00:03 It's time to share there is a world out there
00:07 looking for a friend like Jesus, 00:10 it's time to share there is a world out there. 00:13 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:16 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:20 Kids time, Kids time, Kids time. 00:25 Hi, boys and girls what is that you love more than 00:27 anything in this world is that you are mom or your dad 00:31 or may be your brother or sister or maybe it's even 00:33 your dog or your cat or even your best friend. 00:36 There was a girl whose parents decided to be 00:38 missionaries. Now this family was very, very 00:41 wealthy and this girl had so many nice things 00:44 and cool clothes and leather shoes and anything 00:47 she wanted. Now, her mom told her she couldn't take 00:50 any of these things with her to the mission field 00:51 and it seemed to her that they were just selling 00:54 everything she had. Well, this girl sat in a room 00:57 and she cried as she look around it all her clothes 01:00 stuff, all her clothes and a computer and her CD's 01:03 and she thought how in the world can she get rid 01:05 of all the stuff they were her life, they were the 01:07 things that made her happy or so she thought, 01:10 but fortunately the girl had a very wise mother, 01:13 who saw her daughter crying she came into her room 01:15 and she you know what this mother understood 01:16 what her daughter was thinking and feeling 01:18 because the mother herself was having a hard time 01:21 giving up some of her own things. And that wise mother 01:24 sit down and she told her the Bible story that you are 01:26 going to hear today about the rich young ruler. 01:29 And together they cried a little bit and then they 01:31 dried their tears and they both agreed that when 01:35 Jesus calls nothing else matters and heaven is where 01:38 they wanted their treasure to be. I want you to think 01:41 boys and girls again about what you love the most 01:44 and then think about Jesus, who he gave up heaven 01:47 to come down to this sinful world to die for you. 01:51 Whatever Jesus asked of you drop everything and do it, 01:54 follow him and you will never regret it. 02:02 Hi, boys and girls Ranger Jim saying 02:04 welcome to nature time. We are glad you can join us 02:06 today, we are at the wonderful place called 02:08 Butterfly World near Fort Lauderdale, Florida 02:10 and we have something special for you to see 02:13 and it's one of Ranger Jim famous creepy crawlers 02:17 and my friend Ryan here, who is an entomologist here at 02:19 Butterfly world has something to show us. 02:21 What is this? Well, Ranger Jim we have here a 02:24 caterpillar and this is actually a little blue 02:27 morpho caterpillar coming again from South and 02:29 Central America and I know he doesn't look blue, 02:32 but guess what? When he turns like butterfly he is 02:34 gonna be blue. Well, is he safe to handle like? 02:37 He is, this particular guy is safe to handle. 02:38 Now, there are plenty of butterflies or caterpillars, 02:40 I'm sorry, caterpillars out there that are dangerous 02:43 to handle. So, we always like to tell our boys and 02:45 girls that we have here that you want to be very 02:47 careful now you don't pick up unless you know 02:49 what it is? Well, because this one saves on him 02:51 my friend, would you try it. And you gonna hold them. 02:54 Okay be brave, be brave, you are gonna feel he shows 02:58 palsy, Nayah don't look frightened, don't worry, 03:01 This guy, we would now, lot of people see caterpillar 03:03 and what they see is a whole bunch of legs Ranger Jim, 03:06 but they only have six legs just like a butterfly 03:09 they are insects. They are just a larvae stage of a 03:11 butterfly, but all these other legs on here help him 03:14 to grip the leaf or the plant, so he can crawl up 03:16 and eat. And these guys are pure eating machines on 03:19 believe it or not. Caterpillars eat more 03:22 in the world than anything else in the planet for 03:25 their little tiny size. They can eat up to 20 to 30 03:28 times their weight a day food. So, even though 03:31 they might only eat a little part of the leaf here 03:33 guess what back to them that's like a big meal 03:36 that's like you guys going like order some pizzas 03:39 and have him a 40 or 50 pizzas in one day and also 03:42 this guy can eat. So, what he is eating all that 03:44 the energy all stored in his body for the next stage; 03:46 isn't it right? That's right. Later on, he will 03:48 give qualms up and he will make a little what's called 03:51 a chrysalis or pupa. It will hang himself upside 03:53 and down with little bit of silk and then of course 03:55 after couple of weeks we get the beautiful blue morpho 03:57 butterfly. So, is it does he eat just any plant or so. 04:02 That's a very good question, caterpillars a quite 04:04 finicky especially butterfly caterpillars 04:07 because they will actually only eat the leaf that 04:10 they laid on. When their egg comes out that's the leaf 04:14 they are going to eat. They don't have to go off, 04:16 so if you go home and you find one on your plant you 04:20 don't wanna move him inside when out taking in, 04:23 so vegetation form in each food. So, you wanna take 04:25 what he has been living on because if he, if you don't 04:28 take that he has nothing to eat and it won't work 04:30 for you. So, boys and girls another lesson that 04:32 we can learn these beautiful creatures we can see 04:35 and enjoy and live with and help to persevere, 04:38 so this is Ranger Jim again boys and girls as always 04:41 saying don't forget to tell Jesus that you 04:43 love him because he really does love you. 04:53 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus 04:56 Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual 04:58 blessing in heavenly place in Christ, Ephesians 1:3. 05:08 When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed, 05:14 When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, 05:18 Count your many blessings, name them one by one, 05:24 And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. 05:29 Count your blessings, name them one by one, 05:34 Count your blessings, see what God hath done! 05:39 Count your blessings, name them one by one, 05:45 Count your many blessings, see what God hath done. 05:51 So, amid the conflict, whether great or small, 05:56 Do not be discouraged, God is over all; 06:02 Count your many blessings, angels will attend, 06:07 Help and comfort give you to your journey's end. 06:12 Count your blessings, name them one by one, 06:18 Count your blessings, see what God hath done! 06:23 Count your blessings, name them one by one, 06:29 Count your many blessings, see what God hath done. 06:45 Hi, boys and girls and welcome to talk time 06:47 and I have someone very special with me today 06:50 I have Pastor C.A. Hi Pastor, 06:52 how are you Ms. Brenda. I am doing fine thank you 06:54 and thank you for joining us today. Do you know, 06:56 we have so many questions from kids to answer from all 07:00 over the world are you ready to get started. 07:02 I am ready to get started. Alright, let's do it. 07:03 Let's see the first one. The first question is 07:05 did the stories in the Bible really happen? 07:08 That's a good question. That's a good question. 07:10 But they, yes they did Ms. Brenda, I have a very good 07:12 friend, who is now the president of a college 07:15 but he is an archeologist, which means that he is a 07:17 person who goes back in and digs up old bones 07:19 and digs up old cities and he goes to Jerusalem almost 07:24 every year and every year he is finding things in the 07:27 earth that prove that the Bible stories are very, 07:30 very true, but more than that the Bible says so. 07:32 Peter says Holy men of God spake as they were moved by 07:36 the Holy Spirit and we believe and we know that 07:39 all of those stories are true. God cannot lie, 07:41 his word does not lie and science is proving that 07:45 those things are written in the Bible are very, 07:47 very true. So, you can trust the Bible it is the truth 07:49 the whole truth and nothing, but the truth. 07:51 That's for sure. Okay, let's see there is another 07:54 question here says I want to be baptized how older 07:57 I have to be. Oh! That is also is a very, very good 08:00 question. I, I think and there is no rule in the 08:03 Bible that says a specific age, 08:05 I was baptized at age 9, I think that if you know 08:10 Jesus, if you love Jesus, if you made a commitment 08:14 to follow Jesus then I think you are ready for baptism. 08:17 As long as you know what you are doing, 08:19 you know what's you are getting into, right, 08:21 you commit yourself to Jesus and you want to follow it 08:23 doesn't mean that you are perfect boy or girl. Right. 08:25 It doesn't mean that you never made mistakes. 08:27 It does mean you will never have hard times 08:29 or bad times. It means that you have changed your 08:32 direction, so that you are following Jesus and as long 08:35 as you said Jesus I want you to come into my heart 08:37 and I want to follow you than you are ready for 08:40 baptism. That's right. Okay, let's see here. 08:43 This one says do I have to be baptized to go 08:46 to heaven, another question on baptism. 08:49 Well, as important as baptism is, it is not 08:52 totally essential for heaven and I have got to 08:55 explain that because there are those who will be in 08:57 heaven who did not get baptized though the one that 08:59 comes to the mind of course is the thief on the cross. 09:01 Right. He wasn't able to get baptized now that's a very 09:04 special case he was not able to get baptized, 09:07 right. But as long as we are able to get baptized, 09:10 Christ said to John the Baptist that this is an 09:12 example I am doing this as an example for those 09:15 who come after me. So, Christ has set the example 09:18 he didn't have to be baptized. Right, John said 09:20 that the Christ has suffered sort it be, so let be 09:22 because I wanna set an example. So, we need to 09:24 follow Christ example, but if we cannot then Jesus 09:28 will take care of. It mean we are not physically able, 09:29 if we are not physically able something happens 09:31 that we cannot then, that's alright because we have 09:34 given our hearts to Jesus and that's the most 09:35 important thing. And Jesus knows our hearts 09:37 and Jesus knows our hearts, 09:38 he knows that we are able to or not. 09:40 Okay, let's see I think I have got another question, 09:44 so many of here, it says do we have to kneel 09:46 when we pray. Well, in First Thessalonians, 09:49 I think its chapter 5 about verse 16 or 17, says to 09:53 pray without ceasing. Now, that means we are not gonna 09:56 stay on our knees all the time. We are not gonna be on 09:58 our knees all day now you and I both drive cars. 10:01 That's right, when we drive cars we are praying all 10:03 the time. That's right, that's right. I was a pastor 10:06 in the New York City traffic was so bad, 10:08 I was praying all the time when I was in my car. 10:10 So, praying is more of an attitude, it's more of 10:12 something that's going on in our minds. 10:14 Sometimes, we cannot bow our knees, 10:15 sometimes we can't even close our eyes, 10:17 but our hearts can be united with Jesus. 10:19 We can be talking to Jesus in our mind. 10:21 So, it's the attitude of prayer more than the 10:23 position of prayer that's important to God, 10:26 but it is good sometimes to be on our knees too 10:28 when we can and really, what is that mean 10:31 when you get on your knees. Well, it's, it's, it's just 10:34 a sign of showing that we love the Lord that we are 10:37 servants of the Lord, it is the sign of respect and 10:39 we ought to spend some quite time on our knees 10:41 before Jesus each day and then take that attitude 10:44 throughout the day. So, we are gonna start our day with 10:46 Jesus in prayer end our day with Jesus in prayer 10:49 and then throughout day we will pray a prayer in our 10:52 hearts. Alright, right. And you know, there is a song 10:53 about that, that I love too. Yes, was about prayer. 10:56 Okay, let's see this one says Kids in school make fun 11:01 of me when I pray at lunchtime, is it okay to 11:04 just open my eyes so they don't know I'm praying. 11:08 You know that takes me back to my own childhood as a, 11:11 as a young person who gave his whole heart very early, 11:14 I got picked on to it, and you remember those days, 11:17 yes I did right, appears to be very, very cool. 11:18 And yet the Lord asks us to stand up for him to be 11:22 very brave it is better to obey God rather than then 11:24 we find him in Acts chapter 5, so even though 11:28 we are gonna take some ribbing we are gonna take, 11:32 some getting picked on. If we stand up for Jesus, 11:36 Jesus will stand up for you know for us. 11:38 That's right. I got it to most of because I didn't go 11:41 to things on Sabbath. I was in church they were having 11:42 picnic and they said why don't you come. Right. 11:44 Well, I could not come because I was serving the 11:46 Lord. So, I took it for the Lord, but the Lord kept me 11:49 and I'm so proud that I stood up for him. 11:50 It, it sometimes you take a little you know you get a 11:54 little heat from your friends, but when we stand 11:56 up for Jesus, Jesus will stand up for us and then 11:58 we get the let our light shine before man. 12:00 Oh! that's right, well that's all the time we have 12:02 right now thank you for that Pastor C.A. 12:04 You know boys and girls if you have a question for 12:06 Pastor C.A. he is ready and willing to answer it 12:09 just send it to me here at Kids Time at 3ABN 12:12 and I'll make sure your question gets answered 12:14 because your questions are important to us and 12:16 you know what they are important to Jesus. 12:35 What the world needs is Jesus, 12:41 just a glimpse of Him; 12:46 What the world needs is Jesus, 12:53 just a glimpse of Him. 12:58 He will bring joy and gladness; 13:05 Take away sin and sadness; 13:10 What the world needs is Jesus, 13:16 just a glimpse of Him! 13:22 What the world needs is Jesus, 13:28 just a glimpse of Him; 13:34 What the world needs is Jesus, 13:40 just a glimpse of Him. 13:45 He will bring joy and gladness; 13:51 Take away sin and sadness; 13:57 What the world needs is Jesus, 14:03 just a glimpse of Him! 14:39 Friend, no, no, it's okay, it's okay, 14:42 I don't wanna hurt you, I just wanna help you, 14:46 you see today I have changed it all started with 14:52 my best friend Judah. Judah is one of the richest guys 14:56 in the city. He is good, he keeps all the commandments, 14:59 he pays his time, but he felt like something was 15:02 missing, so I said look Judah let's go talk to the 15:04 teacher about it. Now, I met Jesus. He is a guy, 15:09 who has been going around telling all these great 15:11 stories and healing people. Well, we went up to Jesus 15:14 and Judah said good master what I must do to be saved. 15:19 And Jesus said why do you call me good. 15:22 Only God is good. But to be saved you must keep the 15:26 commandments, do not lie, cheat, steal, do not commit 15:31 adultery. Well Judah said, but master I haven't broken 15:36 any commandments since I was a little kid. 15:38 And Jesus looked at him deeply and said son you lack 15:43 one thing sell all that you have give it to the poor 15:48 and come follow me. Well, Judah hung his head, 15:54 he couldn't do it, he loved his money too much 15:58 and he turned in shame and walked away, 16:02 but I couldn't drag myself away from those, 16:04 those eyes. Jesus looking after Judah and I saw a tear 16:09 drip down his cheek and Jesus said how hard it is 16:14 for rich man into the kingdom of heaven. 16:17 He said it's just as hard as if a huge camel would fit 16:20 to the eye of a needle and at this my heart sunk. 16:25 Well, I am a rich man and I said it is impossible, 16:30 but just like he heard my thoughts. Jesus said no 16:34 with God nothing is impossible and then I felt 16:39 hope, I knew that even though I am rich I can 16:43 make it to the kingdom of heaven and I don't know 16:46 something just changed. I feel love and when I saw 16:50 you here. I knew that I needed to help you. 16:56 So, would you do me the honor and would you come to 16:58 my house. I would clean you up, I will give you food 17:02 and we even find a job for you. Come friend here, 17:06 get up, come to my house you don't need to be a beggar 17:10 anymore. Here take my Jacket, 17:16 you become my brother come to my house. 18:33 It's time for Ms. Brenda's Book of the Day 18:38 and boys and girls is there I have an exciting book 18:40 for you today. It's by Helen Lee and its Guide's 18:44 Greatest Prayer Stories I love prayer stories. 18:46 It says prayer is mind-boggling. 18:49 Find out how it delivered two boys from a pit, 18:52 caused a stolen car to stall, taught a woman to 18:54 read, delivered a snorkeling missionary from a mad 18:57 shark, led a strange black dog to deliver a lost purse, 19:01 healed a crushed cat and so many more all 19:04 boys and girls there is lots of exciting stories in 19:06 this book Guide's Greatest Prayer Stories and it's by 19:09 Helen Lee. You won't wanna miss it. And something else 19:12 you won't wanna miss is today sharing time segment 19:15 because with us today is I have just a special friend 19:19 and her name is Megan. And Megan I am so happy to have 19:21 you here today because you know what you are testimony 19:25 to what God can do and let me just share with the boys 19:27 and girls you have barely been through an ordeal this 19:30 last year. And I would like you to share just 19:33 what Jesus has done in your life. 19:35 Well, I woke up last year with a pain in my leg that 19:40 hurt really bad. So, we are concerned that we didn't 19:44 know what it was and so my mom took me to the doctor 19:49 and they did an x-ray and found a big black spot in my 19:56 bone. A big black spot so what did they tell this big 20:00 black spot was? Well, they didn't know what it was 20:03 and so they sent to me another doctor in 20:06 Winston-Salem and he did a CT scan and find there was 20:12 a tumor, and it was tumor. Now, you have that you 20:15 brought that x-ray with you can we see that right now. 20:19 Up here we go now, now let's find a dark spot, 20:21 I hold up here maybe we really take a really close 20:22 look at it and you are gonna see right there in the 20:25 middle of her bone right up in here you are gonna see a 20:28 round spot, let's take a look there you can see, 20:31 there is a closer look can you see that boys and girls 20:33 and that was the tumor in Megan's leg. 20:36 And that's really, that's really something so that 20:39 must have been pretty scary. And so what did you, 20:44 what did you do than what was it, what happen next? 20:46 Well, the doctor said that I would have to have surgery 20:49 to remove the tumor and so he said that we would fill 20:57 with donor bone. Okay, but my mom didn't want that 21:00 because she was afraid just in case something. 21:03 So, we asked if he can fill it seckel. 21:08 Okay, it's another kind of a procedure okay. 21:12 And so he wasn't too sure, but he was able to get it 21:17 and so they did the operation yeah and they 21:23 did the operation. Let me ask you this from the time 21:25 that you, did you were in pain the entire time. 21:29 Like from the time you first woke up with that pain 21:31 where you and until you had your surgery was 21:33 where you are in pain. Well, I had pain, at first, 21:38 yes in last year. Okay, and my mom asked our pastor to 21:44 have me anointed okay. What is that mean now because 21:47 some people probably have no clue what being anointed 21:49 is, because as soon as you found out that you had a 21:51 tumor your mom knew to call on a higher power that 21:55 she knew and your family through and you knew to ask 21:58 Jesus for help didn't you. Yes. And, so what is being 22:01 anointed? Well they get a few elders from our church 22:06 and our pastor and they pray that Jesus will heal me 22:10 or take the pain away. And so after the anointing, 22:14 the pain was all gone and you never had anymore pain 22:17 after you were anointed. Isn't that a great big 22:20 praise the Lord, I mean that is absolutely an answer 22:23 to prayer because who does this, yeah, so I mean that 22:27 was just miraculous so you went in fact that I think 22:30 you were telling me earlier that you right after you 22:34 were anointed you went out played actually and went 22:36 right out in the yard with your friends, right. 22:38 Yeah. And that was amazing. So, now you had the surgery 22:42 and what happened after that. Well, I had to be 22:46 unconscious for three months and each time we went back 22:52 to see the doctor we take him a book and somehow Jesus 22:56 loved him and how Jesus had taking care of me. 22:59 So, you are still trying to witness in fact you know 23:01 what Ms. Brenda saw you and I came to preach in your 23:03 church, didn't I, and you were still on crutches at 23:05 that point. Yeah, in fact I think you brought a picture 23:08 didn't you, you are gonna show picture of you 23:10 and Ms. Brenda there you are in crutches and here is 23:13 Megan and you are, you are one of our North Carolina 23:16 Kids Time singers and you sing for us that day even 23:20 though you had crutches on didn't you, yeah. 23:21 I was so proud of you. So, Jesus has done a lot you 23:25 tell me when after the surgery did they say that 23:29 you, that it was cancer. Well it turned out it was 23:33 not cancer it is just a cartilage tumor. 23:37 So, a benign tumor, yes, and so they took it out 23:41 and after you were on three, three months on crutches 23:44 and I saw you walking, now you are walking pretty good, 23:47 have you had any pain at all sense. No and that, 23:51 now let me ask you something do you think God healed 23:54 you. Yes. Yes, I think he did too, isn't that 23:57 wonderful boys and girls. You know, we need to put our 23:59 faith and trust in Jesus and we need to always go in 24:02 for prayer not just when we are in trouble or sick, 24:04 but we just need to make Jesus our very best friend 24:07 and I would like to encourage you to do that. 24:09 Megan thank you so much for sharing that story with us 24:12 today because I, I love to hear one of those stories 24:16 that God has just really touched your life 24:18 and he surely has and you know what I think, I think 24:20 God has chosen you for a very special work, 24:23 he want you to dedicate your life to him, 24:25 I am sure of it. And keep sharing Jesus everywhere 24:28 you go okay. Right. Well, right now, I would like to 24:31 go here with Jemal has to do to share Jesus. 24:36 Hi, Ms. Brenda my name is Jemal.
