Walter Pearson is going to
be our speaker this morning
00:00:36.67\00:00:39.27
and most of you realize
Walter has really battled back
00:00:39.30\00:00:44.67
from a very severe stroke.
00:00:44.71\00:00:47.44
And he is so loved
00:00:48.08\00:00:52.58
by the viewers of 3ABN. Amen!
00:00:52.71\00:00:55.92
When he was pastoring in Atlanta
00:00:55.95\00:00:59.29
a church from
another denomination
00:00:59.62\00:01:02.56
came and tried to hire
him to be their pastor.
00:01:02.89\00:01:06.43
He said: "Don't you
know what I believe? "
00:01:08.20\00:01:10.47
And they said: "Yes! "
00:01:10.60\00:01:11.93
He said: "Well, I don't
think you could afford me. "
00:01:12.27\00:01:15.47
Now you know our pastors don't
make a whole lot of money folks.
00:01:16.74\00:01:20.78
And they said: "Well try us. "
00:01:21.14\00:01:25.58
He said: "Well, I'd like
a few hundred thousand. "
00:01:25.81\00:01:28.72
He named an amount of money.
00:01:28.85\00:01:30.39
"And I want two Mercedes Benz. "
00:01:30.72\00:01:34.59
'Cause he was just kind
of testing them, you know.
00:01:35.89\00:01:38.23
"And I want an
education allowance.
00:01:39.23\00:01:42.50
I want a house
allowance. " He named that...
00:01:42.53\00:01:44.77
and a pretty big house.
00:01:45.00\00:01:48.04
And when he got through
they looked at him and said:
00:01:48.17\00:01:51.84
"Pastor, you don't
know what you're worth.
00:01:51.87\00:01:53.64
We'd give you twice that. "
00:01:54.91\00:01:56.81
And so he just said:
"You know I've got to preach
00:01:58.81\00:02:02.95
the truth. I've got to
preach what I preach. "
00:02:02.98\00:02:06.76
And he said: "Thank you, but
I will stay with my brethren. "
00:02:06.89\00:02:10.79
And he's been given
honors, preaching at some great
00:02:11.03\00:02:16.87
great seminaries
around the country.
00:02:17.00\00:02:19.57
And we're going to
hear him in a moment
00:02:19.73\00:02:23.27
and we will be blessed.
00:02:23.51\00:02:25.81
I remember Danny
mentioned this girl when she was
00:02:26.04\00:02:29.81
eleven years old. I remember
at least when she was 12
00:02:29.84\00:02:33.58
and hearing her sing.
00:02:34.92\00:02:38.79
And I said: "God has
blessed this young lady
00:02:39.02\00:02:41.92
not only with a voice
but with a love for Jesus. "
00:02:42.26\00:02:47.56
And this is
Melody Shelton Firestone
00:02:47.96\00:02:51.20
and she's going to sing
for us He'll Find A Way.
00:02:51.43\00:02:55.17
Thank you, Melody.
00:02:55.40\00:02:56.50
At times the load is heavy,
00:03:15.26\00:03:18.93
at times the road is long
00:03:19.53\00:03:22.86
when circumstances come your way
00:03:23.30\00:03:27.04
and you think you can't go on.
00:03:27.27\00:03:31.84
When you're
feeling at your weakest
00:03:32.07\00:03:36.11
Jesus will be strong...
00:03:36.44\00:03:40.28
He'll provide an answer.
00:03:40.62\00:03:43.22
When you've
found all hope is gone
00:03:43.45\00:03:46.92
He'll find a way.
00:03:47.16\00:03:52.53
Oh, I know that if
He can paint the sunset,
00:03:54.73\00:04:00.50
put the stars in place...
00:04:00.74\00:04:03.94
I know if He can
raise up mountains
00:04:04.27\00:04:09.04
and calm the storm-tossed waves,
00:04:09.28\00:04:13.08
and if He can
conquer death forever
00:04:13.31\00:04:17.72
to open heaven's gates
00:04:17.95\00:04:21.19
then I know for you
00:04:21.42\00:04:24.56
I know for you
00:04:24.79\00:04:28.06
He'll find a way.
00:04:28.30\00:04:33.60
At times your heart is breaking
00:04:37.97\00:04:41.28
with a pain that's so intense.
00:04:42.24\00:04:45.35
All you hold are broken pieces
00:04:45.68\00:04:50.09
to a life that makes no sense.
00:04:50.42\00:04:53.69
He wants to lift
you up and hold you...
00:04:54.02\00:04:58.63
mend each torn event.
00:04:58.96\00:05:02.66
He'll pick up the pieces
00:05:03.10\00:05:05.87
that you thought
had all been spent.
00:05:06.10\00:05:09.47
He'll find a way.
00:05:09.80\00:05:15.21
For I know that if
He can paint the sunset,
00:05:17.45\00:05:23.45
put the stars in place,
00:05:23.69\00:05:26.39
I know if He can
raise up mountains
00:05:26.82\00:05:31.69
and calm the storm-tossed waves,
00:05:31.83\00:05:35.53
and if He can
conquer death forever
00:05:35.96\00:05:40.60
to open heaven's gates
00:05:40.84\00:05:43.97
then I know for you
00:05:44.31\00:05:47.24
I know for you
00:05:47.68\00:05:51.01
He'll find a way.
00:05:51.25\00:05:56.92
And if He can
conquer death forever
00:05:59.69\00:06:05.26
to open heaven's gates
00:06:05.49\00:06:08.76
then I know for you
00:06:09.10\00:06:12.17
I know for you
00:06:12.40\00:06:15.64
He'll find a way.
00:06:16.07\00:06:21.34
He'll find
00:06:22.18\00:06:24.21
a way. And if He
00:06:24.45\00:06:30.09
can conquer death forever
00:06:30.22\00:06:34.16
to open heaven's gates
00:06:34.39\00:06:37.76
then I know for you
00:06:38.09\00:06:41.00
He'll see you through...
00:06:41.23\00:06:44.73
He'll find a way.
00:06:44.97\00:06:50.41
He'll find
00:06:50.77\00:06:53.38
a way.
00:06:53.41\00:06:59.45
Amen.
00:07:00.85\00:07:02.68
Let's pray. Father, I
didn't think I'd be back here
00:07:02.92\00:07:06.65
and I thank you,
Father... I thank you.
00:07:07.09\00:07:11.09
I thought it was all over
00:07:11.53\00:07:13.53
but You gave me another chance
00:07:14.03\00:07:16.70
and I appreciate it.
00:07:17.03\00:07:19.17
So I thank you for Your
blessings in the name of Jesus,
00:07:19.40\00:07:23.74
Amen. Amen.
00:07:23.87\00:07:25.94
Folk, we have an amazingly-
difficult job ahead of us.
00:07:26.27\00:07:31.41
I wish I could bring
you one of those happy,
00:07:31.85\00:07:34.45
pat-you-on-the-back messages
00:07:34.58\00:07:36.32
but it's too late.
Time is almost gone
00:07:36.45\00:07:39.85
and we've got a job to do.
00:07:40.29\00:07:42.32
Some of us act like
this is business as usual.
00:07:42.56\00:07:45.99
It is not! The world has
changed in the last few years
00:07:46.23\00:07:51.20
and it's changing as I speak.
00:07:51.43\00:07:53.44
And it's not getting better...
it's getting harder and colder.
00:07:53.90\00:07:58.41
The Bible says in
Matthew chapter 24...
00:07:59.81\00:08:03.71
Matthew chapter
24 verse 12 says:
00:08:04.05\00:08:08.22
"And because iniquity
shall abound the love of many
00:08:08.35\00:08:12.62
shall wax cold. "
00:08:12.75\00:08:14.49
That's what has happened
but our job has not changed.
00:08:14.82\00:08:18.13
Situations have
changed but God expects us
00:08:19.03\00:08:22.60
to tell people about His
love before it's too late.
00:08:23.03\00:08:26.97
Amen.
00:08:27.20\00:08:28.20
And I like the job, but it's
just getting more difficult.
00:08:28.44\00:08:32.31
People don't want
to hear it anymore.
00:08:32.74\00:08:34.71
Their minds are
on something else.
00:08:35.14\00:08:38.11
In fact, they did a survey
not many years ago and found out
00:08:38.55\00:08:42.08
that there's only one language
that works all around the globe,
00:08:42.22\00:08:47.16
and that language is the
language of the hip-hop culture.
00:08:47.59\00:08:51.49
Everybody knows that one.
00:08:51.93\00:08:53.90
People don't understand
pastors or teachers any more.
00:08:54.30\00:08:59.57
It's as though we're
speaking a foreign language.
00:08:59.93\00:09:02.74
But I know a God who
on the Day of Pentecost
00:09:02.97\00:09:06.98
gave a gift to His followers so
that everybody could hear them
00:09:07.11\00:09:12.01
in their own language. Amen.
00:09:12.05\00:09:15.55
I am one of those people
who believes that the miracle of
00:09:16.12\00:09:19.29
Pentecost was not
a miracle of speaking
00:09:19.32\00:09:22.26
but a miracle of hearing.
00:09:22.39\00:09:23.73
God has been so good to me
that I want to tell everybody.
00:09:24.06\00:09:27.60
And I do. I was at
my church one Sabbath
00:09:28.00\00:09:32.47
and one of my left-over
problems from my stroke
00:09:32.80\00:09:37.11
came to me and I actually
couldn't go on with my sermon.
00:09:37.44\00:09:43.38
I had to stop.
Somebody in the church called
00:09:43.81\00:09:47.45
the paramedics, and they
came to get me. And I said:
00:09:47.58\00:09:50.82
"No, you can go ahead now. "
00:09:50.85\00:09:52.42
And the guy said: "Well
no, I've got to take you. "
00:09:52.75\00:09:55.62
I said: "Well
somebody beat you here
00:09:55.76\00:09:58.06
and I'm doing fine. "
00:09:58.43\00:09:59.89
He said...
00:10:01.16\00:10:04.77
He said: "I understand
what you mean, pastor,
00:10:07.50\00:10:09.90
but I've got to do my job. "
00:10:10.04\00:10:11.37
My wife will tell you
that on the way to the hospital
00:10:11.71\00:10:14.38
in the ambulance I
told them about my faith,
00:10:14.51\00:10:18.08
what I believed, and
about the holy Sabbath
00:10:18.31\00:10:20.78
and he got
interested in that short ride.
00:10:21.22\00:10:25.02
He said: "I'm going to
come back to your church. "
00:10:25.25\00:10:26.86
I said: "I'll make
you keep that promise. "
00:10:26.99\00:10:29.89
I don't know whether he's been
back, but any Sabbath he comes
00:10:30.33\00:10:33.40
I'm ready for him.
00:10:33.53\00:10:35.20
Amen? Amen.
00:10:36.40\00:10:38.20
So our job is difficult
but it's not impossible.
00:10:38.33\00:10:40.94
People have gotten cold-hearted.
00:10:41.37\00:10:44.04
There used to be a time
when they wanted to hear truth.
00:10:44.47\00:10:47.28
Now they want to
hear anything but truth.
00:10:47.61\00:10:50.11
However, you and
I have a promise.
00:10:51.45\00:10:55.45
And the promise that God
has made to us lets me know
00:10:55.68\00:10:59.35
that we're going to be able to
do the job that He left for us.
00:10:59.49\00:11:01.79
Our job is described in
Matthew 24 and verse 14.
00:11:02.22\00:11:07.76
"And this gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all
00:11:08.10\00:11:11.63
the world for a
witness unto all nations
00:11:11.67\00:11:14.57
and then shall the end come. "
00:11:14.70\00:11:16.87
We can't go home until we've
told everybody about Jesus.
00:11:17.31\00:11:21.38
But to me that doesn't
represent a challenge so much
00:11:21.91\00:11:25.65
as a joy. I love to
talk about Jesus. Amen!
00:11:25.78\00:11:30.09
He's the best thing that
ever happened to me. Amen!
00:11:30.45\00:11:33.92
And so if you give me a few
minutes I'll start weaving Him
00:11:34.09\00:11:37.39
into the conversation
'cause I love to talk about Him.
00:11:37.43\00:11:40.66
And I believe, my friends, that
the only way in this difficult
00:11:41.06\00:11:45.87
culture that we're going
to be able to keep that job
00:11:46.00\00:11:50.04
is by calling for the
promise of the Holy Spirit.
00:11:50.17\00:11:55.38
Ellen White says
that too often we don't
00:11:57.08\00:12:01.42
pray for the Holy Spirit.
00:12:01.65\00:12:03.32
But I want to say to my
friend Pastor Jim Gilley
00:12:03.75\00:12:08.09
and to my friend Danny Shelton
00:12:08.22\00:12:11.29
this Camp Meeting,
I believe, is history.
00:12:11.43\00:12:14.93
It's a part of history. I
think we are at a change point.
00:12:15.06\00:12:18.67
I've heard some sermons
here with such wonderful content
00:12:19.00\00:12:23.37
that they are the
best I've ever heard.
00:12:23.51\00:12:26.21
Amen!
00:12:26.44\00:12:28.18
And I think this Camp Meeting
is going to make a difference
00:12:28.31\00:12:30.98
in the culture of our church.
00:12:31.11\00:12:33.78
In fact, I believe when we
look back on it in a few years
00:12:34.22\00:12:38.29
we're going to say: "That was
the beginning. That's when we
00:12:38.42\00:12:41.36
started changing. " And the one
thing that I believe will change
00:12:41.39\00:12:46.29
is that we're going to
experience the outpouring
00:12:46.43\00:12:49.30
of God's Holy Spirit
in the Latter Rain. Amen!
00:12:49.43\00:12:53.94
We don't have the power
today to do what we need to do,
00:12:56.00\00:12:59.37
but God is holding the power...
more willing to give it to us
00:12:59.51\00:13:03.18
than a father is to give
a good gift to his child.
00:13:03.41\00:13:06.58
All we've got to do is ask.
00:13:07.02\00:13:09.15
And I think it's time for us
to start changing our prayers
00:13:09.58\00:13:12.72
and asking for the
gift of the Latter Rain
00:13:13.05\00:13:16.39
so that we can do what
we promised God we would.
00:13:16.62\00:13:19.43
And I believe that this
Camp Meeting is a turning point
00:13:19.86\00:13:23.93
in our church's history.
00:13:24.17\00:13:26.43
I think that things will
change 'cause when you go home
00:13:26.87\00:13:30.27
you're going to
pray for the Holy Spirit.
00:13:30.41\00:13:32.64
I know you are. You couldn't
come here and stay this long
00:13:32.97\00:13:36.68
and go home
unchanged. That's right!
00:13:36.91\00:13:40.02
So I know that it is
challenging these days.
00:13:40.75\00:13:44.35
There are some people
who are indifferent to God;
00:13:44.59\00:13:47.09
some people who
are turned against God;
00:13:47.52\00:13:51.59
some people who are
in rebellion against God.
00:13:51.73\00:13:54.30
But when the Holy Spirit is
poured out in Latter Rain power
00:13:55.00\00:13:59.53
we're going to be
able to reach all of them
00:13:59.67\00:14:02.24
because the power of the
Holy Spirit can touch hearts
00:14:02.47\00:14:05.71
and change them. Amen.
00:14:05.74\00:14:07.68
I know that because God has
allowed me to preach the gospel
00:14:07.84\00:14:10.95
around the world in
every inhabited continent
00:14:11.08\00:14:15.02
and 69 countries and
island nations of the sea.
00:14:15.15\00:14:19.99
I've been to some places I
never thought I'd even know.
00:14:20.42\00:14:23.69
But I have preached the
gospel. In fact, I say often
00:14:24.13\00:14:27.83
that I wish I could take
before and after pictures.
00:14:27.96\00:14:30.87
Because I have met people...
I couldn't speak their language
00:14:31.20\00:14:34.04
but I could look at their faces
and tell something about them.
00:14:34.17\00:14:38.04
But when they got
through hearing the Word of God
00:14:38.27\00:14:40.68
they didn't look the same.
00:14:40.91\00:14:42.58
The Word of God will change you.
00:14:42.71\00:14:44.98
So before you go out
and get your facelift
00:14:45.31\00:14:48.85
get in the Word
of God real deep.
00:14:51.89\00:14:54.16
Let Jesus do a job on you. Amen!
00:14:54.39\00:14:58.39
And it won't cost you anything.
00:14:58.96\00:15:01.16
The cost for your
facelift is already paid.
00:15:01.40\00:15:05.00
And when you look
at Jesus' love again
00:15:05.43\00:15:08.90
you'll look
better... I promise you.
00:15:09.04\00:15:11.81
Amen! And you won't have to go
back again and get it adjusted
00:15:12.04\00:15:15.31
'cause Jesus adjusts
it every day. Amen? Amen!
00:15:16.51\00:15:21.08
That's what we've
got to be about, folks.
00:15:21.32\00:15:23.28
We've got to be about
our Father's business -
00:15:23.65\00:15:25.92
Amen - spreading this
word all over the world.
00:15:26.15\00:15:29.26
And you know and I know
that 3ABN is a big part of that
00:15:29.59\00:15:33.90
because what we have
experienced here at Camp Meeting
00:15:34.10\00:15:37.97
has gone already
around the world.
00:15:38.10\00:15:40.74
There are people who have
heard everything you've heard.
00:15:41.07\00:15:43.71
Now my question is: what
are you going to do about it?
00:15:43.94\00:15:47.18
There are some folk
who heard it the first time
00:15:47.51\00:15:50.08
this week, and they're
going to do something about it.
00:15:50.21\00:15:53.28
How about you? You look like
you're ready to do something.
00:15:53.52\00:15:56.69
One of my friends who is a
pastor of another denomination
00:15:57.12\00:16:00.76
said to me: "You know, Pearson,
00:16:00.89\00:16:03.66
your people look so intelligent.
00:16:03.79\00:16:06.06
They look like they're
really on top of things. "
00:16:06.39\00:16:09.03
He said: "But sometimes I
found out that even though
00:16:09.26\00:16:12.60
my people don't
look as intelligent
00:16:12.63\00:16:14.77
they're ready to go to
work for Jesus right now.
00:16:14.90\00:16:17.54
Your folks just kind of sit
there and look intelligent. "
00:16:17.97\00:16:21.18
And the reason why I
hated that remark is because
00:16:24.85\00:16:27.18
I found it to be true.
God has blessed us so much
00:16:27.32\00:16:31.02
that we look like we could
do anything. And some of us just
00:16:31.15\00:16:34.42
sit there and look
like we could do anything.
00:16:34.56\00:16:36.93
It's time for us to stop
sitting looking like we could do
00:16:38.03\00:16:40.80
anything and by the power
of the Holy Spirit do anything.
00:16:40.83\00:16:44.63
Amen! Do everything.
00:16:44.87\00:16:46.67
Because as soon as that's
over then the end will come
00:16:46.90\00:16:50.81
and we'll go back home
to live with Jesus. Amen!
00:16:51.04\00:16:54.88
The Bible says: "The
eye seeing seeth not,
00:16:54.91\00:16:58.81
the ear hearing heareth
not what God has prepared
00:16:59.05\00:17:02.32
for His children. " But if you
read that text real carefully
00:17:02.45\00:17:05.95
it says: "But the
Spirit tells us a few things. "
00:17:06.29\00:17:10.19
Every now and then I hear
God talking about what heaven
00:17:10.43\00:17:14.30
is going to be like.
Well, I tell you what:
00:17:14.30\00:17:17.20
there is a hint. If Jesus could
make earth in 6 literal days
00:17:17.33\00:17:23.20
and it be so beautiful, what do
you think heaven's going to be
00:17:23.37\00:17:26.94
like? He's been working
on it for 2,000 years. Amen!
00:17:26.98\00:17:30.61
I want to be there. Amen!
00:17:30.88\00:17:33.62
I've heard one interpretation
that we're going to have
00:17:33.85\00:17:35.65
resting places...
mansions. That's OK with me.
00:17:35.78\00:17:39.39
I think I could
deal with a mansion...
00:17:39.52\00:17:41.16
especially one that
doesn't have a mortgage.
00:17:41.59\00:17:43.59
Then another interpretation
says: "In My Father's house
00:17:47.03\00:17:50.53
there are many rooms. " And I
like that one 'cause that means
00:17:50.87\00:17:54.30
I'll be down
the hall from Jesus.
00:17:54.44\00:17:56.74
Be down the hall
from you, too... probably.
00:17:57.81\00:18:00.44
So if you don't love me
today you'd better adjust
00:18:00.88\00:18:03.61
'cause you're going to
be down the hall from me.
00:18:06.28\00:18:08.25
You'll run into me
just about all the time.
00:18:08.68\00:18:11.39
We had better learn how to love
each other, what do you think?
00:18:12.02\00:18:14.86
Amen! So we have a job to do.
00:18:14.99\00:18:18.86
We don't have
the power to do it,
00:18:19.19\00:18:21.26
but God has the
power holding for us.
00:18:21.40\00:18:25.07
And it's time for us
to start praying sincerely
00:18:25.40\00:18:28.60
that God will pour
out His Spirit on us
00:18:28.74\00:18:31.27
because the Holy
Spirit can do anything.
00:18:31.71\00:18:34.68
There is nothing that
the Holy Spirit can't do.
00:18:35.11\00:18:38.01
And God is more
willing to give the Holy Spirit
00:18:39.05\00:18:42.72
than we are to ask. And
let's stop our reluctance,
00:18:42.95\00:18:46.96
let's get our power,
what do you say? Amen!
00:18:47.09\00:18:50.26
I have done meetings
where I wished for power.
00:18:50.49\00:18:53.53
Many times I go to a new city
00:18:53.76\00:18:56.56
and the people have already
said: "Pastor, when you get here
00:18:56.90\00:19:00.04
we're going to have
a big crowd for you. "
00:19:00.07\00:19:01.77
And I go to a big auditorium
that holds about 20,000 people
00:19:02.10\00:19:07.14
and sitting in front
of me about 20 people.
00:19:07.38\00:19:09.94
Now I've learned
something. I don't get disturbed
00:19:11.31\00:19:14.08
'cause I know what
the Holy Spirit can do.
00:19:14.32\00:19:16.62
Amen! So I just
start praying about it.
00:19:16.85\00:19:19.32
And God will take those
twenty and multiply them
00:19:19.69\00:19:23.19
so that every night
instead of getting smaller
00:19:24.23\00:19:26.76
that number gets larger.
00:19:26.90\00:19:28.53
And God will eventually
through the power of His Spirit
00:19:28.76\00:19:31.60
fill the place up.
00:19:31.83\00:19:33.17
I've learned that, so
when I see an empty auditorium
00:19:33.60\00:19:36.44
doing evangelism
I'm not disturbed...
00:19:36.57\00:19:39.17
I'm just excited
about what I'm about to see
00:19:39.41\00:19:42.08
'cause I know God in
His own way and His own time
00:19:42.31\00:19:45.88
will fill the place up.
00:19:46.01\00:19:47.95
There are times when I've come
to the end of an evangelistic
00:19:48.38\00:19:51.12
meeting and didn't have enough
people who had already decided
00:19:51.15\00:19:54.92
to be baptized and I'd
say: "Oh, no, we're in trouble.
00:19:54.96\00:19:58.19
We're not going to
have enough people. "
00:19:58.33\00:19:59.43
Then I remember who I work for.
00:19:59.56\00:20:01.56
All I did was ask God:
"Turn the Holy Spirit loose
00:20:02.63\00:20:06.80
in this place. " And instead
of having a small baptism
00:20:06.94\00:20:11.31
overnight God
would change the terrain
00:20:11.54\00:20:14.94
and we'd have a baptism
that was unbelievably large
00:20:15.18\00:20:18.25
because the Holy
Spirit changes hearts. Amen!
00:20:18.68\00:20:22.48
I have been in the place
where thousands of people
00:20:22.88\00:20:25.75
have been
baptized, but I came to know
00:20:25.79\00:20:28.56
I was never the one who
changed anybody's heart.
00:20:28.69\00:20:31.63
No word of mine has
ever changed anybody
00:20:32.26\00:20:36.00
to believe in Christ.
The only power that does that
00:20:36.03\00:20:39.70
is the power of the Holy Spirit.
00:20:39.83\00:20:41.47
But God is my father,
and God sends the Holy Spirit
00:20:41.90\00:20:46.14
so all I've got to do
when I get in a jam is
00:20:46.37\00:20:48.88
call "Daddy" -
tell Him what I need.
00:20:48.91\00:20:52.05
And He dispenses the
power and it gets done.
00:20:52.28\00:20:55.35
So I thank God that I've
started off in some small places
00:20:55.58\00:20:58.75
with a small crowd...
but God makes the difference.
00:20:58.89\00:21:02.19
And I know that if you and
I would start doing what God
00:21:02.72\00:21:06.43
calls on us to do and asking
for the Holy Spirit's power
00:21:06.66\00:21:10.57
we would do amazing things.
00:21:10.70\00:21:12.83
That tiny little Bible study
that you start in your house
00:21:13.07\00:21:16.30
will get so big that you
can't hold it in your house.
00:21:16.64\00:21:19.44
And I can tell you
having been through this
00:21:19.87\00:21:22.48
that the greatest
joy in the universe
00:21:22.61\00:21:25.71
is to watch somebody's
eyes light up when they come to
00:21:26.05\00:21:29.88
love Jesus Christ.
There is nothing else like it
00:21:29.92\00:21:33.69
in the universe.
00:21:33.72\00:21:34.89
No greater
thrill; no greater joy.
00:21:35.12\00:21:38.59
In fact, when that has happened
you won't be impressed by much
00:21:38.83\00:21:42.13
because when that light
comes on in their eyes...
00:21:42.50\00:21:45.17
I started off not as a
pastor but a Bible worker.
00:21:45.30\00:21:48.34
And I had some wonderful
experiences talking to people
00:21:48.77\00:21:53.11
who started off saying:
"I've never heard of you folks
00:21:53.24\00:21:55.78
before. " I'd tell them:
"You don't need to hear about
00:21:55.81\00:21:59.05
us... you need to
hear about Jesus. " Amen!
00:21:59.08\00:22:02.08
And by the time we got
through studying the Word of God
00:22:02.72\00:22:05.02
those eyes would change.
There's something that happens
00:22:06.12\00:22:08.96
in their eyes that
they don't have to say.
00:22:09.09\00:22:11.56
In fact, they can be saying:
"No, I don't want to be a part
00:22:11.89\00:22:14.96
of this, " shaking
their heads this way.
00:22:15.00\00:22:17.53
But I look in their eyes
and I see that light come on.
00:22:17.87\00:22:20.30
Say: "You sure you're not
going to a part of this? "
00:22:20.54\00:22:23.30
"No, I'm not going to do
it. " But the light says "yes! "
00:22:23.54\00:22:26.34
You didn't know that, did you?
00:22:27.81\00:22:29.58
It's something
interesting to see.
00:22:30.01\00:22:32.21
But let me quit bugging with
you. I came here for a reason
00:22:32.35\00:22:36.05
and the reason was to talk about
the power of the Holy Spirit
00:22:36.18\00:22:39.52
to get our job done.
00:22:39.75\00:22:41.79
The question is:
"Can we do this job? "
00:22:42.02\00:22:44.99
The answer is: "By
ourselves? No, we can't do it. "
00:22:45.23\00:22:49.73
But with the power of the
Holy Spirit "This gospel of the
00:22:49.90\00:22:54.00
kingdom shall be
preached in all the world
00:22:54.04\00:22:57.64
for a witness to all nations
00:22:57.77\00:22:59.71
and then shall
the end come. " Amen!
00:22:59.84\00:23:03.71
Now I don't know how in love
you are with where you live.
00:23:03.88\00:23:07.42
Some of you are
doing pretty well.
00:23:07.75\00:23:09.35
I can look at you and tell.
00:23:09.38\00:23:10.89
I've learned to
study body language.
00:23:11.12\00:23:13.25
You can't tell me you're
broke 'cause I can watch you
00:23:13.49\00:23:16.46
and tell how you walk. I
know how poor people walk.
00:23:16.49\00:23:19.09
And I know how people
walk who've got a little bit of
00:23:21.90\00:23:24.03
something in the bank.
You folks are in good shape.
00:23:24.07\00:23:27.30
Of course, I had a
hint in the parking lot...
00:23:27.54\00:23:30.31
but you know who you are.
00:23:33.68\00:23:35.88
And I'll tell you this: we're
going to get this job done.
00:23:38.05\00:23:41.25
I am not pleased
with this world any more.
00:23:41.28\00:23:44.19
I've been to some very nice
places preaching the gospel.
00:23:44.72\00:23:48.32
In fact, you wouldn't imagine
that I've been to such nice
00:23:48.69\00:23:51.86
places just
preaching the Word of God.
00:23:51.89\00:23:54.36
I've slept in a
bed made of pure gold.
00:23:54.40\00:23:57.60
Didn't sleep well.
00:23:58.87\00:24:00.70
I was wondering would
anybody try to steal the bed.
00:24:03.47\00:24:06.51
I've seen some wonderful places,
been in some beautiful houses,
00:24:10.65\00:24:14.72
had some good food... but I
don't like the earth any more.
00:24:14.88\00:24:18.65
It's not my home.
00:24:18.89\00:24:20.89
I'm losing my
fascination with it.
00:24:21.12\00:24:23.29
I'm ready to move
to my REAL home. Amen!
00:24:23.73\00:24:27.60
I'm ready to go to my
mansion or my room down the hall
00:24:27.76\00:24:30.97
from Jesus. Amen! And
if we get this work done,
00:24:31.00\00:24:34.67
we can go. I like you
and I'm glad to meet you here
00:24:34.80\00:24:39.17
but I'd rather meet you
down the hall from Jesus.
00:24:39.51\00:24:42.74
Amen! So what do you
say? Let's get this work done.
00:24:42.91\00:24:46.35
Amen! You can't
do it by yourself,
00:24:46.58\00:24:48.68
but ask for your
help. Call our father
00:24:48.82\00:24:52.35
and ask Him for
the power to help.
00:24:52.49\00:24:54.49
And when we do that, we're
going to get this job done.
00:24:54.82\00:24:57.53
You'll have a
great time doing it
00:24:57.86\00:25:00.10
and when it's over we can
go home to live with Jesus.
00:25:00.23\00:25:03.16
Amen. And I want to
do it... how about you?
00:25:03.40\00:25:06.17
Amen! Praise God.
00:25:06.40\00:25:08.40
So then we know that
we don't have the power
00:25:08.84\00:25:12.67
but we know that
the power is available.
00:25:12.81\00:25:15.21
And God will... He'll be
happy to send the Holy Spirit
00:25:15.64\00:25:19.81
to give us all
the power that we need
00:25:20.05\00:25:22.75
so that you can see that
light come on in the eyes.
00:25:22.98\00:25:26.76
It's a beautiful sight.
00:25:26.99\00:25:28.79
And I've seen thousands of
people do it, and I never get
00:25:29.16\00:25:32.93
used to it. I get
excited every time!
00:25:32.96\00:25:35.60
And I hope to do it
quite a few more times
00:25:36.03\00:25:40.07
but I'm about ready to
get to the end of it now
00:25:40.30\00:25:42.47
'cause I'm ready
to go to my new home.
00:25:42.60\00:25:44.94
Amen? Amen! And the
good news is that you and I
00:25:45.17\00:25:49.44
have another home. Amen! We're
just kind of hanging out here.
00:25:49.58\00:25:53.45
We're here to do a job,
but as soon as the job is done
00:25:53.88\00:25:57.09
we've got somewhere to go.
00:25:57.12\00:25:59.05
We've got places to
go and people to see.
00:25:59.42\00:26:02.19
And I'm about ready for it,
and I believe this Camp Meeting
00:26:02.62\00:26:05.76
has brought us closer to
it and I'm excited about it.
00:26:05.89\00:26:09.00
I thank God for 3ABN
00:26:09.53\00:26:12.33
and the plans that God gave to
them and what it's done for us.
00:26:12.47\00:26:16.34
I am excited about doing the job
00:26:16.57\00:26:19.14
and going back home to live with
Jesus and I hope you are, too.
00:26:19.27\00:26:22.84
So today let's
make up in our minds
00:26:23.28\00:26:27.15
that we can't do
this job by ourselves
00:26:27.38\00:26:29.88
but we've got help
and it's about time for us
00:26:30.02\00:26:32.62
to call for help. Now I'm a
good guy to tell you about that
00:26:32.65\00:26:35.79
'cause I got introduced to
the Holy Spirit in a kind of
00:26:35.82\00:26:38.83
different way. I
preached my first sermon
00:26:38.86\00:26:41.86
when I was 13. I'm a
little older than that now.
00:26:42.10\00:26:46.60
The M.V. Society... You
remember that, don't you?
00:26:49.00\00:26:51.97
had some great plans. They were
thinking outside the envelope
00:26:52.84\00:26:56.18
and they said: "You
know what we ought to do?
00:26:56.51\00:26:58.55
We ought to go to the
prison with the prison band
00:26:58.68\00:27:01.75
and one of us ought to
speak to the prisoners. "
00:27:01.88\00:27:04.75
And I was listening and
wondering how that was going
00:27:05.19\00:27:07.82
to turn out. They talked
about it and talked about it.
00:27:07.86\00:27:10.33
Finally they said:
"Well, who will speak to them? "
00:27:10.56\00:27:12.86
So you know... "I think
Walter ought to be the one. "
00:27:13.29\00:27:17.07
But they had already said
this was not a regular prison.
00:27:22.67\00:27:25.64
I can't remember the
exact term, but they said either
00:27:25.97\00:27:28.94
a medium or a
maximum security prison.
00:27:29.08\00:27:31.95
And I thought that meant that
there were real criminals there
00:27:32.28\00:27:35.32
so I didn't want to be
the one to speak to them.
00:27:35.75\00:27:37.92
But they finally took
a vote and I was the one.
00:27:38.15\00:27:41.79
So I talked to my
father. I said: "Dad,
00:27:42.22\00:27:45.63
can you get me out of this? "
00:27:45.76\00:27:47.20
He said: "No, I'm not going
to get you out of this. I'm glad
00:27:47.30\00:27:49.76
that they chose you...
I'm glad they chose you. "
00:27:49.80\00:27:52.00
I said: "But Dad, these
folks... these are criminals!
00:27:52.43\00:27:55.04
I don't want to speak to
criminals. I'm afraid of them. "
00:27:55.37\00:27:58.27
He said: "Well you don't
have to be afraid of them. "
00:27:58.64\00:28:01.01
Well here's how it
went: we got in cars
00:28:01.34\00:28:04.48
and went out to the prison.
00:28:04.61\00:28:06.31
When we got there they were
finishing up a baseball game.
00:28:06.45\00:28:09.28
They were in the
bottom of the 9th
00:28:09.52\00:28:11.82
and they were all excited.
There were people all around
00:28:12.25\00:28:15.96
cheering. And the
warden came out and said
00:28:16.09\00:28:19.06
"We're going to stop the
game now. We've got a young man
00:28:19.19\00:28:23.13
who's going to preach to you. "
00:28:23.26\00:28:25.03
"Oh...
00:28:28.07\00:28:31.84
Tell him to go home. We
don't want to hear him. "
00:28:33.31\00:28:35.61
I said: "Dad, you hear
them? They're mad already. "
00:28:36.61\00:28:39.68
He said: "Son, you don't
have to worry about that.
00:28:41.22\00:28:43.45
You just do what
God told you to do. "
00:28:43.69\00:28:45.65
And I remember
going into that room.
00:28:46.09\00:28:48.42
Wasn't a beautiful
room; wasn't quite this big
00:28:48.56\00:28:50.99
but it was this full.
00:28:51.13\00:28:52.76
And I remember my knees
actually smiting each other.
00:28:53.19\00:28:57.20
You folk talk about it all
the time but you never had it
00:28:58.70\00:29:00.90
happen. I was so frightened my
knees actually hit each other.
00:29:00.94\00:29:05.71
And I stood up before
them and began my sermon.
00:29:06.74\00:29:10.08
At 13 it wasn't
much of a sermon.
00:29:10.31\00:29:13.35
In fact, I can't
remember what I said.
00:29:13.78\00:29:16.25
But while I was saying
it six criminals got up
00:29:18.22\00:29:23.49
and started walking towards me.
00:29:23.53\00:29:25.83
I turned around. My dad was
sitting on the podium behind me
00:29:26.26\00:29:30.30
and I went back to
him. I said: "Dad, look.
00:29:30.53\00:29:32.93
I told you. See, I told
you it's not going to be good.
00:29:33.07\00:29:36.60
Now look at them...
they're coming after me. "
00:29:39.14\00:29:41.64
He said: "Son, go ask any one
of them why they're coming. "
00:29:44.25\00:29:48.75
I said: "I don't
want to talk to them.
00:29:49.62\00:29:52.02
These guys could be murderers...
they could be anything. "
00:29:52.55\00:29:55.89
He said: "Just go
ask one of them. "
00:29:56.12\00:29:57.96
And I took all the nerve I had.
00:29:58.39\00:30:01.10
I went to one of the guys
who had gotten to the front
00:30:01.23\00:30:04.20
and I said: "Hey,
how you doin' man?
00:30:04.33\00:30:06.17
Why'd you come up here? "
00:30:06.50\00:30:08.87
He said: "I want you
to introduce me to Jesus
00:30:10.04\00:30:12.91
'cause I want my life changed. "
00:30:14.88\00:30:17.41
And I couldn't
understand why that happened
00:30:18.91\00:30:22.48
but I've discovered
since that it happened because
00:30:22.62\00:30:26.32
of the power of
the Holy Spirit. Amen!
00:30:26.45\00:30:29.86
And every evangelistic
meeting I've ever run
00:30:30.09\00:30:32.93
I've reminded myself of
what happened when I was 13.
00:30:33.06\00:30:36.56
'Cause I couldn't do it...
don't even know what I said.
00:30:36.90\00:30:39.83
But I do know that they
started coming down to the front
00:30:40.07\00:30:43.04
without being called. Because
I didn't have to call them
00:30:43.17\00:30:46.44
the Holy Spirit
had called them. Amen!
00:30:46.57\00:30:49.61
And it's been like that for
me for all these years that I've
00:30:49.84\00:30:52.98
been in the ministry.
Forty-four years in the ministry
00:30:53.01\00:30:55.98
and it's been over
and over and over again
00:30:56.12\00:30:58.69
I've seen the Holy
Spirit change hearts
00:30:58.82\00:31:01.49
and draw people to Jesus.
00:31:01.62\00:31:03.43
We don't have to worry
about anything in the future
00:31:03.66\00:31:06.33
because we know the
power of God's Holy Spirit.
00:31:06.46\00:31:09.90
So I guess I'm the right
one that they chose for today
00:31:10.33\00:31:13.20
'cause I know about the power.
00:31:13.44\00:31:15.54
I know what it is to be afraid.
00:31:15.77\00:31:17.91
I know what it is to think
you don't have enough power.
00:31:18.14\00:31:20.51
But I know what happens
when the Holy Spirit comes in
00:31:20.84\00:31:23.48
and everything is changed.
00:31:23.61\00:31:25.68
It's a changer when it happens.
00:31:25.91\00:31:28.22
I've been through the experience
and I know what it feels like
00:31:28.45\00:31:32.29
to have somebody who
you are afraid of say
00:31:33.42\00:31:36.09
"Introduce me to Jesus. "
00:31:36.32\00:31:38.53
And it's a great joy.
And you and I will experience
00:31:38.76\00:31:42.60
that great joy as we
come to the end of time.
00:31:42.63\00:31:46.13
And you and I
will also be agents
00:31:46.30\00:31:50.01
used by the Holy Spirit to
draw people to Jesus Christ.
00:31:50.14\00:31:54.04
And it's going to be a
wonderful experience to do that.
00:31:54.38\00:31:57.25
But oh what a joy it
will be when the end comes
00:31:57.48\00:32:01.15
when Jesus comes to save us.
00:32:01.58\00:32:05.39
When the sky
passes away with a roar
00:32:06.02\00:32:09.79
and we look up
and see clouds no more
00:32:10.13\00:32:13.09
but see Jesus coming in clouds.
00:32:13.53\00:32:16.77
He will not touch the earth
but He'll just suspend there
00:32:17.20\00:32:21.40
first calling the dead in Christ
00:32:21.64\00:32:25.41
to arise from their graves.
00:32:25.54\00:32:27.28
And they will meet with Jesus.
00:32:27.61\00:32:29.88
And you know, I've
heard some gospel songs
00:32:30.11\00:32:32.28
that say: "If you get
there before I do... "
00:32:32.41\00:32:34.98
That's good gospel
music but bad theology.
00:32:35.42\00:32:38.72
Nobody's going to
get there before you do.
00:32:40.59\00:32:43.09
We're going to all
meet Jesus on the cloud
00:32:44.06\00:32:47.50
and there we'll be with
Him and take that trip with Him
00:32:47.73\00:32:51.20
back to glory where Jesus
will swing that gate open wide
00:32:51.33\00:32:55.54
and we'll go in to be
with Him forever and ever
00:32:55.67\00:32:59.67
and ever. The song says: "When
we've been there 10,000 years
00:32:59.81\00:33:04.38
bright shining as the sun
00:33:04.51\00:33:06.82
we've no less
days to sing His praise
00:33:07.05\00:33:09.32
than when we first begun. "
00:33:09.45\00:33:11.39
No more getting old.
00:33:11.72\00:33:13.46
Amen? Amen! Now some
of you have been very kind
00:33:13.59\00:33:17.43
since I've been here.
You said: "Oh, Elder Pearson.
00:33:17.56\00:33:20.26
You look as young
as you did before. "
00:33:20.50\00:33:23.26
And I thank you
for that kindness,
00:33:23.50\00:33:26.30
but it turns out that
I have mirrors at home.
00:33:27.50\00:33:30.21
When you know Jesus,
all that stuff that happens
00:33:34.21\00:33:37.95
doesn't make you look
worse... makes you look better.
00:33:38.08\00:33:40.88
Amen! I met some dear
saints who were very old
00:33:41.12\00:33:46.39
but they didn't look
tired, they didn't look old.
00:33:46.52\00:33:49.59
They looked very gentrified...
00:33:49.72\00:33:54.20
they looked even wealthy
00:33:54.36\00:33:56.77
and they looked like
they were settled in Christ.
00:33:57.10\00:34:00.97
So I thank you
for being kind to me,
00:34:02.60\00:34:04.77
but I know what I look like
00:34:04.91\00:34:06.91
and I know both
sides of reality.
00:34:07.34\00:34:10.51
I do look older
but I do look better
00:34:10.75\00:34:14.48
'cause all these years
I've tried to follow Jesus.
00:34:15.88\00:34:18.52
And when you follow Him He
takes care of the wrinkles,
00:34:18.85\00:34:22.09
the gray hair, the
hair that falls out
00:34:22.22\00:34:25.23
and all of that. Amen? Amen!
00:34:25.46\00:34:27.66
So you can look in the
mirror and say: "Well...
00:34:28.06\00:34:30.73
for a guy my age I'm
doing all right... OK. "
00:34:30.87\00:34:35.97
But our job is simple
and we need to get to it.
00:34:38.17\00:34:42.14
We need to stop having quarrels.
00:34:43.21\00:34:47.88
People in God's church
ought not to be quarreling
00:34:48.22\00:34:52.62
with each other. Amen!
00:34:52.75\00:34:54.96
Not only do we not have the
time to quarrel with each other
00:34:55.19\00:34:57.76
but we don't have the resources
to quarrel with each other.
00:34:57.89\00:35:00.76
You ought to be using all
of that to talk about Jesus.
00:35:01.60\00:35:04.77
I remember one day I
went to get my car repaired.
00:35:06.74\00:35:10.54
And you know how it is:
you want to make them think
00:35:10.71\00:35:13.17
you know what they're doing.
So I went back into the bay
00:35:13.21\00:35:16.98
with the man who
was repairing my car
00:35:17.11\00:35:19.05
and I got under
the car with him.
00:35:19.08\00:35:20.68
And I was looking at him
like I knew what he was doing.
00:35:20.92\00:35:23.18
Didn't have a clue.
00:35:23.52\00:35:25.32
Then something awful happened.
00:35:27.46\00:35:29.62
He said: "Sir,
while you're back here
00:35:29.86\00:35:34.20
I was wondering:
do you know Jesus? "
00:35:34.30\00:35:37.43
I said: "Yes I do.
In fact, I'm a pastor. "
00:35:38.60\00:35:42.54
He said: "Well I was going to
tell you if you hadn't met Jesus
00:35:42.70\00:35:46.34
I know him and I was willing
to introduce you to Him. "
00:35:46.47\00:35:49.38
I said: "Oh, no...
00:35:49.71\00:35:52.08
how could he beat me to that?
00:35:52.11\00:35:54.32
I'm back here acting like
I understand what he's doing
00:35:56.05\00:35:58.49
with my car and
missed the opportunity. "
00:35:58.52\00:36:01.19
And he got me first.
He said: "It's wonderful.
00:36:01.42\00:36:04.96
I've known Jesus for a week now
00:36:05.09\00:36:07.00
and every day is
better than the last. "
00:36:07.13\00:36:09.60
I said: "Well man,
let me tell you something:
00:36:11.00\00:36:13.20
you just messed me up
because I should have been
00:36:13.44\00:36:16.47
telling you that 'cause
I've known Jesus for a long time
00:36:16.50\00:36:20.88
and I let you
beat me to the punch. "
00:36:21.11\00:36:23.18
He said: "Well,
you've got to be faster
00:36:23.61\00:36:25.98
'cause I'm excited. " And
if you're excited about Jesus
00:36:28.52\00:36:32.32
you are fast, aren't you?
00:36:32.45\00:36:34.79
You tell everybody about Jesus.
00:36:35.02\00:36:36.59
There are some people who
think this job can't be done.
00:36:37.03\00:36:41.16
They think we
ought to give up on it.
00:36:41.40\00:36:44.73
But friends of mine,
this job is already done.
00:36:45.07\00:36:49.17
The Lord has made it happen so.
00:36:50.34\00:36:54.28
There are people
who are just waiting.
00:36:54.61\00:36:56.88
Somebody in your
neighborhood is waiting on you
00:36:57.11\00:37:00.58
to come and talk to them
about learning who Jesus is.
00:37:00.72\00:37:04.62
Now you don't know who it is
00:37:04.85\00:37:06.62
or else I guess
you'd have been to them.
00:37:06.76\00:37:08.32
And you think
they don't know Jesus.
00:37:08.56\00:37:11.03
But people don't need
to put signs on their faces
00:37:11.26\00:37:14.00
or on their chests. There
are people in your neighborhood
00:37:14.20\00:37:17.03
who may not act like
they know Jesus but they do.
00:37:17.17\00:37:20.04
You let 'em get in a
pinch and see who they call.
00:37:20.37\00:37:23.91
You may think
that they're an atheist
00:37:25.07\00:37:27.58
but when they get in
trouble they call Jesus.
00:37:27.71\00:37:31.31
"Oh, Lord... " And
they're just waiting on you
00:37:31.55\00:37:36.79
to come and tell
them what you know.
00:37:36.92\00:37:39.39
In fact, I was
surprised when I read years ago
00:37:39.62\00:37:42.89
that when Jesus comes there
are going to be people who lived
00:37:43.06\00:37:46.76
not far from us who are
going to come to us and say
00:37:46.90\00:37:49.63
"You knew this all the time? "
00:37:49.86\00:37:51.90
"Did you know this? "
"You knew He was coming? "
00:37:52.03\00:37:54.94
"You knew that we were going
to have an opportunity to go
00:37:55.07\00:37:57.01
to heaven and
you didn't tell me?
00:37:57.04\00:37:59.21
What kind of neighbor are you? "
00:37:59.44\00:38:01.34
"How could you
keep this to yourself? "
00:38:01.68\00:38:04.25
And I wonder, too: how
can you keep this to yourself?
00:38:04.58\00:38:07.88
If you get a good deal on a
car, you tell all your friends.
00:38:08.25\00:38:12.12
If you get some good
groceries at a good price,
00:38:12.55\00:38:16.42
you tell all your friends.
00:38:16.56\00:38:17.83
How can you keep the knowledge
about Jesus to yourself?
00:38:18.06\00:38:21.36
It's the best thing
that's ever happened to you.
00:38:21.70\00:38:24.40
How can you keep it to yourself?
00:38:24.63\00:38:26.47
It's a job
that's wonderful to do.
00:38:26.70\00:38:28.97
I thank God for
letting us be a part of it.
00:38:29.20\00:38:31.31
And I thank God today
for being able to talk to you
00:38:31.74\00:38:35.44
about it because I never thought
I'd be on a stage like this
00:38:35.48\00:38:38.98
again... but here I am.
00:38:39.01\00:38:41.75
I'm not as young as I
was... I don't move as fast.
00:38:42.28\00:38:45.02
You remember I was the guy
who was all across the stage.
00:38:45.35\00:38:48.69
You remember
that, don't you? Amen!
00:38:49.82\00:38:52.33
Well while that
lasted it was OK.
00:38:52.99\00:38:56.53
But the power was never in
the moving across the stage.
00:38:56.97\00:39:01.14
The power was in
the Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:39:01.47\00:39:04.61
And I have dedicated
myself back to the Lord
00:39:04.64\00:39:06.98
and I think that
God has put in my mouth
00:39:07.21\00:39:10.01
at least as much
power as I ever had
00:39:10.15\00:39:12.71
to tell the truth about Jesus.
00:39:12.95\00:39:14.82
I can't move
across the stage any more
00:39:15.05\00:39:17.19
but sitting right
here in this one spot
00:39:17.42\00:39:19.49
I can do pretty good with
the help of the Holy Spirit.
00:39:19.62\00:39:22.06
Amen! Every one of us can do
pretty good with what we have.
00:39:22.29\00:39:26.46
And it is my plea to
you today that you stop
00:39:27.30\00:39:31.47
doing business as usual.
00:39:31.60\00:39:34.07
That you let this Camp
Meeting be a change point.
00:39:34.20\00:39:37.71
I've heard some sermons here
that made me rethink everything
00:39:38.24\00:39:43.14
and I've decided
that when I get back home
00:39:44.25\00:39:46.51
I'm going to be different.
00:39:46.75\00:39:48.15
So I hope the members of
my church are still listening
00:39:48.58\00:39:51.05
'cause when I get back
you're going to think I'm
00:39:51.39\00:39:52.99
out of my mind.
00:39:53.02\00:39:54.52
I've got programs for
you that you won't believe
00:39:55.59\00:39:58.46
'cause we've got
work to do, folks.
00:39:59.39\00:40:01.16
The people in Annapolis,
MD, have got to know Jesus
00:40:01.60\00:40:05.07
and we are the ones
who need to tell them.
00:40:05.40\00:40:07.60
So we're going to do it,
and I'll get on your nerves
00:40:08.04\00:40:11.57
a little bit. But I'd
rather get on your nerves
00:40:11.61\00:40:14.01
than to be
outside of God's plan.
00:40:14.24\00:40:16.98
So be ready for me
to get on your nerves
00:40:17.31\00:40:20.28
and I hope you get over it.
00:40:20.52\00:40:21.78
But if you don't... ehh...
00:40:23.32\00:40:27.12
God says: "I've
got a power for you. "
00:40:31.33\00:40:35.26
And the power is like Jesus
described to lord Nicodemus.
00:40:35.40\00:40:38.97
There are people who
have studied the Bible
00:40:39.10\00:40:42.00
who believe that
Jesus told lord Nicodemus
00:40:42.34\00:40:46.27
more in that one
conversation that they had
00:40:46.41\00:40:48.81
by night than He
told anyone else.
00:40:49.18\00:40:52.65
And He told Nicodemus
about how the wind blows
00:40:52.98\00:40:56.55
where it wants to
blow. You can't see it
00:40:56.79\00:40:59.92
but you can see what it does.
00:41:00.16\00:41:02.16
You don't know
where it came from,
00:41:02.59\00:41:04.59
you don't know where it's going,
00:41:04.73\00:41:06.46
but you can tell what it did.
00:41:06.59\00:41:08.43
I was once in an
evangelistic meeting
00:41:08.86\00:41:12.83
in a little town
called Xenia, Ohio.
00:41:13.07\00:41:15.84
Xenia had had a tornado
00:41:16.27\00:41:19.31
and it tore the place apart.
00:41:19.54\00:41:22.98
I came a year
later and put up my tent
00:41:23.31\00:41:26.48
and I was wondering why
everybody was so nervous
00:41:26.82\00:41:29.28
standing outside. But
one of my workers said:
00:41:29.42\00:41:33.96
"Did you know, pastor,
when you chose this place
00:41:34.09\00:41:36.79
that they had a
tornado last year? " I said:
00:41:36.93\00:41:39.16
"I guess I did. " Said:
"Well I don't think they're
00:41:39.39\00:41:42.60
going to come in
here. " Well they did.
00:41:42.63\00:41:46.07
God's power is more
magnetic than the fear
00:41:46.60\00:41:50.61
of a tornado, so
eventually they did come in.
00:41:50.74\00:41:54.81
Then one night the wind
started blowing really hard
00:41:55.88\00:42:00.42
and this is going to
sound funny but it's not a joke,
00:42:00.85\00:42:05.69
trust me. I was
standing there and I said:
00:42:05.82\00:42:08.59
"Well I need to calm my folks
down. " So I got my best voice
00:42:08.72\00:42:13.33
up, sounding my
most authoritative
00:42:13.46\00:42:16.63
and I said: "Folk, you don't
have anything to worry about
00:42:16.77\00:42:19.03
because Jesus
can calm the wind. "
00:42:19.27\00:42:22.70
Amen. And some of
their eyes were still big
00:42:22.94\00:42:27.34
so I said: "Don't you
believe that He has the power? "
00:42:27.78\00:42:31.38
But they didn't change;
they were still looking afraid.
00:42:31.61\00:42:34.12
Just about that time the
back of my tent, the podium...
00:42:34.55\00:42:39.72
the back of the podium
hit me across my shoulders.
00:42:40.09\00:42:43.69
And they say the next
week the pastors in the area
00:42:44.13\00:42:47.76
had a wonderful time
talking about that guy
00:42:47.93\00:42:50.77
who thinks he knows Jesus
but his own tent beat him up.
00:42:50.90\00:42:54.87
Well, let me tell you
the rest of the story.
00:42:58.91\00:43:00.71
After that, everybody in
my tent ran except my wife
00:43:01.14\00:43:06.55
and my Bible counselor.
00:43:06.78\00:43:09.38
People ran out of the tent.
00:43:09.62\00:43:11.49
And I waited until they
came back, and when they did
00:43:11.92\00:43:14.56
they said: "Pastor,
let's take the tent down. "
00:43:14.69\00:43:18.09
I said: "No, we're not
taking the tent down. "
00:43:18.63\00:43:21.60
Said: "Well why
don't you take it down?
00:43:21.83\00:43:23.57
Nobody's going to come in here.
00:43:23.70\00:43:25.23
The tent hit you and if
it'll hit you they think
00:43:25.47\00:43:28.87
it'll hit them. " I said:
"Well, I tell you what let's do:
00:43:28.90\00:43:33.07
let's keep on with telling
the truth and let God handle
00:43:33.41\00:43:37.51
the weather. " So I said:
"Here's the rule we'll make:
00:43:37.55\00:43:43.28
any night that someone
comes to hear the truth
00:43:43.42\00:43:46.69
we'll have a meeting. If
nobody comes, we won't. "
00:43:46.82\00:43:50.26
Well some nights
only one inebriated man -
00:43:50.59\00:43:54.73
that's just a $20
word to mean drunk -
00:43:55.16\00:43:58.67
he'd come every night.
00:43:59.10\00:44:01.74
And folks said: "Pastor, he
doesn't understand what you're
00:44:02.17\00:44:05.71
saying... he's drunk. "
00:44:05.74\00:44:06.98
I said: "Yeah,
but we made a rule:
00:44:07.21\00:44:09.38
if anybody comes, we'll
keep on having the meetings. "
00:44:09.61\00:44:11.95
And that man came
almost every night
00:44:12.38\00:44:16.12
so we had to keep
on having meetings.
00:44:16.25\00:44:17.99
Sometimes he was the
only one in the tent.
00:44:18.22\00:44:20.46
And they'd say: "Pastor,
come on. We'll forgive you
00:44:20.69\00:44:23.96
if you stop
tonight. Let's go home.
00:44:24.09\00:44:25.73
We can go home and relax. "
00:44:25.96\00:44:27.76
I said: "No, I'm going to
keep my word to the Lord. "
00:44:28.10\00:44:30.27
And we ran in that meeting
sometimes week after week
00:44:30.70\00:44:35.37
with only 1 person in that tent.
00:44:35.50\00:44:38.31
But when we got to the end
something amazing happened.
00:44:38.74\00:44:41.84
I had run a meeting
just a few miles away
00:44:42.28\00:44:46.18
the year before in another city
00:44:46.31\00:44:49.18
and there were some
people who had heard the Word,
00:44:49.52\00:44:52.45
who had heard the gospel
but they were not baptized.
00:44:52.59\00:44:55.36
On the Sabbath that we
had designated for baptisms
00:44:56.56\00:45:00.13
when I was going
to call for decisions
00:45:00.36\00:45:03.43
my staff told me again:
"Pastor, you don't have to try
00:45:03.57\00:45:07.37
to impress us. We
know you're dedicated.
00:45:07.40\00:45:10.01
Let's just take
this tent down. "
00:45:10.24\00:45:12.37
I said: "No, let's
see what God can do. "
00:45:12.81\00:45:14.74
While I was preaching on
that day I saw some cars pull up
00:45:14.98\00:45:19.55
and people got out of
those cars who I recognized.
00:45:19.98\00:45:23.39
Almost every one
of them who got out
00:45:23.82\00:45:26.22
had been to the meeting
that I had held the year before.
00:45:26.35\00:45:28.79
They already knew the truth.
They just hadn't made up their
00:45:29.89\00:45:33.16
minds quickly
enough. And twenty-one people
00:45:33.19\00:45:36.97
came into that tent who
had already heard the message
00:45:37.30\00:45:41.07
who hadn't made up their minds.
00:45:41.20\00:45:43.51
And I made an
appeal to the one drunk man
00:45:43.94\00:45:47.48
and the 21 others who
already knew what I preached
00:45:47.61\00:45:51.21
and the 21 people
decided to be baptized.
00:45:51.45\00:45:54.68
So out of a meeting
with one drunk man coming
00:45:55.22\00:45:58.82
we baptized 21 people.
00:45:59.05\00:46:01.19
The most precious
21 I've ever baptized.
00:46:07.66\00:46:10.67
There have been meetings
when I baptized a whole lot
00:46:11.10\00:46:13.34
of other folks, but
none more precious than these
00:46:13.37\00:46:16.77
because they weren't
there but while I was preaching
00:46:17.01\00:46:20.41
in faith they came. I
don't know how they heard.
00:46:20.54\00:46:24.51
I don't know how they knew
I was running another meeting
00:46:24.75\00:46:27.12
but they came and they
decided to be baptized.
00:46:27.45\00:46:30.92
And God taught
me another lesson:
00:46:31.19\00:46:33.39
"If you just do what I
tell you, I'll make it right.
00:46:33.52\00:46:36.49
Let Me handle the results;
you just do what I say. "
00:46:36.73\00:46:40.70
Is there anybody in this
room who knows that works?
00:46:41.10\00:46:44.03
Amen. Praise God!
00:46:44.27\00:46:46.43
And I've learned
that over and over again.
00:46:46.87\00:46:50.01
But we have not seen
the greatest days yet.
00:46:50.34\00:46:53.94
I ran a meeting in a
little town called Tema, Ghana,
00:46:54.18\00:46:59.01
in West Africa.
00:46:59.25\00:47:00.38
And I got the best response that
I've ever gotten in one meeting.
00:47:00.62\00:47:05.29
Well, maybe not... I'll
tell you about the other one.
00:47:06.39\00:47:09.49
But 600 people
decided to be baptized.
00:47:09.92\00:47:14.56
Six hundred. Now the church that
I was having the meetings for
00:47:14.96\00:47:20.50
had, I think, 15 members.
00:47:20.74\00:47:24.14
And we were
about to baptize 600...
00:47:25.57\00:47:28.58
so figure that out.
00:47:29.78\00:47:32.05
How do you do the
right hand of fellowship
00:47:32.28\00:47:34.22
when you've got 15 members
of the church and you've got
00:47:34.35\00:47:36.72
600 joining? But
we went out to the sea
00:47:36.85\00:47:41.32
and we stretched our
pastors out and they baptized.
00:47:41.46\00:47:44.76
I would do the
declaration and lift up my hand
00:47:44.89\00:47:48.03
and 15 pastors
would baptize somebody.
00:47:48.26\00:47:51.57
We stayed there all afternoon
and baptized 600 people.
00:47:51.80\00:47:55.90
There were another 300
who were ready to be baptized
00:47:56.27\00:48:00.11
but their tribes
were afraid of the sea
00:48:00.24\00:48:03.65
so Saturday night we took
them to the small churches,
00:48:03.78\00:48:07.35
divided them up, and
baptized them in pools.
00:48:07.58\00:48:10.72
And the next day we had
almost a thousand new members
00:48:10.95\00:48:15.46
of the church. Amen! And
that was a wonderful day.
00:48:15.59\00:48:19.56
But that was not the best.
00:48:19.89\00:48:22.73
The best is yet to come. Amen!
00:48:22.96\00:48:26.27
I've been in
some great meetings.
00:48:26.30\00:48:28.14
In fact, the one that you know
most about is the one that we
00:48:28.17\00:48:32.54
called NET 2004.
00:48:32.57\00:48:34.71
Anybody remember
that? We put a name to it.
00:48:34.94\00:48:38.38
We called it
Experience the Power.
00:48:38.51\00:48:40.95
Folks, at the end of NET 2004
00:48:41.42\00:48:45.09
I have it on good authority
00:48:45.42\00:48:48.52
the people who were charged
with the responsibility of
00:48:48.66\00:48:52.43
counting who got baptized
00:48:52.56\00:48:55.70
on that Sabbath from NET 2004
00:48:55.93\00:48:59.87
we baptized over
5,000 people. Praise God!
00:49:00.10\00:49:04.37
In one church the
pastor had gone on vacation
00:49:04.87\00:49:08.98
and the people had
come to see me on television
00:49:09.11\00:49:12.71
but there was
nobody to make the appeal.
00:49:12.85\00:49:14.98
However, a local elder
who had been gone for years
00:49:15.32\00:49:20.12
came back on that day and
happened to be in the audience.
00:49:20.26\00:49:24.59
So when I said:
"Pastors, would you stand up now
00:49:25.03\00:49:28.96
and call for baptisms"
this elder came up to the front
00:49:29.10\00:49:31.97
of the church in Virginia
and said: 'The pastor's not here
00:49:32.00\00:49:35.30
but I'm happy to
take his place. "
00:49:35.54\00:49:37.61
And he made the call in
that church for NET 2004
00:49:37.74\00:49:42.48
and over 150 people
were baptized in that church
00:49:42.64\00:49:46.05
with a local elder who
just happened to be there
00:49:46.18\00:49:49.15
on that Sabbath. That's a
wonderful result, isn't it?
00:49:49.28\00:49:52.99
Amen. But that's not the best.
00:49:53.22\00:49:55.36
The best is yet to come. Amen!
00:49:55.59\00:49:58.03
We haven't seen the best.
00:49:58.06\00:49:59.29
I don't know what that
meeting is going to look like
00:49:59.43\00:50:01.53
after the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
00:50:01.76\00:50:03.80
After the Latter Rain has
started, we're going to have
00:50:04.03\00:50:07.17
some meetings that are
going to shock everybody.
00:50:07.20\00:50:09.24
In fact, I don't
know how we'll keep count.
00:50:09.57\00:50:12.01
I know that God can keep count,
00:50:12.34\00:50:14.48
and that's the
only One who counts.
00:50:14.71\00:50:16.31
But folk, we
haven't seen the best.
00:50:16.54\00:50:18.88
You've got some meeting
in the back of your mind
00:50:19.11\00:50:20.68
and you say: "That's
the best I've ever seen. "
00:50:20.82\00:50:23.05
Well I've got news for you:
the best is yet to come. Amen!
00:50:23.39\00:50:27.49
We haven't seen
anything close to the best.
00:50:27.52\00:50:29.26
God's going to
pour out His Holy Spirit
00:50:29.72\00:50:32.26
in Latter Rain force and
things are going to change
00:50:32.39\00:50:36.20
so drastically.
A small Bible study
00:50:36.33\00:50:41.00
that used to be
so depressing for you
00:50:41.14\00:50:43.37
is going to turn
into a shouting session
00:50:43.51\00:50:45.91
because people are going
to hear the Word in just a few
00:50:46.04\00:50:49.04
minutes and make a
decision to follow Jesus.
00:50:49.08\00:50:51.91
It's not going to be
your power. "Not by might,
00:50:53.31\00:50:56.95
not by power, but by
My Spirit says the Lord. "
00:50:57.09\00:51:01.16
And when the Latter Rain happens
00:51:01.32\00:51:03.83
we're going to see things that
we have never ever seen before.
00:51:03.96\00:51:08.00
And I want to be in
that so I'm going to hold on.
00:51:08.43\00:51:12.20
My brother-in-law is
a great fan of sports.
00:51:12.97\00:51:19.04
And one day I went to visit him
00:51:19.47\00:51:23.21
and he was
looking at a football game
00:51:23.55\00:51:28.82
that I had already seen.
00:51:29.05\00:51:31.49
And he would always brag
about his knowledge of football.
00:51:31.92\00:51:35.59
And it was way better than mine
00:51:36.02\00:51:38.19
but today I knew I
had him at a disadvantage.
00:51:38.33\00:51:41.46
I had already seen the game.
00:51:41.80\00:51:43.63
So we looked at it together.
00:51:44.17\00:51:46.87
We got all the way
down to the fourth quarter
00:51:47.00\00:51:49.37
and he said: "Walter,
let's go out and have some fun.
00:51:49.70\00:51:53.01
Let's go get something to eat
00:51:53.14\00:51:54.28
'cause we can see how this
game is going to turn out. "
00:51:54.51\00:51:56.95
I said: "Well... I don't know.
00:51:57.18\00:51:59.35
I've just got a funny
feeling about this game. "
00:51:59.78\00:52:02.95
He said: "What do you mean?
00:52:03.39\00:52:05.39
Your team has
lost and you know it. "
00:52:05.62\00:52:07.46
We heard the 2-minute
warning. He said: "Come on, man,
00:52:07.89\00:52:10.79
let's go eat. We know
that you lost this time. "
00:52:10.83\00:52:13.23
I said: "Well, let's just wait.
00:52:13.36\00:52:15.93
Just maybe
something will happen. "
00:52:16.16\00:52:18.20
'Cause I remembered
what happened in the game.
00:52:18.23\00:52:20.17
In the fourth quarter
after the 2-minute warning
00:52:20.60\00:52:23.51
the quarterback... you know
how they do when they try to be
00:52:23.64\00:52:27.34
poetic... and he
turned that ball loose
00:52:27.38\00:52:30.58
and it went through the
air straight... didn't wobble
00:52:30.71\00:52:33.58
like it was put on a wire.
00:52:33.92\00:52:36.45
And the receiver was
almost in the end zone
00:52:36.69\00:52:39.55
and he put up his hands
like he had radar in the back
00:52:39.59\00:52:42.62
of his head and caught the ball.
00:52:42.66\00:52:45.63
And in the fourth
quarter that team won.
00:52:45.76\00:52:48.83
So I told my brother-in-law,
I said: "Man, I've just got a
00:52:49.16\00:52:51.77
feeling. " He said: "Well Walt,
you don't know that much about
00:52:51.90\00:52:54.44
football. " I said:
"Yeah, I know I don't
00:52:54.47\00:52:56.64
but I've got a
feeling about this one
00:52:56.77\00:52:58.37
so humor me...
let's just watch it. "
00:53:00.21\00:53:04.45
And of course you
know what happened.
00:53:04.68\00:53:06.58
He said: "Man,
how did you know? "
00:53:07.02\00:53:08.92
I said: "Well, I don't
know, man. I just... there was
00:53:09.35\00:53:12.39
something about this game. "
00:53:12.52\00:53:14.09
So finally I told him the truth.
I said: "Man, I had seen that
00:53:14.62\00:53:18.29
game before. " He said:
"You dirty rascal, you! "
00:53:18.43\00:53:21.46
"So you already knew the
end? " I said: "Yeah, I did. "
00:53:22.83\00:53:25.17
But that's why I didn't change
sides... 'cause I knew the end.
00:53:25.40\00:53:29.87
Well you already figured
that one out, didn't you?
00:53:30.74\00:53:32.94
We are down at the end.
00:53:33.17\00:53:35.68
There are some folk
who don't know what the end
00:53:35.91\00:53:37.75
is going to be. But you
and I have looked in this book,
00:53:37.78\00:53:41.72
we have read about the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit,
00:53:41.85\00:53:44.82
and we know how this
game is going to end.
00:53:45.05\00:53:47.82
Amen! We know that this
church will go out in a blaze
00:53:48.06\00:53:52.06
of victory because
things are going to be changed
00:53:52.09\00:53:56.20
by the power of the Holy Spirit.
00:53:56.33\00:53:58.53
So what I want to say to you is
00:53:58.97\00:54:01.10
don't change sides now. Amen!
00:54:01.34\00:54:03.97
Stay on God's side.
00:54:04.11\00:54:05.97
It may seem like
we're not going to win
00:54:06.24\00:54:08.11
but we know the
end of the story.
00:54:08.34\00:54:10.45
We've already read it.
00:54:10.68\00:54:12.18
And I want to stay right
in this church where I belong
00:54:12.31\00:54:15.35
and hold my spot.
'Cause if I leave it
00:54:15.52\00:54:18.92
somebody else
might come and take it.
00:54:19.05\00:54:20.69
I'm going to stay right here.
00:54:21.02\00:54:23.36
And I don't just have a
feeling... I've got facts.
00:54:23.49\00:54:26.56
God has planned
for a victorious ending
00:54:26.90\00:54:30.57
to this story of the
great controversy. Amen!
00:54:30.60\00:54:34.34
This thing is
going to be glorious...
00:54:34.50\00:54:36.67
marvelous in our
eyes. But if you leave now
00:54:36.91\00:54:40.81
or change sides now
you'll never experience it.
00:54:41.08\00:54:44.48
I urge you not only to be
here but to be part of it.
00:54:45.01\00:54:49.58
We know we're going to win.
00:54:49.92\00:54:51.82
It may seem like we're
outnumbered all the time
00:54:52.82\00:54:56.19
but when the Holy Spirit
falls in the Latter Rain power
00:54:56.32\00:55:00.10
we're not going to be
in the minority any more
00:55:00.23\00:55:02.30
'cause the Holy Spirit
is a majority by Himself.
00:55:02.53\00:55:05.67
Amen! And all He
needs us to do is
00:55:05.90\00:55:08.24
to stay on His
side, stay on God's side,
00:55:08.37\00:55:11.11
and we'll be part of a victory
that nobody will ever forget.
00:55:11.34\00:55:16.08
And I'm going to stay
right here. I'm not as agile as
00:55:16.51\00:55:21.18
I used to be, my
voice isn't as strong,
00:55:21.32\00:55:24.15
but I'm going to
do whatever I can do
00:55:24.29\00:55:26.55
and stay in my
place and stay on my job
00:55:26.69\00:55:29.66
'cause I know
what's about to happen.
00:55:29.89\00:55:32.26
Don't you know? Haven't
you read the whole story?
00:55:32.49\00:55:35.10
Amen! Do you know what kind
of victory we're about to have?
00:55:35.33\00:55:38.10
We're about to have a victory
that nobody else could ever
00:55:38.53\00:55:41.84
imagine. And all we've got
to do is stay faithful to God
00:55:41.87\00:55:45.27
and pray for the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit in Latter Rain
00:55:45.44\00:55:49.01
power and we're going
to see an amazing victory.
00:55:49.14\00:55:52.08
Your neighbors who
thought you were crazy
00:55:52.41\00:55:54.95
because you went out on Saturday
morning instead of Sunday
00:55:55.28\00:55:58.22
they're not going to
laugh any more - Amen! -
00:55:58.35\00:56:02.32
because the Holy Spirit
is going to change the story.
00:56:03.32\00:56:06.13
And all of a sudden
your neighbors who thought
00:56:06.56\00:56:09.03
you were a little bit addle-
brained are going to figure out
00:56:09.06\00:56:12.77
that you knew
something that they didn't know.
00:56:12.90\00:56:14.94
You knew about a power
that they had never met.
00:56:15.17\00:56:18.64
But friends of mine,
when the Holy Spirit's power
00:56:19.07\00:56:22.41
is poured out upon this church
00:56:22.54\00:56:24.61
we're going to see
some amazing things happen.
00:56:24.75\00:56:26.92
We're going to see hundreds,
we're going to see thousands
00:56:27.05\00:56:30.15
of people brought to Christ.
00:56:30.32\00:56:32.39
And they're going to
learn about the holy Sabbath
00:56:32.82\00:56:35.62
and keep it with joy.
00:56:35.76\00:56:37.63
I remember the times we used
to be sitting around wondering
00:56:38.06\00:56:41.00
which big preacher
would join our church
00:56:41.13\00:56:43.67
and that would be the power.
00:56:43.90\00:56:45.70
And you know one name
that we always talk about.
00:56:46.13\00:56:49.47
"I heard he's
going to join the church,
00:56:49.70\00:56:51.81
and when he does, things
are going to change for us. "
00:56:52.04\00:56:54.94
Well I've got news for
you: no big-time preacher
00:56:55.18\00:56:58.51
needs to join this church 'cause
we've already got the power.
00:56:58.65\00:57:02.18
Amen! And it will not come
from some popular preacher.
00:57:02.42\00:57:07.72
It's going to come
from the Holy Spirit.
00:57:08.06\00:57:10.56
The Holy Spirit can do
this thing with His own power.
00:57:10.89\00:57:14.56
And He will! And
all He needs us to do
00:57:14.83\00:57:17.83
is to do our part. Amen? Amen!
00:57:17.97\00:57:21.10
How many of you will just
raise your hand today and say
00:57:21.54\00:57:23.51
and say: "I'm
willing to do my part. "
00:57:23.54\00:57:25.47
Amen. Praise God. I don't
see one hand that's not raised.
00:57:25.74\00:57:29.78
