Amen. 01:14 We expect blessings to come. 01:16 We expect miracles to happen. 01:18 We expect lives to be changed. 01:20 We expect destinies to be rearranged. 01:22 We are looking for the blessing of our Lord and Savior 01:26 Jesus Christ... who is our honored guest. 01:28 Welcome to our in-house audience. 01:31 And for those of you around the world that are watching, 01:33 we welcome you to what we anticipate will be a wonderful 01:37 time in the Lord. We are going to experience 01:40 just a little bit of heaven during these next several days. 01:43 And we are so glad that you are here 01:45 but we are glad that the Spirit of God is here. 01:49 This wonderful crew of people you see behind me: 01:51 you know them well but I will take a moment to introduce them. 01:54 There to my far left Jill and Greg Morikone. 01:58 All the way from Australia: Sandra Entermann. 02:02 OK. Our pastor, our friend: Pastor John Lomacang. 02:06 Like that tie, pastor. The lady Shelley Quinn. 02:11 The lady Tammy Chance. 02:13 Our vice president and general manager: 02:15 the lady Mollie Steenson. 02:18 The lady Dr. Yvonne Lewis who I baptized 30+ years ago. 02:26 Mr. Danny Shelton, our founder and president. 02:29 His brother Kenny Shelton, he of Behold the Lamb Ministries. 02:32 Fine preacher; good guy; not a bad shooter, too. 02:36 And our CFO Mr. Brian Hamilton, who is 02:40 good with figures and is a pretty handy man with the Word 02:43 also. A good preacher and a good student of the Word. 02:46 So we are here and you are here and the presence of God is here. 02:48 And on the piano... oh yes! We call him "happy fingers. " 02:53 Tim Parton is with us. He is now the general manager 02:57 of our new Praise Him! Network. 03:01 And doing a very very fine job. And Tim is just a great guy. 03:04 Great spirit; great singer; great pianist; 03:06 great Christian; and a great friend of this ministry. 03:09 Yeah but I want to tell what he said... take just a moment 03:11 and tell what Tim said before you brag on him too much. 03:15 For the folks at home I was telling the audience here 03:17 I have to have vocal surgery on my vocal cords. 03:20 I've got a nodule and no way to get around it they tell me. 03:23 So I was telling Tim all... you know, how you do. 03:26 Said: "Yeah, I've got to have vocal surgery. Won't be able 03:29 to speak for three months. " And the doctor said: 03:32 "How long's this been bothering you? " 03:33 I said: "Well it started about two years ago. " 03:35 And Tim said... And I said: "They said if you'd done it 03:38 2 years ago maybe you wouldn't have to have the surgery. " 03:41 He said: "It's too bad they couldn't have found you a doctor 03:44 when you were a kid to help your face. " 03:51 That's all right 'cause you don't know the things I say 03:54 to him, right? But we love each other... honestly. 03:58 He's a wonderful incredible musician. Great guy. 04:01 I told him, I said: "That doesn't bother me a bit 04:03 'cause my dad used to say to me: 04:05 "Son, is your face hurting you? 04:07 I said: "No. " Feel of it. "Why? " 04:09 He said: "It's killing me! " 04:11 So... My 13th birthday... You want to be a man, right? 04:16 "Dad... I'm 13 today! " "No, son, you can't be that old. " 04:21 I said: "No, I'm 13 years old. " 04:24 "No, really? " "Yeah... why? " 04:26 "You couldn't of got that ugly in just 13 years! " 04:29 he said. So Tim, that's nothing. That's Little League 04:32 stuff you're giving me. All right? I'm used to it. 04:36 Praise the Lord! I think I'm going to change 04:38 the flavor here just a little. Pastor, what do you say? 04:40 We want to talk about and sing about heaven. 04:44 It's a song I'm sure you all know. I'm told the words 04:46 will be on the screen: When We All Get To Heaven. 04:54 All right, let's sing it: 06:41 Amen and amen! Very very well done. 06:44 Pastor John, I wonder if you could lead us in a prayer? 06:48 Let's bow our heads. 06:50 Our loving Father in heaven, as we begin this 06:54 time of worship and praise in Your holy presence 06:59 Father, remind us of how beautiful Christ... 07:03 His life... His sacrifice. 07:08 Lord, this door that He has opened for us 07:12 could not have been opened by anyone else. 07:15 And as we communicate this message of the emancipation 07:19 proclamation - the gospel, the good news - 07:22 we pray that through it all Jesus will be exalted. 07:26 Father, we focus on the sanctuary. 07:29 Christ, our High Priest, tonight is interceding in our behalf. 07:35 That the day will come soon when we can see Him face to face. 07:39 Amen! And so Lord, come down and fill this place 07:42 not only with the knowledge of Your glory 07:44 but may Your holy angels abide with us. 07:46 May the unseen guest, the power of Your Holy Spirit, 07:50 come and fill our souls. 07:52 May this be more than just sermons and messages 07:54 and music and fellowship. 07:56 But may this be a time of a season of refreshing 07:59 strengthening us for the journey that is ahead of us. 08:02 Father, we pray a blessing tonight not only on all those 08:05 who have come but all those who will proclaim this message, 08:08 those who will sing the message. And tonight, Father, 08:11 I lift up in a special way Danny, Lord, 08:13 as his voice is an issue. But Lord, you have given him 08:17 more than just a voice. You've given him a vision 08:19 and a heart of dedication. 08:21 So bless him, Lord, and strengthen each of us 08:24 for this Camp Meeting. And when it is done 08:25 may we know that we have been in Your presence. 08:28 In Jesus' precious and holy name, Amen. Amen! 08:32 I wonder if Tina can come out? 08:36 We have a special guest. I was looking for Mandy earlier. 08:39 I don't know if Mandy's out here... if she made it. 08:41 Where you at, Mandy? 08:43 Greg, can... Mandy, can you come up? 08:45 Can Greg maybe go help Mandy come up? 08:48 We've got Tina. Come on out here, Tina. 08:53 This is... It's so wonderful to be here! 08:56 I just look forward to Camp Meeting every year. 09:00 Oh, we look forward... Every year she and George come. 09:02 George is not with you? No he's not. 09:04 But he's being taken care of and I know he would love to be here. 09:08 Oh absolutely. I mean he thinks 100% of 3ABN. 09:11 I know, and so does Tina. She's been coming for years. 09:14 Some of the greatest supporters. Everywhere she goes 09:17 she tells people about 3ABN. She encourages them about it. 09:20 And also, she and George have been tremendous givers 09:23 to 3ABN. Sacrificially they give and support every way. 09:27 And so tonight I saw you here. And I said: "I saw Mandy earlier 09:30 and some of the folks that way back when we first started 09:33 having Camp Meetings ya'll been coming. So... 09:35 Thank you so much, Tina. We love you so much 09:39 and appreciate... Tell George that we love him. 09:41 I will... I certainly will. 09:43 And I know he'd love to be here. 09:45 All right. And I was just thinking... think about 3ABN 09:48 all the time in our lives. And I get a dozen of the 09:51 World magazines and I take and put them in different TV places 09:55 hoping that people will read them. OK! 09:58 All right. We try to put them to good use. 10:00 All right. Thank you so much. God bless. 10:03 Mandy, can you come over here a second? 10:05 Let me give you a hug. OK. 10:08 You look pretty tonight. Doesn't Mandy look pretty tonight? 10:12 Mandy's been through a lot in the last few years. 10:15 Been through cancer, right? I have a rare cancer! 10:18 It was called thymoma, and I wasn't supposed to be alive 10:21 today. But the Lord blessed me. 10:24 Said I have a lot of work to do. To come back to 3ABN 10:27 and see Danny and all the crew again one more time. 10:30 So when the "Blessing Is on the GO!" came by 10:33 I said: "I just can't miss it if I have to drive myself! " 10:36 I have a young lady named Tiliki... and she drove us. 10:42 She said: "Miss Andrews, I'll drive you. " 10:45 And so I just thank the Lord to be here. 10:47 Mandy would come in years past literally bringing sometimes 10:52 two busloads of people from Oakwood area. Literally 10:56 I'm talking about big busses like Greyhounds. Bring them up. 10:59 Sometimes in one bus load. 11:00 But she's done that for so many years. 11:03 Thank you for your love and prayers and financial support. 11:06 We love you, and we're praying for your continued healing 11:09 in your life. OK. I'm praying for you, Danny. 11:12 The Lord has used you in a might way... 11:14 He's not through with you yet! 11:15 All right. Well let's both plan on... if the Lord doesn't come 11:19 let's plan on being here next Camp Meeting together, right? 11:22 That's right. I sure will be here. If the Lord sees fit 11:25 for me to be here, I will be here! 11:27 All right. Thank you so much. God bless. 11:30 All right. You know, Ellen Whie says that there are 11:34 special blessings that are reserved for Camp Meeting. 11:36 It is in God's plan that there are special blessings, 11:39 special seasons, special times, when the Holy Spirit 11:42 draws very very close during the Camp Meeting season. 11:46 So let's pray for that, but let's look for that... 11:49 that God will have His way in our lives during the next 11:52 several days. Tonight's musical program: 11:54 we're just going to run through the names, and rather than 11:57 come out and introduce each one behind each one. 11:59 First we're going to hear from Sandra Entermann: 12:02 My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me. 12:04 Then our pastor John Lomacang will sing Cornerstone. 12:08 Then we move to the piano. Tim Parton will sing and play. 12:12 He can chew gum and talk at the same time, 12:15 bless your heart. Followed by Tammy Chance 12:19 and then I will close out this particular set. 12:22 But God is going to be here. Pray for each singer. 12:24 But pray for yourselves, too, that your hearts will be open 12:26 to the Spirit of God. Music is a form of worship. 12:29 And what we want to do is worship the Lord in spirit 12:32 and in truth over the next several days. 12:34 God bless you. 12:36 I just... I couldn't leave. 12:39 Sandra Entermann is one of my favorite singers, 12:42 but I just wanted to say one thing very quickly. 12:46 We're so excited about the "GO!" Evangelistic Team members 12:50 who are there. There were so many here today for our seminars 12:53 and I just wanted to mention to those of you at home 12:58 the ministry of Jesus Christ was a ministry of evangelism. 13:02 And He taught the crowds, and then He went and ministered 13:05 one on one... and thus He gave us the example 13:08 that we are to support world evangelism where the preachers 13:12 go out and teachers or 3ABN is going around the world, 13:16 and we are to personally witness. 13:19 And that's what makes the "Blessing on the GO! " 13:22 such an exciting program because you're doing both 13:27 when you become a "GO!" Evangelistic Team member. 13:30 You are supporting around the world 13:32 and you're supporting in your own neighborhood. 13:35 So we want to thank you and tell you: inside your bulletin 13:39 there is, for those of you who've yet to sign up... 13:42 You know, it is at the heart. Evangelism's at the heart 13:47 of the Great Commission, and it's our active obedience 13:52 to evangelize. So you can sign up. Give it to one of us 13:57 or put it in the offering plate this Sabbath. Thank you so much. 14:00 Sandra. 14:21 I trust in God 14:25 wherever I may be, 14:30 Upon the land 14:33 or on the rolling sea, 14:39 For come what may, 14:42 from day to day, 14:47 my heavn'ly Father watches 14:51 over me. 14:55 I trust in God, 15:00 I know He cares for me, 15:04 On mountain bleak 15:07 or on the stormy sea; 15:12 Tho' billows roll, 15:16 He keeps my soul, 15:20 My heavn'ly Father 15:23 watches over me. 15:40 He makes the rose 15:44 an object of His care, 15:49 He guides the eagle 15:52 thru the pathless air, 15:56 And surely He 16:00 remembers me, 16:04 My heavn'ly Father 16:07 watches over me. 16:13 I trust in God, 16:17 I know He cares for me, 16:20 On mountain bleak 16:24 or on the stormy sea; 16:28 Tho' billows roll, 16:32 He keeps my soul, 16:36 My heavn'ly Father 16:39 watches over me. 16:44 I trust in God, 16:48 I know He cares for me, 16:52 On mountain bleak 16:55 or on the stormy sea; 17:00 Tho' billows roll, 17:04 He keeps my soul, 17:08 My heavn'ly Father 17:10 watches over 17:14 me... 17:21 my heavn'ly Father 17:25 watches 17:27 over 17:31 me. 17:49 Amen! 17:56 Isn't that a wonderful message? 17:58 Amen! That we don't have to worry about ever being left 18:01 without the watchful care of our heavenly Father. 18:05 I was sitting back there listen- ing to the words in that song 18:08 and I was thinking about the world in which we live today 18:11 and how so many things that fade in time are built on shaky 18:15 foundations... foundations that endure just for a while. 18:19 Even in our own lives foundations that endure just 18:22 only as long as trials don't come. 18:25 And then I remember a few weeks ago I was in my house. 18:31 I have old soundtracks that I bought way back in the 18:35 1980's... 1979. 18:37 I was going through my library and I came upon one 18:40 that I hadn't heard in a long time entitled Cornerstone. 18:44 And I looked at it and to my surprise 18:46 I saw the name Lari Goss. 18:49 And I thought: "Wow, the same Lari Goss 18:51 that worked on one of our 3ABN projects! " 18:55 And I thought: "He wrote that song a number of years ago. " 18:59 And although time has passed, the beauty of that song 19:03 still lasts today because Jesus is still our Cornerstone. 19:28 Jesus is the Cornerstone, 19:35 came for sinners to atone; 19:41 Tho' rejected by His own, 19:48 He remains the Cornerstone... 19:53 yes, Jesus is the Cornerstone. 20:00 When I am by sin oppressed, 20:06 on that Stone I am at rest; 20:12 When the seeds of truth are sown, 20:19 He remains the Cornerstone... 20:25 yes, Jesus is 20:29 the Cornerstone. 20:37 Rock of Ages, 20:43 cleft for me, 20:50 let me hide 20:56 myself in Thee. 21:03 O Rock of Ages, 21:07 so secure, 21:10 for all time it shall endure; 21:17 till His children 21:20 reach their home, 21:23 He'll remain 21:26 the Cornerstone! 21:31 From the breaking 21:37 of the dawn, 21:40 Or till our footsteps 21:44 cease to roam; 21:47 Ever let this truth be known: 21:53 that Jesus is 21:57 the Cornerstone... 22:05 Jesus is the 22:09 Cornerstone. 22:27 Amen! 22:41 He's the King of all glory, 22:47 and He is God. 22:50 He's the Lion of Judah, 22:52 the sweet Rose of Sharon, 22:54 the fairest of 10,000... Ancient of Days. 22:59 The Alpha, Omega, 23:01 the King of all glory, 23:03 the bright Morning Star and the God of my praise. 23:07 Who can describe everything that He is? 23:12 All I can say is: "He's mine and I'm His! " 23:18 'Cause the One who walks on the wings of the wind 23:22 walks beside me. 23:26 And the One who's holding the world in His hand 23:31 holds my heart. 23:34 He spoke, and the world was created in space 23:39 and yet He was willing to die in my place! 23:44 Redeemer, Deliverer, the ransom that set my soul 23:49 free! 23:52 Hallelujah! 23:54 What a Savior He is to me! 24:04 He's the strength in my weakness, 24:07 the joy in my sorrow, 24:09 the peace like a river that flows through my life. 24:13 He's new morning mercies 24:15 and hope for the journey 24:17 and love that will conquer the struggle and strife. 24:21 Who can describe everything that He is? 24:25 All I can say is "He's mine and I'm His! " 24:31 'Cause the One who walks on the wings of the wind 24:36 walks beside me. 24:39 And the One who's holding the world in His hand 24:44 holds my heart. 24:48 He spoke and the world was created in space 24:52 and yet He was willing to die in my place! 24:57 Redeemer, Deliverer, 24:59 ransom that set my soul free. 25:05 Hallelujah! 25:07 What a Savior He is to me! 25:13 Oh, I can't describe everything that He is. 25:18 All I can say is: "He's mine and I'm His! " 25:23 'Cause the One who walks on the wings of the wind 25:28 walks right beside me. 25:32 And the One who's holding the world in His hand 25:36 holds my heart. 25:40 He spoke and the world was created in space 25:45 yet He was willing to die in my place! 25:49 Redeemer, Deliverer, 25:51 ransom that set my soul free. 25:57 Hallelujah! 25:59 What a Savior He is to me! 26:05 Hallelujah! 26:07 What a Savior 26:10 He is 26:14 to me! 26:24 Amen! Amen! 26:41 When anyone looks at me 26:46 let them see Jesus. 26:53 Let me be a reflection 26:57 of His love and mercy to them. 27:06 When they start to read 27:09 my life story 27:13 I want it to bring my Savior glory. 27:19 When anyone looks at me 27:23 let them see Him. 27:32 I'm not lookin' for fortune 27:38 and I'm not seeking for fame. 27:44 I'm not so concerned 27:47 that all the world knows my name. 27:57 But I am concerned with one passion: 28:03 to tell what the Lord's done for me. 28:09 And I want my life 28:12 to shine with a light 28:16 so all those around me can see. 28:22 When anyone looks at me 28:27 let them see Jesus. 28:34 Let me be a reflection 28:38 of His love and mercy to them. 28:44 Mmm-mmm-mmm. 28:47 When they start to read 28:51 my life story 28:54 I want it to bring my Savior glory. 29:00 When anyone looks at me 29:04 let them see Him. 29:13 Every good and perfect gift that I possess 29:19 was sent from the Father above. 29:25 In thanks for the way that I've truly been blessed 29:31 I'll open my heart and give to the world 29:37 His love. 29:44 When anyone looks at me 29:49 let them see Jesus. 29:56 Let me be a reflection 30:00 of His love and mercy to them. 30:06 Ooh-ooh-ooh. 30:10 When they start to read 30:13 my life story 30:16 I want it to bring 30:18 my Savior glory. 30:22 When anyone looks at me... 30:29 When anyone looks at me... 30:35 When anyone looks at me 30:42 let them 30:45 see Him. 30:50 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. 30:57 Amen! 31:03 We have just a little extra time, and so 31:06 some years ago a young lady and her husband moved here. 31:10 And shortly after we met her 31:14 we realized that she could sing! 31:17 And out of that little frame came a really big voice! 31:21 And she and her husband, Mike... 31:24 for many years he was the pianist and she sang. 31:27 And we lost Mike last October. 31:30 And just a wonderful person who gave his heart to the Lord. 31:34 And we were there in the hospital when he passed. 31:36 And we were wondering who was going to help Celestine 31:40 kind of carry on, and her daugh- ter stepped up to the plate. 31:46 And we have a very blessed school here at the Thompsonville 31:50 school. Miss Evelyn Hainey, the teacher for the larger grades, 31:53 teaches music to the young people. 31:56 And all the young people in this school play several 32:00 instruments... usually 3, 4, 5. 32:04 And Farrah plays what, Celestine? 32:07 Piano? She plays sixteen? 32:09 Sixteen. Sixteen... one six. 32:14 Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen. 32:18 Sixteen instruments... AND she plays the piano. 32:22 And just a wonderful young lady. 32:24 And what are you going to sing, Celestine? 32:26 It's The Savior Is Waiting. 32:28 The Savior Is Waiting. This is Celestine Barry 32:31 and her daughter Farrah Barry. Thank you. Amen! 32:58 The Savior is waiting 33:03 to enter your heart; 33:09 Why don't you let Him 33:13 come in? 33:17 There's nothing 33:20 in this world 33:23 to keep you apart, 33:28 What is your answer to Him? 33:36 Time after time, 33:40 He has waited before, 33:45 And now 33:47 He is waiting again. 33:53 To see if you're willing 33:58 to open the door, 34:02 Oh, how He wants to 34:07 come in. 34:22 If you'll take one step 34:26 t'ward the Savior, my friend; 34:33 You'll find His arms open wide. 34:41 Receive Him 34:43 and all of your darkness will end. 34:50 Within your heart 34:54 He'll abide. 34:59 Time after time, 35:03 He has waited before, 35:07 And now 35:09 He is waiting again. 35:15 To see if you're willing 35:19 to open the door, 35:25 Oh, how He wants to 35:29 come in. 35:54 To see if you're willing 35:59 to open the door, 36:08 Oh, how He wants to 36:15 come in. 36:47 AMEN! 36:49 Amen. Thank you so very much. Isn't she a wonderful pianist? 36:54 Amen! She really does a fabulous job! 36:56 Sabbath morning in the Spring 36:59 and the family's heading to Sabbath School. 37:02 And the little boy has a little statement to make 37:06 and to say before the whole church. It's thirteenth Sabbath 37:09 and he is nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof. 37:14 Just a few words: trust in God. 37:18 He's got them on a little piece of paper. 37:21 He's sitting in the back of the car reading his little piece 37:23 of paper: Trust in God; trust in God. 37:25 Hoping that he won't forget: trust in God. 37:27 And it's a warm Spring day. 37:29 And so the father rolls down the windows. 37:32 He pushed a button and all the windows come down. 37:34 And the little fellow wasn't expecting that. 37:37 And all of a sudden a gust of wind blew in 37:39 and snatched the little piece of paper 37:42 and blew it out the window. 37:43 And the little boy said: "Daddy, daddy, stop the car! 37:46 My trust in God just flew out the window! " 37:51 Isn't it amazing how sometimes when a little wind comes into 37:55 our lives our trust in God flies out the window? 37:59 And yet these are times - these Camp Meeting seasons - 38:03 are times that we can re-affirm our faith in God. 38:07 Our trust in God. Because He has promised never to leave us, 38:12 never to forsake us. 38:15 When Irma and I were dating she sang in a little group, 38:19 and they used to sing this song over and over again. 38:22 And I must admit when I first heard it I didn't... 38:24 it didn't particularly hit me. 38:26 But since I liked Irma and Irma liked the song 38:30 it grew on me. 38:32 And it has a very powerful message: 38:35 I lay my sins on Jesus: 38:39 the spotless Lamb of God. 38:41 And He can carry every one of those sins. 38:46 Amen? I Lay My Sins On Jesus. 38:58 I lay my sins on Jesus, 39:05 The spotless Lamb of God; 39:12 He bears them all, 39:16 and frees us 39:20 From the accursed load... 39:26 from the accursed load. 39:35 I bring my guilt to Jesus, 39:41 To wash my crimson stains 39:48 White in His blood 39:52 most precious, 39:56 Till not a stain remains... 40:03 till not a stain remains. 40:18 I lay my wants on Jesus; 40:24 All fullness dwells in Him; 40:32 He healeth my 40:35 diseases, 40:39 He doth my soul 40:42 redeem... 40:47 He doth my soul redeem. 41:08 I long to be with Jesus - 41:13 don't you? - 41:16 Amid the heavenly throng, 41:22 To sing with them 41:26 His praises, 41:30 And learn the angels' song... 41:37 And learn the angels' 41:41 song... 41:45 I lay my sins 41:50 on Jesus. 42:05 Amen! 42:07 We are actually... Thank you, pastor. 42:10 Beautiful! Some people have got it all, don't they? 42:13 He's even got the good looks to go with it all. 42:16 I tell you. And he's young, too, 'cause we're the same age. 42:20 If ya'll were truthful... I'm happy that I've got Medicare 42:25 now. You know why? That'll tell you. Just about 3 weeks ago 42:29 I had my birthday, and I said: "You know what? 42:31 I've waited 65 years for this. 42:33 I think I'll take advantage of it, right? " 42:35 So I figured they'd shut it down by the time I got here 42:37 but they're still... still doin' it right now. 42:40 I'm glad that Bro. Tim Parton is here. We have a little 42:42 bit of extra time so I wanted Tim to come out. 42:46 We're starting a brand new network 42:48 and it's going to be the Praise Him! Network 42:51 that's a music channel. Amen! 42:53 So 24/7 music that brings honor and glory to the Lord. 42:57 And so we've asked Tim to be in charge of it. 43:00 Tim, you've got some vision. You've already started. 43:02 You had the Lesters here, right? Tell us a little bit about it. 43:05 Well really it's an amazing process. 43:09 Something... I've been on the road for many years 43:12 as a musician traveling and playing and singing. 43:15 And back in January I had the privilege of going to London 43:19 with Danny. And we were driving down the road - 43:22 riding down the road - someone else was driving - 43:25 Anyway, he mentioned to me about if I would be interested 43:29 in a music channel... a Christian music channel. 43:32 And I said: "Well, I don't have a TV 43:35 but I'm sure it sounds like a great thing. " 43:38 But then he said: "No, I'd like for you to 43:41 be in charge of that. " And wow! That came out of nowhere. 43:45 So it's amazing how the Lord works. 43:47 I'm looking into getting a TV now. 43:51 But anyway, I want to look for one. 43:54 I know you've got 3ABN on your Smart Phone. 43:57 I do have that! Yes... I do have that. OK. 43:59 Good... you're not fired... you've still got a job. 44:02 OK... Whew! That's good. No... music has been such a huge part 44:07 of my life that I can't imagine life without it. 44:10 And praising God... music is just... that's exactly 44:16 the way I praise God is through my music. 44:20 So I'm just excited about some of the things that are going to 44:23 be happening, and things that... I don't even know 44:27 what's going on. Absolutely. We're... It's taking a time 44:30 so we're not going to put it on the air immediately. 44:33 But we're developing a lot of new programming 44:35 that's good that you'll see. And with these new LED lights 44:38 back here... Isn't that a great screen? Yeah! 44:40 Wait till you see Friday night's concert... 44:42 what they're putting behind the music. 44:44 Lanny Wolfe's gonna be here 44:46 and we have a number. Reggie and Ladye Love's gonna be here 44:49 later tonight. We've got a number of the singers 44:51 that sang with us in Nashville that's gonna be here. 44:54 And we want you to be watching at home. 44:55 Those of you here: Friday night concert. 44:57 Right now what I'd like Tim to do... 44:59 we might have time for two. One of yours is real quick. 45:03 I call it the Bumblebee Song. I don't know what else to do. 45:06 Why don't you? You guys: make sure you get a shot of him 45:09 up there. Don't be nervous... there's millions of people 45:11 watching or anything... OK. But you wouldn't be... 45:14 No, he's played before everybody: kings, presidents, 45:16 and you name it, he's done it. 45:18 One of the most incredible musicians I've ever met 45:21 in my entire life. This man amazes us. 45:24 And we praise the Lord that he's now full time with 3ABN. 45:28 What's the name of this song you're going to do? 45:29 In My Heart There Rings A Bumblebee... 45:31 A Melody, sorry. In My Heart There Rings A Melody. 45:34 And we may have to... I'll stand here if we need to 45:37 put water on the notes 'cause you're going to heat them up 45:39 a little. All right... let's do it! 47:37 Amen! 47:40 Beautiful! That's almost exactly the way I taught it to him. 47:45 I had a couple other little variations, but you can learn 47:48 those later. Don't be discouraged. 47:50 And, all right. We've got time maybe to do one more. 47:54 And then right after that I think I'll ask Pastor John 47:57 to come out. Maybe you guys can do He Touched Me 47:59 and lead the group till we go down to zero here. 48:02 You enjoying the music so far? 48:03 Yes! All right. Feeling the presence of the Lord? 48:05 That's what it's all about, isn't it? 48:07 All right. You're going to do what for us right now? 48:10 What song do you want to do? Do you mind if I? 48:12 There's one that's a great song that I love. 48:15 Whatever you do we love it. OK. 48:19 Far away in the depths 48:23 of my spirit tonight 48:27 rolls a melody 48:31 sweeter than psalm. 48:37 In celestial like strains 48:42 it unceasingly flows 48:47 o'er my soul 48:50 like an infinite calm. 48:55 Sing along if you know this. Peace, peace: 48:58 Peace, peace, 49:03 wonderful peace... 49:07 coming down 49:10 from the Father 49:13 above. 49:17 Sweep over my spirit 49:23 forever, I pray, 49:28 in fathomless 49:32 billows of love. 49:37 He Touched Me. 49:40 He touched me, 49:43 O, He touched me, 49:50 and O, the joy 49:55 that floods my soul! 50:01 Something happened 50:05 and now I know 50:12 He touched me 50:15 and made me 50:21 whole. 50:27 I serve a risen Savior, 50:31 He's in the world today. 50:35 I know that He is living 50:38 whatever men may say. 50:42 I see His hand of mercy, 50:46 I hear His voice of cheer. 50:49 And just the time I need Him 50:53 He's always near. Let's sing that chorus: 50:57 He lives; He lives, 51:01 Christ Jesus lives today. 51:05 He walks with me and talks with me 51:08 along life's narrow way. 51:13 He lives; He lives, 51:16 salvation to impart. 51:21 You ask me how 51:25 I know He lives? 51:29 He lives 51:40 within 51:45 my heart! 51:53 We are standing 52:00 on holy ground. 52:06 And I know that there 52:12 are angels 52:14 all around. 52:20 Let us praise 52:26 Jesus now. 52:33 We are standing in 52:38 His presence 52:40 on holy ground. 52:47 We are standing 52:53 on holy ground. 52:59 And I know that there 53:04 are angels 53:07 all around. 53:12 Let us praise 53:18 Jesus now. 53:24 We are standing in 53:29 His presence 53:31 on holy ground. 53:39 There is a place 53:43 of quiet rest. 53:47 Where is it tonight? 53:48 Near to the heart of God. 53:54 A place where sin 53:58 cannot molest... Where is it? 54:03 Near to the heart of God. 54:10 O Jesus, blest 54:14 Redeemer, 54:19 sent from the heart of God, 54:25 hold us 54:28 who wait before 54:33 Thee 54:36 near to the heart 54:40 of God. 54:48 When you think about being near to the heart of God 54:51 I'm sure there's so many thoughts that could come into 54:53 your mind. A place of quiet rest, 54:56 a place of solitude. You know, when I read the Bible 55:01 and I read about the love that Jesus had for His disciples 55:04 I'm always... I try to find a way to insert myself. 55:08 And when I think of the way He felt about the youngest 55:12 disciple, John, the one whom He loved, 55:15 I sometimes borrow that to think that God loves me 55:19 that way. Tonight as people are tuning in and watching 55:23 here at Camp Meeting at 3ABN 55:26 what we want to do more than anything else this Camp Meeting 55:29 is draw near to the heart of God. 55:31 Not just sermons, but find that place of quiet rest, 55:35 that place of forgiveness and solitude and new beginnings. 55:39 That place where - when you look at the picture behind you - 55:42 I've said this before - you see the mercy seat. 55:45 And we were talking about this. Pastor C.A. and I and Danny 55:47 on a program. And we said: "How could people 55:51 ask for God's mercy by ignoring His law? " 55:55 But the thought that came to me was: 55:57 His law is in the ark of the covenant, but the mercy seat 56:01 is above His law. So for those who transgress 56:04 God's law, His mercy is above. 56:09 And we want to come into the presence of God 56:11 this Camp Meeting and ask Him to extend to us the mercy that 56:15 each one of us is in need of. Anybody here tonight need 56:17 God's mercy? You know, you don't ask for mercy unless 56:20 you recognize you're a sinner. 56:21 If you know that you haven't sinned, you ask for justice. 56:24 But every one of us, because of God's gracious love towards us, 56:28 every one of us is in need of God's mercy. 56:32 So tonight as you bow your heads I'm going to go before 56:34 the Lord in prayer. We have a few seconds. 56:35 We'll say goodbye to our audience that's viewing 56:38 and listening, but let's bow before the Lord tonight 56:40 at the beginning of this Camp Meeting, knowing that 56:42 each one of us is in need of God's mercy. 56:44 Heavenly Father, tonight that place of quiet rest 56:48 reminds us that in this crazy world of voices 56:54 that call us in different direc- tions, tonight Lord, we come. 56:57 We turn the world off and we say: "Father, 56:59 allow us to lay on Your breast. " To feel that heartbeat 57:03 of love for us. To feel that heart that pulsates... 57:06 that refuses to rest until His children are home with Him. 57:12 As we begin this encampment Father, come and be near to 57:15 each of us that whether we've come from far or near 57:18 we could leave this place that much closer to our loving 57:23 Heavenly Father. Forgive us, Lord. Strengthen us 57:28 that as sinners saved by grace |
