00:01:26.48\00:01:29.02
We've got a good program today.
00:01:29.05\00:01:31.12
But before I
introduce you to our guest,
00:01:31.15\00:01:33.79
I want to share a
scripture with you.
00:01:33.82\00:01:35.66
And the scripture
00:01:35.69\00:01:37.03
I'm going to share
is from Matthew 11:28.
00:01:37.06\00:01:42.83
And the scripture
says, "Come to me,
00:01:42.86\00:01:45.30
all you who labor
and are heavy laden,
00:01:45.33\00:01:48.80
and I will give you rest.
00:01:48.84\00:01:50.77
Take my yoke upon
you, and learn from me,
00:01:50.81\00:01:53.44
for I am gentle
and lowly in heart:
00:01:53.48\00:01:56.48
and you will find
rest for your souls.
00:01:56.51\00:01:59.21
For my yoke is easy
and my burden is light."
00:01:59.25\00:02:02.82
Well, the guest that
we have for us today,
00:02:02.85\00:02:05.69
they have lifestyle center.
00:02:05.72\00:02:07.82
A place where so
many people need to go
00:02:07.86\00:02:12.53
when they are burdened,
00:02:12.56\00:02:14.20
when they are under heavy labor,
00:02:14.23\00:02:16.93
and when there is
sickness in their lives,
00:02:16.97\00:02:22.24
where there are
areas in their lives
00:02:22.27\00:02:24.61
that need to be ministered
to and need to be touched.
00:02:24.64\00:02:27.41
So if you find
yourself in this situation
00:02:27.44\00:02:30.48
or you know someone who is,
00:02:30.51\00:02:32.41
call them right
now and tell them
00:02:32.45\00:02:34.02
to watch this program.
00:02:34.05\00:02:35.52
They're going to
find good information
00:02:35.55\00:02:37.59
to help their load be lightened.
00:02:37.62\00:02:40.32
Well, allow me now to
introduce you to my guest.
00:02:40.36\00:02:43.79
First we have
with us Lisa Brown.
00:02:43.83\00:02:46.46
Lisa, it is so good
to have you here today.
00:02:46.49\00:02:50.43
And then Brown, her husband.
00:02:50.47\00:02:52.83
And they are the
founders and directors
00:02:52.87\00:02:55.54
of the Eden's
Pathway Lifestyle Center.
00:02:55.57\00:02:58.81
And, Ben,
00:02:58.84\00:03:00.18
where is Eden's
Pathway Lifestyle Center?
00:03:00.21\00:03:03.95
Where is it located?
00:03:03.98\00:03:05.45
We're located in East Tennessee
in a place called Sweetwater,
00:03:05.48\00:03:08.42
Tennessee,
00:03:08.45\00:03:10.12
about halfway
somewhat between Knoxville
00:03:10.15\00:03:12.69
and Collegedale, Tennessee.
00:03:12.72\00:03:14.72
Well, we want to learn so much
about this lifestyle center.
00:03:14.76\00:03:19.33
And, Lisa, I
understand that you are working
00:03:19.36\00:03:23.23
on almost half your
doctorate and naturopath.
00:03:23.26\00:03:27.84
Yes. Did I say
that word correctly?
00:03:27.87\00:03:29.44
Yes, ma'am, you did.
00:03:29.47\00:03:30.81
Well, we want to learn
a lot about that as well.
00:03:30.84\00:03:34.24
But before we have Lisa and Ben
00:03:34.28\00:03:38.28
tell us all about
this incredible work
00:03:38.31\00:03:40.68
that there are in.
00:03:40.72\00:03:42.05
We've got someone here
00:03:42.08\00:03:43.42
that's going to sing a
beautiful song for you.
00:03:43.45\00:03:46.05
His name is Danny Shelton.
00:03:46.09\00:03:47.92
I think we all know.
00:03:47.96\00:03:49.36
Love and
appreciate Danny Shelton,
00:03:49.39\00:03:51.76
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus".
00:03:51.79\00:03:54.40
Amen.
00:03:54.43\00:03:55.96
O soul
00:04:05.67\00:04:08.31
Are you weary and troubled?
00:04:08.34\00:04:15.22
No light in the darkness
00:04:15.25\00:04:19.92
You see?
00:04:19.95\00:04:24.53
There's light
00:04:24.56\00:04:26.90
For a look at the Savior
00:04:26.93\00:04:33.94
And life so abundant
00:04:33.97\00:04:39.01
And free!
00:04:39.04\00:04:43.55
Turn your eyes
00:04:43.58\00:04:47.92
Upon Jesus
00:04:47.95\00:04:52.42
Look full in
00:04:52.45\00:04:54.76
His wonderful face
00:04:54.79\00:05:01.20
And the things of earth
00:05:01.23\00:05:06.20
Will grow strangely dim
00:05:06.23\00:05:11.24
In the light of
His glory and grace
00:05:11.27\00:05:18.65
His Word will not fail you
00:05:25.02\00:05:30.33
He's promised
00:05:30.36\00:05:34.13
Believe Him
00:05:34.16\00:05:36.56
and all will be well
00:05:36.60\00:05:43.34
Then go
00:05:43.37\00:05:45.54
To a world that is dying
00:05:45.57\00:05:52.41
His perfect salvation
00:05:52.45\00:05:57.22
To tell!
00:05:57.25\00:06:02.22
Turn your eyes
00:06:02.26\00:06:05.59
Upon Jesus
00:06:05.63\00:06:10.50
Look full in
00:06:10.53\00:06:12.97
His wonderful face
00:06:13.00\00:06:19.31
And the things of earth
00:06:19.34\00:06:23.85
Will grow strangely dim
00:06:23.88\00:06:29.32
In the light of His glory
00:06:29.35\00:06:34.49
And grace
00:06:34.52\00:06:36.99
In the light of His glory
00:06:42.96\00:06:48.24
And grace
00:06:48.27\00:06:51.61
Thank you, Danny.
00:07:02.82\00:07:04.15
You know something that Lisa
00:07:04.19\00:07:06.62
kind of leaned
over and said to me
00:07:06.65\00:07:08.19
when Danny first
started singing was,
00:07:08.22\00:07:09.99
you know, he usually
brings tears to my eyes.
00:07:10.03\00:07:12.89
And it's the anointing of
God that's on the man's life.
00:07:12.93\00:07:17.53
And he just
sings so beautifully.
00:07:17.57\00:07:19.93
It's so easy for
him, it seems like.
00:07:19.97\00:07:22.60
Well, Lisa and Ben.
00:07:22.64\00:07:24.47
Ben, first I want to ask you,
00:07:24.51\00:07:27.74
you're the founder and director,
00:07:27.78\00:07:29.41
I think you did this together.
00:07:29.44\00:07:30.91
Yes.
00:07:30.95\00:07:32.28
What was the motivation
00:07:32.31\00:07:34.88
behind you
starting a lifestyle center?
00:07:34.92\00:07:38.49
Well, really it was
my wife's motivation,
00:07:38.52\00:07:41.32
it was due to some
little small health issues
00:07:41.36\00:07:44.49
that she was kind of having.
00:07:44.53\00:07:46.16
And through some
friends that we knew had told us
00:07:46.19\00:07:49.23
about these programs that,
00:07:49.26\00:07:50.80
you know, being able
to detox and cleanse.
00:07:50.83\00:07:53.17
And so she with
the help of her friend
00:07:53.20\00:07:55.70
went to another friend's
house in Spring City, Tennessee.
00:07:55.74\00:08:00.44
She explains the 10-day program,
00:08:00.48\00:08:02.31
and at the cleansing at the time
00:08:02.34\00:08:03.98
she actually had
a health food store
00:08:04.01\00:08:05.61
'cause we thought that was,
00:08:05.65\00:08:06.98
you know, way of doing
medical missionary work.
00:08:07.02\00:08:09.35
And, but when she came
back from this 10-day program
00:08:09.38\00:08:11.85
she said, "Honey, this is it,
the health food store is nice,
00:08:11.89\00:08:15.96
but this is really."
00:08:15.99\00:08:17.33
And she was able to experience
the cleansing, detoxing,
00:08:17.36\00:08:21.20
her headaches had gone
away, she'd lost some weight,
00:08:21.23\00:08:23.80
and just felt invigorated.
00:08:23.83\00:08:25.87
And that's kind
of where it stimulate
00:08:25.90\00:08:27.47
from her own
personal experience.
00:08:27.50\00:08:30.11
From there then
the first guinea pig
00:08:30.14\00:08:32.47
was her dad.
00:08:32.51\00:08:34.18
And we tried it on
him and he did wonderful.
00:08:34.21\00:08:37.31
And then from there
it just kind of sprung
00:08:37.35\00:08:39.35
and it was just
more word of mouth.
00:08:39.38\00:08:42.68
And then it just kind
of has grown from that,
00:08:42.72\00:08:45.22
from then people know
00:08:45.25\00:08:46.59
what we're doing every month so.
00:08:46.62\00:08:48.42
Sounds like what
your heart's desire
00:08:48.46\00:08:50.79
and it's to help people,
00:08:50.83\00:08:52.43
they'd find themselves in
a position along the lines
00:08:52.46\00:08:55.86
of what you were
in, where you needed
00:08:55.90\00:08:58.57
just help from someone
that is a professional.
00:08:58.60\00:09:03.04
And now, Lisa, I understand
00:09:03.07\00:09:05.94
that you almost
have your doctorate...
00:09:05.97\00:09:08.04
Maybe you like
your dissertation?
00:09:08.08\00:09:09.54
Yes, Ma'am.
00:09:09.58\00:09:10.91
To have your doctorate
in naturopathic medicine.
00:09:10.95\00:09:13.98
And I want you to
tell us what that means?
00:09:14.02\00:09:17.99
What does a doctor in
naturopathic medicine?
00:09:18.02\00:09:21.49
What are the prerequisites
to get your doctorate?
00:09:21.52\00:09:24.79
And what will it mean
once you have your doctorate?
00:09:24.83\00:09:28.63
Well, it took me
about four and a half years,
00:09:28.66\00:09:32.87
like I said I'm
finishing my doctorate.
00:09:32.90\00:09:35.90
It's a little different.
00:09:35.94\00:09:37.64
We focus more
on helping the body
00:09:37.67\00:09:41.84
to heal itself naturally.
00:09:41.88\00:09:47.08
However we work
with doctors as well
00:09:47.12\00:09:50.05
'cause we have a lot of doctors
that recommend people to us.
00:09:50.09\00:09:52.52
And they say,
00:09:52.55\00:09:53.89
"We know the program that
you're doing this is what,
00:09:53.92\00:09:56.36
you know, these people need."
00:09:56.39\00:09:59.23
So there's a difference between
the medical and the naturopath.
00:09:59.26\00:10:03.06
Naturopath obviously
00:10:03.10\00:10:04.77
is you're going
to try to do things
00:10:04.80\00:10:06.27
as much naturally as possible
00:10:06.30\00:10:09.00
by letting the
body have the ability
00:10:09.04\00:10:11.31
to heal itself naturally.
00:10:11.34\00:10:13.04
And so we don't
diagnose or, you know, cure,
00:10:13.07\00:10:18.08
we don't claim that we
cure anything like that.
00:10:18.11\00:10:20.02
We basically believe that Christ
00:10:20.05\00:10:22.82
is the great physician,
00:10:22.85\00:10:24.29
and we know that
He's the great physician.
00:10:24.32\00:10:26.45
And when we do our
part, He always does His.
00:10:26.49\00:10:28.99
You know Christ is the healer.
00:10:29.02\00:10:30.79
I had someone tell me once
00:10:30.83\00:10:33.13
and I think you've
probably all heard this
00:10:33.16\00:10:35.16
that time is a great healer.
00:10:35.20\00:10:37.57
And I tell them
no, time's a revealer,
00:10:37.60\00:10:41.30
what the healer is
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:10:41.34\00:10:44.87
And so I appreciate so very much
00:10:44.91\00:10:47.21
the fact that
you're depending on Christ
00:10:47.24\00:10:50.48
for the healing virtue
00:10:50.51\00:10:51.85
that God placed
within our bodies
00:10:51.88\00:10:53.45
to start with.
00:10:53.48\00:10:54.82
But I know in
getting your doctorate
00:10:54.85\00:10:57.02
there are a lot of
courses that you have to take.
00:10:57.05\00:11:00.46
Yes, Ma'am.
00:11:00.49\00:11:01.86
It required for me
to have my A and P,
00:11:01.89\00:11:04.63
anatomy and physiology,
00:11:04.66\00:11:06.73
pharmacology,
nutrition, enzymes.
00:11:06.76\00:11:11.93
I even had to
take a course on law.
00:11:11.97\00:11:15.14
And I took a course
in psychology as well.
00:11:15.17\00:11:18.84
And that pretty
much was the core of it.
00:11:18.87\00:11:23.08
And then now it's
just finishing off
00:11:23.11\00:11:24.51
with the dissertation.
00:11:24.55\00:11:25.88
So it sounds like the courses
that you take or the courses
00:11:25.91\00:11:28.65
that any physician would
have to take to get a doctorate.
00:11:28.68\00:11:33.09
So I'm very encouraged to know
that with this lifestyle center
00:11:33.12\00:11:38.09
comes a very high level
of excellence in education
00:11:38.13\00:11:42.13
as well as the
heart's desire to help people.
00:11:42.16\00:11:46.87
So, Ben, how long have
00:11:46.90\00:11:48.94
you been working
in this ministry?
00:11:48.97\00:11:52.54
Eden's Pathway,
00:11:52.57\00:11:53.91
we've been around
for little over 17 years.
00:11:53.94\00:11:57.45
And so we've been
able to work with,
00:11:57.48\00:12:00.15
you know, I
guess several hundred
00:12:00.18\00:12:01.98
to maybe a
couple thousand people,
00:12:02.02\00:12:03.49
I'm not sure.
00:12:03.52\00:12:04.85
And especially
when we go, and speak,
00:12:04.89\00:12:06.62
and being able to
train others as well,
00:12:06.65\00:12:08.86
and to doing really
door-to-door evangelism,
00:12:08.89\00:12:11.46
taking this message to them.
00:12:11.49\00:12:13.80
And that's what,
00:12:13.83\00:12:15.16
you know, we have
been commissioned to do so.
00:12:15.20\00:12:18.97
So I think there's
been a little transition
00:12:19.00\00:12:21.24
in the actual
lifestyle center itself.
00:12:21.27\00:12:23.61
What is the
direction that you feel like
00:12:23.64\00:12:26.14
the Lord is leading you in now.
00:12:26.17\00:12:28.84
I believe that the
Lord still warning us,
00:12:28.88\00:12:31.68
we were on a
larger piece of property,
00:12:31.71\00:12:34.42
larger scale
about over a year ago.
00:12:34.45\00:12:36.08
But it's started in our home
00:12:36.12\00:12:39.65
and that's what
we're trying to do
00:12:39.69\00:12:41.02
is go back to our home.
00:12:41.06\00:12:42.72
And it's not,
00:12:42.76\00:12:44.09
it's just being able
to work it really with,
00:12:44.13\00:12:45.86
you know, three to four guests
00:12:45.89\00:12:47.60
every month one on one
00:12:47.63\00:12:48.96
so they can see
what an Adventist,
00:12:49.00\00:12:50.73
how Adventist we
live, it's our lifestyle.
00:12:50.77\00:12:53.13
But also the focus
00:12:53.17\00:12:54.50
is actually
traveling to churches
00:12:54.54\00:12:55.87
and to any type of venues
to be able to go to train them,
00:12:55.90\00:12:59.04
encourage them to hopefully
00:12:59.07\00:13:01.48
that somebody
there will be inspired
00:13:01.51\00:13:03.75
to open up their home.
00:13:03.78\00:13:05.21
And as we've been
giving direction by inspiration
00:13:05.25\00:13:08.82
is to have a home like
sanitariums in pleasant places.
00:13:08.85\00:13:12.22
And we're seeing that spring up,
00:13:12.25\00:13:13.62
there's been more especially
this past year more calls of,
00:13:13.66\00:13:17.26
you know, for us
to travel to training,
00:13:17.29\00:13:18.96
and to teach and all.
00:13:18.99\00:13:20.33
So in traveling, and
training, and teaching,
00:13:20.36\00:13:22.46
you're teaching others to
duplicate what you're doing.
00:13:22.50\00:13:26.23
Exactly.
00:13:26.27\00:13:27.67
And so what we
normally do is when we do that,
00:13:27.70\00:13:31.14
then it also allows
us to meet new people.
00:13:31.17\00:13:33.64
And then we try to
have maybe once a year
00:13:33.68\00:13:35.61
when we get together
all the different centers
00:13:35.64\00:13:38.95
or medical missionaries
00:13:38.98\00:13:40.38
or even vendors to come
in and share information
00:13:40.42\00:13:42.58
so we can all benefit
from our learning experiences.
00:13:42.62\00:13:45.75
So you have an organization,
Ben, that you're a part of...
00:13:45.79\00:13:50.29
Yes.
00:13:50.33\00:13:51.66
Yeah, it's called
Lifestyle Centers International.
00:13:51.69\00:13:54.10
And normally in
the fall in November
00:13:54.13\00:13:56.83
we have our meetings were
00:13:56.87\00:13:59.90
that's generally
kind of little bit,
00:13:59.93\00:14:01.60
it slows down for
most of us a little bit.
00:14:01.64\00:14:03.97
And so we're able to come
00:14:04.01\00:14:05.37
and we invite
individuals to come and learn.
00:14:05.41\00:14:08.74
We have different speakers
from each of the centers
00:14:08.78\00:14:11.41
to be able to
present on diabetes,
00:14:11.45\00:14:13.48
to cancers, to drug addictions,
or whatever might be.
00:14:13.52\00:14:16.95
And then we had vendors
00:14:16.99\00:14:18.32
to talk about like
hyperbarics or tomography
00:14:18.35\00:14:22.42
or whatever it might be
00:14:22.46\00:14:23.79
that's out there that
can be available to us.
00:14:23.83\00:14:27.06
So we can all help one another,
00:14:27.10\00:14:29.20
and refer guest to each
other as well and work together.
00:14:29.23\00:14:32.70
So you're keeping
your learning abilities
00:14:32.73\00:14:36.54
on the cutting edge
00:14:36.57\00:14:38.01
so that you'll know
what the success is that
00:14:38.04\00:14:42.28
others are having so
you can learn from them.
00:14:42.31\00:14:45.31
I know that you
have some pictures
00:14:45.35\00:14:48.28
that you brought along with you.
00:14:48.32\00:14:50.25
And I thought that we
would go to a picture now.
00:14:50.29\00:14:52.02
Okay.
00:14:52.05\00:14:53.39
Let's see about this ministry.
00:14:53.42\00:14:55.72
This is our little
small home like sanitarium
00:14:55.76\00:14:58.99
where a lot of guests come.
00:14:59.03\00:15:00.86
They stay with us
and it is an in home
00:15:00.90\00:15:02.96
and live in center
00:15:03.00\00:15:06.13
where they can actually see
00:15:06.17\00:15:07.64
how we live as
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:15:07.67\00:15:10.01
This is one of our guest rooms.
00:15:10.04\00:15:11.41
This usually is
where the couples
00:15:11.44\00:15:13.88
they will stay in,
it's called our love room.
00:15:13.91\00:15:16.78
And then this is
the other guest room,
00:15:16.81\00:15:18.88
it's called our joy room.
00:15:18.91\00:15:21.55
And we can take
up to four people
00:15:21.58\00:15:24.25
or two individuals at a time
and where we're at currently.
00:15:24.29\00:15:28.26
Well, that's a
very beautiful home.
00:15:28.29\00:15:30.36
Who do we have here?
00:15:30.39\00:15:31.73
This is a mother and daughter
00:15:31.76\00:15:33.09
that came to us
from the Bahamas.
00:15:33.13\00:15:35.33
What was kind of
interesting about them was
00:15:35.36\00:15:38.13
in talking to them
00:15:38.17\00:15:39.50
'cause normally,
00:15:39.53\00:15:40.87
you know, we're
doing our lectures
00:15:40.90\00:15:42.24
doing the different
therapies and stuff like that,
00:15:42.27\00:15:43.71
come to find out that
they actually growing up,
00:15:43.74\00:15:48.31
they used to listen
to 3ABN on the local TV,
00:15:48.34\00:15:52.51
I think a radio,
00:15:52.55\00:15:53.88
and she knew a lot
about Adventism and stuff.
00:15:53.92\00:15:56.05
And so her daughter,
00:15:56.08\00:15:57.42
she came with her daughter
00:15:57.45\00:15:59.19
because her
daughter wasn't able to...
00:15:59.22\00:16:00.56
All the way from Bahamas?
00:16:00.59\00:16:01.92
All the way from Bahamas. Yeah.
00:16:01.96\00:16:03.29
And one thing she said,
00:16:03.32\00:16:04.66
"You'll never guess
what type of work I do."
00:16:04.69\00:16:06.03
I said, "Well, what is it?"
00:16:06.06\00:16:07.40
She said, "Well,
my husband started
00:16:07.43\00:16:10.33
a liquor store right next
00:16:10.37\00:16:12.33
to the hotel
Atlantis and stuff."
00:16:12.37\00:16:15.67
And I said, "I
would never guess that."
00:16:15.70\00:16:17.14
And so that was just
kind of an interesting story
00:16:17.17\00:16:19.77
of how that they
knew a lot about Adventist
00:16:19.81\00:16:22.64
because of the local
TV, and radio, and all that.
00:16:22.68\00:16:25.75
And how were they
introduced to your ministry?
00:16:25.78\00:16:28.38
They had found out about us
through another mutual friend
00:16:28.42\00:16:33.42
that knew about our ministry
00:16:33.46\00:16:34.79
and that's how they
contacted us last year
00:16:34.82\00:16:38.09
and just made
arrangements for them to come
00:16:38.13\00:16:40.50
right before her daughter
00:16:40.53\00:16:41.86
was going back to
college in Florida.
00:16:41.90\00:16:44.77
And so they came together
and we were able to help.
00:16:44.80\00:16:47.57
I think that the daughter
had problems with lupus.
00:16:47.60\00:16:50.47
And so we were able
to help them get them
00:16:50.51\00:16:51.84
on the right path.
00:16:51.87\00:16:53.21
Okay.
00:16:53.24\00:16:54.58
So you got them
on the right path.
00:16:54.61\00:16:55.94
You know, the
home was a lovely home
00:16:55.98\00:16:57.81
and obviously it's
in a country setting.
00:16:57.85\00:17:00.62
Tell us a little
about the acreage
00:17:00.65\00:17:03.02
and what you have
00:17:03.05\00:17:04.39
that your house
is sitting on there?
00:17:04.42\00:17:06.45
Basically it's
just a simple home.
00:17:06.49\00:17:09.62
Behind us the neighbor
00:17:09.66\00:17:11.86
actually has about
2500 acres of property,
00:17:11.89\00:17:15.76
farmland cattle,
and stuff like that.
00:17:15.80\00:17:17.87
And it's very peaceful conducive
00:17:17.90\00:17:20.77
to where we're living
00:17:20.80\00:17:22.14
because there's
not a lot of neighbors,
00:17:22.17\00:17:24.31
you know, as
we're told can look in
00:17:24.34\00:17:27.38
and pry in and whatever.
00:17:27.41\00:17:28.74
But the neighbors there are
00:17:28.78\00:17:30.11
there are very
nice and very helpful,
00:17:30.15\00:17:33.31
you know, in what
we're doing as well so.
00:17:33.35\00:17:35.55
You know, in comparing
stories before the program began
00:17:35.58\00:17:38.95
we found that
we've got basically
00:17:38.99\00:17:40.99
the same heritage show
00:17:41.02\00:17:42.56
or from Tennessee here
in these United States.
00:17:42.59\00:17:46.19
And I'm from Alabama
where Tennessee sits right
00:17:46.23\00:17:49.00
on top of Alabama.
00:17:49.03\00:17:50.37
And I'm from North
Alabama as a matter of fact.
00:17:50.40\00:17:52.87
And so that is
beautiful country,
00:17:52.90\00:17:55.50
that's not way overpopulated,
00:17:55.54\00:17:57.87
and it's just got
that good warm weather
00:17:57.91\00:18:02.08
in the summertime,
00:18:02.11\00:18:03.88
and it's not brutally
cold in the wintertime.
00:18:03.91\00:18:06.51
So it's a lovely place
to have a lifestyle center.
00:18:06.55\00:18:09.62
And so the
mother and the daughter
00:18:09.65\00:18:11.75
were helped by
being there with you
00:18:11.79\00:18:13.86
in the lifestyle center.
00:18:13.89\00:18:15.22
Yes, and we were blessed by them
00:18:15.26\00:18:16.59
being there with us as well.
00:18:16.62\00:18:17.96
Okay.
00:18:17.99\00:18:19.33
And let's go on
to the next picture.
00:18:19.36\00:18:21.20
Okay.
00:18:21.23\00:18:22.56
This, here was
another interesting story,
00:18:22.60\00:18:26.60
it's a father here,
00:18:26.63\00:18:28.30
he was suffering
with some cancer.
00:18:28.34\00:18:30.24
And the father
and the mother came,
00:18:30.27\00:18:32.24
and this is a daughter.
00:18:32.27\00:18:33.61
But the other daughter
had actually contacted us.
00:18:33.64\00:18:36.51
And one of the things
and when she contacted us,
00:18:36.54\00:18:40.08
she knew we were
Christian center.
00:18:40.12\00:18:43.15
And she said,
00:18:43.18\00:18:44.52
"Well, you know,
00:18:44.55\00:18:45.89
I'm not a Christian
00:18:45.92\00:18:49.06
and I can't
remember what religion is
00:18:49.09\00:18:50.43
but didn't believe in God."
00:18:50.46\00:18:51.86
And it was really
challenging for me to think well
00:18:51.89\00:18:55.93
and I told my wife and said,
00:18:55.96\00:18:57.30
"You know we pray a
lot with our guests.
00:18:57.33\00:18:59.20
And she's, you know,
00:18:59.23\00:19:00.57
she doesn't
believe in God or anything.
00:19:00.60\00:19:01.97
She believes in some
foreign mystic religion."
00:19:02.00\00:19:06.27
And so a week prior to
them coming the daughter
00:19:06.31\00:19:10.01
from California
says, "I can't come.
00:19:10.05\00:19:11.95
But my sister from
Connecticut is coming."
00:19:11.98\00:19:15.05
So when they all came together,
00:19:15.08\00:19:17.85
and we picked
them up in Chattanooga,
00:19:17.89\00:19:20.22
and they got into the house,
00:19:20.26\00:19:21.62
we got to talk to
the daughter and said,
00:19:21.66\00:19:24.76
"You know we're a
Christian organization."
00:19:24.79\00:19:27.03
And I said, "My
wife and I pray a lot."
00:19:27.06\00:19:28.93
And she said,
00:19:28.96\00:19:30.30
"Well, that's not
going to be a problem.
00:19:30.33\00:19:31.67
I'm a Christian
too." Praise God.
00:19:31.70\00:19:33.03
And I said, "Well, good."
00:19:33.07\00:19:34.40
I said, "I was
just kind of worried
00:19:34.44\00:19:35.77
but I don't want to offend you.
00:19:35.80\00:19:37.14
I know your
father is here for help."
00:19:37.17\00:19:38.87
And that was one part of it.
00:19:38.91\00:19:40.38
The bigger part
was that the daughter
00:19:40.41\00:19:44.08
as you saw in the
picture there with her father
00:19:44.11\00:19:47.48
there was a little strange
00:19:47.52\00:19:48.98
'cause her mother
had her and her brother
00:19:49.02\00:19:53.52
before she got
married to this gentleman
00:19:53.56\00:19:55.22
that was just pictured.
00:19:55.26\00:19:56.83
And so they ended
up having a couple,
00:19:56.86\00:19:59.23
another daughter
and son together.
00:19:59.26\00:20:03.03
And she kind of felt
estranged from her father.
00:20:03.06\00:20:05.93
And the father
finally kind of broke down
00:20:05.97\00:20:10.24
and was able to
be loving and caring
00:20:10.27\00:20:13.11
to his adopted daughter,
00:20:13.14\00:20:16.48
and they had
never really hugged.
00:20:16.51\00:20:18.55
And so this was the night
before the daughter had left,
00:20:18.58\00:20:21.68
the older daughter
left to go back home
00:20:21.72\00:20:23.95
before her parents left.
00:20:23.99\00:20:25.32
And the Holy Spirit
really broke his heart.
00:20:25.35\00:20:28.59
Actually my wife
could probably share more
00:20:28.62\00:20:31.09
one of the experiences
while he was with us.
00:20:31.13\00:20:34.86
And so, Lisa,
00:20:34.90\00:20:36.23
do you mind sharing
about what happened.
00:20:36.26\00:20:37.60
Sure. Sure.
00:20:37.63\00:20:40.14
The daughter was
feeling a little uncomfortable
00:20:40.17\00:20:42.30
like my husband said,
00:20:42.34\00:20:43.67
she was from a
previous marriage.
00:20:43.71\00:20:46.31
And she says, I
don't know how it is
00:20:46.34\00:20:48.61
that I ended up
being the daughter
00:20:48.64\00:20:50.01
that came to be
here with my mom and dad.
00:20:50.05\00:20:52.11
She says but
obviously God has a plan.
00:20:52.15\00:20:54.45
And I looked at her and I said,
00:20:54.48\00:20:55.82
"Well, you know
sister, God always has a plan.
00:20:55.85\00:20:57.85
Sometimes we may not see it,
00:20:57.89\00:20:59.22
we may not
understand it but he does.
00:20:59.25\00:21:01.52
He always has a plan."
00:21:01.56\00:21:03.29
And so what
happened was she was dealing
00:21:03.32\00:21:07.80
with some health issues as well.
00:21:07.83\00:21:09.83
And a lot of it
00:21:09.86\00:21:12.43
was where her
childhood growing up
00:21:12.47\00:21:14.77
where she felt rejected.
00:21:14.80\00:21:16.84
And the unfortunate
thing is we see a lot of people
00:21:16.87\00:21:20.01
who come like we try to focus
00:21:20.04\00:21:22.78
mentally,
physically, and spiritually
00:21:22.81\00:21:24.85
because I think a lot of people
00:21:24.88\00:21:28.18
all of us at some
point have been hurt,
00:21:28.22\00:21:30.69
and we don't know
how to express that pain,
00:21:30.72\00:21:32.62
and that grief and anger.
00:21:32.65\00:21:35.29
And so she was
sharing with me and she says,
00:21:35.32\00:21:38.76
"I just don't
know why they sent me?"
00:21:38.79\00:21:41.06
She said, "But
I'm okay with it."
00:21:41.10\00:21:43.10
She said just don't
ask me to do anything
00:21:43.13\00:21:44.53
with my father.
00:21:44.57\00:21:45.90
I said, "Well, that's
okay. We won't do that."
00:21:45.93\00:21:48.34
And one time we had heard that,
00:21:48.37\00:21:51.57
you know, some
lifestyle centers,
00:21:51.61\00:21:53.31
you know, they don't
like to as Adventist sometimes
00:21:53.34\00:21:58.21
we like to do just
share or over share
00:21:58.25\00:22:00.22
because these
were not Adventists
00:22:00.25\00:22:01.62
who were coming.
00:22:01.65\00:22:03.28
And they say,
00:22:03.32\00:22:05.12
we tell our guests
or we tell our staff,
00:22:05.15\00:22:07.69
you know, we
don't want to go around
00:22:07.72\00:22:09.16
and start praying
00:22:09.19\00:22:10.53
with these
individuals right away.
00:22:10.56\00:22:11.89
We don't want to basically
scare them off, you know.
00:22:11.93\00:22:14.73
We want to for the
first three days everybody
00:22:14.76\00:22:17.07
just kind of lay low
00:22:17.10\00:22:18.43
and don't just give them
time to get settled in before
00:22:18.47\00:22:21.47
we start
sharing, you know, Jesus.
00:22:21.50\00:22:25.51
And so I thought about
00:22:25.54\00:22:27.18
that in this
situation I thought,
00:22:27.21\00:22:28.54
"Well, if I would have waited
00:22:28.58\00:22:30.55
who knows where the Lord would
have led with that situation,"
00:22:30.58\00:22:32.78
because when these
people come into our home,
00:22:32.81\00:22:35.65
we only have them for 10 days,
00:22:35.68\00:22:37.72
not that we want to
throw everything at them
00:22:37.75\00:22:39.65
because we don't do that.
00:22:39.69\00:22:41.02
We believe in...
00:22:41.06\00:22:42.52
I've had people
look at me and say,
00:22:42.56\00:22:43.89
"Well, I just want
you to give me my room,
00:22:43.93\00:22:45.46
give me my phone,
00:22:45.49\00:22:46.83
and I don't want
you praying with me."
00:22:46.86\00:22:48.73
And I said, "Well, that's
fine but just to let you know,
00:22:48.76\00:22:51.67
we do have to pray
00:22:51.70\00:22:53.03
'cause we can't do
this without praying,
00:22:53.07\00:22:55.27
we have to be able to pray in."
00:22:55.30\00:22:58.81
So this particular family,
00:22:58.84\00:23:00.34
this is the
mindset of the father,
00:23:00.38\00:23:02.44
he didn't want
us to pray with him.
00:23:02.48\00:23:04.35
He's like, "I
know there's a being,
00:23:04.38\00:23:06.05
I know there's a higher power
but just don't pray with me."
00:23:06.08\00:23:09.55
So now he has cancer.
00:23:09.58\00:23:11.62
And he's there to get help.
00:23:11.65\00:23:13.69
But he didn't want
you to pray with him.
00:23:13.72\00:23:15.06
He does not want
us to pray with him.
00:23:15.09\00:23:16.42
Okay. That's correct.
00:23:16.46\00:23:17.93
And so I said, "Well,
Brother, you know, that's okay.
00:23:17.96\00:23:20.70
I don't have to pray with you,
but I will be praying for you."
00:23:20.73\00:23:23.93
And so the daughter,
she told me, she said,
00:23:23.97\00:23:28.24
"Lisa, don't let it,
you know, bother you".
00:23:28.27\00:23:30.04
I said, "Oh, it's okay."
00:23:30.07\00:23:31.44
I said, "We're good."
00:23:31.47\00:23:33.11
And so we would
go to have the meal.
00:23:33.14\00:23:35.14
I would fix the
meal, and she would say,
00:23:35.18\00:23:36.64
"Dad, we're going
to have prayer first."
00:23:36.68\00:23:38.68
And he's like.
00:23:38.71\00:23:40.05
You know, like he
didn't really want to.
00:23:40.08\00:23:42.22
And so I fixed the meal,
and she started to have prayer.
00:23:42.25\00:23:46.12
And I said, "Well,
wait a minute, Brother."
00:23:46.15\00:23:48.12
I said, "Why don't
you have prayer for us?"
00:23:48.16\00:23:50.43
And he says, "No.
00:23:50.46\00:23:51.93
No, I'm good."
00:23:51.96\00:23:53.86
I said, "Okay."
00:23:53.90\00:23:55.23
So I let it go.
00:23:55.26\00:23:56.77
And so in the afternoons
00:23:56.80\00:23:59.23
what we do
after we have devotion
00:23:59.27\00:24:00.94
which we have
devotion morning and evening.
00:24:00.97\00:24:03.91
And our guests are
welcome to come to the devotion,
00:24:03.94\00:24:06.81
but it's not
required, they don't have to.
00:24:06.84\00:24:09.74
But we'd like to
start the day with Christ.
00:24:09.78\00:24:11.61
And we like to
finish it with the Lord.
00:24:11.65\00:24:13.75
And so I had
devotion that evening,
00:24:13.78\00:24:16.95
and we go and we
tell them good night,
00:24:16.99\00:24:18.82
you know, and see
if they need anything.
00:24:18.85\00:24:20.46
Sometimes they may need
a little bit of a massage.
00:24:20.49\00:24:22.89
You know, we'll
give them a massage
00:24:22.92\00:24:24.26
or something
help them rest better
00:24:24.29\00:24:26.96
or fix them a hot tea.
00:24:27.00\00:24:28.76
And so we would go
and tell them good night.
00:24:28.80\00:24:32.57
And so one night I went in
00:24:32.60\00:24:33.94
and I purposely
wasn't going to have prayer
00:24:33.97\00:24:36.10
that particular
night after I went in
00:24:36.14\00:24:37.87
'cause I would
have prayer with them,
00:24:37.91\00:24:39.24
tell them good night.
00:24:39.27\00:24:40.61
Lord willing will
see you in the morning,
00:24:40.64\00:24:41.98
if you need anything, let
us know, we're right here.
00:24:42.01\00:24:44.91
And so I started to
leave to walk out of the room
00:24:44.95\00:24:48.42
and he says, "Didn't
you forget something?"
00:24:48.45\00:24:52.39
And I said, "No.
00:24:52.42\00:24:54.92
I haven't forgotten anything."
00:24:54.96\00:24:56.96
So I start to
walk out. He says, "No.
00:24:56.99\00:24:58.69
You forgot something."
00:24:58.73\00:25:00.90
And I said, "Well,
I don't think I did.
00:25:00.93\00:25:04.27
I picked up your
teacup, everything.
00:25:04.30\00:25:06.63
I don't think I did."
00:25:06.67\00:25:08.00
He said, "Oh yes, you did.
00:25:08.04\00:25:09.37
You forgot to
have prayer with us."
00:25:09.40\00:25:10.74
Oh, praise God. Amen.
00:25:10.77\00:25:13.04
And so I turned
around and I said,
00:25:13.07\00:25:14.98
"You know what,
Brother, you're exactly right.
00:25:15.01\00:25:17.01
I did forget to
have prayer with you."
00:25:17.05\00:25:19.41
And so I went over and I
said, "Well, you know what?"
00:25:19.45\00:25:23.42
I said, "Better, yeah."
00:25:23.45\00:25:24.79
I said, "Why don't
you have a prayer?"
00:25:24.82\00:25:26.59
And he says, "Oh no."
00:25:26.62\00:25:29.49
He says, "I can't pray."
00:25:29.52\00:25:31.39
I said, "Oh, yeah,
Brother, you can pray."
00:25:31.43\00:25:33.23
He says, "No."
00:25:33.26\00:25:34.60
He said, "Trust me, God
wouldn't hear my prayers."
00:25:34.63\00:25:39.13
He says, "He couldn't
hear a sinner like me."
00:25:39.17\00:25:42.27
I said, "Brother, if He
can't hear your prayers,
00:25:42.30\00:25:44.64
then He
certainly can't hear mine."
00:25:44.67\00:25:47.04
I said, "You know what?"
00:25:47.08\00:25:48.54
I said, "He is there
just waiting for you.
00:25:48.58\00:25:51.15
I said,
00:25:51.18\00:25:52.51
"So I think you
can have prayer."
00:25:52.55\00:25:56.08
And the day before we
were at the dinner table
00:25:56.12\00:26:00.49
when we were asking to
have prayer over the dinner,
00:26:00.52\00:26:03.89
he didn't want to
do it then either.
00:26:03.93\00:26:05.26
And I didn't force.
00:26:05.29\00:26:06.63
I just, you know, I said,
00:26:06.66\00:26:08.00
"Well, you can have
prayer if you like."
00:26:08.03\00:26:09.86
And he didn't want to.
00:26:09.90\00:26:11.37
And I leaned over and I
said, "You know what, Brother?"
00:26:11.40\00:26:14.64
I said, "You may think
that God doesn't hear you."
00:26:14.67\00:26:17.47
I said, "But
just to let you know
00:26:17.51\00:26:18.84
He never leaves
us nor forsakes us."
00:26:18.87\00:26:21.21
I said, "You may deny Him,
00:26:21.24\00:26:22.58
but He will never
deny you, Brother."
00:26:22.61\00:26:24.81
I said, "So He's
just waiting for you
00:26:24.85\00:26:26.65
when you're ready."
00:26:26.68\00:26:28.02
And I said, "And by the
way whenever you are ready,
00:26:28.05\00:26:31.15
you'll get the true
healing that we all need."
00:26:31.19\00:26:33.99
I said, "'Cause, Brother,
we all mentally, physically,
00:26:34.02\00:26:36.19
and spiritually need Him."
00:26:36.22\00:26:38.36
That next night was
the night that he said,
00:26:38.39\00:26:41.46
"Oh, I can't pray."
00:26:41.50\00:26:43.60
I said, "Oh, yeah, you can."
00:26:43.63\00:26:45.93
And so he had the
most precious prayer.
00:26:45.97\00:26:50.21
He closed his eyes and he said,
00:26:50.24\00:26:51.61
"Lord, I don't
know if you're there,
00:26:51.64\00:26:54.51
but something in my
heart tells me you are."
00:26:54.54\00:26:57.55
And he says, "If you
can hear this prayer,
00:26:57.58\00:27:00.25
this sinful person, if
you can hear my prayer,
00:27:00.28\00:27:04.52
I want to pray and let you know
00:27:04.55\00:27:06.12
that I'm ready to
give everything up,
00:27:06.15\00:27:08.36
surrender all to you."
00:27:08.39\00:27:10.16
I'm sorry.
00:27:10.19\00:27:11.53
I just...
00:27:11.56\00:27:12.89
If you don't
start crying and I will.
00:27:12.93\00:27:14.26
I just...
00:27:14.30\00:27:15.63
It was, I tell
you, it was a blessing.
00:27:15.66\00:27:18.33
And when he got done,
00:27:18.37\00:27:20.94
he grabbed my hand
and he started singing.
00:27:20.97\00:27:23.67
Yes, Jesus loves me
00:27:23.71\00:27:26.11
And he was what, 97?
00:27:26.14\00:27:28.34
He was 84 years old.
Oh, 84. I'm sorry, 84.
00:27:28.38\00:27:31.15
Sorry. Yeah, he
was 84 years old.
00:27:31.18\00:27:32.88
What was interesting to is that
00:27:32.91\00:27:34.55
the day we took him
back to the airport,
00:27:34.58\00:27:37.02
and I didn't realize
that you could get a pass
00:27:37.05\00:27:40.99
'cause I needed to help
them 'cause in their wheelchair.
00:27:41.02\00:27:44.33
And the guy at there said,
00:27:44.36\00:27:46.76
"Oh, we can give you
temporary go through TSS."
00:27:46.80\00:27:48.60
"Oh, really" I
said, "That will be good
00:27:48.63\00:27:50.17
'cause that way I
can wheel them in.
00:27:50.20\00:27:52.13
So I took them to the terminal.
00:27:52.17\00:27:53.50
And I said, "Can I have a prayer
00:27:53.54\00:27:54.87
with both of you?"
00:27:54.90\00:27:56.24
And he said, "Sure."
00:27:56.27\00:27:57.61
And so I prayed
for them and prayed
00:27:57.64\00:27:59.11
that God would bless
them in all their stuff.
00:27:59.14\00:28:01.28
And then I said, "Amen."
00:28:01.31\00:28:02.71
And then he
immediately started praying,
00:28:02.74\00:28:05.45
"Dear Lord, I just ask
00:28:05.48\00:28:06.82
that You'll be with
this precious family.
00:28:06.85\00:28:08.98
Pray that we
can see them again."
00:28:09.02\00:28:10.95
And I just started crying.
00:28:10.99\00:28:12.32
I'm like can you believe this
00:28:12.35\00:28:13.92
that the Lord
really broke his heart.
00:28:13.96\00:28:16.39
So you were
mentioning earlier mentally,
00:28:16.42\00:28:18.79
physically and emotionally.
00:28:18.83\00:28:20.23
So this couple wasn't
just or this gentleman.
00:28:20.26\00:28:23.37
And this family wasn't
just ministered to physically
00:28:23.40\00:28:27.10
which is what they came for.
00:28:27.14\00:28:28.87
But mentally and emotionally
00:28:28.90\00:28:30.77
as well healing and restoration.
00:28:30.81\00:28:33.27
And from what you're
saying this man gave his life
00:28:33.31\00:28:36.01
to the Lord Jesus
Christ, was truly born again.
00:28:36.04\00:28:39.25
Thank You, Lord,
at 87, I believe.
00:28:39.28\00:28:41.42
Eighty four. Eighty four.
00:28:41.45\00:28:42.88
At 84, he gave
his life to the Lord.
00:28:42.92\00:28:45.22
You know, I think
00:28:45.25\00:28:46.59
that the statistics
on people of that age
00:28:46.62\00:28:48.72
actually having a
conversion experience
00:28:48.76\00:28:51.33
that statistics are very low.
00:28:51.36\00:28:53.09
So thank You, Lord.
00:28:53.13\00:28:54.46
So it's a lifestyle
center not just for help
00:28:54.50\00:28:57.47
which is the main
purpose of course,
00:28:57.50\00:28:59.87
but for every area
and aspect of your life.
00:28:59.90\00:29:03.24
Now I know we've
got more pictures,
00:29:03.27\00:29:04.87
let's look at more pictures.
00:29:04.91\00:29:06.24
Okay.
00:29:06.27\00:29:07.61
This one, this lady
she was an ICU nurse
00:29:07.64\00:29:10.75
or is an ICU nurse
in Columbia, Kentucky.
00:29:10.78\00:29:13.21
She was referred to as
actually by our mutual friend
00:29:13.25\00:29:15.72
that was also a nurse.
00:29:15.75\00:29:17.35
And this lady, she told me
here in one of the lecture here
00:29:17.39\00:29:21.22
she said that her friend Debbie
00:29:21.26\00:29:24.69
kept hearing her complain
about her health issues.
00:29:24.73\00:29:26.23
And finally she said,
00:29:26.26\00:29:27.60
"Are you really ready
to do something about it?"
00:29:27.63\00:29:29.10
She said, "What
are you talking about?"
00:29:29.13\00:29:30.47
"Well, you need to call,
00:29:30.50\00:29:31.83
you know, I've been
with Lisa at Eden's Pathway.
00:29:31.87\00:29:33.20
So she came,
00:29:33.23\00:29:34.57
and as we were
sitting there talking,
00:29:34.60\00:29:36.00
I said, "So, you know,
what are you suffering with?"
00:29:36.04\00:29:37.37
She told me.
00:29:37.41\00:29:38.74
And I said,
"What are you doing?"
00:29:38.77\00:29:40.11
She said, "I have no clue
about the health message."
00:29:40.14\00:29:42.34
And I said, "Oh, this is great."
00:29:42.38\00:29:44.61
And so we were able to
share everything with her.
00:29:44.65\00:29:47.72
When the guests leave
00:29:47.75\00:29:49.38
that is the time
where we're like,
00:29:49.42\00:29:51.85
"Dear God, I pray that
00:29:51.89\00:29:53.22
they will keep with
their new lifestyle,
00:29:53.25\00:29:55.39
with their new lifestyle
00:29:55.42\00:29:57.23
what they've learned,
that they don't go back."
00:29:57.26\00:29:59.06
You know, Christ told us,
00:29:59.09\00:30:00.43
you know, in the
Bible "Go and sin no more,
00:30:00.46\00:30:02.43
lest a worst
thing come upon you."
00:30:02.46\00:30:04.23
Well, she, about a
week or so after she left,
00:30:04.27\00:30:08.10
she sent me a
friend request on Facebook,
00:30:08.14\00:30:10.11
and so I accepted it.
00:30:10.14\00:30:11.47
And I've been watching her.
00:30:11.51\00:30:12.84
Well, what was
interesting about her posting
00:30:12.87\00:30:15.11
on the pictures
on Facebook was that
00:30:15.14\00:30:17.78
she was actually
staying with her lifestyle,
00:30:17.81\00:30:20.52
she was actually promoting
a plant-based diet of juicings
00:30:20.55\00:30:25.15
and stuff like that.
00:30:25.19\00:30:26.52
And on the way up here
00:30:26.55\00:30:27.96
she actually sent an
invitation for presentation
00:30:27.99\00:30:30.73
on plant-based
diet and all that.
00:30:30.76\00:30:32.66
And I had to decline it
00:30:32.69\00:30:34.03
but it was so exciting
and someone not an Adventist
00:30:34.06\00:30:38.23
but a Christian
00:30:38.27\00:30:39.60
she was sticking
with this lifestyle.
00:30:39.63\00:30:41.00
And that was so encouraging.
00:30:41.04\00:30:42.64
And that not only that,
00:30:42.67\00:30:44.01
but she was also promoting them
00:30:44.04\00:30:45.37
and trying to
encourage other people.
00:30:45.41\00:30:46.74
So not only do you take
them through your program,
00:30:46.78\00:30:49.31
your 10-day program.
00:30:49.34\00:30:50.81
But then there is
follow up to help them
00:30:50.85\00:30:54.62
continue on the right path.
00:30:54.65\00:30:55.98
Yes. Okay.
00:30:56.02\00:30:57.35
And that's the whole objective,
00:30:57.39\00:30:58.72
it's trying to praying
that all of our churches,
00:30:58.75\00:31:00.79
our people when the
guests come especially
00:31:00.82\00:31:04.19
if they refer them,
00:31:04.23\00:31:05.56
that they are willing
to take that opportunity
00:31:05.59\00:31:08.90
to say well, when
they come back say,
00:31:08.93\00:31:10.37
"Well, great
you've experienced this,
00:31:10.40\00:31:12.33
let me continue helping you on,"
00:31:12.37\00:31:14.20
because it's not going
to only benefit the person
00:31:14.24\00:31:16.24
that needed the help
00:31:16.27\00:31:17.61
but it also is
going to help you.
00:31:17.64\00:31:19.71
One thing that I read
in the Spirit of Prophecy
00:31:19.74\00:31:22.98
that actually our
salvation is dependent upon
00:31:23.01\00:31:25.15
how we help others
00:31:25.18\00:31:26.51
because actually
00:31:26.55\00:31:27.88
we're working out
our salvation as well.
00:31:27.92\00:31:29.25
Yeah, I love that.
Next picture, please.
00:31:29.28\00:31:33.02
This was one of the...
00:31:33.05\00:31:34.39
As we talked
about, this is in Windsor,
00:31:34.42\00:31:37.56
Virginia Church there,
00:31:37.59\00:31:39.09
they asked me
00:31:39.13\00:31:40.46
just recently to go up
there and do some training.
00:31:40.50\00:31:42.60
And I was there
the full weekends
00:31:42.63\00:31:44.53
and they've asked
again for us to come back.
00:31:44.57\00:31:47.64
And this is just simply teaching
00:31:47.67\00:31:50.01
the simple health laws.
00:31:50.04\00:31:52.04
And they advertised
00:31:52.07\00:31:53.68
and tried to get the
community to come out.
00:31:53.71\00:31:56.54
Actually what
was nice about it is
00:31:56.58\00:31:58.45
one of our former guest
drove two and a half hours
00:31:58.48\00:32:01.45
just to come to the lecture.
00:32:01.48\00:32:03.08
And it was nice
to see her again.
00:32:03.12\00:32:04.62
It's been about
three or four years
00:32:04.65\00:32:05.99
since we saw her.
00:32:06.02\00:32:07.36
But she's trying her best
to stick with her lifestyle,
00:32:07.39\00:32:10.69
with the
plant-based diet and all that
00:32:10.73\00:32:12.66
and that was very encouraging.
00:32:12.69\00:32:14.23
And so if any of our viewers,
00:32:14.26\00:32:16.00
you know, they're
interested in us coming,
00:32:16.03\00:32:17.70
we'd love to come and share.
00:32:17.73\00:32:20.20
And it's not just sharing we do,
00:32:20.24\00:32:22.30
you know, PowerPoint
presentations hands on.
00:32:22.34\00:32:25.37
But also like leaving
people with literature.
00:32:25.41\00:32:30.61
So we print out
a lot of literature
00:32:30.65\00:32:32.81
so that they
can actually have it
00:32:32.85\00:32:34.32
and take home with them.
00:32:34.35\00:32:35.75
And it's not just
listening to something
00:32:35.78\00:32:37.25
but they actually,
00:32:37.29\00:32:38.62
you know, they have something
that they can take home.
00:32:38.65\00:32:39.99
Have something in
their hand. Yes, Ma'am.
00:32:40.02\00:32:41.59
Well, now that
we've presented that,
00:32:41.62\00:32:46.39
that you do go to
different churches and speak
00:32:46.43\00:32:49.26
and that's part of
what your ministry is.
00:32:49.30\00:32:52.83
I just want you to know
00:32:52.87\00:32:54.20
that we're going
to give you address,
00:32:54.24\00:32:56.64
contact information
here in just a few minutes.
00:32:56.67\00:32:59.21
So get you a pen and paper
00:32:59.24\00:33:01.21
so that you'll be
able to get the address
00:33:01.24\00:33:03.31
so that you can contact them.
00:33:03.35\00:33:05.18
But now I know
we've got more pictures,
00:33:05.21\00:33:07.02
I love these pictures.
00:33:07.05\00:33:08.38
Yes.
00:33:08.42\00:33:09.92
This is our last trip
in the Cayman Islands.
00:33:09.95\00:33:13.99
This was a new church there
00:33:14.02\00:33:15.42
in the Cayman
Islands back in 2012.
00:33:15.46\00:33:17.83
We were there, it's
called the Kings Church.
00:33:17.86\00:33:20.03
And normally on
Fridays and Sabbath nights
00:33:20.06\00:33:21.96
sometimes they
have a joint service.
00:33:22.00\00:33:24.03
There's currently
about 15 animist churches.
00:33:24.07\00:33:26.33
And then using
00:33:26.37\00:33:27.70
when they have a guest speakers,
00:33:27.74\00:33:29.14
they have them
all come together.
00:33:29.17\00:33:30.71
And this is at
the end of a lecture,
00:33:30.74\00:33:32.71
you can see I'm little worn out,
00:33:32.74\00:33:34.74
this is at the end
of two weeks there.
00:33:34.78\00:33:36.24
But, you know,
00:33:36.28\00:33:37.61
and if you want to roll
to the next one as well.
00:33:37.65\00:33:40.75
This is in Ellijay.
00:33:40.78\00:33:43.75
The Ellijay Adventist
Church asked us to do a 10-day
00:33:43.79\00:33:46.42
what I call the
Daniel Light program.
00:33:46.45\00:33:48.02
It's taken our
program on the road,
00:33:48.06\00:33:50.46
and these are the students
that actually graduated.
00:33:50.49\00:33:53.06
We actually started
with I think about 15
00:33:53.09\00:33:57.63
that signed up initially
00:33:57.67\00:33:59.23
but by the end
the program we had 29.
00:33:59.27\00:34:01.60
And it went to
about 65% non-Adventist.
00:34:01.64\00:34:04.87
And so this is the
graduating class there.
00:34:04.91\00:34:08.08
They would come in the morning,
00:34:08.11\00:34:09.44
and we give them their protocol,
00:34:09.48\00:34:10.98
and also their diet,
00:34:11.01\00:34:12.35
and then they come back
at 5 o'clock that afternoon.
00:34:12.38\00:34:14.38
My wife had a light supper
for them prepared in as well.
00:34:14.42\00:34:18.72
And then we do
lectures in the evenings.
00:34:18.75\00:34:20.29
And so we were blessed by it,
00:34:20.32\00:34:23.43
by especially getting
to meet these individuals.
00:34:23.46\00:34:26.36
And so we were able to
take the program to them
00:34:26.39\00:34:28.70
not the full program
00:34:28.73\00:34:30.50
when the people
come into our home,
00:34:30.53\00:34:32.10
but it was something that
00:34:32.13\00:34:33.47
they could benefit to reversing,
00:34:33.50\00:34:35.57
starting reverse diabetes,
reversing high blood pressures,
00:34:35.60\00:34:39.17
and things of that nature so.
00:34:39.21\00:34:40.71
You know, something I wanted us
00:34:40.74\00:34:42.11
to look at were some
of the different ailments,
00:34:42.14\00:34:46.01
I'll use that
word that you address.
00:34:46.05\00:34:49.65
I know you have mentioned lupus,
00:34:49.68\00:34:51.82
and then the
gentleman with cancer.
00:34:51.85\00:34:53.76
So I know these
maladies that you address.
00:34:53.79\00:34:58.99
And what would be
your basic treatment
00:34:59.03\00:35:03.37
when you began with someone
00:35:03.40\00:35:04.77
with something like
lupus or with cancer?
00:35:04.80\00:35:08.07
You mean as far as going through
00:35:08.10\00:35:09.50
what they would go through.
00:35:09.54\00:35:11.51
On kind of a typical day is
00:35:11.54\00:35:14.21
we start them in
cleaning the colon
00:35:14.24\00:35:17.55
because we know
that 90% of the diseases
00:35:17.58\00:35:20.72
come from the colon.
00:35:20.75\00:35:22.08
So we clean the colon out,
so we clean all the organs,
00:35:22.12\00:35:24.75
the blood system.
00:35:24.79\00:35:26.45
And so we do that
through different juices,
00:35:26.49\00:35:28.49
and different supplements,
teas and things of that nature,
00:35:28.52\00:35:31.49
different therapies
it could be, you know,
00:35:31.53\00:35:34.33
hyperbaric, it could
be Russians steam baths,
00:35:34.36\00:35:38.87
or Far Infrareds,
some things of that nature
00:35:38.90\00:35:41.57
just to kind of just
name a couple of things.
00:35:41.60\00:35:44.64
We normally suggest
that people have to go
00:35:44.67\00:35:47.91
and get their blood worked
done to at least have an idea
00:35:47.94\00:35:51.68
that the doctor
can tell him, you know,
00:35:51.71\00:35:53.92
this is what your
current hemoglobin,
00:35:53.95\00:35:55.92
your blood, blood
cell counts, you know,
00:35:55.95\00:35:58.15
white or red blood
cell and your platelets,
00:35:58.19\00:36:00.19
and things of that nature.
00:36:00.22\00:36:02.16
And so that's
kind of a typical day
00:36:02.19\00:36:05.49
that they're there.
00:36:05.53\00:36:06.86
We do juicing with them
because we want their body
00:36:06.90\00:36:10.20
to be able to have
the highest potential
00:36:10.23\00:36:12.00
of healing itself.
00:36:12.03\00:36:13.40
And so we encourage a
higher percentage preferably.
00:36:13.44\00:36:18.01
You know, 60% raw diets
00:36:18.04\00:36:21.21
or more depending on their case.
00:36:21.24\00:36:24.18
And then we normally
typically suggest, you know,
00:36:24.21\00:36:26.92
looking 3 months, 6
months, sometimes 12 months out
00:36:26.95\00:36:30.72
and staying with that protocol.
00:36:30.75\00:36:33.69
I know some centers
have 30-day programs,
00:36:33.72\00:36:37.06
or 21, or 18 days.
00:36:37.09\00:36:38.76
And we used to do
that when we first started.
00:36:38.79\00:36:40.83
But we found out that
a lot of times the people
00:36:40.86\00:36:44.53
that left they
wouldn't stick with it.
00:36:44.57\00:36:46.63
So what we've recommend is
they come to us for 10 days.
00:36:46.67\00:36:51.01
And then
depending on the severity
00:36:51.04\00:36:53.71
and the advancement of
whatever they're dealing with
00:36:53.74\00:36:56.01
either coming back in 30
days, sometimes 90 days out.
00:36:56.04\00:36:59.65
And a lot, because
when they first come,
00:36:59.68\00:37:02.08
there's a lot of
apprehension, they don't know
00:37:02.12\00:37:03.89
what they're
dealing with plus, you know,
00:37:03.92\00:37:05.49
they've been
diagnosed with cancer.
00:37:05.52\00:37:06.92
So that they're
dealing with all that
00:37:06.96\00:37:08.49
or they have
diabetes or whatever.
00:37:08.52\00:37:10.53
And so but when they
come back the second time
00:37:10.56\00:37:13.06
that allows him to
say, "Well, you know,
00:37:13.09\00:37:14.66
I've already experienced
this, so I kind of know
00:37:14.70\00:37:16.20
what I'm doing
getting into again.
00:37:16.23\00:37:18.23
But it allows them to
actually ask more questions
00:37:18.27\00:37:20.67
the second time.
00:37:20.70\00:37:22.04
And it increases
the probability of them
00:37:22.07\00:37:24.94
sticking with
what they've learned
00:37:24.97\00:37:27.38
because sometimes they lose
that encouragement support so.
00:37:27.41\00:37:30.71
Okay, Lisa, you like you have
something you wanted to add.
00:37:30.75\00:37:33.52
Yes.
00:37:33.55\00:37:34.88
I would like to add
that we try to focus on
00:37:34.92\00:37:38.12
break down, rebuild and restore.
00:37:38.15\00:37:40.32
And then like I said mentally,
physically, and spiritually.
00:37:40.36\00:37:43.76
So when they come, we send them
00:37:43.79\00:37:45.39
through a
cleansing detox program.
00:37:45.43\00:37:49.16
And that way the body
usually knows what to do
00:37:49.20\00:37:56.14
if it's given the
resources, it just knows
00:37:56.17\00:37:58.87
that's how God fearfully
and wonderfully created us.
00:37:58.91\00:38:01.58
And so once we
start cleaning out
00:38:01.61\00:38:04.21
and getting the toxins
and poisons out of the system,
00:38:04.25\00:38:07.38
then the body knows
pretty much what to do.
00:38:07.42\00:38:10.92
And so we are
there to help assist.
00:38:10.95\00:38:13.72
And it's...
00:38:13.76\00:38:15.36
We've been doing this
like we said for 17 years.
00:38:15.39\00:38:17.99
And we have the health lectures.
00:38:18.03\00:38:22.50
We do show them
how to do juicing.
00:38:22.53\00:38:25.70
We used to have cooking classes
00:38:25.73\00:38:27.70
but we really don't
do that as much anymore
00:38:27.74\00:38:30.41
because they
come into the kitchen
00:38:30.44\00:38:32.44
and they're watching me
00:38:32.47\00:38:33.81
as I'm already
doing all of this anyway.
00:38:33.84\00:38:35.18
So it's pretty
much a cooking class
00:38:35.21\00:38:36.54
but it's not like a real
lay everything out cooking class
00:38:36.58\00:38:40.08
'cause there's
just the two of us
00:38:40.12\00:38:41.45
we work as a team.
00:38:41.48\00:38:44.35
And so the Lord
has really blessed.
00:38:44.39\00:38:47.46
So you give them
the tools that they need
00:38:47.49\00:38:50.13
to go back home
and then continue.
00:38:50.16\00:38:51.56
Yes, Ma'am.
00:38:51.59\00:38:52.93
They go home educated
00:38:52.96\00:38:54.30
and most
everyone that comes there
00:38:54.33\00:38:56.83
have pretty much
never done this before.
00:38:56.87\00:38:59.77
So this is all new to them.
00:38:59.80\00:39:01.87
So we try to get them educated
so that when they do go home.
00:39:01.90\00:39:06.61
But we try not to overwhelm them
00:39:06.64\00:39:08.44
because this is a
whole lifestyle change.
00:39:08.48\00:39:10.51
It's not something you're just
going to be over in two days.
00:39:10.55\00:39:14.58
I mean, it takes some time.
00:39:14.62\00:39:16.62
And, you know, we're told
that the body takes time to heal
00:39:16.65\00:39:21.62
when you're trying
to do things naturally.
00:39:21.66\00:39:23.46
It takes a process.
00:39:23.49\00:39:25.43
And so we try to
encourage them that, you know,
00:39:25.46\00:39:30.13
your body can respond,
00:39:30.17\00:39:31.67
it's just going
to take some time.
00:39:31.70\00:39:34.14
And as we do our
part, the beautiful thing is
00:39:34.17\00:39:36.94
God always does His part.
00:39:36.97\00:39:38.44
He never misses a beat.
00:39:38.47\00:39:41.48
That's something we
can all praise God for.
00:39:41.51\00:39:44.25
He never ceases to
amaze me at how He works.
00:39:44.28\00:39:48.28
And we try to
encourage them too is, you know,
00:39:48.32\00:39:50.35
happiness, you know, Psalms 150.
00:39:50.39\00:39:52.65
"You know,
everything that has breath,
00:39:52.69\00:39:54.52
praise the Lord."
00:39:54.56\00:39:56.56
Happiness is being happy
and being surrounded by people
00:39:56.59\00:39:58.79
that are happy.
00:39:58.83\00:40:00.26
It's very effective
to healing the body.
00:40:00.30\00:40:03.60
The other thing is
being patient, you know,
00:40:03.63\00:40:05.50
we quote, you
know, Revelation 14:12,
00:40:05.53\00:40:08.07
"Here is the
patience of saints."
00:40:08.10\00:40:09.44
You've got to be patient
because like my wife just said
00:40:09.47\00:40:10.97
it takes time.
00:40:11.01\00:40:12.34
And then the other
thing is it is time.
00:40:12.37\00:40:15.41
Time we don't know
00:40:15.44\00:40:16.91
when it's between
one the guest leave,
00:40:16.95\00:40:19.18
it's between them and God as to,
00:40:19.21\00:40:21.32
are you going to continue this.
00:40:21.35\00:40:22.95
And then just
wait upon the Lord.
00:40:22.98\00:40:25.35
So mentally, physically,
and emotionally, spiritually.
00:40:25.39\00:40:29.79
I know that we've
got more pictures.
00:40:29.82\00:40:32.03
So let's look at them.
00:40:32.06\00:40:34.56
This one is the another
picture in Cayman Islands.
00:40:34.60\00:40:38.33
So this is South
sound community center.
00:40:38.37\00:40:42.04
This was right on the
beaches were a beautiful place.
00:40:42.07\00:40:44.97
And people were just coming
and it was pretty packed there
00:40:45.01\00:40:47.81
as you see the meetings there.
00:40:47.84\00:40:49.98
Again this is
lectures and training,
00:40:50.01\00:40:51.91
trying to train the individuals.
00:40:51.95\00:40:53.52
And what was kind of
interesting there was
00:40:53.55\00:40:55.35
one lady, her
sister was a naturopath.
00:40:55.38\00:40:58.65
And I had the book
"Minister of Healing"
00:40:58.69\00:41:00.62
and I was showing it.
00:41:00.66\00:41:01.99
And I said, "You
know, the referring it to,
00:41:02.02\00:41:03.76
I said, this is
a fabulous book."
00:41:03.79\00:41:05.13
And well, one lady
said, "Can I have it?"
00:41:05.16\00:41:08.73
And I said,
00:41:08.76\00:41:10.10
"Yeah, we'll try to
see if we can find you."
00:41:10.13\00:41:11.47
She said, "No,
I want your book."
00:41:11.50\00:41:13.44
And I said, "You want my
book?" And she said, "Yes."
00:41:13.47\00:41:16.00
Well, but mines all marked in.
00:41:16.04\00:41:17.44
The pages were turned
on the corners, you know,
00:41:17.47\00:41:19.71
where I like
certain quotes and stuff."
00:41:19.74\00:41:21.64
And she said, "Well,
that's why I want it.
00:41:21.68\00:41:23.45
I want your book."
00:41:23.48\00:41:25.15
I said, "Okay." So
I gave her the book.
00:41:25.18\00:41:27.05
Well, the next
night I was talking about
00:41:27.08\00:41:28.42
the ministry of
healing again quoting,
00:41:28.45\00:41:30.42
she raised her hand again.
00:41:30.45\00:41:31.79
I said, "Yes."
00:41:31.82\00:41:33.15
She said, "You know,
I was reading that book.
00:41:33.19\00:41:36.36
I was reading that book
until 3 o'clock in the morning.
00:41:36.39\00:41:39.23
I couldn't put it down
00:41:39.26\00:41:40.60
and I realized what time it was.
00:41:40.63\00:41:41.96
I've got to get up in two hours
to get ready to go to work."
00:41:42.00\00:41:44.50
And I said, "You did what?"
00:41:44.53\00:41:46.23
She said, "That is
such a fabulous book."
00:41:46.27\00:41:48.24
And I said, "Praise God."
00:41:48.27\00:41:49.90
You know, so that
was the experience
00:41:49.94\00:41:52.47
when we were down there so.
00:41:52.51\00:41:53.84
All right.
00:41:53.88\00:41:55.21
Well, I know that
we've talked about
00:41:55.24\00:41:57.88
the maladies, lupus,
diabetes, cancers, diseases.
00:41:57.91\00:42:03.95
But I know
00:42:03.99\00:42:05.32
that you also
minister to addictions.
00:42:05.35\00:42:09.22
So would you
like to address that?
00:42:09.26\00:42:11.69
Yes.
00:42:11.73\00:42:13.06
I think we may
have mentioned earlier,
00:42:13.09\00:42:15.73
we've taken the individuals
00:42:15.76\00:42:17.93
that either have
a drinking problem.
00:42:17.97\00:42:21.60
That have and
that's been on drugs.
00:42:21.64\00:42:27.31
And normally those do
take a little bit longer.
00:42:27.34\00:42:29.24
Sometimes 10 days,
00:42:29.28\00:42:30.61
sometimes longer
depending on what type of drugs
00:42:30.65\00:42:33.18
that they've
been on and all that.
00:42:33.21\00:42:35.78
And so those are kind of,
00:42:35.82\00:42:38.22
I guess
encompassing of all of them
00:42:38.25\00:42:40.76
that had those
type of addictions
00:42:40.79\00:42:43.86
that they can come,
00:42:43.89\00:42:45.23
we can clean them
out, also pray with them,
00:42:45.26\00:42:46.73
and try to encourage
them to get on the right path
00:42:46.76\00:42:50.83
and the right process as well.
00:42:50.87\00:42:52.80
And so but, you
know, while they're with us
00:42:52.83\00:42:58.14
we always are trying
to find some support group
00:42:58.17\00:43:00.98
because they can relapse.
00:43:01.01\00:43:03.51
And so if they are in
00:43:03.55\00:43:05.15
with someone that
can encourage them
00:43:05.18\00:43:06.61
and that they are
held accountable to that,
00:43:06.65\00:43:09.48
you know, that
they respect his will,
00:43:09.52\00:43:11.45
then they will not concuss.
00:43:11.49\00:43:12.82
We had one gentleman
that actually came back,
00:43:12.85\00:43:14.82
he came to us, had
a drinking problem.
00:43:14.86\00:43:16.62
And I said, "You need to get
back to the Adventist church."
00:43:16.66\00:43:18.73
And he said, "I'm going
to." And he was in Arizona.
00:43:18.76\00:43:21.76
And so otherwise
you're going to come back.
00:43:21.80\00:43:23.40
Well, a year later he came back.
00:43:23.43\00:43:25.70
And I said, "You
know, I told you,
00:43:25.73\00:43:27.64
you know I'm
trying to encourage you
00:43:27.67\00:43:29.00
so I'm going to move in
00:43:29.04\00:43:30.37
with my parents
and stuff like that."
00:43:30.41\00:43:31.87
And so there was
always constant challenge
00:43:31.91\00:43:34.04
and that's why it's
imperative that regardless
00:43:34.08\00:43:36.31
if you have addictions or,
you know, or health problems,
00:43:36.34\00:43:39.11
you need that support.
00:43:39.15\00:43:40.48
You need a support.
Yes, that's so true.
00:43:40.52\00:43:42.58
Let's see the next picture.
00:43:42.62\00:43:45.59
This is again in
the Cayman Islands.
00:43:45.62\00:43:48.19
I love this opportunity
00:43:48.22\00:43:49.99
because the gentleman
that invited us to come down,
00:43:50.03\00:43:53.73
he actually used to
be in the music industry.
00:43:53.76\00:43:57.57
And he gave up
00:43:57.60\00:43:58.93
millions of
dollars of equipment,
00:43:58.97\00:44:00.87
it was kind of like, you know,
00:44:00.90\00:44:02.57
big music
company here in America.
00:44:02.60\00:44:06.54
And he told me,
00:44:06.57\00:44:08.51
so I'm going have you
speak in this in Georgetown.
00:44:08.54\00:44:11.81
And it was the ghetto,
the worst part of town.
00:44:11.85\00:44:14.62
And I said, "Okay."
00:44:14.65\00:44:15.98
And I thought, you know,
I was just going to speak
00:44:16.02\00:44:17.62
for a couple of
minutes or whatever.
00:44:17.65\00:44:18.99
When we pulled in
00:44:19.02\00:44:20.36
there was some
gentlemen over there
00:44:20.39\00:44:21.99
that were had their
boom box just blaring.
00:44:22.02\00:44:24.73
And one of the
gentlemen that was with us
00:44:24.76\00:44:26.73
went over and said,
00:44:26.76\00:44:28.10
"Hey, we're going to
these meetings and stuff.
00:44:28.13\00:44:30.07
And can you turn it
down." And he said, "Sure."
00:44:30.10\00:44:33.30
And so I was talking to
Daryl, and Daryl's like,
00:44:33.34\00:44:37.91
"You have an hour and a
half." And I'm like "I do what?"
00:44:37.94\00:44:39.74
Hour and half. "Hour
and half to present."
00:44:39.77\00:44:41.38
I'm like "I do what?"
00:44:41.41\00:44:42.74
So I'm here
trying to get my computer
00:44:42.78\00:44:44.11
'cause he said,
00:44:44.15\00:44:45.48
"well, there's a truck
coming with a projector,
00:44:45.51\00:44:46.85
with a sound system,
with chairs, and everything,
00:44:46.88\00:44:49.78
whole production pretty much."
00:44:49.82\00:44:51.45
And so I was
trying to work on that.
00:44:51.49\00:44:53.12
And then as the meeting started
00:44:53.15\00:44:55.52
then people, you
know, drug dealers...
00:44:55.56\00:44:57.19
Off the streets.
00:44:57.23\00:44:58.56
They were coming off
the streets and just coming.
00:44:58.59\00:45:01.40
The drug dealers
00:45:01.43\00:45:02.76
because you were in
the worst part of the town.
00:45:02.80\00:45:04.20
Worst part of the town.
00:45:04.23\00:45:05.57
Also you had a
ready made audience.
00:45:05.60\00:45:06.94
Yes.
00:45:06.97\00:45:08.30
And, but that was
the best experience
00:45:08.34\00:45:09.67
I've ever had because
these people they were,
00:45:09.70\00:45:12.01
you know, I would hear
them saying, "Praise God."
00:45:12.04\00:45:15.31
My wife Lisa was
taking the pictures.
00:45:15.34\00:45:17.48
And she was crying.
00:45:17.51\00:45:18.85
And she said those
that are were all there.
00:45:18.88\00:45:21.72
And it was just
people need the Lord,
00:45:21.75\00:45:24.92
they're looking for the Lord.
00:45:24.95\00:45:26.49
So and that we
were able to reach them
00:45:26.52\00:45:28.99
where they were at.
00:45:29.02\00:45:30.46
Okay, so, Lisa, you were
right in the middle of this.
00:45:30.49\00:45:35.70
What did you think of
all these that was going on?
00:45:35.73\00:45:39.17
Well, it was, again
it was such a blessing
00:45:39.20\00:45:41.40
because it just
goes to show that,
00:45:41.44\00:45:44.21
you know, the gospel is
going to go to all the world.
00:45:44.24\00:45:47.48
And the Lord is
just waiting for those
00:45:47.51\00:45:50.51
that are
willing to go and share.
00:45:50.55\00:45:52.68
And I do get emotional.
00:45:52.71\00:45:55.82
So I was right there crying
because I saw these people,
00:45:55.85\00:45:59.55
they were just
coming from off the streets.
00:45:59.59\00:46:01.59
And one came up
00:46:01.62\00:46:02.96
and he actually had
alcohol in his hand.
00:46:02.99\00:46:05.99
And he looks at me and he says,
"Am I supposed to be here?"
00:46:06.03\00:46:08.40
I said, "Oh,
certainly you can be here."
00:46:08.43\00:46:10.60
You know, so
it's such a blessing.
00:46:10.63\00:46:12.87
And the thing that I
always trying to remember is
00:46:12.90\00:46:16.60
when we started
this ministry years ago,
00:46:16.64\00:46:18.34
I said, "Father, please
help us to always be humble.
00:46:18.37\00:46:21.98
Help us to remember
that this is about You.
00:46:22.01\00:46:24.08
This is not about me,
00:46:24.11\00:46:25.68
it's not about my
husband, it's not...
00:46:25.71\00:46:28.15
We're just willing to be used
00:46:28.18\00:46:29.52
wherever You see fit to use us."
00:46:29.55\00:46:31.55
And He has in many
ways, He has blessed.
00:46:31.59\00:46:35.99
And we literally
have seen miracles.
00:46:36.02\00:46:39.26
I mean, we really have.
00:46:39.29\00:46:40.86
And it wasn't
these big huge miracles.
00:46:40.90\00:46:44.87
I mean, miracles
as in we see something
00:46:44.90\00:46:48.17
where we're doing
therapy with an individual.
00:46:48.20\00:46:50.07
And I'm there and I'm saying,
"Father, I've done everything.
00:46:50.11\00:46:53.01
I've done
everything I know to do.
00:46:53.04\00:46:55.28
I don't have any
other resources."
00:46:55.31\00:46:58.21
And He's like, "Oh yes, you do."
00:46:58.25\00:46:59.58
And I'm like,
00:46:59.61\00:47:00.95
"Father, I don't
have any other resources.
00:47:00.98\00:47:02.32
I've done the hydrotherapy.
I've done the massage.
00:47:02.35\00:47:04.55
I've done the cleansing that,
00:47:04.59\00:47:06.76
you know, I don't
know what else to do."
00:47:06.79\00:47:08.96
And He's like, "Well,
why don't you just ask Me."
00:47:08.99\00:47:12.23
And I'm like,
"Father, you know what?
00:47:12.26\00:47:14.03
That's what I need to
do. I need to just ask You."
00:47:14.06\00:47:16.83
And He never ceases to
amaze me at what He does
00:47:16.87\00:47:20.07
because whatever
situation we're in,
00:47:20.10\00:47:23.10
I can just call upon Him.
00:47:23.14\00:47:24.47
I remember one time,
00:47:24.51\00:47:25.84
I remember crying
out my soul to Him.
00:47:25.87\00:47:27.38
I was like, "Father, I'm
not the great physician here.
00:47:27.41\00:47:30.45
I've done
everything I know to do.
00:47:30.48\00:47:32.58
Please do not leave us now."
00:47:32.61\00:47:34.98
And immediately,
I mean, immediately
00:47:35.02\00:47:38.22
that person just started
changing the whole demeanor,
00:47:38.25\00:47:41.09
everything about the person
that we were doing therapy with
00:47:41.12\00:47:43.19
'cause we were doing
a particular therapy.
00:47:43.22\00:47:45.33
And I said,
"Father, we need You here."
00:47:45.36\00:47:48.26
And it's just the little
things that He encourages.
00:47:48.30\00:47:50.40
It's not the big,
00:47:50.43\00:47:51.77
it's the little
stuff that He reminds us
00:47:51.80\00:47:53.67
that He's still in charge.
00:47:53.70\00:47:55.04
He's right there with you. Yes.
00:47:55.07\00:47:56.50
And truly as you
mentioned earlier
00:47:56.54\00:47:58.67
to the gentleman with cancer
00:47:58.71\00:48:00.08
"He never leaves us
and He never forsakes us.
00:48:00.11\00:48:02.74
You know, I've
known people that smoke,
00:48:02.78\00:48:04.68
people that were
addicted to drugs or alcohol.
00:48:04.71\00:48:08.08
And not one if you
ask them they would say,
00:48:08.12\00:48:10.85
"I wish I had never
smoked the first cigarette,
00:48:10.89\00:48:12.82
I wish I'd never
taken the first drugs,
00:48:12.85\00:48:15.79
I wish I'd never
taken that first drink."
00:48:15.82\00:48:18.06
So we see these
people and we think,
00:48:18.09\00:48:19.96
"Oh, they are,
00:48:20.00\00:48:22.06
you know, in
such terrible shape,
00:48:22.10\00:48:23.67
shame on them."
00:48:23.70\00:48:25.03
Each one of them if you
were to get to their heart
00:48:25.07\00:48:27.90
would give anything
00:48:27.94\00:48:30.01
if they could be
set free of this bondage
00:48:30.04\00:48:32.97
that they find themselves in.
00:48:33.01\00:48:34.51
Well, I know that also you
work with marriage counseling.
00:48:34.54\00:48:38.61
And I need more,
00:48:38.65\00:48:39.98
the time is rapidly
getting away from us.
00:48:40.02\00:48:41.85
I didn't want us
to overlook this.
00:48:41.88\00:48:44.32
Tell us about the marriage...
00:48:44.35\00:48:45.69
I know so many
marriages that need help.
00:48:45.72\00:48:48.42
Do the husband and wife come?
00:48:48.46\00:48:50.66
How does this work? Yes.
00:48:50.69\00:48:52.19
We have a course
that is basically
00:48:52.23\00:48:56.46
it's geared from John Regier.
00:48:56.50\00:48:59.87
He has it's
Caring From The Heart.
00:48:59.90\00:49:02.44
And we had someone years
ago that came to us and said,
00:49:02.47\00:49:06.04
"You know, this man
is not an Adventist,
00:49:06.07\00:49:08.94
but he has a lot
of good resources.
00:49:08.98\00:49:11.68
And you guys being in ministry,
00:49:11.71\00:49:13.58
you might want
to consider this."
00:49:13.62\00:49:15.62
And so everything he
has is biblical based.
00:49:15.65\00:49:19.02
And so we tried to go from that
00:49:19.05\00:49:20.96
and along with
Spirit of Prophecy.
00:49:20.99\00:49:23.89
And we have been able to
work with several couples.
00:49:23.93\00:49:27.76
And the Lord has
blessed in that area as well.
00:49:27.80\00:49:30.57
We're finding that
especially a lot of individuals
00:49:30.60\00:49:34.27
that are missionaries that,
00:49:34.30\00:49:37.24
you know, they are divorcing,
or going through divorce.
00:49:37.27\00:49:39.07
And so and we as
a church, as a body
00:49:39.11\00:49:42.41
we need to really
pray and encourage
00:49:42.44\00:49:44.35
and give wisdom
to these individuals.
00:49:44.38\00:49:46.61
And lot of it
deals with finances,
00:49:46.65\00:49:48.45
that's the core of it.
00:49:48.48\00:49:50.32
And so I mean, I
know there's other issues
00:49:50.35\00:49:51.95
but the ones that we work
00:49:51.99\00:49:53.32
with seems like it's
the financial part of it.
00:49:53.36\00:49:55.59
And so, you know,
00:49:55.62\00:49:56.96
we are trying to
work with missionaries.
00:49:56.99\00:49:59.66
And, you know, we do a
little soliciting for them
00:49:59.69\00:50:02.33
then they come to us.
00:50:02.36\00:50:03.70
And so we even in
our lifestyle program,
00:50:03.73\00:50:06.74
we've counseled with a lot
of marriages over the years,
00:50:06.77\00:50:10.67
then again it was
not our goal, our focus.
00:50:10.71\00:50:14.61
Just like, you know,
we talk about diabetics
00:50:14.64\00:50:16.58
and people that have cancer.
00:50:16.61\00:50:17.95
When we first started this,
that was never our intention.
00:50:17.98\00:50:20.82
It's just when God
leads, you've got to follow.
00:50:20.85\00:50:24.02
And it's the same
thing with the marriage
00:50:24.05\00:50:25.62
or the drug
addictions or whatever,
00:50:25.65\00:50:28.72
this is not our intention.
00:50:28.76\00:50:30.33
And so I want to make
sure that our viewers know that
00:50:30.36\00:50:33.23
this is not
something we intended to do,
00:50:33.26\00:50:35.06
it's just God says, "No,
I'm sending you these people."
00:50:35.10\00:50:38.30
And therefore we
had to be prepared
00:50:38.33\00:50:40.34
to be able to help them.
00:50:40.37\00:50:42.84
Yes, we want to,
00:50:42.87\00:50:44.84
it's more of a
marriage enrichment.
00:50:44.87\00:50:48.24
And the same way with the help
that's more of just educating,
00:50:48.28\00:50:51.71
it's a lifestyle.
00:50:51.75\00:50:54.98
And we want to
help wherever we can.
00:50:55.02\00:50:58.85
And we're just grateful
that the Lord has allowed us
00:50:58.89\00:51:01.86
to continue to bless others.
00:51:01.89\00:51:05.16
I just want to
see souls in heaven.
00:51:05.19\00:51:08.10
That's beautiful.
00:51:08.13\00:51:09.46
I have been so encouraged today.
00:51:09.50\00:51:11.30
