Hello and welcome to
"Behold the Lamb Presents."
00:00:42.30\00:00:45.14
I truly believe that
we have a message today
00:00:45.17\00:00:47.91
that will be
inspiring, encouraging
00:00:47.94\00:00:50.95
and be a blessing to
each and every one of you
00:00:50.98\00:00:53.62
who choose to
study along with us.
00:00:53.65\00:00:56.75
This message contains
another small piece of prophecy
00:00:56.79\00:01:00.46
that is being fulfilled
even as we speak today.
00:01:00.49\00:01:04.23
We have chosen to
entitle today's message
00:01:04.26\00:01:06.76
"In a Few Months."
00:01:06.80\00:01:08.56
Allow me to read to
you the very sentence
00:01:08.60\00:01:11.83
from the book
"Early Writings" on page 67
00:01:11.87\00:01:15.27
that this title is taken
from and this will help to begin
00:01:15.30\00:01:19.34
to put today's message
into proper perspective.
00:01:19.37\00:01:23.55
"Said the angel, 'Deny
self, ye must step fast.'
00:01:23.58\00:01:28.32
Some of us have had
time to get the truth
00:01:28.35\00:01:31.29
and to advance step by step,
and every step we have taken
00:01:31.32\00:01:35.96
has given us
strength to take the next.
00:01:35.99\00:01:38.79
But now time is almost finished,
00:01:38.83\00:01:41.93
and what we have
been years learning,
00:01:41.96\00:01:44.50
they will have to
learn in a few months."
00:01:44.53\00:01:48.37
Wow. Time is almost finished.
00:01:48.40\00:01:51.31
We must step fast.
00:01:51.34\00:01:53.24
Others will have to
learn in a few months,
00:01:53.27\00:01:56.44
just a few months
00:01:56.48\00:01:57.81
what has taken most
of us years to learn.
00:01:57.85\00:02:02.48
This is a sobering
prophetic message indeed.
00:02:02.52\00:02:06.12
Just those few words
being really understood
00:02:06.15\00:02:09.52
under the unction
of the Holy Spirit
00:02:09.56\00:02:12.46
begins to grieve the heart.
00:02:12.49\00:02:14.60
It helps us to examine our lives
00:02:14.63\00:02:17.13
and to think about the
lives of our loved ones.
00:02:17.17\00:02:20.30
So get ready today
00:02:20.34\00:02:22.00
as we spend
another exciting hour
00:02:22.04\00:02:24.67
with Pastor Kenny
Shelton as he shares with us
00:02:24.71\00:02:27.88
just a few examples
00:02:27.91\00:02:29.74
of the
fulfillment of this prophecy.
00:02:29.78\00:02:32.25
But first we are
blessed to listen to a song
00:02:32.28\00:02:34.88
that is entitled
"The Wonder of It All"
00:02:34.92\00:02:37.79
as sung by Emma McDonald
from the 3ABN Worship Center.
00:02:37.82\00:02:43.02
I have found a grace to save me
00:02:51.53\00:02:58.71
In a vain and simple truth
00:02:58.74\00:03:06.55
I have made the sweetest journey
00:03:06.58\00:03:14.06
To the innocence of You
00:03:14.09\00:03:20.06
A place of what I never seek
00:03:23.90\00:03:27.60
And
00:03:27.64\00:03:31.01
It was really overwhelming
00:03:31.04\00:03:37.55
When the mountain seem too tall
00:03:37.58\00:03:40.42
How we seem like nothing more
00:03:40.45\00:03:44.25
Compare to the wonder of it all
00:03:44.29\00:03:50.13
There is a truth
that's so amazing
00:03:55.23\00:04:02.40
It has turned my heart around
00:04:02.44\00:04:08.21
There is a peace
that gives me comfort
00:04:10.11\00:04:17.65
When my head is hanging down
00:04:17.69\00:04:25.19
When the tiny thread
of faith is nearly gone
00:04:27.10\00:04:34.50
Oh, it's always overwhelming
00:04:34.54\00:04:40.28
When the mountain seem to tall
00:04:40.31\00:04:44.01
And they seem like nothing then
00:04:44.05\00:04:47.95
Compare to the wonder of it all
00:04:47.98\00:04:55.62
Mysteries of God
I'll never understand
00:04:55.66\00:05:03.20
The way this love
can fill into soul
00:05:03.23\00:05:10.37
And just to think
00:05:10.41\00:05:12.17
I'm living in
the palm of His hand
00:05:12.21\00:05:17.98
It's all my doubt
and heart we need to know
00:05:18.01\00:05:25.55
When I lay down in the evening
00:05:43.71\00:05:50.81
And I close my eyes to rest
00:05:50.85\00:05:57.22
I can wake up in the morning
00:05:58.92\00:06:06.19
Knowing I've had His best
00:06:06.23\00:06:13.17
'Cause I know my
worth of love around is deep
00:06:15.80\00:06:23.11
And I can't tell every man
00:06:23.14\00:06:28.85
How that every time I fall
00:06:28.88\00:06:32.49
He puts me up and I am safely
00:06:32.52\00:06:36.89
Held by the one who love it all
00:06:36.93\00:06:42.73
Held by the one who love it all
00:06:48.14\00:06:54.28
Praise the Lord.
00:07:12.89\00:07:14.23
Glad you joined us
today here at Behold the Lamb.
00:07:14.26\00:07:16.10
We have an exciting program.
00:07:16.13\00:07:18.57
We are gonna be
talking about prophecy.
00:07:18.60\00:07:21.44
Now again
prophecy being fulfilled
00:07:21.47\00:07:23.47
before our very eyes.
00:07:23.51\00:07:25.31
Things are happening
among God's people today
00:07:25.34\00:07:28.78
that may shock some of you
00:07:28.81\00:07:30.45
because it's been prophesied
these things will take place
00:07:30.48\00:07:34.12
and they are
and we have evidence
00:07:34.15\00:07:36.15
of these things
and we have call.
00:07:36.18\00:07:38.19
People are calling in
00:07:38.22\00:07:39.59
and saying some marvelous things
00:07:39.62\00:07:41.29
how God is
working in their life,
00:07:41.32\00:07:43.73
and it's so encouraged
us that we got so excited,
00:07:43.76\00:07:46.33
we could hardly
stand it around here.
00:07:46.36\00:07:48.23
We decided we want to
share these things with you.
00:07:48.26\00:07:51.23
So I pray today that you
will, you will be praying
00:07:51.27\00:07:53.74
as we are gonna kneel here
00:07:53.77\00:07:55.10
and have prayer in just a moment
00:07:55.14\00:07:56.47
because we are
gonna talk about--
00:07:56.50\00:07:57.84
when something you
say a matter of months,
00:07:57.87\00:07:59.97
you know, that's a
short amount of time.
00:08:00.01\00:08:02.91
Let's see what this is all about
00:08:02.94\00:08:04.51
and we are gonna
to God in prayer.
00:08:04.55\00:08:05.88
We are gonna ask for
the Holy Spirit to help us
00:08:05.91\00:08:08.45
as we go through here
00:08:08.48\00:08:09.82
because we want this to
be an encouragement to you,
00:08:09.85\00:08:11.99
so that you can be
ready to meet Jesus.
00:08:12.02\00:08:13.66
Let's pray. Shall we?
00:08:13.69\00:08:16.99
Loving Father in
heaven, we thank You again
00:08:17.03\00:08:18.76
for the privilege of prayer.
00:08:18.79\00:08:20.13
We thank You, we can
call You our heavenly Father.
00:08:20.16\00:08:22.56
Today, we come in
the name of Jesus,
00:08:22.60\00:08:24.43
we come claiming His blood.
00:08:24.47\00:08:26.47
We come boldly before the throne
00:08:26.50\00:08:28.84
because of who He
is not because of us,
00:08:28.87\00:08:32.07
anything we've ever said or done
00:08:32.11\00:08:34.28
but we want to be
covered by thy blood today.
00:08:34.31\00:08:36.18
Forgive us of our
sins and mistakes,
00:08:36.21\00:08:37.88
anything we said or done
00:08:37.91\00:08:39.68
that's not pleasing in eyesight.
00:08:39.71\00:08:41.42
Lord, bless as now we pray open
the ears, the eyes, the hearts
00:08:41.45\00:08:44.95
of everyone of Your children
00:08:44.99\00:08:46.65
that we may be
inspired to greater heights
00:08:46.69\00:08:49.49
as we look to You the author
and the finisher of our faith.
00:08:49.52\00:08:52.66
Bless us now we pray to this
00:08:52.69\00:08:54.10
and accompany us by the
power of thy Holy Spirit
00:08:54.13\00:08:56.90
and we will thank You in advance
00:08:56.93\00:08:58.27
in Jesus' name, amen.
00:08:58.30\00:09:01.87
Isn't that wonderful,
we can go to God in prayer
00:09:01.90\00:09:03.74
and we can pray
00:09:03.77\00:09:05.27
and know that
God is going to hear
00:09:05.31\00:09:06.98
and going to
bless us with His power.
00:09:07.01\00:09:09.88
How something I do--
I really want to read
00:09:09.91\00:09:11.28
before I get into
this message and I just--
00:09:11.31\00:09:14.05
I found it, I was in my
desk just before the program
00:09:14.08\00:09:17.32
and I saw it, I
read it many times.
00:09:17.35\00:09:19.22
But this is actually
was written in 1997, 1997.
00:09:19.25\00:09:24.16
Now we know that
the devil is angry.
00:09:24.19\00:09:27.16
We know that he is trying
to discourage God's people.
00:09:27.20\00:09:30.03
So we want to
encourage you today
00:09:30.07\00:09:31.47
by some things that the Lord
has allowed us to see, to hear,
00:09:31.50\00:09:35.37
and we want to give
those back to you to help you.
00:09:35.40\00:09:37.87
But I was reading this here
00:09:37.91\00:09:39.24
because I remember a time
back in 1997 in our church
00:09:39.27\00:09:43.18
that was going through
a little difficult time.
00:09:43.21\00:09:45.58
The enemy was trying to come in
00:09:45.61\00:09:47.05
and he was trying to
cause division and separation
00:09:47.08\00:09:49.48
and some
different type of doctrine
00:09:49.52\00:09:51.75
and so on was being
taught in the church.
00:09:51.79\00:09:54.06
And so we are taking
stand for what was truth.
00:09:54.09\00:09:57.53
And very, very
interesting not long after that,
00:09:57.56\00:10:00.00
oh, the Holy Spirit was good
and all worked out wonderful
00:10:00.03\00:10:02.73
but my mother, my
mother sat down one evening
00:10:02.76\00:10:05.57
and she wrote a little poem.
00:10:05.60\00:10:08.64
It's a page long here
but you just bear with me.
00:10:08.67\00:10:11.44
This is special to me.
00:10:11.47\00:10:12.81
This is-- my mother wrote this
00:10:12.84\00:10:14.18
and she wrote it
about the problems
00:10:14.21\00:10:15.58
that were going on.
00:10:15.61\00:10:17.15
Let me tell you, they
are still going on today.
00:10:17.18\00:10:19.25
They are going on everywhere
00:10:19.28\00:10:20.62
but God's people are
rising right to the cause.
00:10:20.65\00:10:23.12
He calls their names,
were rising by the power of God
00:10:23.15\00:10:25.79
and were doing what?
00:10:25.82\00:10:27.19
Mighty things in
the name of Jesus.
00:10:27.22\00:10:29.29
Notice what this whole page here
00:10:29.32\00:10:31.49
and I want you to just
kind of think about every word
00:10:31.53\00:10:33.60
as I read this to you.
00:10:33.63\00:10:35.43
It says, one day old
Satan came to earth to see
00:10:35.46\00:10:39.93
what he could do.
00:10:39.97\00:10:41.44
He said, I will
visit the Herrin Church
00:10:41.47\00:10:44.61
and sit right in the pews.
00:10:44.64\00:10:46.94
The Herrin
Church has troubled me
00:10:46.98\00:10:48.64
for such a long, long time.
00:10:48.68\00:10:51.35
It's time that I get busy
and work upon their minds.
00:10:51.38\00:10:55.12
These people used to love
the Lord with all their heart
00:10:55.15\00:10:57.85
and their soul but I
began to trouble them
00:10:57.89\00:11:01.56
because this is my goal.
00:11:01.59\00:11:04.33
I will start by
hurting feelings,
00:11:04.36\00:11:07.30
then I will gossip all day long,
00:11:07.33\00:11:09.96
then I will crucify the pastor
because he's been too strong.
00:11:10.00\00:11:14.84
I will discredit
all of the principles
00:11:14.87\00:11:17.01
just what I can do.
00:11:17.04\00:11:19.14
It's not a very big
job and this is very true.
00:11:19.17\00:11:23.65
Now notice this, it only
takes the working off of hearts
00:11:23.68\00:11:27.85
just one or two.
00:11:27.88\00:11:29.75
While the people's out of unity,
00:11:29.78\00:11:31.82
I will tear this church apart.
00:11:31.85\00:11:34.56
Interesting, stay with me now.
00:11:34.59\00:11:35.92
Notice, I will
tear this church apart.
00:11:35.96\00:11:38.36
Because they failed to
read and they failed to pray,
00:11:38.39\00:11:42.56
I have slipped
right into their heart.
00:11:42.60\00:11:45.23
But if they start to organize
and get back all their love
00:11:45.27\00:11:49.54
and consider others feelings
and think on things above,
00:11:49.57\00:11:53.31
notice this, then I
will just have to leave them.
00:11:53.34\00:11:57.25
Interesting.
00:11:57.28\00:11:58.61
And let Jesus have His way
because they already know that
00:11:58.65\00:12:01.72
He will come again some day.
00:12:01.75\00:12:04.52
So they must put
aside these things
00:12:04.55\00:12:07.36
if they expect
to go, notice this,
00:12:07.39\00:12:09.86
I wish that I had been different
00:12:09.89\00:12:12.49
but it's too late for me I know.
00:12:12.53\00:12:14.33
Talking about the enemy notice.
00:12:14.36\00:12:16.13
If I can't take
this church with me
00:12:16.16\00:12:18.83
then others I must find
because I'm very strong you see
00:12:18.87\00:12:24.31
but I will have
to leave all behind.
00:12:24.34\00:12:27.21
Written by in the
guidance of the Holy Spirit
00:12:27.24\00:12:30.05
and it was on Sabbath
morning of July the 26th, 1997
00:12:30.08\00:12:34.15
by my mother
Goldie Seddon Shelton.
00:12:34.18\00:12:36.72
So I thought it
was very interesting
00:12:36.75\00:12:38.09
and she handed that to
me and it's so talked about
00:12:38.12\00:12:40.69
the things that were going on.
00:12:40.72\00:12:42.52
And to me it was
an encouragement.
00:12:42.56\00:12:44.23
I want to be an
encouragement to you
00:12:44.26\00:12:45.79
because the enemy knows
as long as we pull together
00:12:45.83\00:12:48.06
and we study the truths
and we stand side by side
00:12:48.10\00:12:51.20
that the enemy
has no power over us.
00:12:51.23\00:12:54.64
We have been
seeing, we have been seeing
00:12:54.67\00:12:57.17
the hand of a mighty God
00:12:57.21\00:12:59.21
working here in these last days.
00:12:59.24\00:13:01.74
We talked that--
I believe that door
00:13:01.78\00:13:03.28
of probation is still open,
00:13:03.31\00:13:05.35
that God is still
calling His people
00:13:05.38\00:13:07.52
and He is calling
the 11th hour workers.
00:13:07.55\00:13:10.25
He is calling
many in to the fold
00:13:10.29\00:13:12.49
to give this message out
00:13:12.52\00:13:14.92
and it's very interesting
in our title "In a Few Months."
00:13:14.96\00:13:18.59
What does that really
mean, in a few months?
00:13:18.63\00:13:21.50
Well, my wife read
that if you remember
00:13:21.53\00:13:23.83
in the very
beginning but if you allow me
00:13:23.87\00:13:25.30
I'm gonna take the book
in "Early Writings" page 67
00:13:25.33\00:13:28.24
and read just a few--
00:13:28.27\00:13:29.97
Remember these are
some foundation things
00:13:30.01\00:13:31.77
that we are going
to be building on.
00:13:31.81\00:13:33.61
This tells where we are at
in the history of this world.
00:13:33.64\00:13:37.68
We are gonna
actually start on page 66.
00:13:37.71\00:13:40.98
Now bear with me as
I read but those of you
00:13:41.02\00:13:43.22
who have been
reading I believe that
00:13:43.25\00:13:45.09
you are going to understand.
00:13:45.12\00:13:46.45
Those of you are not
00:13:46.49\00:13:47.82
and some of this
maybe over your head,
00:13:47.86\00:13:49.19
you maybe tuning
in for the first time,
00:13:49.22\00:13:50.56
you say, I don't understand
that bless your heart.
00:13:50.59\00:13:52.83
The Holy Spirit
will help you too.
00:13:52.86\00:13:54.20
I know, I know the Holy
Spirit is going to help you.
00:13:54.23\00:13:56.80
But here for many
people who have been studying
00:13:56.83\00:13:58.70
this message for a long
time this will ring true.
00:13:58.73\00:14:02.47
Notice what it says on
page 66 and onward right here.
00:14:02.50\00:14:06.47
It says notice,
"If so, you must die
00:14:06.51\00:14:09.54
and you must live to self."
00:14:09.58\00:14:10.91
This is the way it starting out.
00:14:10.95\00:14:12.28
We must die to self
00:14:12.31\00:14:13.75
and these words
here are so familiar
00:14:13.78\00:14:15.68
especially in
Adventism here's what it says.
00:14:15.72\00:14:17.79
"Get ready, get
ready, get ready.
00:14:17.82\00:14:21.19
You must have a
greater preparation
00:14:21.22\00:14:23.16
than you now have, for the day
of the Lord cometh, both cruel"
00:14:23.19\00:14:27.43
notice this "with
wrath and fierce anger,
00:14:27.46\00:14:29.90
to lay the land desolate
00:14:29.93\00:14:32.60
and to destroy the
sinners thereof out of it."
00:14:32.63\00:14:35.80
And then it goes on to
say, "Sacrifice all to God.
00:14:35.84\00:14:38.64
Lay all upon the altar..."
00:14:38.67\00:14:40.34
And talking about
self, talking about property.
00:14:40.38\00:14:43.58
"All are living sacrifice."
00:14:43.61\00:14:46.05
I like this line
and this rings true.
00:14:46.08\00:14:48.95
It's going to take
all, we, you, me all of us.
00:14:48.98\00:14:52.42
"It will take
all to enter glory."
00:14:52.45\00:14:55.52
You are not gonna be
able to withhold anything,
00:14:55.56\00:14:57.03
it's gonna take
all to enter glory.
00:14:57.06\00:14:58.99
Then it goes on
about talking about
00:14:59.03\00:15:00.36
laying your
treasures on up in heaven.
00:15:00.40\00:15:02.83
Now let me just
go right down to here
00:15:02.86\00:15:04.80
and you heard some of it
00:15:04.83\00:15:06.17
at the beginning of the program.
00:15:06.20\00:15:07.54
Here's what it said.
00:15:07.57\00:15:08.90
"Said, 'Deny self,
you must step fast.'"
00:15:08.94\00:15:11.54
Some of us who had
time..." Notice this.
00:15:11.57\00:15:13.54
"To get the truth and
to advance step by step...
00:15:13.58\00:15:17.68
"Notice what happens.
00:15:17.71\00:15:19.05
"Every step we have taken
00:15:19.08\00:15:20.72
has given us
strength to take the next.
00:15:20.75\00:15:24.02
But now time is
almost finished..."
00:15:24.05\00:15:27.29
Somebody listen.
00:15:27.32\00:15:28.66
"Time is almost finished,
00:15:28.69\00:15:30.66
what we have
been years learning,
00:15:30.69\00:15:34.30
they will have to
learn in a few months."
00:15:34.33\00:15:37.50
Did you notice the
subject? In a few months.
00:15:37.53\00:15:41.10
So it's talking to
us here notice that
00:15:41.14\00:15:43.64
there will be people coming in.
00:15:43.67\00:15:45.34
Some of us have been for years
00:15:45.37\00:15:46.71
and we still don't
know what's going on
00:15:46.74\00:15:48.41
and some people is going to come
00:15:48.44\00:15:49.78
in just before probation
close, just before Jesus comes
00:15:49.81\00:15:52.95
and they are gonna
learn in a matter of months
00:15:52.98\00:15:55.08
what has taken us years.
00:15:55.12\00:15:56.89
The article goes on
00:15:56.92\00:15:58.25
because I want to
finish it what it says.
00:15:58.29\00:15:59.62
Notice it, "They
will have much to unlearn
00:15:59.65\00:16:02.99
and much to learn again."
00:16:03.02\00:16:04.83
Keep this in mind
as I share some letters
00:16:04.86\00:16:06.49
with you here in a moment.
00:16:06.53\00:16:07.90
"Those who would not
receive the mark of the beast
00:16:07.93\00:16:10.27
and his image when
the decree goes forth,
00:16:10.30\00:16:13.44
must have decision now to say,
00:16:13.47\00:16:15.24
Nay, we will not regard
the institution of the beast."
00:16:15.27\00:16:20.58
What an awesome time.
We would have to step fast.
00:16:20.61\00:16:22.74
Why? Because time is closing up.
00:16:22.78\00:16:25.78
God's people are surfacing.
00:16:25.81\00:16:27.72
The Holy Spirit is
reaching out and touching people
00:16:27.75\00:16:31.15
and drawing them into the cause.
00:16:31.19\00:16:33.82
Drawing them and oh, I'm amazed
00:16:33.86\00:16:36.02
as we get some of these
phone calls, many, many,
00:16:36.06\00:16:38.59
where people just
in a matter have--
00:16:38.63\00:16:40.30
listen to me
carefully, in a matter of months
00:16:40.33\00:16:43.60
and in some cases
00:16:43.63\00:16:44.97
and I will read
letter in a matter of weeks.
00:16:45.00\00:16:47.70
Didn't know
anything about this message
00:16:47.74\00:16:49.20
in a matter of weeks
they have already grasp
00:16:49.24\00:16:50.81
some of the vital truths
00:16:50.84\00:16:52.67
and they are following
them by the grace of God.
00:16:52.71\00:16:55.54
What does that tell you?
00:16:55.58\00:16:57.55
That tells you we are nearing
the end of time, doesn't it?
00:16:57.58\00:17:00.42
And so with
nearing the end of time
00:17:00.45\00:17:01.78
we must realize, this must--
00:17:01.82\00:17:03.35
well, I want to
work on your mind,
00:17:03.39\00:17:04.75
I want you to say,
oh, we are maybe near
00:17:04.79\00:17:07.46
than what we thought
because the Bible tells us
00:17:07.49\00:17:10.99
in the Book of Matthew verse 44.
00:17:11.03\00:17:13.66
"Therefore be you also ready..."
00:17:13.70\00:17:15.56
You remember that.
00:17:15.60\00:17:16.93
"For in such an
hour as you think
00:17:16.97\00:17:18.53
not the Son of man cometh."
00:17:18.57\00:17:20.77
Be ready, get
ready, take some steps
00:17:20.80\00:17:23.87
where people is
gonna be coming in,
00:17:23.91\00:17:25.24
the 11th hour workers
learning, learning, learning,
00:17:25.27\00:17:27.04
grasping the truths quickly.
00:17:27.08\00:17:28.91
Not debating
over and we are saying
00:17:28.94\00:17:30.28
well, you know, I'm not sure
if this is going to be accept--
00:17:30.31\00:17:33.11
they hear them,
00:17:33.15\00:17:35.02
they are honest in
heart, they are praying.
00:17:35.05\00:17:36.99
Remember all these
folks, all these folks
00:17:37.02\00:17:39.25
that are calling in have
been praying as mentioned
00:17:39.29\00:17:41.86
in the beginning of the program.
00:17:41.89\00:17:43.22
They have been
praying what is truth
00:17:43.26\00:17:45.33
and they are
willing to walk in the truth
00:17:45.36\00:17:46.86
and it's a matter
of lifestyle changes
00:17:46.90\00:17:49.40
so different to them but
yet they are willing to do
00:17:49.43\00:17:52.43
and what an encouragement it
is because it helps me to know
00:17:52.47\00:17:55.17
that we are
nearing the end of time.
00:17:55.20\00:17:56.91
This is a sign,
this is the point,
00:17:56.94\00:17:59.14
this is something
God has given this church
00:17:59.17\00:18:00.91
so we can say, yes!
00:18:00.94\00:18:02.98
Yes, this is it, just
before probation closes.
00:18:03.01\00:18:06.51
Most people don't know
that. They don't want to hear.
00:18:06.55\00:18:08.32
The devil is
trying his best to stop it
00:18:08.35\00:18:10.55
but you know what, he can't.
00:18:10.59\00:18:12.32
Let me just share a
few things with you.
00:18:12.35\00:18:14.79
Now remember in a few months
00:18:14.82\00:18:17.46
this letter here it
comes from California.
00:18:17.49\00:18:18.93
We won't mention names,
00:18:18.96\00:18:20.30
we don't want
to embarrass anyone
00:18:20.33\00:18:22.63
but it's very
interesting they call in.
00:18:22.66\00:18:24.23
we have to stop
packs of, you know,
00:18:24.27\00:18:25.77
stop this packs of this
all kind of people calling in
00:18:25.80\00:18:28.94
and have a request and
they are wanting the DVDs
00:18:28.97\00:18:31.47
and they are wanting CDs
00:18:31.51\00:18:32.91
and they are wanting
to know more about Jesus.
00:18:32.94\00:18:34.98
So we are grateful and thankful
00:18:35.01\00:18:36.44
for these especially
when they began to relate
00:18:36.48\00:18:39.11
what God has done for them.
00:18:39.15\00:18:41.28
It's encouraging isn't it?
00:18:41.32\00:18:42.65
Now notice this
00:18:42.68\00:18:44.02
and what it's
talking about here.
00:18:44.05\00:18:45.39
Now this individual
here has just accepted
00:18:45.42\00:18:47.49
the message of
Adventism for few months.
00:18:47.52\00:18:51.63
What's our
title? In a few months.
00:18:51.66\00:18:54.86
In just a few months
00:18:54.90\00:18:56.46
and oh, if we
just had time to go
00:18:56.50\00:18:57.97
and just talk
about all these things.
00:18:58.00\00:19:00.30
Here's what was
happening with this person here.
00:19:00.34\00:19:02.10
This person,
California, they were praying
00:19:02.14\00:19:04.81
for the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit.
00:19:04.84\00:19:07.41
They were praying
that the Spirit of God
00:19:07.44\00:19:08.94
will just get a hold of
them and just encourage them
00:19:08.98\00:19:11.71
and strengthen them
00:19:11.75\00:19:13.08
and do something
marvelous in their life.
00:19:13.11\00:19:15.72
And so they were just praying
00:19:15.75\00:19:17.09
and they would get
up early of the morning.
00:19:17.12\00:19:18.69
There's been
several hours of praying
00:19:18.72\00:19:20.59
that God would
lead them into truth.
00:19:20.62\00:19:22.36
They could find
truth and had a study
00:19:22.39\00:19:24.63
and pray for the
power of the Holy Spirit.
00:19:24.66\00:19:28.73
Said he was praying one morning,
00:19:28.76\00:19:30.10
says praying for the
power of the Holy Spirit.
00:19:30.13\00:19:31.63
Oh, I want the
Holy Spirit to come.
00:19:31.67\00:19:33.20
I know the Holy Spirit
convicts and teaches us
00:19:33.23\00:19:35.94
and gives us
victory in our life.
00:19:35.97\00:19:37.81
Gives us power to
witness and I want that power,
00:19:37.84\00:19:40.74
I'm not sure how
that can be attained.
00:19:40.78\00:19:43.21
I'm just-- I'm praying about it.
00:19:43.24\00:19:45.51
So she was impressed to
go and turn on the TV set
00:19:45.55\00:19:49.08
and she turned on
3ABN and as she turned 3ABN
00:19:49.12\00:19:52.65
on the Behold the Lamb was on.
00:19:52.69\00:19:55.79
And interesting notice,
she was praying for what?
00:19:55.82\00:19:59.63
For the power
of the Holy Spirit.
00:19:59.66\00:20:01.00
How can be
accomplished in the life
00:20:01.03\00:20:03.33
and what was "Behold
the Lamb" talking about.
00:20:03.37\00:20:05.53
It was talking
about the Holy Spirit,
00:20:05.57\00:20:06.90
the power of the
series of the Holy Spirit.
00:20:06.94\00:20:10.11
It answered every
question that that women had.
00:20:10.14\00:20:13.11
How encouraged she became
00:20:13.14\00:20:15.54
and she began to
look at these things
00:20:15.58\00:20:16.95
and she said, "Oh,
this is exactly what I want.
00:20:16.98\00:20:20.55
This is exactly what I've needed
00:20:20.58\00:20:22.52
so that I can
continue to grow for Jesus."
00:20:22.55\00:20:25.75
Do you realize this lady
here we're talking about here,
00:20:25.79\00:20:28.86
still had things in her life
00:20:28.89\00:20:31.49
that should not have been there?
00:20:31.53\00:20:32.96
Let me just-- just
name the couple of them
00:20:32.99\00:20:34.40
'cause she told me about
it and I wrote them down.
00:20:34.43\00:20:37.90
She is praying for the
power of the Holy Spirit.
00:20:37.93\00:20:40.20
She begins to see that
series of "Behold the Lamb."
00:20:40.24\00:20:42.37
She began to follow them
00:20:42.40\00:20:43.74
and put them in
practice by faith.
00:20:43.77\00:20:45.74
All because God gave her victory
00:20:45.77\00:20:47.34
over the cigarettes,
00:20:47.38\00:20:48.71
He gave her victory over
the tobacco, the alcohol,
00:20:48.74\00:20:51.75
and other things in her life.
00:20:51.78\00:20:53.78
The Spirit of God
began to give her victory
00:20:53.82\00:20:55.98
through the power
of the Holy Spirit
00:20:56.02\00:20:57.92
and she was praising
God because she said,
00:20:57.95\00:20:59.85
I praise God
that I've found 3ABN.
00:20:59.89\00:21:02.86
I'm thankful that I've
found "Behold the Lamb."
00:21:02.89\00:21:06.23
See God is working on people
00:21:06.26\00:21:07.60
who are praying
for what is truth.
00:21:07.63\00:21:11.03
Interesting in a
matter of months,
00:21:11.07\00:21:13.30
so immediately she
goes and finds her a church.
00:21:13.34\00:21:15.80
But sometimes you
know, you get churches
00:21:15.84\00:21:17.51
and all churches are not alike
00:21:17.54\00:21:18.94
and some of you
won't like to hear that
00:21:18.97\00:21:20.68
but it's true.
00:21:20.71\00:21:22.28
But God's bringing
people in who are enlightening
00:21:22.31\00:21:24.91
their minds so
quick they can detect,
00:21:24.95\00:21:28.02
now stay with me just a minute.
00:21:28.05\00:21:29.38
They can detect some of
you who've been on the pews
00:21:29.42\00:21:32.55
almost all of your lives
00:21:32.59\00:21:34.06
and you are not
really converted.
00:21:34.09\00:21:36.39
These people are
converted when they come in
00:21:36.42\00:21:38.43
and they are not
trying to just look at people.
00:21:38.46\00:21:39.86
They know they'll look to Jesus
00:21:39.89\00:21:41.30
but it's very obvious that
we are not doing the things
00:21:41.33\00:21:43.60
that we should be doing.
00:21:43.63\00:21:45.20
Now it's a matter of salvation.
00:21:45.23\00:21:47.17
But we need to be
obedient to the word of God.
00:21:47.20\00:21:50.71
And so they can
become discouraged
00:21:50.74\00:21:52.67
but we encourage them here
00:21:52.71\00:21:54.04
to take their
eyes off of the men
00:21:54.08\00:21:55.41
and put them on Jesus.
00:21:55.44\00:21:57.15
Let me tell you
what a change took place
00:21:57.18\00:21:59.15
in these individuals' life.
00:21:59.18\00:22:01.48
Read something
and jotted in down
00:22:01.52\00:22:02.85
as I was thinking on
this and praying about this.
00:22:02.88\00:22:05.09
3 Testimonies, 270.
00:22:05.12\00:22:06.76
This may be a little
bit heavy duty for some.
00:22:06.79\00:22:09.39
Why?
00:22:09.42\00:22:10.76
Because we are rejecting things
00:22:10.79\00:22:12.13
that we know that
we should be doing.
00:22:12.16\00:22:14.46
Here it says, "God's displeasure
00:22:14.50\00:22:16.56
is upon His people, He
will not manifest His power
00:22:16.60\00:22:20.67
in the midst of them
while sins exist among them
00:22:20.70\00:22:23.91
and are fastened on those
in responsible positions."
00:22:23.94\00:22:27.74
Wow, we have an obligation.
00:22:27.78\00:22:30.75
This is the point.
00:22:30.78\00:22:32.11
The Holy Spirit is calling
people, bringing them in,
00:22:32.15\00:22:33.62
they are running
in a matter of months,
00:22:33.65\00:22:35.65
what has taken us years to learn
00:22:35.68\00:22:38.02
and some of us
years we've been learning
00:22:38.05\00:22:40.22
and we've been doing
00:22:40.26\00:22:41.59
and listen, it
shouldn't take years,
00:22:41.62\00:22:43.16
it shouldn't take me years.
00:22:43.19\00:22:44.56
The Holy Spirit can
teach us more in five minutes
00:22:44.59\00:22:46.29
than learned men of
the world can in life time.
00:22:46.33\00:22:48.96
But we've been lazy
and God's calling in people
00:22:49.00\00:22:51.73
to help finish this work
00:22:51.77\00:22:53.10
and they are saying
we know these things.
00:22:53.13\00:22:54.87
The Holy Spirit
is telling us truth
00:22:54.90\00:22:56.71
and they are willing
to walk in these things.
00:22:56.74\00:22:59.31
Called another individual
or an individual called in
00:22:59.34\00:23:02.58
and said we are
learning so much.
00:23:02.61\00:23:04.35
Talking about tuning into
3ABN. We are learning so much.
00:23:04.38\00:23:09.22
What an encouragement
and we are talking about
00:23:09.25\00:23:12.15
something when
people that are in near--`
00:23:12.19\00:23:14.49
A little more elderly.
00:23:14.52\00:23:16.52
But they are so exited
about the coming of Jesus
00:23:16.56\00:23:20.23
and as they are
attending the church,
00:23:20.26\00:23:21.60
they are finding out
that there's more than
00:23:21.63\00:23:23.06
just going to
church, sitting on the pew
00:23:23.10\00:23:24.60
and we say doing nothing.
00:23:24.63\00:23:27.17
They feel a
calling of the Spirit to go
00:23:27.20\00:23:30.17
and to warn the world
of the coming of Jesus.
00:23:30.21\00:23:33.91
So they began
to, this lady here,
00:23:33.94\00:23:35.54
just a matter of months, what?
00:23:35.58\00:23:37.35
We're going to give studies.
00:23:37.38\00:23:39.28
"I want to go
give Bible studies,
00:23:39.31\00:23:41.58
I want to try teach others
what I've been learning here
00:23:41.62\00:23:43.52
in just a matter of a
little bit of time here,
00:23:43.55\00:23:45.19
few months, I'm learning
and I want to share it."
00:23:45.22\00:23:48.39
And starts going
knocking on doors
00:23:48.42\00:23:49.92
and trying to get Bible studies
and then you know, set out
00:23:49.96\00:23:53.63
and I felt a calling to
start passing out some books.
00:23:53.66\00:23:58.47
No one else assume that
church was passing out book,
00:23:58.50\00:24:00.57
no one was seem to do anything.
00:24:00.60\00:24:03.67
She said, you know,
Holy Spirit impressed me,
00:24:03.71\00:24:05.04
you go out if
you are the only one.
00:24:05.07\00:24:08.61
Think about this.
00:24:08.64\00:24:09.98
Somebody new comes in,
all of this is new to them
00:24:10.01\00:24:11.91
but they were
empowered by the Spirit of God,
00:24:11.95\00:24:14.02
and they are saying, "Oh,
I need to do these things,
00:24:14.05\00:24:17.35
I'm learning,
it's changed my life.
00:24:17.39\00:24:19.19
It's changed every thing,
my direction and I love it
00:24:19.22\00:24:22.49
and I just want to
share it with others.
00:24:22.52\00:24:24.23
So, what the lady told
me is going to interest you.
00:24:24.26\00:24:26.36
I'm not waiting on a
meeting or board meeting
00:24:26.39\00:24:29.10
to say I can't pass out
or I can't, I'm going on
00:24:29.13\00:24:31.80
because the Holy Spirit
has asked me to do that.
00:24:31.83\00:24:34.07
Wow, how encouraging that is.
00:24:34.10\00:24:37.54
How encouraging
is the Holy Spirit,
00:24:37.57\00:24:39.27
it inspires.
00:24:39.31\00:24:41.88
But you know what?
00:24:41.91\00:24:43.24
Some of us are not doing
it but I'm gonna warn you.
00:24:43.28\00:24:44.61
Listen, the Holy
Spirit is going to bypass
00:24:44.65\00:24:47.02
those of us who
are not listening.
00:24:47.05\00:24:49.02
Let me read you another quote
00:24:49.05\00:24:50.39
that I thought
kind of went along with
00:24:50.42\00:24:51.75
what we're talking about here.
00:24:51.79\00:24:53.12
Again, we hear
this wonderful news
00:24:53.15\00:24:54.76
of what God's
people are rising up
00:24:54.79\00:24:57.79
and just going forward and
doing exactly what God said
00:24:57.83\00:25:00.13
to "Go ye into
all of the world,"
00:25:00.16\00:25:01.50
get this gospel out.
00:25:01.53\00:25:03.10
But some of us are not rising up
00:25:03.13\00:25:04.63
and Second Selected Message
16, notice what this says.
00:25:04.67\00:25:09.17
It says, "God's
Spirit..." Notice.
00:25:09.20\00:25:11.47
"Will pass by those who have had
00:25:11.51\00:25:13.78
their day of
test and opportunity."
00:25:13.81\00:25:17.11
What?
00:25:17.15\00:25:18.48
The Spirit is
going to "Pass by those
00:25:18.51\00:25:20.42
who you have had their
day of test and opportunity,
00:25:20.45\00:25:24.12
but have not
distinguished the voice of God
00:25:24.15\00:25:27.76
or has appreciated
the moves of the Spirit."
00:25:27.79\00:25:30.96
Notice this.
00:25:30.99\00:25:32.33
Underline this, look it
up, read it for yourself.
00:25:32.36\00:25:34.83
It's gonna encourage you.
00:25:34.86\00:25:37.00
If you are not been encouraged,
well, this will encourage you
00:25:37.03\00:25:38.77
because notice
this, "Then thousands,
00:25:38.80\00:25:43.61
then thousands in the
eleventh hour will see
00:25:43.64\00:25:47.31
and acknowledge the truth."
00:25:47.34\00:25:49.54
There are those
who had opportunity,
00:25:49.58\00:25:51.78
they haven't seized it.
00:25:51.81\00:25:53.15
They are doing nothing about it
00:25:53.18\00:25:54.52
but God is going to
raise in the last days,
00:25:54.55\00:25:56.48
thousands upon thousands
that will hear this truth.
00:25:56.52\00:25:59.72
They'll acknowledge
it, they will accept it.
00:25:59.75\00:26:02.32
The eleventh hour
workers oh, don't you want to be
00:26:02.36\00:26:04.03
one of those" Well, I do.
00:26:04.06\00:26:05.99
This is exciting
when I see people.
00:26:06.03\00:26:08.06
We are talking many people,
00:26:08.10\00:26:09.43
we are talking in
their 70s working for God.
00:26:09.46\00:26:13.67
Oh, what an
encouragement that is.
00:26:13.70\00:26:15.84
When I hear
about their lifestyle,
00:26:15.87\00:26:18.07
things of the past,
things that they used to do.
00:26:18.11\00:26:20.71
They turn on 3ABN,
many times just to get
00:26:20.74\00:26:23.65
"Behold the Lamb" and we love it
00:26:23.68\00:26:25.18
because they
call so we know that
00:26:25.21\00:26:26.92
they are watching
"Behold the Lamb."
00:26:26.95\00:26:28.28
They'll say, my
life has changed.
00:26:28.32\00:26:31.25
My family hardly recognizes
me, I've so changed, why?
00:26:31.29\00:26:36.32
Because I've fastened
my eyes, my heart on Jesus
00:26:36.36\00:26:40.43
and I become so encouraged
and my life has changed.
00:26:40.46\00:26:42.90
I'm not the same
and that's exactly
00:26:42.93\00:26:45.07
the way it should
be as a Christian.
00:26:45.10\00:26:46.97
When you accept
Christ in your heart,
00:26:47.00\00:26:48.34
you should not be the same
00:26:48.37\00:26:49.70
and if you're
still the same you were
00:26:49.74\00:26:51.07
when you accepted,
something is wrong.
00:26:51.11\00:26:53.48
And when we get these
calls, such an encouragement.
00:26:53.51\00:26:56.24
Let me share another
one with you that it's just,
00:26:56.28\00:27:00.12
it's so encouraged me
that just brings tears
00:27:00.15\00:27:02.58
to your eyes and to your heart.
00:27:02.62\00:27:05.55
We are talking about
a lady here in her 80s.
00:27:05.59\00:27:08.92
80s.
00:27:08.96\00:27:10.86
She calls.
00:27:10.89\00:27:12.23
She lives in Nevada
00:27:12.26\00:27:14.93
and she'd been
there about 50 years.
00:27:14.96\00:27:17.90
She found, listen carefully.
00:27:17.93\00:27:19.53
She found 3ABN three months ago.
00:27:19.57\00:27:25.87
She's been there 50 years,
00:27:25.91\00:27:27.74
the signal's been
there a long time,
00:27:27.78\00:27:30.15
she could've gotten years
ago but she didn't get it.
00:27:30.18\00:27:33.11
Three months ago, she tunes in
00:27:33.15\00:27:34.68
and she sees the
program on there,
00:27:34.72\00:27:36.82
many of the programs
and also "Behold the Lamb"
00:27:36.85\00:27:40.69
and she begins to watch
them and the Holy Spirit says,
00:27:40.72\00:27:43.06
when truth was spoken,
this is truth walk ye in it.
00:27:43.09\00:27:46.36
How difficult it
would be for this lady?
00:27:46.39\00:27:50.40
Why?
00:27:50.43\00:27:51.77
Well, as a young girl
you know, maybe in her teens
00:27:51.80\00:27:54.80
and so on and so
forth, she met the man that
00:27:54.84\00:27:58.11
she was going to marry.
00:27:58.14\00:27:59.97
He was a Catholic man.
00:28:00.01\00:28:01.81
He was you know pretty staunch,
00:28:01.84\00:28:03.18
we call it in the
family and so and so forth
00:28:03.21\00:28:05.55
and so they counseled
together before the marriage
00:28:05.58\00:28:07.92
and he convinced her that
00:28:07.95\00:28:10.25
she needed to
become of his faith,
00:28:10.29\00:28:11.89
the Catholic faith.
00:28:11.92\00:28:13.86
And she agreed that'd be fine
00:28:13.89\00:28:16.22
and so then they
had four children
00:28:16.26\00:28:18.86
and they raised
all four children
00:28:18.89\00:28:20.43
in the Catholic
schools and raised them
00:28:20.46\00:28:22.33
in the Catholic
church and they graduated,
00:28:22.36\00:28:24.73
went to college
and man, they've got
00:28:24.77\00:28:26.47
you know, big
jobs, good paying jobs
00:28:26.50\00:28:28.60
and anyhow, you know what?
00:28:28.64\00:28:31.11
This could be 60 years or so.
00:28:31.14\00:28:34.21
But now, 80 years old,
little over 80 years old,
00:28:34.24\00:28:37.38
she hears these truths.
00:28:37.41\00:28:41.08
As soon as she
hears these truths,
00:28:41.12\00:28:42.45
she said this is what
I've been praying for.
00:28:42.48\00:28:45.02
This is what I've been
looking for all these years.
00:28:45.05\00:28:48.89
"I've been looking for
this the Seventh day Sabbath.
00:28:48.92\00:28:52.03
I've accepted that in my life.
00:28:52.06\00:28:53.70
I observed the
Seventh-day Sabbath
00:28:53.73\00:28:55.90
now, in a matter of what?
00:28:55.93\00:28:57.27
Three months.
00:28:57.30\00:28:59.90
I was talking
to her on a Friday,
00:28:59.93\00:29:01.34
and it's very interesting.
00:29:01.37\00:29:04.34
She said, well, when I
was getting later on a Friday,
00:29:04.37\00:29:05.87
she said, "Well, now
you have to get things
00:29:05.91\00:29:07.24
kind of in an order here
00:29:07.28\00:29:08.61
because," listen to me,
"this is preparation day."
00:29:08.64\00:29:11.98
Wow.
00:29:12.01\00:29:14.38
She's never been
thought these things
00:29:14.42\00:29:15.78
before by anything
or anybody till she said
00:29:15.82\00:29:18.35
"I just happened to turn,"
listen I just happened to turn.
00:29:18.39\00:29:21.86
She was praying, the
Holy Spirit would use her.
00:29:21.89\00:29:24.69
She wanted to be
saved in God's kingdom.
00:29:24.73\00:29:26.70
She wanted to know the truth.
00:29:26.73\00:29:28.06
She wanted little
something more in her life.
00:29:28.10\00:29:30.07
Even at this
age, she wanted more.
00:29:30.10\00:29:33.00
And she said, "By
accident, I found 3ABN."
00:29:33.03\00:29:38.47
You see, it had been
there all the time for years
00:29:38.51\00:29:40.94
but she hadn't
found it for some reason.
00:29:40.98\00:29:43.75
Sometimes we
don't find these things
00:29:43.78\00:29:45.11
because we are not ready
and we won't accept them.
00:29:45.15\00:29:47.82
That it's a
certain time in our life,
00:29:47.85\00:29:49.78
sometimes the truth really
hits and we make a decision.
00:29:49.82\00:29:53.09
She's a Sabbath keeper.
00:29:53.12\00:29:54.46
Listen, no one has
visited her that I know of.
00:29:54.49\00:29:59.36
She has no one that coming down
00:29:59.39\00:30:00.73
and trying to
convince her of anything.
00:30:00.76\00:30:02.16
She's just on her own saying,
00:30:02.20\00:30:03.53
"I looked up at a Seventh-day
Adventist Church to go to."
00:30:03.57\00:30:07.44
Wow, on their own? Why?
00:30:07.47\00:30:10.71
She's been
watching, she's been reading
00:30:10.74\00:30:12.07
and been studying
and said, this is truth.
00:30:12.11\00:30:13.44
I want to walk in this truth.
00:30:13.48\00:30:15.34
But now she says this,
00:30:15.38\00:30:17.58
"I have a
burden for my children.
00:30:17.61\00:30:19.08
What am I going to do?"
00:30:19.11\00:30:21.32
What am I going to do,
four grown older children
00:30:21.35\00:30:25.99
and she almost was crying
on the phone and what, what?
00:30:26.02\00:30:30.76
"I know, I taught
them the wrong thing.
00:30:30.79\00:30:35.10
My first response
was, "Did you know
00:30:35.13\00:30:36.97
you were teaching
them the wrong thing?
00:30:37.00\00:30:39.17
She said, "No, I didn't.
00:30:39.20\00:30:40.54
I thought I was
doing the right thing."
00:30:40.57\00:30:41.90
I said, "Don't you worry,
00:30:41.94\00:30:43.27
God's going to
handle it for you."
00:30:43.30\00:30:44.64
God is going to handle it. Why?
00:30:44.67\00:30:46.34
Because you were doing
the best, you knew how to do.
00:30:46.37\00:30:49.04
God will honor that.
00:30:49.08\00:30:51.41
God's going to
honor those prayers
00:30:51.45\00:30:52.81
of this faithful
mother who has a burden, why?
00:30:52.85\00:30:57.05
To give to her children
what has affected her life.
00:30:57.09\00:31:00.39
What has changed her
life, she's not the same.
00:31:00.42\00:31:05.89
And then she said
something interesting.
00:31:05.93\00:31:08.86
You know, she said,
"I'm learning so much
00:31:08.90\00:31:10.53
so fast right now, all
these beautiful truths,"
00:31:10.57\00:31:13.44
and she said, "right now
I'm studying in the word.
00:31:13.47\00:31:16.44
Listen, I'm
studying in the word about
00:31:16.47\00:31:18.77
clean and unclean food.
00:31:18.81\00:31:22.11
As God reveals it to me,
00:31:22.14\00:31:23.51
that's why it's
going to be in my life."
00:31:23.55\00:31:25.88
It's all that it takes.
00:31:25.91\00:31:27.58
Just praying for God to
lead and guide you into truth
00:31:27.62\00:31:31.32
and then as he
reveals that truth,
00:31:31.35\00:31:32.79
say, "Thank you, Lord for it."
00:31:32.82\00:31:34.16
Don't say I can't, I won't.
00:31:34.19\00:31:36.32
God reveals to those
who are honest in heart
00:31:36.36\00:31:38.29
and they will follow Him.
00:31:38.33\00:31:41.43
She said, "I'm just
learning these things.
00:31:41.46\00:31:45.33
Do you think it was an accident?
00:31:45.37\00:31:47.77
You think it was an accident,
00:31:47.80\00:31:49.14
this lady just tuned
in or just found 3ABN?
00:31:49.17\00:31:53.11
Not at all.
00:31:53.14\00:31:55.04
We are sending
her more information.
00:31:55.08\00:31:56.78
We are sending her more DVDs
00:31:56.81\00:31:58.18
and things that will
help her to encourage.
00:31:58.21\00:31:59.68
She is not out there alone.
00:31:59.71\00:32:02.15
We're trying to help her
find some other people that
00:32:02.18\00:32:03.75
will be a help to her.
00:32:03.79\00:32:06.35
What a blessing when
you hear these things.
00:32:06.39\00:32:08.62
Remember, she learned
in a matter of months,
00:32:08.66\00:32:11.73
more than some of us
who'd been there for years.
00:32:11.76\00:32:16.56
Probation is about to
close. Jesus is soon to come.
00:32:16.60\00:32:21.80
Let me share another one
that we've talked about here
00:32:21.84\00:32:23.64
for two or three
weeks at least around here.
00:32:23.67\00:32:25.44
I'm talking two
or three weeks now.
00:32:25.47\00:32:27.88
Remember, one of the
signs of the coming of Jesus
00:32:27.91\00:32:29.94
before probation closes,
00:32:29.98\00:32:31.75
the eleventh
hour workers come in
00:32:31.78\00:32:33.11
and they do what?
00:32:33.15\00:32:34.48
Come on, somebody.
00:32:34.52\00:32:35.85
They learn in a
matter of months.
00:32:35.88\00:32:37.22
And they have to unlearn
and learn again what truth is.
00:32:37.25\00:32:39.19
But they do it in
a matter of months.
00:32:39.22\00:32:41.36
They don't
dilly-dally around like
00:32:41.39\00:32:43.06
some of you have
been doing in the church.
00:32:43.09\00:32:45.53
For years you've
heard the message
00:32:45.56\00:32:46.90
but you can't explain anything.
00:32:46.93\00:32:48.96
You really don't
know what you believe.
00:32:49.00\00:32:50.47
What's wrong?
00:32:50.50\00:32:52.40
How are these people
learning these things?
00:32:52.43\00:32:54.54
Because they've
opened their heart
00:32:54.57\00:32:55.90
and their mind
to the Holy Spirit
00:32:55.94\00:32:57.27
and the Holy Spirit is speaking
00:32:57.31\00:32:58.64
to their voice into their heart.
00:32:58.67\00:33:00.68
Let me share another with you.
00:33:00.71\00:33:03.04
We've been
talking about this mission
00:33:03.08\00:33:04.41
two or three weeks
with the lady in New York.
00:33:04.45\00:33:08.45
Interesting
because, this lady has been
00:33:08.48\00:33:12.09
going through
some tremendous things.
00:33:12.12\00:33:15.29
I mean some of
the tremendous things.
00:33:15.32\00:33:16.66
She's bee going, you
know, "I had some problems,"
00:33:16.69\00:33:18.19
and then, I won't go into detail
00:33:18.23\00:33:20.53
but trouble in her own
home and in her marriage
00:33:20.56\00:33:23.30
and her husband's had left her
00:33:23.33\00:33:26.07
and she got hit by a
car and all kind of things.
00:33:26.10\00:33:29.67
She's was about
to lose everything
00:33:29.70\00:33:31.04
and didn't know where
she'd have a place to live
00:33:31.07\00:33:32.87
and I think she was a
Messianic Jew, I think.
00:33:32.91\00:33:37.51
And all of her
life, a Christian lady,
00:33:37.55\00:33:40.48
but so many bad
things had happened.
00:33:40.52\00:33:41.85
She didn't know what
was going to happen next.
00:33:41.88\00:33:45.59
No money, no
hurry, no place to live
00:33:45.62\00:33:47.36
and just practically
didn't leave her with anything
00:33:47.39\00:33:49.26
and she began to cry out to God.
00:33:49.29\00:33:51.19
She's got a
little room I understand.
00:33:51.23\00:33:52.66
They called that a prayer
room and she went in that.
00:33:52.69\00:33:54.40
Some of us need to
have a prayer room.
00:33:54.43\00:33:56.56
Some of us need to
have a designated spot
00:33:56.60\00:33:58.53
where we go and we
spend time with God
00:33:58.57\00:34:00.44
and God's going to hear.
00:34:00.47\00:34:02.64
We need to designate some
time that we pray every day,
00:34:02.67\00:34:05.97
morning, noon or night.
00:34:06.01\00:34:09.61
She began to cry out to God.
00:34:09.64\00:34:11.11
Everything seemed
to be against her.
00:34:11.15\00:34:12.85
Nothing seems is
going to work out.
00:34:12.88\00:34:15.42
She needed direction. She
wanted to know about truth.
00:34:15.45\00:34:20.72
God, I need to know why
all these things are happening.
00:34:20.76\00:34:22.69
I just don't, I
don't know what to do.
00:34:22.72\00:34:28.40
And so, that one
day she decided to sit,
00:34:28.43\00:34:30.33
now remember, she had a TV,
that's about all she had left,
00:34:30.37\00:34:32.63
not very many of
these things of this earth.
00:34:32.67\00:34:35.74
As far as I understand,
00:34:35.77\00:34:37.11
it didn't have
an outside antenna,
00:34:37.14\00:34:38.77
it didn't have cable,
didn't have satellite dish,
00:34:38.81\00:34:40.78
didn't have any way to
get a signal into the house.
00:34:40.81\00:34:44.48
She could just play
some tapes I think with it.
00:34:44.51\00:34:46.25
That's about it.
00:34:46.28\00:34:47.62
She got ready and turned
it on and go watch some tapes,
00:34:47.65\00:34:49.18
entered, somebody
play close attention.
00:34:49.22\00:34:52.09
This is three
and four weeks old.
00:34:52.12\00:34:55.22
She turned the TV on,
3ABN came in to her home.
00:34:55.26\00:35:02.13
There was no way,
no way for that signal
00:35:02.16\00:35:05.40
to get in that house and
"Behold the Lamb" was on.
00:35:05.43\00:35:11.24
It changed her whole life.
00:35:11.27\00:35:13.54
It gave her direction
and answered the questions
00:35:13.58\00:35:15.88
that she had.
00:35:15.91\00:35:18.35
She was so encouraged by it.
00:35:18.38\00:35:21.95
She said, "I tell you,
as soon as I heard about
00:35:21.98\00:35:23.65
the Seventh-day
Sabbath, how wonderful.
00:35:23.69\00:35:25.25
I've accepted the
Seventh-day Sabbath
00:35:25.29\00:35:29.39
and I can't help it,
I wanted to tell others
00:35:29.42\00:35:32.83
and I'm going to be
giving them Bible studies."
00:35:32.86\00:35:34.76
It's very
difficult when you're--
00:35:34.80\00:35:36.13
I think it's a
walker or wheelchair
00:35:36.16\00:35:37.50
that she's still
in from the accident.
00:35:37.53\00:35:39.77
"But I want to tell
others and I'm going to give
00:35:39.80\00:35:41.24
some Bible studies and
I want to pass out books,
00:35:41.27\00:35:43.34
I want to do something."
00:35:43.37\00:35:44.71
And she said it was by
accident, this came in.
00:35:44.74\00:35:49.71
Was it? Not at all.
00:35:49.74\00:35:53.55
Two or three weeks
later, after her first contact
00:35:53.58\00:35:56.02
with "Behold the Lamb" here,
she's still getting that signal
00:35:56.05\00:36:00.62
in her house and she shouldn't.
00:36:00.66\00:36:03.89
Is God able?
00:36:03.93\00:36:05.26
Yes, she's learning
in a matter of weeks,
00:36:05.29\00:36:07.16
matter of months,
what has taken us years
00:36:07.20\00:36:09.10
and she's
accepting it, she embody
00:36:09.13\00:36:11.43
or just grasping
around and hugging this truth.
00:36:11.47\00:36:14.90
She called me last
week in Sabbath morning.
00:36:14.94\00:36:17.77
She said, "I don't know exactly,
00:36:17.81\00:36:19.34
I don't know
exactly how to say this
00:36:19.37\00:36:22.34
because of my religion in past.
00:36:22.38\00:36:24.58
But would you be my pastor?"
00:36:24.61\00:36:29.02
How interesting?
00:36:29.05\00:36:31.25
"I don't know if
God would ever allow me
00:36:31.29\00:36:32.62
to come to your area
or whatever it might be
00:36:32.65\00:36:35.56
but I just, I feel the
unction of the Spirit."
00:36:35.59\00:36:38.73
Others who have
called her at specific times
00:36:38.76\00:36:41.16
and met with the needs
that she had at that very moment
00:36:41.20\00:36:44.13
when she was
questioning some thing.
00:36:44.17\00:36:45.80
Somebody from
the office would call
00:36:45.83\00:36:47.37
and it was perfect timing.
00:36:47.40\00:36:49.14
God's timing is
always perfect timing.
00:36:49.17\00:36:51.57
Signals that shouldn't be,
00:36:51.61\00:36:53.34
truths in the
matter of just weeks.
00:36:53.38\00:36:57.85
Probation is closing.
Jesus is soon to come.
00:36:57.88\00:37:00.78
This is a sign in
a matter of months
00:37:00.82\00:37:02.78
people are calling
in, these are true.
00:37:02.82\00:37:05.65
Very interesting what she said.
00:37:05.69\00:37:08.06
She says, "God
reveals the truth,
00:37:08.09\00:37:09.89
I told them by God's grace,
00:37:09.92\00:37:11.26
I will walk into
all those truths,
00:37:11.29\00:37:13.16
regardless of the
change that has to take place.
00:37:13.19\00:37:15.26
I'm sharing with
family, I'm sharing with anybody
00:37:15.30\00:37:17.17
that I can share with.
00:37:17.20\00:37:18.53
I'm so excited,
I cannot tell you."
00:37:18.57\00:37:21.30
In fact, she was so excited,
we got excited around here.
00:37:21.34\00:37:24.94
Happened to talk to her,
I think it was Sister Karen
00:37:24.97\00:37:27.68
and Debby and
my wife and myself.
00:37:27.71\00:37:29.04
We set on speaker
phone and we talked to her.
00:37:29.08\00:37:32.08
It brought such
joy to our hearts
00:37:32.11\00:37:33.85
to realize not only
00:37:33.88\00:37:35.22
she is
fulfilling Bible prophecy,
00:37:35.25\00:37:36.82
but such woman or a man of
God, any of these people who,
00:37:36.85\00:37:39.92
the Holy Spirit has worked on,
00:37:39.95\00:37:41.29
they are coming out and
they are being separate.
00:37:41.32\00:37:43.79
And they are following
Jesus with their whole heart.
00:37:43.83\00:37:45.96
They are not
dilly-dallying around like many,
00:37:45.99\00:37:47.93
some of you maybe have
doing or maybe I'm doing.
00:37:47.96\00:37:50.23
Are you still with me?
00:37:50.27\00:37:53.34
By the grace of God,
we won't be following.
00:37:53.37\00:37:55.57
We won't be doing
what the world is doing.
00:37:55.60\00:37:57.01
We are going to
separate from the world.
00:37:57.04\00:37:58.87
We are going to beg
dare to be different.
00:37:58.91\00:38:01.71
Interesting, this lady said,
I found it just fascinating.
00:38:01.74\00:38:06.68
She said, "Years ago,"
you think God's not at work?
00:38:06.72\00:38:12.52
And you know what?
00:38:12.55\00:38:13.89
It takes some times years,
00:38:13.92\00:38:15.26
how sad, years of the
working of the Holy Spirit,
00:38:15.29\00:38:18.86
working of the Holy
Spirit, not giving up on you.
00:38:18.89\00:38:22.00
It's when you give up on
the Holy Spirit, it's trouble.
00:38:22.03\00:38:25.43
Years ago,
somebody had come to visit.
00:38:25.47\00:38:29.54
Somebody was giving away books
00:38:29.57\00:38:32.44
and somebody
gave couple of books
00:38:32.47\00:38:35.28
and those books were
put up on the shelves
00:38:35.31\00:38:37.15
and they you know, we
call it gathering dust
00:38:37.18\00:38:39.61
and not looked at for years
and very, very interesting,
00:38:39.65\00:38:44.15
after seeing these
truths and hearing them,
00:38:44.19\00:38:46.82
the Holy Spirit is saying,
00:38:46.86\00:38:48.19
"This is the
way, walk me in it."
00:38:48.22\00:38:49.56
"Yes, I'm
accepted by God's grace."
00:38:49.59\00:38:53.13
So I began to dig a
little bit into something,
00:38:53.16\00:38:55.53
just to find out and I went down
00:38:55.56\00:38:57.40
and I found a couple of books
00:38:57.43\00:38:59.47
and I looked those books that
has been given years earlier
00:38:59.50\00:39:01.64
but had never read these books
00:39:01.67\00:39:03.30
and just kind of
opened the first page
00:39:03.34\00:39:04.87
and it said, all written in
18, I forgot, 1897 or something.
00:39:04.91\00:39:09.54
Oh, I knew right then."
00:39:09.58\00:39:12.41
She said, "I wanted to
know about identifying marks
00:39:12.45\00:39:14.45
that God's last day church
00:39:14.48\00:39:15.82
and the Spirit of
Prophecy is one of those
00:39:15.85\00:39:17.19
and it was two books
written by Ellen White.
00:39:17.22\00:39:23.02
Wow, God was there all the time,
00:39:23.06\00:39:28.26
books that had
already been given there.
00:39:28.30\00:39:31.37
God knows your heart
if you are really looking
00:39:31.40\00:39:33.50
and you're really
ready to follow him.
00:39:33.54\00:39:36.30
He will make a way.
00:39:36.34\00:39:37.74
But too many of you are holding
on to the things of this world.
00:39:37.77\00:39:40.84
You'd like to have heaven,
you'd like to have the world,
00:39:40.88\00:39:42.84
it doesn't work
that way, you know that.
00:39:42.88\00:39:46.05
These people that are calling
00:39:46.08\00:39:47.55
in a matter of
months, matter of weeks,
00:39:47.58\00:39:50.42
and have given all to Christ.
00:39:50.45\00:39:53.39
They are willing to follow Him.
00:39:53.42\00:39:56.29
They are willing to
do by the grace of God.
00:39:56.32\00:39:57.89
We can't do it,
we are not talking
00:39:57.93\00:39:59.26
being a matter of
works that are done.
00:39:59.29\00:40:00.80
We know you are saved
by grace through faith.
00:40:00.83\00:40:03.47
But we will be obedient
00:40:03.50\00:40:04.83
and we will walk
in His footsteps.
00:40:04.87\00:40:07.80
These are so
exciting when people call
00:40:07.84\00:40:10.11
and say, "This is
what's happening in my life."
00:40:10.14\00:40:15.81
People are calling
from positions and schools
00:40:15.84\00:40:19.98
and different
things, in high positions.
00:40:20.02\00:40:21.95
I won't mention
any more about that.
00:40:21.98\00:40:23.42
But they are wanting to
know, really what truth is
00:40:23.45\00:40:25.55
because a different direction,
00:40:25.59\00:40:27.62
it seems that some are
going and they are saying,
00:40:27.66\00:40:29.99
"Can you help us
on these issues?"
00:40:30.03\00:40:34.50
But how
interesting because that little
00:40:34.53\00:40:37.03
"Review and Herald" article,
February, the 25th, 1902
00:40:37.07\00:40:42.10
and this is Christ
our righteousness, Pg123.
00:40:42.14\00:40:45.61
So we need to keep
these things in mind.
00:40:45.64\00:40:47.18
Now remember, we
are hearing the beauty
00:40:47.21\00:40:49.04
of the Spirit of
God, the Holy Spirit
00:40:49.08\00:40:50.95
being poured out upon people.
00:40:50.98\00:40:52.81
They are taking a stand
00:40:52.85\00:40:55.45
and yet, what
does that say for us
00:40:55.48\00:40:56.85
who've been around a
long time in this movement.
00:40:56.89\00:40:59.59
Now remember, if you
are not in this movement,
00:40:59.62\00:41:00.96
it maybe little deep for you,
00:41:00.99\00:41:02.32
still just let the
Holy Spirit speak to you.
00:41:02.36\00:41:04.16
There is many of
you who know it's true
00:41:04.19\00:41:05.89
but you are not doing it yet
00:41:05.93\00:41:07.26
because you've
been watching 3ABN.
00:41:07.30\00:41:08.63
You've been watching,
you've been hearing the truth
00:41:08.66\00:41:10.00
for a long time and
you are not doing it.
00:41:10.03\00:41:11.37
You are
rejecting this Holy Spirit.
00:41:11.40\00:41:13.64
Please don't do
that. Today is a day.
00:41:13.67\00:41:16.37
In this little book
I read this it said,
00:41:16.40\00:41:18.07
notice this, "God
rebukes His people
00:41:18.11\00:41:21.34
for their sins,
that He may," what?
00:41:21.38\00:41:24.35
"That He may, humble
them." Ain't that beautiful?
00:41:24.38\00:41:28.42
That, "He may humble them,
00:41:28.45\00:41:29.98
and lead them to seek His face."
00:41:30.02\00:41:32.12
What does God always want?
00:41:32.15\00:41:33.96
Sometime things come
out, sometime things are said,
00:41:33.99\00:41:35.82
sometime things are done,
00:41:35.86\00:41:37.19
it seem like it's a nightmare
that we are going through.
00:41:37.23\00:41:38.83
God wants you back.
00:41:38.86\00:41:41.20
God wants you back
00:41:41.23\00:41:42.56
and He's calling
His last day people in.
00:41:42.60\00:41:45.30
Now notice what it
says, "He will strengthen them
00:41:45.33\00:41:49.90
in reformatory action,"
He's warning us to change.
00:41:49.94\00:41:53.48
He want a reformation.
00:41:53.51\00:41:55.41
"Lifting before them, a
standard against the enemy."
00:41:55.44\00:41:59.95
Notice this,
listen. It's powerful.
00:41:59.98\00:42:02.48
Then, ooh, glory, notice that
God's going to lift a standard.
00:42:02.52\00:42:09.39
The Bible talks
about a standard that
00:42:09.42\00:42:10.99
God's people supposed
to be lifting a standard,
00:42:11.03\00:42:12.89
not lowering it,
not trampling on it,
00:42:12.93\00:42:15.13
but lifting a
standard for the world to see.
00:42:15.16\00:42:18.30
And it says, when
God's people here,
00:42:18.33\00:42:20.57
He writes, He's
calling them back.
00:42:20.60\00:42:22.27
He rebukes them for the sin,
00:42:22.30\00:42:23.67
But He's going to
give them victory.
00:42:23.71\00:42:25.21
And when they
were ready to change,
00:42:25.24\00:42:27.21
notice what God is going to do.
00:42:27.24\00:42:28.74
I'm going to lift a
standard against the enemy.
00:42:28.78\00:42:31.61
The enemy is defeated.
00:42:31.65\00:42:33.11
The enemy can't come
against God's people.
00:42:33.15\00:42:34.78
Notice what it says
here, "Then a multitude,
00:42:34.82\00:42:40.36
not of our faith, seeing
that God is with His people,
00:42:40.39\00:42:47.66
will unite with them
in serving the Redeemer."
00:42:47.70\00:42:51.23
That gives me
spiritual goose bumps right now.
00:42:51.27\00:42:54.77
We wanted to know
where is God's people?
00:42:54.80\00:42:58.37
What's going to happen
here in these last days?
00:42:58.41\00:43:01.58
It's when we decide
by the grace of God,
00:43:01.61\00:43:04.45
that we are willing to change,
that we are willing to reform
00:43:04.48\00:43:07.98
and only the Holy
Spirit can do that inside.
00:43:08.02\00:43:10.72
When we want to follow
Him with our whole heart,
00:43:10.75\00:43:12.45
our whole mind, our whole soul,
00:43:12.49\00:43:14.96
notice what's going to happen,
00:43:14.99\00:43:16.32
God said, "I'm going to lift
a standard against the devil.
00:43:16.36\00:43:20.26
I'm going to lift a
standard against the devil."
00:43:20.30\00:43:21.93
Listen, that devil
cannot come past that standard.
00:43:21.96\00:43:24.37
He can't even get
close to that standard.
00:43:24.40\00:43:26.40
God said that at that time
00:43:26.43\00:43:27.77
I lift the standard up, to what?
00:43:27.80\00:43:29.14
To His people that
are going be lifting up
00:43:29.17\00:43:30.51
the truths of God's
word here in these last days.
00:43:30.54\00:43:33.21
Then there's
going to be a people,
00:43:33.24\00:43:34.58
not of our faith,
not of this faith,
00:43:34.61\00:43:37.61
they are going to see that
God is working for His people.
00:43:37.65\00:43:39.85
What are they going to do?
00:43:39.88\00:43:41.92
They are going
to unite with them,
00:43:41.95\00:43:44.15
eleventh hour workers.
00:43:44.19\00:43:45.82
Ooh, you could be one of them.
00:43:45.85\00:43:47.19
Why not? Why are
you holding back?
00:43:47.22\00:43:50.99
For those of you who
are not doing anything
00:43:51.03\00:43:52.46
and you've known this
message for a long time,
00:43:52.49\00:43:54.36
oh, I'm telling you,
00:43:54.40\00:43:55.73
you are wearing it
thin with the Holy Spirit.
00:43:55.76\00:43:57.67
You're wearing it thin,
don't. It may be your last call.
00:43:57.70\00:44:02.40
Find some people here
in the matter of months
00:44:02.44\00:44:04.24
another person here,
very, very interesting,
00:44:04.27\00:44:07.08
from Minnesota, they are calling
00:44:07.11\00:44:10.15
and then they
just say things like it
00:44:10.18\00:44:11.51
and we don't realize
that it has nothing to do
00:44:11.55\00:44:12.88
with the mankind around here
00:44:12.91\00:44:14.25
but the truth
that's being spoken.
00:44:14.28\00:44:16.42
The devil hates it.
00:44:16.45\00:44:18.69
He hates all people
who's telling the truth,
00:44:18.72\00:44:21.56
giving the
message of Three Angels
00:44:21.59\00:44:23.12
here in these last days,
00:44:23.16\00:44:24.49
lifting up that
standard against the enemy.
00:44:24.53\00:44:27.76
The devil hates them
00:44:27.80\00:44:29.13
and he's doing his
best to get rid of them.
00:44:29.16\00:44:31.73
But I called this,
this person called, he said,
00:44:31.77\00:44:34.84
"we love 3ABN, we love
Behold the Lamb Ministry
00:44:34.87\00:44:40.44
and we found it on YouTube.
00:44:40.48\00:44:42.38
We began to love
00:44:42.41\00:44:43.75
and fall in love
with Jesus again.
00:44:43.78\00:44:46.92
We love it.
00:44:46.95\00:44:49.08
We watched, we called
in, we ordered the DVDs
00:44:49.12\00:44:51.25
and we are not
only watching on TV
00:44:51.29\00:44:52.92
but then we
watch it over the DVDs
00:44:52.95\00:44:54.42
and we're watching at home.
00:44:54.46\00:44:55.79
They are encouraging to us.
00:44:55.82\00:44:57.16
We bring people
overnight watching with us,
00:44:57.19\00:44:58.79
we're encouraged.
00:44:58.83\00:45:00.16
We want Jesus to come.
00:45:00.20\00:45:01.53
We want to be
ready for Jesus to come."
00:45:01.56\00:45:04.50
These are encouraging.
00:45:04.53\00:45:06.67
This helps to keep
us going to realize that
00:45:06.70\00:45:10.94
there are people who are honest
00:45:10.97\00:45:12.67
and true of
heart, Matter of months,
00:45:12.71\00:45:15.24
sometime weeks that
are accepting this message.
00:45:15.28\00:45:18.81
What are you doing with it?
00:45:18.85\00:45:20.18
What am I doing with it?
That's so encouraging to me.
00:45:20.22\00:45:23.15
Let me tell you
another one quickly.
00:45:23.18\00:45:24.52
Our time is kind of running
past right now but notice.
00:45:24.55\00:45:27.96
I tried to get a
hold of a person, the man,
00:45:27.99\00:45:30.66
who had called a long time ago
00:45:30.69\00:45:32.23
and somehow he
slipped through the cracks
00:45:32.26\00:45:34.03
and sometime I do
that but you stay with it.
00:45:34.06\00:45:37.00
If you have a
question or comment
00:45:37.03\00:45:38.37
or something you need,
if you don't hear it back
00:45:38.40\00:45:39.73
and in a
reasonable amount of time,
00:45:39.77\00:45:41.10
you put that call in again.
00:45:41.14\00:45:42.47
Please do that.
You will help us.
00:45:42.50\00:45:44.81
Call again, keep calling
till you get what you need.
00:45:44.84\00:45:49.24
And anyway, this guy
tried, I tried to call him back
00:45:49.28\00:45:52.85
and I called this,
I called this number,
00:45:52.88\00:45:54.38
you know, his number is
left on the piece of paper
00:45:54.42\00:45:56.38
that I have here so I
tried to, I dialled the number
00:45:56.42\00:45:59.29
and all of a sudden
I hear a voice on there
00:45:59.32\00:46:00.96
and said, you know,
00:46:00.99\00:46:02.32
that number is no
longer in operation.
00:46:02.36\00:46:07.46
Uh-huh, and then the
one on the other end said,
00:46:07.50\00:46:11.20
let me give his new number.
00:46:11.23\00:46:14.47
And so I jotted
down the new number.
00:46:14.50\00:46:19.17
And so I thought
well, this is good here.
00:46:19.21\00:46:20.74
I didn't think
anything about it.
00:46:20.78\00:46:22.11
This is wonderful 'cause
I needed to talk with him.
00:46:22.14\00:46:23.65
He had some questions,
00:46:23.68\00:46:25.01
and I needed to
get back with him
00:46:25.05\00:46:26.38
and I called him and I said,
00:46:26.41\00:46:28.25
this is Kenny Shelton
with "Behold the Lamb."
00:46:28.28\00:46:30.55
Huh, how did you, how
did you get my number?"
00:46:30.59\00:46:34.96
Oh, I called the old
number that you'd left before
00:46:34.99\00:46:39.33
and somebody came on there
00:46:39.36\00:46:40.70
and said, that
number is no longer,
00:46:40.73\00:46:42.06
you can't reach him but
I'll give you a new number
00:46:42.10\00:46:45.90
and I've called it,
that's, I've got you, don't I?
00:46:45.93\00:46:47.74
"Yeah, yeah, that's me."
00:46:47.77\00:46:49.54
He said "but it
can't be" and I said, what?
00:46:49.57\00:46:51.77
"No," well, how come?
00:46:51.81\00:46:54.91
"Because that was
cancelled over two months ago."
00:46:54.94\00:46:58.85
I said what? "Oh, yeah.
00:46:58.88\00:47:01.15
And for a while I put that
announcement on there tried to
00:47:01.18\00:47:03.42
but, two months
ago that was over with.
00:47:03.45\00:47:05.99
It's not on there anymore."
00:47:06.02\00:47:07.62
I said, oh, yes, it
is. "No, it can't be."
00:47:07.66\00:47:10.79
You tell me the
Holy Spirit can't work.
00:47:10.83\00:47:12.29
You tell me that Holy
Spirit can't do these things.
00:47:12.33\00:47:15.83
When there is people
who need some answers
00:47:15.86\00:47:17.70
or there's people who
need the power of the Spirit.
00:47:17.73\00:47:20.20
Now there is people who
want to hear from Jesus.
00:47:20.24\00:47:23.51
We could guide
them to the word of God.
00:47:23.54\00:47:26.14
Anything is
possible through Him,
00:47:26.17\00:47:27.98
that's what the Bible said,
00:47:28.01\00:47:29.34
oh, I was so encouraged by that.
00:47:29.38\00:47:30.71
I said, thank you, Lord.
I'd like to share another.
00:47:30.75\00:47:32.65
We got time to share another.
00:47:32.68\00:47:34.02
Oh, I wish I
could share all of them.
00:47:34.05\00:47:35.75
I'd have a big stack
if I did, but notice.
00:47:35.78\00:47:38.75
These individuals
here who were watching TV
00:47:38.79\00:47:40.69
there from Nebraska,
just watching TV one night
00:47:40.72\00:47:44.56
and here's what that they said.
00:47:44.59\00:47:45.93
They said, we got bored,
we just got bored watching
00:47:45.96\00:47:48.93
what we were watching
00:47:48.96\00:47:50.30
and we decided that
we were going to turn on,
00:47:50.33\00:47:51.73
somebody listen, Dare to Dream,
00:47:51.77\00:47:54.64
certainly from
3ABN, Dare to Dream.
00:47:54.67\00:47:58.51
Oh, yeah, "And we
saw "Behold the Lamb,"
00:47:58.54\00:48:03.35
we were impressed to
turn to Dare to Dream
00:48:03.38\00:48:05.11
and "Behold the Lamb was on.
00:48:05.15\00:48:06.98
We didn't know we had a
program on Dare to Dream
00:48:07.02\00:48:09.58
and you know
what the subject was,
00:48:09.62\00:48:10.95
one we were interested in
and we wanted to know about?
00:48:10.99\00:48:13.66
Women's
ordination and right then
00:48:13.69\00:48:17.66
and there we knew the
Holy Spirit was working.
00:48:17.69\00:48:19.79
It answered the
questions that we had
00:48:19.83\00:48:24.40
and pretty soon
the man came on there.
00:48:24.43\00:48:27.14
He said, you know
as I looked on that,
00:48:27.17\00:48:28.74
I took my wife
and seen the opening
00:48:28.77\00:48:31.61
with your wife on there,
with Sister Chris on there
00:48:31.64\00:48:34.98
and said, you know what, there,
just uplifting mattered all,
00:48:35.01\00:48:38.11
It just should be normal
that we do as Christians.
00:48:38.15\00:48:40.72
He said, "You know what?
00:48:40.75\00:48:42.08
She speaks and she acts
00:48:42.12\00:48:43.75
and she dresses
like a Christian."
00:48:43.79\00:48:48.32
Wow, then he said,
you got him preach,
00:48:48.36\00:48:51.59
preach a message
to her and it seemed,
00:48:51.63\00:48:54.56
it looked as the Holy Spirit,
00:48:54.60\00:48:55.93
we knew the
Holy Spirit was there
00:48:55.96\00:48:58.17
and it looked like a preacher,
00:48:58.20\00:49:00.07
it sounded like a preacher, why?
00:49:00.10\00:49:02.17
Because we're
getting so careless
00:49:02.20\00:49:03.54
in the pulpits anymore,
00:49:03.57\00:49:05.94
that we're coming
in our tennis shoes
00:49:05.97\00:49:07.41
and were coming
in our under shirts
00:49:07.44\00:49:09.01
and our jeans, in our jeans
and some kind of suit coat,
00:49:09.04\00:49:12.41
no tie like you are
going to some kind of a party.
00:49:12.45\00:49:14.85
Shame on you,
pastors, you elders,
00:49:14.88\00:49:16.38
if you are doing that.
00:49:16.42\00:49:18.39
They are people who are serious
about God and relationship
00:49:18.42\00:49:20.92
and God requires
the best that we have.
00:49:20.96\00:49:24.03
You will say to me, well,
that's the best that I have.
00:49:24.06\00:49:26.36
No, it's your choice.
00:49:26.39\00:49:27.96
You had to pay for that,
00:49:28.00\00:49:29.33
you could have paid
for something different.
00:49:29.36\00:49:30.87
Come on now. It
makes a difference.
00:49:30.90\00:49:34.70
Your witness makes a
difference is my point here.
00:49:34.74\00:49:39.27
Why did they become bored,
00:49:39.31\00:49:40.64
because they needed
some questions answered
00:49:40.68\00:49:42.11
and the Holy Spirit
said, turn, turn what?
00:49:42.14\00:49:44.48
It's four or five
choices you could get there
00:49:44.51\00:49:46.65
but turned Dare to Dream,
00:49:46.68\00:49:48.12
at that point, at
that time, at that second.
00:49:48.15\00:49:51.02
This is what we
needed and they called in
00:49:51.05\00:49:52.62
and they ordered that.
00:49:52.65\00:49:54.09
They said another thing,
00:49:54.12\00:49:55.46
I wanted them being
encouraged with what?
00:49:55.49\00:49:56.83
And they want to support this.
00:49:56.86\00:49:58.19
Listen, "Behold the Lamb
00:49:58.23\00:50:00.06
is not afraid to call
sin by its right name.
00:50:00.10\00:50:04.20
It has nothing to
do with individuals,
00:50:04.23\00:50:05.57
it's the power
of the Holy Spirit.
00:50:05.60\00:50:07.30
We have to call
sin by its right name.
00:50:07.34\00:50:10.77
We live in that hour
00:50:10.81\00:50:12.21
when it's so
desperately important,
00:50:12.24\00:50:13.94
when people are
just watering things down
00:50:13.98\00:50:15.74
to where it
means nothing anymore.
00:50:15.78\00:50:18.75
No difference in the sacred
and the common but there is.
00:50:18.78\00:50:23.65
And they were just so encouraged
00:50:23.69\00:50:25.25
and these people
here, we're talking about,
00:50:25.29\00:50:27.06
they are
starting to write letters
00:50:27.09\00:50:28.42
and things they see this
not going on right properly
00:50:28.46\00:50:31.59
and they are
beginning to stand up
00:50:31.63\00:50:33.66
for the cause of Christ.
00:50:33.70\00:50:36.73
Second Selected Messages,
00:50:36.77\00:50:38.10
let me just
read this right quick
00:50:38.13\00:50:39.47
and I know our
time is about gone.
00:50:39.50\00:50:40.84
Three seventy eight says
this, because we weren't,
00:50:40.87\00:50:44.27
we are neglecting some
things in this movement.
00:50:44.31\00:50:48.48
Do I find joy in
that? Absolutely not.
00:50:48.51\00:50:51.41
But if you are going to
be what God wants you to be,
00:50:51.45\00:50:53.72
you are going to test
everything by the Bible,
00:50:53.75\00:50:56.12
regardless of
what's taking place
00:50:56.15\00:50:57.49
inside the church
or in a classrooms
00:50:57.52\00:50:59.22
or wherever we are
going here and there
00:50:59.25\00:51:00.59
but it still has to be biblical.
00:51:00.62\00:51:02.82
You can't just make it up
00:51:02.86\00:51:04.19
because the
majority wants to do it.
00:51:04.23\00:51:05.56
Majorities are
usually and they're wrong.
00:51:05.59\00:51:07.76
Notice what it
says here, two SM, 378,
00:51:07.80\00:51:12.10
"The neglect to bring
purity and truth into practice
00:51:12.13\00:51:16.64
will grieve the
Spirit of God and weaken them
00:51:16.67\00:51:21.98
because God is not in
the midst to bless them."
00:51:22.01\00:51:25.21
Did you notice that?
00:51:25.25\00:51:27.08
If you know what truth is,
and you are not following that,
00:51:27.12\00:51:30.89
you are grieving
the Spirit of God
00:51:30.92\00:51:32.32
and he can't be
where he wants to be,
00:51:32.35\00:51:33.79
Spirit to bless
you and it goes on.
00:51:33.82\00:51:37.03
Notice that is
says, "Internal corruption
00:51:37.06\00:51:41.56
will bring the denunciations
of God upon the people
00:51:41.60\00:51:45.17
just as it did upon Jerusalem.
00:51:45.20\00:51:49.34
You think it can't
happen in this moment.
00:51:49.37\00:51:51.11
You think it can't
happen in your life?
00:51:51.14\00:51:52.74
You better think
again. Please think again.
00:51:52.77\00:51:55.81
God's speaking to you.
00:51:55.84\00:51:57.18
If you hear this, my
voice, God is speaking to you.
00:51:57.21\00:51:59.08
It's not my words,
God's speaking to you.
00:51:59.11\00:52:02.08
You want His blessings,
don't grieve the Spirit of God.
00:52:02.12\00:52:05.49
God is working, He's calling
people here in these last days.
00:52:05.52\00:52:08.92
In a matter of
moments, matter of months,
00:52:08.96\00:52:13.90
matter of weeks.
00:52:13.93\00:52:16.36
I could read you a lot of more
00:52:16.40\00:52:17.73
we're not going to
have time to do that
00:52:17.77\00:52:19.17
but I'm so
encouraged by these people
00:52:19.20\00:52:22.14
whether they'd
be younger or older.
00:52:22.17\00:52:24.11
They are hearing truth
00:52:24.14\00:52:25.47
and they are just following
it by the grace of God.
00:52:25.51\00:52:29.71
Let me tell you, those of you
00:52:29.74\00:52:31.08
who are making
that decision right now,
00:52:31.11\00:52:32.78
please give us a call.
00:52:32.81\00:52:34.68
We need those blessings,
we want those blessings.
00:52:34.72\00:52:36.55
We want to hear how God is just
working you over for His cause,
00:52:36.58\00:52:40.92
how the Spirit of God
just filling you with it.
00:52:40.96\00:52:42.92
"Well, I don't know if we should
00:52:42.96\00:52:44.29
or why we're living in this time
00:52:44.33\00:52:45.66
or living in another."
00:52:45.69\00:52:47.03
Sin is sin,
God's calling us out,
00:52:47.06\00:52:48.86
separating the people.
00:52:48.90\00:52:51.30
You can't have the
enemy working inside.
00:52:51.33\00:52:54.04
He's calling us to
be pure and to be holy
00:52:54.07\00:52:56.84
and He is calling
these last day people out.
00:52:56.87\00:52:59.61
And it is
encouragement to us here
00:52:59.64\00:53:02.68
who are working for Jesus
00:53:02.71\00:53:04.88
to know that God's
people are hearing.
00:53:04.91\00:53:07.75
Now notice this,
and they are responding.
00:53:07.78\00:53:10.59
If you are
responding to the voice of God,
00:53:10.62\00:53:12.95
if you are
responding, do you know
00:53:12.99\00:53:15.72
that the doors of
probation is about to close,
00:53:15.76\00:53:18.39
you know that you've
been grieving the Holy Spirit.
00:53:18.43\00:53:20.66
You say, "Well, I really
haven't been doing anything."
00:53:20.70\00:53:22.60
That's exactly right. You
haven't been doing a thing.
00:53:22.63\00:53:25.47
You're grieving the Holy Spirit.
00:53:25.50\00:53:26.84
You're rejecting
because the Spirit says,
00:53:26.87\00:53:28.20
"Go ye into all the
world and preach the gospel."
00:53:28.24\00:53:30.37
Get this work done.
00:53:30.41\00:53:32.47
Accepting truth just
as God reveals it to you.
00:53:32.51\00:53:35.38
By God's grace you
are going to accept it.
00:53:35.41\00:53:38.45
This will
encourage those around you.
00:53:38.48\00:53:40.25
This will be an
encouragement in your life.
00:53:40.28\00:53:42.08
They'll be encouragement
ministries around the world
00:53:42.12\00:53:44.05
that love the truth.
00:53:44.09\00:53:46.15
Our time is about
gone and I want you,
00:53:46.19\00:53:47.52
oh, I want to pray with you
00:53:47.56\00:53:48.89
'cause I just feel it
in my heart and my mind
00:53:48.92\00:53:50.73
as people are making
that decision right now.
00:53:50.76\00:53:52.76
You are one of
those who sat back,
00:53:52.79\00:53:54.13
you haven't done
anything for a long time,
00:53:54.16\00:53:55.50
you haven't called,
you haven't done anything.
00:53:55.53\00:53:58.20
But you're going to do it now
00:53:58.23\00:54:00.27
because you realize this
is the signs of the times
00:54:00.30\00:54:02.87
and there's
many calls like this.
00:54:02.90\00:54:05.87
Would you pray
with me right now?
00:54:05.91\00:54:07.24
Would you just pray,
00:54:07.28\00:54:08.61
last moment that
we have together?
00:54:08.64\00:54:09.98
Holy Spirit,
work upon this heart.
00:54:10.01\00:54:11.35
Let's pray.
00:54:11.38\00:54:12.71
Merciful God in Heaven,
00:54:12.75\00:54:14.08
we thank You for
the privilege of prayer.
00:54:14.12\00:54:15.45
We thank You for
the encouragement,
00:54:15.48\00:54:16.85
thank You for the
people who want to know
00:54:16.89\00:54:18.49
what truth is and
thank You for you said,
00:54:18.52\00:54:20.39
You are going to
pour the Spirit of God
00:54:20.42\00:54:21.99
out upon these people.
00:54:22.02\00:54:23.59
They are going to
come, they are going to join
00:54:23.63\00:54:24.99
the last day remnant people.
00:54:25.03\00:54:26.93
Lord, I thank You for hearing,
thank You for answering prayer.
00:54:26.96\00:54:29.00
Thank you for the conviction
00:54:29.03\00:54:30.37
that you put
upon people right now
00:54:30.40\00:54:31.83
for making that choice,
00:54:31.87\00:54:33.20
for making that
decision for you and I,
00:54:33.23\00:54:34.57
thank you in Jesus' name, amen.
00:54:34.60\00:54:39.11
Please remember, this is a sign,
00:54:39.14\00:54:42.11
a clear sign
that Jesus is coming.
00:54:42.14\00:54:45.11
Don't put off any longer
00:54:45.15\00:54:47.65
and you know,
here "Behold the Lamb"
00:54:47.68\00:54:49.02
we're blessing to you
and bringing the truth
00:54:49.05\00:54:52.29
you know, won't you
prayerfully consider
00:54:52.32\00:54:53.76
what you can do to support
00:54:53.79\00:54:55.12
so that we can continue to
bring these timely messages.
00:54:55.16\00:54:58.26
You see I
believe in present truth,
00:54:58.29\00:54:59.63
not water down, not
dale but present truth.
00:54:59.66\00:55:02.60
Help us to get it into the home.
00:55:02.63\00:55:04.20
God's getting a
lot of opportunities
00:55:04.23\00:55:05.57
to reach millions
and millions of people,
00:55:05.60\00:55:07.64
help us do it,
shoulder up with us, pray for us
00:55:07.67\00:55:10.21
and we're going to pray for you.
00:55:10.24\00:55:11.57
Until next time, God
bless you, see you then.
00:55:11.61\00:55:15.38
Welcome back, friends.
00:55:15.41\00:55:17.21
The Spirit of God is
moving and becoming more evident
00:55:17.25\00:55:20.95
as we are drawing closer
to Christ's second coming.
00:55:20.98\00:55:24.89
On this same
thought, so is the enemy.
00:55:24.92\00:55:28.36
He too is working in every form
00:55:28.39\00:55:30.39
you can possibly
think of within and without
00:55:30.43\00:55:34.03
all the various churches,
to confuse the minds of those
00:55:34.06\00:55:38.03
whom God is so
lovingly calling out of sin.
00:55:38.07\00:55:41.67
It has been very evident
to us for several years now
00:55:41.70\00:55:45.47
that when a person
sincerely begins to ask
00:55:45.51\00:55:48.64
God to show them
what truth really is,
00:55:48.68\00:55:51.88
it is at that very
moment, at that point,
00:55:51.91\00:55:55.02
that their life will
begin to take a dramatic step
00:55:55.05\00:55:58.12
and line up with scripture
and help, it also helps them
00:55:58.15\00:56:01.26
to understand
scripture as never before.
00:56:01.29\00:56:04.76
We must weigh all
miracles and all questions,
00:56:04.79\00:56:08.70
all of doctrines
with the word of God.
00:56:08.73\00:56:11.30
God's people
will be worshiping Him
00:56:11.33\00:56:13.67
in Spirit and in
truth, two things,
00:56:13.70\00:56:16.81
Spirit and in truth
as taught in the Bible.
00:56:16.84\00:56:20.58
