00:23 Hello, I'm Karen Pearson and I'm here today
00:26 with my co-host and friend Pierre Quinn. 00:28 Hi Pierre, how are you? Hey Karen. I'm good, thanks. 00:31 Good. 00:32 We are here to bring you another episode 00:34 of "Stones of Remembrance," 00:36 the program where we visit with one of your favorite authors 00:39 and look at some of their life experiences 00:42 that helped to shape them and a message 00:45 that we find in their books. 00:47 So often as we pass through life's deep waters, 00:50 just as Joshua did, 00:51 we can meet some interesting, unexpected trials 00:56 but also blessings, which can help determine 00:59 and change and shape 01:00 the whole direction of our lives. 01:03 Before I introduce you to today's guest, however, 01:06 I'd like to share something with you from the word. 01:09 We're reading from Psalm 42:7 and 8. 01:14 "Deep calls unto deep 01:16 at the noise of your waterfalls; 01:19 all your waves and billows have gone over me. 01:24 The Lord will command His loving kindness 01:26 in the day time and in the night, 01:29 His song shall be with me, 01:32 a prayer to the God of my life." 01:35 Amen. 01:36 One of my favorite passages and I know that our guest today 01:40 loves this passage as well 01:42 and knows a lot about, about it. 01:45 Welcome, Shelley, to Stones of Remembrance. 01:47 Oh, thank you so much Karen. 01:49 It's lovely to be here with you and Pierre 01:51 and with the audience. 01:52 It's an honor for us to have you on the program, Shelley. 01:55 And you need no introduction to the 3ABN family 02:00 around the world, everyone knows your face, 02:03 they've been blessed by your ministry. 02:05 Praise God. And they love you. 02:08 Praise the Lord. 02:10 That's a wonderful thing that one of the best things 02:12 about being an Adventist is that, no matter 02:14 where you go in the world, you've got family. 02:16 Isn't that true? It's exciting. 02:18 That is so true, you have family anywhere in the world. 02:23 Shelley, you are the director of production. 02:29 Actually programming I'm the-- Programming. 02:31 Yes, Program Development Manager for 3ABN. 02:34 What does that involve? 02:36 Just any new series 02:37 or new programs that we come up with, 02:39 I manage the art services department 02:41 and we do much like we did with you, 02:44 have an incubation meeting, we'll figure out, 02:48 what look we want the program to have, 02:51 the content, usually I'm selecting host, 02:54 of course, yours is a paid program. 02:56 But it's just we developed the look 03:00 and the feel of the network. 03:02 How wonderful. It is fun. 03:04 That is exciting. A chance to create something? 03:06 Yes. That is awesome. 03:10 Well, Shelley, we are going to look at-- 03:12 you've written several books. 03:14 How many? Six. 03:15 Six books, we got a ways to go, Pierre. 03:18 I'm still working on one. 03:21 We are going to look at 03:23 "Pressing in to His Presence" today. 03:26 That's the one we want to look at 03:29 and the subtitle of that 03:33 "Developing an intimate relationship 03:36 with God through prayer" really sums it up. 03:39 Yes. Doesn't it? 03:40 And my favorite story in the book is the one, 03:44 I think you almost open the book with it. 03:47 You're on your way, a trip by yourself 03:48 to go and visit you sister, 03:51 you're in the motor vehicle, it's dark outside, 03:55 it's quite, the moon is shining brightly, 03:58 something happened to you in that car. 04:02 Why don't you share that with us? 04:04 It's interesting that's your favorite. 04:05 I've had couple of people who thought 04:07 that was controversial and I'm thinking, 04:09 that's interesting because to me, 04:11 it's a beautiful story. 04:12 And essentially what happened, I'll never forget that night, 04:15 it was 1996, 04:17 a year earlier the Lord had miraculously healed me 04:21 after a year of suffering from vertigo 04:23 and He had taught me to claim His promises in a way 04:27 that I was affirming them and praying them back to Him. 04:30 And I had just had a wonderful year 04:33 of growing closer to the Lord through His word, 04:37 through praying His word 04:39 and the week before I went to see my sister, 04:41 it had been insane. 04:43 It was so hectic, that I hadn't taken time to really do that. 04:48 So I got into the car and it was a six hour drive. 04:52 And it was on just deserted state highways 04:57 from the middle central part of Texas 04:59 to the south eastern corner of New Mexico. 05:02 And so I didn't really, 05:04 it didn't require any concentration. 05:05 And as soon as I got in the car I was just... 05:08 my soul was thirsting for the Lord. 05:11 So I just began, telling the Lord 05:14 how sorry I was, that I had been too busy 05:16 to spend time with Him that week 05:18 and I was praying and praising and... 05:21 and just giving Him thanks and then I found that 05:26 it was really a worship experience 05:28 and somewhere along the line I began then, 05:32 really confessing sins and repenting 05:36 and then I began affirming His promises. 05:39 And this went on, 05:41 this type of prayer and communication 05:44 went on uninterrupted for six hours. 05:47 And it was so interesting because just as I was... 05:50 I was just drawing closer and closer to the Lord 05:53 and I can sense He was drawing closer to me, you know. 05:56 And because there was really no interruptions 06:00 and just as I recognized the land mark that let me know 06:03 that I was just outside of Roswell, New Mexico, 06:07 I thought, 06:08 oh Lord I don't want to quit worshipping you, 06:11 I've just, I haven't felt this close to You ever. 06:14 And I said, "Father, truly in Your presence, 06:17 there is joy forevermore." 06:20 And I'm praying and I said, 06:22 "Oh, Lord, I want to... I want to... 06:24 I love you but I want to love you 06:25 with all my heart, soul, mind and strength, 06:28 so that I can know Your joy 06:30 and as I spoke that in prayer 06:34 and it was just so intense, 06:37 suddenly it was just I felt, waves of joy, 06:42 just ecstatic joy just coming over me. 06:46 And I sensed that 06:49 God was right there with me 06:51 and I thought that's what's it gonna be like, 06:54 when we see Him face to face is... 06:57 and that's what I was doing that night. 06:59 I was really seeking His face. 07:00 Now I mentioned in the book 07:02 that I've never again prayed for six hours. 07:06 I've never had that... that was one time experience, 07:08 never again though. 07:10 I wanted to ask you, Shelley, did it feel like six hours? 07:13 Oh no, I mean that was the fasted trip 07:15 that I ever made, it was just... 07:17 I'd jokingly say that car was on autopilot, 07:20 I was definitely in control of the car, 07:22 but it was just such a joyful experience 07:25 and I've never had that experience again. 07:28 And you would think, 07:29 "Oh, maybe I should pray for six hours 07:31 and see if I could do that again." 07:32 But that would be the wrong thing, 07:34 if you are ever seeking God for an experience, 07:38 I think it's wrong. 07:40 I think that those kind of things happen 07:44 here and there in our lives 07:46 that they're very special gifts from God. 07:48 But I'm not an overly emotional person. 07:51 I wasn't seeking that experience, 07:53 it was just a gift from God. 07:54 And what a sweet gift. Yes, it was. 07:56 Now one thing, 07:58 as you mention about the prayers 07:59 that, up until this time, because of busyness, 08:02 you hadn't spend that time with God like you needed to. 08:05 But on some cases, 08:08 maybe we don't spend time with God 08:09 because we're fearful. 08:12 Why is it that you think 08:14 that we could be apprehensive 08:15 of going deeper into the presence of God? 08:18 I think that many people, 08:20 you know, I grew up with the very strange 08:23 and distorted image of the Lord. 08:25 I really did I was taught 08:27 I had to be perfect to be loved by God. 08:28 I grew up in a dysfunctional environment. 08:31 I had a love affair with Jesus 08:32 but as far as seeking the Father, 08:35 I thought God was just watching over me. 08:39 Ready to get you. 08:40 Ready to get me, exactly, you know. 08:42 And I think that, 08:45 to develop a passion for God's presence, 08:49 what we have to do is understand His love 08:53 and as we understand His love and His character 08:56 in Jeremiah 29:11, 11 through 14, 08:59 where He says, 09:00 "I know the plans I have for you, 09:02 plans to prosper you, not to harm you, 09:04 plans to give you a hope and a future. 09:06 Then you will come and seek Me 09:09 and you'll find Me when you seek Me 09:10 with all of your heart." 09:11 It's like. 09:13 I remember like oh, Lord, what does the "then" mean. 09:16 Why would you say you've got a plan for me, 09:18 then I will seek you. 09:20 It seemed out of order. 09:21 He seems like if I seek you, 09:23 then I find out you've got a plan for me. 09:26 And God was saying, if we recognize 09:29 that He has a plan for our life, 09:30 we'll be motivated to seek Him. 09:32 Right. 09:33 I mean, most of us are floating through life, 09:35 we think we're in control and then we realize we're not. 09:38 It's an illusion. It's an illusion. 09:40 So it's very important. Yeah. 09:42 That we seek Him. Yes. 09:44 "In Your presence is fullness of joy." 09:46 Amen. 09:47 That's what you know, a promise that I love as well. 09:50 And you know, for me the book, "Pressing in to His Presence" 09:54 really began three years later. 09:55 Here I'd had this beautiful year 09:58 before this experience, with that weak hiccup, 10:02 and then for another year or so it was just intense times 10:07 with the Lord every day, and in His Word, 10:10 praying his promises back to Him. 10:12 But then, I took a consulting job in Houston, Texas. 10:15 And for 18 months I was on the road with this business. 10:18 And I mean, I was on the road, 12, 12-- 10:23 We were working 12 hour days but it was seven days a week. 10:27 I mean, it was a startup company 10:28 and they had me traveling all over. 10:30 And so obviously, I couldn't go to church 10:33 because I'm on the road 10:34 and I'm giving seminars and symposiums. 10:38 And I was reasoning with the Lord, 10:40 that oh, Lord, this is only for a short time 10:42 that I'm forsaking the assembly. 10:44 Don't worry; I'm coming back to you Lord. 10:46 And I got to that point where I was reading 10:50 the obligatory chapter of my Bible every night. 10:52 But I wasn't spending time in the word. 10:54 And my prayers were just little short, 10:58 it's kind of like fast food prayers. 11:01 You know, it's just a little short drive through prayers 11:03 where the five minutes of prayer 11:05 and you think okay, that's enough. 11:07 And so what happened after 18 months of that is that. 11:10 I was lower than a-- 11:13 spiritually, I was so low on the totem pole. 11:16 And I remember one day I got in the car, 11:19 I was driving to Sam's and that was from this-- 11:23 we were living in Central Texas. 11:25 It was an hour long drive and as I got in the car 11:29 which is one of my favorite prayer closets, 11:30 I'm going down the road. 11:32 And I'm praying and I said 11:33 "Lord, how can I be so close to You 11:37 that, I feel Your heart beat, 11:39 and then find myself in such a backslidden condition? 11:42 I don't understand it. 11:44 And God so clearly, I mean, it was an hour prayer there 11:49 and I didn't get an answer 11:50 'cause I mean, I was praying earnestly for that hour. 11:53 Then I went into Sam's, did my shopping. 11:54 Got back in the car and I'm driving back 11:56 and I'm still seeking God for how could I backslide 12:00 and He so clearly spoke to me, with a still small voice 12:04 that 1 Kings 19:12 speaks of 12:06 and, and He said, "Child, if you will come-- 12:10 I asked and I said, 12:11 "Lord, how I can keep from backsliding? 12:13 I mean, I'm weeping going down the road. 12:15 If you saw me drive, you know, one hand on the wheel, 12:17 I'm praying, I mean, whatever. 12:19 And so the Lord just clearly spoke and said 12:23 "Child, if you will come to Me 12:26 and spend one hour with Me each morning, 12:29 I promise you'll never backslide again." 12:31 I thought, "Oh, You've got to be kidding, an hour." 12:35 And "Pressing in to His Presence" 12:37 is the story, it's the pattern of prayer, 12:40 it's how God taught me to pray. 12:44 And that was to press in, 12:46 through praise, then repentance, 12:49 affirmations, intercession and supplication, to the point, 12:52 where you're going on and you get to that point, 12:56 where you're really before Him 12:58 and you listen for His message to you. 13:02 Before we go deeper into your book, 13:04 it's this, I'm hearing this thing about 13:07 being in the car, 13:08 and lot of us are riding the car, 13:10 but maybe we don't often take that time to work 13:13 to school or even to church in those moments of solitude, 13:17 to really get into God's presence. 13:20 How can we do a better job with that? 13:22 Like I said, I think that, if we recognize 13:25 that God has a plan for our lives, 13:27 we're going to be seeking Him. 13:28 We pray, J.D. and I pray every day on the way. 13:31 I'm not... 13:32 I turn off the music generally, and spend that time in prayer. 13:36 You just want to get, learn 13:38 to capture those moments with God. 13:40 To seek Him, And to seek His face 13:42 not just his hand but it... 13:44 I like that. Yeah. 13:46 It's as you... 13:47 you've fall in love with Him and understand, 13:50 how He is the lover of your soul. 13:52 I think you get to the point, 13:53 where you just want to spend time with Him. 13:56 So it's like driving in the car with your spouse. 13:58 Right. 14:00 It's placing yourself in His presence. 14:02 Absolutely. And just being there. 14:04 You know, and the interesting thing, 14:06 when this learning to pray this way, 14:09 God totally changed my life. 14:11 Totally. 14:12 This was, if I could look back and say 14:15 this was the place the stones of remembrance, 14:18 the Ebenezer stone 14:19 where I set up a stone on altar and say, 14:22 this is where God changed my life, 14:24 it was when he taught me how to continue in prayer 14:29 until I had pressed in to the most holy place 14:33 and I didn't know, 14:35 when, when I was praying like this for year or two 14:38 before I recognize this, 14:40 God took me through a study on the sanctuary, 14:43 that this prayer pattern 14:47 was exactly the pattern of the sanctuary. 14:50 So it was entering His gates with thanksgiving, 14:52 entering his courts with praise, 14:54 going then before the altar of the burnt of the... 14:58 Sacrifice. Sacrifice. 15:00 And then pressing into the Holy place 15:03 and seeing each item there and then into the most Holy, 15:07 where you're really right before Him. 15:10 And you're listening for God to speak to you 15:12 and to some people that make so nervous. 15:15 But I know I've seen a number of your other guests 15:17 who had spoken about that still small voice of the Lord. 15:20 And one thing that I can say is God will never ever speak to us 15:25 in any way that doesn't line up perfectly with the word. 15:29 And so that's the section 15:32 I think that have had the most comments on from people 15:35 who've read this book and said 15:37 this has changed my life, to learn to listen for God. 15:40 And that's how I knew He was calling me 15:42 into full time ministry 15:43 and God only spoke to me in sentences 15:46 and sometimes a little paragraphs 15:47 and He'd say something saying, look it up. 15:48 And I go and find something in the Bible 15:51 and He totally changed my life with this type of prayer. 15:54 That is just amazing, just amazing. 15:56 Yeah. 15:57 Well, if you don't already have Shelley's book 16:00 "Pressing in to His Presence," you're going to want to get it. 16:03 We're going to find out how you can get it 16:05 and if you do already have it, 16:07 then you need to get it for somebody else, 16:09 whom you love and whom you have been praying for. 16:11 So watch this next part for a moment 16:14 and but don't go away because we'll be right back. 16:16 Thank you. 16:20 Have you ever long 16:21 to hear the still small voice of the Lord 16:23 and answer to your prayers? 16:25 Shelley Quinn lived a successful and busy life 16:28 but her hectic schedule kept her too busy 16:30 from having a deep walk with the Lord. 16:32 In "Pressing in to His presence," 16:34 bestselling author and popular 3ABN speaker 16:37 Shelly Quinn shares her own personal journey 16:40 through Scripture and the practical strategy 16:42 she used to surrender her will 16:45 and enjoy an intimate two way relationship with her Lord. 16:49 Find out how Shelley learned to press in to His presence 16:52 and learn how to open your heart 16:54 to the kind of relationship God has always wanted for you. 16:58 To get your copy of "Pressing in to His Presence," 17:01 call 1800-7656955. 17:05 Stop by your local Adventist Book Center or order online 17:09 at www.AdventistBookCenter.com 17:19 Welcome back to "Stones of Remembrance." 17:21 We're here today with our guest Shelley Quinn, 17:24 speaking about her wonderful book 17:26 "Pressing in to His Presence." 17:29 Shelley, you write about intercession 17:31 as part of this book. 17:33 What does it mean to intercede? 17:36 To intercede means to plead someone else's-- 17:40 intercession is to plead someone else's case 17:42 before the Lord. 17:44 I call it pleading for the perishing 17:46 but it is to pray on behalf of another. 17:50 And I seriously believe 17:53 that it is the highest calling to ministry that there is. 17:55 Because it's-- 17:57 the ministry of our risen and exalted Savior. 17:59 Hebrew 7:25 says, 18:01 "He ever lives to intercede," 18:02 and He's able to save the uttermost. 18:04 So I believe that as children of God 18:08 we are called to become like Jesus, 18:11 to do the things that Jesus did, 18:13 He said even greater things we would do 18:15 and I think we're supposed to be 18:17 co-intercessors with Christ. 18:18 I believe that we've got to 18:22 quit thinking that we have to be experts to pray. 18:25 I want to address that because I've heard, 18:28 I've heard people speaking about the gift of intercession, 18:31 that some people have 18:33 intercession as a spiritual gift. 18:35 Does that mean that-- 18:37 You know, I haven't really seen it 18:38 in the Bible, have you? 18:40 I've never seen where it says 18:42 that it's the gift of intercessor, 18:43 now I don't understand we do say, 18:45 you know, like, "you've got the gift of music 18:46 or the gift of this". 18:48 There are so here is the bottom for-- 18:52 to be an intercessor. 18:54 I came into this Scripture I love it in Isaiah 59:16, 18:58 actually, it's scary. 19:00 It said Isaiah 59:16, 19:03 the Lord is speaking and He is talking 19:05 how there is no righteousness 19:06 there's, there's, there's all these things going on 19:09 in the land and He says, 19:11 "He saw that there was no man, no intercessor... 19:17 and wondered that there was no intercessor." 19:20 Can you imagine, 19:22 you, we've heard this Scripture you know 19:23 that God's looking for someone to stand in the gap. 19:24 Right. 19:26 But He looks down and He sees no one's praying 19:29 and it causes God to wonder. 19:32 He's wondering two things, 19:33 one, why we don't love people enough to pray for them 19:38 and two, why we don't have enough faith in Him 19:42 to believe that prayers going to make a difference. 19:44 Because so, to be an intercessor 19:47 we just have to get to that point 19:49 where we have a love for people. 19:51 I think people who had the gift of intercessory 19:54 prayer as you've said or designated, 19:57 are people who have got that 19:59 empathetic connection with others. 20:03 And so they do pray. 20:05 And they have become convinced 20:07 that God is faithful to His promises 20:10 and that He is all powerful. 20:12 So Intercessory prayer is not something 20:16 that God just gives someone with, 20:19 it's something that is developed 20:21 when we understand that He can do, 20:24 He can change things and that we can, 20:28 if we love people enough to pray for them. 20:30 I think one of the biggest examples 20:32 that we see of that in Scripture 20:34 is near the end of Job. 20:35 Where, where it says 20:37 "The Lord turned away the captivity of Job." 20:40 "And doubly blessed Him." 20:42 "When he prayed." "For his friends." 20:44 So there's power there... 20:46 You see that's the point to intercessory prayer is that, 20:48 you don't want people to do it selfishly. 20:50 Right. Right, right. 20:51 But intercessors are doubly blessed 20:53 and you know, for myself, 20:55 my sister was a drug addict for 15 years. 20:58 And I prayed so earnestly, I interceded 21:01 because the way I look at it is God is a God of love and He, 21:05 as a God of love, He longs to bless people. 21:10 But He won't force His way upon anyone. 21:12 So it's like He puts handcuffs of love on Himself 21:15 that He's not gonna force His will upon you 21:18 and intercessory prayer is the key 21:20 that unlocks those handcuffs. 21:22 So my sister wasn't praying for herself. 21:25 She's a drug addict. 21:26 I prayed so earnestly 21:27 and I would pray and I would claim. 21:30 Act 26:18 and I would say, 21:33 well, first I'd pray Psalm 129:4, 21:36 "That the Lord is righteous. 21:37 He'll cut you free from the cord of the wicked." 21:39 And I pray that and I pray Acts 26:18 21:41 and say, "Oh, Lord, open her eyes. 21:43 Turn her from darkness to light, 21:44 from the power of Satan to You, Father, 21:46 that she might find an inheritance 21:49 among those who are sanctified by faith in You." 21:51 And then I pray Romans 8:13 and say Lord... 21:54 which says that 21:56 "It's by the power of the Holy Spirit, 21:57 we put to death the misdeeds of the flesh." 21:59 And I'm-- it's like 22:01 "Lord, pour out Your Spirit on her, 22:02 and let Him bring her to that point 22:03 where she can overcome this." 22:05 And after my sister came to her senses, 22:09 I mean, God chased her down 22:12 and she came to her senses, 22:14 He healed her immediately, from a 15 year drug habit. 22:18 And she thanked me. She just recently died. 22:22 And it was extremely tough for me 22:24 but she thanked me, at least once a week 22:28 for 28 years of her sobriety 22:32 that I had prayed for her 22:33 she would bring it up all the time. 22:35 She said, "I knew you were praying for me. 22:37 I knew there were angels around me. 22:39 I should have been dead so many different times." 22:41 So intercessory prayer does make a difference. 22:44 Absolutely. 22:45 And you pull in, the... 22:48 a component of perseverance in prayer there too. 22:52 How important is that? 22:55 I think the, you know, one thing that-- 23:00 there's times that as far as persevering in prayer 23:03 that I will pray and I get to certain point 23:05 where it's like, 23:06 Lord, I know I've got Your response on this. 23:08 So then I continually thank Him in prayer. 23:11 But one thing about pressing in to His presence, 23:15 which means you know, 23:16 and I don't want to say in this, 23:18 I use this particular prayer pattern 23:20 because it does model the sanctuary way. 23:23 I use it frequently in a short prayer, 23:26 but as far as, 23:27 really if you want to get in to the presence of the Lord. 23:30 I don't hear from God 23:32 when I've got all the filters on that 23:37 because you know, life is so busy 23:39 and you just don't have-- 23:42 It takes time to hear from God. 23:43 You've got to really get into His presence and keep praying. 23:47 Be intentional. Intentional and intense. 23:51 But He taught me, you know, the through praise, 23:55 repentance, affirmation, praying his promises back, 23:58 intercession through the supplication, 24:00 you're talking about persevering. 24:03 The supplication part was 24:04 where I was praying for my own needs. 24:06 God taught me that the greatest pursuit of the day 24:09 is to seek to be filled afresh with the Holy Spirit. 24:13 He taught me how to surrender. 24:16 And that's why I think probably the most 24:20 I've heard about this book 24:22 is people say the prayer of surrender, 24:24 learning how to surrender. 24:26 Because we talk about it, but nobody knows how to do it. 24:30 The perseverance, the interesting thing 24:32 when you're pressing into the presence of the Lord, 24:34 is it's a learning experience. 24:37 God teaches you as you're praying. 24:39 He taught me to make prayer a two way communication. 24:42 He speaks to you through the word 24:44 as you're through the affirmations. 24:46 He's-- and then if you hold still, 24:48 when He said and in Psalm 46:10. 24:51 "Be sill and know that I am God". 24:53 It was like, wow. 24:54 Oh, that's Isaiah 46:10. 24:55 Psalm 46:10 is when David says "Seeking your face." 24:59 But it's like oh, wow. 25:02 God is ready to speak to me. 25:04 And it may just be a sentence. 25:06 But it's some way that He's leading you 25:09 in it always, always lines up with the Bible. 25:13 It's a, it's amazing how you said that 25:15 God is ready and willing to speak to us. 25:19 Amen. 25:21 Could you give us in just 30 seconds 25:22 some people, maybe who are watching, 25:24 are maybe hesitant to, 25:25 to push deeper in their prayer lives, 25:27 how would you encourage them? 25:28 Here's what I would say to you. 25:30 There's nothing special about me 25:32 or anybody else that's ever heard, 25:34 you've ever heard say that God has spoken to them. 25:36 God loves you so much. 25:38 He is your Father. 25:39 He wants to speak with you. 25:41 He wants you to seek His face 25:44 and not just think he is some Santa Claus in the sky, 25:47 but to come before Him and to get real with Him. 25:51 You don't have to worry about, how you speak, 25:56 to share your heart with the Lord. 25:58 The one thing I do want a caveat 25:59 I want to add to that is, 26:01 we do need to take off our casual shoes 26:03 and realize, whose presence we are pressing into. 26:07 But God invites you. 26:09 In Hebrews 4:16 He says, 26:12 "Come boldly before My throne of grace, 26:16 to find help and grace in a time of need." 26:19 He wants to hear from you, He wants to talk with you, 26:22 and if you know that 26:24 you will find that prayer is something that is so, 26:28 so needful and so simple. 26:30 Shelley, thank you so much. 26:32 We've been having a conversation today 26:34 with Shelly Quinn about her book 26:36 "Pressing in to His Presence". 26:38 This has been another episode of "Stones Remembrance" 26:40 where we have remembered the great things 26:42 that God has done in our lives. 26:44 My name is Pierre Quinn 26:46 and for my co-host Karen Pearson, 26:48 we're asking you to, to join us on our next program, 26:51 where we talk with one of your favorite authors, 26:54 about the, the sections of their lives 26:56 that cause them to remember, what God has done for them. 26:59 Take care and will see you the next time. 27:01 Amen. 27:31 God's Love Song is sharing book for women 27:34 comes from beloved speaker and prayer warrior Ginny Allen. 27:38 Through personal stories, illustrations and Bible truths, 27:41 Ginny shares a beautiful picture of a God that loves us, 27:45 changes us, and uses us. 27:48 Women from all walks of life 27:49 will resonate with the experiences and truths 27:52 related in this book. 27:54 And will come away believing that God loves them 27:57 and has the power to change them. 28:00 A portion of sales from this book 28:01 will go to benefit Asian Aid, 28:03 a project to help benefit victims of human trafficking. 28:07 Quantity pricing is available. 28:09 Get your copy of God's Love Song today. 28:12 Call 1-800-765-6955. 28:16 Stop by your local Adventist Book Center 28:19 or order online today at AdventistBookCenter.com |
