I'll just like to answer
a question that you might

00:00:49.33\00:00:51.70
I'm not a Baptist preacher,

00:01:00.26\00:01:02.26
Seventh-Day Adventist Christian,
00:01:02.26\00:01:03.53
I want you to bow
your heads as we pray.
00:01:04.10\00:01:05.83
Father in heaven,
thank you for the so some
00:01:08.36\00:01:10.73
opportunity to share the
word of God with your people
00:01:10.73\00:01:13.60
in the name of Jesus I
pray for your Holy Spirit.
00:01:14.63\00:01:16.90
You said Jesus, Jesus in John
16 Verse 13 Howbeit when he,
00:01:17.60\00:01:21.30
the Spirit of truth, is
come, He will guide you into all
00:01:22.36\00:01:25.43
the truth: for He
shall not speak from himself;
00:01:25.93\00:01:28.46
but what things so
ever He shall hear,
00:01:29.26\00:01:30.26
that shall He speak: and He
will show you things to come.
00:01:30.90\00:01:33.60
Pour out your Holy
Spirit and guide us
00:01:34.60\00:01:36.80
we pray in Jesus
name. Amen. Amen.
00:01:36.80\00:01:40.80
Title of our message
this afternoon is the greatest
00:01:42.86\00:01:45.40
want of the world.
As I was preparing,
00:01:45.40\00:01:48.96
I was going
through the scriptures,
00:01:50.83\00:01:52.33
I was praying reading
what, the pen of inspiration
00:01:52.33\00:01:55.10
had to say. And there
was a quote in the writings
00:01:55.10\00:01:59.96
of the Ellen White
that shocked me and she says
00:01:59.96\00:02:03.83
in the book of
Evangelism page 280,
00:02:03.83\00:02:06.76
Some may be listening to
the last sermon they will
00:02:08.03\00:02:10.83
ever hear, some will
never again be so situated
00:02:10.83\00:02:16.90
as to have the chain of
truth brought before them.
00:02:17.53\00:02:20.36
What a mighty work it
is to witness for God.
00:02:25.20\00:02:27.76
And so I don't take this
lightly as this opportunity
00:02:28.63\00:02:31.73
present itself to share
what God has put in my heart.
00:02:31.73\00:02:34.46
You see Jesus spoke
about the kingdom of heaven,
00:02:36.00\00:02:39.33
didn't he? He said
the kingdom of heaven
00:02:39.33\00:02:42.00
is like this. The
kingdom of heaven is like that
00:02:42.00\00:02:46.16
and there was a
certain parable in
00:02:47.43\00:02:48.76
Matthew Chapter 22
where Jesus said the
00:02:48.76\00:02:51.56
kingdom of heaven
is like a wedding.
00:02:51.56\00:02:54.06
And the Father
prepared the wedding for His son
00:02:55.80\00:02:57.90
and so He prepared
that the fatty calves
00:02:59.00\00:03:00.86
and the ox and He
called all the friends to come
00:03:00.86\00:03:03.33
to this wedding feast.
But, when it was time for those
00:03:03.33\00:03:06.60
who were invited to
come one by one they began
00:03:06.60\00:03:10.33
to make excuses and so
finally when the Father
00:03:10.33\00:03:15.40
heard that those who are
invited didn't want to come,
00:03:15.40\00:03:18.13
He said go to the
highways, go to the byways
00:03:18.13\00:03:21.63
and invite those
and so they came.
00:03:21.63\00:03:25.10
And there was
one man who was there
00:03:27.03\00:03:29.30
who did have worn a
wedding garment and so when
00:03:30.16\00:03:32.80
the Father came
to the see guests,
00:03:32.80\00:03:34.63
He saw that there was a
person there without this
00:03:34.63\00:03:37.53
wedding garment and the
father said where is your
00:03:37.53\00:03:41.83
garment, why have you
not come with the garment,
00:03:41.83\00:03:44.20
and He was speechless.
And then Jesus said to those
00:03:44.20\00:03:49.33
Pharisees He said,
for many are called, but
00:03:50.53\00:03:53.20
few are chosen. My
friends there are some 420 of us
00:03:54.90\00:04:03.03
here this afternoon and
it's not my desire to put guilt
00:04:03.03\00:04:09.76
and may be worry or fear
in your hearts, but Jesus said
00:04:09.76\00:04:13.10
many shall be
called, but few are chosen.
00:04:13.10\00:04:15.83
In the book Christian
Service page 41 Ellen White says
00:04:18.76\00:04:21.80
in the chapter
entitled God's condition among
00:04:21.80\00:04:24.16
God's church, she says it
is a solemn statement that
00:04:24.16\00:04:28.56
I make to the Church
that there are not one in 20
00:04:28.56\00:04:31.86
whose names are registered
upon the Church books,
00:04:33.10\00:04:35.63
are prepared to close
their earthly history,
00:04:35.63\00:04:37.93
and would be as verily
without God and without hope
00:04:38.76\00:04:41.10
in this world as
the common sinner.
00:04:41.10\00:04:43.20
They are very serious
statements, aren't they?
00:04:46.36\00:04:47.73
So, my burden is to
share what God has done
00:04:51.86\00:04:54.33
to my heart, but also
to share what is the burden
00:04:54.33\00:04:56.83
of God's heart? We are
told that just before the end
00:04:56.83\00:05:01.80
of time, Jesus said
this Gospel shall be preached
00:05:01.80\00:05:04.60
in all the world
for a, for a? Witness!
00:05:06.00\00:05:10.10
Witness, to all nations
then the end shall come.
00:05:10.10\00:05:14.23
And friends as we have
been listening to these
00:05:15.36\00:05:17.16
messages night after night,
the theme is go with purpose,
00:05:17.16\00:05:21.33
passion, and power and
Pastor Nelson has been talking
00:05:21.33\00:05:23.93
about primetime. We
are the generation and what
00:05:23.93\00:05:29.00
message does God give His
primetime generation, the end
00:05:29.00\00:05:33.20
time to share to the world.
The three angels messages,
00:05:33.20\00:05:39.20
and so God says that
there is a message to the whole
00:05:40.90\00:05:44.33
world and He says fear
God give glory to him. Amen.
00:05:44.33\00:05:49.00
Amen. So the
implication is in the end times
00:05:49.46\00:05:52.00
there will be people
who are not fearing God.
00:05:52.00\00:05:53.83
Why does He say give
glory to him; for the hour
00:05:57.93\00:06:00.46
of His judgment is
coming. Now I got to study these
00:06:00.46\00:06:07.46
and I began to ask question
why does God say fear him?
00:06:07.46\00:06:11.63
What happens when a
person fears God in other
00:06:16.10\00:06:18.70
words what happens
when they want to give
00:06:18.70\00:06:20.86
their lives to
Jesus Christ? What happens
00:06:21.10\00:06:22.50
when they make a stand for
truth to decide to serve Him?
00:06:22.50\00:06:26.13
The Bible says in
Proverbs Chapter 1 Verse 7
00:06:28.36\00:06:30.53
For the fear of the
Lord is the beginning of does
00:06:31.33\00:06:35.50
anyone know that verse? Wisdom!
00:06:35.50\00:06:36.96
Wisdom. So, wait a
minute in the end time message
00:06:36.96\00:06:44.00
part of God's plan
is that you have wisdom,
00:06:44.93\00:06:48.96
for the fear of the Lord
is the beginning of Wisdom.
00:06:51.40\00:06:54.00
Now what happens to us? What is,
00:06:56.76\00:07:00.26
why does God want us to
have wisdom in these last days?
00:07:00.80\00:07:03.33
What is so important
about wisdom? This is going
00:07:09.03\00:07:17.40
along the lines of what
Pastor Norman just preached.
00:07:17.40\00:07:20.06
Paul said to Timothy and
that from a child thou hast
00:07:21.96\00:07:25.66
known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make
00:07:25.66\00:07:28.36
thee wise unto, what? Salvation!
00:07:28.36\00:07:31.00
Salvation, Amen. So,
part of God's end time message
00:07:31.43\00:07:34.83
is fear God, why, to
have wisdom so that you could
00:07:34.83\00:07:39.30
be saved. Amen. Amen.
00:07:39.30\00:07:41.76
Salvation is on God's
heart. I don't know what
00:07:42.60\00:07:44.70
you're thinking about
today. Maybe you're invited
00:07:44.70\00:07:46.63
by a friend, may be you're
just here to pass time, but
00:07:46.63\00:07:49.30
on God's mind is
salvation of souls. Amen. Amen.
00:07:49.30\00:07:54.50
It's on His heart day
and night. He doesn't sleep.
00:07:54.50\00:07:56.73
He thinks about His lost
children. So, the end time
00:07:57.40\00:08:03.56
message is seek
wisdom because in wisdom
00:08:03.56\00:08:08.43
we find salvation and the
Bible friends is only book
00:08:08.43\00:08:12.26
that will show you
Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen.
00:08:13.06\00:08:17.26
You can go to borders,
you can go gimmicks, you
00:08:17.26\00:08:19.23
can go to your Uni
Library and there are many books
00:08:19.23\00:08:21.60
on the shelves, but
there is one book that shows us
00:08:21.60\00:08:25.90
salvation that is
Jesus Christ. Amen.
00:08:25.90\00:08:29.90
Amen. So, we are saved
part of God's entire message
00:08:29.90\00:08:33.86
is to save people, what
else does wisdom provide
00:08:33.86\00:08:36.90
for us when we feel God
and we give glory to Him.
00:08:36.90\00:08:40.43
We have wisdom,
wisdom means we see our need
00:08:40.43\00:08:43.30
for our savior and the Holy
Spirit is Jesus said convicts
00:08:43.30\00:08:47.60
of sin, righteousness
and judgment and it shows us
00:08:47.60\00:08:51.20
that we're living in
a time where people need
00:08:51.20\00:08:58.46
to decide where
they will spend eternity.
00:08:58.46\00:09:01.16
Forgive me if I'm
preaching in a certain way,
00:09:03.00\00:09:04.90
but I believe we are
living in last saints of
00:09:06.43\00:09:09.86
earth history. And so
God says that wisdom through
00:09:09.86\00:09:18.23
the scriptures gives
us a chance to be saved,
00:09:18.23\00:09:23.26
gives us a chance
to know Jesus Christ,
00:09:23.26\00:09:25.40
gives us a chance to
know that man on Calvary
00:09:25.40\00:09:27.90
that shed His blood
some 2000 years ago. Amen.
00:09:27.90\00:09:30.70
Amen. So, what
else does wisdom do?
00:09:31.33\00:09:32.50
Bible says in Proverbs
Chapter 11 Verse 30 but
00:09:35.60\00:09:38.96
the fruit of the
righteous is a tree of life and
00:09:38.96\00:09:42.90
He that winneth soul
is wise. Did you get that?
00:09:42.90\00:09:48.83
So, as I understand the
Bible as primetime youth there
00:09:50.53\00:09:54.33
are two overwhelming
things that we should understand
00:09:54.33\00:09:59.20
is number one God
wants you to be saved and
00:09:59.20\00:10:02.00
number two He wants you
to be a saving influence
00:10:02.00\00:10:05.20
in other people. Amen. Amen.
00:10:05.20\00:10:07.03
The soul that wins
souls is wise. Amen.Amen.
00:10:07.86\00:10:14.33
The purpose of AYC
is not to entertain you.
00:10:14.86\00:10:17.00
It's not to make you feel
good, it's meant to help us
00:10:17.73\00:10:21.60
arise ourselves to the
possibility that there is a
00:10:21.60\00:10:25.20
time when we may want
to God's work, we may want
00:10:25.20\00:10:28.23
to be saved but then
there may be a time when
00:10:28.23\00:10:31.70
that opportunity will
pass. As I mentioned before,
00:10:31.70\00:10:40.46
previous AYC's
always not brought up the
00:10:42.86\00:10:44.50
Seventh day Adventist,
that this time some seven,
00:10:44.50\00:10:48.76
eight years ago I was
out in the streets getting
00:10:48.76\00:10:51.46
up to kids get up to
and I remember one time
00:10:51.46\00:10:54.70
we were drinking up a
Charlie chance George Street,
00:10:54.70\00:10:58.86
as I had friends who
lived in Glebe and we would do
00:10:59.10\00:11:03.80
what they do and then we
would go to the pub take over
00:11:03.80\00:11:07.50
the place sit there have
fun. One thing about Island
00:11:07.50\00:11:11.03
is we get drunk, but one
thing we never do when we
00:11:11.03\00:11:15.33
are drunk is talk about
religion. I don't know why,
00:11:15.33\00:11:18.03
maybe it's embedded
in us from a young age,
00:11:18.03\00:11:20.16
we don't talk
about God. But one time,
00:11:20.16\00:11:22.96
when someone in that
group just had a bit too much
00:11:24.60\00:11:27.83
the drink, we started talking
and then somehow the topic
00:11:27.83\00:11:34.13
of religion came up and
everyone having the little
00:11:34.13\00:11:36.43
two sense about what
God is and what's happening
00:11:36.43\00:11:39.36
about the Bible and
everything and this guy was
00:11:39.36\00:11:41.53
standing in the back and
I could see smoke coming out
00:11:41.53\00:11:44.43
of His nostrils and He
was fuming and like He wanted
00:11:44.43\00:11:47.80
to say something and
then He just had enough,
00:11:47.80\00:11:51.23
sipped His schooner
banged on the ground and He said
00:11:52.36\00:11:54.56
enough. You didn't know
a single word of the Bible
00:11:54.56\00:11:59.40
because my church is the
truth. This guy was brought
00:12:01.10\00:12:11.10
up to Seventh-day
Adventist and we all looked
00:12:11.10\00:12:14.03
at Himlike well He
is, what's wrong with him.
00:12:14.03\00:12:16.46
But He said it
with such purpose,
00:12:18.26\00:12:19.80
such intention that we
didn't even wanted to even dare
00:12:20.26\00:12:25.00
open that door. So,
He said okay, next topic.
00:12:25.43\00:12:28.50
And let me tell you
friends that when I was baptized
00:12:30.53\00:12:33.30
He came to the
baptism, when I was baptizing
00:12:34.10\00:12:36.43
in '04 and the very
next week was my cousin,
00:12:36.43\00:12:39.63
He was having a 21st in
His backyard and He realized
00:12:40.53\00:12:43.73
that I was not
drinking and then He was,
00:12:43.73\00:12:46.60
had too much to drink
again and then as I was walking
00:12:47.16\00:12:50.33
pass He pulled me
over and He grabbed me
00:12:50.33\00:12:52.26
to the end of the fence
in the backyard and I thought
00:12:52.26\00:12:54.66
He was or what I've
done. And then He begins
00:12:54.66\00:12:57.93
He looked me in eye
and He said William,
00:12:57.93\00:12:59.70
I thought that you
would have a drink tonight.
00:13:03.40\00:13:07.73
I mean this is one
week after baptism,
00:13:08.83\00:13:10.90
but that's how weak He
thought I would just fall,
00:13:10.90\00:13:13.60
say I thought that with
all these boxes of the beers
00:13:14.83\00:13:17.40
and all these things I
knew you would have a drink,
00:13:17.40\00:13:20.86
but when you didn't
it made me realize maybe
00:13:22.86\00:13:27.53
I should start going
back to church. Amen. Amen.
00:13:27.53\00:13:32.90
I'm not showing this to
show you how I good was,
00:13:33.20\00:13:35.83
but we are witness
wherever we go and I learned
00:13:35.83\00:13:42.70
a valuable lesson that
people are watching me,
00:13:42.70\00:13:45.50
people are watching
me. Even another friend
00:13:48.13\00:13:53.96
that came to my
baptism, He had no mercy.
00:13:53.96\00:13:58.13
He told me straight as
He was shaking His hand
00:13:58.13\00:14:00.40
as He walked up out and
He said to me point blank
00:14:00.40\00:14:04.06
in the face, oh William
I'll see how long you last.
00:14:04.06\00:14:06.96
Amen. Amen. But you got
to understand my friend's
00:14:07.90\00:14:12.03
mindset. We would be
sitting there smoking
00:14:12.03\00:14:14.00
marijuana and all these
other stuff and I used to say
00:14:14.00\00:14:16.23
every week I am
not smoking anymore.
00:14:16.23\00:14:18.23
This is my last smoke.
What was I doing the very
00:14:19.36\00:14:22.60
next night? This is my
last smoke and then one of them
00:14:22.60\00:14:26.80
just got so upset He
said William can you just stop
00:14:26.80\00:14:29.93
that. You will never
change? And the more He said
00:14:29.93\00:14:35.03
that the more it hurt
and so I was trying in my own
00:14:35.03\00:14:39.23
strength to change,
but should, someone should
00:14:39.23\00:14:44.00
have shared with me
what is said in Jeremiah,
00:14:44.00\00:14:45.50
Can the Ethiopian change
His skin? Can the leopard
00:14:45.50\00:14:48.60
change His spots?
Can you do good who are
00:14:48.60\00:14:51.40
accustomed to do evil? I
was trying to do it in my own
00:14:51.40\00:14:53.70
strength. And so I
learned a very valuable lesson.
00:14:53.70\00:14:59.80
I thank you Pastor's wife
for the names we pray for.
00:15:02.23\00:15:04.96
First five was my friends.
They're still out there,
00:15:05.93\00:15:09.33
they're still doing God
knows what, and I'm praying
00:15:09.33\00:15:12.90
for them. And so I
ask myself the questions
00:15:12.90\00:15:19.00
what does that mean to
be a primetime Adventist,
00:15:20.40\00:15:23.03
Young generation of
youth in these last days,
00:15:23.80\00:15:25.80
it is wisdom through
the scriptures it helps you,
00:15:26.43\00:15:29.63
it shows you Jesus
Christ, it gives you a chance
00:15:30.06\00:15:32.36
to be saved, not only
you, Jesus wants you to be
00:15:32.36\00:15:36.70
saved, He is
calling you to save others,
00:15:36.70\00:15:40.43
that's what wisdom is.
But friends as the word of God
00:15:41.93\00:15:50.03
says the hour of
His judgment is coming,
00:15:50.03\00:15:52.86
He is coming. We are living
in the judgment hour I know
00:15:54.50\00:15:57.53
I'm preaching Adventist,
you've heard this many times,
00:15:57.53\00:16:00.20
but there is a time
that the fruits of wisdom
00:16:03.90\00:16:06.90
what its sort to
accomplish in saving you,
00:16:07.96\00:16:10.43
in saving friends around
you, there is a time when that
00:16:11.40\00:16:13.93
will pass. Solomon
knew that very well as
00:16:13.93\00:16:20.23
He says in Proverbs,
Chapter 1 reading form Verse 20
00:16:20.23\00:16:25.13
He said wisdom cries
out. Wisdom cries without,
00:16:25.13\00:16:30.56
she utters her
voice in the street, help,
00:16:31.63\00:16:33.70
Jesus is coming soon.
She cries in the chief place
00:16:35.80\00:16:40.66
of concourse, she cries
at the Uni, she cries wisdom
00:16:40.66\00:16:44.66
to those who door
knocked yesterday.
00:16:44.66\00:16:46.26
She utters her voice
in the streets and she is
00:16:48.40\00:16:52.76
saying people give
your lives to Christ.
00:16:52.76\00:16:57.10
Since how long you
simple ones? Will you love
00:17:00.60\00:17:03.20
simplicity? And the scorners
delight in their scorning,
00:17:03.20\00:17:06.03
and fools hate
knowledge? Turn your reproof.
00:17:06.03\00:17:08.83
Behold, I will pour
out my Spirit unto you,
00:17:11.10\00:17:13.13
I will make known
my words unto you.
00:17:13.93\00:17:15.50
Isn't that a beautiful
promise friends? God wants us
00:17:16.66\00:17:19.60
and this generation to
have Spirit full lives.
00:17:19.60\00:17:22.40
He wants to put
His words in our mouth,
00:17:22.40\00:17:24.56
so that when we talk to
our friends, when we talk those
00:17:24.56\00:17:26.93
around us we will be a
saving influence on people.
00:17:26.93\00:17:29.60
And there is a time
factor, but then God goes
00:17:31.26\00:17:36.10
on to say, but I have
called and you refused,
00:17:36.10\00:17:39.76
I stretched out my
hand and no man regarded,
00:17:40.60\00:17:42.53
but ye have set at
nought all my counsel,
00:17:43.00\00:17:44.86
and would none of my reproof:
00:17:44.86\00:17:46.20
I also will laugh at your
calamity; I will mock when
00:17:47.50\00:17:51.20
your fear cometh; When
your fear cometh as desolation,
00:17:51.20\00:17:54.70
and your destruction
cometh as a whirlwind;
00:17:54.70\00:17:57.00
when distress and
anguish cometh upon you.
00:17:57.00\00:17:59.40
Then shall they call upon
me, but I will not answer;
00:17:59.40\00:18:02.00
they shall seek me
early, but they will not find
00:18:03.86\00:18:06.70
me why? But that
they hated knowledge,
00:18:08.53\00:18:10.33
and they did not
choose the fear of the Lord.
00:18:11.63\00:18:16.73
Friends, I said this
before that I believe one of the
00:18:19.26\00:18:22.06
greatest gifts apart from
Jesus Christ and His blood
00:18:22.06\00:18:25.10
and His sacrifice is; the
gift of time and after that
00:18:25.66\00:18:29.33
is the gift of
choice. Do you agree with me?
00:18:29.33\00:18:33.96
Yes. One of the
greatest gifts of God
00:18:35.43\00:18:36.43
is He is so powerful,
but yet He will not force
00:18:36.43\00:18:39.23
His will upon you. Friends
I say this with all purpose
00:18:39.23\00:18:49.46
in my heart and all honesty
AYC is being a life changing
00:18:49.46\00:18:53.40
experience for me. You
say but wait a minute William.
00:18:53.40\00:18:56.90
You've been at
Adventist for six years,
00:18:56.90\00:18:58.66
you have gone to Avondale
college. What do you mean
00:18:59.70\00:19:01.83
it's been a life
changing experience because
00:19:01.83\00:19:03.90
when God's words said to
me turn you in my reproof.
00:19:03.90\00:19:06.80
Have you ever had that
experience? I pray that is
00:19:10.53\00:19:12.63
your experience now. When
God speaks to you in that think
00:19:12.63\00:19:18.80
all your conscious
and sometimes we feel that
00:19:18.80\00:19:22.40
its not there we try to
leave it alone, but then when we
00:19:22.40\00:19:25.26
come to another sermon
that same Spirits that same
00:19:25.26\00:19:27.90
voice speaks to you.
And Friends I've had that
00:19:27.90\00:19:32.50
experience. God has been
imagining, He says William
00:19:32.50\00:19:36.40
turn you at my reproof.
Friends I don't what you are
00:19:37.63\00:19:44.56
going through, but I
could almost be guarantee
00:19:44.56\00:19:45.73
that there may some
people, God has been
00:19:48.33\00:19:51.46
impressing you with a certain
air in your life to surrender
00:19:51.46\00:19:55.00
to Him, but we
don't want to surrender.
00:19:55.00\00:20:00.86
Please don't disappoint
Jesus, don't disappoint your
00:20:03.83\00:20:08.56
savior, the reason why
He convicts you is that
00:20:08.56\00:20:13.26
you may know that you
are not walking with Him.
00:20:13.26\00:20:15.90
Or that there certain
area of life you need to give
00:20:17.60\00:20:19.56
to Him. And friends I
say this with all my heart
00:20:19.56\00:20:23.53
and I stand here with
all humility and I can sing
00:20:23.73\00:20:30.36
that hymn with
confidence, I surrender all.
00:20:30.36\00:20:32.93
Isn't that a
beautiful hymn? Amen.
00:20:34.36\00:20:36.00
All to Jesus that's what
God wants in these last days.
00:20:36.60\00:20:39.23
He is not looking
for the most brightest,
00:20:40.86\00:20:42.13
the most talented, He
is looking for a heart
00:20:42.13\00:20:44.46
that is willing to
serve him. And friends there
00:20:44.46\00:20:49.26
is no greater peace
that when you sleep at night
00:20:49.26\00:20:52.80
and your head hits that
pillow and you know that with
00:20:52.80\00:20:57.00
all intentions and
purposes that you're conscience
00:20:57.00\00:21:00.83
is clear, that's why
that famous hymn writer
00:21:00.83\00:21:08.70
could write when peace
like a river intends my way,
00:21:08.70\00:21:11.93
whatever happened in His
life it was well with His
00:21:11.93\00:21:15.36
soul. Is it well with
your soul today? I know I spent
00:21:17.90\00:21:25.26
to talk about witnessing,
vandalism doing all these,
00:21:25.26\00:21:29.60
yes. By God's grace
I have been doing that,
00:21:29.60\00:21:32.13
but burden on my heart
today is, are you wise?
00:21:32.13\00:21:36.66
You're saved, and are
you using your life to save
00:21:38.36\00:21:43.30
others? Ellen White says
in the book Education page 57,
00:21:43.30\00:21:52.80
she says the
greatest want of the world
00:21:54.66\00:21:57.66
is the want of men. Ladies
don't worry, I'm coming to
00:21:57.66\00:22:03.66
you. The greatest want of
the world is the want of men,
00:22:05.36\00:22:07.43
men who will not be
bought or sold; men who in their
00:22:09.00\00:22:12.06
inmost souls are true and
honest; men who do not fear
00:22:12.06\00:22:15.30
to call sin by its right
name; men whose conscience
00:22:15.30\00:22:19.20
is as true to duty as
the needle to the pole;
00:22:19.20\00:22:22.43
men who will stand for
the right though the heavens
00:22:22.43\00:22:25.93
fall. Amen. Amen.
And this is the WMV,
00:22:25.93\00:22:29.50
William Moala Version.
The greatest one in the world
00:22:29.50\00:22:33.93
is the one of Adventist
Youth, who are true to duty,
00:22:33.93\00:22:40.90
whose consciences are
clear, who can look themselves
00:22:41.73\00:22:45.10
in the mirror and say
with all honesty and purpose
00:22:45.10\00:22:47.56
I am a Christian. I am
not a hypocrite and I say
00:22:47.56\00:22:53.43
this with all respect and
with all vulnerability that
00:22:53.43\00:22:56.80
at times I have been a hypocrite
00:22:56.80\00:22:58.40
and it's not a good feeling,
is it? It's not good feeling
00:23:00.53\00:23:04.23
when you look at
others happy Sabbath,
00:23:04.23\00:23:05.90
how are you doing? Very
good, thank you, see you
00:23:05.90\00:23:08.36
later, happy Sabbath,
and all through that life
00:23:08.36\00:23:11.00
when you're driving home
you know it is not a happy
00:23:11.00\00:23:13.36
Sabbath, because you got
things in your life that you
00:23:13.36\00:23:17.00
have not surrendered. Forgive
me for this tone of voice,
00:23:17.00\00:23:23.63
forgive me for the
way I am preaching,
00:23:24.80\00:23:25.96
but God is calling is to
get real. Use AYC as the turning
00:23:28.53\00:23:39.53
point in your Christian
experience. Amen. Amen.
00:23:39.53\00:23:43.56
Whether you've been in
the Church or your life
00:23:44.40\00:23:46.06
whether you've just come
in, say within your heart,
00:23:46.06\00:23:49.26
Lord at AYC I made a
decision to serve you.
00:23:50.10\00:23:54.06
I made a commitment
to follow you because
00:23:55.56\00:24:00.66
as we are told there
are some who are listening
00:24:00.66\00:24:04.13
to the sound of my
voice this could be your last
00:24:04.13\00:24:06.90
conference. This could be
the last time I am preaching.
00:24:06.90\00:24:09.76
Did you remember
hearing the story of what
00:24:12.06\00:24:13.56
happened couple of
GYC's ago, there was a young
00:24:13.56\00:24:16.20
boy that attended
the GYC on his way home
00:24:16.20\00:24:18.60
in the winter as he
was driving on the road
00:24:18.60\00:24:20.86
there was ice over the
road; they lost control he died.
00:24:20.86\00:24:23.86
He died going home from a
conference just like this.
00:24:25.80\00:24:28.36
God calling us, to say
this afternoon and as we listen
00:24:34.93\00:24:40.56
to the consecration
address, our prayer should be
00:24:40.56\00:24:46.20
Lord is there
anything in this in here that,
00:24:46.20\00:24:51.80
he is separating me from
you. Perhaps some people God is
00:24:51.80\00:24:58.30
calling in to be missionary,
some God is calling you
00:24:58.30\00:25:05.16
to start Bible studies
with that friend that you hang
00:25:06.70\00:25:08.70
around with everyday, but
you have not had the courage
00:25:08.70\00:25:10.56
to say yes, I would do
that. Whatever God's plan
00:25:10.56\00:25:15.60
is for you let these next
few hours, the hours where your
00:25:15.60\00:25:19.90
heart is like this.
Lord as that hymn says take
00:25:20.63\00:25:25.73
my life and let it be, holy
consecrated to the isn't that
00:25:25.73\00:25:32.33
your desire
friends, that's my desire,
00:25:32.33\00:25:35.06
so when you see me
walking around I want you to say
00:25:36.60\00:25:39.10
William just you don't
have to say anything when
00:25:39.10\00:25:44.00
you look at me and
you just smile at me
00:25:44.00\00:25:45.73
and there is a connection
like I'm living for Jesus
00:25:45.73\00:25:48.66
you're living for
Jesus that's what matters.
00:25:48.66\00:25:50.96
Amen. I may not know your names,
00:25:51.83\00:25:55.33
I may not know
where you come from,
00:25:56.00\00:25:57.00
but when I look
around the crowd here I know
00:25:57.00\00:25:59.30
that there are people
here who love Jesus. Amen.
00:25:59.30\00:26:02.30
So, when you go back to
your local Church you represent
00:26:03.93\00:26:07.33
Jesus. Stand for the right
thou the heavens fall. Amen.
00:26:07.33\00:26:13.40
How many people here
are willing to stand up
00:26:16.03\00:26:19.93
for Jesus? Can I see
your hands? Let's all rise.
00:26:19.93\00:26:27.23
I know that there
are have been appeals,
00:26:29.93\00:26:31.03
I know that there have
been, but we're just gonna
00:26:31.83\00:26:33.93
make one appeal
and that is as we pray,
00:26:33.93\00:26:36.40
I want you to pray in
your heart that what is gonna
00:26:37.30\00:26:40.20
happen in these next few
hours, you're gonna say Lord,
00:26:40.20\00:26:44.40
whatever you say to me
I'm gonna respond. Perhaps
00:26:45.30\00:26:47.20
there is a
relationship you want me to stop
00:26:49.06\00:26:50.66
you say I'm gonna
stop it right here.
00:26:50.66\00:26:52.26
Maybe there are some
things in your life you know
00:26:54.00\00:26:55.53
you shouldn't be doing,
you say Lord I'm gonna stop
00:26:55.53\00:26:57.76
it right here. And by
your grace Lord as you said
00:26:57.76\00:27:04.90
in Philippians as you
began the good work in me
00:27:04.90\00:27:07.66
you will
completed until the end.
00:27:08.96\00:27:10.03
Let's bow our heads and pray.
00:27:12.43\00:27:13.40
Father in heaven, as
we stand here before you
00:27:16.43\00:27:20.60
in the presence
of the living God,
00:27:21.40\00:27:22.63
I pray that each
person in this auditorium even
00:27:24.40\00:27:28.06
the usher at the door
wherever they are Adventist
00:27:28.06\00:27:31.20
or not, Christian or
not, Lord speak to us.
00:27:31.20\00:27:33.70
Open your hearts as
David prayed, search me oh God.
00:27:35.66\00:27:41.03
Search us Lord for we've
been deceived our own selves,
00:27:42.43\00:27:46.43
such as today. Father, I
don't know who I am talking to,
00:27:46.43\00:27:52.80
but you know your
children in this place you know
00:27:52.80\00:27:56.80
the experience, you
know exactly what each person
00:27:56.80\00:27:59.83
is going through, so I
pray in the name of Jesus Christ
00:27:59.83\00:28:04.33
that as we enter into
the consecration service
00:28:04.33\00:28:07.20
as we've been listening
to the messages all through
00:28:09.10\00:28:10.80
these last few days that
you'll speak directly to each
00:28:11.36\00:28:15.70
of us. Father give us
heart that'll be willing to say
00:28:15.70\00:28:21.10
yes Lord. I surrender
all. Thank you for hearing
00:28:21.10\00:28:25.50
our prayer and thank
you for this conference,
00:28:25.50\00:28:27.73

00:28:28.80\00:28:30.96
Amen, God bless you
can turn your seats.
