00:01:08.36\00:01:12.87
We invite you-- no,
no, we encourage you
00:01:12.90\00:01:17.11
to get your
family that's the spouse,
00:01:17.14\00:01:20.21

daughters and especially tonight
00:01:20.24\00:01:23.81
the little children
00:01:23.85\00:01:25.18
because we have a
special guest with us.
00:01:25.21\00:01:28.25
And join us for family worship
as we introduce the Sabbath.
00:01:28.28\00:01:34.32
I want to take just a
moment and share with you
00:01:34.36\00:01:36.46
something about the Sabbath
00:01:36.49\00:01:37.83
that when Mollie and I came
in to the truth of the Sabbath,
00:01:37.86\00:01:40.80
we did not know
how to keep the Sabbath
00:01:40.83\00:01:43.40
and we've
learnt through process.
00:01:43.43\00:01:45.63
We've been Sunday keepers--
00:01:45.67\00:01:47.57
Yeah.
00:01:47.60\00:01:48.94
For what, 50
something years, a long time.
00:01:48.97\00:01:51.17
Hundred and fifty.
00:01:51.21\00:01:52.54
No, not quite 150
but for a long time.
00:01:52.57\00:01:55.51
So this was all
new to us. Right.
00:01:55.54\00:01:57.25
We had to learn how
to keep the Sabbath.
00:01:57.28\00:01:59.55
It was processed in procedure
00:01:59.58\00:02:01.62
but something that
really pierced my heart
00:02:01.65\00:02:04.75
and made me realize the
truth of the Sabbath was--
00:02:04.79\00:02:09.72
I ran into an old friend of mine
00:02:09.76\00:02:13.36
and he was
talking to me and he said,
00:02:13.40\00:02:18.33
"how things going with you?"
00:02:18.37\00:02:20.24
And I said, "Well,
they are going pretty good.
00:02:20.27\00:02:21.60
How about you?"
He said, "Great."
00:02:21.64\00:02:23.04
He said, "We've just
started a new church,
00:02:23.07\00:02:25.34
a new work in Carbondale
00:02:25.37\00:02:27.31
and I want to
invite you to come."
00:02:27.34\00:02:28.68
So I said, "What day is it on?"
00:02:28.71\00:02:32.08
He said, "Well,
it's Sunday of course."
00:02:32.11\00:02:33.72
And I told him then...
00:02:33.75\00:02:36.05
that I could
not attend on Sunday
00:02:36.08\00:02:38.15
because I was a Sabbath keeper.
00:02:38.19\00:02:40.36
And then I witnessed
him about the Sabbath,
00:02:40.39\00:02:43.02
that's just a
natural thing to do.
00:02:43.06\00:02:45.89
He nodded, okay,
like you are weird
00:02:45.93\00:02:48.53
but whatever, but
anyway then we parted our ways
00:02:48.56\00:02:52.20
and as I was going home.
00:02:52.23\00:02:54.57
Now get this, as
I was going home,
00:02:54.60\00:02:56.74
the Holy Spirit
pierced my heart and told me,
00:02:56.77\00:03:01.34
"You are not a Sabbath keeper.
You go to church on Sabbath."
00:03:01.38\00:03:06.58
And I thought, wow.
00:03:06.61\00:03:08.95
Now the reason
why I thought, wow,
00:03:08.98\00:03:11.72
was because I ran
into my old friend
00:03:11.75\00:03:14.82
at the carwash
on Sabbath afternoon
00:03:14.86\00:03:16.96
while I was washing my car.
00:03:16.99\00:03:20.06
And I began to
really take a look at it
00:03:20.10\00:03:21.90
and I realized that
Sabbath doesn't begin
00:03:21.93\00:03:24.27
when you get to Sabbath school
00:03:24.30\00:03:26.23
and when you leave
after pot blessed lunch.
00:03:26.27\00:03:29.14
The Sabbath begins right
now on a sundown on Friday night
00:03:29.17\00:03:33.81
and goes till
sundown on the Sabbath.
00:03:33.84\00:03:38.18
And so what we want
you to do right now,
00:03:38.21\00:03:41.02
stop everything
that you are doing.
00:03:41.05\00:03:43.18
Get your people
in there, sit down
00:03:43.22\00:03:45.19
and just rest in inner
end to a glorious Sabbath.
00:03:45.22\00:03:49.02
Amen. Amen.
00:03:49.06\00:03:50.39
God says, I'm gonna--
00:03:50.43\00:03:51.76
The Lord says, "I'm gonna enter
His gates with thanksgiving,
00:03:51.79\00:03:53.63
and into His
courts with praise."
00:03:53.66\00:03:58.07
So praise God. Amen.
00:03:58.10\00:03:59.43
You know, how we have
invited some of our dear friends
00:03:59.47\00:04:03.94
to come and be a part
00:04:03.97\00:04:05.34
of our Sabbath
worship this evening.
00:04:05.37\00:04:08.01
We invite every one of you.
00:04:08.04\00:04:09.81
We are so thankful
that you are here with us.
00:04:09.84\00:04:12.11
We encourage you
to lay aside this time
00:04:12.15\00:04:15.42
that God has
given us to worship Him,
00:04:15.45\00:04:19.29
to lay aside the
cares of the world
00:04:19.32\00:04:21.59
and just
concentrate and think about Him.
00:04:21.62\00:04:24.69
And I would like to
introduce our guest to you.
00:04:24.73\00:04:27.23
Now, these are our friends,
our guests around our table.
00:04:27.26\00:04:31.07
First we have
Robert and Nadya Stotz
00:04:31.10\00:04:34.27
and their
beautiful little lady Sofiya.
00:04:34.30\00:04:37.24
Sofiya, it's good to
have you here as well.
00:04:37.27\00:04:40.91
Sofiya is on
Tiny Tots quite often
00:04:40.94\00:04:43.31
and so she is
very, very comfortable
00:04:43.35\00:04:45.71
in front of the camera
00:04:45.75\00:04:47.08
and she knows what it
is to be on television.
00:04:47.12\00:04:49.62
So, Sofiya, we know
that you are going to join us
00:04:49.65\00:04:52.59
and help us with worship.
00:04:52.62\00:04:53.96
Robert, it's
good to have you here.
00:04:53.99\00:04:55.32
Oh, it's good to be here.
00:04:55.36\00:04:56.69
This is of course my wife
Nadya and Sofiya down here.
00:04:56.73\00:05:00.26
And, you know,
our family worship we,
00:05:00.30\00:05:04.10
we love every day to
teach Sofiya about Jesus
00:05:04.13\00:05:07.37
and at the night time,
Sofiya, what do we do at night,
00:05:07.40\00:05:11.64
can you-- do you know?
00:05:11.67\00:05:13.21
Well, what we do is we
love to read the storybooks,
00:05:13.24\00:05:16.31
the Bible stories about Jesus,
00:05:16.34\00:05:17.88
kind of get her
to know Jesus better
00:05:17.91\00:05:19.28
because we want her to
know Jesus as her friend,
00:05:19.31\00:05:22.75
not just someone who is,
00:05:22.78\00:05:24.75
you know, oh, don't
do this, don't do that.
00:05:24.79\00:05:26.22
We want her,
Jesus to be her friend.
00:05:26.25\00:05:27.99
Amen.
00:05:28.02\00:05:29.36
And what I love is, you know,
00:05:29.39\00:05:30.73
my wife here is very, very good.
00:05:30.76\00:05:33.06
You know, Sofiya is
with her during the day
00:05:33.09\00:05:34.93
and she always
tells her of Jesus' love.
00:05:34.96\00:05:37.50
And I'm always happy at night,
00:05:37.53\00:05:39.63
before she goes
to bed many times
00:05:39.67\00:05:41.00
she just starts
singing songs to sleep,
00:05:41.04\00:05:43.00
you know, about Jesus.
00:05:43.04\00:05:45.67
I always say, with
Jesus in the family,
00:05:45.71\00:05:47.68
it's a happy, happy home.
00:05:47.71\00:05:49.21
Yes, it is.
00:05:49.24\00:05:50.58
Well, may be,
may be in little bit
00:05:50.61\00:05:51.95
we can get her to share a
Bible story with us if she--
00:05:51.98\00:05:54.65
Sofiya, would you like
to do? We would love that.
00:05:54.68\00:05:56.22
Sofiya, we would love that.
Yes. We will see what happens.
00:05:56.25\00:05:57.82
See what happens, yeah.

00:08:07.55\00:08:09.22
When we walk with the Lord
00:08:13.39\00:08:17.13
In the light of his Word
00:08:17.16\00:08:20.90
What a glory He sheds on our way
00:08:20.93\00:08:27.07
While we do His good will
00:08:27.10\00:08:30.64
He abides with us still
00:08:30.67\00:08:34.38
And with all who
will trust and obey
00:08:34.41\00:08:40.42
Trust and obey
00:08:40.45\00:08:43.59
For there's no other way
00:08:43.62\00:08:47.39
To be happy in Jesus
00:08:47.42\00:08:51.99
But to trust and obey
00:08:52.03\00:08:56.63
Not a burden we bear
00:08:56.67\00:09:00.57
Not a sorrow we share
00:09:00.60\00:09:04.27
But our toil He
doth richly repay
00:09:04.31\00:09:10.25
Not a grief nor a loss
00:09:10.28\00:09:13.98
Not a frown or a cross
00:09:14.02\00:09:17.75
But is blessed
if we trust and obey
00:09:17.79\00:09:23.83
Trust and obey
00:09:23.86\00:09:27.63
For there's no other way
00:09:27.66\00:09:30.80
To be happy in Jesus
00:09:30.83\00:09:35.47
But to trust and obey
00:09:35.50\00:09:40.51
Then in fellowship sweet
00:09:40.54\00:09:44.25
We will sit at His feet
00:09:44.28\00:09:47.98
Or we'll walk by
His side in the way
00:09:48.02\00:09:54.09
What He says we will do
00:09:54.12\00:09:57.69
Where He sends we will go
00:09:57.73\00:10:01.56
Never fear, only trust and obey
00:10:01.60\00:10:07.70
Trust and obey
00:10:07.74\00:10:10.97
For there's no other way
00:10:11.01\00:10:14.78
To be happy in Jesus
00:10:14.81\00:10:19.48
But to trust and obey
00:10:19.51\00:10:24.92
Amen. That sounded beautiful.
00:10:24.95\00:10:26.29
"Trust and
Obey," beautiful song.
00:10:26.32\00:10:27.66
I heard Sofiya
singing. Touches our hearts.
00:10:27.69\00:10:30.23
Indeed. Yes, she was singing.
00:10:30.26\00:10:31.86
I heard that was one
of the Sofiya's favorites.
00:10:31.89\00:10:34.73
You liked that
song, don't you? Yes, sir.
00:10:34.76\00:10:38.00
Next we are gonna
be singing Number 457,
00:10:38.03\00:10:41.54
and this one is called
"I Love to Tell the Story."
00:10:41.57\00:10:45.27
I love to tell the story
00:10:53.15\00:10:57.85
Of unseen things above
00:10:57.89\00:11:02.69
Of Jesus and His glory
00:11:02.72\00:11:07.53
Of Jesus and His love
00:11:07.56\00:11:12.50
I love to tell the story
00:11:12.53\00:11:17.47
Because I know 'tis true
00:11:17.51\00:11:22.54
It satisfies my longings
00:11:22.58\00:11:27.48
As nothing else can do
00:11:27.52\00:11:32.45
I love to tell the story
00:11:32.49\00:11:37.53
'Twill be my theme in glory
00:11:37.56\00:11:42.70
To tell the old, old story
00:11:42.73\00:11:47.70
Of Jesus and His love
00:11:47.74\00:11:53.38
I love to tell the story
00:11:53.41\00:11:58.51
More wonderful it seems
00:11:58.55\00:12:03.49
Than all the golden fancies
00:12:03.52\00:12:08.42
Of all our golden dreams
00:12:08.46\00:12:13.36
I love to tell the story
00:12:13.40\00:12:18.47
It did so much for me
00:12:18.50\00:12:23.34
And that is just the reason
00:12:23.37\00:12:28.34
I tell it now to thee
00:12:28.38\00:12:32.21
Praise God.
00:12:32.25\00:12:33.58
I love to tell the story
00:12:33.62\00:12:38.42
'Twill be my theme in glory
00:12:38.45\00:12:43.46
To tell the old, old story
00:12:43.49\00:12:48.56
Of Jesus and His love
00:12:48.60\00:12:53.94
I love to tell the story
00:12:53.97\00:12:59.07
'Tis pleasant to repeat
00:12:59.11\00:13:04.08
What seems, each time I tell it
00:13:04.11\00:13:09.05
More wonderfully sweet
00:13:09.08\00:13:14.09
I love to tell the story
00:13:14.12\00:13:19.13
For some have never heard
00:13:19.16\00:13:24.20
The message of salvation
00:13:24.23\00:13:29.14
From God's own holy Word
00:13:29.17\00:13:34.31
I love to tell the story
00:13:34.34\00:13:39.31
'Twill be my theme in glory
00:13:39.35\00:13:44.45
To tell the old, old story
00:13:44.49\00:13:49.32
Of Jesus and His love
00:13:49.36\00:13:54.90
I love to tell the story
00:13:54.93\00:14:00.04
For those who know it best
00:14:00.07\00:14:05.01
Seem hungering and thirsting
00:14:05.04\00:14:10.05
To hear it like the rest
00:14:10.08\00:14:15.05
And when, in scenes of glory
00:14:15.08\00:14:20.06
I sing the new, new song
00:14:20.09\00:14:25.06
'Twill be the old, old story
00:14:25.09\00:14:30.27
That I have loved so long
00:14:30.30\00:14:35.34
I love to tell the story
00:14:35.37\00:14:40.38
'Twill be my theme in glory
00:14:40.41\00:14:45.45
To tell the old, old story
00:14:45.48\00:14:50.89
Of Jesus and His love
00:14:50.92\00:14:57.79
Oh, amen. I just love
to tell that story too.
00:14:57.83\00:15:01.10
Let's do it over and
over and over again for sure.
00:15:01.13\00:15:03.37
You know, some of these songs,
00:15:03.40\00:15:04.87
doesn't matter
how long we sing them,
00:15:04.90\00:15:06.40
they are only always
gonna be wonderful to our heart,
00:15:06.43\00:15:09.14
touch our hearts and
draw us closer to Jesus.
00:15:09.17\00:15:11.17
Amen to that.
00:15:11.21\00:15:12.54
I love these, what we
refer to as old songs.
00:15:12.57\00:15:14.28
I had a lady came to me
one time back years ago,
00:15:14.31\00:15:16.54
I was telling Nadya earlier.
00:15:16.58\00:15:18.48
I didn't know, I
don't know a lot of hymns,
00:15:18.51\00:15:20.18
because in our church,
00:15:20.22\00:15:21.68
we sang off the wall
is what they referred to.
00:15:21.72\00:15:24.05
We did a lot of chores,
00:15:24.09\00:15:25.62
but I had a lady came
in to me and said, "Pastor,
00:15:25.65\00:15:27.76
why don't you sing
some of the old songs?"
00:15:27.79\00:15:29.99
And I said, "Well, we just sang
00:15:30.03\00:15:31.36
one out the Psalms
is 3,500 years old."
00:15:31.39\00:15:34.53
Oh, wow.
00:15:34.56\00:15:35.90
I said, "I would
call those old too."
00:15:35.93\00:15:37.63
I said, "We just
sang a song of Moses
00:15:37.67\00:15:39.57
and it was about
3,800 years old."
00:15:39.60\00:15:42.40
So that's old song
but there is nothing,
00:15:42.44\00:15:44.54
there is nothing
that beats the old hymns.
00:15:44.57\00:15:47.41
They are true. That's true.
00:15:47.44\00:15:50.08
Oh man, I love
"Power in the Blood."
00:15:50.11\00:15:51.61
Yeah. That's a good one.
00:15:51.65\00:15:52.98
And we did a camp meeting
here while back on victory
00:15:53.01\00:15:55.62
and I suggested
singing "Victory In Jesus"
00:15:55.65\00:15:58.12
and we were shocked
that it wasn't in our hymnal
00:15:58.15\00:16:00.56
but we sang it
00:16:00.59\00:16:01.92
and we sang the "Real Father"
with it too for sure, for fact.
00:16:01.96\00:16:05.63
But we have a special guests,
00:16:05.66\00:16:08.13
special, special, special
guest with us here today,
00:16:08.16\00:16:12.23
it's Jesus Christ
00:16:12.27\00:16:13.60
but we have
someone that is special,
00:16:13.64\00:16:14.97
special, special, special
too, that is Sofiya Stotz.
00:16:15.00\00:16:21.08
Hi, Sofiya.
00:16:21.11\00:16:23.21
And we want to
take just a minute
00:16:23.24\00:16:24.95
and let Nadya introduce her,
00:16:24.98\00:16:27.88
but not just we
have mentioned her name
00:16:27.92\00:16:30.45
but to tell something about her.
00:16:30.49\00:16:32.29
But she also has her
family, grandma, grandpa,
00:16:32.32\00:16:36.99
aunt, uncle, cousins
that are watching in Russia.
00:16:37.03\00:16:43.53
And Ukraine. And Ukraine.
00:16:43.57\00:16:45.03
Oh, I didn't know
that. Russia and Ukraine.
00:16:45.07\00:16:47.27
What part of Russia?
00:16:47.30\00:16:49.00
Southern part, by the Black Sea.
00:16:49.04\00:16:51.07
Okay. Beautiful area.
00:16:51.11\00:16:52.44
Oh, I bet, yeah.
And Ukraine, where?
00:16:52.47\00:16:57.48
I don't know where it
was. Southeast kind of.
00:16:57.51\00:16:59.95
I've been to Kiev, Ukraine.
Yeah, far from the Kiev.
00:16:59.98\00:17:02.65
We did some meetings
here with John Carter.
00:17:02.68\00:17:04.72
Oh, he's powerful, powerful.
00:17:04.75\00:17:06.76
But I would like,
I would like, Nadya,
00:17:06.79\00:17:08.52
if you don't mind, I'd
like for you to take a minute
00:17:08.56\00:17:10.66
and just share something
about your beautiful daughter
00:17:10.69\00:17:16.33
and first in
English just a little
00:17:16.36\00:17:19.10
but then we want
to take the time,
00:17:19.13\00:17:21.34
so bear with us, we
want to take the time
00:17:21.37\00:17:23.97
to where Nadya
can greet her family
00:17:24.01\00:17:27.91
and present Sofiya to her family
00:17:27.94\00:17:30.91
in the Soviet Union in Russia.
00:17:30.95\00:17:33.82
And she's gonna
do it in Russian.
00:17:33.85\00:17:35.38
I mean, I talked to C.A.
and C.A. said, that's awesome.
00:17:35.42\00:17:37.62
Because we've got a lot of
Russian viewers and they don't,
00:17:37.65\00:17:42.09
you know, a lot of them
don't know English that well
00:17:42.12\00:17:44.89
and they would love that, so--
00:17:44.93\00:17:46.63
Okay. It's yours.
00:17:46.66\00:17:49.23
Well, this is
our daughter Sofiya.
00:17:49.26\00:17:51.00
She is almost four-years-old.
00:17:51.03\00:17:54.50
Good daughter, yes. Yeah.
00:17:54.54\00:17:56.27
She is one of like us.
00:17:56.30\00:17:57.64
Try to behave,
try to be a good girl.
00:17:57.67\00:18:01.68
Likes to sing and
taken violin lessons.
00:18:01.71\00:18:04.85
So she is
learning to play violin.
00:18:04.88\00:18:07.02
Wow. I love violin.
00:18:07.05\00:18:08.38
She will play in the
church soon hopefully.
00:18:08.42\00:18:09.78
Yeah, she would
like to sing for church.
00:18:09.82\00:18:11.72
Oh, you like to play the violin?
00:18:11.75\00:18:13.76
Oh, beautiful. Yes.
00:18:13.79\00:18:15.96
Okay. All right.
00:18:15.99\00:18:18.06
Now--
00:18:18.09\00:18:19.43
You want me to say
something in Russian?
00:18:19.46\00:18:20.80
No more than something.
00:18:20.83\00:18:22.16
I want you to
talk to your family
00:18:22.20\00:18:24.13
and show off
that beautiful baby.
00:18:24.17\00:18:27.10
Well--
00:18:27.14\00:18:28.47
Okay, thank you so
much. Oh, you are welcome.
00:18:41.22\00:18:43.45
I see that, that
touched your heart
00:18:43.49\00:18:45.49
and I know that,
you don't get to go home
00:18:45.52\00:18:48.36
as often as you would like to.
00:18:48.39\00:18:50.26
So this opportunity
to speak to your family--
00:18:50.29\00:18:52.96
Yeah.
00:18:52.99\00:18:54.33
And I know that's
touching your heart
00:18:54.36\00:18:56.53
and introducing your daughter.
00:18:56.56\00:18:58.00
Robert, I know that
you have had an opportunity
00:18:58.03\00:19:03.74
to nurture this woman
here in the United States
00:19:03.77\00:19:07.31
and to be a blessing to her.
00:19:07.34\00:19:08.98
I want to say
she is nurturing me.
00:19:09.01\00:19:11.28
I mean, her father was a pastor
00:19:11.31\00:19:13.52
and I hear this many
times, it's a very nice thing
00:19:13.55\00:19:17.55
because he would always
invite people over Sabbath
00:19:17.59\00:19:19.95
or whenever to feed them
00:19:19.99\00:19:21.82
and spread the message about God
00:19:21.86\00:19:23.19
because he was in
Ukraine and Russia
00:19:23.22\00:19:25.73
they were persecuted.
00:19:25.76\00:19:27.20
She went through a
lot of persecution for it
00:19:27.23\00:19:28.70
by teacher that who
would hit her, saying,
00:19:28.73\00:19:30.50
"Why don't you come to school?"
00:19:30.53\00:19:32.60
But she went through
all the persecution and,
00:19:32.63\00:19:35.20
but she would
always wants people,
00:19:35.24\00:19:37.61
you know, to share.
00:19:37.64\00:19:38.97
And my mom she's
from Serbia and she also,
00:19:39.01\00:19:42.31
I remember here in America,
00:19:42.34\00:19:43.75
she came to America
when she was really young.
00:19:43.78\00:19:46.68
They would all--
she would always,
00:19:46.72\00:19:48.32
well, in my family they would
always invite people over to
00:19:48.35\00:19:51.19
and because of that,
I will tell without her
00:19:51.22\00:19:53.36
I probably wouldn't be
inviting people over because I--
00:19:53.39\00:19:57.16
she brings up
Jesus in me many times.
00:19:57.19\00:19:59.36
She is always
thinking of other people.
00:19:59.39\00:20:00.90
She is always bringing
up, I'd say, the best in me.
00:20:00.93\00:20:04.17
Well, I like
people, we invite them.
00:20:04.20\00:20:05.73
We like people, yeah.
00:20:05.77\00:20:07.10
To invite people to our house
00:20:07.14\00:20:08.47
and thank you for
inviting to us to your house.
00:20:08.50\00:20:09.97
Yeah. You are
welcome. It's a good gift.
00:20:10.01\00:20:11.37
And I understand and I know
that you are an excellent cook
00:20:11.41\00:20:14.68
and so when
people comes to home--
00:20:14.71\00:20:16.04
Still learning.
00:20:16.08\00:20:17.41
Okay, before Nadya,
00:20:17.45\00:20:19.38
my meal if cooked
would be rice and beans.
00:20:19.41\00:20:23.92
So it is a big step up.
00:20:23.95\00:20:26.05
I mean, I've learned
how to bake a potato now.
00:20:26.09\00:20:27.99
Wow. And mashed potatoes.
00:20:28.02\00:20:30.19
Mashed potato, boil it.
00:20:30.23\00:20:32.23
Well, there is no doubt
about Mollie being a good cook
00:20:36.10\00:20:38.73
but you can look at me
and tell she's a good cook.
00:20:38.77\00:20:42.90
She's a southern
belle and a southern cook
00:20:42.94\00:20:46.94
and praise God for that, so.
00:20:46.98\00:20:50.48
Mollie, why don't you
get the scripture ready
00:20:50.51\00:20:52.15
and maybe we can cover...
00:20:52.18\00:20:56.82
Sofiya into maybe
sharing a Bible story with us
00:20:56.85\00:20:59.82
while we are getting ready here.
00:20:59.85\00:21:01.72
See if she is bonding to.
00:21:01.76\00:21:03.32
Oh, Bible
story, good book. Okay.
00:21:03.36\00:21:06.63
Well, I will open
them with the scriptures
00:21:06.66\00:21:08.93
while Sofiya is getting
ready with her Bible story.
00:21:08.96\00:21:12.63
We are going to be in
Matthew the 28 chapter,
00:21:12.67\00:21:15.57
I'm going to start in verse 16.
00:21:15.60\00:21:18.67
The scripture says
and how, in my Bible,
00:21:18.71\00:21:22.18
how this is prefaced
00:21:22.21\00:21:23.55
and I bet it's prefaced
that way in your Bible as well.
00:21:23.58\00:21:26.31
It's called the
what, the Great Commission.
00:21:26.35\00:21:29.52
It says "Then
the eleven disciples
00:21:29.55\00:21:31.69
went away into
Galilee, to the mountain
00:21:31.72\00:21:34.29
which Jesus had
appointed for them.
00:21:34.32\00:21:37.09
When they saw Him,
they worshiped Him,
00:21:37.13\00:21:39.86
but some" did what?
00:21:39.89\00:21:41.23
What's that word? Doubted.
00:21:41.26\00:21:42.60
Doubted. "Some doubted."
00:21:42.63\00:21:43.97
So I want to show you
00:21:44.00\00:21:45.33
how Jesus
addressed that doubting.
00:21:45.37\00:21:46.80
How many of you have
doubt in your hearts sometimes?
00:21:46.84\00:21:48.50
Yes. That's what
we shouldn't have.
00:21:48.54\00:21:50.54
We should not
have that doubting.
00:21:50.57\00:21:52.67
"And Jesus came
and spoke to them,
00:21:52.71\00:21:55.24
saying 'All authority.'"
00:21:55.28\00:21:57.18
Another
translation says, "All power."
00:21:57.21\00:22:00.15
"Has been given to Me
in heaven and on earth."
00:22:00.18\00:22:02.45
So who's got all the
power and all authority?
00:22:02.48\00:22:05.62
Jesus.
00:22:05.65\00:22:06.99
Jesus has all
power and all authority.
00:22:07.02\00:22:08.69
And then He turns
right to those eleven.
00:22:08.72\00:22:11.73
Now remember, some
of them were doubting
00:22:11.76\00:22:13.63
and this is what He says.
00:22:13.66\00:22:15.10
He says, "Go therefore..."
00:22:15.13\00:22:17.47
You know what He is saying?
00:22:17.50\00:22:18.83
I've got all the
power and authority,
00:22:18.87\00:22:20.34
now I'm vesting it in you.
00:22:20.37\00:22:22.30
He vested it in those
11 but I want you to know
00:22:22.34\00:22:25.64
He is vesting it in
everyone of us today.
00:22:25.67\00:22:28.74
"Go ye therefore,
00:22:28.78\00:22:30.18
and make disciples
of all the nations,
00:22:30.21\00:22:32.28
baptizing them in
the name of the Father
00:22:32.31\00:22:34.95
and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit,
00:22:34.98\00:22:37.15
teaching them to
observe all things
00:22:37.19\00:22:39.35
that I have commanded you."
00:22:39.39\00:22:40.82
He tells them I've given
you the power and the authority,
00:22:40.86\00:22:43.73
now I'm telling
you what to teach them.
00:22:43.76\00:22:46.13
"All those things
which I commanded you--"
00:22:46.16\00:22:48.70
And then to me, this
is the most precious.
00:22:48.73\00:22:51.63
"And lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the age."
00:22:51.67\00:22:55.27
We don't even have
to do it by ourselves.
00:22:55.30\00:22:57.51
Who's with us
every time we step out?
00:22:57.54\00:22:59.74
So I know that
some of the things
00:22:59.77\00:23:01.44
that some of you
do on the Sabbath
00:23:01.48\00:23:03.08
is to go out witnessing
00:23:03.11\00:23:04.58
and I know that's
one of the hardest things
00:23:04.61\00:23:06.35
for me to do because I
tend to be a little shy.
00:23:06.38\00:23:09.58
You know, and I
think that's fear,
00:23:09.62\00:23:11.65
afraid of rejection.
00:23:11.69\00:23:13.46
But we don't have to
be afraid of rejection.
00:23:13.49\00:23:16.16
He says here "I'm giving
you all power, all authority.
00:23:16.19\00:23:18.73
I'm telling you what
to say to people and how,
00:23:18.76\00:23:21.26
He's there with us."
00:23:21.30\00:23:22.63
Yes, oh. He is there with us.
00:23:22.66\00:23:24.00
Doesn't leave us on our own.
00:23:24.03\00:23:25.37
I think the
devil knows our fears.
00:23:25.40\00:23:26.74
He knows one the biggest fear
00:23:26.77\00:23:28.10
is the fear of other
people and talking to them.
00:23:28.14\00:23:31.44
Not even about Jesus,
about anything, we have a fear.
00:23:31.47\00:23:34.44
I mean, if you
look at the world today,
00:23:34.48\00:23:35.81
we all have our own phones,
00:23:35.84\00:23:37.18
we are all just
within ourselves.
00:23:37.21\00:23:38.68
Yeah.
00:23:38.71\00:23:40.05
And the devil knows that and so
00:23:40.08\00:23:41.42
God is trying to give
us the encouragement here.
00:23:41.45\00:23:43.79
Go out, all power is given.
00:23:43.82\00:23:45.15
I think too it's
a lot more easier
00:23:45.19\00:23:46.52
when we make it to be,
we try to over think things
00:23:46.55\00:23:48.69
and we get to where we
talk ourselves out of it
00:23:48.72\00:23:50.63
because "Well, Lord, you
know, I don't know what to say,
00:23:50.66\00:23:52.43
I don't know what to do."
00:23:52.46\00:23:53.80
That's much more
easier than we think.
00:23:53.83\00:23:55.16
I mean, just
looking at somebody,
00:23:55.20\00:23:56.53
and may be
something on that person,
00:23:56.56\00:23:57.90
you know, I can see their hat.
00:23:57.93\00:23:59.27
Just speak to
them it's really simple
00:23:59.30\00:24:00.64
and just Lord will open a doors.
00:24:00.67\00:24:02.00
You step out just
a little bit in faith
00:24:02.04\00:24:03.71
and just that moment,
00:24:03.74\00:24:05.07
Lord will give
you that encouragement
00:24:05.11\00:24:06.44
to witness that person.
00:24:06.47\00:24:07.81
I've seen it many times.
00:24:07.84\00:24:09.18
You know, I-- go ahead.
00:24:09.21\00:24:10.55
No, you go ahead.
00:24:10.58\00:24:11.91
Our thoughts, our theme
is the blessing is on the go
00:24:11.95\00:24:15.52
and we shared
yesterday morning in worship.
00:24:15.55\00:24:18.85
We go, you know,
he is power steering
00:24:18.89\00:24:21.62
until you get to moving.
00:24:21.66\00:24:23.12
So you get to
moving, don't just sit there.
00:24:23.16\00:24:25.83
You get to moving and allow God
to give you the power to do it.
00:24:25.86\00:24:29.43
But when you go,
you want to go with God
00:24:29.46\00:24:32.43
and go being led
by the Holy Spirit.
00:24:32.47\00:24:35.40
It's so important to
be led but it's amazing
00:24:35.44\00:24:38.77
what the Holy Spirit will
do and how he will direct you.
00:24:38.81\00:24:43.04
I shared this in
Mollie's Sabbath school class
00:24:43.08\00:24:45.21
where it's talking
about witnessing recently
00:24:45.25\00:24:47.45
that Mollie and
I were in Alabama,
00:24:47.48\00:24:49.02
probably about 25
years ago and we got up,
00:24:49.05\00:24:51.69
we were playing
golf we were on vacation.
00:24:51.72\00:24:54.19
We got up to the first tee
00:24:54.22\00:24:55.72
and a guy was
standing there and he said,
00:24:55.76\00:24:57.96
"Would you guys
like to play with me?
00:24:57.99\00:24:59.66
I'm playing by myself."
00:24:59.69\00:25:01.03
And I said, "Yeah,
we don't play good,
00:25:01.06\00:25:02.63
but we do play fast."
00:25:02.66\00:25:04.43
And he said, "Well, come on."
00:25:04.47\00:25:06.00
And so I got up
there and I said--
00:25:06.03\00:25:08.97
say his name was Bill, I
don't remember right now.
00:25:09.00\00:25:11.34
"Bill, what do you do?"
00:25:11.37\00:25:12.71
And he said,
"You would never guess
00:25:12.74\00:25:14.14
in a million years what I do."
00:25:14.18\00:25:16.34
I said, "God, I want
to witness to this guy,
00:25:16.38\00:25:18.25
open a door here,
don't wanting to shut down."
00:25:18.28\00:25:21.08
He said, "There are only
about four of us in the world
00:25:21.12\00:25:24.55
that do this."
00:25:24.59\00:25:26.82
And as I'm standing here
00:25:26.86\00:25:28.19
and Mollie
bears witness with it.
00:25:28.22\00:25:30.49
The Holy Spirit
spoke to my heart and said,
00:25:30.53\00:25:33.70
"He restores old books.
00:25:33.73\00:25:38.07
He binds and rebinds old books."
00:25:38.10\00:25:42.77
And so I just told him,
00:25:42.80\00:25:44.14
"You restore old
books, you are book binder."
00:25:44.17\00:25:46.27
And he turned around
and dropped his golf club
00:25:46.31\00:25:48.11
and said, "A book?"
00:25:48.14\00:25:51.61
Needless to say, he
heard every word about it.
00:25:51.65\00:25:57.15
I didn't play
golf that good that day
00:25:57.19\00:25:58.89
but I sure witnessed
about Jesus that day.
00:25:58.92\00:26:01.49
So when you go the
blessing is on the go,
00:26:01.52\00:26:03.76
so go with God and
go with the leading
00:26:03.79\00:26:07.86
and the power
of the Holy Spirit.
00:26:07.90\00:26:10.37
I like when you said
00:26:10.40\00:26:11.73
how about it
needs to be spirit led
00:26:11.77\00:26:13.50
because if not we
can make a mess of it.
00:26:13.54\00:26:15.77
You know, it's like and
asking God every morning,
00:26:15.80\00:26:17.74
who can I--
00:26:17.77\00:26:19.11
who would You have
me to witness to You.
00:26:19.14\00:26:20.48
It might be more than one person
00:26:20.51\00:26:21.84
but if He leads
you, then that's the key,
00:26:21.88\00:26:24.31
you know, that we--
00:26:24.35\00:26:25.85
you know found that out there,
00:26:25.88\00:26:27.82
you know, through just
the witnessing and stuff
00:26:27.85\00:26:30.22
that asking for
those opportunities
00:26:30.25\00:26:32.59
and that the Holy
Spirit would prompt you
00:26:32.62\00:26:34.02
when that
person is in your path.
00:26:34.06\00:26:36.22
You know, and that's
the key as a Holy Spirit.
00:26:36.26\00:26:37.86
Another thing I
like to add to that too,
00:26:37.89\00:26:39.23
it's the blessing is on the
go like you said that faith,
00:26:39.26\00:26:41.60
when you are asking,
pray for those things,
00:26:41.63\00:26:43.37
"Lord, I want
divine appointments,
00:26:43.40\00:26:44.73
I want to reach
summit for the gospel."
00:26:44.77\00:26:46.40
When He gives you that
moment, don't step back,
00:26:46.43\00:26:48.17
well, I'm not-- you
know, you need to step forward
00:26:48.20\00:26:49.87
and Lord will just,
He'll take that moment
00:26:49.90\00:26:51.44
and you'll be amazed
00:26:51.47\00:26:52.81
and not only does
that encourage that person
00:26:52.84\00:26:54.18
but it also
encourages your faith.
00:26:54.21\00:26:55.58
You know, if you
don't get out there,
00:26:55.61\00:26:56.95
your faith is more
encouraged as you do I think so.
00:26:56.98\00:26:59.41
You know, if you
don't hear anything else
00:26:59.45\00:27:00.78
I'll say tonight, I
want you to hear this.
00:27:00.82\00:27:04.55
You are not
responsible for the end result
00:27:04.59\00:27:07.16
when God tells
you to do something.
00:27:07.19\00:27:09.52
You are responsible
for being obedient to God.
00:27:09.56\00:27:13.29
So if God speaks to you
and tells you to do this,
00:27:13.33\00:27:17.53
then what you need to do
00:27:17.57\00:27:19.53
is you need to
go ahead and do it.
00:27:19.57\00:27:21.04
It doesn't matter
whether they tell you are crazy.
00:27:21.07\00:27:23.67
If they tell you
the nut, you are a nut.
00:27:23.71\00:27:25.57
You can tell, "I might be a nut
00:27:25.61\00:27:26.94
but I'm screwed
on the right bolt
00:27:26.98\00:27:28.34
and that bolt is Jesus Christ."
00:27:28.38\00:27:29.71
Amen.
00:27:29.74\00:27:31.08
But anyway, you know,
00:27:31.11\00:27:32.45
you got to be led
by the spirit of God
00:27:32.48\00:27:35.28
when you do these things.
00:27:35.32\00:27:36.65
Go and God will honor that
00:27:36.69\00:27:38.65
and you're not
responsible for the end result.
00:27:38.69\00:27:40.66
Hear it again.
00:27:40.69\00:27:42.02
You are responsible
for being obedient to God.
00:27:42.06\00:27:44.86
Here we had a
young lady who asked us
00:27:44.89\00:27:46.49
just a few weeks
ago, we went to a funeral.
00:27:46.53\00:27:48.90
And the young lady we spoke to,
00:27:48.93\00:27:50.57
I haven't seen this
young man in quite a while.
00:27:50.60\00:27:51.93
We used to work with
but she asked us out.
00:27:51.97\00:27:54.10
You know, I felt
the Lord impressed me,
00:27:54.14\00:27:55.64
give her this glow track
that says "Talking with God"
00:27:55.67\00:27:58.67
and she says, "How do
you know how to do that?
00:27:58.71\00:28:00.04
What is it?"
00:28:00.08\00:28:01.41
And I tell her it's
the spirit that tells us,
00:28:01.44\00:28:02.78
it impresses you.
00:28:02.81\00:28:04.15
This is what this person needs
00:28:04.18\00:28:05.51
this particular time
and I give it to him.
00:28:05.55\00:28:06.88
And she is like, "Oh, wow."
00:28:06.92\00:28:08.25
So, she was really attracted
00:28:08.28\00:28:09.62
and wanted to know more
about how the spirit functions
00:28:09.65\00:28:11.45
and how we work, you know,
impressing people with them
00:28:11.49\00:28:14.19
and truly give them so--
00:28:14.22\00:28:15.62
It's amazing.
00:28:15.66\00:28:16.99
The Spirit of God will lead us.
00:28:17.03\00:28:18.53
He's our teacher
and He's our guide.
00:28:18.56\00:28:20.70
You know, how something
that you mentioned earlier
00:28:20.73\00:28:24.23
was that, learning
to keep the Sabbath,
00:28:24.27\00:28:28.40
learning because
again, we were in our 50s
00:28:28.44\00:28:32.17
when we came into
the Adventist Church.
00:28:32.21\00:28:34.24
We came into the
truth of the Sabbath.
00:28:34.28\00:28:36.51
Praise the Lord. Yeah.
00:28:36.54\00:28:37.88
And so keeping the
Sabbath and Hal mentioned
00:28:37.91\00:28:42.12
initially we thought
going to church on Saturday
00:28:42.15\00:28:45.82
was what this was about,
00:28:45.85\00:28:47.79
that's just
part of it, you know.
00:28:47.82\00:28:50.76
But learning how
to keep the Sabbath
00:28:50.79\00:28:53.70
and never having
any training in this,
00:28:53.73\00:28:55.90
you know, and see
I know with you two
00:28:55.93\00:28:59.37
as you were talking
you were a preacher's kid,
00:28:59.40\00:29:02.37
you are a PK.
00:29:02.40\00:29:03.74
Robert, were you a
preacher's kid? No.
00:29:03.77\00:29:05.54
But you were raised strongly
in the Adventist Church.
00:29:05.57\00:29:07.08
Yes. Yes.
00:29:07.11\00:29:08.44
So you have
heritage, you have history.
00:29:08.48\00:29:10.25
You had examples in
your home of-- to follow
00:29:10.28\00:29:14.58
and fortunately you
have the same example
00:29:14.62\00:29:17.55
so that made it
very compatible for you.
00:29:17.59\00:29:20.66
And Hal, and I
didn't. We had to learn.
00:29:20.69\00:29:23.16
And I wanted to
ask Janelle and Donald,
00:29:23.19\00:29:27.36
were you raised in
an Adventist Church
00:29:27.40\00:29:29.36
and do you have
this history and heritage
00:29:29.40\00:29:31.50
and if not, how did you
learn to keep the Sabbath?
00:29:31.53\00:29:34.87
What were the
steps the Lord led you
00:29:34.90\00:29:38.17
to learn how to
keep the Sabbath?
00:29:38.21\00:29:39.67
One minute, I
will share with you.
00:29:39.71\00:29:41.38
Mine will just be pretty quick,
00:29:41.41\00:29:42.94
he's got a better
testimony, I think.
00:29:42.98\00:29:45.81
I was raised
Seventh-day Adventist
00:29:45.85\00:29:47.88
and then I was
baptized about age 12.
00:29:47.92\00:29:51.85
And then about
a year after that,
00:29:51.89\00:29:53.29
my parents got divorced
00:29:53.32\00:29:54.66
and so we
stopped going to church
00:29:54.69\00:29:56.02
and hadn't been to
church in a long time.
00:29:56.06\00:29:58.39
And a lot of stuff that
I'm learning now, honesty,
00:29:58.43\00:30:01.30
I mean, you know, I
know I was a kid then
00:30:01.33\00:30:03.00
but He's just really
opened up a lot of things to me
00:30:03.03\00:30:06.37
that I didn't know
about, never remember hearing.
00:30:06.40\00:30:08.80
So, you know,
praise the Lord for that.
00:30:08.84\00:30:10.74
But yeah, it was--
00:30:10.77\00:30:12.47
that my parents
planted the seeds
00:30:12.51\00:30:14.01
at a young age and unfortunately
00:30:14.04\00:30:16.28
they changed a
little bit later but...
00:30:16.31\00:30:19.01
It's back now.
00:30:19.05\00:30:20.65
But, yeah, the Lord
spoke on my heart back in 2008,
00:30:20.68\00:30:25.29
things had to
get right in my life
00:30:25.32\00:30:27.02
and I never even heard
of the Adventist message.
00:30:27.06\00:30:28.72
I didn't even know or
was even had neighbors
00:30:28.76\00:30:30.09
across the street the
kid that were Adventist like,
00:30:30.13\00:30:31.79
I'm really like
what Adventist do.
00:30:31.83\00:30:34.20
But I am so, I started
studying on some things
00:30:34.23\00:30:38.73
and the Lord really
impressed me in a dream,
00:30:38.77\00:30:41.27
back in February 2008.
00:30:41.30\00:30:42.70
He had talked to me and
He said that God is coming.
00:30:42.74\00:30:46.17
I mean, I know it
came from Him specifically.
00:30:46.21\00:30:48.08
And I was like, I got to get
some things right in my life.
00:30:48.11\00:30:49.91
So I started studying and
also He put in my mind sabado.
00:30:49.94\00:30:54.32
Like that's
Spanish. I know Spanish.
00:30:54.35\00:30:56.28
So study that word out
00:30:56.32\00:30:57.65
and I studied on
the different languages.
00:30:57.69\00:30:59.25
Russian, how is it
in Russian? Subbota.
00:30:59.29\00:31:00.96
Subbota. Subbota?
00:31:00.99\00:31:02.46
Subbota see, subbota.
00:31:02.49\00:31:03.83
I'm like, "Wow,
there's something to this.
00:31:03.86\00:31:05.53
A Sabbath thing."
00:31:05.56\00:31:06.90
So we really
started it studying that
00:31:06.93\00:31:08.46
and we went through this,
study called Steps to Christ,
00:31:08.50\00:31:11.07
both of us to
kind of wrap this up.
00:31:11.10\00:31:12.90
I don't know.
00:31:12.93\00:31:14.27
I don't think you mentioned
but he thought my church,
00:31:14.30\00:31:15.87
my parents were weird
00:31:15.90\00:31:17.24
for taking us
church on Saturdays
00:31:17.27\00:31:19.01
when we were kids.
00:31:19.04\00:31:20.38
And he said,
what's that all about?
00:31:20.41\00:31:21.74
Were you guys
trying to be different
00:31:21.78\00:31:23.11
or, you know,
what's up with that?
00:31:23.14\00:31:25.65
And so he kind of,
kind of led into the,
00:31:25.68\00:31:29.62
you know, the reason why.
00:31:29.65\00:31:31.32
He wanted to know why.
00:31:31.35\00:31:32.69
Well, we studied
Steps to Christ together
00:31:32.72\00:31:34.49
and two months prior to
finish up Steps to Christ,
00:31:34.52\00:31:37.83
I said in my head, "I
want to go to church now.
00:31:37.86\00:31:39.63
I really want to go to church.
00:31:39.66\00:31:41.00
Sound like
sinners anything to her
00:31:41.03\00:31:42.40
and after we finished
it, she said, "You know what,
00:31:42.43\00:31:45.27
I think I want to
go to church now."
00:31:45.30\00:31:47.10
But we were keeping this
Sabbath actually at home,
00:31:47.14\00:31:48.70
we didn't think we
needed church kind of,
00:31:48.74\00:31:50.54
I'm sure many of us
have been down that path.
00:31:50.57\00:31:52.57
You know, well, you
don't need to go to church,
00:31:52.61\00:31:54.18
we can do it here.
00:31:54.21\00:31:55.54
And the Lord impressed us.
00:31:55.58\00:31:56.91
And what was really funny,
00:31:56.95\00:31:58.28
as soon as I got
into the church in 2009,
00:31:58.31\00:31:59.65
I got baptized and
they instantly said
00:31:59.68\00:32:01.38
"Hey, you want to be deacon?"
00:32:01.42\00:32:02.75
I'm like what's a
deacon? What is a deacon?
00:32:02.78\00:32:04.95
I don't know what that is.
00:32:04.99\00:32:06.32
So they quickly
put me in position
00:32:06.35\00:32:09.19
to do something in a church
00:32:09.22\00:32:10.56
and I was
privileged and then I realized,
00:32:10.59\00:32:12.63
"You know what,
this is a privilege
00:32:12.66\00:32:14.00
to even be in this church
and now to open it and function
00:32:14.03\00:32:16.00
because here we were
sitting in our living room,
00:32:16.03\00:32:18.10
and we're saying, well,
we'll keep the Sabbath at home,
00:32:18.13\00:32:19.57
we don't need to go there.
00:32:19.60\00:32:20.94
So the Lord really
opened the door so--
00:32:20.97\00:32:23.30
You know, what I
want you to do is
00:32:23.34\00:32:25.27
come back to you,
Hal, if this will work.
00:32:25.31\00:32:28.41
Okay.
00:32:28.44\00:32:29.84
And let you tell our viewers
00:32:29.88\00:32:32.48
because I know that
so many of our viewers
00:32:32.51\00:32:35.72
are like Hal and
I and like you are.
00:32:35.75\00:32:37.75
We weren't raised Adventist.
00:32:37.79\00:32:40.19
And how you,
00:32:40.22\00:32:41.56
what you do on the
Sabbath to keep the Sabbath?
00:32:41.59\00:32:44.26
But remember I said earlier
00:32:44.29\00:32:46.13
that Sofiya was
going to tell a story.
00:32:46.16\00:32:48.56
Yes.
00:32:48.60\00:32:49.93
I think Sofiya that it's
time for you to tell a story
00:32:49.96\00:32:52.47
if you are ready to.
00:32:52.50\00:32:53.84
Are you ready
to tell your story?
00:32:53.87\00:32:55.20
Over here. Okay.
00:32:55.24\00:32:57.01
All right.
You've got a big smile.
00:32:57.04\00:32:58.41
Now, if you are not,
we'll wait a few minutes
00:32:58.44\00:33:00.31
but if you want to tell
your story now, you can.
00:33:00.34\00:33:02.91
I like to hear it.
00:33:02.94\00:33:04.28
Just look at
this, what does it say?
00:33:04.31\00:33:06.58
She's just a little shy.
00:33:06.61\00:33:07.95
She's a little
shy, now that's okay.
00:33:07.98\00:33:09.78
We know that she will,
she wants to tell her story.
00:33:09.82\00:33:14.16
Sofiya, you will let us know
00:33:14.19\00:33:15.52
when you are
ready to tell that story
00:33:15.56\00:33:17.59
and we'll be
ready to listen to it.
00:33:17.63\00:33:19.59
But I want to ask you two,
00:33:19.63\00:33:22.33
you both being raised Adventist,
00:33:22.36\00:33:26.27
keeping the Sabbath
from sundown on Friday
00:33:26.30\00:33:29.70
till sundown on Sabbath.
00:33:29.74\00:33:32.14
What is it that
you do on the Sabbath?
00:33:32.17\00:33:35.14
You know, it's not
just "all right, you start,
00:33:35.18\00:33:38.01
you read your
Bible, you go to church."
00:33:38.05\00:33:40.62
I know you invite
people to your homes.
00:33:40.65\00:33:42.68
There's so much to it
and Hal's got some scriptures
00:33:42.72\00:33:45.05
or got a-- not some scripture
00:33:45.09\00:33:46.65
but you've got
something from Sister White.
00:33:46.69\00:33:48.86
You want to read that?
I would love to, Mollie.
00:33:48.89\00:33:50.93
So, let me put my
glasses on because I'm old.
00:33:50.96\00:33:55.10
But I want to ask you
all what you'd do? Okay.
00:33:55.13\00:33:57.53
This is powerful
because so many people think
00:33:57.57\00:34:00.74
well, you know, "I go to church,
00:34:00.77\00:34:02.60
I go to Sabbath school,
then I go to pot blessed lunch
00:34:02.64\00:34:05.97
and then I'll go home,
take a nap and that's it
00:34:06.01\00:34:08.54
because I'm not
supposed to do anything.
00:34:08.58\00:34:10.58
You see, that's just not so.
00:34:10.61\00:34:13.01
She says here Ellen
White, this is from CH, 368.2,
00:34:13.05\00:34:18.02
"Your neglect to attend
the public worship of God
00:34:18.05\00:34:20.76
is a serious error.
00:34:20.79\00:34:22.79
The privileges of divine service
00:34:22.82\00:34:24.46
will be as
beneficial to you as to others
00:34:24.49\00:34:26.86
and are fully as essential.
00:34:26.90\00:34:29.60
But you may be
unable to avail yourself
00:34:29.63\00:34:32.77
of these privileges as
often as do many others.
00:34:32.80\00:34:36.47
You will frequently be
called, upon the Sabbath,
00:34:36.50\00:34:39.51
to visit the
sick, and may be obliged
00:34:39.54\00:34:43.68
to make it a day
of exhausting labor."
00:34:43.71\00:34:46.48
For the Lord I will add.
00:34:46.51\00:34:48.42
"Such labor to
relieve the sufferings
00:34:48.45\00:34:50.59
was pronounced by our
Savior a work of mercy
00:34:50.62\00:34:54.79
and no violation of the Sabbath.
00:34:54.82\00:34:58.46
But when you
regularly devote your Sabbaths
00:34:58.49\00:35:01.06
to writing or labor,
making no special change,
00:35:01.10\00:35:05.83
you harm your own soul,
give to others an example
00:35:05.87\00:35:10.07
that is not worthy of imitation,
00:35:10.11\00:35:13.14
and do not honor God."
00:35:13.17\00:35:15.51
We want to honor
God but we can honor God
00:35:15.54\00:35:19.21
by being a
witness on the Sabbath.
00:35:19.25\00:35:22.18
Witnessing to,
you know, Jesus said
00:35:22.22\00:35:25.55
that after that the Holy
Spirit has come upon you,
00:35:25.59\00:35:28.39
you shall be witnesses unto Me,
00:35:28.42\00:35:31.09
both in
Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria
00:35:31.13\00:35:34.50
and the outermost
parts on the earth.
00:35:34.53\00:35:35.86
Well, I'm not a
really smart guy,
00:35:35.90\00:35:37.23
but in Alabama, both is two
00:35:37.27\00:35:40.14
and He names
four different places
00:35:40.17\00:35:42.10
where Jerusalem, Judea,
Samaria is your own locale,
00:35:42.14\00:35:46.31
your own neighborhood,
your own neighbors,
00:35:46.34\00:35:49.48
your own people that
you are familiar with
00:35:49.51\00:35:52.75
and then to the
outermost parts of the earth,
00:35:52.78\00:35:55.25
is when that you go to a
different place or traveling
00:35:55.28\00:36:00.12
or whatever the case may be.
00:36:00.16\00:36:02.09
But what we need to be is not
a witness every now and then,
00:36:02.12\00:36:05.99
we need to be a
constant witness.
00:36:06.03\00:36:08.46
Now you have
something you are talking about,
00:36:08.50\00:36:10.97
it's just the preacher
00:36:11.00\00:36:12.33
that's supposed to do
the witnessing, right?
00:36:12.37\00:36:14.67
Yeah. Exactly,
yeah. That's all his job.
00:36:14.70\00:36:17.17
Yeah, His job, is it?
00:36:17.21\00:36:18.57
Wait a minute, I
don't think the world
00:36:18.61\00:36:20.28
would go so fast with it.
00:36:20.31\00:36:22.01
I don't think it
will go but, you know,
00:36:22.04\00:36:23.55
I found out that
sheep produce sheep.
00:36:23.58\00:36:25.95
Yeah, that's right.
I like to read this.
00:36:25.98\00:36:29.28
This is another
Ellen White's quotes here.
00:36:29.32\00:36:31.59
It's called "One Person
Not to Do All the Witnessing."
00:36:31.62\00:36:35.09
"The fact that the
Lord has been represented
00:36:35.12\00:36:38.19
as hearkening to the
words spoken by His witnesses,
00:36:38.23\00:36:41.83
tells us that Jesus
is in our very midst."
00:36:41.86\00:36:43.77
Did you hear that?
00:36:43.80\00:36:45.13
It tells us that
Jesus is in our very midst.
00:36:45.17\00:36:47.94
He says, 'Where two or
three are gathered together
00:36:47.97\00:36:50.51
in my name, there
am I in the midst.'
00:36:50.54\00:36:53.27
One person is not to do
all the witnessing for Jesus,
00:36:53.31\00:36:56.58
but everyone who
loves God is to testify
00:36:56.61\00:36:59.05
of the preciousness
of His grace and truth.
00:36:59.08\00:37:01.55
Those who receive
the light of truth
00:37:01.58\00:37:03.12
are to have lesson upon lesson
00:37:03.15\00:37:05.59
to educate them
not to keep silent,
00:37:05.62\00:37:07.99
but to speak
often one to another.
00:37:08.02\00:37:10.69
They are to keep in
mind the Sabbath meeting,
00:37:10.73\00:37:12.49
when those who
love and fear God,
00:37:12.53\00:37:14.63
and who think upon His name,
00:37:14.66\00:37:16.83
can have opportunity
to express their thoughts
00:37:16.87\00:37:18.63
in speaking one to another."
00:37:18.67\00:37:20.10
Now, I kind of liken this idea.
00:37:20.14\00:37:22.17
It's like, if you
really love somebody,
00:37:22.20\00:37:23.54
when you want to go
and tell somebody about it.
00:37:23.57\00:37:24.94
I mean, we just
won't keep it to yourself.
00:37:24.97\00:37:27.38
When God comes into
your life and He changes you,
00:37:27.41\00:37:29.24
it's like you can't hold it in.
00:37:29.28\00:37:31.15
You want to get
out and you just see
00:37:31.18\00:37:32.51
all these people around
you, just looks so unhappy,
00:37:32.55\00:37:34.88
miserable and you're like "wow"
00:37:34.92\00:37:36.25
you want them to
have the same joy.
00:37:36.28\00:37:38.05
I think that's what we
need to do as a group of people
00:37:38.09\00:37:39.99
and another thing too
is that the Holy Spirit
00:37:40.02\00:37:42.22
is another part
of the witnessing.
00:37:42.26\00:37:44.09
If we have the
Holy Spirit with us,
00:37:44.13\00:37:45.46
like we've been talking about,
00:37:45.49\00:37:46.83
that's what we
need to do this work.
00:37:46.86\00:37:48.80
Well, the quote
that Hal read shows us
00:37:48.83\00:37:51.20
that we are to do
benevolent acts of his goodness
00:37:51.23\00:37:54.90
on the Sabbath
and you are saying
00:37:54.94\00:37:57.34
that it's not just the
pastor that needs to do it.
00:37:57.37\00:37:59.07
That's exactly right.
00:37:59.11\00:38:00.44
It needs to be a sheep as well.
00:38:00.48\00:38:02.28
So, Nadya and Robert, is
Sofiya ready to tell her story?
00:38:02.31\00:38:08.18
Well, I was just
talking about the Sabbath.
00:38:08.22\00:38:09.95
I'm a working progress. Okay.
00:38:09.98\00:38:12.42
I'm working progress,
that and for me that means
00:38:12.45\00:38:14.76
every Sabbath I know,
I've failed every time.
00:38:14.79\00:38:18.53
There are times even, you know,
00:38:18.56\00:38:20.36
recent I go and I
follow the news well,
00:38:20.40\00:38:23.06
I may in fact
going back to the Bible.
00:38:23.10\00:38:26.00
And I'll say because of Nadya,
the mindset of the Sabbath
00:38:26.03\00:38:29.14
doesn't actually start sundown,
it starts in preparation.
00:38:29.17\00:38:31.91
Yes in preparation, that's good.
00:38:31.94\00:38:33.27
And, you know, I mow the lawn.
00:38:33.31\00:38:34.71
Nadya, she gets the house clean.
00:38:34.74\00:38:37.85
And you are talking
on? On Friday. On Friday.
00:38:37.88\00:38:40.15
Friday, before the sundown.
00:38:40.18\00:38:41.55
I mean, there's the
preparation and, you know,
00:38:41.58\00:38:43.92
when we look at
Moses, you gather before,
00:38:43.95\00:38:47.39
you know, the day happens
00:38:47.42\00:38:49.16
to prepare
yourself for the Sabbath.
00:38:49.19\00:38:51.93
So I think our
mindset needs to start not on,
00:38:51.96\00:38:55.63
you know, "Oh, it's sundown.
00:38:55.66\00:38:57.00
Now everything get
shut off, no TV, that's it."
00:38:57.03\00:38:59.13
No, it needs to
start before that. Amen.
00:38:59.17\00:39:01.20
Those watching need to
remember this is Friday night
00:39:01.24\00:39:04.87
and tomorrow would be a good day
00:39:04.91\00:39:07.14
for you to put
everything that we are saying,
00:39:07.18\00:39:09.24
in everything in the
Word of God into practice.
00:39:09.28\00:39:11.51
You are in preparation tonight.
00:39:11.55\00:39:12.91
We are ushering in
the Sabbath into tomorrow
00:39:12.95\00:39:16.18
as you worship divine
worship and everything,
00:39:16.22\00:39:20.19
ask God to prepare
your heart to be a witness.
00:39:20.22\00:39:22.99
I think doesn't
Sister White tell us
00:39:23.59\00:39:25.63
to guard the
edges of the Sabbath.
00:39:25.66\00:39:27.76
That's right. Amen to that.
00:39:27.80\00:39:29.23
Well, what else we'd
do on Sabbath? Well, yeah.
00:39:29.26\00:39:31.90
In the morning we'll go
to church Sabbath school,
00:39:31.93\00:39:33.97
then, you know,
sermon and, you know,
00:39:34.00\00:39:36.04
sometimes we stay for
lunch or usually we come home
00:39:36.07\00:39:38.27
and invite people and afternoon,
00:39:38.31\00:39:41.94
sometimes we go
for like nature walk,
00:39:41.98\00:39:44.75
you know, to enjoy because
nature is another Bible that,
00:39:44.78\00:39:47.72
you know, God created
that we can learn a lot.
00:39:47.75\00:39:50.69
Where we go, we start
going to nursing homes.
00:39:50.72\00:39:54.42
Sometimes we go to
West Frankfurt or Benton,
00:39:54.46\00:39:57.09
and those, you know,
people who live there
00:39:57.13\00:40:00.43
come and sit down
00:40:00.46\00:40:02.20
and they'll
listen to our singing.
00:40:02.23\00:40:04.40
And Sofiya sometimes
has a solo there, don't you.
00:40:04.43\00:40:06.00
Yeah, and sometimes she will do,
00:40:06.03\00:40:07.37
you know, special music
00:40:07.40\00:40:09.50
and can be another
witnessing to those people.
00:40:09.54\00:40:14.98
Oh, and I know that it
must really touch their hearts.
00:40:15.01\00:40:20.32
I know, I've spent
some time in a nursing.
00:40:20.35\00:40:22.98
Had a lady in the nursing
home and I went quite often,
00:40:23.02\00:40:26.59
almost every
afternoon I would drop down
00:40:26.62\00:40:28.82
and see her and the--
00:40:28.86\00:40:31.33
I got so attached to the others
there in the nursing home.
00:40:31.36\00:40:34.66
They are so thankful
00:40:34.70\00:40:37.17
when you come to see them
and spend some time with them.
00:40:37.20\00:40:39.07
Sometimes they
cannot get out like,
00:40:39.10\00:40:40.57
every day and go see people
00:40:40.60\00:40:42.17
and they are happy
when people come to them
00:40:42.20\00:40:43.97
and, you know, hug
them, sing to them,
00:40:44.01\00:40:46.04
you know, beautiful old songs.
00:40:46.07\00:40:47.88
Yes. Oh, yeah.
00:40:47.91\00:40:49.38
There was a lady
there who was visiting her,
00:40:49.41\00:40:52.05
I believe her
father and she asks,
00:40:52.08\00:40:53.45
"Oh, that's very
nice. What you're doing?
00:40:53.48\00:40:55.12
What church are you from?"
00:40:55.15\00:40:57.85
So it's not only
witness to them there
00:40:57.89\00:41:00.12
but anyone who
might be visiting.
00:41:00.16\00:41:01.62
And we are thinking, oh,
we are going to bless them.
00:41:01.66\00:41:06.06
But who gets the most blessings?
00:41:06.09\00:41:08.93
That blessing comes
back on us, multiple fold.
00:41:08.96\00:41:12.80
Now, you guys have a
ministry of going out
00:41:12.83\00:41:16.17
and doing a lot of witnessing,
00:41:16.20\00:41:18.11
street
witnessing, home witnessing
00:41:18.14\00:41:20.28
and when I used to be in
sales, it was called "cold call"
00:41:20.31\00:41:24.65
where you
didn't know the person,
00:41:24.68\00:41:26.01
you didn't have their
number and everything.
00:41:26.05\00:41:27.62
Won't you share
some of that with us?
00:41:27.65\00:41:29.58
Oh, my, you want to
share a story for us?
00:41:29.62\00:41:31.22
Oh, I can start this one out.
00:41:31.25\00:41:32.59
And he gets more
detailed at the story
00:41:32.62\00:41:34.02
so I think he might be
better to kind of fine tune it.
00:41:34.06\00:41:36.36
But take off with it.
Let's see what he does.
00:41:36.39\00:41:38.13
Okay, so we were
at different church
00:41:38.16\00:41:42.90
this particular Sabbath
that he was speaking at.
00:41:42.93\00:41:45.43
And so it was like
about two hours away
00:41:45.47\00:41:48.34
and so we were coming back.
00:41:48.37\00:41:51.34
We had a friend with us
00:41:51.37\00:41:52.77
and so our friend was
sitting in the front seat
00:41:52.81\00:41:56.31
and then I was
sitting in the back seat
00:41:56.34\00:41:57.68
and as we were, we
took a different route
00:41:57.71\00:41:59.78
than what we would
normally like because
00:41:59.81\00:42:01.15
we've been to this church
before for Don to speak there.
00:42:01.18\00:42:03.49
And for some reason,
00:42:03.52\00:42:06.55
he took a
different route and so...
00:42:06.59\00:42:10.19
you can take it from there.
00:42:10.23\00:42:11.56
Yeah, we were heading on
south to come back to Benton
00:42:11.59\00:42:15.30
and the road where we went,
00:42:15.33\00:42:16.67
it wide off to two
different decisions.
00:42:16.70\00:42:18.40
So I wasn't sure
which way should I go,
00:42:18.43\00:42:19.83
to the left or to the right.
00:42:19.87\00:42:21.47
Some says turn to the
right, so we curved to the right
00:42:21.50\00:42:23.81
and we go down
maybe half a mile.
00:42:23.84\00:42:26.51
We see this gentleman
probably in his 30s, 40s
00:42:26.54\00:42:29.78
behind him this suitcase
and the suitcase behind him,
00:42:29.81\00:42:33.62
I said, well I looked
at, Yanick was with us.
00:42:33.65\00:42:36.05
It was you and me and Yanick.
00:42:36.08\00:42:37.82
I said, shall we pick this
gentleman up and I'm like...
00:42:37.85\00:42:40.86
Some said pick him up
and prior to all this had me,
00:42:40.89\00:42:43.43
I should back this story up.
00:42:43.46\00:42:44.96
This church we went
to, one of the gentleman
00:42:44.99\00:42:46.59
by the name of Paul was kind of,
00:42:46.63\00:42:47.96
he made his own home, made bread
00:42:48.00\00:42:50.00
and he gave us a
loaf to take home with us.
00:42:50.03\00:42:52.13
I was guarding it.
00:42:52.17\00:42:53.50
And she was like,
"Excuse me, I am not,
00:42:53.54\00:42:55.20
this is my loaf of bread."
00:42:55.24\00:42:57.01
And then other gentleman,
when I preached there,
00:42:57.04\00:42:59.87
he said he really
enjoyed the sermon.
00:42:59.91\00:43:01.71
He said, "I want
you to have this"
00:43:01.74\00:43:03.08
and he slipped me a
hundred dollar bill.
00:43:03.11\00:43:04.45
Wow. Praise God.
00:43:04.48\00:43:05.81
Hundred dollar bill
00:43:05.85\00:43:07.18
and we don't have a whole
lot of money in our wallet.
00:43:07.22\00:43:08.55
Can I go with you next time?
00:43:08.58\00:43:09.92
He passed away. Oh.
00:43:09.95\00:43:11.29
Yeah, he passed away this year.
00:43:11.32\00:43:12.85
But so we are traveling,
pick up this gentleman,
00:43:12.89\00:43:15.86
you know, we are
like, "what do we witness,
00:43:15.89\00:43:17.26
how do we witness this man?"
00:43:17.29\00:43:18.63
He told us that he
was actually in a living--
00:43:18.66\00:43:20.70
staying in an abandoned home
and the police came and said
00:43:20.73\00:43:23.83
You need to get to out of here.
You are not to stay in here.
00:43:23.87\00:43:25.53
So that's why he's
walking in the street
00:43:25.57\00:43:26.90
and trying to
get to Mount Vernon.
00:43:26.94\00:43:28.47
So he said,
"Okay, we can get there,
00:43:28.50\00:43:29.94
we can turn that way."
00:43:29.97\00:43:31.31
So we traveled,
we picked him up,
00:43:31.34\00:43:32.67
get him in the car,
we go to Mount Vernon.
00:43:32.71\00:43:34.08
He sits in the
back seat with her.
00:43:34.11\00:43:35.44
She's like, "This
is a little awkward."
00:43:35.48\00:43:36.81
Yeah, it was very awkward.
00:43:36.85\00:43:38.18
I said, "I don't
know if I'll like this."
00:43:38.21\00:43:39.58
Yeah, he is homeless.
00:43:39.61\00:43:41.52
And so we got into this point
00:43:41.55\00:43:42.88
where he needed
to be dropped off.
00:43:42.92\00:43:44.65
We get him out, he
gets out of the car,
00:43:44.69\00:43:46.79
gets his luggage and
stuff and gave him a book.
00:43:46.82\00:43:48.92
I think its "Great Controversy."
00:43:48.96\00:43:50.29
Gave him "The
Great Controversy."
00:43:50.33\00:43:51.66
You need to read this,
this is about the battle
00:43:51.69\00:43:53.03
between good and evil,
so it's gonna help you.
00:43:53.06\00:43:54.96
And then she said--
00:43:55.00\00:43:56.33
in her mind she said,
"Well, I want to give this man
00:43:56.36\00:43:57.87
the loaf of bread"
because he is homeless.
00:43:57.90\00:43:59.77
So she gave him
the loaf of bread.
00:43:59.80\00:44:01.77
Ungrudgingly.
00:44:01.80\00:44:03.14
And same for me
with the $100 bill.
00:44:03.17\00:44:05.24
You know, I said I had
this envelope with $100 bills
00:44:05.27\00:44:07.68
still in my
wallet and he said, look.
00:44:07.71\00:44:09.38
So the guy walks off,
he goes on these steps
00:44:09.41\00:44:11.08
to go to this, like apartment
complex and the Lord says,
00:44:11.11\00:44:13.65
"You know, you got a
$100 bill in your pocket."
00:44:13.68\00:44:15.48
Oh my. No, no. Not
the $100 bill. No, no.
00:44:15.52\00:44:19.49
No, no, God, doesn't my God.
00:44:19.52\00:44:21.22
How many of us
have rebuked the devil?
00:44:21.26\00:44:24.43
He say, "You
need to go follow him
00:44:24.46\00:44:25.79
and give him the $100 bill."
00:44:25.83\00:44:27.16
He said, "Don't judge him,
00:44:27.20\00:44:28.53
don't think about Me
he's going to pass us.
00:44:28.56\00:44:29.90
Just give him the
hundred dollar bill and go."
00:44:29.93\00:44:31.27
So I go down the steps and,
you know, I'm looking around.
00:44:31.30\00:44:33.13
He's gone and I'm like,
Oh, may be he was an angel.
00:44:33.17\00:44:34.90
It was a test,
okay, I'm gonna go back
00:44:34.94\00:44:36.64
and nope I looked just
down, there he is, oh, man.
00:44:36.67\00:44:39.47
So I run down, I gave
him a $100 bill and get back
00:44:39.51\00:44:42.58
and just, just when you
pray that Lord opens up doors
00:44:42.61\00:44:45.81
and it's just amazing
when you get that opportunity
00:44:45.85\00:44:47.92
to really witness to somebody.
00:44:47.95\00:44:49.28
You don't know what
impact that little moment makes.
00:44:49.32\00:44:51.75
And, you know, I'm thinking,
00:44:51.79\00:44:53.22
we would love to like
have this gentleman's,
00:44:53.25\00:44:56.56
the rest of the story.
00:44:56.59\00:44:58.03
And we won't get the rest
of story until we turn it.
00:44:58.06\00:45:00.96
Amen. So we get there--
00:45:01.00\00:45:02.33
But someday we will get
the rest of that story. Yeah.
00:45:02.36\00:45:05.90
God is good.
00:45:05.93\00:45:07.27
I was on the way to Alabama
00:45:07.30\00:45:10.67
and I didn't
pick up hitchhikers.
00:45:10.71\00:45:12.84
We traveled so much
00:45:12.87\00:45:14.21
and traveled at
night a lot times.
00:45:14.24\00:45:15.58
I just didn't
pick up hitchhikers
00:45:15.61\00:45:17.65
and there was a guy hitchhiking
on the side of the road
00:45:17.68\00:45:20.72
in Paducah, Kentucky,
00:45:20.75\00:45:23.49
and the Lord spoke to
me and said, "Pick him up."
00:45:23.52\00:45:25.25
I said, "No." And then
Lord said, "Pick him up."
00:45:25.29\00:45:26.86
I said, "No" and the Lord said,
00:45:26.89\00:45:28.82
"Pick him up or
you'll be toast."
00:45:28.86\00:45:31.73
And so, no, not really
but, ow! Quit hitting me.
00:45:31.76\00:45:36.73
But the Lord did not
tell you, you will be toasted.
00:45:36.77\00:45:38.37
No, He didn't say
I would be toasted
00:45:38.40\00:45:40.04
but I pulled
over and picked him up
00:45:40.07\00:45:42.00
and when he started
running for the car,
00:45:42.04\00:45:43.81
he held his hand on
his jacket, on his belt
00:45:43.84\00:45:48.51
and the first
thing I thought was,
00:45:48.54\00:45:51.08
"Oh, no. He's got
a gun in his belt."
00:45:51.11\00:45:55.55
He went at the car,
and he opened the door
00:45:55.58\00:45:57.65
and then Lord
said, "Witness to him."
00:45:57.69\00:45:59.12
He opened the door and I
said, "I want you to know
00:45:59.15\00:46:00.99
that I am listening
to a Christian tape,
00:46:01.02\00:46:02.62
a Christian CD
00:46:02.66\00:46:03.99
and if you get in
here, and you ride.
00:46:04.03\00:46:05.56
Where are you
going? Hopkinsville.
00:46:05.59\00:46:06.93
If you get in here,
00:46:06.96\00:46:08.30
you are gonna listen that
all the way to Hopkinsville,
00:46:08.33\00:46:09.66
and you are
gonna hear about Jesus
00:46:09.70\00:46:11.03
so we listened to the
CD for a little while.
00:46:11.07\00:46:13.64
I turned it off,
00:46:13.67\00:46:15.00
back then I
think it was the tape,
00:46:15.04\00:46:16.37
but I turned it off and
started telling him about Jesus,
00:46:16.40\00:46:19.44
just talking to him about Jesus.
00:46:19.47\00:46:21.91
Witnessing to him,
telling him our testimony.
00:46:21.94\00:46:24.71
Your testimony is the most
powerful thing that you have.
00:46:24.75\00:46:27.82
Tell him about Jesus
00:46:27.85\00:46:29.32
but tell him if you've
been there on both sides
00:46:29.35\00:46:31.99
if you've been there.
00:46:32.02\00:46:33.36
So I told him all about that
and he got tears in his eyes.
00:46:33.39\00:46:36.02
We stopped at Hopkinsville
00:46:36.06\00:46:37.93
and I felt like the Lord told me
00:46:37.96\00:46:39.29
to give him some money.
00:46:39.33\00:46:41.13
I had a five in my billfold,
I had a twenty in my billfold,
00:46:41.16\00:46:46.47
and I had a hundred.
00:46:46.50\00:46:48.50
Which one do you think
God told me to give him?
00:46:48.54\00:46:51.04
So I handed it to him
00:46:51.07\00:46:52.41
and he just
almost started crying
00:46:52.44\00:46:54.41
and he said, "I want to
show you something, Hal."
00:46:54.44\00:46:56.28
And he opened up his jacket
00:46:56.31\00:46:59.31
and he had a
pistol in his jacket.
00:46:59.35\00:47:03.49
And he said, "I've
been trying to get a job.
00:47:03.52\00:47:05.95
Couldn't get a job.
00:47:05.99\00:47:07.42
My family has no
groceries, hungry.
00:47:07.46\00:47:12.76
I've got three kids
00:47:12.79\00:47:14.13
and I got in this car with
the intention of robbing you."
00:47:14.16\00:47:16.36
Oh, wow.
00:47:16.40\00:47:17.73
But he said back there,
just the ways when you were
00:47:17.77\00:47:19.73
talking about Jesus
and how He had blessed you,
00:47:19.77\00:47:22.74
this is what I
knew that I needed.
00:47:22.77\00:47:25.71
So I ask Jesus into my heart.
00:47:25.74\00:47:29.41
Instead of getting
shot I got a blessing
00:47:29.44\00:47:32.85
and he got a
blessing too so as a matter.
00:47:32.88\00:47:35.28
You know, Nadya told me a story
about her mother in Russia.
00:47:35.32\00:47:38.59
Just-- you don't have
to witness all the time,
00:47:38.62\00:47:40.72
just be a Christian.
00:47:40.76\00:47:42.09
Yeah. And her
family just had a garden.
00:47:42.12\00:47:45.76
Were nice people in Russia
00:47:45.79\00:47:47.13
and when it
came time they moved.
00:47:47.16\00:47:49.16
But there is a
lady who would always
00:47:49.20\00:47:50.53
walk by their house
00:47:50.57\00:47:51.90
and one day, they weren't there.
00:47:51.93\00:47:53.27
She asked around
where did they go.
00:47:53.30\00:47:55.10
"Oh, he's a pastor and
he moved to another place."
00:47:55.14\00:47:57.74
And she's like, ''Oh,
what church did they go to?"
00:47:57.77\00:47:59.87
I want to know
where these people work
00:47:59.91\00:48:01.34
because they are all
the time they just talk
00:48:01.38\00:48:04.11
and she would walk by
and the mom would talk.
00:48:04.15\00:48:05.71
Yeah, my mom was a little shy,
you know, even pastor's wife
00:48:05.75\00:48:09.38
but she was kind of, you
know, shy to speak to people,
00:48:09.42\00:48:12.62
you know, and
being in front and speak
00:48:12.65\00:48:15.66
but she was always smiling
just saying hi, and just smile.
00:48:15.69\00:48:19.59
Sometimes give
something from the garden,
00:48:19.63\00:48:21.53
pick some flowers
and give to people.
00:48:21.56\00:48:23.90
It's how people learn
about God then came to Jesus.
00:48:23.93\00:48:28.00
She showed them Jesus. Yes.
00:48:28.04\00:48:29.37
But she became an Adventist
00:48:29.40\00:48:30.74
and you said someone else
became a pastor that she knew?
00:48:30.77\00:48:33.91
Yeah, another friend also was
passing, looking at her smiling
00:48:33.94\00:48:37.35
and then he became a
deacon and pastor now.
00:48:37.38\00:48:40.08
He's still in
church being pastor.
00:48:40.12\00:48:42.25
Praise God. Wow.
00:48:42.28\00:48:43.79
We hope that some thing,
00:48:43.82\00:48:45.39
we still got just
a little bit of time,
00:48:45.42\00:48:46.86
but we are gonna go with
00:48:46.89\00:48:48.22
some prayer request
here in just a moment.
00:48:48.26\00:48:49.59
We hope
something that we have said
00:48:49.62\00:48:52.03
has sparked something in
you that you can be a witness.
00:48:52.06\00:48:56.33
You don't have to be an elder,
you don't have be a deacon,
00:48:56.36\00:48:59.13
just a child of God
and God will be with you
00:48:59.17\00:49:01.60
and God will honor that
00:49:01.64\00:49:03.41
and the Holy
Spirit will lead you.
00:49:03.44\00:49:05.24
You know, I did want to say
we have a couple of instances
00:49:05.27\00:49:09.04
here where people
picked up hitchhikers
00:49:09.08\00:49:11.41
and I know that's a
dangerous thing to do
00:49:11.45\00:49:14.12
but listen to what each
one of these situations say it.
00:49:14.15\00:49:18.42
Initially which was
the spirit of the Lord
00:49:18.45\00:49:20.56
prompted your heart.
00:49:20.59\00:49:21.92
We never picked up hitchhiker.
00:49:21.96\00:49:23.43
Yeah, and be led by
the spirit of the Lord.
00:49:23.46\00:49:26.90
When you step
out and do something
00:49:26.93\00:49:29.73
that might be a little different
00:49:29.76\00:49:31.10
than what you normally do.
00:49:31.13\00:49:32.50
And how this
witnessing and going out,
00:49:32.53\00:49:35.27
you know, the
scripture we looked at initially
00:49:35.30\00:49:38.14
that Great Commission.
00:49:38.17\00:49:39.67
First and foremost,
He gives you the power,
00:49:39.71\00:49:42.24
He gives you the authority,
00:49:42.28\00:49:43.88
He invest that
into us, His followers
00:49:43.91\00:49:47.12
and then He
gives us the commission
00:49:47.15\00:49:49.18
which is to just go
tell people about Jesus.
00:49:49.22\00:49:51.65
Hal said it earlier,
00:49:51.69\00:49:53.02
your personal testimony
is the most powerful thing
00:49:53.05\00:49:55.66
you have to share
and He's with you.
00:49:55.69\00:49:58.59
He's gonna be with you always.
00:49:58.63\00:50:00.26
I remember the first time
I tried to speak publicly.
00:50:00.30\00:50:05.53
I was so frightened that
I couldn't get enough air
00:50:05.57\00:50:09.80
in my lungs to push a word out.
00:50:09.84\00:50:12.11
Now, you all won't
gonna believe that today
00:50:12.14\00:50:14.38
but I wasn't a public speaker.
00:50:14.41\00:50:17.41
I couldn't speak
in front of people.
00:50:17.45\00:50:19.25
She got sick after she spoke.
00:50:19.28\00:50:20.78
One time I spoke I got--
00:50:20.82\00:50:22.48
before I spoke, Hal,
00:50:22.52\00:50:24.02
the first speaking
engagement ever had.
00:50:24.05\00:50:26.05
Hal accepted it for me
00:50:26.09\00:50:28.22
and so then I had to do it and--
00:50:28.26\00:50:30.73
There were several
hundred women before us.
00:50:30.76\00:50:33.19
I got a migraine headache
00:50:33.23\00:50:34.56
and threw up two
times before I spoke.
00:50:34.60\00:50:37.33
So it's a process
00:50:37.37\00:50:39.47
and what you do
is yield to the Lord.
00:50:39.50\00:50:42.44
And ask Him to help you
00:50:42.47\00:50:44.64
and He'll be with you
every step of the way.
00:50:44.67\00:50:46.88
Yes, as we usher in
the Sabbath tonight,
00:50:46.91\00:50:50.95
welcoming the presence
of God and the Holy Spirit
00:50:50.98\00:50:54.28
and you do go to the Church
tomorrow and Sabbath school,
00:50:54.32\00:50:58.12
I hope Ellen White
said, that's where the really,
00:50:58.15\00:51:01.96
the need of it all, not
the little, little sermon.
00:51:01.99\00:51:04.86
But don't forget
tomorrow afternoon
00:51:04.89\00:51:07.10
if the Lord
prompts you to go somewhere
00:51:07.13\00:51:09.46
and speak to somebody or sick,
visit somebody or share him.
00:51:09.50\00:51:14.30
Go to nursing
home. Nursing homes.
00:51:14.34\00:51:15.94
We've got a few prayer requests,
00:51:15.97\00:51:17.57
we are gonna move through here.
00:51:17.61\00:51:19.11
Robert's gonna read
00:51:19.14\00:51:20.48
and then we are gonna
have a word of prayer.
00:51:20.51\00:51:22.11
Okay, we have a Kay from Canada,
00:51:22.14\00:51:24.68
is requesting a special prayer
for her son-in-law, Rodney.
00:51:24.71\00:51:27.85
He's been diagnosed with cancer.
00:51:27.88\00:51:30.32
Genevieve in
California is a 101 years young
00:51:30.35\00:51:34.09
but her son at the age of 70
00:51:34.12\00:51:35.49
has cut off all
communication with her.
00:51:35.52\00:51:37.16
So she requests prayer
00:51:37.19\00:51:38.69
that her son would renew
the communication with her.
00:51:38.73\00:51:42.10
Bob in Florida is an
active witness for the Lord
00:51:42.13\00:51:44.43
and giving out
Bible studies in his area.
00:51:44.47\00:51:46.80
He requests praying for those
he has shared his studies with,
00:51:46.84\00:51:50.71
that the Holy Spirit
will move upon their hearts
00:51:50.74\00:51:52.54
to make a decision for Christ.
00:51:52.57\00:51:54.88
Silverstein in Illinois
is praying for a miracle.
00:51:54.91\00:51:58.11
Yes.Yes. We know them.
00:51:58.15\00:52:00.18
Her precious husband Mike
00:52:00.22\00:52:01.55
was seriously in
need of God's mercy
00:52:01.58\00:52:02.92
and grace due to heart issues.
00:52:02.95\00:52:05.85
Elaine in Texas is
combating a serious issue.
00:52:05.89\00:52:08.89
She is recouping-- is
recouping from illness
00:52:08.92\00:52:11.96
and wants to
know more about Jesus.
00:52:11.99\00:52:13.90
Vernal in New Jersey is
struggling with work issues
00:52:13.93\00:52:16.30
that seemed to be overwhelming.
00:52:16.33\00:52:17.97
In addition she is
concerned for her sons
00:52:18.00\00:52:19.90
and is pleading with
God for their salvation.
00:52:19.93\00:52:22.50
Nancy in California is
asking for our prayers.
00:52:22.54\00:52:25.47
Her mother has consented
to study God's word with her.
00:52:25.51\00:52:29.14
And Rosanna in California
is suffering with arthritis,
00:52:29.18\00:52:33.28
arthritis in her legs and
hips that limits her mobility.
00:52:33.31\00:52:36.89
She wants to regain her mobility
00:52:36.92\00:52:38.65
so she can continue to
be a witness for her family.
00:52:38.69\00:52:41.22
Amen. Amen.
00:52:41.26\00:52:42.59
We need to take these people
and others before the Lord.
00:52:42.62\00:52:46.06
You are watching
tonight and you do have prayer.
00:52:46.09\00:52:49.70
You know, we are
not your high priest,
00:52:49.73\00:52:51.63
Jesus is your high priest
00:52:51.67\00:52:53.00
but what we do is
we agree with that.
00:52:53.03\00:52:55.57
Now you are saying, "Well,
you are there and I'm here."
00:52:55.60\00:52:59.31
Well, the Word of God
in 1 Corinthians 6:17 says,
00:52:59.34\00:53:01.04
"He who is joined to the
Lord is one spirit with God."
00:53:01.08\00:53:03.51
That means that we
are joined at the hip,
00:53:03.55\00:53:06.08
one father, different mothers.
00:53:06.11\00:53:08.18
So wherever you are,
00:53:08.22\00:53:09.58
by the Spirit of God
we are joined with you.
00:53:09.62\00:53:12.35
So we can agree
with you in prayer.
00:53:12.39\00:53:14.99
I'm gonna ask Don if
he will to pray and then,
00:53:15.02\00:53:18.39
I'm gonna ask
Mollie, if she will to pray.
00:53:18.43\00:53:22.10
And we are gonna
believe, we are going to trust
00:53:22.13\00:53:23.87
and rely on the
Spirit of God to touch you,
00:53:23.90\00:53:26.03
no matter how
many miles between us,
00:53:26.07\00:53:28.07
even in Russia and Ukraine.
00:53:28.10\00:53:30.94
And I am thinking of all
of these prayer requests,
00:53:30.97\00:53:33.31
maybe one of them
really touched your heart.
00:53:33.34\00:53:36.08
And if it did
that, we are asking
00:53:36.11\00:53:37.88
that you join with us in prayer
00:53:37.91\00:53:39.88
but also take these
prayer needs as well,
00:53:39.91\00:53:42.82
for one can put a thousand,
00:53:42.85\00:53:45.09
two can put ten
thousand, so join with us.
00:53:45.12\00:53:48.89
We're gonna bow our
heads in prayer. Yes.
00:53:48.92\00:53:51.33
O, Heavenly Father,
Lord of all creation,
00:53:51.36\00:53:54.53
Lord, we are
amazed by how you Lord,
00:53:54.56\00:53:58.30
have plucked us
out and each one of us
00:53:58.33\00:54:00.34
have brought us to this
truth, Lord, in this time.
00:54:00.37\00:54:03.74
Amazing journey
that You placed us on
00:54:03.77\00:54:05.64
and how You are wanting to
get your children back home.
00:54:05.67\00:54:08.41
Lord, we just thank
You for this opportunity
00:54:08.44\00:54:10.41
to spent this Friday night,
the Sabbath eve with You, Lord.
00:54:10.45\00:54:13.92
On Your glorious day
that You have sanctify
00:54:13.95\00:54:16.25
and set apart
for holy use, Lord.
00:54:16.28\00:54:18.59
We should go out to be
"repairers of the breach
00:54:18.62\00:54:20.76
and restorers of the past dwell"
00:54:20.79\00:54:22.42
as You say in Isaiah 58:12.
00:54:22.46\00:54:24.26
Lord, You have heard
these powerful requests
00:54:24.29\00:54:27.90
and the testimonies shared
uplifting You, Lord, in praise.
00:54:27.93\00:54:31.53
We know that
there's a time coming
00:54:31.57\00:54:33.64
when our all eyes will
be drawn upon the skies
00:54:33.67\00:54:35.90
and see You break forth
00:54:35.94\00:54:37.41
and take us home to
be where You are, Lord.
00:54:37.44\00:54:40.14
Now we can finally
say this is our God,
00:54:40.18\00:54:41.94
we have waited for Him
and there are so many, Lord,
00:54:41.98\00:54:43.71
suffering right now many across,
00:54:43.75\00:54:46.51
not only this United States,
but across the entire world.
00:54:46.55\00:54:49.62
And I'm thinking of Japan, Lord,
00:54:49.65\00:54:51.45
the floods that it experienced.
00:54:51.49\00:54:53.02
Just pray, Lord, that You will
touch them and help them, Lord,
00:54:53.05\00:54:55.92
and also those who
were lifted tonight,
00:54:55.96\00:54:58.59
thinking about
this lady that her son
00:54:58.63\00:55:01.00
had been separated
communication for 70 years.
00:55:01.03\00:55:04.07
That's a long time, Lord.
00:55:04.10\00:55:05.83
We know that You are
able to break down barriers
00:55:05.87\00:55:08.17
that You can break down
prejudice, hurts and pains.
00:55:08.20\00:55:12.11
I just pray to open her
hearts and give it to You, Lord,
00:55:12.14\00:55:14.74
and also
concerning the bearers Lord,
00:55:14.78\00:55:17.68
Michael and Celestine,
you know, that situation
00:55:17.71\00:55:20.55
and also those, Lord,
that are listening tonight.
00:55:20.58\00:55:22.75
Maybe they are making a
decision for the first time.
00:55:22.78\00:55:25.49
I want to keep the
Sabbath. I want to know how.
00:55:25.52\00:55:27.86
I pray, Lord, that You
will open up the word to them
00:55:27.89\00:55:30.16
and as I've never
seen it before, Lord,
00:55:30.19\00:55:31.96
we know what Your spirit is
mighty and powerful to save.
00:55:31.99\00:55:34.83
We just pray
that You're anointing
00:55:34.86\00:55:36.20
each one listening tonight,
00:55:36.23\00:55:37.57
each one here present that,
Lord, Your spirit will move
00:55:37.60\00:55:40.70
and that, Lord, this
time that is soon upon us,
00:55:40.74\00:55:43.04
so we will have
this strength and courage
00:55:43.07\00:55:44.54
to go out and
witness to the world
00:55:44.57\00:55:46.91
that Your gospel
can save and heal
00:55:46.94\00:55:49.04
and bring those lost sons
and daughters back in the fold.
00:55:49.08\00:55:51.48
We pray this in a
powerful, precious,
00:55:51.51\00:55:53.78
wonderful name of
Jesus Christ, amen.
00:55:53.82\00:55:56.75
Thank you, Father.
00:55:56.79\00:55:58.12
And, Father, we bring
before Your throne of grace
00:55:58.15\00:56:00.46
all of our
viewers and our listeners
00:56:00.49\00:56:02.56
and those needs that are
so heavy upon their hearts.
00:56:02.59\00:56:06.59
Father, we stand them
before You and ask, O, Lord,
00:56:06.63\00:56:09.30
that you would
touch everyone of them.
00:56:09.33\00:56:10.90
Draw them, Lord, closer to You.
00:56:10.93\00:56:12.73
These prayer needs
that we just heard,
00:56:12.77\00:56:14.90
Father, we thank You
that Your ear isn't deaf
00:56:14.94\00:56:17.07
nor Your arms
shortened, but, Father,
00:56:17.11\00:56:18.87
You are actively
moving on behalf of those
00:56:18.91\00:56:22.28
that have such
a need before You.
00:56:22.31\00:56:24.18
Now we commend
them unto Your hands,
00:56:24.21\00:56:25.71
we praise You
and thank You, Lord,
00:56:25.75\00:56:27.52
for Your
presence, for Your grace
00:56:27.55\00:56:28.98
and Your mercy and
Your goodness to us.
00:56:29.02\00:56:30.79
Thank you, Lord,
00:56:30.82\00:56:32.15
that Your grace and
mercy has renewed every morning
00:56:32.19\00:56:34.32
and, Lord, we can rely
on You and depend on You,
00:56:34.36\00:56:37.23
now we commend our lives
and our hearts into your hands
00:56:37.26\00:56:40.00
and ask You, Lord, to direct
our steps in our thoughts.
00:56:40.03\00:56:43.33
In Jesus' name, amen. Amen.
00:56:43.37\00:56:45.67
The Word of God says,
"Study to shew yourself
00:56:45.70\00:56:47.70
approved unto God, a
workman that not to be ashamed
00:56:47.74\00:56:50.17
but rightly
dividing the word of truth."
00:56:50.21\00:56:52.41
Witness said rightly if
you couldn't wrongly divide it.
00:56:52.44\00:56:55.14
So be sure rightly
divide the word of truth
00:56:55.18\00:56:58.58
and study to shew
yourself approved.
00:56:58.61\00:57:01.05
Find out what keeping the
Sabbath holy really means.
00:57:01.08\00:57:04.95
It's more than just
going to church on Sabbaths,
00:57:04.99\00:57:07.09
we've shared that.
00:57:07.12\00:57:08.49
It's more than just
going to Sabbath school.
00:57:08.52\00:57:11.76
You're starting out here tonight
00:57:11.79\00:57:13.56
and this could be a new
experience for your life,
00:57:13.60\00:57:16.90
this could be a new era,
00:57:16.93\00:57:19.53
a dawning of a new
day and new understanding.
00:57:19.57\00:57:22.20
So take advantage of that
00:57:22.24\00:57:24.64
and allow the spirit
of the Lord to lead you,
00:57:24.67\00:57:27.21
guide you, and direct
you into keeping the Sabbath,
00:57:27.24\00:57:31.35
remembering it
and keeping it holy.
00:57:31.38\00:57:34.18
God bless you, keep the
faith. Amen. Amen. Amen.
00:57:34.22\00:57:37.72
