Hello and welcome
to Friday evening.
00:00:49.91\00:00:52.65
Camp Meeting. Fall Camp
Meeting. Homecoming Camp Meeting
00:00:52.85\00:00:55.68
2015. The Sabbath
hours have finally come
00:00:55.92\00:00:59.35
and we finally get
to say Happy Sabbath!
00:00:59.55\00:01:03.73
We've been trying
to say that all day.
00:01:03.93\00:01:05.39
Someone almost said it last
night because any time you get
00:01:05.69\00:01:07.86
a good-looking group
of Adventists together
00:01:07.96\00:01:09.86
you want to say Happy Sabbath.
00:01:10.17\00:01:11.50
So now we actually
can say Happy Sabbath.
00:01:11.63\00:01:14.50
And that's Happy Sabbath to
our audience here in this house
00:01:14.80\00:01:17.51
and our audience
around the world.
00:01:17.81\00:01:19.57
Whether you are
beginning Sabbath,
00:01:19.67\00:01:21.18
you may be into your Sabbath,
00:01:21.48\00:01:23.24
you may be heading towards
the new week depending on
00:01:23.45\00:01:25.61
where you are on planet earth
00:01:25.71\00:01:27.32
we wish you a happy Sabbath.
00:01:27.42\00:01:28.98
And if you're
done with your Sabbath
00:01:29.28\00:01:31.62
and heading towards the new
week we wish you a blessed week
00:01:31.72\00:01:33.86
in Jesus Christ. We are
just beginning the Sabbath here
00:01:33.96\00:01:36.26
and we are so very very excited.
00:01:36.46\00:01:37.86
Danny, Yvonne, Mollie,
00:01:38.16\00:01:40.93
Pastor John: we've had
a wonderful day thus far,
00:01:41.13\00:01:44.63
Danny, have we not?
Oh, it's been incredible.
00:01:44.83\00:01:47.27
But it's better
that Pastor John is back.
00:01:47.47\00:01:49.20
He's been in Washington,
D.C. visiting with the Pope.
00:01:49.40\00:01:52.71
I don't know if you had
a... Is that called "popery? "
00:01:53.01\00:01:55.74
I'm not sure what that is.
00:01:55.94\00:01:57.28
But he was there
at the White House, so
00:01:57.45\00:02:00.02
we told him he had
a shine about him, so
00:02:00.22\00:02:02.52
we didn't know if that
was from the Pope or the Lord.
00:02:02.72\00:02:04.49
He said it was from the Lord,
so... Yeah, it's from the Lord.
00:02:04.69\00:02:06.39
Plus I got here too
late to put on make-up.
00:02:06.59\00:02:08.02
That's what's going on. Oh,
that's what the shine is. Sorry!
00:02:08.22\00:02:11.99
Yeah... OK. It was
interesting to be in Washington.
00:02:12.39\00:02:16.13
It is amazing how the
Lord works things out.
00:02:16.43\00:02:18.20
I never asked to go,
but the Lord saw fit that
00:02:18.30\00:02:21.77
Brad Walker and I went.
Brad did the camera work
00:02:21.97\00:02:24.47
and we met a lot of
very interesting people.
00:02:24.87\00:02:27.08
The general temperature
of the crowd there...
00:02:27.18\00:02:30.08
and there was every
denomination represented...
00:02:30.28\00:02:32.45
there were some people there
that had no denomination at all.
00:02:32.55\00:02:35.08
But when asked: "What do
you think about the Pope's visit
00:02:35.58\00:02:37.89
to America? " There
was a guy that lived just
00:02:37.99\00:02:40.29
forty miles away. He said: "This
is the most historical event
00:02:40.49\00:02:43.63
in U.S. history. " And someone
else said that the security
00:02:43.83\00:02:47.50
was the highest
level of security EVER
00:02:47.70\00:02:50.43
in any U.S. event...
paramount to the security
00:02:50.73\00:02:54.74
of the presidential inauguration
00:02:54.94\00:02:57.01
but on a broader scale because
it was not just in Washington
00:02:57.21\00:02:59.64
but in New York, in the air-
ports, and then in Philadelphia
00:02:59.84\00:03:03.24
coming up. When we asked
people what do they think about
00:03:03.35\00:03:06.95
the Pope's impact on
politics and religion in America
00:03:07.15\00:03:09.72
many of them said:
"This is the hour that we need
00:03:10.12\00:03:13.52
a real moral leader. "
00:03:13.62\00:03:15.82
And they said: "He is the most
powerful, moral, and spiritual
00:03:16.02\00:03:21.43
leader in the world. "
And whatever he decides
00:03:21.53\00:03:24.40
they are fine with it.
00:03:24.60\00:03:25.97
That was people from
different denominations.
00:03:26.17\00:03:27.74
There was a lady that
held up a banner about...
00:03:28.04\00:03:29.64
and we were sure
she was Catholic...
00:03:29.84\00:03:31.74
And I said: "Well, you really
must be excited! " Because
00:03:31.94\00:03:35.18
everything on that banner
indicated that she was Catholic.
00:03:35.28\00:03:37.65
And she said: "No, I'm
not Catholic... I'm Lutheran.
00:03:38.05\00:03:39.78
However, he's my Pope, too. "
00:03:39.98\00:03:41.78
And we thought that the
general temperature is...
00:03:42.08\00:03:44.69
and as I asked them I asked
some very challenging questions.
00:03:44.89\00:03:47.52
We'll get a chance to
reveal that on the footage that
00:03:47.72\00:03:50.16
Brad Walker is editing. It's
going to be a dynamic program.
00:03:50.26\00:03:52.53
But the nutshell was:
it was interesting to see
00:03:52.93\00:03:55.83
the impact when Pope Francis
stepped out on the balcony
00:03:56.03\00:03:59.87
of the capitol building it was
like being at a church service.
00:04:00.07\00:04:04.47
And there were thousands
of people gathered on the
00:04:04.67\00:04:07.18
White House lawn... I
mean on the capitol lawn,
00:04:07.28\00:04:09.58
and you could hear a pin drop.
00:04:09.88\00:04:11.51
It was almost as
if you can breathe...
00:04:11.91\00:04:13.92
Someone's phone rang
and you almost heard it echo
00:04:14.32\00:04:16.89
through the crowds.
That's how silent it was.
00:04:16.99\00:04:18.95
And when he said: "buenos dias"
00:04:19.45\00:04:22.92
the crowd interrupted. There was
nothing that he could have said
00:04:23.12\00:04:25.86
that did not get an
overwhelming reaction.
00:04:26.26\00:04:29.06
But I believe that where we're
headed is going to be quite
00:04:29.46\00:04:31.97
interesting. The high point
for me was when I had a chance
00:04:32.07\00:04:34.34
to meet with other... Catholic
priests... and we had a meet
00:04:34.54\00:04:37.74
and greet with congressmen
and getting to just touch bases
00:04:37.97\00:04:41.14
with people. And you know,
the Lord has given me something
00:04:41.24\00:04:44.71
that I call... well let
me just say it this way:
00:04:44.91\00:04:46.85
I don't believe that we have
time to... and I've said this
00:04:47.05\00:04:50.09
before, my church members
have heard me say this...
00:04:50.19\00:04:51.99
we don't have time to meander
in the maze of mediocrity
00:04:52.39\00:04:55.09
or ponder at the
pool of popularity
00:04:55.52\00:04:57.33
or negotiate at
the table of the enemy.
00:04:57.63\00:04:59.59
And so I was able to
sit down with congressmen.
00:05:00.10\00:05:02.10
One said to me: "What is
your general tenure about
00:05:02.33\00:05:05.93
the Pope's visit to America?
" in his private chambers
00:05:06.03\00:05:08.44
with his advisor there
and communication director.
00:05:08.84\00:05:11.11
And I said: "Well...
since you've asked...
00:05:11.51\00:05:13.84
and I gave him a
study on Daniel 7,
00:05:14.34\00:05:17.05
Daniel 2, Amen! and
Revelation 13... both beasts.
00:05:20.22\00:05:24.12
In a nutshell was, I said:
00:05:24.22\00:05:26.19
"When Rome received its
deadly wound in 1798... "
00:05:26.29\00:05:28.59
This was 15 minutes
later... "America was coming up.
00:05:28.69\00:05:31.99
1776 Declaration of Inde-
pendence; 1781 Bill of Rights.
00:05:32.39\00:05:35.93
And by 1929 when Musollini
gave the Vatican City to Rome
00:05:36.23\00:05:39.50
it was the
roaring 20's in America...
00:05:39.70\00:05:42.80
the industrial revolution.
00:05:43.00\00:05:44.34
So this Protestant and
Republican government was
00:05:44.37\00:05:46.74
firmly established. And
32 years after 1929 when
00:05:46.84\00:05:50.75
Kennedy became the first
president that was Catholic
00:05:50.95\00:05:53.65
this nation was
terrified about Catholicism.
00:05:53.85\00:05:55.75
That was just 1961-1963.
00:05:56.15\00:05:59.82
So Rome's impact from 1929
to now has been nothing short of
00:06:00.12\00:06:04.39
tremendous. But why?
00:06:04.59\00:06:06.53
This is the only... this
is the last battalion on earth
00:06:06.73\00:06:09.66
where Protestantism
and Republicanism exist.
00:06:10.07\00:06:13.57
And so when they
announced him they said:
00:06:14.07\00:06:16.81
"Ladies and
gentlemen: the holy See. "
00:06:17.11\00:06:20.98
And I went back
to that statement
00:06:21.28\00:06:22.98
"He had eyes like
the eyes of a man... "
00:06:23.18\00:06:24.98
I'm not going to say
anything more tonight.
00:06:25.18\00:06:27.18
But it's amazing:
everywhere he went
00:06:27.52\00:06:29.18
people couldn't breathe.
They were filled with anxiety.
00:06:29.28\00:06:33.59
Everything he said was
like... like God himself spoke.
00:06:33.99\00:06:37.96
That tells you that
people around the world are
00:06:38.26\00:06:41.76
looking for something - yes
- and that's why we have to be
00:06:41.86\00:06:44.33
a beacon of light when
we're here to show them truth.
00:06:44.43\00:06:46.60
Mollie Sue, isn't this an
exciting time? Step up here
00:06:46.70\00:06:48.50
a little closer. Is this
an exciting time to be alive?
00:06:48.60\00:06:50.91
Yes it is. I was shopping today
00:06:51.11\00:06:53.78
and in the store a lady...
00:06:53.98\00:06:57.31
a very wealth... she looked
like she was very wealthy,
00:06:57.51\00:07:00.85
dressed very well...
she was on the cell phone
00:07:01.05\00:07:03.85
to her friend and she
was talking about the Pope...
00:07:04.05\00:07:07.06
how wonderful it was to
have him in the United States,
00:07:07.46\00:07:09.99
how wonderful it was that
he was speaking to the leaders
00:07:10.19\00:07:13.66
of the nation.
And I was just amazed
00:07:13.86\00:07:16.60
at someone just
randomly in a store
00:07:16.90\00:07:20.14
just lauding the Pope. And
I wanted to stop and ask her
00:07:20.34\00:07:23.81
if she was Catholic, but I
didn't have that opportunity.
00:07:24.01\00:07:27.11
But it's true that his
visit here, Danny, has made
00:07:27.51\00:07:32.31
an incredible impact.
And we KNOW that this is...
00:07:32.41\00:07:35.95
it's signs. And again, I
asked you this last night:
00:07:36.15\00:07:39.09
how many of you
want the Lord to return?
00:07:39.19\00:07:41.36
Amen! Don't we know
that all this is, Danny,
00:07:41.66\00:07:44.93
it's just signs of the
fact that we really are in the
00:07:45.13\00:07:49.06
closing moments
of earth's history.
00:07:49.16\00:07:51.40
What an incredible
time to be alive! Amen!
00:07:51.80\00:07:54.40
And even people who
aren't Christians know it.
00:07:54.70\00:07:57.64
You know, people who aren't even
Christians know that there's
00:07:58.04\00:08:00.68
something different going on...
there's something stirring.
00:08:00.78\00:08:04.25
And to me it's like
when I was listening to
00:08:04.65\00:08:07.72
some of the
newscasters and they were saying
00:08:07.92\00:08:11.05
how some of the
Senators were tearing up
00:08:11.25\00:08:14.36
with what the Pope was saying
and they're just so emotional
00:08:14.56\00:08:17.76
about the Pope
and what he's saying.
00:08:17.86\00:08:20.00
And so many
references and comparisons
00:08:20.20\00:08:23.13
between the Pope
and Jesus Christ.
00:08:23.33\00:08:25.40
And I'm thinking:
"Wow! This is... We... If we
00:08:25.83\00:08:30.34
didn't think that
we're at the end of time
00:08:30.54\00:08:33.98
we'd better check our
pulse if we don't think we are
00:08:34.18\00:08:37.18
because this is... we
are truly, truly in the end.
00:08:37.51\00:08:41.42
All these prophecies
are coming to pass now
00:08:41.58\00:08:44.15
and we don't have
time to waste. Amen!
00:08:44.45\00:08:46.79
We just don't
have time. Absolutely.
00:08:47.09\00:08:48.72
You're going to be
singing a song in just a moment.
00:08:49.02\00:08:51.09
Yes. And tell us about the song.
00:08:51.39\00:08:52.83
Oh, this song is
my testimony song.
00:08:53.33\00:08:56.80
I sang it years ago on...
actually on the only other
00:08:58.27\00:09:02.24
project that I've recorded.
I'm still working on one here -
00:09:02.44\00:09:05.67
praise the Lord - and hope to
get it finished within the next
00:09:05.91\00:09:08.74
year or so. But this song
for me has so much significance
00:09:08.84\00:09:13.85
because it kind of
signifies our walk with Christ.
00:09:14.05\00:09:17.45
And as you listen to the words
00:09:17.65\00:09:19.29
hopefully you will be
able to identify with it, too,
00:09:19.49\00:09:22.96
because it just talks about -
it speaks of - the love of God
00:09:23.16\00:09:27.60
and how we are
just... we can be amazed
00:09:27.66\00:09:30.57
at what He's done for us. Amen!
00:09:30.77\00:09:32.70
OK. For those of you at
home, we've got more music.
00:09:32.90\00:09:35.30
I think Reggie and
Ladye Love are here.
00:09:35.50\00:09:37.11
I think Tammy is here,
and who else? We may have
00:09:37.41\00:09:40.38
some other singers.
Pastor John, you're back.
00:09:40.58\00:09:42.24
You're going to sing.
Then we've got some testimonies
00:09:42.44\00:09:44.78
and it's going to be
great. We've got Jay Christian,
00:09:44.98\00:09:46.85
Johnny Dinzey, and it's
just an hour to praise the Lord
00:09:47.05\00:09:50.72
and give Him honor and
glory for all the great things
00:09:50.92\00:09:53.56
He has done. Amen. Then
after that we're going to
00:09:53.79\00:09:56.09
be blessed by Elder John Carter
00:09:56.29\00:09:58.73
as he brings us literally
the word of life this evening.
00:09:58.93\00:10:01.63
I look forward to it, don't you?
00:10:01.73\00:10:03.16
All right. Miss Yvonne,
would you sing for us please?
00:10:03.47\00:10:05.90
To us. Amen.
00:10:06.10\00:10:07.44
I'm amazed
00:10:09.80\00:10:12.77
each time I think
00:10:12.97\00:10:18.01
that You would love me
00:10:18.41\00:10:24.39
and You made Yourself
00:10:25.95\00:10:29.99
a willing...
00:10:30.29\00:10:32.86
such a willing sacrifice.
00:10:33.76\00:10:37.40
Yes.
00:10:37.60\00:10:40.90
'Cause all I've ever done
00:10:41.74\00:10:47.18
is cause You pain
00:10:47.38\00:10:51.55
and so much sorrow.
00:10:51.85\00:10:57.62
When I think of what You've done
00:10:58.02\00:11:02.89
well I'm amazed.
00:11:03.49\00:11:09.46
I'm amazed to know
00:11:14.17\00:11:17.57
that soon
00:11:17.81\00:11:21.68
my Jesus is coming back for me
00:11:21.88\00:11:27.88
with a robe of light -
00:11:28.18\00:11:32.95
oh, yes - and a life that
00:11:33.15\00:11:36.86
never, never,
never, never, never ends.
00:11:37.06\00:11:42.60
It never ends.
00:11:42.90\00:11:46.17
'Cause all I've ever done
00:11:46.47\00:11:52.31
is go astray
00:11:52.61\00:11:55.71
when You said: "Follow. "
00:11:56.01\00:12:01.95
When I think of what's to come
00:12:02.35\00:12:07.62
yes, yes, yes
00:12:08.42\00:12:13.40
I'm amazed.
00:12:13.60\00:12:16.77
Now I've often asked
00:12:17.90\00:12:20.50
"What kind of love is this? "
00:12:20.70\00:12:25.17
'cause I just...
00:12:25.27\00:12:27.71
I just don't understand
00:12:27.94\00:12:32.51
why my Savior left
00:12:32.81\00:12:37.19
His glory
00:12:37.49\00:12:41.96
to die
00:12:42.26\00:12:44.96
for sinful man
00:12:45.36\00:12:50.00
when all
00:12:50.30\00:12:53.00
I've ever done
00:12:53.20\00:12:57.37
is go astray. Oh Lord,
00:12:57.67\00:13:01.78
when You said: "Follow. "
00:13:01.98\00:13:06.82
When I think of what You've done
00:13:07.12\00:13:12.79
well I'm amazed...
00:13:13.09\00:13:19.09
when I think of what
00:13:23.06\00:13:26.33
You've done
00:13:26.43\00:13:29.00
yes, I'm amazed.
00:13:29.30\00:13:33.21
I'm so amazed.
00:13:33.51\00:13:39.18
How could You?
How could You show
00:13:39.68\00:13:43.15
such love?
00:13:43.35\00:13:49.32
Well
00:13:58.47\00:14:00.10
I'm amazed.
00:14:01.04\00:14:03.97
I'm so amazed.
00:14:04.47\00:14:09.64
I'm so... so
00:14:18.85\00:14:23.53
amazed.
00:14:23.73\00:14:27.66
Amen!
00:14:28.70\00:14:31.07
Amen! There's a
spirit at this Camp Meeting,
00:14:34.20\00:14:39.91
isn't there? Can you feel it?
00:14:40.11\00:14:42.68
Amen! I can sure feel
it... I'll tell you that!
00:14:42.88\00:14:45.48
For those of you
who don't know me,
00:14:46.61\00:14:48.98
my name is Jay Christian.
00:14:49.18\00:14:50.65
I'm the general manager
of the 3ABN Radio Network
00:14:51.32\00:14:55.36
and I've been here for 16 years.
00:14:56.22\00:15:00.90
And I have to tell you
that I am more excited today
00:15:02.16\00:15:05.73
than I have been at
any time prior to this
00:15:06.53\00:15:09.97
and the reason is:
so much is happening.
00:15:11.21\00:15:13.94
We here can feel it
00:15:14.44\00:15:16.85
and I know you
can feel it as well.
00:15:17.35\00:15:19.01
And those people watching
on TV and listening on radio
00:15:19.21\00:15:22.58
I pray that you
can feel it as well
00:15:22.78\00:15:24.75
because it's an incredible time.
00:15:25.09\00:15:28.19
I'm happy to tell you some
of the things that are going on
00:15:28.69\00:15:31.13
at the 3ABN Radio Network and
I will pass those along to you.
00:15:31.33\00:15:36.10
But I just want to
make sure that you know
00:15:36.23\00:15:38.70
our hearts... and our
hearts are in this 100%.
00:15:38.90\00:15:43.00
We're ready to
give that certain sound
00:15:43.61\00:15:47.01
and we ask that
you work along with us.
00:15:47.51\00:15:50.35
A couple of
things... First, we sometimes
00:15:51.08\00:15:56.85
count up our affiliates,
and the latest count has us
00:15:57.05\00:16:01.19
in the
neighborhood of 260 affiliates.
00:16:01.39\00:16:03.83
Amen! Praise God? Amen!
00:16:04.13\00:16:05.79
And that's worldwide.
00:16:06.09\00:16:07.63
We have just signed
recently about 15 affiliates
00:16:08.40\00:16:13.17
and I would like to say hello
00:16:13.37\00:16:15.20
and let the people who are
listening and watching know
00:16:15.30\00:16:18.27
in case there's one close to
them they can listen to that.
00:16:18.47\00:16:23.35
But there is a full power
station in Wisconsin Rapids, WI,
00:16:23.75\00:16:29.18
and they have just... I
understand they have just
00:16:29.58\00:16:33.42
gone on the air or are
getting ready to go on the air.
00:16:33.62\00:16:35.82
We're not sure exactly
where they are in the process
00:16:36.02\00:16:37.79
but they are very
close if they are not on.
00:16:37.99\00:16:39.76
Now listen to this: in Wisconsin
00:16:40.16\00:16:42.23
there has not been a
construction permit awarded
00:16:43.20\00:16:46.84
for 25 years for
a full power station
00:16:46.94\00:16:50.01
in all of Wisconsin.
00:16:50.41\00:16:52.57
There were 38 people
trying for this frequency.
00:16:53.48\00:16:57.98
Guess who got it? Amen! Amen.
00:16:59.18\00:17:03.32
And so... That's right: Jesus.
That is right. So they've been
00:17:04.29\00:17:08.59
working on this
since the year 2007
00:17:08.72\00:17:11.73
and they're about
ready to go on the air.
00:17:11.93\00:17:13.56
And if you get the World
magazine, they're featured in
00:17:14.06\00:17:16.87
the December
issue. It is quite a story
00:17:16.97\00:17:21.04
and I encourage you to read it.
00:17:21.24\00:17:22.64
Other stations? In
Coudersport, Pennsylvania;
00:17:23.54\00:17:27.14
Billings,
Montana; Hobbs, New Mexico;
00:17:27.34\00:17:30.28
Jellico, Tennessee.
00:17:30.68\00:17:32.01
Now if you live in this town
00:17:32.55\00:17:37.65
that I'm going to
mention you call it one name.
00:17:37.85\00:17:40.66
If you don't live in this town
- say you live someplace outside
00:17:41.06\00:17:44.46
of Tennessee -
you'll call it another name.
00:17:44.56\00:17:46.63
Some of you are smiling.
I think you know which one
00:17:47.13\00:17:49.66
I'm going to talk about.
00:17:49.76\00:17:51.10
There's a town that
those of us outside Tennessee
00:17:51.23\00:17:54.44
would call Ooltewah
00:17:54.64\00:17:57.04
but people inside
call it "Ootilwah. "
00:17:57.44\00:18:00.91
So welcome to
"Ootilwah" as well.
00:18:02.14\00:18:05.11
Waterloo,
Wisconsin; Roundup, Montana;
00:18:05.31\00:18:07.45
Lewistown,
Montana; Clovis, New Mexico;
00:18:07.75\00:18:10.69
Lexington,
Kentucky; and Dixfield, Maine.
00:18:10.99\00:18:14.16
Glad to have you with us.
As well, there are 3 stations,
00:18:14.46\00:18:17.59
low-power
stations, in Australia.
00:18:17.79\00:18:19.43
Narembeen - Andrews
Hill, and all of these are in
00:18:20.40\00:18:23.26
West Australia,
Narembeen - Cheatam Way
00:18:23.47\00:18:27.10
and Narembeen - Hyden. And
again all in Western Australia.
00:18:27.30\00:18:31.34
We are also waiting - and
pray with us if you would...
00:18:31.74\00:18:34.94
There are about 15 affiliates
- potential affiliates,
00:18:35.14\00:18:38.41
I'll use that word.
We've been talking with them
00:18:38.61\00:18:41.32
and they have not committed yet.
00:18:41.72\00:18:45.29
We pray that they will
00:18:45.49\00:18:47.06
because, again,
we want to be able to
00:18:47.36\00:18:50.96
give that certain sound
to the world at this time
00:18:51.16\00:18:54.83
right now that it so necessary.
00:18:55.03\00:18:57.80
And as always we're
focusing on programming.
00:18:58.43\00:19:01.04
We had recently started a
program, and if you've listened
00:19:01.44\00:19:05.27
you probably have heard it.
It's called Critically Speaking.
00:19:05.47\00:19:08.24
Now I know this
doesn't apply to your church
00:19:08.44\00:19:11.58
but there are many churches
that have people that have
00:19:13.11\00:19:18.05
a critical spirit. And so
a gentleman by the name of
00:19:18.15\00:19:22.66
Jim Hammer, and he's at our
affiliate in Arcade, New York,
00:19:22.76\00:19:26.56
wrote a couple of books
about his experiences with
00:19:26.86\00:19:29.80
a critical spirit. And it
starts with his critical spirit
00:19:30.00\00:19:34.20
and then it goes on and
talks about how he got out
00:19:34.50\00:19:38.01
of it and stories that other
people were helped and so forth.
00:19:38.21\00:19:42.08
The critical spirit is a killer.
00:19:42.41\00:19:44.31
It really is. It kills
churches; it kills people.
00:19:44.71\00:19:46.92
And it's a tremendous series
that we're airing on 3ABN Radio
00:19:47.78\00:19:51.65
now. People have bought
the book and now we have people
00:19:51.75\00:19:54.79
contacting us actually asking
for copies - CD copies - of
00:19:54.99\00:19:58.99
the program as well. And
of course, it's not for them.
00:19:59.19\00:20:02.26
They know somebody... right?
00:20:03.26\00:20:05.50
"I have a friend
that really needs this...
00:20:06.20\00:20:08.80
would you send me two? "
00:20:09.00\00:20:10.47
But it has been well received
by listeners, and we praise God
00:20:12.21\00:20:14.98
for that. We are in the planning
stage of a new health program.
00:20:15.08\00:20:19.88
Natural remedies
are very important.
00:20:20.28\00:20:23.15
Now there are some people that
don't like to go to doctors.
00:20:23.45\00:20:28.19
Other people don't
mind going to doctors.
00:20:28.29\00:20:30.56
I'm sort of in the middle.
00:20:30.96\00:20:32.59
I would rather start
with a natural remedy first,
00:20:32.89\00:20:37.10
and if that's not working
then I will take the next step.
00:20:37.60\00:20:41.50
Well, there are a
lot of people like that
00:20:41.90\00:20:43.77
and there's a need
for natural remedies
00:20:44.11\00:20:46.88
so we'll put them on.
00:20:47.08\00:20:48.41
We are in the planning
process of this now, so
00:20:48.81\00:20:51.95
we are talking with
someone about hosting it
00:20:52.15\00:20:54.18
and hopefully before too long
next year we'll be on the air.
00:20:54.38\00:20:57.82
We also from time to time
review some of the TV programs
00:20:58.59\00:21:01.79
that we want to put on radio.
00:21:01.99\00:21:04.13
We are always looking for great
programs that translate into
00:21:04.53\00:21:08.16
the listening audience. And
we all know that the listening
00:21:08.36\00:21:11.27
audience is
different than the TV audience.
00:21:11.37\00:21:13.40
And so we're
looking at those as well.
00:21:13.80\00:21:16.34
And so hopefully we'll have some
more new programs on for you
00:21:16.74\00:21:19.37
in the near future.
00:21:19.57\00:21:20.91
It's always wonderful hearing
from people who listen to us.
00:21:21.71\00:21:26.65
We got an e-mail from
someone who says: "I listen to
00:21:27.05\00:21:30.42
3ABN Radio and
watch TV on my phone
00:21:30.52\00:21:34.46
from Brazil. "
00:21:34.86\00:21:36.76
Praise God! She
says: "I love it, guys.
00:21:37.76\00:21:40.93
Thanks for the great
things you bring to my life
00:21:41.13\00:21:43.50
by the Holy Spirit. "
00:21:43.80\00:21:45.77
And you know, it's incredible
when we hear things like this!
00:21:46.84\00:21:50.24
I get e-mails... I do a
one-hour music program daily...
00:21:50.27\00:21:54.38
Musical Meditations.
I hear from listeners.
00:21:54.58\00:21:56.98
We hear from people who
have been blessed by programs
00:21:58.01\00:22:00.98
that we carry. And we
can't do this without you.
00:22:01.18\00:22:04.39
We desperately need you...
we need your help, especially
00:22:05.15\00:22:08.22
at this time. We are
giving a certain sound.
00:22:08.32\00:22:12.49
And I'm leaning
on that phrase a lot.
00:22:13.50\00:22:15.23
You understand what I'm
saying. We're telling the world
00:22:15.33\00:22:17.70
the truth. People driving down
the road turning on their radios
00:22:17.90\00:22:22.07
have truth told to them.
00:22:22.40\00:22:25.47
And so we ask for your prayers
and we ask for your financial
00:22:25.77\00:22:28.88
support as well.
We thank you so much
00:22:29.08\00:22:31.71
for all that you do for us,
and please, continue to join us
00:22:31.91\00:22:35.48
and be with us. Amen!
00:22:35.68\00:22:38.25
Thank you, Jay, You know, today
on the radio I was listening
00:22:43.19\00:22:46.63
as I was in the car.
And a thought came to me
00:22:46.73\00:22:50.03
that helped me decide
what song to sing tonight.
00:22:50.23\00:22:52.57
The gentleman said: "What
would you do for your neighbor
00:22:55.84\00:22:59.01
if his son had to
die to save your life?
00:23:00.84\00:23:04.25
What would you do
for your neighbor?
00:23:04.75\00:23:07.62
Would it be too much for him
to ask you to tell other people
00:23:08.12\00:23:13.05
that his son died
so that you might live
00:23:13.25\00:23:16.66
if your neighbor's son had
to die to save your life? "
00:23:16.96\00:23:20.06
And he said: "If it's not too
much for your neighbor to ask,
00:23:21.06\00:23:25.73
why does it seem so much
for the Lord to ask us to tell
00:23:27.27\00:23:30.31
the world that
His Son died for us? "
00:23:30.41\00:23:33.11
And so as you listen to
the words of this song -
00:23:33.51\00:23:35.34
it's called Much
Too High A Price -
00:23:35.54\00:23:38.11
think of the price that
Jesus paid to save our lives
00:23:38.41\00:23:41.98
and ask yourself the
question: "What's stopping me
00:23:42.28\00:23:45.82
from telling other people
about the price that Jesus paid
00:23:46.22\00:23:49.82
to save us? "
00:23:50.06\00:23:51.46
Your love endured the cross...
00:24:24.86\00:24:29.90
despising all the shame.
00:24:32.00\00:24:36.74
That afternoon
when midnight fell
00:24:38.14\00:24:43.55
Your suffering cleared my name.
00:24:44.05\00:24:50.02
And that sin-swept hill
00:24:51.15\00:24:54.72
became the open door
00:24:54.92\00:24:59.89
to paradise because
00:25:00.10\00:25:04.43
You paid
00:25:04.93\00:25:07.90
much too high a price.
00:25:08.30\00:25:14.24
You paid much
00:25:17.95\00:25:21.72
too high a price for me:
00:25:22.02\00:25:26.52
Your tears, Your blood, the pain
00:25:26.92\00:25:32.16
to have my soul
get stirred at times
00:25:33.43\00:25:39.40
yet never truly changed.
00:25:39.60\00:25:45.34
You deserve a fiery love
00:25:45.94\00:25:51.21
that won't ignore Your sacrifice
00:25:51.31\00:25:57.25
because You paid
00:25:57.45\00:26:01.42
much too high a
00:26:02.19\00:26:06.46
price.
00:26:06.66\00:26:10.00
Your grace inspires my heart
00:26:20.21\00:26:25.61
to rise above the sin
00:26:27.52\00:26:32.59
and all the earthly vanities
00:26:33.42\00:26:39.29
that seek to draw me in.
00:26:39.59\00:26:45.37
I want to tell this
00:26:45.67\00:26:48.47
tainted world of a love
00:26:48.57\00:26:52.27
that truly saved my life:
00:26:52.67\00:26:58.65
a love that paid
00:27:00.55\00:27:05.29
so high a price.
00:27:05.59\00:27:11.56
You paid much
00:27:14.20\00:27:17.07
too high
00:27:17.37\00:27:20.50
a price for me
00:27:20.60\00:27:23.54
with Your tears,
Your blood, all the pain
00:27:23.84\00:27:29.81
to have my soul
00:27:30.21\00:27:33.38
get stirred at times
00:27:33.62\00:27:36.02
yet never
00:27:36.32\00:27:38.12
truly changed.
00:27:38.22\00:27:43.22
You deserve a fiery love
00:27:44.76\00:27:49.56
that won't ignore Your
00:27:49.86\00:27:53.44
sacrifice
00:27:53.74\00:27:57.81
because You paid
00:27:58.37\00:28:04.01
much too high
00:28:04.31\00:28:07.22
a price...
00:28:07.42\00:28:11.89
because
00:28:12.82\00:28:15.79
You paid
00:28:16.19\00:28:19.26
much too high
00:28:19.66\00:28:24.47
a price.
00:28:25.27\00:28:31.21
Amen!
00:28:41.45\00:28:43.52
Amen! Praise the Lord!
00:28:44.12\00:28:45.99
I want to begin
by saying that I am
00:28:48.19\00:28:51.96
very grateful to the Lord
to be a part of this ministry -
00:28:52.16\00:28:54.73
3ABN - and for the privilege
to work with 3ABN Latino.
00:28:55.23\00:29:00.50
And we do have
a wonderful staff.
00:29:01.27\00:29:03.47
My lovely wife Idalia,
administrative assistant
00:29:03.77\00:29:07.58
and producer for
the 3ABN Hoy! program
00:29:07.78\00:29:12.18
and editor for
our Hoy! magazine.
00:29:12.48\00:29:14.45
And we want to praise
the Lord for Jorge Jaque, our
00:29:14.85\00:29:18.02
manager... production
manager for 3ABN Latino.
00:29:18.22\00:29:21.36
And we thank Sr. Lynette
for being so patient and kind
00:29:21.49\00:29:25.03
in letting him travel... along
with the rest of his family.
00:29:25.13\00:29:28.93
We praise the Lord for Sr. Irma
Murray, Pastor Murray's wife,
00:29:29.23\00:29:32.43
that also leads out in
our marketing department.
00:29:32.83\00:29:37.84
And we also have Sr.
Rocio Barrón that works
00:29:38.71\00:29:41.91
in our Call Center. We have...
trying to remember everyone...
00:29:42.11\00:29:48.05
We have Luis Capote that recent-
joined our editing staff.
00:29:48.35\00:29:51.92
John Ramirez, fresh off the
oven, coming in to our editing
00:29:52.32\00:29:57.19
staff. And we want to thank
our chief editor Alex Sanchez
00:29:57.39\00:30:02.53
that prepared a video
that you're about to see
00:30:02.93\00:30:06.47
in a moment. And did I mention
Sr. Rocio Barrón works in
00:30:06.67\00:30:11.04
our Call Center? And we just
praise the Lord for each and
00:30:11.24\00:30:13.74
every one. But that's not the
whole of our department because
00:30:13.84\00:30:15.98
all... I'm sorry. Did
I call it a department?
00:30:16.18\00:30:18.91
It's a network. All
of the other departments
00:30:19.01\00:30:23.79
all the
departments help 3ABN Latino
00:30:23.89\00:30:26.09
march along and keep growing
and we praise the Lord for it.
00:30:26.29\00:30:30.73
We'd like to share a
video with you that shows you
00:30:31.03\00:30:32.86
a little bit of what God
is doing through 3ABN Latino.
00:30:32.96\00:30:35.20
And this you will see right now.
00:30:35.30\00:30:36.97
In order to bring
the everlasting gospel
00:30:52.61\00:30:54.88
to over 600 million people that
speak Spanish and Portuguese
00:30:55.08\00:30:59.15
3ABN stepped out in faith
00:30:59.35\00:31:02.72
to launch 3ABN Latino.
00:31:02.92\00:31:05.69
Since its launch in August 2003
00:31:06.09\00:31:08.83
God has blessed in a mighty way.
00:31:09.03\00:31:11.10
Today 3ABN Latino can be viewed
00:31:11.50\00:31:14.27
on over 1,200 cable companies
00:31:14.37\00:31:17.17
in North,
Central, and South America.
00:31:17.37\00:31:20.18
That's a gain of at least
100 cable affiliates per year!
00:31:20.38\00:31:24.85
3ABN Latino can be viewed on
over 100 free to air channels
00:31:25.25\00:31:30.02
in the US and Puerto Rico.
People from all over the world
00:31:30.22\00:31:33.96
are watching 3ABN Latino via
the Internet, on android phones,
00:31:34.16\00:31:38.89
iPhones, tablets, Roku,
and other streaming servers.
00:31:39.03\00:31:43.50
Here's a sample of what's
been going on on 3ABN Latino.
00:31:43.80\00:31:48.40
So what happens when
people watch 3ABN Latino?
00:33:16.49\00:33:19.29
Lives are transformed...
and it happens every day.
00:33:19.79\00:33:24.30
Praise the Lord! God is
doing great and mighty things.
00:33:24.50\00:33:28.17
In 2015 celebrating
its 12th anniversary
00:33:28.37\00:33:31.87
3ABN Latino is
00:33:32.07\00:33:33.68
Praise the Lord! We also
would like to mention that
00:33:39.51\00:33:43.05
we are blessed to
have Sr. Sonia Rodriguez
00:33:43.25\00:33:45.65
along with her
husband Dr. Senez Rodriguez.
00:33:45.85\00:33:48.26
He works in the pastoral
department and Sr. Sonia works
00:33:48.46\00:33:52.26
in coordinating our production.
00:33:52.46\00:33:55.33
And God is doing
great and mighty things.
00:33:55.53\00:33:57.17
You know, we are amazed at
how sometimes cable companies
00:33:57.37\00:34:02.44
contact us to say: "We
want to have your channel
00:34:02.64\00:34:05.67
on our cable network.
What do we need to do? "
00:34:05.87\00:34:08.54
So we praise the Lord
that God is doing these things.
00:34:08.94\00:34:11.85
And you know, it's interesting
to know that sometimes these
00:34:12.25\00:34:15.48
cable executives are
touched by the Holy Spirit
00:34:15.68\00:34:18.19
to watch the programming. And
I have heard some of them say:
00:34:18.39\00:34:22.46
"You have very good
quality programming. "
00:34:22.86\00:34:25.49
And one of them said to
me: "I only watch two channels:
00:34:25.89\00:34:29.40
the news channel
and your channel. "
00:34:29.80\00:34:32.60
And I say praise the Lord!
00:34:32.80\00:34:34.17
As a matter of fact, one of the
cable executives was baptized
00:34:34.37\00:34:37.91
in Colombia. And we
say: "Praise the Lord! "
00:34:38.11\00:34:41.24
Isn't that
wonderful? As a matter of fact,
00:34:41.74\00:34:44.35
about a year
after she was baptized
00:34:44.75\00:34:46.85
she sent a list of
other cable networks
00:34:47.05\00:34:50.95
that are going to
be joining 3ABN Latino.
00:34:51.15\00:34:53.59
And the Lord is
using her in a mighty way.
00:34:53.99\00:34:56.42
We saw her become
baptized so we KNOW it happened!
00:34:56.73\00:34:59.76
So we praise the Lord for that.
00:34:59.96\00:35:01.36
As a matter of fact, we are
praising the Lord. We just came
00:35:01.56\00:35:04.77
from Guatemala - my wife
and I - and we saw some people
00:35:04.97\00:35:07.64
that have been baptized as a
result of watching 3ABN Latino.
00:35:07.84\00:35:12.01
Over 1,200 cable companies,
00:35:12.31\00:35:14.74
over 100 television stations
broadcasting 3ABN Latino...
00:35:14.94\00:35:18.61
and the Lord is not done yet.
00:35:18.81\00:35:20.62
We need to reach more
people for Jesus Christ
00:35:20.82\00:35:22.62
such as this man. His name
is Jose... I'm sorry: Johnny.
00:35:22.82\00:35:25.65
And he... when he
first wrote to us he said:
00:35:26.05\00:35:30.13
"For over 28 years
00:35:30.53\00:35:34.70
I preached against the
Seventh-day Adventist church
00:35:34.90\00:35:38.07
and many times
against Ellen G. White,
00:35:38.27\00:35:41.04
and this will be my fourth
Sabbath that I am a SDA. "
00:35:41.64\00:35:46.71
So we praise the Lord for that.
00:35:47.11\00:35:48.68
As a matter of fact, he said
that he first started watching
00:35:49.08\00:35:51.61
by accident. He found it
and then he said that he was
00:35:51.81\00:35:55.18
upset when he found out it
was a Seventh-day Adventist.
00:35:55.38\00:35:57.85
So he said: "I'm going to
keep watching to see what else
00:35:58.25\00:36:00.56
I can learn about them
so I can attack them. "
00:36:00.76\00:36:03.22
BUT the first speaker he
saw was Pastor Steven Bohr.
00:36:03.43\00:36:06.66
He said: "Wow!
That's an interesting topic
00:36:06.86\00:36:09.10
he was preaching. " He
decided to start recording.
00:36:09.30\00:36:12.10
He recorded 67 DVDs six
hours each, and he said:
00:36:12.40\00:36:17.64
"I diligently
studied these things. "
00:36:17.84\00:36:19.71
And 67 CDs... 6 hours each.
00:36:19.91\00:36:23.71
Imagine all
those CDs. Do the math.
00:36:23.91\00:36:25.78
And he said that
after doing all of that
00:36:26.08\00:36:28.32
he decided "I
had very little truth
00:36:28.52\00:36:31.42
and much error so I
decided I should become a SDA. "
00:36:31.62\00:36:34.92
And we praise the Lord for that.
00:36:35.12\00:36:36.46
Thank you. Please
continue to pray for us.
00:36:36.49\00:36:38.13
My time is up. Amen!
00:36:38.33\00:36:41.16
A song that we sang
on the Pillars of Faith
00:36:47.27\00:36:49.64
was I Have Fixed My Mind.
And you heard a little bit
00:36:50.14\00:36:52.77
of the Chilean group there that
I was afforded the opportunity
00:36:52.97\00:36:56.21
at GC to meet. A wonderful
wonderful group of kids,
00:36:56.41\00:37:00.52
and they did the Spanish version
00:37:00.72\00:37:02.05
that was absolutely
just beautiful beautiful.
00:37:02.25\00:37:04.75
And we wanted to do this
for you tonight... in English!
00:37:04.95\00:37:07.79
I have fixed my mind
00:37:23.97\00:37:26.44
on another time,
00:37:27.58\00:37:29.81
on another time.
00:37:30.21\00:37:35.18
And here I mean
00:37:37.52\00:37:40.99
to stand until God gives me
00:37:41.29\00:37:47.23
more light.
00:37:47.43\00:37:49.60
And that is today,
00:37:51.60\00:37:55.84
today,
00:37:56.04\00:37:57.37
today until He comes.
00:37:58.24\00:38:03.45
I have fixed my mind
00:38:05.01\00:38:08.28
on another time...
00:38:08.48\00:38:11.15
on another
00:38:11.55\00:38:15.79
time.
00:38:16.19\00:38:19.73
I have set my course
00:38:21.80\00:38:24.70
on the narrow way,
00:38:24.90\00:38:27.80
on the narrow way.
00:38:28.20\00:38:33.27
For I know the time
00:38:34.28\00:38:37.41
is close at hand
00:38:37.61\00:38:40.58
for which I watch and I pray.
00:38:40.98\00:38:46.96
And that is today, today,
00:38:48.56\00:38:53.76
today until He comes.
00:38:55.00\00:39:00.34
I have set my course
00:39:01.77\00:39:04.17
on the narrow way...
00:39:04.37\00:39:07.21
on the narrow
00:39:07.41\00:39:11.51
way.
00:39:11.91\00:39:15.38
Even so, Lord, come quickly,
00:39:15.65\00:39:20.62
this is my fervent prayer.
00:39:20.99\00:39:26.93
For I've caught a glimpse
00:39:27.33\00:39:30.97
of glory and I'm longing
00:39:31.27\00:39:36.54
to be there.
00:39:36.94\00:39:42.01
When shall the Son of Man
00:39:54.42\00:39:59.66
appear?
00:39:59.86\00:40:01.23
The trumpet sound its blast?
00:40:01.43\00:40:06.57
And Christ descend
00:40:06.97\00:40:10.97
in glorious fire
00:40:11.17\00:40:13.98
with all the saints amassed?
00:40:14.18\00:40:18.98
We'll rise with those
00:40:19.18\00:40:23.49
who sleep no more
00:40:23.69\00:40:26.65
to meet Him in the air.
00:40:27.42\00:40:33.09
When shall the Son
00:40:33.50\00:40:36.26
of Man appear...
00:40:37.87\00:40:43.64
the Son of Man appear?
00:40:44.51\00:40:49.74
Even so, Lord, come quickly,
00:40:51.78\00:40:56.99
this is my fervent prayer.
00:40:57.79\00:41:03.26
For I've caught a glimpse
00:41:03.66\00:41:07.40
of glory and I'm longing
00:41:07.66\00:41:13.17
to be there...
00:41:13.37\00:41:17.24
For I've caught a glimpse
00:41:17.44\00:41:21.01
of glory
00:41:21.84\00:41:27.28
and I'm longing
00:41:28.92\00:41:32.79
to
00:41:32.99\00:41:36.79
be there.
00:41:38.86\00:41:41.10
I have fixed my mind
00:41:44.47\00:41:47.07
on another time...
00:41:48.80\00:41:54.68
on another
00:41:55.88\00:42:00.78
time.
00:42:05.62\00:42:11.59
Amen!
00:42:18.37\00:42:21.10
Thank you, Reggie.
Wasn't that beautiful?
00:42:24.51\00:42:27.34
Reggie's one of
my favorite singers.
00:42:27.84\00:42:30.41
And John Lomacang, two
of my favorite singers.
00:42:30.61\00:42:33.08
They're a hard act to
follow so I don't even try.
00:42:33.48\00:42:36.95
I just come out
and do the best I can
00:42:37.15\00:42:38.75
and that's it.
00:42:38.95\00:42:41.49
How many of you are
ready to go to heaven and be
00:42:41.89\00:42:45.19
in Jesus' arms? I know I am.
00:42:45.39\00:42:49.30
The name of the song
is Into His Arms of Love.
00:42:49.53\00:42:52.33
When my heart is full of doubt,
00:43:14.82\00:43:19.23
when I'm torn within, without.
00:43:20.36\00:43:24.63
When I've lost my closest friend
00:43:25.57\00:43:29.87
and I'm in the pain and fear.
00:43:30.07\00:43:34.88
When I've taken all I can
00:43:35.68\00:43:40.48
and I lack the
strength to stand,
00:43:41.38\00:43:46.05
when it seems my closest friend
00:43:46.79\00:43:51.03
is the pain of lonely tears.
00:43:51.36\00:43:56.36
Into His arms of love
00:43:59.60\00:44:03.10
I just come runnin'
00:44:03.30\00:44:07.51
knowing that I'll be safe
00:44:10.05\00:44:13.88
from others' harm.
00:44:14.08\00:44:18.42
He lifts me up
and swings me around,
00:44:20.86\00:44:25.89
holds me and says
that I'm safe and sound.
00:44:26.29\00:44:30.80
I don't ever want to leave.
00:44:31.00\00:44:36.04
There'll always be room for me
00:44:36.34\00:44:41.24
in His arms.
00:44:42.34\00:44:47.08
Arms of love and protection;
00:44:51.85\00:44:56.79
arms of strength and direction,
00:44:57.09\00:45:02.16
arms of comfort, peace, and hope
00:45:02.36\00:45:07.07
when the winds of sorrow blow.
00:45:07.97\00:45:13.88
Into His arms of love...
00:45:14.21\00:45:18.08
Into His arms of love
00:45:19.28\00:45:22.72
I just come runnin'
00:45:22.92\00:45:27.32
knowing that I'll be safe
00:45:29.89\00:45:33.60
from others' harm.
00:45:33.80\00:45:38.37
He lifts me up
and swings me around,
00:45:40.57\00:45:45.51
holds me and says
that I'm safe and sound.
00:45:45.91\00:45:50.55
I don't ever want to leave.
00:45:50.75\00:45:56.08
There'll always be room for me.
00:45:56.28\00:46:01.19
He lifts me up
and swings me around,
00:46:01.59\00:46:06.86
holds me and says
that I'm safe and sound.
00:46:07.16\00:46:11.70
I don't ever want to leave.
00:46:11.90\00:46:17.84
I know there'll
always be room for me
00:46:19.44\00:46:25.41
in His arms.
00:46:27.18\00:46:33.15
In His arms.
00:46:38.09\00:46:44.10
Amen!
00:46:46.17\00:46:47.84
Thank you, Tammy.
00:46:48.77\00:46:50.37
Dr. Murray? You
know, what is interesting
00:46:52.87\00:46:56.64
just some weeks ago
Danny was preaching on
00:46:56.85\00:47:00.18
a passage of scripture
00:47:00.38\00:47:01.85
and he happened to
pick Matthew 28:19.
00:47:02.15\00:47:05.75
Anybody know what that says?
00:47:05.95\00:47:07.29
"Go ye therefore... "
Yeah, but before it says that
00:47:07.32\00:47:09.66
it says: "All
power is given to Me. "
00:47:09.86\00:47:12.79
And then some time after
that, independently, I picked
00:47:13.19\00:47:16.50
a scripture... Matthew 28:19.
00:47:16.70\00:47:19.27
OK. "All power... " And then we
were at the General Conference
00:47:19.47\00:47:22.44
just this week meeting with some
General Conference officials
00:47:22.74\00:47:26.31
and Mark Finley picked a
scripture. And what did he pick?
00:47:26.71\00:47:30.01
Same scripture. Yes.
Matthew 28:18, 19, 20. And 20.
00:47:30.21\00:47:34.72
That... That's the word for
this day, brothers and sisters.
00:47:35.02\00:47:38.79
That even in the face of all
of the things that are happening
00:47:38.99\00:47:43.16
Christ said: "All
power is given unto Me. "
00:47:43.76\00:47:48.30
And He said that
before the Great Commission.
00:47:48.50\00:47:50.57
Now Mark said something
that was very interesting
00:47:50.97\00:47:52.60
that I found out:
that that word power there
00:47:52.80\00:47:54.97
is authority. Um-hmm.
But it MEANS that victory
00:47:55.17\00:48:00.08
is guaranteed.
That's right. Amen?
00:48:00.38\00:48:02.58
So that when you go, you
go with the understanding,
00:48:02.98\00:48:05.58
Danny, that
victory is already won.
00:48:05.78\00:48:07.32
So you don't have to go timid;
you don't have to go afraid.
00:48:07.62\00:48:11.25
You don't have to worry about
what's happening in the world
00:48:11.65\00:48:14.06
because victory is guaranteed.
00:48:14.26\00:48:16.22
That's all authority given
to Jesus, and by implication
00:48:16.42\00:48:19.73
it's given to you
when you go in His name.
00:48:19.93\00:48:22.33
That's why the
blessing is on the "GO! "
00:48:22.53\00:48:25.90
Not only is the
blessing on the "GO! " Danny,
00:48:26.30\00:48:29.00
the victory is on the "GO! "
00:48:29.20\00:48:31.54
Absolutely. So when you go, you
don't have to be timid any more.
00:48:31.74\00:48:34.08
You don't have to be afraid.
You don't have to worry about
00:48:34.48\00:48:36.95
losing. As Pastor John
says: 'You don't have to meander
00:48:37.15\00:48:40.35
in a maze of mediocrity. "
00:48:40.55\00:48:41.88
You can be assertive for Jesus
because victory is guaranteed.
00:48:42.15\00:48:46.39
And, my
favorite text: no weapon.
00:48:46.59\00:48:50.23
No, it's formed against
us. That's right. No weapon...
00:48:50.43\00:48:53.40
That's right. formed
against you is going to prosper.
00:48:53.60\00:48:56.43
That's a good promise, isn't it?
00:48:56.83\00:48:58.43
That's the Word of God.
"No weapon, " Isaiah says,
00:48:58.63\00:49:01.17
is going to prosper. "
So victory is guaranteed.
00:49:01.37\00:49:03.47
Old Testament and
New. So you can go boldly
00:49:03.67\00:49:05.87
because God is with you. Amen?
00:49:06.27\00:49:08.24
But you do lose something.
00:49:08.44\00:49:10.58
You lose fear. Yes! Right?
00:49:10.78\00:49:13.35
You lose fear. "All power
is given Me... " All authority
00:49:13.55\00:49:17.09
in heaven and earth.
There's a reason He said it.
00:49:17.29\00:49:20.02
Just like He said
it and WHEN He said it.
00:49:20.32\00:49:22.12
Because if C.A. said
to me or I said to C.A.
00:49:22.32\00:49:24.96
"C.A. go ye into all the world.
00:49:25.16\00:49:27.03
Preach the gospel.
" He's going to say:
00:49:27.23\00:49:28.96
"And how am I
going to do that? "
00:49:29.16\00:49:30.60
And I say: "Well I don't
know. You gonna pay for my trip
00:49:30.80\00:49:33.03
to London? " He's going to
tell me: "You gonna do this?
00:49:33.23\00:49:35.54
You gonna do that for me? "
00:49:35.74\00:49:37.07
Well, I don't
have the resources.
00:49:37.11\00:49:38.44
So Jesus establishes who He is.
00:49:38.61\00:49:41.68
"All authority... all
power is given Me in heaven and
00:49:42.08\00:49:45.25
earth. " Then the very
next words: "Go ye therefore. "
00:49:45.45\00:49:48.12
So what He says is, as
my board member Dr. Thompson
00:49:48.32\00:49:51.55
always says: "God has counted
His resources in advance.
00:49:51.75\00:49:55.52
He's found that
He's not wanting. "
00:49:55.82\00:49:57.43
And so otherwise He wouldn't
tell you go to do something
00:49:57.79\00:50:00.60
that's impossible.
So now we can literally
00:50:00.80\00:50:03.93
go into all the world.
And who would think we'd live
00:50:04.13\00:50:05.97
in such a time, such an age,
that we can get 3ABN on our...
00:50:06.17\00:50:10.87
on our cell phone? Umm. I
mean, to me that's amazing.
00:50:11.07\00:50:14.28
Anywhere in the
world on an iPad,
00:50:14.44\00:50:16.04
on computers. When we started
it was the big 12 ft. dish
00:50:16.24\00:50:19.45
and that was it here in America.
00:50:19.65\00:50:21.18
But look what God has wrought.
00:50:21.38\00:50:22.78
This gospel of the kingdom shall
be preached into all the world
00:50:23.18\00:50:26.52
and THEN the end... or I
like to say the beginning.
00:50:26.72\00:50:29.52
What about you? Amen! Amen!
00:50:29.72\00:50:31.56
We've got a couple minutes left.
We've got another song, right?
00:50:31.76\00:50:34.96
Indeed we do. But
you called them up
00:50:35.16\00:50:37.37
and they didn't have a chance to
practice or get a sound check.
00:50:37.57\00:50:40.10
Do you feel bad about that?
Not at all; not at all. Good!
00:50:40.30\00:50:42.27
All right. I don't either.
00:50:42.47\00:50:43.84
All right. We have
Reggie and Ladye Love Smith.
00:50:44.04\00:50:46.34
You guys around here?
00:50:46.54\00:50:47.88
The joke may be on
me here in a minute.
00:50:48.04\00:50:49.84
Oh here they come. All right.
00:50:50.05\00:50:51.75
Oh here they are. OK. I
knew you guys... I trusted you.
00:50:51.95\00:50:56.15
C.A. doubted you
but I was with you.
00:50:56.35\00:50:59.95
I had your back all the time.
00:51:00.16\00:51:01.49
Reggie is my best
and dearest friend.
00:51:01.59\00:51:03.43
We love you guys, and
we're so glad that you're here.
00:51:03.83\00:51:07.16
What are you going to sing
for us? Well, there's a song
00:51:07.36\00:51:09.03
called Who At My Door?
And Danny, this was a hymn
00:51:09.23\00:51:11.03
written in... Who at
my door is standing? Yeah!
00:51:11.23\00:51:12.67
You know it? I know
it! So if you hear harmony
00:51:12.87\00:51:15.30
you can stay here
and sing it with us.
00:51:15.50\00:51:16.84
No, I won't mess it up.
00:51:16.87\00:51:18.21
God bless you.
Thank you. God bless.
00:51:18.24\00:51:20.08
Who at my door
00:51:44.20\00:51:47.77
is standing?
00:51:47.97\00:51:51.91
Patiently drawing
00:51:53.44\00:51:58.25
near?
00:51:58.45\00:52:00.25
Entrance within
00:52:01.48\00:52:04.69
He is asking.
00:52:05.09\00:52:09.12
Who is the voice
00:52:10.53\00:52:14.10
I hear?
00:52:14.30\00:52:17.60
Sweetly the tones
00:52:18.87\00:52:22.24
are falling:
00:52:22.44\00:52:26.88
"Open the door
00:52:27.28\00:52:30.58
for Me.
00:52:30.78\00:52:35.28
If you will heed
00:52:36.08\00:52:39.32
My calling,
00:52:39.52\00:52:43.46
I will abide
00:52:44.46\00:52:48.03
with thee. "
00:52:48.23\00:52:52.33
Lonely without He is standing;
00:52:57.01\00:53:03.01
lonely within
00:53:05.48\00:53:08.72
am I.
00:53:08.92\00:53:13.19
While I am still
00:53:13.96\00:53:17.86
delaying
00:53:18.06\00:53:21.50
will He not
00:53:22.36\00:53:24.80
pass me by?
00:53:25.00\00:53:30.01
Sweetly the tones
00:53:30.44\00:53:34.08
are falling:
00:53:34.38\00:53:38.58
"Open the door
00:53:38.88\00:53:42.35
for Me.
00:53:42.55\00:53:47.19
If you will heed
00:53:47.59\00:53:51.13
My calling,
00:53:51.33\00:53:55.13
I will abide
00:53:56.10\00:53:59.97
with thee. "
00:54:00.17\00:54:02.57
"I will abide... "
00:54:02.77\00:54:05.24
"I will abide
00:54:05.44\00:54:09.21
with
00:54:10.35\00:54:12.85
thee. "
00:54:13.68\00:54:19.62
Who at my door
00:54:21.72\00:54:25.69
is standing?
00:54:25.99\00:54:32.00
Amen!
00:54:34.57\00:54:36.71
Thank you. Well done.
00:54:39.07\00:54:40.51
Praise the Lord! Well
done! What a beautiful song.
00:54:40.71\00:54:43.45
Let me ask you a question
in these last few moments of
00:54:44.68\00:54:47.35
this particular hour.
How many love the Lord?
00:54:47.55\00:54:49.95
How many REALLY love the Lord?
00:54:52.32\00:54:54.62
How many love the
Lord more than anything?
00:54:56.42\00:54:58.96
There's a song I used
to sing: do you love God
00:54:59.36\00:55:02.20
more than anything? I
want to read you something
00:55:02.40\00:55:05.10
just very quickly from
the book Acts of the Apostles
00:55:05.30\00:55:07.44
page 515. Acts
of the Apostles 515.
00:55:07.64\00:55:11.94
"Christ mentions to Peter
00:55:12.14\00:55:15.48
only one condition for service:
00:55:15.68\00:55:19.48
'lovest thou Me? ' "
00:55:19.88\00:55:23.05
That's important
because no matter what
00:55:23.92\00:55:27.22
gifts you have if
you don't love Jesus,
00:55:27.42\00:55:29.96
if you don't
really care about Jesus,
00:55:30.36\00:55:33.36
your gifts will be of no avail.
00:55:33.66\00:55:35.63
This is what she says:
00:55:35.83\00:55:37.90
"This is the
essential qualification.
00:55:38.10\00:55:40.50
Though Peter might
possess every other gift
00:55:40.70\00:55:44.44
yet without the love of Christ
00:55:44.64\00:55:47.21
he could not be
a faithful shepherd
00:55:47.41\00:55:49.51
over the flock of God.
00:55:49.71\00:55:51.68
Knowledge,
benevolence, eloquence,
00:55:51.88\00:55:55.68
zeal are all
essential in the good work
00:55:55.88\00:56:00.86
but without the love of Christ
00:56:01.26\00:56:05.03
in your heart the
work of the Christian
00:56:05.43\00:56:10.50
minister is a total failure. "
00:56:10.70\00:56:15.10
So every morning we need
to check our love compass,
00:56:15.60\00:56:19.04
ladies and gentlemen.
00:56:19.24\00:56:20.58
Every morning we
need to ask the Lord
00:56:20.74\00:56:22.78
"Do I love You supremely? "
00:56:23.08\00:56:26.28
"Do I love You
more than my husband,
00:56:26.68\00:56:29.05
my wife, my parents,
00:56:29.45\00:56:31.92
my children, or myself? "
00:56:32.12\00:56:36.69
You've gotta love God
first and last and best.
00:56:37.96\00:56:43.93
Why? Because you're going to
meet some people in this world
00:56:44.23\00:56:47.67
who don't love God
and who don't love you.
00:56:47.87\00:56:50.44
And you've got
to love them anyhow.
00:56:51.34\00:56:54.41
Amen? In fact,
you've gotta love them
00:56:54.61\00:56:57.45
so well and so much they
don't know if you like them
00:56:57.65\00:57:00.98
or not. And it doesn't
matter because you love them.
00:57:01.18\00:57:06.29
And long after life
stops, love presses on.
00:57:06.49\00:57:12.06
Amen? So today, tomorrow,
00:57:12.26\00:57:16.00
and every day till Jesus comes
00:57:16.20\00:57:19.27
start your day by
asking the question:
00:57:19.47\00:57:21.97
"Lord Jesus, do I
love You supremely? "
00:57:22.37\00:57:26.17
