00:03:12.19\00:03:15.49 We need to just give the truth 00:03:15.52\00:03:16.89 and the Lord will impress the people to give. 00:03:16.93\00:03:19.46 So we've never had... 00:03:19.49\00:03:21.36 No one's ever turned on the set off. 00:03:21.40\00:03:22.76 If you don't give the money, we're turning the lights, 00:03:22.80\00:03:24.53 we're going home, we're doing all these things. 00:03:24.57\00:03:26.13 I always says, "Well, 00:03:26.17\00:03:27.50 that's the Lord's responsibility, 00:03:27.54\00:03:29.00 if we do our part." 00:03:29.04\00:03:30.61 But how do we get people involved 00:03:30.64\00:03:33.48 where it's not just saying, 00:03:33.51\00:03:34.84 "Well, we want you to give a monthly gift." 00:03:34.88\00:03:37.05 It's, this is a team. 00:03:37.08\00:03:38.68 Without you, there's no 3ABN. 00:03:38.71\00:03:41.22 Without this end, you couldn't watch 3ABN without you giving, 00:03:41.25\00:03:45.09 we couldn't be here to present the message to the world. 00:03:45.12\00:03:48.59 So it's a team. 00:03:48.62\00:03:50.59 People of like beliefs, Christians, number one. 00:03:50.63\00:03:53.29 Many of your are Seventh Adventist Christians', 00:03:53.33\00:03:55.40 we thank you for that. 00:03:55.43\00:03:56.77 Many of you are Christians from numerous denominations 00:03:56.80\00:03:59.83 who have just said, Shelley, "Hey, we love the music. 00:03:59.87\00:04:02.54 We love preaching." 00:04:02.57\00:04:03.97 And one guy told me. 00:04:04.01\00:04:05.47 He was one of "the most powerful people, 00:04:05.51\00:04:07.84 " if I can use that term, in America and you met him. 00:04:07.88\00:04:11.35 You guys met him. 00:04:11.38\00:04:12.71 He said to me, "I'm not an Adventist. 00:04:12.75\00:04:15.38 I really support you guys, 00:04:15.42\00:04:17.32 and I have to tell you the truth. 00:04:17.35\00:04:19.62 You guys are telling the truth 00:04:19.65\00:04:20.99 more than anybody that I've seen." 00:04:21.02\00:04:22.49 I would never get into... 00:04:22.52\00:04:24.29 He said, "I would never get into a biblical discussion 00:04:24.33\00:04:27.93 with a Seventh Day Adventist," 00:04:27.96\00:04:29.46 and I have told people at my church, 00:04:29.50\00:04:30.87 "Don't do it, you'll lose." 00:04:30.90\00:04:33.40 You'll lose when it comes to doctrines and bible truth. 00:04:33.44\00:04:37.81 And so, but, so we have people 00:04:37.84\00:04:39.74 who believe in support in this ministry, 00:04:39.77\00:04:43.01 but how do we get people and enlighten them. 00:04:43.04\00:04:44.88 We're going to talk about that. 00:04:44.91\00:04:46.25 Shelley and John is really going to hit on this, 00:04:46.28\00:04:48.28 but we're... 00:04:48.32\00:04:49.65 This is not business as usual. 00:04:49.68\00:04:51.09 We're in the closing moments of earth's history, 00:04:51.12\00:04:53.42 and if you're not aware of 00:04:53.46\00:04:54.79 and you haven't seen the programs, 00:04:54.82\00:04:56.16 you will be I believe with time this program is over. 00:04:56.19\00:04:58.79 And so how do we get involved as a unit, as one, 00:04:58.83\00:05:03.33 with one voice going out. 00:05:03.37\00:05:05.30 We are all of us to be involved in the work of God. 00:05:05.33\00:05:09.37 By us sending you, 00:05:09.40\00:05:10.81 you send your donations to 3ABN. 00:05:10.84\00:05:12.91 We send you this, a plaque. 00:05:12.94\00:05:14.88 We actually have one here. 00:05:14.91\00:05:16.24 I think they have it on the screen. 00:05:16.28\00:05:17.61 It's a certificate. 00:05:17.65\00:05:19.28 It's, actually, we don't send the plaque. 00:05:19.31\00:05:21.12 You can... 00:05:21.15\00:05:22.48 You can frame it. 00:05:22.52\00:05:23.85 We don't send you the frame, you can get your own frame, 00:05:23.89\00:05:25.92 but we'll send you the blessing on the go. 00:05:25.95\00:05:29.16 This is an actual one here. 00:05:29.19\00:05:30.53 Here, this is Louella, won't give her last name. 00:05:30.56\00:05:33.23 She can, if she wants to, but it's Louella. 00:05:33.26\00:05:35.63 The blessing is on the go evangelistic team member, 00:05:35.66\00:05:38.50 and it says, "Because of your commitment to the Lord's work 00:05:38.53\00:05:41.54 and your monthly supportive of 3 Angels Broadcasting Network, 00:05:41.57\00:05:44.91 we recognize you as The Blessing Is on 00:05:44.94\00:05:48.24 the Go Evangelistic Team Member, 00:05:48.28\00:05:50.45 and so what this does, 00:05:50.48\00:05:51.81 we will send you an evangelistic tool 00:05:51.85\00:05:54.55 that is, whether it's sermons, whether it's music, 00:05:54.58\00:05:57.69 it's something that will help you. 00:05:57.72\00:05:59.09 You can not only take it yourself, 00:05:59.12\00:06:01.62 but we're hoping you'll share it 00:06:01.66\00:06:03.02 with your neighbors, church members, 00:06:03.06\00:06:05.23 and get people involved. 00:06:05.26\00:06:07.03 And you had a quote 00:06:07.06\00:06:10.17 that you said you woke up to this morning. 00:06:10.20\00:06:12.23 Oh.

So you cannot go. 00:08:42.25\00:08:43.59 Which means you've got to go. Got to go. 00:08:43.62\00:08:44.95 You've got to go, not just to church, 00:08:44.99\00:08:46.42 you've got to go to your neighbors, 00:08:46.45\00:08:47.79 you've got to go to your family, 00:08:47.82\00:08:49.16 and if you can't go, you've got to enable others 00:08:49.19\00:08:51.19 who can go to go. 00:08:51.23\00:08:52.73 Absolutely. 00:08:52.76\00:08:54.10 So you've got to go, you've got to do 00:08:54.13\00:08:55.46 just going to church, sitting and singing, 00:08:55.50\00:08:57.50 "Oh, I love Jesus" and going home is not enough. 00:08:57.53\00:09:00.40 That must be done, but if that's all you're doing 00:09:00.44\00:09:02.87 and some skip Sabbath School, some only come for the sermon, 00:09:02.90\00:09:05.14 some don't even come for that. 00:09:05.17\00:09:06.51 Watch out. 00:09:06.54\00:09:07.88 So if that's all you're doing, 00:09:07.91\00:09:09.24 you're not doing enough plus you're not preparing... 00:09:09.28\00:09:10.91 preaching went to Medland. 00:09:10.95\00:09:13.31 That's what somebody is saying. 00:09:13.35\00:09:14.68 You're not preparing yourself 00:09:14.72\00:09:16.08 to receive the latter rain experience. 00:09:16.12\00:09:18.52 This kind of thing is what's going to prepare you 00:09:18.55\00:09:20.99 for the latter rain experience. 00:09:21.02\00:09:22.72 Working for the souls of men and women 00:09:22.76\00:09:24.59 for whom Christ died. 00:09:24.63\00:09:26.06 That puts you in position 00:09:26.09\00:09:27.70 that's God's appointed agency to save your soul, 00:09:27.73\00:09:31.73 while you're trying to save someone else's. 00:09:31.77\00:09:33.10 Amen. 00:09:33.13\00:09:34.47 And you know something, this is 00:09:34.50\00:09:35.84 why I'm so excited about this program. 00:09:35.87\00:09:37.21 As soon as you announced it, 00:09:37.24\00:09:39.07 they didn't have to ask me to take over this 00:09:39.11\00:09:42.64 "Go Evangelistic Team." 00:09:42.68\00:09:44.01 I just started doing. 00:09:44.05\00:09:45.38 I've been operating like a, a, hummingbird on steroids, 00:09:45.41\00:09:49.85 but as soon as you announced it, 00:09:49.88\00:09:52.32 when I was praying, here is what I saw. 00:09:52.35\00:09:54.62 Is that... I'm going to tell a story 00:09:54.66\00:09:56.29 what happened when we were at the farm. 00:09:56.32\00:09:58.86 It was a severe draught. 00:09:58.89\00:10:00.70 There was cracks in the earth, and I... 00:10:00.73\00:10:03.50 We just moved to the farm and this was in Central Texas. 00:10:03.53\00:10:06.70 I'm praying to the Lord for rain. 00:10:06.74\00:10:09.04 Praying and praying for rain 00:10:09.07\00:10:11.11 and one night a gully washer came along. 00:10:11.14\00:10:13.44 You know, what a gully washer is. 00:10:13.48\00:10:14.81 When it just comes down, and we had a tin roof on the farm. 00:10:14.84\00:10:17.78 So it was... 00:10:17.81\00:10:19.15 You could just hear it and I couldn't wait 00:10:19.18\00:10:21.05 the next day to go out 00:10:21.08\00:10:22.52 and see what had happened. 00:10:22.55\00:10:24.19 And you know what, the ground was just as dry. 00:10:24.22\00:10:27.29 It was barely wet on top. 00:10:27.32\00:10:29.02 It was just as dry. Okay. 00:10:29.06\00:10:30.86 With just as many cracks. 00:10:30.89\00:10:32.69 And I'm thinking, "What happened in the..." 00:10:32.73\00:10:34.60 The still small voice of the Lord said, 00:10:34.63\00:10:37.33 "Just as you have seen in the physical realm, 00:10:37.37\00:10:39.57 when the earth is hardened, 00:10:39.60\00:10:41.67 the rain just rolls right off of it. 00:10:41.70\00:10:45.21 It was just off." 00:10:45.24\00:10:46.81 He said that, "If our hearts become hardened to his work, 00:10:46.84\00:10:52.58 then when the latter rain comes, 00:10:52.61\00:10:54.58 we're not going to be able to soak it up." 00:10:54.62\00:10:56.48 And what... 00:10:56.52\00:10:57.85 When you announced this, I was thinking that, in 1984, 00:10:57.89\00:11:01.72 when God launched 3ABN in 1984, 00:11:01.76\00:11:04.89 he could see the end from the beginning, 00:11:04.93\00:11:06.39 and I believe everything that we've done up to this point 00:11:06.43\00:11:09.63 has just been to get the infrastructure in place 00:11:09.66\00:11:12.70 because what I believe is that God. 00:11:12.73\00:11:15.94 This is no doubt a God redeemed program. 00:11:15.97\00:11:19.64 And I believe with all of my heart 00:11:19.67\00:11:22.21 that this is like relaunching the ministry 00:11:22.24\00:11:25.58 because God wants you involved. 00:11:25.61\00:11:27.85 He wants every one of us involved. 00:11:27.88\00:11:29.55 Right. 00:11:29.58\00:11:30.92 And what Ellen White said is so true that if-- 00:11:30.95\00:11:34.62 what the Lord was showing me 00:11:34.66\00:11:36.06 is that when we're filled with the Holy Spirit, 00:11:36.09\00:11:39.19 the way you know if you're filled with the Holy Spirit 00:11:39.23\00:11:41.66 is if you're a person who is loving. 00:11:41.70\00:11:43.80 If you can love God 00:11:43.83\00:11:45.17 with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength, 00:11:45.20\00:11:47.17 that's only by the power of the holys pirit. 00:11:47.20\00:11:49.20 Then you walk in obedience. 00:11:49.24\00:11:50.81 And then, if you are filled with the love of God. 00:11:50.84\00:11:54.61 Romans 5:5 said, 00:11:54.64\00:11:55.98 "He pours out his love into our hearts 00:11:56.01\00:11:58.81 so that we can not only love him 00:11:58.85\00:12:00.52 but that we can love others as our self." 00:12:00.55\00:12:02.68 If we're developing the character of Christ, 00:12:02.72\00:12:05.55 we will be going out 00:12:05.59\00:12:07.09 and we will be sharing the good news. 00:12:07.12\00:12:09.92 That's all evangelism is. 00:12:09.96\00:12:11.36 It's sharing the good news 00:12:11.39\00:12:13.90 to let someone know about salvation in Jesus Christ. 00:12:13.93\00:12:16.80 That's right. 00:12:16.83\00:12:18.17 And if we don't have a burden for other people, 00:12:18.20\00:12:21.30 we better check our pulse... 00:12:21.34\00:12:22.80 And see if we do have the spirit 00:12:22.84\00:12:25.27 because otherwise we don't. 00:12:25.31\00:12:27.24 And what I want to emphasize right now 00:12:27.28\00:12:29.84 is that somebody called and asked me 00:12:29.88\00:12:32.65 about the new program that we're doing. 00:12:32.68\00:12:34.28 This is not a program. This is not a campaign. 00:12:34.32\00:12:37.75 This is a revitalized emphasis on present truth evangelism. 00:12:37.79\00:12:42.86 Okay. 00:12:42.89\00:12:44.23 Which is what 3ABN's mission is all about. 00:12:44.26\00:12:47.40 And all we're doing now by the direction of God 00:12:47.43\00:12:51.40 is to weave you more into the fabric. 00:12:51.43\00:12:55.20 It's just like we're weaving golden threads 00:12:55.24\00:12:57.37 into the fabric of 3ABN 00:12:57.41\00:12:59.81 so that you become involved on a personal level. 00:12:59.84\00:13:03.11 And as you said, so that God did this, 00:13:03.14\00:13:06.68 I mean he could have saved the world 00:13:06.72\00:13:08.35 and salvation belongs to him, 00:13:08.38\00:13:09.95 but he could have done all of this without us. 00:13:09.98\00:13:12.59 But he gave us this opportunity 00:13:12.62\00:13:14.92 so that we could develop the character of Christ. 00:13:14.96\00:13:17.73 And this is a permanent part. 00:13:17.76\00:13:20.50 Like I said, it's like relaunching 3ABN. 00:13:20.53\00:13:23.16 This is our mission. 00:13:23.20\00:13:25.23 Our mission is not just to give the present truth 00:13:25.27\00:13:29.40 and the everlasting gospel, 00:13:29.44\00:13:31.01 the three angels messages of revelation 14, 00:13:31.04\00:13:34.84 our mission is to get you involved in doing this. 00:13:34.88\00:13:36.78 Amen. That's right. 00:13:36.81\00:13:38.15 Because that's how we're going to usher 00:13:38.18\00:13:39.65 in the latter rain. 00:13:39.68\00:13:41.15 And one more thought real quick. 00:13:41.18\00:13:42.52 Okay. Sure. 00:13:42.55\00:13:43.89 Because I'm so excited, you can't tell, can you? 00:13:43.92\00:13:46.96 Do you remember when we were in Israel 00:13:46.99\00:13:50.66 and you go and you see the Sea of Galilee 00:13:50.69\00:13:54.73 that is fed by the Jordan River 00:13:54.76\00:13:57.03 and life is teaming around the Sea of Galilee. 00:13:57.07\00:14:01.17 There's all kinds of industry, 00:14:01.20\00:14:02.54 there's all kinds of vegetation and farming, 00:14:02.57\00:14:04.87 and they use it to irrigate. 00:14:04.91\00:14:06.64 Life is teaming. 00:14:06.68\00:14:08.08 It's receiving this living water 00:14:08.11\00:14:10.68 that's coming from the Jordan into the Sea of Galilee, 00:14:10.71\00:14:14.15 but now the Sea of Galilee begins to empty out 00:14:14.18\00:14:17.25 and as it goes down through the Jordan River, 00:14:17.29\00:14:19.82 it goes into the Dead Sea. 00:14:19.85\00:14:21.96 Why is that living water... 00:14:21.99\00:14:24.66 Why does it become dead when it reaches the Dead Sea? 00:14:24.69\00:14:28.06 Because there's no outlet, 00:14:28.10\00:14:30.13 and it's the same thing for you and me. 00:14:30.17\00:14:32.30 Amen. 00:14:32.33\00:14:33.67 If we sit in church as Ellen White has said, 00:14:33.70\00:14:35.84 if we sit in church, 00:14:35.87\00:14:37.27 if we pray and we read our Bible 00:14:37.31\00:14:40.11 but you don't have an outlet to share the good news. 00:14:40.14\00:14:43.81 If you're not becoming a part of that team 00:14:43.85\00:14:48.75 that goes out to share the good news, 00:14:48.78\00:14:51.39 you're going to be stagnant. 00:14:51.42\00:14:52.79 So we want you to become a part, 00:14:52.82\00:14:55.89 we're calling it the "Go Evangelistic Team." 00:14:55.92\00:14:57.53 Yes, absolutely.

Wow. 00:16:50.54\00:16:51.87 Yes, that's true. That's the term she uses. 00:16:51.91\00:16:53.24 That's deep. 00:16:53.27\00:16:54.61 The term "treason," that if God calls you to go 00:16:54.64\00:16:55.98 and you don't go, heaven says you're treasonous 00:16:56.01\00:16:58.51 and treason of course is trying to pull down the government 00:16:58.55\00:17:01.52 that you sworn allegiance to. 00:17:01.55\00:17:03.15 You cannot do that. 00:17:03.18\00:17:04.52 The other thing is, remember when we were kids 00:17:04.55\00:17:05.89 and I will be done real quick, 00:17:05.92\00:17:07.26 when you took magnifying glass 00:17:07.29\00:17:08.89 and you shined the light of the sun on a piece of paper. 00:17:08.92\00:17:12.53 Yes. Yes, absolutely. 00:17:12.56\00:17:13.90 When you said that, that's what I was thinking about. 00:17:13.93\00:17:15.26 You're taking the rays of the sun 00:17:15.30\00:17:16.63 and you're focusing them on a point. 00:17:16.67\00:17:18.00 Yes. 00:17:18.03\00:17:19.37 So this is not a new program, 00:17:19.40\00:17:20.74 it's just focusing the rays of the sun 00:17:20.77\00:17:22.10 and at the point of focus, what happens right there. 00:17:22.14\00:17:24.47 It ignites. It ignites. 00:17:24.51\00:17:25.84 It ignites. 00:17:25.87\00:17:27.21 Precisely that's what we're trying to do, 00:17:27.24\00:17:28.58 start the fire. 00:17:28.61\00:17:29.94 That's true, I love it. 00:17:29.98\00:17:31.31 That pile says the fire is burning. 00:17:31.35\00:17:32.68 The ignition.

That is true. 00:18:42.02\00:18:43.82 Brian, also tell him how 00:18:43.85\00:18:45.19 because Shelley talked about donations. 00:18:45.22\00:18:46.62 I thought that would be a great transition 00:18:46.65\00:18:48.36 because there are people that are not in America, 00:18:48.39\00:18:50.13 but around the world and I think you... 00:18:50.16\00:18:51.49 Okay. 00:18:51.53\00:18:52.86 tell them how to get connected. 00:18:52.89\00:18:54.23 Okay, well Shelley talked about a little box there 00:18:54.26\00:18:57.33 that looks like one of our certificates 00:18:57.37\00:18:59.93 and there's a big bold word and it says, "Donate." 00:18:59.97\00:19:03.81 All you have to do is hit the button. 00:19:03.84\00:19:05.77 It's that simple. 00:19:05.81\00:19:07.14 Hit the button that says, "Donate, 00:19:07.18\00:19:08.74 " and then the page shows up 00:19:08.78\00:19:10.15 where you can put your credit card information, 00:19:10.18\00:19:12.91 the dollar amount that you want to donate, 00:19:12.95\00:19:14.75 and then one little button that you checkmark 00:19:14.78\00:19:18.39 and that little button says, "reoccurring." 00:19:18.42\00:19:20.56 "Recurring." This is that simple. 00:19:20.59\00:19:22.49 Now, we live in the world of windows. 00:19:22.52\00:19:25.76 In windows, you can get to the same place 00:19:25.79\00:19:27.76 from two or three different directions. 00:19:27.80\00:19:29.36 You know that. 00:19:29.40\00:19:30.73 It's sometimes that's flustrating to people, 00:19:30.77\00:19:32.90 frustrating, some kind of word like that anyway. 00:19:32.93\00:19:35.40 Yeah. 00:19:35.44\00:19:36.77 In other times, people like, say, 00:19:36.81\00:19:38.27 "I don't want to go your way. 00:19:38.31\00:19:39.64 I want to go a different way." 00:19:39.67\00:19:41.01 Up at the top of the 3ABN main home page 00:19:41.04\00:19:44.18 is a blue button with white letters 00:19:44.21\00:19:46.41 that says, "Donate." 00:19:46.45\00:19:47.78 If you hit that button, 00:19:47.82\00:19:49.15 it's going to let you to the same spot. 00:19:49.18\00:19:51.32 Now, if, if you're in another country 00:19:51.35\00:19:54.26 and you want to donate, 00:19:54.29\00:19:55.82 we have buttons for other currencies. 00:19:55.86\00:19:59.49 For instance, we have the British Pound, 00:19:59.53\00:20:03.20 we have one for Euros, one for Australian Dollars, 00:20:03.23\00:20:06.90 one for New Zealand Dollars, 00:20:06.94\00:20:08.60 another one is a button for Canadian Dollars. 00:20:08.64\00:20:12.64 We love Canadian Dollars. 00:20:12.67\00:20:14.98 Brazil, if you're in Brazil, guess what, you can do it. 00:20:15.01\00:20:18.51 Mexico, and we can add 00:20:18.55\00:20:20.85 as many buttons as there are currencies in the world 00:20:20.88\00:20:24.69 and if your button isn't on there, 00:20:24.72\00:20:27.29 then write 3ABN, email them, call us 00:20:27.32\00:20:31.29 and say, "Hey, I'm in and you tell us where 00:20:31.33\00:20:34.73 and I want to give, " 00:20:34.76\00:20:36.10 and we'll get your button on there. 00:20:36.13\00:20:37.63 Absolutely.

The Lord said, "Go forward." 00:23:51.23\00:23:53.40 We're going forward, and God will part the Jordan, 00:23:53.43\00:23:55.40 but you know what came to my mind, Danny, 00:23:55.43\00:23:57.40 an illustrious guest is... 00:23:57.43\00:23:59.60 There's a systemic issue 00:23:59.63\00:24:00.97 that's happening in the world right now 00:24:01.00\00:24:02.34 and particularly in America. 00:24:02.37\00:24:03.77 Yesterday, I did a program entitled. 00:24:03.81\00:24:06.88 It's on "A Sharper Focus," and if you want to see that, 00:24:06.91\00:24:09.08 you could go to "A Sharper Focus, asf.3abn.org, 00:24:09.11\00:24:13.38 " I plugged for the program on Wednesday nights. 00:24:13.42\00:24:16.38 There's an issue happening in America 00:24:16.42\00:24:17.82 that just took place, the redefinition of marriage, 00:24:17.85\00:24:20.09 and I said to the Christians that are watching television. 00:24:20.12\00:24:22.66 I said. 00:24:22.69\00:24:24.03 "There are many Christians 00:24:24.06\00:24:25.39 that are really irate about what just happened." 00:24:25.43\00:24:27.00 They are incensed about what the Supreme Court just did 00:24:27.80\00:24:30.57 because they know that it has no biblical foundation 00:24:30.60\00:24:34.44 whatsoever. 00:24:34.47\00:24:35.87 They are incensed and many people that are saying, 00:24:35.90\00:24:38.24 "How could they redefine something 00:24:38.27\00:24:40.04 that only God can define." 00:24:40.08\00:24:42.04 God created marriage, God defined it man and woman. 00:24:42.08\00:24:46.18 Now, that's why the Christians are upset today. 00:24:46.21\00:24:48.98 They want to do something about it 00:24:49.02\00:24:50.79 but there is another issue 00:24:50.82\00:24:52.15 because many people might think, 00:24:52.19\00:24:53.52 "Well, this is the beginning of the attack 00:24:53.56\00:24:55.29 on what God established. 00:24:55.32\00:24:56.66 Our creation, but I have news for you." 00:24:56.69\00:24:58.39 This is the capstone of the attack Danny, 00:24:58.43\00:25:01.30 because there was another attack 00:25:01.33\00:25:02.86 about 2000 years ago on the Sabbath 00:25:02.90\00:25:06.23 and many Christians today are honoring a day 00:25:06.27\00:25:08.50 that's nothing more than the tradition. 00:25:08.54\00:25:10.84 That's the reason why I say 00:25:10.87\00:25:12.21 we don't believe in traditional marriage. 00:25:12.24\00:25:13.98 I never support traditional marriage, 00:25:14.01\00:25:15.51 I support scriptural marriage. All right. 00:25:15.54\00:25:17.45 If it's on the bible, it's not going to change. 00:25:17.48\00:25:19.45 Now, let's just put this together in a context. 00:25:19.48\00:25:21.78 Let's say if the world lasts 300 more years. 00:25:21.82\00:25:24.19 In 300 years, Brian, if God allows to go that far, 00:25:24.22\00:25:27.99 which I don't think He will, 00:25:28.02\00:25:29.66 same sex marriage is going to be a tradition. 00:25:29.69\00:25:32.19 And that generation is going to say, 00:25:32.23\00:25:33.73 "We support traditional marriage." 00:25:33.76\00:25:35.56 That's the reason it's got to be scriptural. 00:25:35.60\00:25:38.23 So now, here's the point I make. 00:25:38.27\00:25:40.17 As we go through the study on the first day, 00:25:40.20\00:25:42.87 if you don't find any support in the Bible 00:25:42.90\00:25:45.74 for the observants of the first day, 00:25:45.77\00:25:48.18 you should be just as incensed as you are 00:25:48.21\00:25:51.08 about same sex marriage 00:25:51.11\00:25:52.45 because both hinder on the same thing, 00:25:52.48\00:25:54.88 what God established from the very beginning 00:25:54.92\00:25:56.92 and in the Garden of Eden, marriage and the Sabbath 00:25:56.95\00:25:59.25 were the only two institutions God blessed before sin, 00:25:59.29\00:26:02.42 so sin is responsible for the change. 00:26:02.46\00:26:04.53 And here's my point. 00:26:04.56\00:26:05.89 Christians should never support anything that man changes 00:26:05.93\00:26:09.40 from God's original design. 00:26:09.43\00:26:11.43 So if you're incensed about same sex marriage, 00:26:11.47\00:26:13.67 you should be just as incensed 00:26:13.70\00:26:15.74 about the change made from the Sabbath 00:26:15.77\00:26:17.64 to the first day of the week, 00:26:17.67\00:26:19.01 almost 2000 years ago, but what's the problem. 00:26:19.04\00:26:21.68 I'm working on a sermon called, "Termites," 00:26:21.71\00:26:23.24 and the reason is they're called Termites Shelley 00:26:23.28\00:26:25.91 because they are never just one. 00:26:25.95\00:26:28.28 It's not called termite, but termites. 00:26:28.32\00:26:30.49 Yeah. And the issue is systemic. 00:26:30.52\00:26:33.49 Four reasons. 00:26:33.52\00:26:34.92 They work in secret, you never know they're working. 00:26:34.96\00:26:38.03 Okay. 00:26:38.06\00:26:39.39 They work to weaken the foundation, 00:26:39.43\00:26:41.10 these are the issues happening. 00:26:41.13\00:26:42.63 They target areas that are vulnerable 00:26:42.66\00:26:45.20 and they are too tiny not to take seriously. 00:26:45.23\00:26:49.30 That's good. 00:26:49.34\00:26:50.67 Right now, the church is dealing with issues 00:26:50.71\00:26:52.04 that we say are tiny issues. 00:26:52.07\00:26:53.44 I'm not going to go through them now 00:26:53.48\00:26:54.81 because that'll be a whole another program, 00:26:54.84\00:26:57.15 but whatever issue weakens the foundation, 00:26:57.18\00:27:00.32 whatever groups are working in secret, 00:27:00.35\00:27:02.62 and whatever areas are becoming 00:27:02.65\00:27:03.99 more and more vulnerable to the Christian church 00:27:04.02\00:27:06.15 and the evangelist church at large 00:27:06.19\00:27:07.99 is an indication that there's an systemic issue. 00:27:08.02\00:27:10.06 Now, 3ABN, what are we doing to counteract that? 00:27:10.09\00:27:13.36 We are refusing to be politically correct. 00:27:13.40\00:27:16.40 Okay. 00:27:16.43\00:27:17.77 We are refusing to be biblically incorrect. 00:27:17.80\00:27:19.93 Amen. All right. 00:27:19.97\00:27:21.30 Our focus is to be biblically correct. 00:27:21.34\00:27:23.00 Amen. 00:27:23.04\00:27:24.37 As was told to that young prodigy of Paul. 00:27:24.41\00:27:26.98 He said, Paul said, "Preach the word." 00:27:27.01\00:27:28.81 Yes sir. 00:27:28.84\00:27:30.18 Be instant in season, out of season. 00:27:30.21\00:27:32.41 What that means is when you're telling people 00:27:32.45\00:27:34.82 that agree with you, preach it. 00:27:34.85\00:27:36.18 When you're telling people that don't agree, preach it. 00:27:36.22\00:27:38.05 Why? 00:27:38.09\00:27:39.42 For the time will come. Can I rephrase that? 00:27:39.45\00:27:41.56 For the time has come. All right. 00:27:41.59\00:27:43.76 When men do not endorse sound doctrine, 00:27:43.79\00:27:46.73 but according to their own lust, 00:27:46.76\00:27:48.10 they look for teachers having itching ears 00:27:48.13\00:27:50.73 and they turn away from the truth 00:27:50.77\00:27:52.10 and they turn to fables, and then Shelley 00:27:52.13\00:27:54.54 the reason why we are on the board 00:27:54.57\00:27:55.90 for this Go Evangelism 00:27:55.94\00:27:57.64 is because Paul says, "Do the work of an evangelist. 00:27:57.67\00:28:00.94 Make fool proof of your ministry." 00:28:00.98\00:28:02.71 So we're not still any longer. 00:28:02.74\00:28:05.28 We're not looking to be praised, pat on the back. 00:28:05.31\00:28:07.62 We're not looking for plaudits. 00:28:07.65\00:28:08.98 We don't want to be first, last, best, 00:28:09.02\00:28:10.39 but we do want to be right. 00:28:10.42\00:28:12.25 We want to be in harmony with God's word 00:28:12.29\00:28:14.06 and the other thing that is happening in our world today 00:28:14.09\00:28:16.83 is the knowledge that God intended for us 00:28:16.86\00:28:18.86 church to receive is being withheld. 00:28:18.89\00:28:21.36 And what happens as a result, 00:28:21.40\00:28:22.83 my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. 00:28:22.86\00:28:24.37 Amen. 00:28:24.40\00:28:25.73 Now, it's not that the knowledge is not there. 00:28:25.77\00:28:27.17 What knowledge is being withheld? 00:28:27.20\00:28:29.07 You know the more I travel Brian and CA and Danny 00:28:29.10\00:28:31.97 and Shelley, I don't want to exclude you, 00:28:32.01\00:28:33.88 the more we hear people saying, 00:28:33.91\00:28:35.31 "Whatever happened to sermons about the end time. 00:28:35.34\00:28:37.91 What about the second coming of Jesus. 00:28:37.95\00:28:39.41 What about the three angels messages. 00:28:39.45\00:28:40.95 What about the movements of Rome 00:28:40.98\00:28:42.95 and the coming in of the Sunday Law. 00:28:42.98\00:28:44.42 What about the truth about salvation, 00:28:44.45\00:28:46.45 'Not once saved, always saved.' 00:28:46.49\00:28:47.82 What about these things?" 00:28:47.86\00:28:49.26 And in this push for Go evangelism, 00:28:49.29\00:28:52.39 we're getting back to those messages 00:28:52.43\00:28:54.36 that the Lord said... 00:28:54.40\00:28:55.76 Amen. 00:28:55.80\00:28:57.27 "This gospel of the kingdom 00:28:57.30\00:28:58.63 shall be preached in the all the world 00:28:58.67\00:29:00.07 for a witness to all nations and then shall the end come." 00:29:00.10\00:29:03.51 So the monthly tools that Shelley and I 00:29:03.54\00:29:05.87 are going to be working on together 00:29:05.91\00:29:07.24 and all of our team 00:29:07.28\00:29:08.61 is to get people involved in being ambassadors. 00:29:08.64\00:29:11.61 Now, CA, I've got to go back to this 00:29:11.65\00:29:13.58 because Pastor CA, 00:29:13.62\00:29:14.95 you've got to work on the sermon, 00:29:14.98\00:29:16.38 you do the said worship. 00:29:16.42\00:29:17.75 He said, "Ambassador is not just a person that is sent, 00:29:17.79\00:29:20.56 but a person that supports the country 00:29:20.59\00:29:22.52 that it is sent by." 00:29:22.56\00:29:23.89 Okay. 00:29:23.93\00:29:25.26 You can go to an embassy 00:29:25.29\00:29:28.06 but you can't stay in there always. 00:29:28.10\00:29:30.67 If you don't buy into the program of that embassy, 00:29:30.70\00:29:32.57 if you're not a citizen of that kingdom 00:29:32.60\00:29:34.37 that that embassy represents, 00:29:34.40\00:29:35.74 sooner or later you're going to be put out. 00:29:35.77\00:29:37.74 Here's my point. 00:29:37.77\00:29:39.11 If you're in the church 00:29:39.14\00:29:40.48 and you're not involved in the work of the church, 00:29:40.51\00:29:41.84 you're not a part of the embassy, 00:29:41.88\00:29:43.21 you're an embesil. 00:29:43.24\00:29:44.58 Oh, whoo, whoo. 00:29:44.61\00:29:46.41 That's a strong word. 00:29:46.45\00:29:47.85 I never said that. They're strong words. 00:29:47.88\00:29:49.62 Now, let me tell you why I said that 00:29:49.65\00:29:50.99 because Jesus came during the wedding supper 00:29:51.02\00:29:54.92 and he saw a man in there, didn't He? 00:29:54.96\00:29:57.16 He did not have on the wedding garment. 00:29:57.19\00:29:58.79 Jesus didn't say, "You could stay." 00:29:58.83\00:30:00.16 He said, "Cast him into outer darkness. 00:30:00.20\00:30:02.20 Get him out of here." 00:30:02.23\00:30:03.57 Here's our point, 00:30:03.60\00:30:04.93 "It's not enough to be in the church." 00:30:04.97\00:30:06.30 You've got to be in the mission. 00:30:06.33\00:30:08.07 If you're not gathering with Jesus, 00:30:08.10\00:30:09.60 you're scattering abroad. 00:30:09.64\00:30:11.27 If you're not an ambassador, you're an embesil. 00:30:11.31\00:30:14.11 Preach it. Preach it. You've got to be involved. 00:30:14.14\00:30:16.01 You cannot be taking, taking, 00:30:16.04\00:30:17.88 taking Sabbath by Sabbath, week by week 00:30:17.91\00:30:20.38 but not get involved in gathering together 00:30:20.42\00:30:21.92 because Jesus says, 00:30:21.95\00:30:23.28 "If you're not gathering with me, 00:30:23.32\00:30:24.82 you're scattering abroad." 00:30:24.85\00:30:26.19 Finally, here are the two points of our mission. 00:30:26.22\00:30:30.63 Strategy, one, uplift Christ and everything. 00:30:30.66\00:30:32.76 Amen. We've got to do that. 00:30:32.79\00:30:34.50 Second, focus on preaching, not on popularity, 00:30:34.53\00:30:38.00 Thirdly, scriptively correct, not politically correct 00:30:38.03\00:30:42.24 and fourth equip all the partners 00:30:42.27\00:30:44.37 that join with us to be evangelists in the field, 00:30:44.41\00:30:48.08 every one can be an... Every one can do something 00:30:48.11\00:30:51.41 and finally what's our motive. 00:30:51.45\00:30:52.78 Our strategy is that those first four things. 00:30:52.81\00:30:54.78 What's our motive? 00:30:54.82\00:30:56.15 We want Jesus to come. 00:30:56.18\00:30:57.52 Is that a bad thing? No. No. 00:30:57.55\00:30:59.05 And He says, "This Gospel of the kingdom 00:30:59.09\00:31:00.89 shall be preached in all the world 00:31:00.92\00:31:03.09 for a witness sent to all nations, 00:31:03.12\00:31:04.66 and then shall the end come," 00:31:04.69\00:31:06.86 A prophecy and a promise. And as Pastor CA, say it again. 00:31:06.90\00:31:08.86 It's a prophecy and a promise. 00:31:08.90\00:31:10.23 It's a prophecy and it's a promise. 00:31:10.27\00:31:12.33 So I believe 00:31:12.37\00:31:13.70 as Ellen White says in the Desire of Ages 00:31:13.74\00:31:15.64 that he did not say 00:31:15.67\00:31:17.01 all the world is going to be converted, 00:31:17.04\00:31:18.37 but he did say, this gospel has to go as a witness. 00:31:18.41\00:31:20.54 Yes. 00:31:20.58\00:31:21.91 And as we do that, we're getting people prepared 00:31:21.94\00:31:24.88 so that when Jesus comes, there will be no excuse 00:31:24.91\00:31:27.52 and what that says to be Danny is God has given us 00:31:27.55\00:31:31.75 the awesome humble responsibility 00:31:31.79\00:31:35.02 to get the world ready for a second coming. 00:31:35.06\00:31:37.46 So what do we have to do? 00:31:37.49\00:31:39.09 What's the greatest threat? 00:31:39.13\00:31:40.60 The greatest threat to the Christian 00:31:40.63\00:31:42.86 is to preach a message that he or she does not live. 00:31:42.90\00:31:46.10 We're not just going to preach this message. 00:31:46.13\00:31:47.47 We're calling ourselves to living for this message. 00:31:47.50\00:31:49.44 Amen. Amen. 00:31:49.47\00:31:50.81 We're not just telling you what to do or what to believe, 00:31:50.84\00:31:53.01 we're saying, this is what we have to believe. 00:31:53.04\00:31:54.94 The greatest threat to the Christian church 00:31:54.98\00:31:57.08 is not to preach the message that Jesus said is or dained 00:31:57.11\00:32:01.92 to prepare the world for a second coming. 00:32:01.95\00:32:03.69 It's no longer business as usual. 00:32:03.72\00:32:05.39 Getting back to the message, Praise the Lord for that. 00:32:05.42\00:32:07.39 The blessings on the go. 00:32:07.42\00:32:08.76 When you get involved with the Blessings on the Go, 00:32:08.79\00:32:11.06 you will be equipped unequivocally equipped. 00:32:11.09\00:32:14.40 Brazil, you're up. 00:32:14.43\00:32:16.77 Jamaica, the Virgin Islands, Africa, 00:32:16.80\00:32:20.40 the list goes on and on. 00:32:20.44\00:32:21.77 You will be equipped. 00:32:21.80\00:32:23.14 So join us if you do believe that Jesus is soon to come, 00:32:23.17\00:32:27.21 you will be incensed by the darkness. 00:32:27.24\00:32:29.51 You will be incensed, but you can't get upset 00:32:29.54\00:32:32.31 and not do something. 00:32:32.35\00:32:33.98 That's kind of being nonplus. 00:32:34.02\00:32:35.35 That zero plus zero equals zero. 00:32:35.38\00:32:37.49 You've got to be a one factor and the power of one, 00:32:37.52\00:32:40.46 if you want to know the power of one, 00:32:40.49\00:32:41.82 just look at the life of Jesus. 00:32:41.86\00:32:43.19 One man affected the entire world. 00:32:43.22\00:32:45.09 We want to be that power of one joining with Christ. 00:32:45.13\00:32:48.03 Join us in the Blessings on the go. 00:32:48.06\00:32:49.90 Amen. 00:32:49.93\00:32:51.27 Now, you didn't mention about the Evangelistic Series 00:32:51.30\00:32:54.50 that you're going to be doing. 00:32:54.54\00:32:55.87 Yes. It's important. 00:32:55.90\00:32:57.74 As a matter of fact, we're walking along 00:32:57.77\00:32:59.21 with Danny and all the pastors. 00:32:59.24\00:33:00.58 CA and Danny, we're going to get together 00:33:00.61\00:33:02.61 with whoever decides to jump onboard with us in Europe, 00:33:02.64\00:33:06.11 I don't want to preempt 00:33:06.15\00:33:07.48 anything that you might be planning. 00:33:07.52\00:33:08.85 So I'm going to be broad about that, 00:33:08.88\00:33:10.35 but the evangelistic series, 00:33:10.39\00:33:12.69 we are going to go back to preaching messages 00:33:12.72\00:33:15.42 that are direct, messages that are relevant today. 00:33:15.46\00:33:18.56 Right. 00:33:18.59\00:33:19.93 There are moments happening in our world. 00:33:19.96\00:33:21.30 Rome is about to come and speak to Congress in America. 00:33:21.33\00:33:25.60 If this program is timed, if he's already come. 00:33:25.63\00:33:27.50 If it's repeated, then he may have already come, 00:33:27.54\00:33:30.01 but the purpose about to come and speak to Congress, 00:33:30.04\00:33:32.94 speak to politically leaders. 00:33:32.97\00:33:34.31 I understand that not too long ago, 00:33:34.34\00:33:35.68 he had meetings with many of the major mayors 00:33:35.71\00:33:37.68 in the United States. 00:33:37.71\00:33:39.55 Why is he doing that? 00:33:39.58\00:33:41.08 Because America is the last stronghold 00:33:41.12\00:33:44.45 for religious freedom 00:33:44.49\00:33:46.65 but you know if you're an American 00:33:46.69\00:33:48.39 that religious freedom is being eroded. 00:33:48.42\00:33:51.06 Example One, exhibit A, same sex marriage. 00:33:51.09\00:33:54.70 It's being eroded. 00:33:54.73\00:33:56.06 When the government starts penalizing its citizens 00:33:56.10\00:33:58.80 for standing for their scriptural beliefs, 00:33:58.83\00:34:01.57 America is not the place for God intended for it to be. 00:34:01.60\00:34:04.67 We're not standing, 00:34:04.71\00:34:06.11 we're not going against our government, 00:34:06.14\00:34:07.51 we're not anarchist, but when the decision comes. 00:34:07.54\00:34:09.11 You're going to get in trouble, John. 00:34:09.14\00:34:10.48 You're going to get in trouble now. 00:34:10.51\00:34:11.85 You know what, Danny. 00:34:11.88\00:34:13.21 You sure you don't want to be politically correct. 00:34:13.25\00:34:14.58 I'm not being politically correct. 00:34:14.62\00:34:15.95 I'm done with political correctness. 00:34:15.98\00:34:17.32 Lord called me to stand on the scriptures. 00:34:17.35\00:34:19.55 We're not speaking about anarchy. 00:34:19.59\00:34:21.39 We're not talking about overthrowing the government. 00:34:21.42\00:34:23.12 We're simply saying, 00:34:23.16\00:34:24.49 "Live what the Lord has called you to live for." 00:34:24.53\00:34:27.30 Jesus said, "In this world, you will have tribulation, 00:34:27.33\00:34:29.86 but be of good cheer. 00:34:29.90\00:34:31.23 I'll overcome the world." 00:34:31.27\00:34:32.60 So here's the point, 00:34:32.63\00:34:33.97 when it comes down to making the decision about men or God, 00:34:34.00\00:34:37.71 can we all say together we are on whose side? 00:34:37.74\00:34:39.64 God's side. Lord's side. 00:34:39.67\00:34:41.01 No question. God's side. 00:34:41.04\00:34:42.38 We're on the Lord's side. 00:34:42.41\00:34:43.75 3ABN is not just another ministry. 00:34:43.78\00:34:45.38 This is a God ordained light that needs to shine brighter 00:34:45.41\00:34:49.35 amid the growing darkness. 00:34:49.38\00:34:51.22 Promise Danny in Isaiah 60 00:34:51.25\00:34:53.82 is "Rise, shine for your light has come 00:34:53.86\00:34:56.99 and the glory of the Lord shall be risen upon you. 00:34:57.03\00:35:00.10 Darkness will cover the inhabitants 00:35:00.13\00:35:01.76 and gross darkness to people 00:35:01.80\00:35:03.93 but the glory of the Lord shall be risen upon you 00:35:03.97\00:35:06.30 and shall be seen upon you." 00:35:06.33\00:35:07.67 What's going to happen? 00:35:07.70\00:35:09.04 The gentiles will come 00:35:09.07\00:35:10.41 to the brightness of the rising. 00:35:10.44\00:35:11.77 So here's the point, 00:35:11.81\00:35:13.14 now if we refuse to light, if we refuse to allow 00:35:13.17\00:35:14.98 the glory of the god to be seen through us, 00:35:15.01\00:35:16.44 the gentiles cannot come out of darkness 00:35:16.48\00:35:18.65 and we believe that the majority of the people 00:35:18.68\00:35:20.52 that Jesus came to save are still in the world 00:35:20.55\00:35:23.85 so we're committed to getting into your neighborhood, 00:35:23.89\00:35:25.69 your community, your churches, 00:35:25.72\00:35:27.56 wherever you live, if you want to be involved, 00:35:27.59\00:35:29.69 we are the people that you need to partner with 00:35:29.72\00:35:31.73 because we are standing not with ourselves 00:35:31.76\00:35:34.66 but we're standing with Jesus. 00:35:34.70\00:35:36.43 So this evangelistic series is going to challenge you 00:35:36.46\00:35:40.04 not just to come and attend, 00:35:40.07\00:35:41.67 but we're going to send you from every evangelistic series 00:35:41.70\00:35:44.91 that we have, every series that we hold, 00:35:44.94\00:35:48.64 we're going to equip you to go forth now 00:35:48.68\00:35:50.88 and to duplicate and to triplicate 00:35:50.91\00:35:52.55 that very message in your community. 00:35:52.58\00:35:54.12 That's what we're doing. 00:35:54.15\00:35:55.48 That's the difference between this evangelism 00:35:55.52\00:35:57.75 and evangelism of the past. 00:35:57.79\00:35:59.89 Could I just add one thing? Sure. 00:35:59.92\00:36:02.12 I know that, to me, this is the most exciting time 00:36:02.16\00:36:05.63 since I've been here at 3ABN in 10 years. 00:36:05.66\00:36:08.26 I thought I was excited about the 10 commandments 00:36:08.30\00:36:10.37 we gained it 00:36:10.40\00:36:11.77 but to me just planning this and working on this, 00:36:11.80\00:36:17.11 God has revitalized my own spiritual energy. 00:36:17.14\00:36:21.28 Danny said it to me the other day. 00:36:21.31\00:36:22.94 He said, "Shelley's back." 00:36:22.98\00:36:24.78 And I didn't realize how I was beginning to kinda... 00:36:24.81\00:36:29.72 just droop a little bit, God, it's like he's put the wind 00:36:29.75\00:36:32.55 underneath my wings again. 00:36:32.59\00:36:34.49 You'll be revitalized by participating in this. 00:36:34.52\00:36:37.39 But I forgot to mention why we have the flier. 00:36:37.43\00:36:40.20 We've have so many of you saying, 00:36:40.23\00:36:42.46 you know, "What can you send us? 00:36:42.50\00:36:44.07 Can you send us a flier so that we can get others," 00:36:44.10\00:36:47.80 because not only do you want to be involved and revitalized, 00:36:47.84\00:36:52.74 but get other people to join in this effort. 00:36:52.77\00:36:56.91 Get out there and get others 00:36:56.95\00:36:58.28 and your whole church will become revitalized. 00:36:58.31\00:37:01.45 This is what it's all about. 00:37:01.48\00:37:03.92 Now, I mentioned that... 00:37:03.95\00:37:08.06 we've already got-- Our list is growing. 00:37:08.09\00:37:10.66 I think we're going to be one of these people 00:37:10.69\00:37:13.06 and I think we've discussed this. 00:37:13.09\00:37:14.43 It's okay for me to announce I believe. 00:37:14.46\00:37:15.96 That if you want volume of material, 00:37:16.50\00:37:19.57 if we're sending out a certain sermon 00:37:19.60\00:37:21.20 and you want to get a 10 pack of that, 00:37:21.24\00:37:22.90 we're going to make 00:37:22.94\00:37:24.54 a special volume price available 00:37:24.57\00:37:28.01 to our Go Evangelistic Team members 00:37:28.04\00:37:32.08 so that you get the free one, 00:37:32.11\00:37:33.45 but if you want to get some more, 00:37:33.48\00:37:35.42 we're going to make that available to you-- 00:37:35.45\00:37:36.85 We're serious enough about this. 00:37:36.89\00:37:38.45 We're even talking about Spring Camp Meeting Brian 00:37:38.49\00:37:41.52 that to took start a day early 00:37:41.56\00:37:44.93 evangelistic team members that you'll come, 00:37:44.96\00:37:47.40 we'll have seminars being taught. 00:37:47.43\00:37:49.36 The tools, you'll tell us what tools you've been using, 00:37:49.40\00:37:51.77 what tools you would like to have 00:37:51.80\00:37:53.57 so we can get together here at 3ABN 00:37:53.60\00:37:56.60 so we want you to be on that team member 00:37:56.64\00:37:59.47 and so when you come, 00:37:59.51\00:38:00.84 we're going to maybe start camp meetings at... 00:38:00.88\00:38:02.84 all right everybody a day earlier 00:38:02.88\00:38:05.28 and this will be especially for the Go Evangel-- 00:38:05.31\00:38:08.48 We want you to meet all of us, us to be able to meet you, 00:38:08.52\00:38:11.72 to hear how the Lord is blessing 00:38:11.75\00:38:13.79 and your testimonies as well, we want to hear, 00:38:13.82\00:38:16.83 because when you go, 00:38:16.86\00:38:18.49 the blessing of God really is on the go, 00:38:18.53\00:38:21.56 and when you do, all of a sudden 00:38:21.60\00:38:23.57 when you see these blessings, you can't contain them. 00:38:23.60\00:38:25.90 When you can't contain them, guess what happens. 00:38:25.93\00:38:27.64 You begin to share and that's what gets people 00:38:27.67\00:38:30.91 because the world around us is dark. 00:38:30.94\00:38:32.97 There is no good news. 00:38:33.01\00:38:34.38 I mean two TV anchors just recently... 00:38:34.41\00:38:37.48 doing a live program, 00:38:37.51\00:38:38.85 and they're killed in front of live audience. 00:38:38.88\00:38:41.78 Some one else shot. 00:38:41.82\00:38:43.15 I mean nowhere in the world is safe today. 00:38:43.18\00:38:45.32 No. 00:38:45.35\00:38:46.69 No one has any answers-- That's right-- 00:38:46.72\00:38:48.06 that can help today. 00:38:48.09\00:38:50.86 Except the only answer for this world's problems today 00:38:50.89\00:38:53.33 is the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:38:53.36\00:38:54.70 and to submit and commit our lives to Him, 00:38:54.90\00:38:57.13 but in order to go to heaven, we can't be a hermit. 00:38:57.17\00:38:59.83 One guy tell me, "I could just be a hermit and be a Christian. 00:38:59.87\00:39:02.64 I could just go out by myself." 00:39:02.67\00:39:04.87 I said, "That's not the Bible I'm reading." 00:39:04.91\00:39:07.04 This says, "Go E and to all the world." 00:39:07.08\00:39:09.94 So once we receive it, our greatest asset, 00:39:09.98\00:39:12.95 Ellen White, says, and I have to agree with it 00:39:12.98\00:39:15.58 is our own personal testimony of what God has done for us 00:39:15.62\00:39:18.95 and when you share that, people can't deny that. 00:39:18.99\00:39:21.22 They can't fight that. They can't rebuddle it. 00:39:21.26\00:39:24.03 How can just somebody rebuddle what's happened to you. 00:39:24.06\00:39:27.23 Right? That's Right. 00:39:27.26\00:39:28.60 They can try to deny it, but it doesn't change you. 00:39:28.63\00:39:30.90 It doesn't change where you're at. 00:39:30.93\00:39:32.27 But once you become evangelistic team member 00:39:32.43\00:39:36.00 and one of the things is, about this, 00:39:36.04\00:39:38.91 it may seem like it's very insignificant, 00:39:38.94\00:39:41.24 but to me, it says, "I'm a part of something." 00:39:41.28\00:39:43.38 Amen. 00:39:43.41\00:39:44.75 Sometimes when we're by ourselves, we forget... 00:39:44.78\00:39:48.58 about all the other people, who are on our team. 00:39:48.62\00:39:51.85 And I want to tell you something, 00:39:51.89\00:39:53.22 you may be at home and when you're alone 00:39:53.25\00:39:54.82 and you're thinking, "Man, I'm here by myself. 00:39:54.86\00:39:57.23 I'm not really a part of anything." 00:39:57.26\00:39:59.13 Well I'm glad for 3ABN, glad for whomever, 00:39:59.16\00:40:02.03 but I'm just not a part. 00:40:02.06\00:40:03.40 No, you're a part of this, 00:40:03.43\00:40:04.80 but I'm going to have to tell you something 00:40:04.83\00:40:06.23 that I'll confess to you. 00:40:06.27\00:40:08.40 There has been times that I almost felt 00:40:08.44\00:40:09.77 like, "We're alone," 00:40:09.80\00:40:11.31 because where are the people. 00:40:11.34\00:40:12.67 Where are the 18 million Seventh Adventist Christians 00:40:12.71\00:40:16.34 and only about 8,000 or 9,000 people up to this point 00:40:16.38\00:40:19.75 ever gave any size donation in a given month. 00:40:19.78\00:40:23.55 I mean that's not even fraction of a percentage, Brian. 00:40:23.59\00:40:26.25 You're the mathematician here, 00:40:26.59\00:40:28.56 and a lot of that is amazing to me, but now... 00:40:28.59\00:40:31.43 as far as the people overseas, 00:40:31.46\00:40:33.70 the 17 million there, 00:40:33.73\00:40:35.76 now they have a way to give. 00:40:35.80\00:40:37.50 And before, it was very hard 00:40:37.53\00:40:39.50 with currencies, you couldn't do it. 00:40:39.53\00:40:40.87 Now, you can go to PayPal 00:40:40.90\00:40:42.74 and send the money directly there, 00:40:42.77\00:40:44.61 but there's been times we felt alone 00:40:44.64\00:40:46.78 because we say, "What is wrong? We're giving the message 00:40:46.81\00:40:49.64 and yet people aren't catching the vision, other people are. 00:40:49.68\00:40:54.02 The folks outside that are not Adventist, 00:40:54.05\00:40:55.95 they're watching this and coming in," 00:40:55.98\00:40:57.62 but they'll go to churches and people say, 00:40:57.65\00:41:00.16 I've actually had people say, "I've gone to the church 00:41:00.19\00:41:03.66 and nobody seems to be excited about the message." 00:41:03.69\00:41:06.39 What I see on 3ABN, when I get into the churches, 00:41:06.43\00:41:09.43 it's business as usual. 00:41:09.46\00:41:11.33 Well, business won't be as usual 00:41:11.37\00:41:13.13 because what we want you to do not only become an official... 00:41:13.17\00:41:17.01 blessing on the Go Evangelistic Team member with us 00:41:17.04\00:41:20.48 and that's by donation of any amount. 00:41:20.51\00:41:22.91 We're not telling you what you give. 00:41:22.94\00:41:24.45 You pray and ask God. 00:41:24.48\00:41:25.81 Some of you will give more than you thought you could. 00:41:25.85\00:41:28.48 Some may say, "I've got to give less." 00:41:28.52\00:41:31.02 It's between you and the Holy Spirit. 00:41:31.05\00:41:32.92 We're not telling you what to do, 00:41:32.95\00:41:34.66 but we're committed every time, 00:41:34.69\00:41:36.86 as Shelley says, "You can go on like me." 00:41:36.89\00:41:38.86 I don't like to have to think about it every month 00:41:38.89\00:41:40.90 so you can go and click that where it's just recurring. 00:41:40.93\00:41:45.07 Until you want to stop so every month 00:41:45.10\00:41:47.27 it'll just come out, whether it's your credit card 00:41:47.30\00:41:48.97 or whatever it is that you have. 00:41:49.00\00:41:51.01 So we want you 00:41:51.04\00:41:52.67 to be a part of something that we're a part of 00:41:52.71\00:41:55.31 and we actually now are working together. 00:41:55.34\00:41:57.91 You're taking this, you're sharing 00:41:57.95\00:42:00.12 what it's doing for you with others, 00:42:00.15\00:42:01.85 get your church members involved and say, "Listen, 00:42:01.88\00:42:05.09 we want you to get involved with 3ABN." 00:42:05.12\00:42:07.46 Maybe they are not watching 3ABN. 00:42:07.49\00:42:09.22 It is so simple to get 3ABN. 00:42:09.26\00:42:10.83 You can downlink it on your iPhone, 00:42:10.86\00:42:13.60 if you've got an android, any kind of smart phone, 00:42:13.63\00:42:16.30 some of you still has a little flip phone. 00:42:16.33\00:42:18.47 You can go to Wal-Mart. I'm not paid by Wal-Mart. 00:42:18.50\00:42:22.14 You can go to Wal-Mart and pay $49 00:42:22.17\00:42:24.51 for a little roku box. 00:42:24.54\00:42:26.11 If you've got internet in your house, 00:42:26.14\00:42:27.94 you can watch all the Adventist channels and a lot more. 00:42:27.98\00:42:30.75 We're coming out with a new one called my SDA TV. 00:42:30.78\00:42:33.68 There'll be all Adventist channels. 00:42:33.72\00:42:35.52 This is going to be like $35. No monthly fee, a one-time fee. 00:42:35.55\00:42:39.05 When we started this Brian, I couldn't believe 00:42:39.09\00:42:41.56 conservative Adventists, older folks, 00:42:41.59\00:42:44.19 who never had a television were paying $2000 00:42:44.23\00:42:47.00 for a 12 foot satellite dish out in their yard 00:42:47.03\00:42:50.03 because they were so excited about getting the message. 00:42:50.07\00:42:53.13 So now, God has made it, 00:42:53.17\00:42:55.00 the technology has changed so much. 00:42:55.04\00:42:56.60 It's so simple to get 3ABN. You can do it in numerous ways. 00:42:56.64\00:43:00.78 Of course, we're on hundreds of cable stations 00:43:00.81\00:43:04.15 and our own stations and radio stations, 00:43:04.18\00:43:06.15 but-- and all of these things, 00:43:06.18\00:43:08.88 you can get us through the internet, 00:43:08.92\00:43:10.75 but God has made a way to get this gospel into all the world, 00:43:10.79\00:43:13.92 but people are not going to be rejuvenated. 00:43:13.96\00:43:16.22 You're not going to be 00:43:16.26\00:43:17.76 until you say, "Lord, I want to be on the part of go." 00:43:17.79\00:43:21.70 And it's really this simple, 00:43:21.73\00:43:23.06 the devil says, "Stop," and the Lord says, "Go." 00:43:23.10\00:43:27.00 Think about it for just a second. 00:43:27.04\00:43:28.97 That's really what it's all about. 00:43:29.00\00:43:30.44 Whose side am I on? Am I on the side of stop? 00:43:30.47\00:43:33.11 Am I on the side of go? 00:43:33.14\00:43:34.64 The fact that you have bad health that help, 00:43:34.68\00:43:36.31 the fact that you live by yourself, 00:43:36.34\00:43:37.68 the fact that you might even be incarcerated 00:43:37.71\00:43:39.95 doesn't keep you from sharing the tools 00:43:39.98\00:43:42.28 that we send you with those around you. 00:43:42.32\00:43:44.62 You are an evangelist. Amen. 00:43:44.65\00:43:47.19 You even know there are many people, 00:43:47.22\00:43:48.72 they have monthly payments set up. 00:43:48.76\00:43:50.53 My wife and I, 00:43:50.56\00:43:51.89 we have our payments set up on a monthly basis. 00:43:51.93\00:43:53.26 There are some people that have their cable bills 00:43:53.86\00:43:55.66 on a monthly basis, and I can guarantee you 00:43:55.70\00:43:57.93 many are paying more for cable than they are donating to 3ABN. 00:43:57.97\00:44:00.57 Absolutely. 00:44:00.60\00:44:01.94 There are people that have their internet service, 00:44:01.97\00:44:03.30 but look at...look at... look at what's happening. 00:44:03.34\00:44:05.37 They're paying for things that are self focused. 00:44:05.41\00:44:08.58 We're saying for you to pay for something. 00:44:08.98\00:44:11.78 Let me rephrase that, to invest in something 00:44:11.81\00:44:14.72 that is Gospel focused. 00:44:14.75\00:44:17.59 You see, when the Lord comes, 00:44:17.62\00:44:19.65 if we have not invested our time and our talents, 00:44:19.69\00:44:23.22 where your treasure is, 00:44:23.26\00:44:24.66 that's where your heart is going to be. 00:44:24.69\00:44:26.53 So, when people invest, just imagine, 00:44:26.56\00:44:28.40 I looked at some of these cable packages. 00:44:28.43\00:44:30.10 I remember when we decided to get cable, 00:44:30.13\00:44:31.87 I mean, a satellite 00:44:31.90\00:44:33.47 because we live so far away from anything. 00:44:33.50\00:44:36.30 They give you these packages 00:44:36.34\00:44:37.67 and when you look at how much that they're asking 00:44:37.71\00:44:39.14 on a monthly basis for just to furnish stuff to self, 00:44:39.17\00:44:43.65 and then you think about... 00:44:43.68\00:44:45.01 how much we give towards the Gospel, 00:44:45.05\00:44:46.61 as I said, as a pastor, there are few people, 00:44:46.65\00:44:48.58 Brian knows this 00:44:48.62\00:44:49.95 and some of you that have involved 00:44:49.98\00:44:51.32 and Pastor CA knows this. 00:44:51.35\00:44:52.82 It is sad that in many churches, 00:44:52.85\00:44:54.72 and this is across the board, 00:44:54.76\00:44:57.43 the minority of the members 00:44:57.46\00:44:58.89 support the majority of the church. 00:44:58.93\00:45:01.16 Because so many people are self focused. 00:45:01.20\00:45:03.16 I can see why Ellen White says, "The greatest battle 00:45:03.20\00:45:04.87 that we have to fight is against self." 00:45:04.90\00:45:06.63 So if self is put to death, we could then be involved 00:45:06.67\00:45:09.70 in what we are told, to get involved with the gospel 00:45:09.74\00:45:12.07 and there was a message here 00:45:12.11\00:45:13.44 in Quotation and Testimonies, Volume 8. 00:45:13.48\00:45:15.28 She says, "The world is perishing 00:45:15.31\00:45:16.64 for want of the Gospel." 00:45:16.68\00:45:18.25 The Lord calls upon his servants 00:45:18.28\00:45:20.38 to carry His message to the people. 00:45:20.42\00:45:22.02 That's what we're doing Shelley. 00:45:22.05\00:45:23.39 We're saying to the people now, 00:45:23.62\00:45:24.95 "You are the servant the Lord has called." 00:45:24.99\00:45:26.96 He has called no one and Danny, I like this. 00:45:26.99\00:45:29.39 For years, Danny blessings on the go. 00:45:29.42\00:45:31.56 The Lord has two-- He has two statements. 00:45:31.59\00:45:36.36 Come and what else? Go. 00:45:36.40\00:45:38.93 If you've come, now it's time for you to go, 00:45:38.97\00:45:41.14 go into all the world 00:45:41.17\00:45:42.50 and that's what we're excited about. 00:45:42.54\00:45:43.87 Come to the foot of the cross and then you go and tell 00:45:43.91\00:45:46.37 what god has done for you, Brian. 00:45:46.41\00:45:49.04 For the folks at home, we were saying 00:45:49.08\00:45:50.68 3ABN has been growing for 31 years, 00:45:50.71\00:45:53.45 but it's like we had a foundation 00:45:53.48\00:45:55.48 and I'm talking about on monthly donations 00:45:55.52\00:45:57.45 that we can depend on... 00:45:57.49\00:45:59.42 and very few just a few thousand... 00:45:59.45\00:46:02.79 from literally around the world 00:46:02.82\00:46:04.53 so we only have this much we know coming, 00:46:04.56\00:46:07.23 but our ministries are going like this 00:46:07.26\00:46:10.40 and it literally can topple. 00:46:10.43\00:46:12.73 And so what we are doing is saying, 00:46:12.77\00:46:15.07 "Now, how can we do this? 00:46:15.10\00:46:16.44 We don't want to do begathons, we don't want to do praisathons 00:46:16.47\00:46:19.31 and then it occurred to us, 00:46:19.34\00:46:21.08 and it was a God idea, I'm sure. 00:46:21.11\00:46:22.88 Let's join together team members 00:46:23.48\00:46:25.98 who really watching this program says, 00:46:26.01\00:46:29.02 I want to be a part of something, not just giving, 00:46:29.05\00:46:32.05 but I want to be able to be equipped 00:46:32.09\00:46:34.46 so that I can be a better evangelist 00:46:34.49\00:46:36.66 and 3ABNs got 31 years of experience. 00:46:36.69\00:46:38.89 If you could tell us, Brian it cost us, 00:46:38.93\00:46:41.20 how much, a million-- 00:46:41.23\00:46:42.73 About $1.2 million a month. 00:46:42.76\00:46:45.93 Just to maintain-- Yeah, Just to maintain, 00:46:45.97\00:46:48.30 not grow or go anywhere, but just to maintain. 00:46:48.34\00:46:50.67 And where does that money come from? 00:46:50.71\00:46:52.04 I guess you're rich and you're the CFO, right. 00:46:52.07\00:46:54.74 Well, no. 00:46:54.78\00:46:56.11 I maybe the CFO but somewhere I was out to lunch 00:46:56.14\00:46:59.18 when the riches came by. 00:46:59.21\00:47:00.55 When the riches came by. 00:47:00.58\00:47:02.18 I do want to say something to our viewers. 00:47:02.22\00:47:05.25 I'm the treasurer. 00:47:05.29\00:47:06.86 I deal with the money every day. 00:47:06.89\00:47:08.92 I work with paying the bills, collecting and receiving, 00:47:08.96\00:47:11.76 and all that kind-- 00:47:11.79\00:47:13.13 It's with money with me every day. 00:47:13.16\00:47:14.86 But I want you to notice, of the group here, 00:47:14.90\00:47:17.33 I have said the least about money. Okay. 00:47:17.37\00:47:20.37 I want you to catch that. You have. 00:47:20.40\00:47:21.90 I have said the least about money 00:47:21.94\00:47:23.44 because really my heart is in ministry. 00:47:23.47\00:47:26.24 Money is necessary, but 3ABN is about ministry. 00:47:26.27\00:47:30.48 That's right. 00:47:30.51\00:47:32.81 I'm just thinking of our downlinks. 00:47:32.85\00:47:34.95 We have downlinks across the country. 00:47:34.98\00:47:37.29 Any church, Adventist Church, where you have a downlink 00:47:37.32\00:47:41.52 and you haven't canvassed your town 00:47:41.56\00:47:43.89 telling them about the possibility 00:47:43.93\00:47:46.36 of the dew falling on them from 3ABN, 00:47:46.39\00:47:50.97 you've lost the greatest 00:47:51.00\00:47:52.97 evangelistic opportunity in a lifetime. 00:47:53.00\00:47:56.07 That's right. You know. Really. 00:47:56.10\00:47:57.61 And so maybe our tools that we can give you, 00:47:57.64\00:48:00.98 yes, there's a DVD to share with your friends 00:48:01.01\00:48:03.14 or neighbors or something, 00:48:03.18\00:48:04.51 but if you're in an area where the 3ABN can be seen, 00:48:04.55\00:48:08.18 you need to let your whole town or radio. 00:48:08.22\00:48:11.75 That's right. Whole town know. Very good, Brian. 00:48:11.79\00:48:14.09 That 3ABN is available in your community 00:48:14.12\00:48:17.29 and is alternative viewing that is family friendly, 00:48:17.33\00:48:21.20 that is morally on key, that is right, 00:48:21.23\00:48:25.30 that's good stuff, not bad stuff, 00:48:25.33\00:48:28.04 not evil stuff, you know. 00:48:28.07\00:48:29.97 And so I'm about evangelism 00:48:30.01\00:48:32.57 and this thing is about evangelism. 00:48:32.61\00:48:34.84 There's money involved, 00:48:34.88\00:48:36.21 but I'm not about the money on it. 00:48:36.24\00:48:37.85 I'm about what...getting the message. 00:48:37.88\00:48:41.05 Danny, you used the word just a minute ago, 00:48:41.08\00:48:43.82 as we were starting the program. 00:48:43.85\00:48:45.62 It's been a few minutes ago. 00:48:45.65\00:48:47.56 You said, "We're living at the end of earth's history." 00:48:47.59\00:48:50.26 That's right. 00:48:50.29\00:48:53.33 I'm a student of prophecy, I'm not a prophet, 00:48:53.36\00:48:55.56 but I'm a student of prophecy, and prophecy tells me 00:48:55.60\00:48:59.70 that there is a time of trouble coming 00:48:59.73\00:49:01.87 such as never was in all history of earth 00:49:01.90\00:49:06.01 and it's coming 00:49:06.04\00:49:07.48 and when you see a nation who's abandoned god. 00:49:07.51\00:49:11.38 In other words, they've just thrown out 00:49:11.41\00:49:13.08 one of God's ordained institutions out the window. 00:49:13.11\00:49:16.79 A few years ago, they threw out something called... 00:49:16.82\00:49:21.92 "Thou shall not kill, thou shall not murder." 00:49:21.96\00:49:24.99 Wow. Okay. 00:49:25.03\00:49:26.59 And we did seen on the news recently harvesting body parts. 00:49:26.63\00:49:31.67 Well. Harvesting. 00:49:31.70\00:49:33.27 I mean that's like growing soybeans or corn. 00:49:33.30\00:49:36.71 No, but they're talking about little innocent human beings 00:49:36.74\00:49:40.88 in harvesting, destroying human life for a body part. 00:49:40.91\00:49:46.88 And that's allowed by the laws of the land. 00:49:46.92\00:49:50.82 When a nation starts doing stuff like that, 00:49:50.85\00:49:53.56 judgment follows. 00:49:53.59\00:49:55.52 And that's what's coming, 00:49:55.56\00:49:57.29 that's what's coming upon the world. 00:49:57.33\00:49:58.66 Right, and we've got to work while we can. 00:49:58.69\00:50:00.26 Yeah, that's right. That's what I believe. 00:50:00.30\00:50:02.36 Brian, that's great stuff, thank you. 00:50:02.40\00:50:03.97 And I just want to take about 30 seconds to talk to you from. 00:50:04.00\00:50:06.74 I'll calm down, but if you don't understand 00:50:06.77\00:50:10.11 why we're so excited about getting involved in evangelism, 00:50:10.14\00:50:13.34 if you don't have a burden for other people's souls, 00:50:13.38\00:50:17.71 I just want to encourage you to pray 00:50:17.75\00:50:20.12 because what it means is 00:50:20.15\00:50:22.42 you're not walking in to surrender 00:50:22.45\00:50:25.02 to God and his love, 00:50:25.05\00:50:26.65 because when we're walking and surrendering, 00:50:26.69\00:50:28.72 God fills us with His Holy Spirit 00:50:28.76\00:50:30.43 and His love. 00:50:30.46\00:50:31.79 It is the character of Christ, 00:50:31.83\00:50:34.06 it's the character of the Holy Spirit 00:50:34.10\00:50:36.00 for us to want to reach out 00:50:36.03\00:50:37.93 and snatch others from the flames. 00:50:37.97\00:50:40.34 And this is where we're at today 00:50:40.74\00:50:42.80 so you know this is something that I didn't realize how-- 00:50:42.84\00:50:47.14 Yes, I go out and preach and everything, 00:50:47.18\00:50:48.74 but on a day to day basis, I was ignoring some people 00:50:48.78\00:50:52.18 in my center of influence 00:50:52.21\00:50:55.28 and this has woken me up to say, 00:50:55.32\00:50:57.62 "Oh, Lord, God, I don't want to be responsible 00:50:57.65\00:51:00.69 for their blood on my hands," 00:51:00.72\00:51:02.86 because I've got an opportunity to share the good news. 00:51:02.89\00:51:06.93 You know the hour is late. I'll say this quickly too. 00:51:06.96\00:51:10.00 A good friend of mine, the church I grew up in, 00:51:10.03\00:51:12.20 they abandoned that church, they moved away. 00:51:12.23\00:51:14.07 And so I called the pastor, I said, 00:51:14.10\00:51:15.44 "How come you moved away from my church?" 00:51:15.47\00:51:16.81 He said, "Well, he said, the only reason 00:51:16.84\00:51:18.27 this church is still standing 00:51:18.31\00:51:19.87 is because the termites are holding hands." 00:51:19.91\00:51:21.94 Ah. 00:51:21.98\00:51:24.48 And Pastor Lomacang said something 00:51:24.51\00:51:26.25 that touched that in my mind, 00:51:26.28\00:51:27.82 the only reason this country is still standing 00:51:27.85\00:51:30.72 is because the termites are holding hands. 00:51:30.75\00:51:32.52 But the termites are there, 00:51:32.55\00:51:33.89 the seeds of disillusion are there, 00:51:33.92\00:51:36.29 and what is driving us is the fact 00:51:36.32\00:51:37.96 that we got to work while it is yet day. 00:51:37.99\00:51:41.76 I mean the night is coming when no man can work, 00:51:41.80\00:51:43.53 so we've got to work now and you've got to work now 00:51:43.57\00:51:46.03 because the time has come in 00:51:46.07\00:51:47.40 when you're not going to be able to work. 00:51:47.44\00:51:48.77 So this is an avenue. 00:51:48.80\00:51:50.14 This is an God ordained avenue 00:51:50.17\00:51:52.17 to fight back against the darkness 00:51:52.21\00:51:54.04 and that's why we're so excited 00:51:54.08\00:51:55.41 because we see where the move of god 00:51:55.44\00:51:57.55 is taking place and you want to get onboard a ship 00:51:57.58\00:52:01.12 that is going into harbor, 00:52:01.15\00:52:02.48 that is going to sail all the way through. 00:52:02.52\00:52:03.85 This is it. 00:52:03.89\00:52:05.22 This is your opportunity to do something great for God, 00:52:05.25\00:52:07.72 not just something mediocre, something average, 00:52:07.76\00:52:10.16 do something mighty. 00:52:10.19\00:52:11.53 A mighty move of God, you want to be a part of that. 00:52:11.56\00:52:13.93 You know the preaching of the gospel 00:52:13.96\00:52:15.46 is the only guarantee against the erosion 00:52:15.50\00:52:17.93 and the termite destruction of the church. 00:52:17.97\00:52:20.47 The lord says, "The gates of hell shall not prevail." 00:52:20.50\00:52:23.14 If you get busy preaching the Gospel, 00:52:23.17\00:52:25.11 the gates of hell, the termites of hell 00:52:25.14\00:52:27.78 will not erode this gospel. 00:52:27.81\00:52:29.44 The foundation is Jesus Christ, Amen. 00:52:29.48\00:52:32.45 Termites cannot eat away the foundation of Jesus Christ. 00:52:32.48\00:52:35.08 31 years ago, I look at it as an early rain, 00:52:35.38\00:52:39.19 when we were impressed to build a television station 00:52:39.22\00:52:41.49 to reach the world 00:52:41.52\00:52:42.92 and people began to give and support 00:52:42.96\00:52:46.19 and now after 31 years I sense the latter rain. 00:52:46.23\00:52:50.13 Hallelujah. Praise the lord. 00:52:50.17\00:52:51.50 And on this ministry, not only with us individually, 00:52:51.53\00:52:54.74 but within you as you're responding in the way you are 00:52:54.77\00:52:57.94 literally by the thousands that this is for real. 00:52:57.97\00:53:01.84 Judgment is falling. 00:53:01.88\00:53:03.31 We've talked about it for years, 00:53:03.35\00:53:05.25 and judgment is falling 00:53:05.28\00:53:07.42 and now God's people are going to stand up. 00:53:07.45\00:53:09.05 It's our time to rise and shine, John, 00:53:09.08\00:53:11.45 which you just gave us. 00:53:11.49\00:53:12.82 Now the latter rain because people are supporting. 00:53:12.85\00:53:16.06 We're actually becoming team members 00:53:16.09\00:53:18.26 to go out and take this gospel to the world. 00:53:18.29\00:53:21.10 Danny, well said, 00:53:21.13\00:53:22.46 and if what Ellen White is sayinghere is true. 00:53:22.50\00:53:24.70 She says, what we're doing now is ordained by god, 00:53:24.73\00:53:28.37 is put together by god 00:53:28.40\00:53:29.87 for the outpouring of the latter rain. 00:53:29.90\00:53:31.37 We're doing what God has said you have to do 00:53:31.41\00:53:33.61 in order to get the latter rain, 00:53:33.64\00:53:35.08 so the latter rain is coming 00:53:35.11\00:53:36.44 and we're doing what God has asked us to do 00:53:36.48\00:53:38.55 in order for that to come. 00:53:38.58\00:53:39.91 We're going to go to our news break, 00:53:39.95\00:53:41.28 then we'll come back and put a little bow on this, 00:53:41.32\00:53:42.72 some closing thoughts. 00:53:42.75\00:53:44.12 God bless you and we willbe right back. 00:53:44.15\00:53:45.59
