I want to spend my life

00:00:18.65\00:00:23.85

00:00:23.89\00:00:29.76
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.79\00:00:34.40

Good friend of the 3ABN
family and my personal friend,
00:01:28.08\00:01:30.75
Stephanie Dawn is here today.
00:01:30.79\00:01:32.12
Good to have
you here, Stephanie.
00:01:32.15\00:01:33.49
Good to be
here. Good to be back.
00:01:33.52\00:01:34.86
I know.
00:01:34.89\00:01:36.22
I tell you we have, we
have a history together.
00:01:36.26\00:01:37.59
We do. We do.
00:01:37.63\00:01:38.96
And it's good to
have you here today
00:01:38.99\00:01:40.33
to be able to talk about
00:01:40.36\00:01:41.66
how the Lord has
worked in our lives
00:01:41.70\00:01:43.03
and yours in the past.
00:01:43.06\00:01:44.40
And how He's
gonna work in your life
00:01:44.43\00:01:45.77
and continues to
do so in the future.
00:01:45.80\00:01:47.14
Yes, absolutely. And
music is a big part of it.
00:01:47.17\00:01:48.50
It is. It really is.
00:01:48.54\00:01:49.87
And so for those of you,
00:01:49.90\00:01:51.24
if you're watching the program
and listening to the program,
00:01:51.27\00:01:52.61
just we're gonna
spend some time today.
00:01:52.64\00:01:54.24
We're gonna hear some music.
00:01:54.28\00:01:55.61
Stephanie is gonna
sing about four songs.
00:01:55.64\00:01:58.01
We're gonna walk
through her life,
00:01:58.05\00:01:59.38
also the testimony of
how God has led her life.
00:01:59.41\00:02:01.85
And we just thank
you for your prayers
00:02:01.88\00:02:04.19
and your financial support
00:02:04.22\00:02:05.79
that makes this
network go and grow,
00:02:05.82\00:02:08.49
getting ready for
the coming of Jesus.
00:02:08.52\00:02:10.73
Now, Stephanie, I'm
gonna just dive right in.
00:02:10.76\00:02:13.70
First of all,
good to have you here.
00:02:13.73\00:02:15.03
Yeah, it's good
to be here again.
00:02:15.06\00:02:16.40
I've been here quite a few times
00:02:16.43\00:02:18.27
and it's really
good to be back again.
00:02:18.30\00:02:19.93
Yeah, almost 20 years.
00:02:20.00\00:02:21.50
Yeah, that was 1991,
00:02:21.54\00:02:22.87
was the first
time that I was here.
00:02:22.90\00:02:25.21
So yeah...
00:02:25.24\00:02:26.64
And whenever we sing together
or whenever you're around,
00:02:26.68\00:02:29.88
we always to say
00:02:29.91\00:02:31.25
"Praise the Lord for
the ministry of Stephanie."
00:02:31.28\00:02:34.62
Well, tell us a
little bit about you,
00:02:34.65\00:02:35.98
because you're gonna
sing some songs today.
00:02:36.02\00:02:37.55
But I just kind of want people
00:02:37.59\00:02:39.02
that are looking for
the first time and saying,
00:02:39.05\00:02:40.66
"Well, who is Stephanie Dawn?"
00:02:40.72\00:02:42.36
Kind of give us an overview
of who you are, what you do
00:02:42.39\00:02:44.43
and, you know, a
little bit about your life.
00:02:44.46\00:02:46.16
Well, I have been
totally blind since birth.
00:02:46.19\00:02:49.56
I have other challenges as well.
00:02:49.60\00:02:51.73
But I have come to
realize that God has taught me
00:02:51.77\00:02:57.24
the most valuable lessons
00:02:57.27\00:02:58.77
through my most
difficult trials.
00:02:58.81\00:03:01.94
And, for which I
am actually thankful.
00:03:01.98\00:03:05.41
And He's
bringing me to the place
00:03:05.45\00:03:07.32
where I can actually
thank Him for those trials.
00:03:07.35\00:03:10.29
And so that is
part of what formed
00:03:10.32\00:03:12.65
our music ministry,
"Dawn of Hope Ministry"
00:03:12.69\00:03:15.19
and we use music as the
vehicle for the testimony
00:03:15.22\00:03:19.89
that God has given
me and we travel around
00:03:19.93\00:03:21.96
the United States
presenting musical programs
00:03:22.00\00:03:26.00
that include songs
00:03:26.03\00:03:27.40
and spoken testimony at churches
00:03:27.44\00:03:29.74
and camp meetings
00:03:29.77\00:03:31.11
and whatever venues that
God brings into our path.
00:03:31.14\00:03:35.18
And from the time...
00:03:35.21\00:03:36.54
I mean, when you think
about being born blind,
00:03:36.58\00:03:39.11
but there's a...
00:03:39.15\00:03:40.48
I would use this
term in a broad...
00:03:40.52\00:03:41.85
Since there's an inner
vision that God has given to you
00:03:41.88\00:03:44.82
to connect with Him,
00:03:44.85\00:03:46.39
to communicate
the message of hope
00:03:46.42\00:03:48.36
because every time
I've heard you sing...
00:03:48.39\00:03:50.19
I mean we've been
together with family reunions,
00:03:50.23\00:03:52.49
remember Voice of Prophecy.
00:03:52.53\00:03:53.86
Oh, yes. Yes,
good memories for me.
00:03:53.90\00:03:55.93
Did number of those together.
00:03:55.96\00:03:58.23
We used to call
that the hoedown,
00:03:58.27\00:03:59.60
everybody get together.
00:03:59.63\00:04:01.10
And it was a... Yeah.
00:04:01.14\00:04:02.47
But whenever we practiced,
00:04:02.50\00:04:03.91
you know,
sometimes people didn't see
00:04:03.94\00:04:05.67
the highlights
of those programs,
00:04:05.71\00:04:07.51
because when we practice
we really let our hair downs.
00:04:07.58\00:04:09.48
We do.
00:04:09.51\00:04:10.85
And for me I've felt like
00:04:10.88\00:04:12.21
it was a glimpse of
what heaven would be like.
00:04:12.25\00:04:14.38
Just the joyous Adventist family
00:04:14.42\00:04:16.62
that we all were.
00:04:16.69\00:04:18.02
And so there and then you sung
with 3ABN a number of times.
00:04:18.05\00:04:20.36
Yes.
00:04:20.39\00:04:21.72
And we've had a chance
00:04:21.76\00:04:23.09
to sing together on
couple of occasions.
00:04:23.12\00:04:24.79
We have. We have. We have.
00:04:24.83\00:04:27.20
Now, tell me what
music means to you?
00:04:27.23\00:04:29.83
Well, I think
music can often express
00:04:29.86\00:04:34.10
what spoken words can't.
00:04:34.14\00:04:35.60
And I think it
can awaken emotions
00:04:35.64\00:04:39.07
that are inside of
you and just really
00:04:39.11\00:04:42.04
articulate feelings and thoughts
00:04:42.08\00:04:46.88
and spiritual
concepts in its own unique way.
00:04:46.92\00:04:51.42
That maybe some
people may understand
00:04:51.45\00:04:53.15
more clearly than even
the spoken word at times.
00:04:53.19\00:04:57.89
And so, I'm
gonna use a term here
00:04:57.93\00:05:00.23
that leads us
into this first song
00:05:00.26\00:05:02.56
that I want our
audience to hear.
00:05:02.60\00:05:04.60
The song called "From
the Rising of the Sun."
00:05:04.63\00:05:07.27
It's an ironic title
because when sun rises,
00:05:07.34\00:05:10.61
it continues to
increase in light.
00:05:10.64\00:05:12.77
Tell us about that song?
00:05:12.81\00:05:14.28
Well, that song is
based on Psalms 113:3, 4.
00:05:14.31\00:05:20.42
And what that song says
to me is that praising God
00:05:20.45\00:05:24.55
is not just a time of
prayer when we praise Him.
00:05:24.59\00:05:29.89
Praising Him is the way
00:05:29.92\00:05:31.79
we live our lives
from the rising of the sun
00:05:31.83\00:05:35.40
to its setting.
00:05:35.43\00:05:36.77
The name of the
Lord is to be praised.
00:05:36.83\00:05:38.97
It is a
continual way of thinking
00:05:39.00\00:05:42.60
and the way of
speaking to God and feeling
00:05:42.64\00:05:45.01
throughout the entire
day is continually living
00:05:45.04\00:05:48.44
in that
atmosphere of praise to God.
00:05:48.48\00:05:50.75
Wow. Wow.
00:05:50.81\00:05:52.15
Well, thank you
for that explanation
00:05:52.18\00:05:53.52
because it's true
00:05:53.55\00:05:54.88
that when we
wake up in the morning
00:05:54.92\00:05:56.25
what we do during the day.
00:05:56.28\00:05:57.65
As Romans 12:2 says,
you know, often refers to,
00:05:57.69\00:06:01.56
"This is your
spiritual act of worship."
00:06:01.59\00:06:03.76
But, that's in fact what happens
00:06:03.79\00:06:05.93
when we dedicate
our lives to the Lord.
00:06:05.96\00:06:07.86
The moment we wake up
to the time we go to bed,
00:06:07.86\00:06:10.10
it's continual worship.
00:06:10.17\00:06:11.50
Is that correct?
Yeah, absolutely.
00:06:11.53\00:06:12.87
And I would actually
even go deeper than this.
00:06:12.90\00:06:15.47
You know, it
says in Psalm 1 that,
00:06:15.50\00:06:17.81
you know,
00:06:17.84\00:06:19.17
"His delight is in
the law of the Lord,
00:06:19.21\00:06:20.58
and in His law doth he
meditate day and night."
00:06:20.61\00:06:25.35
And I'm certain
that David was not saying
00:06:25.38\00:06:28.62
that we force ourselves
to stay awake all night.
00:06:28.65\00:06:31.65
But what really hit
me from that statement
00:06:31.69\00:06:34.19
is that when we
are so close to God
00:06:34.26\00:06:36.52
even in our sleep,
00:06:36.56\00:06:37.96
even in our dreams we
can meditate upon His law.
00:06:37.99\00:06:41.83
Wonderful.
00:06:41.86\00:06:43.20
And we have a
song entitled Psalm 1
00:06:43.23\00:06:44.57
which comes
later in the program.
00:06:44.60\00:06:45.93
Yes. Yes.
00:06:45.97\00:06:47.30
Well, thank you
that, you've introduced
00:06:47.34\00:06:48.67
"From the Rising of the
Sun," sit back and be blessed.
00:06:48.70\00:06:51.44
From the rising of the sun
00:07:04.55\00:07:08.62
Until its setting
00:07:08.66\00:07:13.43
The name of the Lord
00:07:13.46\00:07:16.97
Is to be praised
00:07:17.00\00:07:21.14
From the rising of the sun
00:07:21.17\00:07:24.84
Until its setting
00:07:24.87\00:07:29.71
The name of the Lord
00:07:29.74\00:07:33.05
Is to be praised
00:07:33.08\00:07:37.19
The Lord is high above
00:07:42.32\00:07:46.90
All nations
00:07:46.93\00:07:50.57
His glory is above the heavens
00:07:50.63\00:07:57.27
And from the rising of the sun
00:07:57.31\00:08:02.61
Until its setting
00:08:02.64\00:08:07.45
The name of the Lord
00:08:07.48\00:08:10.75
Is to be praised
00:08:10.82\00:08:14.59
Oh, Lord
00:08:43.05\00:08:44.52
You're high
00:08:44.55\00:08:46.52
Of all nations
00:08:46.55\00:08:51.16
Your glory is above the heavens
00:08:51.19\00:08:57.67
And from the rising of the sun
00:08:57.70\00:09:03.57
Until its setting
00:09:03.64\00:09:07.74
The name of the Lord
00:09:07.78\00:09:11.18
Is to be praised
00:09:11.21\00:09:16.05
And since that glorious morning
00:09:16.08\00:09:20.12
When the stone was rolled away
00:09:20.19\00:09:26.06
Because You live We'll rise
00:09:26.09\00:09:29.33
To give our offering each day
00:09:29.36\00:09:35.47
From the rising of the sun
00:09:35.50\00:09:40.31
Until its setting
00:09:40.38\00:09:44.91
The name of the Lord
00:09:44.95\00:09:48.38
Is to be praised
00:09:48.42\00:09:52.75
From the rising of the sun
00:09:52.79\00:09:56.46
Until its setting
00:09:56.49\00:10:01.10
The name of the Lord
00:10:01.13\00:10:04.37
Is to be praised
00:10:04.40\00:10:09.07
The name of the Lord
00:10:09.10\00:10:13.11
Your name, oh, Lord
00:10:13.14\00:10:17.45
The name of the Lord
00:10:17.51\00:10:21.52
Is to be praised
00:10:21.55\00:10:27.52
Thank you so much,
Stephanie, for that song
00:10:43.54\00:10:45.41
"From the Rising of the Sun."
00:10:45.44\00:10:47.78
I'm glad that we
talked about it ahead of time
00:10:47.81\00:10:49.44
because now those
00:10:49.48\00:10:50.81
who heard the song can now know.
00:10:50.88\00:10:53.21
If it's morning where they are,
00:10:53.25\00:10:55.35
they can say today
00:10:55.38\00:10:56.72
"I want to live my life
for the glory of the Lord."
00:10:56.75\00:10:58.09
Yes.
00:10:58.12\00:10:59.45
But then I like what
you said a moment ago.
00:10:59.49\00:11:00.89
You said,
00:11:00.96\00:11:02.29
"It's not just what
happens while you're awake,
00:11:02.32\00:11:04.13
but if the Lord is in your mind,
00:11:04.16\00:11:05.76
you meditate on Him
not only during the day
00:11:05.79\00:11:07.60
but during the night."
00:11:07.60\00:11:08.93
Yes. Yes.
00:11:08.96\00:11:10.33
And how does that...
00:11:10.37\00:11:11.70
How does that
factor into your life?
00:11:11.73\00:11:13.07
Well, you know,
00:11:13.10\00:11:14.44
it's interesting
you asked that question
00:11:14.47\00:11:15.80
because the
thought of this memory
00:11:15.84\00:11:17.17
just popped into my mind.
00:11:17.21\00:11:18.77
I remember one day
00:11:18.81\00:11:20.18
I was in bed and it was morning.
00:11:20.24\00:11:23.41
I was...
00:11:23.45\00:11:24.78
I was sleeping but I mean,
00:11:24.81\00:11:27.62
I had enough
consciousness to realize
00:11:27.65\00:11:30.29
that I was
sleeping and I was in bed
00:11:30.35\00:11:32.69
and I actually was praying.
00:11:32.72\00:11:35.09
You know, I was actually
00:11:35.12\00:11:36.46
just pouring my heart out to God
00:11:36.49\00:11:37.99
about receiving the
baptism of the Holy Spirit
00:11:38.03\00:11:41.60
even as I was sleeping in bed.
00:11:41.63\00:11:43.30
It was just one of the most
beautiful spiritual experiences
00:11:43.33\00:11:47.90
I've ever had, was
praying in my sleep.
00:11:47.94\00:11:51.34
Wow. Praying in your sleep.
00:11:51.37\00:11:52.71
Yeah.
00:11:52.74\00:11:54.11
You know, that's a thought
that I have to let savor,
00:11:54.14\00:11:57.58
you know, let's just simmer
00:11:57.61\00:11:58.95
and get in there
because that's true.
00:11:58.98\00:12:00.42
The busyness of the day
00:12:00.45\00:12:01.78
often carries
us into our dreams.
00:12:01.82\00:12:03.25
Yes, it does.
00:12:03.28\00:12:04.62
And if you're thinking
about the Lord during the day,
00:12:04.65\00:12:06.42
it's not
difficult that His mind...
00:12:06.45\00:12:09.79
What's the text?
00:12:09.82\00:12:11.16
He will keep us
in perfect peace...
00:12:11.19\00:12:12.53
"Perfect peace, whose
mind is stayed on thee,
00:12:12.56\00:12:13.90
because he trusts in thee."
00:12:13.93\00:12:15.23
Yes.
00:12:15.26\00:12:16.63
So if our mind is stayed on Him,
00:12:16.67\00:12:18.00
that's during the day
and during the evening.
00:12:18.03\00:12:19.37
Yes. Yep, absolutely.
00:12:19.40\00:12:21.24
Also the gentleman
00:12:21.27\00:12:22.60
that played the
piano, Dann Thornton.
00:12:22.64\00:12:26.31
Tell us about Dann?
He is my stepfather.
00:12:26.34\00:12:29.01
We have a very
close relationship.
00:12:29.04\00:12:30.65
We have worked
together for almost 26 years.
00:12:30.71\00:12:34.08
I'm very blessed to
have him in my life.
00:12:34.12\00:12:36.85
And he has such a gift of music.
00:12:36.89\00:12:39.12
Oh, he does, he does.
00:12:39.15\00:12:41.16
God has given him
an incredible gift.
00:12:41.19\00:12:43.16
Whenever I hear
Dann at the piano,
00:12:43.19\00:12:45.09
I could say he's
not just playing a song,
00:12:45.13\00:12:46.90
he's communicating.
00:12:46.96\00:12:48.26
Oh, he is.
00:12:48.30\00:12:49.63
And that's the thing,
the two of us just click
00:12:49.66\00:12:52.47
when we're, when
we're performing together,
00:12:52.50\00:12:54.37
we really do.
00:12:54.40\00:12:55.90
And Dann and Caren
00:12:55.94\00:12:57.44
are part of your
ministry significantly.
00:12:57.47\00:12:58.87
Yeah, Caren is my
mother and we are very close
00:12:58.91\00:13:01.71
and the ministry
encompasses all of us equally.
00:13:01.74\00:13:04.88
It's a family, a family thing.
00:13:04.91\00:13:07.12
And how long have
you been in ministry?
00:13:07.15\00:13:08.62
Well, we started
fulltime in 2000.
00:13:08.65\00:13:11.99
We were traveling before that.
00:13:12.02\00:13:14.19
But it was in 2000
that we got a motorhome
00:13:14.26\00:13:17.53
and went on the road fulltime.
00:13:17.56\00:13:20.30
And that has been
a journey. It has.
00:13:20.33\00:13:22.93
But you've also not only
been in the United States,
00:13:22.96\00:13:25.00
you've been around the world?
00:13:25.03\00:13:26.37
Yeah, we have been
to the Philippines,
00:13:26.40\00:13:28.14
we have been to Mexico,
00:13:28.17\00:13:30.47
we have been to New
Finland and Nova Scotia, Canada,
00:13:30.51\00:13:34.91
for their camp meetings as well.
00:13:34.94\00:13:36.54
Okay.
00:13:36.58\00:13:37.91
And wherever you go I know
00:13:37.95\00:13:39.28
that the ministry
has been wonderful.
00:13:39.31\00:13:40.68
We had a chance
with Dann playing to do
00:13:40.72\00:13:42.52
that song
"Wonderful, Merciful Savior."
00:13:42.55\00:13:44.15
Oh, yes, yes. We did at ASI.
00:13:44.19\00:13:47.36
It was...
00:13:47.42\00:13:48.76
I loved it. It
was good memories.
00:13:48.79\00:13:50.93
And that was a recent ASI
00:13:50.96\00:13:52.29
but then we did it
a number of years ago.
00:13:52.33\00:13:53.86
Yeah, at 3ABN we
did record it, we did.
00:13:53.90\00:13:56.70
And that has been such
a blessing, people have...
00:13:56.73\00:13:58.53
As I have traveled,
00:13:58.57\00:13:59.90
which is kind
of a dream of ours.
00:14:00.04\00:14:01.37
We keep talking about
doing an album together.
00:14:01.40\00:14:02.74
Yes, we do, we do.
00:14:02.77\00:14:04.11
That's what we're praying
about as God will open the door
00:14:04.14\00:14:05.57
for that.
00:14:05.61\00:14:06.98
Ministry.
00:14:07.01\00:14:08.34
Talk about ministry for a moment
00:14:08.38\00:14:09.71
because when you
wake up in the morning,
00:14:09.74\00:14:11.18
I know that Dann and
Caren work diligently too,
00:14:11.21\00:14:13.92
because you have schedules
in different places you go
00:14:13.95\00:14:15.75
but just talk about ministry.
00:14:15.78\00:14:17.12
What is ministry?
00:14:17.19\00:14:18.52
Well, ministry to
me is just really...
00:14:18.55\00:14:23.73
Well, ministering to the needs
of others and the pain that,
00:14:23.76\00:14:27.60
that takes place in their lives.
00:14:27.66\00:14:29.86
And that is the reason
00:14:29.90\00:14:31.90
why I am thankful for my trials.
00:14:31.93\00:14:33.64
I read something to the affect,
00:14:33.70\00:14:35.90
something Ellen White said that.
00:14:35.94\00:14:37.47
I don't remember
exactly, I will paraphrase it.
00:14:37.51\00:14:40.84
"That God allows us
to go through trials
00:14:40.88\00:14:43.71
so that we can empathize
with the sufferings of others."
00:14:43.75\00:14:47.38
And for that reason specifically
00:14:47.42\00:14:49.42
I'm thankful for
what I've been through
00:14:49.45\00:14:51.55
because God can
use it in ministry,
00:14:51.59\00:14:54.96
not only through the
music but through the words
00:14:54.99\00:14:57.86
He gives me to say,
00:14:57.89\00:14:59.46
to minister to others
00:14:59.49\00:15:01.16
who need to be ministered to
00:15:01.20\00:15:03.57
through the
experiences He has given me.
00:15:03.60\00:15:06.74
And so that's a
day by day journey.
00:15:06.77\00:15:08.17
It is. It really is.
00:15:08.20\00:15:09.54
So you don't...
00:15:09.57\00:15:10.91
You may know where
your schedule is headed,
00:15:10.94\00:15:12.74
but you may not know
what's headed your way.
00:15:12.77\00:15:14.41
Exactly. Exactly.
00:15:14.44\00:15:16.24
And so I love that and this song
00:15:16.28\00:15:18.31
"Day by Day" in which,
with each passing moment.
00:15:18.35\00:15:20.62
It's a song
that's familiar to us,
00:15:20.65\00:15:21.98
but just tell us
why you chose this one?
00:15:22.02\00:15:23.89
Well, it really is my testimony
00:15:23.92\00:15:26.39
and I think it's
probably the testimony of,
00:15:26.42\00:15:28.69
the perhaps all of God's people
00:15:28.72\00:15:30.56
because our spiritual
journey is day by day.
00:15:30.63\00:15:35.06
Every moment of every
day as we die to self,
00:15:35.10\00:15:37.97
as God gives us endurance
00:15:38.00\00:15:41.47
to go through the
things that come into our lives
00:15:41.50\00:15:45.21
because God never
promises an easy smooth journey.
00:15:45.24\00:15:49.84
But He does promise strength
00:15:49.88\00:15:51.58
through that journey day by day.
00:15:51.61\00:15:53.92
May this song be
a blessing to you
00:15:53.98\00:15:55.32
"Day by day, and
with each passing moment."
00:15:55.35\00:15:58.79
Day by day
00:16:17.64\00:16:20.98
And with each passing moment
00:16:21.01\00:16:27.22
Strength I find to meet
00:16:27.25\00:16:31.89
My trials here
00:16:31.92\00:16:36.46
Trusting in my Father's
00:16:36.49\00:16:41.20
Wise bestowment
00:16:41.23\00:16:45.50
I've no cause for worry
00:16:45.53\00:16:49.67
Or for fear
00:16:49.70\00:16:54.14
He, whose heart is kind
00:16:54.18\00:16:58.15
Beyond all measure
00:16:58.18\00:17:02.32
Gives unto each day
00:17:02.35\00:17:05.99
What He deems best
00:17:06.02\00:17:10.86
Lovingly its part of pain
00:17:10.89\00:17:16.30
And pleasure
00:17:16.33\00:17:19.60
Mingling toil
00:17:19.63\00:17:22.64
With peace and rest
00:17:22.67\00:17:29.38
Every day the Lord Himself
00:17:29.41\00:17:34.85
Is near me
00:17:34.88\00:17:37.72
With a special mercy
00:17:37.75\00:17:41.49
For each hour
00:17:41.52\00:17:45.66
All my cares He fain would bear
00:17:45.69\00:17:50.53
And cheer me
00:17:50.57\00:17:53.64
He whose name is Counselor
00:17:53.70\00:17:58.51
And Power
00:17:58.54\00:18:01.98
The protection of His child
00:18:02.01\00:18:07.05
And treasure
00:18:07.08\00:18:09.92
Is a charge
00:18:09.95\00:18:12.12
That on Himself He laid
00:18:12.15\00:18:18.06
As your days
00:18:18.09\00:18:20.96
Your strength
shall be in measure
00:18:20.96\00:18:26.57
This the pledge to me
00:18:26.60\00:18:31.34
He made
00:18:31.37\00:18:35.24
Help me then
00:18:48.76\00:18:51.59
In every tribulation
00:18:51.63\00:18:56.46
So to trust Thy promises
00:18:56.50\00:19:00.77
O Lord
00:19:00.80\00:19:03.84
That I lose not faith's
00:19:03.87\00:19:07.21
Sweet consolation
00:19:07.24\00:19:11.08
Offered me within
00:19:11.11\00:19:14.52
Thy holy Word
00:19:14.55\00:19:18.35
Help me, Lord
00:19:18.39\00:19:20.99
When toil and trouble meeting
00:19:21.02\00:19:25.89
E'er to take
00:19:25.93\00:19:28.13
As from a father's hand
00:19:28.16\00:19:33.94
One by one, the days
00:19:33.97\00:19:38.61
the moments fleeting
00:19:38.64\00:19:43.45
Till I reach
00:19:43.48\00:19:47.32
The Promised Land
00:19:47.35\00:19:53.02
That's how we live
our lives day by day
00:20:01.16\00:20:03.67
and also moment by moment,
00:20:03.73\00:20:05.73
which makes the difference
as to where we are growing
00:20:05.77\00:20:08.14
and how we're
going for the Lord.
00:20:08.17\00:20:09.80
Thank you,
Stephanie, for that song.
00:20:09.84\00:20:11.21
You're very welcome. Thank you.
00:20:11.24\00:20:12.57
You know, I recognized the gift
00:20:12.61\00:20:14.64
that God has given
to you through music
00:20:14.68\00:20:16.31
and Dann, praise the Lord.
00:20:16.34\00:20:18.05
He is not an
overpowering musician
00:20:18.08\00:20:20.58
but one that
supports the message
00:20:20.62\00:20:22.15
that's been
communicated in the song.
00:20:22.18\00:20:23.59
Oh, yes, absolutely.
00:20:23.65\00:20:24.99
But you're not just...
00:20:25.02\00:20:26.35
You're not just a singer,
00:20:26.39\00:20:27.72
you're not just
a minister of music
00:20:27.76\00:20:29.09
but you have a message and today
00:20:29.12\00:20:30.46
you're gonna talk about
a very important message
00:20:30.49\00:20:32.03
in light of the last days.
00:20:32.06\00:20:34.23
Yes. Talk about that?
00:20:34.30\00:20:35.60
Well, it started
when our pastor asked me
00:20:35.63\00:20:39.97
to present a program relating
00:20:40.00\00:20:44.47
to 1844.
00:20:44.51\00:20:47.11
And so I started studying
in the Great Controversy
00:20:47.14\00:20:51.05
and the word of God.
00:20:51.08\00:20:52.58
And around the same
time we were on concert tour
00:20:52.61\00:20:55.42
and we had the
privilege of visiting
00:20:55.45\00:20:57.69
the William Miller farm.
00:20:57.72\00:20:59.05
Okay.
00:20:59.09\00:21:00.49
And, so, God just really led me
00:21:00.56\00:21:04.53
in my study
causing me to connect
00:21:04.56\00:21:07.73
the dots in my mind
00:21:07.76\00:21:09.06
that I had not connected before.
00:21:09.10\00:21:10.87
And what I find
striking is how history
00:21:10.93\00:21:16.14
has repeated itself
from the beginning of time.
00:21:16.17\00:21:19.01
As Solomon said,
00:21:19.04\00:21:20.38
"There is nothing
new under the sun."
00:21:20.44\00:21:22.31
And if it's happened before,
it's going to happen again.
00:21:22.34\00:21:25.95
And if you go all the
way back to the Old Testament
00:21:25.98\00:21:31.02
and the Israelites
coming into the Land of Canaan,
00:21:31.05\00:21:35.29
they aligned with
themselves with other nations,
00:21:35.32\00:21:38.69
they conformed to the practices
of those other nations.
00:21:38.73\00:21:42.66
And as a result,
00:21:42.70\00:21:44.03
they started
living the same lifestyle.
00:21:44.10\00:21:46.67
They were worshiping idols.
00:21:46.70\00:21:48.50
And the end result of this,
00:21:48.54\00:21:50.34
is that they
persecuted the prophets
00:21:50.37\00:21:54.04
who came to stand up
for truth and reprove sin.
00:21:54.11\00:21:57.71
You fast forward
to the New Testament.
00:21:57.75\00:22:00.52
And once again you
have an Israelite people
00:22:00.55\00:22:03.69
who are very worldly minded,
00:22:03.72\00:22:05.22
their focus is on
national greatness,
00:22:05.25\00:22:07.56
they want to be at the top,
00:22:07.59\00:22:09.69
which is a very
worldly way of thinking.
00:22:09.72\00:22:12.36
And as a result
00:22:12.39\00:22:13.73
of this worldly way of thinking,
00:22:13.80\00:22:15.96
when Jesus came to
present the perfect gospel
00:22:16.00\00:22:20.00
which includes not
only reproving of sin
00:22:20.04\00:22:23.20
but victory over sin,
00:22:23.24\00:22:24.57
the hope of the victory over sin
00:22:24.61\00:22:26.24
that He provides us,
00:22:26.27\00:22:27.78
the hope of being set
free from the sins and pain
00:22:27.81\00:22:32.35
that enslave us.
00:22:32.38\00:22:33.88
And then when the disciples
00:22:33.92\00:22:35.25
came preaching the same message,
00:22:35.28\00:22:36.65
the worldly mindedness
among the Jewish people led
00:22:36.69\00:22:41.06
to them persecuting,
Jesus and His apostles.
00:22:41.09\00:22:44.43
Fast forward to the years
leading up to the Dark Ages
00:22:44.46\00:22:49.03
and this process began
00:22:49.06\00:22:51.10
when the church began to confirm
00:22:51.13\00:22:54.00
to the practices of the world
00:22:54.07\00:22:57.44
as a means of
bringing in the heathen.
00:22:57.47\00:22:59.94
And as worldliness took over,
00:23:00.08\00:23:02.14
it ultimately
led to the Dark Ages
00:23:02.18\00:23:04.71
and the
persecution of God's people.
00:23:04.75\00:23:08.62
And then you fast forward
to the years leading to 1844.
00:23:08.65\00:23:13.56
And once again you have
the United States filled
00:23:13.59\00:23:17.36
with very
worldly minded churches.
00:23:17.43\00:23:20.23
So when William
Miller and his associates
00:23:20.30\00:23:22.46
began preaching
the message of 1844,
00:23:22.50\00:23:26.07
they were
persecuted to the point
00:23:26.10\00:23:27.97
where incredibly
they were not even allowed
00:23:28.00\00:23:31.64
to speak of the Second Coming
in church social gatherings.
00:23:31.67\00:23:36.44
I mean we're talking about
Christian churches refusing
00:23:36.48\00:23:39.88
to permit their people
00:23:39.91\00:23:41.42
from speaking of
Christ Second Coming.
00:23:41.45\00:23:45.79
Of anyone who should
have been the most joyous,
00:23:45.82\00:23:47.86
it should have
been those people.
00:23:47.89\00:23:49.99
And what that tells me is,
00:23:50.03\00:23:52.19
what happened in
all of those experiences
00:23:52.23\00:23:54.66
as the end time approaches
is going to happen again.
00:23:54.73\00:23:58.97
And if we do not lay
all worldly interests aside,
00:23:59.00\00:24:03.91
if we do not
disconnect ourselves
00:24:03.94\00:24:07.18
from the worldly things
that separate us from God,
00:24:07.21\00:24:11.68
we will be on the side of those
who persecute God's people.
00:24:11.71\00:24:17.39
There are only two options.
00:24:17.42\00:24:18.85
We will either be
working with God's people
00:24:18.89\00:24:21.32
or against God's people.
00:24:21.36\00:24:23.76
So you have this system today
that is called "Christianity"
00:24:23.83\00:24:27.66
but it's really a
system that's fallen.
00:24:27.73\00:24:29.53
Yes. Yes.
00:24:29.56\00:24:30.93
And Revelation talks about
that as the fall of Babylon.
00:24:30.97\00:24:32.60
Absolutely.
00:24:32.63\00:24:34.10
And that's what God
really brought home to me too
00:24:34.14\00:24:38.04
was the three angels' messages.
00:24:38.07\00:24:40.94
Because the
first angel's message,
00:24:40.98\00:24:43.11
Ellen White says in
the Great Controversy
00:24:43.14\00:24:46.45
that this message was designed
00:24:46.48\00:24:49.18
to call God's
people to disconnect
00:24:49.22\00:24:53.72
from the
corruption of the world.
00:24:53.76\00:24:56.42
And you see this when it says,
00:24:56.46\00:24:59.86
"Fear God and give glory to Him,
00:24:59.89\00:25:01.90
for the hour of His judgment
has come and worship Him."
00:25:01.93\00:25:06.67
Worship Him means to
put Him first in our lives,
00:25:06.74\00:25:11.97
above anything else.
00:25:12.01\00:25:14.48
And in order for
us to worship Him,
00:25:14.51\00:25:17.15
to put Him first,
00:25:17.18\00:25:18.61
worldly interest
must be laid aside.
00:25:18.65\00:25:21.45
And if we are not abiding
00:25:21.48\00:25:24.29
by the message
of the first angel,
00:25:24.32\00:25:26.76
there is no way
00:25:26.79\00:25:28.12
we are going to
be able to transition
00:25:28.16\00:25:30.03
to the second message,
00:25:30.06\00:25:31.56
which proclaims
that Babylon has fallen.
00:25:31.59\00:25:35.43
The reason I say this is
00:25:35.46\00:25:36.83
because if we have
not separated ourselves
00:25:36.87\00:25:39.80
from the practices of the world,
00:25:39.83\00:25:42.30
we are not going to be
able to spiritually distinguish
00:25:42.34\00:25:46.78
between what comes from
Babylon and what does not.
00:25:46.84\00:25:50.91
That's a very
good point you made.
00:25:50.95\00:25:52.71
So today what we're seeing
00:25:52.75\00:25:54.28
then is a merging
of worldly principles
00:25:54.32\00:25:56.95
and practices that
are affecting the church?
00:25:56.99\00:25:59.12
And it leads to
spiritual deception
00:25:59.15\00:26:01.09
and the ultimate
persecution of God's people.
00:26:01.12\00:26:03.59
Wow.
00:26:03.66\00:26:04.99
And then we come to
the third angel's message
00:26:05.03\00:26:06.86
that warns us about
the mark of the beast.
00:26:06.93\00:26:09.26
So you noticed a
progression here.
00:26:09.30\00:26:11.13
If we do not heed
00:26:11.17\00:26:13.03
the instructions in
the first message...
00:26:13.07\00:26:15.80
We will not be able
to comprehend the second,
00:26:15.84\00:26:18.64
which will lead us to worshiping
00:26:18.67\00:26:21.31
the beast as
expressed in the third.
00:26:21.34\00:26:25.21
And, you know, when people talk
about the mark of the beast,
00:26:25.25\00:26:28.75
Babylon has fallen, has fallen.
00:26:28.78\00:26:30.19
I heard one of our very
famous speakers Kenneth Cox.
00:26:30.22\00:26:34.46
Yes. Pastor
Kenneth Cox said this.
00:26:34.49\00:26:36.09
He says,
00:26:36.12\00:26:37.46
"The reason why it's
Babylon has fallen, has fallen."
00:26:37.53\00:26:40.10
Very amazing concept.
He said, first it's fallen.
00:26:40.13\00:26:42.60
It's already
fallen in the eyes of God.
00:26:42.63\00:26:44.83
But soon it will be
fallen in the eyes of men.
00:26:44.87\00:26:47.44
Yes. Fallen, fallen.
00:26:47.50\00:26:48.84
And so much today
is termed worship,
00:26:48.87\00:26:51.07
but in fact God
is not a part of it.
00:26:51.11\00:26:53.27
Yeah. You know.
00:26:53.34\00:26:54.68
So you have this
message of the...
00:26:54.71\00:26:56.71
When you don't worship God,
00:26:56.75\00:26:58.08
then you
eventually end up worshiping
00:26:58.11\00:26:59.71
the beast in his image.
00:26:59.75\00:27:01.15
Yeah. There are
only two options.
00:27:01.18\00:27:02.52
There's no middle ground.
00:27:02.55\00:27:03.92
And now people think
of the mark of the beast
00:27:03.95\00:27:05.62
as a horrible message,
00:27:05.65\00:27:06.99
but tell me why it's
part of God's glorious love?
00:27:07.02\00:27:09.32
Oh, it is.
00:27:09.36\00:27:10.86
Ellen White says that
the third angel's message
00:27:10.89\00:27:14.30
is "Righteousness
by Faith in Verity."
00:27:14.36\00:27:18.17
And God brought me to
this realization as well.
00:27:18.20\00:27:21.24
If you look in the
third angel's message
00:27:21.27\00:27:23.71
and God talks about
the mark of the beast
00:27:23.74\00:27:26.81
and the people who
receive his mark have,
00:27:26.88\00:27:29.68
you know, the mark on their hand
00:27:29.71\00:27:31.21
and on their forehead.
00:27:31.25\00:27:32.75
But then you contrast
this with Isaiah 41:10.
00:27:32.78\00:27:36.08
And God says,
00:27:36.12\00:27:37.49
"Fear not, for I am
with you, Be not dismayed,
00:27:37.52\00:27:40.69
for I am your God.
00:27:40.76\00:27:42.19
I will strengthen
you, Yes, I will help you,
00:27:42.22\00:27:45.43
Yes, I will uphold you
with My righteous right hand."
00:27:45.46\00:27:49.63
The word "my" is so crucial here
00:27:49.66\00:27:52.87
because God holds up His
people with His righteousness.
00:27:52.90\00:27:57.61
The people who
received the mark of the beast
00:27:57.64\00:27:59.64
have it on their hands.
00:27:59.67\00:28:02.08
So we have a contrast
between righteousness by faith,
00:28:02.11\00:28:07.95
receiving
forgiveness and sanctification
00:28:07.98\00:28:10.75
through the
righteousness of Christ versus
00:28:10.82\00:28:14.09
righteousness by works.
00:28:14.12\00:28:17.46
So those who receive the mark
00:28:17.49\00:28:19.86
of the beast are
embracing a system
00:28:19.89\00:28:22.53
that teaches
righteousness by works.
00:28:22.56\00:28:24.90
Wow.
00:28:24.93\00:28:26.27
So you see...
00:28:26.30\00:28:28.27
You know, you see the hope
00:28:28.30\00:28:30.51
that we can find in
the three angels' messages
00:28:30.54\00:28:34.68
and the same is true
with 1844 when God began
00:28:34.71\00:28:38.65
the process of the
cleansing of the sanctuary.
00:28:38.68\00:28:41.98
The only way our
sins can be cleansed
00:28:42.02\00:28:44.29
from the sanctuary,
00:28:44.32\00:28:45.72
is if they are
cleansed from our hearts.
00:28:45.75\00:28:48.09
And that can only take place
00:28:48.12\00:28:50.86
through receiving the
mind of Christ into our lives,
00:28:50.93\00:28:54.73
through the
baptism of the Holy Spirit.
00:28:54.73\00:28:57.67
And we can through God's
power gain victory over sin
00:28:57.70\00:29:01.20
and that is the message of hope
00:29:01.24\00:29:04.47
that the world is dying to hear.
00:29:04.51\00:29:07.64
They don't want to be enslaved.
00:29:07.68\00:29:09.84
People who are on drugs
don't want to be on drugs.
00:29:09.88\00:29:12.95
They want to hear that
through the power of God
00:29:12.98\00:29:15.58
they can gain victory.
00:29:15.62\00:29:17.32
And that is why the
three angels' messages
00:29:17.35\00:29:20.69
and the message
of God's judgment
00:29:20.72\00:29:22.29
is full of hope.
00:29:22.32\00:29:23.66
Wow.
00:29:23.69\00:29:25.03
You know, Stephanie,
00:29:25.06\00:29:26.39
you're not just a
singer and a teacher,
00:29:26.43\00:29:28.60
but we have to have
you come and do a sermon
00:29:28.63\00:29:30.77
because that is deep,
00:29:30.80\00:29:32.13
that's the part
that I had never heard
00:29:32.17\00:29:34.07
the comparison maybe
for my righteous right arm.
00:29:34.14\00:29:38.31
Yes. Compared to their hand.
00:29:38.34\00:29:40.78
It's on, God is
holding us by His hand.
00:29:40.81\00:29:43.48
But those who worship
the beast in his image
00:29:43.55\00:29:45.35
receive a mark on their
hand, God's hand is not in it.
00:29:45.38\00:29:49.25
And if you want
to even extend that,
00:29:49.28\00:29:51.62
when God talks
about His people binding,
00:29:51.65\00:29:54.69
you know, His
laws on their hands.
00:29:54.72\00:29:57.33
What that means is that
they are living out God's law
00:29:57.36\00:30:00.90
through their actions.
00:30:00.93\00:30:02.33
And how does this take place?
00:30:02.36\00:30:04.07
By being held up by
God's righteous right hand,
00:30:04.13\00:30:07.67
by receiving the
righteousness of Christ
00:30:07.70\00:30:10.87
that imparts forgiveness
for sin and victory over sin.
00:30:10.91\00:30:15.68
Which in fact
summarizes God's glorious love.
00:30:15.71\00:30:17.95
Oh, it does.
The complete gospel.
00:30:17.98\00:30:19.31
Wow.
00:30:19.35\00:30:20.68
I want you to sit back
and listen as Stephanie
00:30:20.72\00:30:22.22
has laid the foundation
beautifully for the first,
00:30:22.25\00:30:26.19
second and third angel's message
00:30:26.22\00:30:28.29
being a reflection
of God's glorious love.
00:30:28.32\00:30:32.03
In my darkness
00:30:51.05\00:30:54.48
Jesus found me
00:30:54.52\00:30:59.42
Touched my eyes
00:30:59.45\00:31:02.66
And made me see
00:31:02.69\00:31:08.16
Broke sin's chains
00:31:08.20\00:31:11.27
That long had bound me
00:31:11.30\00:31:16.37
Gave me life
00:31:16.40\00:31:19.64
And liberty
00:31:19.67\00:31:25.08
Oh, glorious love of Christ
00:31:25.11\00:31:28.45
My Lord divine
00:31:28.48\00:31:32.92
Who gave Himself to save
00:31:32.95\00:31:36.19
A soul like mine
00:31:36.22\00:31:40.66
Through all my days
00:31:40.70\00:31:43.00
And then in heaven above
00:31:43.03\00:31:49.00
My song will silence never
00:31:49.04\00:31:53.44
I'll worship Him forever
00:31:53.51\00:31:57.81
And praise Him
00:31:57.85\00:31:59.58
For His glorious love
00:31:59.61\00:32:05.79
Oh
00:32:10.93\00:32:12.56
Amazing truth to ponder
00:32:12.59\00:32:18.70
He whom
00:32:18.73\00:32:20.80
Angel hosts attend
00:32:20.84\00:32:27.14
Lord of Heaven, God's Son
00:32:27.18\00:32:31.15
What wonder
00:32:31.18\00:32:34.48
He became
00:32:34.52\00:32:37.59
The sinner's friend
00:32:37.62\00:32:42.79
Oh, glorious love of Christ
00:32:42.82\00:32:45.83
My Lord divine
00:32:45.86\00:32:49.90
Who gave Himself to save
00:32:49.93\00:32:53.00
A soul like mine
00:32:53.03\00:32:57.44
Through all my days
00:32:57.47\00:32:59.47
And then in heaven above
00:32:59.51\00:33:05.38
My song will silence never
00:33:05.41\00:33:09.58
I'll worship Him forever
00:33:09.62\00:33:13.89
And praise Him
00:33:13.96\00:33:15.62
For His glorious
00:33:15.66\00:33:18.69
Love
00:33:18.73\00:33:23.23
And praise Him
00:33:23.26\00:33:25.33
For His glorious
00:33:25.37\00:33:29.04
Love
00:33:29.07\00:33:33.58
When you think about
the three angels' messages,
00:33:42.12\00:33:44.15
those of you who
just heard the song,
00:33:44.19\00:33:45.72
what a beautiful song
and thank you, Stephanie,
00:33:45.75\00:33:47.42
for communicating
that message so clearly.
00:33:47.46\00:33:50.59
Praise God.
00:33:50.63\00:33:51.96
And not just a message in song,
00:33:51.99\00:33:53.33
but the
foundation that was laid.
00:33:53.36\00:33:54.96
Because when people
think about the first,
00:33:55.00\00:33:56.70
second and third
angel's messages,
00:33:56.73\00:33:59.40
they don't often think about it,
00:33:59.43\00:34:00.94
the worship of the
beast, the fall of Babylon,
00:34:00.97\00:34:03.14
they don't think
about it as God's love.
00:34:03.17\00:34:04.54
Yeah.
00:34:04.57\00:34:05.91
Why should we think
about it as God's love?
00:34:05.94\00:34:07.74
Well, it is all
about God's mercy
00:34:07.78\00:34:10.05
because that is what
the judgment is all about.
00:34:10.08\00:34:14.85
It is about Jesus
interceding for His people.
00:34:14.88\00:34:20.36
And, you know, if we are
00:34:20.39\00:34:22.89
through God's
power abiding in Him,
00:34:22.92\00:34:28.83
then we do not need
to fear the judgment,
00:34:28.86\00:34:31.00
we can have boldness
in the Day of Judgment
00:34:31.03\00:34:33.70
because our defensive attorney
Jesus Christ is also our judge.
00:34:33.74\00:34:40.54
And our judge
00:34:40.58\00:34:41.94
has already served our sentence.
00:34:41.98\00:34:44.85
So if we heed those
three angels' messages,
00:34:44.88\00:34:48.35
we have no fear of the judgment.
00:34:48.38\00:34:50.99
The judgment portrays
the gospel so beautifully
00:34:51.02\00:34:55.06
because God's people,
00:34:55.09\00:34:58.86
they obey
because they are saved,
00:34:58.89\00:35:01.66
not in order to be saved.
00:35:01.70\00:35:03.77
And so those who
do not accept Christ
00:35:03.80\00:35:06.94
will be held accountable
for their sins in the judgment
00:35:06.97\00:35:11.94
not because their bad deeds
outweighed their good deeds,
00:35:11.97\00:35:16.21
but because their lives show
00:35:16.24\00:35:18.98
that they have
not been transformed
00:35:19.01\00:35:21.18
by God's grace,
00:35:21.22\00:35:22.55
that they have not
accepted God's grace.
00:35:22.58\00:35:25.25
For as Paul says,
00:35:25.29\00:35:26.96
"Sin shall not
have dominion over you,
00:35:26.99\00:35:29.09
for you are not under
law, but under grace."
00:35:29.12\00:35:32.46
Obedience to God's commandments
through His power reveals
00:35:32.49\00:35:37.13
that we are under grace.
00:35:37.17\00:35:38.50
Wow.
00:35:38.53\00:35:39.87
And so when we
are under grace...
00:35:39.90\00:35:41.30
I want to
reiterate what you just said.
00:35:41.34\00:35:43.47
We won't... We're don't...
00:35:43.51\00:35:44.84
We're not rejected
because our bad deeds outweigh
00:35:44.87\00:35:47.04
our good deeds,
00:35:47.08\00:35:48.41
but we have not
accepted God's grace.
00:35:48.44\00:35:50.51
And I want to emphasize
that repentance, confession,
00:35:50.55\00:35:56.15
excuse me, repentance,
confession, conviction of sin,
00:35:56.18\00:36:00.59
faith, obedience, surrender,
00:36:00.62\00:36:03.39
all of those things are gifts
00:36:03.46\00:36:06.06
from God imparted to
us by the Holy Spirit.
00:36:06.09\00:36:09.50
We cannot do it
in our own strength,
00:36:09.53\00:36:12.03
but through God's power we can.
00:36:12.07\00:36:14.90
So then that leads to
God calling His people,
00:36:14.94\00:36:16.94
talk about that?
00:36:17.01\00:36:18.34
It does.
00:36:18.37\00:36:20.01
I was reading in Habakkuk 2:1-4.
00:36:20.08\00:36:25.48
And the first verse says,
00:36:25.51\00:36:27.95
"I will stand upon my watch,
I will set me upon the tower,
00:36:27.98\00:36:32.42
I will wait to see what
the Lord will say unto me
00:36:32.45\00:36:35.72
that I may know
what to answer Him
00:36:35.76\00:36:37.96
when I am reproved."
00:36:37.99\00:36:40.00
When I read that verse,
00:36:40.03\00:36:41.80
you know, and I
want to quickly say here.
00:36:41.83\00:36:43.43
When you study the
Bible, the more you study it
00:36:43.47\00:36:46.50
and have that
foundation in your mind.
00:36:46.53\00:36:48.84
When you read a verse
00:36:48.87\00:36:50.37
and God wants to
expound upon that verse,
00:36:50.41\00:36:53.34
He will place
another verse you have read
00:36:53.38\00:36:56.08
into your mind to
help you understand.
00:36:56.11\00:36:58.75
So when I read that
verse in Habakkuk about God's,
00:36:58.78\00:37:02.35
about Habakkuk
setting himself up,
00:37:02.38\00:37:04.85
you know,
standing upon his watch.
00:37:04.89\00:37:07.29
God placed in my mind
the verse from Ezekiel,
00:37:07.32\00:37:10.26
in which God says to Ezekiel,
00:37:10.29\00:37:12.69
"Son of man I have
made you a watchman."
00:37:12.73\00:37:17.10
Now, so in other words,
00:37:17.17\00:37:19.40
in order for
Habakkuk to hear the message
00:37:19.43\00:37:23.10
that God was
waiting to give him,
00:37:23.14\00:37:25.57
he first had to choose
to stand upon his watch.
00:37:25.61\00:37:29.91
He had to choose
to be the watchman.
00:37:29.94\00:37:33.21
We can pray and plead
with God for the Holy Spirit,
00:37:33.25\00:37:37.29
but if we are not
willing to be the watchman,
00:37:37.32\00:37:39.62
if we are not willing
to give whatever message
00:37:39.65\00:37:43.53
God wants us to give
regardless of the consequences.
00:37:43.56\00:37:47.40
If we are not willing to present
00:37:47.50\00:37:49.70
the complete truth of
the three angels' messages,
00:37:49.73\00:37:54.50
we will not receive
00:37:54.54\00:37:57.07
the answer of
receiving the Holy Spirit
00:37:57.11\00:37:59.31
if we are not
willing to be that watchman.
00:37:59.34\00:38:01.64
And that is where that song,
that, that Psalm 1 comes in
00:38:01.68\00:38:05.21
because it talks
about where you stand.
00:38:05.25\00:38:07.25
Yes.
00:38:07.28\00:38:08.62
It's about...
00:38:08.65\00:38:09.98
As we talked about earlier,
00:38:10.02\00:38:11.49
meditating upon God's law
day and night through His power,
00:38:11.52\00:38:15.82
keeping His
commandments and being ready
00:38:15.86\00:38:18.36
through the power
00:38:18.39\00:38:19.73
of the Holy Spirit for
the end time when it comes.
00:38:19.76\00:38:22.33
Wow.
00:38:22.36\00:38:23.70
This song Psalm 1 is a song
that takes us to the question
00:38:23.77\00:38:26.94
"Where will you stand?"
00:38:26.97\00:38:28.60
And it shows the contrast
between the faith and the trust
00:38:28.64\00:38:31.54
that the godly have
and the faith and trust
00:38:31.57\00:38:34.28
that the ungodly
will not possess.
00:38:34.31\00:38:36.18
Yes. Sit back and
be ministered too.
00:38:36.21\00:38:38.58
How blessed,
how happy is the man
00:38:56.03\00:39:00.57
Who will not walk in the way
00:39:00.60\00:39:05.44
Of the ungodly
00:39:05.47\00:39:08.38
How blessed how happy is the man
00:39:08.41\00:39:12.71
Who will not stand
00:39:12.75\00:39:16.52
In the path of the sinful
00:39:16.55\00:39:20.39
How blessed how happy is the man
00:39:20.42\00:39:24.53
Who will not sit
00:39:24.56\00:39:28.20
In the seat of the scornful
00:39:28.23\00:39:32.93
And it's not hard to understand
00:39:32.97\00:39:38.94
Why God would bless that man
00:39:38.97\00:39:44.51
He delights in
the law of the Lord
00:39:44.55\00:39:50.79
He delights in the
law of the Lord Night
00:39:50.82\00:39:56.73
and day, day and night
00:39:56.76\00:40:01.10
He meditates on all that's right
00:40:01.13\00:40:07.87
And He desires nothing more
00:40:07.90\00:40:14.08
His delight is in the law
00:40:14.14\00:40:17.61
Of the Lord
00:40:17.65\00:40:20.88
How blessed, how
happy are the ones
00:40:30.29\00:40:34.56
Who have their hope
00:40:34.56\00:40:38.13
In a living Redeemer
00:40:38.17\00:40:42.17
How blessed how
happy are the ones
00:40:42.20\00:40:46.31
Who will one day
00:40:46.34\00:40:49.61
See the face of their Savior
00:40:49.64\00:40:53.48
But how
distressed shall be the ones
00:40:53.55\00:40:57.79
Who turn away
00:40:57.82\00:41:01.49
From the love of the Father
00:41:01.52\00:41:06.29
Unless they come to understand
00:41:06.33\00:41:13.00
God's kingdom is at hand
00:41:13.03\00:41:19.97
And they delight
00:41:20.04\00:41:23.81
In the law of the Lord
00:41:23.85\00:41:26.72
They delight in the law
00:41:26.78\00:41:30.49
Of the Lord Night
and day, day and night
00:41:30.55\00:41:36.69
They meditate
on all that's right
00:41:36.73\00:41:43.43
And they desire nothing more
00:41:43.50\00:41:49.64
Their delight is
in the law of the Lord
00:41:49.67\00:41:55.61
Oh, to be like a tree
by the rivers of water
00:41:55.64\00:42:02.02
Bearing its fruit in season
00:42:02.05\00:42:06.25
Should my leaf never wither
00:42:06.29\00:42:09.16
Should I flourish and prosper
00:42:09.19\00:42:12.39
There's a reason
00:42:12.43\00:42:17.87
I delight in the law of the Lord
00:42:17.90\00:42:23.67
I delight in the law of the Lord
00:42:23.71\00:42:28.84
Night and day, day and night
00:42:28.88\00:42:33.88
I meditate on all that's right
00:42:33.92\00:42:40.86
And I desire nothing more
00:42:40.92\00:42:47.13
My delight is in the law
00:42:47.20\00:42:50.70
Oh, our delight is in Your Law
00:42:50.73\00:42:57.24
We delight in
the law of the Lord
00:42:57.27\00:43:03.11
We delight in
the law of the Lord
00:43:03.14\00:43:08.25
Night and day, day and night
00:43:08.28\00:43:13.12
We meditate on all that's right
00:43:13.15\00:43:19.66
And we desire nothing more
00:43:19.69\00:43:25.83
Our delight is in
the law of the Lord
00:43:25.87\00:43:32.64
And we desire
00:43:32.67\00:43:36.14
Nothing more
00:43:36.18\00:43:40.58
Our delight is in the law
00:43:40.62\00:43:45.79
Of the Lord
00:43:45.82\00:43:52.39
Now you might be
asking the question
00:44:03.41\00:44:05.37
that's going through our mind,
how could we get these songs?
00:44:05.41\00:44:07.81
And, Stephanie, tell us
00:44:07.84\00:44:09.18
how we can get
some of these songs.
00:44:09.21\00:44:10.55
Now, you haven't
recorded these yet?
00:44:10.58\00:44:11.91
Not yet.
00:44:11.95\00:44:13.62
And we are still...
00:44:13.65\00:44:15.72
We want to get our music up
00:44:15.75\00:44:17.39
through iTunes,
Amazon, etcetera.
00:44:17.42\00:44:20.36
It has not taken place
yet, but that is the plan.
00:44:20.39\00:44:22.99
Okay.
00:44:23.02\00:44:24.36
But for anyone
who has any questions
00:44:24.39\00:44:25.96
about music or anything else.
00:44:25.99\00:44:28.16
If they want to get in
touch with me for any reason,
00:44:28.20\00:44:31.03
they can find me on
Facebook as Stephanie Dawn
00:44:31.07\00:44:33.80
or they can find
our Facebook page,
00:44:33.84\00:44:36.67
Dawn of Hope Ministry.
00:44:36.71\00:44:39.17
And also DawnOfHopeMinistry.com
00:44:39.21\00:44:42.41
is an existing
website that talks about
00:44:42.44\00:44:44.85
the ministry of
Stephanie and Dann Thornton
00:44:44.88\00:44:50.15
and some of the needs.
00:44:50.19\00:44:51.52
And we're gonna
talk about those needs
00:44:51.55\00:44:52.89
because you are
fulltime on the road.
00:44:52.92\00:44:54.86
We are. We are. And
what does that mean?
00:44:54.89\00:44:57.29
It means that most
of the time our home
00:44:57.33\00:44:59.56
is on the road.
00:44:59.59\00:45:01.80
In other words,
wherever you pull up?
00:45:01.83\00:45:03.16
Exactly. That's home.
00:45:03.20\00:45:04.53
As I was telling Pastor John.
00:45:04.57\00:45:06.20
We feel like Abraham sometimes.
When God says go, you go.
00:45:10.21\00:45:13.68
And sometimes He takes
us on a surprising turn
00:45:13.71\00:45:16.61
at the last minute.
00:45:16.64\00:45:17.98
That's not a surprise to God
but it can be a surprise to us.
00:45:18.01\00:45:21.58
You never know
where He's going to lead,
00:45:21.62\00:45:23.82
but we have seen His
providence leading us repeatedly
00:45:23.89\00:45:28.79
even when we were unsure
00:45:28.82\00:45:31.16
of what was
going to happen next.
00:45:31.19\00:45:33.80
He always provided
00:45:33.83\00:45:35.13
and we always
discovered a purpose
00:45:35.16\00:45:36.93
and the way His hand has led us.
00:45:36.97\00:45:39.67
And which takes me
to a particular need
00:45:39.70\00:45:41.54
that you both have
00:45:41.57\00:45:42.90
or that when you
and Dann and Caren
00:45:42.94\00:45:45.27
are on the road,
whatever you're driving
00:45:45.31\00:45:47.44
in is really home
until you pull up.
00:45:47.48\00:45:49.08
Like to see
00:45:49.11\00:45:50.45
your address changes day by day.
00:45:50.51\00:45:51.85
Yes.
00:45:51.88\00:45:53.21
But this great
need that you have
00:45:53.25\00:45:54.58
and because home
for us is, we pull...
00:45:54.62\00:45:57.35
We come home and we're home,
00:45:57.39\00:45:58.72
but wherever
you pull up is home.
00:45:58.75\00:46:00.59
And there's a great
need for a motorhome.
00:46:00.62\00:46:04.26
Let's talk about that? Yes.
00:46:04.29\00:46:06.23
We have used
motorhomes in the past
00:46:06.26\00:46:08.20
but we have done so
much traveling that it just,
00:46:08.23\00:46:11.80
it just wears them out.
00:46:11.83\00:46:14.17
And what we are
really in need of,
00:46:14.24\00:46:16.57
desperately in need of
is, is a diesel motorhome,
00:46:16.60\00:46:19.61
which is a lot more
durable than a gas one.
00:46:19.64\00:46:23.28
We've had gas ones in the past
but we really prefer a diesel
00:46:23.35\00:46:27.32
because it's so much
easier to be in a motorhome
00:46:27.35\00:46:31.69
where you can
cook your own food,
00:46:31.72\00:46:33.36
where you are not
forced to either rely
00:46:33.39\00:46:36.16
on a hotel or someone's home,
00:46:36.19\00:46:39.89
where you have a lot
more space when you travel.
00:46:39.93\00:46:43.03
It just provides for
a lot more flexibility.
00:46:43.06\00:46:46.37
When your home is on the road,
00:46:46.40\00:46:48.04
we need to actually
have a home on the road.
00:46:48.07\00:46:52.07
So, yes, a diesel motorhome
00:46:52.11\00:46:54.88
is truly our
greatest ministry need.
00:46:54.91\00:46:58.15
You know, what I like about that
00:46:58.18\00:46:59.51
and the Lord says, make your...
00:46:59.55\00:47:01.02
"Let your needs be made known.
00:47:01.05\00:47:03.22
Let your
requests be made known."
00:47:03.25\00:47:05.15
And I think that as we,
00:47:05.19\00:47:06.52
as you're watching or
listening to the program,
00:47:06.55\00:47:07.92
you may be in your car driving
00:47:07.96\00:47:09.29
or you may be at
home or wherever,
00:47:09.32\00:47:10.96
sitting in front
of a television set
00:47:10.99\00:47:12.33
or on your 3ABN app,
00:47:12.36\00:47:14.20
which is something that
is a possibility nowadays.
00:47:14.23\00:47:16.97
But this is something
I'd like to make an appeal
00:47:17.00\00:47:18.60
because I know
that Dawn, and Dann,
00:47:18.63\00:47:20.74
and Caren are
involved in fulltime ministry,
00:47:20.77\00:47:23.51
now going fulltime
for almost 20 years.
00:47:23.54\00:47:25.44
Yes. Yes.
00:47:25.47\00:47:26.81
And when you think about
going from place to place,
00:47:26.88\00:47:29.11
the expense of hotels and...
00:47:29.14\00:47:32.21
But if they had a motorhome,
a diesel one preferably.
00:47:32.25\00:47:35.15
There's somebody watching
the program that might say,
00:47:35.18\00:47:37.65
"That's not a big issue,
00:47:37.69\00:47:39.02
that's not a
challenge when it comes to God."
00:47:39.05\00:47:40.46
You know, Stephanie,
00:47:40.49\00:47:41.82
you've heard the
phrase and pastors uses
00:47:41.86\00:47:43.19
before they said, "All the...
00:47:43.22\00:47:45.43
"We've got all the money
in the world that we need"
00:47:45.46\00:47:48.50
but it's just in
someone else's pocket.
00:47:48.53\00:47:50.23
Exactly.
00:47:50.27\00:47:51.60
It's God the
one who owns it all.
00:47:51.63\00:47:52.97
Anyway as He says,
00:47:53.00\00:47:54.34
"You know, the cattle on
a thousand hills is mine."
00:47:54.37\00:47:56.34
If I weren't hungry, I
wouldn't tell you basically.
00:47:56.37\00:47:59.04
You know, everything is mine.
00:47:59.07\00:48:01.78
And I just want
to emphasize quickly
00:48:01.81\00:48:03.24
that, that, there...
00:48:03.28\00:48:05.01
Regarding the motorhome
00:48:05.05\00:48:06.38
or any other needs that we have,
00:48:06.41\00:48:08.22
there is an option for donating
00:48:08.25\00:48:09.78
on our website
DawnOfHopeMinistry.com.
00:48:09.82\00:48:13.05
And also Dawn of Hope
Ministry is a 501c3 non-profit.
00:48:13.09\00:48:17.66
So any gift that you
give will be tax deductible
00:48:17.69\00:48:20.53
and we'll be happy to send you
00:48:20.56\00:48:23.00
a tax deductible

00:48:23.03\00:48:25.80
And there also you will go
00:48:25.83\00:48:27.64
to that website
DawnOfHopeMinistry.com.
00:48:27.67\00:48:29.77
And there's a project tab
00:48:29.80\00:48:31.74
which also talks
about some of the needs.
00:48:31.77\00:48:34.18
It says, "Replace motorhome."
00:48:34.21\00:48:35.54
You will see the tab
there and you can tap on that
00:48:35.58\00:48:38.25
and make the donation.
00:48:38.28\00:48:39.61
And as Stephanie said,
it's 501c3, tax deductible.
00:48:39.65\00:48:44.49
But let me just appeal
to you what Stephanie...
00:48:44.52\00:48:47.49
And I've discovered a
new facet about you today.
00:48:47.56\00:48:50.93
I don't know
you were a preacher.
00:48:50.96\00:48:52.99
I mean, you really
had that in your heart.
00:48:53.03\00:48:54.96
Your connection with
God is not just music,
00:48:55.00\00:48:57.03
there are great singers
00:48:57.07\00:48:58.73
but there are
very few ministers.
00:48:58.77\00:49:00.47
And you are...
00:49:00.50\00:49:01.84
I want to say praise
God, you are a minister.
00:49:01.87\00:49:03.30
Yes. Yes. And
thank you for that.
00:49:03.34\00:49:04.87
All through the
grace of God, truly.
00:49:04.91\00:49:08.04
As we segue from the motorhome,
00:49:08.08\00:49:10.68
we're thinking about
doing a future project together,
00:49:10.71\00:49:12.65
also talk about that?
00:49:12.68\00:49:14.05
Yes, we've talked extensively
00:49:14.08\00:49:16.62
about recording
an album together.
00:49:16.65\00:49:18.25
We've already...
00:49:18.29\00:49:19.62
We've been coming
up with ideas for songs
00:49:19.65\00:49:21.82
and I just ask the
viewers for prayer concerning
00:49:21.86\00:49:25.49
that as we coordinate
our schedules far enough
00:49:25.53\00:49:29.13
into the future that
we can put this together,
00:49:29.16\00:49:32.17
that it will be a
blessing to many people.
00:49:32.20\00:49:34.77
And just to get an
idea of some of the ministry
00:49:34.80\00:49:36.57
that Lord as allowed
us, you can go to YouTube,
00:49:36.60\00:49:40.48
we have a couple of songs there.
00:49:40.51\00:49:41.84
I think a couple
of, two or three songs,
00:49:41.88\00:49:43.35
one that has become a
favorite among many of those
00:49:43.38\00:49:45.78
who have tuned in.
00:49:45.81\00:49:47.15
And I go back and
listen to it once in a while,
00:49:47.22\00:49:49.12
so I may be among
the counter there.
00:49:49.15\00:49:51.72
It's over 580,000 views
and that's a humbling thought
00:49:51.75\00:49:55.39
but the message of it,
"Wonderful Merciful Savior."
00:49:55.42\00:49:58.39
As we're winding
the program, Dawn,
00:49:58.43\00:49:59.76
talk about how you
have discovered the beauty
00:49:59.79\00:50:02.86
that God is a
wonderful merciful Savior
00:50:02.90\00:50:05.67
in the ministry that
you've been involved in?
00:50:05.70\00:50:07.14
Well, as I have said,
00:50:07.20\00:50:08.54
I have discovered
God's incredible character
00:50:08.57\00:50:11.54
through my most difficult times.
00:50:11.57\00:50:15.11
I remember a time
when I was very, very ill.
00:50:15.14\00:50:18.51
And there was one day
00:50:18.55\00:50:20.58
when I was just
so emotionally tired.
00:50:20.62\00:50:22.72
I felt I didn't care anymore.
00:50:22.75\00:50:25.12
And for the
first time in my life,
00:50:25.15\00:50:27.79
I felt tempted to
give up on God entirely.
00:50:27.82\00:50:31.03
And I said,
00:50:31.06\00:50:32.39
"Lord, I don't want to make
the decision I'm about to make,
00:50:32.43\00:50:36.83
but You're going to
have to hold me up."
00:50:36.90\00:50:39.73
And literally
within seconds after
00:50:39.77\00:50:42.24
that prayer left my lips,
00:50:42.27\00:50:44.34
God flooded my
mind with the scriptures
00:50:44.37\00:50:47.31
I needed at that moment,
00:50:47.34\00:50:49.78
to remind me that
He was holding on to me
00:50:49.81\00:50:53.21
and would not let me go.
00:50:53.25\00:50:54.58
And through...
00:50:54.62\00:50:55.95
During one of the
darkest periods of my life,
00:50:55.98\00:50:58.32
I saw a facet of God's character
00:50:58.35\00:51:01.56
that I had not
experienced before,
00:51:01.59\00:51:03.86
His ability and
willingness to hold on to me
00:51:03.93\00:51:08.10
when I was not
able to hold on to Him.
00:51:08.13\00:51:11.80
And very briefly,
another experience I had.
00:51:11.83\00:51:14.47
I went for a long time resisting
00:51:14.50\00:51:17.71
the thought of
conviction of sin.
00:51:17.74\00:51:19.91
To me it was a scary thing.
00:51:19.94\00:51:22.31
And God was very
patient with me for a long time.
00:51:22.34\00:51:25.25
We serve an
incredibly patient God
00:51:25.28\00:51:27.78
and He did not push
the issue initially,
00:51:27.82\00:51:30.15
but eventually He allowed me
00:51:30.19\00:51:32.52
to enter into a very
dark place in my life
00:51:32.55\00:51:35.86
where I was forced
to come face to face
00:51:35.89\00:51:39.23
with the condition
I was in spiritually.
00:51:39.26\00:51:42.70
I was listening
to Christian radio
00:51:42.73\00:51:45.57
where someone was
giving his testimony,
00:51:45.60\00:51:48.04
where he had accepted Christ
and he felt this peace and joy,
00:51:48.07\00:51:52.04
he didn't want to do the
bad things he did anymore.
00:51:52.07\00:51:54.74
And I couldn't understand
00:51:54.78\00:51:56.11
why I wasn't
having that experience.
00:51:56.14\00:51:58.65
So in desperation
I cried out to God,
00:51:58.68\00:52:01.58
and in that
moment I finally told Him
00:52:01.62\00:52:04.55
that I would be willing
even to be convicted of sin,
00:52:04.59\00:52:07.76
even if, just so
00:52:07.79\00:52:09.19
that He would
reveal Himself to me.
00:52:09.22\00:52:11.43
Even if it meant
being convicted of sin,
00:52:11.46\00:52:13.33
I needed Him to
be real in my life.
00:52:13.40\00:52:15.30
And God did answer that prayer.
00:52:15.33\00:52:18.37
I wasn't
prepared for it at first.
00:52:18.40\00:52:20.74
But He did so by
showing me an issue in my life
00:52:20.80\00:52:24.34
that should not be there
and it was painful to face.
00:52:24.37\00:52:27.88
But I will tell you that,
00:52:27.91\00:52:29.24
that was the
beginning of a journey
00:52:29.28\00:52:30.65
that led me to the place now
00:52:30.71\00:52:32.21
where I have seen
the beauty in repentance.
00:52:32.25\00:52:35.82
How beautiful it is to
let God shine His light
00:52:35.85\00:52:39.22
into your heart and
reveal to you things
00:52:39.25\00:52:41.96
that should not be there
00:52:41.99\00:52:43.32
and then give you the gift
of repentance where you weep,
00:52:43.39\00:52:46.86
not because you're
beating yourself up
00:52:46.90\00:52:49.00
but because He has
given you godly sorrow
00:52:49.03\00:52:51.67
for the way you
have hurt Him and others.
00:52:51.70\00:52:54.17
And there is
something very healing
00:52:54.20\00:52:56.27
in that experience.
00:52:56.30\00:52:57.64
It's a beautiful experience
as God not only forgives you
00:52:57.67\00:53:00.98
but cleanses
you of those things.
00:53:01.01\00:53:03.88
Before that experience,
I saw God is my friend
00:53:03.95\00:53:07.35
and now because
of that experience,
00:53:07.42\00:53:09.75
not only do I
see Him as my friend
00:53:09.78\00:53:12.39
but I see Him as my father.
00:53:12.42\00:53:14.19
Amen. Wow. Thank you, Stephanie.
00:53:14.26\00:53:15.82
That's a wonderful segue.
00:53:15.86\00:53:18.26
I praise the Lord
for that testimony.
00:53:18.29\00:53:20.43
But I want to give people
an opportunity to invite you,
00:53:20.50\00:53:23.33
