We want to welcome you
to the evening program.
00:00:34.23\00:00:36.23
Have you been blessed today?
00:00:36.26\00:00:37.83
Amen. I know I have.
00:00:37.87\00:00:40.74
This evening we want
to begin with God's Word
00:00:40.77\00:00:44.27
and then continue with a prayer.
00:00:44.31\00:00:46.74
If you have your Bibles,
would you open them with me
00:00:46.78\00:00:48.74
to 1 John 4:16-19?
00:00:48.78\00:00:52.98
1 John 4:16-19.
00:00:53.01\00:00:56.25
It reads, "So we have
come to know and to believe
00:00:59.69\00:01:03.96
the love that God has for us.
00:01:03.99\00:01:06.43
God is love, whoever
abides in love abides in God,
00:01:06.46\00:01:10.47
and God abides in him.
00:01:10.50\00:01:12.63
By this is love
perfected with us,
00:01:12.67\00:01:15.40
so that we may have confidence
for the day of judgment,
00:01:15.44\00:01:18.84
because as He is so
also are we in this world.
00:01:18.87\00:01:23.91
There is no fear in love,
00:01:23.95\00:01:25.31
but perfect love casts out fear.
00:01:25.35\00:01:27.95
For fear has to
do with punishment,
00:01:27.98\00:01:29.98
and whoever fears has
not been perfected in love.
00:01:30.02\00:01:33.09
We love because
He first loved us."
00:01:33.12\00:01:36.42
Would you bow your
heads with me as we pray?
00:01:36.46\00:01:40.30
Father in heaven, Lord,
we come before You tonight.
00:01:40.33\00:01:43.63
And, Lord, we have
had a high Sabbath,
00:01:43.67\00:01:45.40
this last Sabbath of 2016.
00:01:45.43\00:01:48.37
And as we come together,
Lord, we expect great things
00:01:48.40\00:01:51.17
not only in the year
ahead but even now tonight.
00:01:51.21\00:01:54.04
Lord, I pray that You would
be with the rest of the program,
00:01:54.08\00:01:56.38
be with the speaker,
and be with every element.
00:01:56.41\00:01:59.25
And, Lord, may all our hearts
00:01:59.28\00:02:00.65
unite in
glorifying and praising You.
00:02:00.68\00:02:03.18
Speak to us and
Your Spirit ahead
00:02:03.22\00:02:05.35
and we thank
You for You will do.
00:02:05.39\00:02:07.49
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:02:07.52\00:02:09.59
So how many of you
went on outreach yesterday?
00:02:15.56\00:02:18.70
Amen.
00:02:18.73\00:02:20.07
Was it a blessing?
00:02:20.10\00:02:21.44
It was.
00:02:21.47\00:02:22.80
You know, in just two and
half hours of door knocking,
00:02:22.84\00:02:24.91
over 1,600 attendees
00:02:24.94\00:02:26.98
passed out over
30,000 pieces of literature.
00:02:27.01\00:02:30.55
There were over 600
Desire of Ages handed out,
00:02:30.58\00:02:34.58
there were 20,769 doors
00:02:34.62\00:02:37.95
who was counting that
were knocked on, amen?
00:02:37.99\00:02:40.96
And there were
over 1,700 Bible studies
00:02:40.99\00:02:43.69
collected in just two
and half hours of your time
00:02:43.73\00:02:46.70
given to the
service of the Lord, amen?
00:02:46.73\00:02:49.20
During those
hours of door knocking,
00:02:49.23\00:02:50.87
we have a few
powerful testimonies
00:02:50.90\00:02:52.73
that we wanna share with you.
00:02:52.77\00:02:54.10
So we'll start here with Kay.
00:02:54.14\00:02:55.67
Kay, tell us your testimony,
00:02:55.70\00:02:57.67
and what happened yesterday
as you were on Friday outreach?
00:02:57.71\00:03:00.08
We met an Imam,
00:03:00.11\00:03:01.44
which is a Muslim
priest at a mosque
00:03:01.48\00:03:03.18
and they were
getting ready to pray.
00:03:03.21\00:03:04.55
Just before they
started their prayer
00:03:04.58\00:03:06.01
we did a quick survey.
00:03:06.05\00:03:07.42
And at the end of the survey,
00:03:07.45\00:03:08.78
by God's grace
the Imam signed up
00:03:08.82\00:03:10.25
for free Bible studies.
00:03:10.29\00:03:11.62
Amen.
00:03:11.65\00:03:12.99
And he even gave us
his cell phone number
00:03:13.02\00:03:14.36
and invited us to host
health seminars at his mosque.
00:03:14.39\00:03:17.63
Now, Lisa, this
is the crazy thing.
00:03:17.66\00:03:20.40
On Thursday morning the Lord
led me to go to the Islam class
00:03:20.43\00:03:24.30
to reach out to our
Islam brothers and sisters.
00:03:24.33\00:03:26.74
Thursday night he led me
00:03:26.77\00:03:28.10
to one of the most
passionate missionaries
00:03:28.14\00:03:30.87
in the Muslim ministry booth.
00:03:30.91\00:03:32.41
And God told me to
buy all of the books,
00:03:32.44\00:03:34.58
I bought the Quran
00:03:34.61\00:03:35.94
and the literature in his booth.
00:03:35.98\00:03:37.31
And the next day
he led me to a mosque
00:03:37.35\00:03:39.25
to meet an Imam who would
sign up for Bible studies.
00:03:39.28\00:03:41.88
I believe brothers and sisters,
this was a divine set up.
00:03:41.92\00:03:45.39
Amen. Kay, thank you so much.
00:03:45.42\00:03:47.86
You know, one of
the important things
00:03:47.89\00:03:49.22
to glean from that testimony
00:03:49.26\00:03:50.63
is the fact that
as she was learning
00:03:50.66\00:03:52.66
and she was growing her
toolbox of how to reach people,
00:03:52.69\00:03:55.06
God immediately used it, amen?
00:03:55.10\00:03:57.00
So be ready when you
learn how to cheer for the Lord,
00:03:57.03\00:03:59.80
He'll bring the
testimonies your way.
00:03:59.83\00:04:01.57
Nathan, tell us what happened
00:04:01.60\00:04:03.57
as you were a
bus leader yesterday?
00:04:03.61\00:04:05.44
All right, so I was
bus leading with my sister
00:04:05.47\00:04:07.74
and we got on the bus.
00:04:07.78\00:04:09.11
The guy asked us,
"So, who are you guys?"
00:04:09.14\00:04:10.48
We said, "We're
Seventh-day Adventist youth
00:04:10.51\00:04:12.31
going out doing outreach."
00:04:12.35\00:04:13.78
He said, "That's awesome."
00:04:13.82\00:04:15.15
So we got on the
bus, we talked to more,
00:04:15.18\00:04:16.82
then he started to ask
us religious questions.
00:04:16.85\00:04:19.15
He said, "So, who
is the antichrist?"
00:04:19.19\00:04:21.62
And, you know, that's kind
of an interesting question,
00:04:21.66\00:04:23.09
just right off the top
of the head, he's like,
00:04:23.12\00:04:24.76
"I have all sorts of churches
and people on these busses,
00:04:24.79\00:04:27.23
I hear all sorts of things."
00:04:27.26\00:04:28.76
And so I started into Daniel 2,
00:04:28.80\00:04:31.53
trying to get to the antichrist,
00:04:31.57\00:04:32.90
we didn't have time
to finish the whole thing
00:04:32.93\00:04:34.77
but we were able to leave
him with the Desire of Ages,
00:04:34.80\00:04:36.87
he has my number and
we're gonna keep in contact
00:04:36.91\00:04:39.57
and just amazing to
see how God led in that
00:04:39.61\00:04:41.64
and able to share some with him.
00:04:41.68\00:04:43.38
We also really enjoyed
the singing on the bus.
00:04:43.41\00:04:46.41
He said, "Out of my 16
years here being a bus driver,
00:04:46.45\00:04:50.02
this is one of my favorites,
00:04:50.05\00:04:51.39
to hear you all
sing God's praises."
00:04:51.42\00:04:52.95
He really enjoyed it.
00:04:52.99\00:04:54.32
You know, Nathan,
thank you for that testimony.
00:04:54.36\00:04:56.02
One important that I can
having you transition out.
00:04:56.06\00:04:59.29
One of the most important
things from that testimony is,
00:04:59.33\00:05:02.20
friends, he knew how to
give a Daniel 2 Bible study.
00:05:02.23\00:05:04.43
Amen?
00:05:04.47\00:05:05.80
Learning how to share your faith
00:05:05.83\00:05:07.17
and being able to do it
00:05:07.20\00:05:08.54
as well as the fact
that this bus driver said
00:05:08.57\00:05:10.34
in his 15 years of bus driving,
00:05:10.37\00:05:12.07
this has been one
of his favorite groups.
00:05:12.11\00:05:13.68
Amen?
00:05:13.71\00:05:15.04
Let the love of
Christ shine through.
00:05:15.08\00:05:16.41
Tell us now, this
is Keri and Debbie,
00:05:16.44\00:05:18.58
you had an
interesting experience,
00:05:18.61\00:05:20.22
please explain to us
what happened yesterday?
00:05:20.25\00:05:21.68
We did.
00:05:21.72\00:05:23.05
Debbie and I went
door-to-door together
00:05:23.08\00:05:24.42
and we decided we were gonna
introduce ourselves as doctors
00:05:24.45\00:05:26.19
and see if I open
more doors as we're both...
00:05:26.22\00:05:27.69
They are actually doctors.
00:05:27.72\00:05:30.43
So we went to the
first door and I said,
00:05:30.46\00:05:31.79
"I'm doctor Genstler,
and this is doctor Beihl,
00:05:31.83\00:05:33.40
and we are physicians
doing a local health survey."
00:05:33.43\00:05:35.66
And he said,
"That's really interesting,
00:05:35.70\00:05:37.03
it's not every day you
have doctors in your doorstep
00:05:37.07\00:05:38.67
and I actually have a
lot of genetic problems."
00:05:38.70\00:05:41.17
And we were able to
really connect with him
00:05:41.20\00:05:42.70
because we understood
what he was going through.
00:05:42.74\00:05:45.24
Because of that connection,
00:05:45.27\00:05:46.71
we were able to go more into
a trusted relationship with him
00:05:46.74\00:05:50.55
and we found out he had
a background in Judaism.
00:05:50.58\00:05:53.08
He said, "You
know, I've actually
00:05:53.11\00:05:55.05
also have a
background in Christianity.
00:05:55.08\00:05:56.95
I've been going to the synagogue
00:05:56.99\00:05:58.32
and I feel like
it's rather legalistic,
00:05:58.35\00:06:00.62
not always as open
00:06:00.66\00:06:01.99
to just come in
whenever you need something.
00:06:02.02\00:06:04.06
And I was planning to
go to church this weekend."
00:06:04.09\00:06:07.76
He noticed the Desire
of Ages we were carrying
00:06:07.80\00:06:09.40
and asked to flip through it
00:06:09.43\00:06:10.77
and came to the
chapter on the Sabbath.
00:06:10.80\00:06:12.13
And he's like, "You know,
I have a Jewish background.
00:06:12.17\00:06:13.84
What do you guys
think about the Sabbath,
00:06:13.87\00:06:15.34
because most of the Christianity
00:06:15.37\00:06:16.71
doesn't have the right idea?"
00:06:16.74\00:06:18.07
And I said, "It's
funny you've asked.
00:06:18.11\00:06:19.44
We're Seventh-day
Adventist Christians
00:06:19.47\00:06:20.81
and we believe in
keeping the Sabbath
00:06:20.84\00:06:22.18
from sundown on Friday
to sundown on Saturday."
00:06:22.21\00:06:24.28
Needless to say we
were able to pray with him.
00:06:24.31\00:06:26.45
He signed up for Bible studies.
00:06:26.48\00:06:28.25
He also said, "Where
is your local church?"
00:06:28.28\00:06:31.55
One thing that really touched
me that he said, he said,
00:06:31.59\00:06:33.89
"You know, there has
been people here before
00:06:33.92\00:06:35.42
that have said
they would come back
00:06:35.46\00:06:36.99
and study the Bible with me
00:06:37.03\00:06:38.36
but you guys have
got to come back."
00:06:38.39\00:06:40.26
Amen.
00:06:40.30\00:06:41.63
Thank you so
much for sharing that.
00:06:41.66\00:06:43.26
Here is Pastor Dan,
he is the evangelist,
00:06:43.30\00:06:47.20
evangelism coordinator
for the Texas Conference.
00:06:47.24\00:06:50.64
And so we're so
grateful you're here
00:06:50.67\00:06:52.11
and for teaming up
with us this year with GYC.
00:06:52.14\00:06:54.31
Oh, and thank you GYC.
00:06:54.34\00:06:55.94
Thank you for giving us
00:06:55.98\00:06:57.31
lots more work to
do in our territory
00:06:57.35\00:06:59.55
following up 1000
plus Bible study interest.
00:06:59.58\00:07:03.02
You know, when you go
back to your churches,
00:07:03.05\00:07:05.85
there are four things
that every one of you can do,
00:07:05.89\00:07:08.36
no matter what your
spiritual gifts are.
00:07:08.39\00:07:10.69
All of you can be
prayer warriors for Jesus,
00:07:10.73\00:07:13.63
and keep praying for the
people you met at the doors.
00:07:13.66\00:07:16.60
Second, all of you
can be GLOW missionaries
00:07:16.63\00:07:19.70
wherever you go.
00:07:19.73\00:07:21.07
And if you're
afraid to do it publicly,
00:07:21.10\00:07:22.80
just leave them
in public bathrooms.
00:07:22.84\00:07:24.21
Amen.
00:07:24.24\00:07:25.57
Everyone can be a baptism coach
00:07:25.61\00:07:27.41
and ask your church
00:07:27.44\00:07:28.78
to put your baptismal study
guides in bulk, in the lobby
00:07:28.81\00:07:32.25
so everybody who
wants to get Bible studies
00:07:32.28\00:07:34.35
can find them there
and start going to town.
00:07:34.38\00:07:36.65
And everyone can
be a home of hope.
00:07:36.69\00:07:39.39
Wherever you live,
00:07:39.42\00:07:40.76
you can determine
to let your life shine
00:07:40.79\00:07:42.76
and to pray for your neighbors
00:07:42.79\00:07:44.13
and reach out in kindness
00:07:44.16\00:07:45.49
to connect with
those who are most open.
00:07:45.53\00:07:48.13
Thank you so much you guys.
00:07:48.16\00:07:49.50
Please the appeal
from GYC's evangelism,
00:07:49.53\00:07:52.40
our goal is just to be
missionaries year around.
00:07:52.43\00:07:54.84
Amen?
00:07:54.87\00:07:56.20
This is something that
you can get on our website.
00:07:56.24\00:07:57.91
There are many
different opportunities
00:07:57.94\00:07:59.51
for you to be involved in.
00:07:59.54\00:08:00.88
But thank you so much for
going on outreach yesterday.
00:08:00.91\00:08:02.91
As an account of yesterday,
00:08:02.94\00:08:04.28
we know the population
of heaven has increased.
00:08:04.31\00:08:06.31
There's an incredible
story in the Bible about a time
00:08:12.05\00:08:14.32
Peter, James, and John went
up on a mountain top with Jesus.
00:08:14.36\00:08:17.39
And Jesus was transfigured.
00:08:17.43\00:08:19.53
He appeared in glory
alongside Moses and Elijah.
00:08:19.56\00:08:22.43
It was amazing.
00:08:22.46\00:08:23.80
The disciples hardly
knew what they are thinking.
00:08:23.83\00:08:25.33
Peter said, "This is so great.
00:08:25.37\00:08:27.50
Why don't we make
tabernacles or booths
00:08:27.54\00:08:30.17
so we can all stay here.
00:08:30.21\00:08:31.54
We'll fix a place
for Moses and for Elijah.
00:08:31.57\00:08:34.34
It was a
ridiculous suggestion really.
00:08:34.38\00:08:36.78
But Peter wanted
the experience to last
00:08:36.81\00:08:39.08
and who can blame him.
00:08:39.11\00:08:41.05
As a matter of fact,
00:08:41.08\00:08:42.42
when they came back
down off that mountaintop,
00:08:42.45\00:08:43.79
first thing they saw
00:08:43.82\00:08:45.15
was a dad whose
child was demon possessed.
00:08:45.19\00:08:48.46
So there they
were up on the mountain
00:08:48.49\00:08:50.86
in the presence of
Jesus, and Moses, and Elijah
00:08:50.89\00:08:54.86
and now a demonic confrontation.
00:08:54.90\00:09:01.30
When you come to GYC,
00:09:01.34\00:09:02.67
it's a whole lot like
being on top of that mountain.
00:09:02.70\00:09:04.91
It's awesome, it should be.
00:09:04.94\00:09:06.61
It's a holy convocation.
00:09:06.64\00:09:08.21
People coming together,
00:09:08.24\00:09:09.58
gathering around the
Bible in the presence of God
00:09:09.61\00:09:12.05
because the Spirit of God
is poured out in great measure.
00:09:12.08\00:09:15.28
You want it to
last but you know what,
00:09:15.32\00:09:16.82
you got to come back
down off that mountain
00:09:16.85\00:09:18.35
and you can go
home and be confronted.
00:09:18.39\00:09:22.72
Literally maybe
with demonic activity,
00:09:22.76\00:09:26.43
that is we get
back into the world,
00:09:26.46\00:09:28.50
and the grime, and
the glitter and dust,
00:09:28.53\00:09:30.33
and the dirt of
regular life gets on top of us.
00:09:30.37\00:09:34.14
What do you do to
keep that experience?
00:09:34.17\00:09:35.80
I'll tell you what.
00:09:35.84\00:09:37.21
In Livermore, California,
00:09:37.24\00:09:39.21
there is a light bulb that
has been burning for 115 years.
00:09:39.24\00:09:41.98
You heard that right?
You may think, impossible.
00:09:42.01\00:09:44.58
No, no, planned
obsolescence made it impossible.
00:09:44.61\00:09:47.58
Light bulbs initially
were built to last a long time
00:09:47.62\00:09:50.99
until light bulbs
seller said, we won't sell many
00:09:51.02\00:09:53.12
if they keep
burning for 115 years
00:09:53.15\00:09:55.49
so now they burn
as long as they do.
00:09:55.52\00:09:58.36
That light bulb
continues to burn
00:09:58.39\00:10:00.10
because A, it was made to
00:10:00.13\00:10:02.26
and B, it's connected
to the source of power.
00:10:02.30\00:10:05.53
Now you were made to
burn brightly for God.
00:10:05.57\00:10:08.20
But you got to be connected
to the source of the power.
00:10:08.24\00:10:10.91
Christianity is
a simple business.
00:10:10.94\00:10:12.97
Yours can be a
mountaintop experience
00:10:13.01\00:10:15.18
day after day, after day.
00:10:15.21\00:10:16.81
I want to encourage you,
00:10:16.85\00:10:18.28
pay little
attention to what you see
00:10:18.31\00:10:19.91
that is appearances
sake, live by faith.
00:10:19.95\00:10:22.48
You're gonna go
from a place like GYC
00:10:22.52\00:10:25.02
believing that you
are a child of God.
00:10:25.05\00:10:26.59
That does not change.
00:10:26.62\00:10:27.99
Believing that God is
good, that Jesus is your savior.
00:10:28.02\00:10:30.66
But what you want to do
is continue to be plugged in.
00:10:30.69\00:10:33.66
Take time to spend
time with God in His word.
00:10:33.70\00:10:36.83
Take time to spend
time with God in prayer.
00:10:36.87\00:10:38.80
Those things as simple
as they are, are the key.
00:10:38.83\00:10:42.74
And share your
faith, and believe,
00:10:42.77\00:10:46.41
and stay on that mountain
in the presence of Jesus.
00:10:46.44\00:10:50.35
Who soon will be back
for you to take you home.
00:10:50.38\00:10:54.38
How can you stay
connected with Jesus
00:11:00.99\00:11:04.63
after the GYC Conference?
00:11:04.66\00:11:06.59
How many of you have
read this book before?
00:11:06.63\00:11:09.93
How many of you know somebody
that needs to read this book?
00:11:09.96\00:11:13.13
Raise your hand.
00:11:13.17\00:11:14.50
I expect each one of
you to come to the GYC booth
00:11:14.54\00:11:17.41
and pick up a copy that you
can get there for your friend.
00:11:17.44\00:11:21.51
Another resource that we
want to make available to you
00:11:21.54\00:11:23.78
is this CD right here
00:11:23.81\00:11:25.15
with wonderful music
from our past conference
00:11:25.18\00:11:28.22
that you can share
with others as well.
00:11:28.25\00:11:31.09
After the conference, you
will also be able to access
00:11:31.12\00:11:33.96
the seminars that
you've missed, right?
00:11:33.99\00:11:36.93
There are so many to choose from
00:11:36.96\00:11:38.39
and you will be
able to listen to them
00:11:38.43\00:11:40.33
via audio and video.
00:11:40.36\00:11:42.00
Thank you.
00:11:42.03\00:11:43.37
Good evening, GYC.
00:11:46.37\00:11:49.04
Amen.
00:11:49.07\00:11:50.67
GYC small groups has
had the awesome opportunity
00:11:50.71\00:11:53.64
to work with Coming
Out Ministries this year.
00:11:53.68\00:11:56.21
And we have an
opportunity tonight
00:11:56.24\00:11:58.01
that I think you
are going to enjoy.
00:11:58.05\00:12:00.22
They have created a documentary
00:12:00.25\00:12:01.98
that I fully believe
is for this generation
00:12:02.02\00:12:04.92
that we are living in
00:12:04.95\00:12:06.29
and for the world
that we are living in now.
00:12:06.32\00:12:08.32
And they're here to
tell us a little about it.
00:12:08.36\00:12:10.53
Thank you, Mackenzie.
00:12:10.56\00:12:11.96
I'm Michael Carducci
with Coming Out Ministries
00:12:11.99\00:12:13.96
and these are my colleagues
that have had the honor
00:12:14.00\00:12:16.46
and the privilege of working
with for the last five years.
00:12:16.50\00:12:19.03
We have Wayne
Blakely, Ron Woolsey,
00:12:19.07\00:12:22.17
and of course, our
newest member Danielle Harrison,
00:12:22.20\00:12:24.37
but it doesn't seem that new
00:12:24.41\00:12:25.74
since you've been
with us for over two years.
00:12:25.77\00:12:27.84
We're so excited, Mackenzie,
00:12:27.88\00:12:29.21
because tonight in
less than two hours
00:12:29.24\00:12:31.98
we're going to be
showing our documentary
00:12:32.01\00:12:34.12
that we worked on
for the last three years.
00:12:34.15\00:12:36.52
And because of the
demand that we've heard
00:12:36.55\00:12:39.42
and being able to be a part
of GYC for the last four years,
00:12:39.45\00:12:42.96
it's our honor and
privilege to invite you to come.
00:12:42.99\00:12:45.39
It's gonna be in the
ballroom on the third floor
00:12:45.43\00:12:47.53
at 8 o'clock tonight
00:12:47.56\00:12:49.20
and we're so excited to
share with you our documentary.
00:12:49.23\00:12:53.13
Now there is limited capacity,
00:12:53.17\00:12:54.80
so if you're interested
in seeing this documentary,
00:12:54.84\00:12:57.04
you gonna wanna make sure
you're there right at 8 pm
00:12:57.07\00:12:59.37
so you can make
sure you get a seat.
00:12:59.41\00:13:00.74
Absolutely.
00:13:00.78\00:13:02.11
As a matter of fact let me
entice you just a little bit.
00:13:02.14\00:13:04.31
We have a cliffhanger
if you would in our film
00:13:04.35\00:13:07.15
and we're
desperate for you to come.
00:13:07.18\00:13:09.22
And as a matter of fact,
after the film we're gonna have
00:13:09.25\00:13:11.55
a very lively Q and A I hope.
00:13:11.59\00:13:14.02
And so we want to
invite you to come,
00:13:14.06\00:13:15.62
bring your
questions, bring a friend,
00:13:15.66\00:13:17.63
and of course
bring an open mind.
00:13:17.66\00:13:19.49
Thank you so much,
Michael. Thank you, Mackenzie.
00:13:19.53\00:13:21.20
See you later.
00:13:21.23\00:13:22.56
We have another
exciting opportunity for you all
00:13:22.60\00:13:24.27
that will be
happening tomorrow morning.
00:13:24.30\00:13:26.67
And this opportunity
goes to support the missions
00:13:26.70\00:13:29.94
that GYC goes on year round.
00:13:29.97\00:13:32.07
Here to explain it
to you is my friend Tom.
00:13:32.11\00:13:34.64
Good evening everyone.
00:13:34.68\00:13:36.44
I know I'm pretty active,
00:13:36.48\00:13:37.81
I like to get out and do
lots of different types of races
00:13:37.85\00:13:40.42
and my favorite
race of all is the 5K.
00:13:40.45\00:13:43.39
And the 5K that GYC puts on
00:13:43.42\00:13:45.69
is a fund raiser
for the mission projects
00:13:45.72\00:13:47.42
that GYC does
throughout the year.
00:13:47.46\00:13:49.96
Now, the most important
thing that you need to know
00:13:49.99\00:13:51.93
is that tonight
is the last night
00:13:51.96\00:13:53.63
to register for the 5K.
00:13:53.66\00:13:55.33
So stop by the
booth that we have
00:13:55.36\00:13:57.37
just to the
right of the GYC booth
00:13:57.40\00:13:59.17
in the exhibit hall
00:13:59.20\00:14:00.54
and register, pick up
your race speed in your t-shirt
00:14:00.57\00:14:03.51
and then also the race
starts at 6:30 tomorrow morning.
00:14:03.54\00:14:06.47
Now I want you to know
00:14:06.51\00:14:07.84
that last year the
race started at 6 am
00:14:07.88\00:14:09.91
and it was 20 degrees outside
00:14:09.94\00:14:11.28
so it's a tropical paradise,
you're in Houston, right?
00:14:11.31\00:14:13.08
This one should be a
piece of cake compared to that.
00:14:13.11\00:14:14.92
Exactly. It's a
beautiful scenery.
00:14:14.95\00:14:17.05
We're gonna have a
group leading from the Hilton
00:14:17.09\00:14:19.02
first for lobby
leaving at 5:45 am.
00:14:19.05\00:14:22.26
If you want
someone to walk out with,
00:14:22.29\00:14:24.16
so that's good to know.
00:14:24.19\00:14:25.53
And also if you
want to help out,
00:14:25.56\00:14:27.36
you don't want to run,
00:14:27.40\00:14:28.73
and you want to do something
fun like hand out race medals
00:14:28.76\00:14:30.57
to finishers who look like
they just did something hard
00:14:30.60\00:14:32.60
and you're all
fresh and everything,
00:14:32.63\00:14:34.04
stop by, talk to me and
I can really use your help.
00:14:34.07\00:14:36.57
Thank you very much. All right.
00:14:36.60\00:14:37.94
So if you have any
questions about the 5K,
00:14:37.97\00:14:39.94
make sure you stop
by the booth tonight.
00:14:39.97\00:14:42.04
It is right next
to the GYC booth.
00:14:42.08\00:14:43.95
Thank you so much.
00:14:43.98\00:14:45.31
Good evening.
00:14:48.82\00:14:50.75
It's so good to
see all of your faces
00:14:50.79\00:14:53.89
beaming with the love of God.
00:14:53.92\00:14:57.33
Amen. Ah, that was really weak.
00:14:57.36\00:14:59.09
Shawn, I heard you,
00:14:59.13\00:15:00.50
but the rest I didn't hear you.
00:15:00.53\00:15:02.00
Amen? Amen!
00:15:02.03\00:15:03.50
Amen.
00:15:03.53\00:15:05.90
Now how many of you here
00:15:05.93\00:15:07.27
have heard of the
sacrificial giving initiative?
00:15:07.30\00:15:13.64
Raise your hand if
you've heard about it.
00:15:13.68\00:15:16.78
Okay, well, I hope
you'll be more excited about it.
00:15:16.81\00:15:23.49
So what is the
sacrificial giving by GYC,
00:15:23.52\00:15:26.22
what is this all about?
00:15:26.25\00:15:27.69
How many of you
have seen the hashtag
00:15:27.72\00:15:29.52
when you go to the GYC website,
00:15:29.56\00:15:31.73
you see this
hashtag that says sacrifice?
00:15:31.76\00:15:36.30
All right, some of you.
00:15:36.33\00:15:37.83
All right, that's okay.
00:15:37.87\00:15:40.67
Now the sacrificial
giving initiative is this.
00:15:40.70\00:15:44.04
It is giving our
money as young people
00:15:44.07\00:15:47.88
to help other young
people spread the gospel
00:15:47.91\00:15:51.25
in unreached
areas around the world.
00:15:51.28\00:15:54.72
It is giving for a mission.
00:15:54.75\00:15:59.82
This sacrificial
giving initiative
00:15:59.85\00:16:02.52
as a matter of fact
is not just a GYC thing.
00:16:02.56\00:16:05.96
It has existed
00:16:05.99\00:16:07.73
since the
beginnings of our church,
00:16:07.76\00:16:10.17
the need to give for a mission.
00:16:10.20\00:16:13.30
I want to talk
to your heart here.
00:16:13.34\00:16:16.50
Ellen G. White in the
General Conference Bulletin,
00:16:16.54\00:16:18.77
April 1, 1899,
wrote these words.
00:16:18.81\00:16:23.24
This is
specifically to young people.
00:16:23.28\00:16:26.11
"I have a request to make:
00:16:26.15\00:16:29.18
Let all that love the Lord
who gave his life for them,
00:16:29.22\00:16:32.25
make returns to Him who
has bought them with a price.
00:16:32.29\00:16:37.03
Through your own
self-denial and self-sacrifice
00:16:37.06\00:16:40.33
return to God your offerings,
00:16:40.36\00:16:43.33
to be used in opening new fields
00:16:43.37\00:16:45.50
and planting the
standard of truth
00:16:45.53\00:16:48.10
in places that
have never been worked.
00:16:48.14\00:16:52.47
Economize in your expenditure
of means upon yourself.
00:16:52.51\00:16:55.78
The first step of self-denial
00:16:55.81\00:16:57.98
is generally the most difficult,
00:16:58.01\00:17:00.58
but begin without delay."
00:17:00.62\00:17:05.02
Furthermore, she says in
Gospel Workers, page 210,
00:17:05.05\00:17:09.99
"When the youth
give their hearts to God,
00:17:10.03\00:17:13.60
our responsibility
for them does not cease.
00:17:13.63\00:17:16.36
They must be
interested in the Lord's work
00:17:16.40\00:17:19.33
and led to see that He
expects of them to do something
00:17:19.37\00:17:23.07
to advance His cause.
00:17:23.10\00:17:26.17
It is not enough to show
how much needs to be done
00:17:26.21\00:17:29.68
and to urge the
youth to act apart.
00:17:29.71\00:17:32.68
They must be taught how
to labor for the master,
00:17:32.71\00:17:36.05
they must be
trained, disciplined,
00:17:36.08\00:17:39.09
drilled in the most best methods
00:17:39.12\00:17:41.92
of winning source to Christ.
00:17:41.96\00:17:44.59
Teach them to try in a quiet,
00:17:44.63\00:17:47.56
unpretending way to
help their young companions.
00:17:47.60\00:17:53.34
Let different
branches of missionary effort
00:17:53.37\00:17:55.50
be systematically laid out
00:17:55.54\00:17:57.61
in which they may take part
00:17:57.64\00:18:00.28
and let them be
given instruction and help,
00:18:00.31\00:18:03.14
this thus they will
learn to work for God.
00:18:03.18\00:18:08.72
Giving for mission."
00:18:08.75\00:18:11.05
When we started this
sacrificial giving initiative
00:18:14.99\00:18:19.09
GYC by God's grace,
00:18:19.13\00:18:22.16
young people like
you raise this year
00:18:22.20\00:18:25.33
alone $18,000 for a
mission to unreached areas.
00:18:25.37\00:18:30.54
You got to say amen.
00:18:30.57\00:18:31.91
Amen.
00:18:31.94\00:18:34.84
And these $18,000 went through
00:18:34.88\00:18:38.21
seven specific areas in Vietnam,
00:18:38.25\00:18:41.98
reaching 250 souls for Christ,
00:18:42.02\00:18:48.62
for eternity.
00:18:48.66\00:18:50.43
I want to give you a
picture of 250 souls for Christ,
00:18:50.46\00:18:54.46
how does that look like.
00:18:54.50\00:18:55.93
So my brothers and my
sisters in these front two rows,
00:18:55.96\00:19:00.60
if you could stand up for me.
00:19:00.64\00:19:03.61
If you could stand up in
this front two rows right here,
00:19:08.31\00:19:12.88
if you could
just stand up for me.
00:19:12.91\00:19:18.35
I want to give the crowd
00:19:18.39\00:19:19.72
a picture of what
250 souls looks like.
00:19:19.75\00:19:22.82
Don't be shy, just stand up.
00:19:22.86\00:19:24.66
I want to give the picture,
00:19:24.69\00:19:26.26
just this front
two rows right here.
00:19:26.29\00:19:30.10
Sections, sorry.
00:19:30.13\00:19:32.73
Excuse me for my French.
00:19:32.77\00:19:35.60
These two sections,
00:19:35.64\00:19:37.37
you know, sometimes man
was not meant to be alone,
00:19:37.41\00:19:40.18
my wife was here...
00:19:40.21\00:19:41.54
If she was here,
she would correct me.
00:19:41.58\00:19:43.55
Sections, thank you.
00:19:43.58\00:19:45.51
These are 250,
00:19:45.55\00:19:49.28
about 250 souls
won to the gospel.
00:19:49.32\00:19:52.89
This is a picture of
how many people were reached
00:19:52.92\00:19:55.72
because of your
giving for eternity.
00:19:55.76\00:20:00.56
One soul Christ
would have died for 250.
00:20:00.60\00:20:05.27
Thank you. You
may now be seated.
00:20:05.30\00:20:08.27
This is my point, friends,
00:20:08.30\00:20:10.57
sacrificial giving
00:20:10.61\00:20:15.01
can be something
each and every one of us
00:20:15.04\00:20:18.91
participate in.
00:20:18.95\00:20:22.45
Did you know that
if we gave $5 a week,
00:20:22.48\00:20:27.09
every attendee that's in
this convention right here,
00:20:27.12\00:20:32.83
guess how much we would raise
00:20:32.86\00:20:34.36
if we gave just $5 a
week, less than a dollar a day,
00:20:34.40\00:20:38.23
we would raise
almost a million dollars
00:20:38.27\00:20:40.84
in a year for missions.
00:20:40.87\00:20:44.74
Just $5 a week,
00:20:44.77\00:20:47.38
less than $1 a day
00:20:47.41\00:20:49.04
that means that if I decide
00:20:49.08\00:20:51.71
I am being very honest with you.
00:20:51.75\00:20:53.28
I'm a pastor, I eat out
about three times a week.
00:20:53.31\00:20:57.39
If I decided for one
of those times to say,
00:20:57.42\00:20:59.82
"Well, Moise, I'm gonna
pack something for lunch
00:20:59.85\00:21:03.73
when I do my visits,"
00:21:03.76\00:21:05.23
I could save even
more than $5 a week
00:21:05.26\00:21:10.67
and give that to mission.
00:21:10.70\00:21:13.44
Maybe for those of you
ladies who like to save money,
00:21:13.47\00:21:16.20
maybe it's using coupons
00:21:16.24\00:21:18.74
and using the
difference to give to mission.
00:21:18.77\00:21:22.78
Maybe for somebody
00:21:22.81\00:21:24.15
who will be instead of
buying a pop you could buy...
00:21:24.18\00:21:28.18
you could just get water.
00:21:28.22\00:21:31.75
Maybe for somebody it'll be
00:21:31.79\00:21:33.72
that instead of ordering
dessert one day in a week
00:21:33.76\00:21:38.76
after you're done eating
00:21:38.79\00:21:40.40
saving that money
and giving it to mission,
00:21:40.43\00:21:42.63
can we do that?
00:21:42.66\00:21:44.00
Yes.
00:21:44.03\00:21:45.37
Five dollars.
00:21:45.40\00:21:47.70
Every attendee
here could raise one...
00:21:47.74\00:21:51.67
or all of us together
could raise almost $1 million
00:21:51.71\00:21:56.41
in a year for mission.
00:21:56.44\00:22:01.18
This is my
appeal to you, friends,
00:22:01.22\00:22:02.82
we're not going to just,
00:22:02.85\00:22:04.32
we're not going to
aim for $1 million,
00:22:04.35\00:22:08.02
we're just
00:22:08.06\00:22:12.49
for a mission in
this coming year.
00:22:12.53\00:22:16.67
My time is running out
00:22:16.70\00:22:18.13
but I'm pleading
with you, friend,
00:22:18.17\00:22:20.27
it is easy to give for a mission
00:22:20.30\00:22:23.47
and the amount of money you give
00:22:23.51\00:22:25.44
can literally change the
lives of thousands for Christ.
00:22:25.47\00:22:30.18
But this is GYC
00:22:30.21\00:22:31.55
and I know that we can reach
the $75,000 goal in one month.
00:22:31.58\00:22:36.82
Do you believe we could do that?
00:22:36.85\00:22:38.19
Yes.
00:22:38.22\00:22:39.55
Raise your hand if we believe
we could do that together.
00:22:39.59\00:22:44.03
So here are the ways
you can give really quickly.
00:22:44.06\00:22:47.70
One of the ways is just
to text a simple number 31...
00:22:47.73\00:22:52.97
It's on the screen,
3131 GOGIVE, no spaces,
00:22:53.00\00:22:58.84
and the amount you're
willing to give to mission,
00:22:58.87\00:23:01.78
this is a pledge.
00:23:01.81\00:23:03.14
You don't have to
put any dollar sign,
00:23:03.18\00:23:05.08
so just 313131 text that number
00:23:05.11\00:23:10.19
and in your text
put GOGIVE, no spaces
00:23:10.22\00:23:14.49
and the number
you're willing to give,
00:23:14.52\00:23:17.89
if you have a US number.
00:23:17.93\00:23:19.76
There's also
another way you can give.
00:23:19.79\00:23:22.96
If you have one of
these little papers with you,
00:23:23.00\00:23:27.10
you could write
in there your pledge
00:23:27.14\00:23:29.07
of how much you'll
be willing to give.
00:23:29.10\00:23:31.37
Let us do something
00:23:31.41\00:23:32.74
for the unreached
areas in the world.
00:23:32.77\00:23:35.01
Young people supporting
young people for mission.
00:23:35.04\00:23:38.55
Can we do that, friends?
00:23:38.58\00:23:39.91
Amen.
00:23:39.95\00:23:41.28
Oh, that was weak.
Can we do that, friends?
00:23:41.32\00:23:42.98
Amen! Amen.
00:23:43.02\00:23:44.45
Seventy-five thousand dollars
00:23:44.49\00:23:46.05
we can reach it in
the month of January,
00:23:46.09\00:23:48.26
just sacrifice that soda pop,
00:23:48.29\00:23:51.36
or that
Starbucks, or whatever it is
00:23:51.39\00:23:54.60
and give it to mission.
00:23:54.63\00:23:57.30
This time I want to also invite
two of my friends Jonathan
00:23:57.33\00:24:02.04
and the ushers
are gonna come shortly
00:24:02.07\00:24:03.91
to pick up your commitment.
00:24:03.94\00:24:05.77
We also have booths at site
00:24:05.81\00:24:08.08
to make sure that you
have an opportunity to give.
00:24:08.11\00:24:11.45
One of my
friend, invite Jonathan.
00:24:11.48\00:24:13.05
Jonathan, if you can come here.
00:24:13.08\00:24:14.55
And my good friend
Ingo, if you can come here.
00:24:14.58\00:24:18.19
Jonathan, why are
we standing up here?
00:24:18.22\00:24:20.72
What are we doing here?
00:24:20.76\00:24:23.59
Well, tonight we want to share
with you a little bit about
00:24:23.63\00:24:27.86
our theme for next year.
00:24:27.90\00:24:29.93
As you know,
the world every year
00:24:29.96\00:24:32.20
around December 31 is
hoping, and believing,
00:24:32.23\00:24:35.90
and thinking that the
next year will be better.
00:24:35.94\00:24:38.97
But every year we are
disappointed in humanity.
00:24:39.01\00:24:43.31
In fact, we're just
tumbling and falling
00:24:43.35\00:24:46.05
into deeper and deeper
darkness in this world.
00:24:46.08\00:24:50.39
As we come to the close of time,
00:24:50.42\00:24:52.92
we know that the darkness
will increase and increase
00:24:52.95\00:24:55.92
confusion and the
power of the devil
00:24:55.96\00:25:01.03
will take over.
00:25:01.06\00:25:03.06
And that is our calling
as Seventh-day Adventists
00:25:03.10\00:25:06.74
who have the truth
to uplift that truth,
00:25:06.77\00:25:11.07
to bring the light
of God, the life of God,
00:25:11.11\00:25:15.08
and the peace and love of
God, His truth into this world.
00:25:15.11\00:25:19.58
We have a calling to
arise, and stand, and shine,
00:25:19.61\00:25:23.95
and let the glory of
God shine through us.
00:25:23.99\00:25:27.56
Amen.
00:25:27.59\00:25:29.29
Now I want to...
00:25:29.32\00:25:30.66
We're here to announce to
you our theme for next year.
00:25:30.69\00:25:34.90
As Jonathan has just told you
00:25:34.93\00:25:36.56
about the
gravity of the situation
00:25:36.60\00:25:38.83
in which we are found today,
00:25:38.87\00:25:41.10
we want to find an
answer in the Word of God
00:25:41.14\00:25:45.21
and our theme for next year...
00:25:45.24\00:25:49.31
Go to your
Bibles with me to Isaiah
00:25:49.34\00:25:52.21
60:1-3.
00:25:52.25\00:25:56.95
Isaiah 60:
00:25:56.99\00:26:01.66
1-3,
00:26:01.69\00:26:06.53
if you're there
you could say amen.
00:26:06.56\00:26:09.60
Praise the Lord.
00:26:09.63\00:26:11.37
Isaiah 60:1-3,
00:26:11.40\00:26:14.94
and it reads, "Arise and shine,
00:26:14.97\00:26:19.37
for your light has come,
00:26:19.41\00:26:21.41
and the glory of the
Lord is risen upon you.
00:26:21.44\00:26:24.61
For behold the
darkness shall cover the earth
00:26:24.65\00:26:27.88
and deep darkness the people,
00:26:27.92\00:26:30.85
but the Lord will arise over you
00:26:30.89\00:26:35.82
and His glory
will be seen upon you.
00:26:35.86\00:26:38.93
The gentiles
shall come to the light
00:26:38.96\00:26:41.66
and the kings to the
brightness of your rising."
00:26:41.70\00:26:45.73
Our theme for next
year is going to be arise,
00:26:45.77\00:26:50.24
arise for truly Jesus.
00:26:50.27\00:26:55.74
The glory of our
savior has risen upon us.
00:26:55.78\00:27:00.02
This is a time my friend
to stand up for the truth.
00:27:00.05\00:27:05.45
GYC next year is gonna
be held in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:27:05.49\00:27:09.06
I expect to see you
by God's grace and arise.
00:27:09.09\00:27:12.39
But we have something more,
how can we prepare to arise
00:27:12.43\00:27:17.87
as we prepare for
our next convention
00:27:17.90\00:27:21.17
in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:27:21.20\00:27:22.70
My friend, Ingo, why
don't you share with us
00:27:22.74\00:27:25.04
something that we
can all do to prepare
00:27:25.07\00:27:28.14
for this exciting event.
00:27:28.18\00:27:30.25
Have you noticed
that every evening
00:27:30.28\00:27:33.18
there's a German on the stage?
00:27:33.21\00:27:36.22
Right now, you have two
Germans at the same time.
00:27:36.25\00:27:41.06
Austria.
00:27:41.09\00:27:42.42
Same language,
different country.
00:27:42.46\00:27:43.79
Different country.
00:27:43.83\00:27:46.29
Speaking of Europe,
the year 2017 will mark
00:27:46.33\00:27:51.00
the 500 year
anniversary of Martin Luther,
00:27:51.03\00:27:55.47
nailing the 95 Theses
to the Wittenberg door.
00:27:55.50\00:27:59.91
And it would be well
for us to study the history
00:27:59.94\00:28:03.41
and dynamics of the Reformation.
00:28:03.45\00:28:05.95
Great Controversy, page 166,
00:28:05.98\00:28:09.82
"The influence of this one
man who dared to think and act
00:28:09.85\00:28:14.52
for himself in religious matters
00:28:14.56\00:28:17.06
was to affect the
church and the world,
00:28:17.09\00:28:20.13
not only in his own time
but in all future generations."
00:28:20.16\00:28:25.83
Why read the Great Controversy?
00:28:25.87\00:28:28.97
Why read the Great Controversy
00:28:29.00\00:28:31.57
in the year 2017?
00:28:31.61\00:28:35.48
Because Luther
massively influenced language
00:28:35.51\00:28:39.58
especially German,
translated the Bible,
00:28:39.61\00:28:42.98
reintroduced
righteousness by faith
00:28:43.02\00:28:44.99
and correctly
identified the nature of Rome.
00:28:45.02\00:28:49.76
According to early writings,
Luther was called of God.
00:28:49.79\00:28:53.90
Luther's works was
attended by angels.
00:28:53.93\00:28:57.17
Luther is a role model
in the study of scripture,
00:28:57.20\00:29:00.07
listen to Great
Controversy, page 122,
00:29:00.10\00:29:03.41
"With mingled awe and wonder
he turned the sacred pages,
00:29:03.44\00:29:08.38
with quickened
pulse and throbbing heart
00:29:08.41\00:29:10.65
he read for
himself the words of life
00:29:10.68\00:29:12.81
pausing now and then to exclaim,
00:29:12.85\00:29:15.18
'Oh, that God would give
me such a book for myself.'"
00:29:15.22\00:29:19.89
Luther is also a
transparent example
00:29:19.92\00:29:23.39
of the struggle of our
soul with salvation and self.
00:29:23.43\00:29:28.56
"Angels of
heaven were by his side,
00:29:28.60\00:29:30.70
rays of light
from the throne of God
00:29:30.73\00:29:32.97
revealed the treasures of
truth to his understanding."
00:29:33.00\00:29:36.40
Great Controversy concludes,
00:29:36.44\00:29:38.17
"He had ever
feared to offend God
00:29:38.21\00:29:41.28
but now the deep conviction
of his condition as a sinner
00:29:41.31\00:29:44.95
took hold upon
him as never before."
00:29:44.98\00:29:49.45
Luther refused to
compromise with Rome.
00:29:49.48\00:29:52.92
And looking at the current
Protestant ecumenical movement
00:29:52.95\00:29:58.19
and convergence,
this is more urgent
00:29:58.23\00:30:01.73
and highly relevant
to us as ever before.
00:30:01.76\00:30:05.73
Luther once said,
"Where God build a church,
00:30:05.77\00:30:09.37
the devil also builds a chapel."
00:30:09.40\00:30:14.34
But Luther didn't go far enough.
00:30:14.38\00:30:16.81
God put a green light
in front of Martin Luther
00:30:16.85\00:30:21.02
and he stopped at a green light.
00:30:21.05\00:30:24.59
We are now in the same position,
00:30:24.62\00:30:26.55
let us not make
the same mistake,
00:30:26.59\00:30:29.06
we need to carry
the truth all the way
00:30:29.09\00:30:33.06
and the truth is unfolded
00:30:33.09\00:30:34.96
in the book of Great Controversy
00:30:35.00\00:30:37.13
in an understandable manner.
00:30:37.17\00:30:39.67
For better or for worse,
we have to learn from Luther
00:30:39.70\00:30:43.14
including the
pitfalls or blind spots,
00:30:43.17\00:30:46.44
political distractions,
and personal biases.
00:30:46.47\00:30:50.05
Why read the Great Controversy?
00:30:50.08\00:30:53.31
Because we have right
now a green light before us
00:30:53.35\00:30:57.82
that at any moment can turn red.
00:30:57.85\00:31:00.66
That means at some
point an enemy will declare
00:31:00.69\00:31:05.99
that it is not okay to be SDA.
00:31:06.03\00:31:11.97
"We must either deny the
Word of God or be burned,"
00:31:12.00\00:31:16.44
Great Controversy 201,
"Might as well be prepared,
00:31:16.47\00:31:21.74
might as well
solidify your faith
00:31:21.78\00:31:24.31
where you too can arise and say,
00:31:24.35\00:31:28.58
'Here I stand, I
can do no different.'"
00:31:28.62\00:31:33.42
How many of you have never read
the Great Controversy before,
00:31:33.46\00:31:36.62
don't be ashamed.
00:31:36.66\00:31:37.99
How many of you have
never read it before?
00:31:38.03\00:31:39.63
We at GYC would
like to encourage you,
00:31:39.66\00:31:42.43
this upcoming
year to read the book,
00:31:42.46\00:31:44.57
the Great Controversy
00:31:44.60\00:31:46.23
as preparation for our
next year's conference.
00:31:46.27\00:31:49.57
How many of you want to say,
00:31:49.60\00:31:50.94
"I want to read it
for the first time,
00:31:50.97\00:31:52.31
I want to read it
again or for the tenth time,"
00:31:52.34\00:31:54.34
raise your hand today.
00:31:54.38\00:31:56.01
Amen.
00:31:56.04\00:31:57.38
We want to
challenge you, encourage you,
00:31:57.41\00:31:59.05
you will be blessed and
we will encourage to arise
00:31:59.08\00:32:02.78
and let God shine through
you His glory and for His glory.
00:32:02.82\00:32:07.39
We're encouraged by your courage
00:32:07.42\00:32:10.06
and we're praying for all of you
00:32:10.09\00:32:11.66
that you will be
able to surrender
00:32:11.69\00:32:14.30
and let God shine through you.
00:32:14.33\00:32:15.76
God bless you.
00:32:15.80\00:32:17.13
Good evening, GYC.
00:32:21.17\00:32:22.67
Amen.
00:32:22.70\00:32:24.21
I've always been fascinated
by the movement of people,
00:32:28.94\00:32:32.65
whether people
are moving in masses,
00:32:32.68\00:32:34.72
in small groups, or individuals.
00:32:34.75\00:32:37.42
People are
constantly on the move
00:32:37.45\00:32:39.05
from given
places to other places.
00:32:39.09\00:32:41.29
Whether they are
ex-patriots or walkers
00:32:41.32\00:32:43.22
moving to different countries,
00:32:43.26\00:32:45.19
whether they are
students changing states
00:32:45.23\00:32:47.06
to different universities,
00:32:47.10\00:32:48.46
whether they are moving
for tourism, for sports,
00:32:48.50\00:32:51.17
intentional missionaries
going to other countries,
00:32:51.20\00:32:54.24
and lately we've even
seen the movement of refugees.
00:32:54.27\00:32:57.81
Whenever people move,
they easily adapt to culture,
00:32:57.84\00:33:01.81
language, food,
00:33:01.84\00:33:05.08
sometimes they
even adapt to religion.
00:33:05.11\00:33:08.58
You see God is not oblivious
to movements of people.
00:33:08.62\00:33:11.62
In fact, He uses it for
the furtherance of His gospel,
00:33:11.65\00:33:15.02
to the glory of His name.
00:33:15.06\00:33:17.13
This has led me to
believe that God allows us
00:33:17.16\00:33:19.53
to be in different places
00:33:19.56\00:33:21.26
that we can share the
gospel within our spheres.
00:33:21.30\00:33:23.87
Or He allows us to be
in those different places
00:33:23.90\00:33:26.67
so that people can
share the gospel with us.
00:33:26.70\00:33:29.87
Talking about
movements, I want us to look at
00:33:29.90\00:33:32.97
a very interesting
movement in the Book of Acts.
00:33:33.01\00:33:37.78
In the Book of Acts 1:8,
00:33:37.81\00:33:42.88
the Bible says
something very interesting.
00:33:42.92\00:33:44.45
Jesus says, "And
ye shall receive power
00:33:44.49\00:33:46.72
after the Holy
Spirit has come upon you,
00:33:46.76\00:33:48.79
and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem,
00:33:48.82\00:33:51.23
in all Judaea, in Samaria,
00:33:51.26\00:33:53.19
and to the
outermost parts of the world."
00:33:53.23\00:33:55.56
The fulfillment of what Jesus
is talking about is in Acts,
00:33:55.60\00:33:58.77
the very Acts 8:1,
00:33:58.80\00:34:01.54
a great persecution
breaks out in Jerusalem
00:34:01.57\00:34:04.77
and the disciples
and other believers
00:34:04.81\00:34:06.78
are moving out of Jerusalem
into Judea and Samaria.
00:34:06.81\00:34:10.98
As they move, they
carry the gospel with them.
00:34:11.01\00:34:14.68
The movement of people
impacting other people.
00:34:14.72\00:34:17.35
The lands where they settled in,
00:34:17.39\00:34:19.82
they carry the gospel message.
00:34:19.85\00:34:23.96
Now if you look in your Bibles
in the Book of Matthew 24:14,
00:34:23.99\00:34:28.46
the Bible says, "And
this gospel of the kingdom
00:34:28.50\00:34:31.53
shall be
preached to all the world
00:34:31.57\00:34:33.44
as a witness to all nations,
and then the end shall come."
00:34:33.47\00:34:37.41
That is a gospel
message to all the nations
00:34:37.44\00:34:39.61
before the end of time.
00:34:39.64\00:34:41.31
In fact, this
message is so important,
00:34:41.34\00:34:44.45
it's a contributing factor
to the close of probation.
00:34:44.48\00:34:47.95
GYC I believe in the
three angels' message.
00:34:47.98\00:34:52.42
The Gospel of Matthew 24:14
00:34:52.45\00:34:54.86
is the three angels'
message of Revelation 14:6-11.
00:34:54.89\00:34:59.93
This three angels'
message calls the world
00:34:59.96\00:35:02.76
back to the
worship of the true God,
00:35:02.80\00:35:04.67
the only God, the creator.
00:35:04.70\00:35:06.90
It is an appeal
to all walks of life
00:35:06.94\00:35:08.80
depicted by every
nation, kindred, tongue,
00:35:08.84\00:35:11.71
nation, and
people to reveal God as
00:35:11.74\00:35:14.28
and give Him praise and
honor Him as He deserves.
00:35:14.31\00:35:17.65
It is a timely
appeal to a fallen ones
00:35:17.68\00:35:20.35
will wake from spiritual
stupor and false worship.
00:35:20.38\00:35:25.22
It is a final
warning, a final warning
00:35:25.25\00:35:27.56
to appeal to those who
have not had the fame of Jesus
00:35:27.59\00:35:30.66
near and afar to
make decisions for Him.
00:35:30.69\00:35:35.53
But the three angels' message
is not just a passive message
00:35:35.56\00:35:38.33
for our understanding,
00:35:38.37\00:35:39.70
it is a practical
message for our participation.
00:35:39.73\00:35:43.30
For this global
message to reach all nations,
00:35:43.34\00:35:46.17
it will take the involvement
of every Seventh-day Adventist
00:35:46.21\00:35:50.88
great or small, young or old.
00:35:50.91\00:35:54.02
God has allowed us to be in
different parts of the globe
00:35:54.05\00:35:56.22
to be an
influence within our sphere.
00:35:56.25\00:35:58.55
The children constantly sing,
00:35:58.59\00:36:00.79
"Brighten the
corner where you are."
00:36:00.82\00:36:05.56
You see, the
three angels' message
00:36:05.59\00:36:06.93
is not only for
church leaders, pastors,
00:36:06.96\00:36:09.76
and you don't even
have to have a ministry,
00:36:09.80\00:36:11.63
an organized ministry.
00:36:11.67\00:36:13.10
You just have to get involved.
00:36:13.13\00:36:16.57
I believe in the
three angels' message
00:36:16.60\00:36:18.17
because I believe it
will equip the world,
00:36:18.21\00:36:21.14
it will prepare the world.
00:36:21.18\00:36:22.74
And because of the effectiveness
00:36:22.78\00:36:24.18
of the three angels' message,
with all our participation
00:36:24.21\00:36:27.12
it will bring out
the greatest harvest.
00:36:27.15\00:36:32.29
The three angels
will prepare a world
00:36:32.32\00:36:34.82
ready to receive its Messiah.
00:36:34.86\00:36:37.86
Now, the effectiveness
of the three angels' message
00:36:37.89\00:36:40.46
does not depend on the messenger
00:36:40.50\00:36:41.83
that is depicted as the angel.
00:36:41.86\00:36:44.87
Sometimes we slack back
in time because we are not...
00:36:44.90\00:36:48.24
We feel we are not fully
equipped to be the messenger.
00:36:48.27\00:36:51.04
I want to give you a
story in the Book of John 4.
00:36:51.07\00:36:55.64
You see there was
a woman of Samaria.
00:36:55.68\00:36:59.01
She was a broken
person, so many of you can say,
00:36:59.05\00:37:01.18
I'm not equipped to
go and affect people
00:37:01.22\00:37:03.32
within my sphere.
00:37:03.35\00:37:04.99
But the woman of
Samaria went to the well
00:37:05.02\00:37:07.62
not wanting to speak
to the people of Samaria,
00:37:07.66\00:37:09.59
she went at the drink time.
00:37:09.62\00:37:11.36
But then she had an
experience with Jesus.
00:37:11.39\00:37:14.26
The minute she had an
experience with Jesus,
00:37:14.30\00:37:16.10
she went back to
the very same people
00:37:16.13\00:37:18.30
she did not want
to associate with.
00:37:18.33\00:37:20.17
She said, "Come, see a
man who told me everything
00:37:20.20\00:37:22.40
I ever did."
00:37:22.44\00:37:23.77
You see the
effectiveness of the messenger
00:37:23.81\00:37:26.47
is a connection with Jesus.
00:37:26.51\00:37:28.48
So are you broken
today, maybe disabled,
00:37:28.51\00:37:31.81
you feel you are not
adequate for this message,
00:37:31.85\00:37:34.95
all you need is a
connection with Jesus.
00:37:34.98\00:37:41.06
In Abraham's prayer, he
said something very important,
00:37:41.09\00:37:44.29
quoting the book
Patriarchs and Prophets,
00:37:44.33\00:37:45.93
The Test of Faith.
00:37:45.96\00:37:47.60
Every hour some are passing
beyond the reach of mercy.
00:37:47.63\00:37:50.90
And where are the
voices of warning and entreaty
00:37:50.93\00:37:53.00
to bid the sinner to
flee from this fearful doom?
00:37:53.03\00:37:55.74
Where are the hands
stretched out to draw him back
00:37:55.77\00:37:57.57
from death?
00:37:57.61\00:37:58.94
And where are those who
with humility persevering faith
00:37:58.97\00:38:01.71
and pleading with God for him?"
00:38:01.74\00:38:04.51
I believe in the
three angels' message,
00:38:04.55\00:38:06.88
you believe in the
three angels' message,
00:38:06.92\00:38:08.85
most Seventh-day Adventist
will even memorize this verse.
00:38:08.88\00:38:13.05
So if we all believe in
the three angels' message,
00:38:13.09\00:38:15.99
why are there very
few people doing the work?
00:38:16.02\00:38:19.43
This global work
that should involve
00:38:19.46\00:38:21.56
every
Seventh-day Adventist member,
00:38:21.60\00:38:23.77
why are there
just a few handfuls?
00:38:23.80\00:38:26.53
This global work that
is equipping the world
00:38:26.57\00:38:28.60
and preparing the
world to be a great harvest
00:38:28.64\00:38:30.54
before the return of Jesus,
why is there just a handful?
00:38:30.57\00:38:34.84
You see, to
believe is not important,
00:38:34.88\00:38:37.01
to believe is to
lead you to go to work.
00:38:37.05\00:38:39.81
To say we believe in
the three angels' message
00:38:39.85\00:38:42.35
is to say we
believe to be messengers.
00:38:42.38\00:38:45.25
The power of the
messengers as depicted by angels
00:38:45.29\00:38:48.36
is because angels are constantly
00:38:48.39\00:38:50.29
in the presence of God.
00:38:50.33\00:38:51.89
It is the presence
of God that makes angels
00:38:51.93\00:38:54.86
effective in their work.
00:38:54.90\00:38:56.60
GYC, I want to challenge you,
00:38:56.63\00:38:58.87
when you go back to
your homes after GYC is over,
00:38:58.90\00:39:02.50
you have had an
experience with Jesus,
00:39:02.54\00:39:04.94
you believe in the
Three Angels' Message,
00:39:04.97\00:39:07.11
it is now time to go
and put it in practice.
00:39:07.14\00:39:10.21
Amen.
00:39:10.25\00:39:11.71
In his call Isaiah
saw the Lord lofty,
00:39:11.75\00:39:14.08
and high, and lifted
up and the Lord said,
00:39:14.12\00:39:16.32
"Who will go for us?
00:39:16.35\00:39:17.69
Whom shall we send?"
00:39:17.72\00:39:19.39
Isaiah's answer was
very solemn, he said,
00:39:19.42\00:39:22.62
"Here I am Lord, send me."
00:39:22.66\00:39:25.13
And today I want
to ask you a question,
00:39:25.16\00:39:27.20
how many in the
audience can say,
00:39:27.23\00:39:28.83
"Here I am Lord, send me."
00:39:28.86\00:39:32.20
May the Lord bless you.
00:39:32.23\00:39:33.80
Amen.
00:39:36.94\00:39:39.14
I can't believe that
Sabbath is already over.
00:39:39.17\00:39:44.08
These are just
one of the Sabbaths
00:39:44.11\00:39:45.68
that you don't want to end.
00:39:45.71\00:39:47.58
Amen. Amen.
00:39:47.62\00:39:49.58
And it's not just the
Sabbath is over, 2016 is over.
00:39:49.62\00:39:55.29
The sun is already
set, so Happy New Year.
00:39:55.32\00:39:58.03
Happy New Year.
00:39:58.06\00:39:59.39
And speaking
about Happy New Year,
00:39:59.43\00:40:01.36
we will have a
consecration program
00:40:01.40\00:40:03.26
tonight at 10 pm.
00:40:03.30\00:40:04.93
It will be
behind the prayer room,
00:40:04.97\00:40:07.60
general assembly A,
and for those people
00:40:07.64\00:40:09.84
who are planning to
go to the prayer room,
00:40:09.87\00:40:11.34
go to the general
assembly A instead
00:40:11.37\00:40:13.64
because we'll be
having thanksgiving
00:40:13.68\00:40:15.94
and prayer as well.
00:40:15.98\00:40:17.55
So we will be
meeting the New Year
00:40:17.58\00:40:19.78
with thanksgiving and prayer.
00:40:19.81\00:40:21.72
Tonight, I'd like
to introduce to you
00:40:21.75\00:40:24.19
to three wonderful young
people that I have met last June
00:40:24.22\00:40:27.32
when I went to
Vancouver, Canada.
00:40:27.36\00:40:29.99
And I went there for
a very surprised visit,
00:40:30.03\00:40:34.06
I was even surprised.
00:40:34.10\00:40:36.50
And God is just so good
that He has a lot of surprises
00:40:36.53\00:40:39.60
if we obey His will.
00:40:39.63\00:40:40.97
Amen. Amen.
00:40:41.00\00:40:42.34
And these are the three examples
00:40:42.37\00:40:44.34
of young people who
obey the Lord's will,
00:40:44.37\00:40:46.54
who could not just sit
down, relax, and soak in
00:40:46.57\00:40:51.01
and now they took action.
00:40:51.05\00:40:52.68
So, Chermilyn,
tell me what happened?
00:40:52.71\00:40:56.89
So two years ago we
started a church plant
00:40:56.92\00:41:00.66
and because most
of our church members
00:41:00.69\00:41:03.06
are not familiar
with growing a church,
00:41:03.09\00:41:05.79
we decided to just
dedicate it all to God.
00:41:05.83\00:41:08.53
So every Sabbath before
we start Sabbath school,
00:41:08.56\00:41:12.03
we gather all the
early church members,
00:41:12.07\00:41:15.04
heads of the pulpit and
just conduct united prayer.
00:41:15.07\00:41:20.14
And through all of
this we have experienced
00:41:20.18\00:41:23.78
so many blessings
00:41:23.81\00:41:25.15
and has truly been
such a blessing to us.
00:41:25.18\00:41:26.95
Amen.
00:41:26.98\00:41:28.32
Also recently, I
think, last week actually,
00:41:28.35\00:41:31.32
we had divine service
that was focused on prayer.
00:41:31.35\00:41:36.02
Wow.
00:41:36.06\00:41:37.39
We had youth come up
00:41:37.43\00:41:38.76
and just share
their personal testimonies
00:41:38.79\00:41:40.53
of how God
answered all their prayers
00:41:40.56\00:41:43.26
and we also decide to
end by having united prayer
00:41:43.30\00:41:47.10
with all the church members.
00:41:47.14\00:41:48.57
By the time we finished
praying it was already 2 pm,
00:41:48.60\00:41:52.41
but instead of
complaining over hunger,
00:41:52.44\00:41:54.68
we just praised God that
He filled us up spiritually.
00:41:54.71\00:41:57.48
Amen.
00:41:57.51\00:41:59.51
Young people not
complaining of hunger,
00:41:59.55\00:42:01.62
that is the Holy Spirit.
00:42:01.65\00:42:04.42
Abby, tell us
about your testimony?
00:42:04.45\00:42:07.62
So all started when Castor
Gem visited us at Vancouver
00:42:07.66\00:42:11.76
like he said and he
was actually the one
00:42:11.79\00:42:14.26
who introduced united
prayer to our youth group
00:42:14.30\00:42:17.70
and after hearing about
that, we were all so inspired
00:42:17.73\00:42:20.87
because we never knew that like,
00:42:20.90\00:42:22.94
there was such
a beautiful method
00:42:22.97\00:42:24.74
of just communicating with God.
00:42:24.77\00:42:26.74
And since the three
of us were all involved
00:42:26.78\00:42:29.41
with leadership positions
00:42:29.44\00:42:30.95
and our student
council at school,
00:42:30.98\00:42:33.58
we all felt very impressed
to incorporate united prayer
00:42:33.62\00:42:37.85
with our teachers as
well as the other members
00:42:37.89\00:42:41.09
that were in
our student council.
00:42:41.12\00:42:43.12
Praying with the teachers
00:42:43.16\00:42:44.49
created such an
atmosphere of unity
00:42:44.53\00:42:47.56
and we all felt
comfortable enough
00:42:47.60\00:42:50.30
to really pour out our
hearts and by doing that
00:42:50.33\00:42:53.47
we were able to
understand the burdens
00:42:53.50\00:42:55.64
that everyone was going through.
00:42:55.67\00:42:57.37
And I believe that
this was such a blessing
00:42:57.41\00:43:00.08
because we were able to
become aware of the burdens
00:43:00.11\00:43:05.05
that the teachers
were going through
00:43:05.08\00:43:06.41
and they were also
aware to know the burdens
00:43:06.45\00:43:10.39
that we were
going through as well.
00:43:10.42\00:43:12.55
The students and the teachers
gave all positive feedback
00:43:12.59\00:43:16.49
after the united
prayer, and I really believe
00:43:16.52\00:43:19.19
that everyone was truly blessed.
00:43:19.23\00:43:21.16
And our main focus
and goal for our school
00:43:21.20\00:43:24.33
is to really bring back
the presence of the Holy Spirit
00:43:24.37\00:43:27.54
into the atmosphere.
00:43:27.57\00:43:29.17
And rather than beholding
worldly things in our hearts,
00:43:29.20\00:43:33.21
we aim to have Jesus'
heart and by doing that
00:43:33.24\00:43:37.18
His character will be
able to shine evidently
00:43:37.21\00:43:39.58
throughout our entire school.
00:43:39.61\00:43:41.12
Amen.
00:43:41.15\00:43:42.85
Such a wonderful testimony.
00:43:42.88\00:43:45.45
Thank you so much, Abby.
00:43:45.49\00:43:46.82
Now, Lyla, tell us?
00:43:46.86\00:43:48.69
It started when
two youth leaders
00:43:48.72\00:43:51.09
inspired us to pray
early in the morning.
00:43:51.13\00:43:54.96
They shared a
testimony where they prayed
00:43:55.00\00:43:57.47
at like 5 or 6 am
and they started saying
00:43:57.50\00:44:00.77
how happy and
blessed their day was.
00:44:00.80\00:44:02.90
So as youth we wanted
to see that experience too.
00:44:02.94\00:44:06.41
And so we started
having prayer partners
00:44:06.44\00:44:09.64
and we started
praying at 5, 6 am
00:44:09.68\00:44:12.51
and we noticed how blessed
and happy our days were too.
00:44:12.55\00:44:15.75
And as soon as we knew it,
00:44:15.78\00:44:17.85
almost all our youth
group had a prayer partner.
00:44:17.89\00:44:21.19
And personally for my
prayer partner experience,
00:44:21.22\00:44:24.69
we usually start by
flipping to a devotional,
00:44:24.73\00:44:27.76
and I noticed how the devotional
00:44:27.80\00:44:30.07
matches with our day,
00:44:30.10\00:44:31.43
and praying in the united prayer
00:44:31.47\00:44:33.07
with my prayer
partner, it makes me realize
00:44:33.10\00:44:37.47
overcoming the
challenges of the sinful world
00:44:37.51\00:44:39.77
and it really blesses
me and my prayer partner.
00:44:39.81\00:44:43.38
And I encourage everyone here
that you have a prayer partner
00:44:43.41\00:44:48.78
and when you pray fervently
on that prayer partner,
00:44:48.82\00:44:53.66
you will find that person.
00:44:53.69\00:44:56.09
And I pray that
miracles will be shown.
00:44:56.12\00:45:00.06
Amen. And you know what?
00:45:00.10\00:45:02.20
Their prayer partner was stopped
00:45:02.23\00:45:03.57
with a lot of prayer requests.
00:45:03.60\00:45:04.93
And one prayer
request was for a person
00:45:04.97\00:45:06.97
who has brain aneurysm.
00:45:07.00\00:45:08.97
And before the doctor
00:45:09.00\00:45:10.84
could even
operate the prayer groups,
00:45:10.87\00:45:13.27
the prayer partners
prayed and they even fasted,
00:45:13.31\00:45:16.85
make long story
short, operation was done,
00:45:16.88\00:45:19.75
doctor opened up the skull,
00:45:19.78\00:45:22.32
checked the
aneurysm, it was not there.
00:45:22.35\00:45:25.52
This is the power of
prayer, my dear friends.
00:45:25.55\00:45:27.89
And I'd like to
read this beautiful quote
00:45:27.92\00:45:30.23
before we get on our knees.
00:45:30.26\00:45:32.59
Ministry of
Healing, page 159 it says,
00:45:32.63\00:45:35.43
"To everyone who offers
himself to the Lord for service,
00:45:35.46\00:45:40.17
withholding
nothing, is given the power
00:45:40.20\00:45:43.04
for the attainment
of measureless results."
00:45:43.07\00:45:46.14
These are just
young high school students
00:45:46.17\00:45:49.31
but they decided to
give their lives to the Lord.
00:45:49.34\00:45:51.85
How about you?
00:45:51.88\00:45:53.21
Do not let GYC
stay here in Houston,
00:45:53.25\00:45:56.85
bring it back home,
bring it in your churches,
00:45:56.89\00:45:59.59
bring it in your
schools, bring it in your home.
00:45:59.62\00:46:02.12
Let us kneel down and
let us spend one minute
00:46:02.16\00:46:06.56
and let us pray
for that commitment
00:46:06.59\00:46:08.20
that we have made in our hearts
00:46:08.23\00:46:09.76
that the conviction of
the Lord that we will respond.
00:46:09.80\00:46:12.80
Let us start praying.
00:46:16.24\00:46:17.87
I have decided to follow Jesus
00:46:23.85\00:46:30.72
I have decided
00:46:30.75\00:46:34.99
To follow Jesus
00:46:35.02\00:46:39.06
I have decided to follow Jesus
00:46:39.09\00:46:45.97
No turning back, no turning back
00:46:46.00\00:46:52.67
Dear Father, by Your
grace and by Your Spirit,
00:46:52.71\00:46:56.78
help us, Lord, to follow You
and this time, no turning back.
00:46:56.81\00:47:01.02
For we pray this
in the loving name
00:47:01.05\00:47:02.58
of Your Son Jesus, all
your children say, Amen.
00:47:02.62\00:47:06.25
In this world
00:47:19.27\00:47:22.77
I walk alone
00:47:22.80\00:47:27.21
With no place
00:47:27.24\00:47:30.91
To call my home
00:47:30.95\00:47:35.55
But there's one
00:47:35.58\00:47:39.25
Who holds my hand
00:47:39.29\00:47:43.56
The rugged road
00:47:43.59\00:47:47.56
Through barren lands
00:47:47.60\00:47:51.70
The way is dark
00:47:56.24\00:48:00.04
The road is steep
00:48:00.08\00:48:04.18
But He's become
00:48:04.21\00:48:08.38
My eyes to see
00:48:08.42\00:48:12.55
The strength to climb
00:48:12.59\00:48:16.52
And my grief's to bear
00:48:16.56\00:48:20.96
The Savior lives
00:48:21.00\00:48:25.00
Inside me there
00:48:25.03\00:48:29.64
In your love
00:48:29.67\00:48:33.48
I find release
00:48:33.51\00:48:37.48
A haven from
00:48:37.51\00:48:41.62
My unbelief
00:48:41.65\00:48:46.29
Take my life
00:48:46.32\00:48:50.16
And let me be
00:48:50.19\00:48:54.10
A living prayer
00:48:54.13\00:48:58.13
My God to thee
00:48:58.17\00:49:02.34
In these trials
00:49:19.55\00:49:23.12
Of life I find
00:49:23.16\00:49:27.33
Another voice
00:49:27.36\00:49:31.30
Inside my mind
00:49:31.33\00:49:35.70
He comforts me
00:49:35.74\00:49:39.77
And He bids me live
00:49:39.81\00:49:44.05
Inside the love
00:49:44.08\00:49:47.98
The Father gives
00:49:48.02\00:49:52.59
In your love
00:49:52.62\00:49:56.29
I find release
00:49:56.32\00:50:00.20
A haven from
00:50:00.23\00:50:04.50
My unbelief
00:50:04.53\00:50:08.74
And take my life
00:50:08.77\00:50:12.71
And let me be
00:50:12.74\00:50:16.71
A living prayer
00:50:16.75\00:50:20.75
My God to thee
00:50:20.78\00:50:25.35
And take my life
00:50:25.39\00:50:29.09
And let me be
00:50:29.12\00:50:33.36
A living prayer
00:50:33.40\00:50:37.53
My God to thee
00:50:37.57\00:50:42.50
