00:00:01.33\00:00:07.24
Mending broken people
00:00:07.30\00:00:12.24
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.27\00:00:18.45
Removing pain
00:00:18.48\00:00:23.49
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.55\00:00:29.72
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.76\00:00:34.23
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.30\00:00:40.07
Mending broken people
00:00:40.10\00:00:45.37
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.41\00:00:51.05
Mending broken people
00:00:51.08\00:00:54.78
Hello, friends, and
welcome to 3ABN Today,
00:01:06.46\00:01:08.80
my name is John Lomacang.
00:01:08.83\00:01:10.27
Thank you for tuning in.
00:01:10.33\00:01:12.43
You know, I've
done programs before
00:01:12.47\00:01:14.34
that I've been blessed by,
we've met many interviewers.
00:01:14.37\00:01:17.87
This is going to
be an exiting program.
00:01:17.91\00:01:19.54
My good friend Jamie
Jorge is here with us.
00:01:19.57\00:01:22.64
Jamie, I don't how often
introduce people this soon
00:01:22.68\00:01:25.05
but, I cant ignore you.
00:01:25.08\00:01:26.72
Good to have you here today.
00:01:26.78\00:01:28.12
Thanks for being
here, I'm really exited.
00:01:28.15\00:01:29.58
I know that you're going to be
blessed by this program today.
00:01:29.62\00:01:32.79
Music, ministry, testimony,
00:01:32.82\00:01:35.39
how does God find a young man.
00:01:35.42\00:01:37.79
And you'll find out
where the Lord found him,
00:01:37.83\00:01:39.59
where the Lord lead
him, the changes in his life,
00:01:39.63\00:01:42.36
his music, how God
has taken this violin,
00:01:42.40\00:01:45.43
set it on fire with a heart
00:01:45.47\00:01:46.87
that's also on
fire for the Lord,
00:01:46.90\00:01:48.70
that's the kind of the
problem you don't want to miss.
00:01:48.74\00:01:50.24
If you have
children or young people
00:01:50.27\00:01:51.74
that are thinking about music,
00:01:51.77\00:01:53.31
I believe this program
will definitely inspire them
00:01:53.34\00:01:56.48
to consider that
God could use them
00:01:56.51\00:01:58.15
as the vessel of honor.
00:01:58.18\00:01:59.58
What ever the instrument,
00:01:59.61\00:02:01.02
the Lord wants to use
hearts that are willing,
00:02:01.05\00:02:02.58
and Jamie Jorge does
have that willing heart.
00:02:02.62\00:02:05.32
Want to thank you
also for your prayers
00:02:05.35\00:02:06.76
and your financial
support of this network,
00:02:06.79\00:02:08.69
3ABN believes we
are going and growing,
00:02:08.72\00:02:10.96
doing all that the
Lord places on our hearts,
00:02:10.99\00:02:12.93
getting ready for
the coming of Jesus.
00:02:12.96\00:02:14.83
And as you pray for
us and partner with us,
00:02:14.83\00:02:16.83
it makes it
possible by your prayers
00:02:16.87\00:02:18.83
and surely your
financial support,
00:02:18.87\00:02:20.70
and I must say
we deeply appreciate
00:02:20.74\00:02:22.84
whatever you do
for the cause of God
00:02:22.87\00:02:24.91
and for this network.
00:02:24.94\00:02:26.31
We are going to
dive right the interview,
00:02:26.34\00:02:27.68
since we are not
going to introduce
00:02:27.71\00:02:29.04
to music right away
00:02:29.08\00:02:30.41
because the musician is here.
00:02:30.45\00:02:31.88
Jamie, so good to have you here.
00:02:31.91\00:02:33.68
Thank you. It's
great to be back.
00:02:33.72\00:02:36.05
The studio looks great.
00:02:36.08\00:02:37.45
Yes, and you look
nice and casual today,
00:02:37.49\00:02:39.62
you kind of...
00:02:39.65\00:02:40.99
Well, you know, at some point
you have to relax a little bit.
00:02:41.02\00:02:43.53
Exactly.
00:02:43.59\00:02:44.93
And after being here,
and doing some recordings,
00:02:44.96\00:02:47.23
and some work and stuff,
00:02:47.30\00:02:48.60
may be it's just time
to chill a little bit, so.
00:02:48.63\00:02:50.63
You know, inevitably
there's somebody in our audience
00:02:50.70\00:02:52.87
that might say,
00:02:52.90\00:02:54.24
they're exited about
this but who is this guy?
00:02:54.27\00:02:56.20
So kindly give us a summery
of your humble beginnings
00:02:56.24\00:02:59.84
and what you do.
00:02:59.87\00:03:01.31
Well, since the age of five,
I've been playing the violin.
00:03:01.34\00:03:05.21
I grew up in a
communist country Cuba.
00:03:05.25\00:03:08.02
The Government
offered me a scholarship
00:03:08.05\00:03:09.88
when I was nine
years old to go to Russia
00:03:09.92\00:03:12.22
and study there in Moscow
at the Conservatory of Music.
00:03:12.25\00:03:15.39
They said, "It's the best
music school in the world,
00:03:15.42\00:03:18.03
you will be famous, your
family will have a better life.
00:03:18.06\00:03:21.40
All you have to do is
renounce your faith in God."
00:03:21.43\00:03:23.73
And I told them, "No."
00:03:23.77\00:03:25.47
And so they said, "Fine,
00:03:25.50\00:03:27.20
you're never going to
amount to be anything.
00:03:27.24\00:03:29.64
Good luck."
00:03:29.67\00:03:31.04
So, my whole life in many ways
00:03:31.07\00:03:33.17
I've been told
by different people,
00:03:33.21\00:03:35.14
"No you can't.
00:03:35.18\00:03:36.51
No you can't."
00:03:36.54\00:03:37.88
And one of my favorite
verses is Philippians 4:13,
00:03:37.91\00:03:40.52
"I can do all things
00:03:40.58\00:03:41.98
through Christ
who strengths me."
00:03:42.02\00:03:43.35
Amen.
00:03:43.39\00:03:44.72
And it's not just
anything or all things,
00:03:44.75\00:03:47.62
it's all things
that God want me to do.
00:03:47.66\00:03:49.39
That's right.
00:03:49.42\00:03:50.79
Because when we
do want we want to do
00:03:50.83\00:03:52.83
but it's not God's will,
00:03:52.86\00:03:55.06
we are not really
better off for it.
00:03:55.10\00:03:57.57
So, my desire
is to do all things
00:03:57.60\00:04:00.37
that God wants me to do
00:04:00.44\00:04:03.04
because He is the
one that strengthens me.
00:04:03.07\00:04:05.71
At the age of I
think, it was six or seven,
00:04:05.74\00:04:08.91
I was diagnosed
with rheumatic fever.
00:04:08.94\00:04:11.95
Back then, it was
the pre serious thing,
00:04:11.98\00:04:14.02
the doctor
said, he is never grow
00:04:14.05\00:04:16.32
to live past the teenage years.
00:04:16.35\00:04:19.59
My family came to
this country when I was 10,
00:04:19.62\00:04:22.46
I was diagnosed in 1990
00:04:22.49\00:04:25.66
with a very rare
disease at that time.
00:04:25.69\00:04:30.37
Ninety percent of the
people who had this died,
00:04:30.43\00:04:34.87
and yet, I was
in the 10 percent.
00:04:34.90\00:04:37.17
And so my whole life,
00:04:37.21\00:04:39.01
in things that have
happened and certain people
00:04:39.04\00:04:42.08
that have said to me,
"No, you cant, no, you wont."
00:04:42.11\00:04:45.55
And I say, we can do all
things that God wants us to do
00:04:45.58\00:04:50.09
through Him for
His honor and glory.
00:04:50.15\00:04:52.39
I like the way you
put that because it is,
00:04:52.42\00:04:54.12
if we are not
doing at Lord's will
00:04:54.16\00:04:56.26
then we're just using that
text to accomplish our own will.
00:04:56.29\00:04:58.76
Exactly, right. That's amazing.
00:04:58.79\00:05:00.23
That's the difference.
00:05:00.26\00:05:01.56
Continue. Praise
the Lord for that.
00:05:01.60\00:05:03.57
Now I have the opportunity
to continue to share music.
00:05:03.60\00:05:09.44
And you know how powerful
music is, being a musician.
00:05:09.47\00:05:13.04
How music breaks down barriers.
00:05:13.07\00:05:16.21
How it reaches hearts in
ways that word can't some times.
00:05:16.24\00:05:22.02
I have people come to
me in Churches and say,
00:05:22.05\00:05:24.32
"I probably would have
never come to this Church
00:05:24.35\00:05:26.49
to hear a sermon,
00:05:26.52\00:05:27.89
but somebody
invited me for a concert.
00:05:27.92\00:05:30.23
And I've given my heart
to Jesus Christ tonight."
00:05:30.26\00:05:33.06
So music opens doors,
00:05:33.09\00:05:34.93
it breaks down
barriers, it builds bridges.
00:05:34.93\00:05:37.67
And I use the violin,
00:05:37.70\00:05:40.74
an instrument that
sounds like the human voice
00:05:40.80\00:05:44.91
to share the love of Jesus.
00:05:44.94\00:05:47.04
And I've been to countries
like you know, Russia, Ukraine,
00:05:47.08\00:05:50.21
Czechoslovakia, Romania,
China, communist countries.
00:05:50.25\00:05:52.75
India.
00:05:52.78\00:05:54.12
India as well.
00:05:54.18\00:05:55.52
When I went to
some of these places
00:05:55.55\00:05:56.89
where you can't
preach the Gospel,
00:05:56.92\00:05:59.92
it's illegal or
highly discouraged.
00:05:59.95\00:06:02.59
And so we do
concerts with classical music.
00:06:02.62\00:06:05.76
But then half way through
00:06:05.79\00:06:07.13
I start
sneaking in the old names
00:06:07.13\00:06:09.13
and Gospel songs.
00:06:09.16\00:06:10.57
And people have
never heard these songs,
00:06:10.60\00:06:12.33
they're mesmerized.
00:06:12.37\00:06:13.74
I remember playing
the Hallelujah chorus
00:06:13.77\00:06:15.14
for the first time
in Moscow, in 1993,
00:06:15.17\00:06:19.01
people had never
heard it, they were crying.
00:06:19.04\00:06:22.44
And there been times when
I have just felt you know,
00:06:22.48\00:06:24.48
I've got to share my testimony,
I've got to share Jesus.
00:06:24.51\00:06:28.82
And then I make an invitation
then people come forward,
00:06:28.85\00:06:32.35
and I talk to them
00:06:32.39\00:06:33.76
and I find out
some of these folks
00:06:33.79\00:06:35.72
are under cover police officers
00:06:35.76\00:06:37.66
that the
Government sent to make sure
00:06:37.69\00:06:39.93
that nobody talked about God.
00:06:40.00\00:06:42.13
And yet, the whole
spirit had touched their hearts
00:06:42.16\00:06:44.87
and they have
come to Jesus Christ.
00:06:44.90\00:06:46.90
So, music is very powerful,
00:06:46.94\00:06:49.44
music is a
language, it's an avenue,
00:06:49.47\00:06:51.77
it's a way to reach people,
00:06:51.81\00:06:53.58
and I'm so exited
about the opportunity
00:06:53.64\00:06:56.71
to use that medium to
share Christ with others.
00:06:56.75\00:06:59.91
You know, you've an ambassador,
00:07:00.05\00:07:01.38
I could use that
word often times,
00:07:01.42\00:07:03.28
the word ambassador is misused.
00:07:03.32\00:07:04.82
But ambassador is one
00:07:04.85\00:07:06.29
who is sent to
represent a country.
00:07:06.32\00:07:08.62
And really, when you
go to a communist country
00:07:08.66\00:07:10.59
and you are Christian,
00:07:10.66\00:07:12.06
you have to find a
way as an ambassador
00:07:12.09\00:07:14.00
to not to hide your anonymity,
00:07:14.03\00:07:17.17
to not hide your
identity, I should say.
00:07:17.20\00:07:19.77
You are under cloak,
00:07:19.80\00:07:21.84
but you're
clearly visible to all
00:07:21.87\00:07:24.31
those who are
listening to the music.
00:07:24.34\00:07:26.34
When you mentioned
the Hallelujah chorus,
00:07:26.37\00:07:28.18
I thought to myself,
00:07:28.21\00:07:29.74
I wonder if he has one
on recording somewhere.
00:07:29.78\00:07:32.08
Of course.
00:07:32.11\00:07:33.45
And we're going to
talk about that in a moment,
00:07:33.52\00:07:35.22
but you have tremendous voice,
you work with Amazing Facts,
00:07:35.25\00:07:39.19
Asian Aid, we had
an opportunity to work
00:07:39.22\00:07:41.19
with Jim Rennie there.
00:07:41.22\00:07:42.56
I know, you went.
00:07:42.59\00:07:43.93
I saw the
program, it was fantastic.
00:07:43.96\00:07:45.29
And we walked some
of the same streets
00:07:45.33\00:07:47.23
in India together.
00:07:47.30\00:07:48.60
But it's just been a blessing.
00:07:48.63\00:07:49.96
I'm touched by
the music ministry
00:07:50.00\00:07:51.93
that you have and I've
seen you grow through the years.
00:07:51.97\00:07:55.30
And it's hard for those
who are listening and watching,
00:07:55.34\00:07:58.07
well, those who are watching
00:07:58.11\00:07:59.44
particularly on
this next reference,
00:07:59.47\00:08:01.28
to miss this violin
that's in front of us.
00:08:01.31\00:08:03.98
Talk about this
violin for a moment
00:08:04.01\00:08:05.75
because that is the voice.
00:08:05.78\00:08:08.05
And not only do you play
00:08:08.08\00:08:09.42
but you are very
good sports person.
00:08:09.45\00:08:11.19
I've listened to
you talked to audiences
00:08:11.22\00:08:13.39
between your songs and
your appeals about Jesus.
00:08:13.42\00:08:15.59
But just talk about
this violin for a moment,
00:08:15.62\00:08:18.03
this instrument that
the Lord has chosen for you
00:08:18.06\00:08:20.46
to communicate the Gospel.
00:08:20.53\00:08:22.20
Well, when my family
arrived in Chicago in 1983,
00:08:22.23\00:08:26.47
we went to somebody
that was recommended to us
00:08:26.50\00:08:29.54
by my violin
teacher to buy a violin.
00:08:29.57\00:08:33.14
And so we
brought a $1, 500 violin,
00:08:33.17\00:08:36.85
which was a lot of money for us.
00:08:36.88\00:08:38.21
That's true.
00:08:38.25\00:08:39.58
Now people may
hear this and say,
00:08:39.61\00:08:41.62
"Well, that's a lot of money."
00:08:41.65\00:08:42.98
And it is, but not for violin.
00:08:43.02\00:08:44.35
Not for violin.
00:08:44.39\00:08:45.72
When you consider
that some of the Strad,
00:08:45.75\00:08:47.09
various violins are selling
00:08:47.16\00:08:48.49
at for upwards of
$10 millions these days.
00:08:48.52\00:08:51.03
Wow.
00:08:51.06\00:08:52.39
$1,500 is not a lot.
00:08:52.43\00:08:53.80
But when you've
been in this country
00:08:53.83\00:08:55.13
for three years,
00:08:55.16\00:08:56.50
like my family had,
00:08:56.53\00:08:57.93
to come up with $1,
500 for an instrument,
00:08:57.97\00:09:00.67
you know, it was
quite a bit a money.
00:09:00.70\00:09:02.04
Oh, yeah.
00:09:02.07\00:09:03.41
And then a couple of years later
00:09:03.44\00:09:04.77
I upgraded to one that
was about double that amount.
00:09:04.81\00:09:08.28
And then I was in a high school,
00:09:08.31\00:09:11.01
I was in a college orchestra
while I was in high school,
00:09:11.05\00:09:15.15
and we were doing
an orchestra rehearsal.
00:09:15.18\00:09:17.92
And I had a seizure in
the middle of a rehearsal
00:09:17.95\00:09:21.19
and I fell forward
and I crushed my violin,
00:09:21.22\00:09:26.53
I mean, it was
in thousand pieces,
00:09:26.56\00:09:28.70
the violin was in.
00:09:28.73\00:09:30.17
And we didn't have insurance,
so we lost the entire thing.
00:09:30.20\00:09:35.07
And then, I began
raising funds for a new violin
00:09:35.10\00:09:40.18
and this was a huge,
00:09:40.21\00:09:42.18
huge improvement,
sacrifice, jump in price,
00:09:42.21\00:09:45.68
every thing else.
00:09:45.71\00:09:47.05
But you know, I think I want
this as the dream big dream.
00:09:47.12\00:09:50.09
That's right.
00:09:50.12\00:09:51.45
Again, not for
our glory but for Him.
00:09:51.49\00:09:54.29
And when we do, He
opens up the doors.
00:09:54.32\00:09:56.86
And he open up the door.
00:09:56.93\00:09:58.26
I've had this violin
now for close to 30 years.
00:09:58.29\00:10:00.83
Wow.
00:10:00.90\00:10:02.20
It's like a part of
my family, you know.
00:10:02.23\00:10:05.93
It's my companion when I
go alone on trips, you know,
00:10:05.97\00:10:09.30
And you take care of it, I mean,
00:10:09.34\00:10:10.67
I've watched you, you know,
00:10:10.71\00:10:12.41
when the room is full of
people and you know, your violin
00:10:12.44\00:10:14.71
when it's
acclimating to room temperature.
00:10:14.74\00:10:18.11
You keep your eye on that
00:10:18.15\00:10:19.48
and make sure that
nothing happens because really,
00:10:19.51\00:10:22.55
when you become one
with your instrument,
00:10:22.58\00:10:25.72
it doesn't have a
soul, it not alive,
00:10:25.75\00:10:28.72
but you can feel the nuances.
00:10:28.76\00:10:30.49
You have become
one with that board,
00:10:30.53\00:10:33.23
the strings, and just...
00:10:33.26\00:10:35.23
I could only imagine, when
I see you play that instrument
00:10:35.26\00:10:37.93
I equate it to a really, really
good singer that, you know,
00:10:37.97\00:10:43.34
there are some dynamic
singers out in the world.
00:10:43.37\00:10:44.87
But you could really
make that instrument sing.
00:10:44.91\00:10:46.71
And for those of you,
who are watching the program,
00:10:46.74\00:10:48.54
you're going to be bless today
to hear at least four songs,
00:10:48.58\00:10:51.88
four songs, you are
going to be bless hear.
00:10:51.91\00:10:53.45
So don't go away.
00:10:53.48\00:10:54.88
But tell us about
some of the people
00:10:54.92\00:10:56.52
that you've worked with.
00:10:56.55\00:10:57.89
I mean, you've...
00:10:57.92\00:10:59.25
I mentioned, you
know, Amazing Facts.
00:10:59.29\00:11:00.69
Defiantly the
3ABN family, Asian Aid,
00:11:00.76\00:11:02.16
but talk about
some of the artists
00:11:02.19\00:11:03.73
out in the broad Christian world
00:11:03.76\00:11:05.13
that you've been
blessed to be able to work with.
00:11:05.16\00:11:07.10
Well, I've been able to have
the opportunity to collaborate,
00:11:07.13\00:11:11.47
which is as you know
00:11:11.50\00:11:12.90
for musician is
the wonderful thing.
00:11:12.93\00:11:15.84
And there are people
that I consider close friends,
00:11:15.87\00:11:19.27
others that are just friends,
00:11:19.31\00:11:20.64
other that are
just acquaintances.
00:11:20.68\00:11:24.25
But people like Larnelle Harris,
00:11:24.28\00:11:25.88
who in my opinion is perhaps
the greatest Gospel singer
00:11:25.91\00:11:28.08
of all times.
00:11:28.12\00:11:29.45
One of the best
tenners out there.
00:11:29.48\00:11:30.85
For sure.
00:11:30.89\00:11:32.22
Somebody like a John
Stoddart who can do so much.
00:11:32.25\00:11:35.46
And another plain
00:11:35.49\00:11:36.99
I've had the opportunity
to be on the same stage
00:11:37.03\00:11:39.23
with a guy like David Foster,
00:11:39.26\00:11:41.36
who has produced some
of the greatest you know,
00:11:41.40\00:11:43.80
musicians, and recordings,
and artists out there.
00:11:43.83\00:11:47.17
And then somebody
like a Michael Card
00:11:47.20\00:11:49.30
who has written so
many meaningful songs
00:11:49.34\00:11:53.31
that focus on Jesus Christ.
00:11:53.34\00:11:56.18
Those are
musically and artistically
00:11:56.21\00:11:58.51
of course, highlights.
00:11:58.55\00:11:59.88
You can imagine of my life
00:11:59.95\00:12:01.95
to be able to work with
some of these musicians.
00:12:01.98\00:12:03.69
There are other
people Sandi Patty,
00:12:03.72\00:12:05.05
Heritage singers, I
mean, so many other.
00:12:05.09\00:12:06.42
John Lomacang.
00:12:06.45\00:12:07.79
We did a,
remember, we did together.
00:12:07.82\00:12:09.16
Oh, that's right.
00:12:09.19\00:12:10.53
Touch of The Master's
Hands, several years ago.
00:12:10.56\00:12:13.03
That was at Roy
Rogers Auditorium Yeah.
00:12:13.06\00:12:15.40
So these are just highlights
00:12:15.43\00:12:17.97
that feed you as a musician
to be able to work with,
00:12:18.00\00:12:20.90
other very talented individuals
00:12:20.94\00:12:23.04
and people that have
dedicated their talents
00:12:23.07\00:12:25.61
for God's honor and
glory, which is very important.
00:12:25.64\00:12:27.64
I want to segue
into one of these songs
00:12:27.68\00:12:29.74
that we're going to now
introduce to our audience.
00:12:29.78\00:12:31.85
Talk about that song El Shaddai,
00:12:31.88\00:12:33.48
and the person
that's going to be,
00:12:33.52\00:12:35.68
both of you that are
going to be playing together
00:12:35.72\00:12:37.09
because he's such a
accomplish musician,
00:12:37.15\00:12:39.42
it would not be appropriate
to say accompanying you,
00:12:39.45\00:12:42.12
you can talk about this.
00:12:42.16\00:12:43.49
No, I'm not accompanying him.
00:12:43.53\00:12:44.99
But you know El Shaddai
00:12:45.03\00:12:46.86
is the most popular
contemporary Christian song
00:12:46.90\00:12:49.60
of all time.
00:12:49.63\00:12:51.63
And I truly believe that
Michael Card was inspired
00:12:51.67\00:12:54.97
by God and the Holy spirit
00:12:55.00\00:12:56.34
to write that
song that reminds us
00:12:56.37\00:12:58.81
our wonderful savior.
00:12:58.84\00:13:00.88
You know, we are
here by God's grace
00:13:00.91\00:13:04.35
and the gift of
salvation is free to anybody
00:13:04.38\00:13:07.52
because of what
Jesus did for you and me.
00:13:07.55\00:13:10.42
And this song was
a part of the concert
00:13:10.49\00:13:12.59
that I did couple of years ago
00:13:12.62\00:13:14.16
and now to celebrate 25
years of music ministry.
00:13:14.19\00:13:16.83
And I invited
some of these friends
00:13:16.86\00:13:18.89
and wonderful musicians
to come and be a part of it.
00:13:18.93\00:13:21.63
And so I'm excited
that we get to share it now.
00:13:21.66\00:13:23.33
Wow.
00:13:23.37\00:13:24.70
So, be blessed as you
listen to the song El Shaddai.
00:13:24.73\00:13:27.54
Okay, if you
clapped you have to sing
00:13:39.98\00:13:42.62
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:13:42.65\00:13:47.32
El-elyon na adonai
00:13:47.36\00:13:51.79
Age to age you're still the same
00:13:51.83\00:13:56.33
By the power of the name
00:13:56.36\00:14:01.04
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:14:01.07\00:14:05.64
Erkamka na adonai
00:14:05.67\00:14:10.18
We will praise and lift you high
00:14:10.25\00:14:14.88
El shaddai
00:14:14.92\00:14:19.42
Through your love
and through the ram
00:14:19.45\00:14:23.93
You saved the son of Abraham
00:14:23.96\00:14:28.43
And by the power of your hand
00:14:28.46\00:14:33.13
Turned the sea into dry land
00:14:33.17\00:14:37.71
To the outcast on her knees
00:14:37.74\00:14:42.08
You were the God who really sees
00:14:42.11\00:14:47.58
And by your might
00:14:47.62\00:14:49.72
You set your children free
00:14:49.75\00:14:54.29
Ready.
00:14:54.32\00:14:55.86
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:14:55.89\00:15:00.53
El-elyon na adonai
00:15:00.56\00:15:04.97
Age to age you're still the same
00:15:05.00\00:15:09.50
By the power of the name
00:15:09.54\00:15:14.01
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:15:14.08\00:15:18.65
Erkamka na adonai
00:15:18.68\00:15:23.15
We will praise and lift you high
00:15:23.18\00:15:27.86
El shaddai
00:15:27.89\00:15:32.46
Through the years
you've made it clear
00:15:32.49\00:15:37.23
That the time of Christ was near
00:15:37.27\00:15:41.70
Though the people failed to see
00:15:41.74\00:15:45.81
What messiah ought to be
00:15:45.84\00:15:50.21
And though your
word contained the plan
00:15:50.25\00:15:54.92
They just could not understand
00:15:54.95\00:15:59.92
Your most awesome work was done
00:15:59.95\00:16:04.69
Through the frailty of your son
00:16:04.73\00:16:11.00
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:16:11.03\00:16:15.94
El-elyon na adonai
00:16:15.97\00:16:20.61
Age to age you're still the same
00:16:20.68\00:16:25.18
By the power of the name
00:16:25.21\00:16:29.92
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:16:29.95\00:16:34.46
Erkamka na adonai
00:16:34.49\00:16:39.09
We will praise and lift you high
00:16:39.13\00:16:43.83
El shaddai.
00:16:43.87\00:16:48.24
We will praise and lift you high
00:16:48.27\00:16:52.94
El shaddai.
00:16:52.97\00:16:54.84
Isn't that a wonderful song
00:17:05.95\00:17:07.29
by the artists
collaborating together,
00:17:07.32\00:17:11.16
Michael Card, what a writer.
00:17:11.19\00:17:14.36
And Jamie, was blessed
to be able to accompany him.
00:17:14.40\00:17:18.40
You not only did
that with the studio here
00:17:18.43\00:17:21.34
and the concert
00:17:21.37\00:17:22.70
but you play
together in the same venue.
00:17:22.74\00:17:25.54
That's amazing.
00:17:25.57\00:17:26.91
And into the
background you saw a young man
00:17:26.98\00:17:28.54
which you'll get to find out,
but his name is John Stoddart.
00:17:28.58\00:17:31.85
When we talk about that--
we are listening to the song,
00:17:31.88\00:17:34.65
an accomplish
musician in and of himself.
00:17:34.68\00:17:38.39
And one other things we talk
about when people are geniuses,
00:17:38.42\00:17:41.76
I like that point, you know,
00:17:41.79\00:17:43.12
there are some master musicians
00:17:43.16\00:17:45.96
that they can be
in the dark place
00:17:45.99\00:17:49.93
with just them
and their instrument
00:17:49.96\00:17:51.63
and the sheet of music,
00:17:51.67\00:17:53.00
but don't put them
in the societal setting
00:17:53.03\00:17:54.44
because they don't
function very well.
00:17:54.47\00:17:56.14
That's not the
truth about John Stoddart,
00:17:56.17\00:17:57.81
what a balanced man.
00:17:57.84\00:17:59.17
John is amazing.
00:17:59.21\00:18:00.61
And I think
00:18:00.64\00:18:01.98
it's because he
has dedicated his life
00:18:02.01\00:18:03.78
for God's honor and glory.
00:18:03.81\00:18:05.41
I have no doubt, Pastor John,
00:18:05.45\00:18:07.38
that if John was
doing what he does for God,
00:18:07.45\00:18:11.65
for the world, he would
be making a lot more money.
00:18:11.69\00:18:15.86
You know, he'd would have
a lot of fame, all the stuff.
00:18:15.89\00:18:18.69
But God has
blessed him regardless.
00:18:18.73\00:18:21.80
And he has made and
he's making a huge impact
00:18:21.83\00:18:24.27
in the lives of people,
and that's what its all about.
00:18:24.30\00:18:27.04
You know, we
can't take our money,
00:18:27.07\00:18:28.77
we can't take our positions.
00:18:28.80\00:18:30.24
Can't take it with you.
00:18:30.31\00:18:31.64
What we'll leave really behind
you know, if we're not around,
00:18:31.67\00:18:35.71
when we're not around anymore
if Jesus doesn't come back.
00:18:35.74\00:18:38.65
It's more important to me anyway
00:18:38.68\00:18:40.72
to leave a crop
of young violinists
00:18:40.75\00:18:43.92
who are excited
about using their talents
00:18:43.99\00:18:46.19
for God's honor and glory.
00:18:46.22\00:18:47.72
And it is about creating
a certain amount of fame
00:18:47.76\00:18:50.13
or fortune and this
and that, the other.
00:18:50.16\00:18:52.46
Because, when you're
gone that's all gone too.
00:18:52.49\00:18:55.80
You know, unfortunately,
00:18:55.83\00:18:57.17
just recently there's a very
popular, secular artist Prince,
00:18:57.23\00:19:01.74
who had so many
religious influences,
00:19:01.77\00:19:04.34
early Adventist,
and Jehovah's Witnesses.
00:19:04.37\00:19:06.84
And when they
close your eyes in death
00:19:06.91\00:19:09.61
they could leave an anthology
00:19:09.64\00:19:10.98
that just would
go on for decades
00:19:11.01\00:19:12.75
and you know, how
the long the world lasts.
00:19:12.78\00:19:15.85
But what you, the
seed you sowed in your life
00:19:15.88\00:19:19.22
are the seeds that are going to,
00:19:19.25\00:19:20.59
as the Bible says,
"they rest from their labors,
00:19:20.62\00:19:23.22
" speaking of the Christian,
"and their works follow them."
00:19:23.26\00:19:25.53
So that's the
wonderful thing about it.
00:19:25.56\00:19:26.93
And that song El Shaddai,
00:19:26.96\00:19:28.26
getting back to the
song that was just done,
00:19:28.30\00:19:29.63
Amy Grant was the one
00:19:29.66\00:19:31.00
that we all
remember singing that song.
00:19:31.03\00:19:32.37
Of course, she made it huge.
00:19:32.40\00:19:33.74
She made it a powerful song.
00:19:33.77\00:19:35.10
Talk about this
next song, Meditation.
00:19:35.14\00:19:37.77
You know we live in a world,
00:19:37.81\00:19:40.08
I know it's like that
for you as it is for me,
00:19:40.11\00:19:43.01
where we are
constantly plugged in,
00:19:43.04\00:19:45.48
our phones, our computers,
the internet, the sounds,
00:19:45.51\00:19:50.22
the buzzes, all of that stuff.
00:19:50.29\00:19:53.76
And I don't know I can
imagine your days like mine,
00:19:53.79\00:19:57.13
from the moment we wake up
till the moment we go to sleep
00:19:57.16\00:19:59.53
there is some thing to
do and it doesn't stop.
00:19:59.56\00:20:02.56
And if you have a, you know,
00:20:02.60\00:20:03.93
things-to-do
list with 50 things,
00:20:03.97\00:20:05.93
by the time you
crossed out three or four
00:20:05.97\00:20:08.24
you've already add another 20.
00:20:08.27\00:20:10.37
And it just never ends.
00:20:10.41\00:20:12.67
And one other things
that I think is so important
00:20:12.71\00:20:15.18
as Christians is
for us to take time away
00:20:15.21\00:20:18.45
from the busyness of all of that
00:20:18.48\00:20:20.78
and connect our power
cord to the power source
00:20:20.82\00:20:24.95
and spend time in study,
00:20:24.99\00:20:26.65
in prayer, in
meditation, and in song.
00:20:26.72\00:20:30.59
You know, people ask me,
00:20:30.63\00:20:31.96
do you still like
to play the same songs
00:20:31.99\00:20:34.96
over and over again?
00:20:35.00\00:20:36.33
I still have times
00:20:36.36\00:20:38.53
when I just sit and play
by myself to praise the lord.
00:20:38.57\00:20:43.54
It's part of my
worship time, you know.
00:20:43.57\00:20:46.71
And we need to take that time.
00:20:46.74\00:20:49.91
And so this song,
00:20:49.98\00:20:51.68
the classical piece
called Meditation from Thais
00:20:51.71\00:20:55.48
is almost like a
take a deep breath, relax,
00:20:55.52\00:21:00.36
and just time
out you know, unplug,
00:21:00.39\00:21:03.73
disconnect and spend
some time with the Lord.
00:21:03.76\00:21:07.00
Is there anyone
accompanying you on this?
00:21:07.03\00:21:08.36
Is anyone playing
with you on this one?
00:21:08.40\00:21:09.73
John Stoddart.
00:21:09.76\00:21:11.10
Okay, you are
going to be blessed.
00:21:11.13\00:21:12.90
Here is the song, Meditation.
00:21:12.93\00:21:14.94
That song takes you to places
00:26:15.47\00:26:17.01
that you did not know
existed until you heard it.
00:26:17.04\00:26:19.97
And I went through a
number of location changes
00:26:20.01\00:26:22.64
during that song.
00:26:22.68\00:26:24.05
I was first in you know,
00:26:24.08\00:26:25.41
beautiful setting
where the sun was rising
00:26:25.45\00:26:27.42
and the dew was
still on the grass,
00:26:27.45\00:26:28.92
and it was a beautiful morning
00:26:28.95\00:26:30.29
where all the nature
was singing, the trees.
00:26:30.32\00:26:32.92
And then when you,
00:26:32.95\00:26:34.59
you took me to Germany
during a cold time of the year,
00:26:34.62\00:26:37.26
during the oppression
00:26:37.33\00:26:38.96
that country
experienced in Poland.
00:26:38.99\00:26:41.50
And then you brought me
back to a wedding ceremony.
00:26:41.53\00:26:44.07
It's amazing.
00:26:44.13\00:26:45.47
Tell us, talk about
that song, who wrote that,
00:26:45.50\00:26:47.34
who composed that song.
00:26:47.40\00:26:48.74
A French composer,
00:26:48.77\00:26:50.67
Jules Massenet wrote
it as part of an opera.
00:26:50.71\00:26:54.58
And this is
probably the most popular
00:26:54.61\00:26:57.41
and well known of the
pieces Meditation from Thais.
00:26:57.45\00:27:03.72
Speaking of what you just said,
00:27:03.75\00:27:06.45
music is very powerful that
way in allowing us to travel
00:27:06.49\00:27:11.86
all over the world basically,
and yet, we are right here.
00:27:11.89\00:27:15.00
The first time I
recorded that song was 1987,
00:27:15.03\00:27:18.70
and that were that
piece, I should say,
00:27:18.73\00:27:20.34
we were in Long
Island, New York.
00:27:20.37\00:27:22.64
And I went to a studio
00:27:22.67\00:27:26.01
where most of the stuff
00:27:26.04\00:27:27.38
they did was
Rock 'n' Roll music,
00:27:27.41\00:27:28.98
and the engineer was
pretty much you know,
00:27:29.01\00:27:31.15
kind of that long
hair and all that stuff.
00:27:31.18\00:27:33.92
And so I think
he had a hard time
00:27:33.95\00:27:35.78
with classical and Gospel
songs that we were recording.
00:27:35.82\00:27:39.62
And back then you can
remember and appreciate this,
00:27:39.65\00:27:42.86
they had a reel to reel tape.
00:27:42.89\00:27:44.23
Oh, yeah.
00:27:44.26\00:27:45.59
And you know, if you messed up,
00:27:45.63\00:27:47.00
you had to start
from the beginning,
00:27:47.03\00:27:48.33
none of the stuff today
00:27:48.36\00:27:49.70
where you just sing a
phrase and you go back,
00:27:49.73\00:27:51.47
you just had to do
the whole thing all over.
00:27:51.50\00:27:53.60
So you record it and
if you didn't want it
00:27:53.64\00:27:55.44
you know, go back,
take two and take three
00:27:55.47\00:27:57.91
until you got the right one.
00:27:57.94\00:27:59.31
And it could
take hours you know.
00:27:59.34\00:28:01.98
Anyway, when we did this
piece, the guy fell asleep,
00:28:02.01\00:28:07.78
the engineer did,
00:28:07.82\00:28:09.18
and when the
piece was over I said,
00:28:09.22\00:28:11.95
"Bob, I want to do this again."
00:28:11.99\00:28:13.32
And you know, he kind of
jumped back up into his seat
00:28:13.39\00:28:15.96
and said, "Okay, lets do
it, Medication, take two."
00:28:15.99\00:28:20.83
The piece put him to sleep
00:28:20.86\00:28:22.53
so he associate it
not with meditation
00:28:22.56\00:28:25.07
but with medication.
00:28:25.10\00:28:27.24
But it can't be medicating
00:28:27.27\00:28:28.90
to listen to something
so beautiful and relaxing
00:28:28.94\00:28:31.21
when we're so used
to just go, go, go.
00:28:31.24\00:28:33.48
You know, I
commented how a song like that,
00:28:33.51\00:28:35.31
in the subway of New York city
00:28:35.34\00:28:37.55
with a nice pair of Bose
noise cancelling headsets.
00:28:37.58\00:28:41.22
It's not a commercial
for Bose. That's right.
00:28:41.25\00:28:43.05
But could really transport
you to different place.
00:28:43.08\00:28:45.59
And what do you need
in the city like New York?
00:28:45.62\00:28:47.86
You need peace.
00:28:47.89\00:28:49.22
So did you
record this, by the way?
00:28:49.26\00:28:51.26
Is it on any of
your new projects?
00:28:51.29\00:28:52.66
Yes, like that
25th anniversary DVD,
00:28:52.69\00:28:55.26
that El Shaddai
was part of it as well.
00:28:55.30\00:28:57.07
Okay, good.
00:28:57.13\00:28:58.47
So some of the songs you've done
00:28:58.50\00:28:59.83
that far is on one project?
00:28:59.87\00:29:01.27
Yeah, and obviously,
00:29:01.30\00:29:02.64
we recorded in
the studio right here,
00:29:02.67\00:29:04.14
the violin part and
then we go back in forth
00:29:04.17\00:29:06.47
between the video
footage and the live studio.
00:29:06.51\00:29:10.18
Now these two songs El Shaddai,
00:29:10.21\00:29:12.15
one of the most
popular Christian songs,
00:29:12.18\00:29:14.62
this French compose
song, Medication, Meditation.
00:29:14.65\00:29:18.92
I'm not going to
figure that for long time.
00:29:18.95\00:29:20.79
But then Turn
Your Eyes Upon Jesus,
00:29:20.82\00:29:22.52
now the song that
it's in the hymnal,
00:29:22.56\00:29:24.29
we've sung that for years.
00:29:24.36\00:29:25.69
But what impact has
that song had on you?
00:29:25.73\00:29:27.60
Because I know that
you don't play things
00:29:27.66\00:29:29.03
that don't
misters to you either.
00:29:29.06\00:29:30.40
Right. Talk about that.
00:29:30.47\00:29:32.20
You know, that song
helps me to remember
00:29:32.23\00:29:38.47
that what we do, what you do,
00:29:38.51\00:29:41.18
what I do isn't for
our own glory and gain
00:29:41.21\00:29:45.95
it's for the glory of Jesus
00:29:45.98\00:29:48.65
and the honor of
God and His kingdom.
00:29:48.68\00:29:50.82
And as you know,
being a musicians
00:29:50.89\00:29:53.05
and being up front
00:29:53.09\00:29:54.42
you can some
times lose your focus.
00:29:54.46\00:29:57.76
Because, people meanwhile,
00:29:57.79\00:29:59.13
they come up and
give you a compliment,
00:29:59.16\00:30:01.83
but there have been
many times in my life
00:30:01.86\00:30:03.63
when I start to
let that go to my head.
00:30:03.67\00:30:06.80
And I started to think, what?
00:30:06.84\00:30:08.50
I am pretty good, aren't I?
00:30:08.54\00:30:09.90
You know, I'm alright.
00:30:09.97\00:30:11.31
And you start
to look at yourself
00:30:11.34\00:30:12.91
or focus on
yourself more than God.
00:30:12.94\00:30:15.48
And this song is just a
gentle reminder, you know.
00:30:15.51\00:30:20.48
Look at Jesus
Christ, He is our focus,
00:30:20.52\00:30:24.39
he is what we
need to be fixed on,
00:30:24.42\00:30:28.92
and when we do every thing
else will fall by the way side,
00:30:28.96\00:30:33.86
every thing will
grow strangely dim,
00:30:33.90\00:30:37.30
and we will be able to
appreciate His magnificence,
00:30:37.33\00:30:42.17
His grace, His power and glory.
00:30:42.20\00:30:44.61
And so that song does
that to me and for me,
00:30:44.64\00:30:49.14
so that's why I
want to share it.
00:30:49.18\00:30:50.61
All right, Turn
Your Eyes Upon Jesus,
00:30:50.68\00:30:52.81
allow the Lord to speak to you
00:30:52.85\00:30:54.55
through this
wonderful meditative piece.
00:30:54.58\00:30:56.92
Thank you once
again, Jamie, for that song,
00:34:02.47\00:34:04.14
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.
00:34:04.21\00:34:05.77
You know, you made a
very good point as the person
00:34:05.81\00:34:08.48
who's always in the public eye
00:34:08.51\00:34:09.94
and we all have that blessing
00:34:09.98\00:34:12.25
of being able to
minister for the Lord.
00:34:12.28\00:34:13.65
But I said to people...
00:34:13.72\00:34:15.05
Responsibility as well.
00:34:15.08\00:34:16.42
The responsibility is amazing.
00:34:16.45\00:34:18.15
A professor down at one
of our schools in Tennessee,
00:34:18.19\00:34:21.79
Seventh-day
Adventist University,
00:34:21.82\00:34:24.49
gave me book about
how to handle compliments.
00:34:24.53\00:34:28.10
Because you know, sometimes
people will compliment as an,
00:34:28.13\00:34:30.83
instead of bouncing the
glory back to God, truly,
00:34:30.87\00:34:34.30
you have to make
sure that our heads
00:34:34.34\00:34:36.24
can fit through the
door with our bodies.
00:34:36.27\00:34:38.24
But that's a very good point,
00:34:38.27\00:34:39.61
reflecting the glory back to God
00:34:39.64\00:34:41.08
because the
instrument, both of you,
00:34:41.11\00:34:43.18
are instruments
in the hand of God.
00:34:43.21\00:34:45.38
You're involved in a
number of organizations,
00:34:45.41\00:34:48.32
but before I get down
00:34:48.35\00:34:49.68
to the Healing Music Foundation,
00:34:49.72\00:34:52.72
talk about your wife Rachelle.
00:34:52.75\00:34:55.69
Well, you know, all
of us go through things,
00:34:55.72\00:34:59.79
some of them are
more public than others,
00:34:59.83\00:35:02.83
some of them are more,
more private than others.
00:35:02.86\00:35:05.70
And one of the greatest
heart breaks, and sorrows,
00:35:05.73\00:35:11.81
and negative
experiences in my life
00:35:11.84\00:35:14.18
is getting divorced
over 12 years ago now.
00:35:14.21\00:35:18.55
And for people who
have gone through that,
00:35:18.58\00:35:21.28
it can seem like
you'd just rather die.
00:35:21.32\00:35:25.72
It's so painful,
it's so destructive
00:35:25.75\00:35:28.59
because you're so
much damage associated.
00:35:28.62\00:35:30.99
Now I understand
00:35:31.03\00:35:32.36
why in the bible
over and over again,
00:35:32.39\00:35:33.90
it's says that
God hates divorce.
00:35:33.93\00:35:36.36
Now its not a death sentence
00:35:36.40\00:35:38.23
but because when
a family is split,
00:35:38.27\00:35:42.10
so many people
are affected by it,
00:35:42.14\00:35:45.17
that's why there so much
damage that can take place.
00:35:45.21\00:35:48.14
We dint have any kids,
00:35:48.18\00:35:50.25
but it was still
extremely painful
00:35:50.31\00:35:51.85
for both of us.
00:35:51.88\00:35:53.21
And I got to the
point where I said,
00:35:53.25\00:35:55.32
"I'm never
getting married again."
00:35:55.35\00:35:56.75
I said that to my
mother several years ago.
00:35:56.79\00:35:59.19
I said her, "Mom, I am
just gonna marry my violin."
00:35:59.22\00:36:03.06
I said, "Look,
she has nice curves
00:36:03.09\00:36:06.96
and only she talks
back when I tell her to."
00:36:07.03\00:36:10.07
So I said to my
mom, and she said, "Son,
00:36:10.10\00:36:13.47
you can do whatever you
want but don't limit God
00:36:13.54\00:36:16.47
if He wants to do something
different in your life."
00:36:16.50\00:36:20.01
And I get to the
point where you know,
00:36:20.08\00:36:22.71
I had gone through so much pain
00:36:22.74\00:36:24.38
and I had such a
void in my heart.
00:36:24.41\00:36:28.12
And I looked to feel that void,
00:36:28.15\00:36:30.99
but it was when I
learned through allow God
00:36:31.02\00:36:33.76
to fill the
empty spaces in my life
00:36:33.79\00:36:36.86
and in my heart
that all of a sudden
00:36:36.93\00:36:40.33
He brought
somebody into my life.
00:36:40.40\00:36:43.10
And I met her in 2000,
in July, Washington DC,
00:36:43.13\00:36:47.24
nothing really happened actually
00:36:47.30\00:36:49.64
for nearly three years.
00:36:49.67\00:36:53.68
And then all of a
sudden in November of 2012,
00:36:53.74\00:36:58.81
we reconnected
00:36:58.85\00:37:00.98
and nine months
later we married.
00:37:01.02\00:37:03.42
So we're going on our
third year of honeymoon
00:37:03.45\00:37:06.79
in July.
00:37:06.82\00:37:08.32
But I had a hard time
00:37:08.36\00:37:11.56
making that
decision to get married
00:37:11.59\00:37:14.10
because Rachelle used to be
00:37:14.13\00:37:15.46
a professional
women's football player.
00:37:15.50\00:37:17.40
Wow.
00:37:17.47\00:37:18.80
And I didn't even
know that the sport existed
00:37:18.83\00:37:20.44
when I met her, you know.
00:37:20.47\00:37:21.97
And then I saw pictures of her
00:37:22.00\00:37:23.51
and I looked up
her career, statistics,
00:37:23.54\00:37:26.44
she had been a running
backer and a line backer.
00:37:26.47\00:37:29.24
In fact, she was recently
voted into the Hall of Fame...
00:37:29.28\00:37:34.02
Football.
00:37:34.05\00:37:35.38
Yeah, to the women's
Hall of Fame of her team.
00:37:35.42\00:37:37.72
That's her running.
00:37:37.75\00:37:39.09
The DCB, yes. Wow.
00:37:39.12\00:37:40.56
And her signature move,
00:37:40.59\00:37:41.92
as you see in these
photographs was the stiff arm.
00:37:41.96\00:37:44.46
Oh, I see it, yeah.
00:37:44.49\00:37:45.83
But this stiff arm
wasn't just on the field,
00:37:45.86\00:37:48.10
that was off the field as well.
00:37:48.13\00:37:50.33
She was a legend,
She played 11 years,
00:37:50.37\00:37:53.30
rushed for 14,000 yards.
00:37:53.34\00:37:55.04
Wow.
00:37:55.07\00:37:56.40
And when I saw this
picture, man, I said,
00:37:56.44\00:37:59.14
is she gonna run me
over if I do something
00:37:59.17\00:38:01.01
she doesn't like?
00:38:01.04\00:38:02.38
So before we got married
I made a promise to the God,
00:38:02.41\00:38:06.45
which is that I would always
do everything that she says.
00:38:06.48\00:38:08.75
Okay.
00:38:08.78\00:38:10.12
You know as a result
it's worked out wonderfully.
00:38:10.15\00:38:12.59
She said to me,
00:38:12.62\00:38:13.99
"Honey, can we get
married at the beach?"
00:38:14.02\00:38:15.36
I said, "Of course."
00:38:15.39\00:38:16.73
And when am home
doing the week and she says,
00:38:16.76\00:38:18.53
"Darling, the floors are dirty,
the dishes need to be wash,
00:38:18.56\00:38:21.56
the trashes..."
00:38:21.60\00:38:22.93
"Baby, I got it,
00:38:22.96\00:38:24.30
you don't have to
say another word."
00:38:24.33\00:38:25.67
Because you know I
believe in the expression
00:38:25.70\00:38:27.17
'happy wife, happy life.'
00:38:27.24\00:38:29.57
And she has a passion
for health and fitness.
00:38:29.60\00:38:33.48
She has continued to
exercise, and workout
00:38:33.51\00:38:37.05
and her eating
habits at home are great.
00:38:37.08\00:38:42.12
We eat organic, and
healthy, and raw foods,
00:38:42.15\00:38:45.09
and she has a way of making
healthy food taste fantastic.
00:38:45.12\00:38:50.23
That's good.
00:38:50.26\00:38:51.59
That's kind of
knock on healthy food
00:38:51.63\00:38:52.99
as well you know, you're
eating a bunch of herb...
00:38:53.03\00:38:55.53
Cardboard.
00:38:55.56\00:38:56.93
No, no, no, she
can make this stuff
00:38:56.97\00:38:58.90
taste like filet mignon,
you know, and it's all healthy.
00:38:58.93\00:39:03.04
Its just been a great blessing.
00:39:03.07\00:39:04.74
We're a team when we
travel together sometimes,
00:39:04.77\00:39:08.18
we'll share our story
together and encourage people.
00:39:08.21\00:39:11.71
So when we go
through things in life
00:39:11.75\00:39:16.28
and we go through
these negative experiences
00:39:16.32\00:39:18.72
we need to
continue to trust in God.
00:39:18.75\00:39:20.82
Because even though we
go through these issues,
00:39:20.89\00:39:24.19
these challenges, God
doesn't just have plan A,
00:39:24.26\00:39:28.40
He's got all the way
to plan Z for our lives.
00:39:28.43\00:39:31.27
We can mess up
God's plan but He can do,
00:39:31.30\00:39:35.14
He can do great things,
00:39:35.17\00:39:37.11
you know, with us
and for us anyway.
00:39:37.14\00:39:38.87
That's right,
Jaime, "I know the plans
00:39:38.91\00:39:41.01
I have for you."
00:39:41.04\00:39:42.41
And that's amazing
when you think about
00:39:42.44\00:39:43.78
what happens in your life
00:39:43.85\00:39:45.18
after you've done,
been doing, you do.
00:39:45.21\00:39:46.55
How many years have
you been in music industry
00:39:46.58\00:39:47.92
as a violinist?
00:39:47.95\00:39:49.28
Twenty eight. Okay.
00:39:49.32\00:39:50.65
When you think
about those 28 years,
00:39:50.69\00:39:52.02
you think that God saw this.
00:39:52.05\00:39:53.39
And then, orchestrated
through difficulties,
00:39:53.42\00:39:56.93
through
hardships, through success,
00:39:56.96\00:39:58.49
through failures.
00:39:58.53\00:39:59.86
And it pleases God to see that
00:39:59.89\00:40:02.90
He has thoughts that
He thinks towards you,
00:40:02.93\00:40:05.07
not of evil but a
piece to give you a future
00:40:05.10\00:40:07.87
and a hope.
00:40:07.90\00:40:09.24
And that is not just
in your musical ministry
00:40:09.27\00:40:10.91
but to bring somebody
as wonderful as Rachelle
00:40:10.94\00:40:12.54
into your life.
00:40:12.57\00:40:13.94
Anymore pictures of her?
00:40:13.98\00:40:16.14
Not this time around.
00:40:16.18\00:40:17.51
We'll do it for the
next time. How's that?
00:40:17.55\00:40:18.95
Maybe I can bring her
and she can, she can...
00:40:18.98\00:40:21.05
I think that would be wonderful.
00:40:21.08\00:40:22.48
You know you made a
very good segue point there
00:40:22.52\00:40:25.09
being a football player,
running back with stiff arm.
00:40:25.12\00:40:27.79
And that's good.
00:40:27.82\00:40:29.59
I am sure you're gonna
make sure that any touch downs,
00:40:29.62\00:40:32.83
you'll be on her team.
00:40:32.86\00:40:34.46
That's right. That's right.
00:40:34.50\00:40:35.83
That's the good thing.
00:40:35.86\00:40:37.20
Because you're
both, and it fits here,
00:40:37.23\00:40:39.70
pressing toward
the mark for the gold,
00:40:39.73\00:40:41.87
for the upward call
of God and Christ Jesus.
00:40:41.90\00:40:44.04
And it's so good to
have a mate to do that.
00:40:44.07\00:40:45.81
My wife and I have that...
00:40:45.84\00:40:47.71
What a blessing.
00:40:47.74\00:40:49.08
Thirty three
years you said, right?
00:40:49.11\00:40:50.48
Thirty three years of marriage.
00:40:50.51\00:40:51.85
And she also has
that wonderful skill
00:40:51.88\00:40:53.95
of making vegetarian food
with that Jamaican flavoring.
00:40:53.98\00:40:57.79
Come on.
00:40:57.82\00:40:59.15
You know, so we'll have you in.
00:40:59.19\00:41:00.66
And you do
everything she says too, right?
00:41:00.69\00:41:02.69
'Cause you spent 33 happy
years and you're a smart man.
00:41:02.72\00:41:06.26
Praise the
Lord, praise the Lord.
00:41:06.29\00:41:08.13
We are smart man, you know,
00:41:08.16\00:41:09.66
certain things do
come with the experience.
00:41:09.70\00:41:11.03
Yes.
00:41:11.07\00:41:12.40
Before we go to
the last song you have,
00:41:12.43\00:41:14.00
talk about the
Healing Music Foundation
00:41:14.04\00:41:18.51
You know, one of the things,
as we talked about before
00:41:18.54\00:41:20.78
that I think about
00:41:20.84\00:41:22.18
because I've
been at this 28 years.
00:41:22.21\00:41:23.55
Yes.
00:41:23.58\00:41:24.91
By the way, if I could
have looked 28 years ago
00:41:24.95\00:41:28.82
to see what has happened
00:41:28.85\00:41:30.19
if God would let
us see the future,
00:41:30.25\00:41:32.29
I don't think I
could have handled it.
00:41:32.32\00:41:33.66
Wow.
00:41:33.72\00:41:35.06
You know, all of the challenges,
00:41:35.09\00:41:36.42
all of the disappointments.
00:41:36.46\00:41:37.96
So God is, He
knows what he's doing,
00:41:37.99\00:41:41.80
the way He has set things up.
00:41:41.83\00:41:44.00
He leads us by the
hand and He takes us there.
00:41:44.03\00:41:48.70
And as I started to
think now, and I am 45,
00:41:48.74\00:41:51.87
but am not 25 anymore, you know.
00:41:51.91\00:41:54.84
So one day
00:41:54.88\00:41:56.31
I'm not going to be able
to play the violin anymore,
00:41:56.34\00:41:58.05
you know.
00:41:58.08\00:41:59.41
And I think,
00:41:59.45\00:42:00.85
what is Jaime
going to leave behind?
00:42:00.92\00:42:02.82
Is it gonna be money,
is it gonna be awards,
00:42:02.85\00:42:05.85
is it gonna be recordings?
00:42:05.89\00:42:07.66
I desire to be able to empower,
and excite, and encourage,
00:42:07.69\00:42:14.20
and inspire young people
to do things that I never did
00:42:14.30\00:42:19.20
or I will never do
for God's honor and glory.
00:42:19.23\00:42:22.80
And so, about four years ago
00:42:22.84\00:42:25.21
we started a
foundation called Healing Music,
00:42:25.24\00:42:29.14
and we called it Healing Music
00:42:29.18\00:42:30.61
because of the power
that music has for good
00:42:30.65\00:42:34.98
by the grace of God.
00:42:35.02\00:42:36.85
In which through this foundation
00:42:36.89\00:42:38.85
we're supporting all
kinds of missionary projects
00:42:38.89\00:42:42.12
around the world.
00:42:42.16\00:42:43.49
And we do music evangelism.
00:42:43.53\00:42:45.39
I like to call
myself a musical evangelist.
00:42:45.43\00:42:48.13
Wonderful.
00:42:48.16\00:42:49.50
And one of our
projects is to support gifted,
00:42:49.53\00:42:53.77
and needy, and
worthy young people
00:42:53.80\00:42:56.64
if they want to dedicate
their instruments, their lives,
00:42:56.67\00:43:00.58
their talents for
God's honor glory.
00:43:00.61\00:43:02.91
So we are setting
up a scholarship fund
00:43:02.94\00:43:05.25
to help young
people that are serious
00:43:05.28\00:43:07.88
about using Music Ministry
00:43:07.92\00:43:12.02
as a way to
reach people for Christ
00:43:12.05\00:43:13.76
to support their education.
00:43:13.79\00:43:16.09
And so on in our constitutes
we talked about that.
00:43:16.12\00:43:19.83
But we just came out
with the these wrist bands.
00:43:19.86\00:43:22.76
Remember those rubber one.
00:43:22.80\00:43:24.23
Yes, yes. There they are.
00:43:24.27\00:43:25.63
They have a
message, music is love,
00:43:25.67\00:43:27.54
music is
universal, music is hope,
00:43:27.60\00:43:29.07
and music is life.,
00:43:29.10\00:43:30.47
Okay
00:43:30.51\00:43:31.84
And people can get these
for an insignificant amount,
00:43:31.87\00:43:34.38
the money is not the issue.
00:43:34.41\00:43:36.14
But all of the
proceeds from these wrist bands
00:43:36.18\00:43:39.01
go towards the
scholarships fund.
00:43:39.05\00:43:41.32
And as the young
people contact us
00:43:41.35\00:43:43.25
and we want to encourage them,
00:43:43.28\00:43:44.62
if they are some
that are watching,
00:43:44.65\00:43:46.59
that are interested, and
needy, and worthy, and gifted,
00:43:46.62\00:43:50.09
we have a process to
be able to help sponsor
00:43:50.13\00:43:54.13
some of the
education, and the lessons
00:43:54.20\00:43:56.26
and even the instruments
of some of these young people.
00:43:56.30\00:43:59.40
So I am very
excited about growing them.
00:43:59.43\00:44:01.60
In fact, I am talking with
John about doing a recording
00:44:01.64\00:44:07.88
with young people,
duets, not just violence,
00:44:07.91\00:44:11.88
young people that sing,
that play other instruments,
00:44:11.91\00:44:14.75
and we want to
them use the proceeds
00:44:14.78\00:44:17.39
from that recordings,
00:44:17.42\00:44:19.45
that CD or DVD to put
into the scholarship fund.
00:44:19.49\00:44:23.73
So again, if
there are young people
00:44:23.76\00:44:25.09
that are
interested, please contact us.
00:44:25.13\00:44:26.46
Our information
would be included later.
00:44:26.49\00:44:30.33
But I'm just really excited
00:44:30.37\00:44:31.97
about the
empowering other young people
00:44:32.00\00:44:35.00
to expand their dreams, again,
for God's honor and glory,
00:44:35.04\00:44:39.77
and give them the opportunity
to be able to do this
00:44:39.81\00:44:42.81
and other things.
00:44:42.84\00:44:44.21
Empowerment is what
the Lord came to do.
00:44:44.25\00:44:46.51
He said, you'll receive power
00:44:46.55\00:44:48.12
after the Holy
Spirit comes upon you.
00:44:48.15\00:44:50.15
And legacy is something
that we all should consider.
00:44:50.19\00:44:53.32
What's going to be said
00:44:53.36\00:44:55.22
when my instrument is
not played any longer by me
00:44:55.26\00:44:58.76
or my voice is not
heard as a single or speaker.
00:44:58.79\00:45:01.43
And those are
things that are sobering
00:45:01.46\00:45:02.83
because lets us understand
00:45:02.86\00:45:04.20
that the only one
that had longevity is God,
00:45:04.27\00:45:07.44
and He is eternal.
00:45:07.47\00:45:08.80
Praise the Lord
00:45:08.84\00:45:10.17
through the blessing
of the resurrected Christ,
00:45:10.21\00:45:11.54
we look forward to eternal life.
00:45:11.57\00:45:12.91
And I thank for
that every day. Yes.
00:45:12.94\00:45:15.21
But the power of
Jesus' name set up that song,
00:45:15.24\00:45:19.28
All Hail the
Power of Jesus' name,
00:45:19.31\00:45:21.78
there's no other name.
00:45:21.82\00:45:23.15
I can preach that sermon
00:45:23.18\00:45:24.52
but I'll give you a
chance to set that song for us
00:45:24.55\00:45:27.39
This is one of my favorite songs
00:45:27.46\00:45:29.22
that I have recorded.
00:45:29.26\00:45:30.83
It is very big,
powerful, majestic,
00:45:30.86\00:45:34.73
and I think about
and this arrangement
00:45:34.73\00:45:37.23
sort of came as
through this idea that I had
00:45:37.27\00:45:41.60
of what's gonna
happen when Jesus comes?
00:45:41.64\00:45:44.37
You know, we talk
about it, we think about it,
00:45:44.41\00:45:46.74
but a musician,
00:45:46.78\00:45:48.48
what I think is what
will the music be like,
00:45:48.51\00:45:51.21
because there's no
question in my mind
00:45:51.25\00:45:52.88
that when Jesus returns
00:45:52.91\00:45:54.82
there's gonna be some
incredible music been played.
00:45:54.85\00:45:57.15
That's right.
00:45:57.19\00:45:58.52
And in my mind
this is what I see.
00:45:58.55\00:45:59.89
You know, the entire world,
maybe the universe will stop.
00:45:59.92\00:46:03.86
All of our
busyness, all of the stuff
00:46:03.89\00:46:05.79
that we consider
important, and blah, blah, blah,
00:46:05.83\00:46:07.96
everything is gonna stop.
00:46:07.96\00:46:09.66
And may be tens of thousands
of angels are gonna line up
00:46:09.70\00:46:14.77
and they're gonna
play their trumpets.
00:46:14.80\00:46:16.30
Wow.
00:46:16.34\00:46:17.67
And its gonna be a sound
00:46:17.71\00:46:19.31
such as has never
been heard on this earth.
00:46:19.34\00:46:21.04
Oh, man.
00:46:21.08\00:46:22.41
And then Jesus will
appear, and his children,
00:46:22.44\00:46:26.01
and his brothers and
sisters will rejoice.
00:46:26.05\00:46:29.48
And every knee will bow,
00:46:29.52\00:46:31.89
including Satan
will have to admit
00:46:31.92\00:46:34.82
that God is Love.
00:46:34.86\00:46:36.19
Wow.
00:46:36.22\00:46:37.56
That's how the song and
this arrangement came to me
00:46:37.63\00:46:39.76
with that thought.
00:46:39.79\00:46:41.10
Wow.
00:46:41.13\00:46:42.46
I believe you
play with that passion.
00:46:42.50\00:46:43.93
I know it effects you
and I know that this song,
00:46:43.97\00:46:45.77
when the day has come
we will finally understand
00:46:45.80\00:46:48.84
what the power of Jesus'
name is really all about.
00:46:48.87\00:46:52.81
Listen to this song.
00:46:52.84\00:46:54.18
Wow.
00:50:49.58\00:50:51.98
I'm stunned, but I
get to say, well, wow,
00:50:52.01\00:50:54.32
All Hail the
Power of Jesus' name
00:50:54.35\00:50:57.65
I'm gonna go right
to the address roll
00:50:57.69\00:50:59.75
because right now I think
00:50:59.79\00:51:01.19

appropriate time to know
00:51:01.22\00:51:02.56
