"Or that is in the
waters under the earth.
00:01:22.74\00:01:25.41
Thou shalt not bow
down thyself to them
00:01:26.11\00:01:29.22
nor serve them.
00:01:29.42\00:01:31.25
For I, the Lord thy
God, am a jealous God
00:01:31.45\00:01:34.49
visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children... "
00:01:34.69\00:01:38.56
"thy manservant
nor thy maidservant,
00:02:20.80\00:02:23.64
nor thy cattle nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates... "
00:02:23.84\00:02:28.91
As I walked through the door
00:03:34.08\00:03:38.65
I sensed His presence,
00:03:39.05\00:03:41.92
And I knew this was
00:03:43.35\00:03:47.29
the place where love abounds.
00:03:47.69\00:03:53.70
For this is the temple
00:03:54.50\00:03:59.37
Jehovah God
00:04:00.07\00:04:04.61
abides in...
00:04:04.81\00:04:08.38
We are standing
00:04:09.04\00:04:12.88
in His presence
00:04:13.28\00:04:16.99
on holy ground!
00:04:17.62\00:04:21.92
We are standing
00:04:24.76\00:04:30.77
on holy ground
00:04:31.77\00:04:37.11
and I know
00:04:37.67\00:04:41.08
that there are angels
00:04:41.28\00:04:44.88
all... all around.
00:04:45.08\00:04:49.28
Let us praise -
00:04:50.15\00:04:54.22
let us praise -
00:04:54.42\00:04:56.56
Jesus now!
00:04:56.99\00:05:02.33
We are standing
00:05:02.86\00:05:06.27
in His presence
00:05:06.74\00:05:09.77
on holy ground.
00:05:10.34\00:05:14.48
In His presence
00:05:18.31\00:05:20.22
there is joy beyond measure.
00:05:20.72\00:05:26.65
And at His feet
00:05:28.59\00:05:31.16
peace of mind
00:05:31.76\00:05:34.76
can still be found.
00:05:34.96\00:05:39.27
If you have a need,
00:05:39.87\00:05:42.97
my God...
00:05:44.01\00:05:46.11
He has the answer!
00:05:46.57\00:05:50.95
Reach out and claim it
00:05:51.15\00:05:53.62
for child you're standing
00:05:54.02\00:05:57.35
on holy ground.
00:05:57.55\00:06:01.12
Sing it with me if you know it:
00:06:01.32\00:06:02.82
We are standing
00:06:03.36\00:06:08.40
on holy ground.
00:06:08.80\00:06:13.84
And I know that there
00:06:14.54\00:06:18.74
are angels
00:06:18.94\00:06:20.94
all around.
00:06:21.14\00:06:25.51
Let us praise -
00:06:26.01\00:06:29.22
let us praise -
00:06:29.42\00:06:32.12
Jesus now...
00:06:32.32\00:06:37.09
we are standing
00:06:37.46\00:06:40.56
in His presence,
00:06:40.76\00:06:43.47
we are standing
00:06:43.87\00:06:46.74
in His presence,
00:06:46.94\00:06:49.17
we are standing
00:06:49.90\00:06:53.17
in His presence
00:06:53.48\00:06:56.75
on holy...
00:06:57.41\00:07:00.28
on holy
00:07:00.48\00:07:03.12
ground.
00:07:03.32\00:07:06.89
We are standing on holy ground.
00:07:08.92\00:07:10.56
Praise the Lord!
Thank you for joining us
00:07:16.23\00:07:18.90
for 3ABN Spring
Camp Meeting 2019.
00:07:19.10\00:07:22.90
Whoever thought we'd
live this long, right?
00:07:23.10\00:07:25.27
2019. As they say: "If
I'd of known I was going to
00:07:25.47\00:07:28.14
live this long I'd have
taken better care of myself. "
00:07:28.34\00:07:30.58
We're glad that each and
every one of you are here
00:07:31.41\00:07:34.12
from many different
countries around the world.
00:07:34.32\00:07:36.58
Already we found out while ago
00:07:36.79\00:07:38.45
some folk all the way
from Australia and Russia,
00:07:38.65\00:07:41.42
California, and I
guess on the East Coast.
00:07:41.62\00:07:43.56
Anybody here
from the East Coast?
00:07:43.76\00:07:45.09
East side of America?
OK... here's some hands.
00:07:45.26\00:07:47.10
So we're glad for those of you
watching from around the world.
00:07:47.66\00:07:50.43
Folks, what an
opportunity to be here
00:07:50.63\00:07:53.03
living in the closing
moments of earth's history
00:07:53.23\00:07:55.64
when Jesus is about to
return. Anybody excited?
00:07:55.84\00:07:58.77
Amen! I tell you what:
we're excited here at 3ABN.
00:07:58.97\00:08:01.71
We want to thank
each and every one of you
00:08:01.91\00:08:03.75
for your love, your prayers
and financial support of this
00:08:03.95\00:08:07.18
ministry as we
continue and endeavor to take
00:08:07.38\00:08:10.02
this great gospel of the
kingdom into all the world.
00:08:10.22\00:08:13.15
Yvonne, you happy tonight?
00:08:13.36\00:08:14.92
I'm happy. You look
awful pretty tonight.
00:08:15.12\00:08:17.13
Aw, thank you.
That's sweet. Doing OK?
00:08:17.33\00:08:19.76
Thank you! All
right... I thought so. OK.
00:08:19.96\00:08:21.33
It's a blessing to be
here. I mean, I'm always excited
00:08:22.93\00:08:26.90
about Camp Meeting because
I always get something new.
00:08:27.10\00:08:29.87
The Lord always brings
some kind of new revelation
00:08:30.27\00:08:33.07
or something through the
speakers, through the music.
00:08:33.27\00:08:35.41
So it's just exciting.
00:08:35.61\00:08:36.95
I think it's as
exciting for all of us
00:08:36.98\00:08:39.01
to be here as it
is for the viewers
00:08:39.21\00:08:40.78
'cause we just love it.
00:08:40.98\00:08:42.32
Absolutely!
Brother Bruce and Jacki.
00:08:42.38\00:08:44.05
You got something
to tell us tonight?
00:08:44.25\00:08:46.15
I am thankful to be here.
This is one of our vacations.
00:08:46.35\00:08:50.23
Vacation at Camp Meeting.
00:08:50.43\00:08:52.09
All right! And I
encourage you to do the same.
00:08:52.29\00:08:55.13
Take in all the
Camp Meetings you can...
00:08:55.33\00:08:57.80
especially the one here
at 3ABN. They're wonderful.
00:08:58.00\00:09:00.60
Oh they are. I agree with you.
00:09:00.80\00:09:03.37
She's agreeing with you.
00:09:03.57\00:09:05.27
Pastor John.
00:09:05.67\00:09:07.08
Well it's good to be here.
I mean, I don't sound like me
00:09:07.28\00:09:09.64
but that's OK...
I will eventually.
00:09:09.84\00:09:11.68
That's OK... you look like you.
00:09:11.88\00:09:13.25
In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.
00:09:13.45\00:09:15.15
Pastor Wintley... Bro. Wintley.
00:09:15.35\00:09:18.42
But it's a blessing to
look at what God has conceived
00:09:18.62\00:09:23.06
in the minds of
those who design the sets.
00:09:23.26\00:09:25.43
I was expecting to see
Moses come across the rocks
00:09:25.63\00:09:30.20
And Yul Brenner and
all the famous names.
00:09:30.80\00:09:34.34
But it was good to
see you, Danny, instead.
00:09:34.74\00:09:36.50
Poor substitute, but
that's all they could
00:09:36.71\00:09:39.87
come up with. I was free.
00:09:40.08\00:09:41.58
Not a substitute. As
I said a few days ago
00:09:41.78\00:09:43.58
nothing happens
outside of God's plan.
00:09:43.88\00:09:46.31
God had a plan for
3ABN and He chose you.
00:09:46.51\00:09:49.12
And we are blessed 35 years
later to see that God is still
00:09:49.32\00:09:52.79
going and this gospel
is going to the world.
00:09:52.99\00:09:55.39
Praise God! All around the world
00:09:55.59\00:09:56.93
as we are standing here
people are being gathered
00:09:57.09\00:09:59.53
into the kingdom
because of your faithfulness.
00:09:59.73\00:10:01.56
Thank you,
Danny. Sister Shelley.
00:10:01.76\00:10:03.10
Well, we just want you
to know that we love you
00:10:03.16\00:10:05.90
and we hope that...
You're brothers and sisters
00:10:06.10\00:10:08.90
so we hope that we
get to shake your hand and
00:10:09.10\00:10:11.37
hug your neck. And I'm always
excited to have the opportunity
00:10:11.57\00:10:16.64
to share God's Word. So
I can't wait for tomorrow.
00:10:16.85\00:10:21.18
Wish I had four hours,
00:10:21.38\00:10:22.72
but nobody else would
give me any of their time.
00:10:22.75\00:10:24.79
Sr. Carmelita Troy, one of
our beautiful board members.
00:10:26.52\00:10:29.82
We're so glad that you're here.
00:10:30.03\00:10:31.49
And your dad was
Brother Owen Troy -
00:10:31.89\00:10:35.70
right. He was a board member...
00:10:35.90\00:10:37.23
one of our very first board
members and literally stayed
00:10:37.27\00:10:39.80
with 3ABN for?
What? 30 years nearly.
00:10:40.00\00:10:43.37
Twenty-five? Twenty-eight?
Seventeen years on the board
00:10:43.57\00:10:46.47
and then afterwards, yeah.
00:10:46.68\00:10:48.71
Long time. He passed
away. Yeah. Praise the Lord!
00:10:48.91\00:10:52.28
What have you
got for us tonight?
00:10:52.48\00:10:54.08
I want to just say this
evening that I am so blessed
00:10:54.28\00:10:58.22
to be here. When we
had the board meeting
00:10:58.42\00:11:01.36
this morning I felt like I
was in the presence of God.
00:11:01.56\00:11:04.39
So there is something special.
00:11:04.59\00:11:06.46
Thompsonville is
maybe a dot on the map
00:11:06.66\00:11:09.26
but we know that God is here.
00:11:09.46\00:11:12.17
And I know I feel His
presence. Amen! Thank you.
00:11:12.37\00:11:16.27
All right. Brother Greg.
00:11:16.47\00:11:18.17
We have Camp Meeting... We
look forward to Camp Meeting.
00:11:18.37\00:11:20.48
It's a wonderful time
because you are our family.
00:11:20.68\00:11:23.11
And we have it
highlighted on our calendar
00:11:23.51\00:11:25.55
with a highlighter
as a positive note.
00:11:25.75\00:11:28.35
Yes, Camp Meeting is a lot
of work but it's a blessing
00:11:28.55\00:11:30.62
to meet each one of you.
You're part of our family.
00:11:30.82\00:11:32.52
I want to say
thank you to the crew
00:11:32.72\00:11:34.09
that worked so hard.
You see all these rocks?
00:11:34.29\00:11:36.49
They worked at
least 5, 6, 7 weeks.
00:11:36.69\00:11:38.93
They were
carving all these rocks;
00:11:39.13\00:11:40.46
they were spray painting them.
00:11:40.66\00:11:42.00
We didn't buy these from
Hollywood. They actually worked
00:11:43.63\00:11:45.53
very hard on all of
these. And you're going to see
00:11:45.73\00:11:47.44
some other sets
some of the other nights.
00:11:47.64\00:11:49.37
But this is to give the
feel of maybe what the children
00:11:49.57\00:11:52.97
of Israel... what it
was like at Mt. Sinai.
00:11:53.17\00:11:55.01
And as I was
listening to Mr. Danny sing
00:11:55.21\00:11:57.05
We Are Standing On Holy Ground
00:11:57.25\00:11:59.11
I think about the children of
Israel. They were camped outside
00:11:59.31\00:12:02.25
of Mt. Sinai. But
then I think about 3ABN.
00:12:02.45\00:12:04.85
It's not holy ground
because we make it holy
00:12:05.25\00:12:07.99
because Jesus Christ is
the One that makes it holy.
00:12:08.19\00:12:10.63
So again, this is
mentioned many times.
00:12:10.83\00:12:12.86
We thank you for your finan-
cial support for the ministry
00:12:13.06\00:12:15.56
of 3ABN because it's reaching
souls and lives for eternity.
00:12:15.76\00:12:18.57
It's a blessing to see
each one of your smiling faces.
00:12:18.77\00:12:21.80
Smile. We're so glad to
be here with each one of you.
00:12:22.00\00:12:24.81
I love Camp Meeting!
What a privilege to spend time
00:12:25.71\00:12:28.14
with each one of you and
what a privilege to open up
00:12:28.34\00:12:30.41
God's Word and to be
refreshed spiritually.
00:12:30.61\00:12:34.02
And that's why we
come to Camp Meeting
00:12:34.22\00:12:36.12
is for that
anointing from the Holy Spirit.
00:12:36.32\00:12:38.25
There's a special couple
that has been an integral part
00:12:38.45\00:12:41.46
of the ministry
of 3ABN for 11 years.
00:12:41.66\00:12:44.99
They're
standing right beside me.
00:12:45.39\00:12:47.13
I'm speaking of Brian
Hamilton who has been our CFO
00:12:47.33\00:12:50.93
for the past 11
years and his wife Diane.
00:12:51.13\00:12:54.30
Brian just retired
a couple of weeks ago.
00:12:54.50\00:12:59.41
Thank you. And this is a plaque
from the family here at 3ABN.
00:12:59.61\00:13:05.08
Wow! Brian is a man of God.
00:13:05.28\00:13:08.05
He has great wisdom and insight.
00:13:08.45\00:13:12.02
He has a passion for
those who are oppressed,
00:13:12.22\00:13:15.39
those who are bound in prison.
00:13:15.59\00:13:17.49
He helped launch our
prison ministry here.
00:13:17.69\00:13:19.96
This plaque says: "With
our deepest appreciation
00:13:20.16\00:13:22.46
Three Angels
Broadcasting Network
00:13:22.66\00:13:24.50
honors Brian Hamilton.
00:13:24.70\00:13:26.43
In deep appreciation
for your eleven years
00:13:26.63\00:13:29.27
of faithful
financial service to the Lord
00:13:29.47\00:13:32.17
and to this ministry as
Chief Financial Officer.
00:13:32.57\00:13:35.81
And for your heartfelt
service to those who are bound
00:13:36.01\00:13:38.68
and oppressed in prison.
00:13:38.88\00:13:40.68
"If the Son makes you free,
you shall be free indeed. "
00:13:40.88\00:13:44.72
And Brian and Diane
have dedicated their lives
00:13:44.92\00:13:47.22
to helping set people free.
00:13:47.42\00:13:49.32
This is for you and
the flowers for Diane.
00:13:49.52\00:13:51.79
Diane has done a
wonderful job here.
00:13:51.99\00:13:55.06
Wow! I guess...
you surprised me.
00:14:01.24\00:14:03.81
This was not expected at all
00:14:04.21\00:14:07.04
but thank you. It's
been a blessing to serve.
00:14:07.24\00:14:09.91
And we're not done serving.
00:14:10.11\00:14:11.45
We're still on the board
and we're just going to take
00:14:11.61\00:14:15.62
a Sabbatical for a short time.
00:14:15.82\00:14:17.59
So this is one of my
first stress-free Camp Meetings.
00:14:17.95\00:14:21.19
OK. Anyway, thank you so much.
00:14:23.06\00:14:25.69
It's going to be
really tough on Jason,
00:14:25.89\00:14:27.46
the new CFO, 'cause there's
going to be so much money
00:14:27.66\00:14:29.90
from all these folks given
00:14:30.10\00:14:31.90
it's going to take a
lot of work to do... Yeah.
00:14:32.10\00:14:33.84
So now Jason can do all that.
I'm talking by faith - right?
00:14:34.24\00:14:38.11
that these folks
are going to support.
00:14:38.31\00:14:39.84
He'll need help counting.
You can help... there you go.
00:14:40.04\00:14:42.44
Diane, thank you as
Jill was getting ready to say
00:14:42.64\00:14:44.81
for all that you've done
here at 3ABN... are doing.
00:14:45.01\00:14:47.28
You're still working for a bit.
00:14:47.48\00:14:48.92
Brian's got this figured out.
00:14:49.12\00:14:50.45
He's retired and
you're still working.
00:14:50.62\00:14:52.15
She's still working for
a couple more months here
00:14:54.39\00:14:56.42
in our Planned Giving
and Trust Services Dept.
00:14:56.62\00:14:58.79
And you have been such an
integral part of the ministry
00:14:59.19\00:15:01.53
as well. We love both of you.
00:15:01.73\00:15:03.77
We're going to miss
you, but we know that you'll
00:15:03.97\00:15:05.83
be back with us some time.
00:15:06.03\00:15:07.37
We know that by faith.
00:15:07.40\00:15:08.74
And we are so
grateful for Jason Bergmann,
00:15:08.80\00:15:11.01
our new CFO. And
his wife Francine...
00:15:11.21\00:15:14.01
which I'm sure we'll see
some time this weekend...
00:15:14.21\00:15:15.98
is our new Kids
Network general manager.
00:15:16.18\00:15:18.01
You know, Jason is the one
walking around with an offering
00:15:18.21\00:15:19.98
plate all the time.
You'll recognize him.
00:15:20.18\00:15:23.69
Now some of the other
board members are here.
00:15:23.89\00:15:25.69
I think I see C.A. over
there. He's retired to Panama.
00:15:25.89\00:15:28.89
He and Irma. And Mollie
Sue and Hal... they're here.
00:15:29.09\00:15:31.66
They retired to Alabama.
00:15:31.86\00:15:33.33
Where are they?
Y'all are gettin' old.
00:15:33.53\00:15:34.90
I don't know what
happened. You retired
00:15:35.10\00:15:36.80
and went home. No you're
not... you all look great.
00:15:37.00\00:15:39.40
And let's see... Pat McNeilus
is around here somewhere.
00:15:39.80\00:15:42.64
Pat... there you
go... and Rhonda.
00:15:42.84\00:15:44.87
We're glad you all are here.
00:15:45.07\00:15:46.41
So anybody else we're missing
00:15:46.44\00:15:48.44
that was at the board
meeting today? But anyway...
00:15:48.64\00:15:50.75
Greg Thompson. Greg
Thompson... that's right.
00:15:50.95\00:15:53.15
He's not here tonight
but was on the meeting.
00:15:53.35\00:15:55.32
So again, thank you
so much for what you do
00:15:55.52\00:15:57.65
for the cause of God. And
we're going to continue now
00:15:57.85\00:16:00.22
with our program as
The Law of Love & Liberty
00:16:00.42\00:16:03.76
for this whole weekend.
00:16:03.96\00:16:05.29
Again, thank you
all for what you've done
00:16:05.33\00:16:06.70
for the cause of God.
00:16:06.90\00:16:08.23
And I think we're
going to be blessed with...
00:16:08.26\00:16:09.60
Yvonne, you're
going to be singing. Yes.
00:16:09.76\00:16:12.27
Then in between I won't
announce the other singers.
00:16:12.47\00:16:14.70
You'll know them, I
believe, as they come out.
00:16:14.90\00:16:16.67
But we have
little promos in between
00:16:16.87\00:16:19.37
that we're going to be playing.
00:16:19.57\00:16:20.91
So what are you going
to sing for us tonight?
00:16:20.94\00:16:22.28
It's a medley
of... a Jesus medley.
00:16:22.44\00:16:24.75
So recently I have been blessed
00:16:28.05\00:16:30.75
and privileged
to be able to study
00:16:30.95\00:16:33.96
some of the names of God.
00:16:34.16\00:16:36.16
And it's so
interesting because you find out
00:16:36.56\00:16:39.53
a lot about God's character
through His different names.
00:16:39.73\00:16:43.83
Like Jehovah Rapha - my healer -
00:16:44.53\00:16:47.67
or Jehovah Jireh - my provider -
00:16:47.87\00:16:50.01
or El Shaddai or El Roi
00:16:50.21\00:16:56.11
or Jehovah Nissi.
00:16:56.31\00:16:58.38
All of these names are
some of the names of God
00:16:58.58\00:17:02.38
but one of the sweetest names
00:17:02.58\00:17:04.75
is Yeshua... Jesus.
00:17:04.95\00:17:07.56
Jesus... what a
beautiful name that is!
00:17:07.96\00:17:11.63
What a beautiful name it is,
00:17:40.96\00:17:45.26
what a beautiful name it is:
00:17:45.46\00:17:49.03
the name of Jesus Christ
00:17:49.23\00:17:53.80
my King.
00:17:54.00\00:17:56.64
What a beautiful name it is!
00:17:56.84\00:18:00.04
Nothing compares to this.
00:18:00.44\00:18:03.98
What a beautiful name it is:
00:18:04.18\00:18:07.45
the name of Jesus...
00:18:07.65\00:18:12.25
Jesus.
00:18:13.59\00:18:17.16
Jesus,
00:18:19.33\00:18:21.86
Jesus - sing with me -
00:18:22.06\00:18:24.60
Jesus...
00:18:25.00\00:18:29.44
there's something
00:18:29.64\00:18:32.74
about that name!
00:18:32.94\00:18:38.71
Oh, Master,
00:18:39.41\00:18:42.98
Savior,
00:18:43.18\00:18:45.42
Jesus...
00:18:45.62\00:18:49.49
like the fragrance
00:18:49.69\00:18:52.73
after the rain.
00:18:52.93\00:18:58.73
Jesus,
00:18:59.80\00:19:02.24
Jesus,
00:19:02.44\00:19:04.34
oh Jesus...
00:19:04.54\00:19:09.04
let all heaven
00:19:09.24\00:19:12.08
and earth proclaim:
00:19:12.28\00:19:17.69
kings and kingdoms
00:19:19.52\00:19:24.29
may all pass away
00:19:24.49\00:19:28.70
but there's something
00:19:28.90\00:19:32.00
about
00:19:32.20\00:19:34.34
that name!
00:19:34.54\00:19:39.44
All hail the
power of Jesus' name,
00:19:45.91\00:19:50.59
let angels prostrate fall.
00:19:50.79\00:19:55.36
Bring forth the royal diadem
00:19:55.76\00:20:00.66
and crown Him
00:20:00.86\00:20:03.73
Lord of all...
00:20:03.93\00:20:08.27
bring forth the royal
00:20:08.47\00:20:11.54
diadem
00:20:11.74\00:20:13.38
and crown Him
00:20:13.58\00:20:16.41
Lord of all.
00:20:16.61\00:20:21.68
Let every kindred
00:20:23.55\00:20:26.12
every tribe
00:20:26.32\00:20:27.79
on this terrestrial ball
00:20:27.99\00:20:32.16
to Him all majesty ascribe
00:20:32.36\00:20:36.97
and crown Him
00:20:37.37\00:20:39.93
Lord of all...
00:20:40.14\00:20:43.97
to Him all majesty ascribe
00:20:44.17\00:20:48.91
and crown Him
00:20:49.21\00:20:51.71
Lord of all.
00:20:51.91\00:20:57.19
All hail the
power of Jesus' name,
00:21:02.39\00:21:07.23
let angels prostrate fall.
00:21:07.43\00:21:11.93
Bring forth the royal diadem
00:21:12.33\00:21:17.21
and crown Him
00:21:17.41\00:21:20.28
Lord of all...
00:21:20.48\00:21:26.38
bring forth the royal diadem
00:21:26.95\00:21:31.82
and crown Him Lord...
00:21:32.22\00:21:37.06
and crown Him Lord...
00:21:37.26\00:21:42.20
and crown Him
00:21:42.40\00:21:44.90
Lord of
00:21:45.10\00:21:49.77
all!
00:21:49.97\00:21:55.94
Amen!
00:22:00.12\00:22:01.48
Yvonne, what do the Ten Command-
ments mean to you personally?
00:22:04.05\00:22:06.59
You know, when I
was younger, Danny,
00:22:06.79\00:22:09.09
it just felt like
the Ten Commandments were
00:22:09.29\00:22:12.49
restrictive. OK. But it's
really a hedge of protection.
00:22:13.90\00:22:18.80
You know, the idea
of the law of liberty.
00:22:19.00\00:22:22.10
The Ten Commandments
are really protective.
00:22:22.30\00:22:24.94
They protect us from harm.
00:22:25.14\00:22:27.58
And they're so comprehensive.
Yes. You know, when you think
00:22:27.78\00:22:31.48
about how ten rules can
just cover basically everything.
00:22:31.68\00:22:37.39
So it's really... To
me it's a beautiful thing.
00:22:37.59\00:22:40.69
The law of God is protective.
All right. I'm thankful for
00:22:40.89\00:22:43.96
the law of God because
it is indeed as you said
00:22:44.16\00:22:46.49
a law of love
and a law of liberty.
00:22:46.70\00:22:49.03
It's amazing to me that God
first wrote the 10 Commandments,
00:22:49.23\00:22:53.03
gave them to Moses,
with His own fingers
00:22:53.23\00:22:56.34
on the tables of stone.
00:22:56.54\00:22:57.87
And now they're written in
our hearts and in our minds.
00:22:57.97\00:23:00.58
Yes. And I'm always amazed
that people for some reason
00:23:00.78\00:23:03.28
try to do away
with the law of God
00:23:03.48\00:23:05.65
when they are a transcript
of God's own character.
00:23:06.05\00:23:09.12
Um-hmm. Can you imagine that?
00:23:09.32\00:23:10.65
So God is love, so when we
look at the Ten Commandments
00:23:10.85\00:23:13.59
it's the love of God. And so
He gave it to us for a reason.
00:23:13.79\00:23:17.06
That's right. To live healthy,
happy, long lives on this earth
00:23:17.26\00:23:21.30
and direct us to
life everlasting.
00:23:21.50\00:23:24.13
That's right. And when
you do... it kind of...
00:23:24.33\00:23:26.84
It is that mirror,
you know, so you can say
00:23:27.04\00:23:29.07
"How am I doing? "
Well: "Am I coveting? "
00:23:29.27\00:23:32.27
"Oh, wow! I saw this
and I really wanted it. "
00:23:32.47\00:23:34.64
It just lets you
know where you are.
00:23:34.94\00:23:37.78
It is a law of love.
00:23:37.98\00:23:39.31
It is. And
again, a law of liberty.
00:23:39.38\00:23:41.62
I didn't understand that.
I'm like you: when I was younger
00:23:41.82\00:23:44.45
I said: "Oh boy, I have to
do this; I can't do that. " Yes!
00:23:44.65\00:23:46.65
Yes. But when you understand
God and His love for fallen man
00:23:46.86\00:23:50.83
it gives you
freedom. That's right.
00:23:50.99\00:23:53.56
So you know what? I don't
have to try to earn my way
00:23:53.76\00:23:56.33
to heaven... because I can't.
00:23:56.53\00:23:58.67
Salvation cannot be
bought. It is a free gift -
00:23:58.87\00:24:02.10
um-hmm - from our Creator God.
00:24:02.30\00:24:04.57
Amen!
00:27:52.53\00:27:54.40
I got to know God when I was 39.
00:27:54.94\00:27:57.47
This happened
when Pastor John Carter
00:27:57.67\00:27:59.77
and 3ABN came to my
city Nizhny Novgorod
00:27:59.97\00:28:02.68
and I started attending the
first ever evangelistic program
00:28:02.88\00:28:06.48
there. And it was
the first time when
00:28:06.68\00:28:09.95
I heard about the law of
God when I realized what it is.
00:28:10.15\00:28:13.79
And I thought: "Oh, no!
I won't agree with that.
00:28:13.99\00:28:17.13
I'll live like everyone else.
00:28:17.33\00:28:19.36
I am a good person.
00:28:19.56\00:28:21.20
Nevertheless I don't
keep quite a bit from that law
00:28:21.40\00:28:25.63
and it doesn't
mean that I'm bad. "
00:28:25.83\00:28:28.70
So I was resisting that law.
00:28:28.90\00:28:31.67
And then, you know,
through Pastor Carter's program
00:28:31.87\00:28:35.54
the Lord's love
started penetrating my heart.
00:28:35.74\00:28:39.75
And then He started
convicting me of my sin.
00:28:40.15\00:28:43.42
And He would say: "Julia,
this is wrong to do it. "
00:28:43.62\00:28:46.82
And I would say:
"No... it's OK. "
00:28:47.02\00:28:49.49
He would say:
"Julia, this is a sin. "
00:28:49.69\00:28:51.89
And I would say: "No. "
00:28:52.09\00:28:53.50
And then, you know,
a moment came that was
00:28:53.70\00:28:56.06
the moment of my conversion
00:28:56.26\00:28:57.67
when I just said: "Yes,
Lord, it is a sin and I agree.
00:28:57.87\00:29:02.00
You are right and I am wrong.
00:29:02.20\00:29:04.14
I don't want to keep
being this way any longer. "
00:29:04.34\00:29:07.18
And then what happened:
He put the law - His law -
00:29:07.58\00:29:11.61
into my heart. And you
know, the desire for sin
00:29:11.81\00:29:15.25
was gone. It was not
pleasurable any more.
00:29:15.45\00:29:19.65
It was something that I
never wanted since then.
00:29:19.85\00:29:24.43
And I want to say
that the law of God
00:29:24.83\00:29:27.86
written on the
tables of our heart
00:29:28.06\00:29:31.23
is the law of liberty from sin.
00:29:31.43\00:29:34.57
Redeemed! How I
love to proclaim it!
00:29:44.71\00:29:48.72
Redeemed by the
blood of the Lamb.
00:29:49.12\00:29:52.95
Redeemed through
His infinite mercy...
00:29:53.25\00:29:57.29
His child and forever I am.
00:29:57.49\00:30:01.30
Redeemed! Redeemed!
00:30:01.76\00:30:05.57
Redeemed by the
blood of the Lamb.
00:30:05.77\00:30:09.84
Redeemed through
His infinite mercy...
00:30:10.37\00:30:14.31
His child and forever I am.
00:30:14.51\00:30:18.65
Redeemed and so
happy in Jesus...
00:30:20.28\00:30:24.42
no language my rapture can tell.
00:30:24.62\00:30:28.52
I know that the
light of His presence
00:30:28.72\00:30:32.63
with me doth continually dwell.
00:30:32.83\00:30:36.46
Redeemed! Redeemed!
00:30:36.87\00:30:40.60
Redeemed by the
blood of the Lamb.
00:30:40.80\00:30:45.04
Redeemed through
His infinite mercy...
00:30:45.24\00:30:49.04
His child and forever I am.
00:30:49.24\00:30:54.48
I think of my blessed Redeemer,
00:30:55.08\00:30:59.35
I think of Him all the day long.
00:30:59.55\00:31:03.49
I sing for I cannot be silent...
00:31:03.69\00:31:07.70
His love is the
theme of my song!
00:31:07.90\00:31:11.53
I said love is the
theme of my song...
00:31:11.73\00:31:15.54
oh, His love is the theme of
00:31:15.74\00:31:19.71
my song!
00:31:19.91\00:31:23.98
Redeemed! Redeemed!
00:31:24.18\00:31:28.12
Redeemed by the
blood of the Lamb.
00:31:28.32\00:31:32.32
Redeemed through
His infinite mercy...
00:31:32.52\00:31:36.49
His child and forever I am...
00:31:36.69\00:31:40.13
His child and forever I am...
00:31:40.53\00:31:44.13
oh, His child
00:31:44.33\00:31:46.50
and forever
00:31:46.70\00:31:48.70
I am!
00:31:48.90\00:31:54.84
Amen!
00:31:57.61\00:31:58.95
I grew up in a
New Testament church,
00:32:00.62\00:32:02.25
and I was taught that the
Ten Commandments were nailed
00:32:02.45\00:32:04.45
to the cross. Of
course, we kept 9 of those 10.
00:32:04.65\00:32:08.92
Sadly, the only
one that we ignored
00:32:09.12\00:32:11.76
was the one that
God said to remember:
00:32:11.96\00:32:13.56
His holy Sabbath. And
remember? At 50 years old
00:32:13.76\00:32:16.63
God led me in a deep
study of the sanctuary
00:32:16.83\00:32:20.50
and His covenant of
righteousness by faith.
00:32:20.70\00:32:23.27
And I learned that
the Ten Commandments
00:32:23.57\00:32:26.07
are 10 promises of what
living in covenant relationship
00:32:26.27\00:32:30.38
with God is like. They are the
Bill of Rights of His government
00:32:30.58\00:32:34.85
and the heart of the new
covenant as well as the old.
00:32:35.05\00:32:38.82
They guarantee God's
rights as our Creator
00:32:39.02\00:32:41.76
and our rights - really -
as His covenant community.
00:32:41.96\00:32:45.99
Once I realized this truth
00:32:46.19\00:32:48.23
I began celebrating
His holy Sabbath day.
00:32:48.43\00:32:52.07
The day that God
says that this is a sign
00:32:52.27\00:32:55.20
He is the One who sanctifies us.
00:32:55.40\00:32:57.77
And He changed my
Christian experience
00:32:57.97\00:33:00.71
to one of total
dependence upon Him.
00:33:00.91\00:33:03.55
You know, the thing that I
like about the Ten Commandments,
00:33:03.75\00:33:06.38
Shelley, is that it
reflects God's character.
00:33:06.58\00:33:08.62
It helps me
recognize the moral standards
00:33:08.82\00:33:11.05
that He wants me to live by.
00:33:11.25\00:33:12.65
I know that Jesus
came to exalt the law.
00:33:12.85\00:33:15.72
And what He taught about
living in the spirit of the law
00:33:16.12\00:33:19.66
makes me recognize
just how much I need Him.
00:33:19.86\00:33:22.26
God is so good that
He gives me parameters
00:33:22.66\00:33:25.10
for living in
relationship with Him.
00:33:25.30\00:33:27.14
And I thank Him
daily for empowering me
00:33:27.54\00:33:29.84
by the aid of the Holy Spirit
00:33:30.04\00:33:31.81
to walk according to
His will. Amen. Amen.
00:33:32.01\00:33:34.61
In the beginning
00:33:49.69\00:33:54.46
of time
00:33:54.66\00:33:56.23
He was the Creator.
00:33:56.63\00:34:00.74
Into existence
00:34:04.07\00:34:08.78
He spoke
00:34:08.98\00:34:10.31
the heavenly blue.
00:34:10.81\00:34:15.58
And with one mighty swoop
00:34:18.45\00:34:22.76
of His hand
00:34:22.96\00:34:25.09
He threw out the stars...
00:34:25.29\00:34:28.23
He knew where they'd land.
00:34:28.43\00:34:31.93
So if you think
00:34:32.80\00:34:35.27
you're just drifting along
00:34:35.67\00:34:39.47
then I have good news!
00:34:39.67\00:34:45.41
And if He hung the moon,
00:34:46.18\00:34:52.12
I know He will help you.
00:34:53.32\00:34:58.03
And if He holds
00:35:00.60\00:35:02.56
the sparrow in flight,
00:35:02.76\00:35:07.44
He'll hold you too.
00:35:08.24\00:35:12.87
Consider
00:35:15.21\00:35:16.95
the lilies of the field,
00:35:17.15\00:35:21.75
how much more He loves you.
00:35:22.15\00:35:26.62
In the beginning of time,
00:35:29.09\00:35:32.59
you were on His mind
00:35:32.99\00:35:36.43
when He hung the moon.
00:35:36.63\00:35:40.54
Now you may feel like
00:35:44.17\00:35:48.84
the world weighs
hard on your shoulders.
00:35:49.04\00:35:54.98
And even your closest friend
00:35:57.85\00:36:02.99
in life
00:36:03.19\00:36:04.66
is pulling away.
00:36:05.19\00:36:10.43
Though you have tried so hard
00:36:12.23\00:36:17.37
and lost
00:36:17.57\00:36:19.17
there is still hope.
00:36:19.67\00:36:22.44
Look to the cross:
00:36:22.74\00:36:26.31
there you will see
00:36:26.72\00:36:29.62
just how much the
Savior really loves you
00:36:29.82\00:36:35.29
today!
00:36:35.49\00:36:40.26
And if He hung the moon,
00:36:40.66\00:36:46.63
I know He will help you.
00:36:47.64\00:36:52.51
And if He holds
00:36:54.84\00:36:56.98
the sparrow in flight,
00:36:57.18\00:37:01.85
He'll hold you too.
00:37:02.62\00:37:07.66
Consider the lilies of
00:37:09.12\00:37:14.46
the field...
00:37:14.66\00:37:16.16
how much more He loves you.
00:37:16.36\00:37:20.87
In the beginning of time
00:37:23.44\00:37:26.78
you were on His mind
00:37:26.98\00:37:30.65
when He hung the moon...
00:37:31.05\00:37:34.85
In the beginning of time
00:37:37.55\00:37:41.46
you were on His mind
00:37:41.86\00:37:45.96
when He hung the moon...
00:37:48.36\00:37:54.30
He hung the moon.
00:37:56.14\00:38:01.14
Amen!
00:38:06.18\00:38:07.55
I have to be honest with you:
00:38:09.52\00:38:10.99
at first I viewed the
Ten Commandments as a burden.
00:38:11.19\00:38:14.29
Of course, this was
when I was out of the church.
00:38:14.69\00:38:17.39
But then as I began to
really get to know Christ
00:38:17.79\00:38:21.56
and develop a
personal relationship with Him
00:38:21.76\00:38:24.47
I began to view
the Ten Commandments
00:38:24.87\00:38:27.90
as such a blessing.
00:38:28.10\00:38:30.01
I started to imagine a world
00:38:30.21\00:38:32.67
where people honored
their mother and father.
00:38:32.87\00:38:36.44
I started to imagine a world
where nobody stole anything.
00:38:36.85\00:38:41.35
Nobody killed anybody.
00:38:41.75\00:38:43.55
Nobody committed adultery;
nobody bore false witness;
00:38:43.75\00:38:47.02
nobody lied.
00:38:47.22\00:38:48.56
Imagine a world like that.
00:38:48.89\00:38:50.73
And I started to realize
that God wants to protect us
00:38:50.93\00:38:55.60
from the painful
results that sin brings.
00:38:56.00\00:39:00.67
He loves us so much that
00:39:01.60\00:39:03.04
He sent His only begotten
Son to die for us on the cross.
00:39:03.44\00:39:06.94
And so as I look at
the Ten Commandments
00:39:07.48\00:39:10.21
I'm just blown away
by how much God loves us,
00:39:10.41\00:39:14.68
how much He
wants to see us happy,
00:39:14.88\00:39:17.52
and how much He wants
to spend eternity with us.
00:39:17.72\00:39:21.49
I now view the Ten Commandments
as such a wonderful blessing -
00:39:21.89\00:39:26.26
a transcript of
God's character -
00:39:26.46\00:39:28.76
and I see His love for me.
00:39:28.96\00:39:32.40
Teach me, God, to be true.
00:39:57.59\00:40:03.53
Teach me how to grow,
00:40:03.73\00:40:09.07
to be kind and gentle.
00:40:09.50\00:40:14.11
Teach me how to obey...
00:40:15.18\00:40:21.15
to be good
00:40:21.55\00:40:25.75
and be faithful.
00:40:26.49\00:40:31.86
Show me the way...
00:40:32.36\00:40:35.00
show me Your pathway
00:40:35.20\00:40:38.17
to follow You
00:40:38.37\00:40:41.90
and change my life completely.
00:40:42.84\00:40:47.71
Be willing to do
00:40:48.68\00:40:51.31
everything I can!
00:40:51.51\00:40:55.65
Oh, Jesus, teach me how
00:40:56.05\00:41:01.42
to forgive
00:41:01.82\00:41:04.89
and oh, Jesus, teach me how
00:41:06.73\00:41:12.10
to forget
00:41:12.30\00:41:14.80
all the things I
should leave behind.
00:41:15.00\00:41:19.37
Give me peace of mind.
00:41:19.57\00:41:24.35
Though everything will pass away
00:41:25.88\00:41:30.09
emptiness replaced by love.
00:41:30.59\00:41:36.52
I trust You; I adore you
00:41:56.38\00:42:01.15
with all my heart.
00:42:01.35\00:42:06.45
To be with You in
the realm of heaven
00:42:06.65\00:42:11.59
never to depart!
00:42:12.09\00:42:17.60
Open my eyes,
00:42:17.80\00:42:20.24
open my heart
00:42:20.44\00:42:22.77
teach me today.
00:42:22.97\00:42:26.21
Make me holy,
00:42:28.04\00:42:30.48
make me faithful,
00:42:30.68\00:42:33.11
show me the way.
00:42:33.31\00:42:39.25
Oo-oo-oo-oo
00:42:44.43\00:42:48.53
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
00:42:49.70\00:42:52.20
show me the way...
00:42:52.40\00:42:58.34
Teach me, God, to be true.
00:43:13.86\00:43:19.66
Teach me how...
00:43:20.06\00:43:22.76
show me the way.
00:43:23.16\00:43:28.64
Amen!
00:43:30.97\00:43:32.31
Amen. Thank you so much.
00:43:36.71\00:43:38.15
You all being blessed so far?
00:43:38.35\00:43:40.25
Amen! Where'd all
those folk come from?
00:43:40.45\00:43:42.68
They weren't here earlier.
00:43:42.88\00:43:44.65
You came! Thank
you... praise the Lord!
00:43:45.55\00:43:47.66
All right! I'm blessed already.
00:43:48.19\00:43:49.59
I'm sitting back and I
get to hear all of this.
00:43:49.79\00:43:51.73
God has blessed 3ABN with
a lot of talent, hasn't He?
00:43:51.93\00:43:55.00
And what I love about it
is all the folk give honor
00:43:55.40\00:43:57.97
and glory and
praise to the Lord.
00:43:58.17\00:44:00.20
Nobody back here is
talking about themselves.
00:44:00.40\00:44:02.60
We're all giving... I
listen to the singers,
00:44:02.80\00:44:05.67
the speakers. Everybody's
interested in one thing:
00:44:05.87\00:44:08.31
that's to take the
talent God has given them
00:44:08.51\00:44:10.45
and give it to a
lost and dying world.
00:44:10.65\00:44:12.98
Yvonne and I wanted to talk
to you for just a few minutes.
00:44:13.38\00:44:15.72
And I wanted to...
Again, I say this and I don't
00:44:16.12\00:44:19.45
just say it without
meaning it. It's from the heart.
00:44:19.65\00:44:22.02
I want to thank you for
your love and your prayers
00:44:22.42\00:44:24.16
and financial support.
I have noticed something.
00:44:24.36\00:44:26.63
Over the years there's
times that it seems like there's
00:44:26.83\00:44:29.76
real heavy attacks on
3ABN. Sometimes not as much.
00:44:29.96\00:44:35.40
But here's what we notice:
00:44:35.60\00:44:36.94
when we have Camp Meetings
on the three angels' messages
00:44:37.27\00:44:40.54
what happens? Attack!
Devil gets angry, doesn't he?
00:44:40.74\00:44:44.35
The devil gets
angry and attacks.
00:44:44.55\00:44:45.88
You have Camp Meeting
on the Ten Commandments
00:44:45.98\00:44:49.05
and the devil gets
angry. That's right.
00:44:49.25\00:44:51.52
Have you ever noticed
that in your own life?
00:44:51.72\00:44:53.12
When you're really
doing something for Jesus
00:44:53.99\00:44:57.76
and you're really committed
00:44:57.96\00:44:59.53
that's when it seems like
the devil wants to hit you
00:44:59.73\00:45:01.63
the worst, right?
00:45:01.83\00:45:03.40
But you know what?
The beauty of this is
00:45:03.87\00:45:05.73
that... I'm with
you... I'm with you...
00:45:06.13\00:45:08.50
Hang in there... that's right.
00:45:08.70\00:45:10.04
We're there. I like
people talk back to me.
00:45:10.07\00:45:11.87
OK? OK. But we've noticed
00:45:12.07\00:45:16.98
that every time we really focus
00:45:17.18\00:45:19.95
on evangelism, doing
something really special,
00:45:20.15\00:45:22.52
the devil... He's got a
head like a young turnip.
00:45:22.72\00:45:25.82
My dad used to say:
"Boy, you've got a head
00:45:26.02\00:45:27.39
like a young turnip.
" The devil never learns
00:45:27.59\00:45:29.16
he's a defeated foe, right?
00:45:29.36\00:45:31.86
And we serve a God who
is greater than the devil.
00:45:32.06\00:45:35.00
"Greater is He that is in us
00:45:35.20\00:45:37.13
than he that is in the world. "
00:45:37.33\00:45:38.93
And so what I
want to let you know
00:45:39.13\00:45:41.90
though there's lots of
things and lots of opposition
00:45:42.10\00:45:45.54
we're... we can't
say we're upset about it.
00:45:45.94\00:45:48.74
Because what Pastor
Odle used to say: "You know,
00:45:48.94\00:45:51.98
if you're not
butting heads with the devil
00:45:52.18\00:45:54.05
you must be
running along beside him. "
00:45:54.25\00:45:56.22
So we don't want
to do that, right?
00:45:56.62\00:45:58.49
We'd rather be
butting heads with the devil.
00:45:58.69\00:46:00.46
So we're blessed!
00:46:00.86\00:46:02.19
And if I could do
anything I wanted to do
00:46:02.29\00:46:04.76
in this whole world, Yvonne -
00:46:04.96\00:46:06.53
and you know this -
00:46:06.73\00:46:08.06
anything I could
do in this whole world
00:46:08.10\00:46:09.96
I'd be right here doing
just what I'm doing right now.
00:46:10.17\00:46:12.77
After 34...
November will be 35 years.
00:46:13.17\00:46:15.57
Isn't that amazing?
00:46:15.77\00:46:17.11
Thirty-five years, and I'm al-
ways amazed when I go somewhere
00:46:17.14\00:46:20.58
and these men about 6'3"
or 6'4", have big deep voices
00:46:20.78\00:46:24.81
say: "Brother
Danny, I really love 3ABN.
00:46:25.01\00:46:28.25
I've been watching
you since I was a baby. "
00:46:28.45\00:46:30.25
And all of a sudden
it hits me how old I am
00:46:31.35\00:46:34.49
and how long 3ABN
has been in existence.
00:46:34.89\00:46:38.23
But I'm so thankful for
each and every one of you.
00:46:38.63\00:46:41.83
See, 3ABN is not
about individuals.
00:46:42.03\00:46:44.50
And that's the thing:
people come and people go.
00:46:45.20\00:46:47.17
Right? People
come and people go.
00:46:47.37\00:46:49.67
3ABN is about getting
a message to the world.
00:46:50.07\00:46:53.17
Jill gave us a
little talk this morning
00:46:53.38\00:46:55.84
and she listed several things.
00:46:56.04\00:46:58.11
And what is 3ABN, and
our vision is to continue
00:46:58.31\00:47:01.95
to take an undiluted
three angels' messages -
00:47:02.15\00:47:05.19
one that would
counteract the counterfeit -
00:47:05.39\00:47:07.96
into all the world.
00:47:08.16\00:47:09.52
And that's why God
blesses. Even when we mess up
00:47:09.72\00:47:12.29
individually God
continues to bless
00:47:12.49\00:47:16.06
the ministry of 3ABN.
00:47:16.26\00:47:18.07
We can repent; God
forgives us from that...
00:47:18.27\00:47:20.34
whatever it is that we're
doing. And you in your life
00:47:20.54\00:47:22.57
He's willing to forgive you
whatever if you're really sorry.
00:47:22.77\00:47:26.01
And God will use you to do
great and mighty, marvelous
00:47:26.41\00:47:29.41
things when you come
in the name of the Lord.
00:47:29.61\00:47:31.58
And so I think it's an
incredible blessing of God
00:47:31.98\00:47:35.62
that all of these years
after a board meeting today
00:47:35.82\00:47:38.32
Carmelita said she felt like
she was standing on holy ground.
00:47:38.52\00:47:41.69
You realize, and this
is amazing: if you could be
00:47:42.09\00:47:44.59
sitting where we sit every day
00:47:44.79\00:47:46.70
and in the EXCOM meetings
that we have, and we're looking
00:47:46.90\00:47:49.93
at the millions and
millions of dollars it takes
00:47:50.13\00:47:52.43
every year to
continue to grow this ministry
00:47:52.63\00:47:55.74
into all the world and
that we can sit here today
00:47:55.94\00:47:59.07
and say "We have
no long-term debt. "
00:47:59.27\00:48:01.14
We have no long-term debt
where we're paying interest on
00:48:01.94\00:48:04.58
loans. Isn't that
amazing? After all these years!
00:48:04.78\00:48:07.58
It's a miracle... it really
is. And we always see God's hand
00:48:07.78\00:48:12.09
moving in this ministry.
This ministry is bigger
00:48:12.29\00:48:14.56
than any one person.
That's why it's not called
00:48:14.76\00:48:16.73
Danny Shelton Ministries.
00:48:16.93\00:48:18.26
This is Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:48:18.39\00:48:20.63
And God's hand has been on this
ministry from its inception.
00:48:21.03\00:48:25.23
That's why He keeps blessing
00:48:25.43\00:48:27.44
and blessing and blessing.
00:48:27.64\00:48:28.97
That's why you're here.
00:48:29.00\00:48:30.34
That's why so many people
00:48:30.37\00:48:31.71
who watch 3ABN will
just walk into a church
00:48:31.77\00:48:34.84
ready to be baptized.
00:48:35.04\00:48:36.68
Because they have seen the
gospel being presented to them
00:48:36.88\00:48:40.88
and they go into churches
ready... ready for baptism.
00:48:41.08\00:48:44.95
This ministry is
bigger than any one person.
00:48:45.15\00:48:47.86
This is God's ministry.
00:48:48.06\00:48:49.59
And every day we see His
hand working in this ministry.
00:48:49.79\00:48:54.13
It's not our
ministry... it's God's ministry.
00:48:54.33\00:48:56.33
That's right. And
it's your ministry
00:48:56.53\00:48:57.93
because without you we
have no ministry. That's right.
00:48:58.13\00:49:00.64
We couldn't do
anything. My dad used to say:
00:49:00.84\00:49:02.87
"I'm so poor I
couldn't feed a sick chicken. "
00:49:03.07\00:49:05.01
Now some of you are not farmers.
00:49:05.41\00:49:07.24
You may... Don't
dwell on that too long.
00:49:07.44\00:49:09.84
Don't worry about it. It just
meant you were kind of poor.
00:49:10.05\00:49:12.85
So we couldn't feed a
lot of chickens, and then
00:49:13.05\00:49:15.75
he would explain to
me: "Son, a sick chicken...
00:49:15.95\00:49:17.82
chickens don't each much
and sick ones eat even less.
00:49:18.02\00:49:20.72
I couldn't even
afford one of those. "
00:49:20.92\00:49:22.52
So without you all we
couldn't do what we're doing.
00:49:22.72\00:49:25.19
But I'm amazed
that time and time again
00:49:25.59\00:49:28.73
just when we need a miracle...
00:49:28.93\00:49:30.87
a financial miracle, any kind...
00:49:31.27\00:49:33.34
just when we
need it, it happens.
00:49:33.54\00:49:35.00
Yes. There's times
there's no money in the bank.
00:49:35.20\00:49:37.04
We talked about
it at board meeting.
00:49:37.24\00:49:38.77
I remember we were
going on faith so much -
00:49:38.97\00:49:41.58
several years ago -
that we got to the end
00:49:41.78\00:49:45.51
of the month... We
got to our satellite time
00:49:45.71\00:49:48.12
our transponder bill
was $250,000 or more a month
00:49:48.32\00:49:53.32
and we needed $90,000
to pay our satellite fees
00:49:53.52\00:49:57.86
and we had to have
by like, whatever day.
00:49:58.06\00:50:00.46
Say on a Thursday.
00:50:00.66\00:50:02.00
A week or two in advance the
money wasn't there in the mail.
00:50:02.33\00:50:05.63
So I remember
saying to Mollie...
00:50:05.83\00:50:07.34
I went in to do a program.
The mail wasn't there yet.
00:50:07.54\00:50:10.51
I said: "When I come
out I want you to show me
00:50:10.71\00:50:12.94
where that money came from.
00:50:13.14\00:50:14.61
I have no doubt that God is
going to supply this $90,000. "
00:50:14.81\00:50:18.11
'Cause if we don't
when the satellites out
00:50:18.31\00:50:20.48
we're off the
air... we're black.
00:50:20.68\00:50:22.38
So I said: "There's
no nothing, no signal.
00:50:22.58\00:50:25.92
But I know God has got the money
00:50:26.12\00:50:28.19
and we can still wire it this
afternoon. " It was the very day
00:50:28.39\00:50:31.63
we had to have it. So I
came out of the program.
00:50:31.83\00:50:34.36
I expected Mollie Sue
to be jumping up and down.
00:50:34.56\00:50:36.90
And there she is.
Mollie, raise your hand.
00:50:37.30\00:50:39.43
I expected Mollie Sue
to be jumping up and down
00:50:39.63\00:50:41.87
and say: "Guess what?
We got 90 some thousand. "
00:50:42.07\00:50:44.44
I looked at her, I said:
"Mollie, did the Lord give us
00:50:44.64\00:50:48.14
some money? " Or "How
much did He give us? "
00:50:48.34\00:50:49.94
is what I think I said.
00:50:50.15\00:50:51.48
And she said: "Well,
we didn't get that much. "
00:50:51.51\00:50:53.72
And I'm like: "What? "
00:50:53.92\00:50:55.25
She said: "No...
we didn't really. "
00:50:55.28\00:50:56.62
And I said: "He's
always supplied every need. "
00:50:56.65\00:50:59.25
I don't know if there
was $10,000 or something.
00:50:59.45\00:51:02.02
Wasn't a lot... but I
knew we needed $90,000.
00:51:02.22\00:51:05.16
It just hit me, you
know: "What is going on here?
00:51:05.36\00:51:08.96
Couldn't be God...
has to be something. "
00:51:09.16\00:51:11.27
So as we're talking
I looked on her desk.
00:51:11.47\00:51:13.80
And anything that says personal,
if you write to me that Danny
00:51:14.00\00:51:16.97
Shelton personal
it'll go... I open it.
00:51:17.17\00:51:19.91
So I saw a
certified letter there
00:51:20.31\00:51:22.41
and I said:
"What's that, Mollie? "
00:51:22.61\00:51:23.95
She said: "Oh, that's just
a personal letter for you. "
00:51:23.98\00:51:26.35
And I said:
"Well let me open it. "
00:51:26.55\00:51:27.95
I opened it up with my hand up.
00:51:28.15\00:51:30.55
There was a
check in it for $90,000
00:51:30.75\00:51:33.12
Amen! that
someone had sent to us.
00:51:33.32\00:51:35.79
Now we had time by
faith to get that money
00:51:37.59\00:51:40.46
and say: "Look, we're going to
wire it or we'll send it to you
00:51:40.66\00:51:43.26
overnight. You'll have it
whatever... " I don't know
00:51:43.47\00:51:45.17
the exact arrangements.
But we have seen that
00:51:45.37\00:51:47.87
time and time and time again.
00:51:48.07\00:51:50.84
And it lets us know
that God is on the throne.
00:51:51.04\00:51:54.64
He's still leading.
When He says to "Go ye
00:51:54.84\00:51:56.81
into all the world" He
will provide every need.
00:51:57.01\00:51:59.68
That's right. But He does
it through each and every one
00:51:59.88\00:52:02.35
of you. And so I'm
going to ask you this year
00:52:02.55\00:52:04.69
in the midst of a lot
of attacks that's on 3ABN
00:52:05.09\00:52:08.32
by different people,
different individuals,
00:52:08.52\00:52:10.53
we expect that. Because
when you're doing something
00:52:10.73\00:52:13.90
and you're
exposing Satan to the world
00:52:14.10\00:52:16.80
people aren't going to like it.
00:52:17.00\00:52:18.33
And many of those are within
the church... not just without.
00:52:18.47\00:52:20.87
But you know what? God's
business is taking the gospel
00:52:21.27\00:52:24.61
to the world. He
made it our business.
00:52:24.81\00:52:26.14
Said: "Go ye into all the world"
and He will supply every need
00:52:26.31\00:52:29.41
if we're faithful to
the commission that He gave
00:52:29.61\00:52:32.31
each and every one of us as
Christians and in particular
00:52:32.51\00:52:35.48
as Seventh-day
Adventist Christians
00:52:35.68\00:52:37.02
to get the three
angels' messages to the world.
00:52:37.05\00:52:39.95
So I'm excited. I
can tell you this:
00:52:40.16\00:52:42.42
in all the years -
the 30-some years -
00:52:42.62\00:52:44.46
I don't think I've
ever been more excited
00:52:44.66\00:52:46.43
to be a part of a
ministry than I am today.
00:52:46.63\00:52:49.50
And I'm telling you
that with my hand up.
00:52:49.70\00:52:51.50
Yvonne can tell you.
And I don't know if I'm dumb
00:52:51.70\00:52:53.90
or what, but I don't lose
any sleep over stuff, do I?
00:52:54.10\00:52:56.47
You really don't. You would
know that better than anybody.
00:52:56.67\00:52:59.11
It's really
amazing... he really doesn't.
00:52:59.31\00:53:02.04
The Lord's given him
peace and he just goes to sleep.
00:53:02.24\00:53:04.68
And he doesn't... I
might be a little bit concerned
00:53:04.88\00:53:07.55
but he just... he
just goes on to sleep!
00:53:07.75\00:53:09.95
No. 'cause I
learned a long time ago
00:53:10.15\00:53:12.05
it's God's ministry
and it's not all about me.
00:53:12.25\00:53:15.59
When I'm gone... I had, it's
been almost eleven months ago
00:53:15.79\00:53:18.83
now, 10-/2 months ago,
I had open heart surgery.
00:53:19.03\00:53:21.10
And so when that
happened - a quadruple bypass -
00:53:21.50\00:53:25.03
when literally they were
getting ready to take me into
00:53:25.23\00:53:29.14
surgery I kept waiting
for... where is that shot that's
00:53:29.34\00:53:31.94
supposed to make you
have the "don't cares? "
00:53:32.14\00:53:33.71
I didn't get that one.
00:53:34.11\00:53:35.44
And so the anticipation
of it. But as I laid there
00:53:35.74\00:53:39.01
I realized what a peace I had.
00:53:39.21\00:53:40.95
And I said: "You know what? "
To myself I'm... 'cause there's
00:53:41.32\00:53:44.05
a lot of family and
friends were around.
00:53:44.25\00:53:45.85
But I said: "I win either way. "
00:53:46.25\00:53:48.06
"If I die, the first
face I'll see is Jesus
00:53:48.46\00:53:51.06
and it'll just
seem like a moment. "
00:53:51.26\00:53:53.53
"If I live, I'm back to
the family, friends, 3ABN. "
00:53:53.93\00:53:58.40
But I had a peace about 3ABN.
00:53:58.60\00:54:00.57
I wasn't worried
what's going to happen
00:54:00.77\00:54:02.54
because it's not built on me.
00:54:02.74\00:54:04.37
It's built on so
many people here.
00:54:04.57\00:54:06.84
It's built on God, but He
has hand-picked so many people
00:54:07.04\00:54:10.68
like Greg and Jill
Morikone, that's come.
00:54:10.88\00:54:13.31
Young folk that's here...
you've seen them for years.
00:54:13.52\00:54:15.58
Great leaders. Jason
Bergmann, our new CFO.
00:54:15.78\00:54:19.35
I mean... Jason
Bradley... all of these
00:54:19.55\00:54:21.69
people coming in that
have a burden for the ministry.
00:54:21.89\00:54:25.16
They love people, they love
souls; they love the message.
00:54:25.36\00:54:27.66
So when I went there
I said: "You know what?
00:54:27.86\00:54:30.63
Either way I win. "
And I was so thankful.
00:54:30.83\00:54:33.34
In your own life I want you
to know that you can have peace
00:54:33.54\00:54:38.04
that passeth all understanding.
00:54:38.24\00:54:39.57
I don't care what's
going on in your life today
00:54:39.67\00:54:42.14
give it to Jesus.
00:54:42.54\00:54:43.88
You give it to Jesus
He'll take that from you.
00:54:43.98\00:54:46.25
He'll take that load from you.
00:54:46.45\00:54:47.98
He'll take that
weight off your shoulders.
00:54:48.18\00:54:49.88
You'll find
yourself whistling a tune
00:54:50.09\00:54:52.49
that's going to be a good tune.
00:54:52.69\00:54:54.02
Something like Jesus
loves me, this I know
00:54:54.06\00:54:56.06
for the Bible tells me so.
00:54:56.26\00:54:58.09
So praise God it's
not about our feelings.
00:54:58.29\00:55:00.70
It's to realize that we're
all sinners saved by grace.
00:55:00.90\00:55:04.43
That's right. And we
have an opportunity today
00:55:04.63\00:55:07.57
that we know the
message that God has...
00:55:07.77\00:55:10.54
When Jesus was hanging on
the cross we were on His mind.
00:55:10.74\00:55:13.27
Amen. So He could see
each and every one of us
00:55:13.48\00:55:15.91
would have the opportunity
00:55:16.11\00:55:17.45
to be a part of ministries
that are taking the gospel
00:55:17.58\00:55:20.95
into all the world. We
don't have time to talk about
00:55:21.15\00:55:23.52
the literally thousands
of people around the world
00:55:23.72\00:55:26.15
that are finding
Jesus, being baptized.
00:55:26.35\00:55:28.46
Anybody here come to the
Lord or baptized in church
00:55:28.66\00:55:31.46
because of 3ABN? All right,
here's some hands right here.
00:55:31.66\00:55:34.80
Thank you. Anybody
know anybody in your church?
00:55:35.00\00:55:37.80
Anybody in your church walked
in because of the ministry?
00:55:38.00\00:55:41.37
Here's hands going up.
00:55:41.57\00:55:42.90
So praise the Lord!
00:55:42.94\00:55:44.27
And I'm just...
Again, I'm so thankful.
00:55:44.37\00:55:46.01
And Camp Meeting
is a special time.
00:55:46.21\00:55:47.91
It is a special
time... it's a great time
00:55:48.54\00:55:49.94
because, again, our
spirits get refreshed.
00:55:50.15\00:55:52.81
We hear different
perspectives on the Word.
00:55:53.01\00:55:55.42
The Ten Commandments. I
mean, what a blessing it is
00:55:55.82\00:55:58.52
to hear about God's
law of love and liberty.
00:55:58.72\00:56:01.46
So we're going to
be learning new things.
00:56:01.66\00:56:03.63
And all of us are learning,
so it's such a blessing.
00:56:03.83\00:56:06.59
Oh yeah, I almost forgot.
00:56:06.80\00:56:08.56
The Ten Commandments
Twice Removed books:
00:56:08.76\00:56:10.80
praise the Lord for
people who put in money, donate
00:56:11.00\00:56:14.40
for those books. Those of
you that want to take some home
00:56:14.60\00:56:17.41
take 100, 200, 500.
00:56:17.61\00:56:19.27
If you promise to pass
them out, they're free.
00:56:19.47\00:56:22.34
Doesn't cost you anything.
00:56:22.54\00:56:23.88
You take them, but when you do
00:56:23.91\00:56:25.25
we want you to be able to
pass them out to your friends,
00:56:25.28\00:56:27.62
your neighbors, your enemies...
00:56:27.82\00:56:29.15
everybody around. Get
your churches involved.
00:56:29.18\00:56:31.35
And so we
appreciate you doing that.
00:56:31.55\00:56:33.89
So they're here.
Those of you at home:
00:56:34.09\00:56:35.49
I think all it costs you
is the shipping, which is like
00:56:35.69\00:56:37.73
22 cents a book. And
we want you to take them
00:56:37.93\00:56:41.93
and pass them out.
Several million have been out
00:56:42.13\00:56:44.53
and we've seen...
several years ago I think,
00:56:44.73\00:56:46.60
Shelley, was it something
like 35 or 40 Sunday pastors
00:56:46.80\00:56:50.77
had converted to
the seventh-day Sabbath
00:56:50.97\00:56:53.01
just from reading the
books... which is amazing.
00:56:53.21\00:56:55.74
In fact, we're going to
have one here Sabbath morning
00:56:55.94\00:56:58.01
that he and his entire
church made a conversion.
00:56:58.21\00:57:02.02
We'll let him
give his own testimony.
00:57:02.22\00:57:04.39
But I'm excited as you can tell.
00:57:04.59\00:57:06.42
God is on the throne, and
having Spring Camp Meeting
00:57:06.62\00:57:09.29
is amazing. And so
we're looking forward
00:57:09.49\00:57:11.96
to the next few days together.
00:57:12.16\00:57:13.80
Those of you from a distance
00:57:14.00\00:57:15.93
if you get a
chance drive here to 3ABN.
00:57:16.13\00:57:18.43
I know that you'll be blessed.
00:57:18.83\00:57:20.17
We're going to take a short
break, then right after that
00:57:20.30\00:57:23.81
break we're going to have one of
your favorite people and mine:
00:57:24.01\00:57:26.51
Brother James
Rafferty. Yes! Can't wait!
00:57:26.71\00:57:29.21
