00:05:05.50\00:05:07.63
in July and I said hey
friend, 'cause we roomed across
00:05:07.63\00:05:11.43
the hall from each other
in college, I said hey friend,
00:05:11.43\00:05:13.10
what you've been reading
lately, he said, Oh Dwight,
00:05:13.10\00:05:15.03
you go to check
out ChrisMartenson.com.
00:05:15.03\00:05:17.06
So I went to ChrisMartenson.com,
00:05:17.70\00:05:20.30
checked it out.
And I am telling you
00:05:20.30\00:05:22.40
what, forget the
headlines, let me give you only
00:05:22.40\00:05:25.66
one illustration
from ChrisMarinson.com.
00:05:25.66\00:05:28.00
Then I'm gonna have
prayer we're plunging
00:05:28.00\00:05:29.23
into tonight's
teachings, alright.
00:05:29.23\00:05:30.46
One illustration here it
is. By the way if you go to
00:05:30.70\00:05:34.80
ChrisMartenson.com,
you gonna look up in
00:05:34.80\00:05:36.36
the upper right hand
corner and it'll say crash
00:05:36.36\00:05:39.30
course, short
course, they're a bunch of
00:05:39.30\00:05:41.50
YouTube
presentations, you want to watch
00:05:41.50\00:05:43.00
those, it's all PowerPoint,
you'll never see his face
00:05:43.00\00:05:44.83
but you'll hear his
voice. Okay, so he did this and
00:05:44.83\00:05:48.20
I'm gonna now pass it onto you.
00:05:48.20\00:05:49.50
Why I don't need a
headline to know that
00:05:49.73\00:05:51.33
Jesus is coming soon, don't
have any headline to bring.
00:05:51.33\00:05:54.10
Watch this, you see that
sports park on the screen,
00:05:54.40\00:05:58.63
that is the sport
that you do not know.
00:06:00.60\00:06:02.70
No, that's not
Aussie football, that's
00:06:04.63\00:06:07.83
American baseball.
Now you play baseball
00:06:07.83\00:06:10.00
here don't you, you just
call it cricket, but it's
00:06:10.00\00:06:11.73
still baseball isn't
it. Yeah I know, I know
00:06:11.73\00:06:15.30
the West Indians were
here, I know that the Aussies
00:06:15.30\00:06:18.10
took them to the
cleaners, I saw that little
00:06:18.10\00:06:20.20
bit of the News.
Alright so this is a
00:06:20.20\00:06:23.40
baseball stadium, let me
get my little laser going
00:06:23.40\00:06:27.06
here, because I wanna
show you for the sake of this
00:06:27.06\00:06:30.73
illustration, Chris
Martenson I wanna show you, I am
00:06:30.73\00:06:35.63
gonna take you.
Okay, I'm gonna take you
00:06:35.63\00:06:37.66
and I'm gonna handcuff
you. Alright. Here is where I'm
00:06:37.66\00:06:39.50
gonna handcuff you, I
am gonna handcuff you,
00:06:39.50\00:06:41.20
this would be, can you see
this little section up here,
00:06:41.20\00:06:43.53
this will be the nose
bleed section, I mean this is
00:06:43.53\00:06:45.26
really high, this is the
plain field here, this is.
00:06:45.26\00:06:47.66
I am gonna handcuff
you to one of the little
00:06:47.66\00:06:50.20
chairs, those
are your handcuffs.
00:06:50.20\00:06:52.33
Now, what I'm gonna
do is I am gonna leave
00:06:53.36\00:06:55.13
you up there and I am
gonna walk all the way
00:06:55.13\00:06:57.33
down here to the pictures
man, you see that little, that
00:06:57.33\00:07:01.83
little mount of paper,
that's the pictures man.
00:07:01.83\00:07:06.56
Okay. And I have in my
hand a magic eye dropper,
00:07:07.23\00:07:13.30
okay. The reason its
magic you watch, 12 O'clock noon
00:07:13.60\00:07:18.13
is when I handcuff
you, no, no 12'O' clock noon
00:07:18.13\00:07:20.36
is when I release
the first drop of water,
00:07:20.36\00:07:22.30
you are up there at the
top, I release a drop of water.
00:07:22.80\00:07:25.60
Now the reason this
is a magic eye dropper is
00:07:25.60\00:07:27.66
because every 60 seconds
that single drop of water
00:07:27.66\00:07:31.20
will double in size.
So that after 60 seconds
00:07:31.20\00:07:35.13
instead of 1 drop how
many do I have I have two.
00:07:35.13\00:07:37.53
So after two
minutes instead of two drops
00:07:37.76\00:07:39.76
how many do I have, I
have four and then I have eight
00:07:39.76\00:07:42.33
and so on and so on.
Okay, here is the question
00:07:42.33\00:07:44.10
Chris Martenson
asked this, this made a
00:07:44.10\00:07:45.90
believer out of me.
He said alright guys,
00:07:45.90\00:07:48.10
if I drop the first drop
at 12 noon, how much time
00:07:49.03\00:07:53.46
do you have to extricate
yourself from that, from
00:07:53.90\00:07:57.40
those handcuffs and get
out of there before you drown.
00:07:57.40\00:07:59.23
Because for the sake of
illustration, we need to
00:07:59.46\00:08:01.43
also assume that
this is water tight.
00:08:01.43\00:08:03.70
Alright, so you can
fill it with a tap of water.
00:08:03.70\00:08:05.33
Alright. How much time
do you have? You tell me,
00:08:05.33\00:08:09.36
how much do you think,
let me tell you this at 12:44,
00:08:12.16\00:08:15.86
okay 44 minutes later at
12:44, kind of because I got
00:08:16.36\00:08:20.00
the flowers here, it's
a little hard to do this.
00:08:20.00\00:08:21.53
But at 12:44, there
will be, there will be 5 feet
00:08:21.53\00:08:25.83
of water on the plain
field. Alright 5 feet of water.
00:08:25.83\00:08:29.56
93% of the stadium is
still empty no water, 12:44,
00:08:30.00\00:08:35.63
now how much time do you
have? Hold on to your seat,
00:08:35.96\00:08:39.26
because the answer is
in 5 minutes and by 12:49,
00:08:39.86\00:08:44.93
the entire stadium will
be full of water to the roof.
00:08:44.93\00:08:50.13
You have 5 minutes, for
44 minutes and only 5 feet
00:08:51.03\00:08:56.56
of water, 93% empty.
In the last 5 minutes
00:08:56.56\00:08:59.80
boom the whole thing
fills. What's happening here,
00:08:59.80\00:09:02.96
watch this. He
quotes a philosopher named
00:09:02.96\00:09:05.36
Albert Bartlett. The greatest
short coming, you see it
00:09:05.70\00:09:08.50
on the screen. "The
greatest short coming
00:09:08.50\00:09:09.83
of the human race is our
inability to understand the
00:09:09.83\00:09:13.30
exponential function."
It's the power of compounding,
00:09:13.30\00:09:18.36
put a little money in the
bank, isn't that right, put
00:09:18.56\00:09:20.16
a little money in the
bank, not these days, but put a
00:09:20.16\00:09:21.76
little money in the bank
you know it kind of keeps
00:09:21.76\00:09:23.16
it compound expose to right,
compound boom, boom, boom.
00:09:23.16\00:09:26.33
Geometric, remember
this from math days,
00:09:26.33\00:09:29.43
geometric progression.
Chris Martenson said,
00:09:29.43\00:09:34.00
says, that's what happening
to the planet watch this.
00:09:34.83\00:09:37.56
Human population beginning
of time, whenever that is,
00:09:38.10\00:09:41.00
he says whenever
that is, alright.
00:09:42.00\00:09:43.60
There it goes the
graph. There is the graph.
00:09:44.06\00:09:45.40
There is the
graph. There is the graph.
00:09:45.40\00:09:46.60
1900s,1980s, 1990s,
2000, 2005, 2007, he calls
00:09:47.16\00:09:53.10
it the hockey stick graph,
you know what a hockey stick
00:09:53.10\00:09:54.93
looks like though.
So it's shaped like a
00:09:54.93\00:09:56.73
hockey stick, it's
just down low and nothing
00:09:56.73\00:09:59.06
happening, nothing
happening, and all of a sudden,
00:09:59.06\00:10:00.46
watch another one, he says
let's talk about, lets talk
00:10:01.53\00:10:04.00
about the economy indebtedness.
00:10:04.00\00:10:06.13
Global debt, beginning
of time nothing, nothing,
00:10:06.53\00:10:09.73
nothing, nothing, nothing,
1800, 1900, 1990, 2000, 2005,
00:10:09.73\00:10:14.50
2007, Australia and
the United States and the
00:10:14.50\00:10:17.46
western world, China the
east, straight up, says let's
00:10:17.46\00:10:24.00
talk about oil depletion.
How much oil is the planet
00:10:24.00\00:10:26.80
using, nothing, nothing,
nothing, nothing, nothing,
00:10:26.80\00:10:28.90
here in the, at the
end of the 2007, 2008, 2009
00:10:28.90\00:10:34.56
hockey stick
again. You know what, when
00:10:34.56\00:10:37.76
I got through, when I
got through this study on
00:10:37.76\00:10:42.50
ChrisMartenson.com I
said to myself wait a minute,
00:10:42.50\00:10:44.53
I went and got Karen, I
said Karen, if there were sign,
00:10:44.83\00:10:48.00
if no prophecy were
left to be fulfilled.
00:10:48.76\00:10:51.36
If the planet only had
itself we would run out of time.
00:10:51.36\00:10:55.00
The last 5 minutes, suddenly,
when you think you have
00:10:57.30\00:11:00.90
all the time in the
world, in 5 minutes it's over.
00:11:00.90\00:11:03.70
That's my point guys.
In five minutes its over,
00:11:04.66\00:11:07.93
he said well I don't
think, I don't feel like here in
00:11:09.53\00:11:11.73
Sydney that
Jesus is coming soon.
00:11:11.73\00:11:13.03
Forget how do you feel,
in 5 minutes it can all end.
00:11:13.03\00:11:16.00
That's my point, watch
this, I saw some words that I
00:11:16.93\00:11:20.96
found in Ellen White,
but there weren't from
00:11:20.96\00:11:22.33
Ellen White, watch this,
Horace Brock PhD, economy,
00:11:22.33\00:11:26.63
look at this, "All in
all, we have witnessed problems
00:11:26.63\00:11:29.63
that originated within
the United States give rise
00:11:29.63\00:11:31.83
as truths, the problem
we started it, I apologize,
00:11:31.83\00:11:34.90
we've witnessed problems
that originated within the
00:11:35.66\00:11:37.63
United States give rise
to global scenarios that were
00:11:37.63\00:11:39.73
virtually unthinkable as,
I can't see that next word
00:11:39.73\00:11:43.20
because it's blackening,
what's the next word,
00:11:43.20\00:11:44.46
as recently as the summer
of 2008, and do so, well what
00:11:45.36\00:11:49.43
are the last two
words, binding speed."
00:11:49.43\00:11:52.10
A hundred years ago, a
little lady wrote these words
00:11:52.10\00:11:55.30
"great changes just before
the end of time are to take
00:11:55.30\00:11:58.00
place in our world,
and the final movements,
00:11:58.00\00:11:59.66
what are those last
two words blinding speed,
00:11:59.66\00:12:02.53
no rapid ones. "
One more line, The
00:12:02.53\00:12:04.66
Great Controversy.
"The end will come more
00:12:04.66\00:12:06.30
quickly than we expect."
Guys, guess what, we're the
00:12:06.30\00:12:11.70
prime time generation,
you are the prime time
00:12:11.70\00:12:15.60
generation. For these four
sessions that you and I have
00:12:15.60\00:12:18.80
together, that's
our theme prime time,
00:12:18.80\00:12:21.10
prime time, prime
time. You right. So when hear
00:12:21.10\00:12:25.93
stories like these,
we're gonna hear more of these
00:12:25.93\00:12:27.86
all the way through
the weekend, trust me,
00:12:27.86\00:12:29.33
when I hear stories like
this, I am saying Pastor Gary
00:12:29.80\00:12:32.83
you nailed it. I
am saying, God is
00:12:32.83\00:12:35.26
raising up a prime
time generation, the last
00:12:35.26\00:12:39.00
generation potentially,
doesn't set any days, the
00:12:39.00\00:12:43.36
last generation potentially
if you will seize this
00:12:43.36\00:12:46.66
movement and give it
everything you have for
00:12:46.66\00:12:48.80
the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
00:12:48.80\00:12:50.63
Man, that's why I am
so excited about you,
00:12:50.63\00:12:52.23
I am so proud of you.
Alright, lets pray, I promised
00:12:52.23\00:12:54.70
to pray and then we'll
plunge into tonight's teaching.
00:12:54.70\00:12:57.43
Dear God, in this hot
place, here we are just
00:13:02.86\00:13:09.30
thinking about
this warms our spirits.
00:13:09.30\00:13:12.40
So what's it mean,
prime time, you could,
00:13:14.00\00:13:18.43
you could rapid up in 5 minutes.
00:13:18.43\00:13:22.46
Dear God, if there ever
were a generation poised
00:13:25.33\00:13:29.76
by heaven itself to
alert this planet to it's soon
00:13:30.46\00:13:34.06
coming king, this
is the generation.
00:13:34.06\00:13:35.90
If there ever were young
and ready to be mobilized,
00:13:36.10\00:13:39.60
here they are Father,
take them right here in Sydney.
00:13:39.60\00:13:42.83
Make this an
unconventional weekend, don't
00:13:43.46\00:13:48.50
limit it by our faith.
Unleash it by your Spirit.
00:13:48.50\00:13:53.16
We pray in Jesus name.
Amen. What is in that prayer,
00:13:53.66\00:13:58.50
while we were praying
together, all of a sudden
00:14:01.43\00:14:04.30
its sounded like
in around the house.
00:14:04.30\00:14:06.66
The ushers here have run
around the run house, this
00:14:06.66\00:14:09.70
really is a
round house isn't it.
00:14:09.70\00:14:10.76
Run around the round
house and pull, pull, pull,
00:14:11.36\00:14:13.70
pull, pull,
opened all the doors.
00:14:13.70\00:14:15.40
What if we heard it,
while we were kneeling
00:14:15.70\00:14:18.00
in prayer, we heard it,
just this low decibel moan,
00:14:18.00\00:14:23.00
groan, something way in off
in the distance, moan, groan,
00:14:23.43\00:14:29.33
but then it gets crushed
under it, its getting louder.
00:14:29.33\00:14:31.90
We're still, our eyes
are closed, we're in prayer,
00:14:32.43\00:14:36.10
but it seems like that noise,
where ever it is, somewhere
00:14:36.10\00:14:38.40
outside is approach
the round house and then we
00:14:38.40\00:14:43.60
hear it and by the way
where I come from in the
00:14:43.60\00:14:45.36
Middle West of the
United States, Michigan,
00:14:45.36\00:14:47.00
called the midwest where
I come from, we are trained
00:14:47.56\00:14:50.93
to listen for the sound
of a freight train and if you
00:14:50.93\00:14:55.26
don't live near train
tracks and you hear a freight,
00:14:55.26\00:14:58.33
you know what I mean by
a freight train, you hear a
00:14:58.33\00:15:00.40
freight train, that
is nature's way of saying
00:15:00.40\00:15:03.90
hold on, because a tornado
is approaching your village.
00:15:04.20\00:15:09.36
You know what a tornado,
you don't have tornadoes
00:15:09.73\00:15:10.90
here do you, you have
them here, come on these
00:15:10.90\00:15:12.70
winds will go around
like this, suck up everything,
00:15:12.70\00:15:14.30
'yeah tornadoes, they
sound like freight trains.
00:15:14.86\00:15:16.86
So you and I are in
prayer, our eyes are closed, and
00:15:16.86\00:15:19.06
we hear this moan and
groaning and suddenly it is
00:15:19.06\00:15:21.26
an exploding sound and before
we can even our eyes it's as
00:15:21.50\00:15:25.40
if all the fury of a cyclone
has entered the round house,
00:15:25.40\00:15:30.10
where we are in prayer.
We suddenly opened our eyes,
00:15:30.10\00:15:33.50
we're hearing this
gale force shriek of a wind.
00:15:34.16\00:15:36.83
And we look up, we look
up the curtains are perfectly
00:15:37.03\00:15:40.66
stationary, no movement,
the wires aren't moving,
00:15:40.66\00:15:44.23
it's just the roar of a
wind. Wide eyed, we look at
00:15:44.23\00:15:50.26
each other, what's happening
and then we all see it,
00:15:50.26\00:15:53.33
simultaneously we see
it, hovering half way between
00:15:53.60\00:15:57.10
that skylight and the
floor, right about up here, a
00:15:57.10\00:16:01.13
Royally Broyally orange
ball of fire, just suspended.
00:16:01.53\00:16:09.86
Hollywood couldn't do it,
suspended in mid air, just
00:16:10.16\00:16:13.60
twisting and turning,
fire. You've ever seen a steel
00:16:13.60\00:16:17.56
factory, you know they
have these big, big cauldrons
00:16:17.56\00:16:20.83
that they pour the
molten steel, you've seen
00:16:20.83\00:16:22.43
molten steel haven't you,
like liquid, orange liquid,
00:16:22.43\00:16:24.56
so it's this orange liquid
boiling but contained with
00:16:24.90\00:16:30.13
no container and then an
invisible hand, while we're
00:16:30.13\00:16:32.76
watching, an visible hand
out of nowhere reaches up and as
00:16:32.76\00:16:36.40
if it had a pairing knife.
A little knife in it's hand,
00:16:36.40\00:16:39.83
peels off a slice of orange,
and that orange darts across
00:16:41.33\00:16:45.76
him, the hand goes
again, and by the time that
00:16:45.76\00:16:50.93
invisible hand is through,
every bowed head, in this
00:16:50.93\00:16:54.83
round house auditorium
has dancing fire atop it.
00:16:54.83\00:16:59.96
Pentecost, Pentecost,
can you imagine what it
00:17:01.53\00:17:07.43
would have been like
to be in the upper room,
00:17:07.43\00:17:10.53
hallelujah at
Pentecost. Can Pentecost happen,
00:17:10.53\00:17:15.00
I have two freshmen,
Uni students, we call them
00:17:16.16\00:17:18.13
university, but you call
them Uni, so we'll do Uni,
00:17:18.13\00:17:20.03
two freshmen Uni
students, now a freshman means
00:17:20.56\00:17:24.16
first year, is that what
you call them here, first year.
00:17:24.16\00:17:26.03
Yeah, that's
probably just as easy.
00:17:26.56\00:17:28.13
I had two first year
students, sitting in my office,
00:17:29.40\00:17:31.76
my little office in
the pioneer model church
00:17:31.76\00:17:33.86
right in the middle
of Andrews University.
00:17:33.86\00:17:35.50
And they say hey
Pastor, both of us new students
00:17:36.20\00:17:38.66
here at the Uni, we're
burdened, we have a passion,
00:17:38.66\00:17:41.86
we believe its time for the
Holy Spirit to be poured out.
00:17:42.36\00:17:44.40
I said Amen. Halleluiah.
Yeah we believe its time
00:17:44.40\00:17:48.40
that Pentecost come.
Wow! What should I say
00:17:48.70\00:17:53.36
to those boys, 19, 20 years old,
00:17:53.36\00:17:56.20
what should I say to
them, hey guys time out, wow,
00:17:56.20\00:17:58.60
lets not get too ambitious
here, is that what I am gonna
00:17:59.00\00:18:01.76
say to them, wrong generation
guys, wrong time in history,
00:18:01.76\00:18:05.50
wrong place, would there
be anything wrong with the
00:18:06.13\00:18:09.13
Holy Spirit pouring out
himself in Pentecost, would
00:18:09.13\00:18:11.70
there be anything wrong with it.
00:18:11.70\00:18:12.96
Not on your life, we need
Pentecost again, relinquish
00:18:13.53\00:18:18.16
for Pentecost again. I
believe the faint stirrings
00:18:18.16\00:18:22.70
of the Holy Spirit
are felt in the AYC
00:18:22.70\00:18:25.96
movement across Australia.
The Spirit is holding this
00:18:25.96\00:18:31.80
generation in his hand.
Ready for the final outpouring.
00:18:31.80\00:18:36.43
Open your Bible with
me, is there enough light in
00:18:36.90\00:18:38.53
here for you to read.
The goodness is I got the
00:18:38.53\00:18:40.90
words on the screen
too, but open your Bible,
00:18:40.90\00:18:42.60
because I don't like us to
think well we're just getting
00:18:42.60\00:18:44.80
together and putting
everything on the screen,
00:18:44.80\00:18:46.10
open your Bible to the
1st Pentecost, Acts chapter 2,
00:18:46.10\00:18:48.56
Acts chapter 2, man its warm
in here, would you be offended
00:18:49.60\00:18:55.36
if I took this off. I
know it bothers Aussies,
00:18:55.36\00:18:58.16
but do you mind. Are you sure?
00:18:58.16\00:19:00.33
Alright. I got so many,
I got so many power packs
00:19:00.33\00:19:05.16
on me I am afraid that they're
gonna hit the wrong switch
00:19:05.16\00:19:07.06
and then I am going to go
Pshew! I got three of them,
00:19:07.06\00:19:10.36
so don't be
distracted by these. I am trying
00:19:11.86\00:19:14.00
not to be. Acts chapter
2, lets go, take a look at
00:19:14.00\00:19:18.30
Pentecost again, I'll put
it on screen for you, let's go
00:19:18.30\00:19:20.33
Acts chapter 2 verse 1,
"When the day of Pentecost
00:19:20.33\00:19:22.93
came, they were all
together in one place."
00:19:22.93\00:19:26.20
I love conferences
like this gets together,
00:19:27.16\00:19:29.90
it's good to be out in
Western Australia, in Perth,
00:19:30.80\00:19:33.16
its good be up in
Cannes, where you're gonna have
00:19:33.80\00:19:35.26
one of these. Its good
to be down in Victoria or
00:19:35.26\00:19:39.30
New South Wales.
But, when we come together
00:19:39.30\00:19:41.90
there is something special,
God's going to do something
00:19:42.26\00:19:44.16
special this weekend.
So they are all together
00:19:44.16\00:19:46.06
at one place. Suddenly,
that description I just gave
00:19:46.06\00:19:49.03
you, that kind of eye witness
description is based on the
00:19:49.03\00:19:51.23
original language of
Greek. Suddenly a sound like the
00:19:51.23\00:19:54.36
blowing of a violent
wind, notice its not a wind,
00:19:54.36\00:19:56.90
its only the sound of a
wind. Suddenly a sound like the
00:19:57.16\00:20:01.50
blowing of a violent wind
came from heaven and filled
00:20:01.50\00:20:03.43
the whole house where
they are what, sitting.
00:20:03.43\00:20:07.13
They saw, see after
that sound exploding to
00:20:07.13\00:20:12.16
the upper room.
They saw what seemed
00:20:12.16\00:20:13.76
to be tongues of fire
that separated, so when they
00:20:13.76\00:20:16.40
started those tongues
of fire and the Greek, they
00:20:16.40\00:20:18.26
started in the central
common place and then separately
00:20:18.26\00:20:20.66
like a hands cut in them.
Tongues of fire that separated
00:20:20.66\00:20:25.30
and then came to rest on
each of them and all of them.
00:20:25.30\00:20:28.90
Let's read this out loud
together, and all of them
00:20:29.16\00:20:31.30
were filled with the
Holy Spirit and began to
00:20:31.30\00:20:34.23
speak in other tongues
as the Spirit enabled them.
00:20:34.23\00:20:36.86
Is this ecstatic language,
utterances that no man can
00:20:36.86\00:20:39.70
understand on
earth, no, no, no, we know
00:20:39.70\00:20:43.16
from the very next
verse. This isn't just some
00:20:43.16\00:20:45.26
unintelligible language,
people understood them.
00:20:45.26\00:20:47.90
Now they were staying
in Jerusalem, God fearing
00:20:48.20\00:20:50.30
Jews from every
nation under heaven.
00:20:50.30\00:20:51.90
All empires come and this
is, this is Pentecost, this
00:20:51.90\00:20:55.13
is a Jewish
celebration Pentecost, they're
00:20:55.13\00:20:57.73
all there in town.
When they, these visitors
00:20:57.73\00:21:01.13
for all over the world,
when they heard this sound,
00:21:01.13\00:21:03.60
a crowd, you can
imagine they ran together in
00:21:03.60\00:21:06.86
bewilderment, because each
one heard their own language
00:21:06.86\00:21:09.56
being spoken. Wait a
minute I can understand that,
00:21:09.56\00:21:12.56
he's speaking Australia.
Utterly amazed, they asked,
00:21:13.76\00:21:19.00
hey, wait a minute, aren't
all these who are speaking
00:21:19.00\00:21:21.96
Galileans, which is code
language for like country
00:21:21.96\00:21:25.53
bumpkins, illiterate, please,
aren't all of these who are
00:21:25.53\00:21:29.20
speaking Galileans.
Then how is it that each
00:21:29.20\00:21:31.83
of us hears them in
our native language?
00:21:31.83\00:21:34.16
I am telling you, why we
come from all points of the
00:21:34.80\00:21:36.60
compass, but when we're
together the Holy Spirit
00:21:36.60\00:21:38.70
can do a miracle and not
only gives us the gift of
00:21:38.70\00:21:41.83
tongues and give
people the gift of hearing.
00:21:41.83\00:21:43.53
Guess what, I saw a
forum 1, 2, 3, 4, tonight four
00:21:45.36\00:21:51.76
people given the
gift of speaking.
00:21:51.76\00:21:53.80
Do you think any of them
grew up and say when I get
00:21:55.00\00:21:57.70
older one day I want to
stand in front of four hundred
00:21:57.70\00:21:59.23
people with some
bright lights and I am gonna
00:21:59.23\00:22:01.00
tell them about Jesus.
Do you think any of them
00:22:01.00\00:22:02.83
wanted to, even dreamed
of doing it, no, why can
00:22:02.83\00:22:06.00
they do it? Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:22:06.00\00:22:09.20
Holy Spirit, they're not
worried about themselves,
00:22:09.20\00:22:12.10
how am I sounding, how am
I coming across, is this a
00:22:12.10\00:22:14.26
great story, is
this a boring story.
00:22:14.26\00:22:15.76
They don't care, Holy Spirit
gives us the gift of speaking
00:22:15.76\00:22:20.70
also gives the gift of hearing.
00:22:20.70\00:22:22.23
How is it that each of
us hears them in our own
00:22:22.23\00:22:23.76
native language? Then
Peter stood up with eleven,
00:22:23.76\00:22:26.30
raised his voice
and addressed the crowd,
00:22:26.30\00:22:29.00
fellow Jews and all of
you who life in Jerusalem,
00:22:29.20\00:22:31.26
let me explain this to
you, listen carefully to what
00:22:31.26\00:22:33.93
I say, these people are
not drunks, some of you are
00:22:33.93\00:22:36.96
saying that no. It's
only nine in the morning!
00:22:36.96\00:22:39.53
What's happening here,
I'll tell you what's happening.
00:22:40.56\00:22:42.43
This is what was
spoken by the prophet
00:22:42.43\00:22:44.43
Joel in the last
days. Oh! I love that.
00:22:44.43\00:22:47.26
Do you know what
Peter inserts those words.
00:22:47.26\00:22:49.20
That's not from
the Old Testament.
00:22:49.20\00:22:50.56
The Old Testament
reads in those days, Peter
00:22:51.10\00:22:54.10
under the inspiration of
the Holy Spirit puts, in the
00:22:54.10\00:22:56.00
last days and you know
why I am grateful he did,
00:22:56.00\00:22:58.20
because that
means you and I can look
00:22:58.20\00:23:00.06
forward to Pentecost 2.
There's been a Pentecost
00:23:00.06\00:23:03.73
2000 years ago, there is
another Pentecost coming.
00:23:03.73\00:23:06.56
In the last days, God
says, I will pour out my Spirit
00:23:07.40\00:23:09.73
on all people. And your sons
and daughters will prophesy,
00:23:09.73\00:23:13.06
your young men will
see visions, your old
00:23:13.06\00:23:15.30
men will dream
dreams. Even on my servants,
00:23:15.30\00:23:18.33
both men and women, I
will pour out my Spirit in
00:23:18.33\00:23:23.10
those days, and
they will prophesy.
00:23:23.10\00:23:26.50
Ladies and gentlemen,
what do you say, we focused
00:23:27.23\00:23:31.30
for a few moments on
the promise of God to bring
00:23:31.30\00:23:35.50
one day Pentecost
2. Take a study guide
00:23:35.50\00:23:39.20
out will you.
Take a study guide out,
00:23:39.20\00:23:40.46
there should have been
a study guide handed to
00:23:40.46\00:23:41.83
you when you came in.
You didn't get a study guide.
00:23:41.83\00:23:44.43
Oh! We got some ushers
who have a lot of work to do.
00:23:45.13\00:23:47.20
Oh my, I hope
there's not just one usher.
00:23:48.73\00:23:50.66
Can we have some help,
hey guys just jump up and
00:23:53.80\00:23:55.66

lady will you, please.
00:23:55.66\00:23:57.70
Oh wait, we got
some coming guys,
00:23:59.56\00:24:00.96
they're a head of it.
Good. Make sure you get a
00:24:01.46\00:24:04.36
study guide, let me put
it on the screen for you.
00:24:04.36\00:24:05.90
You will see this quotation
at the bottom and I wanna
00:24:09.36\00:24:11.16
say that quotation to the
variants, so here's tonight's
00:24:11.16\00:24:14.06
teachings, its prime
time, playing with fire.
00:24:14.06\00:24:15.80
Playing with fire.
Get the study guide,
00:24:16.56\00:24:19.30
because now I am gonna we'll
move into a little teaching
00:24:19.30\00:24:21.86
time, the reason we have study
guides at Andrews University
00:24:21.86\00:24:24.36
in the Pioneer
Memorial church, so that what we
00:24:24.36\00:24:26.26
discover can go on, we
can take it home with us,
00:24:26.26\00:24:29.16
we can brood on it,
we can pray over it.
00:24:29.16\00:24:30.73
If I go too fast and you
don't get a blank that's filled,
00:24:31.36\00:24:33.43
you see that website at
the bottom, its on the top of
00:24:33.43\00:24:35.26
your study
guide. www.pmchurch.tv.
00:24:35.26\00:24:38.60
That's a website for
our, all our teachings at the
00:24:38.96\00:24:41.63
Pioneer Memorial church,
they're all there, you can
00:24:41.63\00:24:44.10
subscribe to the
podcast or the video cast.
00:24:44.10\00:24:46.23
The study guides are
online and the answers
00:24:47.00\00:24:48.93
will be at the bottom.
So if there's a blank that
00:24:48.93\00:24:51.53
we somehow over look
here, don't you worry about it.
00:24:51.53\00:24:53.90
The answers will be at
the bottom, they're online.
00:24:54.73\00:24:57.00
What will Pentecost fire
look like, we got to get a
00:25:02.50\00:25:04.76
handle here on what
Pentecost will actually be like.
00:25:04.76\00:25:08.30
Thank you, ushers you did
a great job, God bless you.
00:25:09.13\00:25:11.30
Everybody got a
study guide, lets go.
00:25:11.30\00:25:13.03
Alright, if you didn't
get a study guide, just
00:25:13.73\00:25:15.20
hold your hand up and the
ushers will look, will see
00:25:15.20\00:25:16.73
it and they'll know what to do.
00:25:16.73\00:25:18.63
Lets take that first,
first blank, fill it in please,
00:25:18.63\00:25:23.70
in your study guide. The
Greek word for Pentecost.
00:25:24.53\00:25:26.90
You've heard of pentagon,
pentagram, how much is Pente?
00:25:26.90\00:25:30.43
Five. The Greek word
for Pentecost, Acts 2:1, is
00:25:31.50\00:25:34.70
Pentecoste or 50th day,
so write in the numbers,
00:25:34.70\00:25:39.06
50th day, for in the
Jewish liturgical calendar.
00:25:39.06\00:25:42.30
If you subtract fifty
days from Pentecost, you go all
00:25:42.66\00:25:46.73
the way back to the Feast of
Unleavened Bread, or Passover.
00:25:46.73\00:25:51.03
Can we get that up
there on the screen for you.
00:25:51.60\00:25:53.06
Get all the way
back, count fifty days from
00:25:53.06\00:25:55.50
Pentecost, go fifty
days backwards, it takes you
00:25:55.50\00:25:57.66
straight to Passover.
That is a huge clue as to
00:25:57.66\00:26:01.20
the meaning of the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
00:26:01.20\00:26:02.70
Keep your pen moving,
lets fill out the next one.
00:26:03.20\00:26:04.93
In other words the
secret to Pentecost is in what
00:26:05.83\00:26:08.83
it follows, it
follows the Passover.
00:26:08.83\00:26:11.36
So fill in the word Passover.
And the secret to the Passover
00:26:11.36\00:26:15.73
is the passion of
God. What's Passover about,
00:26:15.73\00:26:21.20
Passover is about passion.
How do you know that Dwight,
00:26:21.20\00:26:23.40
Calvary is the
supreme manifestation of God's
00:26:24.10\00:26:26.46
passion to save his
lost earth children.
00:26:26.46\00:26:29.10
Calvary happened on
Passover, so the secret to the
00:26:29.40\00:26:33.00
outpouring of the Holy
Spirit, we got to go fifty days
00:26:33.00\00:26:35.40
back we get to Passover,
what happen on Passover,
00:26:35.40\00:26:38.93
in the great economy of
the universe, ah! God himself,
00:26:39.20\00:26:43.86
bless you, thank you very much.
00:26:44.20\00:26:45.60
God himself poured out
his passion to save every
00:26:46.20\00:26:50.26
man and woman and child
who'd every reborn on this
00:26:50.26\00:26:52.43
planet, he poured out his
passion, say it aloud with me,
00:26:52.43\00:26:55.53
"For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only
00:26:55.53\00:26:59.33
begotten son, that whosoever
believeth in him, should
00:26:59.33\00:27:03.10
not perish but
have everlasting life."
00:27:03.10\00:27:05.96
Passion poured out
at Calvary, and Passover
00:27:06.30\00:27:13.50
preceded Pentecost.
So that, thus the key to
00:27:13.50\00:27:17.43
unlock Pentecost is
to go back to Passover
00:27:17.43\00:27:19.66
and what's the secret
of Passover, God's Passion
00:27:19.86\00:27:22.10
to save a lost human
race. You think about it,
00:27:22.10\00:27:25.83
you think about this, way
back here at the beginning
00:27:27.23\00:27:29.40
of time, Adam and Eve
alright. Gates to the Garden of
00:27:29.40\00:27:32.86
Eden closed forever, in
this life. Adam and Eve,
00:27:32.86\00:27:38.76
right here, you think
about it, tell me true or false.
00:27:38.76\00:27:41.93
Every word since that
time, every word of God,
00:27:42.70\00:27:45.43
every act of God,
every intention of God, every
00:27:46.36\00:27:50.63
will of God can be
defined by from that movement
00:27:50.63\00:27:54.96
on, can be defined by
his passion to save the
00:27:54.96\00:27:59.33
lost human race.
Everything God has done,
00:27:59.33\00:28:03.36
everything. True or false. True.
00:28:03.36\00:28:08.20
Ladies and gentlemen, it's true.
00:28:08.50\00:28:09.70
By the way that's why
God can't sleep at night.
00:28:11.40\00:28:12.86
You think God sleeps
at night, you kidding.
00:28:13.40\00:28:15.06
He can't sleep at
night. How could you sleep,
00:28:15.60\00:28:18.46
if they were your
children who had run away from
00:28:18.80\00:28:21.93
the home, name me one
parent who loves his children,
00:28:21.93\00:28:25.43
who sleeps well after
that day, until you hear from
00:28:25.43\00:28:28.33
you children again. Is
there a parent who sleeps
00:28:28.33\00:28:31.10
while her children are gone.
Please, the God of universe
00:28:31.96\00:28:38.00
passion, everything, so
we get to Calvary, passion,
00:28:38.50\00:28:41.76
I would like to summit to
you that every act of God,
00:28:41.76\00:28:44.13
since every will of
God, every intention of God,
00:28:44.13\00:28:46.63
every event under God's
control, everything since
00:28:46.63\00:28:50.40
has had to do with his
passion to save lost people.
00:28:50.93\00:28:53.90
Which means ladies and
gentlemen, AYC plays into the
00:28:53.90\00:29:00.70
hands of a God who
can't sleep at night
00:29:00.70\00:29:04.20
until every child is
at least found and give
00:29:04.60\00:29:09.23
him a choice to
come home, true or false.
00:29:09.23\00:29:12.10
True. It's got to be true.
00:29:12.56\00:29:13.93
Everything, Christmas. I
can still think of nothing
00:29:14.40\00:29:19.46
these days, except I must
save, write that in, I must
00:29:19.46\00:29:23.33
save my children. I
have got to, that's why he
00:29:23.33\00:29:27.20
came the first time, that's
why he is coming the second
00:29:27.20\00:29:31.06
time, that's what Calvary
is all about, I must save
00:29:31.06\00:29:34.76
my children. It's no
wonder, because of that passion
00:29:35.10\00:29:39.86
that Jesus last words to
his disciples, ah! Can you
00:29:40.20\00:29:43.43
believe this,
turn one page back.
00:29:43.43\00:29:44.76
So you're in Acts 2,
turn the page back to Acts 1.
00:29:44.76\00:29:47.43
Isn't this something, I am
talking about the disciples
00:29:48.30\00:29:51.00
have a question for
Jesus, this is just before his
00:29:51.00\00:29:52.80
ascension. They have a
question, I'll tell you
00:29:52.80\00:29:54.40
these disciples were so
Adventist, I am telling you,
00:29:54.40\00:29:56.76
they are Adventist to
the core, they asked Jesus
00:29:56.76\00:29:59.36
a question, watch this.
I see that I left out of
00:29:59.36\00:30:02.40
study guide, before I
get to their great Adventist
00:30:02.40\00:30:04.60
question, I think you
must have to fill this in.
00:30:04.60\00:30:06.50
Pentecost was and is
about more than being
00:30:06.50\00:30:08.36
filled with God's
Spirit, this is a key point.
00:30:08.36\00:30:09.93
I'm glad I'm
reminded, watch this guys,
00:30:11.00\00:30:12.86
Pentecost was and is
about more than being
00:30:12.86\00:30:15.76
filled with God's
Spirit. You know what, you know
00:30:15.76\00:30:18.03
what, we say this, because
some people will come you,
00:30:18.03\00:30:21.23
you'll be out in their
streets, you'll be doing
00:30:21.23\00:30:23.16
door knocking and you
come across a Pentecost
00:30:23.16\00:30:26.03
of Christian and says
hey brother, do you have the
00:30:26.03\00:30:29.40
Holy Spirit, you know
what your answer is if
00:30:29.40\00:30:31.40
anyone asked you do
you have Holy Spirit, what
00:30:31.40\00:30:32.80
your answer, yes.
Well show it to me he
00:30:32.80\00:30:36.30
says, see what he
wants to know do you have
00:30:36.30\00:30:39.80
manifestations that prove
the Holy Spirit is in you.
00:30:39.80\00:30:42.46
And then of course,
you're very quick to remind him
00:30:42.83\00:30:44.30
that more important than
the gifts of the spirit are
00:30:44.30\00:30:46.10
the fruits of the spirit
and you live those without
00:30:46.10\00:30:48.63
publicly displaying
them, you just do them.
00:30:48.63\00:30:51.10
But of course you
know what he's asking for.
00:30:52.30\00:30:53.56
Aah! Pentecost, you see
once we know the Passover
00:30:54.43\00:30:57.06
precedes Pentecost,
Pentecost was and is about
00:30:57.06\00:30:59.33
more than being filled
with God's Spirit, what is
00:30:59.33\00:31:01.60
Pentecost about, it
was and is ultimately about
00:31:01.60\00:31:04.10
the infilling of
God's fiery passion.
00:31:04.10\00:31:06.66
So when you ask, Karen
and I right now are reading,
00:31:07.10\00:31:10.80
are doing 40 days of prayer,
I'll tell you more about it
00:31:10.80\00:31:13.63
tomorrow night.
We're doing 40 days of
00:31:13.63\00:31:15.36
prayer but the whole
book, this little book that
00:31:15.36\00:31:16.96
they were reading
together was 70 of our
00:31:16.96\00:31:18.40
senior leaders back in
Andrews University, it's
00:31:18.40\00:31:20.63
focusing on the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit, hey
00:31:20.63\00:31:22.50
listen guys, when you are
baptized with the Holy Spirit
00:31:22.50\00:31:26.30
here's what comes into
you, you are infilled with God's
00:31:26.30\00:31:29.16
fiery passion for lost
people. That's how you know you
00:31:29.16\00:31:33.26
have the Holy Spirit, if
you have a passion for the lost.
00:31:33.26\00:31:35.70
Now here comes
that Adventist question.
00:31:36.46\00:31:37.73
Acts chapter 1 verse
6. So, when the disciples
00:31:37.73\00:31:40.26
meet with with Jesus
they asked him Lord, this is a
00:31:40.26\00:31:44.63
very Adventist questions,
are you, are you at this
00:31:44.63\00:31:47.73
time going to restore
the Kingdom to Israel.
00:31:47.73\00:31:49.46
Hey Jesus is this the
time when you come, oh!
00:31:49.46\00:31:53.00
There isn't an Adventist
alive who doesn't ask that
00:31:53.00\00:31:54.70
question every now and
then, I wonder if this is it,
00:31:54.70\00:31:56.70
could this be it.
Doesn't your heart beat,
00:31:56.70\00:31:59.16
doesn't your heart
quicken now and then
00:31:59.16\00:32:00.43
with that
thought, could this be it.
00:32:00.43\00:32:02.16
A very Adventist question,
but a very un-Adventist answer.
00:32:03.60\00:32:06.50
When Jesus says, hey
wait a minute, hold, hold it.
00:32:07.60\00:32:09.60
It's not for you to know,
it's none your business guys.
00:32:09.60\00:32:11.70
Don't worry, no worries,
you have work to do first.
00:32:12.53\00:32:18.80
Isn't that something,
it's not for you to know the
00:32:19.13\00:32:20.70
times or dates that the Father
has set by his own authority.
00:32:20.70\00:32:22.93
What do you mean you
have work to do, Ah! He
00:32:23.23\00:32:24.86
takes a breathe and then
he says, but, now this that
00:32:24.86\00:32:28.83
great text, I know
it's marked in the Bible.
00:32:28.83\00:32:30.30
Acts 1 verse 8 But you
will receive power when
00:32:30.30\00:32:34.46
the Holy Spirit comes
on you, and you begin to
00:32:34.46\00:32:40.03
display manifestations,
no,no,no, no when the
00:32:40.03\00:32:42.63
Holy Spirit comes on
you, you will be my witnesses
00:32:42.63\00:32:45.46
in Jerusalem and
Judah and Samaria and to the
00:32:45.46\00:32:48.30
ends of the earth.
Let me show you two
00:32:48.30\00:32:51.70
Greek words here fill it
in, in your study guide please.
00:32:51.70\00:32:55.50
When the dynamite,
because when Jesus says
00:32:55.50\00:32:57.63
you will receive
power when the Holy Spirit
00:32:57.63\00:32:59.13
comes on you, the
Greek word as you know is
00:32:59.13\00:33:01.03
Dunamis, Karen and I,
as we were coming up the
00:33:01.03\00:33:03.90
coast from Victoria
and to New South Wales.
00:33:03.90\00:33:06.56
We're going unto
roads where they've had to
00:33:06.56\00:33:08.53
dynamite part of that
coastal mountain range,
00:33:08.53\00:33:10.83
just blow it open,
what's dynamite do, removes any
00:33:11.40\00:33:15.16
obstacle, opens the
door. When the dynamite power,
00:33:15.16\00:33:18.93
Jesus is telling his
disciples, when the dynamite
00:33:18.93\00:33:20.70
power of the Holy Spirit
comes on you, he will fill
00:33:20.70\00:33:23.66
you with my passion.
That's his point. You'll be
00:33:23.66\00:33:26.40
filled with my passion
and you will be witnesses.
00:33:26.40\00:33:29.00
Now, time out, time
out, watch this, do you know
00:33:29.00\00:33:31.16
that the Greek word for
a witness is Martus, from
00:33:31.16\00:33:34.10
whence comes the
English word, Martyr, because
00:33:34.10\00:33:37.90
what is a martyr, one who
makes the ultimate witness
00:33:37.90\00:33:40.70
even with his death, her death.
00:33:40.70\00:33:43.00
Jesus says, you'll be my
witnesses, by the way you
00:33:43.56\00:33:46.36
live, even the
maybe the way you die.
00:33:46.36\00:33:48.30
You will my witnesses,
one who witnesses through
00:33:48.63\00:33:50.76
life and even to death
you will my witnesses to
00:33:50.76\00:33:53.73
the end of the
earth. Key word, witnesses,
00:33:53.73\00:33:56.96
passion, 14 times in
the Book of Acts, Luke will
00:33:57.30\00:34:00.63
repeat that word
Martus, witnesses, Martyrs, you
00:34:00.63\00:34:04.00
would be my witnesses,
he repeats it again and
00:34:04.00\00:34:07.26
again and again.
Jesus point is inescapable.
00:34:07.26\00:34:12.33
Once my passion, once my
passion becomes your passion,
00:34:12.33\00:34:17.83
you will become my witnesses.
Let my passion come in
00:34:18.76\00:34:22.80
you then I am
gone, boom, he's gone.
00:34:22.80\00:34:24.96
Very next verse, after he
said this, he was taken up
00:34:24.96\00:34:28.13
before their eyes, and a
cloud hid him from their sight.
00:34:28.13\00:34:31.80
They're
watching, disappearing God,
00:34:32.33\00:34:34.60
nothing, they were
looking intently up into
00:34:34.93\00:34:37.53
the sky as he was
going when suddenly two men
00:34:37.53\00:34:39.36
dressed in white
stand, they suddenly see them
00:34:39.36\00:34:42.16
standing beside them.
"Men of Galilee, these
00:34:42.16\00:34:45.06
men said, why do you
stand here looking up into
00:34:45.06\00:34:46.86
the sky, this same
Jesus who has been taken from
00:34:46.86\00:34:49.50
you into heaven will come
back in the same way you have
00:34:49.50\00:34:52.73
seen him go into
heaven. " He's coming back,
00:34:52.73\00:34:55.40
didn't he just tell
you he had something do
00:34:56.06\00:34:57.43
before he gets back?
Oh yes he did. Once you
00:34:57.43\00:34:59.50
back go, back to the
upper room prepare when the
00:34:59.50\00:35:02.60
Holy Spirit comes upon
you, you're gonna become
00:35:02.60\00:35:04.40
my witnesses and
that's exactly what happens.
00:35:04.40\00:35:06.63
Isn't that something, a
reminder, he's coming back.
00:35:09.00\00:35:12.00
This is a written by
William Willimon, in a
00:35:12.30\00:35:14.70
few opening verses
Luke manages to reprove both
00:35:14.70\00:35:17.20
the enthusiasm and the
speculation of uninformed
00:35:17.20\00:35:20.60
apocalypticism, that
means that's all, this
00:35:20.60\00:35:23.23
headline, this is through
probably the end with this
00:35:23.23\00:35:25.10
headline, this
headline ah! Stop, stop, stop.
00:35:25.10\00:35:27.50
Uninformed apocalypticism
apocalypticism on the one
00:35:27.50\00:35:31.20
hand or despair and
stodginess of a church
00:35:31.20\00:35:33.93
without apocalyptic
hope. Can you imagine not
00:35:33.93\00:35:36.00
having the hope
that Jesus is coming
00:35:36.00\00:35:37.46
soon that will be awful.
The angels keep the balance.
00:35:37.46\00:35:41.73
Jesus keeps the balance
and so what do they do, boom.
00:35:41.73\00:35:45.16
Write it down, the same
Jesus is coming back, but
00:35:45.46\00:35:47.43
you can't gaze into
the Heaven forever, and the
00:35:47.43\00:35:49.33
angels say, you have
a work and that work has
00:35:49.33\00:35:52.23
got to begin right now
and they respond to this
00:35:52.23\00:35:55.86
as apostles returned to
Jerusalem from that Hill
00:35:55.86\00:35:57.76
called the Mount of Olives,
just a Sabbath day's walk,
00:35:57.76\00:36:00.06
I've stood on the
Mount of Olives, looked over
00:36:00.26\00:36:01.63
that city, you could
just imagine them, now their
00:36:01.63\00:36:04.10
hearts set ablaze,
when they arrived, they went
00:36:04.10\00:36:06.46
upstairs to the room
where they were staying.
00:36:06.46\00:36:08.30
By the way this is the
room where they had the
00:36:08.30\00:36:09.76
last supper, the Lord's Supper.
00:36:09.76\00:36:11.00
They go up to that
upper room where they were
00:36:11.60\00:36:13.23
staying, now watch
this, they all joined together
00:36:13.23\00:36:16.03
constantly, you see
Jesus says when the Holy Spirit
00:36:16.03\00:36:19.53
comes upon you,
then you receive power.
00:36:19.53\00:36:21.10
So, what would be the object
of your praying constantly.
00:36:21.10\00:36:25.36
They all joined
together constantly in prayer,
00:36:26.20\00:36:27.90
along with the women and
Mary the mother of Jesus.
00:36:27.90\00:36:30.63
Hit the pause button
right there, do you know that
00:36:30.63\00:36:32.63
that's the last place
Mary the mother of Jesus is
00:36:32.63\00:36:35.40
mentioned in all the
Bible. How would you like your
00:36:35.40\00:36:39.20
last point of reference in
history to be the truth that
00:36:39.20\00:36:43.66
you were at a prayer
meeting, isn't that good.
00:36:43.66\00:36:46.96
The mother of Jesus the
last time we hear of her,
00:36:47.23\00:36:49.33
she was at prayer meeting,
she was at a prayer meeting.
00:36:49.73\00:36:52.80
Boy, I don't know, do
they have prayer meeting
00:36:53.70\00:36:56.06
back at the
church where you're from.
00:36:56.06\00:36:57.23
Yeah, better find me at
prayer meeting then Jesus,
00:36:58.30\00:37:01.60
if your mother was at prayer
meeting Jesus, better find
00:37:01.60\00:37:04.43
me at prayer meeting, the
last mention, there she is.
00:37:04.43\00:37:08.10
What's going on, they're
asking, they're asking and
00:37:10.26\00:37:14.90
asking and asking, what
are they asking for, ask
00:37:14.90\00:37:18.36
the apostles, I love
this. Ellen White gives, pull
00:37:18.36\00:37:20.53
back the veil, she says
okay. Here's what they were
00:37:20.53\00:37:22.46
asking for, the
disciples prayed with intense
00:37:22.46\00:37:24.36
earnestness for a
fitness to meet people and in
00:37:24.36\00:37:26.86
their daily conversations
to do what, to speak words
00:37:26.86\00:37:32.20
that would lead what?
Others, is this sinners or
00:37:32.20\00:37:35.40
others, sinners, you see
what the passion is, even
00:37:35.40\00:37:40.50
though its blocked from
my view, sinners are what
00:37:40.50\00:37:44.13
are never
blocked from God's view.
00:37:44.46\00:37:46.03
God is always looking for
another sinner to save, by
00:37:46.80\00:37:50.60
the way is it hard to be
saved or easy to be saved.
00:37:50.60\00:37:52.50
Has God made it tough to
be saved or is God finding
00:37:53.03\00:37:55.30
every excuse in the
book to save every lost human
00:37:55.30\00:37:57.60
being he can find.
What would you do if it
00:37:57.60\00:38:00.70
was your child that
ran away from home, how
00:38:00.70\00:38:02.60
hard would you make
it for your child to come
00:38:02.60\00:38:04.10
back home, how
hard would you make it.
00:38:04.10\00:38:06.33
Tell me the truth,
would you make it as tough as
00:38:06.53\00:38:09.00
nails, you would make
it as easy as possible.
00:38:09.00\00:38:12.60
He will say that door is
wide open, wait a minute,
00:38:13.83\00:38:16.76
didn't Jesus tell a
story about a boy who ran
00:38:16.76\00:38:18.33
away and came home,
that's the heart of the Father.
00:38:18.33\00:38:20.80
That's the heart of the
Father, when you go door
00:38:20.80\00:38:23.60
knocking on Sabbath
afternoon, every man and
00:38:23.60\00:38:26.93
woman and child on the
other side of that door, is
00:38:26.93\00:38:29.10
somebody heaven has
been opened and praying,
00:38:29.10\00:38:31.50
a friend of
theirs, a friend of heavens
00:38:31.50\00:38:34.30
would reach one day.
You're not just meeting
00:38:34.30\00:38:36.93
people, you're meeting
runaway children, all over
00:38:36.93\00:38:40.60
the city of Sydney and
you as a representative of
00:38:40.60\00:38:44.20
the Father are gonna
say, hey someone misses
00:38:44.20\00:38:49.43
you very very much. Are
you open to coming home.
00:38:49.43\00:38:55.16
The survey
doesn't ask it that away.
00:38:56.76\00:38:58.16
Are you open to coming
home, they'd kick you out,
00:38:58.16\00:39:01.03
wouldn't they. But,
that's what you're asking,
00:39:01.03\00:39:03.93
would you, are
you open to come home.
00:39:04.26\00:39:07.03
That's all God
wants. That's all he wants.
00:39:08.73\00:39:11.43
They prayed with
the passion, a passion
00:39:14.20\00:39:17.93
to save lost of
people. So what would happen
00:39:18.46\00:39:22.43
tonight if you and I began
to pray, this is kind of an
00:39:22.43\00:39:28.13
embarrassing question,
that I am gonna ask you
00:39:28.13\00:39:30.50
after this
statement. What would happen if
00:39:30.50\00:39:32.23
you and I begin to pray tonight.
00:39:32.23\00:39:35.10
That God would infill
us with his passion to save
00:39:36.26\00:39:40.90
runaway children.
This is the embarrassing
00:39:41.20\00:39:44.53
question, so I am not
gonna ask you to raise
00:39:44.53\00:39:45.66
your hand and don't
ask me to raise mine.
00:39:45.66\00:39:47.50
When was the last
time you prayed, urged for
00:39:48.80\00:39:54.93
God to fill you with
his passion for lost people.
00:39:54.93\00:39:59.96
You got down in your
dorm room, your apartment
00:40:02.63\00:40:04.16
room, your house, got
down on your knees and
00:40:04.16\00:40:10.00
you said God I have to have
this passion, can I have it.
00:40:10.00\00:40:15.10
I am just going through
my life as if my life is the
00:40:16.00\00:40:17.63
only thing that counts on
this planet, I got to have
00:40:17.63\00:40:19.63
your passion God, would
you please fill me, fill me.
00:40:19.63\00:40:24.33
One thing I know,
because I have listened to
00:40:28.26\00:40:31.23
a lot of sermons, you
cant preach God's passion into
00:40:31.23\00:40:35.10
people, preachers haven't
been able to preach it into me,
00:40:35.10\00:40:38.03
trust me I am not going be
able to preach it into you.
00:40:38.30\00:40:41.00
You can't get a good
book you know just give me a
00:40:42.03\00:40:44.20
book, give me a podcast,
give me some video that's
00:40:44.20\00:40:47.80
been circulating, some DVD,
I got to just watch this DVD,
00:40:47.80\00:40:50.93
it will give it to me, it'll
give it, give it to me DVD,
00:40:50.93\00:40:53.40
give it to me DVD,
there's not a DVD on earth that
00:40:53.40\00:40:56.80
can give you a passion
for lost people, you know why,
00:40:56.80\00:40:59.60
you cant even get
a passion for lost
00:41:00.63\00:41:02.23
people from the Bible.
You can hold that Bible
00:41:02.23\00:41:05.36
up to your head, you can hold
that Bible up to your heart,
00:41:05.36\00:41:07.16
I want the passion,
give me the passion, push it
00:41:07.16\00:41:09.00
through me, push it through
me, it won't give you passion.
00:41:09.00\00:41:11.06
The Bible can do it.
There's only one source
00:41:12.83\00:41:17.20
for the passion and
guess who he is, he is the God
00:41:17.20\00:41:20.33
of this universe.
Oh! Sure he breathes
00:41:20.33\00:41:24.23
through this, but he has
to bring it, because you can
00:41:24.90\00:41:28.43
read the same chapter
till you're blue in the face,
00:41:28.43\00:41:30.53
nothing happens and
when the Holy Spirit, a light
00:41:30.53\00:41:36.73
goes off, there's only
one source in this universe
00:41:36.73\00:41:39.70
ladies and
gentlemen, and that source
00:41:39.70\00:41:42.40
is Almighty God himself.
I beg of you, I beg of you,
00:41:42.40\00:41:47.60
ask me, ask me, hey
how's it going, Luke,
00:41:48.20\00:41:51.90
Luke 11:9, ask and you
will receive, seek and you
00:41:51.90\00:41:57.50
will find, knock and
you will, and by way we're
00:41:57.50\00:42:02.16
the only language on
earth that can do this,
00:42:02.16\00:42:04.46
the language that you
and I speak hallelujah.
00:42:04.46\00:42:07.00
Watch this first letter to
ask, what A, first letter of
00:42:07.00\00:42:14.53
seek, S first letter
of knock K. ask. As if he
00:42:14.53\00:42:25.13
was considered as
soon how we miss it.
00:42:25.13\00:42:27.40
Three times I am
telling you to ask, but now you
00:42:27.40\00:42:29.33
take the first letter of
all three of those commands
00:42:29.33\00:42:31.33
and it still spells ask.
Ask me, if you who are evil,
00:42:31.33\00:42:35.90
Luke 11:13, if you who
are evil know how to give
00:42:35.90\00:42:38.63
good gifts to your children,
how much more will your
00:42:38.63\00:42:41.90
Father in heaven give the Holy
Spirit to those who ask him.
00:42:41.90\00:42:45.93
You know what we got to
begin this conference, we
00:42:47.10\00:42:49.73
got to begin this conference
by ask, we got to ask.
00:42:49.73\00:42:54.33
Because you're the prime
time generation, you're it,
00:42:55.23\00:42:57.70
we've been set up
this whole race has been
00:42:57.70\00:43:00.53
set up because you came
alone, we've been waiting
00:43:00.53\00:43:03.06
for you for a long time,
the baby bloomers haven't
00:43:03.06\00:43:05.70
finished the work in
case you haven't heard.
00:43:05.70\00:43:07.23
Amen. We baby boomers have,
00:43:07.23\00:43:09.80
we baby boomers are
so weighed down with
00:43:10.63\00:43:14.13
everything in this
life. Gods says, I love you
00:43:14.13\00:43:18.93
but I really love them
because I can work with them.
00:43:18.93\00:43:23.33
Don't misunderstand me,
he loves us all the same.
00:43:24.70\00:43:27.40
They did not ask
for a blessing for
00:43:29.73\00:43:31.16
themselves merely.
They were weighted with the
00:43:31.16\00:43:33.70
burden of the divine
passion for the salvation
00:43:33.70\00:43:36.96
for the salvation of
souls. They realized that the
00:43:36.96\00:43:38.86
Gospel was to be
carried to the world,
00:43:38.86\00:43:40.80
and they claimed the
power that Christ had promised.
00:43:40.80\00:43:43.93
Hallelujah. Ladies and
gentlemen, jot it down,
00:43:44.36\00:43:47.83
one last, I think this
is the last one, then I want
00:43:47.83\00:43:49.80
to end with that,
Ellen White quotation.
00:43:49.80\00:43:51.33
The tongues of fire
are proof enough that what
00:43:51.80\00:43:53.76
those ten days of
prayer were seeking was the
00:43:53.76\00:43:55.60
power to be what?
Effective, to be an
00:43:55.60\00:44:02.53
effective witness to
the world, on behalf of the
00:44:02.53\00:44:04.56
Lord Jesus Christ,
to be a witness that's
00:44:04.56\00:44:08.60
what we pray for.
That's why that when
00:44:08.60\00:44:11.96
God answered their prayers
he didn't send them ears,
00:44:11.96\00:44:14.06
he didn't send them
fingers, he didn't them toes, he
00:44:14.26\00:44:17.00
took the tongue and
he made into fire and he
00:44:17.00\00:44:19.43
said you want to speak
for me, I'll give it you.
00:44:19.43\00:44:22.00
Boom, he gave us
the gift we needed.
00:44:22.00\00:44:24.83
What we're asking for
the passion, to talk in
00:44:25.53\00:44:29.70
front of others for you
glory. Only you can make me
00:44:29.70\00:44:34.20
do that God, give
for me your Spirit.
00:44:34.20\00:44:36.80
With such an army, I
love this education page 271,
00:44:38.23\00:44:40.60
you see at the bottom here,
you see this is why I believe
00:44:40.60\00:44:42.90
it's a prime time movement
at the bottom of your study
00:44:42.90\00:44:44.60
Guide, with such an army
as our young rightly trained.
00:44:44.60\00:44:47.36
That's what AYC is all
about, training the young,
00:44:47.36\00:44:49.30
"with such an army
as our young, rightly
00:44:49.30\00:44:50.86
trained, how soon the
message of a crucified,
00:44:50.86\00:44:53.33
risen and soon coming
Savior might be carried
00:44:53.33\00:44:56.20
to the world!" Watch
this how soon might be
00:44:56.20\00:44:59.46
end come, the end
of sorrow and suffering
00:44:59.46\00:45:02.56
and sorrow and sin. In
five minutes the entire
00:45:02.56\00:45:09.66
stadium is filled, in
five minutes that's why
00:45:09.66\00:45:17.23
we're prime time and
that's why you are the
00:45:17.23\00:45:20.80
prime time generation.
God has called you for
00:45:20.80\00:45:25.13
such a time as this. Will
you be filled with the Spirit.
00:45:25.13\00:45:30.76
Real. I say let's ask
right now, lets not do
00:45:31.63\00:45:35.20
another thing, just go
to your knees, I'm gonna
00:45:35.20\00:45:36.50
come down there and join
you, just go to our knees,
00:45:36.50\00:45:38.43
lets just ask Jesus, Jesus
Pentecost 2 and if we don't
00:45:38.63\00:45:42.96
have Pentecost 2
that's okay Jesus I want the
00:45:42.96\00:45:45.13
filling with the Holy
Spirit right now, I can wait,
00:45:45.13\00:45:46.80
if you want to wait for
Pentecost 2, I'll wait Jesus,
00:45:46.80\00:45:49.00
but I am going on my knees
now push the chairs around,
00:45:49.20\00:45:51.10
push the chairs
around, so we get minimum of
00:45:51.10\00:45:53.13
three people, minimum
of three, because some
00:45:53.13\00:45:54.90
of you came with a
spouses or a girlfriend, I want
00:45:54.90\00:45:56.76
somebody else in that
group. So, make the group more
00:45:56.76\00:45:58.83
than just the two of
you, minimum of three, don't
00:45:58.83\00:46:01.56
pray to yourself
minimum, move the chairs, move
00:46:01.56\00:46:04.46
the chairs, make the room,
we're gonna pray and for the
00:46:04.46\00:46:07.56
next few moments
you're gonna hear the
00:46:07.56\00:46:08.96
sound of prayers
ascending to heaven
00:46:08.96\00:46:11.73
with one passion and
that is dear God, fill me
00:46:11.73\00:46:15.80
with your passion,
fill me with your spirit.
00:46:15.80\00:46:18.33
