Holy temple
00:00:15.60\00:00:18.28
The Lord is in His holy temple
00:00:18.31\00:00:25.75
Let all the earth keep silence
00:00:25.78\00:00:33.32
Let all the earth
00:00:33.35\00:00:37.16
Keep silence
00:00:37.19\00:00:40.88
Before Him
00:00:40.91\00:00:48.87
Keep silence
00:00:48.90\00:00:56.91
Before Him
00:00:56.94\00:01:03.80
Amen
00:01:06.39\00:01:12.89
Happy Sabbath
GYC. Happy Sabbath.
00:01:17.86\00:01:21.52
I had the privilege to
travel to Pretoria, South Africa
00:01:21.55\00:01:24.99
in July 2013 for
the World Conference
00:01:25.02\00:01:28.25
on Youth and Community Services.
00:01:28.28\00:01:30.22
It is organized by the General
Conference Youth Department
00:01:30.25\00:01:33.25
and hosted by the
Southern Africa-Indian Ocean,
00:01:33.28\00:01:35.94
which is my home division.
00:01:35.97\00:01:37.79
And our world youth
director Gilbert Cangy
00:01:37.82\00:01:41.12
was gracious enough
to invite GYC to organize
00:01:41.15\00:01:44.24
and help plan the Sabbath
outreach for the Congress.
00:01:44.27\00:01:47.93
And so it was an
interesting project for us.
00:01:47.96\00:01:49.81
The logistics were interesting,
but it's such a blessing to get
00:01:49.84\00:01:54.27
to the Sabbath day
and to see 45 buses
00:01:54.30\00:01:57.75
and to have young
people getting on those buses
00:01:57.78\00:01:59.90
and have 20,000 copies
of the Great Controversy
00:01:59.93\00:02:03.90
to pass on to the community.
00:02:03.93\00:02:05.79
And one story
that really touched me,
00:02:05.82\00:02:07.97
there was a young
person who came up to me
00:02:08.00\00:02:10.07
just when we had
finished loading the bus
00:02:10.10\00:02:11.97
and I was standing in the
bus loading area as the last bus
00:02:12.00\00:02:15.43
put out of the lot and
he runs up to me and says,
00:02:15.46\00:02:18.73
"Do you have, where's
the bus, where's the bus."
00:02:18.76\00:02:21.19
And I had to say to him,
"the last bus just left."
00:02:21.22\00:02:24.80
And you could see his face fall.
00:02:24.83\00:02:26.69
Then he turns to me and
says, "Okay, do you have books.
00:02:26.72\00:02:30.08
Do you have any books?"
00:02:30.11\00:02:31.22
And we had the one last
box of the Great Controversy,
00:02:31.25\00:02:33.81
I gave the box to him,
and he goes out on the street
00:02:33.84\00:02:36.84
and starts
passing out the books.
00:02:36.87\00:02:39.19
Then he comes
back to me and says,
00:02:39.22\00:02:40.79
"do you have more books."
00:02:40.82\00:02:43.33
And I said, "That was
my last box unfortunately."
00:02:43.36\00:02:46.41
And he says, "I want to go back
home and pass out these books.
00:02:46.44\00:02:49.94
And I was so- it was
exciting to have the 45 buses.
00:02:49.97\00:02:53.21
It was exciting
to have 20,000 copies
00:02:53.24\00:02:55.67
of the books out
in the community.
00:02:55.70\00:02:57.39
The most exciting thing for me
00:02:57.42\00:02:59.57
was to see young
people get on those buses
00:02:59.60\00:03:01.63
and come back and say,
"I want to do this at home."
00:03:01.66\00:03:04.89
And we can do that too, amen.
00:03:04.92\00:03:07.39
Now Chantal has some exciting
mission up based for us.
00:03:07.42\00:03:09.95
Chantal, how old are you?
00:03:09.98\00:03:11.38
You don't mind
me asking. I am 17.
00:03:11.41\00:03:13.50
Seventeen years
old, okay, go ahead.
00:03:13.53\00:03:15.74
Good morning, GYC. Are
you excited to be here?
00:03:15.77\00:03:19.99
We have some exciting
news of GYC intermissions
00:03:20.02\00:03:22.93
that took place last summer.
00:03:22.96\00:03:24.61
And the first one was
to Allentown, Pennsylvania,
00:03:24.64\00:03:27.41
and Joanne here was there.
00:03:27.44\00:03:29.32
And by God's grace a 197
Bible requests were made.
00:03:29.35\00:03:33.28
Can we say amen?
00:03:33.31\00:03:34.80
Here in North America
something is happening,
00:03:34.83\00:03:37.46
so, Joanne, please share
with us a testimony from there.
00:03:37.49\00:03:41.27
Now the experience in
Pennsylvania was amazing.
00:03:41.30\00:03:44.15
Lots of people were impacted,
but an amazing story happened
00:03:44.18\00:03:47.55
right after the mission.
00:03:47.58\00:03:49.20
One of the
missionaries who came,
00:03:49.23\00:03:50.44
a nurse from Massachusetts.
00:03:50.47\00:03:51.90
She went back to her hometown
so moved by her experience
00:03:51.93\00:03:55.68
that she approached
her pastor she said,
00:03:55.71\00:03:57.80
"I want to do this here,
00:03:57.83\00:03:59.28
I want to do
this with our church,
00:03:59.31\00:04:00.73
I want to go out
because I know there is a need."
00:04:00.76\00:04:04.20
The pastor was so excited
that she was so enthusiastic,
00:04:04.23\00:04:07.03
they paired
together, they started training
00:04:07.06\00:04:09.54
and they started ministering
their church going door to door
00:04:09.57\00:04:11.94
and doing outreach
and everyone is so excited
00:04:11.97\00:04:14.77
that the passion is
within their church.
00:04:14.80\00:04:17.44
Amen.
00:04:17.47\00:04:18.50
Can you say amen? Amen.
00:04:18.53\00:04:20.05
We had another
mission to Manitoulin
00:04:20.08\00:04:22.19
which took place in
August and James here was there.
00:04:22.22\00:04:25.98
Can you tell us why did you go?
00:04:26.01\00:04:28.42
Well, when I first heard
about the number of Adventists
00:04:28.45\00:04:31.10
on the island, I was excited.
00:04:31.13\00:04:32.98
And what is the
number? Just one.
00:04:33.01\00:04:34.89
Just one on the whole island.
00:04:34.92\00:04:37.21
And so I was very interested
in going on the mission trip
00:04:37.24\00:04:40.33
and I remember Jesus saying
00:04:40.36\00:04:41.76
that the harvest
is truly plentiful,
00:04:41.79\00:04:44.38
but the laborers are few.
00:04:44.41\00:04:46.43
And once I've realized
that I said, you know what,
00:04:46.46\00:04:49.15
I cannot just
sit here comfortable.
00:04:49.18\00:04:51.71
I have to go, even if
it's in North America.
00:04:51.74\00:04:54.82
Amen.
00:04:54.85\00:04:56.12
And so what were the conditions?
00:04:56.15\00:04:58.23
It was so exotic.
00:04:58.26\00:05:00.48
I'm playing, I'm super playing.
00:05:03.26\00:05:04.72
We got there and
it was like a jungle.
00:05:04.75\00:05:06.31
I mean, the grass
was up to my waist.
00:05:06.34\00:05:08.55
The guy gave me a lawnmower.
00:05:08.58\00:05:09.78
I'm like you want me to mow this
00:05:09.81\00:05:11.14
with the push mower.
00:05:11.17\00:05:13.06
He is like, yeah.
00:05:13.09\00:05:14.36
So I mowed and
then we slept in tents.
00:05:14.39\00:05:16.59
You know, I'm used
to sleeping in houses.
00:05:16.62\00:05:18.76
We slept in
tents, but it was intense
00:05:18.79\00:05:21.34
but at the same
time it was a blessing
00:05:21.37\00:05:24.63
because we were all
doing it together, amen.
00:05:24.66\00:05:26.60
Yes.
00:05:26.63\00:05:27.83
And this was in North
America. Now last but not least.
00:05:27.86\00:05:31.79
Tell us about the
health expo that took place?
00:05:31.82\00:05:33.96
Oh, man, the health
expo was super exciting
00:05:33.99\00:05:37.30
and it was a blessing.
00:05:37.33\00:05:38.36
I believe that the
people were very intrigued
00:05:38.39\00:05:41.04
at the diversity they
saw and also at the very fact
00:05:41.07\00:05:44.78
that we came from all
different types of places
00:05:44.81\00:05:47.24
and we were working together.
00:05:47.27\00:05:48.52
We weren't just about
preaching and praying,
00:05:48.55\00:05:50.19
but we were also making
an impact on the community
00:05:50.22\00:05:52.23
and they were extremely
blessed by seeing our faces.
00:05:52.26\00:05:54.73
Thank you. Ken also
was at the same mission.
00:05:54.76\00:05:57.69
And, Ken, can you
tell us what you did?
00:05:57.72\00:06:00.89
Well, I helped with
the health expo also
00:06:00.92\00:06:03.51
but we did canvassing first.
00:06:03.54\00:06:05.62
Canvassing, did you hear that?
00:06:05.65\00:06:07.78
Tell us a story from
your canvassing experience?
00:06:07.81\00:06:11.22
Well, it was probably,
00:06:11.25\00:06:13.89
I think third or
fourth day we went canvassing
00:06:13.92\00:06:15.80
and we were having
a pretty rough day.
00:06:15.83\00:06:19.48
I was out with James here,
00:06:19.51\00:06:21.59
we weren't selling
a whole lot of books.
00:06:21.62\00:06:24.09
It was just kind
of, it was very rough
00:06:24.12\00:06:26.12
and I was just praying
that we would get something,
00:06:26.15\00:06:30.79
just the Lord
would show us something
00:06:30.82\00:06:32.79
and it was
getting later in the day
00:06:32.82\00:06:35.96
and we come up
to this one house.
00:06:35.99\00:06:39.25
And there is this young
lady sitting on the stairs
00:06:39.28\00:06:43.12
and she is just sitting
there, she's kind of like crying
00:06:43.15\00:06:47.09
and smoking cigarette
and we get up little closer
00:06:47.12\00:06:49.97
and we know that
she's got green hair and...
00:06:50.00\00:06:54.60
so we got to her and ask her
how she's going and she says,
00:06:54.63\00:06:57.87
she is having a pretty bad day.
00:06:57.90\00:07:00.14
And so we say
that we are Christian
00:07:00.17\00:07:04.84
and we just like to pray
with her if that would be okay.
00:07:04.87\00:07:08.09
And she agreed, she said
yes, that would be great.
00:07:08.12\00:07:13.60
And so we prayed with her
and then James starts going
00:07:13.63\00:07:18.19
through the
canvass with the books
00:07:18.22\00:07:21.09
and I was just thinking,
00:07:21.12\00:07:23.14
this young lady
doesn't have any money.
00:07:23.17\00:07:24.99
I mean, we do give like
the Great Controversy away
00:07:25.02\00:07:29.22
on occasion,
00:07:29.25\00:07:30.40
but she is not
going to have enough money
00:07:30.43\00:07:31.97
to buy any of the other books.
00:07:32.00\00:07:33.03
But after James was done
with the canvass, she says,
00:07:33.06\00:07:38.25
oh this great, I
just got paid today
00:07:38.28\00:07:40.05
and she like pulled
out a amount of cash,
00:07:40.08\00:07:43.51
so not only we
were able to leave
00:07:43.54\00:07:45.16
Great Controversy with her,
00:07:45.19\00:07:46.22
but we were able to
leave Steps to Christ with her.
00:07:46.25\00:07:49.45
And then as we left,
we were going up the path,
00:07:49.48\00:07:54.88
as soon as we were leaving
00:07:54.91\00:07:56.42
the van pulled up to
pick us up for lunch.
00:07:56.45\00:07:59.60
So if that van would have
came just a few minute sooner,
00:07:59.63\00:08:02.88
we'd have never
met this young lady
00:08:02.91\00:08:04.21
and being able to pray with her
and leave those books with her.
00:08:04.24\00:08:07.28
Amen. Friends,
what is your excuse.
00:08:07.31\00:08:11.25
Why are we still sitting here?
Why are we still on this earth?
00:08:11.28\00:08:15.36
I see a room full of people,
00:08:15.39\00:08:18.00
people that are capable
of doing than more we did,
00:08:18.03\00:08:22.09
people that are
capable of finishing the work.
00:08:22.12\00:08:24.64
You see, mission is
not about the intermissions
00:08:24.67\00:08:26.99
that GYC hold for
two weeks every summer.
00:08:27.02\00:08:30.12
Mission must take place
everywhere and all the time.
00:08:30.15\00:08:34.50
On Wednesday Justin
McNeilus shared with us
00:08:34.53\00:08:36.88
that GYC is
radical commitment to him.
00:08:36.91\00:08:41.25
Are you
radically committed to him?
00:08:41.28\00:08:43.68
Are you radically
committed to him, GYC?
00:08:43.71\00:08:46.20
Amen.
00:08:46.23\00:08:47.26
I only heard the
front of the rows.
00:08:47.29\00:08:50.33
Are we radically
committed to God?
00:08:50.36\00:08:52.39
Amen.
00:08:52.42\00:08:53.45
If we are
radically committed to God,
00:08:53.48\00:08:55.59
mission must take
place wherever we are, amen.
00:08:55.62\00:09:00.06
Ken was able to give out
00:09:00.09\00:09:01.76
Great
Controversy's day after day.
00:09:01.79\00:09:04.50
Next year at GYC
00:09:04.53\00:09:05.85
we need to hear more people
coming up and sharing with us
00:09:05.88\00:09:09.30
that they too have
been taking up the call
00:09:09.33\00:09:11.81
and that mission work
has been taking place, amen.
00:09:11.84\00:09:15.20
Thank you.
00:09:15.23\00:09:16.26
Let everything that
has breath praise the Lord.
00:09:22.82\00:09:26.45
Hallelujah. Maranatha.
00:09:26.48\00:09:31.21
Are you here today
to receive a blessing?
00:09:31.24\00:09:34.46
How many of you are here
today to be a blessing, amen.
00:09:34.49\00:09:39.67
Is our God worthy to be praised?
00:09:39.70\00:09:42.29
Then let's worship
Him in sprit and in truth.
00:09:42.32\00:09:47.64
If we still commit
sin, He is not our savior.
00:09:47.67\00:09:50.37
Is He our savior, then He
is able to save us from sin.
00:09:50.40\00:09:56.10
Is He our Lord?
00:09:56.13\00:09:59.27
Let summit to Him.
00:09:59.30\00:10:02.21
If we do not summit to
Him, He is not our Lord.
00:10:02.24\00:10:04.76
But if He is our Lord,
00:10:04.79\00:10:05.83
we will follow
Him, He is our master.
00:10:05.86\00:10:10.19
This Sabbath day is the
day of great celebration.
00:10:10.22\00:10:14.84
It's a memorial
day, for the Lord Himself
00:10:14.87\00:10:17.57
keep the Sabbath, amen.
00:10:17.60\00:10:19.56
We remember creation.
We remember redemption.
00:10:19.59\00:10:23.33
We remember the great exaltation
00:10:23.36\00:10:25.61
of the angels in heaven
as described in scripture.
00:10:25.64\00:10:28.59
They exalt him today.
Do we exalt him today?
00:10:28.62\00:10:33.12
We remember His salvation,
00:10:33.15\00:10:36.79
sanctification and
glorification, things
00:10:36.82\00:10:39.07
we can remember and
things we can look forward to.
00:10:39.10\00:10:42.11
I remember as I had
the privilege to serve
00:10:42.14\00:10:44.99
as the missionary
in the Arctic Circle.
00:10:45.02\00:10:47.44
We read
scripture and we saw that
00:10:47.47\00:10:49.29
Sabbath is from
sun dawn to sun dawn,
00:10:49.32\00:10:51.29
but in the Arctic
there was no sun dawn.
00:10:51.32\00:10:55.53
There were challenges
we had as Sabbath keepers
00:10:55.56\00:10:57.67
as we look forward
to keep the Sabbath.
00:10:57.70\00:11:02.15
But we were happy
to have a world church
00:11:02.18\00:11:04.66
that is connected that
keeps the Sabbath, amen.
00:11:04.69\00:11:07.10
And God showed
us a way to keep it.
00:11:07.13\00:11:09.91
I had the opportunity
to work with young people
00:11:09.94\00:11:12.08
and very young
children, they were adopted.
00:11:12.11\00:11:14.47
It's a custom
there to be adopted
00:11:14.50\00:11:16.04
when the family is not able
to take care of the children,
00:11:16.07\00:11:18.49
they give them to
adoption to their relatives.
00:11:18.52\00:11:21.76
And so the relatives they
take care of the children.
00:11:21.79\00:11:24.14
And one day they asked me,
00:11:24.17\00:11:25.49
"Erwin, tell us
about you family?"
00:11:25.52\00:11:26.90
And I told them I have
parents, I have a sister.
00:11:26.93\00:11:28.60
The said, "What,
you are not adopted."
00:11:28.63\00:11:31.47
Look at Erwin, he is
not even adopted yet.
00:11:31.50\00:11:35.34
But I was happy to tell them
00:11:35.37\00:11:36.93
that our adoption is
of the Heavenly Father.
00:11:36.96\00:11:40.77
There is a Heavenly
Father that takes care of us.
00:11:40.80\00:11:42.97
He is our
Father, He is our Lord,
00:11:43.00\00:11:44.93
He is our Savior.
00:11:44.96\00:11:46.55
And in 1 Timothy 3:14 to
16, Paul is writing a letter
00:11:46.58\00:11:51.11
and the purpose of his letter
describes it very clearly that
00:11:51.14\00:11:54.62
he considers the
church as the family,
00:11:54.65\00:11:56.78
as the house of God.
00:11:56.81\00:11:58.41
In fact his language
also has some architectural
00:11:58.44\00:12:01.57
implications there
as the pillar of truth,
00:12:01.60\00:12:03.55
I want to read
it to you, it says,
00:12:03.58\00:12:05.30
"These things write I unto thee,
00:12:05.33\00:12:06.90
hoping to come
unto thee shortly.
00:12:06.93\00:12:08.89
But if I tarry long,
that thou mayest know
00:12:08.92\00:12:11.12
how thou oughtest to behave
thyself in the house of God
00:12:11.15\00:12:14.82
which is the
church of the living God,
00:12:14.85\00:12:16.98
the pillar and ground of truth."
00:12:17.01\00:12:20.16
And then the beautiful hymn,
"And without controversy great
00:12:20.19\00:12:23.15
is the mystery of godliness,
God was manifest in the flesh,
00:12:23.18\00:12:27.67
justified in the
Spirit, seen of angels,
00:12:27.70\00:12:33.39
preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world,
00:12:33.42\00:12:38.73
received up into glory."
00:12:38.76\00:12:41.80
Let's worship the Lord.
00:12:41.83\00:12:43.71
Are you here to
receive a blessing?
00:12:43.74\00:12:45.56
Are you here to be a blessing?
00:12:45.59\00:12:47.54
Let everything that
has breath praise the Lord.
00:12:47.57\00:12:50.67
Hallelujah, amen,
00:12:50.70\00:12:52.47
Maranatha, amen.
00:12:52.50\00:12:54.33
We have the
privilege this morning
00:12:57.86\00:12:59.44
to read God's
word together at GYC,
00:12:59.47\00:13:01.57
so please turn with
me to Acts Chapter 17.
00:13:01.60\00:13:04.35
And our scripture
reading will be found
00:13:08.45\00:13:09.81
in verses 24 to the
beginning of verse 28,
00:13:09.84\00:13:13.30
Acts 17 verses 24 to
the beginning of verse 28.
00:13:13.33\00:13:18.29
And the Bible says,
00:13:18.32\00:13:20.57
"God, who made the
world and everything in it,
00:13:20.60\00:13:24.18
since He is the
Lord of heaven and earth,
00:13:24.21\00:13:27.25
does not dwell in
temples made with hands.
00:13:27.28\00:13:30.68
Nor is He
worshiped with men's hands,
00:13:30.71\00:13:32.51
as though He needed anything,
00:13:32.54\00:13:34.58
since He gives to all
life, breath, and all things.
00:13:34.61\00:13:38.85
And He has made from one blood
00:13:38.88\00:13:41.06
every nation of men to
dwell on the face of the earth,
00:13:41.09\00:13:44.59
and has determined
their pre-appointed times
00:13:44.62\00:13:47.10
and the boundaries
of their dwellings,
00:13:47.13\00:13:49.39
so that they
should seek the Lord,
00:13:49.42\00:13:51.75
in the hope that they might
grope for Him and find Him,
00:13:51.78\00:13:55.54
though He is not
far from each one of us,
00:13:55.57\00:13:58.42
for in Him we live and
move and have our being."
00:13:58.45\00:14:02.86
May the Lord add a blessing
to the reading of His word?
00:14:02.89\00:14:05.45
God of our fathers
00:14:28.02\00:14:32.79
Whose almighty hand
00:14:32.82\00:14:37.11
Leads forth in beauty
00:14:37.14\00:14:41.89
All the starry band
00:14:41.92\00:14:46.32
Of shining worlds
00:14:46.35\00:14:50.50
In splendor through the skies
00:14:50.53\00:14:55.95
Our grateful songs
00:14:55.98\00:15:00.02
Before Thy throne arise
00:15:00.05\00:15:05.36
Thy love divine
00:15:10.48\00:15:14.78
Hath led us in the past
00:15:14.81\00:15:20.17
In this free land
00:15:20.20\00:15:24.45
By Thee our lot is cast
00:15:24.48\00:15:29.80
Be Thou our ruler
00:15:29.83\00:15:34.86
Guardian, guide, and stay
00:15:34.89\00:15:39.96
Thy word our law
00:15:39.99\00:15:44.01
Thy paths our chosen way
00:15:44.04\00:15:48.19
From war's alarms
00:15:54.78\00:15:59.10
From deadly pestilence
00:15:59.13\00:16:04.43
Be Thy strong arm
00:16:04.46\00:16:08.75
Our ever sure defense
00:16:08.78\00:16:14.31
Thy true religion
00:16:14.34\00:16:18.53
In our hearts increase
00:16:18.56\00:16:24.02
Thy bounteous goodness
00:16:24.05\00:16:29.50
Nourish us in peace
00:16:29.53\00:16:33.15
Refresh Thy people
00:16:38.81\00:16:43.95
On their toilsome way
00:16:43.98\00:16:48.57
Lead us from night
00:16:48.60\00:16:52.62
To never-ending day
00:16:52.65\00:16:58.12
Fill all our lives
00:16:58.15\00:17:02.36
With love and grace divine
00:17:02.39\00:17:07.99
And glory, laud
00:17:08.02\00:17:12.36
And praise be ever Thine
00:17:12.39\00:17:19.61
Happy Sabbath, GYC.
00:17:45.04\00:17:48.39
It's good to see
you all once again.
00:17:48.42\00:17:50.60
And I'm very excited to be here
00:17:50.63\00:17:52.17
with my new friend
Susan, with Natasha.
00:17:52.20\00:17:56.04
And I want to ask a question
00:17:56.07\00:17:58.13
that has been on my
mind for a long time
00:17:58.16\00:18:01.46
but I've never been
able to ask someone.
00:18:01.49\00:18:04.75
When I first came to GYC
00:18:04.78\00:18:06.32
I was so excited
about the conference.
00:18:06.35\00:18:08.68
I came in '07 for the first time
00:18:08.71\00:18:10.29
and it had a drastic
influence on my life.
00:18:10.32\00:18:13.07
I remember going
for the first time
00:18:13.10\00:18:14.37
and seeing a
group of young people
00:18:14.40\00:18:15.93
who are committed to the gospel
willing to give everything.
00:18:15.96\00:18:20.98
And so I decided to give
my life to Christ as well
00:18:21.01\00:18:23.60
and it played a
drastic role in that.
00:18:23.63\00:18:25.21
But then after
a while I wondered
00:18:25.24\00:18:26.61
what is the value of GYC.
00:18:26.64\00:18:28.30
Has anybody ever wondered
that if they are honest?
00:18:28.33\00:18:30.27
What is the
value of coming to GYC?
00:18:30.30\00:18:33.00
And so I started to think
00:18:33.03\00:18:34.16
and I even started
to talk to other people.
00:18:34.19\00:18:35.64
Maybe GYC is just a place
to give people a platform.
00:18:35.67\00:18:38.87
Maybe these are
just power hungry people
00:18:38.90\00:18:41.25
who just want a place to speak.
00:18:41.28\00:18:43.46
And this was my
thoughts, I was wondering
00:18:43.49\00:18:45.38
why are we
wasting all of this money.
00:18:45.41\00:18:47.03
You guys have
spend so much to come.
00:18:47.06\00:18:48.80
We spend so much
to make this happen.
00:18:48.83\00:18:52.36
But after being
involved with GYC,
00:18:52.39\00:18:53.76
I've started to
have a different picture,
00:18:53.79\00:18:55.17
but I want to ask
Natasha this morning
00:18:55.20\00:18:56.94
is that you've been involved
with GYC for a long time now.
00:18:56.97\00:19:01.23
And what is it that has caused
you to be involved for so long
00:19:01.26\00:19:04.11
and why are you
continuing to be involved?
00:19:04.14\00:19:05.64
What is GYC to
every person here?
00:19:05.67\00:19:08.58
I'll tell you,
Taylor, the reason why
00:19:08.61\00:19:10.83
I love GYC is just
exactly what you said
00:19:10.86\00:19:12.84
because it's not
just this conference.
00:19:12.87\00:19:14.81
As much as I love coming here
00:19:14.84\00:19:16.26
and attending
just this conference,
00:19:16.29\00:19:17.96
I tell you I go home
back to my home church
00:19:17.99\00:19:20.97
and the town that
my home church is in
00:19:21.00\00:19:22.50
it's just a little
tiny like has a population
00:19:22.53\00:19:25.08
about 150 barely even a
town, right called Pitone
00:19:25.11\00:19:28.71
and there in my
young home church,
00:19:28.74\00:19:30.75
the young people
have been changed,
00:19:30.78\00:19:32.62
and they're acting out
and going out into the streets
00:19:32.65\00:19:34.64
and working, you know, going
door and door saying to people.
00:19:34.67\00:19:37.51
I went to
Charleston, West Virginia
00:19:37.54\00:19:39.80
and there the young
people were going door to door
00:19:39.83\00:19:41.85
reaching out and Bible
studies were just flocking and.
00:19:41.88\00:19:44.55
I go over to Europe to learn
and I see young people there
00:19:44.58\00:19:48.58
they're just on fire going out
00:19:48.61\00:19:51.46
and flying at the continent
of Europe for Jesus Christ.
00:19:51.49\00:19:54.74
I went this summer to Kisangani
00:19:54.77\00:19:56.76
in Democratic Republic of Congo,
00:19:56.79\00:19:58.83
the town took us like three days
00:19:58.86\00:20:00.50
to get out there
out in the middle
00:20:00.53\00:20:02.24
and there were
planes barely get back there
00:20:02.27\00:20:04.31
and when we were there
in the streets of Kisangani
00:20:04.34\00:20:06.41
people came up to my
brothers and I and they're like,
00:20:06.44\00:20:08.78
"You're with GYC, can
you do a week of prayer,
00:20:08.81\00:20:10.82
we want young people
here to get the same thing.
00:20:10.85\00:20:12.40
The reason is why
I am involved in GYC
00:20:12.43\00:20:13.93
is because it's a
network of young people
00:20:13.96\00:20:15.90
that are actually on
fire and changing the world,
00:20:15.93\00:20:19.51
it changes the world
and that's why I'm excited,
00:20:19.54\00:20:21.32
that's why I am here.
00:20:21.35\00:20:23.01
You know, we actually
have an example of that
00:20:23.04\00:20:25.02
here with Susan.
00:20:25.05\00:20:26.64
Susan, when, how
did you hear about GYC?
00:20:26.67\00:20:29.84
I first heard about GYC
watching 3ABN back in Dubai
00:20:29.87\00:20:34.82
and it was a prerecorded message
00:20:34.85\00:20:37.25
and that's how I
came to hear about GYC.
00:20:37.28\00:20:38.95
Now you heard about
GYC on 3ABN in Dubai
00:20:38.98\00:20:42.57
and then what happened?
00:20:42.60\00:20:44.39
After I heard about
GYC while watching 3ABN
00:20:44.42\00:20:47.42
there was a contact information
and that was www.gycweb.org.
00:20:47.45\00:20:51.17
And I checked it out
00:20:51.20\00:20:52.24
and about six months
later I was in Houston.
00:20:52.27\00:20:56.37
You were in
Houston, so you watched 3ABN,
00:20:56.40\00:20:58.60
you came to Houston.
00:20:58.63\00:21:00.39
Now what impact did
GYC have on your life
00:21:00.42\00:21:03.03
when you came to the
conference in Houston?
00:21:03.06\00:21:05.87
When I came to the
conference in Houston,
00:21:05.90\00:21:07.65
that was basically my first
GYC so I was tentative within,
00:21:07.68\00:21:11.71
but we were given a
booklet that was called Ten Days
00:21:11.74\00:21:15.17
in the Upper Room, I
think by Mark Finley.
00:21:15.20\00:21:17.47
And we had sessions
to do morning devotions
00:21:17.50\00:21:20.44
and I think I
started reading this book
00:21:20.47\00:21:21.98
and taking time to
have a devoted time
00:21:22.01\00:21:24.90
and I think it just impacted
my devotion life after that,
00:21:24.93\00:21:28.68
I started reading more.
00:21:28.71\00:21:30.18
So you started
reading more, you started
00:21:30.21\00:21:31.57
having devotional
life for the first time.
00:21:31.60\00:21:33.22
Now, when you
went back to Dubai,
00:21:33.25\00:21:35.04
did you just go
back to life as normal
00:21:35.07\00:21:37.27
or did something changed?
00:21:37.30\00:21:39.27
Actually something did change.
00:21:39.30\00:21:43.79
There was a session I
think of Panel for ECOM
00:21:43.82\00:21:45.69
just before we left
00:21:45.72\00:21:46.75
and somebody from
the audience asked,
00:21:46.78\00:21:48.97
how can we help GYC and I think
00:21:49.00\00:21:50.63
it was Justin
McNeilus who said you can go
00:21:50.66\00:21:53.04
and help GYC by being
active in your local church.
00:21:53.07\00:21:57.21
And there was- there was
sheets of paper on our seats
00:21:57.24\00:22:02.27
about Conflict
of the Ages series
00:22:02.30\00:22:05.00
which I had not
heard until then.
00:22:05.03\00:22:07.56
But it was a guide to help
you read the Bible side by side.
00:22:07.59\00:22:11.27
And so when I went
back to a local church,
00:22:11.30\00:22:13.57
I took that with
me and started reading
00:22:13.60\00:22:15.38
and along with other
young people in my church.
00:22:15.41\00:22:18.10
So how many of you
were at Houston GYC?
00:22:18.13\00:22:20.42
Is there anyone
else who is here?
00:22:20.45\00:22:21.77
Now do you guys remember
all those Conflict of the Ages
00:22:21.80\00:22:24.57
series little pamphlet
cards that were on your seats.
00:22:24.60\00:22:27.19
Does anybody remember those?
00:22:27.22\00:22:29.09
Now, how many of
you just went home
00:22:29.12\00:22:30.55
and threw those away?
00:22:30.58\00:22:32.43
Now it's
interesting, Susan finds this
00:22:32.46\00:22:35.65
and what we take
advantage of here in America
00:22:35.68\00:22:38.08
Susan from Dubai,
she hadn't even heard
00:22:38.11\00:22:41.28
of the Conflict of
the Ages series before.
00:22:41.31\00:22:43.51
Now does that blow
anyone else's mind?
00:22:43.54\00:22:45.56
She didn't even know
00:22:45.59\00:22:46.62
what the Conflict
of the Ages series was.
00:22:46.65\00:22:48.43
So she hears about it
for the first time at GYC,
00:22:48.46\00:22:51.77
she goes back to her church
and you just start reading it
00:22:51.80\00:22:54.88
by yourself or what happens?
00:22:54.91\00:22:57.54
I talk to a
couple of other friends
00:22:57.57\00:23:00.15
and we came up with eight people
00:23:00.18\00:23:01.87
who are
interested in doing the study
00:23:01.90\00:23:04.65
and we photocopied this
papers and read together,
00:23:04.68\00:23:10.49
but above that we started
asking members of our church
00:23:10.52\00:23:13.73
to read together with us.
00:23:13.76\00:23:15.24
And out of that our
literature evangelism club
00:23:15.27\00:23:18.70
came up just the eight of us.
00:23:18.73\00:23:21.40
So she didn't just go
back and sit in her closet
00:23:21.43\00:23:24.21
inside of her room and
read the Great Controversy
00:23:24.24\00:23:26.30
and other things like
that with no one else knowing,
00:23:26.33\00:23:28.76
but she caused other
people to do the same thing.
00:23:28.79\00:23:31.84
Now, you have a
very interesting job
00:23:31.87\00:23:34.27
that not everybody
in this audience has.
00:23:34.30\00:23:36.16
Tell us about your
job and how that's helped
00:23:36.19\00:23:38.14
with your
Literature Ministries Ministry?
00:23:38.17\00:23:40.68
I don't know if it's interesting
00:23:40.71\00:23:42.25
but I'm a flight attendant
back in Dubai, based in Dubai,
00:23:42.28\00:23:46.90
and being a flight attendant
00:23:46.93\00:23:48.08
I'm able to meet a
lot of people everyday.
00:23:48.11\00:23:50.36
But apart from being
able to just share that,
00:23:50.39\00:23:53.80
here in America you guys have
a lot of Adventist book stores.
00:23:53.83\00:23:58.51
In Dubai and most
parts of the Middle East
00:23:58.54\00:24:00.41
we do not have that.
00:24:00.44\00:24:01.75
And so we can't buy
Adventist literature
00:24:01.78\00:24:03.98
or material in Dubai
00:24:04.01\00:24:05.50
or different parts
of the Middle East.
00:24:05.53\00:24:07.20
So what I do as
a flight attendant
00:24:07.23\00:24:08.57
as when I come on to work
00:24:08.60\00:24:10.21
maybe if I have a
layover in Washington D.C.
00:24:10.24\00:24:13.41
I would visit the
Adventist book mart, ABC store
00:24:13.44\00:24:17.06
and I'd buy literature
and take it back to Dubai,
00:24:17.09\00:24:19.49
because we have
orders within our church
00:24:19.52\00:24:21.51
for the club that I work for.
00:24:21.54\00:24:23.62
So because of her job she is
able to buy hundreds of books.
00:24:23.65\00:24:27.28
Hundreds.
00:24:27.31\00:24:28.34
And how many books
have you given out so far?
00:24:28.37\00:24:30.67
I think in a period of two years
00:24:30.70\00:24:32.80
we're looking about
3,000 books and above.
00:24:32.83\00:24:35.56
About 3,000 books
00:24:35.59\00:24:39.04
and now it's not
just any books right,
00:24:39.07\00:24:41.64
you said, you'd never heard
00:24:41.67\00:24:43.32
of the Conflict of
the Ages series before
00:24:43.35\00:24:45.97
and now she has delivered
over 700 of those series
00:24:46.00\00:24:48.93
back to the
Middle East to people
00:24:48.96\00:24:50.46
who hadn't heard of it either.
00:24:50.49\00:24:52.40
What blows my mind is no one
told Susan to do this, right.
00:24:52.43\00:24:56.46
No one at GYC got up
and made an appeal and said
00:24:56.49\00:24:58.48
you've to go
back to your church,
00:24:58.51\00:25:00.04
start this sort of ministry,
but it was natural experience
00:25:00.07\00:25:03.38
that came from reading the books
00:25:03.41\00:25:05.41
and by reading the books
it impacted her life so much
00:25:05.44\00:25:08.14
that she had to
share with other people.
00:25:08.17\00:25:10.92
Now I want to talk to us
00:25:10.95\00:25:12.34
because here we're in America,
not all of us are Americans
00:25:12.37\00:25:15.75
and some of us can
praise the Lord for that,
00:25:15.78\00:25:17.78
I'm American so I can't
praise the Lord for that.
00:25:17.81\00:25:19.77
But America, we have
so many blessings, right.
00:25:19.80\00:25:22.73
And I mean it's
a mixed blessing.
00:25:22.76\00:25:24.29
Here's the mixed
blessing is we're so blessed
00:25:24.32\00:25:26.88
that we don't even realize it
00:25:26.91\00:25:28.71
because we have
Conflict of the Ages series
00:25:28.74\00:25:32.03
multiplied on our shelves
00:25:32.06\00:25:33.74
but yet how many of us
have actually read it before.
00:25:33.77\00:25:38.67
And then if we've read
them before how many of us
00:25:38.70\00:25:40.90
are so interested in
sharing it with other people
00:25:40.93\00:25:43.32
that we'd devote a large
amount of our time to it.
00:25:43.35\00:25:46.16
You know, it was by
Literature Ministries
00:25:46.19\00:25:47.62
being revived in the Middle East
00:25:47.65\00:25:49.78
that it started a revolution
00:25:49.81\00:25:51.13
and now people are starting
to read it all over the place.
00:25:51.16\00:25:54.96
And I wonder if we
took our books seriously
00:25:54.99\00:25:57.52
and saw the blessing
that Spirit of Prophecy is
00:25:57.55\00:26:00.57
and saw the blessing
that the literature work is,
00:26:00.60\00:26:03.04
what would
happened to our churches.
00:26:03.07\00:26:05.87
Now this morning we started
off with Natasha talking about
00:26:05.90\00:26:08.03
what is GYC.
00:26:08.06\00:26:09.09
GYC is a movement
that's impacting the world,
00:26:09.12\00:26:12.19
not because
there's a bunch of people
00:26:12.22\00:26:13.68
who are power hungry or
people who just want influence.
00:26:13.71\00:26:16.53
There's a bunch of people
00:26:16.56\00:26:17.59
who don't like to
be on stage with GYC,
00:26:17.62\00:26:20.14
but the only
reason why GYC exist
00:26:20.17\00:26:23.04
is because there's a
group of committed young people
00:26:23.07\00:26:25.46
inside the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:26:25.49\00:26:27.57
that wants to do all we can
to help see Jesus come soon.
00:26:27.60\00:26:31.57
And this morning we've seen
00:26:31.60\00:26:32.93
how it's impacted attendees life
00:26:32.96\00:26:34.60
who go back to their churches,
who start their own ministry
00:26:34.63\00:26:38.33
not with some huge committee
or brining speakers out,
00:26:38.36\00:26:41.64
but just brining
people to their local area
00:26:41.67\00:26:44.40
and giving them a book.
00:26:44.43\00:26:46.19
Now I want to ask this
morning how many of you think
00:26:46.22\00:26:47.77
you could do
something that simple.
00:26:47.80\00:26:50.60
We all have something
that we can do for God
00:26:50.63\00:26:53.47
and I want to
encourage each one of you
00:26:53.50\00:26:55.18
to go back to your
church and be active.
00:26:55.21\00:26:57.88
Now this morning-
00:26:57.91\00:26:59.02
this actually isn't
just an evangelism sign,
00:26:59.05\00:27:00.86
now this is
actually an offering appeal.
00:27:00.89\00:27:04.01
All of you have these envelopes
on your seats this morning,
00:27:04.04\00:27:06.90
Generation of Youth for Christ.
00:27:06.93\00:27:09.19
And these are offering envelopes
00:27:09.22\00:27:12.57
and I want to ask you to
take them out at this time.
00:27:12.60\00:27:14.67
GYC is not just
looking for money
00:27:14.70\00:27:16.69
so that they can
put on a conference
00:27:16.72\00:27:18.07
that's what your
registration fee covers.
00:27:18.10\00:27:21.65
But GYC is looking
for money to do evangelism
00:27:21.68\00:27:24.58
to support mission projects,
to support projects like
00:27:24.61\00:27:27.62
we did yesterday with passing
out the Great Controversy
00:27:27.65\00:27:30.50
and we need your help,
00:27:30.53\00:27:31.80
we need financial resources
to be able to give people
00:27:31.83\00:27:34.95
who are sitting in
darkness a little bit of light.
00:27:34.98\00:27:38.60
And I pray that as
we're so blessed in America
00:27:38.63\00:27:41.36
that our hearts would
not be hardened by that
00:27:41.39\00:27:43.75
but that we would be
softened to recognize
00:27:43.78\00:27:45.66
what Christ has done for us
00:27:45.69\00:27:47.45
and to give back to
His movement as well.
00:27:47.48\00:27:50.03
So if you open your envelope
this morning you can recognize
00:27:50.06\00:27:52.38
that there is
multiple ways you can give,
00:27:52.41\00:27:54.15
you can give by a
check, by cash, by credit card
00:27:54.18\00:27:57.80
or you can even
just pledge money,
00:27:57.83\00:27:59.93
you may not have money with you
but you may know sum is coming.
00:27:59.96\00:28:03.10
I ask that you would pledge
it and God can do great things
00:28:03.13\00:28:06.47
through your
resources this morning.
00:28:06.50\00:28:08.26
I want to ask you to consider
that at this time as we pray.
00:28:08.29\00:28:13.69
Father in heaven,
Lord, we recognize
00:28:13.72\00:28:15.43
that there is such
a mighty work to do
00:28:15.46\00:28:18.60
and Lord we're such a
small group of people.
00:28:18.63\00:28:21.94
But Lord, we
recognize that 12 people
00:28:21.97\00:28:24.22
changed the world in Your day.
00:28:24.25\00:28:26.94
And by Your grace Lord,
00:28:26.97\00:28:28.07
if You can just
work on our hearts
00:28:28.10\00:28:29.44
enough that we could do
something for You as well.
00:28:29.47\00:28:32.14
Lord, I pray that You'd
be with us as we recognize
00:28:32.17\00:28:34.41
that the work that You
have give us to do cost money.
00:28:34.44\00:28:37.24
Please soften our hearts
00:28:37.27\00:28:38.32
that we'd be willing
to give to Your cause.
00:28:38.35\00:28:40.74
In Christ name we pray, amen.
00:28:40.77\00:28:42.72
You alone are Holy
00:29:07.99\00:29:14.05
You alone are God

You are God
00:33:40.97\00:33:47.85
Our God
00:33:47.88\00:33:52.61
Who holds the wind in his hands?
00:35:19.22\00:35:25.16
Have you not heard?
00:35:27.47\00:35:29.76
Do you not know?
00:35:29.79\00:35:33.83
Morning breaks
00:35:33.86\00:35:37.18
At his command
00:35:37.21\00:35:42.23
Breaks at his command
00:35:42.26\00:35:47.37
Have you not heard?
00:35:47.40\00:35:49.87
Do you not know?
00:35:49.90\00:35:54.38
Who formed the stars
00:35:54.41\00:35:57.32
Called them by name
00:35:57.35\00:35:59.82
Who calms the storm
00:35:59.85\00:36:02.32
Sends gentle rain
00:36:02.35\00:36:05.87
Who hung the sun
and moon in space
00:36:05.90\00:36:12.22
Before all time began
00:36:16.79\00:36:21.94
Who knew creation's plan
00:36:21.97\00:36:27.45
Who gave the breath
00:36:27.48\00:36:30.51
Of life to man
00:36:30.54\00:36:36.99
Who gave the song its start
00:36:38.32\00:36:43.00
Who whispers to the heart
00:36:43.03\00:36:48.61
Who is the One
00:36:48.64\00:36:51.05
Who made the solemn night
00:36:51.08\00:36:57.54
Who knows the
dwelling place of Lord
00:36:57.57\00:37:03.91
Not a god of clay
00:37:08.22\00:37:13.60
Not a silent stone
00:37:13.63\00:37:19.38
Not a graven image made of gold
00:37:19.41\00:37:25.78
Have you not heard?
00:37:25.81\00:37:28.88
Do you not know?
00:37:28.91\00:37:31.26
Have you not heard?
00:37:31.29\00:37:33.71
Do you not know?
00:37:33.74\00:37:40.10
Have you not heard?
00:37:40.13\00:37:41.23
Do you not know?
00:37:41.26\00:37:42.44
Have you not heard?
00:37:42.47\00:37:43.63
Do you not know?
00:37:43.66\00:37:44.99
Have you not heard?
00:37:45.02\00:37:47.39
Do you not know?
00:37:47.42\00:37:51.35
Have you not heard?
00:37:51.38\00:37:52.59
Do you not know?
00:37:52.62\00:37:53.84
Are not you stone
00:38:07.76\00:38:15.23
We are the works of his hands
00:38:15.26\00:38:20.59
God is creator
00:38:20.62\00:38:25.98
Angels serve at His command
00:38:26.01\00:38:32.06
All creation bows before Him
00:38:32.09\00:38:37.98
And we must do the same
00:38:38.01\00:38:43.49
For God alone is worthy
00:38:43.52\00:38:49.28
Worthy of our prayers
00:38:49.31\00:38:54.29
For creation bows before him
00:38:54.32\00:38:59.57
And we must do the same
00:38:59.60\00:39:04.72
For God alone is worthy
00:39:04.75\00:39:10.62
Worthy of our prayers
00:39:10.65\00:39:16.89
Our God is worthy
00:39:16.92\00:39:21.06
He's worthy
00:39:21.09\00:39:25.38
Our God is love
00:39:25.41\00:39:31.38
Before I sing this song,
00:39:45.76\00:39:46.81
I just want to share
a little bit about it.
00:39:46.84\00:39:49.67
It's a song that's
written in the form of a story.
00:39:49.70\00:39:53.43
And it's a song talking
about the pain that one feels
00:39:58.19\00:40:05.34
when they go to heaven
00:40:05.37\00:40:08.27
looking for someone
that they thought was there
00:40:08.30\00:40:10.59
and found out
that they wasn't there.
00:40:10.62\00:40:12.96
And I know all of us
have people that we desire
00:40:12.99\00:40:15.95
to see there and
so as I sing this song
00:40:18.32\00:40:20.44
just think about them
00:40:20.47\00:40:21.50
and also think
about yourself as well
00:40:21.53\00:40:24.34
and where you stand with Jesus.
00:40:24.37\00:40:27.22
Listen.
00:40:27.25\00:40:30.96
I dreamt
00:40:30.99\00:40:32.55
I went to heaven last night
00:40:32.58\00:40:40.42
There were many
mansions up there
00:40:40.45\00:40:45.01
What a wonderful sight
00:40:45.04\00:40:50.59
Then I saw a door with your name
00:40:50.62\00:40:54.30
And something
else written in red
00:40:54.33\00:40:58.85
It said this one's empty
00:40:58.88\00:41:01.17
He wanted the world instead
00:41:01.20\00:41:07.11
Tears in Heaven
00:41:07.14\00:41:12.23
I know Jesus will wipe them away
00:41:12.26\00:41:16.18
And when I was crying
00:41:16.21\00:41:21.54
In His gentle
voice I heard Him say
00:41:21.57\00:41:26.08
There's a void in my heart
00:41:26.11\00:41:28.54
I wish you could see
00:41:28.57\00:41:30.95
I wanted him right here with me
00:41:30.98\00:41:35.38
And now I know why there will be
00:41:35.41\00:41:39.16
Tears in Heaven.
00:41:39.19\00:41:42.33
There were many
00:41:48.99\00:41:51.81
Searching for family and friends
00:41:51.84\00:41:58.17
Up and down
00:41:58.20\00:42:00.97
The streets of
gold from end to end
00:42:01.00\00:42:08.41
Then I saw the
books with your name
00:42:08.44\00:42:12.39
And all of the secrets you hide
00:42:12.42\00:42:16.38
And the tears came again
00:42:16.41\00:42:18.69
As I saw all the
times Jesus tried
00:42:18.72\00:42:25.30
Tears in Heaven
00:42:25.33\00:42:30.25
I know Jesus will wipe them away
00:42:30.28\00:42:34.42
And when I was crying
00:42:34.45\00:42:39.52
In His gentle
voice I heard Him say
00:42:39.55\00:42:44.29
There's a void in my heart
00:42:44.32\00:42:46.58
I wish you could see
00:42:46.61\00:42:49.29
I wanted him right here with me
00:42:49.32\00:42:53.58
And now I know why there will be
00:42:53.61\00:42:57.37
Tears in Heaven.
00:42:57.40\00:42:59.84
I'm so glad that
00:42:59.87\00:43:03.17
It was only just a dream
00:43:03.20\00:43:08.62
It was only a dream
00:43:08.65\00:43:16.20
While there's still
just little bit more time
00:43:16.23\00:43:22.86
Use it wisely
00:43:22.89\00:43:26.02
Don't hesitate
to make up your mind
00:43:26.05\00:43:33.17
Very soon
there'll be no more chances
00:43:33.20\00:43:37.31
And it will be time to destroy
00:43:37.34\00:43:41.28
And I want to be standing
with you crying tears of joy
00:43:41.31\00:43:48.89
Tears in Heaven
00:43:48.92\00:43:54.48
I know Jesus will wipe them away
00:43:54.51\00:43:58.35
And while we're crying
00:43:58.38\00:44:03.63
In His gentle
voice we'll hear Him say
00:44:03.66\00:44:08.62
I'm so glad that
you're here together with me
00:44:08.65\00:44:13.51
Living forever and free
00:44:13.54\00:44:20.47
And now I know
why there will be...
00:44:20.50\00:44:25.15
Now I know why there will be
00:44:25.18\00:44:30.15
Now I know why there
will be tears in Heaven
00:44:30.18\00:44:36.93
There'll be tears of sorrow
00:44:43.10\00:44:48.25
And tears of joy
00:44:48.28\00:44:54.85
In heaven.
00:44:54.88\00:45:01.37
God bless you. God bless you.
00:45:01.40\00:45:03.25
Timeless theme
00:45:27.10\00:45:30.42
Earth and Heaven will pass away
00:45:30.45\00:45:37.46
It's not a dream
00:45:37.49\00:45:40.14
God will make all
things new that day
00:45:40.17\00:45:47.81
Gone is the curse
00:45:47.84\00:45:51.91
From which I stumbled and fell
00:45:51.94\00:45:57.28
Evil is banished
00:45:57.31\00:46:01.27
To eternal hell
00:46:01.30\00:46:08.36
No more night
00:46:08.39\00:46:12.74
No more pain
00:46:12.77\00:46:17.35
No more tears
00:46:17.38\00:46:21.17
Never crying again
00:46:21.20\00:46:26.40
Praises to the great
00:46:26.43\00:46:32.54
"I AM"
00:46:32.57\00:46:34.80
We will live in the light
00:46:34.83\00:46:38.72
Of the risen Lamb
00:46:38.75\00:46:46.43
See all around
00:46:51.39\00:46:54.00
Now the nations bow down to sing
00:46:54.03\00:47:01.14
The only sound
00:47:01.17\00:47:03.55
Are the praises
to Christ, our King
00:47:03.58\00:47:10.98
Slowly the names
00:47:11.01\00:47:15.25
From the book are read
00:47:15.28\00:47:20.22
I know the King
00:47:20.25\00:47:23.75
There's no need to dread
00:47:23.78\00:47:31.56
No more night
00:47:31.59\00:47:36.02
No more pain
00:47:36.05\00:47:40.46
No more tears
00:47:40.49\00:47:44.38
Never crying again
00:47:44.41\00:47:49.26
Praises to the great
00:47:49.29\00:47:55.25
"I AM"
00:47:55.28\00:47:57.51
We will live in the light
00:47:57.54\00:48:01.48
Of the risen Lamb
00:48:01.51\00:48:09.24
See over there
00:48:09.27\00:48:11.76
It's a mansion prepared for me
00:48:11.79\00:48:18.30
Where I will live
00:48:18.33\00:48:20.91
With my Savior
00:48:20.94\00:48:23.30
Eternally
00:48:23.33\00:48:30.29
No more night
00:48:30.32\00:48:35.25
No more pain
00:48:35.28\00:48:39.92
No more tears
00:48:39.95\00:48:44.04
Never crying again
00:48:44.07\00:48:50.05
Praises to the great
00:48:50.08\00:48:55.30
"I AM"
00:48:55.33\00:48:57.42
We will live in the light
00:48:57.45\00:49:01.23
Of the risen Lamb
00:49:01.26\00:49:07.06
We will live in the light
00:49:48.71\00:49:53.45
Of the risen
00:49:53.48\00:50:00.91
Lamb
00:50:05.16\00:50:12.21
Amen.
00:50:12.24\00:50:14.01
