Welcome to the 3ABN
Spring Camp Meeting:
00:00:41.40\00:00:44.61
The Three Angels' Messages.
00:00:44.81\00:00:47.21
Hello and welcome to
3ABN Spring Camp Meeting.
00:00:49.44\00:00:52.48
We call it Spring
but we're here in June
00:00:52.88\00:00:54.95
so we're soon to be Summer.
It was 94 degrees out today
00:00:55.15\00:00:58.09
so I thought it was
Summer but they say it's Spring.
00:00:58.29\00:01:00.56
I'll go along with that.
00:01:00.76\00:01:02.09
How ya'll doin' here
in the audience tonight?
00:01:02.12\00:01:03.93
Great! Any visitors here?
Let's here you clap your hand
00:01:04.13\00:01:07.66
if you're a visitor.
00:01:07.86\00:01:10.07
Wow... that's almost everybody!
00:01:10.93\00:01:14.34
That's almost everybody.
We're so glad that you came
00:01:14.74\00:01:17.11
and we were talking about
we have people as far away as
00:01:17.31\00:01:19.11
Pakistan. We know London.
00:01:19.31\00:01:20.84
Any other
countries? I know Bahamas.
00:01:21.04\00:01:22.64
There's folks from literally
all over. That's kind of
00:01:23.04\00:01:25.31
the way heaven...
Australia! Russia!
00:01:25.51\00:01:28.38
Panama. OK. That's
kind of the way... Where?
00:01:28.58\00:01:31.79
Oh Texas. Yeah,
that's another country!
00:01:31.99\00:01:34.96
That's another... Shh.
Don't tell them. They think
00:01:35.16\00:01:38.59
they have their own country
there. Just let them say that.
00:01:38.79\00:01:42.30
That's fine. Lanny
Wolfe's from Houston.
00:01:42.50\00:01:45.93
Right? All right. A
Texan himself there.
00:01:46.13\00:01:48.77
All right. So we're so thankful
that you allow us to come
00:01:49.17\00:01:52.91
into your home as you
do each and every day.
00:01:53.11\00:01:54.94
Thank you for joining us here.
00:01:55.14\00:01:56.48
We're having a great time with
the folk that are coming here
00:01:56.64\00:01:59.78
from across the
country and around the world.
00:01:59.98\00:02:02.18
And I'm blessed
because I meet many of you
00:02:02.58\00:02:06.86
as we're walking. And they have
such tremendous testimonies -
00:02:07.06\00:02:09.89
um-hmm - that it's just amazing.
00:02:10.09\00:02:11.56
So tonight what we're
going to do this first hour
00:02:11.76\00:02:13.66
we're going to hear some music,
00:02:13.96\00:02:16.60
Marietta's going
to be singing for us
00:02:16.80\00:02:19.10
and Lanny accompanying her.
00:02:19.30\00:02:20.64
And I think Tammy,
you're going to be singing
00:02:20.67\00:02:22.34
and Pastor Murray and Bro. Tim.
00:02:22.54\00:02:24.64
And we've got the NAPS group.
Anybody know the NAPS group
00:02:24.84\00:02:27.84
from Oakwood?
They do a great job.
00:02:28.04\00:02:29.98
They're here tonight,
and they're going to come up
00:02:30.18\00:02:32.45
and give some testimony.
00:02:32.65\00:02:34.02
And so we have a couple of
surprise ones that we're gonna
00:02:34.22\00:02:37.35
bring up also. So we're
going to have a great time.
00:02:37.55\00:02:39.85
Then after that we're going
to have some great sermons...
00:02:40.06\00:02:41.96
some great spiritual food.
So I don't know about ya'll
00:02:42.16\00:02:44.83
but I'm blessed, and I think
we ought to sing something.
00:02:45.03\00:02:48.20
Tim, what can we sing here?
00:02:48.40\00:02:49.83
He Hideth My Soul? He Hideth My
Soul. You all know that do you?
00:02:50.03\00:02:52.93
A wonderful Savior
is Jesus, my Lord...
00:02:53.13\00:02:56.84
let's sing it together.
00:02:57.24\00:02:59.17
You guys on the tele-
prompter... They can put it up
00:02:59.37\00:03:01.74
to help you.
00:03:01.94\00:03:03.28
Wow! I don't know what
all words we were singing
00:04:17.09\00:04:19.62
but those were
different words than I've heard.
00:04:19.82\00:04:22.22
I stuck with the
words that I know
00:04:22.42\00:04:23.79
from those I saw
on the teleprompter.
00:04:23.99\00:04:25.73
I'm just going from back...
You know, I remember SS class
00:04:25.93\00:04:29.53
when I was 10 or 12
so I stuck with those.
00:04:29.73\00:04:31.43
So whatever
words you want to sing.
00:04:31.63\00:04:33.74
But isn't it a privilege
to serve a God that no matter
00:04:33.94\00:04:37.61
what happens we know that He
covers us. Yes! That's right!
00:04:37.81\00:04:40.64
He covers us. I
think about Heidi.
00:04:40.84\00:04:43.88
Years ago a man came.
00:04:45.38\00:04:48.92
He was a carpenter, but he
assisted in an evangelistic
00:04:49.12\00:04:52.42
series right here in West
Frankfort outside of town.
00:04:52.62\00:04:54.66
And I asked him night after
night, 'cause I was a carpenter
00:04:55.46\00:04:58.89
at the time. I said:
"How can you do this?
00:04:59.09\00:05:01.16
Are you just volunteering?
" "I'm just volunteering. "
00:05:01.36\00:05:03.37
And I said: "Why
do you do this? "
00:05:03.77\00:05:05.33
He said: "I'll
tell you a little story.
00:05:05.53\00:05:06.97
When my daughter
Heidi was four years old
00:05:07.17\00:05:09.24
she fell. She was
climbing I think in the garage.
00:05:09.44\00:05:11.57
She fell on the concrete and we
didn't know if she was going to
00:05:11.77\00:05:14.24
live or die. She had
concussion and they put the
00:05:14.44\00:05:17.48
shunt - What do they
call it? stent on her head. "
00:05:17.68\00:05:21.55
And he said "For months or weeks
at least she was in a coma.
00:05:21.85\00:05:25.05
We didn't know what was
going to happen to her. "
00:05:25.25\00:05:27.76
And he said: "We prayed;
we had people anoint her.
00:05:28.16\00:05:30.73
We did
everything we knew how to do
00:05:31.19\00:05:33.23
but the doctor said
just take her home. "
00:05:33.43\00:05:35.26
He said: "One
morning I walked in
00:05:35.46\00:05:37.30
and Heidi was standing
up in bed. Four years old.
00:05:37.50\00:05:41.30
She said:
'Daddy, I'm hungry. ' "
00:05:41.50\00:05:43.47
It scared him so
bad he grabbed her up
00:05:43.67\00:05:45.61
and put clothes on her,
rushed her to the hospital.
00:05:45.81\00:05:48.01
Now... been praying that
she would be healed, right?
00:05:48.88\00:05:51.28
But he's so shocked by it that
he takes her to the hospital.
00:05:51.48\00:05:54.65
So the doctors
say: "She's fine. "
00:05:54.85\00:05:57.29
They took everything off of her.
00:05:57.49\00:05:58.82
We don't know... it's just
what happened. She's normal.
00:05:58.95\00:06:01.76
She's wonderful. So
a little while later
00:06:01.96\00:06:05.96
they went to the mission
field. For thirteen years
00:06:06.16\00:06:08.80
the parents took
Heidi to the mission field.
00:06:09.00\00:06:11.70
So thirteen years later they
came back; she's about 17 or 18
00:06:12.50\00:06:16.30
years old. And there were some
friends of their from the States
00:06:16.50\00:06:20.68
that said: "Heidi,
we've been waiting 13 years
00:06:20.88\00:06:23.24
to ask you a question. "
00:06:23.45\00:06:25.48
Because what Heidi had said...
They said: "We don't know
00:06:25.68\00:06:29.55
what happened to her. "
Four-year-old Heidi had said
00:06:29.75\00:06:32.29
at that time, four years old,
00:06:32.49\00:06:34.16
"Well, during the
night Jesus came in
00:06:34.36\00:06:36.96
and He touched
me with His hand. "
00:06:37.16\00:06:41.53
"He touched me with His hand. "
00:06:41.93\00:06:44.13
Thirteen years later
the friend said: "Heidi,
00:06:44.33\00:06:47.40
we've been wanting to ask
you a question for 13 years.
00:06:47.60\00:06:49.60
We wanted to wait
till we see you in person.
00:06:49.80\00:06:51.87
You said when you
were four years old
00:06:52.27\00:06:54.14
that Jesus came into your room
00:06:54.34\00:06:56.38
and He touched
you with His hand. "
00:06:57.31\00:06:59.31
"Yes. " They said:
"How big was Jesus' hand? "
00:06:59.51\00:07:03.69
Fair question.
00:07:03.89\00:07:05.32
You know what she
said without hesitation?
00:07:05.72\00:07:07.62
"It was big enough to
cover my whole body. "
00:07:09.72\00:07:12.36
Hallelujah! Jesus'
hand is big enough to cover
00:07:13.93\00:07:16.70
every need that
you have tonight. Amen!
00:07:16.90\00:07:19.40
It's our hope and our prayer
that each and every one of us
00:07:19.60\00:07:23.17
will not leave the way we came.
00:07:23.37\00:07:25.14
We'll be drawn closer to Jesus.
00:07:25.34\00:07:26.98
If you've not made Jesus Christ
Lord and Savior of your life,
00:07:27.18\00:07:30.18
it's our prayer that
you do it here tonight.
00:07:30.38\00:07:33.15
Let's take time. Yvonne, would
you say a little prayer for us
00:07:33.35\00:07:36.05
for viewers around the world
00:07:36.25\00:07:37.89
that need the
touch of Jesus' hand?
00:07:38.09\00:07:40.56
Oh Lord, we just praise
Your name because we know
00:07:41.56\00:07:44.86
that You will hide us
behind the cleft of the rock.
00:07:45.06\00:07:48.40
That Your hand is large
enough to cover every problem,
00:07:49.00\00:07:52.57
every situation, every
challenge, everything that
00:07:52.77\00:07:56.20
we confront, Lord,
You can protect us from.
00:07:56.40\00:07:58.97
And we thank you, God,
because we can trust You
00:07:59.17\00:08:01.78
to do that. And so right now,
Lord, there's someone watching
00:08:01.98\00:08:05.35
who really needs
a touch from You.
00:08:05.55\00:08:08.42
Oh God, please...
please step in and touch them.
00:08:08.62\00:08:12.12
Let them know
that You are there;
00:08:12.32\00:08:14.22
let them know
that You will heal;
00:08:14.42\00:08:15.82
let them know that You care.
00:08:16.02\00:08:17.96
And Lord, we will
thank you and praise You...
00:08:18.16\00:08:20.30
we will praise you, Lord,
from the bottoms of our hearts
00:08:20.50\00:08:23.37
because we know that
You are the Almighty God
00:08:23.57\00:08:27.07
who can do anything.
Thank you; we praise You.
00:08:27.27\00:08:31.11
We bless Your name. In
Jesus' name, Amen. Amen.
00:08:31.51\00:08:34.84
All right. At this time we have
a roll that we want to show you.
00:08:35.24\00:08:39.08
It's from President Ted Wilson.
00:08:39.28\00:08:41.65
He was actually
here last week at 3ABN.
00:08:41.85\00:08:43.92
I don't know if any of
you saw the live program
00:08:44.12\00:08:45.85
with Elder
Wilson, but he sent a roll
00:08:46.05\00:08:49.22
for us to play
for you here tonight.
00:08:49.42\00:08:52.09
Welcome to 3ABN
Spring Camp Meeting!
00:08:53.96\00:08:57.20
The Three Angels Broadcasting
Network is a long-standing
00:08:57.40\00:09:01.20
supporting ministry of the
Seventh-day Adventist church.
00:09:01.40\00:09:04.61
And how appropriate it is
that this year's Camp Meeting
00:09:04.81\00:09:08.41
will focus on the
three angels' messages
00:09:08.61\00:09:11.85
of Revelation 14.
00:09:12.05\00:09:13.62
Messages that are
integral to the very foundation
00:09:13.82\00:09:17.12
of the
Seventh-day Adventist church.
00:09:17.32\00:09:19.19
Now speaking about the
foundation of the SDA church
00:09:19.59\00:09:22.59
you might look at me and say:
"Well something's a little bit
00:09:22.79\00:09:25.93
different. " Yes, it is
true I'm growing a beard.
00:09:26.13\00:09:29.70
And the reason for that
is we will be holding our
00:09:30.10\00:09:32.47
Annual Council of
the Executive Committee
00:09:32.67\00:09:35.87
of the General Conference
in Battle Creek, Michigan.
00:09:36.07\00:09:38.91
We're going to be looking
back in order to move forward.
00:09:39.11\00:09:43.58
We're going to be
looking at a past with a future.
00:09:43.98\00:09:47.05
And what an
exciting time it will be
00:09:47.45\00:09:49.98
as we are there
together in Battle Creek
00:09:50.19\00:09:52.59
praising God for His blessings
and looking a little bit
00:09:52.79\00:09:56.99
like our pioneers did
but focusing our attention
00:09:57.19\00:10:01.80
on proclaiming the
three angels' messages.
00:10:02.00\00:10:05.00
You see, those three
angels' messages are a message
00:10:05.40\00:10:08.30
of warning to the
inhabitants of this world
00:10:08.50\00:10:11.67
that the hour of
God's judgment is at hand.
00:10:11.87\00:10:15.01
I just preached
this precious message
00:10:15.78\00:10:18.11
in Japan... in Tokyo. I
want to tell you: God is
00:10:18.31\00:10:21.12
blessing His church
all across the world
00:10:21.32\00:10:24.15
and all across Japan.
00:10:24.35\00:10:26.45
I could relate
more to you about it,
00:10:26.86\00:10:28.79
but I want to tell you the
three angels' messages are being
00:10:28.99\00:10:31.39
proclaimed everywhere. You
see, they reaffirm creation
00:10:31.59\00:10:35.73
and God's holy Sabbath
00:10:35.93\00:10:37.63
and they give an urgent
call for His people to come out
00:10:37.83\00:10:41.20
of Babylon and join
God's commandment-keeping
00:10:41.40\00:10:44.31
remnant church.
Brothers and sisters,
00:10:44.71\00:10:47.28
I believe we all sense
the urgency of our time.
00:10:47.48\00:10:51.48
Our earth groans under the
burden of thousands of years
00:10:51.68\00:10:55.35
of sin. And surely
this planet and its people
00:10:55.55\00:10:59.25
have never felt such political,
economic, and cultural
00:10:59.45\00:11:03.02
pressures.
Jesus is coming again.
00:11:03.22\00:11:05.96
But before He does we
have a tremendous work to do
00:11:06.16\00:11:10.03
through the power
of the Holy Spirit.
00:11:10.23\00:11:12.13

Church volume 9 page 117

work of God in this earth

00:11:20.68\00:11:23.71
comprising our church membership
00:11:23.91\00:11:26.01
rally to the work
and unite their efforts
00:11:26.21\00:11:29.22

"We have received the light
of the three angels' messages.

We need now to come
decidedly to the front
00:11:41.86\00:11:45.10
and take our position
on the side of truth. "
00:11:45.30\00:11:48.87
God is calling each of us today
00:11:49.74\00:11:51.84
to reach the millions of
souls who are desperately
00:11:52.04\00:11:54.78
searching for
something to hold onto.
00:11:54.98\00:11:57.31
Something of eternal value.
00:11:57.51\00:11:59.18
Something that will
fill their hearts with hope.
00:11:59.38\00:12:02.38
They sense that something
of enormous significance
00:12:02.95\00:12:06.12
is about to take place.
00:12:06.32\00:12:07.79
Our Lord's desire
is for us to proclaim
00:12:08.19\00:12:11.03
these messages
throughout the world with power.
00:12:11.23\00:12:13.96
We must preach and
teach about Jesus Christ
00:12:14.36\00:12:17.77
and His righteousness
and they will respond
00:12:17.97\00:12:20.64
when they hear the truth.
00:12:20.84\00:12:22.60
I thank God for each of
you who have decided to join
00:12:23.00\00:12:25.87
this great Advent movement.
00:12:26.07\00:12:28.01
I believe that as we live
through the great and final
00:12:28.21\00:12:31.31
events of earth's history
00:12:31.51\00:12:32.91
we need to study our Bibles
and the Spirit of Prophecy
00:12:33.11\00:12:36.02
as never before. To
earnestly pray to the Lord
00:12:36.22\00:12:39.25
for guidance
personally and as a church.
00:12:39.45\00:12:42.09
I want to commend the
supporting ministry work
00:12:42.62\00:12:45.33
of Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:12:45.53\00:12:47.90
Over the past three decades
they have in many many areas
00:12:48.30\00:12:52.93
and many ways spread
God's Word in a powerful way.
00:12:53.13\00:12:56.74
My sincere wish for all of you
is that the Lord will bless you
00:12:57.04\00:13:00.91
abundantly
during this Camp Meeting
00:13:01.11\00:13:03.18
and give all of you at
3ABN the continued grace
00:13:03.58\00:13:06.95
to live up to your ministry's
name and God's high calling.
00:13:07.15\00:13:11.75
Be part of Total
Member Involvement:
00:13:11.95\00:13:14.82
everyone doing
something for Jesus.
00:13:15.02\00:13:17.26
Thank you 3ABN for what you
are doing to help God's work.
00:13:17.66\00:13:21.70
Let's also beseech
our Lord's blessing
00:13:22.10\00:13:25.30
through prayer as
we move forward boldly
00:13:25.50\00:13:28.74
proclaiming the
three angels' messages
00:13:28.94\00:13:31.21
united in spirit and in
the saving grace of our Lord
00:13:31.61\00:13:35.44
Jesus Christ. May God bless
you at this Camp Meeting...
00:13:35.64\00:13:39.88
at your Camp Meeting. Maranatha!
00:13:40.08\00:13:42.38
Amen! Thank you Elder
Wilson. We appreciate that
00:13:43.65\00:13:46.19
so much and his support of 3ABN.
00:13:46.39\00:13:49.02
Well, again we have Lanny
Wolfe and Marietta Webster.
00:13:49.22\00:13:52.26
And Lanny has - as
I mentioned earlier -
00:13:52.46\00:13:56.06
been writing songs
for many many years
00:13:56.26\00:13:58.43
and written some... I guess
I can say this... my favorite
00:13:58.63\00:14:02.87
song writer. You're
not supposed to say that
00:14:03.07\00:14:04.77
but for many years
probably... Say it again.
00:14:04.97\00:14:07.24
We followed you for... He
WAS my favorite song writer.
00:14:07.44\00:14:11.08
No... no, he still is.
00:14:12.41\00:14:14.28
And for many many years,
and written... God has used him
00:14:14.48\00:14:17.62
to write some incredible
songs. But I contacted him
00:14:17.82\00:14:21.29
some months ago... maybe around
the end of the year or first
00:14:21.49\00:14:23.69
of the year and I wanted
to know if I could assign him
00:14:23.89\00:14:27.00
some songs. Now Lanny is
not a Seventh-day Adventist...
00:14:27.20\00:14:30.57
has not been
raised in the SDA church
00:14:30.77\00:14:32.80
and neither has Marietta.
00:14:33.00\00:14:34.54
And so they have a background
00:14:34.74\00:14:36.74
that's totally
different than ours.
00:14:36.94\00:14:38.47
But I sense
something: that they love Jesus
00:14:38.67\00:14:40.64
so we're brothers
and sisters together.
00:14:40.84\00:14:43.04
But I asked him... I
said: "Can I assign you to write
00:14:43.45\00:14:45.98
some songs? Our theme is
the three angels' messages
00:14:46.18\00:14:48.78
and would you write on
Revelation and Daniel? "
00:14:49.18\00:14:51.82
What did you say at your
church you do about Daniel?
00:14:52.02\00:14:54.72
What you do every
Sunday when you go to church?
00:14:54.92\00:14:56.73
Well... we don't
talk about Revelation.
00:14:57.26\00:14:59.79
We kind of stick with Psalms and
some of those other passages.
00:15:00.20\00:15:04.83
And so when
Danny assigned this...
00:15:05.03\00:15:07.64
And you go to Acts
and things like that?
00:15:07.94\00:15:09.70
Oh we love Acts. You
said they go to Acts.
00:15:09.90\00:15:11.61
And the gospels...
yes. Revelation? No.
00:15:11.81\00:15:15.08
Said they don't go to
Revelation. So my idea was
00:15:15.28\00:15:17.78
I wonder what would happen
if you just turned him loose
00:15:17.98\00:15:20.32
and he had an assignment
where he had to study it
00:15:20.52\00:15:22.38
day and night,
right? For a few months.
00:15:22.58\00:15:24.19
So what's happened? Have
you learned anything from it?
00:15:24.59\00:15:28.22
I've learned a lot from it.
00:15:28.62\00:15:30.49
Actually I have written
assignment songs before.
00:15:31.49\00:15:34.60
As a matter of
fact, More Than Wonderful
00:15:34.80\00:15:36.33
was an assignment
song. OK. Bob McKenzie said:
00:15:36.53\00:15:38.93
"Why don't you write a
song about Isaiah 9:6? "
00:15:39.13\00:15:41.74
Well that was easy.
00:15:42.14\00:15:43.47
Wonderful, Counselor,
Mighty God. All that was easy.
00:15:43.51\00:15:46.21
And when Danny assigned
passages from Revelation
00:15:47.11\00:15:50.75
I honestly thought "I'm not sure
00:15:51.15\00:15:54.28
I can step up to the
plate and embrace the scripture
00:15:54.48\00:15:59.35
of Revelation and
the message of Revelation
00:15:59.55\00:16:03.06
and have it end well. "
00:16:03.26\00:16:05.39
Because I had been so on
the other side of the coin
00:16:05.79\00:16:09.93
because if you're not careful
you just hear horns and demons
00:16:10.33\00:16:15.57
and beasts and you say: "Whoa!
Let me go back to Psalms. "
00:16:15.77\00:16:19.51
You know? And so he said:
"You need to write something
00:16:19.71\00:16:24.98
around "Come Out
of Her My People. "
00:16:25.18\00:16:28.15
Well that scared me.
00:16:28.55\00:16:30.19
"Come out of HER My people. "
00:16:30.39\00:16:32.82
So I studied, I prayed.
00:16:33.02\00:16:35.82
I would go to bed praying:
"God, I need Your revelation
00:16:36.02\00:16:40.33
on how to write this song. "
00:16:40.53\00:16:42.23
And so I learned so
much. I read commentaries.
00:16:42.63\00:16:46.17
And so I learned about
the fact that Revelation
00:16:46.67\00:16:50.31
talks about Babylon
00:16:50.51\00:16:52.11
and the Old Testament in
Daniel talks about Babylon.
00:16:52.31\00:16:55.44
And so I learned
about the spirit of Babylon
00:16:55.84\00:16:58.25
which is what?
Spiritual, economic, political.
00:16:58.45\00:17:02.28
I learned all of that
00:17:02.48\00:17:03.82
and I still thought:
"God, how can I write a song" -
00:17:03.95\00:17:07.32
He can preach it now -
"that's inspirational? "
00:17:07.52\00:17:08.86
And it wasn't until I got
past "Come out of her My people.
00:17:10.69\00:17:15.56
Do not partake of her sins"
00:17:16.87\00:17:19.77
here's where the turn came.
00:17:19.97\00:17:22.00
"For I'm coming back
for a glorious church. "
00:17:22.20\00:17:26.78
Yes! And when God
anointed my heart and my mind
00:17:26.98\00:17:30.68
with that part of the scripture
00:17:30.88\00:17:33.08
then I thought: "Yeah!
That's what this is all about. "
00:17:33.28\00:17:36.58
All right! It's telling us
about what's going to happen
00:17:36.79\00:17:38.95
to the spirit of
Babylon and Babylon.
00:17:39.15\00:17:41.42
But the point of
Revelation is to remind us
00:17:41.62\00:17:45.19
that we are not
to partake of that
00:17:45.39\00:17:47.36
and that God is coming back
for us... His glorious church.
00:17:47.56\00:17:50.87
It works! I think he's an
Adventist preacher, sounds like.
00:17:51.03\00:17:54.40
Give us... can you? Sometimes
it's hard to do when you're not
00:17:55.77\00:17:58.87
thinking, but maybe the
first verse a little bit
00:17:59.07\00:18:01.18
of the words God gave you.
00:18:01.38\00:18:02.71
I'll try. The shining
jewel of the ancient world,
00:18:02.84\00:18:07.28
Babylon worshiped gods of stone.
00:18:07.58\00:18:10.49
Power and pride were evil twins
00:18:10.99\00:18:14.32
that ruled her heart and throne.
00:18:14.52\00:18:17.46
She was likened to a harlot;
00:18:18.39\00:18:20.43
fornication was in the wine
00:18:21.50\00:18:24.63
that filled the cup
from which she drank
00:18:24.83\00:18:27.64
sins of every kind.
00:18:27.84\00:18:29.40
Those are God's
words. All right.
00:18:29.60\00:18:31.64
Isn't that amazing?
00:18:31.84\00:18:33.17
Lanny told me... he said this:
"I've written hundreds of songs
00:18:34.24\00:18:38.35
but this song... " How'd
you say it? "God took the pen"
00:18:38.55\00:18:41.15
Yes... "from you. "
I mean, those words...
00:18:41.35\00:18:44.09
When I see words
like power and pride
00:18:44.29\00:18:47.82
because that's what Babylon...
Sure. That was characteristic.
00:18:48.02\00:18:50.59
So I read power and pride,
but to put it in a sentence
00:18:50.79\00:18:54.43
that said: "power
and pride were evil twins
00:18:54.63\00:18:58.23
that ruled her heart and throne"
00:18:58.43\00:19:00.47
that's not Lanny
Wolfe... that's God. That's God!
00:19:00.67\00:19:03.51
That's anointing. We're going
to hear some of those songs
00:19:03.71\00:19:06.07
tomorrow night. Wintley
Phipps is singing that song...
00:19:06.27\00:19:08.74
incredible song. But
we want to talk right now
00:19:08.94\00:19:11.11
a moment with Marietta.
00:19:11.31\00:19:12.68
Marietta, you've always
been one of my favorite singers
00:19:12.88\00:19:15.22
for many many years.
Melody thinks the sun rises
00:19:15.42\00:19:18.92
and sets on you and has
since she was a little girl.
00:19:19.12\00:19:21.06
But only got to meet
you in the last few years.
00:19:21.26\00:19:23.26
She has a
tremendous anointing on her.
00:19:23.46\00:19:25.93
Marietta is learning a lot.
00:19:26.13\00:19:27.46
We're learning from each other.
00:19:27.66\00:19:29.00
But you've been
reading a lot of materials
00:19:29.16\00:19:30.80
and you say it's made
some changes in your life.
00:19:31.00\00:19:34.34
And so when you're comfortable
to do it we'll talk about it
00:19:34.74\00:19:38.91
some time. But I'm so
thankful how He's used you
00:19:39.11\00:19:43.31
to reach so many people around
the world for so many years.
00:19:43.51\00:19:46.88
And now you're going to be sing-
ing for us tonight what song?
00:19:47.08\00:19:49.48
Jesus Be The Lord Of All.
00:19:49.98\00:19:52.12
All right. I want to thank
you. I thank God first of all
00:19:52.32\00:19:55.46
for connecting us.
00:19:55.96\00:19:58.16
Thank God for
letting you and Lanny meet
00:19:58.93\00:20:02.66
and then letting
us come as a trio
00:20:03.06\00:20:07.74
and meet Yvonne and
Jill and C. A. Murray
00:20:07.94\00:20:13.34
and all these
wonderful people at 3ABN.
00:20:13.54\00:20:16.85
Oh, it's just... I can't
take the time to tell you how
00:20:17.05\00:20:21.58
much love I feel from all of you
00:20:21.78\00:20:25.15
and especially
from these two up here.
00:20:25.35\00:20:28.06
And I just thank God that
God has put you in our lives.
00:20:28.26\00:20:30.89
And God is
very... He's so smart.
00:20:31.09\00:20:34.20
Sometimes we think we're smart
00:20:34.60\00:20:36.33
but God... He's
got us all "beat. "
00:20:36.73\00:20:39.20
And isn't it
something how He got
00:20:39.40\00:20:42.44
this... Danny Shelton
00:20:42.64\00:20:47.44
to give him an
assignment like that.
00:20:47.94\00:20:50.35
But God had a reason. Yes!
00:20:51.38\00:20:54.12
God is working, and He's
working in this Camp Meeting.
00:20:54.32\00:20:59.72
And that's why I want to
sing Jesus Be The Lord Of All.
00:21:00.42\00:21:03.86
Whenever I was hearing
the message this morning
00:21:04.06\00:21:07.13
that Pastor C. A.
Murray was preaching about
00:21:07.63\00:21:11.00
the judgment, about
the three angels' messages
00:21:11.20\00:21:13.27
and it's too much for
me. I asked him if I could
00:21:13.47\00:21:17.24
read his notes or something.
00:21:17.44\00:21:19.81
You need to get the CD
and listen to that over again
00:21:20.01\00:21:23.98
because he was giving
us a lot of information.
00:21:24.18\00:21:26.25
And we need to
be remembering that
00:21:26.65\00:21:29.32
'cause God is
coming very soon. Amen!
00:21:29.52\00:21:32.05
All right. Thank
you so much. Thank you!
00:21:32.35\00:21:35.06
As I was sitting there I thought
"Oh if they would ask me to sing
00:21:36.76\00:21:42.73
I feel like I would sing
00:21:43.13\00:21:45.23
Jesus, be the Lord of
all the kingdoms of my heart.
00:21:46.43\00:21:50.31
I want to be
ready when Jesus comes.
00:21:50.71\00:21:53.64
I want to know what the things
are that we need to be doing
00:21:53.84\00:21:58.28
right now because like he
taught us today in the sermon
00:21:58.48\00:22:02.52
there are no "do-overs. "
00:22:02.72\00:22:04.35
You get one chance.
00:22:04.75\00:22:06.09
And so I want
everything in my life
00:22:06.49\00:22:08.52
as God is judging His church
00:22:08.92\00:22:12.69
I want everything
to be right with God
00:22:13.09\00:22:16.97
more than anything else.
00:22:17.37\00:22:19.20
And so we have to put
away all the distractions
00:22:19.40\00:22:22.60
that we have in this world.
00:22:22.80\00:22:24.14
It doesn't matter if
it's family or whatever.
00:22:24.47\00:22:27.94
We've got to get to
where it's just a me and God
00:22:28.34\00:22:31.91
situation that we're
focused on all the time.
00:22:32.61\00:22:35.75
Every day that we get up:
"What does God want me to do
00:22:35.95\00:22:39.02
today? " And I want
Him to make my heart right.
00:22:39.22\00:22:42.86
In this song it
says: In my heart
00:22:43.26\00:22:47.10
are kingdoms
00:22:47.40\00:22:49.50
of a world that's all my own.
00:22:50.23\00:22:55.30
Kingdoms that are only seen
00:22:56.00\00:23:00.08
by myself
00:23:00.48\00:23:02.31
and God alone.
00:23:02.71\00:23:06.82
In the past when I
tried to rule my world
00:23:07.12\00:23:13.09
it just seemed to fall apart.
00:23:13.29\00:23:18.79
So please, Jesus
00:23:19.56\00:23:22.46
be the Lord of all...
00:23:22.86\00:23:27.14
all the kingdoms
00:23:27.54\00:23:29.84
of my heart.
00:23:30.24\00:23:33.98
Jesus be
00:23:34.88\00:23:38.01
the Lord of all,
00:23:38.21\00:23:40.88
Jesus be
00:23:41.52\00:23:44.69
the Lord of all,
00:23:44.89\00:23:48.49
Jesus be
00:23:48.89\00:23:51.19
the Lord of all
00:23:51.39\00:23:55.13
the kingdoms
00:23:55.33\00:23:57.23
of my heart.
00:23:57.63\00:24:02.17
I guess I only fooled myself
00:24:03.47\00:24:07.21
for I said I had yielded all.
00:24:08.18\00:24:12.88
But in a secret
corner of my heart
00:24:13.58\00:24:17.42
was a kingdom that did not fall.
00:24:18.29\00:24:23.19
That's what God can show
us in meetings like this.
00:24:23.39\00:24:25.93
He'll show us what
that one thing is that
00:24:26.33\00:24:28.13
is hindering us and
we need to get rid of it.
00:24:28.53\00:24:32.27
We need to separate
ourselves from anything
00:24:33.07\00:24:35.44
that would keep us
from pleasing Him 100%.
00:24:35.64\00:24:38.84
We've got to be
ready when He comes.
00:24:39.24\00:24:41.31
I guess I only fooled myself
for I said I had yielded all.
00:24:42.38\00:24:47.55
But in a secret
corner of my heart
00:24:47.95\00:24:51.42
was a kingdom that did not fall.
00:24:51.72\00:24:55.76
But I surrender now;
00:24:56.36\00:25:00.20
make my heart Your throne.
00:25:00.60\00:25:04.77
Rule its kingdoms
00:25:05.17\00:25:07.34
great and small.
00:25:07.74\00:25:11.84
For if You're not Lord
00:25:12.24\00:25:16.41
of everything
00:25:16.81\00:25:20.72
then You're not Lord
00:25:21.12\00:25:24.92
at all.
00:25:25.12\00:25:28.62
Jesus, be
00:25:29.02\00:25:31.86
the Lord of
all... Can you sing that?
00:25:32.26\00:25:35.76
Jesus, be
00:25:36.06\00:25:38.93
the Lord of all,
00:25:39.13\00:25:42.64
Jesus, be
00:25:43.04\00:25:45.84
the Lord of all
00:25:46.04\00:25:49.34
the kingdoms of
00:25:49.54\00:25:52.81
my heart. Now let's say:
00:25:53.01\00:25:56.18
Jesus, I surrender
00:25:56.38\00:26:01.69
all,
00:26:01.89\00:26:03.22
Jesus, I
00:26:03.26\00:26:06.29
surrender all,
00:26:06.49\00:26:09.60
Lord Jesus, I
00:26:09.80\00:26:13.17
surrender all
00:26:13.37\00:26:16.91
the kingdoms of
00:26:17.21\00:26:20.74
my heart.
00:26:20.94\00:26:23.65
For if You're not Lord
00:26:24.05\00:26:27.68
of everything
00:26:27.98\00:26:31.12
then You're
00:26:31.52\00:26:34.52
not Lord
00:26:34.72\00:26:37.86
at all.
00:26:38.26\00:26:42.86
Gotta get ready,
saints. God bless you.
00:26:44.70\00:26:47.27
Amen.
00:26:47.47\00:26:49.77
Wasn't that beautiful? Amen!
00:26:58.98\00:27:01.38
That is the sweetest lady.
00:27:01.78\00:27:03.28
When I was young and growin' up
00:27:03.69\00:27:05.92
the Lanny Wolfe trio
were like movie stars to me.
00:27:06.12\00:27:09.22
They went in the house
all the time... their music...
00:27:10.73\00:27:13.96
and we learned so
much southern gospel
00:27:14.16\00:27:17.00
and southern gospel songs, and
they're just fantastic people.
00:27:17.20\00:27:22.40
How many of you
- or is I just me?
00:27:23.61\00:27:27.44
that gets so
overwhelmed sometimes with life
00:27:27.64\00:27:31.45
that you don't know what to do?
00:27:31.65\00:27:33.58
That you're
just beside yourself.
00:27:33.98\00:27:35.98
I hope I'm not the only one.
00:27:36.89\00:27:38.69
That's the way the last
few weeks have been for me.
00:27:40.22\00:27:43.53
There's been so
many things going on
00:27:43.73\00:27:45.49
and I've just felt overwhelmed.
00:27:45.69\00:27:48.40
And I've cried a few times
thinking I'm never going to get
00:27:48.60\00:27:51.40
things done... I'm
never going to be able to...
00:27:51.60\00:27:53.20
My son had surgery
yesterday in St. Louis.
00:27:53.60\00:27:56.14
He had back
surgery... fusion surgery.
00:27:56.34\00:27:58.11
We had a friend a few
weeks ago that had surgery -
00:27:58.51\00:28:01.48
the same exact surgery -
and there was a mistake made.
00:28:01.68\00:28:06.55
Things went wrong
and he lost his leg.
00:28:06.95\00:28:11.19
And I have been so
burdened for him and his wife.
00:28:12.52\00:28:15.82
He was in a coma for 9
days and when he woke up
00:28:16.76\00:28:19.76
he thought he'd woke
up from back surgery.
00:28:19.96\00:28:21.76
And he had been under
for 9 days and lost his leg
00:28:22.36\00:28:25.87
and had to deal with
that when he woke up.
00:28:26.07\00:28:28.27
So my son had the same yesterday
00:28:28.67\00:28:30.87
so we did a lot of praying.
00:28:31.07\00:28:32.41
We knew that was a
freak thing that happened
00:28:32.44\00:28:34.48
but anyway, he
came through. He's fine.
00:28:34.68\00:28:38.85
He's in a lot of
pain but he'd doing good,
00:28:39.05\00:28:40.38
and I thank the Lord for that.
00:28:40.52\00:28:41.85
But when I became overwhelmed
00:28:42.28\00:28:44.72
a dear friend...
She said: "Tammy,
00:28:45.79\00:28:48.76
when you can't cope
all you do is you say
00:28:48.96\00:28:52.63
'Lord, I can't. All these things
are laid out in front of me
00:28:52.83\00:28:56.46
but I can't do them all in
my humanness and in my weakness.
00:28:56.87\00:29:00.64
So Lord, I'm telling You now
00:29:01.04\00:29:03.20
without You I can't do it.
So I'm just putting it on You
00:29:03.41\00:29:06.84
and I'm sayin' work it out
00:29:07.04\00:29:09.01
because I can't
work it out myself. ' "
00:29:09.21\00:29:11.55
And you know, I did that
00:29:11.95\00:29:14.08
and the Lord has been
with me all this week.
00:29:14.28\00:29:17.29
Little by little the
things have gotten done.
00:29:17.49\00:29:19.85
And here I am tonight,
and I didn't think I would be.
00:29:20.26\00:29:23.63
But here I am, and so
I praise His name for it.
00:29:24.03\00:29:28.23
Jesus,
00:29:36.20\00:29:37.64
You're the center of my joy.
00:29:37.84\00:29:43.65
All that's good and perfect
00:29:44.41\00:29:47.92
comes from You.
00:29:48.12\00:29:51.69
You're the heart
of my contentment,
00:29:52.42\00:29:56.69
hope for all I do.
00:29:56.89\00:30:00.56
Jesus,
00:30:00.96\00:30:02.30
You're the center of my joy.
00:30:02.66\00:30:07.87
When I've lost my direction
00:30:09.10\00:30:13.04
You're the compass for my way.
00:30:13.24\00:30:16.48
You're the fire and the light
00:30:16.68\00:30:19.08
when nights are dark and cold.
00:30:19.48\00:30:24.09
In sadness You're the laughter
00:30:24.89\00:30:28.79
that shatters all my fear.
00:30:28.99\00:30:32.39
And when I'm all alone
00:30:32.59\00:30:35.23
Your hand is there to hold.
00:30:35.43\00:30:40.00
And I say Jesus,
00:30:40.20\00:30:42.74
You're the center of my joy.
00:30:43.14\00:30:48.51
All that's good and perfect
00:30:49.31\00:30:52.25
comes from You.
00:30:52.65\00:30:56.75
You're the heart
of my contentment,
00:30:57.15\00:31:01.22
hope for all I do.
00:31:01.42\00:31:05.09
Jesus, You're
the center of my joy.
00:31:05.49\00:31:11.30
You're why I find pleasure
00:31:13.64\00:31:17.61
in the simple things of life.
00:31:17.77\00:31:21.08
You're the music
00:31:21.48\00:31:23.45
in the meadows and the streams.
00:31:23.65\00:31:28.45
You're the
voices of the children
00:31:28.85\00:31:33.15
in our families
and in our homes.
00:31:33.36\00:31:36.83
You're the source and the finish
00:31:37.23\00:31:40.03
of my highest dreams.
00:31:40.23\00:31:44.63
I say: "Jesus, You're the center
00:31:47.14\00:31:50.11
of my joy. "
00:31:50.51\00:31:54.84
All that's good and perfect
00:31:55.14\00:31:58.31
comes from You.
00:31:58.71\00:32:02.98
You're the heart
of my contentment,
00:32:03.39\00:32:07.59
hope for all I do.
00:32:07.79\00:32:11.79
Jesus, You're the center
00:32:12.19\00:32:15.40
of my joy...
00:32:15.60\00:32:19.30
Jesus,
00:32:20.24\00:32:22.07
You're the center
00:32:22.27\00:32:24.34
of my joy.
00:32:24.54\00:32:30.51
Amen!
00:32:35.38\00:32:39.25
Thank you Tammy; thank you Tim.
00:32:39.45\00:32:41.06
Tim and Tammy... I
never thought about that.
00:32:41.26\00:32:43.22
There you go. T and T he says.
00:32:43.43\00:32:45.76
No, it's already
taken. All right.
00:32:45.96\00:32:48.03
It's our privilege to come up
here. We'd like to introduce...
00:32:48.43\00:32:50.87
Yvonne, why don't you introduce
00:32:51.07\00:32:52.53
our sister? She
is indeed our sister
00:32:52.73\00:32:56.27
from the Bahamas.
This is Cleola Pinder.
00:32:56.47\00:32:59.84
She is the administrator
- which is like the mayor -
00:33:00.04\00:33:03.78
or commissioner - or
commissioner of Long Island,
00:33:03.98\00:33:06.28
Bahamas and she is
a sister in the Lord.
00:33:06.48\00:33:09.38
An Adventist sister in the
Lord - all right - as well.
00:33:09.58\00:33:12.75
Well, we want to talk
about that for just a moment
00:33:12.95\00:33:15.09
because you were born and raised
in a different church, right?
00:33:15.49\00:33:19.73
Yes. Tell us a little about it.
00:33:20.13\00:33:22.16
Well, I gave my life to the
Lord when I was 12 years old.
00:33:22.66\00:33:26.20
My parents are divorced,
and so it was very traumatic
00:33:26.60\00:33:29.70
for me. And so I used
to talk to the Lord a lot.
00:33:29.90\00:33:32.81
And I went with my grandparents.
00:33:33.01\00:33:36.48
My grandfather was a Baptist
minister in charge of the
00:33:36.68\00:33:39.31
churches on one of
the islands for 40 years.
00:33:39.51\00:33:43.02
All my uncles are pastors.
00:33:43.42\00:33:45.35
My mom who got re-married,
she got married to an Anglican
00:33:45.95\00:33:49.02
priest. Two of my aunts
got married to ministers,
00:33:49.22\00:33:52.49
so I'm
"trenched" in the Baptist...
00:33:52.69\00:33:56.33
But when I was
twelve I said to the Lord:
00:33:56.73\00:34:01.07
"No matter how successful I
become and no matter how far
00:34:01.47\00:34:04.21
I go never let my hand go. "
00:34:04.41\00:34:06.71
And He has truly been
faithful to me from then
00:34:07.11\00:34:10.98
until now. That
was 45 years ago. Amen!
00:34:11.18\00:34:14.68
And so I love the Lord. I was
always searching for the truth,
00:34:14.88\00:34:18.65
and one day I
asked my Baptist pastor
00:34:19.05\00:34:22.52
about Sabbath... you
know, what day was the Sabbath.
00:34:22.92\00:34:26.29
And he said: "Well,
Saturday is the Sabbath. "
00:34:27.03\00:34:30.37
I said: "Well why do
we worship on Sunday? "
00:34:30.57\00:34:32.03
He said: "Well, it
was the resurrection. "
00:34:32.63\00:34:35.97
And so that kind of stuck
with me. So for five years
00:34:36.37\00:34:39.11
I was observing the
Sabbath but not really observing
00:34:39.51\00:34:42.64
because when you don't
know you still attend...
00:34:42.84\00:34:44.38
You know, I didn't really attend
the church, I just stayed home
00:34:44.58\00:34:46.85
basically. And so
I would watch 3ABN
00:34:47.05\00:34:50.19
from time to time.
And then it had it so that
00:34:50.39\00:34:53.66
I was transferred to
Long Island last year August
00:34:53.86\00:34:56.12
and I started attending
the SDA church there regularly.
00:34:56.52\00:35:00.96
And after six months I
couldn't contain myself.
00:35:01.93\00:35:05.47
And so I received the
truth. In fact, my elder who was
00:35:05.87\00:35:09.47
preaching at the time is
here in the audience with me...
00:35:09.67\00:35:12.11
he and his wife. And
I'm truly grateful to them
00:35:12.31\00:35:15.01
for the word that they taught.
00:35:15.21\00:35:16.54
And so in February when I
think it was the president of a
00:35:17.85\00:35:21.68
conference came over that
weekend I asked him a question.
00:35:21.88\00:35:25.45
I said: "I've been
saved, Spirit-filled
00:35:25.65\00:35:27.86
since I was a teenager. Do
I still need to be baptized
00:35:28.06\00:35:31.19
again? " What I
love about his response:
00:35:31.39\00:35:34.30
he didn't answer
me... he went to the Word.
00:35:34.50\00:35:36.67
And he went to
the Word that said
00:35:37.33\00:35:40.17
John's disciples said, you know,
"We were baptized by John. "
00:35:40.37\00:35:43.87
And he said: "Yeah,
you were baptized by water
00:35:44.27\00:35:46.64
but Jesus' disciples are
baptizing by the Spirit. "
00:35:46.84\00:35:49.81
And so he gave me
the choice. And I said:
00:35:50.21\00:35:53.11
"Well yes! I would
love to be baptized. "
00:35:53.31\00:35:55.72
So February 6 I was baptized
as a Seventh-day Adventist.
00:35:55.92\00:35:59.82
Amen! All
right! Praise the Lord.
00:36:00.02\00:36:02.12
Now sometimes I
hear many of us talk
00:36:02.32\00:36:06.96
and I've been this same way.
People listen or they watch 3ABN
00:36:07.16\00:36:10.57
and you're like: "They've been
watching a year. I wonder why
00:36:10.77\00:36:13.10
they don't... you know...
" We put it on our timetable.
00:36:13.30\00:36:15.67
You watched 3ABN off and
on for about how many years
00:36:16.07\00:36:20.08
would you say?
Probably just about two years
00:36:20.28\00:36:22.18
or so. OK. Yeah,
but more intensely so.
00:36:22.38\00:36:25.51
You know, when you came to
Long Island I met both of you
00:36:25.71\00:36:28.58
I started watching, so I
feel like I know everybody
00:36:28.78\00:36:31.05
on the set. So in the back
just now I was just greeting
00:36:31.25\00:36:34.32
everybody by name and
they were like "Hmm? "
00:36:34.52\00:36:36.76
But yes, I've been
watching for a while
00:36:37.76\00:36:39.59
so now it's a program...
Earlier this year I said
00:36:39.79\00:36:43.26
one of my New Year's resolutions
was to stop watching so much TV
00:36:43.47\00:36:46.23
because it's a time waster
so I cut out TV completely.
00:36:46.43\00:36:49.84
And so what I started
doing was watching 3ABN
00:36:50.24\00:36:54.04
on my tablet.
00:36:54.44\00:36:56.68
And then sometimes
when I do turn the TV on
00:36:56.88\00:36:58.61
it would be on 3ABN.
Amen! And Dare to Dream.
00:36:58.81\00:37:01.38
And Dare to Dream. OK!
00:37:01.58\00:37:02.92
All right. You trained
her well... Dare to Dream.
00:37:03.85\00:37:06.45
Dare to Dream. Well Miss
Pinder, thank you so much
00:37:06.65\00:37:09.86
for what you do
for the cause of God.
00:37:10.06\00:37:11.73
For the decision
that you've made.
00:37:11.93\00:37:13.66
And when we went there
we needed to talk to the
00:37:13.86\00:37:18.43
administrator of the
island. We met... Where is?
00:37:18.63\00:37:22.00
They're over here. OK.
00:37:22.40\00:37:24.47
Warren and Karla, would
you stand up for just a second?
00:37:24.67\00:37:27.14
Rogers... Brother
and Sister Rogers.
00:37:27.34\00:37:28.81
This is the head
elder. He's a little guy
00:37:29.01\00:37:32.05
and head elder of the
Seventh-day Adventist church.
00:37:32.25\00:37:36.28
He's also one of the
senior police officers.
00:37:36.48\00:37:38.69
and Karla is the principal
of the Adventist school
00:37:38.89\00:37:41.59
on the island. So when
Sr. Pinder was moved there...
00:37:41.79\00:37:45.83
Were you on
Nassau or another island?
00:37:46.03\00:37:47.56
I was on another
island. Another island
00:37:47.76\00:37:49.20
and they sent her to be a
commissioner on Long Island
00:37:49.40\00:37:54.04
she started going. And
they are the ones who then
00:37:54.24\00:37:56.60
I guess ministered to you
and helped be there for you.
00:37:56.81\00:37:59.64
Um-hmm. And so thank you
so much for what you guys
00:37:59.84\00:38:02.38
do for the cause of God.
Well coming here this weekend
00:38:02.58\00:38:07.78
God is truly
awesome and He is faithful.
00:38:08.18\00:38:10.92
And you know,
since coming into the SDA
00:38:11.12\00:38:14.62
I called all of my
children and I told them...
00:38:14.82\00:38:17.13
You know, I called all
of my aunts and my uncles
00:38:17.33\00:38:20.70
and my mom, and I'm
telling them about the truth:
00:38:20.90\00:38:23.26
especially the mark of the beast
00:38:23.47\00:38:25.83
and the
enforcement of Sunday law.
00:38:26.03\00:38:27.57
And even though I'm
almost like a new babe
00:38:27.77\00:38:29.90
in the Adventist
faith I'm out there
00:38:30.11\00:38:32.94
you know, preaching and
preaching and preaching.
00:38:33.14\00:38:35.04
So when Wes Peppers
was speaking this morning
00:38:35.44\00:38:38.55
I was just truly... So
I feel like coming here
00:38:38.95\00:38:41.72
this weekend He is
fitting me to be a witness.
00:38:41.92\00:38:45.39
All right. We love it.
00:38:45.59\00:38:46.92
I truly truly loved that
message, the evangelism message.
00:38:47.26\00:38:50.76
And now I can
kind of taper it down
00:38:50.96\00:38:52.76
because I think it
was like an urgency on me.
00:38:52.96\00:38:55.06
I just had to tell them
00:38:55.26\00:38:56.60
even though I didn't
have the full full knowledge
00:38:56.67\00:38:58.50
of it, and so this
weekend is indeed a blessing.
00:38:58.70\00:39:00.84
So I really
appreciate to be here.
00:39:01.04\00:39:02.60
Thank you. We're so
glad that you're here.
00:39:02.80\00:39:05.24
Thank you so much. All right.
00:39:05.44\00:39:07.58
We're going to ask the
NAPS group to come out.
00:39:07.78\00:39:10.18
I think they're here.
00:39:10.38\00:39:11.71
And NAPS does an incredible
work around the world.
00:39:11.81\00:39:14.72
And 3ABN has been working
with them and supporting them.
00:39:15.42\00:39:18.55
Here they come. Hey Miss
Darla! How are you doing?
00:39:18.75\00:39:20.89
All right. Aren't these a good
looking group of young folks?
00:39:21.29\00:39:24.23
All right. See if
we've got room for you all.
00:39:24.63\00:39:28.60
Come on down a little ways
if you want. We'll make sure
00:39:28.80\00:39:30.77
you're all in the lighting.
Step up just a little bit.
00:39:30.97\00:39:33.17
And where's my buddy
that's about? He didn't make it
00:39:33.80\00:39:37.34
this time, huh?
Nope. OK... all right.
00:39:37.54\00:39:39.97
I was going to play him basket-
ball, but since he's not here...
00:39:40.18\00:39:42.31
And just kidding.
00:39:42.51\00:39:44.41
Tell us what's happening
and what you all are doing.
00:39:44.81\00:39:47.72
You always come back
with some encouraging stories
00:39:47.92\00:39:50.39
that make us all want to
go out and be better witnesses
00:39:50.59\00:39:53.59
for Jesus. Yeah, for those
who don't know... we're NAPS.
00:39:53.79\00:39:56.73
The National Association for
the Prevention of Starvation.
00:39:56.93\00:40:00.43
And God is A-MA-ZING!
00:40:00.83\00:40:03.60
We just returned
at 3AM this morning
00:40:03.80\00:40:06.74
from a mission trip to Guyana.
00:40:06.94\00:40:08.57
So you're going to get
to see just a taste of that.
00:40:08.77\00:40:11.51
It was SO powerful
00:40:11.91\00:40:14.11
thing after thing that God did.
00:40:14.31\00:40:15.88
So you'll get a taste of that.
00:40:16.08\00:40:17.41
God has been moving
in many ways. We now have
00:40:17.48\00:40:19.58
three campuses: one
in Huntsville, Alabama;
00:40:19.78\00:40:22.68
one in Sawyerville, Alabama;
00:40:23.08\00:40:25.35
and one is Mississippi...
Noxapater, Mississippi.
00:40:25.55\00:40:28.62
And God is doing great
things. And I'm going to let
00:40:28.82\00:40:31.39
my brother Joshua Obayez
actually share a little bit
00:40:31.59\00:40:35.60
of what is on his heart
as far as how God is moving.
00:40:35.80\00:40:38.90
Yeah, I just want to
praise the Lord because
00:40:39.97\00:40:42.54
being able to have these
opportunities and going on these
00:40:42.74\00:40:44.97
mission trips has
truly transformed my life.
00:40:45.17\00:40:47.78
And it's been an amazing
opportunity and experience.
00:40:47.98\00:40:50.15
But one thing that always hurts
00:40:50.55\00:40:53.08
is just seeing how few people,
00:40:53.28\00:40:55.38
especially Christian
young people, are involved
00:40:55.58\00:40:57.99
in mission and in service.
00:40:58.39\00:40:59.99
And from knowing my
own personal experience
00:41:00.39\00:41:02.72
and how being involved in the
Lord's work has changed my life
00:41:02.92\00:41:06.09
I appeal to all the
young people. Really, honestly,
00:41:06.29\00:41:08.76
and truly, from
the bottom of my heart,
00:41:08.96\00:41:10.63
please please get
involved in service.
00:41:10.83\00:41:13.60
Please get involved in ministry.
00:41:13.80\00:41:15.60
Honestly. And
especially to the young men.
00:41:15.80\00:41:18.77
There is not enough
of you guys out there.
00:41:18.97\00:41:20.98
If you guys were
on the mission field,
00:41:21.18\00:41:22.74
if you guys were
on the battlefield,
00:41:22.94\00:41:24.28
you would know how
vital your presence is.
00:41:24.31\00:41:26.51
We just finished
building a church in Guyana.
00:41:26.72\00:41:28.88
And I wish that there were
more guys out there to help
00:41:29.28\00:41:31.69
me shovel cement and lay bricks.
00:41:31.89\00:41:35.09
Praise God for J.P.
00:41:35.29\00:41:36.96
But we need more of you guys.
00:41:37.16\00:41:38.66
And know that it's
not just manual labor
00:41:38.86\00:41:41.23
but soul-saving ministry.
00:41:41.43\00:41:42.76
It's not just for those
souls but the soul you save
00:41:43.13\00:41:45.53
may be your
own... so realize that.
00:41:45.73\00:41:47.57
If you're looking for trans-
formation, there's no better
00:41:47.77\00:41:50.04
place than on the mission field.
00:41:50.24\00:41:52.01
Amen.
00:41:52.21\00:41:53.54
Yes, and we're actually going
to be showing you a video -
00:41:57.51\00:42:00.12
just a short video - kind of
summarizing our time in Guyana.
00:42:00.32\00:42:04.25
But one testimony that
I actually want to share
00:42:04.55\00:42:06.86
with our mission trip to Guyana
00:42:07.06\00:42:08.72
is one very powerful testimony.
00:42:08.92\00:42:10.96
And I actually share that testi-
mony with my friend Gabrianne.
00:42:11.36\00:42:14.73
We were actually Bible
study partners in Guyana,
00:42:15.13\00:42:18.57
and we had a Bible study with
this young girl named Anissa.
00:42:18.77\00:42:21.94
And Anissa was 8 years
old and she... you know...
00:42:22.14\00:42:25.87
she was coming to the
programs and we just saw how big
00:42:26.07\00:42:28.84
her smile was and
how happy she was.
00:42:29.04\00:42:30.51
And she came to us one
day and said: "You know what?
00:42:30.71\00:42:32.81
I want you guys to come to
my home and do Bible studies. "
00:42:33.01\00:42:37.15
And so we said: "Of
course, we'll come. "
00:42:37.35\00:42:38.69
And we went, and as we
were giving Bible studies
00:42:38.95\00:42:41.96
her grandmother and
her mother were both there.
00:42:42.16\00:42:44.46
And so they were actually able
to experience the Bible studies
00:42:44.86\00:42:47.10
for themselves. And they
actually told us afterwards
00:42:47.30\00:42:50.10
how much of a
difference they saw in Anissa
00:42:50.40\00:42:53.30
after being at both
the children's programs
00:42:53.50\00:42:55.94
and being a part
of the Bible studies.
00:42:56.14\00:42:57.81
Before we had come,
Anissa, you know... she grew up
00:42:58.01\00:43:01.31
as a happy young girl, but
because of different events
00:43:01.51\00:43:04.65
that happened in her life
her grandmother and her mother
00:43:04.85\00:43:07.65
both told us how she
had become very distant.
00:43:07.85\00:43:10.99
She was very unhappy, and
she wouldn't do her homework
00:43:11.19\00:43:14.59
and things like that.
00:43:14.79\00:43:16.12
And so after being a
part of the children's program
00:43:16.16\00:43:18.53
she would come
home smiling... happy.
00:43:18.83\00:43:21.20
They wouldn't have to
ask her to do her homework
00:43:21.40\00:43:23.16
'cause she'd go
straight to doing it.
00:43:23.37\00:43:24.70
And they noticed
that she just had a joy
00:43:25.07\00:43:26.94
that was brought back into her.
00:43:27.14\00:43:28.64
And as a result, they wanted
to know more about what it is
00:43:29.04\00:43:31.71
that she was learning about.
00:43:31.91\00:43:33.24
So now that opened the door
for us to be able to go and do
00:43:33.41\00:43:35.58
Bible studies with them.
And now not only was Anissa
00:43:35.78\00:43:38.95
baptized but now her
mother and her grandmother
00:43:39.15\00:43:41.62
are looking to
both be baptized as well
00:43:41.82\00:43:43.59
and become a part of
the Adventist church.
00:43:43.79\00:43:45.55
Amen!
00:43:45.75\00:43:47.09
In the video that
you are about to see
00:43:49.89\00:43:52.06
you're going to see that
when NAPS goes on its missions
00:43:53.06\00:43:55.70
we do not stay in nice hotels.
00:43:55.90\00:43:58.13
I always tell everybody:
"When you make a donation
00:43:58.53\00:44:02.17
to this organization you
can know that every dollar
00:44:02.37\00:44:05.97
is going for saving a soul. "
00:44:06.17\00:44:08.14
We rode in a bush truck for the
last two days of the mission.
00:44:08.64\00:44:13.45
You'll see a little bit of that.
00:44:13.65\00:44:15.08
You're going to see
even door-to-door ministry.
00:44:15.28\00:44:17.39
We were building a wellness
center where people would be
00:44:17.59\00:44:20.42
able to go and
receive natural healing.
00:44:20.62\00:44:23.56
So it's a powerful
thing. You'll see a little bit
00:44:23.76\00:44:26.26
of that building.
And in just two weeks
00:44:26.46\00:44:28.93
it was able to be
built. So as you watch
00:44:29.13\00:44:31.33
know that that is because of
your prayers and your support.
00:44:31.53\00:44:34.47
A family, a teenage
girl, I believe she's sixteen
00:46:36.99\00:46:41.13
and she has some
younger siblings.
00:46:41.33\00:46:43.16
And their mother is
not here with them anymore.
00:46:43.37\00:46:45.70
So sometimes the
teenage sibling has to go out
00:46:45.90\00:46:49.84
and try to find food for them.
00:46:50.04\00:46:51.64
So we're coming today
just to bring them some food
00:46:51.84\00:46:54.11
and to invite them to
an evangelistic program
00:46:54.51\00:46:56.64
that we're having tonight.
00:46:56.85\00:46:58.18
Amen!
00:48:51.36\00:48:53.83
They put this video
apparently together on the way.
00:48:56.67\00:48:59.57
I mean, this is fresh. They got
in at what? Three this morning?
00:48:59.77\00:49:02.77
Yes. And she whispered to
me and said: "We have... "
00:49:02.97\00:49:05.71
I won't tell you how
long. "We hadn't taken a shower
00:49:05.91\00:49:07.74
for a while till
we got to 3ABN. "
00:49:07.94\00:49:09.51
So we're glad that you did. You
all smell very nicely up here.
00:49:09.71\00:49:13.08
Smell good. I'm
starting to get a complex
00:49:13.28\00:49:16.32
you all smell so good.
00:49:16.52\00:49:18.49
So quickly tell us a
little bit. How can we support?
00:49:18.69\00:49:22.49
You all are traveling around
the world; you help people.
00:49:22.69\00:49:25.06
You physically build
things; you help feed people.
00:49:25.26\00:49:28.23
You help... you give them
Bible studies; you bring them
00:49:28.63\00:49:31.07
to the Lord. Everywhere
you go there's baptisms.
00:49:31.27\00:49:33.27
Souls are drawn closer to Jesus.
00:49:33.47\00:49:35.24
What can we do... the viewers?
Let us have a part in this.
00:49:35.44\00:49:39.77
Let us help you. What
can we do to help you?
00:49:39.97\00:49:41.68
One thing we always say - and
Danny doesn't say to say this -
00:49:41.88\00:49:44.71
but we always say
"Donate to 3ABN. "
00:49:44.91\00:49:48.45
You know, if you're
going to give, give to 3ABN
00:49:48.65\00:49:51.65
and then support NAPS as well.
00:49:52.05\00:49:54.46
You know, like but don't...
help this... Because of 3ABN
00:49:54.66\00:49:57.99
we're able to do what we
do. They have kept us year after
00:49:58.19\00:50:01.60
year. And just like
the video you just saw
00:50:01.80\00:50:04.30
there are tons of villages.
We had to travel for two days
00:50:04.70\00:50:07.90
just to - it was
actually I think three - but
00:50:08.10\00:50:10.64
just to get there. There
are tons of villages where they
00:50:10.84\00:50:14.14
know not Christ. They think they
have to pay to get to heaven
00:50:14.34\00:50:17.21
and they're weeping
because they cannot afford it.
00:50:17.41\00:50:19.55
We need to set these people free
and you can make a difference.
00:50:19.95\00:50:24.05
Amen. Thank you. So
what we'll have you to do
00:50:24.25\00:50:27.26
those of you
watching around the world:
00:50:27.46\00:50:28.89
NAPS are going to be here for
a while. If you want to make out
00:50:29.09\00:50:31.39
a check and hand it to
Darla or one of these folk.
00:50:31.59\00:50:33.93
Make it to them... that's fine.
00:50:34.13\00:50:35.70
Those of you if you
want to write to 3ABN
00:50:35.90\00:50:39.37
just put for NAPS - N-A-P-S.
See it on their shirts there.
00:50:39.57\00:50:43.30
We will see that
every penny goes to you all.
00:50:43.51\00:50:46.31
So once again, thank
you so much for what you do
00:50:46.51\00:50:49.18
for the cause of
God. God bless you.
00:50:49.38\00:50:50.95
And thank you for
what you do here at 3ABN!
00:50:51.15\00:50:53.48
All right... God
bless. Thank you all.
00:50:53.68\00:50:57.42
It's my privilege now to
introduce. Our time is really
00:50:59.89\00:51:03.22
running short but I'm
happy to get out Stephanie Dawn.
00:51:03.43\00:51:06.86
How many love Stephanie?
Let her know about it.
00:51:07.06\00:51:08.93
And Dann Thornton. Dann,
thank you for what you do
00:51:09.13\00:51:12.63
and Stephanie. Thank
you for being here tonight.
00:51:12.83\00:51:15.50
What are you going to sing for
us? A song called Arise, Shine.
00:51:15.70\00:51:18.71
And you started singing at
3ABN when you were? Eleven.
00:51:18.91\00:51:21.88
And now you're old
enough... Are you old enough?
00:51:22.08\00:51:24.68
Thirty-eight. Oh, I can ask you.
00:51:24.88\00:51:26.35
Thank you. Women are sensitive,
sometimes, you know, about
00:51:26.55\00:51:29.45
their age. No,
I'm good with that.
00:51:29.65\00:51:30.99
Stephanie's not... OK.
That's 'cause you're 38 not 68.
00:51:31.09\00:51:34.22
But anyway... All right;
God bless you; thank you honey.
00:51:34.42\00:51:37.33
The people in darkness,
00:51:46.00\00:51:49.10
they stumble with
eyes that cannot see.
00:51:49.50\00:51:54.24
Alone in the night
00:51:54.44\00:51:56.11
they call for the light,
00:51:56.31\00:51:58.21
they long for the brightness.
00:51:58.41\00:52:04.19
But on the horizon
00:52:05.22\00:52:09.19
He comes with
the glory of the sun
00:52:09.39\00:52:13.93
with the rush of the
stream to heal and redeem...
00:52:14.13\00:52:18.17
His radiance gleaming.
00:52:18.37\00:52:24.24
Arise, shine...
your light has come.
00:52:24.44\00:52:28.41
The glory of the
Lord has risen upon you.
00:52:28.81\00:52:32.78
Arise, shine...
your light has come.
00:52:32.98\00:52:36.82
Lift up your eyes and see...
00:52:37.02\00:52:41.02
lift up your eyes and see.
00:52:41.22\00:52:46.09
Behold, a new Zion
00:52:52.10\00:52:55.77
that is so high
on His holy hill.
00:52:56.64\00:53:00.38
A torch in the night,
00:53:00.58\00:53:02.51
a city of light
00:53:02.71\00:53:04.58
ablaze with His brightness.
00:53:04.78\00:53:10.25
Oh, see your Redeemer!
00:53:10.95\00:53:15.32
Hear His voice, like
the roar of a thousand seas.
00:53:15.52\00:53:19.19
See... awake you who sleep,
00:53:19.39\00:53:22.16
though the climb may be steep,
00:53:22.36\00:53:24.40
I call to My people:
00:53:24.60\00:53:29.14
I call: "Arise, shine...
00:53:29.34\00:53:32.64
your light has come.
00:53:32.84\00:53:34.78
The glory of the
Lord has risen upon you.
00:53:34.98\00:53:38.88
Arise, shine...
your light has come.
00:53:39.08\00:53:42.88
Lift up your eyes and see...
00:53:43.08\00:53:47.16
lift up your eyes and see.
00:53:47.36\00:53:52.13
See the scepter raised into love
00:53:59.33\00:54:05.31
holding kingdoms by His might.
00:54:07.44\00:54:13.42
See the star arise in Jacob.
00:54:15.38\00:54:21.29
No more sun to rule by day
00:54:23.39\00:54:27.36
and no more moon
to rule by night.
00:54:27.56\00:54:31.53
He will be your
everlasting light!
00:54:31.83\00:54:37.81
Arise, shine...
00:54:38.01\00:54:41.21
your light has come.
00:54:41.41\00:54:43.14
The glory of the
Lord has risen upon you.
00:54:43.35\00:54:47.32
Arise, shine...
your light has come.
00:54:47.52\00:54:51.29
Lift up your eyes and see...
00:54:51.59\00:54:55.42
lift up your eyes and see...
00:54:55.62\00:54:59.63
lift up your eyes
00:54:59.83\00:55:02.36
and see!
00:55:02.86\00:55:08.77
Amen! Thank you, Stephanie.
00:55:14.14\00:55:18.78
We have about one minute
before we have to take a break.
00:55:19.41\00:55:22.75
Do you have anything you'd
like to say to the folk here
00:55:23.15\00:55:25.52
and the folk around the
world to encourage them?
00:55:25.72\00:55:27.62
I would say to do
precisely as the song just said:
00:55:28.02\00:55:31.23
as we are here in the end of
time to preach the three angels'
00:55:31.43\00:55:34.40
messages. God is
calling us to arise and shine
00:55:34.60\00:55:37.73
for God's light
is pouring upon us
00:55:37.93\00:55:40.70
ready to fill us
with His Holy Spirit
00:55:40.90\00:55:43.44
that we may spread
this message to the world...
00:55:43.64\00:55:45.77
each one of us
playing a part in it.
00:55:45.97\00:55:47.68
All right!
00:55:47.88\00:55:49.54
You know we love you here.
00:55:49.74\00:55:52.01
Thank you! I love being here.
00:55:52.21\00:55:53.55
Those of you that are here and
also Stephanie and her family
00:55:53.75\00:55:56.35
they travel full-time ministry.
00:55:56.55\00:55:58.45
If the Holy Spirit's impressing
and you want to write a check
00:55:58.65\00:56:01.22
to their ministry
you'll see them around here.
00:56:01.42\00:56:04.03
And just feel free as
the Holy Spirit impresses you
00:56:04.23\00:56:07.43
to bless them. Say: "Lord,
what would You have me to do? "
00:56:07.63\00:56:09.50
Because it's not an
easy task being on the road
00:56:09.90\00:56:12.97
and traveling and going
from one place to another
00:56:13.17\00:56:15.87
and staying...
doing all that you do.
00:56:16.07\00:56:17.71
But you do it because
of your love for Jesus.
00:56:17.91\00:56:19.71
Yes. We thank
you so much for that.
00:56:19.91\00:56:22.38
And it's my hope and
prayer that the viewers also
00:56:22.78\00:56:25.08
that you would support
Stephanie and her family
00:56:25.28\00:56:28.02
for what they do
for the cause of God.
00:56:28.22\00:56:30.29
Thank you so much.
Thank you. God bless you.
00:56:30.69\00:56:32.85
Surely the presence
00:56:36.96\00:56:40.13
of the Lord is in this place.
00:56:41.00\00:56:45.60
I can feel
00:56:46.37\00:56:48.24
His mighty power
00:56:48.77\00:56:51.47
and His grace.
00:56:51.87\00:56:55.58
I can hear the brush
00:56:56.28\00:56:59.25
of angels' wings;
00:56:59.65\00:57:01.75
I see glory on each face.
00:57:01.95\00:57:07.49
Surely the presence
00:57:08.46\00:57:12.66
of the Lord
00:57:12.86\00:57:15.56
is in this place.
00:57:15.86\00:57:20.94
