It's very interesting
tonight that normally
00:01:01.38\00:01:04.15
we do these live programs.
00:01:04.18\00:01:06.75
We go to churches and do rallies
00:01:06.78\00:01:08.89
in Seventh-day
Adventist churches.
00:01:08.92\00:01:11.51
But we're not in a
Seventh-day Adventist church
00:01:11.54\00:01:13.64
tonight, are we?
00:01:13.67\00:01:15.04
So we're gonna have to
find out in just a few moments,
00:01:15.07\00:01:17.75
what church we're in.
00:01:17.78\00:01:19.15
And find out a
little bit about the pastor,
00:01:19.18\00:01:20.97
about his background.
00:01:21.00\00:01:22.37
And why we came to
this particular church?
00:01:22.40\00:01:24.31
I think you'll be very
interested to find out.
00:01:24.34\00:01:27.15
I just want to thank the
Lord again for His blessings,
00:01:27.18\00:01:29.62
for His love, for His
great plan of salvation.
00:01:29.65\00:01:32.71
And ever since that I
gave my heart to Jesus,
00:01:32.74\00:01:35.19
I found a deep peace
that I had never known
00:01:35.22\00:01:38.63
something that this
world could not afford.
00:01:38.66\00:01:41.26
Since I yielded
control to my body and soul,
00:01:41.29\00:01:44.63
to my wonderful, wonderful Lord.
00:01:44.66\00:01:46.17
I'd like to sing
that for you at this time.
00:01:46.20\00:01:48.15
It's an old song.
00:01:48.18\00:01:49.55
Some of you may
know it, if you do,
00:01:49.58\00:01:50.95
feel free to hum
it or sing it with us.
00:01:50.98\00:01:53.15
Entitled, "My wonderful Lord."
00:01:53.18\00:01:55.58
I have found a deep
peace that I never had known
00:02:06.54\00:02:14.35
And a joy this
world could not afford
00:02:14.38\00:02:22.03
Since I yielded
control of my body and soul
00:02:22.06\00:02:29.63
To my wonderful, wonderful Lord
00:02:29.66\00:02:37.39
My wonderful
Lord, my wonderful Lord
00:02:37.42\00:02:45.39
By angels and
seraphs in Heaven adored
00:02:45.42\00:02:53.39
I bow at Thy
shrine Oh, Savior divine
00:02:53.42\00:03:01.39
My wonderful, wonderful Lord
00:03:01.42\00:03:09.39
All the talents I
have, I have laid at Thy Feet
00:03:09.42\00:03:17.39
Thy approval shall be my reward
00:03:17.42\00:03:25.39
Be my store great or
small, I surrender it all
00:03:25.42\00:03:33.39
To my wonderful,
my wonderful Lord
00:03:33.42\00:03:41.39
My wonderful
Lord, my wonderful Lord
00:03:41.42\00:03:49.39
By angels and
seraphs in Heaven adored
00:03:49.42\00:03:57.39
I bow at Thy
shrine Oh, Savior divine
00:03:57.42\00:04:05.39
My wonderful, wonderful Lord
00:04:05.42\00:04:13.39
Thou art fairer to me
than the fairest of earth
00:04:13.42\00:04:21.39
Thou
omnipotent, life-giving Word
00:04:26.87\00:04:34.72
O thou Ancient of Days
00:04:34.75\00:04:39.12
Thou art worthy all praise
00:04:39.15\00:04:42.66
My wonderful, my wonderful Lord
00:04:42.69\00:04:50.49
My wonderful
Lord, my wonderful Lord
00:04:50.52\00:04:58.49
By angels and
seraphs in Heaven adored
00:04:58.52\00:05:06.49
I bow at Thy
shrine Oh, Savior divine
00:05:06.52\00:05:14.49
My wonderful, wonderful Lord
00:05:14.52\00:05:21.42
My wonderful, wonderful Lord
00:05:27.66\00:05:32.63
I really like the second verses,
00:05:39.76\00:05:41.30
it says, "All
the talents I have,
00:05:41.33\00:05:43.07
I have laid at Thy Feet,
Thy approval shall be my reward.
00:05:43.10\00:05:47.32
Be my store great or
small, I surrender it all
00:05:47.35\00:05:51.62
to my
wonderful, wonderful Lord."
00:05:51.65\00:05:53.72
Once again, thank
you for joining us
00:05:53.75\00:05:55.28
from around the world.
00:05:55.31\00:05:56.68
Thank you for your
love and your prayers
00:05:56.71\00:05:58.08
and financial support
00:05:58.11\00:05:59.48
of Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:05:59.51\00:06:01.20
As we endeavor
literally to be a part
00:06:01.23\00:06:03.77
of taking the
gospel into all the world.
00:06:03.80\00:06:06.27
Now 3ABN, we can get
the signal up, folks.
00:06:06.30\00:06:09.16
We proven to have
with God's blessings,
00:06:09.19\00:06:10.99
we can get it up
to all the satellites.
00:06:11.02\00:06:12.63
We can get it
down into the homes.
00:06:12.66\00:06:14.82
And the Holy Spirit
can impress the people,
00:06:14.85\00:06:17.03
but when people come to
churches they need to be, what?
00:06:17.06\00:06:19.76
Loved. They need to
be loved by you, right?
00:06:19.79\00:06:22.80
So 3ABN or any other
media tool is not a replacement
00:06:22.83\00:06:27.24
for you going out and sharing
the gospel to the world, right?
00:06:27.27\00:06:30.93
It's good to
support this ministry
00:06:30.96\00:06:32.64
and we'll support
you, but God has called
00:06:32.67\00:06:34.78
each and every one of us for--
00:06:34.81\00:06:37.34
I believe for
this particular time
00:06:37.37\00:06:39.99
in the closing
moments of earth's history.
00:06:40.02\00:06:42.16
And I believe that as
we get nearer and nearer
00:06:42.19\00:06:44.91
to the end of time,
God has a lot of people
00:06:44.94\00:06:47.82
as we always say
not of this fold.
00:06:47.85\00:06:50.19
People who are willing to submit
and commit their lives to God
00:06:50.22\00:06:54.02
at whatever the cost and
do what He's asking us to do.
00:06:54.05\00:06:57.00
I believe as we get down
00:06:57.03\00:06:58.40
to the closing
moments of earth's history
00:06:58.43\00:07:00.31
and as the
Three Angles' Messages
00:07:00.34\00:07:01.97
begins to go to the world,
00:07:02.00\00:07:03.37
there's gonna
be a great shaking.
00:07:03.40\00:07:04.97
People that were in the
church, maybe gonna leave
00:07:05.00\00:07:07.76
and people that
have never been in church
00:07:07.79\00:07:10.00
are suddenly
joining and coming in
00:07:10.03\00:07:12.19
and surrendering
their lives to God.
00:07:12.22\00:07:14.21
And I believe
we're already there,
00:07:14.24\00:07:15.64
I'm seeing a great shaking now.
00:07:15.67\00:07:17.39
And I'm sure--
did any of you know
00:07:17.42\00:07:18.84
what I'm talking about?
00:07:18.87\00:07:20.36
I believe there's a
great dividing going on between
00:07:20.39\00:07:23.23
those that are servants
of God, the Most High God
00:07:23.26\00:07:26.27
and those who are
gonna choose to serve self.
00:07:26.30\00:07:28.81
And so I believe that right
now it's the most exciting time
00:07:28.84\00:07:32.37
to live in earth's history
because we get the privilege
00:07:32.40\00:07:35.24
of meeting people coming
to God from all walks of life.
00:07:35.27\00:07:38.51
People who are Christians,
who are accepting new life,
00:07:38.54\00:07:41.38
some people who were
never Christians at all.
00:07:41.41\00:07:44.14
And in fact, this
week my wife, Brandy,
00:07:44.17\00:07:46.61
she's down in
Florida visiting her mother.
00:07:46.64\00:07:49.87
And she told me, she
stopped at a restaurant,
00:07:49.90\00:07:51.59
going through a drive through.
00:07:51.62\00:07:53.28
And she had a
3ABN, actually a shirt.
00:07:53.31\00:07:55.50
I did this, I wear the
hat, she wears the shirts.
00:07:55.53\00:07:58.46
Had a 3ABN shirt and she said,
00:07:58.49\00:08:00.93
"3ABN, do you-- do
you know about 3ABN?"
00:08:00.96\00:08:04.78
And she said, "Well, yes,
I know something about 3ABN."
00:08:04.81\00:08:07.99
And she said, "3ABN
has changed my life.
00:08:08.02\00:08:10.88
Thanks to 3ABN,
I'm now a Christian.
00:08:10.91\00:08:13.40
In fact, I've just joined
the Seventh-day Adventist church
00:08:13.43\00:08:16.40
from watching 3ABN in Sarasota."
00:08:16.43\00:08:18.76
We have a little
downlink station.
00:08:18.79\00:08:20.58
And since we see
this all around the world
00:08:20.61\00:08:22.91
people as they're seeing
new light are coming to that.
00:08:22.94\00:08:26.74
Once again we're here
in Huntsville, Alabama.
00:08:26.91\00:08:29.13
And I'm gonna ask our friend,
a fairly new friend of ours,
00:08:29.16\00:08:32.52
Pastor Reggie
Whiddon and his wife Cathy,
00:08:32.55\00:08:34.61
if they would come up right now.
00:08:34.64\00:08:36.39
And probably they
should be introducing me
00:08:36.42\00:08:39.38
since this is
their church. And--
00:08:39.46\00:08:43.58
Hello everybody,
this is Danny Shelton.
00:08:43.61\00:08:45.58
Thank you. Thank
you, I appreciate that.
00:08:45.61\00:08:48.27
And Reggie, thanks for
letting us come to your church.
00:08:48.30\00:08:51.25
You know, it's such an honor to
have you and the 3ABN team here.
00:08:51.28\00:08:54.71
We're just honored and
blessed that you are here.
00:08:54.74\00:08:57.09
We see that you
have a great thing going.
00:08:57.12\00:08:59.95
I understand you have a
wonderful church school.
00:08:59.98\00:09:02.01
And something to me
that's very important,
00:09:02.04\00:09:04.13
for any church is to
have a church school.
00:09:04.16\00:09:06.85
Tell us a little bit
about your church school?
00:09:06.88\00:09:08.43
Well, our church
school is 14 years old.
00:09:08.46\00:09:10.60
Matter of fact,
we're in the gymnasium now.
00:09:10.63\00:09:13.72
We never had a
service like this in this gym.
00:09:13.75\00:09:16.27
We have a lot of
hopping and hovering for this,
00:09:16.30\00:09:18.35
for basketball games. All right.
00:09:18.38\00:09:20.25
And so I'd love to do this
where we're giving God honor
00:09:20.28\00:09:22.92
through His word like this.
00:09:22.95\00:09:24.38
But our church
school is a 14 years old.
00:09:24.41\00:09:27.29
We started in 1993.
Started at--in our living room.
00:09:27.32\00:09:31.88
We had five children at
that time they were school age.
00:09:31.91\00:09:34.68
We were home
schooling them around the table.
00:09:34.71\00:09:37.28
And one day the Lord spoke to me
00:09:37.31\00:09:38.68
and told me to
open a Christian school
00:09:38.71\00:09:41.10
that would be
available to anybody
00:09:41.13\00:09:43.48
that wanted to come
within the community.
00:09:43.51\00:09:45.84
And I was in the Colorado
Springs doing a crusade,
00:09:45.87\00:09:48.81
an evangelistic crusade,
driving down the road, Danny.
00:09:48.84\00:09:52.31
And the Holy Spirit
just spoke to me so clearly
00:09:52.34\00:09:55.10
and showed me what I was to do.
00:09:55.13\00:09:56.81
I had no money. I
had no money to start.
00:09:56.84\00:09:59.63
I pulled off the
road, went to a cell phone
00:09:59.66\00:10:02.04
or to a payphone,
called my wife and told her
00:10:02.07\00:10:03.70
what the Lord had
spoken to me about doing.
00:10:03.73\00:10:05.43
She said, "Well, let's do it."
00:10:05.46\00:10:07.16
And I said, "Well,
since we have some money."
00:10:07.19\00:10:08.88
So I came home, we
just started praying
00:10:08.91\00:10:10.71
and doing this
thing around our table.
00:10:10.74\00:10:13.25
There was a lady 84-years-old
00:10:13.28\00:10:14.74
that I've met in
Florida years ago.
00:10:14.77\00:10:16.98
She came up to visit with us.
00:10:17.01\00:10:18.64
We were having
dinner at our table.
00:10:18.67\00:10:20.71
And she asked me,
"Reggie, what do you--
00:10:20.74\00:10:22.52
what is the Lord
telling you to do?"
00:10:22.55\00:10:24.35
I said, "Well,
the Lord's telling me
00:10:24.38\00:10:25.75
to start a Christian school."
00:10:25.78\00:10:27.15
She said, "Why don't you do it?"
00:10:27.18\00:10:29.06
And I said, "Well, I will
as soon as I have the funds."
00:10:29.09\00:10:32.08
She said, "Well,
how much does it take?"
00:10:32.11\00:10:33.98
I didn't know.
00:10:34.01\00:10:35.38
So I said, "Well, probably
$10,000 would get me started."
00:10:35.41\00:10:39.61
And she excused
herself from the table,
00:10:39.64\00:10:42.29
I thought she was
going to the restroom,
00:10:42.32\00:10:43.89
but she went
back to the guestroom
00:10:43.92\00:10:45.60
and she brought out a check
for $10,000 and handed it to me.
00:10:45.63\00:10:48.72
Praise the Lord. Yeah.
00:10:48.75\00:10:50.12
Danny, I wish I'd
have said it cost $20,000.
00:10:50.15\00:10:53.45
Well, you live and learn.
00:10:53.48\00:10:54.85
We live and
learn. We live and learn.
00:10:54.88\00:10:56.25
Next time, next time you
know, but I have a feeling
00:10:56.28\00:10:57.71
that you have learned that
10,000 just did get started,
00:10:57.74\00:11:00.39
that's what you said.
00:11:00.42\00:11:01.79
It bought a computer. Yeah.
00:11:01.82\00:11:04.31
Bought a
computer. Yeah, all right.
00:11:04.34\00:11:06.10
So the church
school and of course,
00:11:06.13\00:11:07.94
you have a church here.
00:11:07.97\00:11:09.34
But in the church school,
00:11:09.37\00:11:10.74
you've nurture that,
it continues to grow.
00:11:10.77\00:11:12.14
How many young
people do you have here?
00:11:12.17\00:11:13.54
Oh, it will range
between 120 and 130.
00:11:13.57\00:11:16.61
And we're pretty
packed out this year.
00:11:16.64\00:11:18.47
And what ages? What ages?
00:11:18.50\00:11:19.94
Kindergarten, 4 year olds,
00:11:19.97\00:11:21.34
all the way through
seniors in high school.
00:11:21.37\00:11:22.83
Is that right? Yes.
00:11:22.86\00:11:24.23
Yes. Well,
that's really wonderful.
00:11:24.26\00:11:25.63
And right here, now are you
originally from Huntsville area?
00:11:25.66\00:11:27.56
No. I'm originally
from Mobile, Alabama.
00:11:27.59\00:11:29.66
Mobile, all right.
00:11:29.69\00:11:31.06
We call that LA, Lower Alabama.
I'm originally from Illinois.
00:11:31.09\00:11:35.88
Cathy is from Illinois? Yeah.
00:11:35.91\00:11:37.57
Really? All right.
00:11:37.60\00:11:39.03
What part? Joliet.
00:11:39.06\00:11:40.49
Joliet, oh, you are way
up in the upper Chicago, huh.
00:11:40.52\00:11:43.97
That's right. Well, how long--
00:11:44.00\00:11:45.37
This is suburb of
Chicago now. Yeah, that's right.
00:11:45.40\00:11:47.68
How long have you been here?
00:11:47.71\00:11:49.49
Well, I've been in
Alabama for 38 years.
00:11:49.52\00:11:52.07
38 years? All right.
00:11:52.10\00:11:54.32
Well, you guys been
married then for how long?
00:11:54.35\00:11:56.87
How long have we
been married? March 4th--
00:11:56.90\00:11:58.27
You shouldn't--you
don't ask that question to--?
00:11:58.30\00:11:59.95
Yeah, so do you.
00:11:59.98\00:12:01.35
Probably
shouldn't no better ask her.
00:12:01.38\00:12:02.82
I know, I'm just asking
her. You're supposed to.
00:12:02.85\00:12:04.22
Oh, okay, all right. On
March 4th, it will be 19.
00:12:04.25\00:12:06.82
19 years? 19 years.
00:12:06.85\00:12:08.22
All right, great.
Did you got children?
00:12:08.25\00:12:09.93
We do. We have five.
00:12:09.96\00:12:11.33
Five of them? Five children.
00:12:11.36\00:12:13.03
They all are
grown, we got grandkids.
00:12:13.06\00:12:15.59
Grandkids coming to the
school. Nothing like them.
00:12:15.62\00:12:17.50
That's it.
Nothing like grandkids.
00:12:17.53\00:12:18.90
Somebody said if I known
00:12:18.93\00:12:20.30
they're so much
fun, I'd had them first.
00:12:20.33\00:12:21.70
That's right.
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:12:21.73\00:12:23.28
I said that once but my
daughter got a little offended,
00:12:23.31\00:12:25.64
so I decided, I
better not say that anymore.
00:12:25.67\00:12:29.23
She was a joy too. Absolutely.
00:12:29.26\00:12:30.63
You know, Melody, of course.
00:12:30.66\00:12:32.20
And we want to talk about it.
00:12:32.23\00:12:33.60
I want to take the
folks back just a little bit.
00:12:33.63\00:12:35.61
Hey, I'm glad to see a lot
of-- are you folks from Oakwood?
00:12:35.64\00:12:37.79
Some of you--
some of you young folks
00:12:37.82\00:12:39.25
from Oakwood coming
in here. They're welcome.
00:12:39.28\00:12:40.89
All right from the
college and academies, whatever.
00:12:40.92\00:12:43.25
Thank you all for coming.
00:12:43.28\00:12:44.65
I don't know if I see some
nap shirt over there or what?
00:12:44.68\00:12:46.98
I always gonna see
young people from Oakwood,
00:12:47.01\00:12:48.83
I think they're all
with naps, you know.
00:12:48.86\00:12:50.76
And 'cause they come up to
3ABN, we have a great time.
00:12:50.79\00:12:53.72
But we're glad that
you all have come here
00:12:53.75\00:12:55.47
to join us tonight too.
00:12:55.50\00:12:57.30
And so I want to--
we're gonna jump up
00:12:57.33\00:13:00.40
a few more years to
just a year or so ago.
00:13:00.43\00:13:03.39
Last year, we had heard
that there was going to be
00:13:03.42\00:13:07.97
what was called a
Ten Commandments day.
00:13:08.00\00:13:09.95
A lot of the
evangelicals around the country
00:13:09.98\00:13:12.69
were getting
together and they were gonna
00:13:12.72\00:13:15.02
try to go to Washington D.C.,
00:13:15.05\00:13:16.45
and it really
didn't work out for them.
00:13:16.48\00:13:18.54
This year, they
may do in some area
00:13:18.57\00:13:21.36
and they wanted to draw
something like 100,000 people,
00:13:21.39\00:13:24.16
but they put a webpage talking
00:13:24.19\00:13:25.76
about the
eternal moral law of God.
00:13:25.79\00:13:28.07
And they feel like, it's
time that Christians in America
00:13:28.10\00:13:30.83
support the Ten Commandments.
00:13:30.86\00:13:32.60
Well, the Seventh-day
Adventist Christians,
00:13:32.63\00:13:34.12
some of you out here
00:13:34.15\00:13:35.52
are Seventh-day
Adventist Christians,
00:13:35.55\00:13:36.92
what do we say to that?
00:13:36.95\00:13:38.32
We agree, right?
00:13:38.35\00:13:39.72
We agree that
anybody that's saying
00:13:39.75\00:13:41.12
that God's Ten Commandments
are his eternal moral law
00:13:41.15\00:13:44.38
that we should be
supportive of that.
00:13:44.41\00:13:46.43
And so we said, "Well, you know,
maybe we need to do something.
00:13:46.46\00:13:49.59
Maybe we should go a little
early out to Washington D.C.,
00:13:49.62\00:13:53.04
try to rent a hall that would
hold a few thousand people."
00:13:53.07\00:13:55.69
You can line up a
bunch of speakers and we did.
00:13:55.72\00:13:58.40
God blessed us with
some incredible speakers.
00:13:58.43\00:14:01.15
But Shelly Quinn and I
had put together a book.
00:14:01.18\00:14:04.15
In fact that we actually put
a book together in late 2004,
00:14:04.18\00:14:08.82
that called "The
Antichrist Agenda"
00:14:08.85\00:14:11.38
And it's about 200 page book.
00:14:11.41\00:14:13.82
And so the
publishers, Remnant Publications
00:14:13.85\00:14:16.47
up in Michigan called me some,
00:14:16.50\00:14:19.33
oh, must have been, I
don't know if it's year later,
00:14:19.36\00:14:21.21
several months later.
00:14:21.24\00:14:22.64
And we had 100,000 printed
up and had moved all of those.
00:14:22.67\00:14:26.46
And he said, I've been
talking to Walmart actually.
00:14:26.49\00:14:30.35
He said, I've
been talking to Walmart
00:14:30.38\00:14:32.09
and we're
trying to get this book
00:14:32.12\00:14:33.82
into some of
these other outlets.
00:14:33.85\00:14:35.82
But 200 pages is a
little bit big for that,
00:14:35.85\00:14:39.13
could you condense this
book to maybe 126 or 128 pages?
00:14:39.16\00:14:43.69
Well, I originally thought
about writing a book called
00:14:43.72\00:14:46.54
"The Ten
Commandments Twice Removed."
00:14:46.57\00:14:48.23
But with Shelley and me
joining together, we decided,
00:14:48.26\00:14:51.33
"Well, let's put
together in "Antichrist Agenda."
00:14:51.36\00:14:53.99
So we condensed the book down,
came up with this little book
00:14:54.02\00:14:57.92
and "The Ten
Commandments Twice Removed."
00:14:57.95\00:15:00.19
So we took out a
few other chapters
00:15:00.22\00:15:01.99
that we felt we
could afford to do so.
00:15:02.02\00:15:04.12
So he said to me, "Well, how
many would you to print it up?"
00:15:04.15\00:15:06.71
And I said, "I don't have a
market for a book like this.
00:15:06.74\00:15:09.82
So it really depends how
many of any of the retail stores
00:15:09.85\00:15:12.93
want to buy it,
we'll just do that."
00:15:12.96\00:15:14.57
Well, after--
wasn't long after that till
00:15:14.60\00:15:17.37
we heard about this
Ten Commandments weekend
00:15:17.40\00:15:19.43
and we said well,
you know what better book
00:15:19.46\00:15:21.60
this was already
been printed, ready to go.
00:15:21.63\00:15:24.18
So we begin to offer it on 3ABN
00:15:24.21\00:15:27.18
for folks that would be
willing to promote this book.
00:15:27.21\00:15:30.90
And people begin to call
in, not 100,000 or 200,000.
00:15:30.93\00:15:35.13
I told the printer I said,
00:15:35.16\00:15:36.53
"Well, let see if we
can maybe move 100,000,
00:15:36.56\00:15:39.54
plan on printing 100,000."
00:15:39.57\00:15:41.07
Well, if some of you know
it, it went 100,000, 200,000,
00:15:41.10\00:15:44.22
soon it went to half
a million to million.
00:15:44.25\00:15:46.78
And before it was over it
was almost 5 million books
00:15:46.81\00:15:50.20
that people ordered and passed
out all across this nation
00:15:50.23\00:15:54.67
and around the world.
00:15:54.70\00:15:56.07
People were starting to get
the book quickly and saying,
00:15:56.10\00:15:58.33
can we print it in Spanish?
00:15:58.36\00:15:59.94
Can we print it-- and
they printed it in Russian.
00:15:59.97\00:16:02.52
They printed it in
number of different languages.
00:16:02.55\00:16:05.39
And so not only
here in North America
00:16:05.42\00:16:07.82
were people distributing
these books all over,
00:16:07.85\00:16:11.49
but literally around the world.
00:16:11.52\00:16:13.38
But I want you to
take the story from there,
00:16:13.41\00:16:15.61
your mind and your
own business, right?
00:16:15.64\00:16:17.65
You're running a church
school, pastor in the church.
00:16:17.68\00:16:20.36
I'm just trying
to be a nice guy.
00:16:20.39\00:16:21.79
Yeah. Right.
00:16:21.82\00:16:23.19
Get along with
people, serve the Lord.
00:16:23.22\00:16:24.59
Yes. Just doing all I could do.
00:16:24.62\00:16:25.99
But some--one day something
happens, somebody came by.
00:16:26.02\00:16:28.28
One day, one of the
parents of our students
00:16:28.31\00:16:31.24
in our school came by
and handed me this book.
00:16:31.27\00:16:35.49
This is the copy
that he gave to me.
00:16:35.52\00:16:37.97
And he said,
"Reggie, I respect you."
00:16:38.00\00:16:40.17
Matter of fact that
person is here tonight.
00:16:40.20\00:16:42.91
That person is here tonight.
00:16:42.94\00:16:44.48
Is he or she? He.
00:16:44.51\00:16:45.99
He. We may have to--
00:16:46.02\00:16:47.39
Yeah, he's here. If you
say we may bring him up.
00:16:47.42\00:16:48.79
He's right behind me. Oh, yes.
00:16:48.82\00:16:50.19
He's right behind there.
Oh, well, we'll bring him up.
00:16:50.22\00:16:51.67
And he can come
up. We'll bring him up.
00:16:51.70\00:16:53.07
But he handed me this
book and he said to me--
00:16:53.10\00:16:54.83
Let's bring him up
now then. All right.
00:16:54.86\00:16:57.29
All right. Hey, Guy.
00:16:57.32\00:17:01.14
Give us your name, please?
00:17:01.17\00:17:02.54
Guy. Guy Juzang.
00:17:02.57\00:17:03.94
Okay, Guy Juzang, tell you what,
00:17:03.97\00:17:05.48
stand right over here
on the other side of Cathy.
00:17:05.51\00:17:09.11
And so now you
had one of these books
00:17:09.14\00:17:12.56
and you decided to bring
it and give it to this pastor.
00:17:12.59\00:17:16.32
Why?
00:17:16.35\00:17:18.56
Well, frankly I'd watched
Pastor Reggie for sometime.
00:17:18.59\00:17:23.43
And he has a
sincere walk with the Lord.
00:17:23.46\00:17:29.40
And I just felt
like he would be a nice
00:17:29.43\00:17:31.28
Seventh-day Adventist Christian.
00:17:31.31\00:17:32.72
All right. Well,
that's all right.
00:17:37.07\00:17:38.69
He was probably
eying you thinking
00:17:38.72\00:17:40.16
he'd make a nice, right? Yes.
00:17:40.19\00:17:42.87
Non-denominational,
what--I didn't ask you
00:17:42.90\00:17:44.52
is that was you
church is non-denominational?
00:17:44.55\00:17:46.17
That's right,
non-denominational.
00:17:46.20\00:17:47.57
Thank you, boy,
he'd make a nice non--
00:17:47.60\00:17:48.97
Yeah. That's right.
00:17:49.00\00:17:50.37
You know, we kind of
eyeball each other like that.
00:17:50.40\00:17:51.77
You know, as Christians,
hi, how are you doing?
00:17:51.80\00:17:54.99
when I'd see my
friend I'd always think,
00:17:55.02\00:17:56.55
"Man, he would
make a great Adventist."
00:17:56.58\00:17:58.45
And he's like,
00:17:58.48\00:17:59.85
"Boy, if I could just get
Danny speaking in tongues.
00:17:59.88\00:18:02.13
I could really he
would really be a great
00:18:02.16\00:18:04.64
you know do great
in charismatic church.
00:18:04.67\00:18:07.07
So we--for years we've eyed each
other over like this, you know.
00:18:07.10\00:18:10.18
So here Guy is kind of
eyeing you over a little bit.
00:18:10.21\00:18:13.73
Is he eying me or--
So he hands you the book.
00:18:13.76\00:18:15.69
He hands me this book
and asks me to read it.
00:18:15.72\00:18:17.86
He said these
words, "I respect you."
00:18:17.89\00:18:20.78
And he said, "I've
believed what's in this book.
00:18:20.81\00:18:22.97
Matter of fact, I'll
base my life on this book."
00:18:23.00\00:18:25.62
He said, "I respect your opinion
and I would like you to read it.
00:18:25.65\00:18:28.71
And when you're finished tell
me what's wrong with this book?"
00:18:28.74\00:18:33.22
Didn't say,
tell you what's right
00:18:33.25\00:18:34.62
or didn't he said
tell me what's wrong with--
00:18:34.65\00:18:36.02
Tell me what's
wrong with the book.
00:18:36.05\00:18:37.42
All right,
that's a good approach.
00:18:37.45\00:18:38.82
And he was setting
me up. Setting me up.
00:18:38.85\00:18:42.32
That's called a set up,
well. That's called a set up.
00:18:42.35\00:18:44.10
He wanted your
critic. He wanted my critic.
00:18:44.13\00:18:46.77
He respected you
which he honestly does.
00:18:46.80\00:18:49.17
So I decided that I would
read it because he asked me.
00:18:49.20\00:18:52.32
And really I
wanted to rescue him.
00:18:52.35\00:18:54.70
Yeah, I want to rescue.
00:18:54.73\00:18:56.10
All right, he
want to rescue him.
00:18:56.13\00:18:57.50
Yeah, I want to rescue you, Guy.
00:18:57.53\00:18:58.90
Well, really I mean
you're thinking here's a guy,
00:18:58.93\00:19:01.74
he's a great guy but
he's probably wasting
00:19:01.77\00:19:04.62
a lot of good Saturdays.
00:19:04.65\00:19:06.02
Wasting a lot of good Saturdays.
That's exactly what I thought.
00:19:06.05\00:19:08.31
Yeah, all right.
00:19:08.34\00:19:09.71
And so I read the book
really out of respect for him.
00:19:09.74\00:19:12.55
And so-- And he doesn't read.
00:19:12.58\00:19:14.40
I--well, I can
read, I just don't do.
00:19:14.43\00:19:16.42
Well, he doesn't--I
mean, he doesn't like to read.
00:19:16.45\00:19:19.46
I can read a little.
00:19:19.49\00:19:20.86
Really? Let's see.
00:19:20.89\00:19:22.26
Let me test you here. Yes.
00:19:22.29\00:19:23.66
Principal of a
school and he can't read.
00:19:23.69\00:19:25.31
Now I guess he can, I hear that
he has, what you have a Ph.D?
00:19:25.34\00:19:28.82
I do.
00:19:28.85\00:19:30.22
He has a Ph.D.
whatever that is--
00:19:30.25\00:19:32.77
That in 50 cents
to buy some coffee.
00:19:32.80\00:19:34.96
Okay, all right. So you decided.
00:19:34.99\00:19:36.77
Now I know you can't, people
send me stuff all the time,
00:19:36.80\00:19:39.12
I just can't ready
everything that people send.
00:19:39.15\00:19:40.94
The title was catchy. Okay.
00:19:40.97\00:19:42.81
The title caught my attention.
00:19:42.84\00:19:44.77
And the fact that
Guy gave me the book.
00:19:44.80\00:19:46.92
Okay. So I read it one time.
00:19:46.95\00:19:49.72
And I was, I was just amazed
at the content of this book,
00:19:49.75\00:19:54.19
the things that I
learned from reading this book,
00:19:54.22\00:19:56.49
things that I've
never heard of before.
00:19:56.52\00:19:58.43
I mean, what's your Ph.D. in?
00:19:58.46\00:19:59.92
Christian
education and theology.
00:19:59.95\00:20:02.61
Theology.
00:20:02.64\00:20:04.01
But there's things in this
book that you've never heard.
00:20:04.04\00:20:06.19
I've never heard. Yeah.
00:20:06.22\00:20:07.59
You read the Bible a
lot, you studied a lot.
00:20:07.62\00:20:09.26
I do. I do.
00:20:09.29\00:20:10.95
Something in here just
seemed to click with you.
00:20:10.98\00:20:13.10
It clicked. Okay.
00:20:13.13\00:20:14.50
So I read it and I
couldn't find anything
00:20:14.53\00:20:16.14
that I could argue with.
00:20:16.17\00:20:17.54
So I read it again,
same thing happened.
00:20:17.57\00:20:20.99
And I--actually I
read it three times
00:20:21.02\00:20:22.97
before that I
gave the book to Cathy.
00:20:23.00\00:20:25.19
Okay. Cathy, he
gives the book to you.
00:20:25.22\00:20:27.62
He says I've read it three
times or did he tell you that?
00:20:27.65\00:20:30.17
Well, I didn't know how
many times he'd read it.
00:20:30.20\00:20:33.09
He just handed
it to me and said,
00:20:33.12\00:20:34.49
"Would you read this
and tell me what you think?"
00:20:34.52\00:20:36.55
I said, "Sure."
00:20:36.58\00:20:37.96
So I read it and
I'd looked at him
00:20:37.99\00:20:39.63
and I said,
"What's the question?
00:20:39.66\00:20:42.22
Why aren't we doing
this?" Oh, have mercy.
00:20:42.25\00:20:44.67
All right. You know,
this is a no-brainer.
00:20:44.70\00:20:46.82
All right. Okay.
00:20:46.85\00:20:48.58
Okay. It's true.
00:20:48.61\00:20:49.98
Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:50.01\00:20:51.38
Sometimes there's a reason
why the Lord gives us good wife.
00:20:51.41\00:20:53.85
That's exactly
right. All right, okay.
00:20:53.88\00:20:56.36
So you read it first time,
00:20:56.39\00:20:58.30
so you get it back
and what do you say?
00:20:58.33\00:21:00.31
I get it back and then
I read it two more times.
00:21:00.34\00:21:03.16
Two more times? Well,
Danny, I'm a slow learner.
00:21:03.19\00:21:05.43
You are slow--
I'm a slow learner.
00:21:05.46\00:21:06.83
You just want to make
sure. I want to make sure.
00:21:06.86\00:21:08.51
He wants to make sure. Okay.
00:21:08.54\00:21:09.91
At the end of the fifth time,
I was embracing this truth.
00:21:09.94\00:21:14.26
Danny, I can't
just tell you something.
00:21:14.29\00:21:15.99
I'll put the book
down. This is your program.
00:21:16.02\00:21:17.39
You got an hour
and four minutes.
00:21:17.42\00:21:18.79
You've got all of that you want.
I want to tell you something.
00:21:18.82\00:21:20.72
There's only been
two times in my life
00:21:20.75\00:21:24.55
that the Lord has spoken to me.
00:21:24.58\00:21:27.51
And the closest
thing to an audible voice
00:21:27.54\00:21:29.94
that I can imagine it be.
00:21:29.97\00:21:31.77
One time was, when
the Lord spoke to me
00:21:31.80\00:21:34.78
about starting this school.
00:21:34.81\00:21:37.02
That was such an
impact in my life.
00:21:37.05\00:21:39.73
I knew that I heard His voice
on that, there was no question.
00:21:39.76\00:21:42.75
The second time
was when I got finished
00:21:42.78\00:21:44.55
with that book the fifth time.
00:21:44.58\00:21:47.83
I--see when we had start--
when we started this church,
00:21:47.86\00:21:51.24
we started this church
as a result of the school.
00:21:51.27\00:21:53.76
We started the
school first as I said.
00:21:53.79\00:21:55.66
And we didn't have-- we
had some parents in our school
00:21:55.69\00:21:59.73
that was really not church.
00:21:59.76\00:22:01.41
So we wanted to find
the way to minister to them.
00:22:01.44\00:22:04.34
So we started
something really small,
00:22:04.37\00:22:06.56
just trying to reach
that group of people.
00:22:06.59\00:22:09.65
I really wasn't
wanting a church to grow.
00:22:09.68\00:22:11.84
I wasn't wanting it to--
00:22:11.87\00:22:13.67
I didn't need
additional responsibilities.
00:22:13.70\00:22:16.51
So I was-- I
was actually praying
00:22:16.54\00:22:18.72
that our church
wouldn't grow, yeah.
00:22:18.75\00:22:21.62
I told many pastors around town,
I said I'm probably the only guy
00:22:21.65\00:22:24.87
that prays the
church doesn't grow.
00:22:24.90\00:22:26.75
I doubt it.
And--yeah, may be not.
00:22:26.78\00:22:29.10
I doubt it.
00:22:29.13\00:22:30.66
I met one, one time, he said,
00:22:30.69\00:22:32.06
he didn't want
his church to grow.
00:22:32.09\00:22:33.46
Yeah. Well, I
didn't want it to grow.
00:22:33.49\00:22:34.86
There's probably two
of you. Yes, two of us.
00:22:34.89\00:22:36.26
I didn't want it to grow
because from the standpoint
00:22:36.29\00:22:39.47
of just
additional responsibility.
00:22:39.50\00:22:42.42
The Lord just sort of did this
to me, so he tapped me on this,
00:22:42.45\00:22:45.94
on the chest
there and said to me,
00:22:45.97\00:22:49.70
"I don't ever
want you to pray that
00:22:49.73\00:22:51.10
because it's not your church."
00:22:51.13\00:22:53.00
Oh, all right,
that's-- That's not your church.
00:22:53.03\00:22:55.05
Yeah, that's big, right there.
00:22:55.08\00:22:56.45
And he said, "I
want it to grow."
00:22:56.48\00:22:58.11
Hmm. Hmm.
00:22:58.14\00:22:59.53
And when I read the
book, embraced the truth
00:22:59.56\00:23:02.75
and I call the
Sabbath, my delight.
00:23:02.78\00:23:04.78
I'm so passionate
about the Sabbath now.
00:23:04.81\00:23:06.82
Wow. I'm passionate about it.
00:23:06.85\00:23:08.97
Amen. I'm passionate about it.
00:23:09.00\00:23:12.76
I'll look forward each
and every Sabbath coming.
00:23:12.79\00:23:16.17
And matter of fact,
we moved our services
00:23:16.20\00:23:17.95
from Sunday
evening to Friday evening,
00:23:17.98\00:23:20.33
the beginning of Sabbath.
00:23:20.36\00:23:21.73
All right.
00:23:21.76\00:23:23.13
We're welcoming the
Sabbath Friday evening.
00:23:23.16\00:23:24.53
That's grace in
that one. It sure it is.
00:23:24.56\00:23:25.93
We welcome it in
with-- we usher it in.
00:23:25.96\00:23:28.74
Maybe some of our
Adventist churches
00:23:28.77\00:23:31.21
ought to be listening to this
00:23:31.24\00:23:32.61
and we should probably
bring a Sabbath then on.
00:23:32.64\00:23:34.64
We begin with a
delicious meal at 6 o'clock
00:23:34.67\00:23:38.45
and then at 7 o'clock, we
start our worship service.
00:23:38.48\00:23:42.64
And our worship service
will go for about an hour,
00:23:42.67\00:23:45.57
hour and twenty, thirty minutes.
00:23:45.60\00:23:47.41
And then after that we
just have fellowship time,
00:23:47.44\00:23:50.14
we call it after glow.
00:23:50.17\00:23:51.54
Many times it's 11:30 or
midnight, before we leave.
00:23:51.57\00:23:54.35
Isn't that wonderful? And
the excitement is just here.
00:23:54.38\00:23:56.88
People started coming, it's not
people that I've asked to come,
00:23:56.91\00:24:00.16
Danny, they just started
hearing about what we were doing
00:24:00.19\00:24:03.47
and about the Sabbath
and they started coming.
00:24:03.50\00:24:07.12
Wait a minute, you mean,
00:24:07.15\00:24:08.52
your church
instead of 'cause sometimes
00:24:08.55\00:24:10.40
when people try
to change the entire,
00:24:10.43\00:24:12.60
get the whole church,
you lose a lot of members.
00:24:12.63\00:24:15.48
Yes.
00:24:15.51\00:24:16.88
You admit your
church is growing.
00:24:16.91\00:24:18.28
It grew. It grew.
00:24:18.31\00:24:19.68
And still growing.
Isn't that amazing?
00:24:19.71\00:24:21.08
Yes, it's just absolutely.
00:24:21.11\00:24:22.48
The life of God
is in this place.
00:24:22.51\00:24:25.08
And it's because
that we obeyed the Sabbath
00:24:25.11\00:24:27.59
and honoring our God.
00:24:27.62\00:24:30.35
Yeah. That's incredible.
00:24:30.38\00:24:31.75
Yes. It's a marvelous truth.
00:24:31.78\00:24:33.18
Guy, what are you
thinking right now?
00:24:33.21\00:24:36.17
Well, I--I'm
really still very humble
00:24:36.20\00:24:39.02
on this whole
development, really.
00:24:39.05\00:24:45.70
I'm just a speck you know,
00:24:45.73\00:24:47.10
a sinner that God
just used to do something
00:24:47.13\00:24:49.44
that just makes me
feel so used, I mean,
00:24:49.47\00:24:55.43
so--and it's a wonderful
thing to be used by God.
00:24:55.46\00:24:58.06
Yes, it is. Amen.
00:24:58.09\00:25:00.27
Allow to see him do something
that you're connected to
00:25:00.30\00:25:06.28
on this magnitude will be
with me the rest of my life.
00:25:06.31\00:25:11.06
So what you're saying is
you don't have to be a preacher.
00:25:11.09\00:25:14.04
You don't have to be a teacher.
00:25:14.07\00:25:15.59
But if you can pick up a book
00:25:15.62\00:25:17.12
whether it's this
one or whether it's,
00:25:17.15\00:25:19.23
you know, "Desire of
ages" or "Steps to Christ"
00:25:19.26\00:25:21.48
and you can hand it to
somebody you never know
00:25:21.51\00:25:23.88
what the results might be.
00:25:23.91\00:25:25.82
And some people say,
"Well, I've done this before
00:25:25.85\00:25:28.05
and it doesn't work."
00:25:28.08\00:25:29.45
And somebody else
said, "Oh, I did this before
00:25:29.48\00:25:31.04
and it just didn't work."
00:25:31.07\00:25:32.44
But that was
before, this is now.
00:25:32.47\00:25:34.78
Say I think that right
now heaven is not heaven
00:25:34.81\00:25:37.88
till God's
people are home, right?
00:25:37.91\00:25:40.03
So I believe that as
we're nearing the end of time,
00:25:40.06\00:25:43.67
that great
portions of the Holy Spirit
00:25:43.70\00:25:46.58
are being poured out.
00:25:46.61\00:25:47.98
Now for us in North
America that's pretty foreign.
00:25:48.01\00:25:50.84
But when you go to
India where I've been
00:25:50.87\00:25:52.63
and see 40,000 Hindus a
night coming in trucks and buses
00:25:52.66\00:25:57.32
and walking just
to hear about Jesus.
00:25:57.35\00:26:00.34
And I'm seeing people
baptized by the thousands,
00:26:00.37\00:26:02.93
15,000, 25,000 people at a time.
00:26:02.96\00:26:05.66
Go to Russia, I've
seen thousands in a day
00:26:05.69\00:26:08.36
coming to Jesus
and being baptized.
00:26:08.39\00:26:10.19
These are people who
never knew about the gospel.
00:26:10.22\00:26:12.89
And we here in America,
00:26:12.92\00:26:14.51
we are so happy
and proud of ourselves,
00:26:14.54\00:26:16.79
'cause we give most of the
money that does all this work.
00:26:16.82\00:26:20.13
But sometimes we--at some
point we got to understand
00:26:20.16\00:26:23.06
that it's not how much
money we give gets work done,
00:26:23.09\00:26:25.58
but God wants our heart.
00:26:25.61\00:26:26.98
Now He may want our
heart and our money, right?
00:26:27.01\00:26:29.35
Well, our heart is
right where the treasure is,
00:26:29.38\00:26:31.08
there's your heart is also.
00:26:31.11\00:26:33.53
And so what I'm seeing
is, is I believe right here
00:26:33.56\00:26:36.73
in North America folks,
00:26:36.76\00:26:38.26
we're seeing more and
more of this happening.
00:26:38.29\00:26:40.39
I want Shelley Quinn to
come up for just a moment.
00:26:40.42\00:26:42.42
I didn't want her this,
00:26:42.45\00:26:44.78
but Shelley is not
too bashful and shy.
00:26:44.81\00:26:47.04
If we can just get
her a microphone here,
00:26:47.07\00:26:48.56
if not you can share
with Guy up here, Shelley.
00:26:48.59\00:26:51.30
But I want to talk
about this for just a moment,
00:26:51.33\00:26:53.79
because I believe right
now, there's never been a time
00:26:53.82\00:26:57.12
in earth's
history where it's easier
00:26:57.15\00:26:59.41
to witness for
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:26:59.44\00:27:01.69
And to share
truths than right now.
00:27:01.72\00:27:03.73
So for those of you who
are discouraged, you'd say,
00:27:03.76\00:27:05.92
well, I just can't do anything.
00:27:05.95\00:27:08.09
I can't witness, I'm not
a talker, I'm not whatever.
00:27:08.12\00:27:11.54
You don't have
to worry about it.
00:27:11.57\00:27:13.22
If you can pick up a
book and you can pass it.
00:27:13.25\00:27:15.93
If you can tell somebody
put on a little 3ABN promos
00:27:15.96\00:27:21.16
or wear it on
your shirt and say,
00:27:21.19\00:27:22.56
"Hey, watch this channel."
00:27:22.59\00:27:24.46
You have a channel down here.
00:27:24.49\00:27:25.86
You can encourage
people to watch it.
00:27:25.89\00:27:27.80
The Holy Spirit what really
does the work, it's not us.
00:27:27.83\00:27:29.77
That's right. We
don't really do it.
00:27:29.80\00:27:31.48
God could do it in spite of
us, but He chooses to bless us.
00:27:31.51\00:27:34.50
We're frail human agents,
00:27:34.53\00:27:35.90
but He allows us to be
blessed for our own good
00:27:35.93\00:27:38.90
so that we quit looking
at ourselves all the time
00:27:38.93\00:27:41.46
and we start looking at others,
00:27:41.49\00:27:43.40
because otherwise
we get selfish, right?
00:27:43.43\00:27:45.72
But what we saw
happening with you
00:27:45.75\00:27:47.67
after the Ten
Commandment weekend
00:27:47.70\00:27:49.45
and literally a
few millions of these.
00:27:49.48\00:27:51.59
Reggie, we begin, we
heard this was a call.
00:27:51.62\00:27:54.24
Well, we hear there's a Sunday
pastor, who's read this book,
00:27:54.27\00:27:57.83
he's really impressed,
he wants to know more,
00:27:57.86\00:27:59.92
he's--whatever,
blah, blah, blah.
00:27:59.95\00:28:02.78
And then all of a
sudden, Shelley's comes to me,
00:28:02.81\00:28:04.82
she goes, there's
another Sunday pastor
00:28:04.85\00:28:07.28
and he's wanting
to do the same thing
00:28:07.31\00:28:09.10
and then
another one, another one
00:28:09.13\00:28:10.50
and how many now like
this of you've told me about?
00:28:10.53\00:28:13.52
20 or 21, I'm
not sure. 20 or 21.
00:28:13.55\00:28:15.75
Praise the Lord. Pastors.
00:28:15.78\00:28:17.88
Now, these are pastors, these
are--we're not talking about
00:28:17.91\00:28:21.04
just individuals,
we're talking about pastors
00:28:21.07\00:28:23.72
and many of them doing
just what Reggie is doing,
00:28:23.75\00:28:26.33
making
transitions into the truth.
00:28:26.36\00:28:28.62
And to me
that's exciting, folks.
00:28:28.65\00:28:30.18
I don't care where
it is around the world.
00:28:30.21\00:28:32.19
But I mean, we've seen
the whole congregations coming
00:28:32.22\00:28:35.26
in other places
around the world.
00:28:35.29\00:28:36.87
But I believe God wants to do it
00:28:36.90\00:28:38.27
right here in
America, don't you?
00:28:38.30\00:28:40.16
And I believe
that He is doing it,
00:28:40.19\00:28:42.06
but we need to be
ready in to do our part.
00:28:42.09\00:28:44.42
So Shelley,
you've been, you know,
00:28:44.45\00:28:47.88
an incredible asset to 3ABN.
00:28:47.91\00:28:50.39
You and your husband JD,
00:28:50.42\00:28:51.79
who is out here with
you also in pastoral.
00:28:51.82\00:28:53.88
And Shelley herself--I don't
know if you guys know that.
00:28:53.91\00:28:56.59
But Shelley was a
product of a evangelical world.
00:28:56.62\00:29:01.72
And she began to study,
but then she made the mistake,
00:29:01.75\00:29:04.91
if we call like that--
if you want to stay there,
00:29:04.94\00:29:07.41
she made a mistake of
watching 3ABN herself.
00:29:07.44\00:29:09.76
Shelley, tell us about it?
00:29:09.79\00:29:11.52
Well, actually you know
00:29:11.55\00:29:13.23
when I first came to fulltime
ministry in January of 2000.
00:29:13.26\00:29:16.54
The first thing the Lord me was
to forget what I thought I know.
00:29:16.57\00:29:20.08
Sit, come sit at His
feet and He will teach me.
00:29:20.11\00:29:23.04
And it was God who led me
00:29:23.07\00:29:25.21
on a study of the
tabernacle first the temple.
00:29:25.24\00:29:30.52
Then He led me on a
study of the commandments
00:29:30.55\00:29:32.79
and the Lord proved to me
00:29:32.82\00:29:35.07
that the Ten
Commandments were eternal.
00:29:35.10\00:29:36.87
He proved to me that the Sabbath
00:29:36.90\00:29:39.73
was one of the
most beautiful gifts
00:29:39.76\00:29:41.59
that we could receive from Him.
00:29:41.62\00:29:44.10
And my favorite Sabbath
scripture is Exodus 31:13,
00:29:44.13\00:29:48.28
because that
scripture says that,
00:29:48.31\00:29:50.80
the Sabbath is
a memorial of God,
00:29:50.83\00:29:54.06
recognizing God as
the one who sanctifies us.
00:29:54.09\00:29:57.56
And I was sharing
with, who's the third person
00:29:57.59\00:30:00.35
that read this book?
00:30:00.38\00:30:01.75
Jarian? No, what's the--
00:30:01.78\00:30:03.35
Chris Anne. Chris Anne.
00:30:03.38\00:30:05.03
I was sharing
with someone earlier
00:30:05.06\00:30:07.02
in talking with Chris Anne.
00:30:07.05\00:30:08.42
She said, "I'm the
third one who read this book."
00:30:08.45\00:30:10.77
And she said, "The Sabbath
00:30:10.80\00:30:12.91
I look forward to
it every weekend."
00:30:12.94\00:30:15.49
She said "This is
the most beautiful gift
00:30:15.52\00:30:17.17
God's ever given me."
00:30:17.20\00:30:18.62
But what happened, can I
tell-- I hate to admit this,
00:30:18.65\00:30:22.44
but you know what, in our
town the little downlink station
00:30:22.47\00:30:27.40
had been owned by
some charismatic group
00:30:27.43\00:30:30.86
and they were running
another television network.
00:30:30.89\00:30:34.54
And suddenly it
switched to 3ABN.
00:30:34.57\00:30:37.33
I wouldn't watch it. What?
00:30:37.36\00:30:40.04
I wouldn't watch it.
Say that again, why not?
00:30:40.07\00:30:41.96
I had heard some
negative things about Adventist.
00:30:41.99\00:30:45.70
I'm just putting that way.
00:30:45.73\00:30:47.10
I don't know where she
would hear that, do you.
00:30:47.13\00:30:48.50
I had just--I had
heard they were legalistic.
00:30:48.53\00:30:50.61
And because I grew up in
a legalistic environment,
00:30:50.64\00:30:53.37
I was doing everything
I could to run from that.
00:30:53.40\00:30:56.68
But here I am now,
I'm a Sabbath celebrator.
00:30:56.71\00:31:00.55
For two years I was
keeping the Sabbath,
00:31:00.58\00:31:03.29
I was out teaching the Sabbath.
00:31:03.32\00:31:05.22
God was teaching me
some beautiful new truths.
00:31:05.25\00:31:08.20
And suddenly one
day, I turn on 3ABN
00:31:08.23\00:31:11.14
and that's when I
learned the rest of the story.
00:31:11.17\00:31:13.44
And I'm so excited to
be a part of this church,
00:31:13.47\00:31:18.74
to be a part of
the ministry at 3ABN.
00:31:18.77\00:31:21.27
But I have to
say, Guy, you know,
00:31:21.30\00:31:23.13
when you said that it's humbling
00:31:23.16\00:31:24.98
that you feel that you
were just a little speck
00:31:25.01\00:31:29.07
that's how I feel too.
00:31:29.10\00:31:30.99
You know, I really
sincerely mean this that,
00:31:31.02\00:31:34.78
it wasn't Danny and
I who achieved this.
00:31:34.81\00:31:37.86
God gave us the book.
00:31:37.89\00:31:39.63
But it was--we just
played a small part in this.
00:31:39.66\00:31:44.50
It was when the
people of God got together
00:31:44.53\00:31:49.39
and went out and
passed this book out.
00:31:49.42\00:31:52.76
It was Guy, who God used even
more than Danny or more than me
00:31:52.79\00:31:58.60
by giving this
to Reggie and Cathy.
00:31:58.63\00:32:01.06
And I just praise the Lord.
00:32:01.09\00:32:03.19
You know, we have to remember
00:32:03.22\00:32:04.77
what Paul says
in 1 Corinthians 12
00:32:04.80\00:32:07.07
that, "We all have
a part in this body."
00:32:07.10\00:32:10.34
I mean, some of us
maybe little baby toes
00:32:10.37\00:32:13.22
and some of us maybe
thumbs, some of us maybe elbows,
00:32:13.25\00:32:16.89
but we all work together.
00:32:16.92\00:32:19.11
And Jesus Christ is
the head of this church.
00:32:19.14\00:32:22.70
And what He wants as a
body that's lined up under Him.
00:32:22.73\00:32:26.58
Walking in
obedience, being empowered
00:32:26.61\00:32:29.32
by the transforming power
of His word and by His spirit.
00:32:29.35\00:32:32.70
And not only are we
seeing all of these pastors,
00:32:32.73\00:32:35.10
but literally hundreds
if not thousands of people
00:32:35.13\00:32:37.98
had been reading
these books and saying,
00:32:38.01\00:32:39.97
"We've now accepted the Sabbath.
00:32:40.00\00:32:41.51
We're accepting new truths that
we never understood before."
00:32:41.54\00:32:44.88
And so we're excited about that
00:32:44.91\00:32:47.36
to see that so many
lives being touched.
00:32:47.39\00:32:50.72
But it just took
each of us to do a little,
00:32:50.75\00:32:53.27
somebody out passing this.
00:32:53.30\00:32:54.81
I heard one man, who
only passed out 50 books,
00:32:54.84\00:32:57.98
but he hit two
pastors in the same town
00:32:58.01\00:33:00.55
and both of them
accepted the Sabbath,
00:33:00.58\00:33:02.65
in a small town, that's amazing.
00:33:02.68\00:33:05.02
And one of them brought
their entire congregation over.
00:33:05.05\00:33:08.42
And the other one
has left his denomination
00:33:08.45\00:33:11.68
and become a
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:33:11.71\00:33:13.55
So it's amazing
what God is doing.
00:33:13.58\00:33:16.34
I think it's the times
in which we're living. Yes.
00:33:16.37\00:33:18.60
But there's people,
eleventh hour people,
00:33:18.63\00:33:20.91
people who are coming in,
00:33:20.94\00:33:22.49
that the Lord knew
Reggie and he knew Cathy
00:33:22.52\00:33:25.15
before you were born from
the foundation of the world.
00:33:25.18\00:33:28.25
And he said, "I have a people
00:33:28.28\00:33:30.54
that love their
lives not unto death.
00:33:30.57\00:33:32.78
And people that would be willing
00:33:32.81\00:33:34.18
to give their lives
unto death if necessary
00:33:34.21\00:33:36.39
for My cause in the closing
moments of earth's history.
00:33:36.42\00:33:39.70
So that everything that I did
00:33:39.73\00:33:41.10
on the cross of
Calvary was not in vain.
00:33:41.13\00:33:42.84
Somebody is gonna
show my character forth."
00:33:42.87\00:33:46.27
And so God is coming back
00:33:46.30\00:33:47.84
for a purified
bride, a purified church.
00:33:47.87\00:33:50.41
But I want to tell you this
that the more that we go the--
00:33:50.44\00:33:54.61
ever since last May
when this thing happened
00:33:54.64\00:33:57.91
and across in North
America and around the world.
00:33:57.94\00:34:00.51
We have never seen so many
trials, so many accusations,
00:34:00.54\00:34:04.67
so much of the
enemy fighting 3ABN.
00:34:04.70\00:34:07.74
People think,
they're fighting me,
00:34:07.77\00:34:09.53
people think
they're fighting Shelley
00:34:09.56\00:34:11.44
or they're
fighting John Lomacang.
00:34:11.47\00:34:13.22
They're not
fighting these people.
00:34:13.25\00:34:14.92
They're fighting God, right?
00:34:14.95\00:34:16.60
This is not my
ministry, it's God's ministry.
00:34:16.63\00:34:19.23
It's not my
message, it's God's message.
00:34:19.26\00:34:21.72
So don't waste your time
fighting me or anybody else
00:34:21.75\00:34:24.45
that you see,
that's not our job.
00:34:24.48\00:34:26.40
Our job is to get the
gospel into all the world
00:34:26.43\00:34:29.04
and God will honor that.
00:34:29.07\00:34:30.44
And He will bless
you, if you will stick
00:34:30.47\00:34:32.44
to doing what
He's called you to do.
00:34:32.47\00:34:34.47
Go ye into all the
world, make disciples.
00:34:34.50\00:34:37.50
And it says that we
should be teaching people
00:34:37.53\00:34:39.38
to observe all things
that He's commanded us.
00:34:39.41\00:34:41.79
And the entire
commandments is one of those.
00:34:41.82\00:34:43.80
Reggie, thank you again
for letting us be here tonight.
00:34:43.83\00:34:46.33
You have something to speak
to us in other minute or two
00:34:46.36\00:34:48.70
before we have some music.
00:34:48.73\00:34:50.10
We're gonna have
Kateena Laforge here in a bit.
00:34:50.13\00:34:52.65
And I'm not sure she's
next, but if she's not,
00:34:52.68\00:34:55.00
we'll bring her up anyway
and make her next, all right?
00:34:55.03\00:34:57.08
I mean you're asking an
excited, passionate preacher
00:34:57.11\00:34:59.25
about the Sabbath to
speak for a minute or two.
00:34:59.28\00:35:01.70
Ah, we may give you
little longer now, all right.
00:35:01.73\00:35:05.78
I just want to
welcome everybody,
00:35:05.81\00:35:07.18
tell you what an honor
it is that you are here
00:35:07.21\00:35:09.58
joining in
worshipping our God together.
00:35:09.61\00:35:13.39
People are here
in this room tonight
00:35:13.42\00:35:15.64
from many
different walks of life.
00:35:15.67\00:35:17.63
Not everybody here
is Adventist. Right.
00:35:17.66\00:35:20.44
You know, but
we're under the banner
00:35:20.47\00:35:22.73
of the Lordship of
Jesus Christ. Amen.
00:35:22.76\00:35:24.56
Amen. That's the
banner we are under.
00:35:24.59\00:35:27.78
I have been a Sunday keeper,
00:35:27.81\00:35:30.40
worshiping the Lord,
pretty much all my life.
00:35:30.43\00:35:35.07
As a Sunday
Christian, Sunday worshipper
00:35:35.10\00:35:38.04
and walked in
the truth that I had
00:35:38.07\00:35:40.34
and whenever I saw
the truth of the Sabbath.
00:35:40.37\00:35:44.58
And then I embraced it,
it just changed my life.
00:35:44.61\00:35:48.00
And so I've got a
lot of friends, family.
00:35:48.03\00:35:50.98
I have pastor friends.
00:35:51.01\00:35:52.38
I have all kind of associates
00:35:52.41\00:35:53.86
that just-- they
do not understand
00:35:53.89\00:35:56.29
where I am coming
from at this point.
00:35:56.32\00:35:58.78
But I've kind of drawn a
line in the sand so to speak
00:35:58.81\00:36:01.41
and saying this is
what God has shown me,
00:36:01.44\00:36:03.94
I'm walking in it, I'm obeying
Him from me and my house,
00:36:03.97\00:36:07.38
we will serve the
Lord in this way.Amen.
00:36:07.41\00:36:09.37
And I'm certainly not--
I'm not condemning of them,
00:36:09.40\00:36:16.03
if they do not see the
truth, because I went 57 years
00:36:16.06\00:36:18.94
without seeing the truth
myself about the Sabbath.
00:36:18.97\00:36:21.39
Saw a lot of truth, but
I didn't see that truth.
00:36:21.42\00:36:23.81
But I'm so glad
that I'm part of this,
00:36:23.84\00:36:26.10
the family, and you know,
00:36:26.13\00:36:28.36
you talk about those who
are coming in the last hour,
00:36:28.39\00:36:30.09
I'm just glad to get in
with this truth brother.
00:36:30.12\00:36:32.03
I'm glad to get in.
Thank God. Thank God.
00:36:32.06\00:36:34.10
To Him be honor and
glory and praise. Thank you.
00:36:34.13\00:36:37.34
Thank you,
Reggie. Thank you, Cathy.
00:36:37.37\00:36:39.33
You know, I just want
to say one more thing.
00:36:39.36\00:36:41.75
We know that God has
His people in all churches
00:36:41.78\00:36:45.14
and there's a lot of
sincere hearted people.
00:36:45.17\00:36:47.50
But I left
something hanging, Danny,
00:36:47.53\00:36:49.62
because some people
haven't heard the testimony.
00:36:49.65\00:36:52.34
When I started watching 3ABN,
00:36:52.37\00:36:55.14
here I have thought they
were such legalistic people,
00:36:55.17\00:36:58.44
the first time that I
landed on that channel.
00:36:58.47\00:37:00.61
Now you are one.
00:37:00.64\00:37:02.59
First time I
landed on that channel,
00:37:02.62\00:37:04.16
I heard Kenneth
Cox, and he said,
00:37:04.19\00:37:07.13
"I don't know what everybody's
problem is with obedience,
00:37:07.16\00:37:10.65
it's all by faith anyway."
00:37:10.68\00:37:12.65
Well, I was out
teaching obedience by grace,
00:37:12.68\00:37:15.96
that grace is the
divine empowerment of God
00:37:15.99\00:37:18.94
to live a godly life.
00:37:18.97\00:37:21.34
Then the next day, I
turned it on, on purpose,
00:37:21.37\00:37:23.52
'cause I thought he
must not be an Adventist.
00:37:23.55\00:37:26.00
The next day
when I turned it on,
00:37:26.03\00:37:27.94
it was Doug
Batchelor and he was talking
00:37:27.97\00:37:29.85
about salvation by
grace through faith.
00:37:29.88\00:37:32.78
And I thought, "Well, he
must not be an Adventist."
00:37:32.81\00:37:35.35
And then I learned, you
know, and what I teach is this.
00:37:35.38\00:37:39.49
Obedience is the
pathway to blessing. Yes.
00:37:39.52\00:37:42.96
God empowers us to obey.
00:37:42.99\00:37:45.18
There's nothing
legalistic about obeying
00:37:45.21\00:37:47.49
and as these good
people have learned.
00:37:47.52\00:37:50.85
The Sabbath is a
great gift. Amen.
00:37:50.88\00:37:54.23
Amen. Amen. Thank you.
00:37:54.26\00:37:55.79
Thank you,
Shelley. Thank you, Guy.
00:37:55.82\00:37:57.32
God bless you.
God bless you all.
00:37:57.35\00:37:59.24
We feel so blessed
to have Shelley and JD.
00:38:03.53\00:38:06.13
And we are so thankful
that they have joined us
00:38:06.16\00:38:08.22
at 3ABN for some time now.
00:38:08.25\00:38:09.62
And both of them
are such an asset,
00:38:10.85\00:38:12.99
JD works up in pastoral.
00:38:13.02\00:38:14.88
And JD, thank you for what
you do for the cause of God.
00:38:14.91\00:38:18.62
I like to bring
Sister Kateena LeForge.
00:38:18.65\00:38:21.81
And Kateena, it's a privilege to
have you and your husband Jose.
00:38:21.84\00:38:24.90
Where's Jose? Is he
going to sing with you tonight.
00:38:24.93\00:38:26.66
He never sings. He
just praise in paces.
00:38:26.69\00:38:29.81
Praise in paces, huh? Yeah.
00:38:29.84\00:38:31.25
Okay, all right.
00:38:31.28\00:38:32.65
Well, Jose we're glad
that you are here too.
00:38:32.68\00:38:34.14
And someday
we'll get Jose back up.
00:38:34.17\00:38:37.16
Once he gave a little
testimony once, didn't he?
00:38:37.19\00:38:39.48
He did. And he is such a nervous
wreck, but he got it soon.
00:38:39.51\00:38:43.00
Yeah, he did but
Jose gave a testimony
00:38:43.03\00:38:45.71
and you that, 3ABN has
made some changes in your lives.
00:38:45.74\00:38:49.12
Now, you're not
Seventh-day Adventist?
00:38:49.15\00:38:51.45
You haven't been born
and raised in the church?
00:38:51.48\00:38:53.15
No, I was raised in a
non-denominational church,
00:38:53.18\00:38:56.24
but it was called Pentecostal
00:38:56.27\00:38:59.00
but it was sort of a
non-denominational church.
00:38:59.03\00:39:01.35
But we've come to see
things quite differently
00:39:01.38\00:39:04.88
since watching 3ABN.
00:39:04.91\00:39:06.51
Well, that God's in
the business of changing
00:39:06.54\00:39:08.22
all of our hearts and
all of our minds and lives.
00:39:08.25\00:39:10.25
But I do know this and
the reason that we've had
00:39:10.28\00:39:12.56
you sing all along
and for many years,
00:39:12.59\00:39:15.43
you and
associated with you and Jose,
00:39:15.46\00:39:17.68
because we know that you
love Jesus with all your heart.
00:39:17.71\00:39:20.07
I do. Your soul and your mind.
00:39:20.10\00:39:21.47
And so we look
forward to you blessing us
00:39:21.50\00:39:22.87
with a couple of songs.
00:39:22.90\00:39:24.27
Thank you. Okay.
00:39:24.30\00:39:25.85
Living below in
this old sinful world
00:39:35.88\00:39:43.88
Hardly a comfort can afford
00:39:43.91\00:39:48.83
Striving alone to
face temptation so
00:39:52.66\00:40:00.63
Where could I go but to the Lord
00:40:00.66\00:40:05.90
Where could I go,
00:40:09.52\00:40:13.67
where could I go
00:40:13.70\00:40:17.84
Seeking the refuge for my soul
00:40:17.87\00:40:22.55
Needing a friend
to save me in the end
00:40:26.31\00:40:33.76
Won't you tell me
00:40:33.79\00:40:35.16
Where could I go but to the Lord
00:40:35.19\00:40:39.38
Life here is grand
00:40:51.85\00:40:55.16
with friends I love so dear
00:40:55.19\00:41:00.30
Comfort I get
from God's own word
00:41:00.33\00:41:08.25
Yet when I face that
chilling hand of death
00:41:08.28\00:41:15.91
Won't you tell me?
00:41:15.94\00:41:17.31
Where could I go but to the Lord
00:41:17.34\00:41:21.44
Where could I go
00:41:25.36\00:41:29.47
Where could I go
00:41:29.50\00:41:33.74
Seeking the refuge for my soul
00:41:33.77\00:41:38.31
Needing a friend
to save me in the end
00:41:42.22\00:41:49.60
Won't you tell me
00:41:49.63\00:41:51.00
Where could I go but to the Lord
00:41:51.03\00:41:55.07
Where could I go but to the Lord
00:41:59.12\00:42:06.58
To the Lord
00:42:06.61\00:42:11.12
Amen.
00:42:15.16\00:42:16.53
One of my favorite stories
in the Bible is about Mary.
00:42:19.86\00:42:25.11
And she was a shameful woman.
00:42:25.14\00:42:27.14
And she became a
follower of our Savior Jesus.
00:42:27.17\00:42:31.07
And she came before the
Lord and she knelt before Him,
00:42:31.10\00:42:33.81
she carried with
her an alabaster box.
00:42:33.84\00:42:36.83
And in that box
was her finest oil.
00:42:36.86\00:42:40.77
And she knelt before Him and she
washed His feet with her tears.
00:42:40.80\00:42:45.02
And she dried Him with her hair.
00:42:45.05\00:42:47.50
And she poured all of
her oil on the Savior's feet.
00:42:47.53\00:42:52.86
And the people thought
she shouldn't be there,
00:42:52.89\00:42:55.28
because the kind
of woman that she was.
00:42:55.31\00:42:58.52
But aren't you glad
He loved her anyway?
00:42:58.55\00:43:02.00
If you're waiting to be
good enough to serve Him,
00:43:02.03\00:43:04.65
it won't happen, surrender.
00:43:04.68\00:43:08.17
The room grew still
00:43:11.51\00:43:14.71
As she made her way to Jesus
00:43:14.74\00:43:18.09
She stumbles through the
tears that made her blind
00:43:18.12\00:43:23.93
She felt such pain
00:43:26.62\00:43:30.49
Some spoke in anger
00:43:30.52\00:43:33.73
Heard folks whisper
00:43:33.76\00:43:35.83
There's no place
here for her kind
00:43:35.86\00:43:42.21
Still on she came
00:43:42.24\00:43:45.05
Through the shame
that flushed her face
00:43:45.08\00:43:49.10
Until at last, she
knelt before his feet
00:43:49.13\00:43:56.67
And though she spoke no words
00:43:56.70\00:44:00.61
Everything she said was heard
00:44:00.64\00:44:04.34
As she poured her
love for the Master
00:44:04.37\00:44:09.00
From her box of alabaster
00:44:09.03\00:44:13.84
And I've come to pour
00:44:13.87\00:44:18.76
My praise on Him
00:44:18.79\00:44:22.32
Like oil from
Mary's alabaster box
00:44:22.35\00:44:28.34
Don't be angry if I
wash his feet with my tears
00:44:31.15\00:44:37.12
And I dry them with my hair
00:44:37.15\00:44:42.51
You weren't there
the night He found me
00:44:45.83\00:44:52.57
You did not feel what I felt
00:44:52.60\00:44:56.47
When he wrapped
his love all around me
00:44:56.50\00:45:01.25
And you don't know
the cost of the oil
00:45:01.28\00:45:07.01
In my alabaster box
00:45:07.04\00:45:11.51
I can't forget the
way life used to be
00:45:17.27\00:45:23.27
I was a prisoner to
the sin that had me bound
00:45:23.30\00:45:28.69
And I spent my days
00:45:32.00\00:45:35.45
Poured my life without measure
00:45:35.48\00:45:38.06
Into a little treasure box
00:45:38.09\00:45:41.02
I'd thought I'd found
00:45:41.05\00:45:46.52
Until the day
when Jesus came to me
00:45:46.55\00:45:52.22
And healed my soul
00:45:52.25\00:45:54.91
With the wonder of His touch
00:45:54.94\00:46:00.54
So now I'm giving back to Him
00:46:00.57\00:46:03.90
All the praise He's worthy of
00:46:03.93\00:46:07.16
I've been forgiven
00:46:07.19\00:46:09.78
And that's why
00:46:09.81\00:46:11.87
I love Him so much
00:46:11.90\00:46:17.99
And I've come to pour
00:46:18.02\00:46:22.32
My praise on Him
00:46:22.35\00:46:25.44
Like oil from
Mary's alabaster box
00:46:25.47\00:46:30.89
Don't be angry if I
wash his feet with my tears
00:46:34.17\00:46:40.00
And dry them
with my hair, my hair
00:46:40.03\00:46:47.94
You weren't there
the night Jesus found me
00:46:47.97\00:46:55.54
You did not feel what I felt
00:46:55.57\00:46:59.46
When He wrapped his
loving arms around me
00:46:59.49\00:47:04.35
And you don't know
the cost of the oil
00:47:04.38\00:47:10.91
No, you don't know
the cost of my praise
00:47:10.94\00:47:16.74
You don't know
the cost of the oil
00:47:20.03\00:47:25.93
In my alabaster box
00:47:25.96\00:47:33.01
Thank you, Kateena.
00:47:49.52\00:47:52.83
Somebody told me
once that they said,
00:47:52.86\00:47:54.64
"Kateena, you sing like,
you got a little color in you."
00:47:54.67\00:47:56.92
And I don't know what, I
don't what they meant by that.
00:47:56.95\00:47:59.90
I have no idea
what they meant by that,
00:47:59.93\00:48:01.35
I just repeating
what somebody said to me.
00:48:01.38\00:48:03.49
She sings like she's
got a little color in her.
00:48:03.52\00:48:05.54
So that's all. Don't
anybody write me any letters.
00:48:05.57\00:48:09.05
I'm not a racist or anything.
I love everybody, all right.
00:48:09.08\00:48:12.31
Just repeating what was
told to me. It's all right.
00:48:12.34\00:48:17.12
I think what they meant is
you're singing from your heart
00:48:17.15\00:48:19.49
and that's what's important.
00:48:19.52\00:48:20.89
You know, what Jesus wants from
all of us is just our heart.
00:48:20.92\00:48:23.98
That's all. We have
nothing good to give.
00:48:24.01\00:48:27.03
None of us do, nothing that's,
00:48:27.06\00:48:29.23
we're not worthy of anything,
everything is a free gift.
00:48:29.26\00:48:32.90
But all we have to do is be
willing to accept that gift.
00:48:32.93\00:48:36.35
It's great to be once
again here in Huntsville.
00:48:36.38\00:48:39.26
And Mandy, who is
that, Mandy down in front?
00:48:39.29\00:48:41.59
Raise your hand. Stand
up just a second, Mandy.
00:48:41.62\00:48:43.23
Turn around that way, would you?
00:48:43.26\00:48:44.63
I want some folk to get a
camera on this lady. All right.
00:48:44.66\00:48:47.82
Then I'm going to tell you
why, when I say--there you are.
00:48:47.85\00:48:50.12
Okay. All right.
00:48:50.15\00:48:51.52
Doesn't she look
pretty tonight? Okay.
00:48:51.55\00:48:53.40
Now isn't it nice instead
of you having to get the buses
00:48:53.43\00:48:57.02
and go all the way to
3ABN that we came down to you?
00:48:57.05\00:49:00.47
All right.
00:49:00.50\00:49:01.91
Mandy always
brings groups of people
00:49:01.94\00:49:04.33
up to camp meeting at 3ABN.
00:49:04.36\00:49:07.13
So this time I said guess
what, we get to come to Mandy
00:49:07.16\00:49:10.00
and we have to
bring the buses, right?
00:49:10.03\00:49:11.59
We bring the big
trucks and all of that.
00:49:11.62\00:49:13.70
So this is done with you
in mind, all right, Mandy?
00:49:13.73\00:49:16.29
There you go and
all the rest of you,
00:49:16.32\00:49:17.69
thank you all for coming.
00:49:17.72\00:49:19.09
And we appreciate
seeing you all again down here.
00:49:19.12\00:49:21.96
What I like to do--
let's see who do we have next?
00:49:21.99\00:49:23.74
I'm gonna have
my group come out.
00:49:23.77\00:49:25.14
So I know we have a couple
more groups and-- All right.
00:49:25.17\00:49:32.27
Okay. All right.
00:49:32.30\00:49:34.03
Oh, okay. All right.
00:49:34.06\00:49:35.87
Now, are you singing for us?
00:49:35.90\00:49:37.56
No. I'm not singing today.
00:49:37.59\00:49:39.63
I didn't think you were
singing. Give us your name.
00:49:39.66\00:49:42.14
Pearl Wise. Pearl.
00:49:42.17\00:49:43.66
Yes. Pearl Wise,
that's a nice name.
00:49:43.69\00:49:45.91
Wise, huh? Thank you.
00:49:45.94\00:49:47.31
And so I think that
you're spiritually wise.
00:49:47.34\00:49:50.13
What little I've
heard about you already.
00:49:50.16\00:49:52.33
Tell me you have a
little bit, C.A. Murray told me,
00:49:52.36\00:49:54.40
you had testimony
you're gonna share with us.
00:49:54.43\00:49:56.54
Well, I must let my testimony
go by the Spirit of God,
00:49:56.57\00:49:59.90
because Murray did
come from Oakwood College.
00:49:59.93\00:50:03.09
And he has got me up
here spontaneously. All right.
00:50:03.12\00:50:06.01
And so I must move
by the Spirit of God.
00:50:06.04\00:50:08.01
And with the Lord is
impressing on my heart
00:50:08.04\00:50:10.75
as I went to Murray tonight.
00:50:10.78\00:50:12.94
I had not planned
to be here tonight.
00:50:12.97\00:50:15.56
And Mandy was coming
00:50:15.59\00:50:17.87
and I was able to get a
ride here with her. Okay.
00:50:17.90\00:50:20.51
And so the Lord brought
me into this wonderful place.
00:50:20.54\00:50:23.10
And I saw Murray
and I ran into him
00:50:23.13\00:50:25.01
and I said God
bless you, Murray.
00:50:25.04\00:50:27.08
You all have really
been a blessing to me.
00:50:27.11\00:50:29.46
You all have been my husband
and that's what I say to Murray.
00:50:29.49\00:50:34.09
And so this is how
I'm up here tonight.
00:50:34.12\00:50:36.44
And what, I
guess the Lord wants me
00:50:36.47\00:50:38.35
to share with you all tonight
is that in my life there,
00:50:38.38\00:50:43.68
there were some sad
things happened in my life.
00:50:43.71\00:50:47.02
My father was a pastor.
00:50:47.05\00:50:48.54
My mother was a
church school teacher.
00:50:48.57\00:50:50.80
And there was some sad
disappointments happened
00:50:50.83\00:50:53.29
while my mother was
trying to get her education.
00:50:53.32\00:50:56.02
And there was some
abuse that took place.
00:50:56.05\00:50:58.54
And the song
tonight is just amazing.
00:50:58.57\00:51:01.53
How she sang that song
tonight because that was me,
00:51:01.56\00:51:05.48
I am that woman
with that alabaster.
00:51:05.51\00:51:07.59
Have mercy, all right.
00:51:07.62\00:51:08.99
I am the woman
with alabaster oil.
00:51:09.02\00:51:11.05
I am the one that
people have not understood
00:51:11.08\00:51:13.48
why I weep so easily when
a sermon is being preached.
00:51:13.51\00:51:17.38
Because of the abuse
that took place in my life
00:51:17.41\00:51:19.83
while my parents were
trying to take care of home.
00:51:19.86\00:51:23.12
And I just thank the
Lord for what He's done
00:51:23.15\00:51:25.49
and how He has preserved me.
00:51:25.52\00:51:27.35
And the reason
that 3ABN is my husband
00:51:27.38\00:51:30.24
is because once God
transformed my life.
00:51:30.27\00:51:33.56
And I decided that I didn't
want to live the lifestyle
00:51:33.59\00:51:36.90
of the parties and
the different things
00:51:36.93\00:51:39.37
that had come my way when
I attended Oakwood College.
00:51:39.40\00:51:42.69
Now, you know,
it's amazing, Danny.
00:51:42.72\00:51:45.01
You can go to a place where
it's a school of the prophets.
00:51:45.04\00:51:49.33
But we come from all
places around the world.
00:51:49.36\00:51:52.90
And so which lets us know
00:51:52.93\00:51:54.41
that even though we're
at a school with a sin of--
00:51:54.44\00:51:58.01
all the way to school
where the prophets are.
00:51:58.04\00:52:00.54
There still are scars where
sin has come in and affected us.
00:52:00.57\00:52:05.28
And when sin has
come in and affected us,
00:52:05.31\00:52:07.64
if we have not met Jesus,
we will affect somebody else.
00:52:07.67\00:52:11.76
And that's what happened to me.
00:52:11.79\00:52:13.69
As a innocent child, I
was affected by someone else,
00:52:13.72\00:52:17.64
until God sent me
to Oakwood College.
00:52:17.67\00:52:20.31
And when I was in, I would go
and I was living in Carter Hall,
00:52:20.34\00:52:24.06
the freshman dormitory,
the sophomore dormitory.
00:52:24.09\00:52:27.47
And my room was on the
front of the dormitory.
00:52:27.50\00:52:30.92
And that crazy bell
would ring every morning.
00:52:30.95\00:52:34.07
That was a early
morning prayer meeting bell.
00:52:34.10\00:52:36.64
And I said I wish that, somebody
would just shut that bell down.
00:52:36.67\00:52:40.80
And I could not
sleep I toss and I turn.
00:52:40.83\00:52:43.55
And finally I started going
to early morning prayer meeting.
00:52:43.58\00:52:47.35
And in early
morning prayer meeting
00:52:47.38\00:52:49.48
as testimonies was given,
my life was being changed.
00:52:49.51\00:52:52.99
Amen. All right. My
life was being changed.
00:52:53.02\00:52:55.21
And that's why I'm here
tonight as the testimony to say,
00:52:55.24\00:52:58.45
that my life has being changed,
00:52:58.48\00:52:59.85
it doesn't matter
how far you've gone down.
00:52:59.88\00:53:03.48
Christ goes deep down where
you are and will bring you up.
00:53:03.51\00:53:07.24
And at the time
that you're giving up
00:53:07.27\00:53:09.03
is the time that
He's ready to walk in
00:53:09.06\00:53:11.19
and transform your life.
00:53:11.22\00:53:12.60
And people won't
understand why you're smiling,
00:53:12.63\00:53:14.93
because just like
the song was saying.
00:53:14.96\00:53:16.96
You know, they don't understand
what Jesus, how He found me.
00:53:16.99\00:53:20.84
They don't understand how He
put His loving arms around me.
00:53:20.87\00:53:24.61
And that's what,
what happened with me.
00:53:24.64\00:53:26.72
He put His loving arms around me
00:53:26.75\00:53:28.81
and I didn't have
to have anymore arms.
00:53:28.84\00:53:31.04
I didn't have to
have some stranger
00:53:31.07\00:53:33.05
to lead me here
or lead me there.
00:53:33.08\00:53:35.01
But Jesus led me all the way.
00:53:35.04\00:53:36.76
Amen. Pearl, thank you so much.
00:53:36.79\00:53:38.38
And I'm grateful. God bless you.
00:53:38.41\00:53:39.78
And thanks for that
tremendous testimony.
00:53:39.81\00:53:41.92
Tell you what? I like preaching,
00:53:45.68\00:53:47.25
but testimonies are just
hard to beat, aren't they?
00:53:47.28\00:53:50.20
I mean, when somebody
just talks from the heart,
00:53:50.23\00:53:52.01
because that's
really what it's all about.
00:53:52.04\00:53:54.48
It's great that
we read the Bible
00:53:54.51\00:53:56.82
and we learn some things.
00:53:56.85\00:53:58.22
But people don't really care
how much of the Bible we know.
00:53:58.25\00:54:01.18
What they want to
know is, is who we know?
00:54:01.21\00:54:03.65
Do we know Jesus?
00:54:03.68\00:54:05.05
And what they want to see
is they want to see somebody
00:54:05.08\00:54:07.35
that has peace in their
life in the midst of a storm.
00:54:07.38\00:54:10.48
And so they want to see somebody
that can get up and say,
00:54:10.51\00:54:13.38
"You know, here's where I was.
00:54:13.41\00:54:15.22
I once was lost, but
now I'm found, Mandy."
00:54:15.25\00:54:18.36
And that's all
they're looking for.
00:54:18.39\00:54:19.81
Pearl was lost
and now she's found
00:54:19.84\00:54:21.58
and she's become the
wise to match her name, right?
00:54:21.61\00:54:24.77
When you're wise when you accept
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
00:54:24.80\00:54:28.00
Pastor C.A.
Murray, why don't you--
00:54:28.03\00:54:31.00
well, first of all
we're glad that you are here,
00:54:31.03\00:54:32.67
I'm very glad that you are part
00:54:32.70\00:54:34.07
of Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:54:34.10\00:54:36.25
And I appreciate what you do.
00:54:36.28\00:54:38.73
As C.A. wears numerous
hats from preaching to traveling
00:54:38.76\00:54:42.50
as far as Australia or wherever,
but producing the today program.
00:54:42.53\00:54:46.13
And we put you now
production manager.
00:54:46.16\00:54:49.14
So, well, you're
doing a number of things.
00:54:49.17\00:54:51.80
Can I tell a quick story?
00:54:51.83\00:54:53.20
'Cause this one
just came in last week.
00:54:53.23\00:54:56.07
It shows you what
a blessing 3ABN is.
00:54:56.10\00:54:58.21
A woman called me on the phone
00:54:58.24\00:55:00.20
and she got this story
actually from her husband.
00:55:00.23\00:55:02.96
They're going through
a pretty nasty divorce.
00:55:02.99\00:55:06.03
And she had an order
of protection on him.
00:55:06.06\00:55:09.00
He wasn't
supposed to be near her.
00:55:09.03\00:55:11.53
But he was waiting in
the house to take her life.
00:55:11.56\00:55:16.50
She was at work while
he's waiting in the house.
00:55:16.53\00:55:21.28
He says, "Let me turn on."
00:55:21.31\00:55:23.66
No, no. Come on now. Come on.
00:55:23.69\00:55:27.08
I'm telling you the truth.
You tell--I hadn't heard this.
00:55:27.11\00:55:28.96
Now this is true story.
I was saving in this one.
00:55:28.99\00:55:30.81
You didn't just
wake up. No, sir.
00:55:30.84\00:55:32.21
you weren't sleep. No, sir.
00:55:32.24\00:55:33.61
Wide awake and
listening on the phone. Okay.
00:55:33.64\00:55:35.72
He turns on the
television set, guess what's on?
00:55:35.75\00:55:39.80
Good thing, "Murder,
She Wrote" wasn't on, right?
00:55:39.83\00:55:45.42
No "Murder, She Wrote."
00:55:45.45\00:55:46.82
Oh, thank goodness. 3ABN.
00:55:46.85\00:55:49.15
3ABN. 3ABN.
00:55:49.18\00:55:52.93
He listened. He
put that knife down.
00:55:52.96\00:55:56.94
He waited for her to come home.
00:55:56.97\00:55:59.52
He confessed that
he was going to do.
00:55:59.55\00:56:02.68
And they are in counseling now,
00:56:02.71\00:56:05.70
trying to get
their life together.
00:56:05.73\00:56:07.91
And he is
penitent, sorry for his sins
00:56:07.94\00:56:13.20
and trying to find
Jesus Christ. Praise God.
00:56:13.23\00:56:15.56
And so she just
called to say, thank you
00:56:15.59\00:56:18.12
Three Angels
Broadcasting Network. Wow.
00:56:18.15\00:56:19.60
True story.
Incredible story, Pastor C.A.
00:56:19.63\00:56:22.39
why don't you just maybe lead us
in a closing prayer, would you?
00:56:22.42\00:56:25.71
I'll be glad to
do. Shall we pray?
00:56:25.74\00:56:28.18
Heavenly Father,
we just thank You.
00:56:28.21\00:56:30.58
We thank You
for the Sabbath day.
00:56:30.61\00:56:33.15
We thank You for Jesus.
00:56:33.18\00:56:35.74
We thank You for the Three
Angels Broadcasting Network
00:56:35.77\00:56:39.09
which you have erected,
00:56:39.12\00:56:40.90
which is a tool
in the hand of God
00:56:40.93\00:56:43.76
for the salvation
of the souls of men.
00:56:43.79\00:56:47.57
We thank You for the
vision that You gave to Danny.
00:56:47.60\00:56:51.20
And for all of the
thousands of people
00:56:51.23\00:56:52.99
who joined hands with
us in the greatest work
00:56:53.02\00:56:56.84
ever entrusted to
the frail hands of men.
00:56:56.87\00:57:00.48
And that is lifting
up the name of Jesus.
00:57:00.51\00:57:05.38
We thank You
Lord that this station
00:57:05.41\00:57:07.82
has been used as a tool
for pastors, for members,
00:57:07.85\00:57:13.72
for the
downtrodden, for the sad,
00:57:13.75\00:57:16.74
for those who have no
hope and see no way out.
00:57:16.77\00:57:20.34
We thank You for the gift
00:57:20.37\00:57:22.00
that You gave to
this world of Jesus.
00:57:22.03\00:57:25.42
And for the gift that
You gave to Danny Shelton
00:57:25.45\00:57:28.32
to lift up Jesus to
counteract the counterfeit.
00:57:28.35\00:57:32.72
Lord, bless this ministry.
It's been a tough year.
00:57:32.75\00:57:37.52
Satan has seemed to oppose.
00:57:37.55\00:57:39.81
But we are
thankful for the truth,
00:57:39.84\00:57:41.40
the abiding truth,
the wonderful truth
00:57:41.43\00:57:44.22
that greater is He that is in us
00:57:44.25\00:57:46.86
than he that is in the world.
00:57:46.89\00:57:48.77
And now we've
entered the year of victory.
00:57:48.80\00:57:52.20
Not victory in our own strength,
00:57:52.23\00:57:54.31
not victory
through fighting or combat,
00:57:54.34\00:57:56.96
but victory through
surrender to Jesus Christ.
00:57:56.99\00:58:00.51
May each of us Lord
be that living sacrifice
00:58:00.54\00:58:05.14
that was
mentioned in Romans 12:1?
00:58:05.17\00:58:07.44
May we be acceptable?
May we be used of Thee?
00:58:07.47\00:58:11.19
May we be blessed by Thee?
00:58:11.22\00:58:13.52
May we see the one day
soon face to blessed face?
00:58:13.55\00:58:18.74
We love You Lord.
We praise You Lord.
00:58:18.77\00:58:22.34
We recommit ourselves to You.
00:58:22.37\00:58:25.67
Asking You to take us and use us
00:58:25.70\00:58:29.07
and save us in
Thy eternal kingdom.
00:58:29.10\00:58:31.81
And we thank
You for Your promise
00:58:31.84\00:58:34.25
to answer the prayer
of faith in the worthy
00:58:34.28\00:58:37.79
and blessed name of Jesus. Amen.
00:58:37.82\00:58:41.34
Amen.
00:58:41.37\00:58:42.74
