I want to spend my life
00:00:01.53\00:00:07.34
Mending broken people
00:00:07.37\00:00:12.27
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.31\00:00:18.61
Removing pain
00:00:18.65\00:00:23.52
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.55\00:00:29.76
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.79\00:00:34.36
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.40\00:00:40.10
Mending broken people
00:00:40.14\00:00:45.57
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.61\00:00:51.15
Mending broken people
00:00:51.18\00:00:55.22
Hello, and
welcome to 3ABN Today.
00:01:07.13\00:01:09.60
What a blessing
that you have chosen
00:01:09.63\00:01:11.63
to spend this
hour of study with us.
00:01:11.67\00:01:14.27
And today, Pastor Kenny,
00:01:14.30\00:01:15.67
we are gonna have
an exciting topic.
00:01:15.70\00:01:17.47
Oh, absolutely.
00:01:17.51\00:01:18.84
The topic is entitled
"The Storm is Coming."
00:01:18.87\00:01:21.51
Yes. "The Storm is Coming."
00:01:21.54\00:01:23.04
And we have some
wonderful guests with us today.
00:01:23.08\00:01:25.81
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:01:25.85\00:01:27.18
Of course, my
name is Chris Shelton
00:01:27.22\00:01:28.55
and I've got my
husband Pastor Kenny.
00:01:28.58\00:01:29.95
I'm out here. And
then Pastor CA Murray.
00:01:29.98\00:01:32.25
Yes. Thank you.
00:01:32.29\00:01:33.66
And Sister Shelley Quinn.
00:01:33.69\00:01:35.96
I know it seems little backwards
00:01:35.99\00:01:37.43
for them to be over there
and us over here, doesn't it?
00:01:37.46\00:01:39.76
We're in this thing together.
00:01:39.79\00:01:41.86
And, you know, really developing
00:01:41.90\00:01:44.17
and you mentioned several times,
00:01:44.20\00:01:45.60
you know, a
wonderful relationship,
00:01:45.63\00:01:47.27
you know, not only as
individually and privately
00:01:47.30\00:01:49.37
but, you know, spiritually
00:01:49.40\00:01:50.91
to be together in the same boat
00:01:50.94\00:01:52.91
fighting against the
enemy getting this message out.
00:01:52.94\00:01:56.14
It's quite a treat. Amen.
00:01:56.18\00:01:58.91
And so we appreciate
you folks and love you.
00:01:58.95\00:02:00.42
And we're just glad you're here
to help us in the study today.
00:02:00.45\00:02:03.99
We're glad you're
here as well. That's right.
00:02:04.02\00:02:05.35
We couldn't ask for
a better backup team.
00:02:05.39\00:02:07.46
Thank you, Honey. Yeah.
00:02:07.49\00:02:09.26
I think I will do, set
the stage and let them go.
00:02:09.29\00:02:11.39
Absolutely.
00:02:11.43\00:02:12.76
I think we just
said the very same thing
00:02:12.79\00:02:14.13
is that we're just
gonna let you set the stage
00:02:14.16\00:02:15.76
and take off with it.
00:02:15.80\00:02:17.13
Praise the Lord.
Amen. We shall see.
00:02:17.17\00:02:18.73
It's a real subject.
00:02:18.77\00:02:20.10
It's something we
really need to look at closely.
00:02:20.14\00:02:23.10
I think life and
death issue. Yes.
00:02:23.14\00:02:25.61
Lot of times, you know,
00:02:25.64\00:02:27.04
we see things
happening in the world,
00:02:27.08\00:02:29.38
this is no time for
God's people to be silent.
00:02:29.41\00:02:31.51
That's right. Amen.
00:02:31.55\00:02:32.88
We must lift our voice.
00:02:32.91\00:02:34.28
I do believe that
we will be accountable
00:02:34.32\00:02:36.22
if we do not lift our
voice to show Bible prophecy
00:02:36.25\00:02:39.92
that God has given
to this last day church
00:02:39.95\00:02:41.79
is just amazing.
00:02:41.82\00:02:43.16
So clear, so wonderful
00:02:43.19\00:02:45.26
and yet we are
challenged to get it out there.
00:02:45.29\00:02:47.46
That's right.
00:02:47.50\00:02:48.83
And we are told be careful,
don't hurt anyone's feelings.
00:02:48.86\00:02:51.63
This is not even the
issue as far as I'm concerned
00:02:51.67\00:02:54.20
is doing what
God had said to do,
00:02:54.24\00:02:56.57
what He has written in His word.
00:02:56.60\00:02:57.94
And so, we want
to bring that home
00:02:57.97\00:02:59.47
to those of you
who are viewing today.
00:02:59.51\00:03:01.54
So I'm looking forward to
this discussion and thoughts
00:03:01.58\00:03:04.48
that the Holy Spirit is
going to give each and everyone.
00:03:04.51\00:03:07.12
Well, "The Storm is Coming"
00:03:07.15\00:03:08.52
but first we're gonna
be blessed with a song
00:03:08.55\00:03:10.95
and I believe Sandra Entermann
is going to sing this song
00:03:10.99\00:03:13.92
and she is going to
be backed up on the piano
00:03:13.96\00:03:15.72
by Sanja Kitevski I believe.
00:03:15.82\00:03:19.13
Kitevski. Very good.
00:03:19.16\00:03:20.50
Thank you. "You Gave Me Love."
00:03:20.53\00:03:22.76
Amen.
00:03:22.80\00:03:24.13
You gave me time
00:03:37.15\00:03:39.51
When no one gave me time of day
00:03:39.55\00:03:44.62
You looked deep inside
00:03:48.92\00:03:51.83
While the rest of
the world looked away
00:03:51.86\00:03:57.00
You smiled at me
00:04:01.20\00:04:04.07
When there were
just frowns everywhere
00:04:04.11\00:04:09.04
You gave me love
00:04:13.52\00:04:16.25
When nobody gave me a prayer
00:04:16.28\00:04:21.92
And that's why I call You Savior
00:04:25.46\00:04:31.93
That's why I call You Friend
00:04:31.97\00:04:37.77
You touched my heart
00:04:37.81\00:04:40.78
You touched my soul
00:04:40.81\00:04:43.71
And helped me
start all over again
00:04:43.75\00:04:49.75
And that's why I love You, Jesus
00:04:49.78\00:04:55.99
That's why I'll always care
00:04:56.02\00:05:02.56
You gave me love
00:05:02.60\00:05:05.23
When nobody gave me a prayer
00:05:05.27\00:05:11.27
You gave me laughter
00:05:14.81\00:05:18.01
After I cried all my tears
00:05:18.05\00:05:23.59
You heard my dreams
00:05:26.86\00:05:29.52
While the rest of
the world closed its ears
00:05:29.56\00:05:35.23
I looked in Your eyes,
00:05:38.57\00:05:41.57
And I found
such tenderness there
00:05:41.60\00:05:47.21
You gave me love
00:05:50.68\00:05:53.15
When nobody gave me a prayer
00:05:53.18\00:06:00.09
And that's why I call You Savior
00:06:02.16\00:06:08.33
That's why I call You Friend
00:06:08.36\00:06:14.10
'Cause You touched my heart
00:06:14.14\00:06:17.34
You touched my soul
00:06:17.37\00:06:19.94
And helped me
start all over again
00:06:19.97\00:06:25.88
And that's why I love You, Jesus
00:06:25.91\00:06:32.05
That's why I'll always care
00:06:32.09\00:06:38.16
You gave me love
00:06:38.19\00:06:40.93
When nobody gave me
00:06:40.96\00:06:44.10
A prayer
00:06:44.13\00:06:49.77
And that's why I call You Savior
00:06:49.80\00:06:56.01
That's why I call You Friend
00:06:56.04\00:07:01.92
You touched my heart
00:07:01.95\00:07:04.75
You touched my soul
00:07:04.79\00:07:07.76
And helped me
start all over again
00:07:07.79\00:07:13.70
That's why I love You, Jesus
00:07:13.73\00:07:19.60
That's why I'll always care
00:07:19.63\00:07:24.31
You gave me love
00:07:26.81\00:07:29.58
When nobody gave me a prayer.
00:07:29.61\00:07:35.08
Hello, and welcome back.
00:07:47.30\00:07:48.70
What a beautiful
song, "You Gave Me Love."
00:07:48.73\00:07:51.87
Thank you, Sandra. Amen.
00:07:51.90\00:07:53.60
Now back to our study today
which is "The Storm is Coming."
00:07:53.64\00:07:57.31
Yes.
00:07:57.34\00:07:58.67
You know, folks, all of us here
we live in Southern Illinois
00:07:58.71\00:08:01.44
and I can guarantee you storms
are not what they used to be.
00:08:01.48\00:08:04.85
Right.
00:08:04.88\00:08:06.21
When a storm is coming,
we used to not worry about it
00:08:06.25\00:08:08.72
but now you've got
all these damaging winds,
00:08:08.75\00:08:11.49
straight-line winds.
00:08:11.52\00:08:12.85
I used to be so
thankful as a child,
00:08:12.89\00:08:14.39
we did not live in Tornado Alley
00:08:14.42\00:08:16.73
and I truly believe that
00:08:16.76\00:08:18.23
Southern Illinois
has become Tornado Alley.
00:08:18.26\00:08:20.96
Yeah, the alley has shifted.
00:08:21.00\00:08:22.33
You never know and think
about all of the storm shelters
00:08:22.36\00:08:25.90
that they are, you know,
00:08:25.93\00:08:27.67
installing in
different homes now.
00:08:27.70\00:08:29.24
We never heard
of a storm shelter
00:08:29.27\00:08:30.81
when we were growing
up, we never needed one.
00:08:30.84\00:08:33.27
You know, the
cities and the towns
00:08:33.31\00:08:34.91
what are they doing?
00:08:34.94\00:08:36.28
They are always
looking for ways to improve
00:08:36.31\00:08:38.48
their warning
system and why is that?
00:08:38.51\00:08:41.32
Yeah. It's for
the saving of souls.
00:08:41.35\00:08:43.89
You know, you talked about
a storm shelter interesting
00:08:43.92\00:08:46.65
and several
years ago built a home,
00:08:46.69\00:08:49.66
we call it spec
home and we put in
00:08:49.69\00:08:52.46
and we found out
that storm shelter
00:08:52.49\00:08:54.40
and thought, you know,
storm shelter would be nice
00:08:54.43\00:08:56.53
if it were square,
00:08:56.56\00:08:57.90
you could open or close
a door inside your house,
00:08:57.93\00:09:00.00
raise up a door and go in
it which was about a six person
00:09:00.04\00:09:05.24
at least six you get in there.
00:09:05.27\00:09:06.61
So we put on in
there and so and so forth
00:09:06.64\00:09:08.31
and then the
straight-line storm came.
00:09:08.34\00:09:10.85
It was an Inland Hurricane.
00:09:10.88\00:09:12.21
The Inland Hurricane
that came several years ago
00:09:12.25\00:09:14.02
and this thing, she runs,
00:09:14.05\00:09:15.88
we happen to be there
finishing up the house.
00:09:15.92\00:09:17.75
She runs down in
there and closes the door
00:09:17.79\00:09:19.55
and I won't get in it.
00:09:19.59\00:09:20.92
He wouldn't get in it.
00:09:20.96\00:09:22.76
The shelter was
there, there was trees.
00:09:22.79\00:09:24.79
Seriously this
bigger around. All around.
00:09:24.83\00:09:26.66
Around us that snapped came
00:09:26.70\00:09:28.86
and just the
leaves hit the house.
00:09:28.90\00:09:31.03
God was
protecting the house. Yes.
00:09:31.07\00:09:33.44
I'm standing where
I'm not supposed to
00:09:33.47\00:09:35.40
in front of the
big picture window
00:09:35.44\00:09:37.14
looking out and she is
saying "Get in the shelter.
00:09:37.17\00:09:38.94
Get in the shelter."
00:09:38.97\00:09:40.31
I don't want to get
in that little old thing.
00:09:40.34\00:09:41.68
I don't want to get
in that little old thing.
00:09:41.71\00:09:43.04
I can't see out, I
didn't want to get in.
00:09:43.08\00:09:44.81
But only by the grace
of God we could still hear
00:09:44.85\00:09:47.52
but sometime we, the
storm are coming we know it.
00:09:47.55\00:09:50.62
There is a shelter we know it
00:09:50.65\00:09:53.19
and then we will not participate
00:09:53.22\00:09:55.12
or get in or take, you know,
I could have gotten in there
00:09:55.16\00:09:58.59
and maybe felt protected.
00:09:58.63\00:10:00.30
Sure, I was
doing a lot of praying.
00:10:00.33\00:10:01.66
We prayed on our
knee, "Oh, God, help us."
00:10:01.70\00:10:03.67
But He might have said,
"Get into the shelter, Kenny."
00:10:03.70\00:10:05.70
Isn't it interesting
how many life stories
00:10:05.73\00:10:07.64
you can take just from that
00:10:07.67\00:10:09.00
as you are talking
things are popping in my brain.
00:10:09.04\00:10:10.37
Come on.
00:10:10.41\00:10:11.74
I'm praying, I'm not doing
what I'm supposed to be doing
00:10:11.77\00:10:13.21
but I'm praying.
00:10:13.24\00:10:14.58
You know, it's like "Lord,
I'm not gonna follow this.
00:10:14.61\00:10:17.91
Lord, I'm gonna pray.
00:10:17.95\00:10:19.55
I'm gonna pray but I'm not,
00:10:19.58\00:10:21.92
if I see
something that I don't like,
00:10:21.95\00:10:23.75
I don't really intend
to do this but I'm praying.
00:10:23.79\00:10:27.46
You know, I'm praying
00:10:27.49\00:10:28.82
but I'm not gonna do
what I'm supposed to do.
00:10:28.86\00:10:30.19
So there are so
many lessons in life.
00:10:30.23\00:10:32.26
So when you talk
about a storm is coming,
00:10:32.29\00:10:35.00
there is a clear and
present danger we can see it.
00:10:35.03\00:10:37.47
We can see it in
the spiritual world,
00:10:37.50\00:10:39.63
the physical world,
the political world.
00:10:39.67\00:10:42.00
In all of these
worlds we can see
00:10:42.04\00:10:44.21
that something is happening.
00:10:44.24\00:10:45.57
It's like the Bible
says "The earth is groaning
00:10:45.61\00:10:47.18
and moaning because
things are happening."
00:10:47.21\00:10:49.64
We can see that
something big ought to happen
00:10:49.68\00:10:53.18
and we just got to
be prepared for it.
00:10:53.21\00:10:54.62
Amen.
00:10:54.65\00:10:55.98
Hopefully in just a bit we
will talk a little bit more
00:10:56.02\00:10:57.35
about what the
Bible says will happen.
00:10:57.39\00:10:59.45
And when you
hear the phrase 9/11
00:10:59.49\00:11:02.02
what comes to
your thoughts, 9/11?
00:11:02.06\00:11:05.73
Of course, you
think about the attack
00:11:05.76\00:11:07.60
on the World Trade Center.
00:11:07.63\00:11:09.00
And you think about
00:11:09.03\00:11:11.33
how the world has changed since.
00:11:11.37\00:11:13.87
How many freedoms we
were willing to give up
00:11:13.90\00:11:18.67
when we felt threatened
00:11:18.71\00:11:21.41
and we know this is
going to happen again
00:11:21.44\00:11:23.48
at the end of time
where we are giving up,
00:11:23.51\00:11:26.78
we will be giving up
more of our freedoms,
00:11:26.82\00:11:28.85
more of our religious
freedoms when we feel like
00:11:28.88\00:11:32.02
we are gonna have
security through government.
00:11:32.05\00:11:35.09
And I think that's
part of prophecy as well.
00:11:35.12\00:11:36.93
It is indeed.
00:11:36.96\00:11:38.29
And hopefully we will
touch on that a little bit too.
00:11:38.33\00:11:41.33
But just think, had
there been a warning system,
00:11:41.36\00:11:45.90
had they been warned
all the thousands of people
00:11:45.93\00:11:48.70
working in and
around those buildings
00:11:48.74\00:11:50.54
just how different the
loss of life would have been
00:11:50.57\00:11:54.48
if they had been warned.
00:11:54.51\00:11:55.94
But we still have
to listen, you know,
00:11:55.98\00:11:59.55
and with kind of
echoed a little bit and--
00:11:59.58\00:12:01.62
And get into the storm shelter.
00:12:01.65\00:12:02.98
Thank you, Honey. Yes.
00:12:03.02\00:12:04.35
That's right.
00:12:04.39\00:12:06.09
There may have been a
little bit of a warning
00:12:06.12\00:12:09.12
but wasn't substantiated
enough that caused people to
00:12:09.16\00:12:12.49
maybe want to
miss work for that time
00:12:12.53\00:12:13.93
that was kind of rumored
00:12:13.96\00:12:15.30
that something
could happen, might happen
00:12:15.33\00:12:17.90
but they didn't
respond and look what happened.
00:12:17.93\00:12:20.14
But they didn't want to believe.
00:12:20.17\00:12:21.50
They didn't want
to believe it. Right.
00:12:21.54\00:12:22.87
And today we are going
through with own Bible prophecy
00:12:22.90\00:12:25.17
what's fulfill for
our very eyes right now.
00:12:25.21\00:12:27.54
And when you say 9/11
00:12:27.58\00:12:29.48
that's what you do
when you have an emergency.
00:12:29.51\00:12:31.85
You know, you pick up
the phone, what do you dial?
00:12:31.88\00:12:33.31
911 because you need
help, things are out of control
00:12:33.35\00:12:37.42
and I believe this
world is out of control.
00:12:37.45\00:12:39.65
And isn't it interesting
we talk about the parallels.
00:12:39.69\00:12:42.22
There were those who
heard that the chatter,
00:12:42.26\00:12:45.86
they call it
Shelley, you know, who knew
00:12:45.89\00:12:48.33
but who obviously
didn't give the warning.
00:12:48.36\00:12:50.57
They didn't
communicate with other agencies
00:12:50.60\00:12:52.90
and that's why a
program like this exist
00:12:52.93\00:12:55.67
because if you
know, you got to tell.
00:12:55.70\00:12:58.21
That's good. Amen.
00:12:58.24\00:12:59.57
You got to warn. You
got to lift up your voice.
00:12:59.61\00:13:01.14
The Bible says if
he goes down in sin
00:13:01.18\00:13:04.38
and you don't tell him his blood
00:13:04.41\00:13:06.21
I will require at your hand.
00:13:06.25\00:13:08.08
Praise God.
00:13:08.12\00:13:09.45
So what we are doing is
00:13:09.48\00:13:10.82
there is a bit of a
selfishness to this.
00:13:10.85\00:13:12.39
What we are doing is freeing
ourselves from perdition.
00:13:12.42\00:13:14.36
You know, you got to tell
00:13:14.39\00:13:15.72
as it's bad enough
dealing with my own sins,
00:13:15.76\00:13:17.36
I don't want to be
responsible for yours.
00:13:17.39\00:13:18.73
That's right.
00:13:18.76\00:13:20.10
If I tell you Christ is
coming and you need to get right
00:13:20.13\00:13:22.30
I've done my job.
00:13:22.33\00:13:23.67
Now, it's on you to get right.
00:13:23.70\00:13:25.37
But I've got to tell,
I've got to lift up my voice
00:13:25.40\00:13:27.40
like a trumpet and
give the trumpet full sound.
00:13:27.44\00:13:29.54
And the Bible talks about
we don't want to be careful
00:13:29.57\00:13:32.04
with this one.
00:13:32.07\00:13:33.41
We don't want to be
like a dumb dog not barking.
00:13:33.44\00:13:35.81
That's right.
00:13:35.84\00:13:37.18
You think about,
you got a watchdog
00:13:37.21\00:13:38.55
and that watchdog will not bark,
00:13:38.58\00:13:40.12
he is not much of a watchdog.
00:13:40.15\00:13:41.72
Eating your food.
00:13:41.75\00:13:43.08
Almost as useless, I
had to be careful with that.
00:13:43.12\00:13:44.75
But if that's what
he is supposed to be.
00:13:44.79\00:13:47.56
If he came to me, he
was trained to be a watchdog
00:13:47.59\00:13:50.83
and let you know of the danger
00:13:50.86\00:13:52.49
and he is not doing his job,
00:13:52.53\00:13:54.13
it's not any good to me.
00:13:54.16\00:13:55.50
Amen. Correct.
00:13:55.53\00:13:56.87
So we live in that time
00:13:56.90\00:13:58.23
when lot of things are
happening in the world.
00:13:58.27\00:13:59.60
That's right. And
the love of souls.
00:13:59.63\00:14:01.20
Oh, mercy.
00:14:01.24\00:14:02.57
The love of soul,
you mention being selfish
00:14:02.60\00:14:03.94
but I think about those
00:14:03.97\00:14:05.51
who are outside of
that arch of safety
00:14:05.54\00:14:08.74
and who, say you
were saved in the city
00:14:08.78\00:14:11.95
and you are looking out,
00:14:11.98\00:14:13.31
who would you
want to see out there?
00:14:13.35\00:14:15.58
No one.
00:14:15.62\00:14:16.95
Absolutely no one.
00:14:16.99\00:14:18.32
We are told in
Spirit of Prophecy
00:14:18.35\00:14:20.56
that there will come a
time that many of us may think,
00:14:20.59\00:14:23.26
you know, "I wish I
had not said what I said."
00:14:23.29\00:14:26.19
Yes.
00:14:26.23\00:14:27.56
But right now the
Holy Spirit compels us
00:14:27.60\00:14:30.37
as we study Revelation
00:14:30.40\00:14:32.37
and look at how many
churches put the book aside.
00:14:32.40\00:14:34.97
They don't want to address it.
00:14:35.00\00:14:37.24
Whether they don't understand
00:14:37.27\00:14:38.74
or they just don't
want to bring about
00:14:38.77\00:14:42.01
the thoughts that
a storm is coming,
00:14:42.04\00:14:44.98
that there is a beast power
00:14:45.01\00:14:46.45
that the world
is wondering after.
00:14:46.48\00:14:48.28
And as you begin to
read through Revelation 13
00:14:48.32\00:14:51.29
and on through 18
00:14:51.32\00:14:52.65
there are so
many identifying marks
00:14:52.69\00:14:54.49
that we see
actually taking place
00:14:54.52\00:14:57.59
in our world today.
00:14:57.63\00:14:59.36
But when you read the word
like in Daniel 12:1, you know,
00:14:59.39\00:15:04.27
at time of trouble
that which is not known,
00:15:04.30\00:15:06.97
you've never been on that.
00:15:07.00\00:15:08.34
It seem like we
have read it for years
00:15:08.37\00:15:10.54
but it's just not soaking in.
00:15:10.57\00:15:12.87
I wanted to soak in.
00:15:12.91\00:15:14.24
I wanted to be real
00:15:14.28\00:15:15.61
and when people
sometime they will say,
00:15:15.64\00:15:16.98
"Well, you seem to be in
a little too much urgency
00:15:17.01\00:15:19.65
and little too bit excited.
00:15:19.68\00:15:21.82
You need to calm down."
00:15:21.85\00:15:23.18
And I said, "You know,
souls are at stake here
00:15:23.22\00:15:25.95
and it's part of my make up.
00:15:25.99\00:15:28.82
It may not be
someone else's to reclaim it,
00:15:28.86\00:15:32.03
to sound the warning.
00:15:32.06\00:15:33.43
As you talk about so the
blood is not on our hand.
00:15:33.46\00:15:36.03
I want to read this paragraph
here and get your comments on
00:15:36.06\00:15:39.00
what we are headed for here
00:15:39.03\00:15:40.90
in this Review
and Herald article
00:15:40.94\00:15:42.70
January 1st, 1889.
00:15:42.74\00:15:45.11
It says "Let not
the commandment-keeping
00:15:45.14\00:15:47.14
people of God be
silent at this time..."
00:15:47.18\00:15:49.68
Notice, "As though we gracefully
00:15:49.71\00:15:52.48
accepted the situation.
00:15:52.51\00:15:54.58
There is a prospect before
us, of waging a continuous war,
00:15:54.62\00:15:59.75
at the risk of
imprisonment, of losing property
00:15:59.79\00:16:03.22
and even life itself,
to defend the law of God,
00:16:03.26\00:16:07.66
which is being made
void by the laws of men."
00:16:07.70\00:16:10.53
Isn't this where we are at?
00:16:10.57\00:16:12.47
What do you think
when you, a continuous war.
00:16:12.50\00:16:15.77
What is it talking about?
00:16:15.80\00:16:17.14
It's talking
about continuous war.
00:16:17.17\00:16:18.51
What kind of a war?
00:16:18.54\00:16:19.87
Oh, I think it's lovers of self.
00:16:19.91\00:16:21.24
Yeah. Okay.
00:16:21.28\00:16:22.61
I think that's
part of, you know,
00:16:22.64\00:16:24.01
the great
controversy can only exist
00:16:24.05\00:16:28.92
because people have not given
their hearts fully to Christ.
00:16:28.95\00:16:33.92
Yes.
00:16:33.96\00:16:35.29
If we had, if
everyone on planet earth
00:16:35.32\00:16:37.83
fully gave their
heart to the Lord
00:16:37.86\00:16:39.89
and were not
lovers of themselves
00:16:39.93\00:16:42.10
then there would be no,
00:16:42.13\00:16:44.03
there would be no room
for the great controversy.
00:16:44.07\00:16:46.10
I mean, Satan would
already be if he were ostracized
00:16:46.13\00:16:50.81
from our midst.
00:16:50.84\00:16:52.51
But this war,
00:16:52.54\00:16:54.54
this great
controversy that keeps going on,
00:16:54.58\00:16:57.28
it has to do with people,
it's Proverbs to 2 Timothy
00:16:57.31\00:17:02.32
that people will be boasters
00:17:02.35\00:17:05.69
and deceitful
and lovers of self,
00:17:05.72\00:17:08.26
lovers of money,
lovers of material things
00:17:08.29\00:17:11.39
and until we overcome that,
00:17:11.43\00:17:14.93
and there is only
one way to overcome it.
00:17:14.96\00:17:16.63
Mercy.
00:17:16.67\00:17:18.00
And we are living in
a time, Sister Shelley.
00:17:18.03\00:17:19.43
I know you've heard the phrase
have your cake and eat it too.
00:17:19.47\00:17:22.54
People feel that they
can do all of these things,
00:17:22.57\00:17:25.54
being lovers of themselves,
living whatever lifestyle
00:17:25.57\00:17:29.21
they choose to live
00:17:29.24\00:17:30.85
and yet be in a saving
relationship with Jesus.
00:17:30.88\00:17:33.55
Yes. Yes.
00:17:33.58\00:17:34.92
You see this great
controversy is over the fact
00:17:34.95\00:17:38.95
that we have broken God's
law and He is calling us back,
00:17:38.99\00:17:42.62
His law is His character.
00:17:42.66\00:17:44.66
He is calling us back
to reflect that character
00:17:44.69\00:17:47.93
and we cannot, we
cannot be so complacent,
00:17:47.96\00:17:51.57
so asleep as the
Bible says we are.
00:17:51.60\00:17:54.27
We have to wake up and
realize who and what God is
00:17:54.30\00:17:58.54
and how important His law is.
00:17:58.57\00:18:01.04
I was just talking
to a dear friend of mine
00:18:01.08\00:18:03.08
yesterday and she was
sharing, bless her heart,
00:18:03.11\00:18:06.31
without saying
anything who she is.
00:18:06.35\00:18:08.28
Her husband left her
00:18:08.32\00:18:09.65
because he chose
another lifestyle.
00:18:09.68\00:18:12.29
And now that he is
in another lifestyle,
00:18:12.32\00:18:14.26
in different
type of relationship,
00:18:14.29\00:18:16.36
He and His friend
are praying and saying,
00:18:16.39\00:18:21.16
"We're gonna pray for you
and speaking all these things."
00:18:21.20\00:18:24.80
And that's why people
00:18:24.83\00:18:26.17
because they
don't want to line up
00:18:26.20\00:18:27.67
with the Word of God now.
00:18:27.70\00:18:29.57
We see and you and I've
talked about this before,
00:18:29.60\00:18:31.84
Sister Shelley.
00:18:31.87\00:18:33.21
They are changing God's
word or they're throwing it out.
00:18:33.24\00:18:36.88
That we are picking and choosing
00:18:36.91\00:18:38.91
and yet what is the express way
00:18:38.95\00:18:40.88
that God speaks
to us, His children.
00:18:40.92\00:18:43.99
It is through the word.
00:18:44.02\00:18:45.99
And I have a lot of
electronic word here
00:18:46.02\00:18:49.02
that you've got
your Bibles with you.
00:18:49.06\00:18:50.96
It's through the
word that God speaks to us
00:18:50.99\00:18:53.80
so who are we
to pick and choose.
00:18:53.83\00:18:57.13
Who are we to say that these
things are not gonna happen?
00:18:57.17\00:19:00.20
God says they are gonna
happen, they are happening,
00:19:00.24\00:19:03.20
people are
wandering after beast.
00:19:03.24\00:19:05.37
We do see a time. We
see the earth is upset.
00:19:05.41\00:19:09.48
You know, it says,
if our bows are just,
00:19:09.51\00:19:11.28
they're breaking loose,
you got tsunamis happening.
00:19:11.31\00:19:13.88
You know, I grew up I never
even heard the word tsunami.
00:19:13.92\00:19:17.19
Think about it. Yeah.
00:19:17.22\00:19:18.55
I'm not that young any more.
00:19:18.59\00:19:20.46
Quite a few years.
00:19:20.49\00:19:21.82
Yeah, be careful now.
00:19:21.86\00:19:23.19
But you've got all
these terrible disasters
00:19:23.22\00:19:25.26
that are taking place.
00:19:25.29\00:19:26.90
Earthquakes and we are told
00:19:26.93\00:19:29.16
it's going to
get worse and worse.
00:19:29.20\00:19:31.53
The good thing, the
good thing with this
00:19:31.57\00:19:33.77
and you can comment on
this is God is still in control.
00:19:33.80\00:19:37.47
You know, we are
facing the election,
00:19:37.51\00:19:39.14
all the stuff is going
on and people worry about
00:19:39.17\00:19:41.24
who is gonna be, but
God is still in control.
00:19:41.28\00:19:43.91
He's prophesied what will
take place, He spoke prophecy.
00:19:43.95\00:19:47.58
He will make sure
it's fulfilled exactly
00:19:47.62\00:19:50.02
to what He said.
00:19:50.05\00:19:51.42
I believe that God
right now is moving.
00:19:51.45\00:19:54.09
He is in situations
where good men, men and women,
00:19:54.12\00:19:59.26
people in high positions
are having an opportunity
00:19:59.29\00:20:02.80
to know what truth is.
00:20:02.83\00:20:04.93
So through all the things
that's going on, land, sea, air
00:20:04.97\00:20:07.80
all the commotion,
everything is happening,
00:20:07.84\00:20:09.90
God's true people will surface.
00:20:09.94\00:20:13.51
They are gonna surface
00:20:13.54\00:20:14.88
and what a time
to surface right now.
00:20:14.91\00:20:16.24
Do you see that,
Pastor CA? Absolutely I do.
00:20:16.28\00:20:18.15
And you picked
00:20:18.18\00:20:19.95
a very weighty section
of the Bible to deal with.
00:20:19.98\00:20:22.48
You start at
Revelation 13, 14, 15 to 18
00:20:22.52\00:20:25.12
that's heavy duty stuff.
00:20:25.15\00:20:26.49
So we got to
assume a lot of things
00:20:26.52\00:20:27.86
and we pick up and
now to say some prophecy,
00:20:27.89\00:20:29.62
the Bible says,
00:20:29.66\00:20:31.96
it looks like a lamb,
it speaks like a dragon.
00:20:31.99\00:20:33.56
Yes.
00:20:33.60\00:20:34.93
In 1962 we took,
that's over 50 years ago,
00:20:34.96\00:20:38.27
we took prayer
out of public schools.
00:20:38.30\00:20:40.00
In 2010, '11,'12 and '13,
00:20:40.04\00:20:43.30
we wrenched the commandments
out of public buildings.
00:20:43.34\00:20:46.21
So we've said to God,
You are on the back shelf.
00:20:46.24\00:20:49.74
You are not, you
are not officially
00:20:49.78\00:20:51.61
as far as we are concerned,
00:20:51.65\00:20:53.55
You take a
backseat, we can handle this,
00:20:53.58\00:20:55.88
and we see now
we can't handle it.
00:20:55.92\00:20:58.52
You're never gonna
be able to handle it.
00:20:58.55\00:21:00.12
And we push God
00:21:00.16\00:21:02.86
and what we
brought in His place?
00:21:02.89\00:21:04.23
Guns, violence, drugs,
mass shootings, mass murders,
00:21:04.26\00:21:08.60
kids walking in
with assault rifles
00:21:08.63\00:21:11.23
and just mowing
down thousands, you know,
00:21:11.27\00:21:13.90
if you added the
aggregate of people.
00:21:13.94\00:21:16.60
So we said God, "We
don't need You, we got this.
00:21:16.64\00:21:19.24
Well, we don't have this."
00:21:19.27\00:21:20.61
So now we realize we need God,
00:21:20.64\00:21:22.78
but again we're
in the living room
00:21:22.81\00:21:27.08
looking out the window,
00:21:27.12\00:21:28.45
we won't get in a
shelter and we are praying.
00:21:28.48\00:21:30.05
Yes.
00:21:30.09\00:21:31.42
You know, you're praying
00:21:31.45\00:21:32.79
but "To him that turneth away
00:21:32.82\00:21:35.42
his ear from hearing the law..."
00:21:35.46\00:21:36.79
Proverbs 28:9 "Even his
prayer is an abomination."
00:21:36.83\00:21:40.20
What are you praying for,
00:21:40.23\00:21:41.56
if you don't intend on doing
what I'm telling you to do.
00:21:41.60\00:21:43.40
Good. That's right.
00:21:43.43\00:21:44.77
You're not opening the Bible.
00:21:44.80\00:21:46.13
What are you
asking me to do for you
00:21:46.17\00:21:47.50
when you are not
intending to do anything for me.
00:21:47.54\00:21:49.84
So it's not that God
does not want to help
00:21:49.87\00:21:52.01
but you kind of tie
His hands a little bit
00:21:52.04\00:21:53.91
when you don't want to
listen to what He has to say.
00:21:53.94\00:21:55.94
You got a child, the
child, you have two children.
00:21:55.98\00:21:58.98
One child obeys you, one
child anything you say they do.
00:21:59.01\00:22:02.05
They want to be, they want love.
00:22:02.08\00:22:03.42
The other child
have no time for you.
00:22:03.45\00:22:05.09
Now, it's not you
don't love the other child
00:22:05.12\00:22:06.99
but you can't do as much
for that disobedient child
00:22:07.02\00:22:10.63
as you can for
that obedient child.
00:22:10.66\00:22:12.06
You just can't.
00:22:12.09\00:22:13.43
You want to do for both
00:22:13.46\00:22:14.80
but if they are
not gonna listen,
00:22:14.83\00:22:16.16
it makes it kind of tough.
00:22:16.20\00:22:17.53
So God is pleading,
00:22:17.57\00:22:19.93
He is pulling these
pandemics with Zika.
00:22:19.97\00:22:23.84
Never heard of
Zika. Zika, what Zika?
00:22:23.87\00:22:26.34
A mosquito has been
around forever, all of a sudden,
00:22:26.37\00:22:29.11
you know, Ebola and
things are coming that
00:22:29.14\00:22:32.55
we've never seen them before,
we never heard them before,
00:22:32.58\00:22:35.32
we don't know how to handle them
00:22:35.35\00:22:36.69
and they are
just coming one upon.
00:22:36.72\00:22:38.05
It's God saying...
00:22:38.09\00:22:39.42
Wake up. Wake up.
00:22:39.45\00:22:40.79
Yes. Yes.
00:22:40.82\00:22:42.16
Wake up.
00:22:42.19\00:22:43.53
And listen, I'm sure I
don't want to hurt you.
00:22:43.56\00:22:45.56
My thoughts towards you
are for good, not for evil.
00:22:45.59\00:22:50.23
But if you're not
listening, it's kind of tough
00:22:50.27\00:22:53.70
when you don't want to
hear what I have to say.
00:22:53.74\00:22:55.07
Yeah.
00:22:55.10\00:22:56.44
And to speak, I
think everybody said this
00:22:56.47\00:22:57.91
and I just want
to add this comment.
00:22:57.94\00:22:59.84
You were talking about
how people who are, you know,
00:22:59.87\00:23:04.38
had become, they are
doing anything they want,
00:23:04.41\00:23:07.28
yet they feel
like they are saved.
00:23:07.32\00:23:09.58
You mentioned that people are
in position to learn the truth,
00:23:09.62\00:23:12.49
people with power.
00:23:12.52\00:23:13.86
And we've talked about,
we've got to blow the trumpet
00:23:13.89\00:23:16.79
and give it a
certain sound called warning.
00:23:16.83\00:23:19.13
Here's what's
going on with the people
00:23:19.16\00:23:21.73
who feel that they are safe,
00:23:21.76\00:23:23.33
they have been deceived.
00:23:23.37\00:23:25.03
There's people who
have taken the scripture
00:23:25.07\00:23:27.37
as Peter says that they
have twisted the scripture
00:23:27.40\00:23:31.04
to their own destruction.
00:23:31.07\00:23:32.84
And so when people just simply
pull out a verse here and there
00:23:32.87\00:23:38.08
and it isn't line upon
line from Genesis to Revelation,
00:23:38.11\00:23:42.12
when they are deceived,
they become really complacent.
00:23:42.15\00:23:46.99
You know, you
can learn something
00:23:47.02\00:23:49.69
and feel like we know,
00:23:49.72\00:23:51.46
I mean, and I'm gonna say
this as an absolute truth.
00:23:51.49\00:23:54.16
We absolutely, positively
00:23:54.20\00:23:55.86
nowhere saved by
grace through faith,
00:23:55.90\00:23:58.17
but and we are not denying now.
00:23:58.20\00:24:01.10
What we are wanting
to let people know is
00:24:01.14\00:24:04.11
here you was talking
about the children of obedience
00:24:04.14\00:24:07.38
or the sons of disobedience.
00:24:07.41\00:24:08.74
Yes. Yes.
00:24:08.78\00:24:10.11
Only by grace can we
even obey God's commandment.
00:24:10.15\00:24:13.38
Well said.
00:24:13.42\00:24:14.75
It says, He works in
us to will and to do.
00:24:14.78\00:24:16.12
Yes.
00:24:16.15\00:24:17.49
But all of this comes
into play with the last days
00:24:17.52\00:24:20.39
because this is, we're
seeing the deterioration
00:24:20.42\00:24:24.89
as people have been deceived
either through their churches,
00:24:24.93\00:24:29.80
through the
government, through, you know,
00:24:29.83\00:24:32.13
we have these groups
that are pushing their agenda
00:24:32.17\00:24:37.51
and these packs of
things, they push their agenda.
00:24:37.54\00:24:41.48
And then for
example if you want to say,
00:24:41.51\00:24:45.81
"How is that there is
such a small portion of people
00:24:45.85\00:24:50.85
who are actually
gay, lesbian or..."
00:24:50.89\00:24:57.06
Transgender.
"Transgender, bisexual."
00:24:57.09\00:25:00.93
There is a small
percentage of people,
00:25:00.96\00:25:04.37
yet they've had such a
strong political committee.
00:25:04.40\00:25:11.21
Look what has
changed in out to the point.
00:25:11.24\00:25:14.94
We were speaking
before this program
00:25:14.98\00:25:17.71
to the point that
their agenda has been
00:25:17.75\00:25:20.48
fast forwarded, they
are on the forefront,
00:25:20.52\00:25:23.05
and now if you
speak Bible truths,
00:25:23.08\00:25:26.29
you are considered
speaking hate speech.
00:25:26.32\00:25:30.13
You know, if we say,
00:25:30.16\00:25:32.16
someone out here is
gonna look at me and think
00:25:32.19\00:25:34.53
I'm gonna say it but
God loves homosexuals.
00:25:34.56\00:25:39.43
Yes, He does. We
love homosexuals.
00:25:39.47\00:25:42.04
God's word says,
"He hates the behavior."
00:25:42.07\00:25:45.71
We are not saying that they
are worse sinners than we are.
00:25:45.74\00:25:48.08
We are all sinners.
00:25:48.11\00:25:49.44
We all fall short
of the grace of God,
00:25:49.48\00:25:51.71
and the glory of God.
00:25:51.75\00:25:53.15
But He gives us redemption.
00:25:53.18\00:25:55.88
So if our sin was, I mean,
there's people in the church
00:25:55.92\00:26:00.86
who were actively
sexual before marriage
00:26:00.89\00:26:04.43
that they may
have been sex addicts,
00:26:04.46\00:26:06.23
there's people
who have pornography.
00:26:06.26\00:26:08.40
God by His grace
saves them from that sin.
00:26:08.43\00:26:12.80
He accepts them as they
are and He brings them out.
00:26:12.83\00:26:15.57
Amen.
00:26:15.60\00:26:16.94
But nowadays to even say that
00:26:16.97\00:26:18.87
it's like you are a hate monger.
00:26:18.91\00:26:21.34
Yes. Yes.
00:26:21.38\00:26:22.71
Well, the society has
given a human right language
00:26:22.74\00:26:27.75
rather than it being a
sin that it's human rights.
00:26:27.78\00:26:32.19
You know, I
remember at the opening
00:26:32.22\00:26:34.52
or the inception
of the AIDS epidemic.
00:26:34.56\00:26:37.03
They were saying the same thing.
00:26:37.06\00:26:38.39
We're trying to give
the AIDS virus human rights.
00:26:38.43\00:26:42.40
And so now we've allowed
counter culture lifestyles
00:26:42.43\00:26:47.74
to be equal with human rights
00:26:47.77\00:26:52.01
and it throws it
all out of balance.
00:26:52.04\00:26:56.14
You know, we've got this
Revelation 13 and thank God
00:26:56.18\00:27:01.35
it's follow in Revelation 14,
00:27:01.38\00:27:03.85
so that the
call now is fear God,
00:27:03.89\00:27:08.92
give glory to Him for the
hour of His judgment is come.
00:27:08.96\00:27:14.60
Somebody has got to
stand up and wave a red flag
00:27:14.63\00:27:18.13
and say, "Folk,
something is going on in heaven.
00:27:18.17\00:27:21.44
Christ is about to come back.
00:27:21.47\00:27:23.10
It's time to
stop this foolishness
00:27:23.14\00:27:25.04
and get right with God
because judgment is coming.
00:27:25.07\00:27:28.21
It is here. Amen.
00:27:28.24\00:27:29.58
So fear God and
give Him glory. Amen.
00:27:29.61\00:27:31.81
Put yourself out of the way.
00:27:31.85\00:27:33.28
I think that you touched
on Paul's letter to Timothy,
00:27:33.31\00:27:36.05
2 Timothy 3, prayer less times.
00:27:36.08\00:27:38.35
We got craziness going on.
00:27:38.39\00:27:40.32
Lovers of their own
selves proud, boasters, heady,
00:27:40.36\00:27:42.56
high minded, lovers of pleasure
more than lovers of God.
00:27:42.59\00:27:45.16
No conscience.
And no conscience.
00:27:45.19\00:27:46.53
No conscience. No conscience.
00:27:46.56\00:27:47.90
You know, you have reporter
standing giving a live report
00:27:47.93\00:27:50.83
and someone comes up with
a gun and shoots him on TV.
00:27:50.87\00:27:53.34
Precisely. You
have all these racism.
00:27:53.37\00:27:55.47
Who would have thought we
would be turning the tables
00:27:55.50\00:27:57.94
back to that. Amen.
00:27:57.97\00:28:00.41
A young man went
into a church one day
00:28:00.44\00:28:02.48
and he is singing and
he praying for an hour
00:28:02.51\00:28:06.41
for the people and
then stands up and shoots.
00:28:06.45\00:28:07.85
He's in service for
a long period of time.
00:28:07.88\00:28:10.02
And then shoots everybody.
And then just shoots everybody.
00:28:10.05\00:28:12.09
In a church. In a church.
00:28:12.12\00:28:14.16
No conscience. Yeah.
00:28:14.19\00:28:15.52
No conscience for life.
00:28:15.56\00:28:17.19
Apostasy is a
sign of the last days
00:28:17.23\00:28:20.10
and all of this that we
are talking about here is
00:28:20.13\00:28:21.60
because we've
deviated from the Word of God.
00:28:21.63\00:28:24.27
Amen. Yeah.
00:28:24.30\00:28:25.63
We are no longer elevating that,
00:28:25.67\00:28:27.04
you're saying
taking prayer out school,
00:28:27.07\00:28:28.67
you know, all of
the stuff we're doing,
00:28:28.70\00:28:30.04
put him on a back burner.
00:28:30.07\00:28:31.41
This is why the world is
in the shape that it's in.
00:28:31.44\00:28:32.91
You got to get back to the word.
00:28:32.94\00:28:34.38
Unless it does, it's
gonna continue to go down too
00:28:34.41\00:28:36.64
And, you know, what
is connected in dots.
00:28:36.68\00:28:38.28
These are not isolated instances
00:28:38.31\00:28:39.91
and I'm not a pro-gun
guy, I'm not a anti-gun-guy
00:28:39.95\00:28:43.32
but a gun is a thing. Go on.
00:28:43.35\00:28:46.02
What's wrong is
the hearts of men. Yes.
00:28:46.05\00:28:48.82
You know, I could
run beat people to club,
00:28:48.86\00:28:50.83
you know, or a rock
but it's what going on
00:28:50.86\00:28:54.20
in the heads and
hearts of men and women,
00:28:54.23\00:28:55.93
that's the problem,
00:28:55.96\00:28:57.30
that's where the
Holy Spirit does its work
00:28:57.33\00:28:59.07
and does what has to be changed
the heart, the mind, the soul.
00:28:59.10\00:29:01.57
It's like the gun
that's always here,
00:29:01.60\00:29:03.30
the gun, gun, gun, gun control
00:29:03.34\00:29:05.37
and so now the
people are showing us
00:29:05.41\00:29:07.71
they are taking
knife, knives and axe
00:29:07.74\00:29:11.01
that anything
they can just to say
00:29:11.05\00:29:12.68
we can use any kind of weapon
00:29:12.71\00:29:14.05
we want to and
not necessarily a gun.
00:29:14.08\00:29:16.05
Where is the mind of man?
00:29:16.08\00:29:17.75
Well, we are told
that the Holy Spirit
00:29:17.79\00:29:19.29
will be
repressed from this earth.
00:29:19.32\00:29:21.06
We are pushing the
Holy Spirit away from us.
00:29:21.09\00:29:23.39
We are pushing Him out
because we are choosing to feed
00:29:23.43\00:29:26.26
on other things
besides God's word.
00:29:26.29\00:29:27.63
Amen. Amen.
00:29:27.66\00:29:29.00
Another thing that
Sister Shelley mentioned was
00:29:29.03\00:29:30.73
that people are deceived.
00:29:30.77\00:29:32.40
Going back to the
second angels' message,
00:29:32.43\00:29:34.34
it talks about
Babylon has fallen.
00:29:34.37\00:29:36.30
They made the earth drunk
with the wine or the wrath
00:29:36.34\00:29:39.67
of her fornication.
00:29:39.71\00:29:41.14
That wine, the false
doctrines that are out there,
00:29:41.18\00:29:44.15
how can you...?
00:29:44.18\00:29:45.51
You at home, how can you
tell what is a false doctrine?
00:29:45.55\00:29:48.45
Only by going back to
God's word and worshipping Him
00:29:48.48\00:29:52.69
not only in spirit
because a lot of people say,
00:29:52.72\00:29:54.92
"Well, we are
joining together in spirit."
00:29:54.96\00:29:57.43
The Bible says in
spirit and in truth.
00:29:57.46\00:30:01.00
They must be joined together.
They must be joined together.
00:30:01.03\00:30:05.80
Since we've touched on the first
00:30:05.83\00:30:07.37
and the second angels'
00:30:07.40\00:30:08.74
let's we were in
Revelation 14 and let's go ahead
00:30:08.77\00:30:13.54
and look at the
third angel's message.
00:30:13.58\00:30:16.38
The third angel begins
00:30:16.41\00:30:18.75
with verse 9, Revelation 14:9.
00:30:18.78\00:30:23.62
It says, "And the
third angel followed them,
00:30:23.65\00:30:26.49
saying with a loud voice,
00:30:26.52\00:30:27.99
If anyone worships
the beast and his image,
00:30:28.02\00:30:31.03
and receives his
mark on his forehead,
00:30:31.06\00:30:34.63
or in his hand,
00:30:34.66\00:30:36.00
he himself shall also drink
of the wine of the wrath of God,
00:30:36.03\00:30:39.40
which is poured
out full strength
00:30:39.43\00:30:41.30
into the cup of his indignation,
00:30:41.34\00:30:43.51
he shall be tormented
with fire and brimstone
00:30:43.54\00:30:48.04
in the presence
of the holy angels,
00:30:48.08\00:30:49.41
and in the
presence of the Lamb."
00:30:49.44\00:30:50.78
Wow.
00:30:50.81\00:30:52.15
That speaks pretty
clearly, doesn't it?
00:30:52.18\00:30:53.52
It does.
00:30:53.55\00:30:54.88
But here's something
that's even more powerful.
00:30:54.92\00:30:56.92
Boy, I'm not gonna,
00:30:56.95\00:30:58.29
I can't think of
this reference right now.
00:30:58.32\00:31:00.16
Ellen G. White said that people
were writing her asking her
00:31:00.19\00:31:06.19
if the third angels'
message that we just read
00:31:06.23\00:31:10.17
was the message of
justification by faith.
00:31:10.20\00:31:14.57
And she writes back and says,
00:31:14.60\00:31:17.61
"I have told them
00:31:17.64\00:31:19.44
it is the third
angel's message in verity."
00:31:19.47\00:31:25.01
So when you look at
that and people saying
00:31:25.05\00:31:28.45
how can you get justification
by faith out of this
00:31:28.48\00:31:33.15
where it's saying,
don't accept the mark,
00:31:33.19\00:31:35.26
don't do this, don't do that?
00:31:35.29\00:31:37.13
Here's-- y'all jump in here
but these are just my thoughts.
00:31:37.16\00:31:41.56
My thought is that any religion
00:31:41.60\00:31:46.63
that teaches
00:31:46.67\00:31:49.70
salvation by works
is a false religion.
00:31:49.74\00:31:54.88
If it's justification by faith,
00:31:54.91\00:31:56.64
that totally does away
with salvation by works.
00:31:56.68\00:32:00.32
People who are receiving
the mark on their forehead
00:32:00.35\00:32:05.35
which is in their
mind or on their hands,
00:32:05.39\00:32:06.99
their actions, their
thoughts and their actions,
00:32:07.02\00:32:09.66
what are they trying to do?
00:32:09.69\00:32:11.03
They are trying
to save them self,
00:32:11.06\00:32:14.20
they are joining
a false religion.
00:32:14.23\00:32:16.63
A religion that is not
obeying God's commandments.
00:32:16.67\00:32:22.80
A religion that is very
much salvation by works.
00:32:22.84\00:32:26.88
So what she is saying here
is that we've got to recognize
00:32:26.91\00:32:32.61
because the storm is coming,
00:32:32.65\00:32:34.85
our absolute total
dependence upon God
00:32:34.88\00:32:38.95
for salvation
and His empowerment
00:32:38.99\00:32:42.96
to be able to walk in His ways
00:32:42.99\00:32:45.46
because Revelation 12:17 says
00:32:45.49\00:32:48.33
that adheres the... Patience.
00:32:48.36\00:32:51.53
The patience of the saints
those who keep God's command,
00:32:51.57\00:32:56.87
commandments so.
00:32:56.91\00:32:58.24
And as you go back through
the all three angels' messages,
00:32:58.27\00:33:02.44
you know,
judgment hour has come.
00:33:02.48\00:33:04.41
Judgment, what are
we gonna be judge by?
00:33:04.45\00:33:07.05
You know, keeping God's law.
00:33:07.08\00:33:08.42
So all of that when you
begin to study in detail,
00:33:08.45\00:33:11.45
you will see more
and more how it relates
00:33:11.49\00:33:13.39
to righteousness by faith.
00:33:13.42\00:33:15.19
And the opposite of
what you said is true.
00:33:15.22\00:33:17.19
If churches are preaching
all you have to do is believe.
00:33:17.23\00:33:20.10
Well, you know
what, the devil believes.
00:33:20.13\00:33:22.03
Yes. It trembles.
00:33:22.06\00:33:25.20
And he is not saved.
00:33:25.23\00:33:26.87
So we have to do
more than just believe.
00:33:26.90\00:33:29.70
We have to be
seekers of the gold
00:33:29.74\00:33:32.07
that is within these pages.
00:33:32.11\00:33:34.31
And life will not
always continue as we know it.
00:33:34.34\00:33:37.81
Jumping down to verse
15, Revelation 14:15 it says,
00:33:37.85\00:33:42.48
"And another angel
came out of the temple,
00:33:42.52\00:33:45.39
crying with a loud voice
to him that sat on the cloud,
00:33:45.42\00:33:48.89
Thrust in thy sickle, and reap,
00:33:48.92\00:33:51.59
for the time is
come for thee to reap,
00:33:51.63\00:33:54.90
for the harvest of
the earth is ripe."
00:33:54.93\00:33:57.93
Our lives will not continue
to go day by day comfortably
00:33:57.97\00:34:03.94
as we think.
It's going to change.
00:34:03.97\00:34:05.74
This earth will
come to an end. Yeah.
00:34:05.77\00:34:08.44
I was trying to
hold on to my thought
00:34:08.48\00:34:09.81
when you were quoting that text,
00:34:09.84\00:34:12.15
but it occurs to
me every religion
00:34:12.18\00:34:14.05
falls into one
or two categories.
00:34:14.08\00:34:16.18
It is either loyal or legal.
00:34:16.22\00:34:18.92
It is either fidelity
wise with the Word of God
00:34:18.95\00:34:24.76
or it is a religion where you
are trying to work your way in
00:34:24.79\00:34:27.53
by your own effort. Yes.
00:34:27.56\00:34:28.90
Loyal or legal. Yes.
00:34:28.93\00:34:30.27
So if you are loyal, then
it is justification by faith.
00:34:30.30\00:34:34.87
But if I'm trying to please God,
00:34:34.90\00:34:36.60
if I'm trying to do
things then it's legal.
00:34:36.64\00:34:38.71
The other side of that same coin
00:34:38.74\00:34:41.51
is what Sister
Chris just mentioned.
00:34:41.54\00:34:43.81
This idea that I
want to do anything.
00:34:43.85\00:34:45.95
I was talking with
someone just yesterday
00:34:45.98\00:34:47.32
and there is a
very popular speaker
00:34:47.35\00:34:49.08
that this person had not
heard and he was in Texas
00:34:49.12\00:34:52.35
and he happened to
hear him for the first time.
00:34:52.39\00:34:54.69
He is in his hotel room and
he just put him on and he said,
00:34:54.72\00:34:57.69
"I'm waiting
through two full sermons
00:34:57.73\00:35:00.26
to hear something from the word.
00:35:00.30\00:35:02.66
I head a pep talk,
I heard entertainment
00:35:02.70\00:35:06.57
and he said
something interesting.
00:35:06.60\00:35:07.94
On my radio in the car
00:35:07.97\00:35:10.44
when I went to find
this particular speaker,
00:35:10.47\00:35:15.18
he wasn't bunched with
the religious channels,
00:35:15.21\00:35:18.28
he was with the entertainment."
00:35:18.31\00:35:20.22
Well now. He is
with the entertainment.
00:35:20.25\00:35:21.85
He said, "I listen
to two full messages
00:35:21.88\00:35:23.92
and I heard a
pretty good pep talk.
00:35:23.95\00:35:25.85
I heard a pretty
good cheerleading session
00:35:25.89\00:35:29.32
but I didn't hear gospel.
00:35:29.36\00:35:31.19
I didn't hear gospel."
00:35:31.23\00:35:32.56
And that's what
that same Revelation
00:35:32.59\00:35:35.70
third angel's
message is trying to say.
00:35:35.73\00:35:37.97
Whether you're trying to work
your way into your own efforts
00:35:38.00\00:35:40.54
or you are sitting back
doing nothing and figure that
00:35:40.57\00:35:43.14
all I got to do is
say, "I love you, Lord."
00:35:43.17\00:35:44.51
And that's it.
00:35:44.54\00:35:45.87
it's the same boat, you know,
you are in a same lost ship.
00:35:45.91\00:35:49.71
So, this is justification
by faith is that's the way,
00:35:49.74\00:35:54.55
Shelley, as you
well know, that's it.
00:35:54.58\00:35:57.59
Forgive my aperture of English
"There ain't no other way.
00:35:57.62\00:35:59.45
That's it." That's right.
00:35:59.49\00:36:00.82
Thank you. That's all right.
00:36:00.86\00:36:02.19
I love that English.
00:36:02.22\00:36:03.56
That's right.
There's no other way.
00:36:03.59\00:36:04.93
That's right. Yeah.
00:36:04.96\00:36:06.29
I mean, when you
read and you understand
00:36:06.33\00:36:07.66
when it says we are approaching
a crisis of the ages,
00:36:07.70\00:36:11.90
a struggle, a
moment of struggle.
00:36:11.93\00:36:15.24
We are talking
about again Daniel 12:1
00:36:15.27\00:36:18.24
but notice it's not just a
struggle we're talking about
00:36:18.27\00:36:21.54
for the wicked
and the disobedience,
00:36:21.58\00:36:23.38
it's also for the righteous.
00:36:23.41\00:36:25.15
Absolutely. Yes.
00:36:25.18\00:36:26.51
Revelation 13 you
read what 15 through 17.
00:36:26.55\00:36:28.42
Yes. Yes.
00:36:28.45\00:36:29.78
We are going to be tested.
00:36:29.82\00:36:31.15
It's this moment of struggle
00:36:31.19\00:36:32.62
for the wicked during this time.
00:36:32.65\00:36:34.32
The blessings of God, you
know, not getting, not receiving
00:36:34.36\00:36:37.26
and the people of God are
gonna be tested and proved
00:36:37.29\00:36:40.30
and I'll be careful with this,
00:36:40.33\00:36:41.66
but God is gonna
perfect that remnant,
00:36:41.70\00:36:43.50
out of the remnant if
He is-- He is gonna work.
00:36:43.53\00:36:45.43
He is going to bring it to pass.
00:36:45.47\00:36:46.80
He is going to have a
people that will be perfected.
00:36:46.84\00:36:49.50
You know,
because this is all about
00:36:49.54\00:36:50.87
what character development.
00:36:50.91\00:36:52.47
First angel message give glory.
00:36:52.51\00:36:54.14
I've heard people preach
sermons, give glory to God
00:36:54.18\00:36:56.51
and then go on
knowing about giving glory.
00:36:56.54\00:36:58.31
How can I really
give glory to God?
00:36:58.35\00:37:00.92
Best way I can give glory to God
00:37:00.95\00:37:02.48
that you can give
glory to God is led Him what?
00:37:02.52\00:37:04.75
Show His character.
00:37:04.79\00:37:06.45
Let His character live
out in your life and my life.
00:37:06.49\00:37:08.19
I'm going to say
what your wife just said,
00:37:08.22\00:37:10.16
come on, baby.
00:37:10.19\00:37:12.19
That's right, you go to
right, you said the right thing.
00:37:12.23\00:37:14.53
That's the best way
to give glory to God.
00:37:14.56\00:37:16.53
Amen. Live out
Christ in your life.
00:37:16.56\00:37:19.63
Ephesians 2:8, no I want 2:10.
00:37:19.67\00:37:23.87
2:10 is "We're
created for good works."
00:37:23.91\00:37:27.21
Yes. That's why we exist.
00:37:27.24\00:37:29.88
It follows the fact that that
00:37:29.91\00:37:31.65
we are saved by
grace through faith
00:37:31.68\00:37:33.01
but we are
created for good works.
00:37:33.05\00:37:34.38
That's what God put us here for,
00:37:34.42\00:37:35.92
to work the works
of Him who created us.
00:37:35.95\00:37:37.35
Beautiful.
00:37:37.39\00:37:38.72
Going back to the deception
again what are good works.
00:37:38.75\00:37:41.39
People think that
they are doing good works
00:37:41.42\00:37:43.49
and yet they are saved,
00:37:43.53\00:37:44.86
but they are not living
up to the light of the truth.
00:37:44.89\00:37:47.33
And so, you know,
years ago I remember a sermon
00:37:47.36\00:37:50.17
that you gave, a good boy is
not gonna make it to heaven."
00:37:50.20\00:37:53.00
Not all good boys or
not all good old girls.
00:37:53.03\00:37:55.50
They do wonderful things.
00:37:55.54\00:37:57.47
They may spend more time
in mission work than we do.
00:37:57.51\00:38:00.41
You see what I'm
saying but that doesn't mean
00:38:00.44\00:38:02.94
that they are gonna
make it to the kingdom.
00:38:02.98\00:38:04.41
Agreed.
00:38:04.45\00:38:05.78
It's when Jesus, when
the people came to Jesus
00:38:05.81\00:38:07.92
and He says to them, you know,
00:38:07.95\00:38:10.95
you will say to Me,
Lord, Lord-- Not everyone
00:38:10.99\00:38:13.92
who says to Me, Lord, Lord,
00:38:13.96\00:38:16.19
is going to make it
to the kingdom of heaven.
00:38:16.22\00:38:18.29
And they are gonna
be saying, but, Lord,
00:38:18.33\00:38:20.00
didn't we do this for You?
00:38:20.03\00:38:21.96
Didn't we do that for You?
00:38:22.00\00:38:23.40
Didn't we cast out demons?
00:38:23.43\00:38:25.40
And He says away from me you
00:38:25.43\00:38:30.21
who practice lawlessness.
00:38:30.24\00:38:33.04
So there are people and see
this is something that I just,
00:38:33.07\00:38:37.91
I have one person that I
hear from on a regular basis
00:38:37.95\00:38:41.58
who says, "Bless your heart.
00:38:41.62\00:38:43.32
You just, you know, you have
such a sincere heart she says
00:38:43.35\00:38:47.22
and you do this and you do that
and you are so sourly mistaken
00:38:47.26\00:38:52.39
about your theology
because you're always, you know,
00:38:52.43\00:38:55.26
you talk about opinions."
00:38:55.30\00:38:57.50
Well, Hebrews 5:9 says that
00:38:57.53\00:39:00.20
Christ became the
author of eternal salvation
00:39:00.24\00:39:03.07
to all those who obey Him.
00:39:03.10\00:39:04.67
We don't obey Him to be saved.
00:39:04.71\00:39:07.34
We obey Him because He
puts His character in us.
00:39:07.38\00:39:11.65
Christ didn't obey to
become the Son of God,
00:39:11.68\00:39:14.75
He obeyed because
He was the Son of God.
00:39:14.78\00:39:17.75
We obey because
we are the chosen.
00:39:17.79\00:39:20.39
It's all about love.
00:39:20.42\00:39:23.06
Without love it
availeth nothing.
00:39:23.09\00:39:24.93
Absolutely. It's
a tingling brass.
00:39:24.96\00:39:27.90
It's just a noise.
00:39:27.93\00:39:29.43
So we need the love of God.
00:39:29.46\00:39:31.23
I believe the love of God is
the center of His commandment.
00:39:31.27\00:39:34.94
Oh, absolutely.
00:39:34.97\00:39:36.30
You know, we can't
keep His commandments
00:39:36.34\00:39:37.67
unless we love Him.
00:39:37.71\00:39:39.04
And going there again going back
00:39:39.07\00:39:40.71
you're not gonna know who He is.
00:39:40.74\00:39:42.68
You are not gonna
fall in love with Him
00:39:42.71\00:39:44.68
until you have
communication with Him.
00:39:44.71\00:39:47.08
Till you're studying His word.
Till you're sharing His word.
00:39:47.12\00:39:49.55
This crisis that
you are talking about,
00:39:49.58\00:39:52.19
this crisis affects the church.
00:39:52.22\00:39:55.46
See this is what we need to be,
00:39:55.49\00:39:56.96
you know, our minds
need to go back to say
00:39:56.99\00:39:59.39
but because we have not
done our work in the time,
00:39:59.43\00:40:03.03
you see that we should
have done it will have to do it
00:40:03.06\00:40:04.93
under forbidding circumstances,
00:40:04.97\00:40:07.34
when everything
seems to be against us
00:40:07.37\00:40:09.10
because we have failed.
00:40:09.14\00:40:10.51
Inspiration says to
do what we should do
00:40:10.54\00:40:12.57
while it's still day.
00:40:12.61\00:40:14.14
So we're gonna have, I'm
thankful and I think I see this
00:40:14.18\00:40:17.91
and if I'm wrong
you just forgive me.
00:40:17.95\00:40:20.48
This is what I sense that
3ABN is biding harder now,
00:40:20.52\00:40:25.65
moving forward now,
pushing harder than ever before
00:40:25.69\00:40:29.42
because we realize this
crisis is just before us
00:40:29.46\00:40:33.26
and the work is going
to become more difficult
00:40:33.29\00:40:36.70
for those who are
really giving the truth
00:40:36.73\00:40:39.70
because the truth, you know,
00:40:39.73\00:40:41.77
let me say my brother
asking one time I say,
00:40:41.80\00:40:44.17
"You know, the
truth is not popular."
00:40:44.21\00:40:47.74
And "Yeah, you know, yeah."
00:40:47.78\00:40:50.25
I said, "But what
somebody, you know,
00:40:50.28\00:40:52.38
you really present the truth
00:40:52.41\00:40:53.75
you're gonna get lot of letters.
00:40:53.78\00:40:55.78
And those letters they may say,
00:40:55.82\00:40:57.15
well, we don't want
to hear that on the air.
00:40:57.19\00:40:58.99
Said what you're gonna do then?"
00:40:59.02\00:41:00.79
I love his answer.
00:41:00.82\00:41:02.22
Said, "I don't care
how many letters we get
00:41:02.26\00:41:04.23
my question is, is it truth?
00:41:04.26\00:41:06.83
Is it the truth?
00:41:06.86\00:41:08.20
Is it why we are here and
what God has asked us to do?
00:41:08.23\00:41:11.23
It doesn't matter
about the grumblers
00:41:11.27\00:41:12.90
and the people who don't agree.
00:41:12.93\00:41:14.47
What God has
said why we are here,
00:41:14.50\00:41:16.40
let's do it now
because if we don't,
00:41:16.44\00:41:18.97
it's going to be much worse.
00:41:19.01\00:41:20.34
Right now it's
just a wonderful time
00:41:20.38\00:41:22.14
to be able to
get the gospel out."
00:41:22.18\00:41:24.08
It is getting. Oh, yes.
00:41:24.11\00:41:25.61
Oh, mercy. Tighter.
00:41:25.65\00:41:27.85
The noose around the
neck is getting tighter
00:41:27.88\00:41:30.65
as we see these
things happening.
00:41:30.69\00:41:32.22
You mentioned our
freedom has been taken away
00:41:32.25\00:41:34.86
because the more we see
people acting out their rage
00:41:34.89\00:41:40.10
as it if the enemy is just
encapsulated in so many people
00:41:40.13\00:41:45.07
they are acting out
their rage and more and more
00:41:45.10\00:41:47.84
of our freedoms are
gonna be taken away.
00:41:47.87\00:41:49.70
Yes. And we will give them up.
00:41:49.74\00:41:52.91
I mean, we know what's coming.
00:41:52.94\00:41:55.11
There is going to come a
time when there is going to
00:41:55.14\00:41:57.41
and you know, right
now they are horrible.
00:41:57.45\00:42:00.55
We are not even
hearing about in Ethiopia
00:42:00.58\00:42:03.92
they are having,
people are starving to death.
00:42:03.95\00:42:06.65
They have got
such a horrible drought
00:42:06.69\00:42:08.76
that there is people who are
walking for hundreds of miles
00:42:08.79\00:42:13.06
to try to find a morsel of food.
00:42:13.09\00:42:14.96
There is nothing
to feed their cattle.
00:42:15.00\00:42:16.56
There is nothing to plant.
00:42:16.60\00:42:18.13
And, you know, we are
so busy listening to--
00:42:18.17\00:42:23.91
I just, I'm not,
00:42:23.94\00:42:25.37
I just cannot hardly
stomach the political campaigns
00:42:25.41\00:42:30.75
that are so
negative and we heard
00:42:30.78\00:42:32.21
so much of this kind of thing
00:42:32.25\00:42:34.18
and we're hearing
all of this craziness
00:42:34.22\00:42:36.45
that's coming up
in our own country.
00:42:36.48\00:42:38.69
We are not paying attention
to some of these plagues
00:42:38.72\00:42:41.89
that are already falling.
00:42:41.92\00:42:43.93
And when it touches
us you will hit first.
00:42:43.96\00:42:48.50
Yes.
00:42:48.53\00:42:49.86
When it touches
us, should the drought
00:42:49.90\00:42:51.80
as weather patterns
are changing so rapidly.
00:42:51.83\00:42:54.60
If the drought hits
us which we are seeing,
00:42:54.64\00:42:57.81
look how it's
devastating the farm,
00:42:57.84\00:43:00.41
the agriculture
business in California right now
00:43:00.44\00:43:03.35
and water is
becoming of a premium.
00:43:03.38\00:43:06.61
Once it starts touching us
00:43:06.65\00:43:09.55
or our budget everything
is becoming so expensive
00:43:09.58\00:43:13.12
that's one thing.
00:43:13.15\00:43:14.49
Wait till where there
is no availability of food,
00:43:14.52\00:43:17.19
then you're going to see
people who were ready to say,
00:43:17.23\00:43:21.90
when someone says it is,
00:43:21.93\00:43:24.93
it's because you are not keeping
00:43:24.97\00:43:27.37
Sunday as the day of worship.
00:43:27.40\00:43:30.51
You know, 'cause this is
the Pope's big push right now
00:43:30.54\00:43:33.31
she said.
00:43:33.34\00:43:34.68
We have to, you know, his whole
encyclical was all, I mean,
00:43:34.71\00:43:38.75
woven throughout
his last encyclical
00:43:38.78\00:43:41.12
was all about Sunday keeping
00:43:41.15\00:43:44.62
and how this is
what's wrong with the world.
00:43:44.65\00:43:47.46
Well, pretty soon this
argument will be believed
00:43:47.49\00:43:50.73
and they passed this
Sunday law and then those of us
00:43:50.76\00:43:53.56
who are keeping
the commandments of God
00:43:53.60\00:43:55.33
will not be able to buy or sell.
00:43:55.36\00:43:56.87
That's right.
00:43:56.90\00:43:58.23
Now, what you said
about the perfecting
00:43:58.27\00:44:01.00
that God is going to do
JD's got something that,
00:44:01.04\00:44:04.54
you know, the Bible is clear,
00:44:04.57\00:44:05.91
it's God who does
the perfection. Amen.
00:44:05.94\00:44:07.48
Philippians 1:6, 1
Thessalonians 5:14 whatever
00:44:07.51\00:44:11.78
in-- my mind went blank.
00:44:11.81\00:44:15.78
Roman, no, well,
anyway my mind went blank.
00:44:15.82\00:44:18.32
Romans 12:1.
00:44:18.35\00:44:19.92
No, that's not it.
00:44:19.95\00:44:21.29
But anyway, the
point is the Bible is clear
00:44:21.32\00:44:24.96
that God is the one that will
do this perfecting work in us.
00:44:24.99\00:44:27.60
That's right.
00:44:27.63\00:44:28.96
We have to
surrender, we can't do it.
00:44:29.00\00:44:30.33
We surrender control
to Him, He does that.
00:44:30.37\00:44:32.90
But here's what JD says,
00:44:32.93\00:44:34.57
when people are
talking about the perfection
00:44:34.60\00:44:36.84
toward the end of time.
00:44:36.87\00:44:38.21
Says, I
guarantee, let's just take,
00:44:38.24\00:44:39.94
we are gonna take a little
slice here, a little segment.
00:44:39.97\00:44:43.75
You know, Sister White said,
"We're gonna have to do things
00:44:43.78\00:44:47.02
under adversity that
we are not doing now."
00:44:47.05\00:44:49.72
If somebody hasn't
been keeping the Sabbath,
00:44:49.75\00:44:52.35
let me ask you, if
you've got 100 Adventists
00:44:52.39\00:44:54.96
and let's say 30 of them
00:44:54.99\00:44:58.19
not really been
keeping the Sabbath.
00:44:58.23\00:45:00.20
You think when the
Sunday law is passed
00:45:00.23\00:45:03.06
that they are
suddenly gonna start keeping it
00:45:03.10\00:45:04.83
when they can't buy or sell
00:45:04.87\00:45:06.20
and it's getting more difficult?
00:45:06.23\00:45:07.57
No. No.
00:45:07.60\00:45:08.94
So let's say those 30 fall off,
now you've only got 70 people.
00:45:08.97\00:45:12.14
Now all of these
trials are coming your way.
00:45:12.17\00:45:15.58
God is leading you and
directing you and I mean,
00:45:15.61\00:45:18.11
that's the only way we're gonna
make it through the end times.
00:45:18.15\00:45:20.95
And so with each
trials so let's say that,
00:45:20.98\00:45:23.89
okay, you say,
I'm not gonna receive
00:45:23.92\00:45:27.32
the mark on my
forehead or my hand.
00:45:27.36\00:45:29.12
I'm not gonna worship on Sunday.
00:45:29.16\00:45:30.83
Now your children are starving.
00:45:30.86\00:45:32.43
Oh, well, maybe, you know,
00:45:32.46\00:45:34.23
I haven't really developed
that perfect faith in the Lord
00:45:34.26\00:45:37.20
and my kids are starving,
so maybe it wouldn't be so bad,
00:45:37.23\00:45:40.50
maybe I can go to church
on Sabbath and on Sunday.
00:45:40.54\00:45:43.71
Oh, I hear that now.
00:45:43.74\00:45:45.07
You see what I'm saying?
00:45:45.11\00:45:46.71
Try to justify your actions.
00:45:46.74\00:45:48.11
Out of that hundred people
00:45:48.14\00:45:49.61
JD said that "The perfection
comes as God is leading us
00:45:49.64\00:45:54.85
through all of these trials."
00:45:54.88\00:45:56.82
He said, "I
guarantee you the 144,000
00:45:56.85\00:45:59.79
that are at the end of time
00:45:59.82\00:46:02.02
that are
following the Lamb anyway,
00:46:02.06\00:46:04.13
you better believe
they are gonna be perfect
00:46:04.16\00:46:05.93
just because God puts it-- When
we gone through the crucible,
00:46:05.96\00:46:10.37
He melts away all the draws."
00:46:10.40\00:46:13.17
That's right.
00:46:13.20\00:46:15.77
He said, there will
be a perfected people.
00:46:15.80\00:46:17.14
Absolutely. And
there will be, praise God.
00:46:17.17\00:46:20.04
But we have to be willing
to allow Him to burn that.
00:46:20.08\00:46:22.78
My dad used to say, "If
you don't let go away here,
00:46:22.81\00:46:26.15
it will be burned off." Mercy.
00:46:26.18\00:46:28.35
We need to let little
cross go and we need to,
00:46:28.38\00:46:32.12
just submit it. Yes.
00:46:32.15\00:46:33.49
Our part is to submit
and to ask God to come in
00:46:33.52\00:46:36.86
and to do the work. Amen.
00:46:36.89\00:46:38.73
But it all boils down, you know,
00:46:38.76\00:46:40.36
and you've mentioned
that we are so separated
00:46:40.40\00:46:44.30
from these things
till it hits home.
00:46:44.33\00:46:47.14
This storm that is
coming, no one, no one
00:46:47.17\00:46:51.77
will be able to escape it
00:46:51.81\00:46:53.71
unless you are in
and you're sheltered.
00:46:53.74\00:46:56.85
You've been called out
by the blood of the Lamb,
00:46:56.88\00:46:59.48
Jesus is saying,
"Come." Come to the storage.
00:46:59.51\00:47:02.05
Come, come out
My people, come out.
00:47:02.08\00:47:06.15
And He is calling, He
is calling, He is calling
00:47:06.19\00:47:08.86
and I pray that
you hear His voice
00:47:08.89\00:47:11.49
and you want to study more.
00:47:11.53\00:47:13.03
You want to dig
into these verses,
00:47:13.06\00:47:16.30
these chapters in Revelation
00:47:16.33\00:47:18.20
and I'm hoping at
the end of this program,
00:47:18.23\00:47:19.93
we can help them to
do even more with that.
00:47:19.97\00:47:21.80
I'll talk to you folks in
just a moment at the newsbreak
00:47:21.84\00:47:24.21
and see if we can.
00:47:24.24\00:47:25.57
But, you know,
when it says in Romans,
00:47:25.61\00:47:26.94
I mean, Revelation 13:8,
00:47:26.98\00:47:28.38
it says, "All
the world" Wandered.
00:47:28.41\00:47:30.51
Pastor, "All the world
wandered after the beast
00:47:30.55\00:47:33.72
and they are those
whose names are not
00:47:33.75\00:47:36.08
written in the
Lamb's book of life,
00:47:36.12\00:47:37.59
slain from the
foundation of the world."
00:47:37.62\00:47:39.85
That would
almost be discouraging
00:47:39.89\00:47:42.19
if we just read that and
said, "All the world wandered"
00:47:42.22\00:47:45.39
and then as you
turn to Revelation 14:12
00:47:45.43\00:47:48.46
here's the
patience of the saints.
00:47:48.50\00:47:50.10
Here they are that
keep the commandments of God
00:47:50.13\00:47:51.93
and have the testimony of Jesus.
00:47:51.97\00:47:53.30
So there is a group,
there will be a group
00:47:53.34\00:47:56.24
that will rightly
vindicate God's character.
00:47:56.27\00:47:59.27
After all it's Him
that's been on trial.
00:47:59.31\00:48:01.44
His character and
it just blows my mind
00:48:01.48\00:48:04.61
to think about He
is letting humanity man
00:48:04.65\00:48:08.62
vindicate His character knowing
us as well as He knows us
00:48:08.65\00:48:15.02
that He said, "If they
will just rely upon Me,
00:48:15.06\00:48:16.96
if they will open
their heart and their mind,
00:48:16.99\00:48:18.59
it no longer be their mind
or no longer be their strength.
00:48:18.63\00:48:21.63
All this would be Jesus
in us, the hope of glory.
00:48:21.66\00:48:25.20
And we will overcome
by the blood of the Lamb
00:48:25.23\00:48:27.34
and the word of the testimony.
00:48:27.37\00:48:28.70
You know, the only way
to get a smooth even surface
00:48:28.74\00:48:32.24
is the sand.
00:48:32.27\00:48:33.61
You know--
00:48:33.64\00:48:34.98
Use abrasive,
something abrasive.
00:48:35.01\00:48:36.34
Yeah, you got
to use an abrasive.
00:48:36.38\00:48:37.71
You got to sand it
but it also means that
00:48:37.75\00:48:39.75
there is gonna be cinders flying
00:48:39.78\00:48:41.85
and sawdust and you know
00:48:41.88\00:48:43.28
when you sand, it's lot
of stuff going on in here
00:48:43.32\00:48:46.19
but the process is necessary.
00:48:46.22\00:48:48.62
You know, it's necessary
00:48:48.66\00:48:49.99
and there are some who
will only get in through
00:48:50.03\00:48:54.13
some amount of
pain and suffering.
00:48:54.16\00:48:55.80
The storms that we
are going through now
00:48:55.83\00:48:59.30
are still mitigated
with a mercy of God.
00:48:59.33\00:49:01.67
That's right. Hallelujah.
00:49:01.70\00:49:03.04
What we read is
coming is unmitigated.
00:49:03.07\00:49:04.84
That's right. No mercy.
00:49:04.87\00:49:06.21
We have mercy.
00:49:06.24\00:49:07.58
So God is saying like a
pastor told me once and I was,
00:49:07.61\00:49:10.95
he said, "God will
let you break your ankle,
00:49:10.98\00:49:12.95
keep you from
breaking your neck."
00:49:12.98\00:49:14.32
Yeah.
00:49:14.35\00:49:15.68
That's right. Yeah.
00:49:15.72\00:49:17.05
So right now these
are little ankle breakers
00:49:17.09\00:49:19.35
but He is not
going for the head.
00:49:19.39\00:49:21.06
You know the head is still okay.
00:49:21.09\00:49:22.92
But that final
storm is just punishment
00:49:22.96\00:49:25.56
because you're not
trying to save people then.
00:49:25.59\00:49:27.50
So right now the Lord is saying,
00:49:27.53\00:49:29.53
He is pinching
you to get himself,
00:49:29.56\00:49:31.67
let me pay
attention, you know now
00:49:31.70\00:49:35.64
because what's coming
the worst is gonna be,
00:49:35.67\00:49:37.54
later it's going
to be much worse.
00:49:37.57\00:49:39.01
Absolutely.
00:49:39.04\00:49:40.38
Absolutely. Yeah.
00:49:40.41\00:49:41.74
Because you
think about when people
00:49:41.78\00:49:43.11
though are in a sleepy state.
00:49:43.14\00:49:44.48
Now we are in the hour
of the judgment we know,
00:49:44.51\00:49:46.05
the Laodicea,
they're sleepy there,
00:49:46.08\00:49:47.52
you know, the judgment.
00:49:47.55\00:49:49.25
But sometime
when you're lukewarm
00:49:49.28\00:49:51.05
and you are half asleep,
00:49:51.09\00:49:53.02
I don't want
somebody maybe bother me.
00:49:53.05\00:49:56.62
You know, when
you're little bit,
00:49:56.66\00:49:58.53
you be little big grouchy
and that's kind of a sign.
00:49:58.56\00:50:02.26
It makes it easy to
say I don't want it.
00:50:02.30\00:50:04.10
Go away, leave me
alone, come back another time.
00:50:04.13\00:50:06.80
But you know what, we
are so near the end of time.
00:50:06.84\00:50:09.10
We need to press
forward to the gate.
00:50:09.14\00:50:11.74
There is a storm,
relentless in its fury.
00:50:11.77\00:50:16.54
It will not let up.
We are all involved.
00:50:16.58\00:50:18.58
We are in the path.
00:50:18.61\00:50:19.95
And so, even though
people don't want to hear it.
00:50:19.98\00:50:22.02
I heard somebody say,
"Oh, well, Brother Kenny again.
00:50:22.05\00:50:24.69
He preaching doom and gloom."
00:50:24.72\00:50:27.22
You know, what doom and gloom,
00:50:27.26\00:50:28.59
that's people's
excuse for not listening.
00:50:28.62\00:50:30.29
It's a warning
message that Jesus is coming.
00:50:30.33\00:50:34.23
He is coming back after those
00:50:34.26\00:50:35.70
who will be like
Him in character.
00:50:35.73\00:50:38.20
And so we need to
submit fully to Him.
00:50:38.23\00:50:39.93
There is the crisis.
00:50:39.97\00:50:41.30
Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:41.34\00:50:42.67
Tell you a quick story. Yes.
00:50:42.70\00:50:44.04
As we speak my wife is
home suffering from cold
00:50:44.07\00:50:46.47
coming back from a trip.
00:50:46.51\00:50:47.84
And when we were, the other
day we got to get on a plane
00:50:47.88\00:50:51.11
and she was really sick.
00:50:51.15\00:50:52.48
And so I disturbed her, I
said, baby you got to get up.
00:50:52.51\00:50:54.92
No, I don't want to get up.
00:50:54.95\00:50:56.28
Oh, you got to get
ready, get on the plane.
00:50:56.32\00:50:58.45
No, I want to just stay
here. No, we got to go home.
00:50:58.49\00:51:01.86
Can I just-- No,
you can't sleep anymore.
00:51:01.89\00:51:03.59
You got to get up
because it's time to go."
00:51:03.63\00:51:06.06
So after she said, you
know, airport, changing planes,
00:51:06.09\00:51:10.73
you get cold she says
00:51:10.77\00:51:12.60
"This is the
worse day of my life."
00:51:12.63\00:51:14.10
But then she said,
"Well, I'm glad I'm home."
00:51:14.14\00:51:16.87
You know, so after that
all that trauma and drama,
00:51:16.91\00:51:19.87
you got home, you know,
00:51:19.91\00:51:21.24
and that's what counts
00:51:21.28\00:51:22.61
that after all
its trauma and drama.
00:51:22.64\00:51:23.98
The reason we talk and we preach
00:51:24.01\00:51:25.81
and we go over again and again
00:51:25.85\00:51:27.78
is because we're
trying to get you home.
00:51:27.82\00:51:29.55
And when you get home
and look back and say,
00:51:29.58\00:51:31.79
you know what,
it's worth it all,
00:51:31.82\00:51:33.15
at least I'm home.
It was worth it all.
00:51:33.19\00:51:35.09
We have to, you
mention we love people.
00:51:35.12\00:51:38.39
You love and that's
why it's not, we're right,
00:51:38.43\00:51:40.96
you're wrong, he
is this, he is that.
00:51:41.00\00:51:42.56
What does God's word said?
00:51:42.60\00:51:43.93
We love and we want to warn them
00:51:43.97\00:51:45.90
so that they can be ready.
00:51:45.93\00:51:47.27
Amen. Amen.
00:51:47.30\00:51:48.64
You know, heaven
might be a lonely place
00:51:48.67\00:51:50.01
if you're the only one there.
00:51:50.04\00:51:51.37
God wants us to take,
you know, well, those with us
00:51:51.41\00:51:53.04
and so He is
giving us that opportunity
00:51:53.07\00:51:54.48
and that
privilege to do that. Amen.
00:51:54.51\00:51:56.71
And I hope that our
people who are viewing
00:51:56.75\00:52:00.72
understands the
necessity of the hour
00:52:00.75\00:52:02.58
that we live getting
things right with God.
00:52:02.62\00:52:05.75
Living the life that
be pleasing in His sight.
00:52:05.79\00:52:08.52
This is the hour,
00:52:08.56\00:52:09.96
this is the time
decisions need to be made.
00:52:09.99\00:52:12.83
This is the time to
lay everything on the altar
00:52:12.86\00:52:16.20
because the song we sing what?
00:52:16.23\00:52:18.10
"This world is not my home,
I'm just a passing through."
00:52:18.13\00:52:22.70
And, you know, what dear,
00:52:22.74\00:52:24.07
there will be
tests and trials to see
00:52:24.11\00:52:25.44
if this world is
really our home or not.
00:52:25.47\00:52:27.08
Yeah, that's right. You know.
00:52:27.11\00:52:28.81
But, you know what, right now
00:52:28.84\00:52:30.18
we are gonna take
a little short break
00:52:30.21\00:52:31.55
and we will be
right back to wrap it up
00:52:31.58\00:52:33.15
and give a few last thoughts.
00:52:33.18\00:52:34.52
We will see you
in just a moment.
00:52:34.55\00:52:35.88
