It's time to share
there's a world out there
00:00:03.30\00:00:07.21
Looking for a friend like Jesus
00:00:07.22\00:00:10.22
It's time to share
there's a world out there
00:00:10.23\00:00:13.62
Let's tell them
that He loves us so
00:00:13.63\00:00:16.98
Let's tell them
that He loves us so
00:00:16.99\00:00:20.34
Kids Time, Kids
Time, Kids Time, Kids Time
00:00:20.35\00:00:25.27
Hi, boys and girls.
00:00:25.28\00:00:26.50
Do you see what I have
on the wall right here?
00:00:26.51\00:00:29.13
Just a white piece
of paper, isn't it?
00:00:29.14\00:00:31.44
But let's have some fun.
00:00:31.45\00:00:32.42
I wanna show you something
00:00:32.43\00:00:33.40
we can do with
this piece of paper.
00:00:33.41\00:00:35.24
I'm gonna turn this flashlight
on right here, just like that.
00:00:35.25\00:00:38.84
And I'm gonna
shine it on my hand.
00:00:38.85\00:00:40.82
I'm going to try to
make some funny shapes.
00:00:40.83\00:00:42.49
Oh, can you see that?
What does that look like?
00:00:42.50\00:00:45.79
Can you see that
right there? Isn't that fun?
00:00:45.80\00:00:49.28
You know what, do you see
what it is on the paper now?
00:00:49.29\00:00:52.59
You're right, it's a shadow.
00:00:52.60\00:00:54.98
And I can wiggle my
fingers, I can even do this,
00:00:54.99\00:00:57.27
let's see, right here.
00:00:57.28\00:00:59.31
Look at that, may be,all
right may be one of the dog.
00:00:59.32\00:01:04.95
But it's a lot of
fun to do, isn't it?
00:01:04.96\00:01:07.22
But you can see
that, I'm using the light
00:01:07.23\00:01:08.72
from the
flashlight to cast a shadow.
00:01:08.73\00:01:11.40
And when the shape of my hand
00:01:11.41\00:01:12.90
comes between the
light and the paper,
00:01:12.91\00:01:15.69
that's when we see
the shadow, isn't it?
00:01:15.70\00:01:18.72
But there's-- you
know a huge light in a sky
00:01:18.73\00:01:21.22
and a enormous
blazing ball of fire
00:01:21.23\00:01:23.57
that shines on the
earth and produce the shadows
00:01:23.58\00:01:26.14
all the time,
it's called the sun.
00:01:26.15\00:01:28.89
And sometimes when you run,
00:01:28.90\00:01:30.93
you can see your
shadow running too,
00:01:30.94\00:01:33.10
or if you jump, or bend over,
00:01:33.11\00:01:35.23
or wave your hands all around,
00:01:35.24\00:01:37.28
you can see your
shadow doing the same thing.
00:01:37.29\00:01:40.10
And as long as that sun is
00:01:40.11\00:01:42.31
shining on you
at the right angle,
00:01:42.32\00:01:43.56
you can't get
away from your shadow.
00:01:43.57\00:01:45.33
It sticks right
with you and no matter
00:01:45.34\00:01:48.09
how fast you run, you
can't run away from it.
00:01:48.10\00:01:51.73
You know, our Bible story
today tells us about a man,
00:01:51.74\00:01:54.13
who stuck so close to his hero
that he was just like a shadow
00:01:54.14\00:01:58.50
and no matter where, Elijah
went, Elisha was right there,
00:01:58.51\00:02:02.74
following him
just like a shadow.
00:02:02.75\00:02:04.85
Elijah, even try to
make, Elisha, stay behind,
00:02:04.86\00:02:07.75
while he went ahead,
but just like a shadow,
00:02:07.76\00:02:10.77
Elisha, stayed right with him.
00:02:10.78\00:02:13.10
And he had a very
special reason for doing this,
00:02:13.11\00:02:16.18
very good reason,
and because he did,
00:02:16.19\00:02:18.91
you know what, Elisha,
received something wonderful.
00:02:18.92\00:02:23.66
You know, you'll learn
all about in our story today.
00:02:23.67\00:02:26.52
But first, Ranger Jim,
00:02:26.53\00:02:28.35
is gonna show
us a Scarlet Macaw.
00:02:28.36\00:02:31.98
Hi, there, boys and girls.
00:02:38.84\00:02:39.95
This is, Ranger Jim,
saying welcome to Nature Time.
00:02:39.96\00:02:42.45
We're glad you
could join us today.
00:02:42.46\00:02:44.38
I have two
special friends today.
00:02:44.39\00:02:46.60
This is, as you can
see, a beautiful bird
00:02:46.61\00:02:49.39
and this is my friend, Debbie,
00:02:49.40\00:02:51.33
and, Debbie,
would you tell us about
00:02:51.34\00:02:52.84
your organization,
where you are here?
00:02:52.85\00:02:54.74
Sure, they glad to.
00:02:54.75\00:02:56.05
Boys and girls, this is
Ellijay Wildlife Sanctuary.
00:02:56.06\00:02:58.85
We take orphaned, injured,
rehab and release them back.
00:02:58.86\00:03:02.31
As you can tell,
this is a scarlet red,
00:03:02.32\00:03:05.39
the red color, we
call it Scarlet Macaw.
00:03:05.40\00:03:08.28
His name is,
Peppy, and he came in,
00:03:08.29\00:03:10.55
because he came
from South America,
00:03:10.56\00:03:13.18
and the people that had
him was getting elderly.
00:03:13.19\00:03:17.07
And do you how long
this, this Macaw lives?
00:03:17.08\00:03:21.19
They can live up to 80 years.
00:03:21.20\00:03:23.82
I hope, I make it 80.
00:03:23.83\00:03:25.27
Yes, and so elderly
people get this bird as pets,
00:03:25.28\00:03:29.52
then if the bird
outlives some of them,
00:03:29.53\00:03:32.95
what's gonna happen to the bird.
00:03:32.96\00:03:34.20
So they donated it to the rehab.
00:03:34.21\00:03:37.23
That's wonderful,
then you can join him to,
00:03:37.24\00:03:38.95
boys and girls, and teach people
00:03:38.96\00:03:40.20
all about him and what have you.
00:03:40.21\00:03:41.68
And so--what kind of
bird did you say it is?
00:03:41.69\00:03:43.47
It's a Red Macaw.
00:03:43.48\00:03:44.75
A Macaw, yes
it's a Scarlet Macaw
00:03:44.76\00:03:47.70
and his name is, Peppy,
and Peppy, is 27-years-old.
00:03:47.71\00:03:52.00
And if you look
real good at him,
00:03:52.01\00:03:54.57
Jim, he kind of look scrappy,
00:03:54.58\00:03:58.60
see the plastic
covering on his tail,
00:03:58.61\00:04:00.36
may be if we turn him.
00:04:00.37\00:04:01.95
they can see it little
bit better in the back.
00:04:01.96\00:04:04.50
See the plastic little
shabby but, you know what,
00:04:04.51\00:04:07.89
those are brand
new feathers coming in.
00:04:07.90\00:04:09.88
Wonderful, wonderful.
00:04:09.89\00:04:11.37
They mowed a
couple times a year,
00:04:11.38\00:04:13.57
couple times a
year, and, you know what,
00:04:13.58\00:04:16.67
if you pinch it little bit,
they kind of break that loose
00:04:16.68\00:04:20.05
and then it just peels off.
00:04:20.06\00:04:22.04
And there's a new
feather under there.
00:04:22.05\00:04:23.19
And there's a brand
new feather under there.
00:04:23.20\00:04:24.74
Well, I supposed it took them
00:04:24.75\00:04:25.78
millions of years
to develop that, right.
00:04:25.79\00:04:27.95
Absolute, oh, yeah!
00:04:27.96\00:04:29.38
We know better
than that, don't they?
00:04:29.39\00:04:30.36
We know better than
Okay, our wonderful,
00:04:30.37\00:04:31.85
Jesus, made
that, didn't He? Yes.
00:04:31.86\00:04:33.66
Okay, well, tell
us something about
00:04:33.67\00:04:34.92
what this bird
eats, and enjoys eating?
00:04:34.93\00:04:36.80
Okay, he is from, South America,
00:04:36.81\00:04:39.01
so over there, they eat
fruits, nuts, vegetables.
00:04:39.02\00:04:43.74
Sound like a good diet to me.
00:04:43.75\00:04:45.09
Yes, Peppy here, he loves nuts,
00:04:45.10\00:04:48.57
orange is about
his favorite here.
00:04:48.58\00:04:52.16
He mimics people,
he talks actually.
00:04:52.17\00:04:55.18
Well, that might be a
lesson there for boys and girls.
00:04:55.19\00:04:58.64
You might be
careful what you say,
00:04:58.65\00:05:00.84
because someone
might repeat what you say,
00:05:00.85\00:05:03.28
especially if you
have a baby brother,
00:05:03.29\00:05:05.02
or baby sister around like that.
00:05:05.03\00:05:07.04
You want to be
careful what you say,
00:05:07.05\00:05:08.39
because these birds
do learn, don't they?
00:05:08.40\00:05:10.27
But you're teaching them to say.
00:05:10.28\00:05:11.75
Absolutely, and not
only do they pick up on
00:05:11.76\00:05:13.95
what you tell them,
00:05:13.96\00:05:15.37
they mimic in
the voice they hear.
00:05:15.38\00:05:18.13
Even though he is a male,
00:05:18.14\00:05:20.09
if he hears something said like,
00:05:20.10\00:05:22.25
hello in a female's voice,
00:05:22.26\00:05:24.22
he'll mimic in
that tone of voice.
00:05:24.23\00:05:26.94
Well, is it a realistic
voice, is it a just a squawk,
00:05:26.95\00:05:29.28
can you understand what it is?
00:05:29.29\00:05:30.26
You can understand,
just as clear as you could,
00:05:30.27\00:05:32.60
if you, you and
I talking together.
00:05:32.61\00:05:35.54
Well, that--if you
would go into a build
00:05:35.55\00:05:37.38
and you didn't--
you know there was
00:05:37.39\00:05:39.35
no other human there
and this voice spoke to you,
00:05:39.36\00:05:40.99
is that a new experience.
00:05:41.00\00:05:43.25
Yes. I'll tell you what.
00:05:43.26\00:05:45.00
You would swear at someone,
lot of Macaws love to whistle.
00:05:45.01\00:05:48.17
Peppy, is no different.
00:05:48.18\00:05:49.86
And sometimes
when you go in there,
00:05:49.87\00:05:51.26
he'll squeal so like
you, he is attracted to you.
00:05:51.27\00:05:55.05
Uh, well, beautiful eyes,
I noticed that beautiful eyes
00:05:55.06\00:05:58.83
and this large beak,
what, what is this designed for?
00:05:58.84\00:06:01.80
What is this? It
looks very powerful.
00:06:01.81\00:06:03.80
It is, actually
when we go to grim him,
00:06:03.81\00:06:06.19
when the bat comes
out, it takes two hands
00:06:06.20\00:06:08.67
to hold his beak
for him to polish it.
00:06:08.68\00:06:11.48
Macaws take a lot of attention
00:06:11.49\00:06:13.81
and his beak is designed
to hold nuts and crack them
00:06:13.82\00:06:17.85
without dropping them
00:06:17.86\00:06:18.83
and having to hold
them with its feet.
00:06:18.84\00:06:21.01
You mean, he'll just
take a nut in there and crack.
00:06:21.02\00:06:22.65
We have these kind of
thing pinchers that we--
00:06:22.66\00:06:24.65
Right, but he has a
special design, God made him,
00:06:24.66\00:06:28.47
so he's able to
take care of itself.
00:06:28.48\00:06:30.88
It's just almost
impossible to believe,
00:06:30.89\00:06:32.28
that a creature
with a head this small,
00:06:32.29\00:06:34.02
has that kind
of powerful muscles
00:06:34.03\00:06:35.48
can crack shells of nuts to eat.
00:06:35.49\00:06:38.79
Well, he is a magnificent
bird and these birds,
00:06:38.80\00:06:42.20
I have seen them in different
sizes and what have you.
00:06:42.21\00:06:44.75
Is there any
other interesting things
00:06:44.76\00:06:46.02
that you might recall
00:06:46.03\00:06:47.27
to tell the boys
and girls about this.
00:06:47.28\00:06:49.50
Something that happened to you
00:06:49.51\00:06:50.72
or something
interesting, what do you think?
00:06:50.73\00:06:53.77
Peppy is around a lot of
people that we worked with.
00:06:53.78\00:06:57.15
And some of the things he
says Peppy, is kind of unique.
00:06:57.16\00:07:00.63
A lot Macaws says, single words,
00:07:00.64\00:07:03.29
but, Peppy here,
he says, synopsis.
00:07:03.30\00:07:05.87
If he hears, a knock he'll say,
00:07:05.88\00:07:08.28
"Who is out there?" In
a really strange voice.
00:07:08.29\00:07:12.17
And if the phone rings once,
he'll say, hello, rings again
00:07:12.18\00:07:15.87
he'll say, "Answer that thing."
00:07:15.88\00:07:18.19
You know, words like
that, he is very intelligent.
00:07:18.20\00:07:20.76
That would be a
very interesting bird
00:07:20.77\00:07:22.20
to have around, wouldn't it?
00:07:22.21\00:07:24.08
If you don't answer the phone,
00:07:24.09\00:07:25.06
he says, answer the telephone.
00:07:25.07\00:07:26.25
You got it. Okay, well Peppy,
00:07:26.26\00:07:28.13
seems to be a
wonderful creature.
00:07:28.14\00:07:29.84
Boys and girls, wouldn't
it be fun to have him come
00:07:29.85\00:07:31.53
and to have our
friend, Debbie, come and talk.
00:07:31.54\00:07:33.86
I enjoyed
talking to her so much.
00:07:33.87\00:07:35.34
She just loves animals
and here at this place,
00:07:35.35\00:07:37.79
she goes around
and feeding the bears,
00:07:37.80\00:07:39.66
and feeding the
panthers, and the bobcats.
00:07:39.67\00:07:42.44
And let me tell you a
little secret about her, okay.
00:07:42.45\00:07:44.88
She talks to them just
like they're boys and girls.
00:07:44.89\00:07:48.51
When she goes up to
feed them, she says,
00:07:48.52\00:07:49.97
"Mommy is here with
your food this morning,"
00:07:49.98\00:07:52.66
and she kisses
panthers and she kisses bobcats,
00:07:52.67\00:07:56.97
she even kisses skunks.
00:07:56.98\00:08:00.16
So, Debbie, is a special person,
00:08:00.17\00:08:01.90
that loves all
of God's creatures.
00:08:01.91\00:08:04.10
Boys and girls, we thank
you, Debbie, for telling us
00:08:04.11\00:08:06.53
about your friend this morning.
00:08:06.54\00:08:08.01
It's been a
thrilling experience again,
00:08:08.02\00:08:09.30
boys and girls, to
learn about God's creatures.
00:08:09.31\00:08:11.61
So, Ranger Jim,
telling you once again,
00:08:11.62\00:08:14.47
He is coming soon.
00:08:14.48\00:08:15.86
Be sure to tell
someone about Jesus,
00:08:15.87\00:08:17.66
so we can take them with us
00:08:17.67\00:08:19.47
and we're going
on that nature hike
00:08:19.48\00:08:20.98
to the universe with Jesus.
00:08:20.99\00:08:22.45
So don't forget to tell,
Jesus, how much you love Him,
00:08:22.46\00:08:25.44
because He really does love you.
00:08:25.45\00:08:29.12
Hello, boys and girls.
00:08:35.90\00:08:37.73
Have you ever thought about
00:08:37.74\00:08:38.74
what's really important in life?
00:08:38.75\00:08:40.69
Bethany, has a text
that talks about that.
00:08:40.70\00:08:42.74
"Seek ye first
the kingdom of God,
00:08:42.75\00:08:44.63
and His righteousness
and all these things
00:08:44.64\00:08:46.68
shall be added
unto you." Mathew 6:33.
00:08:46.69\00:08:50.98
Seek ye first
the kingdom of God.
00:08:50.99\00:08:53.43
We've got a song
that talks about that.
00:08:53.44\00:08:55.77
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
00:09:00.27\00:09:05.49
And His righteousness
00:09:05.50\00:09:10.25
And all these things
shall be added unto you
00:09:10.26\00:09:15.23
Hallelu, Hallelujah!
00:09:15.24\00:09:20.40
Man shall not
live by bread alone
00:09:20.41\00:09:25.30
But by every word
00:09:25.31\00:09:30.20
That proceeds from
the mouth of the Lord
00:09:30.21\00:09:35.23
Hallelu, Hallelujah!
00:09:35.24\00:09:39.78
Ask and it shall
be given unto you
00:10:02.31\00:10:07.41
Seek and ye shall find
00:10:07.42\00:10:12.41
Knock and the door
shall be opened unto you
00:10:12.42\00:10:17.37
Hallelu, Hallelujah!
00:10:17.38\00:10:22.19
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
00:10:22.20\00:10:27.18
And His righteousness
00:10:27.19\00:10:32.14
And all these things
shall be added unto you
00:10:32.15\00:10:37.03
Hallelu, Hallelujah!
00:10:37.04\00:10:42.90
Hi, boys and girls, have
you ever seen a whirlwind?
00:10:54.03\00:10:57.46
You know where the winds whirls
around and around a circle
00:10:57.47\00:10:59.90
and swishes
everything up with it.
00:10:59.91\00:11:02.24
I wish you could
have seen the whirlwind,
00:11:02.25\00:11:03.97
that I saw one day
when I was a young man.
00:11:03.98\00:11:06.69
It was the,
fiery chariot of God,
00:11:06.70\00:11:08.87
and it took my master,
Elijah, right up to heaven.
00:11:08.88\00:11:12.20
It was really exciting and
I'm gonna tell you about it.
00:11:12.21\00:11:15.28
But before I do,
let me tell you who I am
00:11:15.29\00:11:18.62
and how I came to be a
prophet of God, Most High.
00:11:18.63\00:11:23.10
I am, Elisha, and my
story begins at a time
00:11:25.24\00:11:29.38
when most of the people
in, Israel, had turned away
00:11:29.39\00:11:32.94
from serving the
only true God of heaven.
00:11:32.95\00:11:36.95
They had turned and started
worshipping the false God, Baal.
00:11:36.96\00:11:41.32
Well, the
mighty, Prophet Elijah,
00:11:41.33\00:11:44.88
became very
discouraged and he thought
00:11:44.89\00:11:47.25
he was the only
person left in all Israel,
00:11:47.26\00:11:50.72
that yet served
the only true God.
00:11:50.73\00:11:54.38
And yet God, spoke to
him one day and told him
00:11:54.39\00:11:58.10
that there were
still 7,000 left in Israel,
00:11:58.11\00:12:01.61
that had not bow
their knee to Baal.
00:12:01.62\00:12:05.00
Well, my father and I were
among those 7,000 faithful ones.
00:12:05.01\00:12:10.97
And God, also told
Elijah, to anoint me, Elisha,
00:12:12.90\00:12:19.61
as prophet to Israel, to take
his place after he was gone.
00:12:19.62\00:12:25.10
As a young lad growing
up, my parents taught me
00:12:28.19\00:12:32.01
to love and serve, for
great and loving God of heaven.
00:12:32.02\00:12:37.41
And they also
taught me the importance
00:12:37.42\00:12:39.54
of doing the little things.
00:12:39.55\00:12:42.11
And so I helped around the house
00:12:42.12\00:12:44.42
and on the farm
doing the chores.
00:12:44.43\00:12:47.54
And as I
cooperated with my father,
00:12:47.55\00:12:51.50
I learned to cooperate
with the God of heaven.
00:12:51.51\00:12:55.44
And I decided that I
would always serve and obey Him.
00:12:55.45\00:12:59.78
Well, one day I
was out in the field
00:13:01.85\00:13:04.34
plowing with twelve yoke of oxen
00:13:04.35\00:13:06.61
and Elijah came by and he cast
his mantle upon my shoulders.
00:13:06.62\00:13:12.34
Well, the Spirit
of God, impressed me
00:13:12.35\00:13:15.43
that what He had just
done was a call from God,
00:13:15.44\00:13:19.21
to take Elijah's
place as the prophet.
00:13:19.22\00:13:23.58
I ran after him and I
said, "Let me kiss my father
00:13:23.59\00:13:27.21
and my mother good
bye, and I'll follow you."
00:13:27.22\00:13:30.75
Elijah looked at me and said,
00:13:30.76\00:13:33.33
"Go back again for
what I've done to you."
00:13:33.34\00:13:36.51
Well, I knew exactly
what he had done to me.
00:13:36.52\00:13:39.52
He had called me to be a prophet
00:13:39.53\00:13:41.77
and I wasn't about to
turn away from following him.
00:13:41.78\00:13:46.54
So I went home, I gave a feast
for my family and my friends
00:13:46.55\00:13:53.71
and then I
became Elijah's servant.
00:13:53.72\00:13:57.23
Once again, they
served in the little things,
00:13:57.24\00:13:59.97
a common place duties of life.
00:13:59.98\00:14:02.80
I even poured
water on Elijah's hands
00:14:02.81\00:14:05.36
when he needed to wash
them, but I didn't mind it.
00:14:05.37\00:14:09.83
The person that's
faithful in the little things
00:14:09.84\00:14:12.63
will also be faithful in
the big things, you know.
00:14:12.64\00:14:14.96
As a prophet of God, one
of Elijah's responsibilities
00:14:18.23\00:14:23.55
and privileges was to visit
the schools of the prophets.
00:14:23.56\00:14:28.49
He will teach the young
men there, more about the,
00:14:28.50\00:14:30.92
great God of heaven,
and He would give them
00:14:30.93\00:14:34.97
a desire to
exalt the law of God,
00:14:34.98\00:14:38.17
and to make it honorable.
00:14:38.18\00:14:40.83
Now the young men
that went to the schools
00:14:40.84\00:14:43.03
were called
sons of the prophets.
00:14:43.04\00:14:46.48
And as Elijah's servant,
I was able to go with him
00:14:46.49\00:14:53.52
to visit the
schools, it was my privilege.
00:14:53.53\00:14:57.67
Well, one day, God revealed
to me, a fantastic secret.
00:14:57.68\00:15:04.31
He told me that He
was going to take Elijah
00:15:04.32\00:15:08.44
to heaven without,
Elijah, ever dying.
00:15:08.45\00:15:13.88
Man, that was some
news. I wanted to stick
00:15:13.89\00:15:17.43
as close as I could to
my master ever after that,
00:15:17.44\00:15:20.67
because there were so much more
00:15:20.68\00:15:22.67
that I wanted to learn from him.
00:15:22.68\00:15:24.52
There were just a few days
remaining before he would go.
00:15:26.02\00:15:29.34
And I just needed to learn
as much as I possibly could.
00:15:29.35\00:15:32.90
Well, the day that,
God, took Elijah to heaven.
00:15:35.40\00:15:41.26
Elijah tested me three
times, to see just how willing
00:15:41.27\00:15:45.96
I was to serve the
great God of heaven.
00:15:45.97\00:15:49.36
At three different
times at Gilgal, at Bethel,
00:15:49.37\00:15:53.66
at Jericho, Elijah said to me,
00:15:53.67\00:15:58.23
"Stay here and rest awhile."
00:15:58.24\00:16:03.60
But I was not going to turn
aside from following him at all.
00:16:03.61\00:16:08.74
And so for three
times a day, I told, Elijah,
00:16:08.75\00:16:14.77
as the Lord lives
and as your soul lives,
00:16:14.78\00:16:18.55
I will not leave you and
so we traveled on together.
00:16:18.56\00:16:24.54
Now when we left Jericho,
50 other sons of the prophets
00:16:24.55\00:16:30.76
followed us at a
long distance, because,
00:16:30.77\00:16:33.02
God, had shown them
that Elijah was going
00:16:33.03\00:16:35.83
to be taken from
Me to heaven that day.
00:16:35.84\00:16:38.64
And they wanted to see
what was going to happen.
00:16:38.65\00:16:42.48
Well, as we walked on,
we came to the Jordan River
00:16:42.49\00:16:46.78
and Elijah, did
an amazing thing.
00:16:46.79\00:16:49.49
He took off his mantle and
he struck the river with it
00:16:49.50\00:16:54.50
and immediately the
waters parted and the dry paths
00:16:54.51\00:16:59.03
stretch all the way
cross to the other shore.
00:16:59.04\00:17:02.82
We walked right across
that river on dry ground
00:17:02.83\00:17:05.59
just like the,
children of Israel,
00:17:05.60\00:17:06.92
had done
hundreds of years before
00:17:06.93\00:17:09.35
when they first
entered the land of Canaan.
00:17:09.36\00:17:12.89
Well, as we walked on,
Elijah, turned to me and said,
00:17:12.90\00:17:17.25
"Elisha, ask of me, what
you would have me do for you?"
00:17:17.26\00:17:22.82
When now the thing
that I wanted the very,
00:17:22.83\00:17:25.19
very most was a large
measure of the spirit,
00:17:25.20\00:17:29.27
that God, had
given my master Elijah.
00:17:29.28\00:17:34.02
I knew that only the
Spirit of God could fit me
00:17:34.03\00:17:37.57
for that important place
to which I have been called
00:17:37.58\00:17:40.85
to serve as the prophet.
00:17:40.86\00:17:43.50
And so I said to Elijah,
00:17:43.51\00:17:45.85
"Please let a double portion
of your spirit rest upon me."
00:17:45.86\00:17:50.86
Elijah looked at me and said,
00:17:53.28\00:17:55.91
"Now you have
asked the hard thing,
00:17:55.92\00:17:59.58
yet if you see me
when I'm taking from you.
00:17:59.59\00:18:04.50
Then you will know
that you have the thing
00:18:04.51\00:18:07.08
that you're asking for. But
if you don't see it happened,
00:18:07.09\00:18:13.33
then you won't
get your request."
00:18:13.34\00:18:18.47
Well, suddenly,
horses in chariot of fire,
00:18:18.48\00:18:21.85
they're straight
between us and separated us
00:18:21.86\00:18:24.32
and a whirlwind took my
master right up into heaven.
00:18:24.33\00:18:28.68
It was so
exciting, I just cried out.
00:18:28.69\00:18:31.75
My father, my
father, the chariot of Israel
00:18:31.76\00:18:34.23
and the horsemen thereof.
And then I saw him no more.
00:18:34.24\00:18:40.56
The Lord God Jehovah,
had taken him to heaven
00:18:40.57\00:18:44.95
and I had actually
seen with my very own eyes
00:18:44.96\00:18:48.94
and right at that moment,
I knew that I had that thing
00:18:48.95\00:18:54.70
what I had asked for, I had
a double portion of his spirit.
00:18:54.71\00:19:02.53
Now when that whirlwind
took my master to heaven.
00:19:02.54\00:19:07.27
The mantle that
he had been wearing,
00:19:07.28\00:19:08.92
felt to the
ground and I reached down
00:19:08.93\00:19:10.37
and I picked it up and I hurried
back to the, Jordan River.
00:19:10.38\00:19:15.38
When I got
there, I gave the river
00:19:15.39\00:19:17.39
a mighty blow,
then I called out.
00:19:17.40\00:19:20.14
Where now is the, God of Elijah,
00:19:20.15\00:19:23.60
immediately the waters parted
00:19:23.61\00:19:27.46
and for the
second time that day,
00:19:27.47\00:19:29.96
I walked right across the
Jordan River, on dry ground.
00:19:29.97\00:19:33.97
Well, now the
sons of the prophets
00:19:36.45\00:19:38.24
that had
followed us from Jericho,
00:19:38.25\00:19:40.60
when they saw the, Jordan River,
00:19:40.61\00:19:43.48
part for me as
it had for, Elijah.
00:19:43.49\00:19:46.67
They said, "The spirit of
Elijah rests upon Elisha."
00:19:46.68\00:19:54.53
You see, I have been
faithful in the little things
00:19:54.54\00:19:59.63
and God, so fit to place far
00:19:59.64\00:20:02.78
greater
responsibilities upon me.
00:20:02.79\00:20:04.90
And ever after that, I
stood in the place of, Elijah,
00:20:08.44\00:20:15.53
as God's prophet to Israel.
00:20:15.54\00:20:18.99
What a privilege that
has been, what a privilege.
00:20:19.00\00:20:25.03
And so, boys and
girls, always be faithful
00:20:25.04\00:20:28.72
in doing the little
things around the home
00:20:28.73\00:20:31.25
that your
parents asked you to do.
00:20:31.26\00:20:34.13
The person that is
faithful in the little things
00:20:34.14\00:20:37.92
will also be
faithful in the big things.
00:20:37.93\00:20:41.19
Don't build your
house on the sandy land
00:20:51.62\00:20:56.19
Don't build it
too near the shore
00:20:56.20\00:21:00.17
Well, it might look kind of nice
00:21:00.18\00:21:02.42
But you'll have
to build it twice
00:21:02.43\00:21:04.56
Or you'll have to
build your house once more
00:21:04.57\00:21:09.06
You want to build
your house upon a rock
00:21:09.07\00:21:13.60
Make a good
foundation on a solid spot
00:21:13.61\00:21:18.16
Though these
storms may come and go
00:21:18.17\00:21:22.60
But the peace of
God you will know
00:21:22.61\00:21:27.57
Don't build your
house on the sandy land
00:21:27.58\00:21:32.04
Don't build it
too near the shore
00:21:32.05\00:21:36.02
Well, it might look kind of nice
00:21:36.03\00:21:38.27
But you'll have to do it twice
00:21:38.28\00:21:40.43
Or you'll have to
build your house once more
00:21:40.44\00:21:44.77
Thank you, Haley,
for that beautiful song,
00:21:55.63\00:21:57.69
I've really enjoyed it.
00:21:57.70\00:21:59.13
But joining to me
today on Sharing Time,
00:21:59.14\00:22:00.94
it's my friend, Taylor.
00:22:00.95\00:22:02.52
And Taylor, you've
had an experience for you,
00:22:02.53\00:22:05.68
and you're able
to share your faith.
00:22:05.69\00:22:07.01
Can you tell how
you share, Jesus?
00:22:07.02\00:22:10.19
I told my friend, Branyn,
how you die 'cause he thought
00:22:10.20\00:22:15.61
may be a ghost
came, he picked you up
00:22:15.62\00:22:18.03
and brought you to heaven.
00:22:18.04\00:22:19.98
But I said, "No, that's wrong."
00:22:19.99\00:22:23.91
Jesus--when you're
buried in the ground,
00:22:23.92\00:22:26.51
then Jesus comes
back, when Jesus comes back,
00:22:26.52\00:22:31.06
you'll go to
heaven. That's right.
00:22:31.07\00:22:33.71
When Jesus comes again,
now your friend, Branyn,
00:22:33.72\00:22:35.87
his grandmother had
died, hadn't she? Yep.
00:22:35.88\00:22:38.04
And so he was very
sad and went wondering
00:22:38.05\00:22:40.44
what happened to his grandma,
00:22:40.45\00:22:41.46
and you were able to
help him and tell him
00:22:41.47\00:22:43.01
his grandma only
sleeping, isn't she? Yep.
00:22:43.02\00:22:45.08
And she's not gonna go
to heaven till Jesus, comes.
00:22:45.09\00:22:47.70
Isn't that a wonderful way
to share Jesus, boys and girls?
00:22:47.71\00:22:50.82
So I think that was nice.
00:22:50.83\00:22:52.34
You've a letter in
there from, Nichole.
00:22:52.35\00:22:53.99
Can you hand it to
me and I'll read it
00:22:54.00\00:22:56.36
to the boys and girls at home.
00:22:56.37\00:22:57.97
And may be if you
can get the next letter
00:22:57.98\00:22:59.47
ready to open, all
right. Oh, you know what,
00:22:59.48\00:23:02.87
first hold this picture up.
We've got a picture of Nichole.
00:23:02.88\00:23:05.29
Oh, I love it when you
sent pictures, boys and girls.
00:23:05.30\00:23:07.94
This one says, "Dear
Brenda, I share Jesus,
00:23:07.95\00:23:09.93
by being kind and loving to
others and if someone falls,
00:23:09.94\00:23:12.90
I don't laugh at them, I
try to help that person up.
00:23:12.91\00:23:16.09
I love watching Kids
Time and I learned a lot.
00:23:16.10\00:23:18.90
Come visit the Bahamas,
real soon, love Nichole."
00:23:18.91\00:23:21.36
She's from the Bahamas.
Well, thank you, Nichole,
00:23:21.37\00:23:24.03
I'm so glad you wrote to me.
00:23:24.04\00:23:25.83
You've another
letter there, Taylor. Yep.
00:23:25.84\00:23:28.07
I'm gonna read that
one, and another picture, oh,
00:23:28.08\00:23:33.31
can you hold that picture up,
00:23:33.32\00:23:34.38
I'll see if I
can get the letter.
00:23:34.39\00:23:36.48
Well, oh, you know
what, hold that picture up,
00:23:36.49\00:23:39.22
the letter is the picture.
00:23:39.23\00:23:40.46
May be I hold this one for you.
00:23:40.47\00:23:41.96
It says, "Dear
Brenda, I am waiting to hear
00:23:41.97\00:23:45.00
you read my letter and
show my picture on Kids Time.
00:23:45.01\00:23:47.95
Thank you for sharing,
Jesus, with us, Joshua."
00:23:47.96\00:23:51.11
And there's Joshua, and
Joshua is from, Honduras.
00:23:51.12\00:23:56.78
Thank you, Joshua.
There you go, Joshua--
00:23:56.79\00:24:00.17
I think you wrote me once
before, didn't you Joshua?
00:24:00.18\00:24:02.35
But you didn't sent a picture,
00:24:02.36\00:24:03.38
so I'm glad you wrote
back and sent me a picture.
00:24:03.39\00:24:05.24
You can do that
too, boys and girls.
00:24:05.25\00:24:07.77
We have another
letter over there, okay.
00:24:07.78\00:24:10.34
Oh, you're doing a
good job at this, Taylor.
00:24:10.35\00:24:12.62
It says, "Dear
Brenda, I am nine-years-old
00:24:12.63\00:24:15.31
and I have a sister
who is five-years-old.
00:24:15.32\00:24:17.68
We love your shows
and so does my mom and dad
00:24:17.69\00:24:21.87
and we want to know
if you have a website."
00:24:21.88\00:24:23.71
Well, we don't
have a website yet,
00:24:23.72\00:24:25.25
but if we do we'll
let you know, okay.
00:24:25.26\00:24:27.51
It says, "My name is Kelly.
00:24:27.52\00:24:29.41
Please write me back as
soon as you get my letter."
00:24:29.42\00:24:32.26
Well, I assure, you
should hear from me very soon.
00:24:32.27\00:24:35.91
If you don't hear
from me, boys and girls,
00:24:35.92\00:24:37.42
you've already written.
00:24:37.43\00:24:38.50
Remember to write again
and send me a written address,
00:24:38.51\00:24:40.73
'cause that's the only
reason I wouldn't write back,
00:24:40.74\00:24:42.65
otherwise we
definitely write back.
00:24:42.66\00:24:44.38
We'll send you a Kids
Time Activity Book, okay.
00:24:44.39\00:24:47.37
We have another letter in there.
00:24:47.38\00:24:49.84
From Nathan. Okay,
let's read Nathan's letter.
00:24:49.85\00:24:54.14
Oh, Nathan, he looks like he
drew us a picture, didn't he?
00:24:54.15\00:24:57.34
Let's see what,
Nathan, has to say right here.
00:24:57.35\00:25:01.04
Oh, look at,
Nathan, drew us a picture
00:25:01.05\00:25:03.22
and put his name
on it. I'm not sure,
00:25:03.23\00:25:04.87
what that picture is
Nathan, but it's real pretty
00:25:04.88\00:25:07.18
and I thank you for,
for sharing it with us.
00:25:07.19\00:25:10.32
Okay, I think I have
a letter over here from,
00:25:10.33\00:25:15.53
let's see from Kayla.
00:25:15.54\00:25:16.97
Can you hold this
picture up for me? Yeah.
00:25:16.98\00:25:19.47
Let's see, this one says,
00:25:19.48\00:25:20.90
"Dear Brenda, my name is Kayla,
00:25:20.91\00:25:22.84
and one time we
passed our Bible stories
00:25:22.85\00:25:25.69
in our neighborhood and
we had 20 Bible story books.
00:25:25.70\00:25:28.38
But when we got
done, we only had five.
00:25:28.39\00:25:31.32
So I hope that they
will become, Christians,
00:25:31.33\00:25:33.90
from reading those books.
00:25:33.91\00:25:35.14
I'm almost
10-years-old, love Kayla."
00:25:35.15\00:25:37.78
Kayla, thank you
very much for that letter.
00:25:37.79\00:25:40.55
I hope they
become, Christians, too.
00:25:40.56\00:25:42.01
Remember whenever
you witness for Jesus,
00:25:42.02\00:25:44.04
make sure you pray, okay.
00:25:44.05\00:25:45.79
And ask Jesus, to
bless your efforts.
00:25:45.80\00:25:48.48
And I think we might have
time for one more right here.
00:25:48.49\00:25:51.37
There's a picture, can
you hold this up for me?
00:25:51.38\00:25:53.65
It said, "Dear
Brenda, I showed, Jesus,
00:25:53.66\00:25:55.40
love by helping a
person that didn't know Jesus,
00:25:55.41\00:25:57.75
move into their new house."
00:25:57.76\00:25:59.57
Well, you know what,
this says, love Kerstin.
00:25:59.58\00:26:02.17
Well, Kerstin,
that was a wonderful way
00:26:02.18\00:26:03.80
to share Jesus, wasn't it?
00:26:03.81\00:26:05.63
See there she looks like she
is riding a llama, doesn't it?
00:26:05.64\00:26:08.84
Well, I want to thank
Taylor, for joining me today.
00:26:08.85\00:26:11.29
Thank you, Taylor,
for sharing your faith
00:26:11.30\00:26:13.07
with our boys and girls and
for witnessing to your friend,
00:26:13.08\00:26:16.42
Brandon, and that was
some special to do, wasn't it?
00:26:16.43\00:26:19.14
And I really enjoyed
having you here today.
00:26:19.15\00:26:21.54
Boys and girls, remember,
00:26:21.55\00:26:23.07
Jesus is coming
soon, He loves you.
00:26:23.08\00:26:25.45
So wherever you
are, whatever you do,
00:26:25.46\00:26:27.30
remember its Kids
Time to share Jesus.
00:26:27.31\00:26:30.49
