As you're well aware,
00:00:01.76\00:00:03.10
we're living in
unprecedented times.
00:00:03.13\00:00:05.67
Join us now for
today's special program.
00:00:05.70\00:00:08.20
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.84\00:00:18.35
Mending broken people
00:00:18.38\00:00:23.45
I want to spend my life
00:00:23.49\00:00:29.39
Removing pain
00:00:29.42\00:00:34.26
Lord, let my words
00:00:34.30\00:00:39.73
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:39.77\00:00:44.71
I want to spend my life
00:00:44.74\00:00:50.38
Mending broken people
00:00:50.41\00:00:55.42
I want to spend my life
00:00:55.45\00:01:00.99
Mending broken people.
00:01:01.02\00:01:04.86
Hello and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.67
Thank you for joining us
as you do each and every day.
00:01:17.71\00:01:21.34
Today, I have a special guest.
00:01:21.38\00:01:23.81
I'm not sure
exactly how to introduce her
00:01:23.85\00:01:26.31
as a guest, as a 3ABN,
00:01:26.35\00:01:31.29
what do you
call, worker with us.
00:01:31.32\00:01:32.72
We all work together
in the Lord's vineyard
00:01:32.75\00:01:34.66
and my wife.
00:01:34.69\00:01:36.02
So this is a great,
great to have you Yvonne,
00:01:36.06\00:01:39.53
Dr. Yvonne Shelton on.
00:01:39.56\00:01:41.46
And what a privilege
to have you on today.
00:01:41.50\00:01:43.70
It's a privilege to be here.
00:01:43.73\00:01:45.37
I'm so excited.
00:01:45.40\00:01:46.74
This reminds me
of the first time
00:01:46.77\00:01:48.50
we met actually.
00:01:48.54\00:01:49.87
Many years ago. Many years ago.
00:01:49.90\00:01:51.24
We met on the
set I interviewed you
00:01:51.27\00:01:53.94
and C.A Murray set that up.
00:01:53.98\00:01:55.51
Yes, he did.
00:01:55.54\00:01:56.88
I think he had
other things in mind.
00:01:56.91\00:01:58.25
I think he did too.
00:01:58.28\00:02:00.12
Apparently it worked,
C.A, if you're watching.
00:02:00.15\00:02:02.22
Thank you.
00:02:02.25\00:02:04.49
That's right. Thank you.
00:02:04.52\00:02:05.85
So we are going to be talking
about a book today brand new,
00:02:05.89\00:02:09.16
as they say hot off the press.
00:02:09.19\00:02:11.19
And it's called
"Glimpses of His glory."
00:02:11.23\00:02:14.60
And we're going to find out
about this in just a moment.
00:02:14.63\00:02:17.27
We're going to have
some song in just a minute,
00:02:17.30\00:02:19.23
Jaime Jorge is going to
be playing for us El Shaddai.
00:02:19.27\00:02:23.37
But this book is about
the names of God, right?
00:02:23.41\00:02:26.44
Yes, it's about
the different names
00:02:26.47\00:02:28.48
and titles of God
00:02:28.51\00:02:30.21
that a lot of times
we're not really familiar with.
00:02:30.25\00:02:33.45
When we read the
King James Version,
00:02:33.48\00:02:35.62
or New King James,
King James versions,
00:02:35.65\00:02:38.25
we just see God or Lord,
00:02:38.29\00:02:40.46
but we don't see
the different titles,
00:02:40.49\00:02:42.62
the Hebrew titles.
00:02:42.66\00:02:43.99
So this book has a bunch
00:02:44.03\00:02:45.86
of the different
Hebrew titles in it.
00:02:45.89\00:02:47.90
Okay, well, what got
you to thinking about that?
00:02:47.93\00:02:50.83
Okay, so, so I was
reading a book about prayer,
00:02:50.87\00:02:55.47
and how to make your
prayer life more intense,
00:02:55.50\00:02:59.94
more satisfying.
00:02:59.97\00:03:01.64
And the author
started talking about
00:03:01.68\00:03:05.98
how she had started
studying the names of God.
00:03:06.01\00:03:09.72
And I thought,
00:03:09.75\00:03:11.15
wow, that sounds interesting
because I don't know,
00:03:11.19\00:03:13.32
I have this
fascination with names.
00:03:13.36\00:03:15.16
I like to know,
what's this person's name
00:03:15.19\00:03:16.83
or what's that person's name.
00:03:16.86\00:03:18.26
So I said, "Let
me just look at it."
00:03:18.29\00:03:20.50
And I looked at it,
and it was just so rich.
00:03:20.53\00:03:24.23
And it's so intensified
my relationship with God
00:03:24.27\00:03:28.34
that I thought,
00:03:28.37\00:03:29.70
wow, wouldn't it be
great to have a book with this,
00:03:29.74\00:03:33.51
and with the stories
of some of the people
00:03:33.54\00:03:36.88
that I've
interviewed over the years,
00:03:36.91\00:03:39.48
and in whose
lives God manifested
00:03:39.51\00:03:42.05
various aspects
of His character,
00:03:42.08\00:03:43.99
so this is what's it about.
00:03:44.02\00:03:45.35
Through the different
names of that represent God,
00:03:45.39\00:03:48.06
His different names
00:03:48.09\00:03:49.42
are different
aspects of His character.
00:03:49.46\00:03:51.73
And so you put together,
00:03:51.76\00:03:53.53
you put together
the names with people
00:03:53.56\00:03:56.03
whose lives have been changed
through those aspects, right?
00:03:56.06\00:03:59.57
Yes, it's...
00:03:59.60\00:04:00.94
I asked the Lord with
each story that I had,
00:04:00.97\00:04:05.27
I asked the Lord
to please reveal to me
00:04:05.31\00:04:07.71
which name
00:04:07.74\00:04:09.21
that He would want me to
pair with that experience.
00:04:09.24\00:04:13.45
And so, He gave me the names
00:04:13.48\00:04:17.29
and I'm just so thrilled
00:04:17.32\00:04:18.69
because, for me,
this is such a way
00:04:18.72\00:04:22.46
for people to
really see who God is.
00:04:22.49\00:04:25.43
We can't, there's no one title
00:04:25.46\00:04:29.06
that encompasses
everything that God is,
00:04:29.10\00:04:31.80
he's so many different things.
00:04:31.83\00:04:33.87
He's so, He has so many
aspects of His character
00:04:33.90\00:04:36.81
and these aspects
work complementarily,
00:04:36.84\00:04:40.74
they're not separate.
00:04:40.78\00:04:42.28
They all work together.
00:04:42.31\00:04:43.65
So He's, you know,
00:04:43.68\00:04:45.01
He's the Lord our Righteousness,
00:04:45.05\00:04:46.38
and He's also the
God who sanctifies.
00:04:46.41\00:04:48.28
I mean, He's
all of those things.
00:04:48.32\00:04:50.05
But each
person, each contributor
00:04:50.09\00:04:53.86
had a specific experience
00:04:53.89\00:04:56.42
that kind of highlighted
00:04:56.46\00:04:58.46
that particular
aspect of His character.
00:04:58.49\00:05:01.40
Oh, it's fabulous.
00:05:01.43\00:05:03.00
When I first started reading,
00:05:03.03\00:05:04.37
it's one of those
you can't put down.
00:05:04.40\00:05:06.10
So I'm going to
tell you ahead of time
00:05:06.13\00:05:07.70
when you get your book,
00:05:07.74\00:05:09.30
you probably won't
be able to put it down.
00:05:09.34\00:05:11.87
And I like the way you wrote it,
00:05:11.91\00:05:13.51
you would expect
maybe a theologian
00:05:13.54\00:05:15.98
or someone might
tackle something like this.
00:05:16.01\00:05:19.31
But in this case,
I'm glad they didn't,
00:05:19.35\00:05:20.78
because you
made it really simple
00:05:20.82\00:05:22.42
for those of us who are laymen
00:05:22.45\00:05:24.49
to really understand.
00:05:24.52\00:05:25.85
And then again,
the stories in it,
00:05:25.89\00:05:27.92
what it helps you do
and what it helped me do,
00:05:27.96\00:05:30.83
as soon as I read it,
00:05:30.86\00:05:32.19
I didn't want to
tell her but I was,
00:05:32.23\00:05:33.63
I literally cried
the first chapter too,
00:05:33.66\00:05:35.96
because I said,
00:05:36.00\00:05:37.33
this is just
amazing to realize this God,
00:05:37.37\00:05:40.20
because right now we're just
00:05:40.24\00:05:41.67
oh, Lord, help me for
this and, God, I need this.
00:05:41.70\00:05:43.97
And we don't take all of that,
00:05:44.01\00:05:46.17
that to look at
each facet of Him
00:05:46.21\00:05:48.08
and there's so many.
00:05:48.11\00:05:49.44
We're just uncovering a
little tiny bit right now.
00:05:49.48\00:05:52.18
So it really was mind-boggling.
00:05:52.21\00:05:54.12
I said, "Can you imagine?"
00:05:54.15\00:05:55.52
No wonder we need eternity
to spend with God, right?
00:05:55.55\00:05:58.82
With the Lord Jesus Christ,
00:05:58.85\00:06:00.79
because it's going to
take eons of time to understand
00:06:00.82\00:06:04.66
His character of love.
00:06:04.69\00:06:06.33
And how He could care
enough for His people,
00:06:06.36\00:06:09.16
that He would literally
they make a plan of salvation,
00:06:09.20\00:06:12.30
you know,
redemption for fallen man.
00:06:12.33\00:06:15.34
Yeah, I'm so glad you said that,
00:06:15.37\00:06:17.11
you know, about His love,
00:06:17.14\00:06:18.91
because that's
what it's all about.
00:06:18.94\00:06:21.88
You know, Satan
has, I mean, He spends,
00:06:21.91\00:06:24.85
he ever live it to
distort God's character.
00:06:24.88\00:06:28.28
But once we
read about who He is,
00:06:28.32\00:06:32.45
and have these names,
00:06:32.49\00:06:34.42
and at the end of each chapter,
00:06:34.46\00:06:36.79
there's a prayer
00:06:36.83\00:06:38.16
that the reader can pray
out loud using that name.
00:06:38.19\00:06:42.43
And so it just to me,
00:06:42.46\00:06:44.17
it just draws you closer to Him.
00:06:44.20\00:06:46.07
Because you get to see,
00:06:46.10\00:06:48.14
oh, wow, He has shown me
00:06:48.17\00:06:50.54
this aspect of His character,
00:06:50.57\00:06:51.91
and you begin to think
00:06:51.94\00:06:53.27
about how He's manifested
that in your own life as well.
00:06:53.31\00:06:56.85
And that's the whole idea.
00:06:56.88\00:06:58.21
It's not just looking at
other people's experiences,
00:06:58.25\00:07:01.02
but then looking
at your own experience
00:07:01.05\00:07:04.45
and seeing how He has been,
00:07:04.49\00:07:06.96
you know, Elohim,
00:07:06.99\00:07:08.72
the God who
recreates us actually,
00:07:08.76\00:07:11.36
or El Tzur, our Rock,
00:07:11.39\00:07:15.23
so we get to see
who He is, how He is.
00:07:15.26\00:07:20.14
And as we say
the prayers out loud
00:07:20.17\00:07:22.57
at the end of the chapter,
00:07:22.60\00:07:24.27
it just draws you closer to Him.
00:07:24.31\00:07:26.41
Oh, wonderful.
00:07:26.44\00:07:27.78
I know that this took
you many, many months.
00:07:27.81\00:07:29.84
I'm going to
guess close to a year.
00:07:29.88\00:07:31.95
Every spare minute
whether it was late at night,
00:07:31.98\00:07:34.52
early morning, weekends.
00:07:34.55\00:07:37.85
This woman spent
hundreds and hundreds of hours
00:07:37.89\00:07:40.69
because the research
to this took so long.
00:07:40.72\00:07:44.19
I'm used to writing
something I get in a hurry
00:07:44.23\00:07:46.70
and try to get it in a few days,
00:07:46.73\00:07:48.06
or at least two or three weeks
00:07:48.10\00:07:49.43
get something compiled together,
00:07:49.46\00:07:51.07
at least ready to
edit by that point.
00:07:51.10\00:07:53.20
But I mean, you
literally spared no,
00:07:53.23\00:07:55.70
you didn't take any shortcuts.
00:07:55.74\00:07:57.67
And it, what did it do,
00:07:57.71\00:08:00.48
then we're going to go to music,
00:08:00.51\00:08:01.84
then we have Dwight Hall
00:08:01.88\00:08:03.21
that's going to
be on for a minute.
00:08:03.24\00:08:04.58
Dwight printed this,
00:08:04.61\00:08:05.95
but I think he has
a story in here also.
00:08:05.98\00:08:07.32
He does, he does,
and it's wonderful.
00:08:07.35\00:08:09.68
And I'm just so
glad he's with us today.
00:08:09.72\00:08:11.99
Yeah, so
personally, did writing this,
00:08:12.02\00:08:15.69
what did that do for
you on a spiritual level?
00:08:15.72\00:08:17.79
Oh, man, Danny,
00:08:17.83\00:08:19.53
it really drew me
00:08:19.56\00:08:22.86
into a deeper
relationship with the Lord
00:08:22.90\00:08:26.40
because it's kind of like
00:08:26.43\00:08:28.80
when you know
someone by name versus,
00:08:28.84\00:08:32.27
you know, just kind
of generally knowing
00:08:32.31\00:08:34.14
about them,
00:08:34.18\00:08:35.51
but when you call them by name,
00:08:35.54\00:08:37.45
there's so many, I mean,
00:08:37.48\00:08:38.81
and actually one
of my favorite verses
00:08:38.85\00:08:40.28
is you know,
00:08:40.32\00:08:41.65
"Fear not for I've redeemed you,
00:08:41.68\00:08:43.02
I've called you by
name, you're mine."
00:08:43.05\00:08:45.15
So He calls us by name,
00:08:45.19\00:08:47.66
but we now know His names
and we can call Him by name.
00:08:47.69\00:08:52.03
And it just,
00:08:52.06\00:08:53.40
it just really deepens
that intimacy with the Lord.
00:08:53.43\00:08:57.77
You know, it just,
it's so special to know
00:08:57.80\00:09:01.00
these different
titles that He has.
00:09:01.04\00:09:02.74
All right. Well,
we have Jaime Jorge.
00:09:02.77\00:09:05.57
And as you know,
he's a great violinist,
00:09:05.61\00:09:08.84
I'm thankful he's
on the Lord's side.
00:09:08.88\00:09:11.31
And he plays music
that gives honor and glory.
00:09:11.35\00:09:13.78
And this song
is one of the names
00:09:13.82\00:09:15.65
that you've written
about here in the book,
00:09:15.68\00:09:17.49
El Shaddai.
00:09:17.52\00:09:18.85
Okay if you
clap, you have to sing.
00:09:31.37\00:09:34.14
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:09:34.17\00:09:38.84
El-elyon na adonia
00:09:38.87\00:09:43.41
Age to age you're still the same
00:09:43.45\00:09:47.88
By the power of the name
00:09:47.92\00:09:52.49
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:09:52.52\00:09:57.06
Erkamka na adonai
00:09:57.09\00:10:01.70
We will praise and lift you high
00:10:01.73\00:10:06.33
El shaddai
00:10:06.37\00:10:11.04
Through your love
and through the ram
00:10:11.07\00:10:15.44
You saved the son of Abraham
00:10:15.48\00:10:20.02
And by the power of your hand
00:10:20.05\00:10:24.65
Turned the sea into dry land
00:10:24.69\00:10:29.12
To the outcast on her knees
00:10:29.16\00:10:33.60
You were the God who really sees
00:10:33.63\00:10:39.27
By your might
00:10:39.30\00:10:41.30
You set your children free
00:10:41.34\00:10:47.34
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:10:47.38\00:10:51.91
El-elyon na adonia
00:10:51.95\00:10:56.45
Age to age you're still the same
00:10:56.48\00:11:01.06
By the power of the name
00:11:01.09\00:11:05.53
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:11:05.56\00:11:10.07
Erkamka na adonai
00:11:10.10\00:11:14.67
We will praise and lift you high
00:11:14.70\00:11:19.37
El shaddai.
00:11:19.41\00:11:23.88
Through the years
you've made it clear
00:11:23.91\00:11:28.58
That the time of Christ was near
00:11:28.62\00:11:33.12
Though the people failed to see
00:11:33.15\00:11:37.39
What Messiah ought to be
00:11:37.43\00:11:41.86
And though your
word contained the plan,
00:11:41.90\00:11:46.47
They just could not understand
00:11:46.50\00:11:51.47
Your most awesome work was done
00:11:51.51\00:11:56.08
Through the frailty of your son.
00:11:56.11\00:12:02.58
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:12:02.62\00:12:07.39
El-elyon na adonai,
00:12:07.42\00:12:12.06
Age to age you're still the same
00:12:12.09\00:12:16.67
By the power of the name
00:12:16.70\00:12:21.44
El shaddai, el shaddai
00:12:21.47\00:12:25.94
Erkamka na adonai
00:12:25.97\00:12:30.61
We will praise and lift you high
00:12:30.65\00:12:35.18
El shaddai
00:12:35.22\00:12:39.82
We will praise
and lift you high,
00:12:39.85\00:12:44.56
El shaddai.
00:12:44.59\00:12:49.33
Amen. Thank you, Jaime.
00:12:57.91\00:12:59.54
I understand that's Michael Card
00:12:59.57\00:13:01.18
who wrote the song.
00:13:01.21\00:13:02.54
And Jaime was playing
I'm told with the soundtrack
00:13:02.58\00:13:05.88
from a live concert he had.
00:13:05.91\00:13:08.15
And that's Michael Card singing
00:13:08.18\00:13:09.95
and he's the one also
wrote the song El Shaddai.
00:13:09.98\00:13:12.72
Great song. Tell us
a little bit about it.
00:13:12.75\00:13:15.12
You wrote about El Shaddai.
00:13:15.16\00:13:16.52
I did. I did.
00:13:16.56\00:13:18.16
So El Shaddai
means Almighty God.
00:13:18.19\00:13:23.60
God Almighty. All right.
00:13:23.63\00:13:25.57
Um, the word El means might
00:13:25.60\00:13:30.27
or power and that's often used,
00:13:30.31\00:13:32.54
that's where
Elohim is derived from.
00:13:32.57\00:13:35.78
And then Shaddai comes
from the Hebrew root word shad,
00:13:35.81\00:13:41.42
which actually means breast.
00:13:41.45\00:13:43.85
So Shaddai is
like the poor forth,
00:13:43.89\00:13:48.79
the shedder forth,
00:13:48.82\00:13:50.49
the one who nurtures
and who's all bountiful.
00:13:50.53\00:13:54.33
And who's our sustainer and who,
00:13:54.36\00:13:57.77
for whom nothing is impossible.
00:13:57.80\00:14:00.44
He is the God
00:14:00.47\00:14:02.30
who can not only
will it to happen,
00:14:02.34\00:14:06.78
will or have a purpose,
00:14:06.81\00:14:08.34
but He can make
that purpose happen.
00:14:08.38\00:14:10.95
So He is the
all-powerful Almighty God,
00:14:10.98\00:14:14.75
El Shaddai.
00:14:14.78\00:14:16.12
Wow, beautiful.
00:14:16.15\00:14:17.55
Now speaking
that we have mentioned
00:14:17.59\00:14:19.65
Dwight Hall with the
Remnant Publications.
00:14:19.69\00:14:23.56
He not only printed the
book, but as we mentioned,
00:14:23.59\00:14:26.16
actually has the story in here.
00:14:26.19\00:14:28.76
So, Dwight, are you with us now?
00:14:28.80\00:14:32.53
I am. It's so good to be here.
00:14:32.57\00:14:34.14
It's so good to
hear the story already.
00:14:34.17\00:14:36.91
And it's exciting that you
have a book that can really,
00:14:36.94\00:14:41.04
I think inspire a lot of people,
00:14:41.08\00:14:43.38
not just about,
00:14:43.41\00:14:44.78
we always hear
God, like you said,
00:14:44.81\00:14:46.88
but to inspire them
on more of a personal God
00:14:46.92\00:14:49.72
with any kind of
problem that we have.
00:14:49.75\00:14:52.52
That God which is the same
God but it becomes personal.
00:14:52.55\00:14:55.36
Anyway, I think
it's a tremendous book.
00:14:55.39\00:14:57.86
Absolutely.
00:14:57.89\00:14:59.23
And now you have a story in it?
00:14:59.26\00:15:01.96
I do. It's
actually under El Shaddai.
00:15:02.00\00:15:04.83
Okay.
00:15:04.87\00:15:06.20
Isn't that amazing? So
we have the El Shaddai.
00:15:06.23\00:15:08.34
And Yvonne said,
man, that was a God thing
00:15:08.37\00:15:10.57
because Melody picked
out the song our daughter.
00:15:10.61\00:15:13.17
And you know, she
lives in Nashville,
00:15:13.21\00:15:15.14
and she picks out the music,
00:15:15.18\00:15:16.91
but she didn't really know
00:15:16.95\00:15:18.51
that it was
going to be your story
00:15:18.55\00:15:19.91
and you are going to be on.
00:15:19.95\00:15:21.28
I'm telling
you, when I saw that,
00:15:21.32\00:15:22.82
when I saw on the lower
thirds, it was El Shaddai.
00:15:22.85\00:15:26.02
I was like looking God,
just working it all out.
00:15:26.05\00:15:29.36
It's beautiful. And
that's Dwight's story.
00:15:29.39\00:15:32.13
I thought you planned it.
00:15:32.16\00:15:34.06
See, that's how
God works things out.
00:15:34.10\00:15:35.76
He work it out totally.
00:15:35.80\00:15:38.13
So the beautiful thing, Dwight,
00:15:38.17\00:15:41.00
about your story
that you're going to share
00:15:41.04\00:15:43.07
is that it fit
00:15:43.10\00:15:45.34
the El Shaddai
title so perfectly,
00:15:45.37\00:15:50.01
it was just like, wow,
look at God all bountiful,
00:15:50.05\00:15:53.85
our sustainer.
00:15:53.88\00:15:55.25
And so, yes, so
please tell us your story?
00:15:55.28\00:15:59.19
Well, I'll
share a short version.
00:15:59.22\00:16:01.36
But back when I
started Remnant Publications,
00:16:01.39\00:16:04.79
we sold our other companies,
00:16:04.83\00:16:06.16
we had a number of
different companies.
00:16:06.19\00:16:08.70
And we moved out to Montana,
00:16:08.73\00:16:11.07
and we want to just
draw closer to the Lord,
00:16:11.10\00:16:13.07
we homeschooled our children.
00:16:13.10\00:16:15.24
But we only had a
certain amount of resources.
00:16:15.27\00:16:18.61
As far as money,
we were out of debt.
00:16:18.64\00:16:21.34
And we said we're
going to try to live
00:16:21.38\00:16:23.14
on $13,000 a year,
00:16:23.18\00:16:24.68
which is not an easy
task, because this is years ago,
00:16:24.71\00:16:29.38
but being out of debt,
00:16:29.42\00:16:30.75
and we went to second-hand shops
00:16:30.79\00:16:32.32
to buy clothes,
00:16:32.35\00:16:33.69
and Deb made
bread, everything else.
00:16:33.72\00:16:35.92
So even at that we
knew we only had so many,
00:16:35.96\00:16:39.39
so much money to
keep us going for so long.
00:16:39.43\00:16:44.47
And Deb,
00:16:44.50\00:16:46.17
the one that takes
care of our finances.
00:16:46.20\00:16:48.74
She said,
00:16:48.77\00:16:50.11
"What are you going to
do when your money's out?"
00:16:50.14\00:16:52.34
And I said, "Well, honey,
00:16:52.37\00:16:54.08
if I have to
dig ditches by hand,
00:16:54.11\00:16:56.11
I mean, I'll
supply, I'll work hard.
00:16:56.14\00:16:58.98
I have to dig ditches
by hand with a shovel.
00:16:59.01\00:17:00.35
I'll do it."
00:17:00.38\00:17:01.72
She said, "Well,
I'll let you know
00:17:01.75\00:17:03.08
when we just start down
00:17:03.12\00:17:04.45
to about enough
money to buy a shovel."
00:17:04.49\00:17:06.09
And so...
00:17:06.12\00:17:07.86
And believe me, if you know Deb,
00:17:07.89\00:17:09.39
she will let you know.
00:17:09.42\00:17:12.83
So it was about
four years later.
00:17:12.86\00:17:15.60
And you know, we're
working and I was doing odd jobs
00:17:15.63\00:17:18.90
kind of but just
drawing closer to the Lord, had,
00:17:18.93\00:17:21.54
we had Remnant Publications,
but I just felt that I needed,
00:17:21.57\00:17:25.37
there were things in my
life I needed to deal with.
00:17:25.41\00:17:27.78
And the Lord
allowed me to do that.
00:17:27.81\00:17:29.14
So at that four years,
00:17:29.18\00:17:31.85
she came up to me,
and she said, Dwight.
00:17:31.88\00:17:36.05
She said, "We
just have enough money,
00:17:36.08\00:17:38.35
I think to buy a shovel,
00:17:38.39\00:17:39.72
so you better go
to town and buy one."
00:17:39.75\00:17:42.56
And I said, "Well,
you can't do that."
00:17:42.59\00:17:44.63
And she said,
"Well, it's that bad."
00:17:44.66\00:17:47.76
And she said, "We need it.
00:17:47.80\00:17:49.16
We need somehow you need to
be making some money right now,
00:17:49.20\00:17:52.17
go get that shovel."
00:17:52.20\00:17:53.84
So I said, "Well, you
know, I have another idea."
00:17:53.87\00:17:55.80
We've been praying
00:17:55.84\00:17:57.17
and we had dead
trees on our property.
00:17:57.21\00:17:59.47
We had about 30 acres out there.
00:17:59.51\00:18:02.08
There was a little
lake on the property,
00:18:02.11\00:18:03.85
part of the property,
there was some swamp ground.
00:18:03.88\00:18:06.61
So probably 15 acres
of woods, thick woods.
00:18:06.65\00:18:10.69
And there was these dead trees
that were killed by a beetle.
00:18:10.72\00:18:13.46
And they were
probably still standing,
00:18:13.49\00:18:15.52
most of them
were still standing.
00:18:15.56\00:18:17.39
So I called a
Mennonite, a very Christian guy.
00:18:17.43\00:18:21.56
And he's a logger,
00:18:21.60\00:18:22.93
does a lot of big logging
jobs and his name is Ines.
00:18:22.96\00:18:25.73
And I called him I
said, Ines, you've got,
00:18:25.77\00:18:29.74
you know, I
know you said before,
00:18:29.77\00:18:31.11
because I talked to
him about few years before,
00:18:31.14\00:18:32.57
he said, those
trees were worthless,
00:18:32.61\00:18:34.21
they might be good
enough to have firewood,
00:18:34.24\00:18:36.88
but the lumber prices were down
00:18:36.91\00:18:38.78
and they just weren't much money
00:18:38.81\00:18:40.32
as far as getting
money out of them.
00:18:40.35\00:18:42.18
Now I called him
back and he said,
00:18:42.22\00:18:43.55
"The lumber
prices really went up.
00:18:43.59\00:18:45.09
People are
building more log homes,
00:18:45.12\00:18:46.45
these would be
perfect for log homes,
00:18:46.49\00:18:48.06
they're still standing
timber, and they're dried out,
00:18:48.09\00:18:51.23
I'll come out and look at it."
00:18:51.26\00:18:52.99
So we went through the woods,
00:18:53.03\00:18:54.80
and you know,
you got to understand
00:18:54.83\00:18:56.16
that there's dead
trees is not like,
00:18:56.20\00:18:58.57
the property's dead trees,
that's majority of live trees.
00:18:58.60\00:19:01.20
It just here's a
little bit of dead trees
00:19:01.24\00:19:02.84
and there's a stand over here.
00:19:02.87\00:19:04.61
And so we walked our 15 acres.
00:19:04.64\00:19:07.08
And he said,
"I'll tell you what?
00:19:07.11\00:19:08.84
I think there's five
loads of dead trees maybe.
00:19:08.88\00:19:12.95
And so I will pay you
$750 a load for your trees,
00:19:12.98\00:19:16.95
your dead trees."
00:19:16.99\00:19:18.39
And I said, "Well, what?
00:19:18.42\00:19:20.26
What if there's
only four loads?"
00:19:20.29\00:19:21.62
And he said, "Well, I don't care
00:19:21.66\00:19:22.99
how many I'm going to give you
00:19:23.02\00:19:24.36
money $750 for five loads
00:19:24.39\00:19:26.43
whether that's three
loads or five loads."
00:19:26.46\00:19:28.46
I said, "Well, what
happens if there's more?"
00:19:28.50\00:19:30.73
And he said,
"Well, I don't think
00:19:30.77\00:19:32.10
there's going to be more
00:19:32.13\00:19:33.47
but if there is
00:19:33.50\00:19:34.84
I'll give you $750
per load of dead trees."
00:19:34.87\00:19:38.67
And I said look great.
00:19:38.71\00:19:40.04
And he said,
"Well, how do you think?"
00:19:40.08\00:19:41.41
I said, "Well, I'm
an optimistic person.
00:19:41.44\00:19:43.24
And I thought
maybe eight loads."
00:19:43.28\00:19:46.01
And he said, "Well, Dwight,
I've been at this a long time.
00:19:46.05\00:19:49.52
I've got a number
of crews out there.
00:19:49.55\00:19:50.99
We do hundreds and
thousands of acres.
00:19:51.02\00:19:53.25
If you get five loads,
00:19:53.29\00:19:54.62
I think we're going
to be very fortunate."
00:19:54.66\00:19:56.39
And I said, "Well, we'll see."
00:19:56.42\00:19:58.13
So he came in and he said,
00:19:58.16\00:19:59.86
"Now we're going
to be there a week,
00:19:59.89\00:20:02.33
it'll be easy to
take it all the trees down
00:20:02.36\00:20:04.43
and we'll load them
up on the, on the trucks
00:20:04.47\00:20:06.37
and we'll take them
in and we'll pay you."
00:20:06.40\00:20:08.67
So that first week, we
were praying as a family.
00:20:08.70\00:20:11.21
I wasn't praying
00:20:11.24\00:20:12.57
that He would
multiply the trees,
00:20:12.61\00:20:14.14
I was praying that we would
get eight loads or more loads
00:20:14.18\00:20:16.68
than just five loads.
00:20:16.71\00:20:18.05
And what we've been praying for
is we would get enough money,
00:20:18.08\00:20:21.08
another $13,000
to live that year.
00:20:21.12\00:20:24.25
So at the end of the week,
00:20:24.29\00:20:27.36
I went down there on Friday
to this man, and he was there.
00:20:27.39\00:20:29.76
And I said, "So
are you all done?"
00:20:29.79\00:20:32.03
And he said, you
know, Dwight, he said,
00:20:32.06\00:20:33.96
we came up this morning,
we thought we were finished
00:20:34.00\00:20:36.43
and he said, as we walked out,
00:20:36.46\00:20:38.07
we found a little
stand of dead trees
00:20:38.10\00:20:39.73
over in this patch of the woods.
00:20:39.77\00:20:41.80
And he said, we've
already been through there.
00:20:41.84\00:20:43.34
I don't know how we missed it.
00:20:43.37\00:20:44.97
But he said,
we'll do that on Monday.
00:20:45.01\00:20:46.37
And we'll be
through and I said, "Okay,"
00:20:46.41\00:20:47.94
so I got the kids.
00:20:47.98\00:20:49.44
We know, we prayed
during the weekend.
00:20:49.48\00:20:51.55
And so on Monday,
00:20:51.58\00:20:53.62
about 2 o'clock
in the afternoon,
00:20:53.65\00:20:54.98
I walked back down, I
said, "Well, how are you doing?
00:20:55.02\00:20:56.79
You need to get it done."
00:20:56.82\00:20:58.15
He said, "You will
never believe this.
00:20:58.19\00:20:59.89
But as we walked out, had
those stand of dead trees.
00:20:59.92\00:21:03.36
We saw another
stand of dead trees
00:21:03.39\00:21:05.59
all on the other side."
00:21:05.63\00:21:06.96
And he said, "Believe
me, we know how to log,
00:21:07.00\00:21:09.46
we do it very systematically."
00:21:09.50\00:21:12.27
And he said, "I don't
know how they got there.
00:21:12.30\00:21:13.80
But I don't know how we
could have missed them."
00:21:13.84\00:21:15.94
And so 'cause I'm smiling
a little bit at this time.
00:21:15.97\00:21:18.41
So I kind of, I feel
pretty light, you know,
00:21:18.44\00:21:20.98
and so woke up and I
told the kids, I said,
00:21:21.01\00:21:22.34
we need to pray some more.
00:21:22.38\00:21:23.71
I said, You know what?
00:21:23.75\00:21:25.08
I think maybe
the Lord's showing us
00:21:25.11\00:21:27.05
we just have faith
that He takes care of us.
00:21:27.08\00:21:29.42
He's an awesome
God. He's a powerful God.
00:21:29.45\00:21:32.02
And so we prayed,
00:21:32.05\00:21:33.39
the next day was
Tuesday, walked out.
00:21:33.42\00:21:35.79
And I said, "I'm
sure you're done now."
00:21:35.82\00:21:37.16
And he said, he shook his head.
00:21:37.19\00:21:39.53
He said, "Dwight,
as we were walking out,
00:21:39.56\00:21:42.63
we found another
stand of dead trees."
00:21:42.66\00:21:45.63
And he said, "I'm
not going to, Dwight,
00:21:45.67\00:21:47.24
we're going to
be done tomorrow."
00:21:47.27\00:21:49.17
He said, and then
he asked me, he said,
00:21:49.20\00:21:50.71
did you do you know
that story in the Bible
00:21:50.74\00:21:52.24
about the widow and her oil,
00:21:52.27\00:21:53.74
and they kept
bringing in paraffin.
00:21:53.78\00:21:55.14
In fact he asked and he said,
00:21:55.18\00:21:57.05
we're talking about
that and hope through
00:21:57.08\00:21:58.68
because we know
we've cut those trees down,
00:21:58.71\00:22:01.22
and then there's another stand.
00:22:01.25\00:22:03.08
Now they were going
to be done in a week.
00:22:03.12\00:22:04.79
And to make a long story short,
00:22:04.82\00:22:06.15
they were there for three weeks.
00:22:06.19\00:22:08.32
The only reason we quit.
00:22:08.36\00:22:10.46
Now remember,
this is maybe 15 acres,
00:22:10.49\00:22:12.43
we're talking dead trees.
00:22:12.46\00:22:13.80
We're not talking
clear cutting in the woods.
00:22:13.83\00:22:15.90
You know, this
was a miracle of God.
00:22:15.93\00:22:18.27
And so he, he said,
"You know, I've got to quit,
00:22:18.30\00:22:22.00
because I got people
00:22:22.04\00:22:23.37
that are
customers that are upset,
00:22:23.41\00:22:25.01
because we're
two weeks late now.
00:22:25.04\00:22:26.57
So we've got to quit.
00:22:26.61\00:22:27.94
So they were still
dead trees when he left.
00:22:27.98\00:22:29.88
The log cleared,
00:22:29.91\00:22:31.25
but then God drew
another set of dead trees.
00:22:31.28\00:22:36.32
And here's the
neat thing about it.
00:22:36.35\00:22:38.02
You know, I'm
saying maybe eight,
00:22:38.05\00:22:40.79
dreaming big I thought.
00:22:40.82\00:22:42.82
He said five and
probably not that,
00:22:42.86\00:22:46.26
they took out 18 loads of trees.
00:22:46.29\00:22:51.40
And that was, that
was a little over $13,000.
00:22:51.43\00:22:55.30
And so that, you
know, and when I read this,
00:22:55.34\00:22:58.21
when I read this,
00:22:58.24\00:22:59.57
I read this just after
the book came out again,
00:22:59.61\00:23:01.14
and I had tears in my eyes,
00:23:01.18\00:23:02.78
because it
brings you back memories
00:23:02.81\00:23:04.25
that God will
supply all your needs.
00:23:04.28\00:23:07.72
Trying to be faithful
00:23:07.75\00:23:09.28
and God gave us a
year's worth of wages to say,
00:23:09.32\00:23:12.65
"Listen, I'm in control.
00:23:12.69\00:23:14.56
I've called you to do Remnant,
I called you to be faithful,
00:23:14.59\00:23:17.16
I'll take care of it.
00:23:17.19\00:23:18.53
And dead trees
are nothing for me."
00:23:18.56\00:23:20.56
And yes, I was impressed.
00:23:20.60\00:23:22.70
So, yeah, that's my
story. That's a true miracle.
00:23:22.73\00:23:25.43
I mean, to see dead trees
00:23:25.47\00:23:28.77
that they would go out
every day for three weeks
00:23:28.80\00:23:32.04
and there are other
stand of dead trees.
00:23:32.07\00:23:33.51
It's amazing. It
was amazing story.
00:23:33.54\00:23:36.14
What a beautiful story,
00:23:36.18\00:23:37.51
and what a beautiful application
00:23:37.55\00:23:40.18
of the name El Shaddai.
00:23:40.22\00:23:42.55
Because He will
supply all of your needs,
00:23:42.58\00:23:44.95
whatever your needs are,
He is able to supply them.
00:23:44.99\00:23:48.72
And so that's,
that's so beautiful.
00:23:48.76\00:23:51.03
I so appreciate
that story in the book.
00:23:51.06\00:23:53.53
Thank you.
00:23:53.56\00:23:54.96
Well, you know,
Yvonne, something a little bit.
00:23:55.00\00:23:57.53
As I was reading,
00:23:57.57\00:23:58.90
and I've been reading
some of the stories here.
00:23:58.93\00:24:01.50
You know, I would
just maybe encourage
00:24:01.54\00:24:03.34
the 3ABN viewers
that did buy this book,
00:24:03.37\00:24:06.31
I would
encourage everyone buy one,
00:24:06.34\00:24:07.84
I think it's, I
think it's amazing.
00:24:07.88\00:24:09.28
It's a short read,
it's not a big thick book,
00:24:09.31\00:24:11.65
it's easy to
understand, and it's inspiring.
00:24:11.68\00:24:14.82
I would think of the
kind of a cool thing,
00:24:14.85\00:24:16.89
I don't want to give you
guys too much work or emails.
00:24:16.92\00:24:19.92
But what if the
people that bought the book,
00:24:19.95\00:24:23.59
they would come up
00:24:23.63\00:24:25.16
with how the
Lord is blessed them
00:24:25.19\00:24:27.76
on each individual name of God.
00:24:27.80\00:24:31.30
And then email you that
00:24:31.33\00:24:32.93
and let you know
that you know El Shaddai
00:24:32.97\00:24:35.17
here's my story of this
00:24:35.20\00:24:36.54
and all the
other names they would,
00:24:36.57\00:24:38.97
they would tell you and
see how many of your readers
00:24:39.01\00:24:42.18
that would read this book.
00:24:42.21\00:24:43.55
How many of those folks
could come up with a story
00:24:43.58\00:24:46.18
for every one of
those names in your book?
00:24:46.21\00:24:48.55
Oh. Absolutely.
00:24:48.58\00:24:49.98
But the good news
for the viewers at home
00:24:50.02\00:24:52.25
is they're not having to buy it.
00:24:52.29\00:24:54.42
So now their ears
are going up or what?
00:24:54.46\00:24:56.46
No, they're not
having to buy the book.
00:24:56.49\00:24:58.43
All that we've told
and getting ready to tell
00:24:58.46\00:25:01.00
and so you is a good segue
00:25:01.03\00:25:03.23
is that all you have to do
00:25:03.26\00:25:04.60
if you want one
of these literally
00:25:04.63\00:25:06.30
is to make a
donation to 3ABN of any size,
00:25:06.33\00:25:09.60
any amount.
00:25:09.64\00:25:10.97
And so absolutely make a
donation to 3ABN any amount,
00:25:11.01\00:25:14.91
and we'll send you
00:25:14.94\00:25:16.28
one of these
absolutely free of charge,
00:25:16.31\00:25:17.71
just say you want the
free book and Yvonne's book,
00:25:17.75\00:25:20.92
Glimpses of His glory.
00:25:20.95\00:25:22.68
But I think that's a great idea.
00:25:22.72\00:25:24.05
So thank you,
Dwight. God bless you.
00:25:24.09\00:25:25.95
And we look forward
to talking to you again.
00:25:25.99\00:25:28.82
Okay, God bless
both of you, too.
00:25:28.86\00:25:30.33
Thank you.
00:25:30.36\00:25:31.89
So that is a good idea.
00:25:31.93\00:25:33.80
I think it helps us when
we, you know, put ourselves,
00:25:33.83\00:25:37.63
other words you read
about people in the Bible,
00:25:37.67\00:25:39.53
but let's, sometimes
when we see God working in us,
00:25:39.57\00:25:42.87
and through us,
willing to provide,
00:25:42.90\00:25:45.57
you know, miracles for us.
00:25:45.61\00:25:47.34
Then to me, it
changes us personally to it,
00:25:47.38\00:25:50.71
it helps us tremendously,
spiritually, it helps us.
00:25:50.75\00:25:54.02
And so, again, if
you want one of these,
00:25:54.05\00:25:57.15
all you have to do is
make a donation of any size.
00:25:57.19\00:25:59.95
So it's not
we're not selling it,
00:25:59.99\00:26:01.42
we're actually giving
it away, just donation.
00:26:01.46\00:26:03.96
So thank you for
your love and your prayers
00:26:03.99\00:26:06.03
and financial support.
00:26:06.06\00:26:07.40
Now, if you want to
go on, is it Amazon?
00:26:07.43\00:26:09.76
Yeah, Amazon.
00:26:09.80\00:26:11.13
If you want to go
on Amazon and go there,
00:26:11.17\00:26:13.03
you just want a
digital download,
00:26:13.07\00:26:14.57
you can go there and
work that out with them.
00:26:14.60\00:26:16.91
We want to put up
also your email address
00:26:16.94\00:26:19.74
and your website.
00:26:19.77\00:26:21.11
Okay.
00:26:21.14\00:26:22.48
And could you
give us your website?
00:26:22.51\00:26:23.88
Yes, my website
is MagnifyHimPub.com.
00:26:23.91\00:26:28.95
It's MagnifyHimPub for
publishing company.com.
00:26:28.98\00:26:33.05
Okay, great.
00:26:33.09\00:26:34.42
Now, why don't we put up
an email also, they can reach.
00:26:34.46\00:26:37.19
Do you have one? Yes.
00:26:37.23\00:26:38.56
YShelton2020@gmail.com.
00:26:38.59\00:26:43.30
That's YShelton2020@gmail.com.
00:26:43.33\00:26:47.64
Okay, so any
questions and comments,
00:26:47.67\00:26:49.74
anything they want,
00:26:49.77\00:26:51.11
and information about the book,
00:26:51.14\00:26:53.24
you can get,
either of those ways.
00:26:53.27\00:26:55.74
Again, we're
just encouraging you,
00:26:55.78\00:26:58.25
as the Holy Spirit impresses,
you make a donation to 3ABN,
00:26:58.28\00:27:02.38
and we'll send you this
absolutely free of charge.
00:27:02.42\00:27:05.39
And it's a great witnessing tool
00:27:05.42\00:27:07.66
because once if
someone is not a Christian,
00:27:07.69\00:27:11.39
or they don't really
know anything about God,
00:27:11.43\00:27:15.53
and in the back, it has
how they can watch 3ABN.
00:27:15.56\00:27:19.93
So this is really good,
00:27:19.97\00:27:21.47
because it just
kind of keeps people,
00:27:21.50\00:27:24.81
you know, it
keeps them plugged in.
00:27:24.84\00:27:26.37
So after they, after
they've read the book,
00:27:26.41\00:27:28.54
if they want more information,
they can just look at the back
00:27:28.58\00:27:32.58
and go to 3ABN, watch 3ABN.
00:27:32.61\00:27:34.48
Right, the back, and
that's the beauty of it.
00:27:34.52\00:27:36.38
Because, you know,
00:27:36.42\00:27:37.75
the back of it tells
you all the different ways
00:27:37.79\00:27:40.02
you can watch and listen
and get more information.
00:27:40.06\00:27:42.72
And that's the
thing, this thing,
00:27:42.76\00:27:44.26
this book will cross
denominational barriers.
00:27:44.29\00:27:46.66
Everybody's interested,
00:27:46.70\00:27:48.03
Christians are
interested in the name of God,
00:27:48.06\00:27:49.50
but not only Christians.
00:27:49.53\00:27:50.90
I won't tell where we were.
00:27:50.93\00:27:52.27
But we recently at a
doctor's, we met this doctor,
00:27:52.30\00:27:56.54
really nice young lady, Muslim,
00:27:56.57\00:27:59.44
raised born and raised Muslim.
00:27:59.47\00:28:01.81
And so we were talking, I
told her about Yvonne's book.
00:28:01.84\00:28:04.88
So she was
talking to her about it
00:28:04.91\00:28:06.58
and Yvonne said,
"Do you want one?"
00:28:06.61\00:28:08.55
And she said, "Oh, absolutely."
00:28:08.58\00:28:10.42
So we saw a day or two later
00:28:10.45\00:28:12.79
because you don't know
maybe somebody just says,
00:28:12.82\00:28:14.72
oh, they want
one or what have you,
00:28:14.76\00:28:16.42
want to be nice.
00:28:16.46\00:28:17.79
She says, Oh, I called my mother
00:28:17.83\00:28:19.19
who lives in the Middle East.
00:28:19.23\00:28:20.90
I called my mother and
told her about this book.
00:28:20.93\00:28:23.03
She had taken it home
00:28:23.06\00:28:24.40
and looked over
all the names of God.
00:28:24.43\00:28:26.17
And she said,
how did she worded,
00:28:26.20\00:28:27.57
her mother said it was
like a gift that she had been.
00:28:27.60\00:28:30.94
I don't want to say praying for
00:28:30.97\00:28:32.31
but a gift that
she had been wanting
00:28:32.34\00:28:34.24
and would cherish this
00:28:34.28\00:28:35.84
to learn about the names of God.
00:28:35.88\00:28:37.71
So Muslim first,
00:28:37.75\00:28:39.15
I mean, it's just out
a few days at that point.
00:28:39.18\00:28:42.42
And so this will reach
people of all denominations
00:28:42.45\00:28:46.29
or other denominations
00:28:46.32\00:28:47.66
because when you,
00:28:47.69\00:28:49.02
literally the names of
God and they're so beautiful
00:28:49.06\00:28:52.56
and yet you know I'm a kind of
00:28:52.59\00:28:54.80
when I started reading
the Bible as youngster,
00:28:54.83\00:28:56.53
I get any name that's difficult,
00:28:56.56\00:28:57.97
you just go over it.
00:28:58.00\00:28:59.33
You know, I'll
read through the Bible,
00:28:59.37\00:29:00.80
and all these begats this,
00:29:00.84\00:29:02.50
man, I didn't understand
like, da-da, da-da, and move on.
00:29:02.54\00:29:05.57
And so I'm
afraid I have to admit,
00:29:05.61\00:29:07.21
I've kind of
did that in the past
00:29:07.24\00:29:09.01
with some of the names of God.
00:29:09.04\00:29:10.81
But in this case,
00:29:10.85\00:29:12.18
you've really
got my attention now
00:29:12.21\00:29:14.02
and it's like, "Man,
these names are beautiful."
00:29:14.05\00:29:15.95
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:29:15.98\00:29:17.32
You know, they are,
00:29:17.35\00:29:18.69
some of them are
kind of hard to pronounce.
00:29:18.72\00:29:20.16
And so, what I did was,
00:29:20.19\00:29:22.82
I had contacted Carmelita Troy
00:29:22.86\00:29:25.29
who is a board member of 3ABN
00:29:25.33\00:29:28.60
and she is also on the
faculty of Andrews University
00:29:28.63\00:29:32.03
and she
introduced me to Dr. Roy Gane
00:29:32.07\00:29:35.10
who is a professor of
Hebrew and ancient languages
00:29:35.14\00:29:38.74
and Near Eastern
languages at Andrews
00:29:38.77\00:29:41.38
and he helped me with
like the pronunciations
00:29:41.41\00:29:45.45
and meanings and
different concepts.
00:29:45.48\00:29:49.15
In fact, some things in
the appendix come from him.
00:29:49.18\00:29:52.12
So thank you, Dr. Gane,
for your help with that.
00:29:52.15\00:29:54.59
Absolutely.
00:29:54.62\00:29:55.96
The names are...
00:29:55.99\00:29:58.16
Well, we have pronunciations
for every name in there.
00:29:58.19\00:30:01.96
So the way the
book is structured,
00:30:02.00\00:30:03.87
there's the name,
00:30:03.90\00:30:05.23
then there's the
pronunciation of the name
00:30:05.27\00:30:07.20
so you can say it right away.
00:30:07.24\00:30:09.24
Then there's a scripture
in which that name is found.
00:30:09.27\00:30:14.24
Then there's the
biblical context.
00:30:14.28\00:30:16.85
And Brother Dwight
Hall helped me with that,
00:30:16.88\00:30:19.58
because we were having
a conversation one day,
00:30:19.61\00:30:21.08
and he was saying, you know,
00:30:21.12\00:30:22.45
and you could have
the biblical context
00:30:22.48\00:30:24.55
for the name.
00:30:24.59\00:30:25.92
And so, then that's next.
00:30:25.95\00:30:28.06
And then the, then the story...
00:30:28.09\00:30:30.43
Then the story
like Dwight just had.
00:30:30.46\00:30:32.43
Right, the modern
application of the name,
00:30:32.46\00:30:35.00
and then the prayer.
00:30:35.03\00:30:36.40
And it's important to
pray that prayer out loud.
00:30:36.43\00:30:39.87
Like, I just think
00:30:39.90\00:30:41.24
that it really
makes a difference
00:30:41.27\00:30:44.11
when you pray the prayer
out loud using that name.
00:30:44.14\00:30:49.24
May I show you?
00:30:49.28\00:30:50.61
Give you the example.
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:30:50.65\00:30:52.18
And then I want to ask you
about someone who helped you
00:30:52.21\00:30:54.22
that I think was Jewish
or something from musician
00:30:54.25\00:30:57.52
that you used to do music with.
00:30:57.55\00:30:59.09
Yes, yes, yes.
00:30:59.12\00:31:00.46
Okay, I'll tell you.
00:31:00.49\00:31:01.82
So for El Shaddai, for example,
the prayer is El Shaddai,
00:31:01.86\00:31:05.49
Almighty God, You are my source.
00:31:05.53\00:31:08.83
It is because of Your
blessings that I am prosperous.
00:31:08.86\00:31:12.30
Nothing is impossible for You.
00:31:12.33\00:31:14.80
Your bounty
overflows into my life,
00:31:14.84\00:31:17.24
and I'm so
grateful for Your provision.
00:31:17.27\00:31:19.87
Please fill in my areas of lack
00:31:19.91\00:31:22.54
and help me to always appreciate
00:31:22.58\00:31:24.65
Your generosity
by sharing Your gifts
00:31:24.68\00:31:27.25
with those in need.
00:31:27.28\00:31:28.88
Lead me to someone
that I can help today.
00:31:28.92\00:31:32.55
So that's El Shaddai.
00:31:32.59\00:31:33.92
Right, nice.
00:31:33.96\00:31:35.29
So, every one of these
stories throughout this
00:31:35.32\00:31:38.36
starts out that way,
00:31:38.39\00:31:39.73
it gives the
name, the pronunciation,
00:31:39.76\00:31:42.16
gives us
scripture, you know about it,
00:31:42.20\00:31:44.40
then with the
story and has a prayer.
00:31:44.43\00:31:45.77
Yes.
00:31:45.80\00:31:47.14
And so, I want to ask you
00:31:47.17\00:31:49.24
about some of
the other resources
00:31:49.27\00:31:50.64
that helped you.
00:31:50.67\00:31:52.01
Yes.
00:31:52.04\00:31:53.38
So, of course, in the beginning,
00:31:53.41\00:31:55.34
like before I
even talk to Dr. Gane.
00:31:55.38\00:31:58.61
I was wondering, like,
00:31:58.65\00:31:59.98
how do I say some of these names
00:32:00.02\00:32:01.75
because they're online,
00:32:01.78\00:32:03.12
you know, but I didn't
know how to pronounce them
00:32:03.15\00:32:05.59
like El Gibbor Milchamah.
00:32:05.62\00:32:07.82
I had no idea how to say it.
00:32:07.86\00:32:10.16
But you know, so I
called one of my friends
00:32:10.19\00:32:12.66
from the music business,
00:32:12.69\00:32:14.10
one of my Jewish
friends who had been,
00:32:14.13\00:32:17.37
he is the son of a rabbi.
00:32:17.40\00:32:19.40
And he had been a cantor.
00:32:19.43\00:32:22.27
He trained as a
cantor when he was younger,
00:32:22.30\00:32:24.57
and then decided to
go into the jingle world,
00:32:24.61\00:32:27.14
and he was very, very successful
00:32:27.18\00:32:28.78
as a jingle singer.
00:32:28.81\00:32:30.15
I can say his
name is Kenny Karen,
00:32:30.18\00:32:31.78
and Kenny, hi, Kenny.
00:32:31.81\00:32:33.65
Kenny who was
very, very helpful.
00:32:33.68\00:32:36.22
I was able to run things by him,
00:32:36.25\00:32:39.25
I was able to make sure
00:32:39.29\00:32:40.62
that my
pronunciation was authentic.
00:32:40.66\00:32:43.22
And he just, he just
really was very supportive,
00:32:43.26\00:32:46.59
even though he's,
00:32:46.63\00:32:47.96
he considers
himself a secular Jew,
00:32:48.00\00:32:50.60
he still was
really, really supportive.
00:32:50.63\00:32:53.17
And I think it was kind of like,
00:32:53.20\00:32:55.07
reminding him of his roots
00:32:55.10\00:32:56.67
as he was helping me
00:32:56.71\00:32:58.04
it was reminding
him of his roots.
00:32:58.07\00:32:59.41
So that was really
good and, and then just,
00:32:59.44\00:33:03.41
you know, getting
encouragement along the way,
00:33:03.45\00:33:05.98
you encouraged me to just write
00:33:06.01\00:33:09.08
and I know that
and I need to thank you
00:33:09.12\00:33:12.05
because a lot of times
I was just buried in there
00:33:12.09\00:33:14.92
in the worship room,
00:33:14.96\00:33:16.32
just like doing
the research but...
00:33:16.36\00:33:20.60
Well, I was happy in the fact
00:33:20.63\00:33:22.03
that I saw the change in you
00:33:22.06\00:33:23.60
and I saw what it
was doing for you.
00:33:23.63\00:33:26.10
And you would come out saying,
00:33:26.13\00:33:27.47
"Man, I just read this, and boy,
00:33:27.50\00:33:29.00
this is so
delightful, this is so great."
00:33:29.04\00:33:31.47
And your enthusiasm,
00:33:31.51\00:33:32.87
you know, was really tremendous.
00:33:32.91\00:33:35.58
But I saw what it was doing,
you know, spiritually too,
00:33:35.61\00:33:38.48
drawing you closer to the Lord.
00:33:38.51\00:33:40.68
And so what I
would like to do too,
00:33:40.72\00:33:43.02
and we've got time to do it.
00:33:43.05\00:33:44.39
So Yvonne is one if
you, anyone knows her,
00:33:44.42\00:33:48.36
she really is
00:33:48.39\00:33:49.72
and I've known her
for many, many years now.
00:33:49.76\00:33:51.09
And she said we met
on an interview like this
00:33:51.13\00:33:53.50
years ago.
00:33:53.53\00:33:54.86
But she's one of
the most humble people
00:33:54.90\00:33:56.43
that I've ever met.
00:33:56.46\00:33:57.80
So anytime you
talk about Yvonne,
00:33:57.83\00:33:59.67
she will switch this
and you won't even know it.
00:33:59.70\00:34:02.00
Sometimes she'll be,
you ask her about herself,
00:34:02.04\00:34:04.61
and then pretty
soon she's telling you
00:34:04.64\00:34:05.97
about somebody else.
00:34:06.01\00:34:07.34
Or you find her,
she said well, you know,
00:34:07.38\00:34:09.18
my husband is such and
such, she, she does that
00:34:09.21\00:34:12.11
but you have a
story in here yourself.
00:34:12.15\00:34:13.55
Yes.
00:34:13.58\00:34:14.92
And so today, this
is not to uplift Yvonne
00:34:14.95\00:34:18.15
but it's your testimony.
00:34:18.19\00:34:19.75
So I want you to
maybe share what name of God
00:34:19.79\00:34:23.22
and what was your personal story
00:34:23.26\00:34:25.99
that you put in here,
00:34:26.03\00:34:27.56
that where God really showed
Himself through this character?
00:34:27.60\00:34:32.73
Well, yes, so the name
that I was paired with,
00:34:32.77\00:34:39.47
or my story was paired
with was El Hanne'eman,
00:34:39.51\00:34:44.25
the faithful God.
00:34:44.28\00:34:45.75
God, the faithful one.
00:34:45.78\00:34:47.78
Say it again.
00:34:47.82\00:34:49.15
El Hanne'eman.
00:34:49.18\00:34:50.89
Okay. And God is faithful.
00:34:50.92\00:34:54.66
And not only is
He faithful to us,
00:34:54.69\00:34:58.89
but He's
faithful to our ancestors,
00:34:58.93\00:35:01.93
like the prayers
of our ancestors,
00:35:01.96\00:35:05.40
even when they
are sleeping in Him,
00:35:05.43\00:35:08.30
He continues to answer them.
00:35:08.34\00:35:10.71
And so the story,
00:35:10.74\00:35:13.48
and I can, I can
share the scripture.
00:35:13.51\00:35:16.51
The scripture
that the chapter has
00:35:21.38\00:35:25.29
at its beginning,
00:35:25.32\00:35:27.12
is keep in mind that
Y-H-W-H, which is the,
00:35:27.16\00:35:32.53
this is involved
the tetragrammaton
00:35:32.56\00:35:34.66
which is the four letters.
00:35:34.70\00:35:36.77
When God revealed Himself
to Moses at the burning bush,
00:35:36.80\00:35:40.70
when Moses said,
"Who shall I say, sent me?
00:35:40.74\00:35:44.61
What is your name?"
00:35:44.64\00:35:46.11
And God said to him,
He gave him YHWH, which,
00:35:46.14\00:35:51.38
that's we're
transliterating now YHWH,
00:35:51.41\00:35:54.58
which we don't know
00:35:54.62\00:35:56.35
what the exact
pronunciation of that is,
00:35:56.38\00:35:59.15
a lot of scholars say Yahweh,
but we don't really know.
00:35:59.19\00:36:02.56
So in the book, I use YHWH.
00:36:02.59\00:36:06.49
And when you're speaking
that, since you can't, you know,
00:36:06.53\00:36:10.63
says that you can't
pronounce it really,
00:36:10.67\00:36:12.67
a lot of times
you'll say Adonia instead.
00:36:12.70\00:36:15.67
So keep in mind that...
00:36:15.70\00:36:17.84
And it means?
00:36:17.87\00:36:19.91
YHWH?
00:36:19.94\00:36:21.44
The name.
00:36:21.48\00:36:22.91
Well, the name
is, the name actually,
00:36:22.94\00:36:26.11
is the unutterable name,
00:36:26.15\00:36:29.12
it is, it is, it is who He is.
00:36:29.15\00:36:33.49
He says, "When
Moses says that to Him,
00:36:33.52\00:36:37.83
he also says he
is ehyeh 'aer 'ehyeh.
00:36:37.86\00:36:43.57
I am who I am,
or I am that I am.
00:36:43.60\00:36:46.50
But then he says, further down,
00:36:46.53\00:36:48.90
and this is in Exodus 3 I think,
00:36:48.94\00:36:52.27
where he says,
but by my name YHWH,
00:36:52.31\00:36:58.51
that's really that's,
00:36:58.55\00:37:00.15
that's the name that,
00:37:00.18\00:37:02.18
but it's called
the tetragrammaton
00:37:02.22\00:37:03.79
because in Hebrew,
00:37:03.82\00:37:05.19
and this is why
I needed Dr. Gane
00:37:05.22\00:37:06.99
because it was a
little confusing.
00:37:07.02\00:37:08.62
In Hebrew there were no vowels.
00:37:08.66\00:37:12.29
So it's all consonants.
00:37:12.33\00:37:14.00
So it's YHWH so.
00:37:14.03\00:37:17.50
So this verse from, this
is the names of God Bible.
00:37:17.53\00:37:21.84
And I got a lot of verses
00:37:21.87\00:37:23.94
from here with
the original names,
00:37:23.97\00:37:26.21
says, "Keep in mind
00:37:26.24\00:37:27.58
that YHWH your
Elohim is the only Elohim.
00:37:27.61\00:37:32.18
He is a faithful El.
00:37:32.21\00:37:33.85
El Hanne'eman
who keeps His promise
00:37:33.88\00:37:36.65
and is merciful to
thousands of generations
00:37:36.69\00:37:39.79
of those who love Him
and obey His commands."
00:37:39.82\00:37:43.02
That's found in Deuteronomy 7:9.
00:37:43.06\00:37:45.63
So the biblical
context for El Hanne'eman
00:37:45.66\00:37:49.56
was actually talking about
00:37:49.60\00:37:52.97
how Moses had the people of,
00:37:53.00\00:37:56.50
the children of Israel
wandered through the wilderness
00:37:56.54\00:37:58.97
for 40 years,
00:37:59.01\00:38:00.34
they ended up
00:38:00.38\00:38:01.71
getting into
idolatry and whatever.
00:38:01.74\00:38:03.78
So that generation
00:38:03.81\00:38:05.85
didn't cross over
into the Promised Land.
00:38:05.88\00:38:09.58
But the Lord had sworn
to the original ancestors,
00:38:09.62\00:38:15.42
that He would bless
their children and all that.
00:38:15.46\00:38:18.03
And so my point with that
00:38:18.06\00:38:20.30
is that many of
you have grandparents
00:38:20.33\00:38:24.20
or parents who
have prayed for you,
00:38:24.23\00:38:26.40
who might not
even be living now.
00:38:26.43\00:38:28.97
But God continues to
answer and honor their prayers.
00:38:29.00\00:38:32.94
And so that's
what this is about.
00:38:32.97\00:38:35.18
So my
grandmother's Rosalie Jones,
00:38:35.21\00:38:38.65
and Zelma Hodge,
00:38:38.68\00:38:41.48
Rosalie Jones was
my maternal grandmother
00:38:41.52\00:38:44.09
and Zelma Hodge was my paternal,
00:38:44.12\00:38:46.49
my father's mother.
00:38:46.52\00:38:47.86
And they were
powerful women of God.
00:38:47.89\00:38:50.86
And they prayed for me.
00:38:50.89\00:38:53.33
My mom died when I was 19.
00:38:53.36\00:38:55.40
But she also
prayed before she died,
00:38:55.43\00:38:58.43
that my sister
and I would be saved.
00:38:58.47\00:39:02.00
So I went through a time
00:39:02.04\00:39:07.54
of being away from God.
00:39:07.58\00:39:10.55
And I was diluted
because in my mind,
00:39:10.58\00:39:12.81
I thought I was
still a Christian,
00:39:12.85\00:39:15.92
but I wasn't, I
wasn't going to church.
00:39:15.95\00:39:19.19
I wasn't in a
regular prayer relationship,
00:39:19.22\00:39:21.66
reading the Bible.
00:39:21.69\00:39:23.02
I wasn't doing anything.
00:39:23.06\00:39:24.39
I was just, kind of, you know,
sometimes I'd read the Bible.
00:39:24.43\00:39:27.20
I would still pray sometimes.
00:39:27.23\00:39:28.60
But the Lord
wasn't my Lord and Savior.
00:39:28.63\00:39:32.03
He was my Savior,
00:39:32.07\00:39:33.40
but he wasn't
my Lord and Savior.
00:39:33.44\00:39:34.77
Oh, wow.
00:39:34.80\00:39:36.14
And so at that time,
00:39:36.17\00:39:38.01
when I was first
in the music business,
00:39:38.04\00:39:39.71
I had Mark and
Mark is my older son.
00:39:39.74\00:39:44.11
And Mark was a
privileged child, he...
00:39:44.15\00:39:49.28
You're laughing
because you know how he is.
00:39:49.32\00:39:50.85
I do.
00:39:50.89\00:39:52.22
And he basically was, you know.
00:39:52.25\00:39:55.86
He was a privileged child.
He was a privileged child.
00:39:55.89\00:39:58.29
Well, how was he privileged?
00:39:58.33\00:39:59.66
She had money, I'll
tell you she had money
00:39:59.69\00:40:01.30
'cause she's doing
well in the business.
00:40:01.33\00:40:03.00
So you probably
tend to spoil him
00:40:03.03\00:40:05.73
you brought in nannies
and all kinds of stuff.
00:40:05.77\00:40:09.00
He used to get what he wanted.
00:40:09.04\00:40:10.51
He was. Oh my.
00:40:10.54\00:40:12.04
But what was, I know.
00:40:12.07\00:40:14.98
But what was happening
was I was giving him things
00:40:15.01\00:40:18.68
but the most important thing
00:40:18.71\00:40:21.12
that I should have given
him was a spiritual foundation.
00:40:21.15\00:40:25.22
And my
grandmother would take Mark
00:40:25.25\00:40:27.59
to church for me on Sabbath.
00:40:27.62\00:40:29.72
She would pick him up,
00:40:29.76\00:40:31.09
she'd come all the way downtown,
00:40:31.13\00:40:32.46
I lived on the Upper East
Side, she come in New York.
00:40:32.49\00:40:34.66
She come all the
way down from Queens,
00:40:34.70\00:40:36.67
pick him up and take
him to church for me.
00:40:36.70\00:40:39.40
And so, he was getting to go
to Sabbath School and church,
00:40:39.43\00:40:42.87
but I wasn't going.
00:40:42.90\00:40:46.27
And so, Mark, over the years,
00:40:46.31\00:40:52.45
just kind of drifted away.
00:40:52.48\00:40:53.82
He was going to
church as a little boy,
00:40:53.85\00:40:55.55
but then I really wasn't living
the right example for him.
00:40:55.58\00:40:59.49
And so he grew up as a teenager
00:40:59.52\00:41:03.89
and got involved in
with the wrong people
00:41:03.93\00:41:06.83
and with drugs and
all kinds of things.
00:41:06.86\00:41:09.60
And he's given me permission
00:41:09.63\00:41:11.63
to share his
testimony so it's okay.
00:41:11.67\00:41:14.17
So, one day I got this
call from a friend from church.
00:41:14.20\00:41:18.54
And she said to me, I
hate to tell you this,
00:41:18.57\00:41:22.04
but Mark is really,
00:41:22.08\00:41:23.88
he's hanging
with the wrong people,
00:41:23.91\00:41:25.48
and he's in trouble.
00:41:25.51\00:41:27.32
And I hung up the phone,
and I just fell on my knees,
00:41:27.35\00:41:31.32
and I just cried before God,
because I knew, by that time,
00:41:31.35\00:41:35.46
I come back to the Lord.
00:41:35.49\00:41:37.53
But Mark was
still out in the world.
00:41:37.56\00:41:40.56
And so I cried before the Lord
00:41:40.60\00:41:44.60
and I just begged
Him not to let the enemy
00:41:44.63\00:41:47.44
take Mark in his sins,
00:41:47.47\00:41:48.90
because that's what
the enemy wants to do.
00:41:48.94\00:41:50.71
He wants to kill us.
00:41:50.74\00:41:52.17
And so, I begged God to please,
00:41:52.21\00:41:55.64
please don't let
him die in his sins.
00:41:55.68\00:41:58.08
And long story
short, over the years,
00:41:58.11\00:42:02.98
Mark still had
to go through a lot,
00:42:03.02\00:42:04.99
he still had to get further
and further away from God
00:42:05.02\00:42:07.89
to the point where he
embraced Luciferian philosophy.
00:42:07.92\00:42:12.73
I mean, it was, yeah,
it was just very dark.
00:42:12.76\00:42:15.56
But through it all, Danny,
I held on to that promise,
00:42:15.60\00:42:18.73
because that day
00:42:18.77\00:42:20.14
when I was boohooing before God,
00:42:20.17\00:42:22.00
he spoke to me.
00:42:22.04\00:42:23.41
And He repeated that
verse from Isaiah that says,
00:42:23.44\00:42:26.47
"I will contend with
them that contend with me,
00:42:26.51\00:42:29.48
and I will save thy children."
00:42:29.51\00:42:31.65
So I stopped crying.
00:42:31.68\00:42:33.58
I knew that He was going to save
00:42:33.62\00:42:35.02
my children at the time,
00:42:35.05\00:42:36.69
I just had Mark and then later,
00:42:36.72\00:42:39.39
Jason came along
00:42:39.42\00:42:40.76
and Jason too
went away from God.
00:42:40.79\00:42:43.99
So both of my children
were not walking with the Lord.
00:42:44.03\00:42:47.76
But the Lord had
promised me that day
00:42:47.80\00:42:50.77
that He would save my children.
00:42:50.80\00:42:52.50
So Jason went this
way, Mark went that way.
00:42:52.53\00:42:55.57
And yet, God brought them
back, He brought them back.
00:42:55.60\00:43:00.78
Mark had to hit rock bottom,
00:43:00.81\00:43:02.91
but he began to
see who God really was.
00:43:02.94\00:43:08.15
He began to read some,
00:43:08.18\00:43:09.52
he read Steps to Christ
and began to read the Bible,
00:43:09.55\00:43:12.35
began to pray.
00:43:12.39\00:43:13.72
And he began to see
who God really wasn't,
00:43:13.76\00:43:16.42
all of that twisted
thought about Lucifer
00:43:16.46\00:43:20.76
and all of that
stuff that is gone.
00:43:20.80\00:43:22.90
Praise the Lord. Now
he calls Jesus his Lord.
00:43:22.93\00:43:26.60
And I'm so thankful.
00:43:26.63\00:43:27.97
And, of course, we
know Jason is here at 3ABN,
00:43:28.00\00:43:31.81
and the Lord, so
He is El Hanne'eman.
00:43:31.84\00:43:34.68
He is the faithful God
00:43:34.71\00:43:36.28
and you know that
He's been faithful
00:43:36.31\00:43:39.18
in your life as well.
00:43:39.21\00:43:40.55
And when you think about
what He's done in your life,
00:43:40.58\00:43:43.75
you can pinpoint
times when you can just say,
00:43:43.79\00:43:48.36
God, You are so faithful.
00:43:48.39\00:43:50.23
Amen.
00:43:50.26\00:43:51.59
Beautiful story,
that's in the book, right?
00:43:51.63\00:43:53.16
It's in the book.
Dwight story's in the book.
00:43:53.19\00:43:55.00
I tell a better in
the book than I just did.
00:43:55.03\00:43:58.30
It's almost a tear jerker.
00:43:58.33\00:43:59.73
I had this in here,
00:43:59.77\00:44:01.24
because I thought I
might need to use this,
00:44:01.27\00:44:02.74
so that is just.
00:44:02.77\00:44:04.11
No, because I know
Mark, and I know Jay,
00:44:04.14\00:44:05.57
and I know where they,
00:44:05.61\00:44:06.94
where they've been
00:44:06.98\00:44:08.31
and where God has
brought them right now.
00:44:08.34\00:44:10.15
I mean, it's incredible.
00:44:10.18\00:44:12.35
And so what we have
a little bit more time,
00:44:12.38\00:44:15.68
we've got just
several more minutes.
00:44:15.72\00:44:17.39
I'd like to kind of go
through some of the chapters
00:44:17.42\00:44:19.65
and maybe just some of the names
00:44:19.69\00:44:22.36
maybe if you would just give us
00:44:22.39\00:44:23.73
some of the names of God,
00:44:23.76\00:44:25.09
maybe the verse
that goes with it.
00:44:25.13\00:44:26.83
And just briefly,
00:44:26.86\00:44:28.20
if you want to
mention the story,
00:44:28.23\00:44:29.56
a little bit of a
story, it goes with it.
00:44:29.60\00:44:30.97
We have few minutes
to do that if you want.
00:44:31.00\00:44:33.17
So the first chapter is Elohim.
00:44:33.20\00:44:35.70
And that's God and in
Elohim it means God basically.
00:44:35.74\00:44:41.04
And it's used over
2,000 times in Scripture.
00:44:41.08\00:44:46.35
But when we see
in the beginning,
00:44:46.38\00:44:48.45
God created
heaven and the earth,
00:44:48.48\00:44:50.22
in the beginning Elohim
created heaven and the earth.
00:44:50.25\00:44:53.49
And Elohim is interesting
because it's a plural word,
00:44:53.52\00:44:59.19
but it's followed
by a singular verb.
00:44:59.23\00:45:02.26
So it reflects the Trinity.
00:45:02.30\00:45:04.73
Said, Let us make...
00:45:04.77\00:45:06.10
Let Us make man. Exactly.
00:45:06.13\00:45:09.84
So that's Elohim and then Goel.
00:45:09.87\00:45:12.21
Oh, and the story with Elohim
00:45:12.24\00:45:14.64
is, well, let me just say this.
00:45:14.68\00:45:17.58
So we know that
God is the Creator.
00:45:17.61\00:45:21.85
But we also know
that He recreates us
00:45:21.88\00:45:25.92
to conform to
the image of His Son.
00:45:25.95\00:45:28.59
So this, the story
that is associated with this
00:45:28.62\00:45:33.19
is the story of Chris
Hudson, and Chris Hudson was,
00:45:33.23\00:45:37.97
is the forerunner of
Forerunner Chronicles.
00:45:38.00\00:45:40.47
And, oh, his
story is so powerful,
00:45:40.50\00:45:44.41
it is just so powerful.
00:45:44.44\00:45:46.91
And then, let's see,
00:45:46.94\00:45:49.21
and he was an
entertainment writer.
00:45:49.24\00:45:51.91
And he invoked the dark side
00:45:51.95\00:45:56.52
to help him to write some things
00:45:56.55\00:45:58.39
and it just shows
how he came to God
00:45:58.42\00:46:00.62
and all of that.
00:46:00.66\00:46:01.99
So yeah, it's rich, it's rich.
00:46:02.02\00:46:04.83
Then Goel, the
second chapter is God,
00:46:04.86\00:46:08.26
my Redeemer.
00:46:08.30\00:46:09.70
And the verse here,
00:46:09.73\00:46:12.70
Psalm 78:34-35
00:46:12.73\00:46:15.57
from the names of God Bible.
00:46:15.60\00:46:17.17
They turn from their sins
and eagerly looked for El.
00:46:17.21\00:46:20.51
They remember that
Elohim was their rock,
00:46:20.54\00:46:23.11
that El Elyon was their Goel.
00:46:23.14\00:46:26.08
So Goel means
redeemer, deliverer.
00:46:26.11\00:46:29.68
And the story in here is
about a young Muslim woman
00:46:29.72\00:46:34.82
who was depressed
00:46:34.86\00:46:38.79
and she had tried suicide
00:46:38.83\00:46:41.73
and all kinds of
things to try to self-medicate
00:46:41.76\00:46:46.30
and yet nothing
worked until she found Jesus.
00:46:46.33\00:46:50.64
And it and it talk. Amen.
00:46:50.67\00:46:52.97
It talks about that.
00:46:53.01\00:46:54.34
Then, of course,
we have El Shaddai,
00:46:54.38\00:46:55.71
which we've
already talked about.
00:46:55.74\00:46:57.75
Then there's El Tzur,
and that's God the rock.
00:46:57.78\00:47:01.72
And you know, when you
think of God's strength,
00:47:01.75\00:47:04.82
He is a rock.
00:47:04.85\00:47:06.19
He's our Rock of Ages,
00:47:06.22\00:47:07.56
He's the one that
we can hold on to,
00:47:07.59\00:47:09.22
He's mighty, He's dependable.
00:47:09.26\00:47:11.46
Deuteronomy 32:4 says, "He
is the rock, He is El Tzur.
00:47:11.49\00:47:16.06
His work is perfect for
all His ways are justice.
00:47:16.10\00:47:19.37
A God of truth
and without injustice,
00:47:19.40\00:47:22.20
righteous and upright is He."
00:47:22.24\00:47:24.11
So this is about...
00:47:24.14\00:47:26.71
The story here is
about Magna Porterfield
00:47:26.74\00:47:30.45
and Magna had so many
things happened to her,
00:47:30.48\00:47:34.45
so much loss
back to back to back.
00:47:34.48\00:47:37.82
And she held on to El
Tzur, she held on to the rock,
00:47:37.85\00:47:42.12
and it shows how
He has restored her.
00:47:42.16\00:47:45.99
So that is El Tzur,
and then there's Yeshua.
00:47:46.03\00:47:51.27
Yeshua, is
actually Jesus' real name,
00:47:51.30\00:47:55.17
His Hebrew name.
00:47:55.20\00:47:56.54
That's the name
00:47:56.57\00:47:57.91
that his mother
probably called him at home
00:47:57.94\00:48:02.04
was Yeshua.
00:48:02.08\00:48:03.41
And that's His Hebrew name.
00:48:03.45\00:48:04.78
And it means salvation,
00:48:04.81\00:48:07.42
it means actually
YHWH is salvation.
00:48:07.45\00:48:11.35
So the verse is Matthew 1:21,
00:48:11.39\00:48:15.96
"She will give birth to a son
00:48:15.99\00:48:17.39
and you will name
him, Yeshua, He saves,
00:48:17.43\00:48:20.73
because He will save
His people from their sins."
00:48:20.76\00:48:24.13
And the story
associated with that is Samuel.
00:48:24.17\00:48:26.90
And Samuel Jacobson is a...
00:48:26.94\00:48:29.97
He was also born
into a Muslim family.
00:48:30.01\00:48:33.11
He was gay.
00:48:33.14\00:48:34.58
And he was living
his life as a gay Muslim
00:48:34.61\00:48:39.88
and he moved away from Iraq,
because that was taboo there.
00:48:39.91\00:48:45.65
So he ended up
coming to America,
00:48:45.69\00:48:50.46
and was like the 24th most
successful real estate agent
00:48:50.49\00:48:54.93
in the country.
00:48:54.96\00:48:56.30
And he found Jesus
00:48:56.33\00:48:58.27
and ever since
after he found Jesus,
00:48:58.30\00:49:00.97
he, his lifestyle
changed, his appetites changed.
00:49:01.00\00:49:05.07
He became a soldier.
00:49:05.11\00:49:06.94
He's a soldier for the Almighty.
00:49:06.98\00:49:08.94
So I mean, those are
just some of the stories.
00:49:08.98\00:49:12.31
No, they're incredible.
00:49:12.35\00:49:13.68
And I was thinking,
00:49:13.72\00:49:15.05
you know, as you
were doing this people
00:49:15.08\00:49:17.09
that you get the book
now, honestly, we're saying,
00:49:17.12\00:49:20.02
whatever size
gift, you get a book,
00:49:20.06\00:49:21.69
but if you give a
decent sized gift,
00:49:21.72\00:49:23.66
I'm talking about
$50, $100 donation,
00:49:23.69\00:49:26.56
you want more than one of these,
00:49:26.59\00:49:27.93
you want several
of them to give away.
00:49:27.96\00:49:30.00
We're not going to be saying
00:49:30.03\00:49:31.37
oh, no, you need to send,
00:49:31.40\00:49:32.73
you know, a donation every time.
00:49:32.77\00:49:34.54
We had someone send $3,000
00:49:34.57\00:49:36.74
and they wanted
like 100 or something.
00:49:36.77\00:49:38.81
What do you think we said?
00:49:38.84\00:49:41.44
Absolutely.
00:49:41.48\00:49:43.68
Somebody sends $1,000
today like 50 of these
00:49:43.71\00:49:46.31
or whatever
00:49:46.35\00:49:47.92
because you want
to give them away
00:49:47.95\00:49:49.28
especially the end of the year
00:49:49.32\00:49:50.65
and the
beginning of the new year
00:49:50.69\00:49:52.02
to start the new year.
00:49:52.05\00:49:53.39
Bible study groups,
00:49:53.42\00:49:54.76
Christmas gifts
for your neighbors.
00:49:54.79\00:49:56.93
And as we read them,
names will come to you,
00:49:56.96\00:50:01.10
people that you
know, family and friends,
00:50:01.13\00:50:03.47
and you say, you know what?
00:50:03.50\00:50:04.83
That's exactly what I feel.
00:50:04.87\00:50:06.80
And the Lord will impress you,
00:50:06.84\00:50:08.17
I need to get this
book to this person,
00:50:08.20\00:50:09.74
because this is
the God right now
00:50:09.77\00:50:12.24
that I can see is
working in their lives.
00:50:12.27\00:50:14.58
And so to do this, I
think it's an incredible,
00:50:14.61\00:50:18.25
you know, gift.
00:50:18.28\00:50:19.61
So I'm going to
encourage those of you.
00:50:19.65\00:50:20.98
So any donation or
donation of any size,
00:50:21.02\00:50:23.79
we'll send you one.
00:50:23.82\00:50:25.15
As I said, if you
send a decent amount,
00:50:25.19\00:50:27.26
we're going to
discuss what it is.
00:50:27.29\00:50:29.16
You decide
00:50:29.19\00:50:30.53
what's a decent
size donations $20, $50.
00:50:30.56\00:50:33.46
As I said,
somebody already sent $3,000
00:50:33.50\00:50:35.93
but, and you want
several more of these,
00:50:35.96\00:50:38.10
we're going to do it.
00:50:38.13\00:50:39.47
And I want to
from behalf of 3ABN.
00:50:39.50\00:50:41.70
Thank you, Yvonne,
because she donated,
00:50:41.74\00:50:45.54
has donated hundreds
and hundreds of these.
00:50:45.57\00:50:48.08
And so these are
not, you paid for them.
00:50:48.11\00:50:51.11
You did all this,
00:50:51.15\00:50:52.48
but yet you
donated them for 3ABN
00:50:52.51\00:50:54.12
because you said,
00:50:54.15\00:50:55.48
wow, especially
end of year giving
00:50:55.52\00:50:56.85
and all I want to be
able to do my part to support.
00:50:56.89\00:50:59.25
So thank you so
much for the donation.
00:50:59.29\00:51:01.46
We have Greg, Jill
and all the rest of us
00:51:01.49\00:51:04.63
that we're able to do this.
00:51:04.66\00:51:05.99
And I think when
people get this book,
00:51:06.03\00:51:08.00
it's not only
life changing for you,
00:51:08.03\00:51:09.83
but for others.
00:51:09.86\00:51:11.20
And again, Bible studies,
you may want to have, you know,
00:51:11.23\00:51:14.60
use these and
get together groups
00:51:14.64\00:51:16.34
and study the Bible.
00:51:16.37\00:51:17.71
But it's really
a tremendous book.
00:51:17.74\00:51:20.14
And I say that, if I
didn't know who you were,
00:51:20.18\00:51:24.15
and no doubt about it.
00:51:24.18\00:51:25.51
I'm tremendously impressed
00:51:25.55\00:51:27.52
at how I would
have never thought had,
00:51:27.55\00:51:29.75
let's say, I didn't know you
and you brought me this book,
00:51:29.78\00:51:32.19
I'd say, "Well,
that's a great book."
00:51:32.22\00:51:33.82
I would have no idea
00:51:33.86\00:51:35.42
of the hundreds
and hundreds of hours
00:51:35.46\00:51:37.79
that it took to
put this book together,
00:51:37.83\00:51:40.40
and to do it in such
a way that's anointed.
00:51:40.43\00:51:42.76
It's a Holy Spirit
00:51:42.80\00:51:44.13
when the stories are incredible.
00:51:44.17\00:51:45.67
But again, to
put to the context,
00:51:45.70\00:51:47.90
and from the
beginning of the names
00:51:47.94\00:51:49.67
and you know how it's used
00:51:49.70\00:51:51.24
and put it in scriptural context
00:51:51.27\00:51:53.31
and the stories and the prayers.
00:51:53.34\00:51:55.38
You know, all of that
is just really amazing.
00:51:55.41\00:51:57.85
And you've done
an incredible job,
00:51:57.88\00:51:59.65
I give God the credit,
00:51:59.68\00:52:01.08
we uplift Him
00:52:01.12\00:52:02.45
and we're not
uplifting Yvonne today,
00:52:02.48\00:52:03.89
we're uplifting
that Jesus sent her.
00:52:03.92\00:52:06.09
But we want to again
encourage you at home,
00:52:06.12\00:52:08.96
all you have to
do is write to 3ABN,
00:52:08.99\00:52:11.29
email us, PayPal,
whatever you normally do,
00:52:11.33\00:52:14.06
call us and say I
want to make a donation.
00:52:14.10\00:52:16.16
And when you do,
00:52:16.20\00:52:17.53
we're going to
send you one of these
00:52:17.57\00:52:18.90
or if you send enough
and you want a few more,
00:52:18.93\00:52:21.30
we'll be happy to
send those to you also.
00:52:21.34\00:52:23.54
Now I cannot believe
this hour is almost gone.
00:52:23.57\00:52:26.61
So we're going to
take just a short break.
00:52:26.64\00:52:28.41
We're going to go to news break,
00:52:28.44\00:52:29.78
and we're going to come back
00:52:29.81\00:52:31.15
for a closing
thought from you, okay?
00:52:31.18\00:52:33.25
Sounds good.
00:52:33.28\00:52:34.62
