Welcome to 3ABN Fall Camp Meeting Homecoming 2010. 00:00:24.70\00:00:30.23 Featuring inspired messages from your 3ABN family, 00:00:32.00\00:00:35.93 and special guest speaker Jack Blanco 00:00:35.93\00:00:39.50 along with uplifting Christian music. 00:00:39.50\00:00:41.86 All to prepare your hearts for the coming of the Lord. 00:00:41.86\00:00:45.43 We've been so thrilled with the messages here 00:00:45.43\00:00:48.33 that Dr. Jack Blanco, Professor Emeritus from 00:00:48.33\00:00:52.93 Southern Adventist University has 00:00:52.93\00:00:55.50 been bringing to a spirit filled. 00:00:55.50\00:00:58.33 You can hear a pin drop here in this auditorium. 00:00:58.33\00:01:01.73 For each of those messages; the first 00:01:01.73\00:01:04.23 one was the loving one and the second was 00:01:04.23\00:01:07.30 the humble one and today is the obedient one. 00:01:07.30\00:01:12.20 You know the devil has done a great job of 00:01:12.20\00:01:16.80 making people misunderstand obedience. 00:01:16.80\00:01:20.33 He has made people think that obedience is legalism. 00:01:20.33\00:01:25.93 And how wrong that could be when you look at our 00:01:25.93\00:01:28.86 Father in heaven as obedient and his 00:01:28.86\00:01:32.23 Son Jesus obedient. Not because they 00:01:32.23\00:01:35.63 have to but because it is their character 00:01:35.63\00:01:39.93 and the right thing to do. We're gonna listen 00:01:39.93\00:01:42.80 this morning as Dr. Jack Blanco brings us the 00:01:42.80\00:01:47.00 message entitled "The Obedient One" 00:01:47.00\00:01:50.36 but before he comes we're gonna be 00:01:50.36\00:01:52.73 privileged again by Dr. Yvonne Lewis and 00:01:52.73\00:01:55.83 she is going to sing for us "Were It Not For Grace." 00:01:55.83\00:02:01.90 Time measure out my days Life carried me along 00:02:22.73\00:02:35.56 In my soul I yearned to follow God 00:02:37.10\00:02:45.23 But knew I'd never be so strong 00:02:45.23\00:02:50.46 I looked hard at this world 00:02:50.46\00:02:54.90 To see how heaven could be gained 00:02:54.90\00:03:03.26 Just to end where I began 00:03:03.26\00:03:08.50 Where human effort is all in vain. It's all in vain 00:03:08.50\00:03:19.66 Were it not for grace I can tell you where I'd be 00:03:19.66\00:03:34.23 Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere 00:03:34.23\00:03:41.63 With my salvation up to me 00:03:41.63\00:03:47.50 I know how that would go 00:03:47.50\00:03:54.03 The battles I would face 00:03:54.03\00:04:01.60 Forever running but losing the race 00:04:01.60\00:04:08.70 Were it not for grace 00:04:08.70\00:04:15.36 So here is all my praise 00:04:18.43\00:04:23.76 Expressed with all my heart 00:04:25.26\00:04:31.50 Offered to the friend who took my place 00:04:32.46\00:04:40.16 And ran a course I could not start 00:04:40.16\00:04:46.13 And when He saw in full 00:04:46.13\00:04:51.26 Just how much His love would cost 00:04:51.26\00:04:59.03 He still went the final mile 00:04:59.03\00:05:04.43 between earth and heaven 00:05:04.43\00:05:07.86 So I would not be lost Were it not for grace 00:05:07.86\00:05:24.10 I can tell you where I'd be 00:05:24.10\00:05:31.13 Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere 00:05:31.13\00:05:38.16 With my salvation up to me 00:05:38.16\00:05:44.30 I know how that would go 00:05:44.30\00:05:51.16 The battles I would face 00:05:51.16\00:05:58.50 Forever running but losing the race 00:05:58.50\00:06:05.80 Were it not for grace 00:06:05.80\00:06:12.63 Forever running but losing the race 00:06:12.63\00:06:21.40 Were it not for your grace, 00:06:21.40\00:06:29.66 Your grace, Jesus your grace. 00:06:29.66\00:06:43.36 You say amen for that. Amen. 00:06:51.50\00:06:53.90 Praise the Lord right. Well, the last couple 00:06:53.90\00:06:59.30 of meetings, sermons, yeah, we dealt about the, 00:06:59.30\00:07:03.90 talked about the Father, didn't we? 00:07:03.90\00:07:06.66 His compassion, His forgiveness and kindness, 00:07:06.66\00:07:12.86 His gentleness, pain that He suffered over 00:07:13.66\00:07:21.36 His younger Son, the gentleness with 00:07:21.36\00:07:24.16 His older one. We talked about Jesus the humble one, 00:07:24.16\00:07:30.43 the empty one. The devil comes and finds 00:07:30.43\00:07:35.30 nothing in me, total submission, yes. 00:07:35.30\00:07:40.16 And we looked at the amazing control of the 00:07:40.16\00:07:46.30 Father when He saw His son being crucified 00:07:46.30\00:07:53.30 and endured all that pain for you and for me. 00:07:55.56\00:07:58.93 We saw the control of the son, controlling 00:08:00.63\00:08:06.03 divinity and not turning the stones into bread. 00:08:06.03\00:08:11.70 If you can control divinity you can 00:08:11.70\00:08:14.46 control anything. So that's why it says 00:08:14.46\00:08:18.96 He was tempted in all points like as we are. 00:08:18.96\00:08:22.00 And then of course we talked about his Lordship 00:08:23.86\00:08:26.86 and Jesus said; I am the Lord of the Sabbath. 00:08:26.86\00:08:32.33 He connected Lordship with Sabbath. 00:08:32.33\00:08:37.63 And that's what the Sabbath is all about, 00:08:39.26\00:08:42.00 about his Lordship. Not about his resurrection, 00:08:42.00\00:08:47.56 not about this or that, but his Lordship and 00:08:47.56\00:08:51.26 Kingship. Lord of the Sabbath. 00:08:51.26\00:08:57.73 Someone asked me last night after message, 00:08:57.73\00:09:01.50 what about the signs, the scares in his hand 00:09:01.50\00:09:05.23 and feet and head? In Zechariah the 13th 00:09:05.23\00:09:11.10 chapter verse 6, there will be some there; 00:09:11.10\00:09:13.23 who have not heard of the complete gospel. 00:09:13.23\00:09:17.16 They will say what are these wounds in thine 00:09:18.53\00:09:22.13 hands? Oh, these are the wounds where with 00:09:22.13\00:09:26.90 I was wounded in the house of my friends. 00:09:26.90\00:09:33.43 What friends? So these signs are a reminder of 00:09:35.60\00:09:45.20 redemption, the cost of redemption. 00:09:45.20\00:09:51.23 These signs are, these scares are also reminders 00:09:51.23\00:09:56.26 of submission. He will be known as the humble one. 00:09:56.26\00:10:03.43 You look at his scares and he will know and be 00:10:03.43\00:10:07.33 reminded that this is the humble one, 00:10:07.33\00:10:10.70 in contrast to Satan the proud one. 00:10:10.70\00:10:16.80 And that's why in First Corinthians 15:28 00:10:19.30\00:10:22.13 it says, And after he has put down all power 00:10:22.13\00:10:26.06 and all authority then he himself will be subject 00:10:26.06\00:10:30.70 to God. This is after it's all over then he 00:10:30.70\00:10:35.76 himself will be subject to God that God maybe 00:10:35.76\00:10:40.03 all in all, a sign of submission, and all of 00:10:40.03\00:10:46.20 us who will be there, those who will be there 00:10:46.20\00:10:49.26 will be people who have submitted, 00:10:49.26\00:10:52.96 will be submissive people and humble people. 00:10:52.96\00:10:57.83 Let's bow our heads for prayer. 00:10:58.96\00:11:00.83 Father in Heaven, as we talk today and study 00:11:00.83\00:11:04.73 today and look at the Holy Spirit, we ask for 00:11:04.73\00:11:10.56 your presence in a very special way, 00:11:10.56\00:11:15.70 in Jesus name, amen. My text this morning 00:11:15.70\00:11:20.30 is taken from John the 16th chapter, 00:11:20.30\00:11:23.50 John 16 beginning with verse 13 and 14. 00:11:23.50\00:11:29.86 Jesus is talking about the Holy Spirit and 00:11:29.86\00:11:33.23 he refers to the Holy Spirit with the pronoun He, 00:11:33.23\00:11:39.13 eight times. When he, the Spirit of truth is come, 00:11:39.13\00:11:44.10 he shall speak; he shall glorify me and so on. 00:11:44.10\00:11:50.43 The personal pronoun he, the Holy Spirit is 00:11:50.43\00:11:55.90 a person, amen, and has a personality like 00:11:55.90\00:12:01.56 the father and the son, and so this morning 00:12:01.56\00:12:04.56 I want you to think of him as a person. 00:12:04.56\00:12:08.90 And Paul, when he talks about giving gifts 00:12:11.93\00:12:15.60 the Holy Spirit. Also refers to the Holy Spirit 00:12:15.60\00:12:19.50 as he, he will give gifts as he chooses. 00:12:19.50\00:12:24.76 And by the way I should add a footnote, 00:12:27.63\00:12:30.13 you know, God doesn't look at what we do 00:12:30.13\00:12:34.83 as much as at the spirit in which we do it. 00:12:34.83\00:12:39.20 It doesn't to him in one sense, to him it doesn't 00:12:40.86\00:12:43.86 matter whether we are teachers or preachers 00:12:43.86\00:12:47.96 or doctors or mechanics or floor sweepers, 00:12:47.96\00:12:52.40 it doesn't make any difference. 00:12:52.40\00:12:55.40 He looks at the spirit in which we do it. 00:12:55.40\00:13:00.33 Didn't Jesus take care of the goats? 00:13:03.06\00:13:05.76 Milk the goats or clean the barn or whatever, 00:13:05.76\00:13:09.63 right, work at the carpenter's bench. 00:13:09.63\00:13:12.76 And so the Holy Spirit gives gifts as he wills, 00:13:17.36\00:13:20.93 yes, but I want you to follow me and look 00:13:20.93\00:13:23.66 closely at the verses 13 and 14 in John 16. 00:13:23.66\00:13:30.50 Jesus is saying when he, the Spirit of truth, 00:13:30.50\00:13:34.43 is come, yes, he will guide you into all truth. 00:13:34.43\00:13:38.30 But notice the next part. 00:13:39.70\00:13:42.03 He will not speak about himself. 00:13:42.03\00:13:47.73 Anybody that speaks a lot about the Holy Spirit, 00:13:51.10\00:13:54.46 do you have the Holy Spirit, do you have the 00:13:54.46\00:13:56.16 Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit, 00:13:56.16\00:13:58.93 it's not the Holy Spirit. Now that doesn't mean 00:13:58.93\00:14:05.10 we don't speak about the Holy Spirit at all. 00:14:05.10\00:14:07.66 If that's all you hear is about the Holy Spirit, 00:14:07.66\00:14:11.33 it's not the Holy Spirit. He shall not speak of 00:14:11.33\00:14:16.00 himself or about himself but whatsoever 00:14:16.00\00:14:20.30 he hears he will speak: Oh, he is listening 00:14:20.30\00:14:28.00 and so that's why I entitled this message, 00:14:28.00\00:14:31.73 the obedient one. He says what he hears, 00:14:31.73\00:14:37.10 he says what he is told to say, 00:14:37.10\00:14:40.33 he does what he is asked to do. 00:14:40.33\00:14:44.36 And what he shall hear, that shall he speak: 00:14:49.76\00:14:52.00 and he will show you things to come. 00:14:52.00\00:14:53.56 He will glorify me Jesus says, not himself. 00:14:53.56\00:14:58.96 He will glorify me for he will receive of mine and 00:14:58.96\00:15:07.16 he will show it to you. They shall look back; 00:15:07.16\00:15:12.43 lets go to eternity past. In Zechariah the 6th 00:15:12.43\00:15:17.70 chapter, we are not going to, I have a number 00:15:17.70\00:15:19.30 of texts so we can't look all of them up. 00:15:19.30\00:15:22.33 Zechariah the chapter 6 verse 13, it talks about 00:15:24.10\00:15:27.50 the counsel of peace. After the world was 00:15:27.50\00:15:33.73 created and after sin came in, okay, 00:15:33.73\00:15:36.23 now how are we gonna solve this problem and 00:15:36.23\00:15:39.50 there was a counsel of peace among the Father, 00:15:39.50\00:15:42.90 the Son and the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit 00:15:42.90\00:15:45.90 was there also in that discussion, 00:15:45.90\00:15:50.20 making decisions. Then we go from there 00:15:52.03\00:15:59.90 to creation. What does it say in Genesis? 00:15:59.90\00:16:03.63 In the beginning God created the heavens 00:16:03.63\00:16:05.26 and the earth, right, and the spirit was there 00:16:05.26\00:16:07.73 and what? Hovered over the waters. 00:16:07.73\00:16:14.40 The Holy Spirit was there at creation, yes. 00:16:14.40\00:16:18.60 And in Genesis it also says, yes, that to come, 00:16:18.60\00:16:23.66 let us God says, let us make man in our image 00:16:23.66\00:16:28.00 and after our likeness. And that includes 00:16:28.00\00:16:36.03 being created in order to reflect the Holy Spirit. 00:16:36.03\00:16:42.16 Wasn't just let us create meaning father, son. 00:16:43.96\00:16:48.40 Let us create plural father, son, Holy Spirit 00:16:48.40\00:16:54.26 and the Holy Spirit was there, yes. 00:16:54.26\00:16:56.90 It's all exactly how the part that each one had, 00:16:56.90\00:17:03.66 yes, Jesus created all things by Him. 00:17:03.66\00:17:07.33 What role did the Holy Spirit play? 00:17:07.33\00:17:10.33 We are not told, but I'm wondering sometimes 00:17:10.33\00:17:14.20 whether after Jesus molded Adam whether 00:17:14.20\00:17:21.30 the Holy Spirit did breathe into His nostrils 00:17:21.30\00:17:27.16 and then Jesus said, yes, Adam, wake up, 00:17:27.16\00:17:33.23 you are body, mind and spirit. 00:17:33.23\00:17:38.30 Because in the book of Job, Job says, 00:17:39.70\00:17:42.30 yes, the spirit is in my nostrils. 00:17:42.30\00:17:47.36 Then I am of course we come to John the 3rd 00:17:50.40\00:17:52.36 chapter jumping ahead. Jesus talks to Nicodemus 00:17:52.36\00:17:58.03 and what did He tell him? you must be born 00:17:58.03\00:18:01.16 of water and the spirit, yes, because when Adam 00:18:01.16\00:18:06.56 sinned his spiritual nature died. 00:18:06.56\00:18:11.40 We are dead, it had to be a new creation 00:18:11.40\00:18:16.03 as Paul says, that all we are a new what? 00:18:16.03\00:18:19.50 Creation, oh, yes, by the power of the Holy Spirit. 00:18:19.50\00:18:27.86 Then we come down quickly through our 00:18:31.50\00:18:35.23 scripture and we come to Noah and the flood. 00:18:35.23\00:18:38.73 You know Jesus said, He that blasphemes 00:18:43.23\00:18:46.80 the Holy Spirit that sin cannot be forgiven, 00:18:46.80\00:18:50.50 right. Well, that word blasphemy is a broad 00:18:50.50\00:18:55.16 term because, yes, you read that in Mark 3:29 00:18:55.16\00:18:59.73 but you go to Acts 13:45 and it talks 00:18:59.73\00:19:03.60 about contradicting the spirit. 00:19:03.60\00:19:07.13 Oh, turning against the spirit. 00:19:07.13\00:19:13.23 Contradicting him, working against him, 00:19:13.23\00:19:17.96 all of that is included and that cannot 00:19:17.96\00:19:21.60 be forgiven. When you go to the time of the 00:19:21.60\00:19:25.86 flood what did they do? They ignored the 00:19:25.86\00:19:30.03 Holy Spirit, they turned against the Holy Spirit 00:19:30.03\00:19:34.06 and they didn't listen to the Holy Spirit. 00:19:34.06\00:19:36.66 And the Holy Spirit longsuffering as he is, 00:19:36.66\00:19:40.73 waited a 120 years and finally what happened? 00:19:40.73\00:19:45.96 It grieved God including the Holy Spirit. 00:19:45.96\00:19:51.96 If the Holy Spirit is a person and as a 00:19:51.96\00:19:54.86 personality and he is like the father 00:19:54.86\00:19:57.36 and the son then he has emotional feelings also, 00:19:57.36\00:20:02.26 right, yes. Emotional pain and the Holy Spirit 00:20:02.26\00:20:09.90 was grieved and that's why we are told grieve 00:20:09.90\00:20:13.10 not the Holy Spirit. It hurt the Holy Spirit. 00:20:13.10\00:20:18.16 After 120 years mercy came to its end. 00:20:18.16\00:20:24.66 There is an end to mercy. It has its limits and the 00:20:24.66\00:20:29.20 Holy Spirit was hurt and grieved and was sorry 00:20:29.20\00:20:34.60 that he was involved in the creation of mankind. 00:20:34.60\00:20:39.93 And he said; fine, I'm withdrawing. 00:20:41.93\00:20:47.23 Right of course Noah was found faithful and 00:20:47.23\00:20:51.50 so on you know the story. You go down to the time 00:20:51.50\00:20:55.20 of Moses and Egypt. And in Nehemiah the 00:20:55.20\00:20:59.56 9th chapter it says, yes, they were led out 00:20:59.56\00:21:02.50 by a cloud, a pillar of cloud by day, pillar of 00:21:02.50\00:21:05.93 fire by night and the Holy Spirit guided them. 00:21:05.93\00:21:11.06 He was there. Then of course you come down 00:21:12.20\00:21:19.00 to the time of David. David says, in Psalm 139, 00:21:19.00\00:21:24.30 where shall I go from you presence? 00:21:24.30\00:21:26.40 Where shall I flee? If I go to the utter most 00:21:26.40\00:21:29.50 parts of the sea even there you are there. 00:21:29.50\00:21:33.86 Brother and sisters, I know that from experience 00:21:35.60\00:21:39.03 which when I was in the military in Korean war 00:21:39.03\00:21:42.30 in the South Pacific. The Holy Spirit touched 00:21:42.30\00:21:45.50 my heart and I gave my heart to the Lord 00:21:45.50\00:21:47.26 Jesus Christ. I know, I know He was there. 00:21:47.26\00:21:57.06 Then of course you come down to the time 00:22:00.30\00:22:01.96 of Jesus, yes. The Holy Spirit was there at its 00:22:01.96\00:22:07.03 birth dedicated by the priest. 00:22:07.03\00:22:11.63 There at his baptism, man this scripture says 00:22:13.53\00:22:20.20 in Romans 8:11; not only did the Father called 00:22:20.20\00:22:25.43 Jesus forth from the grave, you know like the 00:22:25.43\00:22:28.20 angel said Son of God thy Father calleth thee. 00:22:28.20\00:22:32.90 Father raised Jesus from the dead but also the 00:22:34.33\00:22:37.76 Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead, 00:22:37.76\00:22:41.30 in a sense he was there too. 00:22:41.30\00:22:44.63 And here we come the Pentecost. 00:22:51.50\00:22:54.00 Pentecost Acts first chapter, Lord says, 00:22:54.00\00:22:58.13 pray and I will pray and I will baptize you with 00:22:58.13\00:23:00.90 the Holy Spirit not long from now. 00:23:00.90\00:23:03.60 And 10 days later they were praying and 00:23:03.60\00:23:06.86 the Holy Spirit came upon them and got little 00:23:06.86\00:23:10.66 flames of fire on their heads right? Yeah. 00:23:10.66\00:23:15.96 Now let me use a common expression, yeah, 00:23:15.96\00:23:18.60 sometimes when the Holy Spirit comes, 00:23:18.60\00:23:20.76 the Holy Spirit can fire you up but that doesn't 00:23:20.76\00:23:27.70 always happen. Was there a flame of fire over 00:23:27.70\00:23:33.20 Paul's head when he went out to preach? 00:23:33.20\00:23:39.13 About the flame of fire and some of the others. 00:23:49.30\00:23:53.13 So sometimes the Holy Spirit you know 00:23:55.50\00:23:59.30 speaks quietly. No man controls the Holy Spirit 00:23:59.30\00:24:03.50 and can say, okay, because there is so much 00:24:03.50\00:24:06.63 power it is the Holy Spirit, not necessarily. 00:24:06.63\00:24:12.06 Sometimes the Holy Spirit works very quietly. 00:24:12.06\00:24:16.26 I'm gonna share a story or two with you 00:24:16.26\00:24:18.76 in a minute. We don't control the Holy Spirit, 00:24:18.76\00:24:23.70 yeah, and then of course when he come to 00:24:23.70\00:24:26.50 Act the 8th chapter and the Holy Spirit says 00:24:26.50\00:24:30.50 to Philip okay, I want you to go down and 00:24:30.50\00:24:33.76 there is this Ethiopian treasurer I need, 00:24:33.76\00:24:36.36 he is reading the Bible and he doesn't understand 00:24:36.36\00:24:38.36 it and so I wants you to help him understand 00:24:38.36\00:24:40.93 you know the story, yeah. He went down there 00:24:40.93\00:24:46.60 and of course the Eunuch was reading from Isaiah. 00:24:46.60\00:24:50.10 Who is Isaiah talking about? Okay, Philip 00:24:50.10\00:24:55.73 helped him. He was baptized. 00:24:55.73\00:24:59.73 Then it says, the spirit caught Philip up, yes, 00:24:59.73\00:25:04.06 and took him to another city, right, and he 00:25:04.06\00:25:09.26 preached all up the coast, all the way up 00:25:09.26\00:25:12.30 to Caesarea. Now some of you already know 00:25:12.30\00:25:16.80 that during world war II, I was caught in the 00:25:16.80\00:25:19.06 concentration camp or labor camp. 00:25:19.06\00:25:21.66 Concentration camps, labor camps, 00:25:21.66\00:25:23.66 the end result is the same. 00:25:23.66\00:25:26.03 Somebody says they were in a concentration camp, 00:25:26.03\00:25:28.76 yeah, they will have a number tattooed 00:25:28.76\00:25:30.70 on their arm. And it was usually the gas chamber. 00:25:30.70\00:25:35.36 But with labor camp the end result as they say 00:25:35.36\00:25:39.10 is the same, okay, they work you to death. 00:25:39.10\00:25:43.86 And I was up in labor camp, first of all up in 00:25:46.96\00:25:51.30 near Konigs Wusterhausen near Berlin, 00:25:51.30\00:25:53.90 which was a sub camp and then transferred 00:25:53.90\00:25:57.50 to Leipzig, okay. And what happened there 00:25:57.50\00:26:06.50 I will never know for sure in a certain way. 00:26:06.50\00:26:12.06 When we got to Leipzig suddenly I found myself 00:26:13.90\00:26:18.96 outside the gates, outside the enclosure 00:26:18.96\00:26:25.06 and nobody around. Now in the book it say yes, 00:26:25.06\00:26:29.93 I escaped and yeah, in general sense that's true. 00:26:29.93\00:26:34.10 But the specifics which I'm sharing with you 00:26:36.00\00:26:39.70 I suddenly found myself outside the enclosure 00:26:39.70\00:26:44.73 and nobody around. After I became a Christian 00:26:44.73\00:26:52.33 and studied the Bible I said, you know I wondered 00:26:54.23\00:26:56.80 whether that was the Holy Spirit. 00:26:56.80\00:26:58.76 Just picking me up and putting me outside. 00:26:58.76\00:27:04.20 And looking back, yes, I know. 00:27:09.23\00:27:11.80 Sometimes the Holy Spirit works very quietly. 00:27:13.50\00:27:17.43 And after I, after I found myself outside 00:27:24.16\00:27:26.90 I took off and made my way to my grandfather's 00:27:26.90\00:27:30.43 farm where I had lived until the war kicked in. 00:27:30.43\00:27:36.73 My grandfather had opposed Hitler coming 00:27:38.80\00:27:41.73 to power. He had been in Jail. 00:27:41.73\00:27:44.60 And when he saw me and he was just thrilled 00:27:46.16\00:27:50.86 and oh was it good to get a good meal, 00:27:50.86\00:27:54.36 good farm meal, let me tell you and then 00:27:54.36\00:27:58.66 he turned to me he called me son, he said son; 00:27:58.66\00:28:01.40 you have to turn yourself in, 00:28:01.40\00:28:04.23 because if they find out that I'm harboring you, 00:28:06.80\00:28:10.53 I'm gone. You know what that's like? 00:28:10.53\00:28:16.00 Son, you have to turn yourself in, and I did. 00:28:17.86\00:28:22.63 And I was shipped down to Buchenbach near 00:28:24.26\00:28:26.63 Nuremberg and we worked in an ammunitions 00:28:26.63\00:28:30.66 factory 12 hours a day. For breakfast a cup 00:28:30.66\00:28:35.40 of black coffee and one slice of bread, that's it. 00:28:35.40\00:28:39.10 At noon time a bowl of watery soup, 00:28:39.10\00:28:43.00 literally watery soup, two slices of bread, 00:28:43.00\00:28:47.50 in the evening a cup of black coffee and a slice 00:28:47.50\00:28:50.86 of bread and that was it. I saw many faint 00:28:50.86\00:28:55.80 and they carried them out and I never saw 00:28:55.80\00:28:58.60 them again. And then I came back to this country. 00:28:58.60\00:29:06.10 I was only, I was 17 years old, only 5 foot tall, 00:29:06.10\00:29:12.16 weighed only about 85 or 90 pounds. 00:29:12.16\00:29:16.00 Got home, when that troop transport and some 00:29:17.60\00:29:23.46 of us who were rescued came back and that troop 00:29:23.46\00:29:29.20 transport came into New York harbor and I saw 00:29:29.20\00:29:32.60 that statue of liberty standing there with that 00:29:32.60\00:29:35.80 torch held high. I had chills from the top of my 00:29:35.80\00:29:39.73 head to the bottom of my feet, okay, I was 00:29:39.73\00:29:43.86 ready to kiss the ground, home free, home free, 00:29:43.86\00:29:49.03 home free. Amen. You never know what freedom 00:29:49.03\00:29:53.50 is until you don't have it. Brothers and sisters, 00:29:53.50\00:29:57.60 Jesus Christ has set us free. Amen. 00:29:57.60\00:30:00.86 And the Holy Spirit, we can go on down and talk 00:30:09.00\00:30:11.40 about the fruits of the Holy Spirit. 00:30:11.40\00:30:14.16 Galatians the 5th chapter as you know, 00:30:14.16\00:30:18.00 fruits of the spirit what, love, joy, peace, 00:30:20.80\00:30:25.93 longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 00:30:25.93\00:30:29.86 right, yes. As I said in a minute ago Paul even 00:30:29.86\00:30:35.06 though he preached strongly there was no fire 00:30:35.06\00:30:38.03 on the top of his head. How about Cornelius? 00:30:38.03\00:30:42.73 He did kind deeds quietly done and he 00:30:44.96\00:30:49.70 received what? The Holy Spirit. 00:30:49.70\00:30:52.63 You see the qualities that it talks about, 00:30:53.86\00:30:57.40 the fruit that it talks about that the Holy 00:30:57.40\00:31:00.06 Spirit wants to give you his qualities. 00:31:00.06\00:31:09.30 How can he give you something he doesn't 00:31:09.30\00:31:11.26 have? The Holy Spirit is a God of joy, 00:31:11.26\00:31:17.40 the God of peace and longsuffering, 00:31:17.40\00:31:21.50 the God of gentleness, the God of goodness. 00:31:21.50\00:31:24.40 The Holy Spirit is your friend. Jesus is your 00:31:24.40\00:31:29.80 older brother. He has the same nature you do. 00:31:29.80\00:31:36.30 But the Holy Spirit, yes, is your friend and guide 00:31:36.30\00:31:42.20 and leads you, yes. Then of course we come on 00:31:42.20\00:31:47.63 down and we look at the end time. 00:31:47.63\00:31:51.30 And he says, yes, in the end of the Holy Spirit 00:31:51.30\00:31:55.20 will pour out where the Lord will pour out his 00:31:55.20\00:31:57.80 Holy Spirit upon you. Your old men shall 00:31:57.80\00:32:01.23 dream dreams or young men shall see visions, 00:32:01.23\00:32:03.76 right, yes. Pour out your Holy Spirit. 00:32:03.76\00:32:07.66 Let me share a story with you. 00:32:07.66\00:32:09.90 We were missionaries in Africa. 00:32:09.90\00:32:11.66 I went down and I held the meetings in the 00:32:11.66\00:32:15.96 city Gaborone, which is right on the outskirts 00:32:15.96\00:32:19.86 of the Kalahari desert. There was a man there 00:32:19.86\00:32:25.36 called Sikuba. The people who are living in the 00:32:25.36\00:32:29.40 Kalahari desert are not what you would 00:32:29.40\00:32:32.56 call little people I don't know, medium people, 00:32:32.56\00:32:36.80 about 4 feet at the most right. 00:32:36.80\00:32:42.36 And go out hunting, looking for stray animals. 00:32:43.96\00:32:50.93 They know where to find ostrich eggs and 00:32:53.36\00:32:58.50 they take, put a little hole, make a little hole, 00:32:58.50\00:33:04.33 take something and make a little hole there okay. 00:33:04.33\00:33:08.50 And then they gave a little straw whatever 00:33:08.50\00:33:13.26 they can find, go in there and suck out the 00:33:13.26\00:33:16.70 ingredients of the egg. And then they can take 00:33:16.70\00:33:22.80 that straw or whatever they find and put it right 00:33:22.80\00:33:28.40 down in the ground and they know where to find 00:33:28.40\00:33:31.40 a little bit of water that drop at the time and 00:33:31.40\00:33:35.10 they fill that egg and they cover it up. 00:33:35.10\00:33:39.23 There is a little pitcher whatever from a little 00:33:39.23\00:33:42.93 tree and they burry that egg in the sand 00:33:42.93\00:33:47.33 and they can find that egg. 00:33:47.33\00:33:50.86 The wind may blow over it but they know exactly 00:33:52.70\00:33:55.03 where that egg is. And Sikuba was out and he 00:33:55.03\00:33:59.06 was yes forging and tried to get some food 00:33:59.06\00:34:02.43 for the family. And toward evening he was 00:34:02.43\00:34:08.86 tired and sat down under a little bush, 00:34:08.86\00:34:13.56 looked up at the stars and he was wondering 00:34:13.56\00:34:19.46 you know how did those stars come? 00:34:19.46\00:34:22.90 Where did they come from? 00:34:22.90\00:34:24.66 And he fell asleep and he had a dream and 00:34:24.66\00:34:30.70 in the dream an angel appeared to him and 00:34:30.70\00:34:33.80 said Sikuba, you want to know where the stars 00:34:33.80\00:34:36.93 came from? Yes. All these lights in the sky, 00:34:36.93\00:34:41.70 yes, let me tell you; when he told him about 00:34:41.70\00:34:46.93 the God, the great creator. There is God, 00:34:46.93\00:34:55.10 the creator who made them all. 00:34:55.10\00:34:57.23 All this he has made, yes. 00:34:57.23\00:34:59.63 Then he told about God had a son. 00:34:59.63\00:35:03.56 And how man was created. Oh, but then 00:35:05.10\00:35:11.20 men sinned and turned against the God who 00:35:11.20\00:35:15.06 made him. You know you put somebody's things 00:35:15.06\00:35:20.36 in simple language, it really hits doesn't it? 00:35:20.36\00:35:23.30 The man turned against the God who made him. 00:35:23.30\00:35:29.10 Oh, no, he couldn't believe this. 00:35:29.10\00:35:33.26 A little story of the crucifixion, no, well, 00:35:35.86\00:35:44.20 after that dream I can't tell you the whole story, 00:35:44.20\00:35:47.03 yes, Sikuba went back home. Eventually he was 00:35:47.03\00:35:51.40 led to the Seventh-day Adventist mission, yes, 00:35:51.40\00:35:54.60 he was baptized. Again his family became one 00:35:54.60\00:35:58.06 of the, started the church became elder 00:35:58.06\00:36:02.16 there in one of the churches. 00:36:02.16\00:36:04.10 God has His people, doesn't He? 00:36:04.10\00:36:07.90 God has His people and the Holy Spirit 00:36:07.90\00:36:09.73 works quietly. Let me share another story 00:36:09.73\00:36:12.36 with you, a recent one. Carol Fatibom is the wife 00:36:12.36\00:36:18.00 of one of our history teacher at Southern. 00:36:18.00\00:36:21.10 She had just recently came down with colon cancer, 00:36:21.10\00:36:26.46 had surgery, needs more treatments and she was 00:36:26.46\00:36:33.80 scheduled with her husband to go on a 00:36:33.80\00:36:36.76 trip to the Middle East last May. 00:36:36.76\00:36:41.16 And she prayed to the Lord, that Lord please 00:36:42.36\00:36:44.40 have these symptoms go away. 00:36:44.40\00:36:46.50 I sure would like go to Jerusalem. 00:36:46.50\00:36:49.03 The Lord lessened the symptoms so she was 00:36:49.03\00:36:54.40 able to go. After the trip the symptoms came 00:36:54.40\00:37:00.30 back fully and she has to have treatments. 00:37:00.30\00:37:03.70 But when she shared with me as I prayed with her, 00:37:03.70\00:37:06.80 she shared with me her experience. 00:37:06.80\00:37:09.60 She said, Lord please help me because there 00:37:09.60\00:37:11.90 were forty, forty of our people there from 00:37:11.90\00:37:15.73 Collegedale who went.

In the end time and this lady 00:37:30.46\00:37:34.20 asked her what she thought about the antichrist. 00:37:34.20\00:37:38.16 Now as a Catholic lady, now how do you answer 00:37:38.16\00:37:41.30 that question right.

Well, yes, oh, she said, I keep the 00:38:56.50\00:39:02.00 Sabbath too. Oh, well, she said that someone 00:39:02.00\00:39:07.10 handed me a card and it had the Ten Commandments 00:39:07.10\00:39:12.30 on it and I read them and I came to the fourth one. 00:39:12.30\00:39:18.23 And I thought now wait a minute. 00:39:18.23\00:39:20.30 This is this lady talking now, wait a minute. 00:39:20.30\00:39:23.20 How come we go to church on the first day? 00:39:23.20\00:39:28.06 And she said, so I went on the Internet, right. 00:39:28.06\00:39:33.70 Now this lady is not a Seventh-day Baptist, 00:39:33.70\00:39:36.40 general Baptist and went on the Internet 00:39:36.40\00:39:40.00 and found out, okay, more about the Sabbath 00:39:40.00\00:39:42.83 and of course you know how it was changed 00:39:42.83\00:39:45.43 from Saturday to Sunday and so on, so forth. 00:39:45.43\00:39:48.46 And she shared with her husband. 00:39:48.46\00:39:49.93 Her husband said, now wait a minute. 00:39:49.93\00:39:52.13 I mean this, you know, I mean the church 00:39:52.13\00:39:54.90 has been around a long time, the church knows 00:39:54.90\00:39:58.06 what it's doing. But she persisted, found out 00:39:58.06\00:40:04.70 more information persisted. 00:40:04.70\00:40:06.60 So finally the husband said, okay, well, I want 00:40:06.60\00:40:11.13 to read it for myself. So he took a quick short 00:40:11.13\00:40:14.36 course in reading Hebrew. Then he went and read 00:40:14.36\00:40:20.60 Hebrew and he went through his wife and he said, 00:40:20.60\00:40:22.63 yeah, you know that's true, the Sabbath and so 00:40:22.63\00:40:27.40 he start keeping the Sabbath and you know 00:40:27.40\00:40:30.86 how they keep it. And she was sharing this 00:40:30.86\00:40:34.46 with Carol and she said that, so Carol said, 00:40:34.46\00:40:38.20 well, how many of you are there? 00:40:38.20\00:40:39.46 You and your husband oh, no we share it 00:40:39.46\00:40:40.96 with others. Well, how many others are there? 00:40:40.96\00:40:43.36 You know, ten, twelve, oh, no more than that. 00:40:43.36\00:40:46.83 You know Facebook and Internet knowledge, 00:40:46.83\00:40:50.80 how many of you are there? Oh, well, fifty! 00:40:50.80\00:40:55.20 Oh, no more. Ah, hundred! Oh, no more than that. 00:40:55.20\00:41:00.90 Maybe five hundred, oh, no more than that. 00:41:00.90\00:41:04.70 A thousand oh, no, more than that. How many? 00:41:06.33\00:41:11.50 Ten thousand. Brother and sisters, the Holy 00:41:11.50\00:41:17.43 Spirit is quietly working whether we work with 00:41:17.43\00:41:23.00 him or not. The Holy Spirit is working and the 00:41:23.00\00:41:29.10 Holy Spirit is eager to finish the work and come 00:41:29.10\00:41:33.66 whether powerfully show or quietly show. 00:41:33.66\00:41:38.86 Then of course as we look at the end time yes, 00:41:38.86\00:41:41.86 the spirit of course has been poured out. 00:41:41.86\00:41:44.80 In Ephesians 4 says, you know, 00:41:44.80\00:41:48.00 the Lord has also given us the gift of prophecy 00:41:48.00\00:41:50.93 that we be not more what? No more tossed 00:41:50.93\00:41:54.13 to and fro by every wind of doctrine, yes. 00:41:54.13\00:42:01.10 Moved by the Holy Spirit, yes, and so we have 00:42:01.10\00:42:05.13 the spirit of prophecy, the gift of prophecy 00:42:05.13\00:42:08.46 amongst us. In Revelation 12:17, right 19:10, 00:42:08.46\00:42:13.26 here are they that keep the commandments of God, 00:42:13.26\00:42:15.90 and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 00:42:15.90\00:42:18.50 And in Revelation 19:10 the testimony of Jesus 00:42:18.50\00:42:21.53 Christ is what? The spirit of prophecy. 00:42:21.53\00:42:24.90 But when you go to Zachariah 7 verse 12, 00:42:24.90\00:42:28.86 it says, when they didn't listen to the prophets 00:42:28.86\00:42:33.00 and didn't listen to the Holy Spirit, okay, 00:42:33.00\00:42:36.30 that the Lord was not pleased with them. 00:42:36.30\00:42:41.10 It's a question of the Holy Spirit; are we 00:42:45.73\00:42:48.73 listening, are we paying attention? Yes, 00:42:48.73\00:42:53.86 and in the last days, Jude 17:19, Samuel 00:42:53.86\00:42:58.40 come who do not have the spirit, yes. 00:42:58.40\00:43:02.30 Oh you go through the seven churches in 00:43:02.30\00:43:04.53 Revelation what does it say? He that have an ear, 00:43:04.53\00:43:07.40 let them hear to what the spirits says, okay. 00:43:07.40\00:43:14.06 And that includes the gift of the spirit 00:43:16.53\00:43:20.16 of prophecy. Amen. Then First John 4:1 00:43:20.16\00:43:27.30 it says, test the spirit. How do we 00:43:27.30\00:43:29.30 test the spirit? We test it by, by the word of God, 00:43:29.30\00:43:35.86 okay. The spirit of prophecy is tested 00:43:35.86\00:43:39.16 by the word. The spirits are tested by the word, 00:43:39.16\00:43:43.63 yes. Then Zachariah not by might nor by power 00:43:43.63\00:43:47.83 but by my spirits says the Lord. But let's not 00:43:47.83\00:43:52.36 focus on power because we are also told that 00:43:52.36\00:43:58.43 the Holy Spirit could be quietly falling on 00:43:58.43\00:44:03.00 the person next to you sitting in the same pew 00:44:03.00\00:44:06.73 in church and you won't even know it. 00:44:06.73\00:44:09.96 And that's why we have the invitation so that 00:44:14.80\00:44:18.10 the Holy Spirit will be poured out to every 00:44:18.10\00:44:22.63 one grass in the field it says in Zachariah. 00:44:22.63\00:44:27.16 How, how is grass watered? Gently by 00:44:27.16\00:44:34.53 dew right, also by rain but also gently by dew, 00:44:34.53\00:44:39.46 every one grass in the field. Then we have the 00:44:39.46\00:44:43.86 appeal of the Holy Spirit, of course, 00:44:43.86\00:44:46.36 in Revelation 22, right. And the spirit and the 00:44:46.36\00:44:50.30 bride say what? Come, yes. 00:44:50.30\00:44:53.83 And he who hears let him, he who hears let 00:44:53.83\00:44:59.33 him come and whosoever is thirsty let him come 00:44:59.33\00:45:06.60 and drink of the water of life freely. 00:45:06.60\00:45:10.16 You know, when you look at Father and the Son 00:45:14.46\00:45:18.10 in the Holy Spirit, three person with feelings, 00:45:18.10\00:45:25.33 with emotions, and let's be careful, we don't 00:45:25.33\00:45:32.86 think that when we feel the presence of the 00:45:32.86\00:45:36.90 Holy Spirit that the Holy Spirit is 00:45:36.90\00:45:40.43 actually there. Today in our culture there 00:45:40.43\00:45:45.50 is so much emphasis on feeling. 00:45:45.50\00:45:49.06 If I feel this, if I have this experience 00:45:49.06\00:45:55.83 and I feel this then I know brothers and sisters, 00:45:55.83\00:46:00.90 that is a great deception. 00:46:00.90\00:46:02.83 The Holy Spirit's presence will never leave you 00:46:02.83\00:46:08.90 or forsake you. He is always by your side 00:46:08.90\00:46:13.60 unless you turn against Him, right. 00:46:13.60\00:46:16.66 You may feel good or not feel good. 00:46:16.66\00:46:24.13 You may feel His presence or not feel His presence 00:46:24.13\00:46:29.06 but His presence is there, He will never leave you 00:46:29.06\00:46:34.40 nor forsake you. That's hard to 00:46:34.40\00:46:39.20 remember sometimes, isn't it? When we get to 00:46:39.20\00:46:47.16 heaven we will meet our Father who will hug us, 00:46:47.16\00:46:56.86 welcome us home like Father welcomed the 00:46:56.86\00:47:01.63 prodigal right. Remember what we said 00:47:01.63\00:47:04.63 Thursday day night. The Father fell on his neck; 00:47:04.63\00:47:11.13 what does that mean? He hugged him and 00:47:11.13\00:47:14.86 He kissed him and there were tears of 00:47:14.86\00:47:17.83 joy in his eye. And the Bible says you're gonna 00:47:17.83\00:47:24.23 meet your Father face to face. 00:47:24.23\00:47:26.93 He is gonna put His arm around you and say 00:47:28.46\00:47:31.90 welcome home son, welcome home daughter. 00:47:31.90\00:47:35.06 Can you imagine feeling not just being welcome 00:47:35.06\00:47:41.50 but feeling a hug, getting a hug from God 00:47:41.50\00:47:46.93 and being kissed on the cheek and tears 00:47:46.93\00:47:52.00 streaming down, tears of joy, welcome home, 00:47:52.00\00:47:55.96 welcome home. And how about Jesus when 00:47:55.96\00:48:04.63 He welcomes us? Oh, yes, it says, He will 00:48:04.63\00:48:08.10 put crowns on our head, right. 00:48:08.10\00:48:09.86 Smile at us, welcome. Do you think He is gonna 00:48:09.86\00:48:13.73 not give us a hug. Well, I can't imagine, 00:48:13.73\00:48:17.40 now may take a long time but we've got 00:48:17.40\00:48:20.13 lots of time. Amen. Well, I don't care whether 00:48:20.13\00:48:24.13 I am one thousands in line. It doesn't make 00:48:24.13\00:48:27.90 any difference. So we get our hug from our 00:48:27.90\00:48:32.70 Heavenly Father, from our Father. 00:48:32.70\00:48:34.46 We get a hug from our older brother and 00:48:34.46\00:48:37.83 you will get a hug from your friend. Amen. 00:48:37.83\00:48:42.96 The Holy Spirit is a person and as a personality 00:48:42.96\00:48:46.56 you think he is just gonna standby and watch. 00:48:46.56\00:48:50.33 He is also going to reach out and give you a hug. 00:48:53.00\00:48:55.90 Welcome home, praise the Lord. 00:48:55.90\00:49:02.00 I mean what a wonderful family we belong to, 00:49:02.00\00:49:06.23 a royal family.
