00:06 Hello and welcome to iSITE Review
00:08 program number six, 00:10 and we're here outside in beautiful Phoenix 00:12 where every day 00:13 seems to start out with sunshine. 00:15 Every day is fabulous. 00:17 That's right, and it's actually warming up. 00:18 If you remember when we started out, 00:19 it seemed like we're a little bit colder. 00:21 But we started out 00:22 this beautiful day here earlier in the morning, 00:24 it's not too bad outside. 00:26 But anyway, 00:27 what a blessing to be coming to you from Phoenix, 00:28 Arizona, and we're in again, Papago Park? 00:31 Papago. Papago? 00:32 We don't know how to pronounce it 00:34 but you can give us a shout out on Facebook 00:36 or email us and let us know, 00:37 but it's a beautiful incredible park. 00:39 Oh, it is. Yeah. 00:40 And you can see over our shoulder, 00:42 we're going to try and climb up here 00:43 as we make our progress in iSITE. 00:45 There's a little hole up there 00:46 and that's called Hole in the Rock. 00:47 And from this vantage point, it looks relatively steep, 00:51 and a little bit slippery. 00:52 But I see some people up there. 00:53 So I'm sure there's a safe way to get up there. 00:55 So we're going to make our journey up there. 00:57 We will. 00:58 In this park is the Desert Botanical Gardens 01:00 which is beautiful, especially in the springtime. 01:02 Yeah. It's right over there. 01:03 The desert begins to bloom, 01:05 and you actually see flowers on the cactus, 01:07 and stuff like that. 01:08 There's a zoo and other things as well here, 01:10 and they say back at World War II, 01:12 this was the site of the largest POW camp 01:17 in the United States. 01:18 They had some great escape, 01:20 and I think some prisoners escaped, 01:21 but then they couldn't survive in the desert 01:23 and they came back. 01:24 But praise the Lord. 01:26 You just think about the meetings that are going on. 01:28 Yeah, the Paradise Valley, Phoenix Central, 01:31 Phoenix Central Spanish, Desert Cove. 01:34 Desert Cove, Chandler. That's right. 01:35 And we have some other meetings that are involved as well. 01:37 Yeah, Elder Marin. 01:38 Elder Marin, Jose Marin, is it Apache Junction, 01:41 and there's also some other meetings going on, 01:43 so not only the five meetings but more. 01:45 And you think about 01:47 when those prisoners escaped from the camp, 01:49 they had no hope, 01:50 they didn't know how to survive, 01:52 and that's each one of us are lost and alone 01:55 without the Lord Jesus Christ, 01:57 and that's the purpose of these meetings, sweetheart. 01:59 You know that people would find Jesus 02:01 and find the truth in His Word. 02:03 Yeah, you know we really appreciate your contacting us 02:05 through Facebook, through YouTube, 02:08 through even our email 3abn.tv, sending us some emails, 02:11 and we've heard from a few people, 02:12 we wanted to mention you by name, some of the comments. 02:14 These are some people from Facebook. 02:15 This is Genevieve, Linda, Devin, Memy, Gisela, Allen, 02:20 Suzie, Joey, Claudio. 02:22 We know Claudio. 02:24 He's from our church, Paradise Valley. 02:25 This is Quadro, Amanda, and others. 02:28 So we just thank you so much 02:30 and keep those comments coming in. 02:31 You know, we also want to thank the crew, 02:33 the 3ABN production crew. 02:34 We have some crew that are with us. 02:35 We have some crew that are back at the hotel 02:37 now editing some of the programs, 02:39 so not all of them are able to be here. 02:41 But we thought you might like to see 02:43 what our view is 02:44 because it's not just Jill and myself, 02:46 it takes a whole group of people. 02:47 So I'm gonna pull my cell phone out here 02:49 and take a couple of photos that you can see, 02:52 maybe even some video here 02:53 of who is on the other side of these cameras. 02:56 We have Seth, and Arodie, and Tyler, and Ben. 03:00 And Jorge, our system production manager. 03:02 Doing a great job. 03:04 He's been producing the evening meetings. 03:05 Yes, he has. 03:07 And he brought Sebastian and Noel. 03:08 And I hope we get to talk to them later too on the hike. 03:09 Yeah. 03:11 So we're gonna go to a roll next 03:12 and start our journey up the mountain. 03:13 Thank you. 03:15 We're going to Paradise Valley, SDA Church. 03:17 And this is an incredible testimony, 03:20 actually, just last night at the meeting. 03:22 I met this couple, they're precious, Jim and Inge, 03:26 I think their names are, 03:27 and she was flipping the channel one day 03:29 watching a soap opera actually 03:31 and stumbled across 3ABN 03:34 and it changed their lives forever. 03:35 Let's listen to that interview now. 03:39 Today, we have two wonderful people. 03:43 Their names are Jim and Inge Macintosh, 03:46 and they are from Sun City, Arizona, 03:49 and they have an amazing testimony, 03:51 how they came into this 03:53 wonderful Seventh-day Adventist message, the truth. 03:57 And, Inge and Jim, 04:01 you both were part of New Assemblies of God 04:04 music minister... 04:06 Yes. 04:07 At one time, and you came in by watching 3ABN, 04:10 and it's so interesting how that came about. 04:13 Why don't you share with us, Inge or Jim? 04:15 It was kind of, I was watching TV 04:18 and back in the day 04:19 when I was still watching soap opera, 04:21 and there happened to be this one person that I saw on TV 04:26 and when I was flipping channels, 04:28 and I ran across 3ABN, and when I saw this person, 04:32 I stopped to take a second look, 04:34 and when I started listening to what he was saying 04:36 about the Sabbath, it caught my ear in attention, 04:40 I go, "I have to kind of listen to this," and so I did, 04:44 and it really sounded like 04:46 this is the way it's supposed to be 04:47 instead of worshiping on Sunday. 04:49 So when my husband came home, 04:51 I told him about what I saw on 3ABN. 04:54 So the next day, we went and watched it together, 04:58 and Jim said yes, it hit his spirit, his heart 05:03 that this is the message. 05:05 So we started looking 05:07 for a Seventh-day Adventist Church, 05:09 and I wrote to Pastor McMahon and he went and sent me 05:14 The Great Controversy and information 05:17 in regards to this Seventh-day Sabbath and all this, 05:21 and so we started going to a church, and Jim, you? 05:26 About eight years ago. 05:27 About eight years ago? Yes. 05:28 How do you feel now that you're in this message? 05:31 Is everything clear to you from the Bible? 05:33 I believe it is. 05:35 In fact, it's the most message of today 05:39 like we are the remnant church, 05:42 and the message is so true, 05:46 and it hits my heart, it pierces my heart 05:49 that the truth will always hit you in the heart, 05:53 and it's genuine, 05:55 and we have learned so much about the State of the Dead. 05:59 Oh, yeah. 06:01 And just about a lot of studies that we have never heard, 06:07 and it just changed our lives tremendously. 06:10 Yes, we haven't unfortunately convinced our children yet. 06:13 But they respect that we go to church on the Sabbath 06:16 on Saturday, 06:18 and so whenever there is family gathering, 06:20 they make sure it's on Sunday, and it does not interfere 06:23 with our going to church which we really appreciate, 06:27 and every time we get a chance, 06:29 we tried to share with them some 06:31 and we're praying that one day, 06:33 they will actually see the message also. 06:35 But at least, thank God, our children are saved. 06:37 Yes. Amen, amen. 06:40 And so thank you so much for being here 06:43 at the meetings tonight. 06:45 I know you're gonna be blessed, and I'm so glad 06:48 you've joined this wonderful movement, 06:50 this worldwide movement. 06:51 Yes, yes. Amen. 06:52 Thank you, Angie. 06:54 What a great report coming from the Paradise 06:55 Seventh-day Adventist Church. 06:57 It's really encouraging to hear how people's lives 06:59 are being touched for eternity, isn't it? 07:00 Amen. 07:02 It is encouraging just to see what God is doing, 07:03 how they started watching 3ABN those years ago, 07:05 and what an incredible difference 07:07 it made in their lives 07:09 and how they discovered the truth and the Word of God. 07:11 So we have hiked up 07:12 this little trail to Hole in the Rock. 07:14 It wasn't as bad 07:15 as the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, 07:17 we saw that a few days ago. 07:18 That was a pretty intense hike. This wasn't too bad. 07:20 This was not intense at all. Yep. 07:22 We're obviously sitting 07:23 on the shady side of the Hole in the Rock, 07:24 but right through this hole, it's absolutely incredible. 07:27 It's pretty. 07:29 You know, in this desert, we're looking down on, 07:31 could we consider that an oasis? 07:32 I see some palm trees, some water down, 07:34 isn't that amazing? 07:35 You've got this dry cactus that I'm looking at here, 07:39 and you have this beautiful water and palm trees 07:40 right through this beautiful outlook, 07:43 and I think that's neat what God can do 07:44 in each one of our lives, 07:46 we can in the dry and dusty life experience, 07:50 and you say, "Man, there's nothing there," 07:52 there's something there because God has it for you. 07:54 Amen. And He can provide that water. 07:55 God can bring waters of life, you know? 07:57 He is the source of water. 07:59 He is the source, you know, and he brings that. 08:01 He is the water of life 08:02 and he brings that to our lives, 08:04 and brings out of where there seems death 08:06 and bareness and desert. 08:08 God can make it alive again, and praise the Lord for that. 08:12 He makes us a new creation in Christ Jesus. 08:15 We want to go next to John Dinzey. 08:18 Oh, yeah, this is a great interview. 08:19 He's at the Central Valley Spanish 08:21 Seventh-day Adventist Church, and it's really incredible. 08:24 Every evening, each one of the speakers, 08:27 they come back with their programs, 08:29 they're on hard drives I guess from their different sites 08:31 and we upload to 3abnphoenix.com, 08:34 and there's like that command central there in the hotel room 08:37 that room we showed you on iSITE number two, 08:39 and you can see all the computers there, 08:41 and everyone working, ingesting 08:43 and as the speakers come in, 08:44 there's a real feeling of excitement. 08:45 There is. 08:47 I'm thinking last night, they were saying, 08:48 these people came forward to the altar call, 08:50 these people made a decision for Jesus, 08:52 these people were crying 08:54 and this is what God did in their life. 08:56 So that's so exciting. 08:58 So last night just after the meeting, 09:01 John Dinzey had the chance to talk with Stephanie Dawn, 09:03 and she's been singing some for the meetings. 09:05 She has. 09:06 You know, I just really appreciate her spirit 09:08 and her dedication to God. 09:09 You know, here she is with being blind, 09:11 not able to see, but yet, she's so joyful and so cheerful 09:14 and so willing to share her talent for Jesus Christ. 09:17 So there was a great interview that they did, 09:18 Pastor John Dinzey. 09:20 So let's go to that right now. 09:23 We are continuing the evangelistic campaigns 09:25 in Phoenix, Arizona, 09:27 and today, we had two very special people 09:30 joining me at the Spanish Central Valley Church, 09:33 Seventh-day Adventist church. 09:35 And Stephanie Dawn, most of you don't know 09:37 unless you watch 3ABN Latino, that she also sings in Spanish. 09:42 Is that right? Yes. 09:43 Mm-hmm. Yes. 09:45 And so I understand 09:46 that you also do concerts in Spanish. 09:48 We do. We do. 09:49 I studied Spanish in high school. 09:52 It's the language 09:53 that I truly, truly love to sing 09:57 in whenever I have the opportunity to do so. 10:00 And it was marvelous because her father Dann 10:03 accompanied her on piano at the church tonight, 10:07 and it was an evangelistic campaign that, 10:10 you know, you ask yourself, "Should I do an appeal? 10:12 But the Lord blessed tonight, and it was a great experience. 10:17 Stephanie Dawn sang 10:18 what I would like to call the musical offering, 10:21 the first song, 10:22 and what song did you sing in Spanish, the first one? 10:24 The first one is called 10:28 or the English translation of that would be, 10:31 "He had me on his mind." 10:32 It was translated from English to Spanish. 10:34 And the song we did for the appeal at the end was, 10:37 in English, "Embrace the cross," 10:39 in Spanish, "Toma La Cruz." 10:41 Amen, and she does pronounce very clearly in Spanish. 10:45 And I'm sure many of the Spanish people thought 10:47 she speaks Spanish. 10:49 Her father Dann accompanied her on piano. 10:51 What was your impression 10:52 of the evangelistic campaign tonight and the people? 10:54 People were enjoying it. 10:56 I don't speak Spanish, I don't understand Spanish. 10:59 But you can see there were tears 11:00 in people's eyes, and they were very moved. 11:04 Amen. Praise the Lord. 11:06 And so Stephanie Dawn is joining the different 11:11 evangelistic campaigns. 11:12 How many of the evangelistic campaigns 11:14 have you been to? 11:15 We have been to John Lomacang's once, 11:20 and we will be there two more times, 11:22 and we will also be at two more of your meetings as well. 11:26 That's right. 11:27 So we praise the Lord for the blessing 11:29 to be able to have Stephanie Dawn 11:32 come and join us to preach the gospel in song. 11:35 And I believe this is a key 11:38 because the songs really touch people's hearts, 11:41 and we just thank you for joining us here 11:43 in Phoenix, Arizona. 11:45 We pray that the Lord will continue 11:46 to bless your ministry, and this is a ministry 11:48 that the whole family has embraced. 11:50 Tell me how many members of the family 11:52 have embraced the ministry? 11:53 It's my wife Karen, and our daughter Stephanie, 11:55 and our son Jayme. 11:57 We travel full time 11:58 around the United States mostly, all year-round. 12:01 Praise the Lord. 12:03 So we ask for your continued prayers 12:04 for the evangelistic campaigns 12:06 and for the Stephanie Dawn and her family 12:08 as they travel across the US and even other countries 12:12 to preach the everlasting gospel. 12:14 God bless. 12:15 Yes, we are here 12:17 in the Central Valley Spanish Church in Phoenix, 12:21 and we have the General Manager for Good News TV Latino 12:25 that's with us. 12:26 Carlos Gervasio, 12:28 and tell us a little bit about Good News TV Latino 12:31 and what the programming 12:33 and the impact it has had on the community? 12:36 Okay, thank you. 12:38 God really work through your programs 12:43 that we put in one antenna, many antennas around Arizona. 12:48 And then every people in Arizona can see 12:52 with just one antenna over this TV. 12:55 And this is good because many people 12:57 who can check and can see and watch our channels, 13:02 and they call, call and say, 13:04 "I want to go to this church," they don't know 13:07 what church we are, they say what church is that 13:10 "I want to go. I want to believe. 13:12 I believe in that." 13:14 We have this beautiful experience, pastor. 13:17 People who came to the church to be baptized to say, 13:20 "I want to be baptized," and we'll say, "Really?" 13:24 "Yes." 13:25 "And how do you know?" 13:27 "Through the channel that is." 13:29 And they told, 13:32 "I know that Pastor Bullon, 13:35 this pastor name," all the pastors and you too. 13:39 They say, "Really, I know, I learned, I know everything," 13:43 and this is beautiful 13:44 because these signals are arising 13:48 in the interior of the homes. 13:51 Amen. Yeah. 13:52 This is that we are doing together. 13:54 Amen. 13:55 Yes, and you mentioned Pastor Alejandro BullA n, 13:57 one of the evangelist at our 3ABN Latino 13:59 and I'm sure they mentioned some of the others. 14:01 Yes. 14:02 And as people see Pastor Stephen Bohr 14:04 speaking in Spanish. 14:05 For sure. 14:07 For those of you that don't know 14:08 Pastor Stephen Bohr speak in Spanish. 14:09 And tell us Dann about the Good News TV, 14:12 how is it funded? 14:14 Oh, it's funded from the people, 14:16 donors, just donors, only donors 14:19 who called the channel and say I want to help you. 14:22 Only we received money from the donors. 14:25 We go to the churches, my job is go to the churches 14:28 and encourage the people 14:29 to continue supporting the channel. 14:32 And we have the system of ambassadors in each church 14:36 that they are helping us all the time to make, 14:41 they are like bridges 14:43 between the church and the channel, 14:45 and we try to work together with the churches too. 14:49 Wonderful. 14:51 So we're here in an evangelistic campaign. 14:52 3ABN has five evangelistic campaigns 14:56 simultaneously. 14:57 This one is in Spanish where I am, 14:59 and tell us about your experience here, 15:02 you've been here for several days, 15:03 and how do you see the people are receiving the messages? 15:06 Oh, I really recommend everybody 15:08 to encourage the people to make this kind of campaigns 15:13 and use the television to share with 15:16 because we see that people here, three days, 15:19 we have campaign three days, and many people say, 15:22 "I want to give my life to Jesus," 15:25 as it's really impressive how these people came, 15:29 and be impressed not only for the TV, 15:33 they came from the TV 15:35 but then they really received the message here. 15:38 I mean, we're really impressed. I'm so happy to be here. 15:46 Thank you so much, Brother John Dinzey. 15:48 What a blessing, not only Stephanie's interview 15:51 but we also got to hear, he interviewed Carlos, 15:53 I won't begin to pronounce his last name, 15:55 but he's the General Manager of Good News TV 15:58 for the Latino Channel, 16:00 and what a blessing it's been to partner with Good News TV 16:02 and the nightly broadcast 16:04 is because that they've been working with that. 16:06 Yeah, we appreciate Luke Skelton, 16:07 and his wife Susan and all that they do 16:10 to help spread the gospel here in the Phoenix area 16:12 and other parts actually of the country. 16:15 You know, from our vantage point here, 16:17 you saw the Hole in the Rock and in the Papago, 16:20 did I say that right? 16:22 Sounds good. Okay. 16:24 Park here and from our vantage point, 16:27 we can see a path that we didn't come up, 16:30 and do you know what I think we did? 16:31 I think we came up another path or someone, 16:34 I don't think we came up the official path. 16:36 We came up the back way. I think we did. 16:38 You know what's interesting to me? 16:39 I'm thinking spiritually. 16:41 You know, there seems a way that seems right to a man, 16:42 right? 16:44 But the end thereof, what? 16:45 Is the way of death. That's right. 16:47 Obviously, it wasn't the way of death for us today. 16:49 We just came up a different way. 16:50 But we have to be careful in life in the path 16:52 that we see and the path that we choose 16:54 because there's a right way to heaven, 16:56 and we want to make sure by following God's Word 16:59 and the Bible, that we're falling the way 17:00 God wants us to go 17:02 and here for this evangelistic series, 17:03 Pathway to Life, 17:05 we appreciate all of the evangelists 17:06 that are here, like you're mentioning earlier, 17:09 there's such a heart for souls. 17:11 There is. 17:12 And such a passion for spreading God's Word 17:14 here in the Phoenix area but around the world. 17:16 So we appreciate your support of the ministry of 3ABN 17:19 all these years, and for this special event. 17:21 What a blessing it has been already? 17:22 Amen. 17:23 I'm just thinking as I sit here, 17:25 it's so beautiful and we looked, 17:26 the last segment, that Hole in the Rock, 17:28 you look through at the palm tree. 17:29 But if you look up over our shoulder, 17:31 you can see a hole almost in the sky. 17:33 It's like a hole you look up 17:35 and you see the blue sky up there. 17:36 Yeah, that's beautiful.

God bless you. 21:10 Bye-bye. 21:12 Praise the Lord for those great reports 21:14 from the Phoenix Central Seventh-day Adventist Church. 21:16 Well, we're still here, a kind of up on the hill here, 21:19 the Hole in the Rock with Noelia, 21:21 and Sebastian Jaque, and you both are 21:24 Jorge and Lynette's kids, 21:25 and you all encountered a little snow on your trip, 21:29 is that right? 21:30 We did. 21:32 We're on our way to our hotel, and it was totally unexpected. 21:34 Nobody knew because it was all good weather. 21:36 It started snowing and snowing really hard, 21:38 and they had to close the freeway. 21:40 Wow. 21:41 So we had to get off the exit early. 21:44 But we finally made our way through to find the hotel. 21:46 Ooh. Mm-hmm. 21:48 Praise the Lord. 21:49 I tell you, you know, that's the thing 21:50 because when you drove, 21:52 how many days were you on the road, Sebastian? 21:53 It was two and a half days till we made it from Phoenix, 21:56 to Phoenix from Illinois. 21:57 Oh, that's a long trip. 21:59 Do you like driving and riding in the car? 22:01 No. 22:02 Bless you. Thank you for making the trip. 22:05 We appreciate you and your sister 22:06 and your entire family. 22:08 And for coming to Phoenix, now this is school time, 22:10 so you all had to do some extra work 22:11 in order to kind of come on this trip, right? 22:13 Yeah, we did. We're given a lot of homework. 22:17 But unfortunately, not finished all of mine. 22:19 So I had to take it with me. 22:21 So you are still doing some school work here. 22:22 Yeah. Awe. 22:24 What about you, Sebastian? 22:25 Well, I finished on mine right as we made it halfway 22:30 on our trip. 22:31 I had to just do a couple of little assignments, 22:35 and then I was done for it with all my homework 22:38 for the three weeks. 22:39 Yay! Very good. 22:40 But that kind of makes it worth it, 22:42 getting all the schoolwork done, 22:43 and a long trip 22:44 because you get to spend time in Phoenix here. 22:46 Now, Sebastian, 22:48 there is something that's over our shoulder 22:49 that I think the camera men are able to get. 22:51 What is that funniest shaped mountain? 22:53 What's that called? That is Camelback Mountain. 22:57 Now why would we call that, why do you think 22:58 they call it Camelback Mountain? 23:00 Because with the top, it looks like one of the humps 23:03 and then the rest is like the head 23:06 like for a kneeling camel. 23:08 Absolutely. It's pretty neat. 23:10 So we're here at Hole in the Rock in Papago, 23:12 I'm just not getting that name right. 23:14 Park but behind us, you can see Camelback 23:16 which is one of the famous landmarks 23:18 here in Phoenix area, 23:19 and I think it's one of the highest mountains 23:21 in this area. 23:22 In this area, it is, 2700 feet I think. 23:24 And Noelia, before we start our hike back, 23:26 and we got to get ready for the meeting, 23:28 you're helping with your mom in the evening. 23:29 What do you do? 23:31 We're working at the booth handing out the literature 23:34 and everything from 3ABN. 23:36 Yeah, and they're doing a great job at the 3ABN booth 23:39 and also doing the mental arithmetic 23:41 and keeping track of the sales too. 23:43 So we're going, right now, we're going to Chandler Church. 23:46 We are. 23:47 So let's listen to the interview there. 23:52 Hi, we are back here 23:54 at the Chandler Seventh-day Adventist Church again, 23:57 and tonight, I have Sister Lily with us. 23:59 Sister Lily, it's, I don't know if she's putting glue 24:03 on her decision cards or what, 24:05 but has it been the last three nights 24:08 that you won? 24:09 Yeah, I know it's been three nights. 24:10 I don't know if they were three in a row, 24:12 but three nights. 24:13 Three, yeah, 24:14 I know at least two in the row, right? 24:16 Yes. 24:17 And she has won a free gift coming to these meetings. 24:20 And, Lily, I found out in talking with you, 24:22 you haven't been back at where, you were Adventist I guess 24:25 maybe years ago, when you were young? 24:27 Young age. 24:29 Young age, and then you left the church, 24:30 and you came back, you've been re-baptized, 24:33 and now your husband's coming to church with you. 24:36 He hasn't been baptized. 24:37 But you guys have been coming to the meetings. 24:39 Tell us a little bit about your journey 24:41 with the Lord, Lily. 24:42 Oh, I just love Jesus. 24:45 I love getting to know him more. 24:48 Every time I find something new, 24:51 it's like goose bumps in my skin. 24:54 I just love it. Amen. 24:57 And you also shared with me 24:58 that you are a studier for truth, 25:00 that you read a lot of the Bible, 25:03 you read a lot of Spirit of Prophecy, 25:05 and you are coming, 25:06 you've been faithful, 25:08 I don't know if you've missed a night, 25:09 have you missed a night coming to these meetings? 25:10 Have not yet, no. 25:12 So have these meetings made anything to you? 25:14 Have they touched your heart in any way? 25:16 It touches my heart all the time. 25:17 Anything that has to do with God, with my Jesus, 25:21 it touches my heart. 25:23 I love how you said my Jesus because that's personal, 25:28 that shows you're developing that personal relationship 25:32 with Him. 25:33 So is there anything 25:35 that you'd like to encourage people, 25:36 maybe to come or maybe to study, 25:37 is there something you'd like to encourage them with? 25:40 Well, the only true you're gonna find it, 25:42 you're gonna find it in the Bible. 25:45 That's how I'm getting to know Him. 25:47 It's not by word of mouth. 25:49 But it's the Bible 25:50 that's where you get all the truth. 25:53 Amen. Amen. 25:55 Thank you so much for your support, 25:57 and we'll see you next time. 26:00 I was running down the trail here 26:01 to catch up with Jill and the crew 26:02 from the Hole in the Rock Park here, 26:05 and I came across this dry streambed. 26:07 And what's incredible to me here in the Phoenix area 26:09 is I understand they don't get much rain. 26:12 But when they do, something like this 26:14 turns into quite a raging torrent. 26:15 And it's amazing. 26:17 You see this little green leaf right here. 26:18 It's obviously, this bush, this little tree 26:21 has received some rain, 26:22 and it has done the best that it could 26:24 with that nourishment and with that moisture. 26:26 I'm thinking about us in our spiritual walk, 26:28 our spiritual life. 26:30 You know, when God gives us His Word, 26:33 we're getting this evangelistic series, 26:36 we need to do something with that. 26:37 We need to penetrate into our lives, 26:40 we need to put out those green leaves 26:42 like we just saw in that bush, 26:43 and let God do something special in our lives. 26:46 Ain't that right, sweetie? Absolutely. 26:49 We just heard a great testimony from the Chandler 26:52 Seventh-day Adventist Church and I tell you, 26:54 it's great to hear these reports 26:55 because God is doing something in all of our lives. 26:57 Amen. 26:58 It's exciting to see what God is doing. 26:59 It's exciting to see the message 27:01 as it penetrates the soil. 27:03 You know, we each are the soil and as it penetrates that, 27:06 the Word of God penetrates our hearts, 27:08 and we want it to fall on fertile soil. 27:10 So just pray for each person who comes to the meetings. 27:14 Pray that God would open up their hearts 27:16 to the Word of God, 27:17 and that they would make decisions for Jesus. 27:19 Yeah, I think that's the important thing 27:20 because the Holy Spirit speaks to us, 27:22 and we need to listen, all of us. 27:23 Amen. That's for sure. 27:25 We're getting ready to head back 27:26 to the Paradise Valley Seventh-day Adventist Church. 27:29 I know Pastor John Lomacang 27:30 has an incredible message for us tonight 27:33 and just to pray for the people who are attending the series, 27:37 pray that their hearts will be open, 27:39 and we pray for you as you watch the meetings 27:42 that you will make decisions for Jesus. 27:44 We'll see you tomorrow. |
