Hello! and welcome to 3ABN to our Fall Camp Meeting. 00:00:51.01\00:00:54.25 We've been having a wonderful time. 00:00:54.28\00:00:56.22 And some of you had a good time so far at Camp Meeting? Yes! 00:00:56.28\00:01:00.09 And we went last night pretty late, didn't we? 00:01:00.26\00:01:02.32 We had some music; we had Elder John Carter; 00:01:02.42\00:01:04.76 we had Reggie and Ladye Love Smith. 00:01:04.96\00:01:06.53 We had testimony time, and I felt the presence of the Lord 00:01:06.73\00:01:10.27 and I feel it here today. 00:01:10.57\00:01:12.00 And we're just thankful for all of you watching from around 00:01:12.50\00:01:15.37 the world. Thank you for your love and your prayers 00:01:15.57\00:01:17.71 and financial support of 3ABN 00:01:17.91\00:01:20.64 as we endeavor to take this great gospel of the kingdom 00:01:21.11\00:01:24.01 into all the world. What an exciting time to be alive 00:01:24.41\00:01:26.98 in earth's history, isn't it? Yes! I thank the Lord every day. 00:01:27.18\00:01:29.82 I can't say I've always done that, but I do now. 00:01:29.92\00:01:32.42 Every day is a gift. Every day is something new coming out. 00:01:32.62\00:01:36.36 Hey, the Pope's in D.C., right? 00:01:36.69\00:01:39.19 Isn't that exciting news? 00:01:39.49\00:01:41.13 The Pope is there... "all the world wondered... " 00:01:41.43\00:01:43.40 But you know what? We're watch- ing prophecy being fulfilled. 00:01:43.70\00:01:47.27 That's right! All around our eyes things are happening. 00:01:47.47\00:01:49.87 I said the other day: "We have a Seventh-day Adventist 00:01:50.37\00:01:52.81 running for president. We have the Pope in the country. 00:01:53.01\00:01:55.54 We've changed the laws in this country to re-define marriage. 00:01:55.84\00:01:58.85 This is an interesting time to see what God's going to do 00:01:58.95\00:02:02.55 next. " And He does a lot of it based on our decisions, 00:02:02.65\00:02:06.32 doesn't He? When we make bad decisions - 00:02:06.52\00:02:08.99 and we're doing that - hang on... get ready. 00:02:09.29\00:02:12.79 Jesus is coming soon. I don't know about you, but 00:02:12.99\00:02:15.50 I'm looking forward to it. Today it's a special program 00:02:15.70\00:02:18.67 for us. My brother Kenny Shelton is going to be preaching here 00:02:19.07\00:02:24.01 today bringing our sermon to us. 00:02:24.11\00:02:25.91 I praise the Lord for Kenny and Chris and his gift for 00:02:26.31\00:02:29.74 ministry, his love for people. 00:02:29.94\00:02:31.88 And Kenny is a little older. There's 4 boys and a girl 00:02:32.18\00:02:34.75 in my family so there's... Ronnie's above me and then 00:02:34.95\00:02:37.82 Kenny. I'm the baby boy and then came along the little girl Tammy 00:02:38.02\00:02:41.16 about 8 years later. So there's several of us 00:02:41.36\00:02:44.19 little Shelton gang running around. 00:02:44.36\00:02:45.89 And so I'm thankful for my sister Tammy and for her 00:02:46.29\00:02:49.13 musical abilities, her love for Jesus. 00:02:49.23\00:02:51.57 And she works here in the donations department 00:02:51.77\00:02:54.30 at 3ABN. But I wanted to give you a little bit of background 00:02:54.60\00:02:56.74 about Kenny. My brother Kenny... 00:02:56.77\00:02:59.34 You're coming out. You'll make sure my story's true? 00:02:59.64\00:03:01.88 OK. I'll correct you if it's not. 00:03:02.18\00:03:04.55 I wasn't going to talk about you. 00:03:04.75\00:03:06.08 That's right. Not while you're here, anyway. 00:03:06.25\00:03:09.12 My brother Kenny... Tammy can... Well, you were so much 00:03:10.69\00:03:13.25 younger than Kenny. He's about 12 years older than you. 00:03:13.36\00:03:15.19 But Kenny did not like to get up in public. 00:03:15.29\00:03:18.46 My mom and dad sang so all the boys were going to sing. 00:03:18.86\00:03:22.13 So at church: "OK boys, get up and sing. " 00:03:22.63\00:03:24.80 The rest of us get up. Kenny's like: "I don't want to sing. 00:03:25.00\00:03:27.60 I don't want to get up front. " 00:03:27.80\00:03:29.14 So he did not want to get up front. 00:03:29.37\00:03:31.11 All of his life growing up: "OK, will the Shelton's come up 00:03:31.51\00:03:34.98 and sing for us? " And "Mom, I don't want to sing. " 00:03:35.18\00:03:37.71 His voice was high. "Well we like your high tenor voice, 00:03:37.91\00:03:40.98 Kenny. " His voice changed, got lower. "We like your 00:03:41.18\00:03:43.18 lower voice, Kenny" my mom would say. 00:03:43.28\00:03:45.19 "We need it in here. " 00:03:45.39\00:03:46.72 Kenny didn't want to sing; he didn't want to be up front. 00:03:46.76\00:03:49.12 When he got out of high school ended up getting married 00:03:49.52\00:03:52.66 then he says: "I'm never gettin' up front again. 00:03:52.86\00:03:55.56 That is not my forte. I'm not a singer; 00:03:56.36\00:03:58.87 I'm not... " He'd say: "Now the rest of you play 00:03:59.07\00:04:01.17 and you sing, but that's just not my gift. 00:04:01.27\00:04:03.17 I don't have any gifts. " 00:04:03.41\00:04:04.74 So he's happy being a carpenter. 00:04:04.77\00:04:06.54 But the Lord changed all that many years ago, 00:04:06.88\00:04:09.78 so never say never, right? It seems like you get yourself 00:04:09.98\00:04:13.25 in trouble. In this case it all happened for the good 00:04:13.45\00:04:15.65 that Kenny was called many many years ago 00:04:15.95\00:04:19.39 into ministry. We together worked with 3ABN 00:04:19.59\00:04:23.53 in the very beginning days and literally on the building. 00:04:23.63\00:04:26.90 To begin with it was just he and I and sometimes 00:04:27.10\00:04:30.13 my brother Ronnie. But we got the property that was donated 00:04:30.33\00:04:33.40 to us. We didn't have a dozer but traded a guy some labor. 00:04:33.60\00:04:36.87 He let us use the dozer. Kenny knew how to run it 00:04:37.07\00:04:39.37 and I knew how to go to the gas station and fill up 00:04:39.67\00:04:42.71 the diesel can. So we'd do 5 gallons of diesel at a time 00:04:42.81\00:04:46.21 till that ran out, and somebody else would give a little money 00:04:46.41\00:04:48.42 to build the footings and the foundation. And so 00:04:48.62\00:04:51.59 we literally physically built the uplink. And my brother 00:04:51.79\00:04:54.02 Ronnie helped. And so for many many years 00:04:54.12\00:04:57.66 God has blessed Kenny in his efforts and now Kenny is 00:04:58.59\00:05:01.93 one of those that I think you couldn't keep him down 00:05:02.13\00:05:04.50 because he's excited about Jesus. 00:05:04.70\00:05:06.84 He loves to tell the world what Jesus has done for him 00:05:07.04\00:05:09.47 in his life and most of all what He wants to do for each 00:05:09.67\00:05:12.31 and every one of us... for the rest of us. 00:05:12.41\00:05:14.91 Our own... Our greatest asset, Ellen White says, is 00:05:15.01\00:05:17.88 our own personal testimony of what God has done for us. 00:05:18.08\00:05:22.02 Well, 8 years after me came my sister Tammy. 00:05:22.32\00:05:25.22 Tammy grew up, and from the time she was little we knew 00:05:25.62\00:05:28.22 she had a gift for singing. 00:05:28.32\00:05:30.13 And my family was really... My mom and dad, they were 00:05:30.43\00:05:33.19 thrilled to have a little girl. They had four boys. 00:05:33.40\00:05:35.03 Stair steps, right? 00:05:35.23\00:05:36.56 So we always say... I won't have time to get into this today, 00:05:36.83\00:05:38.93 Tammy, but we thought she was spoiled. 00:05:39.13\00:05:40.70 She saw it another direction. 00:05:40.90\00:05:43.37 But we all agreed on this one thing: that Tammy had a gift 00:05:43.67\00:05:46.64 for music. And I remember my dad always loved to hear her. 00:05:46.84\00:05:50.21 He would make little tapes of Tammy at home 00:05:50.41\00:05:52.38 and bring it to us... we were carpentering, Kenny and I, 00:05:52.68\00:05:55.05 and he'd say: "Boy, this girl's got it. " 00:05:55.25\00:05:56.95 He'd say "this girl" as if he wasn't prejudiced, right? 00:05:57.15\00:05:59.55 You know, your own dad. "Boy, I'm telling you 00:05:59.79\00:06:01.82 this girl has got it. " But you know what? 00:06:02.02\00:06:03.79 When we got a little older I had to say that, too: 00:06:03.99\00:06:05.69 "This girl's got it. She's got a gift for music. " 00:06:05.79\00:06:07.96 So thank you, Tammy, for singing today. 00:06:08.16\00:06:09.96 And right after Tammy the next voice you will hear 00:06:10.27\00:06:12.63 is Pastor Kenny Shelton. 00:06:12.93\00:06:14.57 Amen! 00:06:14.84\00:06:16.57 While we're being nice today I'll have to give my brother 00:06:17.01\00:06:20.58 some credit. He's been unfailing in his faith 00:06:20.78\00:06:25.31 beginning 3ABN and all through these years. 00:06:25.61\00:06:28.48 He has just put it in the Lord's hands and he's stepped 00:06:28.78\00:06:32.85 forward in faith... which is rare now. 00:06:32.95\00:06:35.29 I know sometimes I don't want to step forward... 00:06:35.49\00:06:38.36 especially if it's something financial. 00:06:38.56\00:06:40.70 You know, you're scared. You don't want to step forward 00:06:40.90\00:06:42.80 when you don't have the money. He always stepped forward. 00:06:42.90\00:06:45.07 He always put it in God's hands. 00:06:45.37\00:06:47.84 And God has blessed and here we are now 00:06:48.14\00:06:50.31 with 3ABN around the world. 00:06:50.51\00:06:52.24 And he's been a great leader... I want to say that. 00:06:52.44\00:06:56.58 I'm going to sing a happy song today. 00:06:56.91\00:07:00.45 Sometimes a lot of the songs we sing are slower songs, 00:07:00.98\00:07:04.02 and that's fine... there's a lot of pretty songs. 00:07:04.22\00:07:06.05 But sometimes we like something with just a little bit of kick 00:07:06.45\00:07:08.99 to it just to make us happy. 00:07:09.19\00:07:11.29 So this one's called Springs of Living Water. 00:07:11.59\00:07:14.20 I thirsted in the barren land of sin and shame; 00:07:25.31\00:07:29.61 nothing satisfying there I found; 00:07:29.81\00:07:33.28 But to the blessed cross of Christ one day I came, 00:07:33.62\00:07:37.99 Where springs of living water did abound. 00:07:38.09\00:07:42.19 Drinkin' at the springs of living water, 00:07:42.29\00:07:46.70 Happy now am I, 00:07:46.90\00:07:48.50 My soul they satisfy; 00:07:48.70\00:07:50.73 I'm drinkin' at the springs of living water, 00:07:50.93\00:07:55.00 What a wonderful and bountiful supply! 00:07:55.20\00:07:58.97 O, sinner, won't you come today to Calvary? 00:08:01.54\00:08:05.65 A fountain there is flowing deep and wide; 00:08:05.95\00:08:09.48 The Savior now invites you to the water free, 00:08:09.88\00:08:14.09 Where thirsty spirits can be satisfied. 00:08:14.29\00:08:18.29 Drinkin' at the springs of living water, 00:08:18.69\00:08:22.63 Happy now am I, 00:08:23.03\00:08:24.63 My soul they satisfy; 00:08:24.93\00:08:26.94 I'm drinkin' at the springs of living water, 00:08:27.24\00:08:31.07 What a wonderful and bountiful supply! 00:08:31.37\00:08:35.01 Drinkin' at the springs of living water, 00:08:35.51\00:08:39.75 Happy now am I, 00:08:40.05\00:08:41.65 My soul they satisfy; 00:08:41.95\00:08:43.92 I'm drinkin' at the springs of living water, 00:08:44.12\00:08:48.09 What a wonderful and bountiful supply! 00:08:48.39\00:08:52.03 Drinkin' at the springs of living water, 00:08:52.53\00:08:56.56 What a wonderful and bountiful supply... 00:08:56.87\00:09:00.87 What a wonderful and bountiful supply... 00:09:01.14\00:09:05.04 What a wonderful and bountiful supply! 00:09:05.34\00:09:11.31 Amen!

Yes! 00:09:20.89\00:09:22.86 Amen! Praise the Lord! Oh, it's good to be with you. 00:09:23.16\00:09:25.29 Want to just quickly say that it's good to be here. 00:09:25.59\00:09:28.16 Bro. Danny mentioned... Wow! It's been kind of a... 00:09:28.46\00:09:31.57 fast meetings and then trying to get here 00:09:31.77\00:09:34.30 and going to have to try to get back. 00:09:34.40\00:09:35.74 But we didn't want to miss, you know, the Camp Meeting. 00:09:35.77\00:09:39.17 We wanted to be here and to fellowship with you 00:09:39.47\00:09:41.28 and so it's quite a blessing. 00:09:41.58\00:09:42.98 We want to say certainly back in Cleveland, Ohio, 00:09:43.18\00:09:46.25 to where we're having... Present Truth SDA Church 00:09:46.45\00:09:49.65 having a whole month of meetings there. They're going well; 00:09:49.85\00:09:52.15 God is blessing and we're just thrilled at what's taking place. 00:09:52.35\00:09:55.96 So we want to send our greetings back there. 00:09:56.26\00:09:57.99 Pastor Eugene Anthony... and be praying. Would you pray? 00:09:58.39\00:10:01.90 Continue to pray. We have to go back and we've got 00:10:02.10\00:10:03.93 one more week and people being prepared to accept this message 00:10:04.03\00:10:07.50 and we praise God for that. 00:10:07.67\00:10:09.00 But we're glad we are here. We want to talk to you about... 00:10:09.24\00:10:11.21 I'm going to have prayer here first. I'm going to kneel. 00:10:11.41\00:10:12.94 And I know we've had it once but I feel like I need to pray 00:10:13.24\00:10:16.04 again if that's all right with you. 00:10:16.18\00:10:17.61 If it's possible for you, please kneel. If not, just pray along 00:10:17.91\00:10:20.68 with me. I'm going to kneel here. 00:10:20.78\00:10:22.12 Loving Father in heaven, we thank you for the privilege 00:10:23.85\00:10:25.82 of prayer. Now we ask that the windows of heaven 00:10:25.92\00:10:28.12 would be opened up. Pour out blessings there's not 00:10:28.22\00:10:31.33 room enough to receive. Lord, may every heart 00:10:31.43\00:10:33.66 here today... may we all be open. May we hear Your voice. 00:10:33.86\00:10:37.20 May we respond to that precious voice of Jesus. 00:10:37.43\00:10:40.07 May we know the difference of that of the enemy and the voice 00:10:40.47\00:10:43.34 of the great Shepherd. Bless us now we pray. 00:10:43.54\00:10:46.04 I ask that You forgive me of any sin and any thing in my heart 00:10:46.24\00:10:48.48 and life that needs not be there. Lord, 00:10:48.68\00:10:50.01 I need to hear Your voice. 00:10:50.11\00:10:51.45 Your children need to hear Your voice. 00:10:51.75\00:10:53.65 Bless us now we pray and may the Holy Spirit now 00:10:53.95\00:10:57.12 just take possession of everything that's said and done. 00:10:57.32\00:10:59.79 And we thank you in Jesus' name, Amen. 00:11:00.06\00:11:02.09 Amen! 00:11:02.36\00:11:03.73 How wonderful it is that we have the Word of God 00:11:03.76\00:11:05.76 that we can go to. We need the Word of God; 00:11:05.96\00:11:08.40 we need to be studying like never before. 00:11:08.60\00:11:11.33 If you have your Bibles you want to turn with me. 00:11:11.53\00:11:13.17 We're going to be talking about... You know, there's 00:11:13.40\00:11:15.10 a special group of people that's going to finish this work. 00:11:15.20\00:11:17.47 You can be among those, but they're going to have clear 00:11:17.94\00:11:20.24 discernment. God's going to give His last-day children 00:11:20.34\00:11:24.05 clear discernment. It's not going to be "I don't know; 00:11:24.25\00:11:27.08 I'm not sure. " He's going to give direction. 00:11:27.32\00:11:29.52 You're going to hear it and you're going to be able by His 00:11:29.72\00:11:31.49 grace and strength to follow that. 00:11:31.59\00:11:33.66 Turn with me if you will to Jeremiah. The book 00:11:33.96\00:11:36.32 of Jeremiah chapter 6. I'm going to go as quickly 00:11:36.42\00:11:38.73 as we can. Jeremiah chapter 6. 00:11:38.83\00:11:40.46 A lot of things to cover. 00:11:40.76\00:11:42.60 Remember, if there's anyone here that you think you know, 00:11:42.90\00:11:44.70 "Boy, we live in an hour... We've got to be careful 00:11:44.80\00:11:47.37 and get along with everybody else" this is not 00:11:47.57\00:11:49.07 the message you want to stay. You may want to go somewhere 00:11:49.17\00:11:51.07 else. God's given a message that will not be popular. 00:11:51.17\00:11:55.28 Most people don't want to hear it. 00:11:55.78\00:11:57.68 But you know what? God's given it to us and we need to be 00:11:57.98\00:12:00.25 faithful to the calling. I'm thankful 3ABN is faithful 00:12:00.35\00:12:03.72 to the calling and let messages go out that's the truth. 00:12:03.82\00:12:06.49 And Jeremiah chapter 6. I'm going to read verses... 00:12:07.39\00:12:09.66 start with verse 16 and we'll do through 19. 00:12:09.76\00:12:12.03 The Bible says: "Thus saith the Lord: 'Stand ye in the ways 00:12:12.53\00:12:16.40 and see and ask for... ' What? 'the old paths where is the 00:12:16.63\00:12:20.50 good way and walk therein 00:12:20.60\00:12:22.77 and ye shall find rest for your souls. ' 00:12:23.00\00:12:25.81 But they said: 'We will not walk therein. ' 00:12:26.11\00:12:28.74 Also I set watchmen over you saying: 'Hearken to the sound 00:12:29.04\00:12:32.45 of... ' What? 'the trumpet. ' But they said: 00:12:32.55\00:12:35.15 'We will not hearken. ' 00:12:35.45\00:12:36.89 Therefore, hear ye, O nations and know, O congregation 00:12:37.19\00:12:40.42 what is among them. Hear O earth: behold I will 00:12:40.62\00:12:44.43 bring evil upon this people... even the fruit... " 00:12:44.53\00:12:49.06 notice... "of their thoughts because they have not hearkened 00:12:49.26\00:12:52.10 unto My words nor My law but rejected it. " 00:12:52.20\00:12:56.10 Simple words but powerful 00:12:56.50\00:12:59.04 that God's people need to look at and say: 00:12:59.34\00:13:00.98 "That DOES pertain to us. " 00:13:01.18\00:13:02.68 That does pertain to us! 00:13:02.98\00:13:05.11 Thus saith the Lord, says: "STAND in the ways... " 00:13:05.31\00:13:08.12 "Stand in the ways of life... " the course of life is what that 00:13:08.62\00:13:11.69 means... the road that has been trodden before. 00:13:11.79\00:13:14.56 The path that leads to eternal life. 00:13:14.86\00:13:16.96 The mode of action is what the Bible is talking about here. 00:13:17.16\00:13:20.70 And then it says to ask for what? 00:13:20.90\00:13:23.10 "The old paths... " because we have forgotten where the 00:13:23.33\00:13:25.70 old paths are at. It's been buried underneath tradition. 00:13:25.80\00:13:29.27 See, the world has tried to bury it. The man of sin's tried to 00:13:29.57\00:13:32.37 bury it, but God said in the last days there'll be 00:13:32.57\00:13:34.74 people who will know their mission, they'll know the Word. 00:13:34.84\00:13:37.61 They know prophecy and they will proclaim it 00:13:37.91\00:13:40.28 in the midst of a crisis. 00:13:40.38\00:13:42.42 And I believe we're in the very midst of a crisis. 00:13:42.62\00:13:45.19 Amen! The old path... Remember, the old path 00:13:45.59\00:13:48.32 means the beaten path. 00:13:48.52\00:13:50.53 Have you ever noticed that? You have any animals around 00:13:50.83\00:13:52.86 or cows or dogs - whatever they are - 00:13:53.06\00:13:55.16 they seem to go from their... Somebody's not with me. 00:13:55.36\00:13:58.50 the dog pen or the barn... they go in the same, come on, 00:13:58.70\00:14:02.64 same what? The same path. It's a habit. They go in that 00:14:02.84\00:14:05.57 same path all the time and they just wear the grass out 00:14:05.77\00:14:08.51 or whatever, you know, is there. 00:14:08.71\00:14:10.05 God said He's looking for a people that will find those 00:14:10.25\00:14:12.35 old paths again. We need to do that. 00:14:12.58\00:14:15.25 They said... But notice the people said: "We won't do it. " 00:14:15.45\00:14:17.49 He said: "I set watchmen over you saying 00:14:17.79\00:14:20.09 'Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. ' " What'd they say? 00:14:20.29\00:14:22.56 "We're not gonna listen... we're not gonna listen. " 00:14:23.56\00:14:25.33 Notice: "Hear O earth, behold I will bring evil 00:14:25.83\00:14:29.20 upon the people. " Notice this: Great Controversy 00:14:29.30\00:14:31.83 page 478 says this pertaining to these passages of scripture: 00:14:32.03\00:14:35.64 "It is only as the law of God is restored 00:14:35.94\00:14:39.77 to its rightful position that there can be a revival 00:14:39.97\00:14:43.51 of primitive faith and godliness among the professed people of 00:14:43.71\00:14:48.15 God. " What needs to be elevated? 00:14:48.25\00:14:50.35 Somebody say the law of God. 00:14:51.32\00:14:52.75 I'm going to have you jump up and down and do some jumping 00:14:52.85\00:14:54.39 jacks here in a minute. Come on... 00:14:54.49\00:14:55.82 Dinner may have been too much. "It's only as the law of God is 00:14:56.09\00:14:58.63 restored to its rightful position. " 00:14:58.73\00:15:02.00 It's not been restored to its rightful position because 00:15:02.40\00:15:04.87 the man of sin is constantly beating it down 00:15:04.97\00:15:06.94 and the world is listening 00:15:07.14\00:15:09.14 to him rather than what the Word of God says. 00:15:09.44\00:15:11.54 "A revival of primitive godliness... " And we need it! 00:15:12.34\00:15:14.81 And you know that we need it here 00:15:14.84\00:15:17.25 among the professed people of God. 00:15:17.45\00:15:19.38 I believe we live in a crisis hour. 00:15:19.58\00:15:21.65 I believe that God wants to give His last-day people 00:15:22.05\00:15:24.89 clear what? Discernment. 00:15:25.09\00:15:27.26 Clear discernment is essential 00:15:27.56\00:15:29.26 both in the world and in the church. 00:15:29.49\00:15:32.29 Events have taken place in the last couple of months, 00:15:33.33\00:15:35.63 in the last couple of days, today if you will... 00:15:35.73\00:15:38.33 that are of a historic nature. 00:15:38.53\00:15:40.44 Amen! Historic nature! 00:15:40.74\00:15:42.17 And God's people will be awake and their ears will be open, 00:15:42.47\00:15:45.67 their minds will be open... not so much to concentrate 00:15:45.87\00:15:48.34 and go on and on about what the man of sin is doing 00:15:48.44\00:15:50.85 but what we need to be doing in this hour that we live in. 00:15:51.05\00:15:53.68 Praise God! You see, we have an opportunity 00:15:54.08\00:15:55.98 to reach the world with this gospel. This is the only gospel. 00:15:56.08\00:15:59.15 This is the last-day message going to the world. 00:15:59.25\00:16:01.62 Everyone is going to be tested and tried 00:16:01.92\00:16:03.99 with this message, so should we want to get it out? 00:16:04.29\00:16:07.23 Absolutely! Amen! There's open rebellion, bold rebellion 00:16:07.36\00:16:13.13 against God. And I tell you this: He's not going to let it 00:16:13.34\00:16:15.80 go unpunished. God's going to punish this world. 00:16:15.90\00:16:18.57 The United States of America is soon to suffer 00:16:18.77\00:16:21.08 like they've never seen it before because we're rebelling 00:16:21.58\00:16:23.95 against God's Word... we're rebelling against God's law. 00:16:24.15\00:16:27.62 We're allowing the Ten Commandment law to be 00:16:27.88\00:16:29.92 thrown down and people stamping on it and stomping on it 00:16:30.02\00:16:32.72 and saying it doesn't exist. 00:16:32.92\00:16:34.26 By the grace of God you know what? We need to look at it 00:16:34.59\00:16:36.46 carefully and say: "You know what? We'll never let 00:16:36.56\00:16:37.96 somebody say the law of God's done away with" 00:16:38.16\00:16:40.20 without us giving some kind of rebuttal based on the Word 00:16:40.40\00:16:42.53 of God. This is essential that we live in. 00:16:42.63\00:16:45.43 People say: "Well, I don't understand it. " 00:16:45.63\00:16:47.00 I'll tell you why you don't understand it 00:16:47.04\00:16:48.37 if you'll just allow me to go. I'm not a mind reader. 00:16:48.40\00:16:50.11 But I do believe this: the Bible says in I Corinthians 00:16:50.57\00:16:53.38 2:14... "Spiritual things are... " What? 00:16:53.68\00:16:57.15 "spiritually discerned. " 00:16:57.45\00:16:59.75 We lack spiritual power because we've not been seeking it. 00:17:00.05\00:17:03.92 We lack spiritual power because we've not been following 00:17:04.42\00:17:07.89 what we know is truth. That's right! 00:17:07.99\00:17:09.89 We've been going around the edges of it but God wants us 00:17:10.06\00:17:12.06 to get in deep right now. We need to get in deep 00:17:12.16\00:17:14.03 in the Word of God. What kind of people will God use 00:17:14.23\00:17:18.10 here in these last days? Again, we're talking clear 00:17:18.30\00:17:20.37 discernment. We're talking about special people in the last days. 00:17:20.47\00:17:22.97 Who are they? And what will they do? 00:17:23.27\00:17:25.21 We're going to just sit in the pews and do nothing? 00:17:25.61\00:17:27.48 THIS IS THE HOUR I am convinced as well as many many others. 00:17:27.58\00:17:31.21 What kind of people will God use to finish the work? 00:17:31.61\00:17:35.42 Number one I believe this: He's going to use those who will 00:17:35.72\00:17:38.85 cooperate with Him. Amen! Remember: not somebody that's 00:17:39.09\00:17:42.76 going to use the Holy Spirit but the Holy Spirit will use them 00:17:42.96\00:17:45.63 to do a work that God says to do. 00:17:46.03\00:17:48.23 And you'll know exactly when that takes place 00:17:48.43\00:17:51.17 in your own life. Those He will use to finish 00:17:51.27\00:17:54.57 are those who are active in the cause of Christ. 00:17:54.77\00:17:57.27 If you're not active in the cause of Christ, 00:17:57.61\00:17:59.17 I encourage you to get active. 00:17:59.27\00:18:00.81 Do something for the cause of Christ right now 00:18:01.04\00:18:03.41 while it's still day. Night's coming when no man can work. 00:18:03.61\00:18:06.98 We know these things but we still sit idly by 00:18:07.38\00:18:09.68 for years now, and we're not really getting off our backside 00:18:09.88\00:18:12.85 because we think we have more time left. 00:18:13.05\00:18:15.39 Things are happening today... yesterday... so 00:18:15.89\00:18:19.06 it tells you that it's not. 00:18:19.26\00:18:20.83 God's going to use in the last days those who are 00:18:21.10\00:18:23.47 quick to discern opportunities. 00:18:23.67\00:18:26.74 See, we have to have our mind singled to the glory of God 00:18:27.24\00:18:29.74 and when opportunity prevails itself He wants us to act 00:18:29.84\00:18:32.31 on it, claim it. Go ahead and get out there and get it 00:18:32.51\00:18:34.91 or the enemy's going to take it. 00:18:35.11\00:18:36.75 God's going to use here in the last days - 00:18:37.25\00:18:39.08 there's no doubt about it, there's no doubt about it - 00:18:39.28\00:18:41.58 those who can discern the signs of the times. 00:18:41.88\00:18:44.92 We need to discern what? The signs of the times. 00:18:45.32\00:18:48.72 We need to find a people who match this. We need to find 00:18:48.92\00:18:51.59 a people who are going to carry this work to completion 00:18:51.69\00:18:54.36 by the grace of God. 00:18:54.46\00:18:55.80 And then you know what? Then join them! 00:18:55.86\00:18:57.77 There's too many who sit and watch for years 3ABN 00:18:58.27\00:19:01.57 and they say: "Well this is truth! " 00:19:01.87\00:19:03.30 If you believe it's truth, then how about just gettin' 00:19:03.64\00:19:05.21 with the program and go find you a church? 00:19:05.31\00:19:07.01 How about becoming a part of that then? If it is the truth, 00:19:07.51\00:19:09.98 then you're required to follow what is truth. 00:19:10.18\00:19:12.55 Does that make sense? You're required; it's action! 00:19:12.75\00:19:15.28 It's not sitting by doing nothing saying: 00:19:15.68\00:19:17.65 "Well I believe. " The devil says "I believe" 00:19:17.85\00:19:19.59 as he trembles. He does nothing about it. 00:19:19.79\00:19:21.32 Turn with me in your Bibles to the book of Isaiah quickly. 00:19:21.96\00:19:23.96 Isaiah. You know this well; you have it committed to heart. 00:19:24.26\00:19:26.53 But you know what? It's good that we go over it again 00:19:26.93\00:19:29.03 'cause I'm looking and you're looking and I... Listen: I 00:19:29.36\00:19:32.00 want to be part of that people who are a restorer. 00:19:32.10\00:19:35.47 I want to be a part of that people who're building on that 00:19:35.67\00:19:38.31 foundation, you know that? A foundation. 00:19:38.41\00:19:40.88 I want to be part of that people that gives this last-day 00:19:41.68\00:19:43.95 message and I know you do too. 00:19:44.05\00:19:45.71 Isaiah chapter 58 verse 12. It says: 00:19:46.21\00:19:49.45 "And they that shall be of thee shall do... " What? 00:19:49.65\00:19:52.02 Shall build what? Isaiah 58. 00:19:52.32\00:19:55.42 If you don't have your Bible you still should know this 00:19:55.62\00:19:57.23 anyway. Are you with me? 00:19:57.33\00:19:59.19 They're going to build the old waste places 00:19:59.39\00:20:00.96 "Thou shalt raise up the foundation of... " What? 00:20:01.16\00:20:03.63 "many generations. Thou shalt be called the repairer... " 00:20:04.13\00:20:07.10 Notice: "of the breach, 00:20:07.20\00:20:08.57 the restorer of the paths to dwell in. " 00:20:08.67\00:20:11.14 I want to by the grace of God to be called what? A repairer 00:20:11.54\00:20:14.84 of the breach. By the grace of God a restorer 00:20:14.94\00:20:17.98 of the paths to dwell in. You remember what we just read 00:20:18.08\00:20:20.95 in Jeremiah? It said: "Ask for the old paths. " 00:20:21.35\00:20:24.79 Get back to the way it used to be 00:20:24.89\00:20:27.12 not the way somebody says: "Oh it is today. " 00:20:27.52\00:20:29.66 The Bible tells us exactly the way that it should be. 00:20:29.99\00:20:32.33 And then it says what? Our work: "As if thou turn... " 00:20:32.73\00:20:35.00 verse 13 Isaiah 58: "Thou turn away thy foot from... " What. 00:20:35.10\00:20:39.43 "the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day 00:20:39.73\00:20:42.50 and call the Sabbath a delight. " Notice this: "HOLY 00:20:42.70\00:20:45.34 of the Lord, honorable. Shall honor Him not doing thine own 00:20:45.54\00:20:49.38 ways nor finding thine own pleasure 00:20:49.48\00:20:51.55 not speaking thine own words. 00:20:51.75\00:20:53.28 Then... " verse 14... "shalt thou delight thyself 00:20:53.48\00:20:56.28 in the Lord. " And what is He going to do? 00:20:56.48\00:20:57.89 He's going to cause thee to do what? 00:20:58.09\00:20:59.79 "ride on the high places of the earth, 00:21:00.16\00:21:02.26 feed thee with the heritage of Jacob... " 00:21:02.46\00:21:04.46 Why? "thy Father for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. " 00:21:04.66\00:21:07.66 God said: "You'll ride on the high places. " 00:21:07.86\00:21:09.70 We've often said here: "We don't need to be the tail 00:21:10.03\00:21:12.30 when we can be the head. " 00:21:12.40\00:21:13.74 God... As His last-day people you can be the head. 00:21:13.80\00:21:16.27 He can give you power that we've never even dreamed of 00:21:16.67\00:21:18.91 or even thought of if we just come to Him and humble our 00:21:19.01\00:21:21.01 hearts, forsake our sins, turn our hearts and minds 00:21:21.11\00:21:24.21 toward Him. Watch what He can do 00:21:24.41\00:21:26.11 in your life and in my life and the church, the organization, 00:21:26.31\00:21:30.35 if we just simply read the Word and say: "This is what God has 00:21:30.55\00:21:33.02 said. " And not "we won't do it" but "we WILL do it 00:21:33.22\00:21:35.26 by the grace of God. " Amen! 00:21:35.36\00:21:36.99 There's too much of "Well I think" or "times have changed. " 00:21:37.09\00:21:39.19 Nothing has changed in the Word of God. 00:21:39.59\00:21:41.13 It's still God means what He says. 00:21:41.33\00:21:42.93 Amen! Yes! If we look at the words... 00:21:43.23\00:21:45.53 I'm excited about that because it says there's people, 00:21:45.63\00:21:48.30 people here in these last days that says they're going to bring 00:21:48.50\00:21:51.31 back the Sabbath truth. Interesting! 00:21:51.51\00:21:54.11 When we are guided by God, we are guided by the Holy Spirit 00:21:54.51\00:21:59.01 we will have clear discernment. 00:21:59.25\00:22:01.28 Did you get it? Too many cloudy minds! 00:22:01.58\00:22:03.99 The devil's out to cloud your mind by things you take into 00:22:04.29\00:22:06.45 your body and all these other things that are going on in the 00:22:06.55\00:22:08.42 world. We can't discern why we're even here 00:22:08.52\00:22:11.06 or what we should be doing and it should be so clear! 00:22:11.09\00:22:13.50 And we should never get sidetracked from it 00:22:14.00\00:22:15.73 but somehow we do by side issues and all the other stuff 00:22:15.83\00:22:19.07 rather than warning the world what the beast power is doing 00:22:19.27\00:22:22.44 and how the world is wandering after. 00:22:22.64\00:22:24.31 You see, we know those things are going to take place. 00:22:24.61\00:22:27.74 We know what's been taking place here. 00:22:28.04\00:22:29.61 Of what's Just around the corner... 00:22:29.81\00:22:31.51 just around the corner, dear friends. We need to be 00:22:31.91\00:22:34.52 relying upon the Holy Spirit. 00:22:34.72\00:22:36.69 Remember: if you are in tune, if I am in tune 00:22:36.89\00:22:38.95 with the Spirit of the living God, 00:22:39.15\00:22:40.86 if I have clear discernment... 00:22:41.06\00:22:42.39 Notice: I think it's something we need to re-think about 00:22:42.62\00:22:44.73 here. I'm not going to call righteousness unrighteousness. 00:22:45.03\00:22:48.30 If I have clear discernment, I'm not going to say... 00:22:48.70\00:22:50.60 What God has said is "Don't do this! " 00:22:50.70\00:22:52.37 I'm not going to be doing it. 00:22:52.47\00:22:53.80 We're in tune with the Spirit of God. 00:22:55.97\00:22:58.21 We're going to understand where the Lord is 00:22:58.41\00:23:00.38 and what He wants us to do. 00:23:00.58\00:23:01.98 Many of us can't figure out what we're even doing here. 00:23:02.48\00:23:04.98 We need to be praying because the time is short. 00:23:05.51\00:23:08.28 We need to be seeking the Lord. 00:23:08.78\00:23:10.49 A reformation: Isaiah chapter 58 00:23:10.89\00:23:13.02 gives the characteristics of those who will be a reformer. 00:23:13.22\00:23:16.83 Why not pray? Why not pray 00:23:17.13\00:23:18.83 "God, help me to be a reformer. I want to be a reformer. " 00:23:18.93\00:23:21.86 "I want to be a restorer. " 00:23:22.16\00:23:23.87 "I want to see those foundations of many generations raised up 00:23:24.80\00:23:27.60 again. " But they can't be until God's people are challenged 00:23:27.80\00:23:30.61 to say: "Now is the hour to do it. " 00:23:30.81\00:23:32.84 "Now is the time to do it. " 00:23:33.21\00:23:34.61 He's given us the tools of 3ABN to reach the world 00:23:34.84\00:23:37.41 with this message and somehow we're just kind of "Well, 00:23:37.61\00:23:40.02 well well well... " 00:23:40.12\00:23:41.88 Think about it! 00:23:42.28\00:23:43.85 Given the tools like no other tool to reach people 00:23:44.32\00:23:47.76 in the confines of their home to bring conviction on their heart 00:23:47.79\00:23:50.96 and then to step out in faith to join this movement. 00:23:51.19\00:23:54.10 We have to love our brothers and sisters. 00:23:54.30\00:23:56.00 Do we realize the time that we're talking about here 00:23:56.40\00:23:58.83 Isaiah talked about it in Isaiah. Just jot it down 00:23:59.13\00:24:02.00 because for time we're moving quickly. 00:24:02.20\00:24:03.54 Isaiah 13:9 the Bible says... 00:24:03.64\00:24:05.84 I believe Isaiah was a prophet of God, don't you? 00:24:06.04\00:24:08.21 And I believe when he spoke that we need to listen. 00:24:08.61\00:24:10.75 It's more for our day than maybe it was even for his day. 00:24:10.95\00:24:13.08 He says to us in verse 9: 00:24:13.28\00:24:14.82 "Behold, the day of the Lord cometh. " Notice: 00:24:15.02\00:24:17.39 "and to lay the land desolate. 00:24:17.59\00:24:20.66 He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. " 00:24:21.02\00:24:24.23 There's that sin issue... it's all over the place. 00:24:24.73\00:24:26.83 It's in every place. Every thing you see, everything you do. 00:24:27.03\00:24:29.23 But God says there's going to be a time of purification. 00:24:29.63\00:24:32.40 And it's for His church, too. 00:24:32.70\00:24:34.04 This church needs to be purified. 00:24:34.24\00:24:35.64 This church needs to follow what God says in His Word. 00:24:36.04\00:24:38.34 Amen! If we are His people, 00:24:38.64\00:24:41.08 we will follow what He says. 00:24:41.18\00:24:42.94 It will not be based upon a group of individuals. 00:24:43.14\00:24:45.05 It will not be based upon a board. 00:24:45.15\00:24:46.51 It will be based upon a "thus saith the Lord. " 00:24:46.72\00:24:49.95 That's God's people... That's His voice, 00:24:50.15\00:24:52.55 and the voice of God speaks as God would speak. 00:24:52.75\00:24:55.02 Isaiah says in chapter 13 verse 11 00:24:55.32\00:24:58.09 "I will punish the world... " Notice this... 00:24:58.29\00:25:00.63 Isaiah 13:11: "I will punish the world 00:25:00.83\00:25:03.47 for their evil and for the wickedness of their iniquity. 00:25:03.67\00:25:07.67 I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease 00:25:07.87\00:25:10.41 and lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. " 00:25:10.71\00:25:13.98 See, in view of these things that we're looking at right now 00:25:14.34\00:25:17.65 today we need to be looking at... Talk about Joel chapter 2. 00:25:17.71\00:25:21.32 It's very interesting. Might just turn there 00:25:21.52\00:25:23.22 and kind of keep... we'll go through it just a little bit. 00:25:23.42\00:25:25.42 In view of the fact of what day that we're living in, 00:25:25.92\00:25:28.29 what has transpired, what's taking place right now 00:25:28.49\00:25:30.73 we need to say... we need to blow a trumpet in Zion. 00:25:30.93\00:25:33.43 We need to do what? 00:25:34.20\00:25:36.16 Yeah, some of you are not going to do it. 00:25:36.46\00:25:38.13 Somebody needs to blow a trumpet. 00:25:38.33\00:25:39.90 When you blow a trumpet you're going to get somebody's 00:25:40.20\00:25:41.94 attention to do what needs to be done. 00:25:42.14\00:25:43.91 You're going to wake somebody up. 00:25:44.07\00:25:45.41 You're going to agitate some. I understand. 00:25:45.44\00:25:47.34 Some people are going to be agitated when you give them 00:25:47.68\00:25:49.84 the truth, but that's still your job... whether they hear 00:25:49.94\00:25:52.41 or whether they forbear. 00:25:52.61\00:25:53.98 This... this station here... your life, my life is 00:25:54.18\00:25:57.55 to give the message whether people will accept it 00:25:57.65\00:25:59.92 or whether they will not. 00:26:00.09\00:26:01.42 It's not: "Well, they're going to be mad at me" 00:26:01.46\00:26:03.02 or "this church, I want to get along with this group; 00:26:03.22\00:26:04.83 I want to get along with that group. " 00:26:04.93\00:26:06.29 I just want to get along with God... how about you? 00:26:06.49\00:26:08.80 I want to follow the Word as the Word tells us to do. 00:26:09.10\00:26:11.83 Don't always be looking around saying: "Well we need to be 00:26:12.13\00:26:14.54 like this group, we need to be like... " 00:26:14.74\00:26:16.14 He says: "Come apart and be separate, " doesn't He? 00:26:16.34\00:26:18.61 "And touch not the unclean thing. " 00:26:18.91\00:26:20.31 Be different! Get a different people. 00:26:20.51\00:26:22.41 Most of the time you can't tell an Adventist from somebody else 00:26:22.61\00:26:25.55 walking down the street. 00:26:25.65\00:26:27.02 You can't tell by their conversation. 00:26:27.05\00:26:28.45 You can't tell by the dress; you can't tell by what we eat. 00:26:28.65\00:26:30.99 The way that we conduct ourselves. 00:26:31.25\00:26:32.85 We can't tell the difference, but God's last-day people.. 00:26:33.05\00:26:35.19 you will be able to tell a difference in them 00:26:35.39\00:26:37.63 because Christ will be showing through. 00:26:37.89\00:26:39.36 No longer I. Willing to step behind the cross of Calvary 00:26:39.56\00:26:42.13 and let Him... let Jesus be seen. Amen! 00:26:42.33\00:26:45.23 This is the message God has given. It's an urgent message! 00:26:45.37\00:26:47.74 I feel it in my bones. I'm tell- ing you: I feel it in my bones. 00:26:47.94\00:26:50.47 And I know you do, too. The prophet of God says 00:26:50.67\00:26:53.64 we need to call a fast. Notice that in Joel 2:15-16. 00:26:53.84\00:26:58.15 Notice what it says quickly. It says we are to "sanctify 00:26:58.38\00:27:01.82 a fast. " Huh! "Call a solemn... " What? 00:27:02.02\00:27:05.12 "assembly. " First of all you blow the trumpet 00:27:05.32\00:27:08.56 in Zion. You know what that word blow is? 00:27:08.69\00:27:10.86 It says a blast. Somebody needs to be blasting on the trumpet! 00:27:11.03\00:27:14.30 I don't like somebody blasting on a trumpet 00:27:14.60\00:27:16.43 if they're not in tune. Somebody's not with me. 00:27:16.67\00:27:19.20 There's nothing worse than somebody making a big old noise 00:27:19.40\00:27:21.34 when it's just way out of sync with everything else. 00:27:21.54\00:27:23.64 If you're out of sync with the Word of God, 00:27:23.84\00:27:25.41 you're blowing the wrong note. 00:27:25.61\00:27:26.98 Somebody needs to sound the right note. 00:27:27.28\00:27:28.64 That's what the Bible says here. 00:27:28.74\00:27:30.08 Blast. Call. It says blast. Blow that trumpet there! 00:27:30.38\00:27:34.68 Now notice what it says. We are to "sanctify a fast. " 00:27:34.88\00:27:38.12 You know what that is? That's to keep holy. 00:27:38.42\00:27:40.76 That's to dedicate. That's talking about overcoming. 00:27:41.26\00:27:44.49 That's talking about consecration. 00:27:44.79\00:27:47.30 Dedication. Proclamation of this gospel. 00:27:47.60\00:27:51.97 All in those words "sanctify a fast; 00:27:52.37\00:27:55.20 call a solemn assembly. " 00:27:55.40\00:27:56.87 Call a meeting, somebody! Call a meeting! 00:27:57.07\00:27:59.31 And know what the Bible says here? "Call a meeting; 00:27:59.54\00:28:01.28 bring them together. Gather the people; 00:28:01.48\00:28:03.48 sanctify the congregation. " 00:28:03.68\00:28:05.25 You can't be sanctified while there's still sin in the life. 00:28:05.55\00:28:07.95 Sanctified congregation is what? Confessing our sin before God, 00:28:08.15\00:28:12.15 standing righteous before Him because of who He is, 00:28:12.35\00:28:15.06 not because of who you are or who I am. 00:28:15.36\00:28:17.36 It's because of the blood of what? Of Jesus Christ. 00:28:17.66\00:28:20.06 Does anybody believe that He's able to do that? 00:28:20.46\00:28:22.33 Is He able to take sin out of your life? 00:28:22.73\00:28:24.27 Are you able to live the victorious life? 00:28:24.57\00:28:26.43 Absolutely! It's because of who He is. 00:28:26.84\00:28:28.17 When you look at yourself, you are a failure. I am a failure. 00:28:28.24\00:28:31.07 But He doesn't see failures; He doesn't accept failures. 00:28:31.57\00:28:34.21 He only accepts those who will gain the victory through Him 00:28:34.51\00:28:36.85 to live His life. Let Him live through you. 00:28:37.05\00:28:40.02 What about it? Let people see that change will come. 00:28:40.22\00:28:42.75 "Gather the children. Let the priests and the ministers 00:28:43.15\00:28:45.62 weep. " How long has it been since the preachers have been 00:28:45.82\00:28:49.02 down on their knees weeping and crying? 00:28:49.12\00:28:50.83 You know what that weeping means? It means moaning 00:28:50.93\00:28:52.56 and groaning because of the hurt. 00:28:52.86\00:28:55.03 Some of the things I've heard and seen in the last few days 00:28:55.33\00:28:57.60 it's made me sick at my stomach. 00:28:57.80\00:28:59.47 It's absolutely made me sick! 00:28:59.77\00:29:01.40 I've had a hard time. I've been a little bit grouchy. 00:29:01.70\00:29:03.84 Somebody's not praying for me. 00:29:04.24\00:29:05.97 My wife said I'm a little bit grouchy. I'm a little bit on 00:29:06.37\00:29:08.34 edge because I'm saying: "Oh Lord, have mercy. 00:29:08.44\00:29:10.41 Can we see the world wondering after the beast? " 00:29:10.58\00:29:12.58 There are those whose names are not written in the Lamb's 00:29:12.81\00:29:14.72 Book of Life. The devil uses representatives. 00:29:14.82\00:29:18.29 You know, he's using a repre- sentative all of the time while 00:29:18.49\00:29:20.82 he's setting the stage for where he comes. 00:29:20.92\00:29:24.29 Somebody's not with me. The next thing we're going to know 00:29:24.69\00:29:27.23 he's going to be here. He uses representatives. 00:29:27.40\00:29:29.56 He's setting the stage up. This is our time to do it. 00:29:29.76\00:29:32.43 It's going to be cut short one of these days. 00:29:32.63\00:29:34.34 This is not always going to be like it is today. 00:29:34.94\00:29:37.11 That's why it's urgent - URGENT - that we do what God 00:29:37.51\00:29:39.64 asks us to do today. 00:29:39.74\00:29:41.08 "Weep between the ports at the vestibule. " 00:29:42.21\00:29:44.61 As soon as you start walking in the church doors 00:29:44.81\00:29:46.48 we should start weeping praying: "Oh God! " 00:29:46.72\00:29:48.35 You know what? People come through the doors they think 00:29:48.55\00:29:50.09 they're holy and they're righteous and they're good. 00:29:50.19\00:29:51.85 They don't really have a need of a change. 00:29:52.05\00:29:53.39 Oh, we need to re-think that. 00:29:53.46\00:29:54.79 We need to re-think that. You look at the life of Jesus 00:29:55.22\00:29:58.09 Christ you'll see yourself for what you are... 00:29:58.19\00:30:00.00 the way I see myself. 00:30:00.20\00:30:01.50 The more I behold Him the more filthy and dirty 00:30:01.60\00:30:03.43 I am, the more I have the need of a Savior. 00:30:03.63\00:30:05.37 Great Controversy says "the great work of reform was and is 00:30:05.57\00:30:09.40 to be accomplished. " A great work of what? 00:30:09.60\00:30:12.91 If we didn't need it, why was it printed? 00:30:13.44\00:30:15.61 If everything's A- OK the way it is? 00:30:15.91\00:30:17.68 How wonderful it is that God sees His professed people... 00:30:18.78\00:30:22.12 He sees we have great need of Him. 00:30:22.42\00:30:24.89 And sometimes we don't feel it. We have that lukewarm, 00:30:25.09\00:30:27.72 we have that "We're OK" business. 00:30:27.82\00:30:29.86 But God in His mercy and His grace sends us a message 00:30:30.09\00:30:33.09 to prepare us for His coming. 00:30:33.29\00:30:34.96 Isn't that wonderful? Great Controversy 609 says: 00:30:35.26\00:30:37.53 "The Lord gives a special truth 00:30:37.87\00:30:39.50 for the people in an emergency. " Friend, we're in 00:30:39.70\00:30:42.17 an emergency! I really feel like it's an emergency! 00:30:42.27\00:30:45.91 The Holy Spirit has to talk to you. I can't get to you. 00:30:48.91\00:30:51.08 But I know the Holy Spirit can. 00:30:51.58\00:30:53.35 I feel it in my own soul. I felt an uneasiness, an unrest, 00:30:53.55\00:30:59.22 of what's soon to take place. 00:31:00.29\00:31:01.62 And it's not going to continue on just "easy come, easy go" 00:31:01.72\00:31:04.13 like it is right now as a Christian. 00:31:04.23\00:31:05.63 You're going to be put on trial. 00:31:05.83\00:31:07.50 The hammer's going to be put down on you, and you know 00:31:07.93\00:31:10.03 what? The REAL Christian will stand. 00:31:10.13\00:31:12.67 The real cream will come to the top. 00:31:12.97\00:31:14.37 The real special people... the real movement will come 00:31:14.57\00:31:16.97 because the majority will leave. 00:31:17.27\00:31:18.74 We might as well get that through our heads. 00:31:19.24\00:31:20.74 That's why I want you to fasten to Jesus Christ right now. 00:31:20.84\00:31:23.24 Revelation 14- the three angels' message. 00:31:23.55\00:31:25.41 Praise God! This station talks about the three angels' message, 00:31:25.51\00:31:28.02 taking it to the world. Nothing is to occupy the mind 00:31:28.22\00:31:30.59 but the giving of the three angels' message. 00:31:30.79\00:31:32.49 Don't get sidetracked my brothers and sisters. 00:31:32.79\00:31:34.66 Please don't get sidetracked. 00:31:34.86\00:31:36.19 This is what it's all about today. 00:31:36.46\00:31:37.86 Think about what it says. First angel's message... 00:31:38.86\00:31:40.86 All the world, after these messages are presented, 00:31:41.06\00:31:44.27 immediately after that it says Jesus will come. 00:31:44.37\00:31:46.77 Jesus will... In Revelation 14:15 it says what? 00:31:47.67\00:31:50.24 "The harvest is ready. " Puts in a sickle, right? 00:31:50.54\00:31:53.31 And reaps. "The harvest is ready. " 00:31:53.34\00:31:55.58 Friend, we have to be ready. 00:31:55.98\00:31:57.48 We have to be ready. 00:31:57.88\00:31:59.21 God's first warning message. I want you to think and you've 00:31:59.48\00:32:01.98 thought about it many times, I'm sure. 00:32:02.08\00:32:03.62 The hour of God's judgment is here. 00:32:03.89\00:32:05.82 171 years. 00:32:06.12\00:32:08.99 171 years we've been in the last days. 00:32:10.46\00:32:13.03 We're talking about the judgment hour of 1844. 00:32:13.23\00:32:15.50 Think about it: where Jesus is at, what He's doing, 00:32:16.16\00:32:18.63 what He's pleading in our behalf. He's pleading His blood. 00:32:18.83\00:32:20.94 The judgment goes from the righteous dead unto what? 00:32:22.00\00:32:24.81 The living. When your name comes up 00:32:25.11\00:32:27.94 what's going to be pronounced? When it does come up 00:32:28.14\00:32:29.84 that's it. It's final... there'll be no more. 00:32:29.94\00:32:31.68 Brings tears to your eyes: 00:32:32.18\00:32:33.52 those who know the truth and they won't follow it. 00:32:33.58\00:32:35.18 That's heartbreaking. That's more heartbreaking for me 00:32:35.48\00:32:37.55 at this point than those who don't know because God 00:32:37.65\00:32:39.35 is just and He's good. 00:32:39.55\00:32:40.92 He's going to take care of those who understand what they 00:32:41.22\00:32:43.49 understand. But those of you who know what truth is, 00:32:43.59\00:32:46.09 bless your heart, you need to get back in and right now 00:32:46.29\00:32:48.56 while there's still time. 00:32:48.66\00:32:50.00 We need to get back. 00:32:50.03\00:32:51.37 That first angel's message gives the call to come back 00:32:52.23\00:32:54.90 and to worship the One who made heaven and earth 00:32:55.10\00:32:57.34 and the sea. We know that. And when you read that 00:32:57.44\00:32:59.57 you can't help but say: "Oh, He wants to bring us back 00:32:59.77\00:33:01.88 to creation. He wants to bring us back 00:33:02.08\00:33:03.55 to the seventh-day Sabbath. I don't accept any other 00:33:03.65\00:33:06.28 day of worship than the seventh day. 00:33:06.48\00:33:08.42 I'm not trying to be difficult about it, but you know what? 00:33:08.72\00:33:10.72 You have to do it because of what? The apostasy 00:33:11.02\00:33:13.05 and the power of darkness - the devil himself - is 00:33:13.15\00:33:15.32 saying: "The first day of the week. " 00:33:15.42\00:33:16.76 They're BOLD with the first day of the week. They're talking 00:33:16.83\00:33:18.96 about there's no other day; this is the way it has to be. 00:33:19.16\00:33:20.90 You're going to be fined; you're going to be imprisoned. 00:33:21.13\00:33:22.66 There'll end up being a death decree 00:33:22.76\00:33:24.13 because we didn't say anything. 00:33:24.17\00:33:25.53 Now we need to say the seventh day is the Sabbath 00:33:25.83\00:33:28.47 of the Lord thy God! That's what the Bible says. 00:33:28.77\00:33:30.57 That's what the three angels' messages are about: 00:33:30.77\00:33:32.41 to proclaim! Don't be ashamed of it. 00:33:32.61\00:33:35.38 I'm a Sabbath keeper. I keep the 7th-day Sabbath. 00:33:35.48\00:33:37.81 Amen! That's what the Bible says. 00:33:38.11\00:33:40.32 That's why this station is here: to give this message 00:33:40.52\00:33:42.65 to the world, bring us back. 00:33:42.75\00:33:45.52 Holy angels are directing the work. 00:33:45.72\00:33:50.13 Think about it! But the work of preaching this gospel 00:33:50.29\00:33:52.83 has been what? Been given to mankind to do. 00:33:53.03\00:33:56.03 God's going to work with us. 00:33:56.23\00:33:57.57 4 Testimonies 485, notice this: 00:33:58.63\00:34:00.97 "God will not make men and women channels of light 00:34:01.07\00:34:03.10 while they are in darkness, while they are content 00:34:03.30\00:34:06.27 to remain so making no special efforts 00:34:06.47\00:34:09.01 to connect with the Source of light. " 00:34:09.31\00:34:11.28 Says here... isn't it time that we got rid of the old 00:34:11.78\00:34:14.32 habits and customs? Lay them aside? 00:34:14.42\00:34:16.58 "The errors... let them be corrected. 00:34:16.79\00:34:18.59 Then we can receive the truth, " listen carefully, "and carry out 00:34:19.35\00:34:22.26 its principles by the grace of God. 00:34:22.36\00:34:24.26 This is the only way victory can be gained. " 00:34:24.56\00:34:26.80 Lay aside all those pre-conceived, right? 00:34:27.66\00:34:29.56 Look what the Word of God says and say: "By God's grace 00:34:29.76\00:34:31.83 I'm going to do it. " 00:34:32.13\00:34:33.50 Second angel's message simply... You know, we're 00:34:34.10\00:34:35.67 talking about Babylon is fallen. You understand it. 00:34:35.77\00:34:37.61 The world - religious world - is drunk with false doctrine 00:34:37.91\00:34:41.21 and teaching in the world today. 00:34:41.41\00:34:42.94 People say: "There's not... " Listen, when they say that 00:34:43.91\00:34:45.75 I'm going to rise up I'm telling you right now. 00:34:45.95\00:34:48.02 Somebody pray for me. 00:34:48.22\00:34:49.55 Somebody says: "Why you're no different than all these other 00:34:49.58\00:34:51.15 churches. Your message is about the same. 00:34:51.25\00:34:52.59 We go to this church over here... we go to this church. 00:34:52.69\00:34:54.46 Sounds like the same... just sounds like the same. " 00:34:54.76\00:34:56.49 You're not doing your job, pastor, 00:34:56.69\00:34:58.09 teachers, elders. You can't be doing your job. 00:34:58.29\00:35:00.53 It can't be the same! Can it? No! No. 00:35:00.73\00:35:03.77 The world... Most of the world you talk about here 00:35:03.87\00:35:06.74 is concerned. They don't know the difference in law and grace. 00:35:06.84\00:35:08.94 They don't know anything about the Sabbath, 00:35:09.44\00:35:10.81 the second coming, death, hell, the sanctuary message, 00:35:10.91\00:35:13.41 judgment. They don't know these beautiful truths. 00:35:13.61\00:35:16.04 They don't even know what the United States in Bible prophecy. 00:35:16.54\00:35:18.51 They don't know what the beast is; they don't know 00:35:18.71\00:35:20.05 what the image to the beast... 00:35:20.12\00:35:21.45 They don't know about Daniel 2; they don't know about Daniel 7 00:35:22.18\00:35:25.02 and Revelation 13 and 17 and 18. 00:35:25.32\00:35:28.52 They don't know Revelation 14. They JUST DON'T KNOW these 00:35:28.82\00:35:31.79 truths. They think that it ended when Christ died on Calvary. 00:35:31.99\00:35:35.56 Some of you think that today. You need to re-think the issue. 00:35:35.86\00:35:38.93 He must apply His blood in the Most Holy Place. 00:35:39.13\00:35:41.54 That's just as essential as His death upon the cross. 00:35:41.84\00:35:44.51 We need to be reading and studying 00:35:44.71\00:35:46.04 what all other people are thinking and believe is truth. 00:35:46.88\00:35:49.64 Babylon has disregarded the commandments of God. 00:35:50.81\00:35:53.28 There's no doubt about it. 00:35:53.48\00:35:54.82 The one that points to the true God. 00:35:54.85\00:35:56.69 We should rise up in opposition, don't you think, 00:35:57.09\00:35:59.42 when they try to bury the true God and put Him down. 00:35:59.72\00:36:02.39 Say: "NO! He's identified in that fourth commandment. " 00:36:02.49\00:36:05.69 That's why the devil's trying to pull it away. 00:36:05.89\00:36:07.50 That's why this station I know is dedicated to presenting 00:36:07.76\00:36:10.77 these truths, and it's not going to be easy. 00:36:10.97\00:36:13.94 The pressure's going to come... money situations. 00:36:14.14\00:36:16.44 People's going to be putting pressure on to not do it 00:36:16.74\00:36:18.74 but by God's grace I know it will go as long as God wants it 00:36:18.84\00:36:22.41 to go. God says: "Those who honor Me I will honor. " 00:36:22.51\00:36:25.98 And all you who present the truth: God will honor you. 00:36:27.22\00:36:29.48 It will last exactly as long as He wants it to. 00:36:29.68\00:36:31.52 It will accomplish the work that He wants it to do. 00:36:31.82\00:36:33.56 But you can't do it through compromise. 00:36:33.76\00:36:35.62 We've compromised enough; we've compromised the truth. 00:36:35.82\00:36:37.93 I don't want to compromise any more the truth of God's 00:36:38.03\00:36:40.43 Word. It means something to me; 00:36:40.53\00:36:41.93 I know it means something to you. Amen! 00:36:42.03\00:36:44.23 We have... This world, the Protestant world, has taken 00:36:44.33\00:36:46.90 the child of the papacy as the sacred day. 00:36:47.00\00:36:49.34 I'm not going to do that by the grace of God. 00:36:49.54\00:36:51.14 You know why? In the Word of God God says 00:36:51.64\00:36:54.58 that is fornication. 00:36:54.68\00:36:56.44 Are you? That's what the Bible says! 00:36:56.75\00:36:58.08 They say: "Oh well he's up there saying... " The Bible says 00:36:58.21\00:37:00.65 that's fornication. It's unpleasing to God. 00:37:00.75\00:37:04.12 God has a controversy with the churches of the world today 00:37:04.42\00:37:08.12 there's no doubt. They are fulfilling prophecy 00:37:08.32\00:37:10.49 just like John talked about. He said: "All nations have 00:37:10.69\00:37:13.33 drunk of the wine... the false doctrine. " 00:37:13.53\00:37:15.63 They've rejected a "thus saith the Lord. " 00:37:16.60\00:37:18.73 They've divorced themselves from God, and I tell you, many 00:37:19.13\00:37:21.80 of us are very close to that if we've not already done it. 00:37:22.00\00:37:23.91 Why? Because we refuse to have the seal. 00:37:25.44\00:37:28.61 Ezekiel 20:12. Sign and seal of His people in the 00:37:28.71\00:37:31.95 last days: seventh-day Sabbath. 00:37:32.15\00:37:33.92 People have trampled on it; we need to raise it back up. 00:37:34.22\00:37:36.25 Foundation of many generations. There'll be a group of people 00:37:36.45\00:37:39.09 that see that hole in the wall and they're going to restore it 00:37:39.19\00:37:41.32 by the grace of God. But it will cost you. 00:37:41.42\00:37:43.63 It will cost you. Not a day goes by in my life 00:37:44.96\00:37:47.10 I don't realize it's going to cost 00:37:47.20\00:37:48.56 and I'm sure in yours, too. I'm no different than anyone 00:37:48.96\00:37:51.00 else, but oh, it's going to cost one of the days. 00:37:51.10\00:37:52.57 Oh God, help me to be faithful. 00:37:52.67\00:37:54.20 Help me to be faithful. I can't do it on my own. 00:37:54.57\00:37:56.81 Oh God, help me to be faithful. 00:37:57.67\00:37:59.51 Seventh day... The prophet John... he saw the whole world. 00:38:00.44\00:38:05.48 The Bible says the whole world received the mark of the beast. 00:38:05.78\00:38:08.45 He says except for just a little small company 00:38:09.78\00:38:12.75 who refuse to worship the beast and his image. 00:38:12.95\00:38:15.36 But almost the whole world. 00:38:16.32\00:38:18.43 He identifies that little group in the book of Revelation 00:38:18.83\00:38:22.53 chapter 15 if you'll turn there quickly. Oh, time's going by. 00:38:22.73\00:38:25.27 Lord have mercy on us. 00:38:25.37\00:38:26.74 Revelation 15:2-3. 00:38:27.90\00:38:30.51 Let's just condense it down. Those of you who have it... 00:38:30.97\00:38:32.54 Here's what John said. He said he looked and I'm sure 00:38:32.74\00:38:34.98 it broke his heart. The whole world followed after 00:38:35.08\00:38:36.95 the beast. Their names are not written 00:38:37.05\00:38:38.88 in the Lamb's Book of Life. And then Revelation 15:2-3 00:38:38.98\00:38:41.35 he said: "I saw this group of people. I saw those who had 00:38:41.55\00:38:44.32 gotten the victory over the beast. I saw those who got 00:38:44.42\00:38:47.06 the victory over the image. 00:38:47.26\00:38:48.82 I saw those who had gotten the victory over the mark. 00:38:49.12\00:38:51.26 I saw those who had gotten the victory over the number 00:38:51.56\00:38:53.93 of his name and they stood on the sea of glass. " 00:38:54.00\00:38:57.07 Whoo! That's just exciting to say! 00:38:57.37\00:39:00.67 He saw the final race is run and it's finished. And he said: 00:39:00.87\00:39:05.81 "I saw that there was a small group of people. " 00:39:05.91\00:39:08.31 That was a remnant, right? But they had gotten the victory 00:39:08.51\00:39:10.68 over the image and the beast and the number of the beast. 00:39:10.78\00:39:12.81 Oh, will you be one of those? 00:39:12.91\00:39:15.32 Will I be one of those? 00:39:15.62\00:39:16.95 We have to realize what we're confronted with 00:39:17.32\00:39:19.25 right here. I thought about it as I was reading it today. 00:39:19.45\00:39:22.22 It brought tears to my eyes and I said: "Man, as I read 00:39:22.42\00:39:23.86 this right here I'm thinking about my church family. 00:39:23.96\00:39:26.83 I'm thinking about my children; 00:39:26.93\00:39:28.23 I'm thinking about my grandchildren. 00:39:28.26\00:39:29.60 I'm thinking about those in the world. 00:39:29.63\00:39:30.97 I'm thinking about myself. I say: "Oh God, 00:39:31.00\00:39:32.33 thank you that You have shown us that there will be 00:39:32.37\00:39:34.94 a people in the last days. " 00:39:35.04\00:39:36.54 There will be. 00:39:36.94\00:39:38.74 makes it very, very clear. 00:39:39.01\00:39:41.14 "Here's the patience of the saints. Here are they that 00:39:41.34\00:39:44.45 do... " what? "keep the commandments of God 00:39:44.55\00:39:46.95 and have the faith of Jesus. " 00:39:47.15\00:39:49.68 That's exciting to me to know that. 00:39:50.09\00:39:52.35 We have to realize... You're saying: "You know, this is 00:39:52.55\00:39:54.89 kind of like it's been goin' on, been goin' on, been goin' 00:39:54.99\00:39:57.43 on same old way, same old way. " 00:39:57.53\00:39:59.16 Can't you see it's changing? 00:39:59.46\00:40:01.00 It's been energized. 00:40:02.30\00:40:04.07 Let me tell you: the wrong has been energized. 00:40:04.27\00:40:07.50 The devil is energizing... making people think everything 00:40:07.70\00:40:10.27 is A-OK and it's going along good when you know better. 00:40:10.47\00:40:13.54 If you don't know the message, you don't know any better. 00:40:13.94\00:40:16.34 If you don't understand who God is, you don't know. 00:40:17.25\00:40:19.11 If you don't know there's s judgment going on you don't 00:40:19.41\00:40:20.92 realize what's goin' on. 00:40:21.02\00:40:22.35 That's why we have a job to do - each and every one of us - 00:40:22.62\00:40:24.59 wherever we're at. 00:40:24.79\00:40:26.12 We all have a work to do. 00:40:26.72\00:40:28.06 We're all valuable in the cause of Christ 00:40:28.09\00:40:29.89 because He said so. Yes! 00:40:29.99\00:40:31.33 Not because I do or somebody votes that you are. 00:40:31.66\00:40:33.66 Christ said that you are valuable 00:40:34.73\00:40:36.60 and He certainly proved that on Calvary, did He not? 00:40:37.10\00:40:39.20 Amen! We have to realize that the third angel's message... 00:40:39.50\00:40:42.60 Somebody listen. Third angel's message. 00:40:42.70\00:40:44.77 We say: "We've heard it so long. " 00:40:44.87\00:40:46.21 Remember, the importance of the third angel's message 00:40:46.44\00:40:49.41 increases as we near the end. 00:40:49.61\00:40:52.48 Did you get it? What? 00:40:52.78\00:40:54.48 Third angel's message: it increases in importance 00:40:54.68\00:40:56.75 as we near the end of time. 00:40:56.95\00:40:58.62 You say: "Why? " Listen: number one: this 00:40:58.82\00:41:01.19 message is of the utmost importance. 00:41:01.39\00:41:03.93 Absolutely. Think about it. 00:41:05.83\00:41:08.16 Inspiration says we need to search the scriptures; 00:41:08.96\00:41:12.27 learn how to guard against the mystery of iniquity. 00:41:12.67\00:41:16.91 How to guard against what? The mystery of iniquity. 00:41:17.31\00:41:19.64 The man of sin... the little horn power. 00:41:19.84\00:41:21.31 The one who thought to change times and law. 00:41:21.71\00:41:23.61 We know that's the papacy. We know that beyond 00:41:24.11\00:41:26.35 the shadow of a doubt. And some of you, you grimaced. 00:41:26.45\00:41:28.65 I think I saw a couple of you jump. 00:41:28.85\00:41:30.19 You know what? You need to jump. 00:41:30.25\00:41:31.59 This is the true message. You know what? Because that 00:41:33.46\00:41:35.69 power does not mind to get up and say: 00:41:35.79\00:41:37.66 "This is what you need to do. " Claiming to be God himself 00:41:37.76\00:41:40.56 and everything's changed and you need to follow what man says. 00:41:40.76\00:41:43.16 We need to follow what God has said in here. 00:41:43.40\00:41:45.23 We need to follow what God has said in HERE! 00:41:45.53\00:41:47.77 There is no compromise; there is no substitute. 00:41:48.17\00:41:51.17 He blessed, He sanctified the seventh day. 00:41:51.87\00:41:53.84 It's not the first, it's not the second, it's no other day. 00:41:54.11\00:41:56.38 God does not change... it will always be that way. 00:41:56.58\00:41:58.81 Remember, third angel's message begins to what? 00:41:59.01\00:42:01.82 Increase in importance as we near the end of time. 00:42:01.92\00:42:05.02 Why? 00:42:05.25\00:42:06.65 We're talking about a harvest time. Absolutely for sure! 00:42:07.82\00:42:10.99 But it plays such a large part in the closing scenes 00:42:11.83\00:42:16.63 of earth's history because of the man of sin. 00:42:16.87\00:42:19.70 Because we see him in activity 00:42:21.70\00:42:23.77 and then our message needs to speed up. 00:42:23.87\00:42:26.84 Our message needs to go. See, I'm not going to spend 00:42:27.78\00:42:30.98 any time in apologizing for those who don't understand 00:42:31.08\00:42:33.21 this. God knows what you do... what you do know and what 00:42:33.31\00:42:36.45 you don't. That's not my job. I don't convict; 00:42:36.55\00:42:38.29 I don't convert. The Holy Spirit does. 00:42:38.39\00:42:40.12 But we spend half the time apologizing "I'm a Sabbath 00:42:41.02\00:42:43.12 keeper. " I'm not going to apologize 00:42:43.22\00:42:44.56 to be a Sabbath keeper. I'm not going to apologize 00:42:44.66\00:42:46.96 because Daniel 7, Daniel 2, Revelation 13 say... 00:42:47.13\00:42:49.93 all identify the man of sin as the papacy. We know that. 00:42:50.03\00:42:52.43 Not trying to hurt... not trying to do it. That's not the issue. 00:42:52.87\00:42:54.80 The issue is that's what we have to warn the world 00:42:55.00\00:42:57.07 because the world is digging up the ground that 00:42:57.27\00:42:59.37 the Pope walks on and saying it's holy ground. 00:42:59.47\00:43:01.58 It is NOT holy ground. 00:43:01.88\00:43:03.21 Holy is where God is at... where the Spirit of God is at 00:43:03.35\00:43:05.58 makes something holy, isn't it? 00:43:05.88\00:43:07.25 So how can you say it's holy 00:43:07.45\00:43:08.78 when it's going against the Word of God? 00:43:08.88\00:43:10.62 We have the Word of God - praise God! - for that. 00:43:10.92\00:43:12.92 Third angel's message has been sent to warn the world 00:43:13.76\00:43:16.19 against receiving what? The mark of the beast. 00:43:16.49\00:43:19.73 But notice: churches don't want to say too much about it. 00:43:20.13\00:43:23.16 They're afraid they're going to upset... 00:43:24.23\00:43:26.37 Oh be careful, myself, now. Let me calm down a minute. 00:43:26.70\00:43:28.80 Take a breath. 00:43:28.90\00:43:30.37 We're afraid that we're not going to get along with our 00:43:34.81\00:43:36.81 neighbor church over here or somebody. 00:43:36.91\00:43:38.31 I can name some names... I don't need to do it. 00:43:38.45\00:43:39.85 You know what I'm talking about. 00:43:39.98\00:43:41.32 We don't want to upset anybody. 00:43:41.45\00:43:43.55 You know what? It's not somebody... We're to 00:43:43.79\00:43:45.32 give the truth. It's not whether they get mad 00:43:45.42\00:43:47.46 or whether they accept. It's we're commissioned to 00:43:47.56\00:43:50.59 give it and give it plain. 00:43:50.79\00:43:52.96 Remember, our message... You realize our message 00:43:53.36\00:43:55.03 must be sharper than it's ever been before? 00:43:55.23\00:43:57.33 Have a little quote I want to share with you here: 00:43:58.23\00:44:00.04 Letter 1F, 1890, says: 00:44:00.94\00:44:03.81 "As the end approaches the testimony of God's servant 00:44:04.01\00:44:06.88 will become more decided and more powerful 00:44:07.08\00:44:09.81 flashing the light of truth upon the system of error 00:44:10.25\00:44:13.62 and oppression that so long has had supremacy. 00:44:13.82\00:44:16.82 All who believe present truth must stand. " 00:44:17.32\00:44:20.56 "All who believe... " You know what? We'll hear that 00:44:23.63\00:44:26.93 and we'll just say: "Well yeah. Hey, yeah I know. Hey... " 00:44:27.13\00:44:30.27 We're not talking about just stand and say: "Hey, yeah. " 00:44:30.77\00:44:32.93 Stand. "What do you want me to do? " 00:44:33.34\00:44:35.44 "Where do I need to go? What needs to take place here? 00:44:35.84\00:44:37.94 I want to be used! " Standing means action. 00:44:38.04\00:44:40.74 Something's getting ready to take place. 00:44:41.01\00:44:42.34 You can't run while you're sitting in a chair! 00:44:42.38\00:44:44.01 You've got to get up and get your tennis shoes on. 00:44:44.85\00:44:46.25 If you don't have tennis shoes, go barefooted. 00:44:46.55\00:44:47.95 God will protect your little feet. 00:44:48.05\00:44:49.38 "All who believe present truth must stand. " Notice that. 00:44:49.85\00:44:52.42 Revelation 13, I'm telling you: "keep the commandments of God. " 00:44:54.56\00:44:59.33 Let me read something here quickly the last few minutes 00:44:59.53\00:45:01.93 that we have. This is so important 00:45:02.03\00:45:03.47 because we're talking about the first, second, third. 00:45:03.97\00:45:05.87 Just quickly, I'm buzzing through these things. 00:45:05.97\00:45:08.04 But it goes through my mind I know as it does yours 00:45:08.14\00:45:10.01 day and night because of the warning. 00:45:10.21\00:45:12.71 And "Lord, how could I reach more people for You? " 00:45:12.91\00:45:15.68 I realize as we get older our time is running out... 00:45:16.24\00:45:18.31 not only in this world but in this life. 00:45:18.51\00:45:20.02 And I know how much He's done for me, and I'm very grateful 00:45:20.82\00:45:23.05 and thankful and I just want to do more for Him. 00:45:23.15\00:45:24.59 It's not a means of salvation. Not trying to work my way 00:45:24.79\00:45:26.76 anywhere. Not trying to be justified by men or action. 00:45:26.86\00:45:29.62 By the blood of the Lamb. Amen! Be justified by the blood of 00:45:29.92\00:45:33.40 the Lamb. He washes us clean and white as snow, 00:45:33.50\00:45:35.90 and I'm so thankful for that. Gives us an opportunity 00:45:36.00\00:45:38.10 to be able to share the Word. This means so much to me 00:45:38.40\00:45:41.27 and means so much to you. 00:45:41.37\00:45:42.84 Third angel's message: that warning against receiving 00:45:43.37\00:45:46.11 the mark or the image. If we receive the mark and the 00:45:46.21\00:45:50.81 image it simply means this: that we come to the same conclusions 00:45:50.91\00:45:54.18 of the beast power. And if we're quiet, that means we still 00:45:54.35\00:45:57.72 agree. That means you sided with. This is no time. 00:45:57.92\00:46:01.52 It says: "Blow the trumpet. " That means do some exposing. 00:46:01.72\00:46:04.73 Did anybody get that? Yes! We MUST EXPOSE! 00:46:07.03\00:46:10.50 Not talking about individual people. We're talking about the 00:46:10.90\00:46:13.64 movement, the audacity the devil has to show himself 00:46:13.74\00:46:18.64 as his representative. 00:46:18.94\00:46:21.01 As I mentioned a while ago in preparation for himself 00:46:21.21\00:46:23.45 showing up. And I guarantee you: that makes me... Ooh! 00:46:23.55\00:46:26.82 Pray for me! 00:46:27.02\00:46:28.35 As I hear the newspeople so biased toward it 00:46:31.05\00:46:34.49 to say "the most holy father. " 00:46:34.69\00:46:36.02 There's no holy man on this planet! That's right! 00:46:36.06\00:46:39.26 There's none! And they say: "the most holy father. " 00:46:39.46\00:46:42.23 My heart goes out... it bleeds for them to say... 00:46:42.53\00:46:44.67 They don't know or they couldn't say this. 00:46:44.77\00:46:46.60 "Oh we praise him... he's over here... " 00:46:46.90\00:46:49.97 A billion people will come. The Word says they will wonder. 00:46:50.17\00:46:53.27 But you know what? We have to make sure we do our part. 00:46:53.48\00:46:55.38 That's not backing down, backing up. That means 00:46:55.68\00:46:57.61 going forward by the grace of God and just doing what He's 00:46:57.78\00:47:00.45 asked us to do. And remember: it's because you care. 00:47:00.55\00:47:03.82 Amen! And if there's an urgency as the Spirit is telling you 00:47:04.02\00:47:06.69 then you need to be doing it. 00:47:06.79\00:47:08.32 Anything less is treason against God at this point in time 00:47:08.62\00:47:10.79 of emergency. Notice this with me. 00:47:10.99\00:47:14.20 This is interesting. Now the first time I read this here 00:47:14.36\00:47:17.07 somebody's going to... Talks about the light of truth. 00:47:17.17\00:47:22.27 "The light of truth has been presented to you revealing 00:47:22.47\00:47:24.51 the Sabbath of the fourth commandment 00:47:24.71\00:47:27.71 showing there is no foundation in the Word of God for Sunday 00:47:27.81\00:47:31.15 keeping, and yet you still cling to the false Sabbath 00:47:31.25\00:47:34.05 refusing to keep holy the Sabbath which God calls 00:47:34.45\00:47:37.65 My holy day. " Did you know it? 00:47:37.75\00:47:39.62 You receive the mark of the beast and you'll say: "Yeah but 00:47:39.92\00:47:42.59 no one has received... " We'll have to go back and say: 00:47:42.69\00:47:44.59 "I understand that" because after the law is passed, yes. 00:47:44.69\00:47:48.10 But many of you already know. So what else has to take place 00:47:49.33\00:47:52.40 for people to say: "I've studied it. I understand 00:47:52.60\00:47:54.30 it's binding. I'm not going to do it. " 00:47:54.40\00:47:55.74 You're already following after another power. 00:47:55.94\00:47:57.47 You've chosen another leader. 00:47:57.57\00:47:59.04 You've rejected the truth. 00:47:59.94\00:48:02.01 You stand underneath the leadership of someone else 00:48:03.18\00:48:05.35 that's the enemy... you know that. 00:48:05.45\00:48:07.05 It's not trying to be difficult. It's trying to get you to say 00:48:07.45\00:48:10.12 one way or the other. You can't have it both ways. 00:48:10.32\00:48:13.29 You can't just be in here and everything's going to be 00:48:13.49\00:48:14.89 hunky-dory and fluffy and wonderful and good. 00:48:14.99\00:48:16.62 It's not going to be that way. 00:48:16.86\00:48:18.19 Now notice the comment I made. Notice this: 00:48:18.39\00:48:20.53 when does this take place? 00:48:21.43\00:48:22.76 We're talking about the mark of the beast. 00:48:22.80\00:48:24.17 When the test comes. 00:48:24.53\00:48:25.87 And remember, when the test comes, the majority of us 00:48:26.27\00:48:28.64 will leave. Does that make me happy? No! 00:48:28.74\00:48:32.07 It makes me want to proclaim it more... get the attention 00:48:32.37\00:48:33.91 of people and say: "Look... please don't. " 00:48:34.11\00:48:35.81 "Please... you understand what it is. Please stand here; 00:48:36.11\00:48:37.81 get a hold of the hand of Jesus. " Let Him lead. 00:48:37.91\00:48:39.58 Let Him do what He needs to do in your life and my life 00:48:39.71\00:48:42.35 to make sure we're not shaken out. 00:48:42.65\00:48:44.49 "The decree that commands you to cease from labor on Sunday 00:48:45.72\00:48:48.79 and worship God... " That's talking about the Sunday law. 00:48:48.99\00:48:51.76 You know there is not a word in the Bible showing Sunday to be 00:48:51.96\00:48:54.60 other than a common working day. 00:48:54.73\00:48:56.26 See, when you know that... when you accept that 00:48:56.77\00:49:01.40 child of the papacy rather than a "thus saith the Lord, " the 00:49:01.60\00:49:04.04 seventh-day Sabbath, yeah, you receive the mark of the beast. 00:49:04.24\00:49:06.61 That's what it is. 00:49:06.71\00:49:08.04 Letter 12, 1900. Quickly... time's running out. 00:49:08.18\00:49:10.31 Says: "When the test comes... " 00:49:10.51\00:49:12.01 See... we get a little quiet. We get a little bit nervous 00:49:12.31\00:49:14.88 when we start talking about these. I don't know why. 00:49:15.08\00:49:17.42 It either is what He said it is or it's not. 00:49:20.19\00:49:23.09 We either present it or we don't present it. 00:49:23.29\00:49:26.29 And you can say: "Oh, we needed a little bit more love. " 00:49:26.59\00:49:28.73 "We need somebody up here that's going to sugar it 00:49:28.83\00:49:30.27 a little bit. " That's not me... I can't help it. 00:49:30.37\00:49:33.07 Doesn't make me any better than anybody else. 00:49:33.17\00:49:35.07 I don't feel the sugar. 00:49:35.27\00:49:36.91 All right! The sweetness of it. We're talking life and death. 00:49:37.91\00:49:42.11 We're talking about heaven or hell is what we're talking about 00:49:42.31\00:49:44.25 here.. and people need to understand it as such. 00:49:44.45\00:49:46.82 It's not like: "Well, you do the best you can 00:49:47.02\00:49:48.35 and you're going to make it in the kingdom. " 00:49:48.38\00:49:49.72 HERE'S the message of the hour! 00:49:49.75\00:49:51.09 The three angels' message. This is the testing truth. 00:49:51.12\00:49:53.36 That's why this station is so important that people 00:49:53.66\00:49:55.49 support it... that you give to the cause of Christ. 00:49:55.62\00:49:57.86 If you're going to give, give now! 00:49:58.06\00:49:59.49 Do NOW so the gospel can go be- fore these doors are closed up. 00:49:59.69\00:50:03.93 They're gonna be closed up... you can see it right now 00:50:04.03\00:50:07.00 the laws that are being passed. You have no freedom of speech. 00:50:07.20\00:50:10.27 You have no freedom of conscience any more. 00:50:10.67\00:50:12.64 Laws are there... they're in place. 00:50:13.14\00:50:15.68 And if you go against the law of the land you'll be arrested 00:50:16.18\00:50:18.55 and thrown in jail. 00:50:18.65\00:50:19.98 You're faced with that... I'm faced with that. That's why 00:50:21.22\00:50:23.35 I'm saying we need a Savior. 00:50:23.45\00:50:24.92 We need a relationship that not too many of us maybe have. 00:50:25.12\00:50:27.62 But by God's grace say: "God, give me that. " 00:50:27.66\00:50:29.59 Inspiration say, Letter 12, "When the test comes 00:50:30.73\00:50:34.50 it will be shown clearly 00:50:34.73\00:50:37.63 what the mark of the beast is: that's the keeping of Sunday. 00:50:37.83\00:50:40.40 Those who after they've heard the truth 00:50:40.80\00:50:44.04 continue to regard the first day as holy 00:50:44.24\00:50:48.04 bear the signature of the man of sin 00:50:48.24\00:50:49.98 that thought - Daniel 7:25- to change times and laws. " 00:50:51.01\00:50:54.35 If you're part of this movement that's part of the stuff you 00:50:56.38\00:50:58.55 have to look at. That's part of the stuff I have to deal with 00:50:58.65\00:51:01.39 and you, too. It either is or isn't. 00:51:02.22\00:51:04.53 If it's not the truth, somebody challenge me. 00:51:04.63\00:51:06.39 I'll put you back to the Word of God. 00:51:07.40\00:51:09.70 God challenges you today. 00:51:09.90\00:51:11.30 He said: "This is what I've asked My last-day people, 00:51:11.70\00:51:13.90 My special people, those who are going to be restorers... " 00:51:14.00\00:51:16.97 Right? "Restorers of the path to dwell in. " 00:51:17.07\00:51:19.27 Right? "The repairers of the breach, the hole in the wall. 00:51:19.31\00:51:22.18 Raising up the foundation of many generations. " 00:51:22.38\00:51:25.71 Papacy had a big start on us. 00:51:26.01\00:51:27.92 You realize the papacy was in existence a thousand years 00:51:28.12\00:51:30.19 before there ever was a Protestant. 00:51:30.29\00:51:31.95 So don't tell me they didn't have a thousand years 00:51:32.25\00:51:33.82 to cover up all this business. I'm laying it out there. 00:51:33.92\00:51:36.32 Why? Because we need to wake up if we're thinking otherwise. 00:51:37.39\00:51:40.66 That we're just gonna get along and compromise 00:51:40.86\00:51:42.50 and everything. This is NOT politics. 00:51:42.60\00:51:44.97 This is not just talkin' about things that we can all agree 00:51:46.97\00:51:49.60 with and that have a different agenda and we're all going to 00:51:49.70\00:51:51.47 shake hands and come out. It just either is or it isn't. 00:51:51.57\00:51:53.54 God's calling His last-day people. 00:51:54.98\00:51:57.48 That's just around the corner that we're talking about. 00:51:57.85\00:52:01.32 And I say to you: the least departure 00:52:01.82\00:52:05.19 from right breaks down that barrier 00:52:05.49\00:52:10.33 that prepares the heart for greater injustice. 00:52:10.36\00:52:13.40 The least what? Departure from right. 00:52:13.80\00:52:17.43 We cannot afford by the grace of God to just have a little 00:52:17.70\00:52:20.20 small departure. We can't say it's just a little thing. 00:52:20.30\00:52:23.61 We can't say it really doesn't matter. 00:52:23.91\00:52:26.11 Remember that this message here - unless you can prove it - 00:52:27.38\00:52:29.84 is distasteful. Why? 00:52:29.94\00:52:33.01 As we mentioned while ago "Well, we should give it 00:52:35.98\00:52:37.99 a little different... " Listen: Jesus Christ Himself 00:52:38.09\00:52:40.32 left glory. He came down here. 00:52:40.52\00:52:42.29 No one could have presented any better than He did. 00:52:43.89\00:52:46.66 No one will ever even come close to it. 00:52:46.86\00:52:48.93 But they nailed Him on the cross. 00:52:49.13\00:52:50.90 They rejected Him. So you can say all the sweet 00:52:51.93\00:52:54.67 sugar and however you present it and the love you have 00:52:54.77\00:52:57.77 for your fellow man, you want them to be saved in the kingdom 00:52:57.87\00:53:00.08 and let the Holy Spirit do the convicting of the heart and 00:53:02.31\00:53:05.18 the mind. Amen. The church needs to be converted. 00:53:05.28\00:53:07.78 We need a reformation... we need to reform. 00:53:08.08\00:53:10.59 We need to change. And we say: "Yes, yes. " 00:53:11.09\00:53:14.29 But when will it come? 00:53:14.39\00:53:15.86 See, when will the change really come? 00:53:16.26\00:53:17.76 What's it going to be? When you get enough money 00:53:17.79\00:53:20.00 you can retire? You get all of your bills paid for? 00:53:20.10\00:53:21.86 Your house paid? You see what I'm talking about here? 00:53:22.06\00:53:24.27 When will it really be? Or will it be now? 00:53:25.20\00:53:27.87 Where does a real reformation start? 00:53:28.37\00:53:31.41 Four minutes. Somebody help me. Whoo! 00:53:32.21\00:53:33.88 I want to go a couple more hours. 00:53:33.98\00:53:35.48 I told my brother that, I think. 00:53:36.14\00:53:37.51 Whatever they say. We just go down till it says "zero" 00:53:37.55\00:53:39.51 on there and I'll be doing like this... 00:53:39.61\00:53:41.92 Stretch it. Get more time. 00:53:43.69\00:53:45.79 Where does revival? Reformation. Where does it really begin? 00:53:48.49\00:53:51.39 It begins with us. True reformation begins 00:53:51.79\00:53:54.36 with soul cleansing... the church is ready to cleanse 00:53:54.56\00:53:58.17 the soul by the grace of God. 00:53:58.27\00:54:00.44 His blood, everything, and willing to follow Him. 00:54:00.64\00:54:02.97 It's going to happen! 00:54:03.27\00:54:04.87 It's going to happen. 00:54:05.17\00:54:06.51 I want it to happen. Amen! 00:54:06.54\00:54:08.88 Those of you who study prophecy you see what's to take place 00:54:09.08\00:54:11.48 and say: "Oh God, I need some help. " 00:54:12.18\00:54:14.05 I need some help. You need some help today? 00:54:14.68\00:54:18.09 You believe in a people? I'll ask my wife to come out 00:54:18.59\00:54:20.86 if she's here somewhere. We're going to have closing prayer. 00:54:20.99\00:54:22.42 I can't hardly do anything without my right hand. 00:54:22.92\00:54:25.19 I don't know about you. I hope it's OK. 00:54:25.49\00:54:27.86 Amen! She's with me all the time and helps to have 00:54:28.16\00:54:30.43 closing prayer. She understands the stuff that we study 00:54:30.53\00:54:32.87 and we go through in our meetings that we're having. 00:54:32.97\00:54:34.74 My heart just aches for what's happening. Amen! 00:54:35.14\00:54:37.84 And really, we need to take this so serious. 00:54:38.14\00:54:41.11 Amen! You know, I know we'll stay at every meeting 00:54:41.31\00:54:43.91 and everybody that brings it: "Oh, yes. " 00:54:44.11\00:54:45.45 But what will we do and when will we do it? 00:54:45.48\00:54:48.18 Now! Now is the day. Now is the appropriate time. 00:54:48.48\00:54:51.79 And that means conversion. That means right now. 00:54:52.29\00:54:54.16 I want you to lift your heart to God as you have prayer for us 00:54:54.26\00:54:56.99 honey. We'll kneel up here and they can kneel if they want 00:54:57.09\00:54:58.89 or just be seated, close your eyes. 00:54:58.99\00:55:00.96 Think about things the Holy Spirit is impressing you with. 00:55:01.13\00:55:03.77 How we need to get involved. Remember, some of you can't 00:55:04.17\00:55:06.63 do some of the things but you can always give to the cause. 00:55:06.74\00:55:08.94 You can always help others who are out there on the line. 00:55:09.14\00:55:10.81 Pray about that. Let's pray about those who have made 00:55:11.17\00:55:13.38 decisions. Those of you at home, please: 00:55:13.48\00:55:15.61 you've listened to the truth for a long time 00:55:15.81\00:55:17.91 but you've not responded. I'm encouraging you, please 00:55:18.21\00:55:20.72 respond right now. Um-hmm. Find you a church 00:55:20.82\00:55:23.92 that keeps the commandments of God and has the faith of Jesus. 00:55:24.32\00:55:26.96 Yes! Find that church 00:55:27.26\00:55:29.39 and do something and attend before it's too late. 00:55:29.59\00:55:32.23 Let's pray, shall we? 00:55:32.43\00:55:33.80 Most gracious heavenly Father, Wow! What a message we 00:55:37.33\00:55:40.94 have heard today. Lord help us. 00:55:41.04\00:55:43.04 This third angel's message needs to get stronger; 00:55:43.17\00:55:46.94 it needs the power of the fourth 00:55:47.04\00:55:49.14 to accompany it. Yes! We are living in historic times 00:55:49.34\00:55:53.25 they are telling us. It is times that You've told us 00:55:53.38\00:55:56.55 about for many many years. 00:55:56.65\00:55:58.65 And God, as these people - Your chosen people - have 00:55:58.89\00:56:01.76 gathered together here in this sanctuary 00:56:01.86\00:56:04.83 around the television set may they feel as never before 00:56:04.93\00:56:09.06 that they need to open up the Word of God, 00:56:09.26\00:56:12.03 they need to write it in their hearts and their minds 00:56:12.23\00:56:14.64 before it is ever too late. Yes, Lord. 00:56:14.74\00:56:16.47 We need to be loving our neighbors, loving our children, 00:56:16.91\00:56:19.84 asking and praying and pleading for open doors to share the 00:56:20.08\00:56:24.15 truth. We need the truth... the truth that will set us free... 00:56:24.25\00:56:28.28 set us free from sin. Oh God, 00:56:28.78\00:56:30.82 help each and every one of us. Forgive us of our sins 00:56:31.02\00:56:34.92 here today. And I pray as every head is bowed 00:56:35.12\00:56:38.16 and those who are on their knees that they are crying out 00:56:38.36\00:56:41.20 saying: "God, help me! 00:56:41.30\00:56:43.00 God, give me a new start today. 00:56:43.20\00:56:45.57 Help my children, my grandchildren, Lord. " 00:56:45.87\00:56:48.57 Prepare us because that door of probation 00:56:48.97\00:56:52.04 it is closing and it's closing fast. 00:56:52.34\00:56:55.28 In Christ's name we pray and we thank you, Lord. 00:56:55.58\00:56:59.41 Amen; amen; amen; amen. 00:56:59.81\00:57:02.65 We have about 27 seconds. We want to encourage 00:57:02.85\00:57:06.15 the folks to continue to be tuning in to the Camp Meeting. 00:57:06.35\00:57:09.52 A lot of good speakers; a lot of good messages. 00:57:09.92\00:57:12.13 You won't want to miss any of them.
