00:49 Hello and happy Sabbath!
00:52 We welcome you once again to night #2 of Fall Camp Meeting 00:56 2016 where we feature the Spirit of God. 01:01 And we're talking about revival in our hearts 01:03 and throughout the world. 01:05 I'm C. A. Murray and this is Danny Shelton, 01:07 our president and our founder and he who is not supposed to 01:09 speak too much, so I'm just going to stand here in front 01:12 because we don't want him to talk too much. 01:14 Me and my shadow... 01:17 We could do something like that you know. 01:18 Some folks are old enough to remember that. 01:21 You know, when I came to 3ABN 01:22 one of the fleeces that I put down was "I've got to like 01:26 the head guy right away. " And from the time I met him 01:29 I've loved him. He's a good Christian man 01:32 and I respect him greatly. 01:33 Praise the Lord! We have a great time, don't we? 01:35 Indeed we do. We actually do hang out together. 01:38 C.A. says people ask him and they do us: 01:40 "Now you guys... we see you on the set all the time. 01:43 Do you really like each other? I mean, is that real? " 01:46 And we actually... When we're not on set we hang around. 01:49 We go eat places; we visit each other's homes 01:51 when we have time. Um-hmm. We just enjoy it. I mean, 01:53 we've got a great 3ABN family. Indeed we do! 01:56 Now we've got our extended family with us 01:58 and those around the world. Thank you for your love 02:00 and your prayers and financial support 02:02 of Three Angels Broadcasting Network. 02:04 Without you we couldn't possibly go anywhere. 02:08 We'd just be right here and no one would hear us 02:10 except those right here in the audience. 02:13 Amen... amen. Praise the Lord! What a time we're living 02:15 that we can speak... and as we speak right now, folks, 02:18 this is going around the world in a matter of like 2 seconds. 02:22 It's amazing! Can be seen and heard 02:25 by millions and, yea, even a billion or two 02:28 is what the evangelistic figures Mollie gives me. 02:32 That's very very true. That's a big potential - indeed - 02:34 so praise the Lord and thank you for what you do 02:36 for your support. And we praise the Lord! 02:38 Actually I think it's about three seconds, but I'll give you 02:41 that second 'cause you're getting old. Three seconds? 02:42 OK... all right. Now that's true... that's a true statement 02:46 you said. But you know what? You're young as you feel. 02:48 Is that what they say? Amen! I'm not sure that's true, but 02:51 it makes you feel good, right? Right. 02:53 People say you're just young as you feel. 02:54 Mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter 02:57 so it's all right. 03:00 All right. Well once again thank you for joining us. 03:02 For all of you. We have folks from a number of states 03:04 and a number of countries. 03:06 We're glad Tim is here, and since he's at the piano 03:08 what we're going to do... We're going to have Julia Outkina 03:11 come out in just a minute. Tremendous miracle stories, 03:14 testimonies. But Tim, I'm going to put you on the spot. 03:16 Maybe have you just play us something here quickly 03:19 and we'll bring Julia out meanwhile. 03:22 It's an excuse for me to get to hear Tim play. 03:24 What about you? Amen! You appreciate his music? 03:26 Praise the Lord! Thank you. 05:17 Amen! Beautiful! 05:20 That's put you in an attitude of worship, won't it? 05:23 I'm going to introduce Julia Outkina, but before I do 05:26 Julia, we want to have a word of prayer. 05:29 We had planned on having a video tonight. 05:31 She had about a 10-minute video and it's not going to be able 05:35 to be shown so I said: "You know what? 05:37 Maybe this is the Lord's will we don't have the video. 05:39 We'll just hear it straight from you. " 05:42 And so we want to pray and we want to ask God's 05:44 blessings on everybody here and those around the world 05:46 watching. And for those in the area where the Sabbath 05:50 is coming in we just want to bring in the Lord's Sabbath. 05:54 Father, we thank You for Your many wonderful blessings. 05:56 We thank you for life and for health and for strength. 06:00 And Lord, we thank You for this wonderful Sabbath. 06:03 We thank for this Camp Meeting that we have people here 06:06 and people watching literally around the world. 06:08 And it reminds us that soon and very soon 06:11 we'll be able to go home with You. 06:13 We'll live and rule and reign forever 06:15 and we'll have a continuous Camp Meeting... 06:17 be constant praising and magni- fying and glorifying Your name. 06:21 Father, I pray right now that each person here: 06:25 no one will leave this Camp Meeting the way they came. 06:28 That each of us will be drawn closer to You. 06:31 What a wonderful opportunity that we have here! 06:33 Thank you, Lord, that we can resubmit and recommit our lives 06:37 to You. And I pray that You will give us eye salve 06:39 that we can see. That we can catch a vision 06:42 that we are living in the clos- ing moments of earth's history 06:45 and that You have called us as Christians and Seventh-day 06:49 Adventist Christians - those of us here - 06:51 to take an undiluted three angels' messages, 06:54 one that would counteract the counterfeit, 06:56 into all the world. And I pray, Father, we know 06:59 that we can't... as Ivor said last night, pastor said last 07:03 night, we can't give what we don't have. 07:05 So I pray for revival and reformation 07:07 in each of our hearts and may we go tell others 07:10 what You have done for us. 07:12 Thank you for Your blessings, 07:13 for the anointing of Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray, 07:17 Amen. Amen! Sr. Julia... this is Julia Outkina, 07:20 and she is the executive director of the Russian 3ABN. 07:25 And how many know Julia and have seen her before? 07:28 All right? OK. For those of you that don't, 07:30 we... Julia came... In 1992 we went to Russia 07:35 with Pastor John Carter, and Elder Carter had an 07:39 evangelistic series in the town of Nizhny Novgorod, 07:42 formerly Gorky. 07:44 About 3-1/2 million people 07:46 and an Adventist church of only about 200 people... 07:50 something like that. 07:52 Julia was a professor. She's Dr. Julia Outkina. 07:55 Specialty - doctorate I guess - of linguistics 07:58 and her specialty was English. That's right. 08:01 And she intimidates me, by the way, 08:02 'cause she speaks much better English than I do. 08:05 And... But she had never really heard English spoken. 08:09 Ever spoken, right? And so when Elder Carter came 08:13 and 3ABN team was there, 08:16 she decided to come and just hear someone speaking 08:19 the language. That's right. But something happened to you. 08:22 Oh yes! You know, 08:27 I first was just listening to the language. 08:30 But Pastor Carter used the Bible so much 08:33 and he used such beautiful things from the Bible 08:37 it felt like this is what I had been looking for 08:40 all my life. You know, I was a Ph.D. in linguistics by that 08:44 time. I was married... I had my son. 08:47 My brother was the governor of the region, 08:49 the youngest governor in the whole country of Russia 08:53 with so much success. 08:56 And I was never sure of myself. 08:58 I was never confident... as if all that was not enough. 09:02 And then, you know, just lis- tening to the English language 09:07 first I believed, I don't know, in spite of myself 09:13 the message started penetrating my heart. 09:16 And I remember the words through which I was converted. 09:20 And of course, all the message was piling up, 09:24 piling up in my heart. The words that converted me were: 09:28 "Don't you know that you are a temple of the Holy Spirit? " 09:31 And I thought: "Oh, a sinful... I mean a simple 09:35 and sinful and ordinary person as I am 09:38 I AM the temple of the Holy Spirit! " This is how 09:41 I heard it. I am already the temple of the Holy Spirit. 09:46 He wants to dwell in me and He dwells in me 09:48 and He can dwell in me. So it was God's love 09:51 because He gave it to me in advance! 09:53 That He dwells in me even before I deserve it... 09:57 and I have never deserved it. 09:58 And I don't deserve it now either. 10:01 And so that was the moment when 10:05 His love penetrated my heart. I felt like I was showered with, 10:09 with light... with happiness. 10:12 And, you know, very soon after that 10:16 quite by chance humanly speaking 10:19 I was translating for Danny Shelton, who was meeting with 10:22 the conference president there in our conference. 10:27 And very soon I started working as a translator. 10:30 Next summer it will be twenty-five years 10:36 since that happened. And I want to introduce these guys 10:41 because you know they are the fruit of those evangelistic 10:45 series also. Alexey Britov: he is our 10:48 new general manager. He was converted at the age of 13 10:53 through Pastor Carter's meetings in 1993. 11:00 Then he became a pastor; 11:03 then he has expertise in business. 11:07 And then the Lord put us together. 11:10 So he is new general manager for 3ABN Russia. 11:13 Very thankful to the Lord for him! 11:15 Vadim, his grandparents and his parents 11:18 were in the underground church during the Communist times. 11:23 They were hiding to try to make copies of the Spirit of Prophecy 11:27 pages in the cell so that the sound of the typewriter 11:32 is not heard outside. And he said that 11:36 his first visit to the church was when he was two days old. 11:42 And he is our production coordinator 11:45 and does a lot of different things. 11:48 So actually, you know, the Lord is performing 11:52 miracles through us, through the human vessels 11:58 who seem to be so, you know, simple 12:02 but who are willing to serve the Lord 12:05 and who are willing to help people to find Him. 12:08 Then He can do miracles. Amen! 12:10 And the first time I met Julia we actually... I was... 12:14 John Carter and I were called into the governor's office 12:17 to throw us out of the country. 12:19 So Elder Carter knocked on my door at the hotel 12:23 and he said: "Danny, we've been summoned to the governor's 12:27 mansion. " I said: "What for? " 12:29 He said: "I don't know, but there are some... " 12:31 I said: "I don't think I want to go. Why don't you go? " 12:33 He says: "Look, there's about 4 armed guards 12:37 right here, and they say we're both going. " 12:39 I said: "All right... we'll both go! " 12:41 So I showed up, and a young, very good looking 12:45 34-year-old I think governor - youngest governor... 12:48 Around 34, 35- yeah - by then? 12:50 I was 39 when I was converted and he was six years younger 12:55 than myself. Thirty-three or so years old. 12:57 And U.S. News and World Report had said 13:00 that he was very progressive and he actually was not Communist. 13:04 That Communism had just fallen 13:06 and that he was very progressive. So we went 13:09 in to talk to him. And so basically through translators, 13:13 we went with the church leaders, 13:14 they told us to get out of Russia. 13:16 We had had a baptism and baptized 2,532 people. 13:21 And so... This would never... 20,000 people a night 13:25 were showing up for meetings that would only hold 6,000 13:28 people... auditorium. 13:31 And we were cramming in 7,000 and we would hold three meetings 13:33 a night. Amazing for these folk to be coming like this! 13:37 And so we didn't know if anybody would come 13:39 because we didn't know what to expect. 13:42 But the Lord opened up the doors for us to go there. 13:45 And so when I was at the governor's office 13:48 it's one of the few times in my life 13:51 that I didn't say anything for almost an hour! 13:54 Elder Carter was speaking, and he spoke under anointing 13:57 of the Holy Spirit... so I had sense enough to be quiet. 14:00 But he told the governor: "Look, you can kick us out 14:03 but you can't take away Jesus in the hearts of the people 14:06 that are here. " And so he said: "They're going to continue 14:10 and more Adventists will come to give the message. " 14:13 And he was very... So I'm thinking: "Well, they're going 14:15 to put us in jail... throw the key away. " 14:17 Because here you are, I mean, they had armed guards 14:20 everywhere. The governor didn't know us. 14:22 We didn't know Julia, but Julia came to visit 14:25 that day your brother. And you I guess peeked through the door 14:28 and saw us there, right? Yeah, that's right. 14:30 I don't believe in coincidences any more 14:33 because they came there for a meeting. I had never known them. 14:37 Each meeting I was in the far- thest part of the auditorium. 14:43 I was bashful, you know, just to come and speak to any of the 14:48 foreigners there. I would just be very quiet. 14:51 But for some reason that day... And by the way, 14:54 you know, they were not guarding my brother's office too much 14:58 at all because no one just asked me why I was going there. 15:02 I could come to his office when I needed. 15:05 And so for some reason I came that day and I looked 15:08 through the back door where his room was... 15:12 room to rest... to spend some time alone. 15:17 And then I looked through the door and I saw Danny there, 15:20 I saw Pastor Carter there. 15:22 And then after their meeting was over I came up to them. 15:26 This was the first time that I approached them, 15:28 and actually this is how we met. 15:31 And then again by another so to say coincidence 15:34 I was translating for the meeting at the conference. 15:38 Well, it looked like we were out of Russia. 15:41 Leaving not of our own will. 15:44 And the governor said to Elder Carter, I'll never forget this, 15:50 "Why do you think you have to baptize people? 15:52 Our people are Orthodox. They're born that way. 15:55 They're Russian Orthodox. 15:56 What can you give them that the Russian Orthodox church 16:00 can't give? " Elder Carter said: "Governor, 16:03 I've received about 6,000 letters since I've been here. 16:05 Most of them are in Russian... I'm having people translate... 16:09 but one is written in beautiful English. " 16:11 And he said: "I'd like to read it. May I read it? " 16:15 And the governor kind of nodded his head. 16:17 So it started out and said: "Dear Elder Carter, 16:20 thank you so much for coming. You brought me out of darkness 16:22 into marvelous light. " And it was a testimony... 16:26 a fabulous testimony. And the governor was just so-so about it 16:30 and he was listening... being kind enough to listen. 16:33 And at the very end he said: 16:35 "Signed by Julia Outkina. " 16:38 And the governor said: "What? Who? Let me see that letter. " 16:42 He goes: "That's my sister! That's my sister! " 16:46 Now, is that coincidence or divine providence? 16:49 At that moment, cause there were some, I guess, 16:52 news folk outside 16:55 and they wanted to comment on the stories, 16:59 write about them. So at that minute he suddenly changed. 17:03 He said: "Listen... " The archbishop was there. 17:06 I don't know if you call him that? Nicoli. 17:07 Nicoli? Yeah. OK. He was there, too, and he 17:10 he was not happy at all... but he was happy when we 17:12 were gettin' run out. But then the governor says: 17:14 "Look, here's what we're going to do: 17:16 we have to work together. We have to allow these folk 17:19 to stay in Russia. " He said: "We have a bigger enemy 17:23 than each other... and that's Communism. " 17:25 So he said: "Mr. Shelton, Mr. Carter, 17:28 and Archbishop Nicoli? Archbishop Nicoli 17:32 get here, and we want... when the news media comes in 17:36 we want you to be smiling" he told Nicoli. 17:38 "You be smiling and you be shaking hands. " 17:41 And so that's what we did. 17:43 And as we built the facility 13 businesses were privatized 17:47 by foreign countries. They actually sold. 17:49 It was the first region to do that. 17:51 And all the businesses except 3ABN actually fail to exist 17:56 any more. But Julia's brother became a great asset 17:59 to 3ABN and Julia also. 18:02 And without him I have to say 18:04 God put him there for such an hour as that 18:07 because we were able... Then he went up on 18:09 into... Went for Yeltsin, I think, was... worked for 18:12 Yeltsin's administration. He was the first deputy prime minister 18:16 of Russia - yeah - in Yeltsin's government. 18:18 And then after that he became... actually 18:22 an independent... they call it opposition - yes - leader. 18:24 And some of you may know... It's only been about a year 18:26 and a half? Yeah... February the 27th 18:30 it'll be two years. So about a year and a half ago 18:33 it was on national news. I'm sure you saw it. 18:36 Her brother was killed in the... 18:39 in Red Square because he was in opposition to the government. 18:44 And so it made national news. He was known around the world. 18:47 He'd even done an interview with CNN 18:49 before that saying this would probably happen to him. 18:52 Um-hmm. But I'm so thankful 18:55 and I know it's from your parents and your mother 18:58 raising you because what I saw in him I saw in Julia. 19:01 They wanted truth and they were willing to stand up for truth 19:04 against all odds. And Julia has done that. Yes. 19:08 And then not long after that she gets home... 19:10 and has it been about a year now? 19:12 It was in July last year. 19:16 Last July then her husband 19:20 was in an accident and died. 19:23 So Julia has lost her brother and her husband 19:26 in the last less than two years. 19:28 So, she's been through a tremendous amount of stress 19:33 and emotions that you go through. Those of you who have 19:36 lost loved ones like that so close to you 19:39 but yet she's strong in the Lord. 19:40 And I'm amazed at her strength 19:42 and only God could give her this. 19:44 What I want you to talk about for just a couple minutes 19:46 is the miracles. We went on satellite 19:49 and praise the Lord it's been a couple years ago. Um-hmm. 19:54 Went on satellite to Russia because we wanted to reach 19:57 a lot more places and to be available. 20:00 Well, the cable stations are growing really fast 20:04 and they need programming. And so the last two years 20:07 it's $12,000 a month. 20:09 We went to Israel, and didn't know how we were going to do it 20:12 and someone said: "I'll pay that for you this year. " 20:15 Then the next year they did it again. 20:17 So tell us... I want you to update for the folks 20:21 what is happening because there's a law that we've been 20:24 hearing about here in America that says... the Russians passed 20:27 a law that you can no longer do public evangelism. 20:30 You can't proselytize; you can't do any of these things. 20:34 Tell us about it. Step up here just a little closer. 20:37 And then tell us about the cable stations that are now 20:40 carrying 3ABN. OK. 20:42 November 23 will be two years that we are on satellite 20:48 24/7 in Russia. 20:50 In Russia satellite is becoming a very very big 20:55 means of reaching people. 20:59 For very many years during Communism there were less than 21:04 ten major channels controlled by the government 21:09 and no cable companies. 21:11 Now they are more and more into private business 21:14 and they realize that cable can be profitable. 21:18 And so there are very many cable companies 21:21 that just sprout and they are short of content. 21:25 They need content. They want to present a good package of 21:28 programming to their viewers. 21:30 And so they approach us themselves 21:33 through our website searching for new programming 21:38 and finding what good programming we have. 21:42 And you know, when this law was passed 21:46 recently we were afraid. We just thought: 21:49 "Oh, what is going to happen? " 21:50 Because all these cable companies now may become scared 21:53 and just not want us any more. 21:56 You know, when the Lord has His way 21:59 that no government and no human can stand in His way. 22:03 That's right! So first of all 22:07 I'm very thankful to all those people 22:10 whose hearts were with Russia at that moment 22:13 when they were presenting the draft of that law 22:16 because that was a bad law with bad wording in it. 22:21 Against... it was a law against terrorism, but 22:26 within the law they put that part that 22:30 meeting as a religious group may be considered as... 22:34 or may be used for bad purposes. 22:38 And the wording could be used in such a big variety of ways 22:44 so, yes, people really got concerned. 22:47 Let me tell you that two hours before the law was passed 22:51 they had a directive from the president's office 22:55 that the wording was wrong 22:56 and that the wording should be changed. 22:59 And just two hours before the law was passed 23:01 the wording became - you know - very mild 23:05 and just none of those restrictions 23:10 that we were scared by at the beginning. No! None of them 23:14 are in the law. So... And those cables keep wanting us 23:18 and they keep calling us. 23:22 Let me give you the recent example. 23:25 First of all, to give you the general figures 23:28 we are on about sixty cable companies. 23:32 They are covering about 60 million potential viewers 23:37 in Russia. Can you imagine that? 23:39 We have about 130 million - about - 130 million 23:46 people in Russia, and half of it is already reached 23:49 by the stations who have contract relations with us. 23:55 So... let me tell you a miracle about 24:01 the Muslim outreach. I had no idea until I came here 24:05 that it is a really God-ordained trend 24:10 in the whole of the Adventist church. 24:13 I didn't know about that, but I learned about it 24:15 after I came to 3ABN. 24:17 But what happened there in Russia: 24:19 we went to one presentation that was in Zaoksky Theological 24:24 Seminary. It was a Bible conference for pastors 24:27 and we presented 3ABN Russia to them. 24:29 We tried to advertise our activities as much as we can 24:33 so that more companies, cable companies and local TV stations 24:38 want to take us. And after our presentation 24:42 a pastor who is Iranian by origin 24:45 who used to be a Muslim and who now is a SDA pastor 24:49 for Muslims in the Moscow region of Russia 24:52 which has a lot of immigrants from Muslim republics 24:55 and a lot of local people who are Muslims. 24:59 So he approached our general manager, Alexey, who you have 25:03 just met and said: "Alexey, I feel impressed 25:06 that I want to put together a series for Muslims 25:09 in Russia and I want it to be taped on 3ABN Russia. 25:12 What do you think? " And Alexey said: "Oh, yes, definitely so! 25:16 We want that! " And I'm so glad, you know, Alexey was brave enough 25:20 to say that because when he reported to me later 25:24 I just thought: "Oh... I'm not really sure 25:27 what the response of people may be. " 25:30 But I thought: "Oh, he has done it 25:32 so I believe it's from the Lord 25:34 so let us just go on with it. " 25:36 Then I started getting confirmations from the Lord 25:39 that this was the right thing to do. 25:42 There is a Muslim Republic in Russia which is called 25:47 Tartarstan - a huge region where about 80% of people 25:53 are Muslim. Well, they are not as, you know, 25:57 practice religion very much but they consider themselves Muslims 26:01 so they call themselves Muslims. 26:04 And they are Muslims. 26:05 So one of those new cable companies, the biggest in that 26:10 region has approached us before and said that we will be willing 26:14 to have your programming because we don't have enough 26:17 programming. Amen! And "Oh, yes! " we said... 26:21 "That's fine! " And then as soon as Alexey made 26:24 that agreement with the pastor to tape programs 26:27 immediately - I don't know, in an hour - he received a call 26:31 from our marketing department lady 26:33 and she said: "You know, I am amazed. The second largest 26:37 cable company of the same Tatarstan Muslim Republic 26:42 has called us and say that they want our programming also. " 26:47 So very quickly arrangement with the pastor was made in May. 26:52 In June we already taped the program. 26:55 Added some Arabic touch to the set. 26:59 Just very slight touches but it's very nice. 27:02 It's already on the air! Can somebody say amen? 27:06 I mean... is that amazing? 27:07 You see, sometimes we worry: how can we get done? 27:10 Folks told us to go to London. "Well people just aren't 27:13 spiritual there. They don't want to hear the truth. 27:15 It's a tough place to go. " I believe everybody - 27:18 every person on earth - has a homing device 27:21 and they're looking to where their home is. 27:23 And that homing device is the Lord Jesus Christ; it's heaven. 27:26 And so we're looking for some- thing; we're looking for truth. 27:29 So we say: "How're we going to reach the Muslims? " 27:32 You know what? God is so great 27:34 that He's... In our church all over people are saying 27:37 "How do we reach the Muslims? " No! God has a bigger plan: 27:40 the Muslims reach us. 27:42 They're reaching out to 3ABN Russia 27:44 literally thousands and hundreds of thousands of people 27:47 Muslims - will be watching 3ABN Russia. Can somebody say amen? 27:53 Yeah! All right! If you didn't, somebody next to you 27:56 check their pulse. We may need to get an ambulance. 27:58 Somebody may need to go 'cause you've got to be excited 28:01 about that! I mean, this is an amazing... 28:04 I mean, there are a billion and a half at least probably 28:06 Muslims in the world, and what an opportunity to get on 28:10 now two cable stations that have been requested 28:14 to put on 3ABN Russia. That's absolutely amazing! 28:18 One of the great blessings is because they have very little 28:22 programming. Cable stations are new 28:25 programmers so they want whatever programming. 28:27 But the fact that Adventists... we don't eat pork. 28:31 And there's a number of things that we have in... alcohol 28:35 and tobacco... things like that. 28:37 They see that and the healthy lifestyle 28:39 and they want this programming. So all I can say is a big praise 28:43 the Lord. We want you to think about it and pray about it. 28:46 We have to renew that contract in the next month or two. 28:49 And I can tell you - as always - we don't have the money 28:51 right now to do it, but through you we'll be able to do it. 28:55 So you pray and ask the Lord what He would have you to do 28:57 for Russia and for the great work. Thank you so much Julia. 29:00 God bless you, and I love you in the Lord, all right? 29:02 God bless you. All right. Thank you so much. Yes. 29:05 Wow! Isn't that exciting, folks? 29:07 I'm telling you... What we want to do: we're going 29:09 to get Reggie Smith out here. We're going to have some music 29:12 for the next several minutes. We've got several folks 29:14 that's going to come and bless. Anybody know Reggie? 29:16 Have you heard Reggie's music and singing? 29:18 Absolutely! Reggie, thank you so much for - you and Ladye - 29:21 for being here. You just got back from the 29:24 quartet convention. You sang there with the Hoppers. 29:27 Hopper Brothers 2.0. 2.0... OK. 29:30 And so also I'm sure you've seen him 29:32 on the Gaither videos and of course on 3ABN a lot. 29:35 But to me he and his wife Ladye... they're incredible 29:38 wonderful people that love Jesus with all their hearts 29:40 and some of the most fantastic singers and musicians 29:43 I've ever had the privilege of knowing. 29:45 The song you're going to do now is a song that the Lord gave to 29:48 Lanny Wolfe and me just a few months ago. 29:51 We put it on the Calvary project and hopefully they're going to 29:54 be able to put the screen back there to show what our... 29:57 That's a beautiful screen by the way, Danny. 29:59 Well it is, praise... I will say we were back stage 30:01 and listening to Julia's story. First of all, 30:03 she's an amazing lady and been through so much hardship. 30:06 Which we all go through hardship... Um-hmm. 30:09 But this is not much of a hard- ship, but as singers, you know, 30:12 we have allergies and things like that. 30:14 And I started noticing we were sneezing 30:16 on the side. Well, it's these trees in the back! 30:20 And these leaves! He's from Mississippi. 30:23 It's all right. It's OK... Don't worry about it. 30:25 Don't tell me any different... I think it's real. 30:26 Looks pretty real. Well, I think they're going to put 30:30 the scenery behind you as you sing this song 30:32 that the Lord gave us, and we give Him the credit. 30:34 Gethsemane. 30:51 All the way from heaven's splendor 30:57 robed in flesh, 31:00 born in a manger 31:04 Jesus came to set 31:08 the captives free. 31:15 "Father, not My will 31:19 but Thine be done" 31:22 was the prayer He prayed... 31:25 God's only Son. 31:28 So He drank the bitter cup 31:33 for you and me. 31:39 He suffered Gethsemane 31:45 through blood, sweat, and tears. 31:51 Each drop of blood He shed 31:56 bought me 31:58 a million years. 32:04 God's crowning sacrifice, 32:10 His spotless Lamb... 32:16 now risen from the grave 32:22 He is the Great I AM! 32:31 All alone, He felt forsaken. 32:37 In the garden, His heart was breaking... 32:43 yet He chose to die 32:48 on Calvary. 32:54 Jesus, blessed Savior 32:59 and Redeemer, 33:02 all to Him I now surrender. 33:08 Could I do less 33:11 after all He's done 33:15 for me? 33:19 He suffered Gethsemane 33:25 through blood, sweat, and tears. 33:31 Each drop of blood He shed 33:36 bought me 33:38 a million years. 33:43 God's crowning sacrifice, 33:50 His spotless Lamb... 33:56 now risen from the grave 34:01 He is 34:02 the Great I AM! 34:10 He could have left us 34:13 to die in our sin 34:17 alone... forever lost. 34:21 But grace would change 34:25 how the story ends 34:29 Jesus blood 34:30 would pay the cost! 34:40 He suffered Gethsemane 34:43 through blood, sweat, and tears. 34:49 Each drop of blood He shed 34:54 bought me 34:55 a million years. 35:00 God's crowning 35:04 sacrifice, 35:08 His spotless Lamb... 35:13 now risen from the grave 35:19 He is the Great 35:22 I AM! 35:26 God's crowning sacrifice, 35:32 His spotless 35:36 Lamb... 35:40 now risen from the grave 35:45 He is the Great I AM! 35:53 Now risen 35:55 from the grave 35:58 Jesus is 36:01 the Great 36:03 I AM! 36:13 Jesus is the Great 36:17 I AM! 36:32 Hallelujah! The Savior is risen! 36:38 He's not in the grave. 36:42 The hope of the world is Jesus 36:45 and that makes me excited. Does that make you excited? 36:49 That was a wonderful, wonderful song, as Danny said, written 36:53 by Danny and Mr. Wolfe. Who was it? 36:57 Lanny. I'm so sorry Lanny if you're watching. 37:00 I'm so very sorry. We're like this... 37:04 No... I tell you: to me that's a very inspired song 37:08 that they wrote. And Jesus gave them that 37:12 the night before we were to record the Calvary CD... 37:14 the night before. 37:16 Just in time... always. 37:18 I want to introduce somebody that's real special to me. 37:20 She's my honey... 37:23 my sweetheart of 21 years. Yeah! Come on out here baby. 37:30 I call her baby. You might call her Ladye. 37:34 A lot of people say "Well how in the world 37:37 could a mother... " I'm taking liberties. Sorry, honey. 37:41 "could a mother name a child Ladye Love? " 37:45 Well I thought: "Well maybe she's a hippie. " 37:48 "She's a flower child. " 37:51 No... she was older than that. 37:53 She was before that generation but she named her Ladye Love 37:57 and I'm so glad because she has been my love for 21 years. 38:01 And babe, I want you to sing a song - 38:04 another song that Danny wrote - called Calvary Says Love To Me. 38:07 And I love this song when you sing it, so please share. 38:26 In compassion and love 38:31 He looked down to earth 38:36 then He sent His Son... 38:40 born of a virgin birth. 38:46 He knew from creation 38:51 what was to be... 38:56 with great love for man 39:00 He planned Calvary. 39:08 Calvary says love 39:13 to me 39:18 like words 39:20 could never say. 39:27 The blood He shed 39:32 was love written in red: 39:38 Calvary says love 39:43 to me. 39:54 Separated by sin 40:00 was the whole human race. 40:05 Man was destined to die 40:09 were it not for grace. 40:15 A cross and three nails 40:19 never held Him there... 40:24 He willingly chose 40:30 the cross to bear. 40:37 Calvary says love 40:42 to me 40:46 like words 40:49 could never say. 40:56 The blood He shed 41:01 was love written in red: 41:07 Calvary says love 41:11 to me. 41:31 The blood He shed 41:35 was love written in red: 41:41 Calvary says love 41:46 to me... 41:51 The blood He shed 41:55 was love written in red: 42:03 Calvary says love 42:08 to me... 42:13 Calvary says love 42:22 to me! 43:02 When anyone looks at me 43:08 let them see Jesus. 43:14 Let me be a reflection 43:18 of His love and mercy to them. 43:28 When they start to read 43:31 my life story 43:34 I want it to bring my Savior glory... 43:40 when anyone looks at me 43:45 let them see Him. 43:54 I'm not lookin' for fortune 43:59 and I'm not seeking for fame. 44:05 I'm not so concerned 44:09 that all the world knows my name. 44:18 But I am concerned with one passion: 44:24 to tell what the Lord's done for me. 44:31 And I want my life 44:34 to shine with the light 44:37 so all those around me can see. 44:44 When anyone looks at me 44:49 let them see Jesus. 44:55 Let me be a reflection 45:00 of His love and mercy to them. 45:09 When they start to read 45:12 my life story 45:15 I want it to bring 45:18 my Savior glory. 45:22 When anyone looks at me 45:26 let them see Him. 45:34 Every good and perfect gift that I possess 45:40 was sent from the Father above. 45:46 In thanks for the way 45:49 that I've truly been blessed 45:53 I'll give from my heart 45:56 and give to the world His love. 46:06 When anyone looks at me 46:11 let them see Jesus. 46:18 Let me be a reflection 46:21 of His love and mercy 46:25 to them. 46:31 When they start to read 46:34 my life story 46:37 I want it to bring my Savior glory. 46:43 When anyone looks at me... 46:48 well, when anyone 46:52 looks at me... 46:56 when anyone looks at me 47:03 let them 47:06 see Him. 47:11 Mmm-mmm-mmm. 47:20 Thank you, Tammy.
