Amen. Good morning,
00:04:22.68\00:04:24.20
I have the special
privilege of being able
00:04:24.21\00:04:26.49
to introduce you
to two dear friends of
00:04:26.50\00:04:29.40
mine that I met
six years ago in the
00:04:29.41\00:04:31.37
Czechoslovakia.
The first person here
00:04:31.38\00:04:34.69
I want to introduce to
you is Audrey Balderstone.
00:04:34.70\00:04:38.60
Her husband David
are here from England,
00:04:38.61\00:04:42.09
but what makes her so
special is the fact that
00:04:42.10\00:04:44.44
she is the
president of ASI Europe,
00:04:44.45\00:04:47.73
and she's been
involved and she has been the
00:04:47.74\00:04:50.47
catalyst in the
growing ASI Europe from eight
00:04:50.48\00:04:53.91
chapters, now
they have ten chapters
00:04:53.92\00:04:56.48
and she has been
very influential in
00:04:56.49\00:04:58.42
the growth of ASI
Europe and has the passion
00:04:58.43\00:05:01.15
of sharing Christ in
her market place in Europe,
00:05:01.16\00:05:05.28
and our dear
friend Radim Passer,
00:05:05.29\00:05:07.98
who is from Czechoslovakia.
00:05:07.99\00:05:09.88
I had the privilege
of meeting him and going
00:05:09.89\00:05:12.07
to his business. He is
one of the largest real
00:05:12.08\00:05:15.01
estate developers in the
country of Czechoslovakia
00:05:15.02\00:05:19.14
and what makes Radim
so special is not that
00:05:19.15\00:05:21.77
he is a developer,
not to give you ASI family
00:05:21.78\00:05:24.55
in idea of what he
does as he builds high rise
00:05:24.56\00:05:27.79
office buildings. He
just told me they just
00:05:27.80\00:05:30.63
completed a
transaction over a quarter of a
00:05:30.64\00:05:33.38
billion dollars just
a couple of weeks ago.
00:05:33.39\00:05:36.46
But what makes Radim
so special is not that,
00:05:36.47\00:05:40.18
when I went to his
office building first time,
00:05:40.19\00:05:42.54
first floor is a
health food store where
00:05:42.55\00:05:45.27
he is involving the
community and reaching
00:05:45.28\00:05:47.96
out into the community
but then I went up into
00:05:47.97\00:05:50.39
his office building
on the top floor and
00:05:50.40\00:05:52.71
I saw the layout of his
design of his new office
00:05:52.72\00:05:55.47
complex and what
he is most impressed
00:05:55.48\00:05:58.18
with was a fact that in
the center of his office
00:05:58.19\00:06:01.17
complex is in the
very heart of Prague
00:06:01.18\00:06:04.82
is a church. Amen.
The most important thing
00:06:04.83\00:06:10.00
that I want you to
remember about Radim
00:06:10.01\00:06:12.06
is not that he is a
real estate developer,
00:06:12.07\00:06:15.15
it's a fact that he
is a man that loves Jesus
00:06:15.16\00:06:18.76
and has a passion
for sharing Christ
00:06:18.77\00:06:22.07
and seeing his soon return.
00:06:22.08\00:06:24.07
Radim and Audrey,
welcome to ASI. Thank you.
00:06:24.08\00:06:28.12
Good morning everyone.
00:06:36.39\00:06:37.83
But before we
get stated I forgot,
00:06:37.84\00:06:40.56
before we get started
I want to pray with you.
00:06:40.57\00:06:43.30
Our Heavenly Father,
please be with Audrey
00:06:44.74\00:06:47.77
and Radim as
they spread your word,
00:06:47.78\00:06:50.35
open their hearts and
minds of the people that
00:06:50.36\00:06:52.74
will hear your voice and
that they will be blessed
00:06:52.75\00:06:55.64
and that they
will use your word,
00:06:55.65\00:06:58.01
their words to
inspire them to share Christ
00:06:58.02\00:07:01.34
in their market
place and to their part to
00:07:01.35\00:07:04.20
hasten your soon
return. We ask in thy name,
00:07:04.21\00:07:07.85
amen. Amen. Thank you.
00:07:07.86\00:07:11.27
Good morning again,
you know when I stand
00:07:11.28\00:07:14.44
with these two
men I always feel that
00:07:14.45\00:07:17.13
they are gentle
giants. Now you may say that
00:07:17.14\00:07:20.77
anyone will be a
giant next to me.
00:07:20.78\00:07:23.48
But they're
giants, this is not only in
00:07:23.49\00:07:25.62
their stature but in
their towering commitment
00:07:25.63\00:07:29.31
and faith in Jesus Christ.
00:07:29.32\00:07:32.04
Radim's drive and
steely determination
00:07:32.05\00:07:35.75
are tempered by
his humility and by his
00:07:35.76\00:07:39.65
deep faith in Jesus
and the way in which
00:07:39.66\00:07:43.13
he lives his life.
As you've heard Radim
00:07:43.14\00:07:45.82
is here to share his
story and his testimony
00:07:45.83\00:07:49.18
with us this morning but we,
00:07:49.19\00:07:51.15
before we begin the story,
00:07:51.16\00:07:52.67
Radim can you tell us just
00:07:52.68\00:07:53.97
a little bit about yourself?
00:07:53.98\00:07:55.82
Welcome ASI. I
am 43 years old boy.
00:07:57.25\00:08:02.94
I'm from Czech Republic, Prague.
00:08:04.62\00:08:07.01
My wife's name
is Anna and we have
00:08:07.02\00:08:09.99
6 years old boy and
in my company is working
00:08:10.00\00:08:14.80
about 40 people.
Thanks to blessing of God,
00:08:14.81\00:08:19.05
we've build more
than 10 percent new office
00:08:19.06\00:08:21.77
building in
Prague in last 15 years.
00:08:21.78\00:08:25.23
And in a
non-profit sector we have
00:08:25.24\00:08:28.87
civil organization
Maranatha are working
00:08:28.88\00:08:31.26
about 20 people.
Good. That's wonderful.
00:08:31.27\00:08:34.60
Now you haven't been a
Christian for very long,
00:08:34.61\00:08:37.08
Radim, have you? And
it was a great trauma
00:08:37.09\00:08:40.95
in your life that
brought you to Christ.
00:08:40.96\00:08:43.00
Are you able to share a
little bit of that with us?
00:08:43.01\00:08:46.68
In 1998, after a long
time to wait our first
00:08:48.07\00:08:54.25
son was born. His name was Max.
00:08:54.26\00:08:58.06
But after 6 weeks
we got to know he is
00:08:58.07\00:09:01.32
seriously sick. He's
got a tumor in his brain
00:09:01.33\00:09:05.49
and when he was
two months old he died.
00:09:05.50\00:09:09.36
It was really
terrible time for us.
00:09:09.37\00:09:12.10
And during the time
that Max was ill you
00:09:12.11\00:09:14.85
had began to pray for
the first time in your life.
00:09:14.86\00:09:17.67
Is that right?
Yes. I started to pray
00:09:17.68\00:09:21.98
during his illness
and when I got to know
00:09:21.99\00:09:26.63
he's died. First
sentence what I told to my wife
00:09:26.64\00:09:32.21
was I will not
pray anymore, but in my
00:09:32.22\00:09:36.04
mind I knew I
don't mean it seriously
00:09:36.05\00:09:41.11
because if we lose our
new relationship with God
00:09:41.12\00:09:46.30
we will lose everything.
So you did begin to pray
00:09:46.31\00:09:49.77
and you began to
study the Bible as well,
00:09:49.78\00:09:51.76
didn't you? I
started to put a lot of
00:09:51.77\00:09:55.19
logical questions. I
was not able from the
00:09:55.20\00:09:58.69
beginning to
understand the Bible.
00:09:58.70\00:10:00.90
I asked what is after death.
00:10:00.91\00:10:05.22
I've got to know that
the immortality of the
00:10:05.23\00:10:08.68
soul is not
biblical teaching and one
00:10:08.69\00:10:12.57
of my question
was about the prophets
00:10:12.58\00:10:15.35
because I knew that
the Bible was written
00:10:15.36\00:10:18.59
by prophets, but I
couldn't understand
00:10:18.60\00:10:21.33
that during 2000
years wouldn't be any other
00:10:21.34\00:10:25.21
significant prophets
with some significant
00:10:25.22\00:10:29.89
message for this
Lord and therefore,
00:10:29.90\00:10:33.58
I came to name
Ellen White and we
00:10:33.59\00:10:36.39
started to read her
book alongside with Bible,
00:10:36.40\00:10:40.24
and we started
to understand Bible.
00:10:40.25\00:10:42.75
And by this time in
1998, something else
00:10:42.76\00:10:46.84
happened which was
mementos in your life.
00:10:46.85\00:10:49.50
Our mercy God has for
us prepared ideal timing,
00:10:49.51\00:10:56.52
that time was late 98
from Andrews University
00:10:56.53\00:11:03.02
by Dwight Nelson. We
attended with my wife
00:11:03.03\00:11:06.06
all 27 lectures
and during the late 98
00:11:06.07\00:11:09.83
we decided to became
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:11:09.84\00:11:12.23
So that, it was
wonderful but you didn't,
00:11:12.24\00:11:14.70
you weren't baptized right way,
00:11:14.71\00:11:16.37
were you Radim?
We wanted before our
00:11:16.38\00:11:19.91
baptism to get deep
relationship with God
00:11:19.92\00:11:25.78
to right way
understand every single
00:11:25.79\00:11:28.42
Seventh-day Adventist
teaching about the Bible
00:11:28.43\00:11:31.10
and that's why we
postponed our baptism
00:11:31.11\00:11:33.33
but in September
'99 we were baptized.
00:11:33.34\00:11:37.06
That was wonderful. That meant a
00:11:37.07\00:11:39.60
tremendous change
in your lifestyle,
00:11:39.61\00:11:41.84
didn't it Radim?
Yes, if you accept it,
00:11:41.85\00:11:46.16
Lord Jesus Christ
in your life everything
00:11:46.17\00:11:48.46
has changed. My
priorities changed completely.
00:11:48.47\00:11:53.12
Lord Jesus will become
on first place in my life
00:11:53.13\00:11:58.49
and I have good
start to build the
00:11:58.50\00:12:03.96
relationship with my Savior.
00:12:03.97\00:12:06.80
And building this
relationship with Jesus
00:12:06.81\00:12:09.66
and changing your
lifestyle, what impacted
00:12:09.67\00:12:12.41
did that have on
your business partners
00:12:12.42\00:12:14.41
and those with whom
you worked for instance.
00:12:14.42\00:12:16.75
If you accepted
Jesus in your life you are
00:12:16.76\00:12:19.75
full of faith. So I
spoke about my new faith
00:12:19.76\00:12:24.60
with my business
partners, with my
00:12:24.61\00:12:27.20
employees and
very often happen to me
00:12:27.21\00:12:31.29
for instance by business launch
00:12:31.30\00:12:34.08
the second on
our shared sentences
00:12:34.09\00:12:37.66
we started to talk about God.
00:12:37.67\00:12:40.01
And what was the
reaction of people
00:12:40.02\00:12:43.77
who knew that you
used to have a very
00:12:43.78\00:12:46.26
different
lifestyle? Because people
00:12:46.27\00:12:49.50
knew what happened in our lives,
00:12:49.51\00:12:52.20
nobody was surprised by it.
00:12:52.21\00:12:56.19
People accepted my new faith,
00:12:56.20\00:13:00.90
but I think just time
should show if it's just
00:13:00.91\00:13:05.51
something what
should support us for,
00:13:05.52\00:13:09.89
if it's something
which is really permanent.
00:13:09.90\00:13:13.33
Yeah, so they
thought it might have been
00:13:13.34\00:13:15.14
a crutch
initially but it became your
00:13:15.15\00:13:17.59
permanent
support. Yes. Now you've
00:13:17.60\00:13:20.65
written all of
these down in your first
00:13:20.66\00:13:23.30
book, Radim,
haven't you? What was the
00:13:23.31\00:13:25.46
purpose of writing that book?
00:13:25.47\00:13:27.48
I felt a few
years that God wants me
00:13:30.22\00:13:35.35
to write about my story.
00:13:35.36\00:13:39.92
I would like to say
in my biography that
00:13:39.93\00:13:45.27
I am not the
main important person,
00:13:45.28\00:13:47.87
the most important
person is Lord Jesus
00:13:47.88\00:13:50.36
Christ and what
He did in my life.
00:13:50.37\00:13:55.81
Before I started I
pray the book should help
00:13:55.82\00:14:02.57
at least one
single person to come to
00:14:02.58\00:14:05.35
Lord Jesus
Christ. It was my desire.
00:14:05.36\00:14:08.47
And did that
happen? Was it fulfilled?
00:14:08.48\00:14:11.20
Thank God, yes, because what is
00:14:11.21\00:14:13.79
the price of one
single person saved for
00:14:13.80\00:14:17.49
eternity, yeah,
in the Matthew 16:26
00:14:17.50\00:14:21.32
we can read that what
will be benefit for the
00:14:21.33\00:14:24.69
men who although
got the whole world
00:14:24.70\00:14:27.25
but he lose his
eternal life. Yes.
00:14:27.26\00:14:30.50
So for instance
last convention of ASI,
00:14:30.51\00:14:36.20
Czechoslovakia in
November last year
00:14:36.21\00:14:38.92
I've got the same
question in small group
00:14:38.93\00:14:42.75
of people and I
answered the way what I told,
00:14:42.76\00:14:46.85
to desire of the
one single person
00:14:46.86\00:14:49.02
to come to Lord
Jesus Christ and one young
00:14:49.03\00:14:52.11
lady told me so I
am the result because
00:14:52.12\00:14:55.10
I'm here because
of your book. Yeah.
00:14:55.11\00:14:57.70
And I've got
hundreds and hundreds written
00:14:57.71\00:15:03.40
responses which make
really encouragement to me.
00:15:03.41\00:15:07.87
That's wonderful. In
our church I've met during
00:15:07.88\00:15:12.34
last few weeks
two person who told me
00:15:12.35\00:15:16.04
they started to
attend the church because
00:15:16.05\00:15:18.40
they've read the
book, so I am very,
00:15:18.41\00:15:20.74
I am very
grateful to God for it.
00:15:20.75\00:15:22.57
God has really
blessed and you're having an
00:15:22.58\00:15:25.47
ongoing dialogue
with somebody else who
00:15:25.48\00:15:27.79
read your book,
aren't you Radim?
00:15:27.80\00:15:29.69
About 15 months
ago, the highest Roman
00:15:29.70\00:15:35.34
Catholic Priest in
our country who is the
00:15:35.35\00:15:37.69
cardinal wrote
me, wrote me a letter.
00:15:37.70\00:15:41.18
He would like to
meet with you because
00:15:41.19\00:15:42.93
he read the book.
So we've met about
00:15:42.94\00:15:47.03
5 times for 2-3 hours meetings.
00:15:47.04\00:15:51.66
In last two
meetings he started to study
00:15:51.67\00:15:54.73
together Bible and he told me.
00:15:54.74\00:15:58.65
He told me you shouldn't expect
00:16:07.49\00:16:10.36
anything wrong from me.
00:16:10.37\00:16:12.04
I was just
impressed by grace of God of
00:16:12.05\00:16:15.00
your life, so it's
very nice talks about Bible,
00:16:15.01\00:16:20.17
about how Lord Jesus can
change life of the people
00:16:20.18\00:16:26.77
who would allow him. Yes.
00:16:26.78\00:16:28.81
And this cardinal knew
another priest in Moldova,
00:16:28.82\00:16:33.31
didn't he? Yeah, it
was nice feedback for me
00:16:33.32\00:16:37.85
about 10 days ago,
he called me and he was
00:16:37.86\00:16:40.96
on some Bishop
conference in Moldova
00:16:40.97\00:16:43.79
and he told me
there was some Bishop
00:16:43.80\00:16:46.78
who was seriously
sick and he met some
00:16:46.79\00:16:50.66
Seventh-day
Adventist people and they
00:16:50.67\00:16:54.41
advised him how to
change his lifestyle
00:16:54.42\00:16:57.18
to be healthy. He did
it, he lost 15 kilograms
00:16:57.19\00:17:01.23
and he was healed.
And this cardinal told,
00:17:01.24\00:17:07.50
I know also some
Seventh-day Adventist
00:17:07.51\00:17:10.09
from Czech Republic.
They had some vegetarian
00:17:10.10\00:17:12.85
restaurant and it
was a real nice feedback.
00:17:12.86\00:17:16.17
So the influence is going wide.
00:17:16.18\00:17:19.43
Now you've just
finished your second book,
00:17:19.44\00:17:22.05
Radim and I've read
it almost in one sitting
00:17:22.06\00:17:25.87
and in there you
tell that, we know,
00:17:25.88\00:17:28.84
when a person gives
their life to Christ then
00:17:28.85\00:17:31.85
the devil is going
to attack that person
00:17:31.86\00:17:34.62
even more than
ever and the police came
00:17:34.63\00:17:37.58
to see you one day
and they had a surprising
00:17:37.59\00:17:40.33
announcement for
you. What was it?
00:17:40.34\00:17:42.50
It was 3 years ago,
I've got information
00:17:42.51\00:17:46.48
that some people
ordered my killing.
00:17:46.49\00:17:49.24
And so there was a contract.
00:17:49.25\00:17:52.05
It was completely
new situation in my life.
00:17:52.06\00:17:55.02
I was never faced
something risk and
00:17:55.03\00:17:59.34
my blood
pressure goes just came,
00:17:59.35\00:18:02.66
stayed the same and
my soul came to God,
00:18:02.67\00:18:07.07
I didn't feel in my
heart any despite, any hate,
00:18:07.08\00:18:10.42
so I don't want to
say it was easy time,
00:18:10.43\00:18:14.10
it wasn't but on the
other hand I am totally
00:18:14.11\00:18:17.44
relay on my God and
it was good at the end.
00:18:17.45\00:18:21.53
Where as most of
us would be terribly
00:18:21.54\00:18:25.08
frightened and I
think you felt calm,
00:18:25.09\00:18:28.14
although it's was a
dreadful time you knew
00:18:28.15\00:18:30.54
the God would work things hard
00:18:30.55\00:18:33.15
according to His will. Yes.
00:18:33.16\00:18:36.30
Now, you've had a
very eventful life
00:18:36.31\00:18:39.71
so far in these
few years since you
00:18:39.72\00:18:41.93
became a Christian and last year
00:18:41.94\00:18:44.16
we had a wonderful
time in Dallas with the
00:18:44.17\00:18:47.76
ASI family and after
you left there at the
00:18:47.77\00:18:51.63
end of August something
else traumatic happened?
00:18:51.64\00:18:54.49
Can you tell us
about that, Radim?
00:18:54.50\00:18:56.72
It was the 20 and
29 August last year,
00:18:56.73\00:19:00.53
we came that day
with my family from Vienna
00:19:00.54\00:19:05.72
to our house and that
evening I came for some
00:19:05.73\00:19:10.88
medicament for my
wife to Prague and back.
00:19:10.89\00:19:14.79
You were driving
on your own, yes,
00:19:14.80\00:19:16.71
you left the
family at home. Yes.
00:19:16.72\00:19:18.11
I was alone in my
car. It was the Roadster
00:19:18.12\00:19:22.81
without roof. And
when I was on my way back
00:19:22.82\00:19:28.56
it came to accident.
I was not in comatose,
00:19:28.57\00:19:33.10
I was not in comma
but I don't remember
00:19:33.11\00:19:35.79
exactly what
happened. You weren't in a coma
00:19:35.80\00:19:38.78
after the accident
but you can't remember any
00:19:38.79\00:19:41.83
details and you were
driving a car that had
00:19:41.84\00:19:45.22
no roof. Yes, exactly
and it was very nice route,
00:19:45.23\00:19:51.05
easy situation I just
would like to pass small,
00:19:51.06\00:19:54.91
small track and
probably I've got
00:19:54.92\00:19:57.71
in some left-hand
curve some slight and
00:19:57.72\00:20:02.47
I went with my car
to do crash barrier on
00:20:02.48\00:20:07.07
the left side
there was about 5 meter,
00:20:07.08\00:20:09.68
5 meter down and
between the crash
00:20:09.69\00:20:14.73
barrier and route
was a narrow line of the
00:20:14.74\00:20:18.09
grass and my left
wheels came to the grass
00:20:18.10\00:20:22.25
and after about 30
meters car turns 90
00:20:22.26\00:20:26.79
degrees left and try
to went to down under the
00:20:26.80\00:20:31.71
crash barrier and
the car went under the
00:20:31.72\00:20:36.42
crash barrier,
the front window went
00:20:36.43\00:20:39.76
little bit down.
I've got something to my,
00:20:39.77\00:20:45.96
to my forehead and
the security system
00:20:45.97\00:20:50.72
of the car
recognized there is the accident
00:20:50.73\00:20:54.18
so some steel extension
went up behind the seats
00:20:54.19\00:21:00.82
and the car stand
above the hill down.
00:21:00.83\00:21:08.02
We saw just now the
photograph of the car
00:21:08.03\00:21:12.90
and you can
imagine that anyone seeing
00:21:12.91\00:21:16.07
that car would think
that the person inside
00:21:16.08\00:21:18.79
would never get
alive. Now you don't remember
00:21:18.80\00:21:21.98
this but you were
told on how you reacted?
00:21:21.99\00:21:25.37
You didn't go unconscious.
I really don't remember
00:21:25.38\00:21:29.55
what happened but
according to witnesses
00:21:29.56\00:21:33.41
I opened door, some
people helped me out
00:21:33.42\00:21:37.73
of the car. I was
blooding from my head,
00:21:37.74\00:21:41.28
I gave the phone
number one lady to my wife.
00:21:41.29\00:21:45.97
She called her, she told her,
00:21:45.98\00:21:48.49
I had a serious
accident, I am from the block.
00:21:48.50\00:21:51.91
I took the phone, I
told my wife how I love you,
00:21:51.92\00:21:55.39
how I love my son.
She thought it's my
00:21:55.40\00:21:59.55
final words to say
hello, but thanks God,
00:21:59.56\00:22:03.95
I was delivered to the
hospital and just in the
00:22:03.96\00:22:10.74
hospital I remember
first thought after accident.
00:22:10.75\00:22:14.90
Now this is your
thought after the accident,
00:22:14.91\00:22:17.84
what was it? It was
some really silent voice
00:22:17.85\00:22:22.94
who told me the
devil wanted to kill you.
00:22:22.95\00:22:27.18
So you heard this
voice in your head saying
00:22:27.19\00:22:30.11
that the devil had
wanted to kill you.
00:22:30.12\00:22:32.05
Yes. And then. Then
came in the next second,
00:22:32.06\00:22:35.44
came the second,
second sentence and
00:22:35.45\00:22:39.04
it was told to me
but I am much more
00:22:39.05\00:22:43.08
powerful than him. Amen.
00:22:43.09\00:22:46.94
Truly it was a
miracle and you were lying
00:22:54.04\00:22:56.56
in your hospital
bed, your wife came to
00:22:56.57\00:22:59.22
see you then.
Then came my wife and
00:22:59.23\00:23:01.41
told me God have
still some work for you,
00:23:01.42\00:23:06.94
because what doctors
and policemen told to me;
00:23:06.95\00:23:10.50
it was a medical you
will stay alive you have
00:23:10.51\00:23:14.07
still your head
on the right place.
00:23:14.08\00:23:18.35
Yes. Yes, I mean
really with an accident like
00:23:18.36\00:23:23.87
that your head
should have been severed
00:23:23.88\00:23:25.72
but all you have is
a scar to remind you.
00:23:25.73\00:23:28.57
I had a fracture over the skull.
00:23:28.58\00:23:31.04
Yes, skull. Also
some bleeding through the
00:23:31.05\00:23:35.10
brain doctor
thinks got everything went
00:23:35.11\00:23:37.44
well but it was the
big risk I have to go for
00:23:37.45\00:23:41.85
some surgery of
my head because there
00:23:41.86\00:23:45.74
was some
communication between exterior
00:23:45.75\00:23:48.58
and interior in the brain.
00:23:48.59\00:23:50.10
So there was
pressure building up
00:23:50.11\00:23:52.27
neurological
pressure. It was not too painful
00:23:52.28\00:23:54.57
about I felt big
pressure in my brain,
00:23:54.58\00:23:58.27
in my heart. Yes,
the doctors were advising
00:23:58.28\00:24:01.42
you to have an
operation, weren't they?
00:24:01.43\00:24:03.48
Yeah, I told them
I will pray for it,
00:24:03.49\00:24:06.49
because I have
God who can healed me
00:24:06.50\00:24:09.75
and my wife and
some people advised me
00:24:09.76\00:24:15.94
according to James
5th chapter to have
00:24:15.95\00:24:22.66
the prayer by
sick person bed. Yes.
00:24:22.67\00:24:26.21
I spent the whole
night through prayers to God
00:24:26.22\00:24:32.03
and I agreed with
this and two weeks after
00:24:32.04\00:24:37.13
the accident this
worship happened in our home.
00:24:37.14\00:24:41.22
You were
anointed in your own home.
00:24:41.23\00:24:43.79
Yes, and second
day I was woke up
00:24:43.80\00:24:48.69
and the pressure in my brain was
00:24:48.70\00:24:53.65
gone and never came again.
00:24:53.66\00:24:56.50
We tend to
forget that sometimes,
00:25:05.05\00:25:07.33
we tend to forget
that God is working very
00:25:07.34\00:25:10.05
close even now as long
as we have the faith in Him.
00:25:10.06\00:25:13.75
Now it doesn't always
work. The people who are
00:25:13.76\00:25:17.30
anointed recover
but you knew that even
00:25:17.31\00:25:22.25
if God didn't chose
to heal you, you would
00:25:22.26\00:25:24.56
still trust Him,
didn't you? Yes, I would like
00:25:24.57\00:25:29.14
to express that all of
I say that when I can to
00:25:29.15\00:25:34.50
see in the mirror
or I know who should
00:25:34.51\00:25:39.33
I be grateful because
I can see this scar of my
00:25:39.34\00:25:43.29
forehead and also few
days or one week after
00:25:43.30\00:25:49.51
the worship in our
home I was on the CT for the
00:25:49.52\00:25:54.93
checking everything
and through the operation
00:25:54.94\00:26:00.07
and through the
surgery. So you had a CT scan.
00:26:00.08\00:26:03.11
They confirmed
me that everything
00:26:03.12\00:26:05.21
was healed. That's wonderful.
00:26:05.22\00:26:07.26
Now, that must have
had tremendous impact
00:26:07.27\00:26:11.05
on your friends and
family and the church members.
00:26:11.06\00:26:14.91
It had a real
impacted on one church member,
00:26:14.92\00:26:17.93
didn't it? Yes, Sometimes
we feel in our country,
00:26:17.94\00:26:25.86
we don't use the
James 5 chapter too often
00:26:25.87\00:26:30.90
and one lady was
seriously sick by the cancer.
00:26:30.91\00:26:34.75
The doctors told
her there is no chance
00:26:34.76\00:26:38.14
to be healed. She
has no hope to be healed
00:26:38.15\00:26:45.64
and I spoke with her
about this and she at
00:26:45.65\00:26:49.80
the end agreed with
this worship for her
00:26:49.81\00:26:54.84
and she was healed as well.
00:26:54.85\00:26:58.32
So there were two
miraculous healings
00:26:58.33\00:27:01.90
out of this one
attempt by the devil to take
00:27:01.91\00:27:05.61
the life of one
of God's children.
00:27:05.62\00:27:08.25
Now Radim, I know
that everything you do
00:27:08.26\00:27:12.95
and everything you
say, you want it only to
00:27:12.96\00:27:15.30
bring glory to God
and this testimony is one
00:27:15.31\00:27:18.95
that is doing that
and your book is doing
00:27:18.96\00:27:21.98
that as well. Now in
your business you've been
00:27:21.99\00:27:25.65
giving lots of
awards for your business
00:27:25.66\00:27:28.70
and personally
and I know that as you
00:27:28.71\00:27:33.12
accept these you
always give glory to God.
00:27:33.13\00:27:36.55
How do you do that
and when you are given
00:27:36.56\00:27:40.05
an award what's your
first, your first words
00:27:40.06\00:27:44.74
when you accept? I
would like this also
00:27:44.75\00:27:49.43
to informative book,
the book was translated
00:27:49.44\00:27:53.37
to English. Yes, so
you can read all of that
00:27:53.38\00:27:57.23
you on the
Maranatha stand, yeah.
00:27:57.24\00:28:00.66
And of course the
relationship with Jesus
00:28:00.67\00:28:06.89
is the most
important what could happen
00:28:06.90\00:28:10.78
in my life. I think
I always telling the
00:28:10.79\00:28:18.10
people it was the
best decision in my life,
00:28:18.11\00:28:21.09
because if I have
Jesus I have everything.
00:28:21.10\00:28:24.05
If I don't have
Jesus I have nothing.
00:28:24.06\00:28:25.67
So you are at these
big prestigious awards with
00:28:25.68\00:28:29.55
many captains of
industry there and
00:28:29.56\00:28:32.36
do you actually say
that you are receiving
00:28:32.37\00:28:35.51
this award because
Jesus blesses your life.
00:28:35.52\00:28:39.87
I have, thanks God I
have lot of opportunities
00:28:39.88\00:28:43.05
to share my faith
with other people,
00:28:43.06\00:28:45.94
and I have two chance
to speak with top managers
00:28:45.95\00:28:53.12
of our country and
we can speak about Jesus
00:28:53.13\00:28:57.21
what He did in my
life and what He can do
00:28:57.22\00:29:00.25
for everybody. Yes. I
know you met Bill Gates
00:29:00.26\00:29:05.92
some time ago, were
you able to share with him?
00:29:05.93\00:29:09.01
I was just one of
the fifty persons in our
00:29:09.02\00:29:12.25
country who was on the meeting,
00:29:12.26\00:29:13.91
so it wasn't
possible. I was very stuck
00:29:13.92\00:29:17.83
when I first met
Radim and I took a brochure
00:29:17.84\00:29:22.88
from his office and
right there on the front page
00:29:22.89\00:29:26.92
of his brochure he
says that his business
00:29:26.93\00:29:30.10
is dedicated to God and
it is God who blesses it.
00:29:30.11\00:29:34.59
Now Radim was also
the President of the
00:29:34.60\00:29:39.22
Czech and Slovak
Chapter of ASI, Europe
00:29:39.23\00:29:43.37
and as such we work
very closely together.
00:29:43.38\00:29:46.79
Radim has made the
Czech chapter one of
00:29:46.80\00:29:50.23
the most
successful in ASI, Europe.
00:29:50.24\00:29:54.70
We are very grateful to him.
00:29:54.71\00:29:56.77
You started up,
what you call a civic.
00:29:56.78\00:30:00.68
Civic organization,
say organization Maranatha
00:30:00.69\00:30:05.02
and you've had terrific
success with that tell us
00:30:05.03\00:30:08.22
a little bit about
it, Radim. I've got some
00:30:08.23\00:30:13.12
contract in my heart
with God, when I believe
00:30:13.13\00:30:17.32
in Jesus and I decided
accept of tithes to some
00:30:17.33\00:30:23.49
percentage level of
my income to support
00:30:23.50\00:30:25.95
of his Lord. So you
pay your tithe first
00:30:25.96\00:30:29.10
and then you've promised.
00:30:29.11\00:30:30.51
And God really blessed
our work and after some
00:30:30.52\00:30:33.49
years it was not
possible to manage everything
00:30:33.50\00:30:37.32
through our
commercial campaigning.
00:30:37.33\00:30:39.34
So that's why we
established civil
00:30:39.35\00:30:41.80
organization,
non-profit organization,
00:30:41.81\00:30:43.80
Maranatha, with the
main purpose to support
00:30:43.81\00:30:47.20
our mission and
evangelistic projects
00:30:47.21\00:30:49.64
and we are doing
lot of activities.
00:30:49.65\00:30:53.94
Now I know the
writings of Ellen G. White
00:30:53.95\00:30:57.07
have been a great
inspiration in your life
00:30:57.08\00:30:59.94
and you've wanted
to share that with
00:30:59.95\00:31:02.29
other people. What
have you done about that?
00:31:02.30\00:31:05.50
I spoke very
often about books of
00:31:05.51\00:31:10.80
Ellen White also in my
books because it really
00:31:10.81\00:31:13.69
influenced me and we
also according agreement
00:31:13.70\00:31:18.72
with church,
published thousands and
00:31:18.73\00:31:22.29
thousands Ellen
White books and deliver it
00:31:22.30\00:31:25.06
to all the
bookstores in Czech Republic.
00:31:25.07\00:31:28.40
Yeah, and how many, how
many did they use to sell?
00:31:28.41\00:31:34.26
Just one, just
one significant change
00:31:34.27\00:31:41.75
in our charge
during, we've according
00:31:41.76\00:31:46.30
statistic during two
years sold about 12,000
00:31:46.31\00:31:50.42
books of Ellen
White in our country.
00:31:50.43\00:31:52.93
And when we do
this new printed version
00:31:52.94\00:31:58.88
which was
cheaper, during two months
00:31:58.89\00:32:03.05
we sold 6,000.
That's wonderful, isn't it?
00:32:03.06\00:32:07.37
As well as sharing
Christ you really, really
00:32:07.38\00:32:10.92
do share Christ
in your market place.
00:32:10.93\00:32:13.02
Every single day
you have opportunity
00:32:13.03\00:32:16.47
to speak to somebody, don't you?
00:32:16.48\00:32:18.76
Oh, yes, I have once a
week, we are doing Bible
00:32:18.77\00:32:25.21
study in our
campaigning, also in Maranatha
00:32:25.22\00:32:29.24
and in our houses we
are doing health lecturers
00:32:29.25\00:32:32.93
and spiritual
lecturers Bible studies.
00:32:32.94\00:32:36.41
And you've opened a
vegetarian restaurant
00:32:36.42\00:32:38.72
as well. A few
months ago we opened a
00:32:38.73\00:32:41.63
vegetarian
restaurant in the project,
00:32:41.64\00:32:44.74
the business park
called BB Centrum,
00:32:44.75\00:32:47.14
where it's
working now 9,000 people,
00:32:47.15\00:32:50.09
especially young
people in our country where
00:32:50.10\00:32:53.12
is maybe two sets of the
people like non-believers
00:32:53.13\00:32:58.63
and it can be some way
how to reach the people.
00:32:58.64\00:33:04.95
The restaurant was
opened three months ago
00:33:04.96\00:33:09.40
and everyday it's
full. People who couldn't
00:33:09.41\00:33:14.33
imagine any single, any
single meal without meat.
00:33:14.34\00:33:18.85
Now coming there
nearly everyday. Wonderful.
00:33:18.86\00:33:22.57
Now some years ago
Radim, I am just gonna
00:33:22.58\00:33:25.68
of the subject little
bit. Some years ago when
00:33:25.69\00:33:28.22
I was in America
I brought my husband
00:33:28.23\00:33:30.61
a T-shirt which says;
behind every successful
00:33:30.62\00:33:33.79
man is an exhausted woman.
00:33:33.80\00:33:36.59
Now I know that you
have a wonderful wife
00:33:39.29\00:33:42.50
who has been on
this journey with you,
00:33:42.51\00:33:45.09
Jana, and not
only have you and Jana
00:33:45.10\00:33:49.45
and your son embraced
the love of Jesus Christ
00:33:49.46\00:33:54.36
but your whole family
just by the whole family
00:33:54.37\00:33:57.80
have become
Adventists, haven't they?
00:33:57.81\00:33:59.96
Yes, from my wife
part of family everybody
00:33:59.97\00:34:04.22
accepted Jesus
and were baptized,
00:34:04.23\00:34:06.86
from my father, my
family was Roman Catholic,
00:34:06.87\00:34:12.15
my father died four years ago.
00:34:12.16\00:34:15.64
About short time
before he died he accepted
00:34:15.65\00:34:20.07
also our message
about Sabbath and He's got
00:34:20.08\00:34:24.61
according to James
five chapter, also prayer
00:34:24.62\00:34:27.94
by sick person.
Yes. So we have the hope
00:34:27.95\00:34:31.68
he will be also and
think of the Heaven.
00:34:31.69\00:34:34.14
And that was a
wonderful experience
00:34:34.15\00:34:36.28
by his bedside when he
was anointed, wasn't it?
00:34:36.29\00:34:39.43
Sorry. It was a
wonderful experience
00:34:39.44\00:34:41.48
for you to see
your father anointed and
00:34:41.49\00:34:44.58
receive Jesus
Christ, and as you are saying
00:34:44.59\00:34:50.68
Jana has all her family
are Seventh-day Adventists,
00:34:50.69\00:34:56.08
aren't they? And we
give praising glory to
00:34:56.09\00:34:58.63
God for that. Is
there another story that
00:34:58.64\00:35:01.93
you would like to
share with the people here
00:35:01.94\00:35:04.99
or some advice that
you would give to people
00:35:05.00\00:35:07.60
who maybe or not in big business
00:35:07.61\00:35:10.26
or in little
business about how they should
00:35:10.27\00:35:13.23
conduct, how we all
should conduct our lives?
00:35:13.24\00:35:16.80
So I understood,
I am a business man,
00:35:16.81\00:35:24.20
of course, it's necessary to pay
00:35:24.21\00:35:26.78
the tithes but I
think that it's a very
00:35:26.79\00:35:30.17
important to
understand that everybody what
00:35:30.18\00:35:32.06
we have it's just
temporary, temporary
00:35:32.07\00:35:35.81
gifts from God.
Yes. We are just,
00:35:35.82\00:35:38.37
we are just
manager, not owner so it's a
00:35:38.38\00:35:43.93
very important and I
pray to God to give me
00:35:43.94\00:35:47.41
wisdom to be useful in his work.
00:35:47.42\00:35:51.64
Now in November
you're gonna have
00:35:51.65\00:35:53.55
the Czech
convention, what do you hope to
00:35:53.56\00:35:58.75
achieve through ASI in
Czech and Slovak Republics?
00:35:58.76\00:36:04.66
We are very glad that
Czech and Slovak's ASI
00:36:04.67\00:36:09.31
is working. We will
have from 2004 and the said
00:36:09.32\00:36:15.02
convention this year
and we supported last year
00:36:15.03\00:36:19.36
about 20 project in
our country and still more
00:36:19.37\00:36:22.85
and more people are
coming to this convention
00:36:22.86\00:36:25.48
so we hope that gospel
in our country of Jonas
00:36:25.49\00:36:32.67
will be a really
spread to the people.
00:36:32.68\00:36:35.39
Yeah. And we know
from all that you've
00:36:35.40\00:36:38.89
told us Radim that
the devil puts obstacles
00:36:38.90\00:36:44.30
in your way. How
do you deal with that?
00:36:44.31\00:36:48.00
Are you ever discouraged?
I think it's a very, very
00:36:48.01\00:36:53.15
important take it to
you mind this because
00:36:53.16\00:36:58.05
if you would
like anything for God
00:36:58.06\00:37:00.49
you will be always
touched by His attacks
00:37:00.50\00:37:05.38
but we have much more Savior.
00:37:05.39\00:37:07.66
It's very much
more powerful Savior.
00:37:07.67\00:37:10.93
It's important to rely
on God, to rely on Jesus
00:37:10.94\00:37:16.65
because he can help
us anytime to go through
00:37:16.66\00:37:21.14
the obstacles, to
go through the trials.
00:37:21.15\00:37:23.35
And my favorite verse
it's First Corinthians
00:37:23.36\00:37:27.41
10:13 where is I
written about it and according
00:37:27.42\00:37:33.90
to how I could
meet my Lord Jesus I can
00:37:33.91\00:37:40.97
understand that
His love to any person
00:37:40.98\00:37:45.86
it's much higher than
it's our ability to love.
00:37:45.87\00:37:49.14
Yeah. His ideas
about us, about our nearest
00:37:49.15\00:37:53.88
closet person are
much higher than ours.
00:37:53.89\00:37:57.18
And such a God is
possible to trust your
00:37:57.19\00:38:01.76
whole heart. I can
trust such a God much more
00:38:01.77\00:38:06.61
than myself. And this
has giving you the ability,
00:38:06.62\00:38:09.75
I know from reading your book.
00:38:09.76\00:38:11.67
It's given you
the ability to forgive
00:38:11.68\00:38:13.98
those who have
done things against you,
00:38:13.99\00:38:16.63
hasn't it? It's also
just gifts of God because
00:38:16.64\00:38:21.72
if I can compare my
like non-believer person
00:38:21.73\00:38:27.04
and now I would like
non-believer definitely
00:38:27.05\00:38:31.92
not act like now.
Yeah, so it's again
00:38:31.93\00:38:36.64
just grace of God, nothing else.
00:38:36.65\00:38:38.64
Right, early on
in your business,
00:38:38.65\00:38:41.44
you started the
business with two other people
00:38:41.45\00:38:44.20
and was it two or
three other people
00:38:44.21\00:38:46.60
and at one time you
almost lost your business,
00:38:46.61\00:38:50.57
didn't you? Yes, it was in 1999,
00:38:50.58\00:38:54.53
it wasn't also easy
time but it was after a year,
00:38:54.54\00:39:00.20
it was one year
after our conversion,
00:39:00.21\00:39:03.39
it was one year also
after losing our first
00:39:03.40\00:39:07.79
son that time I
don't have company,
00:39:07.80\00:39:10.87
I don't have any
child with my wife
00:39:10.88\00:39:13.27
but we totally rely
on God and two weeks
00:39:13.28\00:39:18.56
after our baptism
my company was back.
00:39:18.57\00:39:21.53
It was back, and what
happened just before you,
00:39:21.54\00:39:26.08
you almost lost your company,
00:39:26.09\00:39:27.92
you lost your child,
thinks look very black
00:39:27.93\00:39:31.71
but now you have a
son who is 6 years old,
00:39:31.72\00:39:34.62
yes, a lovely boy Radim, Jr.
00:39:34.63\00:39:36.81
And tell us
what happened in your
00:39:36.82\00:39:39.47
business just before
you came to this convention?
00:39:39.48\00:39:42.79
Just the day when I
depart Prague to this
00:39:42.80\00:39:47.21
convention in Louisville,
we finalize the biggest
00:39:47.22\00:39:51.51
deal in our company
history and thanks to
00:39:51.52\00:39:54.74
God blessing, lets
say our profit was doubled
00:39:54.75\00:39:59.38
when we compare our
first economics numbers
00:39:59.39\00:40:05.60
two years ago. So I
am really grateful also
00:40:05.61\00:40:09.36
to God for his
blessing in our commercial work.
00:40:09.37\00:40:13.23
And so from, a
time when it seemed that
00:40:13.24\00:40:17.74
things were, just
couldn't just be blacker,
00:40:17.75\00:40:21.21
God has brought you to
this point and you have
00:40:21.22\00:40:24.57
great joy in your
Savior, don't you?
00:40:24.58\00:40:27.22
Yes, I like many person in this,
00:40:27.23\00:40:33.34
I will say everybody
in this convention center,
00:40:33.35\00:40:38.08
I am looking
forward for Kingdom of God.
00:40:38.09\00:40:41.08
Yes. And when we
sing our theme song
00:40:41.09\00:40:44.58
we have this hope, I
know that we share the hope
00:40:44.59\00:40:49.14
that Radim has, that
he will see his son again,
00:40:49.15\00:40:52.73
he will see his
Savior and all of us here in
00:40:52.74\00:40:56.48
the ASI family would
like to thank you Radim
00:40:56.49\00:40:59.33
for sharing your
testimony with us,
00:40:59.34\00:41:01.85
for giving us hope
in Jesus Christ and in
00:41:01.86\00:41:05.97
reminding us that our
God is a powerful God.
00:41:05.98\00:41:11.06
The devil is nothing
to Him. He can survive
00:41:11.07\00:41:15.16
every obstacle and
everything that happens
00:41:15.17\00:41:18.27
in our lives is
according to God's will.
00:41:18.28\00:41:21.49
I know that this is your
believe, it's our belief.
00:41:21.50\00:41:25.22
And together we will
look forward to the time
00:41:25.23\00:41:28.99
when we will see
our Savior face to face.
00:41:29.00\00:41:32.29
Thank you Radim,
for Sharing with us.
00:41:32.30\00:41:34.48
Thank you. Thanks.
00:41:34.49\00:41:36.40
Does Jesus care
when my heart is pained
00:41:55.02\00:42:03.37
Too deeply for mirth and song,
00:42:03.38\00:42:10.14
When the burdens
press, and the cares distress,
00:42:10.15\00:42:17.90
And my way grows weary and long?
00:42:17.91\00:42:25.53
Oh yes, He
cares, I know He cares,
00:42:25.54\00:42:33.79
His heart is
touched with my grief;
00:42:33.80\00:42:40.55
When the ways dreary,
and then nights grows weary
00:42:40.56\00:42:48.62
I know my Savior cares.
00:42:48.63\00:42:56.33
Does Jesus care
when my way is dark
00:42:59.44\00:43:07.29
With a nameless dread and fear?
00:43:07.30\00:43:14.34
When the daylight
fades into deep night shades,
00:43:14.35\00:43:22.09
Does He care enough to be near?
00:43:22.10\00:43:28.64
Oh yes, He
cares, I know He cares,
00:43:28.65\00:43:37.22
His heart is
touched with my grief;
00:43:37.23\00:43:43.76
When the ways weary,
and then nights grows weary
00:43:43.77\00:43:51.63
I know my Savior cares
00:43:51.64\00:43:59.05
Does Jesus care
when I've said "goodbye"
00:44:30.98\00:44:38.83
To the dearest on earth to me,
00:44:38.84\00:44:46.09
When my sad heart aches,
00:44:46.10\00:44:50.10
till it nearly breaks,
00:44:50.11\00:44:53.89
is it all too young does he see.
00:44:53.90\00:45:01.15
Oh yes, He
cares, I know He cares,
00:45:01.16\00:45:08.56
His heart is
touched with my grief;
00:45:08.57\00:45:15.22
When the way's weary,
and then nights grows weary
00:45:15.23\00:45:22.96
I know my Savior cares
00:45:22.97\00:45:29.72
Oh yes, He
cares, I know He cares,
00:45:29.73\00:45:37.34
His heart is
touched with my grief;
00:45:37.35\00:45:44.03
When the way's weary,
and then nights grows weary
00:45:44.04\00:45:51.94
I know my Savior cares
I know my Savior cares.
00:45:51.95\00:46:13.87
Amen. Amen.
00:46:19.64\00:46:20.98
Truly our God does
care and what a marvelous
00:46:27.50\00:46:32.60
testimony we have
just heard of how great
00:46:32.61\00:46:36.51
our God is, and what
he can do for the biggest
00:46:36.52\00:46:42.09
and the smallest of
His children here on earth.
00:46:42.10\00:46:45.13
Just before we go to
our prayer time I would
00:46:47.28\00:46:50.63
like to bring to your
attention of a few things
00:46:50.64\00:46:53.13
that God has brought to
my attention this morning.
00:46:53.14\00:46:56.37
I believe that our
God would like for us to
00:46:59.02\00:47:03.21
confess to Him
what our great needs are
00:47:03.22\00:47:08.66
and to repent of our evil ways,
00:47:08.67\00:47:15.22
and to bring praise
and honor and glory to Him
00:47:16.87\00:47:22.22
in our lives. But
you know He can only do
00:47:22.23\00:47:25.53
that if we allow Him
to clean us up inside
00:47:25.54\00:47:30.74
and out and then to fill
us with His sweet spirit.
00:47:30.75\00:47:35.77
And this morning I
would like to confess that
00:47:37.12\00:47:41.69
I've had other Gods. It
might have been in time,
00:47:41.70\00:47:47.41
it might have been in
the talents that he has
00:47:47.42\00:47:49.69
given me or my
home or my spouse or my
00:47:49.70\00:47:54.53
children or my
precious grand children,
00:47:54.54\00:47:58.15
or even in the
profession, you know,
00:48:00.63\00:48:03.27
we can have all
kinds of Gods that take us
00:48:03.28\00:48:07.04
the way from our
God, our Heavenly Father
00:48:07.05\00:48:11.80
and I believe as I
studied over the churches,
00:48:14.32\00:48:19.03
the seven
churches of Revelation and
00:48:19.04\00:48:22.65
we are that first
we lost our first love
00:48:22.66\00:48:27.74
and we allow thoughts,
teachings and doctrines
00:48:27.75\00:48:31.56
to come in or ways
of worship that really
00:48:31.57\00:48:36.38
don't honor our
God. Are we lukewarm,
00:48:36.39\00:48:41.01
all we increase in
goods, you know God
00:48:43.90\00:48:47.60
is so good to His
earthy family, so very good
00:48:47.61\00:48:52.61
and we have
almost gone to the place
00:48:54.50\00:48:56.89
where we need nothing,
at least in our country
00:48:56.90\00:49:00.12
you know, do we not
know that we are wretched
00:49:01.26\00:49:05.62
and miserable,
poor, blind and naked.
00:49:05.63\00:49:08.58
Do you know it's so
easy to forget those things.
00:49:08.59\00:49:12.65
But this morning I
believe that God is
00:49:13.87\00:49:18.38
standing at our heart
door and He is knocking
00:49:18.39\00:49:22.16
and He says if anyone
of you will just listen
00:49:22.17\00:49:27.85
and open your
heart I will come in.
00:49:27.86\00:49:30.48
This morning we
want to pray that we'll
00:49:32.05\00:49:34.71
have ears to hear
and hearts that will
00:49:34.72\00:49:37.58
open up to Him. And
just before we go to our
00:49:37.59\00:49:41.21
needs and to pray
and I am going to invite
00:49:41.22\00:49:43.88
you I know it's not
comfortable for some
00:49:43.89\00:49:45.99
of you to kneel but
if you can and would
00:49:46.00\00:49:48.98
like you are
welcome to kneel with me.
00:49:48.99\00:49:52.87
I would like to
read Jeremiah 29:11-13;
00:49:52.88\00:49:58.90
For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
00:49:58.91\00:50:03.27
saith the Lord, thoughts
of peace and not of evil,
00:50:03.28\00:50:08.72
to give you an expected end.
00:50:08.73\00:50:11.22
God had an
expected end for Radim.
00:50:11.23\00:50:15.54
God has an expected
end for each one us,
00:50:15.55\00:50:19.26
His children here on earth.
00:50:19.27\00:50:21.15
Then shall ye call
upon me and ye shall go
00:50:21.16\00:50:25.43
and pray unto me, and I
00:50:25.44\00:50:27.64
will harken unto you.
00:50:27.65\00:50:29.85
And ye shall seek
me and find me when
00:50:29.86\00:50:33.48
ye shall search for
me, with all your hearts.
00:50:33.49\00:50:36.49
Let's kneel and search God this
00:50:36.50\00:50:38.68
morning with all our hearts.
00:50:38.69\00:50:41.23
His promised that He will give
00:50:41.24\00:50:44.74
us what we ask in
his name, believing.
00:50:44.75\00:50:50.05
