The hour is urgent, as darkness
is dispelled by the light of
00:00:01.63\00:00:07.24
God's Word, a new day begins.
00:00:07.24\00:00:09.67
Jesus, the light of
the world is shining.
00:00:10.41\00:00:13.38
Prepare your hearts to
proclaim the final cry.
00:00:14.04\00:00:17.18
This is 3ABN
Summer Camp Meeting.
00:00:17.88\00:00:20.85
Camp Meeting is almost over.
00:00:24.22\00:00:26.99
Isn't that amazing?
00:00:27.06\00:00:27.89
Thank you guys
for hanging in there.
00:00:27.89\00:00:30.13
You know the first time I heard
James preach, I was 19 years
00:00:30.39\00:00:33.83
old.
00:00:33.83\00:00:34.30
And I said to myself, I
think this guy is the real deal.
00:00:35.13\00:00:38.93
And I tell you that I have,
like probably no other, I have
00:00:40.30\00:00:44.54
tested him, I have tried
him, and he is the real deal.
00:00:44.54\00:00:49.08
I'm so thankful for James,
and I am probably one of his
00:00:49.98\00:00:53.95
greatest fans.
00:00:53.95\00:00:57.45
Spirit is going to
bless us through him.
00:00:57.45\00:00:59.15
But first we're going to
be having a special music from
00:00:59.45\00:01:01.89
Tim, and then James will be
preaching Receiving the Remnant
00:01:01.89\00:01:06.16
into the Fold.
00:01:06.16\00:01:07.10
Far away in the depths of my
spirit tonight Rolls a melody
00:01:20.28\00:01:31.89
sweeter than song In celestial
-like streams it unceasingly
00:01:31.89\00:01:45.83
flows or my soul
like an infinite calm.
00:01:45.83\00:01:57.21
I am resting tonight
in this wonderful peace.
00:01:59.05\00:02:08.39
I'm resting
sweetly in Jesus' control.
00:02:09.19\00:02:18.03
I'm safe from all danger by my
day, and His glory is flooding
00:02:19.87\00:02:35.28
my soul.
00:02:35.28\00:02:39.89
So I sing peace,
peace, this wonderful peace.
00:02:41.26\00:02:52.73
Coming down from the Father of
sweet, over my spirit forever I
00:02:53.40\00:03:13.59
pray in
fathomless billows of love.
00:03:13.59\00:03:23.93
If you know
that, sing it with me.
00:03:23.93\00:03:25.83
Why sing peace, peace, that's
beautiful, wonderful peace.
00:03:26.10\00:03:36.44
Coming down from the
00:03:36.81\00:03:40.72
Father, sweep over, sweep
over my spirit forever I pray in
00:03:45.05\00:04:03.67
fathomless billows of love.
00:04:03.67\00:04:12.65
Thank you, thank
you, thank you, Tim.
00:04:26.63\00:04:29.40
Boom!
00:04:30.77\00:04:31.27
Got my box of truth.
00:04:32.23\00:04:33.64
Do you have your box of truth?
00:04:34.17\00:04:35.77
I got my box of truth.
00:04:36.30\00:04:37.91
I hope you got
your box of truth.
00:04:37.97\00:04:39.21
We all need the truth.
00:04:39.31\00:04:40.68
Tonight we're going to
be talking about the truth.
00:04:41.64\00:04:44.21
The message that God has
given me that I've been asked to
00:04:44.41\00:04:48.25
share is entitled to receiving
the remnant into the fold.
00:04:48.25\00:04:54.36
Receiving the
remnant into the fold.
00:04:55.09\00:04:56.73
Let's pray together.
00:04:56.89\00:04:57.73
Father in heaven, just want to
thank you this evening for the
00:04:58.33\00:05:01.23
opportunity that we have to
again partake of the message of
00:05:01.23\00:05:05.30
your word that you've given to
us and especially in these last
00:05:05.30\00:05:07.64
days.
00:05:07.64\00:05:08.10
Father, this time is yours.
00:05:08.30\00:05:10.17
This desk, this
sacred desk is yours.
00:05:10.91\00:05:13.88
These people are yours.
00:05:14.14\00:05:15.81
And we say by faith
that our hearts are yours.
00:05:17.21\00:05:21.25
We ask that you'll cleanse us.
00:05:21.78\00:05:22.92
We ask that you will infill us,
that your spirit will work on
00:05:23.02\00:05:27.09
us and in us and
through us and in spite of us.
00:05:27.09\00:05:31.53
Guide us tonight, Father.
00:05:31.96\00:05:32.96
Give us more of that
reign, that truth, we ask.
00:05:33.03\00:05:37.17
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:05:38.03\00:05:39.73
Receiving the
remnant into the fold.
00:05:43.47\00:05:46.21
Our scripture reading is going
to be in John chapter 4 verse
00:05:46.61\00:05:49.08
23.
00:05:49.08\00:05:52.41
here.
00:05:52.41\00:05:57.99
shall worship
the Father in truth.
00:05:57.99\00:06:01.52
For the Father
seeks such to worship him.
00:06:02.06\00:06:04.79
What's that?
00:06:08.10\00:06:08.76
Spirit.
00:06:10.30\00:06:10.87
Oh, sorry, I've got the
historic Seventh-day Adventist
00:06:11.47\00:06:14.47
version.
00:06:14.47\00:06:14.77
You forgot something.
00:06:15.54\00:06:16.47
You forgot something, Pastor.
00:06:16.57\00:06:17.41
I forgot something?
00:06:17.41\00:06:18.11
Yeah, you forgot something.
00:06:18.24\00:06:18.97
I'm sorry.
00:06:19.21\00:06:19.74
You forgot something.
00:06:20.21\00:06:21.04
Oh, spirit.
00:06:23.41\00:06:24.38
But I've got the truth.
00:06:25.68\00:06:26.95
I've got the truth.
00:06:28.38\00:06:29.45
Hmm.
00:06:33.15\00:06:33.62
Oh, I got the wrong version.
00:06:34.99\00:06:36.16
Here's the
version I needed to read.
00:06:36.49\00:06:37.86
But the hour comes and now is
when the true worshipers shall
00:06:38.26\00:06:41.30
worship the Father in spirit.
00:06:41.30\00:06:43.26
For the Father
seeks such to worship him.
00:06:43.60\00:06:45.47
That's not it either?
00:06:47.34\00:06:48.34
Oh, that's the progressive
Seventh-day Adventist version.
00:06:50.94\00:06:53.61
Is it better?
00:06:58.55\00:06:59.41
Which one's better?
00:06:59.45\00:07:00.32
The spirit version
or the truth version?
00:07:00.38\00:07:02.08
Well, this is kind of tough.
00:07:05.65\00:07:07.66
You know, whenever Jesus
met with tough issues, he always
00:07:09.16\00:07:12.66
spoke in parables.
00:07:12.66\00:07:14.00
I think we need a parable.
00:07:15.23\00:07:16.33
How about the
parable of the two boxes?
00:07:17.03\00:07:19.67
The kingdom of heaven is
like unto two boxes and one
00:07:23.81\00:07:28.98
pedestal.
00:07:28.98\00:07:29.88
The two boxes
were spirit and truth.
00:07:32.18\00:07:34.82
And the Lord gave them to
his servants, saying, keep these
00:07:35.75\00:07:40.16
for me and put them on that
pedestal for everyone else to
00:07:40.16\00:07:44.09
see.
00:07:44.09\00:07:44.46
And when everyone has
seen them, then I will return.
00:07:45.49\00:07:49.36
And some of his servants put
one box on the pedestal so that
00:07:50.97\00:07:55.80
people could see as
the master had told them.
00:07:55.80\00:07:59.94
But the other box,
they left on the floor.
00:08:00.61\00:08:04.11
Then some of the servants,
seeing this, took the one box
00:08:06.05\00:08:09.48
off the pedestal and they put
it on the floor and they took
00:08:09.48\00:08:13.76
the other neglected box
and put it on the pedestal.
00:08:13.76\00:08:21.43
You following me so far?
00:08:22.36\00:08:23.43
Then Jesus asked his disciples,
saying, which servant think he
00:08:24.97\00:08:31.57
put the right
box on the pedestal?
00:08:31.57\00:08:34.28
And some of the disciples said,
they that put the truth on the
00:08:35.18\00:08:39.28
pedestal.
00:08:39.28\00:08:44.19
pedestal.
00:08:44.19\00:08:44.95
And there was a disagreement
among the disciples of Christ.
00:08:45.89\00:08:48.89
So then they put one box on top
of the other box so that both
00:08:51.59\00:08:59.03
boxes were on the pedestal.
00:08:59.03\00:09:00.54
But the disciples still argued
about which box should be above
00:09:01.10\00:09:05.71
the other box on the pedestal.
00:09:05.71\00:09:07.98
Are you following me?
00:09:09.64\00:09:11.11
And they kept moving the boxes
back and forth so the people
00:09:13.25\00:09:15.78
looking on saw the disciples
moving the boxes and talking
00:09:15.78\00:09:18.89
about which box was more
important than the other.
00:09:18.89\00:09:20.89
And in time the attention of
the people was on the disciples
00:09:21.02\00:09:23.79
more than on the boxes.
00:09:23.79\00:09:24.99
Then one of the disciples, the
youngest one, who some people
00:09:28.20\00:09:33.27
thought looked like he was
12 and even told him so much to
00:09:33.27\00:09:37.44
his vexation,
00:09:37.44\00:09:38.41
this younger disciple, though
he was older than he looked, he
00:09:42.68\00:09:49.48
studied the boxes more closely
than the other disciples did,
00:09:49.48\00:09:53.09
for this disciple had
been to the 3ABN Sod School of
00:09:53.32\00:09:56.32
Discipleship.
00:09:56.32\00:09:57.09
And he had learned how to study
so as not to get theologically
00:09:57.86\00:10:01.26
boxed in.
00:10:01.26\00:10:02.16
This Sod graduate who was
not boxed in noticed that on the
00:10:03.03\00:10:08.24
back of one of the boxes
was written the words Spirit and
00:10:08.24\00:10:14.64
Truth.
00:10:14.64\00:10:15.31
This caused him much rejoicing
so that while the other
00:10:17.75\00:10:21.75
disciples were disputing
among themselves on their social
00:10:21.75\00:10:25.19
media accounts as to which box
was the greatest, the pro-truth
00:10:25.19\00:10:29.36
disciples arguing with a
mean spirit and the pro-spirit
00:10:29.36\00:10:32.56
disciples diminishing
the truth, while the other
00:10:32.56\00:10:35.73
disciples were disputing,
this disciple took the one box
00:10:35.73\00:10:39.03
labeled Spirit and Truth
and placed it on this pedestal.
00:10:39.03\00:10:43.24
But he noticed
that it was empty.
00:10:44.01\00:10:46.61
Unlike the truth box, which
was full of all kinds of amazing
00:10:47.18\00:10:50.15
facts and truth for the day,
this Sod disciple noticed that
00:10:50.15\00:10:56.02
the spirit box was empty.
00:10:56.02\00:10:57.55
So he took the lid off both
boxes, thus opening them both
00:10:57.82\00:11:03.22
up, and then he took all the
amazing truth for the day and
00:11:03.22\00:11:07.30
filled the spirit box.
00:11:07.30\00:11:09.06
And when he was done, he turned
the box around to show everyone
00:11:11.43\00:11:15.84
the other side.
00:11:15.84\00:11:16.94
The other side.
00:11:17.81\00:11:18.84
When the other disciples saw
what the Sod disciple had done,
00:11:21.41\00:11:24.68
many of them, though not all,
for some of them had grown to
00:11:24.75\00:11:29.52
like religious disputing
more than anything else.
00:11:29.52\00:11:32.39
And they really didn't want a
solution that would quiet their
00:11:32.39\00:11:35.56
arguing.
00:11:35.56\00:11:35.99
Yet many of the disciples,
seeing that the Spirit and the
00:11:37.13\00:11:39.33
truth were both lifted up on
the pedestal together for all
00:11:39.33\00:11:43.10
to see, laid aside their
arguing and their disputing and
00:11:43.10\00:11:46.74
rejoiced in the
Spirit and the truth.
00:11:46.74\00:11:49.17
Now, it came to pass that their
rejoicing in Spirit and truth
00:11:51.57\00:11:56.24
was so loud and so genuine that
it drowned out the voices of
00:11:56.24\00:12:02.78
those disciples
that loved to dispute.
00:12:02.78\00:12:04.82
And everyone came to see
this wonderful unity of the two
00:12:06.49\00:12:09.32
boxes coming into one box
without diminishing either the
00:12:09.32\00:12:17.10
Spirit or the truth.
00:12:17.10\00:12:18.03
And many of those who saw also
rejoiced and told others how
00:12:18.93\00:12:21.67
the Spirit and the truth
were now united so that the good
00:12:21.67\00:12:26.44
news of the truth in spirit was
shared as a witness to all the
00:12:26.44\00:12:32.18
world in spite of the disputes.
00:12:32.18\00:12:34.45
And the rejoicing of the
disciples in Spirit and truth
00:12:36.55\00:12:41.16
was so loud that the Lord heard
it, and He came near to see if
00:12:41.16\00:12:48.66
in fact the disciples had done
as He commanded them before He
00:12:48.66\00:12:53.60
left.
00:12:53.60\00:12:54.04
And upon close investigation,
the Lord saw that His truth had
00:12:55.44\00:13:00.41
been combined with His Spirit
and put on the pedestal for all
00:13:00.41\00:13:05.21
to see.
00:13:05.21\00:13:05.95
And the Lord also rejoiced.
00:13:06.51\00:13:08.08
Yet the Lord also noted
that those who had continued to
00:13:09.18\00:13:11.79
dispute were not happy with the
Spirit and truth being united
00:13:11.79\00:13:14.56
because it diminished their
arguing which had been made
00:13:14.56\00:13:17.13
into a ministry by which
they sustained themselves.
00:13:17.13\00:13:19.23
And the Lord left the disciples
who had developed a character
00:13:20.53\00:13:23.16
of loving to
dispute to their disputing.
00:13:23.16\00:13:25.17
Then He took with Him those
disciples who rejoiced in the
00:13:26.10\00:13:28.87
unity of Spirit and truth so
that they could worship Him as
00:13:28.87\00:13:33.71
they now long to do from
the very depths of their hearts,
00:13:33.71\00:13:38.51
for they had learned from
experience that worshiping God
00:13:39.35\00:13:45.45
in Spirit and truth not only
glorified their Creator, but
00:13:45.45\00:13:49.96
that it also satisfied the
deepest longing of their own
00:13:49.96\00:13:53.40
hearts.
00:13:53.40\00:13:53.86
And then Jesus would say
something like, in closing this
00:13:55.40\00:13:59.73
parable, those who have
ears to hear, let them hear.
00:13:59.73\00:14:05.24
So really that's
why we came here.
00:14:07.08\00:14:09.14
We came here to not debunk
the truth and not diminish the
00:14:09.41\00:14:14.85
Spirit, but to take the Spirit
and combine it with the truth,
00:14:14.85\00:14:24.23
to take the box off the Spirit
and the box off the truth, the
00:14:27.03\00:14:31.67
truth, the truth.
00:14:31.67\00:14:33.44
You know, some of these
books are actually free.
00:14:34.17\00:14:35.97
You can just take them
with you and start a ministry, a
00:14:36.24\00:14:39.17
publishing ministry, an
outreach ministry in your
00:14:39.17\00:14:41.98
churches and take all this
truth and put it in the Spirit
00:14:41.98\00:14:45.15
box.
00:14:45.15\00:14:52.79
Spirit and truth.
00:14:52.79\00:14:53.82
And so Jesus said in John
chapter 4, verses 23 and 24,
00:15:02.03\00:15:06.77
John chapter 4, verses 23
and 24, but the hour comes, the
00:15:09.97\00:15:17.15
hour comes.
00:15:17.15\00:15:17.95
He's looking ahead to our
time and now is when the true
00:15:18.98\00:15:25.59
worshipers shall worship the
Father in Spirit and in truth.
00:15:25.59\00:15:31.73
For the Father is
seeking such to worship him.
00:15:32.89\00:15:37.23
God is Spirit and they that
worship him must worship him in
00:15:37.93\00:15:42.74
Spirit and in truth.
00:15:42.74\00:15:44.77
When we think about this
parable, when we think about
00:15:48.78\00:15:51.75
this truth, we think about
the words of Christ, the time is
00:15:51.75\00:15:57.09
now coming.
00:15:57.09\00:15:57.62
We could say that it's,
we could call it a long train
00:15:59.15\00:16:02.82
coming.
00:16:02.82\00:16:03.26
Those of you who are older
will know, I think I was in high
00:16:04.03\00:16:07.30
school.
00:16:07.30\00:16:07.83
Have you ever been stuck
waiting for a long train?
00:16:08.86\00:16:10.43
The lights are flashing at
the railroad crossing, you're
00:16:12.00\00:16:14.14
sitting there and the train's
going by and it's not going by
00:16:14.14\00:16:16.97
very fast.
00:16:16.97\00:16:22.01
one after another.
00:16:22.01\00:16:23.31
I was at a railroad crossing
one time, the train was going
00:16:23.58\00:16:26.18
by, it was going by really slow
and then it stopped and then it
00:16:26.18\00:16:29.65
backed up.
00:16:29.65\00:16:32.35
different track and
it wants to go forward?
00:16:32.35\00:16:33.69
Long train coming.
00:16:35.19\00:16:36.42
Welcome to God's world.
00:16:38.23\00:16:39.26
Sometimes we say, I wish Jesus
would come sooner, why doesn't
00:16:40.73\00:16:43.40
God come?
00:16:43.40\00:16:44.03
And that echoes up to heaven.
00:16:44.33\00:16:46.37
God says, man, I
wish I could come sooner.
00:16:47.94\00:16:50.17
So Bob Dylan put out an album,
long train coming, in 1979, I
00:16:53.61\00:16:58.51
was in my senior year of high
school, graduated in 1980, and
00:16:58.51\00:17:02.82
in it he had a song entitled,
God has served somebody.
00:17:02.82\00:17:06.62
It was a long song, there was
seven lyrics all together and
00:17:08.36\00:17:11.76
then you go back to the chorus,
but here's one that I wanted to
00:17:11.76\00:17:14.36
bring out for you, it says,
you may be a preacher with your
00:17:14.36\00:17:16.90
spiritual pride,
00:17:16.90\00:17:17.90
you may be a city councilman
taking bribes on the side, you
00:17:21.77\00:17:25.91
may be working in a barbershop,
you may know how to cut hair,
00:17:25.91\00:17:28.68
you may be somebody's mistress,
you may be somebody's heir, but
00:17:29.11\00:17:33.75
you gotta serve, you're
gonna have to serve somebody.
00:17:33.75\00:17:36.45
Yes indeed, you're
gonna have to serve somebody.
00:17:36.82\00:17:39.82
Well, it may be the devil, or
it may be the Lord, but you're
00:17:40.86\00:17:45.73
gonna have to serve somebody.
00:17:45.73\00:17:47.03
It's a long song, and it
included every type of person
00:17:50.90\00:17:54.27
so as to leave no one out,
making sure that everyone knows
00:17:54.27\00:17:57.57
that no matter who you are, or
what your status is, all of us
00:17:57.57\00:18:02.44
are going to have to
serve either God or the devil,
00:18:02.44\00:18:06.58
period.
00:18:06.85\00:18:07.32
And of course,
00:18:08.62\00:18:09.68
this message from Bob Dylan
is really a biblical truth.
00:18:13.12\00:18:17.83
Romans chapter 6, 16 and 17
says, Do you not know that to
00:18:19.03\00:18:22.70
whom you present yourselves
slaves to obey, you are those,
00:18:22.70\00:18:25.93
the one slaves whom you
obey, whether sin leading you to
00:18:26.03\00:18:28.24
death or obedience
leading to righteousness?
00:18:28.24\00:18:29.74
And then he goes on to say, But
God be thanked, that though you
00:18:30.87\00:18:35.01
were the slaves of sin, yet you
obeyed from the heart that form
00:18:35.01\00:18:39.41
of doctrine which you were
delivered, which was delivered
00:18:39.41\00:18:43.59
to you, or to
which you were delivered.
00:18:43.59\00:18:46.15
Now, we may not like hearing
the message from Bob Dylan.
00:18:46.72\00:18:49.89
But we might ask, Well,
why would God speak through an
00:18:49.89\00:18:54.96
unbeliever, someone like that?
00:18:54.96\00:18:57.30
I think he became actually
a born-again Christian at some
00:18:57.97\00:19:00.24
point.
00:19:00.24\00:19:04.37
to face in the garden.
00:19:04.37\00:19:05.44
And after the fall, God
kept talking, but only to a few
00:19:05.87\00:19:08.74
people.
00:19:08.74\00:19:12.31
He talked to Moses, He
talked to Isaiah, He talked to
00:19:12.91\00:19:15.35
Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and
Daniel, who was greatly beloved.
00:19:15.35\00:19:18.99
And then a day came when
God in Jesus Christ came to this
00:19:20.46\00:19:24.96
earth.
00:19:24.96\00:19:25.49
And once again, He
talked to us face to face.
00:19:26.80\00:19:29.50
He talked with, according
to John chapter 4, an idol
00:19:30.30\00:19:36.44
-worshipping, multiple
-divorcee, fornicating woman.
00:19:36.44\00:19:40.51
True or false?
00:19:42.71\00:19:43.41
True.
00:19:43.81\00:19:44.21
Why?
00:19:45.41\00:19:45.91
Why didn't He
talk to the Adventists?
00:19:47.68\00:19:50.12
Why is He talking to a Catholic
lady who's worshipping idols
00:19:52.02\00:19:54.99
and just going to church
and Christmas and Easter?
00:19:54.99\00:19:57.03
Right?
00:19:59.29\00:19:59.79
Why?
00:20:00.96\00:20:01.40
Because this woman, who was not
in the truth, who didn't live
00:20:03.26\00:20:08.10
the truth, who didn't love
the truth, yet the truth was
00:20:08.10\00:20:12.14
talking to her, this woman
00:20:12.14\00:20:13.84
had a humble, needy,
receptive, sharing spirit.
00:20:17.61\00:20:24.95
And Jesus saw that.
00:20:25.95\00:20:27.16
He saw the spirit.
00:20:27.92\00:20:29.42
He saw beyond the outward.
00:20:30.59\00:20:32.49
He saw beyond the failures.
00:20:33.23\00:20:34.73
Jesus exercised
faith in this woman.
00:20:36.50\00:20:39.90
He believed in her.
00:20:40.80\00:20:42.34
He believed that if He told
her what He could never tell the
00:20:42.64\00:20:47.08
Adventists, that
He was the Messiah.
00:20:47.08\00:20:50.35
He couldn't tell
that to the Adventists.
00:20:51.18\00:20:52.75
He believed it would
set her heart on fire.
00:20:54.82\00:20:59.85
And she would go back to
her town, her village, her city,
00:21:01.19\00:21:04.59
her place of abode, and
she would witness to everyone.
00:21:05.69\00:21:09.80
He believed that.
00:21:10.40\00:21:11.00
He saw that.
00:21:11.00\00:21:11.03
He had faith, had
belief in that woman.
00:21:12.37\00:21:15.07
Some of us are going to go back
to our abodes, to our place of
00:21:16.77\00:21:21.04
living.
00:21:21.04\00:21:21.54
Are we going to set our towns
and cities and villages on fire
00:21:22.28\00:21:24.48
like this woman did, this
fornicator, this divorcee, this
00:21:24.48\00:21:28.28
woman who came to the well
when no one else was there?
00:21:28.28\00:21:30.99
Because there
are people who will.
00:21:33.86\00:21:35.29
They come into our churches.
00:21:35.66\00:21:36.79
They're baptized.
00:21:37.69\00:21:38.39
And they want to
go out door to door.
00:21:39.43\00:21:40.86
They want to have
an out great converse.
00:21:40.96\00:21:42.33
They want to
light a fire under us.
00:21:42.33\00:21:44.20
And we tell them, you know, we
try to throw a bucket of water
00:21:44.43\00:21:46.74
on them and tell them, you
know, cool down after a while.
00:21:46.74\00:21:48.80
What in the world?
00:21:49.50\00:21:50.87
So Christ, the way, the truth,
and the life, poured truth into
00:21:54.74\00:21:57.68
her receptive,
humble, needy, giving spirit.
00:21:57.68\00:22:01.25
The truth.
00:22:01.35\00:22:08.02
And then He told us, the day
is coming when true worshipers
00:22:09.29\00:22:13.63
will worship Me in
spirit and in truth.
00:22:13.63\00:22:15.66
And it seems to me that Seventh
-day Adventists have the truth
00:22:15.66\00:22:19.60
part down really good.
00:22:19.60\00:22:20.60
We've got that.
00:22:21.40\00:22:22.40
Like we can give
you all the answers.
00:22:23.17\00:22:25.21
But it seems to me like
God's people in Babylon have the
00:22:27.91\00:22:32.81
spirit part down pretty good.
00:22:32.81\00:22:33.88
I know people who have
left this church and have found
00:22:37.52\00:22:41.36
Christ in
Sunday-keeping churches.
00:22:41.36\00:22:44.33
They found genuine experience.
00:22:46.43\00:22:47.96
I remember one young man.
00:22:47.96\00:22:49.16
He came into the church, you
know, and he was surrounded by
00:22:49.16\00:22:52.20
legalism.
00:22:52.20\00:22:52.70
That happens.
00:22:52.70\00:22:53.44
And he went out.
00:22:54.20\00:22:55.07
And he wrote to me and he said,
I know you probably think that,
00:22:55.70\00:22:58.34
you know, I'm an apostasy
because I've left the Adventist
00:22:58.34\00:23:00.44
church, but I just want you
to know that I am a Christian.
00:23:00.44\00:23:04.21
I'm a believer.
00:23:04.31\00:23:05.18
I've accepted Christ as
my Savior, and I'm no longer
00:23:05.45\00:23:07.68
addicted to pornography.
00:23:07.68\00:23:09.18
I said, praise God.
00:23:10.35\00:23:11.99
I'm so thankful to hear that.
00:23:12.12\00:23:13.99
I believe that you are having
a genuine experience, and I do
00:23:13.99\00:23:19.13
not believe that that
experience can only happen in
00:23:19.13\00:23:21.10
this church, because I
know, because I was a converted
00:23:21.10\00:23:24.57
Christian before I
became a Seventh-day Adventist.
00:23:24.57\00:23:26.53
And I said to him, just don't
forget about Revelation 13.
00:23:29.80\00:23:34.08
What if we could just get all
the in-truth worshipers and all
00:23:40.72\00:23:43.82
the in-spirit
worshipers on the same page?
00:23:43.82\00:23:46.89
Wouldn't that be grand?
00:23:47.06\00:23:47.72
Like we're all just together.
00:23:47.72\00:23:49.99
Enter Revelation chapter 18.
00:23:52.56\00:23:54.83
Let's look there in verse 1.
00:23:57.40\00:23:58.83
Revelation chapter 18.
00:23:59.30\00:24:00.60
Beginning with verse 1.
00:24:02.10\00:24:03.44
We'll read through verse 4.
00:24:04.27\00:24:05.54
All the spirit believers and
all the truth believers all in
00:24:06.84\00:24:11.11
one place.
00:24:11.11\00:24:11.81
How's it going to happen?
00:24:11.98\00:24:12.98
Revelation 18 verse 1.
00:24:13.31\00:24:14.88
And after these things, I
saw another angel come down from
00:24:14.88\00:24:20.82
heaven.
00:24:20.82\00:24:21.92
Having what?
00:24:23.06\00:24:23.76
Great power.
00:24:24.79\00:24:26.06
And the earth was
lightened with his glory.
00:24:27.03\00:24:30.53
And whose glory is that?
00:24:30.80\00:24:31.70
Is it our glory?
00:24:31.83\00:24:32.47
No, it's the glory of the truth.
00:24:32.83\00:24:35.34
It's the glory of
the truth and the spirit.
00:24:35.94\00:24:39.31
We're actually
told that, you know.
00:24:41.61\00:24:43.85
In the last days, when the
crisis hits, we are told that
00:24:43.85\00:24:50.42
the work we've done in
missionary efforts, getting the
00:24:50.42\00:24:53.15
truth out, the seed sown,
will spring up and bear fruit.
00:24:53.15\00:24:56.86
Those seeds of truth that
we've been sowing all this time.
00:24:57.46\00:25:00.83
They will be watered, they'll
spring up and bear fruit.
00:25:01.23\00:25:02.96
And we're told our message will
not go so much by theological
00:25:03.26\00:25:08.67
argument, but by
the spirit of the truth.
00:25:08.67\00:25:14.71
That's what it's going to be.
00:25:16.81\00:25:18.25
And that's why so many people
are going to come into this
00:25:18.95\00:25:21.75
church in the last days.
00:25:21.75\00:25:23.85
Because the real test that
we're going to face is a test
00:25:24.42\00:25:28.76
of character.
00:25:28.76\00:25:29.62
It's not a test of
what day we go to church.
00:25:29.96\00:25:32.23
You follow me?
00:25:33.03\00:25:33.76
It's a test of character.
00:25:33.96\00:25:35.23
And God has been growing
the character of His people all
00:25:36.77\00:25:41.24
over the world in every
denomination, every phase of
00:25:41.24\00:25:43.54
life.
00:25:43.54\00:25:45.31
There are people who want
nothing to do with God, a God
00:25:47.08\00:25:51.71
who's going to burn
people in hell forever.
00:25:51.71\00:25:54.08
We were doing an evangelistic
series in Maine, and my wife
00:25:57.99\00:26:01.46
would always do a health talk
before the Maine meeting, and
00:26:01.46\00:26:04.93
that would of course attract
people, and there was this one
00:26:04.93\00:26:07.03
lady that came just
to hear the health talk.
00:26:07.03\00:26:08.56
She didn't stay for my meeting.
00:26:08.56\00:26:09.83
She just health
talk, and she was gone.
00:26:10.00\00:26:11.73
But after a while, she started
staying for the meetings, and
00:26:12.27\00:26:15.10
she was loving it, loving it,
until we got to the meeting on
00:26:15.10\00:26:22.31
hell.
00:26:22.31\00:26:22.61
And you've got to understand
when I present the meeting on
00:26:24.95\00:26:28.02
hell as an evangelist, I would
do a 10-minute Southern Baptist
00:26:28.02\00:26:32.75
sermon on hell fire.
00:26:32.75\00:26:35.36
You understand?
00:26:36.26\00:26:36.86
And so I got up to do my
10 -minute Southern Baptist.
00:26:37.79\00:26:40.30
You know, we've been going
through these truths night by
00:26:40.53\00:26:42.33
night, and you know,
you know, you're convicted.
00:26:42.33\00:26:45.57
This is truth.
00:26:45.57\00:26:48.60
you know what's coming.
00:26:48.64\00:26:49.27
And I would quote the verses,
you know, burn forever and
00:26:50.01\00:26:53.04
ever, et cetera, et cetera.
00:26:53.04\00:26:54.14
And she just cringed up in her
seat, and I was looking at her,
00:26:55.01\00:26:58.95
and she told me later,
she said, when you started
00:27:00.52\00:27:02.85
preaching, I was ready to leave.
00:27:02.85\00:27:04.82
She said, I was so thankful
for all I'd been learning.
00:27:05.29\00:27:08.39
I was thinking to myself,
finally I found the church,
00:27:08.59\00:27:10.99
God's church.
00:27:10.99\00:27:11.03
And then you started preaching
that, and she said, oh no, not
00:27:12.63\00:27:15.60
another church
that teaches this.
00:27:15.60\00:27:17.43
And she was ready to leave.
00:27:17.77\00:27:18.90
But then she said, you brought
that around, and you preached
00:27:20.04\00:27:26.07
the truth about hell.
00:27:26.98\00:27:29.08
And she said, I want to be
baptized and join this church.
00:27:29.71\00:27:33.31
As Danny said earlier,
you're baptized into Christ, and
00:27:34.68\00:27:37.45
becoming a member of the church.
00:27:37.45\00:27:38.75
It does bother me too when I
hear people say, I was baptized
00:27:41.72\00:27:44.29
into the church.
00:27:44.29\00:27:44.99
Oh no, no, you weren't
baptized, you joined the
00:27:45.26\00:27:47.36
church.
00:27:47.36\00:27:47.86
Right?
00:27:49.03\00:27:52.47
from being baptized.
00:27:52.47\00:27:53.64
That's the way it is now.
00:27:54.97\00:27:55.97
You're baptized into Jesus, and
then we have this little thing
00:27:56.20\00:27:58.67
where you join the church.
00:27:58.67\00:28:00.11
They're separate.
00:28:01.14\00:28:04.18
They're not the same.
00:28:05.31\00:28:06.82
And he cried mightily with a
strong voice, saying, Babylon,
00:28:08.62\00:28:11.85
the great, is fallen,
is fallen, and become the
00:28:11.95\00:28:14.22
habitation of devils and the
hold of every foul spirit and
00:28:14.22\00:28:17.56
the cage of every
unclean and hateful bird.
00:28:17.56\00:28:19.83
For all nations have drunk,
verse 3, of the wine of the
00:28:20.20\00:28:22.73
wrath of her fornication,
and the kings of the earth have
00:28:22.73\00:28:25.10
committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth
00:28:25.10\00:28:27.87
have waxed rich through the
abundance of her delicacies.
00:28:27.87\00:28:30.97
And I heard, verse 4, another
voice from heaven saying, come
00:28:31.07\00:28:35.34
out of her, my people, that
ye be not partakers of her sins,
00:28:35.34\00:28:41.35
and that ye
receive not of her plagues.
00:28:41.68\00:28:43.49
I think there's about 25
million Adventists worldwide,
00:28:44.39\00:28:47.46
and there are 1.4
billion Catholics.
00:28:49.09\00:28:52.93
That's not
including Protestants.
00:28:53.96\00:28:55.50
Probably 2 billion
at least, Christians.
00:28:55.80\00:28:58.27
So how, what's the equation
25, is it like 400 times?
00:28:58.73\00:29:03.34
Is that, am I right there?
00:29:03.67\00:29:04.57
400 times 25 million would be
1 .4 billion or somewhere up in
00:29:04.91\00:29:09.64
there.
00:29:09.64\00:29:09.91
Any mathematicians here?
00:29:10.38\00:29:11.61
400 times!
00:29:12.41\00:29:13.98
God has His people in Babylon.
00:29:16.28\00:29:19.45
And I believe quite possibly
that there's more of His people
00:29:21.42\00:29:26.09
in Babylon than there
is in the Adventist church.
00:29:26.09\00:29:28.46
We should be
humble, shouldn't we?
00:29:29.26\00:29:31.33
Because we're going to go
through this great exchange
00:29:32.20\00:29:33.77
where company after company
is going to go out, and tribe
00:29:33.77\00:29:36.60
after tribe is going to come in.
00:29:36.60\00:29:37.74
All the places made vacant
by apostasy will be filled up by
00:29:38.31\00:29:41.11
those coming into the church.
00:29:41.11\00:29:42.34
And God has been developing
their characters so that they
00:29:43.04\00:29:48.35
will learn in weeks and
months what it's taken others a
00:29:48.35\00:29:51.45
lifetime to learn.
00:29:51.45\00:29:52.22
I mean, how long does it take
to learn the 28 fundamentals?
00:29:53.32\00:29:55.39
But how are they going to
be able to stand in the time of
00:29:56.79\00:30:00.90
test without character, without
the oil, without the spirit to
00:30:00.90\00:30:08.37
combine with the truth?
00:30:08.37\00:30:09.40
And of course, we seven day
Adventists, we've been in the
00:30:10.24\00:30:14.24
truth for a long time.
00:30:14.24\00:30:15.34
And we think, because we've
been in the truth for a long
00:30:15.44\00:30:17.78
time, you know, we've been
in the truth for a long time.
00:30:17.78\00:30:20.35
But man, are we mean,
00:30:20.82\00:30:24.79
arrogant, proud?
00:30:28.09\00:30:28.89
I know that.
00:30:29.89\00:30:30.43
I had a guy tell me that.
00:30:30.66\00:30:31.89
You are so arrogant.
00:30:31.93\00:30:32.93
When you were, I was pretty,
you know, wrote this little
00:30:33.13\00:30:35.36
something or other, and
he just, a list of about ten
00:30:35.36\00:30:37.63
things, you know, and I was so
like, oh, I'm going to just, I
00:30:37.63\00:30:42.40
prayed about, I thought
about, I thought, you know what?
00:30:42.40\00:30:44.17
He's right.
00:30:44.31\00:30:45.01
I'm sure I come across that way.
00:30:45.11\00:30:46.41
I'm sure I do because I'm human
and I'm me and I'm just like,
00:30:46.91\00:30:50.25
who knows what
people, people don't know me.
00:30:50.68\00:30:52.65
My wife will tell
you, no, he's a humble guy.
00:30:52.65\00:30:54.82
And so I just said
to him, you're right.
00:30:58.59\00:31:00.56
I'm sure I come across that way.
00:31:00.99\00:31:02.49
We need to humble ourselves.
00:31:04.09\00:31:05.46
We have no idea
sometimes how we come across.
00:31:05.56\00:31:08.00
We have no idea the people
that were hurting and offending.
00:31:08.10\00:31:11.17
James and John didn't know.
00:31:11.90\00:31:13.07
The Samaritans refused.
00:31:13.97\00:31:15.04
The Catholics refused to
give them a night's lodging.
00:31:15.14\00:31:17.17
Remember when Jesus
was going to Jerusalem?
00:31:17.21\00:31:18.37
The idol worshipers said no.
00:31:19.01\00:31:20.28
And James and John,
they were quoting the Bible.
00:31:21.31\00:31:23.41
Remember?
00:31:24.18\00:31:24.68
Elisha.
00:31:25.08\00:31:25.71
He called fire down from heaven.
00:31:25.81\00:31:26.65
Right?
00:31:27.02\00:31:27.22
Elijah.
00:31:27.32\00:31:27.75
Hey, should we call
fire down from heaven?
00:31:28.28\00:31:29.68
And what did Jesus say to them?
00:31:30.45\00:31:31.65
You don't know what
manner of spirit you are of.
00:31:33.25\00:31:36.56
They had the truth.
00:31:37.03\00:31:40.10
But the spirit wasn't right.
00:31:40.40\00:31:41.93
The spirit wasn't right.
00:31:43.00\00:31:44.40
I think that's one of the
greatest dangers of knowing so
00:31:45.87\00:31:48.17
much.
00:31:48.17\00:31:48.60
Me personally,
just knowing so much.
00:31:49.44\00:31:51.11
We just naturally tend to get
a little bit egotistical, self
00:31:51.41\00:31:57.48
-righteous.
00:31:57.48\00:31:58.15
That's what we
need to guard against.
00:31:58.68\00:32:00.28
Seriously.
00:32:01.38\00:32:01.78
I know I do.
00:32:02.35\00:32:03.08
And when people point
out things or correct us or
00:32:03.99\00:32:06.29
whatever, we
just need to say yes.
00:32:06.29\00:32:07.72
Now, I can't tell you that I
actually dye my hair because I
00:32:07.79\00:32:11.16
don't dye my hair.
00:32:11.16\00:32:15.40
hair too dark.
00:32:15.40\00:32:16.13
But if it's a reality, if
it's true, let's just humble
00:32:17.40\00:32:21.84
ourselves and say,
yeah, I'll own that.
00:32:21.84\00:32:25.04
How can we own that?
00:32:25.51\00:32:26.71
Because we have a Savior who's
interceding for us and he just
00:32:27.08\00:32:31.75
embraces us and he's growing us.
00:32:31.75\00:32:34.52
I mean, when we see Jesus,
we're like Daniel, we're like
00:32:35.02\00:32:38.65
John, we're like Isaiah.
00:32:38.65\00:32:39.79
There's nothing good in us.
00:32:39.95\00:32:41.36
We're undone.
00:32:41.62\00:32:42.22
What?
00:32:42.36\00:32:42.86
It's my mouth, Isaiah said.
00:32:43.02\00:32:44.39
There's been things I've
been saying that aren't right.
00:32:44.49\00:32:46.13
And of course, the mouth
is just a manifestation of the
00:32:46.29\00:32:49.03
thoughts and thoughts
and feelings that make up the
00:32:49.03\00:32:51.07
character.
00:32:51.07\00:32:53.80
Let them have it.
00:32:54.04\00:32:55.04
Don't defend yourself.
00:32:55.30\00:32:56.20
Don't justify yourself.
00:32:56.24\00:32:57.24
Don't point to other people
who are worse than you and say,
00:32:57.44\00:32:59.07
well, you know, the reason why
I got upset is because look at
00:32:59.27\00:33:02.71
the way she, look at the
way he, look at what they did.
00:33:02.71\00:33:05.25
So how do those stay in
the church, that remnant from
00:33:07.05\00:33:14.09
Babylon that comes into the
fold, how do they stay in the
00:33:14.09\00:33:17.29
church?
00:33:17.29\00:33:17.99
Well, one of the main ways they
stay in the church is by seeing
00:33:19.36\00:33:24.07
our spirit, the
spirit of the truth.
00:33:24.07\00:33:26.94
Daniel had this spirit.
00:33:27.90\00:33:29.07
Let's look at a couple of
verses in the book of Daniel.
00:33:29.10\00:33:31.04
They're so powerful.
00:33:31.37\00:33:32.54
We'll look at Daniel, chapter
4, verses 8 and 9, and then
00:33:32.61\00:33:35.61
verse 15, 18, and then chapter
5, verses 11 and 12 and 14, and
00:33:35.61\00:33:40.22
then chapter 6.
00:33:40.22\00:33:40.92
Daniel 4, 8 and 9.
00:33:40.95\00:33:42.32
Daniel is talking
to Nebuchadnezzar.
00:33:42.62\00:33:44.95
Nebuchadnezzar was probably
the most arrogant that you could
00:33:44.95\00:33:53.50
find.
00:33:53.50\00:33:54.20
And you know what's really
interesting is that Daniel
00:33:55.76\00:34:00.44
loved Nebuchadnezzar.
00:34:00.44\00:34:02.77
But you know who
else loved Nebuchadnezzar?
00:34:05.11\00:34:06.71
God loved Nebuchadnezzar.
00:34:07.44\00:34:08.44
God sent Daniel as
an evangelist to win
00:34:08.94\00:34:12.71
Nebuchadnezzar.
00:34:12.71\00:34:13.68
Can you imagine?
00:34:13.68\00:34:15.25
Like, got an assignment for you.
00:34:16.58\00:34:19.62
Going to go to China.
00:34:20.09\00:34:21.06
There's a guy over there.
00:34:22.59\00:34:23.93
He's kind of important and big.
00:34:24.73\00:34:26.96
I might even
say he's the leader.
00:34:28.20\00:34:29.60
And I want you to, you
know, win him the Adventism.
00:34:30.07\00:34:33.17
That was basically
what Daniel was doing.
00:34:33.87\00:34:35.84
I mean, seriously, right?
00:34:36.00\00:34:37.34
But it was God.
00:34:37.67\00:34:38.91
It was God that sent him.
00:34:39.41\00:34:41.31
And what was
Daniel supposed to do?
00:34:43.01\00:34:44.51
I mean, was he supposed to come
up with some kind of plan or
00:34:44.61\00:34:47.25
plant tracks under
Nebuchadnezzar's pillow?
00:34:47.25\00:34:49.25
No.
00:34:49.42\00:34:49.92
God says, I'll
give him a vision.
00:34:50.25\00:34:50.95
I'll give him a dream.
00:34:51.02\00:34:51.82
And he'll forget it.
00:34:52.15\00:34:53.49
And then I'll bring you in.
00:34:53.79\00:34:54.86
You pray now.
00:34:54.86\00:34:55.46
Pray, Daniel, pray.
00:34:55.49\00:34:56.46
And follow the
health message real close.
00:34:56.69\00:34:58.69
I want you to have a clear mind.
00:34:59.09\00:35:00.60
I want you to be praying.
00:35:01.16\00:35:02.23
And I want you
to be abiding in me.
00:35:03.20\00:35:05.13
I want you to be in the Spirit.
00:35:05.13\00:35:06.17
And
Nebuchadnezzar recognized this.
00:35:06.23\00:35:07.40
When you look here at Daniel
chapter 4, Nebuchadnezzar says,
00:35:07.44\00:35:10.97
but at the last,
Daniel came in before me.
00:35:14.74\00:35:16.61
This is Nebuchadnezzar's
testimony, by the way.
00:35:16.61\00:35:18.21
He's saved.
00:35:18.41\00:35:19.01
But at the last, Daniel came
in before me, whose name was
00:35:19.58\00:35:22.38
Belteshazzar, according to the
name of my God, and in whom is
00:35:22.38\00:35:28.22
the Spirit of the Holy Gods.
00:35:28.22\00:35:30.46
Isn't that amazing?
00:35:31.59\00:35:32.29
He's got the Spirit of God.
00:35:33.19\00:35:34.76
Did Daniel have
the truth, by the way?
00:35:34.86\00:35:36.30
Ha!
00:35:36.90\00:35:37.43
Daniel 2, Daniel 7,
Daniel 8, Daniel 11, Daniel 9.
00:35:38.00\00:35:42.04
He had the truth.
00:35:42.20\00:35:43.10
2300 days of prophecy, 70
weeks, he had all the truth.
00:35:43.37\00:35:45.51
But what was he noted for?
00:35:46.11\00:35:47.41
What did Nebuchadnezzar
say he was noted for?
00:35:47.58\00:35:49.98
Spirit.
00:35:50.71\00:35:51.18
Verse 9.
00:35:51.45\00:35:52.35
O Belteshazzar, master of the
musicians, because I know that
00:35:52.71\00:35:58.42
the Spirit of the Holy Gods is
in thee, and no secret trouble
00:35:58.42\00:36:02.12
with thee.
00:36:02.12\00:36:02.46
Tell me.
00:36:02.62\00:36:03.32
Tell me the vision.
00:36:03.46\00:36:04.23
Right?
00:36:04.49\00:36:09.66
11, 12, and 14, chapter 5.
00:36:10.97\00:36:14.20
This is the Queen Mother
going to Belteshazzar, who's had
00:36:14.80\00:36:17.84
this, you know,
judgment vision, minimini tikul
00:36:17.84\00:36:20.71
yifarsin.
00:36:20.71\00:36:21.71
There is a man living in thy
kingdom, in whom is the Spirit
00:36:22.14\00:36:25.21
of the Holy Gods.
00:36:25.21\00:36:26.58
See what Daniel was known for?
00:36:27.35\00:36:28.85
Verse 12.
00:36:29.72\00:36:33.79
understanding, and
interpreting of dreams.
00:36:33.79\00:36:35.16
Oh, he's, this
guy knows prophecy.
00:36:35.52\00:36:38.26
This guy can
understand hard things.
00:36:39.03\00:36:41.26
But what's his
number one characteristic?
00:36:41.50\00:36:43.47
Excellent spirit.
00:36:44.20\00:36:45.20
Whereas Adventists know
prophecy and understand end
00:36:48.24\00:36:51.84
time events.
00:36:51.84\00:36:52.47
But the spirit part, hmm.
00:36:54.11\00:36:56.41
I'm speaking to
you as an evangelist.
00:36:59.35\00:37:01.02
I've done meeting
after meeting after meeting.
00:37:01.28\00:37:02.85
People have been convicted.
00:37:02.98\00:37:04.02
Convicted, convicted.
00:37:04.49\00:37:05.39
Two weeks goes by.
00:37:05.62\00:37:06.59
We make an invitation
after sharing the Sabbath.
00:37:06.69\00:37:08.56
They come to our church.
00:37:08.66\00:37:09.46
They come to our church.
00:37:09.49\00:37:10.26
They're saying,
I'm really sorry.
00:37:10.29\00:37:11.39
I love what you're preaching.
00:37:11.63\00:37:12.86
But your church?
00:37:13.36\00:37:14.36
Uh-uh.
00:37:14.63\00:37:15.16
Can't do it.
00:37:15.53\00:37:16.46
It's dead.
00:37:16.77\00:37:17.13
No spirit in there.
00:37:17.63\00:37:18.53
We come out with our truth box.
00:37:21.70\00:37:23.27
But we leave our
spirit box behind.
00:37:23.67\00:37:25.87
And then the
spirit box comes out.
00:37:27.91\00:37:29.18
We don't know
what to do with it.
00:37:29.18\00:37:30.31
The only way we can think about
utilizing the spirit box is to
00:37:31.95\00:37:37.65
take off the truth box.
00:37:37.65\00:37:38.65
That's what we're doing.
00:37:39.19\00:37:41.99
whole spirit.
00:37:41.99\00:37:42.69
But God has the answer for us.
00:37:44.26\00:37:46.53
Daniel has the answer for us.
00:37:46.96\00:37:48.46
We're told when we better
understand the books of Daniel
00:37:48.83\00:37:51.27
and Revelation, there'll be
seen among us a great revival.
00:37:51.27\00:37:54.37
It'll start into action
forces that cannot be repressed.
00:37:56.20\00:37:59.47
We'll be impressed with
the character that all must
00:37:59.91\00:38:02.94
develop.
00:38:02.94\00:38:03.81
Testimonies to ministers,
1.14, 1.12, 1.14, 1.12 to 1.18.
00:38:05.55\00:38:09.75
Love those verses.
00:38:10.35\00:38:11.22
So in Daniel 5, 11, and 12,
and then in verse 14 of Daniel
00:38:11.92\00:38:15.42
chapter 5, it goes on to
say, I have even heard of thee.
00:38:15.42\00:38:20.56
This is Belshazzar
who's heard about Daniel.
00:38:20.60\00:38:22.80
I've heard of thee that the
spirit of the God is in thee.
00:38:23.00\00:38:25.60
And then light and
understanding and all these
00:38:26.00\00:38:27.84
other things are coming too.
00:38:27.84\00:38:28.97
Spirit and truth.
00:38:29.44\00:38:30.27
Spirit and truth.
00:38:30.27\00:38:31.47
And of course, Daniel 6,
3, that's where he got in real
00:38:32.64\00:38:35.11
trouble, right?
00:38:35.11\00:38:36.08
Then Daniel was preferred above
the presidents and the princes
00:38:36.34\00:38:39.38
because he was
really good in accounting.
00:38:39.38\00:38:42.08
He could make the king a lot
of money and he was trustworthy.
00:38:42.68\00:38:45.55
Why was he preferred above
all the presidents and princes?
00:38:45.79\00:38:50.19
An excellent spirit was in him.
00:38:50.79\00:38:53.13
Now have you noticed that
all of these verses are found in
00:38:58.33\00:39:03.51
the context of non-adventists
and even judgment and politics?
00:39:03.51\00:39:09.54
I mean talk about a place where
we fail to have the spirit of
00:39:10.98\00:39:15.38
God.
00:39:15.38\00:39:15.62
Have you noticed?
00:39:15.88\00:39:16.42
If you want to see how much
of God's Holy Spirit you have,
00:39:17.12\00:39:19.69
just bring up the subject
of politics in the church.
00:39:19.92\00:39:26.46
Don't ever, ever, ever
tell anyone who you voted for.
00:39:28.13\00:39:35.07
In fact, don't
tell anyone you voted.
00:39:37.84\00:39:39.34
I mean just, whoo!
00:39:39.67\00:39:42.04
Mom's the word.
00:39:42.34\00:39:43.41
But we believe in religious
liberty and freedom and choice
00:39:45.71\00:39:49.82
and we're not going to condemn
you because you voted for that
00:39:49.82\00:39:53.32
person.
00:39:53.32\00:39:53.96
Did you hear?
00:39:54.59\00:39:55.06
No, seriously.
00:39:57.43\00:39:58.63
Someone told me just a couple
days ago, they said there was a
00:39:58.63\00:40:01.23
pastor who was doing evangelism
and he made a call to the
00:40:01.23\00:40:06.50
church for everyone who voted
for Donald Trump to repent.
00:40:06.50\00:40:10.61
And I said, that has nothing,
that has no place in the
00:40:13.88\00:40:17.28
church.
00:40:17.28\00:40:17.71
That has no place in the church.
00:40:18.51\00:40:20.15
You know what we're told?
00:40:23.89\00:40:24.72
When a pastor gets in the
pulpit and starts talking about
00:40:26.86\00:40:30.33
politics, he should
be removed from office.
00:40:30.33\00:40:33.43
He's disqualified.
00:40:34.10\00:40:35.10
It's like the high
priest ripping his robe.
00:40:35.93\00:40:38.73
He's disqualified.
00:40:39.57\00:40:40.60
Because we are
not of this world.
00:40:42.40\00:40:46.64
We're not of this world.
00:40:47.98\00:40:48.98
Daniel was immersed in
politics, yet he's described as
00:40:52.01\00:40:55.28
having this excellent spirit.
00:40:55.28\00:40:56.85
And Daniel is bringing
this judgment to Nebuchadnezzar.
00:40:58.85\00:41:01.36
Nebuchadnezzar's like,
just tell me the truth, Daniel.
00:41:02.32\00:41:05.49
I know you've got the truth.
00:41:05.53\00:41:06.76
Can you imagine having
that kind of a relationship?
00:41:07.96\00:41:10.57
How can we have
that excellent spirit?
00:41:10.77\00:41:12.30
I believe one of the ways is
understanding the investigative
00:41:13.44\00:41:15.64
judgment.
00:41:15.64\00:41:15.94
Seriously.
00:41:16.20\00:41:16.60
The reason why we're so mean
-spirited is because we think
00:41:17.44\00:41:20.31
we have to judge people.
00:41:20.31\00:41:21.64
Right?
00:41:22.88\00:41:23.21
God says, no, no, no.
00:41:23.45\00:41:25.35
Well, yeah, but they're
hypocrites and they're getting
00:41:25.55\00:41:26.82
away with stuff.
00:41:26.82\00:41:27.18
No, no, no.
00:41:27.32\00:41:27.92
I've got that figured out.
00:41:27.92\00:41:28.75
Just read Romans chapter
14, verses 10 through 13, and
00:41:29.08\00:41:32.62
Matthew 7, 21 to 23.
00:41:32.62\00:41:34.66
Daniel
understood about judgment.
00:41:37.99\00:41:39.26
He left it in God's hands.
00:41:39.86\00:41:41.16
Daniel's name
means, anyone know?
00:41:42.13\00:41:44.17
God is judge.
00:41:45.17\00:41:45.93
Dan means to judge.
00:41:46.37\00:41:47.54
That's why the tribe of
Dan is not in Revelation 7.
00:41:47.77\00:41:50.27
Not there.
00:41:50.41\00:41:50.94
They're one of the originals.
00:41:51.24\00:41:52.07
They're not sealed.
00:41:52.07\00:41:52.67
Who replaces it?
00:41:53.41\00:41:54.21
Who replaces the tribe of Dan?
00:41:54.31\00:41:55.41
Anyone know?
00:41:55.51\00:41:56.04
Manasseh.
00:41:57.15\00:41:57.65
Joseph's first son.
00:41:57.65\00:41:59.08
Why?
00:41:59.41\00:42:04.52
Because Joseph, God had caused
Joseph to forget all the things
00:42:04.99\00:42:08.42
that his
brothers had done to him.
00:42:08.42\00:42:10.36
And so he named
his first son Manasseh.
00:42:11.09\00:42:12.69
Those of us who cannot forgive
and forget, who are judgmental
00:42:13.70\00:42:18.87
and critical and backbiting,
that's what Dan's described as
00:42:18.87\00:42:22.34
in Genesis 49, 16, and 17, will
not be sealed with the seal of
00:42:22.34\00:42:26.21
God.
00:42:26.21\00:42:28.68
And Joseph said, you know, it
doesn't matter what my brothers
00:42:29.34\00:42:31.25
did to me.
00:42:31.25\00:42:32.05
Doesn't matter what Potiphar's
wife did to me or what Potiphar
00:42:32.48\00:42:34.35
did to me.
00:42:34.35\00:42:34.85
Doesn't matter.
00:42:34.85\00:42:34.88
You know why?
00:42:35.58\00:42:36.22
Because God's in
control of my life.
00:42:36.79\00:42:38.82
God's in control of my life.
00:42:39.45\00:42:41.09
Say, I'm leaving the church.
00:42:41.72\00:42:43.02
Look what they're doing.
00:42:43.56\00:42:44.36
Look what
they're connected with.
00:42:44.39\00:42:45.29
Well, look what's going on.
00:42:45.36\00:42:46.56
So wait a minute, wait
a minute, wait a minute.
00:42:47.13\00:42:48.50
Whose church is this?
00:42:48.80\00:42:49.90
It's God's church.
00:42:51.37\00:42:52.60
This is God's church.
00:42:52.87\00:42:54.17
Israel was God's denomination.
00:42:54.94\00:42:57.37
Daniel didn't say he
was going to leave, did he?
00:42:57.91\00:43:00.64
But look at all the things
that happened to him because of
00:43:01.01\00:43:03.31
their apostasy.
00:43:03.31\00:43:04.15
He was made a eunuch.
00:43:04.38\00:43:05.31
Never going to have kids.
00:43:05.58\00:43:06.41
Never going to have a posterity.
00:43:06.51\00:43:07.55
Taken captive to Babylon.
00:43:07.88\00:43:08.88
Never seen his family again.
00:43:08.98\00:43:10.79
I mean, talk about a
reason to leave the church.
00:43:10.85\00:43:15.76
But God was looking at Daniel
and Daniel was looking at God.
00:43:17.16\00:43:20.10
And Daniel was like,
I'm sticking with you, God.
00:43:21.13\00:43:23.26
This is your denomination.
00:43:23.26\00:43:25.37
This is your denomination.
00:43:26.17\00:43:27.00
I'm sticking with you.
00:43:27.00\00:43:28.04
And you know, all the promises
that God made to Israel were
00:43:28.24\00:43:30.47
all fulfilled in Daniel.
00:43:30.47\00:43:31.74
You'll be the
head and not the tail.
00:43:32.71\00:43:34.28
You'll be ruling the world.
00:43:35.08\00:43:36.51
God's promises don't fail
just because of their apostasy.
00:43:38.15\00:43:41.68
Stay faithful to God.
00:43:43.35\00:43:44.92
Stay faithful to God.
00:43:46.49\00:43:47.69
I mean, this ministry is a
testimony of that, isn't it?
00:43:49.39\00:43:52.13
Some of you may have no idea of
the history of 3ABN and all of
00:43:53.46\00:43:57.53
the opposition that came
against this ministry from the
00:43:57.53\00:44:01.00
brethren.
00:44:01.00\00:44:01.40
And they just said, no, we're
going to be faithful to God.
00:44:02.40\00:44:04.27
So, the accuser, the 24-7-365
guy, is trying to fill us with
00:44:12.28\00:44:19.82
his spirit.
00:44:19.82\00:44:20.62
God wants to fill
us with his spirit.
00:44:21.26\00:44:23.19
The accuser, if you let him
fill you with his spirit, he
00:44:23.83\00:44:28.76
won't stop with the
church or with the world or with
00:44:28.76\00:44:31.77
everything else.
00:44:31.77\00:44:33.90
start accusing yourself.
00:44:33.90\00:44:34.90
You're going to be
overwhelmed with guilt.
00:44:35.27\00:44:37.24
It's one of his devices,
Seps to Christ 70-72, one of his
00:44:37.97\00:44:41.48
devices, to get you to look at
the pleasures of the world, the
00:44:41.48\00:44:44.28
life's cares and perplexities
and sorrows, or the faults of
00:44:44.28\00:44:47.05
others, or your own
faults and failures.
00:44:47.05\00:44:49.38
To any or all of these, he will
get you to look, to divert your
00:44:49.62\00:44:53.02
attention.
00:44:53.02\00:44:55.06
Keep your focus on.
00:44:55.06\00:44:57.26
That's the instruction
in Revelation 14, verse 4.
00:44:57.83\00:45:00.70
When the crisis hits, when the
mark of the beast comes down,
00:45:01.90\00:45:05.37
God's people are seen standing
on Mount Zion with the Lamb.
00:45:06.27\00:45:11.11
And they are following
the Lamb wherever he goes.
00:45:11.67\00:45:14.91
I think we follow the Lamb
most places he goes right now.
00:45:15.48\00:45:18.88
I mean, I can't speak for you.
00:45:20.88\00:45:22.22
I can only speak for myself.
00:45:22.22\00:45:23.45
Most places.
00:45:23.45\00:45:24.45
By the time it's coming, we're
going to get over that hump.
00:45:25.32\00:45:27.22
Right?
00:45:28.19\00:45:28.52
These things aren't
going to work anymore.
00:45:29.16\00:45:30.76
Can't buy or sell.
00:45:31.23\00:45:32.16
Can't go to work.
00:45:32.86\00:45:33.50
Can't get a paycheck.
00:45:33.56\00:45:34.20
Can't pay the mortgage.
00:45:34.36\00:45:35.26
No reason to mow the lawn.
00:45:35.63\00:45:36.83
Or even possibly pay the bills.
00:45:38.10\00:45:41.27
We're done.
00:45:41.94\00:45:42.47
Jesus is coming.
00:45:42.87\00:45:43.67
The Sunday Law is here.
00:45:43.74\00:45:44.84
The mark of the
beast is being enforced.
00:45:45.21\00:45:46.61
What's the one
thing we're going to do?
00:45:47.31\00:45:48.81
Share the truth with anyone
and everyone we can because our
00:45:50.98\00:45:55.65
message is going to have a
power that it could not have
00:45:55.65\00:45:57.69
had hitherto.
00:45:57.69\00:45:58.99
People are going to go,
wow, you guys were right.
00:45:59.92\00:46:02.02
You've been preaching this.
00:46:02.16\00:46:05.33
180 years.
00:46:05.33\00:46:06.29
I mean, you know.
00:46:06.39\00:46:07.93
Hasn't happened.
00:46:09.00\00:46:09.80
But someday...
00:46:12.23\00:46:13.03
Soon?
00:46:13.03\00:46:13.40
Wow, you guys have been
preaching this for 180 years
00:46:17.14\00:46:20.34
and it's happening.
00:46:20.34\00:46:21.54
Can you imagine,
see the difference?
00:46:22.31\00:46:23.78
The message itself is
going to carry itself.
00:46:24.75\00:46:27.28
All we have to do is be
willing to just kind of open our
00:46:28.05\00:46:30.52
mouths.
00:46:30.52\00:46:31.32
Pray with people and kind
of just kind of direct them.
00:46:31.69\00:46:34.49
They'll learn in
weeks and months.
00:46:34.52\00:46:35.82
What has taken
others a lifetime to learn?
00:46:36.02\00:46:37.46
And their characters
have already been preparing.
00:46:37.79\00:46:39.79
We know, we meet
them all over the place.
00:46:40.00\00:46:41.23
Kind, good people.
00:46:41.36\00:46:42.90
They're struggling with
different things, but if you
00:46:44.00\00:46:47.77
want to prepare...
00:46:47.77\00:46:50.11
Did I lose my mic?
00:46:50.11\00:46:51.24
Oh, I lost my mic.
00:46:51.51\00:46:52.31
Help!
00:46:54.64\00:46:54.98
Oh, there it goes.
00:46:55.44\00:46:56.18
Woo!
00:46:56.85\00:46:57.08
Praise God.
00:47:06.35\00:47:07.29
Praise God.
00:47:08.69\00:47:09.42
If you want to prepare to bring
people into the Remnant Church,
00:47:10.53\00:47:14.56
stop your mouths, turn off your
TVs, silence your smarter-than
00:47:15.26\00:47:21.14
-you phones that are
controlling your life, dump all
00:47:21.14\00:47:25.91
of your social media apps,
and stop spending hours watching
00:47:25.91\00:47:29.51
the news, because the
news is reprogramming you.
00:47:29.51\00:47:33.11
Philippians 4, verse 8,
whatsoever things are of good
00:47:36.55\00:47:39.22
report.
00:47:39.22\00:47:39.75
Think on these things.
00:47:40.12\00:47:41.19
2 Corinthians 3, 18, by
beholding we become change.
00:47:41.66\00:47:44.26
Great Controversy, 555.
00:47:44.36\00:47:45.79
It's a law of our
spiritual and physical nature.
00:47:45.89\00:47:47.96
How do those stay in the church
who come in from Babylon start
00:47:50.63\00:47:55.50
a prayer ministry in your
church, start praying for them,
00:47:55.50\00:47:57.44
start a literature
ministry in your church.
00:47:57.74\00:47:59.14
You've got free literature
coming right from this
00:47:59.21\00:48:01.08
ministry.
00:48:01.08\00:48:01.68
All of this literature that's
here is in the racks in our
00:48:02.31\00:48:04.61
church, in our foyer.
00:48:04.61\00:48:05.41
It's all there.
00:48:05.61\00:48:06.31
When I come out
here, I bring another box.
00:48:07.08\00:48:08.55
People take it,
they hand it out.
00:48:09.12\00:48:10.69
Evening, morning, and at noon
will I pray and cry aloud, and
00:48:13.72\00:48:16.22
he will hear my voice.
00:48:16.22\00:48:17.06
You know, Pastor Jim Simbala
shares how the Holy Spirit led
00:48:17.46\00:48:22.46
him to grow the
Brooklyn Tabernacle Church.
00:48:22.46\00:48:25.33
He talks about two principles.
00:48:25.63\00:48:27.17
One is they started a
24-7, 365 prayer ministry.
00:48:27.27\00:48:30.97
That is, seven days a week,
24 hours a day, 365 days a year,
00:48:31.04\00:48:35.21
they are praying
for their members.
00:48:35.34\00:48:36.64
If Satan's accusing us 24-7,
365, we need to counter that
00:48:37.71\00:48:41.08
because we're told when we
pray Satan's whole host trembles
00:48:41.08\00:48:44.45
because he knows
he's going to suffer loss.
00:48:44.45\00:48:45.95
He's been suffering too many
victories in our churches, in
00:48:46.52\00:48:49.69
our lives.
00:48:49.69\00:48:50.19
He needs to suffer loss.
00:48:50.26\00:48:51.46
Let's start praying.
00:48:52.63\00:48:53.36
He said, and he's talking to
new believers right now, and I
00:48:56.70\00:48:59.30
think we have the reference
up on the screen for you.
00:48:59.30\00:49:01.97
He said, I said something
impromptu while receiving new
00:49:02.00\00:49:04.64
members into the church that
has stuck with us ever since.
00:49:04.64\00:49:08.71
People who were standing in a
row across the front before me
00:49:09.28\00:49:12.31
as I spoke, people were
standing in a row across before
00:49:12.31\00:49:14.75
me, and as I spoke, the Holy
Spirit seemed to prompt me to
00:49:14.75\00:49:18.42
add.
00:49:18.42\00:49:24.56
hear another member speak
an unkind word of criticism or
00:49:24.56\00:49:29.13
slander against anyone, myself,
another pastor, the usher, a
00:49:29.13\00:49:34.20
choir member, anyone else, you
have the authority to stop that
00:49:34.20\00:49:38.61
person in mid-sentence and
say, excuse me, who hurt you?
00:49:38.61\00:49:43.45
Who ignored you?
00:49:44.81\00:49:46.01
Who slighted you?
00:49:46.65\00:49:47.88
Was it Pastor Simbala?
00:49:48.42\00:49:49.65
Let's go to his
office right now.
00:49:50.19\00:49:51.55
He'll get on his knees
and apologize to you, and then
00:49:51.55\00:49:51.59
we'll go to his office so that
God can restore peace to this
00:49:53.69\00:49:57.86
body.
00:49:57.86\00:50:02.46
people who are not
present to defend themselves.
00:50:02.46\00:50:04.83
New members, please understand
that I am entirely serious
00:50:05.57\00:50:08.94
about this.
00:50:08.94\00:50:09.77
I want to help resolve
this kind of thing immediately.
00:50:10.11\00:50:12.71
And meanwhile, know this, if
you are ever the one doing the
00:50:13.91\00:50:17.91
loose talking, we
will confront you.
00:50:17.91\00:50:20.15
He says to this very day, every
time you receive new members, I
00:50:21.05\00:50:24.52
say much the same thing.
00:50:24.52\00:50:25.75
It is always a solemn moment.
00:50:26.09\00:50:27.49
That is because I know what
most easily destroys churches.
00:50:28.06\00:50:31.49
It is not crack cocaine, it
is not government oppression, it
00:50:31.69\00:50:34.10
is not like a funds rather,
it is gossip and slander that
00:50:34.10\00:50:38.27
grieves the Holy Spirit.
00:50:38.27\00:50:39.57
And that church grew from 18
members to thousands of members
00:50:40.74\00:50:45.71
because people came there and
they knew they had a safe place
00:50:45.71\00:50:50.28
from the refuge, a
refuge from the accuser.
00:50:50.28\00:50:54.78
We need to get the
accuser out of our churches.
00:50:56.18\00:50:58.59
We need to be
praying, not condemning.
00:51:00.19\00:51:02.49
John chapter 8, verse 11.
00:51:02.82\00:51:04.23
We need to follow the
evangelism blueprint that is
00:51:04.76\00:51:07.30
given to us in the
book of Revelation.
00:51:07.30\00:51:09.23
Did you know that Revelation
has an evangelism blueprint?
00:51:11.90\00:51:14.04
See, when I was trained in
evangelism on the third night
00:51:15.10\00:51:17.97
in Maine, I preached
Revelation 13 and the Beast.
00:51:17.97\00:51:22.11
The church had been full the
first night because they had a
00:51:23.24\00:51:25.78
Daniel statue out front and
they were on a Maine highway
00:51:25.78\00:51:28.18
and people were
like, wow, what is that?
00:51:28.18\00:51:30.35
So they came and they loved it.
00:51:30.35\00:51:32.45
Second night, signs of times,
yes, that's all happening,
00:51:32.69\00:51:34.86
boom!
00:51:34.99\00:51:35.76
Third night, Catholic
community, the Beast power.
00:51:36.09\00:51:40.30
Third night, next
night, church was half empty.
00:51:40.76\00:51:44.40
It had been full,
it was half empty.
00:51:45.53\00:51:47.54
I didn't follow the blueprint.
00:51:49.24\00:51:50.71
What chapter is the Beast
identified in in the book of
00:51:52.41\00:51:55.08
Revelation?
00:51:55.08\00:51:55.48
Chapter what?
00:51:56.54\00:51:57.11
One?
00:51:57.55\00:51:57.88
Two?
00:51:58.21\00:51:58.65
What?
00:51:58.85\00:51:59.28
Chapter what?
00:51:59.95\00:52:00.52
Thirteen!
00:52:01.18\00:52:01.72
Chapter thirteen!
00:52:02.08\00:52:02.92
I did it on the third night!
00:52:03.08\00:52:04.49
But it's in Chapter thirteen!
00:52:05.25\00:52:06.89
What's in Chapter one?
00:52:07.29\00:52:08.22
Who's in Chapter one?
00:52:08.96\00:52:09.72
Who's introduced in Chapter one?
00:52:09.72\00:52:09.76
Jesus!
00:52:11.03\00:52:11.53
Jesus is
introduced in Chapter one.
00:52:12.26\00:52:14.20
The one who loved us and washed
us from our sins in his own
00:52:15.36\00:52:18.37
blood.
00:52:18.37\00:52:18.77
He's seen among
the candlesticks.
00:52:20.37\00:52:21.54
That's the first vision that
John sees, the vision of Jesus.
00:52:21.54\00:52:23.57
You know, when you introduce
people to Jesus, the words of
00:52:23.97\00:52:27.64
the hymn go like this, Anywhere
with Jesus, I can safely go.
00:52:27.64\00:52:32.65
Anywhere?
00:52:34.02\00:52:34.42
Anywhere.
00:52:35.35\00:52:35.68
Fear I cannot know.
00:52:35.88\00:52:36.82
People are scared.
00:52:36.85\00:52:37.65
Nebuchadnezzar was scared.
00:52:38.02\00:52:38.85
That's why he made
an image all of gold.
00:52:38.85\00:52:39.82
He was scared!
00:52:39.85\00:52:40.79
And when he saw those three
young men who didn't bow to
00:52:41.06\00:52:42.92
that image, he was
like, he was upset.
00:52:42.92\00:52:44.69
He's like, what do
they got that I don't have?
00:52:44.79\00:52:46.26
I'm the king, I
should have that.
00:52:46.29\00:52:47.50
I don't have that.
00:52:47.73\00:52:48.30
What do they got?
00:52:48.36\00:52:48.90
He tested them and they
were, man, it was bothering him.
00:52:49.56\00:52:54.60
He didn't have, he had this,
but he didn't have this yet.
00:52:55.34\00:52:58.01
Not until he
got to Chapter four.
00:52:58.31\00:52:59.81
And what led him to this
was the witness of those three
00:53:00.04\00:53:03.85
young men.
00:53:03.85\00:53:04.41
Our witness.
00:53:04.78\00:53:05.75
Right?
00:53:06.45\00:53:06.85
So I went back to Maine some
years later and I did a full
00:53:10.55\00:53:13.49
series and I started in
Revelation Chapter one and just
00:53:13.49\00:53:16.73
moved through the
Book of Revelation.
00:53:16.73\00:53:17.86
And we were 14 meetings in
before we got to the Beast and
00:53:18.23\00:53:21.20
the Mark of the Beast.
00:53:21.20\00:53:24.00
Because you know what we do.
00:53:24.13\00:53:24.90
We advertise Revelation
but we deliver our doctrines.
00:53:25.27\00:53:27.90
We circle the world to make one
proslet and we make him twice
00:53:31.04\00:53:34.38
the child of hell.
00:53:34.38\00:53:35.28
That's what the Bible says.
00:53:35.91\00:53:36.58
That's what Jesus said.
00:53:36.58\00:53:37.31
What is the child of hell?
00:53:37.78\00:53:38.65
The devils believe.
00:53:39.08\00:53:40.38
Don't they?
00:53:41.25\00:53:41.88
What do the devils believe?
00:53:41.88\00:53:42.78
Do they believe the
seventh day is the Sabbath?
00:53:43.18\00:53:44.22
Absolutely.
00:53:44.69\00:53:45.05
20, 20-day prophecy?
00:53:45.22\00:53:46.02
For sure.
00:53:46.12\00:53:46.76
State of the dead?
00:53:47.02\00:53:47.49
They believe it.
00:53:47.59\00:53:48.29
What do they do
with all that belief?
00:53:49.02\00:53:50.16
They tremble.
00:53:51.23\00:53:51.83
They tremble.
00:53:52.93\00:53:53.53
The devils believe and tremble.
00:53:53.63\00:53:57.37
Jesus.
00:53:57.37\00:53:57.97
They don't have
a personal savior.
00:53:58.37\00:54:00.10
And that's what we're doing.
00:54:00.74\00:54:01.80
Twofold more the child of hell.
00:54:02.90\00:54:04.07
We're telling people all
these truths but we're not
00:54:04.17\00:54:06.37
introducing them to Jesus.
00:54:06.37\00:54:07.38
Every single truth needs
to be saturated in Christ.
00:54:07.64\00:54:10.58
That's why I'm so excited about
this investigative judgment
00:54:10.58\00:54:13.28
book because it is the gospel.
00:54:13.28\00:54:15.32
It doesn't leave the gospel out.
00:54:16.28\00:54:17.55
It doesn't leave
the spirit backstage.
00:54:17.59\00:54:19.05
That's what we need.
00:54:20.26\00:54:21.26
A plumber and
his wife were coming.
00:54:22.86\00:54:24.19
His family were coming.
00:54:24.39\00:54:25.29
Night by night they were coming
to the second series we were
00:54:26.23\00:54:28.36
giving there and as they
were coming to the meetings they
00:54:28.36\00:54:31.23
wanted to share a story with
me and first of all they told me
00:54:31.23\00:54:33.20
they said, you know, we're
members so we were just going
00:54:33.20\00:54:36.94
to come the first couple
of nights because that's what
00:54:36.94\00:54:38.54
members do.
00:54:38.54\00:54:40.94
out.
00:54:40.94\00:54:43.65
this before.
00:54:43.65\00:54:45.31
I really feel like we need
to follow the blueprint, the
00:54:45.38\00:54:47.95
revelation blueprint.
00:54:47.95\00:54:48.75
And they said, well,
let me tell you a story.
00:54:49.32\00:54:50.52
They said, we have a
neighbor that we invited.
00:54:50.59\00:54:52.32
He's an atheist and we invited
him to come and he didn't come
00:54:52.39\00:54:55.39
but a few days into this maybe
even a week or so he called us
00:54:55.39\00:55:00.90
because he had a plumbing
issue so we went to his house.
00:55:00.90\00:55:02.80
I went to his house to help him
with this plumbing issue and I
00:55:03.40\00:55:06.23
invited him to
the meetings again.
00:55:06.23\00:55:07.24
He said, oh, what do you
Adventists believe that's so
00:55:07.37\00:55:10.31
different from what
everyone else believes?
00:55:10.31\00:55:12.44
Have you ever been
asked that question?
00:55:13.14\00:55:14.08
What's different
about you Adventists?
00:55:14.34\00:55:15.88
How do you answer it?
00:55:16.64\00:55:17.88
Well, we believe the seventh
day is the Sabbath, not Sunday.
00:55:18.38\00:55:20.88
We believe when you die
you don't go to hell or you go,
00:55:21.28\00:55:23.75
right?
00:55:24.15\00:55:25.75
That's what we do.
00:55:26.02\00:55:26.69
We tell them what's different.
00:55:26.72\00:55:27.46
You know we're
counseled not to do that, right?
00:55:28.26\00:55:29.76
Meet people on
points you have in common.
00:55:30.66\00:55:32.79
So this plumber said to
the guy, well, we believe that
00:55:33.46\00:55:39.67
Jesus died for everyone.
00:55:39.67\00:55:43.00
He's the Savior of all people.
00:55:44.07\00:55:46.31
1 Timothy chapter 2 verse 5.
00:55:48.08\00:55:50.15
1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 10.
00:55:50.48\00:55:52.15
So what did he say?
00:55:52.85\00:55:53.58
You're not my Savior.
00:55:54.05\00:55:54.85
I don't want
anything to do with Jesus.
00:55:56.72\00:55:58.12
What did you say then?
00:55:59.39\00:56:00.46
Well, he wants
everything to do with you.
00:56:00.89\00:56:03.06
He died for you on Calvary.
00:56:03.06\00:56:03.09
You said that to him?
00:56:06.03\00:56:06.80
Yeah, I said that to him.
00:56:06.83\00:56:08.30
He died for you on Calvary.
00:56:08.46\00:56:09.53
What did he say to that?
00:56:09.73\00:56:10.53
He said it was quiet.
00:56:10.93\00:56:11.93
He didn't say anything.
00:56:12.23\00:56:12.73
It was quiet.
00:56:12.80\00:56:13.54
And then a few minutes later he
said, so, he suffered a lot on
00:56:15.00\00:56:19.67
Calvary, huh?
00:56:19.67\00:56:20.48
And they started
talking about the cross.
00:56:20.78\00:56:22.38
You know Jesus says, if I
be lifted up will drop all men
00:56:22.51\00:56:26.48
unto me.
00:56:26.48\00:56:27.35
I remember going to a, I'm
going to try to tell the story
00:56:29.15\00:56:33.36
quickly as we close, going to
a Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:56:33.36\00:56:36.46
where I was
filling in for the pastor.
00:56:36.46\00:56:37.99
We didn't have a pastor.
00:56:38.03\00:56:38.96
And there were a group of
pastors there because we're
00:56:39.19\00:56:40.53
counseled to meet with our
local pastors, you know, and
00:56:40.53\00:56:42.26
just connect with them.
00:56:42.26\00:56:43.13
They were all there.
00:56:43.37\00:56:44.07
A book had been mailed out.
00:56:44.40\00:56:46.00
You know, that book that goes
out to all the communities that
00:56:46.47\00:56:49.37
tells about...
00:56:49.37\00:56:50.21
No, not that book.
00:56:51.61\00:56:52.84
The Sunday Law, right?
00:56:54.81\00:56:56.98
And the pastors were in there
before I got there and when I
00:56:57.55\00:56:59.58
got in there they were talking
about this book that had been
00:56:59.58\00:57:01.48
mailed out to them.
00:57:01.48\00:57:02.38
And I had to do
some damage control.
00:57:03.85\00:57:05.79
But one of the
pastors was really uppity.
00:57:06.39\00:57:08.36
You think we've got
the mark of the beast?
00:57:08.82\00:57:10.46
That's what you think.
00:57:10.63\00:57:11.53
Right?
00:57:12.06\00:57:12.39
You think we've all
got the mark of the beast?
00:57:13.70\00:57:15.16
You pastors, this is
what this church is teaching.
00:57:15.50\00:57:17.47
And he got up and he walked out.
00:57:18.03\00:57:20.10
And he expected...
00:57:21.04\00:57:21.94
