Well we're just having
a wonderful time already,
00:00:46.39\00:00:49.05
and our second
program already! Yeah.
00:00:49.25\00:00:51.46
Amen! Time flies when you're
being blessed, doesn't it?
00:00:51.66\00:00:56.11
It really does.
And you've noticed that
00:00:56.31\00:00:59.21
we have added someone -
Mollie Sue, that's right -
00:00:59.41\00:01:03.01
to our group here. And
Mollie, what's going on?
00:01:03.21\00:01:07.06
A lot of good
things... 3ABN Camp Meeting!
00:01:07.16\00:01:09.66
That's what's going on.
Spring Camp Meeting, right?
00:01:09.87\00:01:12.29
And Mollie, what are
we going to be doing?
00:01:12.40\00:01:13.99
What's the folks
that's here and those at home
00:01:14.09\00:01:16.25
got in store for tomorrow?
00:01:16.35\00:01:17.54
Well once we get you here we
don't think you ought to have
00:01:17.74\00:01:20.03
any time to do
anything but stay in God's Word.
00:01:20.13\00:01:22.79
So to the best of our ability
we've got something planned
00:01:22.99\00:01:25.86
just every hour that we can.
00:01:26.07\00:01:28.01
And so tonight, of
course, we have two more hours.
00:01:28.21\00:01:31.82
And then we hope
you go and get some rest
00:01:32.02\00:01:34.50
and then are back
out here bright and early
00:01:34.70\00:01:36.42
at 8 o'clock in the
morning for breakfast.
00:01:36.52\00:01:38.39
You can get your meal tickets...
I know some of these folk.
00:01:38.59\00:01:41.87
There's no way they're going
to be here at 8 in the morning.
00:01:41.97\00:01:43.83
Oh yes you are! Can
they come at nine if they...
00:01:44.03\00:01:46.48
If you have to come at nine -
OK - I guess you can. All right.
00:01:46.58\00:01:48.94
At 9 o'clock, though,
we start out with seminars.
00:01:49.14\00:01:51.92
We have seminars...
four seminars tomorrow
00:01:52.12\00:01:55.61
every hour and a half.
And so the first one is
00:01:55.71\00:01:59.22
9 o'clock in the morning.
How many of you will be here
00:01:59.32\00:02:01.48
at 9 o'clock in the morning?
I want you to just look at that!
00:02:01.58\00:02:04.20
I see that... OK. You'll
get out here bright and early
00:02:04.40\00:02:07.55
in the morning. And
that's going to be Jay Rosario
00:02:07.65\00:02:10.32
"Preparing Your Home For
The Second Coming - Part 1. "
00:02:10.53\00:02:14.12
Now this is tomorrow.
Friday it's identically the same
00:02:14.35\00:02:17.87
so I'm not going to
go over Friday's seminars
00:02:18.07\00:02:20.02
because they're the
same as tomorrow... part 2.
00:02:20.22\00:02:21.96
Different subjects but
same people. Right. OK.
00:02:22.06\00:02:24.72
OK. And then at 10:30
in the morning we have
00:02:24.92\00:02:28.86
James Rafferty -
"Prophetic Waymarks - Part 1. "
00:02:29.06\00:02:32.14
And so what does that
mean's going to happen on Friday
00:02:32.24\00:02:34.28
morning at
10:30? Part 2. Part 2.
00:02:34.38\00:02:36.54
See. Ya'll get it.
00:02:36.74\00:02:38.11
OK. Then at noon
tomorrow Stephen Bohr
00:02:38.21\00:02:41.27
with "God's Omniscient Sword. "
00:02:41.47\00:02:43.74
And then at 2:30 tomorrow
afternoon Hiram Rester -
00:02:43.94\00:02:48.17
"Genesis Pillars of
Revelation's Prophecies. "
00:02:48.37\00:02:51.31
So don't we have an
incredible day - Amen -
00:02:51.51\00:02:54.51
already prepared for
tomorrow? We sure do.
00:02:54.61\00:02:56.57
And tomorrow night we start this
all over again, don't we Danny?
00:02:56.67\00:02:59.25
We do. And tomorrow night we
have Reggie and Ladye Love Smith
00:02:59.35\00:03:02.93
I think's going to be here -
yeah - doing music for us too.
00:03:03.13\00:03:05.71
That's right. Well it's
just a wonderful time together.
00:03:05.92\00:03:09.45
And I was... I just cannot
believe the number of people
00:03:09.65\00:03:12.56
here on Wednesday night already.
00:03:12.66\00:03:14.09
This means that this
weekend you have to come early
00:03:14.29\00:03:17.51
to get your seat. You'd
better come early is right.
00:03:17.61\00:03:19.76
Because whenever we have
this large a group on Wednesday
00:03:19.96\00:03:23.49
night it's going to
really be a big weekend.
00:03:23.59\00:03:26.02
And we're
looking forward to that.
00:03:26.12\00:03:27.44
And wow, Danny, it
really kind of overwhelms me
00:03:27.64\00:03:32.32
because we're
already using overflow and...
00:03:32.52\00:03:35.29
We've got some big
walls we can move out there
00:03:35.52\00:03:38.59
and we can make a
lot more room for folks.
00:03:38.69\00:03:40.52
So if you're
watching in the local area
00:03:40.62\00:03:42.81
we invite you to come.
Yes! And we want you to be here
00:03:42.84\00:03:46.19
with us this weekend. So, many
of you when we go into Wal-Marts
00:03:46.29\00:03:49.78
and stores all around they say:
"We love 3ABN; we watch it. "
00:03:49.88\00:03:53.18
Well we want you to come
out and meet some of our other
00:03:53.29\00:03:55.69
brothers and sisters here
and some of your brothers and
00:03:55.79\00:03:57.84
sisters from around the
world here at 3ABN Camp Meeting.
00:03:57.94\00:04:01.22
Spring Camp Meeting. Yes.
00:04:01.42\00:04:02.99
Jim, we have some
great music tonight. We do!
00:04:03.29\00:04:05.86
And, you know, music
is... I guess it's in the eye
00:04:06.06\00:04:09.14
or ears of the
beholder. But to me what makes
00:04:09.25\00:04:12.25
great music is when it
number 1 uplifts the Lord
00:04:12.35\00:04:15.50
Jesus Christ and when
the artist who's singing
00:04:15.70\00:04:18.27
uplifts the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:04:18.47\00:04:19.99
Music shouldn't be about self.
00:04:20.19\00:04:21.92
It should be
about lifting up God.
00:04:22.06\00:04:24.28
And I know Allison Speer.
00:04:24.49\00:04:27.21
I've known her
for a number of years.
00:04:27.31\00:04:28.78
And Allison and her husband
Brian... they're so dedicated
00:04:28.98\00:04:31.61
to the Lord's
work. And not only that,
00:04:31.82\00:04:34.52
but then they have a special
gift. If she chose, she could be
00:04:34.63\00:04:37.56
using this gift anywhere in
the world that she wanted to.
00:04:37.66\00:04:39.92
But Allison has said:
"I'm going to use my gifts
00:04:40.12\00:04:43.56
and Brian... we're going
to use the talents and gifts
00:04:43.76\00:04:45.98
God has given us to uplift and
magnify and glorify His name. "
00:04:46.08\00:04:50.17
So we're going to ask
her to come out at this time.
00:04:50.37\00:04:52.52
And Allison, last time we
gave you one song, but today -
00:04:52.72\00:04:55.99
tonight - this
is yours now, right?
00:04:56.09\00:04:57.94
So... How nice! How
nice. So as long as you want...
00:04:58.14\00:05:01.08
As long as you're
done in 30 minutes
00:05:01.29\00:05:02.97
you can take all you want. OK.
00:05:03.08\00:05:05.78
The rest of the night if
you want as long as you...
00:05:05.91\00:05:08.23
No, she's got it all
planned. She's got the songs
00:05:08.43\00:05:11.25
and ready to go.
And your husband Brian,
00:05:11.35\00:05:13.11
he's taking care
of you, isn't he? Yes.
00:05:13.31\00:05:15.08
He's gettin' your
songs all lined out for you.
00:05:15.28\00:05:17.04
He's got them all ready.
00:05:17.24\00:05:18.30
Thank you for being
here. It's been a while.
00:05:18.50\00:05:20.34
And you know we love you
and we've had some great times.
00:05:20.54\00:05:23.84
I've had the
privilege of traveling with her
00:05:23.94\00:05:25.74
family and your
mother-in-law Faye. Yes.
00:05:25.84\00:05:28.28
You know, let me tell
you: Faye is doing good.
00:05:28.48\00:05:31.02
She just came home
from a rehab facility.
00:05:31.22\00:05:34.24
She fell and broke her
right arm in six places
00:05:34.54\00:05:38.50
and her hip in two places.
00:05:38.71\00:05:41.23
And the night before she
was going to come home from that
00:05:41.43\00:05:44.34
after about five
weeks she fell again
00:05:44.44\00:05:47.14
and broke her left
arm. She is home right now
00:05:47.34\00:05:50.53
and watching. Good. So
we'll say "Hello. Hi Mom! "
00:05:50.73\00:05:55.14
"Ms. Faye... Mom... we
love you. We really do. "
00:05:55.24\00:05:57.73
And hopefully next time - and
maybe even Fall Camp Meeting -
00:05:58.88\00:06:01.73
you can come and join
us. Yeah, that'd be good.
00:06:01.94\00:06:03.81
Thank you,
Allison. Thank you Danny.
00:06:04.01\00:06:05.42
Sometimes I feel like
I'm just walking around
00:06:14.50\00:06:18.28
with my head up in the clouds.
00:06:18.58\00:06:21.51
I'm steady movin' but
I'm not gaining ground...
00:06:22.41\00:06:26.53
heading the
wrong way in a crowd.
00:06:26.63\00:06:30.25
Then I remember I'm
not part of this world...
00:06:30.38\00:06:34.39
I'm moving higher each day.
00:06:34.42\00:06:38.26
Upward mobility
sounds mighty good to me
00:06:38.46\00:06:42.15
I just can't wait to get away.
00:06:42.35\00:06:46.31
Have to remember
I'm not here to stay
00:06:46.61\00:06:50.51
I'm lookin'
forward to a brighter day
00:06:50.71\00:06:54.18
Got to remember
I'm not here for long
00:06:54.48\00:06:58.09
I'm just living
in my temporary home.
00:06:58.29\00:07:02.55
Oh... if you are bothered
by the problems of life,
00:07:17.57\00:07:22.04
Don't you let 'em get you down.
00:07:22.34\00:07:25.85
Just look to Jesus...
you will not be denied.
00:07:26.25\00:07:30.48
He'll move you
up to higher ground.
00:07:30.68\00:07:34.37
Don't you forget that
you're a child of the King;
00:07:34.67\00:07:38.30
that you're an
heir to His throne.
00:07:38.50\00:07:42.45
You may not know just
when He's coming back again
00:07:42.75\00:07:46.47
to take us to our happy home.
00:07:46.58\00:07:50.42
Got to remember
I'm not here to stay
00:07:50.62\00:07:54.19
I'm lookin'
forward to a brighter day
00:07:54.39\00:07:58.15
Got to remember
I'm not here for long
00:07:58.45\00:08:02.06
I'm just living
in my temporary home.
00:08:02.26\00:08:06.40
Got to remember
I'm not here to stay
00:08:06.61\00:08:10.06
I'm looking
forward to a brighter day
00:08:10.26\00:08:14.45
Got to remember
I'm not here for long
00:08:14.66\00:08:18.23
I'm just livin'
in my temporary home.
00:08:18.43\00:08:21.79
Whoa, I'm just
livin' in my temporary home.
00:08:22.09\00:08:26.79
Amen.
00:08:28.56\00:08:30.35
Hey, listen to
this voice if you will.
00:08:30.65\00:08:32.69
This is my
father-in-law, Brock Speer.
00:08:32.99\00:08:35.94
Oh how well I remember
00:08:36.14\00:08:40.59
in the old fashioned days
00:08:41.70\00:08:46.74
When some old-fashioned people
00:08:47.14\00:08:52.20
had some old-fashioned ways.
00:08:52.40\00:08:57.86
In the old-fashioned meeting
00:08:58.16\00:09:03.11
as they tarried there
00:09:03.41\00:09:09.36
In the old-fashioned
00:09:10.29\00:09:14.43
manner
00:09:14.54\00:09:16.80
how God answered their
00:09:17.10\00:09:23.02
prayer. Isn't
that voice wonderful?
00:09:23.22\00:09:26.24
The best bass
singer in the world.
00:09:26.44\00:09:29.29
Lord, I have a heavy burden
00:09:33.62\00:09:37.28
of all I've seen and know.
00:09:37.48\00:09:39.84
It's more than I can handle.
00:09:39.94\00:09:42.63
Oh, but Your Word
is burning like a fire
00:09:42.83\00:09:47.76
shut up in my bones.
00:09:47.96\00:09:50.34
I can't let it go.
00:09:50.54\00:09:53.35
And when I'm
weary and overwrought
00:09:53.55\00:09:58.75
with so many
battles left unfought
00:09:58.88\00:10:03.82
I think of Paul and
Silas in the prison yard.
00:10:04.02\00:10:09.10
I hear their song of
freedom rising to the stars.
00:10:09.24\00:10:14.42
And when the
saints go marching in
00:10:14.43\00:10:20.00
I want to be one of them.
00:10:20.20\00:10:24.07
Lord, this burden that I carry
00:10:25.65\00:10:29.44
I cannot leave behind.
00:10:29.64\00:10:31.95
But it all can overwhelm me.
00:10:32.15\00:10:34.90
But when I think of
all who've gone before
00:10:35.10\00:10:39.69
and lived a faithful life
00:10:39.89\00:10:42.27
their courage compels me.
00:10:42.47\00:10:45.65
And when I'm
weary and overwrought
00:10:45.85\00:10:51.12
with so many
battles left unfought
00:10:51.32\00:10:56.10
I think of Paul and
Silas in the prison yard.
00:10:56.30\00:11:01.21
I hear their song of
freedom rising to the stars.
00:11:01.41\00:11:06.59
I see the shepherd
Moses in Pharaoh's court.
00:11:06.72\00:11:11.58
I hear his call for freedom
for the people of the Lord.
00:11:11.71\00:11:17.00
And when the
saints go marching in
00:11:17.20\00:11:22.47
I want to be one of them.
00:11:22.67\00:11:26.54
Yes, when the
saints go marching in
00:11:26.94\00:11:32.90
I want to be one of them.
00:11:33.20\00:11:37.39
I hear old Daniel
praying in the lion's den.
00:11:37.69\00:11:42.83
Then I see Stephen dying
00:11:43.07\00:11:46.24
with the Lord's
name on his lips.
00:11:46.34\00:11:48.13
I see the Man of Sorrow
00:11:48.14\00:11:51.48
with His long, troubled road.
00:11:51.68\00:11:53.49
I see the world on His
shoulders and my easy load.
00:11:53.59\00:11:58.76
And when the
saints go marching in
00:11:58.86\00:12:04.19
I want to be one of them.
00:12:04.39\00:12:08.05
I think of Paul and
Silas in the prison yard.
00:12:08.36\00:12:14.25
I hear their song of
freedom rising to the stars.
00:12:14.45\00:12:19.71
I see the shepherd
Moses in Pharaoh's court.
00:12:19.91\00:12:24.64
I hear his call for freedom
for the people of the Lord.
00:12:24.84\00:12:30.08
And when the saints
00:12:30.18\00:12:32.29
go marching in
00:12:32.49\00:12:37.01
I want to be one of them.
00:12:37.32\00:12:42.86
I want to be...
00:12:43.16\00:12:44.65
I want to be one of them.
00:12:44.75\00:12:50.68
Amen.
00:12:54.32\00:12:55.98
I think of all the
songs that I have to sing
00:12:57.03\00:13:00.39
this one has to be my favorite.
00:13:00.69\00:13:02.96
The word redeemed is a
precious word in my life.
00:13:03.06\00:13:08.72
I was a slave
00:13:10.92\00:13:15.39
in a foreign land.
00:13:15.59\00:13:19.16
So very far from
00:13:19.46\00:13:22.42
the Father's loving hand.
00:13:22.52\00:13:27.86
He rescued me
00:13:28.06\00:13:31.63
one glorious day.
00:13:31.83\00:13:36.12
He called me out;
00:13:36.42\00:13:38.76
paid a debt I could not pay.
00:13:38.96\00:13:44.34
I am redeemed.
00:13:44.64\00:13:48.97
I am redeemed.
00:13:49.27\00:13:53.51
Jesus loosed the chains of sin
00:13:53.72\00:13:57.64
and set me free.
00:13:57.85\00:14:01.66
I am redeemed.
00:14:01.96\00:14:05.92
I am redeemed.
00:14:06.12\00:14:10.59
Jesus loosed the chains of sin
00:14:10.89\00:14:14.52
and set me free.
00:14:14.73\00:14:20.16
Oh, but still I live
00:14:22.53\00:14:26.77
in a foreign land.
00:14:26.97\00:14:31.21
But now I'm free according to
00:14:31.51\00:14:35.85
redemption's plan.
00:14:36.05\00:14:39.95
And soon I'll join
the wrapped in white...
00:14:40.25\00:14:45.06
the redeemed
00:14:45.46\00:14:48.88
and sing a song the holy angels
00:14:49.08\00:14:53.51
cannot sing.
00:14:53.71\00:14:56.88
I am redeemed.
00:14:57.18\00:15:01.27
I am redeemed.
00:15:01.47\00:15:05.06
Jesus loosed the chains of sin
00:15:06.11\00:15:09.80
and set me free.
00:15:10.00\00:15:13.89
I am redeemed.
00:15:14.19\00:15:18.30
I am redeemed.
00:15:18.60\00:15:22.83
Jesus loosed the chains of sin
00:15:23.03\00:15:26.90
and set me free.
00:15:27.00\00:15:32.41
Some glorious morning they
shall come from every nation
00:15:33.78\00:15:37.08
and every generation.
00:15:37.38\00:15:39.44
Side by side they shall march
00:15:39.74\00:15:41.77
into the
celestial city of Jehovah
00:15:41.87\00:15:44.52
and in perfect harmony they
will begin humming a new song.
00:15:44.72\00:15:49.19
It's a song composed by God
and arranged for His people.
00:15:49.49\00:15:54.03
As the saved by grace approach
the land of their dreams
00:15:54.23\00:15:57.81
the hosts of
heaven - the holy angels -
00:15:58.01\00:15:59.93
will step aside and be silent
00:16:00.13\00:16:02.44
for they cannot
sing this new song.
00:16:02.64\00:16:04.65
It's a song reserved for
voices who once cried out
00:16:04.95\00:16:07.89
for their Redeemer, those
washed in the blood of the Lamb.
00:16:07.99\00:16:10.92
We are the redeemed!
00:16:11.23\00:16:13.22
I am redeemed
00:16:13.42\00:16:17.80
by love divine.
00:16:18.00\00:16:22.23
Glory! Glory!
00:16:22.53\00:16:26.69
Christ is mine!
00:16:26.99\00:16:29.59
He's mine!
00:16:29.79\00:16:31.22
All to Him
00:16:31.42\00:16:33.81
I now resign.
00:16:34.11\00:16:39.18
Jesus loosed the chains of sin
00:16:39.48\00:16:43.35
and set me free.
00:16:43.56\00:16:47.52
Yes, Jesus
loosed the chains of sin
00:16:47.73\00:16:51.82
and set
00:16:52.02\00:16:54.58
me free.
00:16:54.78\00:17:00.72
Amen! I am redeemed!
00:17:03.72\00:17:07.20
Isn't that a good song?
00:17:07.78\00:17:09.43
Phil Cross wrote that. I think
it's one of the finest songs.
00:17:09.63\00:17:13.99
It was... It's fairly
new - maybe ten years old -
00:17:14.19\00:17:16.79
but the Lord is
still anointing songs.
00:17:16.99\00:17:19.76
The Lord is still anointing
young song writers to write
00:17:19.96\00:17:23.76
for the body of Christ.
And we are a witness to that.
00:17:23.86\00:17:27.54
We are a witness to that.
00:17:27.74\00:17:29.43
He will have a witness in every
age, and we see that happening,
00:17:29.63\00:17:33.28
don't we? I hear a lot of
people talking about how...
00:17:33.38\00:17:36.62
what is wrong with the church.
00:17:36.82\00:17:38.22
I want to talk about
what's RIGHT with the church.
00:17:38.42\00:17:41.66
We get a lot of stuff right.
00:17:41.96\00:17:44.79
We are givers. We
bear one another's burdens.
00:17:44.99\00:17:48.59
We care for one another.
We lift one another in prayer.
00:17:48.79\00:17:52.05
We gather in peace.
We are tolerant people.
00:17:52.26\00:17:56.40
That is a gift from God.
00:17:56.60\00:17:58.48
That is not
something that we take lightly.
00:17:58.68\00:18:01.10
We are tolerant of
folks because we want to share
00:18:01.30\00:18:04.72
the love of Christ with people.
00:18:04.92\00:18:06.56
There are lots of
things right in this world.
00:18:06.76\00:18:11.23
Doesn't mean we don't go through
some struggles and trials,
00:18:11.43\00:18:16.26
but those struggles and trials
we lay at the feet of Jesus.
00:18:16.47\00:18:19.89
And we just hold on.
We hold on, right Bart?
00:18:21.07\00:18:24.60
Bart's going through a
physical trial right now.
00:18:24.91\00:18:27.65
This pain that you're
experiencing is temporary.
00:18:27.95\00:18:32.06
This is your temporary home.
00:18:32.26\00:18:34.56
And I love what Bill Gaither
says: "We are all terminal. "
00:18:34.76\00:18:39.50
That's pretty good.
"We are all terminal. "
00:18:42.02\00:18:45.15
But praise God, He
is an everlasting Lord
00:18:45.35\00:18:49.17
and He keeps His hand over us.
00:18:49.47\00:18:52.18
Guiding us; teaching
us; giving us instruction
00:18:52.38\00:18:57.44
where we need instruction...
00:18:57.64\00:18:59.19
strength where we need strength,
00:18:59.39\00:19:01.94
that incomprehensible peace
00:19:02.24\00:19:06.85
when you need peace.
00:19:07.15\00:19:09.03
In shady green pastures
00:19:11.36\00:19:16.34
so rich and so sweet
00:19:16.55\00:19:21.40
God leads His dear children
00:19:21.80\00:19:26.72
along.
00:19:27.02\00:19:30.93
Where the waters flow
00:19:31.23\00:19:35.33
by the weary one's feet
00:19:35.63\00:19:40.44
God leads His dear children
00:19:40.74\00:19:46.68
along.
00:19:46.98\00:19:50.63
Some through the water,
00:19:52.23\00:19:56.63
some through the flood.
00:19:56.94\00:20:00.73
Some through the fire,
00:20:01.13\00:20:04.90
but all through the blood.
00:20:05.20\00:20:10.32
Some through great sorrow
00:20:10.82\00:20:15.00
but God gives a song
00:20:15.30\00:20:19.19
in the night season
00:20:19.69\00:20:24.33
and all the day
00:20:24.63\00:20:28.57
long.
00:20:28.87\00:20:34.80
Sometimes on the mount
00:20:42.68\00:20:47.50
where the sun shines so bright
00:20:47.80\00:20:51.88
God leads His dear children
00:20:52.18\00:20:56.37
along.
00:20:56.77\00:20:59.45
Sometimes in the valley
00:20:59.76\00:21:03.83
in the darkest of night
00:21:04.13\00:21:07.35
God leads His dear children
00:21:07.65\00:21:12.27
along.
00:21:12.57\00:21:16.28
Some through the water,
00:21:16.58\00:21:20.65
some through the flood.
00:21:20.86\00:21:24.52
Some through the fire,
00:21:24.82\00:21:28.23
but all through
00:21:28.43\00:21:32.46
the blood.
00:21:32.66\00:21:36.75
Some through great sorrow
00:21:37.05\00:21:41.53
but God gives a song
00:21:41.83\00:21:45.94
in the night season
00:21:46.15\00:21:52.09
in
00:21:53.55\00:21:57.60
the night season
00:21:57.80\00:22:00.61
and all
00:22:00.91\00:22:05.94
the day
00:22:06.24\00:22:08.95
long.
00:22:09.80\00:22:15.74
Amen. Blessed be
the name of the Lord.
00:22:24.45\00:22:28.08
"And I saw a new
heaven and a new earth
00:22:29.70\00:22:33.51
for the first heaven and
the first earth had passed away.
00:22:33.71\00:22:36.90
And there was no more sea.
00:22:37.11\00:22:39.24
Then I, John, saw the Holy City,
00:22:39.54\00:22:42.15
a New Jerusalem, descending
out of heaven as a bride
00:22:42.35\00:22:46.44
prepared for her husband.
00:22:46.64\00:22:48.75
And I heard a loud
voice from heaven saying:
00:22:48.95\00:22:51.28
'Behold the
tabernacle of God is with men.
00:22:51.38\00:22:55.07
And He will dwell
with them and be their God
00:22:55.28\00:22:57.90
and they shall be with
Him and be His people. ' "
00:22:58.10\00:23:02.49
In this house we've built
00:23:17.43\00:23:22.72
of make believe
00:23:22.93\00:23:26.63
loved ones go long before
00:23:26.93\00:23:31.42
it seems it's time to leave.
00:23:31.62\00:23:35.95
But we learn how to give,
00:23:36.25\00:23:40.30
to forgive and receive
00:23:40.60\00:23:45.26
till we see them there
00:23:45.46\00:23:49.75
in that city.
00:23:49.95\00:23:53.29
"And He shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes.
00:23:53.49\00:23:56.37
And there shall be
no more sorrow or death
00:23:56.57\00:23:59.20
or pain... for the
former things are gone.
00:23:59.40\00:24:02.36
Span of stars overhead
00:24:03.73\00:24:08.21
as we walk this road.
00:24:08.51\00:24:12.84
While the darkness remains
00:24:13.04\00:24:17.61
I will bear your load.
00:24:17.81\00:24:22.35
And together we will tell
00:24:22.55\00:24:26.67
of the seeds He sowed
00:24:26.87\00:24:31.65
as we walk the road
00:24:31.85\00:24:35.67
into that city.
00:24:35.97\00:24:39.18
On that day we will sing
00:24:40.69\00:24:45.78
"Holy, holy. "
00:24:45.98\00:24:51.77
On that day
00:24:52.07\00:24:55.01
we'll bow down
00:24:55.21\00:24:59.49
in the light.
00:24:59.52\00:25:03.77
And then
00:25:05.09\00:25:07.30
we'll rise
00:25:07.61\00:25:11.76
and turn our eyes
00:25:11.96\00:25:16.96
to the One
00:25:17.16\00:25:20.02
who's the light...
00:25:20.22\00:25:22.41
the light of that city.
00:25:22.61\00:25:28.54
Though my mind can't conceive
00:25:32.88\00:25:37.30
all that He's prepared
00:25:37.60\00:25:41.78
and my eyes cannot see
00:25:42.08\00:25:46.22
all that's waiting there...
00:25:46.42\00:25:51.20
There the blind will see the sun
00:25:51.50\00:25:55.45
and the old will be made young
00:25:55.76\00:26:00.58
and the lame...
the lame will run
00:26:00.78\00:26:04.63
the streets of that city.
00:26:04.84\00:26:09.39
On that day we will sing
00:26:09.69\00:26:15.01
"Holy, holy. "
00:26:15.21\00:26:20.83
On that day
00:26:21.23\00:26:24.39
we'll bow down
00:26:24.59\00:26:28.01
in the light.
00:26:28.21\00:26:32.59
And then
00:26:34.14\00:26:36.62
we'll rise
00:26:36.82\00:26:40.71
and turn our eyes
00:26:41.01\00:26:46.28
to the One
00:26:46.58\00:26:49.41
who's the light...
00:26:49.61\00:26:51.73
the light of that city.
00:26:51.93\00:26:57.73
On that day we will sing
00:26:58.13\00:27:03.52
"Holy, holy,
00:27:03.73\00:27:08.92
holy, holy, holy. " On that day
00:27:09.13\00:27:13.17
we'll bow down
00:27:13.47\00:27:16.71
in the light.
00:27:16.91\00:27:21.21
Oh-oh-oh-oh, and
00:27:21.52\00:27:24.36
then we'll rise
00:27:24.56\00:27:29.93
and turn our eyes
00:27:30.13\00:27:35.34
to the One
00:27:35.54\00:27:38.71
who's the light...
00:27:38.91\00:27:40.95
the light of that city.
00:27:41.15\00:27:47.15
Oh, and then
00:27:47.45\00:27:50.33
we'll rise
00:27:50.63\00:27:54.69
and turn our eyes
00:27:54.99\00:28:00.16
to the One
00:28:00.19\00:28:03.14
who's the light...
00:28:03.34\00:28:05.85
to the Lord, He's the light...
00:28:06.15\00:28:11.66
the light of that
00:28:11.86\00:28:13.42
city.
00:28:13.72\00:28:19.65
Blessed be the name of our Lord.
00:28:21.98\00:28:24.00
Come on out here, Danny.
00:28:24.30\00:28:26.25
Thank you. Beautiful!
We will see Him as He is.
00:28:26.55\00:28:30.94
Um-hmm. You know, Allison...
Allison got my mind to wondering
00:28:31.15\00:28:34.30
about... the songs have given
us a glimpse of heaven tonight.
00:28:34.50\00:28:38.16
As we think about it
and I've said that myself...
00:28:38.29\00:28:40.96
I go places and I tell people
"We're all terminally ill.
00:28:41.16\00:28:44.65
We're born that way. "
00:28:44.85\00:28:45.87
And as you said,
Gaither was saying that.
00:28:45.97\00:28:47.79
And so we have to have hope.
00:28:47.99\00:28:49.50
And that hope is
sometimes in life we
00:28:49.70\00:28:52.87
kind of get confused and
Satan throws things in our way
00:28:53.07\00:28:56.30
and we take our
eyes away from Jesus.
00:28:56.50\00:28:58.83
But that's why 3ABN
Camp Meeting. That's why
00:28:59.03\00:29:01.51
Three Angels
Broadcasting Network
00:29:01.61\00:29:03.34
that have people who
come - whether they speak,
00:29:03.54\00:29:05.44
whether they sing as you are -
00:29:05.54\00:29:07.38
in giving us a
glimpse of that city.
00:29:07.58\00:29:09.99
And that just hit me.
I was sitting back here
00:29:10.19\00:29:11.77
and I was thinking
about the diversity.
00:29:11.87\00:29:14.20
That when we get to heaven
how surprised many of us will be
00:29:14.40\00:29:17.72
that somebody
else was there, right?
00:29:17.93\00:29:19.51
And to me like: "I didn't
think he was going to make it. "
00:29:19.71\00:29:22.18
You know, boy.
And they're saying:
00:29:22.38\00:29:23.85
"Well I didn't think
Danny was going to get there. "
00:29:24.05\00:29:25.91
But you see all the different
people and all the Christians
00:29:26.11\00:29:29.66
from all the different...
See we... How many believe
00:29:29.76\00:29:31.72
that God has people in
all churches? Don't you?
00:29:31.92\00:29:34.11
I do. So we realize we're not
saved by the name as they say
00:29:34.31\00:29:37.57
"over the doorpost" but we're
saved... we're saved when we
00:29:37.68\00:29:40.16
give our lives to
Jesus and submit and commit.
00:29:40.36\00:29:42.80
And Allison, for instance.
We've ministered together
00:29:43.00\00:29:45.49
for years. You all
are Nazarene, right?
00:29:45.69\00:29:47.32
Yes. And your family is Nazarene
00:29:47.52\00:29:49.45
and you're wonderful
Christian people. And I thought
00:29:49.65\00:29:51.59
all of these people when
we get to heaven will say
00:29:51.79\00:29:54.18
"You mean that Catholic's
over here? I didn't know he was
00:29:54.38\00:29:56.02
going to make it. "
"Well those Adventists
00:29:56.12\00:29:57.72
are over there.
I sure didn't know
00:29:57.92\00:29:59.08
they were going to make it. "
00:29:59.18\00:30:00.25
There's this old... this
old... and I hope it was a joke.
00:30:00.45\00:30:03.67
Somebody said that
when you got to heaven...
00:30:03.87\00:30:06.29
They dreamed they went
to heaven and they said
00:30:06.49\00:30:08.53
you know, whoever they
use, Saint Peter or somebody was
00:30:08.74\00:30:10.73
showing them around. And
here was the Pentecostals
00:30:10.93\00:30:13.29
and they were praising the Lord.
00:30:13.39\00:30:14.43
And over here there were
these people and they were
00:30:14.63\00:30:16.82
worshiping and doing.
You know, everybody was
00:30:17.02\00:30:19.44
having this great time
worshiping and then they got
00:30:19.64\00:30:21.70
over to a little place
on the hill in the valley
00:30:21.80\00:30:23.71
and there were a group of
people that was real quiet.
00:30:23.91\00:30:26.06
And they said:
"Shhh... be real quiet.
00:30:26.16\00:30:28.46
Those are Adventists. They think
they're the only ones here. "
00:30:28.66\00:30:30.78
But now we know that's not
true. That was just a dream
00:30:34.17\00:30:36.72
somebody had. But I was thinking
about when we get to heaven
00:30:36.92\00:30:39.78
the different kinds of
music, the different cultural
00:30:39.98\00:30:42.73
you know, things
that people have.
00:30:42.93\00:30:45.26
And so God is
such a great God. Amen.
00:30:45.46\00:30:49.13
And to think about, you
know, what He must see when He
00:30:49.26\00:30:51.40
looks down on this earth now.
00:30:51.50\00:30:53.25
And though the world
is headed in a direction
00:30:53.45\00:30:57.39
that again that there
is no future without Him
00:30:57.59\00:31:00.74
He still can look down and
say: "You know, there's 7,000
00:31:00.94\00:31:03.43
that haven't bowed
their knees to Baal. "
00:31:03.53\00:31:05.17
Amen. And we want to be
part of that. I know you do
00:31:05.37\00:31:08.17
and Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:31:08.37\00:31:10.29
Thank you for your love and your
prayers and financial support
00:31:10.49\00:31:13.30
of 3ABN as we can
continue to give an undiluted
00:31:13.50\00:31:17.50
three angels'
messages unto all the world.
00:31:17.70\00:31:19.36
Because God has told
us of whom much is given
00:31:19.56\00:31:21.79
much is required.
00:31:21.99\00:31:23.26
God has given us prophecy.
00:31:23.46\00:31:25.00
This, Allison, says
Pillars of Prophecy.
00:31:25.11\00:31:27.12
And prophecy is so important.
00:31:27.32\00:31:29.37
A lot of people don't even
understand how important it is.
00:31:29.57\00:31:32.25
And somebody said to me once:
00:31:32.45\00:31:33.87
"Why is prophecy
so important to you? "
00:31:34.07\00:31:36.13
And I said: "I'll tell you
why it's so important to me
00:31:36.43\00:31:38.63
is because I can say now
that I've studied it somewhat
00:31:38.83\00:31:42.46
I've read the back of the book.
00:31:42.66\00:31:43.93
So no matter what
Satan throws at me
00:31:44.14\00:31:46.38
I say: "I've read the
back of the book, and the back
00:31:46.58\00:31:48.66
of the book says
two words: 'we win. ' "
00:31:48.76\00:31:50.72
Right? If you
don't know prophecy,
00:31:50.92\00:31:53.72
you don't
understand that you win!
00:31:53.92\00:31:55.79
So now understanding
what's coming, you can take it.
00:31:55.99\00:31:59.32
You can say: "Ok, all
right. I understand it. "
00:31:59.58\00:32:02.35
I give an illustration
sometimes of John and Mary.
00:32:02.49\00:32:04.96
They go in a bookstore...
Or these folk are going -
00:32:05.17\00:32:08.63
whatever their names
are - they go in a bookstore
00:32:08.84\00:32:10.31
and they buy this book. And
they read the back of the book
00:32:10.42\00:32:13.81
and it says... Let's say
that the folks were in the book
00:32:13.91\00:32:16.84
"John and Mary rode off into
the sunset happily ever after. "
00:32:17.04\00:32:19.80
Now the folks take the
book home; they're reading it.
00:32:20.00\00:32:22.74
One hundred pages
in this 200-page book
00:32:22.94\00:32:25.63
John and Mary fell off a cliff.
00:32:25.83\00:32:28.65
It's a thousand-feet drop
and they're hanging onto a limb.
00:32:28.85\00:32:31.98
That's not bad
enough... the limb is cracking
00:32:32.18\00:32:34.42
and it looks like sudden death.
00:32:34.62\00:32:36.42
Do you... does the reader
take the book and throw it away
00:32:36.62\00:32:40.06
and say: "Oh, no. John
and Mary's going to die! "
00:32:40.36\00:32:42.08
Do they? No. Why not?
00:32:42.48\00:32:45.34
You read the back of the book.
00:32:45.64\00:32:47.26
So now it gets
exciting so you say:
00:32:47.46\00:32:49.98
"Wow, how is the
author going to get these folk
00:32:50.18\00:32:52.39
out of this jam? " Now
in reality you and I can say
00:32:52.49\00:32:56.42
"How's God going to
get us out of this? "
00:32:56.62\00:32:58.65
But we've read the back of the
book, so Pillars of Prophecy...
00:32:58.85\00:33:02.11
And we have people
that are teaching this.
00:33:02.31\00:33:04.34
And 3ABN has been blessed with
speakers like you see tonight.
00:33:04.54\00:33:07.75
Bro. John will be here
in just a few moments. Yes.
00:33:07.95\00:33:09.85
You know... Elder Dan that
was here and all week we have
00:33:10.05\00:33:12.89
a lineup of all these
folks coming to talk about
00:33:12.99\00:33:15.60
the good news ahead.
00:33:15.70\00:33:17.92
So we don't have to
fear for what lies ahead
00:33:18.02\00:33:21.10
because we can
understand the Word of God
00:33:21.30\00:33:23.66
and the end-result is: we win.
00:33:23.76\00:33:25.91
Allison, we love you and Brian.
We appreciate you so much.
00:33:26.11\00:33:29.52
Thank you for what you
do for the cause of God.
00:33:29.72\00:33:31.74
I was... Years ago - it
might have been ten years ago -
00:33:31.94\00:33:34.43
I was watching one of
the Gaither Homecomings.
00:33:34.63\00:33:36.43
A lot of these folk...
they may not raise their hand
00:33:36.63\00:33:38.89
but I bet a lot of them
watch these things at home.
00:33:38.99\00:33:41.01
And some wonderful
programming for sure.
00:33:41.22\00:33:44.84
And so I was watching
it, and this lady got up
00:33:45.04\00:33:48.18
and sang a song. And
I'll never forget. I said:
00:33:48.38\00:33:50.66
"That woman has an
anointing on her. "
00:33:50.76\00:33:52.93
And I Will Glory in the
Cross was the song she sang.
00:33:52.96\00:33:56.47
And I said: "Man, this
woman has an anointing on her.
00:33:56.67\00:33:58.83
What an incredible voice.
I'd love to get her to 3ABN
00:33:59.03\00:34:02.38
sometime. " And
it was Allison Speer.
00:34:02.58\00:34:04.22
And later... I don't know if
I was talking to E.T. or someone
00:34:04.52\00:34:07.83
and she said: "Oh, we ran
across Allison and Brian. "
00:34:08.04\00:34:10.57
I said: "I've got
to meet these folk. "
00:34:10.77\00:34:12.70
You met Brian
first. I met Brian.
00:34:12.90\00:34:15.02
And so we're thankful
that... for what you do again
00:34:15.22\00:34:17.93
for the cause of God and
thank you for coming to 3ABN.
00:34:18.03\00:34:20.46
Thank you; God bless you.
00:34:20.56\00:34:21.90
It's my privilege now
to introduce my pastor
00:34:26.41\00:34:28.84
and the pastor of this
church and the SDA church,
00:34:29.04\00:34:32.73
Thompsonville Seventh-day
Adventist Church here,
00:34:32.93\00:34:34.92
part of the Illinois Conference.
00:34:35.05\00:34:36.31
Pastor John, how are you doing?
00:34:36.51\00:34:37.96
Good to be here,
Danny. He's not only my pastor
00:34:38.16\00:34:40.15
but he's my basketball buddy.
00:34:40.35\00:34:41.87
And several years ago we
invited John to come to 3ABN.
00:34:42.07\00:34:46.60
We had a little church and...
and it was like a company.
00:34:46.80\00:34:50.14
And the conference said: "Well
we can't afford to pay pastors,
00:34:50.34\00:34:52.63
but if 3ABN wants to do
that. " So we said: "OK. "
00:34:52.73\00:34:56.50
So we interviewed
John... two Johns actually.
00:34:56.70\00:34:59.66
John Lomacang and John Stanton.
00:34:59.87\00:35:01.96
Any of you know John
Stanton from House Calls?
00:35:02.06\00:35:04.18
He's six foot with his...
Barefooted he's 6' 9-1/2".
00:35:04.38\00:35:07.77
So he's a little bit taller
than I am. He's a little bit...
00:35:07.97\00:35:10.17
He's a big... he's a big boy.
00:35:10.27\00:35:12.96
And so we ended up...
They came here and so we said:
00:35:13.16\00:35:16.80
"You know, we need these
folk on our pastoral staff. "
00:35:17.00\00:35:19.25
So we hired them and one of
the members came and they said:
00:35:19.45\00:35:22.83
"Are those guys
good preachers? "
00:35:23.03\00:35:24.52
And I said: "I don't
know if they can preach or not
00:35:24.62\00:35:26.19
but we needed some
good basketball players
00:35:26.29\00:35:28.12
for our ball team. " And so they
didn't take that too seriously -
00:35:28.22\00:35:33.29
No they didn't -
I hope. But anyway
00:35:33.39\00:35:34.98
John is a good
basketball player.
00:35:35.18\00:35:36.29
But I just want the
folks to know that I love you
00:35:36.39\00:35:39.03
and appreciate you
and Angie for what you do.
00:35:39.13\00:35:40.95
I have a tremendous
amount of respect for you
00:35:41.15\00:35:43.35
because I've seen
you year in and year out
00:35:43.55\00:35:45.84
always committed
to God, to the gospel.
00:35:46.04\00:35:48.70
And I know that that's
what your life is all about:
00:35:49.01\00:35:51.57
spreading the three
angels' messages - undiluted
00:35:51.77\00:35:54.74
three angels' messages -
to a lost and dying world.
00:35:54.94\00:35:56.94
And thank you for not only
the support you give to 3ABN,
00:35:57.14\00:36:00.43
to me personally, many of
the folks out here. We love you
00:36:00.63\00:36:03.38
and we look forward to you
ministering to us right now.
00:36:03.58\00:36:05.84
Thank you,
Danny... appreciate that.
00:36:05.94\00:36:07.17
Wow! How do you
follow Allison Speer?
00:36:08.38\00:36:10.98
I thought about that
back there but I said:
00:36:11.18\00:36:12.76
"Wait, I'm not following Allison
Speer, I'm following Jesus. "
00:36:12.86\00:36:16.04
Amen. And so it's a lot easier.
00:36:16.24\00:36:17.96
You know, I was thinking
of the songs to sing tonight
00:36:18.16\00:36:19.96
and one that came to my mind
was the song "I Surrender All. "
00:36:20.16\00:36:24.43
You know, when I got involved
in ministry in the church
00:36:24.73\00:36:26.85
when I first started I was
a member of a 1,200 capacity
00:36:27.05\00:36:31.56
church in Brooklyn, New
York: Bethel SDA Church.
00:36:31.66\00:36:34.05
It was disheartening to
try to sing on Sabbath morning
00:36:34.25\00:36:37.15
with so many eyes looking at
you having never sung before.
00:36:37.25\00:36:39.99
So my wife and I began
by going to prison ministry.
00:36:40.29\00:36:43.66
Every Sabbath after
Sabbath School we'd go to prison
00:36:43.86\00:36:45.66
ministry. And we'd
sing there and preach there
00:36:45.76\00:36:47.92
and it became easy because
we were singing and preaching
00:36:48.12\00:36:50.14
to people that when they
entered the prison they gave up
00:36:50.24\00:36:53.04
everything that
they were and had
00:36:53.14\00:36:55.54
before they entered
these houses of incarceration.
00:36:55.74\00:36:59.05
And I thought about that a
little bit. I said: "You know,
00:36:59.35\00:37:01.86
when they enter the prisons
- whether maximum security,
00:37:02.06\00:37:05.92
whether county jail -
everything that they had
00:37:06.12\00:37:09.07
on the outside they
leave it on the outside.
00:37:09.27\00:37:11.61
They can't take a single thing
with them on the inside except
00:37:13.20\00:37:16.03
who they are. And I thought
about the writer of this song -
00:37:16.24\00:37:19.73
a young man that lived in
the late 1800's. And he said...
00:37:20.03\00:37:23.27
He was a musician. He
played 13 different instruments.
00:37:23.47\00:37:26.56
He was caught between
being a Christian and a worldly
00:37:26.96\00:37:30.68
composer. And one day
as he was conducting a song
00:37:30.78\00:37:34.15
in a local church -
a small little church -
00:37:34.35\00:37:36.16
the Lord touched
his heart and he said:
00:37:36.47\00:37:38.45
"I've got to give up all
the things that connect me
00:37:38.55\00:37:40.44
to the world and I've got
to surrender all to Jesus. "
00:37:40.54\00:37:43.59
And that's where this
song was born: I Surrender All.
00:37:43.89\00:37:46.50
And the Lord
impressed me a few years ago
00:37:46.73\00:37:48.40
to re-introduce those songs
that never lose their power
00:37:48.61\00:37:51.47
and never lose their value.
00:37:51.67\00:37:53.58
So listen to the message
in a song that never loses
00:37:53.78\00:37:56.41
its power and never loses
its message: I Surrender All.
00:37:56.51\00:38:01.26
All to Jesus
00:38:15.06\00:38:19.47
I surrender,
00:38:20.18\00:38:23.05
All to Him
00:38:23.15\00:38:26.10
I freely give;
00:38:26.30\00:38:30.51
I will ever
00:38:30.81\00:38:35.24
love and trust Him,
00:38:35.44\00:38:39.20
In His presence daily live.
00:38:40.35\00:38:46.33
I surrender all,
00:38:47.17\00:38:53.12
I surrender all,
00:38:54.90\00:39:00.81
All to Thee,
00:39:02.85\00:39:05.84
my blessed Savior,
00:39:06.04\00:39:10.90
I surrender all.
00:39:11.21\00:39:17.11
All to Jesus
00:39:23.11\00:39:27.13
I now surrender,
00:39:27.53\00:39:30.98
Humbly, humbly
00:39:31.09\00:39:33.63
at His feet I bow.
00:39:33.73\00:39:38.44
Worldly pleasures
00:39:38.74\00:39:43.08
all forsaken,
00:39:43.38\00:39:47.53
Take me, Jesus,
00:39:48.31\00:39:51.10
take me now.
00:39:51.40\00:39:54.75
I surrender all,
00:39:55.25\00:40:01.23
Oh, I surrender
00:40:02.22\00:40:07.10
my all,
00:40:07.30\00:40:10.21
All to Thee,
00:40:11.04\00:40:14.44
my blessed Savior,
00:40:14.64\00:40:18.78
I surrender all.
00:40:19.08\00:40:24.97
I surrender my all,
00:40:27.08\00:40:33.07
Lord, I surrender
00:40:33.47\00:40:38.74
all.
00:40:38.84\00:40:40.76
To You, my Lord,
00:40:42.55\00:40:46.37
and to You, my Savior,
00:40:46.57\00:40:50.85
I surrender all.
00:40:51.35\00:40:57.31
All to Jesus
00:40:59.23\00:41:03.07
I now surrender,
00:41:03.37\00:41:07.24
for I feel that
00:41:07.44\00:41:10.99
sacred flame.
00:41:11.19\00:41:14.38
Oh, the joy
00:41:14.68\00:41:17.92
of full salvation,
00:41:18.12\00:41:23.14
glory, glory
00:41:23.34\00:41:26.92
to His name!
00:41:27.12\00:41:32.88
I surrender my all,
00:41:33.18\00:41:39.16
Lord, I surrender
00:41:39.46\00:41:44.97
all,
00:41:45.07\00:41:49.05
All to You
00:41:49.35\00:41:51.81
my blessed
00:41:52.01\00:41:55.18
Savior,
00:41:55.38\00:41:59.59
I surrender
00:42:00.46\00:42:04.98
all.
00:42:05.18\00:42:11.13
Amen.
00:42:18.43\00:42:19.72
September of this year is
going to be an anniversary.
00:42:24.34\00:42:27.22
Not our wedding anniversary.
We just celebrated 29 years
00:42:27.42\00:42:30.15
in May. And just keep
my wife in your prayers.
00:42:30.36\00:42:33.69
She's home with a fever.
00:42:33.79\00:42:35.35
This song hopefully will
encourage her and give her
00:42:36.42\00:42:38.59
strength.
September 29th of this year
00:42:38.69\00:42:42.22
will be my third
anniversary of my throat injury.
00:42:42.32\00:42:47.17
Three years ago September
26 right here on this stage
00:42:48.34\00:42:51.52
at 3ABN I was
preaching a sermon about Job.
00:42:51.72\00:42:54.24
And I said: "On any given
day without any prior notice
00:42:55.43\00:42:57.89
and for no apparent
reason you'll be faced
00:42:58.09\00:43:00.04
with a challenge and
the trial of your life. "
00:43:00.34\00:43:03.20
Three days later,
playing basketball in the gym,
00:43:03.50\00:43:05.93
I got elbowed in the throat.
00:43:06.14\00:43:07.57
No, it wasn't Danny. He's not
tall enough to reach my throat.
00:43:07.77\00:43:10.48
I just had to say that!
00:43:11.79\00:43:13.11
'Cause somebody
said: "Was it Danny? "
00:43:14.34\00:43:16.03
No, it couldn't have been Danny.
00:43:16.14\00:43:17.20
Love you, Danny. But
that just fit right there.
00:43:17.40\00:43:20.26
I got elbowed in my
throat and the physician said
00:43:22.17\00:43:25.01
if I had been hit about 1/2 inch
higher I would never sing again.
00:43:25.22\00:43:28.35
I was sent home; put on
2 weeks solid voice rest.
00:43:29.46\00:43:33.51
He said: "Don't speak,
don't whisper, don't talk,
00:43:33.81\00:43:35.93
don't leave your house. "
00:43:36.13\00:43:37.14
My wife liked that for
about three to four days.
00:43:37.44\00:43:40.04
After that she
said: "Say something! "
00:43:40.34\00:43:42.56
And so the only way I
could communicate was through my
00:43:42.76\00:43:44.93
laptop computer. I began to
talk with an electronic voice.
00:43:45.03\00:43:47.55
"Hello Angela. Are
you in the house? "
00:43:47.75\00:43:50.27
And frightened her half
to death when she heard this
00:43:50.47\00:43:52.75
strange voice in the kitchen.
00:43:52.85\00:43:54.33
And... But there was nothing
more humbling than for a singer
00:43:55.58\00:43:59.04
to sit down and
not be able to sing.
00:43:59.14\00:44:02.15
And I stayed
home, didn't preach.
00:44:03.59\00:44:05.93
My first sermon back
was A Time To Keep Silent.
00:44:06.13\00:44:10.73
What a time I had with
the Lord... just He and I.
00:44:11.99\00:44:14.51
I couldn't sing but I
turned my music up real loud.
00:44:14.71\00:44:16.98
Played my bass and my
keyboard just praising the Lord
00:44:17.19\00:44:19.31
with tears running down my eyes.
00:44:19.51\00:44:21.66
And so I said: "Lord,
OK. I don't know what this is
00:44:21.96\00:44:24.50
all about. I don't know
what's going to come out of this
00:44:24.60\00:44:26.46
that's going to be praise
to You but I'm just going to
00:44:26.66\00:44:28.49
use whatever I have
left. " And gradually
00:44:28.79\00:44:31.07
my voice has been returning.
00:44:31.27\00:44:32.88
And I'm praying that it will
come back fully... hopefully
00:44:33.08\00:44:35.14
maybe at the end of
this three-year period.
00:44:35.24\00:44:37.04
But this song
illustrates what God can do
00:44:37.34\00:44:40.10
because just a month and a half
after I almost lost my voice
00:44:40.20\00:44:43.00
I had to go to Australia
with Danny... and sing!
00:44:43.20\00:44:47.00
And I said: "There's no way. "
00:44:48.06\00:44:49.85
God blessed in
spite of my weakness.
00:44:50.05\00:44:55.41
And so if you're
going through something
00:44:55.71\00:44:58.29
I pray this song
encourages you. Because tonight
00:44:58.49\00:45:00.62
the voice that I have is
because the Lord in His mercy
00:45:00.83\00:45:05.02
and His infinite wisdom
reached down and touched those
00:45:05.05\00:45:08.16
vocal cords. And He's allowing
them to heal in His own time
00:45:08.27\00:45:11.19
and for His glory.
00:45:11.39\00:45:13.02
Allow the Lord to touch you
00:45:13.32\00:45:14.40
and that's where the
difference will be made.
00:45:14.61\00:45:16.83
I was shackled by a heavy
00:45:26.52\00:45:31.12
burden,
00:45:31.32\00:45:33.20
Living beneath
00:45:33.60\00:45:36.45
a load of guilt and pain.
00:45:36.65\00:45:42.03
Then the hand of Jesus
00:45:43.81\00:45:48.72
touched me
00:45:49.02\00:45:51.41
and now I am no longer the same.
00:45:52.17\00:45:58.13
You know the chorus.
Sing with me. Are you ready?
00:45:58.73\00:45:59.92
He touched me,
00:46:00.92\00:46:03.90
O He touched me,
00:46:04.03\00:46:09.06
And O the joy
00:46:09.85\00:46:13.68
that floods my soul!
00:46:13.88\00:46:18.62
Something happened,
00:46:19.02\00:46:23.24
and now I know
00:46:23.44\00:46:27.34
He touched me
00:46:27.64\00:46:29.96
and made me whole. Amen?
00:46:30.26\00:46:35.49
Since I met this blessed
00:46:37.20\00:46:41.92
Savior,
00:46:42.12\00:46:44.16
And since
00:46:44.46\00:46:47.60
He cleansed and made me whole,
00:46:47.80\00:46:52.80
Now I will never cease
00:46:53.99\00:46:58.45
to praise Him...
00:46:58.75\00:47:02.17
I'll shout it
00:47:02.37\00:47:05.60
while eternity rolls.
00:47:05.80\00:47:09.70
Are you ready? Here we go.
00:47:09.80\00:47:11.33
He touched me,
00:47:12.13\00:47:14.92
O He touched me,
00:47:15.12\00:47:20.23
And O the joy
00:47:21.01\00:47:25.07
now floods my soul!
00:47:25.27\00:47:28.64
Now listen: Something happened,
00:47:28.74\00:47:34.23
and now I know...
00:47:34.53\00:47:38.66
Yes, something happened
00:47:38.76\00:47:42.50
and now I know
00:47:42.70\00:47:46.32
You know that
something wonderful happened
00:47:46.52\00:47:50.58
and now I know...
00:47:50.78\00:47:56.77
He touched me,
00:47:57.07\00:47:59.45
O Jesus touched me,
00:47:59.76\00:48:04.98
And O the joy
00:48:05.29\00:48:09.33
now floods my soul!
00:48:09.53\00:48:13.53
You know,
something wonderful happened
00:48:13.83\00:48:17.63
and now
00:48:17.66\00:48:19.79
I know
00:48:20.19\00:48:26.16
Jesus touched me
00:48:28.40\00:48:32.31
and made
00:48:32.51\00:48:37.01
me whole.
00:48:37.21\00:48:43.13
Amen.
00:48:49.96\00:48:51.53
Beautiful, John.
00:48:53.34\00:48:55.14
If his voice gets much better
I don't think I'll be able
00:48:55.44\00:48:57.96
to take any more.
That's so good now
00:48:58.07\00:48:59.73
that's about all I can absorb.
00:48:59.87\00:49:01.56
What a blessing and
what a great guy John is
00:49:01.76\00:49:05.20
and what a great Christian.
00:49:05.30\00:49:06.31
Speaking of that, it's
my privilege to introduce
00:49:06.41\00:49:08.94
another wonderful brother
in the Lord. I love this man
00:49:09.14\00:49:12.03
like my own brother.
And Pastor C.A. Murray.
00:49:12.13\00:49:14.73
And C.A.'s going to
sing. When he first came,
00:49:14.93\00:49:17.97
folks, he's very... 
he's never said "I can sing. "
00:49:18.17\00:49:22.50
So people didn't
even know he could sing.
00:49:22.70\00:49:24.73
Now I knew he could sing.
Come on out Pastor Murray.
00:49:24.93\00:49:26.97
I knew he could sing
because when I went to
00:49:27.17\00:49:29.69
Mollie said: "You're
going to a camp meeting. "
00:49:29.89\00:49:31.50
It's... which camp meeting
was the first one I went to?
00:49:31.70\00:49:33.83
Northeastern. Northeastern,
and that's basically
00:49:34.03\00:49:37.07
a black camp
meeting, right? Um-hmm.
00:49:37.27\00:49:38.99
OK. And there was
how many people there?
00:49:39.02\00:49:40.60
Seven thousand
maybe. 7,000 people or so.
00:49:40.80\00:49:43.25
So Mollie said: "You
and Melody are singing
00:49:43.45\00:49:45.92
at this big camp meeting. "
00:49:46.12\00:49:47.70
So she said: "The guy... one
of the guys who scheduled you,
00:49:47.90\00:49:52.12
a Pastor C.A. Murray, said
he's singing a trio with you. "
00:49:52.32\00:49:55.17
And I said: "No he isn't. "
00:49:55.48\00:49:57.33
And she said: "Well
he said he can sing. "
00:49:57.64\00:49:59.91
I said: "It doesn't
make any difference.
00:50:00.12\00:50:01.53
We've got our
little game plan together.
00:50:01.73\00:50:03.29
I'm not going to go out
in front of 7,000 people
00:50:03.49\00:50:05.83
and somebody get up and
sing. He may be a great singer
00:50:06.03\00:50:08.72
but we've got to
practice. I'm going to get there
00:50:08.92\00:50:11.04
just in time to go
sing. " So she said:
00:50:11.15\00:50:13.56
"Well you'll at least
be open to listen to him. "
00:50:13.66\00:50:15.43
And I said: "Well if he's
there before we practice... "
00:50:15.53\00:50:18.18
So Melody and I started
doing a song that she wrote.
00:50:18.39\00:50:20.82
which is the one...
oh... I Know the Plans.
00:50:21.03\00:50:24.49
I Know The Plans.
And so here come this...
00:50:24.59\00:50:27.57
This fellow come up and
he grabbed the microphone.
00:50:27.68\00:50:29.34
And what I hadn't
realized... he had a record
00:50:29.47\00:50:32.21
so he had been
practicing with it
00:50:32.41\00:50:34.68
so he fit like a hand in glove.
00:50:34.88\00:50:36.69
And I said: "Man,
this guy's quick. "
00:50:36.79\00:50:38.41
Then later he
confessed "I already knew it;
00:50:38.61\00:50:40.71
I've been singing
with Melody's CD. "
00:50:40.92\00:50:43.93
So that's how I met C.A. Murray.
00:50:44.13\00:50:46.00
He's an incredible preacher.
00:50:46.03\00:50:48.43
He and Irma are wonderful
additions... their family that's
00:50:48.63\00:50:51.43
come here... has been a
wonderful addition to 3ABN.
00:50:51.53\00:50:55.02
And we're so
thankful for you, C.A.
00:50:55.12\00:50:57.20
and for your talent in
music.. though he's not one
00:50:57.30\00:51:00.03
to push himself or to go out
and say: "Hey, I want to sing. "
00:51:00.13\00:51:02.97
So we have to ask him.
"Hey Murray - Pastor Murray -
00:51:03.17\00:51:05.47
would you sing for us? "
And he says: "Whatever you want;
00:51:05.67\00:51:07.98
whatever the Lord wants me
to do I'm willing to do it. "
00:51:08.19\00:51:10.24
So thank you for
being here and blessing us.
00:51:10.44\00:51:12.41
And when this song is over
when that clock's to zero...
00:51:12.71\00:51:16.00
You've got it to zero, right?
00:51:16.10\00:51:17.72
I've got it to zero.
00:51:18.02\00:51:19.44
I want you to close
your eyes really quick.
00:51:19.64\00:51:21.12
I want you to
think about heaven.
00:51:21.42\00:51:23.65
Now open them.
00:51:25.54\00:51:27.00
It's a rather
difficult request, isn't it?
00:51:27.20\00:51:28.93
Because the Bible says
your eyes have not seen
00:51:29.13\00:51:31.57
your ears have not heard.
Hasn't even entered into our
00:51:31.78\00:51:34.30
hearts what God has prepared.
00:51:34.40\00:51:35.70
So we are much more comfortable
thinking about the things that
00:51:35.90\00:51:38.73
won't be in heaven.
00:51:38.83\00:51:40.20
Because we really just don't
know what will be in heaven
00:51:40.40\00:51:43.00
because you have
nothing to compare it to.
00:51:43.20\00:51:44.78
Our best on earth falls short
of what will be in heaven. Amen?
00:51:44.98\00:51:49.15
Amen. So we are comfortable
thinking about what won't be
00:51:49.36\00:51:52.03
in heaven. No more
sickness; no more sadness;
00:51:52.13\00:51:54.62
no more sorrow; no
more rent payments;
00:51:54.82\00:51:56.99
no more doctors; no more nurses;
00:51:57.19\00:51:58.87
no more
eyeglasses; no more rheumatism;
00:51:58.97\00:52:00.90
no more arthritis; no
more aches; no more pains.
00:52:01.10\00:52:03.59
And the Bible says the last
enemy that will be put under
00:52:03.99\00:52:07.38
God's feet is
death. Amen. No more death.
00:52:07.48\00:52:10.54
I have a sermon called
The Land Of No Regrets.
00:52:10.74\00:52:14.50
There'll be no
regrets in heaven.
00:52:14.70\00:52:16.31
No regrets and no more death.
00:52:16.71\00:52:19.47
When I was pastoring in
New York at one church -
00:52:19.60\00:52:21.16
my Ephesus church
- I did 117 funerals.
00:52:21.26\00:52:24.50
Got sick of death.
00:52:24.70\00:52:26.54
Had one little
funeral... seven little coffins.
00:52:26.74\00:52:30.05
There was a party
one night at a house.
00:52:30.25\00:52:32.38
And it got a little cold and
so they turned on the kerosene
00:52:32.58\00:52:36.44
heater. But somebody put
gasoline in this kerosene heater
00:52:36.54\00:52:40.29
and it exploded. And
the fire shot upstairs
00:52:40.49\00:52:42.56
and the seven little cousins
instead of coming out of the
00:52:42.77\00:52:45.67
bedroom ran and
hid under the bed.
00:52:45.77\00:52:47.99
And so we had seven
little white caskets.
00:52:48.53\00:52:52.04
I'm glad to tell the parents
that Jesus is going to mark
00:52:52.25\00:52:56.62
those caskets and we
will see them one day.
00:52:56.72\00:52:59.55
There will be no more death.
00:52:59.65\00:53:01.61
What a day of
rejoicing that will be...
00:53:01.82\00:53:06.75
when we all get to heaven!
00:53:07.05\00:53:09.42
Sing the wondrous love
00:53:18.06\00:53:22.61
of Jesus,
00:53:22.81\00:53:25.13
Sing His mercy and His grace;
00:53:25.33\00:53:31.32
In the mansions so bright
00:53:31.73\00:53:36.51
and blessed He'll
00:53:36.71\00:53:40.13
prepare for us a place.
00:53:40.33\00:53:45.37
A place.
00:53:45.67\00:53:49.87
While we walk the
00:53:50.08\00:53:53.13
pilgrim's pathway
00:53:53.23\00:53:56.83
Clouds will overspread
00:53:57.04\00:54:01.10
the sky;
00:54:01.31\00:54:03.72
But when trav'ling days
00:54:04.02\00:54:08.34
are over
00:54:08.44\00:54:10.73
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
00:54:10.94\00:54:16.54
A sigh.
00:54:16.94\00:54:20.15
When we all
00:54:20.35\00:54:23.80
get to heaven,
00:54:23.91\00:54:28.45
What a day of
rejoicing that will be!
00:54:28.65\00:54:33.88
And when we all
00:54:34.18\00:54:38.27
see Jesus,
00:54:39.11\00:54:42.27
we'll sing and
shout the victory.
00:54:42.47\00:54:48.44
Let us then be
00:54:52.92\00:54:56.17
true and faithful,
00:54:56.37\00:55:00.17
Trusting Jesus, serving Jesus
00:55:00.37\00:55:03.54
ev'ry day;
00:55:03.74\00:55:07.02
Just one glimpse of Him
00:55:07.32\00:55:11.86
in glory
00:55:12.06\00:55:14.13
Will the toils of life repay.
00:55:14.33\00:55:19.79
Repay.
00:55:20.29\00:55:25.03
Onward to the prize before us!
00:55:25.33\00:55:31.31
Soon His beauty
00:55:32.32\00:55:35.26
we'll behold;
00:55:35.46\00:55:38.76
Soon the pearly gates
00:55:38.96\00:55:43.58
they will open and we
00:55:43.78\00:55:46.94
shall tread the streets of gold.
00:55:47.14\00:55:52.30
Of gold.
00:55:52.60\00:55:55.23
When we all
00:55:55.44\00:55:59.15
get to heaven,
00:55:59.25\00:56:03.08
What a day of
rejoicing that will be!
00:56:03.88\00:56:09.12
For when we all
00:56:09.42\00:56:14.12
see Jesus,
00:56:14.35\00:56:17.59
We'll sing and
shout the victory.
00:56:17.89\00:56:23.24
So when we all
00:56:23.34\00:56:27.25
get to heaven,
00:56:27.45\00:56:31.51
What a day of
rejoicing that will be!
00:56:31.81\00:56:37.58
For when we all
00:56:37.88\00:56:41.05
see Jesus,
00:56:41.25\00:56:46.81
we'll sing and shout...
00:56:46.91\00:56:49.51
we'll sing and shout...
00:56:49.61\00:56:52.85
we'll sing and shout
00:56:52.95\00:56:55.60
the victory.
00:56:55.70\00:57:01.16
Amen.
00:57:09.46\00:57:12.01
Going to be a great
day and a great time.
00:57:12.21\00:57:15.89
You must promise even now
00:57:16.09\00:57:18.18
to be there on that
grand and glorious day.
00:57:18.38\00:57:22.09
And the good news
is it's coming soon,
00:57:22.29\00:57:26.92
soon, and very soon. Amen?
00:57:27.12\00:57:30.92
