00:04 We are racing towards the global crisis at the close.
00:09 God is going to set up His kingdom on earth. 00:13 Preparation for the tribulation and the translation 00:17 is to develop a character like Jesus Christ 00:20 to reach every hamlet, every village, every man, 00:24 every child, every person in India, 00:27 every person in South America must hear these 00:30 three angels' messages. 00:32 These are stories that illustrate 00:37 the kind of fabric of character and perseverance 00:39 that we need to go through the tribulation 00:42 just as certainly as they did. 00:44 The Bible makes it very clear, we are living in an unusual hour 00:47 the last grains of sand 00:49 are trickling through the hourglass of time 00:51 and the door of probation is about to swing shut. 00:59 We all have heard many, many messages 01:02 and I have given many messages about the urgency 01:05 of being on fire for Jesus. 01:08 My Bible tells me that only those 01:11 who are on fire for Jesus will be saved at last 01:14 so I think we all have an interest 01:16 in being on fire for Jesus. Can I hear an "Amen?" 01:19 But the question is, in practical terms, 01:22 in simple terms, 01:24 how can we get on fire and stay on fire? 01:27 I believe the answer is Revelation chapter 2. 01:32 All right, here we go... verse 4, Jesus speaking: 01:36 "Nevertheless I have this against you, 01:39 that you have left your first love. 01:41 But Jesus doesn't leave us there, 01:44 He gives us practical, specific instruction 01:48 of how to get your first fire back. 01:51 Verse number 5: Remember... 01:55 we remember the Sabbath day, but here's another "remember" 01:58 "Remember therefore from where you have fallen, 02:02 repent and... " what? 02:05 "do something about it" 02:07 do your part... is what Jesus is saying here. 02:12 In other words... the fire does not fall upon us 02:17 by default... but by decision. 02:19 It does not come upon us... just because we hope it will, 02:24 but because we seek the presence of God. 02:28 Jesus says here, "Do the first work... " 02:31 Remember what you did to get on fire for the Lord 02:36 in the first place and do it again. 02:38 "Or else I will come to you quickly, 02:41 and remove your lampstand from its place 02:43 unless you repent. " 02:45 So is it crystal clear, here at the outset 02:48 that we need to do something about 02:51 getting our first fire back, 02:53 getting on fire and staying on fire, 02:56 depends upon us doing those first works. 02:59 Now, we know that our character is made up of habits. 03:06 We are creatures of habits. 03:08 The question is, what kind of habits do you have? 03:13 Are they habits that promote that fire 03:16 and encourage that fire, 03:19 or are they habits that quench the fire? 03:22 Paul said in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5... 03:25 1st Thessalonians chapter 5... 03:27 he says there around verses 19, right in there... 03:31 He says, "Do not quench the spirit. " 03:34 That is... don't put the fire out... 03:37 so what happens sometimes is we get fired up 03:42 and then we go back to putting the fire out. 03:46 How many would like to stop 03:48 putting the fire out in your life? 03:50 Are you interested in that today? 03:52 I've come here to say something, the Bible makes it very clear 03:57 that we are to get ready for the Lord's return. 04:00 How? We got to get on fire and stay on fire 04:03 but take your Bible and turn with me 04:05 to Revelation chapter 19, Revelation chapter 19... 04:09 How can we as the church... as believers 04:14 get ready for the Lord's return? 04:16 It has everything to do with habits. 04:20 Look here in Revelation 19 verses 7 and 9, 04:23 "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give Him glory: 04:26 for the marriage of the lamb" would you agree? 04:29 marriage has to do with love, at least the last time I checked 04:31 "Love Relationship" we're married to Jesus. 04:35 Notice here, "the marriage of the Lamb is come, 04:38 and his wife hath made herself" what? 04:40 "ready... " how did she get ready? 04:43 What did she do? Notice verse 8, 04:46 "And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, 04:49 clean and white: for the fine linen 04:53 is the righteous acts of the saints. 04:55 What does it mean? "Righteous Acts" 04:58 that is... things that they think and they speak 05:01 and they do, these are the acts. 05:04 Amen... now we know, 05:06 according to the Scriptures, that these acts must become 05:11 habitual... it must be the trend... 05:13 it must be the norm... it must be the pattern... 05:16 it must become... habit. 05:19 Character development is how we get ready 05:23 for Jesus' return, and we must have a character 05:26 that is made up of habits that promote the fire. 05:30 In other words, we need to become... 05:33 not a person, who, once in a while has a fire, 05:35 but a person whose character is on fire for Jesus Christ. 05:40 And so the Bible says here 05:42 you and I need to develop a character 05:45 that is characterized by the habit 05:49 of doing what pleases God. 05:51 Righteous acts... 05:53 to do the first works 05:55 all through the power of the Holy Spirit. 05:56 I want you to notice here verse 9, 05:59 "Then he said to me, Write, Blessed are those 06:01 who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb 06:03 and he said to me, 06:05 These are the true sayings of God. " 06:07 So we know we must put on the robe of Christ's righteousness. 06:12 If we put on the robe of Christ's righteousness, 06:16 that righteousness becomes a habit 06:19 and habits define who we are. 06:23 I repeat, "You can develop habits 06:27 to get on fire and stay on fire or you can develop habits 06:32 that are really anti-fire. 06:35 The habits that you have, will either promote or prevent 06:41 or put out that fire. 06:43 Now we all have habits. 06:44 How about your habit in shopping? 06:47 How is your habit in shopping? 06:49 I'm just using a little cursory illustration here. 06:53 Some have the habit of going to Wal-Mart. 06:56 Some say, "I wouldn't be caught dead in Wal-Mart, 06:59 I'm going to Target. " 07:00 Other people say, "You know what? 07:02 I'm high-class, I'm going to the Mall" 07:04 Some say, "You know what? I hate shopping, 07:07 I'm staying home and going online 07:09 to do all my shopping from now on. " 07:11 We're all creatures of habit. 07:12 Well, how you shop is not necessarily the biggest matter 07:17 right here before us but about this one? 07:20 What are your sleeping habits? 07:22 Are you a night owl an early bird? 07:25 Let me see the night owls... all right... very good... 07:28 at least are you awake here? 07:30 all right... anyway... how many of you are early birds? 07:33 All right... in Missouri we love to get up early 07:36 and so we have different habits. 07:38 How about the habits of eating? 07:41 How many like your dessert first? 07:43 How many actually eat your dessert first? 07:48 All right... how many are looking at your dessert 07:50 the whole time but you wait until the end... 07:51 all right... anyway, we all are creatures of habit 07:55 but some habits are good, and some are evil. 07:58 Look at Jeremiah... Jeremiah chapter 13... 08:02 Jeremiah 13... tucked away in the Old Testament there... 08:05 Jeremiah... the weeping prophet said this... 08:10 this morning in my hotel room, that is my RV... 08:14 I was woken up this morning 08:18 and the Lord spoke this Scripture into my mind 08:20 so I knew He wanted me to go to it... here this morning, 08:24 looking at Jeremiah chapter 13 and verse 23... 08:28 "Can the Ethiopian change... " everybody say, "change" 08:36 habits are hard to change... 08:40 "Can the Ethiopian change his skin 08:43 or the leopard its spots? then may you also do good, 08:50 who are... " what? 08:52 "accustomed" or being in the habit, 08:56 have a pattern, "have a trend of doing evil. " 09:00 So, we know that habits are hard to break 09:05 and you and I can hope 09:07 and long for change 09:10 and to change our habits but we will not 09:12 unless we make a decision 09:14 and ask Jesus to help us 09:16 because Jesus said, "Without Him we can do nothing" 09:19 John 15 verse 5. 09:20 So what are your habits in your relationship 09:25 with Jesus Christ? 09:27 Your habits with Jesus Christ define 09:30 what kind of relationship you have with Jesus Christ 09:33 and define your character because the Bible says 09:37 that He's at work in us, both to will 09:39 and to do of His good pleasure. Philippians 2 verse 13. 09:43 What do you think Jesus is wanting to accomplish? 09:47 He wants to develop in us a character like His 09:52 it's the only way to have preparation for translation, 09:56 our character development is the way we get ready 10:01 for Jesus' return 10:03 and if character is largely composed of habits, 10:06 would you agree? 10:07 We must focus on doing the first works, 10:10 doing the right habits to get the fire and stay on fire 10:14 is this beginning to make sense? 10:15 So you have to look and evaluate your habits 10:18 and say, "What habits need to change?" 10:22 Which habits need to go? 10:24 And the good news is Romans 12:21, 10:26 "We overcome evil with good. " 10:29 We replace bad habits with good habits, 10:32 evil habits with holy habits, and so, 10:35 I want you to take your Bible now and turn with me... 10:38 turn with me to Psalm 139. 10:42 I want to give you some practical steps 10:46 that you can take to get on fire and stay on fire. 10:50 Habit number 1: and you might want to get out a note pad 10:55 and have your wife take note or whoever... all right... 11:00 here we go... Psalm 139... Psalm 139... 11:04 someone in the family take notes if you can. 11:06 Number 1: make it practical Preacher, 11:09 all right... we will... verse 23... 11:13 Psalm 139:23 and 24 okay, let's look at that 11:17 and can we read it together please. 11:19 "Search me, O God, and know my heart: 11:21 try me, and know my anxieties: 11:24 And see if there is any wicked 11:26 way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. " 11:29 Number 1: If you want to get on fire and stay on fire, 11:34 develop the habit of searching your heart 11:37 with the help and the aid and the assistance 11:39 of the Holy Spirit because you don't know your heart. 11:43 You can say, "I want to be on fire for the Lord," 11:47 but never be on fire for the Lord, 11:49 or maybe just have a little 11:50 flicker of a flame here and there, 11:52 or you can, every day, say, 11:53 "Lord, I don't even know my own heart, 11:55 please search my heart 11:58 and see if there are any anti-fire habits in my life. 12:03 Am I putting the Holy Spirit fire out? 12:08 Am I quenching the fire of the Holy Spirit? 12:11 Lord, what am I doing that I must cease doing?" 12:15 The Bible says, "Cease to do evil, 12:17 learn to do good. " 12:19 Develop those good habits of promoting the fire 12:23 so did you know that right now the Bible says 12:26 that judgment has begun at the house of God. 12:29 1st Peter 4:17 we are living in the hour 12:32 of God's judgment. Revelation 14 verse 7 12:35 and so the Bible makes it very clear 12:38 that we are Laodicea... which literally means 12:42 "ones who are judged" Revelation 3 verses 14 to 21 12:48 so we are living in a judgment time 12:51 and on the Day of Atonement, that is a type or foreshadowing 12:56 of the day in which we are living 12:58 when the Priest would go into the Most Holy Place, 13:01 and by the way our Great High Priest is 13:03 by the Ark of the Covenant, where's that? 13:05 In the Most Holy Place. 13:07 Where's that? In the Heavenly Temple, 13:08 in the Heavenly Sanctuary, 13:09 according to Revelation 11 verse 19 13:11 when the Priest in the earthly Sanctuary 13:14 would slip through behind the veil 13:17 and go in before the Ark 13:19 and sprinkled blood seven times on the Mercy Seat, 13:23 what were the children of Israel supposed to do, 13:27 what were they to be engaged in while he, 13:30 for that short little slice of time, 13:32 was there in the Most Holy Place 13:34 interceding on their behalf before God, 13:37 and this Priest... the type of our Great High Priest, 13:39 what was the church supposed to do? 13:42 What were the people of God supposed to do? 13:45 My Bible tells me in Leviticus chapter 23 13:48 that they were to afflict their soul, 13:51 they were to search their heart, they were to humble themselves, 13:57 and repent of any sin, 14:00 make any changes the Lord spotlighted in their life. 14:03 They were to confess and forsake their sins 14:07 in order to obtain mercy. Proverbs 28 verse 13 14:12 now follow with me... if they did not participate 14:16 in the searching of hearts they would be thrust, 14:20 expelled, kicked out of the Camp of Israel. 14:23 What would you call that in the house of God? 14:26 Judgment in the House of God. 14:29 We are living in parallel times. 14:32 We are living in the anti-typical Day of Atonement. 14:36 We are living, just now, while Jesus... 14:40 in a time when Jesus is engaged in His final work, 14:43 in the Heavenly Sanctuary, 14:45 and He is seeking to cleanse our hearts 14:47 as He cleanses the Sanctuary. 14:49 Is this making sense? Yes or No? 14:51 So, according to the Word of God, 14:52 Habit number 1: Humble yourself before God. 14:55 Search your heart, say, "Lord, are there any habits 15:00 if the way I get ready for your soon return 15:03 is by character development, 15:05 developing a character like Christ 15:07 by putting on the character of Christ, 15:09 putting on the righteousness of Christ, 15:10 by faith... righteousness by faith 15:12 Lord, if that's my preparation 15:14 and my character is largely made up of habits, 15:17 and habits define who I am, 15:19 then Lord... search my habits... 15:23 help me Lord Jesus 15:26 to have the habits that get the fire and promote the fire 15:33 not put out the fire. " 15:34 Does that make sense? 15:36 Habit Number 2: Psalm 4:4 15:41 "Be angry and do not sin; meditate within your heart 15:46 on your... " what everyone? 15:48 come on, yell it out... I know you all have one... 15:51 "on your bed... " even I have a bed in my RV, but 15:55 anyway... I won't tell you how high up I need to climb 15:59 but anyway, the bed... 16:01 "within your heart... on your bed" 16:03 and be what? Be still... 16:05 The Bible says in Psalm 46 verse 10, "Be still... " 16:10 be still... be still... 16:13 Oh... we need to hear that don't we? 16:15 In this generation that is stressed and stretched 16:18 and strained... pulled in all different directions, 16:22 deadlines and lists and going here and going there 16:25 rushing in all directions... 16:27 "Be still and know that I am God... " 16:30 and I believe... I believe... that before we get out of bed, 16:36 and I know this can be dangerous if you have a tendency 16:38 to go right back to sleep, but I recommend, 16:41 with the help of the Holy Spirit that when you wake up 16:45 you don't get out of bed, 16:46 now, if you have to have a bucket of ice water next to you 16:50 stay in bed there... do whatever listen to me... 16:53 be still... because I believe before we get out of bed 16:59 the Holy Spirit has something to say. 17:03 How many of you have children? 17:06 How many love to say something precious to them 17:09 when they wake up in the morning? 17:11 Our Father... His mercies are new 17:15 every morning, great is they faithfulness. 17:18 Lamentations 3:22 to 25. 17:20 Now listen carefully, stay in bed and be still 17:25 and it says there, 17:28 "meditate, reflect... dwell in your heart. " 17:31 My friend, Dr. Neil Nedley, has written a book 17:35 "The Lost Art of Thinking" 17:37 we don't spend a lot of time in reflective thinking. 17:42 We tend to go from one "to do... " 17:44 to another "to do" 17:45 and got to do this and got to do that, 17:47 I believe, listen to me, I believe that God has given 17:52 mothers... 17:54 "mother's intuition" 17:57 I believe it's a gift from God, 17:58 you want to be in touch 18:00 with what God is speaking into your mom? 18:04 Before you get out of bed, 18:06 let the Holy Spirit give you a heads-up 18:08 of how to help your children because He will do it. 18:12 How many mothers need Jesus' guidance in being "Mummy?" 18:15 How many grandmothers, grandpas, fathers? 18:19 Listen to me... "Be still... " 18:23 be still and quiet because it's in the quietness 18:27 before the TV goes on, the radio goes on, 18:31 before the phone goes off, be still... 18:34 and be in tune... 18:36 get your radio frequency just right, 18:39 and tune in and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit 18:44 like Samuel, 18:45 now this can also apply as you're going to bed. 18:50 Just quietly lie there and think about Jesus 18:55 and His love and think... 18:58 "Lord, is there any sin in my heart? 19:00 I don't want to go to sleep having anything 19:03 that would be an obstacle between us. " 19:07 Nothing between the soul and my Savior. 19:10 "Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, 19:14 that we should be called the children of God" 1 John 3:1 19:17 and the Father wants to speak to us. 19:19 Our Savior wants to speak to us. 19:21 I love how Ellen White puts it: 19:23 "Christ is ever sending messages to those who will listen. " 19:31 And so, "My sheep hear my voice" John 10:27 19:39 Good times are here... it's at the beginning of the day 19:43 and at the close of the day, and I have, on many occasions, 19:47 as I'm... trying to go to sleep, 19:50 the Lord will bring into the forefront 19:53 some mistakes I made in my parenting 19:56 or maybe a wrong attitude I had towards my wife, 20:00 and let me tell you something, 20:02 sometimes I've cried myself to sleep, 20:04 that is... crying in the arms of Jesus, 20:06 is it okay to cry in the arms of Jesus? 20:07 saying, "Lord, help me... with my shortcomings... 20:12 Lord help me... " 20:13 and it's in that quietness because, would you agree? 20:17 sin will blind us and we need to listen to Jesus 20:21 because we don't even know our heart, 20:23 we can think... like... we're okay... 20:25 and we are missing the point 20:27 and so listen... so search your heart, 20:31 meditate within your heart even while you're in bed, 20:35 and this will help you to get the fire and stay on fire. 20:39 The third habit and you may not like me for this 20:44 but I'm going to throw it out anyway. 20:46 As a matter of fact, I'll let Jesus give it to you. 20:50 Matthew 26 and verse 40, 20:53 Matthew 26 and verse 40, developing habits, 20:58 our heart's on fire becomes who we are 21:02 comprises our character. 21:04 Matthew 26... Godly Gethsemane... 21:06 disciples sleeping... 21:08 "Then he came... " verse 40, Matthew 26:40... 21:12 "Then he came to the disciples and found them... " 21:14 and he finds us in the same condition... "sleeping... " 21:17 sleeping right on the evening of Jesus' betrayal 21:24 and trial... sleeping... sleeping... 21:27 and said to Peter, "What... " question mark 21:32 "What...?" in other words 21:33 there's an element of surprise 21:36 as Jesus staggered back to them... 21:38 as the blood was coming off of his brow 21:41 and spilling on the rocks and there... 21:44 amidst those gnarled Olive trees there 21:46 in the Garden of Gethsemane, beautiful garden, 21:48 Jesus had the habit of going to this select place of prayer, 21:52 and there he finds, to His dismay... 21:55 and just... heart saddened... he finds them sleeping 21:59 and He says, "What... what? 22:02 Why is he talking, by the way, to Peter? 22:05 Because Peter usually was the outspoken one, 22:07 and so He chose to speak to Peter here. 22:10 I want you to notice, He was speaking to all of them 22:13 but He said to Peter, "What... question mark 22:17 what... what...?" getting them to think... 22:21 getting them to reflect, 22:23 "What, could you not watch with me one hour?" 22:30 Question mark... 22:31 We are a secularized, materialized, 22:36 entertainment-saturated, pleasure-mad, 22:42 preoccupied generation and Jesus comes to us and says, 22:48 "What? couldn't you spend one hour in prayer with me?" 22:55 "One hour... you don't know how busy I am, 22:58 I've got kids... " 23:00 "Ah... maybe you need two hours... " 23:09 Martin Luther would spend 23:13 three hours, many times, 23:16 when he was going though the throes of a terrible trial 23:19 remember... trying to have him to recant... 23:22 he was being tried, everything was on the line, 23:25 he would spend three hours in prayer. 23:29 My Jesus got up early in the morning, 23:33 many times He would stay whole nights in prayer. 23:37 We are going to spend eternity with God. 23:40 You know, when we tell people, 23:42 keep a whole day with God, many times... 23:45 if they don't verbalize it, they're thinking it. 23:47 "What? 23:48 A whole day not buying, 23:51 not selling, not working, 23:53 I mean from sundown Friday night to sundown Saturday night... 23:56 that whole time? I mean... what do you do?" 23:59 My response many times is, 24:03 "All eternity... with God... 24:07 what do you do?" 24:09 How many agree? Eternity is more than heart... 24:11 and Sabbath is more than just going to church 24:14 and prayer... is more than just putting in the time. 24:18 Jesus found His greatest joy in communion with His Father. 24:26 How many want to have that character? 24:28 That habit in your character? 24:29 Would you agree? 24:30 Jesus just didn't pray once in a while, haphazardly... 24:33 in a disconnected way... how many agree 24:36 He had a pattern, He had a pattern, 24:39 he went from the mountain to the multitude 24:41 back to the mountain. 24:42 And the disciples made a connection 24:45 between His time alone with God 24:48 and His public miracles. 24:49 Don't you believe 24:51 that many will take knowledge you've been with Jesus, 24:53 and you will see miracles in your life 24:55 if you get alone with God, one hour each day? 24:59 Can you imagine, if every single one of us 25:03 here gathered together and those watching by television 25:06 can you imagine 25:07 if everyone would develop the habit 25:10 the what everyone...? 25:11 The habit of spending quality time... come on now... 25:14 you... who are interested in your marriage 25:17 your parenting... you've heard that term before... 25:19 "quality time... " how about developing in your... 25:23 the fabric of your habits, a habit of an hour, 25:26 quality hour, spending time in prayer. 25:30 I'm talking about... in addition to Bible Study... 25:33 Oh yes, I usually... 25:34 many times... well... when I'm praying, 25:36 I'll have the Bible either before me 25:37 or a 3-by-5 card because this helps you to pray. 25:41 You can even, at times, 25:43 not necessarily be in the mood to pray, 25:45 and Ellen White tells us that studying the Scriptures, 25:48 reading the Bible prepares you for communion 25:50 because it's entering in to the presence of God. 25:53 How many agree? This is the presence of God. 25:56 "The words that I speak unto you they are Spirit 25:59 and they are life. " John 6:63. 26:01 Now listen carefully to me, 26:02 Habit number 3 is: spend that hour with God in prayer. 26:09 "Those that wait upon the Lord 26:15 shall renew their strength... " 26:18 Do you know that your face... 26:22 now you're not going to want to look at me 26:25 but you can look at mine... 26:26 I have the same trials like you... 26:28 I'm going through trials just as you are... 26:30 the face is an index to the character, 26:35 plain and simple... that's why the Bible talks about 26:40 the righteous having shining faces 26:42 because the character is seen in the countenance 26:45 particularly the eyes. 26:47 Why do you think when a baby is born, immediately, 26:51 they're looking at... what? 26:53 They're looking right in the eyes. 26:56 Who made them that way? 26:59 They are studying mom and dad's character. 27:07 My Bible tells me 27:11 that as we take time alone with God, 27:15 like Moses, we come down from the mountain 27:18 with our face shining, 27:20 it becomes who we are, much prayer... much shining... 27:25 My Bible tells me, 27:27 "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, 27:29 for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. " 27:32 Isaiah 60 verse 1, listen carefully, 27:34 the Bible makes it clear, "Wait on the Lord: 27:37 He shall renew their strength:" are you interested? 27:40 I meet people all the time 27:41 and there are two groups of people 27:43 those who have given their burdens to the Lord 27:45 and have peace 27:47 and those who might be praying, they might be reading, 27:49 they might be going to church but for whatever reason, 27:52 they have not left their baggage 27:54 at the foot of the cross, 27:55 they are not unloaded at the foot of the cross, 27:57 and so what are they doing? 27:58 They're carrying around their burdens, now don't get me wrong, 28:01 you can give your burdens to the Lord, 28:02 but that does not mean that it is wrong for you 28:05 to share with your Christian friends 28:06 that they might pray with you. 28:08 How many agree? We must pray for one another. 28:11 And by the way, 28:12 that's why we should get together at Prayer Meetings, 28:14 that's why we should get together in small groups 28:16 why? because I don't know about you, 28:18 I need people to pray for me. 28:19 Now listen carefully... one hour. 28:25 When I accepted Christ after He delivered me 28:28 from smoking and drinking and drugs and the party lifestyle, 28:32 I was a high school dropout, 28:33 when I accepted Christ at the age of 20, 28:36 the Lord indelibly imprinted upon my mind 28:39 the urgent necessity 28:41 to develop the habit of going to the Lord in prayer 28:45 and not letting it be rushed 28:49 and the Lord impressed me, and I'm no better than you, 28:57 I'm just opening my heart to you, 28:59 the Lord impressed me, "Wait on me... " 29:03 wait before the Lord, 29:08 I believe some of the best part of praying during that hour 29:11 is when you're quiet. 29:13 Prayer is not only you just 29:15 talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, to God, 29:17 I believe the best part of prayer is when you say, 29:20 "Lord, here I am, I'm just in your presence. " 29:23 Sometimes people say, "an hour? 29:25 I don't know what to talk about for an hour. " 29:27 You get out your watch, you get out your cell phone, 29:32 you get out your time and you say, 29:33 "At six o'clock or seven o'clock in the morning 29:37 or five or eight... whatever, 29:39 this is my prayer time with God, 29:41 it's going to become who I am 29:43 why wait for a worse crisis? 29:45 I'm going to spend that hour with the Lord in flesh... " 29:50 sorry... you're not in control 29:52 the flesh is weak but the spirit is willing. 29:54 I'm going to spend that time with the Lord 29:57 not to earn salvation 29:59 but because I need Jesus more than I ever have. 30:01 Listen to me, prayer to God focuses, focuses, focuses, 30:10 focuses when our eyes are on Jesus, 30:13 you want to clear your head? 30:15 Pray to your father in heaven. 30:17 You want to unburden the heavy load? 30:20 Wait on the Lord, 30:23 and you will renew your strength 30:25 to be able to mount up with wings... as eagles... 30:28 to run and not be weary, walk and not faint, 30:32 because listen, young people, youth, teenagers and so forth, 30:35 even the youth shall faint and grow weary, 30:39 I'm here to tell you, 30:41 it's a joy to wait before your Father, 30:48 because if you wait, 30:51 you will be renewed, 30:54 now I wonder... just imagine if that becomes 30:58 a consistent habit of yours, 31:01 habitual communion. 31:03 You say, "I just pray all the time. " 31:05 I say, "Hallelujah" 31:07 but that never will take the place of seasons of prayer. 31:11 "Oh, I'm just too busy, I just pray on the fly... " 31:14 I'm just going to pray while I'm doing this... that... 31:18 and the other thing, that's good, 31:19 that's praying without ceasing. 1st Thessalonians 5:17 31:22 but would you like to learn how to pray without ceasing? 31:25 You have your season of prayer, would you agree? 31:27 When you get that jump-start in the morning 31:29 with that season of prayer, 31:30 it's much easier to keep a vital connection with God. 31:35 You want to be on fire? 31:37 If you're not on fire and you keep doing what you're doing, 31:41 you'll remain... not on fire... 31:43 you've got to do something about it. 31:46 Just like Jesus... when He came to resurrect Lazarus 31:49 would you agree? 31:50 That would be a breath-taking miracle 31:53 but He said, "Remove the stone" 31:55 if they didn't remove the stone and initially, they protested, 32:01 they said, "You know, he's been there dead 32:02 decaying for four days, 32:04 decomposing... I mean... you know... " 32:06 Jesus said, "Remove the stone" 32:09 what He was saying is, "Do your part, 32:12 you want to see a miracle, you want to see a breakthrough, 32:15 you want to see the move of God? 32:17 Do your part, remove the stone and when Jesus... 32:20 that's John 11... 32:21 In John chapter 2 you remember 32:23 Jesus was going to turn the water into... what everyone? 32:27 Into wine... that would be a dramatic miracle 32:30 at the marriage or the wedding celebration 32:33 at Cana and by the way that was His first miracle 32:36 and it was to celebrate love in marriage, how many agree? 32:39 If you're married, you'd better start celebrating, Amen. 32:41 Now listen carefully, Jesus told them 32:45 fill the water pots with what? the jars... with... 32:50 and it took two men to carry them, 32:52 "fill them with water, fill them with water. " 32:57 "What? fill them with water? 32:58 We need to go out and crush some grapes and so forth. " 33:02 "No, fill them with water. " 33:04 They had to do their part. 33:06 He told the disciples on two occasions. 33:10 "Here, take this bread and this fish 33:13 and start distributing them. " 33:15 Do your part. 33:17 "Lord, Lord, command me... 33:20 help me to be able to walk on the water like you, 33:23 like you, like you, like you... 33:24 I want to be like you... like you... " 33:27 "All right, then do your part. " 33:28 You want to have a character like Jesus, 33:31 you want to be like Him, do what He does, 33:33 act like He does, speak like He does, 33:34 do your part, get out of the boat... 33:37 get out of the boat... do something, 33:39 get those habits developed. 33:41 Do your part... I believe most people 33:46 comprising the Remnant Church 33:47 are waiting for something 33:51 to happen, 33:52 like the man by the Pool of Bethesda 33:55 who was waiting 33:56 for the moving of the water. 33:58 Tradition has it that, 34:00 you know, there was... I should say, 34:01 the Scripture does talk about 34:03 there was this moving of the water, 34:04 and so the first person they believed... 34:07 that the first person who arrived there 34:09 to get in the water, 34:11 was going to be healed and delivered, 34:14 whatever the paralysis 34:15 regardless of the debilitating disease or sickness 34:18 and so he was there... and in that condition... 34:21 he was in that condition for 38 years 34:22 we don't know how many years 34:24 he was there by the Pool of Bethesda 34:25 but he was without hope, he was in the pit of despair, 34:29 and Jesus came by... 34:32 you see, he was waiting for something, 34:35 he was waiting for the wrong thing. 34:37 I don't know what you're waiting for 34:39 but I say, "Wait no longer, 34:41 Jesus is here, bending over you, 34:43 like He did to the man at the Pool of Bethesda 34:46 and he said, 'Get up. '" 34:49 No... I take that back... 34:50 He first said, "Do you want to get better?" 34:55 Let's apply it... You want to be on fire? 35:00 You want to be on fire for Jesus? 35:05 Then do something, "Respond to my Word 35:11 because is not my Word, like fire?" Jeremiah 23. 35:19 Get up and walk "in the fire" 35:24 John chapter 5. 35:26 "he got up and he went forth" I don't know... 35:30 sprinting, hopping, jumping, I mean... he was renewed... 35:35 Why? He did his part. 35:37 Do the first works. 35:40 I want to tell you this, I believe this with all my heart 35:43 if you develop an hour of prayer each day 35:49 you will be so close to God 35:53 that you will hear the thoughts of God more readily. 35:58 How many believe that God has thoughts? 36:00 He says, 36:02 "... I know the thoughts I have towards you... " 36:04 Would you agree? Little by little 36:06 he reveals those thoughts. 36:07 How many want to know God's plan for your life? 36:10 You want to know... "God, why am I here? 36:13 What am I doing? What is your will? 36:15 Would you agree? When he speaks into your 36:17 perplexities, you're going to have peace. 36:19 Would you agree? When you know 36:23 that you're where God wants you to be 36:25 and you're doing what He wants you to do, 36:27 and He's spoken that into your heart, 36:29 because in prayer, come on now, 36:31 you got to have time in prayer 36:33 in order to recognize and hear the word of God. 36:37 Would you agree, when you hear His voice, 36:39 helping you in your parenting, because you spent that hour, 36:41 helping you with your marriage because you spent that hour, 36:44 helping you... let me tell you something, 36:46 that will give you "fire" 36:47 when He speaks to you, that will give you fire, 36:50 oh, how many times, I will go to the Lord in prayer 36:54 and the Lord will speak to me 36:56 of how to help Caleb, 36:58 my 10-year-old, my Fifth Grader, 37:00 how to help my Jordan, 37:01 I want to spend 37:04 eternity with my family, 37:06 but I cannot be the dad or the husband 37:12 that I am intended to be by God 37:14 without, I believe, much time in secret prayer. 37:18 Fathers, I know you love your kids, 37:21 but aren't they worth... 37:23 aren't they worth daddy spending time on his knees 37:28 for at least one hour? 37:30 I'm not trying to give you a guilt trip... 37:32 I'm opening my heart to you, 37:34 I do not know how to parent with fire and glowing face, 37:40 and a pleasant tone and a happy disposition 37:43 on a consistent basis without much prayer. 37:47 How many agree? Things will try us as parents 37:50 and grandparents. 37:51 How many agree? Your kids know the buttons 37:54 and Jesus... Jesus will help you... 38:02 The other day, 38:03 one of my children did something wrong, 38:08 I know it's hard to believe, 38:10 but they did something wrong, 38:11 and it was that something that they'd done before, 38:15 and it was something I told them clearly 38:19 I don't know... a thousand times not to do it, 38:21 had prayed with them, labored with them, 38:23 they did it again, just the other day, 38:27 and so I'm feeling a little frustrated, 38:31 dads get that way, moms get that way, 38:34 I'm feeling frustrated, I said, "Lord... " 38:36 but the Lord has impressed me, "Go pray... " 38:40 and so what I'm doing is, 38:42 I'm going to look for some Scriptures, 38:46 and I'm thinking, what can I say to my son 38:48 that's really... have you ever felt like that? 38:51 it's like "What can I say?" 38:52 Now what can I say? 38:54 I can say the same thing a thousand different ways, 38:56 you know your children can feel the atmosphere around you, 38:59 and the atmosphere around you 39:03 is a reflection of your character. 39:04 Adam and Eve had that holy light about them. 39:08 How many believe that was their holy character? 39:11 And so I sat down with one of my children 39:17 and they were surprised, you know, 39:22 I've handled it many times this way but not always 39:25 and they said, "Oh, you're not upset, 39:32 you're not going to lecture me" I said, "No... " 39:36 then I just said, "I do want to say this... " 39:39 and I just wrote it on a piece of paper, 39:41 "Now repent... " 39:43 I said, "Do you know what that is?" 39:45 and they took a pen I had, and began to write down 39:49 on the piece of paper, 39:52 and then I wrote something down 39:54 and then they wrote something else, 39:55 even more words than I was writing down 39:56 we were engaged in an impromptu Bible Study... 40:02 I believe the Holy Spirit helped me and my child 40:08 to bond instead of lecture. 40:11 Now don't get me wrong, 40:15 I was still able to get a point across 40:17 but it was done, really in the terms of the Holy Spirit. 40:23 Would you agree, 40:24 when you sense Jesus helping you in your parenting, 40:27 you can be on fire for Jesus, 40:30 because when you know 40:31 He's helping you with your children, how many agree? 40:33 That gives you a bounce in your step. 40:37 It gives you joy, would you agree? 40:40 I don't care what sermons you hear, 40:43 I don't care what good things you do, 40:47 if you don't feel like Jesus is helping you as a parent, 40:50 it robs you of your fire, don't get me wrong, 40:52 it doesn't mean your children respond 40:54 you need to know whether they respond or not 40:56 that you are walking in the spirit 40:59 and you're on fire for Jesus, 41:01 and you do whatever you can do and at the end of the day, 41:04 "Lord, I was walking with you as Enoch" 41:08 I don't know how to get that except that hour in prayer, 41:13 that secret prayer. 41:15 Mom, you... by and large set the pace and tone 41:21 of the home atmosphere. 41:22 Your children are studying your face, 41:26 they're evaluating your tone, it's not just what you say 41:30 it's the tone, would you agree? 41:32 Learn communication, it's not primarily the words 41:35 it's the body language, it's the tone. 41:37 Kind of like... sometimes... 41:40 my daughter will say, "I don't feel Caleb loves me" 41:47 because maybe they had a disagreement, 41:48 "I don't feel Caleb loves me" 41:50 I said, "No, he loves you. " 41:52 "No, I don't feel it... " feel... feel... 41:57 You know that love that is not felt 42:00 sometimes is not love, now listen carefully, 42:03 listen carefully, because, the hour of prayer 42:06 can help you with controlling your feelings 42:10 and having the right feelings. 42:12 Listen carefully to me, so, I said, "Caleb, you know... 42:15 you need to help Jordan know that she's loved. " 42:19 "I love her... 42:20 Jordan, you know I love you" 42:24 all right... that's not working too well 42:27 let's try something else. 42:29 Tone... is everything. 42:31 The hour of prayer changes everything about who we are. 42:39 Habits, tone, facial expressions, 42:43 atmosphere around us, our thoughts, our motives, 42:46 everything about us 42:48 it all is a result of spending time with your Father in heaven. 42:52 No wonder Jesus showed us 42:55 how to develop a character that is pleasing to God. 42:58 You have to be much in prayer and then from there 43:01 you go to the people, you go to your family. 43:04 Oh come on now... this is practical. 43:07 Nobody can mistake what is being said here today. 43:12 Spend time in prayer. 43:15 I think about now... the fourth habit. 43:19 The fourth habit: as our time is running out. 43:23 Fourth habit: and this is found in Daniel chapter 6 43:26 Daniel chapter 6, 43:29 Daniel chapter 6, go there with me, 43:35 Daniel chapter 6, when Daniel was in Babylon, 43:42 and ultimately the Medes and the Persians took over, 43:50 and under King Darius, 43:52 there was the decree that went forth 43:55 that every person was to only pray to the King, for 30 days. 44:02 There were conspirators... those who hated Daniel, 44:06 and they're trying to find fault with him 44:09 and the only thing they could figure out 44:11 is... he is so faithful and so consistent 44:14 and so habitual, in his commitment to God, 44:18 how are we going to possibly discover and expose 44:22 some fault with the Government to get him in trouble? 44:25 So they influenced and pressured the king 44:29 to issue this decree. 44:30 So there was a law in the land 44:34 that was passed with stiff penalties 44:37 to only pray to Darius. 44:39 But Daniel had a habit... everybody say "habit" 44:44 he had a habit that he would not alter. 44:48 Daniel chapter 6 and verse 10. 44:51 This habit was so ingrained and so consistent 44:55 that he would rather go to the lions 44:57 than give up his habit. 44:59 "Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, 45:02 he went home; and in his upper room 45:05 with his windows open toward Jerusalem 45:07 he knelt down on his knees three times that day, 45:11 and prayed and gave thanks before his God, 45:13 as was his... " what everyone? 45:15 Custom... what's another word there? 45:17 His habit... his trend... 45:19 his tradition... since early days. 45:22 Daniel had a habit, it was fixed, it was cemented, 45:28 it was in stone, he would spend time with God 45:31 three times a day, he would go and kneel before God 45:36 three times a day, and give thanks. 45:39 I tell people, "Start the day right, 45:42 end it right, but how about keeping it right?" 45:45 Because here... it is possible that you spend that time, 45:49 you have a good time with the Lord in the morning, 45:51 but then you leave everything, you forget everything. 45:53 How many agree? There's got to be a habit 45:56 of remembering to seek the Lord throughout the day 45:59 and praying three times a day and in your family, 46:03 there should be morning family worship 46:05 and evening family worship. 46:06 Now listen carefully to me, this is an important habit. 46:11 Psalm 55 verse 17... David said, 46:16 "Evening, and morning, and at noon... " 46:19 three times a day, "I will seek you Lord. " 46:22 we find it there as well, so pray three times a day. 46:26 now, listen to me, you, who are at work, 46:29 that may mean, 46:30 you need to go out to your car 46:32 during some coffee break they have 46:34 or maybe during your lunch break. 46:36 You need to find a time when you can cloister yourself 46:39 alone with God and wrap that mantle of communion around you 46:43 and spend time... even if it's for five minutes, 46:46 ten minutes, fifteen minutes, 46:48 take that time with God in prayer. 46:51 Isn't it true? Prayer must become habitual, 46:55 it must become... 46:57 not something we do once in a while, 46:59 but rather... who we are, 47:01 we are not people that just pray, 47:03 we are prayerful people. 47:06 Next and final habit: 47:09 next and final habit: Keep a journal of miracles 47:17 that Jesus is working in your life. 47:20 I have in my pocket, what really is precious to me. 47:24 I got this, I think, from Staples 47:27 or one of these office supplies places, 47:30 and I just started off here... 47:33 I started, I think, in this one... around April 47:35 and I started writing in there 47:38 miracles that the Lord has worked 47:41 and as I see the miracles that He works, 47:45 it gives me more faith. 47:47 I wrote this down, a couple of months ago 47:54 we were holding a crusade in Hammond, Louisiana, 47:57 we were down there in that area for seven weeks 48:00 and my family, praise the Lord, was with me... the whole time, 48:04 and I was in the Church Sanctuary towards the front, 48:08 I was praying... oh, let me back up... 48:09 one morning I woke up and before I went down to my knees 48:15 and so forth, when I was getting out of bed, 48:17 in the RV, all of a sudden the Lord spoke to me 48:20 and said, "Smile" 48:24 I just knew that was from the Lord. 48:26 Now, don't get me wrong, I believe I smile a lot 48:30 but I don't know about you 48:31 I'm sure there's room for improvement, 48:34 I need to smile more, how many are with me? 48:35 Come on, we all smile more... all right. 48:37 So, I said, "Okay Lord, I'm going to smile more" 48:41 and then I made a note that I need to smile more 48:46 I think it was on a 3-by-5 card or some piece of paper, 48:48 I made a note... I need to smile more. 48:50 So I took about, I don't know, an hour in prayer, 48:53 and I'm praying, and meanwhile while I was there, 48:56 eventually my daughter, Jordan, comes in 48:59 and she's kneeling down next to me 49:01 I think she's coloring or doing something, you know, 49:04 and writing, making notes or something like that, 49:08 and at the end of my prayer time, 49:10 the Lord led me to my note again, 49:12 and reinforced it once again at the end of my prayer time, 49:16 you know, just as I'm saying, "Lord, is there... " 49:18 I always think, "Okay Lord, I'm ending my prayer time 49:20 is there any final thing you want to say to me?" 49:23 And the Lord impressed me, "Smile... " second time... 49:26 while I'm looking at that, 49:28 she was not looking at that, 49:31 she's over here and so forth, but she's near in proximity, 49:34 she comes to me, at that very moment, 49:37 and says, "Daddy, how do you spell the word 'smile?'" 49:40 Okay Lord, I get the message. 49:44 I wrote it down in my prayer journal 49:47 or I should say, my miracle book. 49:49 I think about another time, my son, oh, I gave it away... 49:55 which one... all right... 49:56 my son 49:59 was not listening, 50:01 it happens once in a while, 50:04 we were there in Hammond, Seventh-day Adventist Church, 50:07 and it came time where we would eat there, 50:10 we would stay in the RV 50:11 but we would eat there in the Fellowship Hall, 50:13 and mommy was cooking and getting a lunch together, 50:17 and so, she called, 50:19 "Caleb, time to eat, come on, it's time to eat. " 50:22 Well, he was in one of the Sabbath School rooms, 50:24 "Come on, it's time to eat... " 50:26 and so, he didn't come right away, 50:28 after several calls... 50:31 and I think, I might have even thrown in a call there, you know 50:34 sometimes, I try to act... oh, mommy's voice... 50:36 where I'm saying, "Okay, it's your dad too... " 50:37 you know... and eventually... he came... 50:42 and I said, "Caleb, you did not come when we called you. " 50:46 "Oh, I'm sorry... da, da, da, whatever... " he said 50:49 and I said, "follow me" 50:51 so I took him to the back of the Fellowship Hall 50:55 where there was a door that leads to the hallway 50:58 and then leads out of the church, 51:00 I said, "follow me" so I took him, 51:01 I figured, "I'm going to put him in a corner, 51:03 and just let him have a time-out. " 51:05 And so, 51:07 wanting to be creative in this, I thought, 51:10 "You know what? if I let him stand in a corner 51:13 in the Fellowship Hall, 51:14 he's just going to be looking at us 51:16 and he's going to... kind of make the best of it. " 51:18 I thought, "No, that's not painful enough" 51:20 so I opened the door and I said, 51:22 "Here, you stand here behind the door, 51:24 right here in the corner and you stay there, 51:27 you stay there, 51:28 and do not even look out this window" 51:31 and I shut the door 51:32 and so I went over the table and I thought, 51:35 "Okay, that's a good spot, 51:37 this is a good creative punishment" 51:38 and so, sure enough, 51:41 I looked back and there he's peeping out there, 51:43 there's a rectangular window similar to these Sanctuary 51:46 door windows, and he's kind of... you know... 51:49 I said, "No, no, no, no, no," motioning to him 51:51 "ah... ah... back in the corner, no... no peeking" 51:54 so, he's there for a while 51:56 and he would... kind of kept peeking here and there, 51:58 and I said, "You're going to stay in there longer... " 52:01 Well, eventually, it came time to let him loose. 52:05 So I went there, to the door, 52:08 and I opened the door, 52:10 and lo and behold I couldn't believe it, 52:12 about right there by the rectangular window, 52:16 they had put up on the door, 52:18 actually to the side of the rectangular window, 52:22 they'd put on the door, on the back of the bulletin, 52:25 "Please keep this door shut" 52:27 "please keep this door shut" 52:30 well, what happened is that when I closed the door, 52:36 boom, the tape on the top let loose, 52:38 and when I closed the door, 52:40 the front of the bulletin came down 52:43 right in front, 52:44 remember the rectangular window is right there, 52:45 so he would have had to pass by the front of that bulletin 52:48 to look out the rectangular window. 52:50 You know, I'm always praying, 52:52 "Lord, could you please reinforce what I'm doing. " 52:54 How many need God reinforcing stuff? 52:56 And so, lo and behold, 52:58 I'm looking at that as I'm letting him out, 53:00 and I couldn't believe it, 53:01 the beautiful bulletin front said, 53:04 "Humbled and obedient" 53:07 and I said, "Caleb, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute... 53:10 hey, Caleb, look at this. " 53:12 And he even got it, and he was like, "Wow!" 53:14 "thank you Jesus," I wrote it down. 53:21 A number of months ago, we were with the Pathfinders 53:26 and we had just arrived and Caleb was all excited 53:31 and Jordan's excited, 53:33 and it came time for one of the main meetings 53:37 there in Texas, at their new Lake Whitney Camp, 53:41 and so, they were going to have a main meeting, 53:45 all the Pathfinders meeting together 53:47 with their Leaders and so forth, at the big tent, 53:49 and so, Caleb was getting ready to go there 53:51 and I wanted to give him some fatherly counsel 53:54 so I said to him, I said, "Caleb... " 53:57 I said, "remember, you have a special 54:00 calling upon your life, 54:01 I believe that God wants you to be a good Leader 54:04 and set an example, 54:05 I believe God wants to use you as a Leader," 54:08 and so he went in to the tent, 54:10 and out of the... I don't know... probably... 54:13 went in the tent, a 1,000 or 2,000 54:16 I don't know how many were in that tent, 54:18 all of a sudden out of the whole big group, 54:20 he was asked to do the prayer 54:23 in confirmation of what his Daddy said... 54:27 I wrote it down. 54:29 I end with one more illustration, 54:32 because I can go on for hours about miracles, 54:35 miracles, miracles, 54:36 you want to get on fire, stay on fire, 54:38 open your eyes, 54:39 He's working miracles in your parenting, 54:41 in your marriage, in your health, 54:43 in your finances, how many agree? 54:44 Our God is an awesome God, 54:46 and so I'll tell you what happened in closing. 54:49 Ten years ago, when Caleb was born, 54:52 in 2001, we kept him home for a couple of months, 54:55 we didn't him to get exposed to all sorts of people 54:58 and so forth, until his immune system 55:00 was a little strengthened for a month or two, 55:02 then we took the train, 55:03 we didn't want to fly with a little baby, 55:05 so we took the train from... 55:07 we lived in Pennsylvania, 55:08 we took it from New Jersey all the way over to Oregon 55:11 where we were going to do a crusade in Sweet Home, Oregon 55:15 and when we arrived, 55:17 when we arrived there, 55:19 the first Sabbath that we took our baby, Caleb, to church, 55:24 I was holding him, cradling him in my arms, 55:28 and I went to the front of the church 55:30 after the church service, after the people were gone, 55:34 and I just knelt down there, 55:36 you know I was a... 55:37 late-blooming dad, 55:39 and I'm 53, and I got a ten-year-old 55:41 do some math... and I'm holding my baby 55:45 and saying, "Oh Lord... " very emotional moment 55:48 first Sabbath, first Sabbath in church, 55:51 so I took my Bible, 55:53 I took my Bible and I just... 55:56 "Lord, oh Lord, speak to me" 55:58 and I opened to Jeremiah 1 verses 4 and 5, 56:04 "Before you were born, before you were formed, 56:09 I called you and ordained you to be a prophet. " 56:15 "I've called you... " 56:17 and I knew what God was telling me, 56:20 "Mark, I'm calling Caleb as well. " 56:23 But it's not enough... if dad believes that, 56:27 and here recently, Caleb was asked to give a sermon 56:33 a number of months ago, this year, 56:35 he was asked to give the sermon, unsolicited, 56:38 he was asked to do the sermon and I told him, 56:41 "Caleb, we will never make you preach... if you want to do it, 56:48 if you want to do it, if it comes from your heart. " 56:51 Oh how encouraging, 56:52 and so, they had to do a practice, 56:55 they had to do a practice, 56:57 and there were a lot of kids going to do... 56:59 reading Scriptures and a play and singing songs and so forth 57:02 and then as they were going through, 57:04 there at the Louisville Seventh-day Adventist 57:05 Church School... as they were going through 57:07 in the afternoon... just prior to me picking them up 57:09 from school... Caleb and Jordan, 57:11 it came time for Caleb, I wasn't there, 57:14 but it came time for him to practice his sermon 57:17 and the sermon was to only be about 10 minutes, 57:19 but they were only going to let him practice 57:22 for just a couple of minutes, 57:23 and when he practiced, a teacher... 57:26 afterwards... came up to me and said, 57:30 "We were in tears... we were in tears... " 57:34 and then as we took off my son said to me, 57:38 "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, 57:40 I know what my calling is Daddy I know what my calling is.
