It's time to share
there's a world out there,
00:00:03.60\00:00:07.05
Looking for a friend like Jesus.
00:00:07.33\00:00:09.85
It's time to share
there's a world out there;
00:00:10.36\00:00:13.72
let's tell them
that He loves us so.
00:00:13.75\00:00:16.68
Let's tell them
that He loves us so.
00:00:17.20\00:00:20.27
Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time.
00:00:20.72\00:00:25.38
Hi, boys and girls. Have
you ever tried to count sand,
00:00:25.41\00:00:27.16
I have a bowl full of
sand right here and let me see
00:00:27.62\00:00:29.71
if I can count it. Do
you think I can? Let's see,
00:00:29.82\00:00:32.07
we've got one, oh!
No, here there you go two,
00:00:32.56\00:00:36.60
you can barely see it,
can't you? Here's three,
00:00:36.68\00:00:39.88
four, five, oh, my. I
might be a whole week or whole
00:00:40.41\00:00:46.85
night if I try to count
all this sand, it's impossible
00:00:46.99\00:00:50.06
isn't it? It doesn't
look like I've even taken,
00:00:50.13\00:00:52.37
you know, anything
out of that bowl does it.
00:00:52.99\00:00:54.80
Do you know in our Bible
study today, an Israelite
00:00:55.35\00:00:57.49
soldier is going to tell
us the exciting story of an
00:00:57.55\00:01:00.33
amazing battle between
the Israelites and their
00:01:00.41\00:01:03.16
enemies the Midianites.
Now, according to this
00:01:03.23\00:01:05.80
soldier there was so
many Midianites that they were
00:01:05.89\00:01:08.59
like the sands of the
sea. Now, what you say,
00:01:08.87\00:01:11.09
wait a minute, that's
impossible? Well I think what
00:01:11.19\00:01:13.88
that really means is
that they were so many
00:01:14.02\00:01:16.03
Midianites that no
one could even count them.
00:01:16.17\00:01:18.49
How could the tiny nation
of Israel go up against the
00:01:18.76\00:01:21.31
huge Midianite army,
right with swords and shields
00:01:21.53\00:01:25.16
and spears, right?
Wrong, maybe with thousands and
00:01:25.19\00:01:28.79
thousands and thousands
of soldiers all fitted for
00:01:28.95\00:01:31.47
battle, right? Wrong
again, you won't believe how
00:01:31.57\00:01:35.46
Israel fought that
great battle, they have the
00:01:35.61\00:01:38.34
strangest weapons too,
and they only had well,
00:01:38.48\00:01:41.86
I better not give away
the story, he can tell it a
00:01:42.48\00:01:45.55
whole lot better than I
can. You wanna listen to this
00:01:45.62\00:01:48.35
soldier, but just wait
and see what he is gonna tell
00:01:48.55\00:01:51.43
you. In the mean
time, let's see what
00:01:51.46\00:01:53.11
Ranger Jim has to show us today.
00:01:53.27\00:01:54.84
Hi, boys and girls
Ranger Jim saying welcome to
00:02:02.03\00:02:03.85
Nature Time. We're glad
you could join us today;
00:02:03.99\00:02:05.78
we're in Chattanooga,
Tennessee with my friend
00:02:05.87\00:02:07.85
Nature Dan. Dan we're
glad to have on the program.
00:02:07.95\00:02:10.02
Well, I'm glad to
be here Ranger Jim.
00:02:10.15\00:02:11.56
Tell us something about
this. Oh! I'll tell you,
00:02:11.65\00:02:13.39
this is a really neat
tree. Now, if I were to ask you
00:02:13.47\00:02:16.07
what this tree was
called you tell me some right.
00:02:16.20\00:02:19.48
Like what, what would
you call this Well, I would
00:02:19.59\00:02:20.85
call it, I know it is
an iron wood. Iron wood,
00:02:21.13\00:02:22.99
well that's what
some people know it by,
00:02:23.10\00:02:24.82
but I have known
people to argue and say well,
00:02:25.33\00:02:27.35
that's not an iron
tree, that's not iron wood,
00:02:27.50\00:02:29.60
I know iron wood, it doesn't
look like that at all and
00:02:29.72\00:02:32.28
that's the problem with
common names and this tree
00:02:32.33\00:02:34.94
has lots and lots
and lots of common names,
00:02:35.19\00:02:38.47
it's called iron wood,
but it's also called muscle
00:02:38.75\00:02:41.99
wood. Well, I could
understand that look at all
00:02:42.03\00:02:43.92
of these muscles. Oh!
Yeah, looks like muscles on
00:02:43.95\00:02:46.85
someone's arms or it's
also called blue beach because
00:02:46.97\00:02:51.09
it's gonna bark
like a beach tree there,
00:02:51.20\00:02:53.27
right I see that, oh,
yeah. And it's also called
00:02:53.41\00:02:55.74
hornbeam and in fact
another name sometimes is
00:02:55.89\00:02:58.71
confused with hophornbeam
because of the way the
00:02:58.91\00:03:01.61
flowers are. It is a
neat tree, yeah, in fact you
00:03:01.71\00:03:05.66
think that this might
have had a use. What use do you
00:03:05.83\00:03:08.83
think it might have
had? Well, I would think,
00:03:08.99\00:03:11.23
being as tough as it is
like that on the new frontier,
00:03:11.40\00:03:14.44
I think they would be
using it for maybe ax handles,
00:03:14.54\00:03:17.73
that's a good one and
maybe for like wagons,
00:03:18.03\00:03:20.62
you know how the
wagon wheels had to take a
00:03:20.68\00:03:22.58
lot of stress, and so it
really had to stand up to
00:03:22.68\00:03:25.64
abuse, so it would have
to be as strong as iron,
00:03:25.80\00:03:30.15
yeah. So iron wood
became the name for this thing.
00:03:30.21\00:03:33.29
Now, there is another
tree like this in the woods,
00:03:33.75\00:03:35.40
it doesn't look like this
at all, but is also used that
00:03:35.57\00:03:38.96
way as axles and parts
of wagon wheels and it too
00:03:39.03\00:03:42.63
was also called iron
wood. Yeah, that's where you
00:03:42.66\00:03:46.28
get the confusion,
yeah. Well, that is an amazing
00:03:46.31\00:03:49.25
thing now. Does it
have a use today, do we?
00:03:49.30\00:03:52.67
Well, today it's a good
tree to have grown by the
00:03:53.61\00:03:56.30
creek. In fact, when
you see something like this
00:03:56.41\00:03:58.93
growing you know that it's
a wet land type of a place.
00:03:59.03\00:04:01.43
Right. Because it's like
to grow in those kind of moist
00:04:01.59\00:04:04.36
in the fancy word, I
mean the real fancy word for
00:04:04.44\00:04:06.92
is riparian. A
riparian. A riparian environment
00:04:07.36\00:04:11.45
and that means like a
stream like or river like
00:04:11.59\00:04:13.76
place. Oh! I, I see we,
you have a river birch at
00:04:13.89\00:04:17.01
this part of the
country that, yeah, that is,
00:04:17.05\00:04:19.30
that is the tree that
also would be in a riparian
00:04:19.57\00:04:22.07
habitat, would be. And
this is right there with it.
00:04:22.14\00:04:24.45
Does this tree grow
rather tall, does it grow big?
00:04:25.20\00:04:28.23
Kind of not real big,
they call it an understory tree
00:04:28.85\00:04:31.69
because it's understory of
all of the big old trees do
00:04:31.72\00:04:35.10
there and it usually
grows at an angle out away
00:04:35.33\00:04:38.73
from the bed of the bank
because it's going towards
00:04:38.80\00:04:42.47
the light and most of
the light is out that way.
00:04:42.86\00:04:44.83
Alright and so, he is not
very big, but he is tough,
00:04:45.13\00:04:47.47
he is very tough, he's
very tough and on the early
00:04:47.81\00:04:49.91
frontier he had a very
important functions, so.
00:04:50.13\00:04:52.29
Absolutely, well that is
just wonderful to learn these
00:04:52.32\00:04:54.51
things. Boys and girls,
this is Ranger Jim telling
00:04:54.59\00:04:57.24
you once again
don't forget to tell Jesus
00:04:57.27\00:05:00.32
that you love him
because he really does love you.
00:05:00.35\00:05:03.96
Kids Time singers
salute. Klizni, what happened to
00:05:11.13\00:05:16.42
your hand? Uncle Buddy,
I fell and my hand had a
00:05:16.56\00:05:19.91
battle with the
floor and I cried.
00:05:20.10\00:05:22.23
But you're still here this week.
00:05:23.47\00:05:24.53
I wouldn't miss it for anything.
00:05:25.35\00:05:27.24
Boys and girls, we're
gonna lose some battles,
00:05:28.60\00:05:30.08
but with Jesus we can always do
00:05:30.81\00:05:32.15
what he needs us to do.
00:05:32.29\00:05:33.33
Sound the battle
cry! See, the foe is nigh;
00:05:42.27\00:05:45.82
Raise the
standard high for the Lord;
00:05:46.05\00:05:49.22
Gird your armor on,
stand firm everyone;
00:05:49.69\00:05:52.84
Rest your cause
upon His holy Word.
00:05:53.10\00:05:56.06
Rouse, then, soldiers,
rally round the banner,
00:05:56.54\00:05:59.71
Ready, steady,
pass the word along;
00:06:00.16\00:06:03.02
Onward, forward,
shout aloud, "Hosanna!"
00:06:03.48\00:06:06.77
Christ is Captain
of the mighty throng.
00:06:07.21\00:06:10.44
And strong to meet the
foe, marching on we go,
00:06:16.66\00:06:19.94
While our cause we
know, must prevail;
00:06:20.28\00:06:23.50
Shield and banner
bright, gleaming in the light,
00:06:23.81\00:06:27.17
Battling for the
right we never can fail.
00:06:27.59\00:06:30.81
Rouse, then, soldiers,
rally round the banner,
00:06:30.99\00:06:34.25
Ready, steady,
pass the word along;
00:06:34.52\00:06:37.57
Onward, forward,
shout aloud, "Hosanna!"
00:06:38.12\00:06:41.30
Christ is Captain
of the mighty throng.
00:06:41.64\00:06:44.78
O Thou God of all,
hear us when we call,
00:06:51.36\00:06:54.88
Help us one and
all by Thy grace;
00:06:55.13\00:06:58.54
When the battle's
done, and the victories won,
00:06:58.82\00:07:02.18
May we wear the
crown before Thy face.
00:07:02.48\00:07:05.68
Rouse, then, soldiers,
rally round the banner,
00:07:06.15\00:07:09.35
Ready, steady,
pass the word along;
00:07:09.69\00:07:12.62
Onward, forward,
shout aloud, "Hosanna!"
00:07:13.19\00:07:16.32
Christ is Captain
of the mighty throng.
00:07:16.82\00:07:22.03
Hi, boys and girls
and welcome to Talk Time.
00:07:30.50\00:07:32.79
I'm very excited today
because I have my friend
00:07:33.19\00:07:35.58
Pastor C.A. with us
today. Hi, Pastor C.A.
00:07:35.75\00:07:38.14
How are you?
Good, how are you doing?
00:07:38.17\00:07:40.04
It's good to be
here. Well, you know what
00:07:40.15\00:07:41.63
boys and girls have written
lots and lots of questions
00:07:41.74\00:07:44.09
and I know that you're
willing and ready to answer
00:07:44.20\00:07:47.48
those aren't you?
I'm ready to go. Alright,
00:07:47.51\00:07:49.48
well let's choose one
out of the basket here I have
00:07:49.76\00:07:51.77
already jotted some of
them down and the first one
00:07:51.86\00:07:54.52
is, the devil is so bad
why did God make the devil?
00:07:54.64\00:07:58.18
You know what, that's
a good question. Yeah,
00:07:58.56\00:08:00.02
is a very question,
very insightful question.
00:08:00.15\00:08:02.20
Yes, well I, I would
like to young people to know
00:08:02.28\00:08:05.46
first of all the God did
not make the devil, okay,
00:08:05.66\00:08:08.07
and the Book of Ecclesiastes
chapter 12, chapter 18,
00:08:08.15\00:08:11.62
chapter 20 all give us
a little insight on how,
00:08:11.69\00:08:14.92
into how the
devil became the devil.
00:08:14.95\00:08:17.58
God made Lucifer, he
made a beautiful covering
00:08:17.91\00:08:20.77
angel, beautiful he
could sing, he was very
00:08:21.00\00:08:23.42
beautiful, but the, the
Bible says, inequity was
00:08:23.51\00:08:26.22
found in him. He was
corrupted by his beauty,
00:08:26.34\00:08:29.89
so the devil made the
devil, okay, God made a
00:08:30.05\00:08:33.38
perfect beautiful
angel, but somehow his beauty
00:08:33.49\00:08:36.70
turned into him and he
became Lucifer the devil,
00:08:37.58\00:08:42.63
the enemy of God.
That's a good answer, you know,
00:08:43.23\00:08:44.74
Pastor C.A. anytime we
get puffed up with pride,
00:08:44.97\00:08:47.31
anytime that we start
thinking about ourselves,
00:08:47.61\00:08:50.30
yes, we're in
trouble, aren't we? Yes, yes,
00:08:50.36\00:08:52.46
well let's see, I've got
one right here; let's see what
00:08:52.62\00:08:55.13
this one is, this one
is from Oklahoma. It says,
00:08:55.29\00:08:57.77
is it true that Shadrach,
Meshach and Abednego had
00:08:57.87\00:09:01.41
other names and
if so what were they?
00:09:01.67\00:09:03.45
Very true, they did have
other names in the Book of
00:09:03.66\00:09:06.22
Daniel in the very first
chapter. The Bible tells us
00:09:06.33\00:09:09.14
that they were
Hebrews and they had Hebrew
00:09:09.18\00:09:11.15
names Shadrach,
Meshach and Abednego were their
00:09:11.28\00:09:14.73
Babylonian names. Oh!
It was very, very common
00:09:14.76\00:09:17.17
when people had
taken away into captivity,
00:09:18.08\00:09:20.18
their masters gave them
new names. So, Shadrach,
00:09:20.49\00:09:23.56
Meshach and
Abednego are the names of, of
00:09:23.67\00:09:26.00
Babylonian Gods,
their original names were
00:09:26.14\00:09:28.74
Hananiah, Azariah and
Mishael. Those are their
00:09:28.89\00:09:31.99
Hebrew names and
Nebuchadnezzar had those
00:09:32.12\00:09:34.84
names changed to
Babylonian names and we know
00:09:35.01\00:09:38.02
them by their
Babylonian names, but their,
00:09:38.11\00:09:40.48
their original names
were Hananiah, Azariah,
00:09:40.84\00:09:42.92
and Mishael, oh! And
that's Daniel chapter 1.
00:09:42.99\00:09:45.15
Well, that's good, thank
you. Okay, because we just
00:09:45.29\00:09:48.12
know the familiar ones
that we're used to hearing.
00:09:48.26\00:09:50.05
Okay, let's see this
question is, sometimes when
00:09:50.51\00:09:52.94
we are playing my
brother gets upset and says mean
00:09:53.10\00:09:55.69
things to me does the
Bible say anything about
00:09:55.76\00:09:58.08
the words that we say?
Good question. Oh! Yes,
00:09:58.11\00:09:59.83
Oh! Yes, the Book of
James the second and third
00:10:00.07\00:10:02.76
chapters talk a lot about
this little thing we called
00:10:02.82\00:10:05.08
the tongue, and James
says to say that we love the
00:10:05.16\00:10:09.10
Lord and not be able to
control our tongue is a very
00:10:09.25\00:10:12.34
bad thing. By our
words we're justified, by our
00:10:12.47\00:10:15.18
words we're condemned
the Bible says and when
00:10:15.33\00:10:18.22
we give our hearts to
Jesus he also gives us control
00:10:18.27\00:10:21.39
of our tongue. So, our
brothers and sisters should
00:10:21.45\00:10:23.86
not say bad things to
us they need to practice,
00:10:23.99\00:10:26.23
saying good things and
controlling that temper
00:10:26.57\00:10:28.59
because that's what it's
all about giving our lives to
00:10:28.72\00:10:30.72
Jesus, we give him, we
commit our lives to him and
00:10:30.80\00:10:33.53
he gives us control.
Oh! That's wonderful.
00:10:33.60\00:10:36.10
What about swear
words? Oh! Swear words,
00:10:36.18\00:10:38.04
I don't know, okay,
again he gives us control.
00:10:38.13\00:10:41.73
Swear words I wouldn't
use, just when you can't
00:10:41.98\00:10:43.69
think of anything to
say, you say something very
00:10:43.77\00:10:45.17
bad and very evil, but
Jesus gives us control to,
00:10:45.31\00:10:48.54
to hold our
tongues and to be at peace.
00:10:48.81\00:10:50.67
That's a good answer,
okay let's see, it says,
00:10:51.16\00:10:53.13
are angels real? Oh!
Angels are very real.
00:10:53.36\00:10:56.47
Angels are very real,
the Book of Hebrews chapter
00:10:56.93\00:10:59.60
1, I believe it is verse
14 talks about angels that are
00:10:59.69\00:11:03.43
ministering spirits.
Angels are messengers send by
00:11:03.54\00:11:06.80
God to help us do things
and to help us accomplish
00:11:06.96\00:11:09.37
things and to
encourage us along the way.
00:11:09.45\00:11:11.13
Angels are moving back
and forth we cannot see
00:11:11.38\00:11:13.44
them, but they are there.
And they are there to help
00:11:13.47\00:11:15.82
us serve Jesus and be
better people. Okay, one more
00:11:15.96\00:11:19.29
question from Ms. Brenda
maybe, is it, are guardian
00:11:19.44\00:11:22.56
angels real? Yes, yes, I
think and the Bible gives
00:11:22.61\00:11:26.66
indication of this that
only in heaven we'll be,
00:11:26.79\00:11:29.37
we'll be able to see our
guardian angel and ask them
00:11:29.69\00:11:31.45
about some of those
things, sometimes you want to
00:11:31.57\00:11:33.29
step off the curve and
something held you back
00:11:33.47\00:11:35.28
from stepping off the
curve and a car goes by,
00:11:35.40\00:11:37.59
and as you stepped off
that curve oh, it could have
00:11:37.87\00:11:39.82
been very, very bad. And
these guardian angles help
00:11:39.97\00:11:42.26
keep us and help us to
serve Jesus. I think perhaps
00:11:42.42\00:11:44.85
we have to wait till we
get to heaven won't we to
00:11:44.88\00:11:46.29
find out, how much our
guardian angels have done
00:11:46.44\00:11:48.75
for us, very much so,
right, yes. Well, that's all the
00:11:48.81\00:11:50.69
time we have right
now and Pastor C.A.
00:11:50.75\00:11:52.37

Pastor C.A. send it to me at
00:11:56.01\00:11:59.10
careofkidstime@3abn

00:11:59.18\00:12:01.42
questions get

00:12:01.65\00:12:03.46
are important to
us and your questions
00:12:03.55\00:12:06.27
are important to Jesus.
00:12:06.31\00:12:07.98
Hold on, hold on, you
guys wanna hear how the
00:12:32.06\00:12:34.08
battle went last
night. Yes, yes. Oh! Okay,
00:12:34.19\00:12:37.44
quite, quite, you
know, how the Midianites have
00:12:37.52\00:12:39.82
been everywhere in our
country, stealing our food,
00:12:40.02\00:12:43.04
yeah, well we finally
prayed, we prayed to God,
00:12:43.45\00:12:46.81
yeah. He raised up
Gideon to free us. Well,
00:12:47.07\00:12:50.14
you remember
couple of weeks ago when,
00:12:50.17\00:12:51.70
when Gideon gathered
together all the men and
00:12:51.90\00:12:54.06
all the fighters came
together, yeah, well I
00:12:54.18\00:12:56.92
looked out and I saw
our huge army and I knew
00:12:57.00\00:12:59.55
that with this kind of
army we could defeat Midian,
00:12:59.61\00:13:02.09
yeah, yeah, you got to
tell him, what happened to
00:13:02.15\00:13:03.94
the army, what happened
to the army, you got to tell
00:13:04.01\00:13:05.11
him. Alright, well,
well, God looked at the army
00:13:05.21\00:13:07.46
and he said it's too
big. He said, if they defeat
00:13:07.71\00:13:10.34
Midian they will think
they did it by themselves,
00:13:10.49\00:13:13.10
so he told Gideon to
stand up and say, whoever is
00:13:13.57\00:13:17.03
afraid, whoever doesn't
wanna fight, you may leave
00:13:17.21\00:13:20.56
with your honor, oh! And
then like tons of guys left.
00:13:20.79\00:13:25.60
Wow! I thought this is
crazy, like our army was
00:13:25.93\00:13:28.79
already smaller than
the Midianites army. And now
00:13:28.89\00:13:31.63
we will cut down by half.
Oh! But we still, we still
00:13:31.87\00:13:36.12
had a pretty good sized
army, okay. Well, God saw
00:13:36.40\00:13:39.32
the army and he said,
they're still too big, if they
00:13:39.35\00:13:42.00
defeat Midian they'll
think it was because of them.
00:13:42.06\00:13:45.46
So, he had a plan with.
Hey, don't, don't forget
00:13:46.28\00:13:48.31
tell about the river.
Listen, I'm, I'm telling the
00:13:48.47\00:13:50.21
story, okay, alright,
alright. Don't forget that
00:13:50.33\00:13:52.04
part. Alright, so we
got to the river and there
00:13:52.21\00:13:54.45
were two types of men at
the river. Now, the first
00:13:54.55\00:13:56.73
type they dropped down
on all four and they just
00:13:57.10\00:13:59.81
stuck their heads in the
water and they just slurped
00:13:59.99\00:14:02.36
all the water, but then
they were, they were men
00:14:02.51\00:14:04.82
like us who knew that
the Midianites were around
00:14:04.91\00:14:07.29
and we were looking
at the hills and we just
00:14:07.49\00:14:09.88
dropped our hands on
the water and slurped it out
00:14:10.13\00:14:12.21
we were ready for a
fight. Oh! Well, Gideon said
00:14:12.35\00:14:14.93
all the men like us
could stay, but everyone who
00:14:15.13\00:14:17.40
dropped down and drink
the water like a dog could
00:14:17.60\00:14:20.22
leave. And you
know, how many that left?
00:14:20.25\00:14:21.22
How many? Three
hundred, they were only three
00:14:23.46\00:14:26.70
hundred of us. And
you know how big the
00:14:26.87\00:14:28.70
Midianite army was?
They were as numerous as the
00:14:28.93\00:14:31.47
sands of the sea.
Well, about nighttime, we got
00:14:31.74\00:14:35.34
up into the mountain.
Tell something about our
00:14:35.40\00:14:36.54
weapons, oh! Alright let
me, let me tell the story,
00:14:36.57\00:14:39.13
you tell me that
out, when we got up and we
00:14:39.53\00:14:41.75
look down in the valley
and they were Midianites
00:14:41.94\00:14:43.94
everywhere. And I
could tell Gideon was pretty
00:14:44.07\00:14:46.38
scared and so that
night right after we went to
00:14:46.60\00:14:49.55
sleep, Gideon woke me
up and he said, come on
00:14:49.66\00:14:52.29
we've got to go down
God told me to sneaking
00:14:52.56\00:14:54.41
to the Midianite camp.
Well, we got our stuff and
00:14:54.44\00:14:58.50
I put on my helmet and
we snuck down and it was
00:14:58.62\00:15:01.30
dark and they were
sentries around and we got pass
00:15:01.68\00:15:04.43
one sentry and we got
next to a tent and we listened
00:15:04.53\00:15:07.53
and they were two
men inside and they were
00:15:07.96\00:15:09.84
sacred. You know what
they were talking about?
00:15:10.10\00:15:11.96
What, what, a dream.
One of them had in a dream?
00:15:12.39\00:15:15.84
He said, I had a dream
and there was this huge loaf
00:15:16.68\00:15:19.20
of bread upon the
mountain and it rolled down
00:15:19.26\00:15:21.97
and hit our tent and
knocked it flat. Wow!
00:15:22.18\00:15:24.56
And the other man said,
loaf of bread, I know what
00:15:24.63\00:15:26.94
that means, he said
Gideon will defeat us tonight.
00:15:26.97\00:15:32.08
Well, Gideon and I
looked at each other and we
00:15:33.71\00:15:34.88
were like wow! This
was a sign from God, yes,
00:15:34.98\00:15:38.87
so we snuck out and we
got to pass the sentries
00:15:39.15\00:15:42.05
and we climbed upon
the mountain and Gideon got
00:15:42.16\00:15:43.99
his men together. And he
gave their secret weapons.
00:15:44.13\00:15:47.68
You got to hear this;
you got to hear about the
00:15:48.01\00:15:49.24
weapons. Do you
wanna know what the weapons
00:15:49.58\00:15:50.80
were? Yes, yeah. A
trumpet and a torch with
00:15:50.96\00:15:55.10
a pitcher over it, I
know, that's what we got,
00:15:55.13\00:15:58.28
now wait, wait, wait,
wait hold on. Now this is not
00:16:00.25\00:16:03.65
the way to fight, but God
doesn't fight like regular
00:16:03.78\00:16:06.56
men fight. Well
Gideon split us up into three
00:16:06.87\00:16:09.38
groups of a hundred men
and my group was up into
00:16:09.50\00:16:12.12
the north and we had
to wait for the signal.
00:16:12.17\00:16:14.65
Well, Gideon was over
on the south and there was
00:16:15.17\00:16:17.70
another group and we
kind of spread out, and then
00:16:17.76\00:16:20.11
we were just waiting
and it was dark and I was
00:16:20.14\00:16:23.18
really scared because
all I had was a trumpet and,
00:16:23.38\00:16:26.54
and a pitcher with
over a torch and the army
00:16:26.70\00:16:29.33
down there was huge,
but I knew that God had
00:16:29.44\00:16:32.74
a plan, yeah and then
all of a sudden Gideon
00:16:32.77\00:16:35.60
cracked his pottery
and the flame just Woof!
00:16:36.20\00:16:38.75
Flared up and then I saw
the melon surrounding the
00:16:39.04\00:16:42.42
valley, as everyone
through their pitchers off,
00:16:42.51\00:16:44.73
the flames just spread
it up all around and then I
00:16:44.98\00:16:48.77
felt God, he kind of
rushed over behind me and
00:16:49.36\00:16:53.52
went into the valley,
wow! And then I raised my
00:16:53.78\00:16:56.25
torch up and I blew my
trumpet and then everyone
00:16:56.38\00:16:58.98
was flashing the
torches around and blowing their
00:16:59.06\00:17:01.27
trumpets and the Midianites
thought Gideon is among
00:17:01.42\00:17:04.54
us and so they grab
their swords and they started
00:17:04.57\00:17:06.92
fighting each other.
Wow! Praise the Lord,
00:17:07.17\00:17:11.19
all I had to do was
blow my trumpet and they were
00:17:11.67\00:17:14.05
just wiping each other
out. Oh! No, well soon most
00:17:14.15\00:17:17.35
of the army was
defeated and Gideon gave the
00:17:17.46\00:17:19.61
charge and we
charged down in there and we
00:17:19.79\00:17:22.24
chased them out of
there, you know, it was a great
00:17:22.58\00:17:24.12
victory for God. Praise
the Lord, praise the Lord,
00:17:24.29\00:17:28.57
praise the Lord. It was
just crazy that's not how you
00:17:28.70\00:17:32.00
fight a war, you don't
fight getting rid of most your
00:17:32.09\00:17:34.52
army and with
trumpets and torches, but God
00:17:34.61\00:17:39.11
doesn't fight like us, I
like that. God was great,
00:17:39.63\00:17:42.69
you know, I, I came to
do something, what did I
00:17:43.22\00:17:44.72
have to do. We got to
get the bread. Oh, we got
00:17:44.78\00:17:47.10
to get the bread, all
the soldiers are angry.
00:17:47.17\00:17:48.14
Can you help us give
bread for Gideon. Yeah,
00:17:48.15\00:17:49.47
sure. Come on, let's
go, we got to get the bread,
00:17:49.61\00:17:51.12
come on guys, come on give the
00:17:51.27\00:17:52.24
bread, give the bread. Okay.
00:17:52.25\00:17:53.22
[Spanish Song]
00:17:53.23\00:20:17.60
It's time for Ms.
Brenda's Book of the Day.
00:20:25.05\00:20:28.50
And boys and girls do
I have a good book for
00:20:29.18\00:20:31.30
you today. This is
called the "The Man in the Blue
00:20:31.38\00:20:33.49
Skirt" by Sandy Zuagg.
And Alice is in china as a
00:20:33.63\00:20:37.22
missionary and she is
so fascinated by the local
00:20:37.34\00:20:39.67
market place, its
boost are brimming with spicy
00:20:39.79\00:20:42.57
foods and fresh
vegetables and sticky rice
00:20:42.72\00:20:45.50
and even juicy
mangoes, but then scary things
00:20:45.54\00:20:48.66
start happening.
Alice's baby brother Johnny
00:20:48.84\00:20:51.23
disappears and angry
gangs chase her into a
00:20:51.42\00:20:53.68
Buddhist temple.
Meanwhile, a mysterious
00:20:53.84\00:20:56.74
man wearing a blue
skirt is following her
00:20:56.87\00:20:59.59
everywhere, what could
he want? Oh! No, but I'm
00:20:59.93\00:21:03.94
not gonna tell you
anymore, you're gonna have to
00:21:04.03\00:21:05.76
read the book "The
Man in the Blue Skirt"
00:21:05.84\00:21:08.04
by Sandy Zuagg. Oh!
That's look like a good
00:21:08.25\00:21:09.22
book. Well, boys and
girls I have a special treat
00:21:10.89\00:21:13.21
for today, I have not
one, but two guests with me.
00:21:13.37\00:21:15.91
I would like you to
meet, Micah and Joy. Hi, Micah
00:21:16.23\00:21:18.63
and Joy. Hi, Ms. Brenda.
Well, it's so good to have
00:21:18.68\00:21:21.11
you with us today
and let me ask you this.
00:21:21.21\00:21:23.05
Where are you
from? Toomsboro, Georgia.
00:21:23.18\00:21:24.97
You're from Georgia.
Well, I know that you love
00:21:25.19\00:21:27.25
Jesus very much and
before you tell me what
00:21:27.45\00:21:29.50
you do to share
Jesus, we have someone on the
00:21:29.64\00:21:30.61
phone and I think
Cindy is on the phone.
00:21:31.94\00:21:33.90
Hi, Cindy. Hi, Ms.
Brenda. Hi, honey it's so good
00:21:34.09\00:21:36.74
to talk to you. Where
are you from? I'm from
00:21:36.86\00:21:39.27
Aspen, California. From
California and you know,
00:21:39.79\00:21:42.15
Ms. Brenda used to live
in California years ago and
00:21:42.34\00:21:44.61
I loved it out there.
Let me ask you this Cindy,
00:21:44.77\00:21:47.32
what do you do out
there in California to share
00:21:47.50\00:21:49.71
Jesus? I read people
stories and I tell them that
00:21:49.80\00:21:53.96
God loves them and
that we need the world and
00:21:54.85\00:21:57.61
that he loves them.
That's important, you know,
00:21:57.96\00:22:00.15
it's important
everywhere we go whether it's
00:22:00.21\00:22:01.78
somebody in our
own family it might be,
00:22:01.87\00:22:04.13
you know, your friends
at school or it might be
00:22:04.31\00:22:06.69
you know, the
strangers that you meet in the
00:22:06.91\00:22:08.98
grocery store,
wherever you go, don't ever be
00:22:09.08\00:22:10.96
ashamed to share Jesus
alright, okay. Alright Cindy,
00:22:11.05\00:22:14.82

us and keep sharing Jesus,
00:22:14.93\00:22:17.16

00:22:17.32\00:22:19.94

everywhere God puts us.
So, you travel all over.
00:23:04.35\00:23:07.66
Do you sing in churches
or do you sing in people's
00:23:08.04\00:23:10.38

homes where do you go?
00:23:10.59\00:23:12.84
Anywhere, anywhere
that God send us, mostly
00:23:13.14\00:23:15.15
churches. And do you
travel a lot doing this?
00:23:15.31\00:23:18.16
Yes, Ma'am. How many
times do you think you
00:23:18.40\00:23:20.29
sing in a year? Well
lover 100 times. Really,
00:23:20.40\00:23:26.16
yes Ma'am. Wow!
That's wonderful and have you
00:23:26.69\00:23:28.11
had any good
experiences from your singing?
00:23:28.34\00:23:30.12
Yes, Ma'am. What, tell
me about it? We were up,
00:23:30.15\00:23:32.99
I was up in Atlanta
because of Hurricane Francis
00:23:33.12\00:23:35.62
and I was shooting
basketball with my friend
00:23:35.77\00:23:37.58
and my friend was, we
were shooting basketball
00:23:38.18\00:23:40.60
and next door neighbor
came over. And, I asked to
00:23:40.73\00:23:43.44
him, I said did you go
to church dude and he said,
00:23:43.47\00:23:44.84
no I don't go to
church. And I said, I said,
00:23:44.92\00:23:47.28
I said why don't you go
to church? Because I don't
00:23:47.51\00:23:49.33
know he says. So, then
I had a door to open up
00:23:49.36\00:23:51.52
the plan of salvation
where then I showed him how
00:23:51.77\00:23:54.65
to be saved with
the Ten Commandments.
00:23:54.81\00:23:56.49
That's fantastic, isn't
that incredible boys and girls?
00:23:56.92\00:23:59.60
I tell you what I hope
all of you are willing as
00:24:00.01\00:24:02.60
Micah is to just share
Jesus and he just shares
00:24:02.77\00:24:05.16
the plan of salvation
because Jesus died on the
00:24:05.19\00:24:07.34
cross for every
single one of us, didn't he?
00:24:07.49\00:24:09.94
And that is wonderful,
I appreciate it, have you
00:24:10.50\00:24:12.23
had any special experiences
Joy? I have, it's fun,
00:24:12.35\00:24:14.96
it's been fun in
traveling around. And where not
00:24:15.09\00:24:17.24
many places as when we
go out to eat, we get a
00:24:17.49\00:24:19.84
chance to sing in the
restaurants because people
00:24:20.06\00:24:22.46
ask us if we're choir
and that gives us a chance
00:24:22.53\00:24:26.05
to share Jesus with
everybody, we sing a song
00:24:26.08\00:24:28.00
then we give them a
CD. Oh! That's wonderful
00:24:28.45\00:24:30.96
and you just give out
your CD's, you don't sell
00:24:31.05\00:24:33.22
them, we don't sell them.
You don't sell any of your
00:24:33.25\00:24:34.65
CD's, you just give them
out free. So, what happens
00:24:34.76\00:24:37.14
if you get lots of
letters from this program saying
00:24:37.32\00:24:39.35
they wanna CD. We just
send it to, we just send as
00:24:39.38\00:24:41.95
many as they need.
You would, so I could just
00:24:41.98\00:24:44.01
give them, I could just
give the addresses to you
00:24:44.16\00:24:46.30
and you'd take care of
it. Yes, ma'am. Well, that's a
00:24:46.47\00:24:48.70
big praise the Lord,
isn't it? So, if you wanna CD of
00:24:48.98\00:24:51.39
their, you just write
to Ms. Brenda and I'll make
00:24:51.43\00:24:53.13
sure that they get it,
okay. Well, that's wonderful.
00:24:53.16\00:24:55.92
Would you like to
help me read some letters?
00:24:56.23\00:24:57.65
