00:00:07.54\00:00:12.54
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.57\00:00:18.85
Removing pain
00:00:18.88\00:00:23.85
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.89\00:00:29.86
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.89\00:00:34.63
I want to spend my life

Hello, and welcome to
3ABN's Family Worship.
00:01:08.70\00:01:12.10
Happy Sabbath,
00:01:12.13\00:01:13.47
we are so thrilled to
come into your home tonight
00:01:13.50\00:01:17.17
and to start the
Sabbath with you.
00:01:17.21\00:01:19.51
And we have a
wonderful panel of 3ABN Family.
00:01:19.54\00:01:23.04
A little bit of a
blood family with us.
00:01:23.08\00:01:26.05
And I'm anxious to
go around the table
00:01:26.08\00:01:28.08
and tell you who they are.
00:01:28.12\00:01:29.82
To my left is,
00:01:29.85\00:01:31.19
Sister Angela and her
husband Pastor John Lomacang.
00:01:31.22\00:01:34.69
Guys, what do
you guys do at 3ABN
00:01:34.72\00:01:36.86
like nobody knows but...
00:01:36.89\00:01:39.56
Well, I work at 3ABN Radio.
00:01:39.59\00:01:42.90
And I, what do I do? I edit.
00:01:42.93\00:01:45.43
I host a program
called Crossroads.
00:01:45.47\00:01:48.20
And it's just a
privilege and honor
00:01:48.24\00:01:50.44
to be a part of this ministry.
00:01:50.47\00:01:52.07
And I'm privileged and honored
to be here for family worship.
00:01:52.11\00:01:55.34
I know I enjoy listening to
you as I'm going down the road,
00:01:55.38\00:01:58.71
lots of interesting interviews
00:01:58.75\00:02:00.98
you have done
and what a blessing.
00:02:01.02\00:02:02.65
The Lord has given me
00:02:02.68\00:02:04.02
great people, great testimonies.
00:02:04.05\00:02:06.49
Pastor John, do you
do anything at 3ABN?
00:02:06.52\00:02:10.66
I fill in every now and then.
00:02:10.69\00:02:13.09
I go on House
Calls, and A Sharper Focus,
00:02:13.13\00:02:16.43
and Today program,
00:02:16.46\00:02:18.20
and whatever else the
Lord allowed me to do.
00:02:18.23\00:02:19.57
Evangelism. Evangelism.
00:02:19.60\00:02:22.20
Singing. Pastor of the church.
00:02:22.24\00:02:23.57
Yes, all kind of
things. And I enjoy it.
00:02:23.61\00:02:25.74
But, today I'm glad to be
00:02:25.77\00:02:27.14
kind of not in
the anchor's seat,
00:02:27.18\00:02:28.94
but to be here with you
and Kenny, Pastor Kenny.
00:02:28.98\00:02:30.71
Well, we thank...
00:02:30.75\00:02:32.08
Well, you are a
part of our anchor,
00:02:32.11\00:02:33.48
so we're really
thankful to have you.
00:02:33.52\00:02:35.72
And then over to my right,
00:02:35.75\00:02:37.52
Pastor Kenny is a
beautiful young lady.
00:02:37.55\00:02:41.02
Yeah, and I think
she's a little blood,
00:02:41.06\00:02:43.86
a little blood or two.
00:02:43.89\00:02:45.83
Well, I feel like
everybody's blood around here,
00:02:45.86\00:02:48.03
you know, it's good.
00:02:48.06\00:02:49.66
Is that your baby
sister? That's my baby sister.
00:02:49.70\00:02:51.37
That's right. That's right.
00:02:51.40\00:02:52.73
I'm the baby. Let's
be clear, let's be clear.
00:02:52.77\00:02:58.11
I'm the only so I
would be the baby...
00:02:58.14\00:03:00.68
You know, that's right.
00:03:00.71\00:03:02.04
And his favorite.
00:03:02.08\00:03:03.85
She's my
favorite. Oh, that's right.
00:03:03.88\00:03:06.05
One and only. That's right.
00:03:06.08\00:03:07.42
And of course Bruce, you know...
00:03:07.45\00:03:09.52
My husband. Yeah,
your husband Bruce.
00:03:09.55\00:03:11.12
And what a blessing
it's been over the years.
00:03:11.15\00:03:14.49
Bruce been a blessing to us
00:03:14.52\00:03:15.86
and you've been
a blessing to us.
00:03:15.89\00:03:17.43
And Lomacang's had
been a blessing to us.
00:03:17.46\00:03:20.16
So it's good to be able to
have blessings around the table.
00:03:20.20\00:03:22.23
That's right.
00:03:22.26\00:03:23.60
And tonight we're
going to talk about
00:03:23.63\00:03:25.50
angel's armor and promises.
00:03:25.53\00:03:28.40
And to open our
program before we have prayer,
00:03:28.44\00:03:31.34
let me just read this.
00:03:31.37\00:03:32.87
It's found in Acts
of the Apostles page,
00:03:32.91\00:03:35.58
154 and it reads,
00:03:35.61\00:03:38.15
"We need to understand
00:03:38.18\00:03:39.65
better than we do
the mission of angels."
00:03:39.68\00:03:42.18
So I'm looking
forward to hearing
00:03:42.22\00:03:43.62
some angel stories here tonight.
00:03:43.65\00:03:45.25
I don't know
00:03:45.29\00:03:46.62
if we'll get to the
armor and the promises,
00:03:46.65\00:03:48.19
but I think, I'm looking forward
00:03:48.22\00:03:50.13
to some angel's stories.
00:03:50.16\00:03:52.39
"It would be well to remember
that every true child of God
00:03:52.43\00:03:56.50
has co-operation
of heavenly beings."
00:03:56.53\00:03:59.33
What a promise. We
can stop right there.
00:03:59.37\00:04:01.94
What a promise, how neat.
00:04:01.97\00:04:04.11
Invisible armies
of light and power
00:04:04.14\00:04:06.84
attend the meek and lowly ones
00:04:06.88\00:04:08.98
who believe to
claim the promises of God.
00:04:09.01\00:04:11.91
Cherubim and Seraphim,
00:04:11.95\00:04:13.72
and the angels
that excel in strength,
00:04:13.75\00:04:16.02
stand at God's right hand,
00:04:16.05\00:04:17.79
'all ministering spirit
sent forth to minister for them
00:04:17.82\00:04:21.99
who shall listen to this,
00:04:22.02\00:04:23.73
who shall be
heirs of salvation."
00:04:23.76\00:04:27.80
Isn't that
beautiful? God has not left us.
00:04:27.83\00:04:30.97
In fact, I kind of
give it a subtitle,
00:04:31.00\00:04:33.64
Angel armor and promises
and arsenal of heavenly power.
00:04:33.67\00:04:39.71
Pastor Kenny, would you
open our study tonight with...
00:04:39.74\00:04:42.08
Absolutely!
00:04:42.11\00:04:43.45
So we're going to invite
those of you home please,
00:04:43.48\00:04:45.05
pray along with us you know,
00:04:45.08\00:04:46.41
you may have an opportunity
to get on your knees,
00:04:46.45\00:04:47.78
you may not be able to do that,
00:04:47.82\00:04:49.22
there are some
who will be listening
00:04:49.25\00:04:50.59
and others will be watching,
00:04:50.62\00:04:51.95
but we're so happy
that you have joined us.
00:04:51.99\00:04:53.92
And we want you to pray with us,
00:04:53.96\00:04:55.29
we need the power
of the Holy Spirit.
00:04:55.32\00:04:56.66
So would you pray with us? Amen.
00:04:56.69\00:04:58.53
Our loving Father in heaven,
00:04:58.56\00:04:59.89
we thank You for
another Sabbath day.
00:04:59.93\00:05:01.40
We thank You for
Your precious love
00:05:01.43\00:05:03.43
that You have for
each and every one of us.
00:05:03.47\00:05:05.67
Lord, already our
hearts have been touched
00:05:05.70\00:05:08.24
as we've read about
these ministering angels
00:05:08.27\00:05:11.31
that you've assigned one
to each and every one of us
00:05:11.34\00:05:13.78
to watch over
every step that we take.
00:05:13.81\00:05:16.48
Lord, we're very
grateful and thankful for that.
00:05:16.51\00:05:19.41
Now, we pray for the
power of thy Holy Spirit
00:05:19.45\00:05:21.45
to consume each and
every one of your children
00:05:21.48\00:05:23.39
here around this table.
00:05:23.42\00:05:24.95
Lord, we want to
know more about You,
00:05:24.99\00:05:26.62
we want to learn more
about these ministering angels
00:05:26.65\00:05:29.69
that are to guide,
and guard, and protect,
00:05:29.72\00:05:31.89
and to help us
00:05:31.93\00:05:33.26
just shows us sign
of love from heaven
00:05:33.29\00:05:35.23
that's coming down upon us.
00:05:35.26\00:05:36.60
And so, Lord, we pray
now that You'll bless those
00:05:36.63\00:05:38.83
that are at
home, those listening,
00:05:38.87\00:05:40.40
those who are watching,
00:05:40.44\00:05:41.84
those who maybe have
had a very difficult week,
00:05:41.87\00:05:43.87
but as they take
this time now to sit down
00:05:43.91\00:05:46.78
and let the cares
of this world pass by.
00:05:46.81\00:05:49.04
We pray that each one of
us will bask in Your love
00:05:49.08\00:05:51.48
and in Your presence.
00:05:51.51\00:05:53.01
May the Holy Spirit now descend
upon each one of our hearts
00:05:53.05\00:05:55.75
and our minds
and may we be lifted
00:05:55.78\00:05:57.79
as it were to the
very throne room of God.
00:05:57.82\00:05:59.92
We're to come boldly
to the throne room of God.
00:05:59.95\00:06:02.46
Not because of who we are,
but because of Jesus Christ.
00:06:02.49\00:06:06.09
Bless now, we pray
every word that said and done.
00:06:06.13\00:06:08.93
May each one of us hide
behind the cross of Calvary,
00:06:08.96\00:06:11.23
may only Jesus
be seen and heard.
00:06:11.27\00:06:13.54
This is what we need to do
00:06:13.57\00:06:14.90
and we're going to
thank You in advance.
00:06:14.94\00:06:16.30
And thank You for
the precious souls now
00:06:16.34\00:06:17.97
that join with us
in Jesus' name, amen.
00:06:18.01\00:06:20.48
Amen.
00:06:20.51\00:06:21.84
You know, family at home,
and family around the table,
00:06:21.88\00:06:25.18
there are many times
that we may be in the presence
00:06:25.21\00:06:27.98
of angels and never know it.
00:06:28.02\00:06:30.62
But, you know, as he was praying
00:06:30.65\00:06:31.99
and talking about being
in the throne room of heaven,
00:06:32.02\00:06:35.32
I was thinking about some times
00:06:35.36\00:06:37.53
where I felt that I
was and I did see an angel.
00:06:37.56\00:06:41.53
And, you know, at those times,
00:06:41.56\00:06:44.20
you get a feeling like
00:06:44.23\00:06:45.73
you're in a heavenly atmosphere.
00:06:45.77\00:06:47.80
Oh, absolutely.
00:06:47.84\00:06:49.17
And I'm going to read here,
00:06:49.20\00:06:50.54
I know I've
shared with you viewers
00:06:50.57\00:06:51.97
not too long ago
00:06:52.01\00:06:53.41
back at the
beginning of this year,
00:06:53.44\00:06:54.91
Pastor Kenney had
had a health crisis,
00:06:54.94\00:06:58.15
and we were stuck in Florida.
00:06:58.18\00:07:00.02
And one night, I won't
tell you all the details,
00:07:00.05\00:07:02.35
but one night in the
middle of the night they came,
00:07:02.38\00:07:04.62
and they told us get up
00:07:04.65\00:07:06.19
because we were
going to be transported,
00:07:06.22\00:07:08.36
and this was about one
o'clock in the morning.
00:07:08.39\00:07:10.29
We're going to be transported
00:07:10.33\00:07:11.66
from one hospital
to another hospital
00:07:11.69\00:07:13.96
in downtown Orlando.
00:07:14.00\00:07:16.46
And I thought,
00:07:16.50\00:07:17.83
"Wow, it was tough enough for me
00:07:17.87\00:07:19.63
to get out and drive
00:07:19.67\00:07:21.00
during the daytime in that city,
00:07:21.04\00:07:23.51
but here it was at night."
00:07:23.54\00:07:24.91
And I had like at
least four bags I believe,
00:07:24.94\00:07:27.78
there were a couple of bags
and couple pieces of luggage
00:07:27.81\00:07:31.28
and to make a long story
short, I was a little bit leery.
00:07:31.31\00:07:35.32
But the beautiful
thing is the ambulance driver
00:07:35.35\00:07:38.49
he looked at me,
00:07:38.52\00:07:39.85
and they weren't
supposed to take our luggage,
00:07:39.89\00:07:41.56
but one reached out
and he took a luggage,
00:07:41.59\00:07:43.93
one reached out and took a bag.
00:07:43.96\00:07:45.29
So that gave me just,
00:07:45.33\00:07:47.10
you know, two
armfuls to carry out
00:07:47.13\00:07:49.60
into the parking lot.
00:07:49.63\00:07:50.97
And as I was
departing and leaving you,
00:07:51.00\00:07:55.47
and going down
out of the hospital,
00:07:55.50\00:07:57.47
I remember because
00:07:57.51\00:07:58.84
I had read in Spirit of Prophecy
00:07:58.87\00:08:00.51
where Mrs. White was told,
00:08:00.54\00:08:02.08
you know, it in
certain instances
00:08:02.11\00:08:03.88
that you can call
for an extra angel.
00:08:03.91\00:08:06.65
And I felt that in
my heart that night
00:08:06.68\00:08:08.88
and I just remember
walking through the corridor
00:08:08.92\00:08:11.82
and almost to
the door and I said,
00:08:11.85\00:08:13.36
"Lord, please
send an extra angel
00:08:13.39\00:08:16.62
if I need any."
00:08:16.66\00:08:18.23
And so I went,
and I got in the car,
00:08:18.26\00:08:19.86
everything was fine, everything,
00:08:19.89\00:08:21.23
you know, was
kind of dark out there,
00:08:21.26\00:08:22.60
but I waited at the front gate
00:08:22.63\00:08:24.27
for that
ambulance to come around.
00:08:24.30\00:08:25.97
And they didn't
even slow down to tell me
00:08:26.00\00:08:27.77
if that was the
right one or not.
00:08:27.80\00:08:29.70
And so I'm following through
and trying to get close enough
00:08:29.74\00:08:34.54
'cause they had
all their lights on
00:08:34.58\00:08:35.91
and I thought,
00:08:35.94\00:08:37.28
"Oh, wow, what if
he's not in this one."
00:08:37.31\00:08:39.38
And I just kept
trying to get a close up,
00:08:39.41\00:08:42.08
a close up, they
were whizzing past,
00:08:42.12\00:08:43.79
you know how it is in Florida,
00:08:43.82\00:08:45.35
you're always the tolls
00:08:45.39\00:08:46.72
and I didn't
stopped at any tolls,
00:08:46.76\00:08:48.42
I stayed right
behind that ambulance.
00:08:48.46\00:08:50.46
And I finally got close
enough and I looked in there
00:08:50.49\00:08:52.93
and I thought, "Oh,
good, that's right."
00:08:52.96\00:08:54.30
When I looked to
him and I thought,
00:08:54.33\00:08:56.00
"He's in there
having a Bible study."
00:08:56.03\00:08:58.37
And sure enough he
was. Praise the Lord.
00:08:58.40\00:09:01.14
And I was so thankful
that they let me follow
00:09:01.17\00:09:03.97
'cause there was
so much construction
00:09:04.01\00:09:05.91
and wiggling and waggling.
00:09:05.94\00:09:07.74
And you drove
with me in Florida,
00:09:07.78\00:09:09.34
and I wasn't the best
driver in Florida, was I, Tam?
00:09:09.38\00:09:11.55
No. My mind was somewhere else.
00:09:11.58\00:09:14.85
So I was really
thankful that the Lord,
00:09:14.88\00:09:16.95
you know, enabled me
to follow that ambulance.
00:09:16.99\00:09:19.75
But we get to the hospital
00:09:19.79\00:09:21.12
and I hadn't been
to Florida hospital
00:09:21.16\00:09:22.72
since the '80s.
00:09:22.76\00:09:24.09
You know, long, long time.
00:09:24.13\00:09:25.46
And at night, at 2
o'clock in the morning,
00:09:25.49\00:09:27.33
1.30 to 2.00,
00:09:27.36\00:09:28.70
it doesn't look
the same, brother,
00:09:28.73\00:09:30.13
I should say,
all I saw was dark.
00:09:30.17\00:09:31.93
And ambulance started
to go kind of underground.
00:09:31.97\00:09:35.84
And he stopped,
he rolled his window,
00:09:35.87\00:09:37.34
and he says, "Ma'am,
00:09:37.37\00:09:38.71
you're going to have to
go up to the next right,
00:09:38.74\00:09:40.11
make a right,
00:09:40.14\00:09:41.48
and then another
right, another right,
00:09:41.51\00:09:42.84
and go back to
that parking garage."
00:09:42.88\00:09:44.98
I thought parking garage?
00:09:45.01\00:09:46.51
Well, maybe there's
some people in there,
00:09:46.55\00:09:48.32
some attendance
at parking garage.
00:09:48.35\00:09:50.05
And I don't like
parking garage in the daytime.
00:09:50.09\00:09:52.09
See I'm from the city,
00:09:52.12\00:09:53.46
so I've got this city
sense about me, you know.
00:09:53.49\00:09:55.96
And I get in the parking garage,
00:09:55.99\00:09:58.16
there's no
attendants and I sit in the car,
00:09:58.19\00:10:01.53
and lo and behold,
00:10:01.56\00:10:02.90
if this man doesn't
start walking around,
00:10:02.93\00:10:04.73
and he was not looking for a car
00:10:04.77\00:10:06.57
just looked pretty
evident that he was a...
00:10:06.60\00:10:09.40
And so I started
praying Lord, "What should I do?
00:10:09.44\00:10:12.47
Do I get out? Do I wait?"
00:10:12.51\00:10:14.04
And I just sat
there, and I prayed.
00:10:14.08\00:10:15.98
And finally, I hadn't
seen him for a few minutes
00:10:16.01\00:10:18.01
I thought I've got to
try to get out of here.
00:10:18.05\00:10:19.88
So I grabbed my
bags, locked the door,
00:10:19.91\00:10:21.72
and I started out,
and I crossed one road,
00:10:21.75\00:10:24.32
and it was so dark,
I couldn't even tell,
00:10:24.35\00:10:26.12
I finally could
feel that I was in grass.
00:10:26.15\00:10:28.39
And I got up to the road
there and I couldn't tell
00:10:28.42\00:10:31.99
where the door was and I said,
"Lord, now which way do I go?
00:10:32.03\00:10:36.50
And I made it, I thought go back
00:10:36.53\00:10:37.87
to where Kenney was.
00:10:37.90\00:10:39.23
And while I was thinking that,
00:10:39.27\00:10:40.60
there was another
car started slowing down
00:10:40.64\00:10:42.84
where I was and I thought,
00:10:42.87\00:10:44.21
"Oh yeah, you
don't make eye contact."
00:10:44.24\00:10:46.01
So I just
turned, and kept walking,
00:10:46.04\00:10:47.91
eventually I mean,
he came almost to a stop
00:10:47.94\00:10:50.55
where I was, he may have,
00:10:50.58\00:10:52.05
but I just
wouldn't look at the car.
00:10:52.08\00:10:54.15
And then pretty
soon it just sped off.
00:10:54.18\00:10:56.18
So I crossed the highway,
00:10:56.22\00:10:57.55
started down to
where the ambulance was,
00:10:57.59\00:10:59.35
'cause at our hospitals,
00:10:59.39\00:11:00.72
there's always an
entrance for people.
00:11:00.76\00:11:03.12
And when I got down
there, there was no entrance,
00:11:03.16\00:11:06.39
and that door didn't open.
00:11:06.43\00:11:08.03
And here I was, I said,
"Okay Lord, now what do I do?
00:11:08.06\00:11:11.60
Do I knock?"
00:11:11.63\00:11:13.34
And I could see some
women in the foreground
00:11:13.37\00:11:15.60
and I saw this man
dressed in scrubs closer to me.
00:11:15.64\00:11:20.61
And he looked like
he was going to turn
00:11:20.64\00:11:23.14
and go into one
of the side doors.
00:11:23.18\00:11:25.51
And instead of
doing that he turned right
00:11:25.55\00:11:28.38
as I'm about to raise my
hand and knock, and he turned,
00:11:28.42\00:11:31.69
and he just
opened the first door,
00:11:31.72\00:11:34.16
and he opened the second,
00:11:34.19\00:11:35.96
and there I was and he
says, "You're welcome."
00:11:35.99\00:11:39.23
Mercy.
00:11:39.26\00:11:40.83
And I stop at that.
He didn't say a word.
00:11:40.86\00:11:42.40
What just happened, I
never said, "Thank you."
00:11:42.43\00:11:44.63
He never said, "Who are you?"
00:11:44.67\00:11:46.00
I'm standing
there with big bags.
00:11:46.03\00:11:48.10
He says, "You're welcome."
And I had this strange feeling.
00:11:48.14\00:11:52.61
I mean, literally a
goose bumps come up.
00:11:52.64\00:11:55.94
I thought what just happened?
00:11:55.98\00:11:57.31
I started to turn to see
00:11:57.35\00:11:58.68
where he was
and I heard clearly,
00:11:58.71\00:12:00.75
"No, go look for Kenney."
00:12:00.78\00:12:02.85
So I started on in,
00:12:02.88\00:12:04.72
and I started walking
towards those ladies I've seen.
00:12:04.75\00:12:07.32
I don't think they've seen
any of it or heard any of it
00:12:07.36\00:12:10.26
'cause pretty soon they
said, "May we help you?"
00:12:10.29\00:12:12.89
And I said,
"Yes, they just brought
00:12:12.93\00:12:14.26
my husband in there, you
know, a few minutes ago."
00:12:14.30\00:12:16.46
You are not
supposed to be in this part
00:12:16.50\00:12:18.43
of the hospital,
you'll get up to security.
00:12:18.47\00:12:21.70
I didn't mind to go to security.
00:12:21.74\00:12:23.47
I was in of those streets.
00:12:23.51\00:12:25.71
Two days later, they had
that hospital surrounded...
00:12:25.74\00:12:28.31
Were you there
when it was surrounded
00:12:28.34\00:12:29.68
with helicopters,
00:12:29.71\00:12:31.05
and they were searching
the garage for a killer.
00:12:31.08\00:12:33.38
A month later they
had on the news down
00:12:33.42\00:12:36.22
there how people's
cars have been brought.
00:12:36.25\00:12:38.12
It just wasn't a safe place.
00:12:38.15\00:12:40.42
And I praise God
00:12:40.46\00:12:42.09
because every
time I look at angels,
00:12:42.12\00:12:45.53
think of angels, I
see that man's face.
00:12:45.56\00:12:49.56
And I see him coming
by, he knew my heart.
00:12:49.60\00:12:52.40
And I was scared.
00:12:52.43\00:12:54.07
And just like I read,
God did not leave me alone,
00:12:54.10\00:12:57.94
He sent an angel.
00:12:57.97\00:12:59.51
And I felt like
that was the extra angel.
00:12:59.54\00:13:02.84
Amen. Gave me chills.
00:13:02.88\00:13:04.25
Yeah, that gives
you chills, doesn't it?
00:13:04.28\00:13:05.75
Kind of goose bumps. Yes.
00:13:05.78\00:13:07.28
I want to share with
the rest of you guys,
00:13:07.32\00:13:09.65
if you've had any angel stories
00:13:09.68\00:13:11.72
or just claim
these angel promises,
00:13:11.75\00:13:14.36
what's on your heart?
00:13:14.39\00:13:15.72
Wow.
00:13:15.76\00:13:17.09
Well, I remember my
brother in New York,
00:13:17.13\00:13:19.29
he has a heart
condition, remember, John?
00:13:19.33\00:13:21.43
Oh, yeah.
00:13:21.46\00:13:22.80
I was just telling somebody
the story just two days ago.
00:13:22.83\00:13:24.97
Okay. Go ahead. You share it.
00:13:25.00\00:13:26.50
His heart condition had
come to the place where...
00:13:30.67\00:13:33.14
was it an aneurysm?
00:13:33.17\00:13:34.51
Yes. He had an aneurysm.
00:13:34.54\00:13:35.88
And you know aneurysm. Yeah.
00:13:35.91\00:13:37.28
If that burst, that's it.
00:13:37.31\00:13:39.61
You could be in
the hospital bed,
00:13:39.65\00:13:40.98
you could be right
in the emergency room
00:13:41.02\00:13:42.35
sometimes, that's
it they can't help you.
00:13:42.38\00:13:43.72
But, so recognizing the
worsening of his condition
00:13:43.75\00:13:47.66
they called an ambulance.
00:13:47.69\00:13:49.02
And we were there.
00:13:49.06\00:13:50.39
And right we were...
00:13:50.43\00:13:51.83
We were there at the
house when the ambulance came.
00:13:51.86\00:13:55.80
That's right. Right
there in the living room.
00:13:55.83\00:13:57.77
And two guys
came and they thought
00:13:57.80\00:13:59.53
this was the
ambulance that they called.
00:13:59.57\00:14:02.00
That ambulance
took them, and then...
00:14:02.04\00:14:04.87
They said, "Who?"
00:14:04.91\00:14:06.24
They said, "We're here for..."
00:14:06.27\00:14:10.28
Glenmore. For Glenmore.
00:14:10.31\00:14:12.38
And anything I forget,
00:14:12.41\00:14:13.82
remember to fill
that and he says.
00:14:13.85\00:14:15.58
So but the other
ambulance showed up after that.
00:14:15.62\00:14:18.52
And they thought
00:14:18.55\00:14:19.89
we already got,
00:14:19.92\00:14:21.26
we already got
it, we already got it.
00:14:21.29\00:14:24.09
And we didn't pay
much attention to it.
00:14:24.13\00:14:26.46
But they took her brother.
00:14:26.49\00:14:27.93
The two guys
came in we saw them,
00:14:27.96\00:14:30.97
remember their names?
00:14:31.00\00:14:32.33
Okay, well, he found
out about their names later.
00:14:32.37\00:14:34.04
So got to get to that point
00:14:34.07\00:14:35.40
so they take him to the hospital
00:14:35.44\00:14:37.27
then they discover that
that hospital can't help him.
00:14:37.31\00:14:40.01
So they took him
to the other hospital.
00:14:40.04\00:14:41.81
They waited for
him all this time,
00:14:41.84\00:14:43.98
they stayed with
him in the hospital.
00:14:44.01\00:14:48.02
Oh, the ambulance.
Yes, the ambulance guy.
00:14:48.05\00:14:51.39
The paramedics stayed
with him which was unusual.
00:14:51.42\00:14:55.42
They usually drop you
and go. Yes, that's right.
00:14:55.46\00:14:56.86
They stayed with him
00:14:56.89\00:14:58.23
and then they transferred
him to the other hospital.
00:14:58.26\00:15:00.13
And later they
asked, "What are your names?
00:15:00.16\00:15:05.50
What's your name?"
00:15:05.53\00:15:08.54
This blows you away. Yeah.
00:15:08.57\00:15:10.41
My name is
Seraphim, his name is Gabriel.
00:15:10.44\00:15:12.97
Yes. Well now?
00:15:13.01\00:15:14.84
I'm not making this up.
00:15:14.88\00:15:18.41
Afterwards they went to...
00:15:18.45\00:15:20.15
after this whole episode...
00:15:20.18\00:15:21.52
These are
handsome guys, we saw them.
00:15:21.55\00:15:23.59
And they went to thank him.
00:15:23.62\00:15:26.45
They have no
record of this ambulance.
00:15:26.49\00:15:28.02
Oh. My brother called.
00:15:28.06\00:15:30.69
He said, "I want to
thank Seraphim and Gabriel.
00:15:30.73\00:15:34.20
And they were
with this ambulance."
00:15:34.23\00:15:35.80
What are you talking about?
00:15:35.83\00:15:37.17
They don't have an
ambulance service by that name.
00:15:37.20\00:15:40.24
The ambulance service,
00:15:40.27\00:15:41.60
they don't have
that one listed anyway.
00:15:41.64\00:15:43.17
And so they
don't have these guys.
00:15:43.20\00:15:45.54
Who you're talking about?
00:15:45.57\00:15:46.91
So the ambulance that was called
00:15:46.94\00:15:48.34
came after these guys
had already taken him away.
00:15:48.38\00:15:52.51
And so this text that
came to me was Psalm 34:7,
00:15:52.55\00:15:56.05
"The angel of the
Lord encampeth around about
00:15:56.08\00:15:58.39
who fear him, and deliver them."
00:15:58.42\00:16:01.49
And so when we are told
00:16:01.52\00:16:03.69
that we
entertain angels unaware,
00:16:03.73\00:16:06.06
I've really believed
00:16:06.09\00:16:07.43
we're not going to
know until the kingdom...
00:16:07.46\00:16:08.80
Oh, that's so true.
00:16:08.83\00:16:10.17
Then we're going to say,
00:16:10.20\00:16:11.53
"I knew, there was
something about those guys."
00:16:11.57\00:16:14.37
I mean, they were
too mild mannered,
00:16:14.40\00:16:15.90
they were not ruffled,
they were not hesitant,
00:16:15.94\00:16:19.14
they were just cordial
00:16:19.17\00:16:20.81
and they were there
before the other ambulance.
00:16:20.84\00:16:23.18
And they came to find out early,
00:16:23.21\00:16:26.38
later they're glad
that they got him there
00:16:26.41\00:16:29.45
when he did
00:16:29.48\00:16:30.82
because that
aneurism could have burst.
00:16:30.85\00:16:34.22
And they stayed with him.
00:16:34.26\00:16:35.59
And they stayed with
him. That is amazing.
00:16:35.62\00:16:36.96
Yeah, they stayed with
him until he was settled in
00:16:36.99\00:16:40.56
and then he'd left the,
both of them walked away.
00:16:40.60\00:16:42.76
Right, they were
till they settled
00:16:42.80\00:16:44.13
and got 'em into
room and everything...
00:16:44.17\00:16:45.50
Wouldn't leave.
00:16:45.53\00:16:46.87
This was for
hours, couple of hours.
00:16:46.90\00:16:48.24
I was like, how could they stay?
00:16:48.27\00:16:49.90
And we know that
God sent His angels.
00:16:49.94\00:16:52.04
Isn't that beautiful?
00:16:52.07\00:16:53.41
And my brother's
rejoice until this day,
00:16:53.44\00:16:55.94
he's faithful,
he loves the Lord.
00:16:55.98\00:16:58.95
And he's strong in
the Lord to this day.
00:16:58.98\00:17:01.62
They didn't
leave the job undone.
00:17:01.65\00:17:04.09
No. I like that.
00:17:04.12\00:17:05.45
They said because
that doesn't happen.
00:17:05.49\00:17:08.19
Not in reality, in the real...
00:17:08.22\00:17:10.49
Usually they just drop
off the patient and go.
00:17:10.53\00:17:11.99
They can't,
they're not allowed to.
00:17:12.03\00:17:13.96
But God's people, the angels,
00:17:14.00\00:17:16.33
they will stay until
the job is complete and done
00:17:16.36\00:17:20.24
before they leave.
00:17:20.27\00:17:21.60
What was the names
of these guys again?
00:17:21.64\00:17:23.00
Seraphim and Gabriel.
00:17:23.04\00:17:25.17
That were their two names.
00:17:25.21\00:17:27.28
One African-American guy
00:17:27.31\00:17:28.74
and like one was
brown, one was an American.
00:17:28.78\00:17:31.91
And just really not,
we're here to get Glenmore,
00:17:31.95\00:17:34.58
we heard the
response on the radio.
00:17:34.62\00:17:35.95
Wow.
00:17:35.98\00:17:37.79
We didn't question it. Yeah.
00:17:37.82\00:17:39.29
And then we came
to find it later,
00:17:39.32\00:17:41.09
this ambulance
service doesn't exist.
00:17:41.12\00:17:42.46
And that's why they were
two. The original came later.
00:17:42.49\00:17:45.93
Yeah, but the
heavenly came first.
00:17:45.96\00:17:48.10
And, you know,
00:17:48.13\00:17:49.46
as you were
telling me this story
00:17:49.50\00:17:50.83
after we came back from Florida,
00:17:50.87\00:17:52.47
we were watching a documentary,
00:17:52.50\00:17:54.04
and it was
talking about Navy SEALs.
00:17:54.07\00:17:55.97
And these people
that are kidnapped
00:17:56.00\00:17:58.87
and they were
shown like this lady
00:17:58.91\00:18:00.41
that was in another country
00:18:00.44\00:18:01.84
and how the Navy
SEALs came in and,
00:18:01.88\00:18:04.25
you know, it was just
horrible what happened,
00:18:04.28\00:18:06.15
and how they did get her out.
00:18:06.18\00:18:07.72
I remember thinking to
myself, "Oh boy, if I'm ever,"
00:18:07.75\00:18:10.79
'cause we travel,
all of us travel, right?
00:18:10.82\00:18:12.95
If we're ever in
that kind of situation,
00:18:12.99\00:18:14.62
I thought "Boy, I
pray, I hope there's a Navy."
00:18:14.66\00:18:18.03
I caught myself.
00:18:18.06\00:18:19.49
I thought no I
don't want a Navy SEAL,
00:18:19.53\00:18:21.60
I want that extra angel.
00:18:21.63\00:18:25.23
Yeah, extra angel.
00:18:25.27\00:18:26.87
And I don't know
how the stories came up
00:18:26.90\00:18:28.50
a couple of days
ago about angels,
00:18:28.54\00:18:29.87
was I telling you the story...
00:18:29.90\00:18:31.24
No, it wasn't me.
00:18:31.27\00:18:32.61
I was telling somebody
else about these stories
00:18:32.64\00:18:34.34
and there was one other example,
00:18:34.38\00:18:36.34
one other story I
remember very well,
00:18:36.38\00:18:37.78
the man who raised
me, I call him papa.
00:18:37.81\00:18:42.05
This is in Brooklyn
years ago, you know the story.
00:18:42.08\00:18:45.75
He was at some event
00:18:45.79\00:18:48.16
that was happening
on a Saturday evening,
00:18:48.19\00:18:49.79
he want to go home,
he just loves to be home.
00:18:49.82\00:18:52.29
I want to go home,
00:18:52.33\00:18:53.66
but his wife at the time
00:18:53.70\00:18:55.03
just hanging out
with the family and all,
00:18:55.06\00:18:57.20
he said, "I want to go home."
00:18:57.23\00:18:58.60
And he's the kind of guy
00:18:58.63\00:18:59.97
that I say it two or three times
00:19:00.00\00:19:01.34
he's going to
start walking home.
00:19:01.37\00:19:03.20
He was in his 80's at
the time, early 80s...
00:19:03.24\00:19:04.87
No, in the 70s.
Right, 70s, late 70s.
00:19:04.91\00:19:08.04
So it's a Sunday
morning in Brooklyn.
00:19:08.08\00:19:10.48
And just to give you an
idea of how far the walk was,
00:19:10.51\00:19:13.78
it was a good walk,
couple of few miles,
00:19:13.82\00:19:16.28
two, three miles.
00:19:16.32\00:19:17.72
And that's a
long way in Brooklyn
00:19:17.75\00:19:20.59
in the late 70s.
00:19:20.62\00:19:22.16
In his late 70s.
00:19:22.19\00:19:24.06
So he told me the
story when he got home,
00:19:24.09\00:19:27.60
I said, "Papa,
how did you get here?"
00:19:27.63\00:19:29.36
He said, "Oh, I
walked." Walked? From where?
00:19:29.40\00:19:31.87
And he told me from, and I said,
00:19:31.90\00:19:33.23
"Are you kidding me?
00:19:33.27\00:19:34.60
When did you leave?"
00:19:34.64\00:19:35.97
And he told me, "Well, about
it was still dark outside."
00:19:36.00\00:19:38.57
And he got home and when
it was just getting light.
00:19:38.61\00:19:40.21
And he said, "A guy
walked me all the way home."
00:19:40.24\00:19:43.68
I said, "A guy walked you
00:19:43.71\00:19:45.05
all the way home from Bushwick?"
00:19:45.08\00:19:46.41
He said, "He was a mail carrier.
00:19:46.45\00:19:50.09
He had on his mail uniform."
00:19:50.12\00:19:52.19
On Sunday morning?
00:19:52.22\00:19:54.92
And he said when he got,
00:19:54.96\00:19:56.83
he walked them right
to the gate from all way.
00:19:56.86\00:19:59.69
I was like, what are you doing?
00:19:59.73\00:20:01.16
What is the mail
carrier doing on Sunday morning?
00:20:01.20\00:20:03.23
They don't deliver
mail on Sunday morning.
00:20:03.26\00:20:05.20
But I believed
the Lord allowed him
00:20:05.23\00:20:06.57
to wear a uniform of trust.
00:20:06.60\00:20:08.67
His angel guarding him
with the uniform of trust.
00:20:08.70\00:20:11.04
Now, if anybody's
walked up in Brooklyn,
00:20:11.07\00:20:12.67
he'd have been knowing
and he said, "Who are you?
00:20:12.71\00:20:14.78
I don't know who you are?"
00:20:14.81\00:20:16.14
But the guy said,
"Where are you going?"
00:20:16.18\00:20:17.51
He said he told
me that he said him,
00:20:17.55\00:20:18.88
"I'm walking home.
00:20:18.91\00:20:20.25
He said, "I'll walk with you."
00:20:20.28\00:20:21.62
Walked with him miles
to the gate of his house.
00:20:21.65\00:20:23.49
All night long.
00:20:23.52\00:20:24.99
Now, how many mail
carriers are all night long?
00:20:25.02\00:20:28.16
Oh, I love that.
But just to do that.
00:20:28.19\00:20:30.19
And so these are times
00:20:30.23\00:20:31.66
that you look
back and you think,
00:20:31.69\00:20:34.06
He had to have hint.
00:20:34.10\00:20:35.43
You know, He will give
His angels charge over this.
00:20:35.46\00:20:37.50
Yes. Yes. Amen.
00:20:37.53\00:20:39.23
And you never know.
00:20:39.27\00:20:40.60
And in Brooklyn
at those times. Yes.
00:20:40.64\00:20:43.07
You know, there's
stories like that at all.
00:20:43.10\00:20:45.27
I see that you want to share
one or you want me to wonder?
00:20:45.31\00:20:49.21
Yes.
00:20:49.24\00:20:50.88
Most everybody's heard
00:20:50.91\00:20:52.25
just talk about
that we raise labs.
00:20:52.28\00:20:55.58
We donated one in the
spring to an autistic boy.
00:20:55.62\00:21:00.42
He is 11 years old,
00:21:00.46\00:21:01.82
and he has a lot
of anxiety problems,
00:21:01.86\00:21:04.69
anxiety attacks.
00:21:04.73\00:21:06.39
And they wanted this puppy
to train it for a service dog.
00:21:06.43\00:21:10.17
And that takes
usually two years to train it.
00:21:10.20\00:21:13.94
And when an autistic
child has these attacks,
00:21:13.97\00:21:19.14
they like to be
covered with something like
00:21:19.17\00:21:21.74
they'll cover with a blanket.
00:21:21.78\00:21:24.01
Yeah, like a security thing.
It makes them feel better.
00:21:24.05\00:21:27.48
So they teach in the course
of this teaching the labs,
00:21:27.52\00:21:30.65
they teach them to lay
down on top of the child,
00:21:30.69\00:21:34.22
and it makes the
child feel better.
00:21:34.26\00:21:35.99
Well, it's a long process.
00:21:36.02\00:21:38.43
But first of all,
you take the puppy,
00:21:38.46\00:21:40.50
and you have to give
it obedience training,
00:21:40.53\00:21:42.26
just simple obedience training.
00:21:42.30\00:21:44.77
And so they started to do this.
00:21:44.80\00:21:46.67
And the puppy was
tremendously smart,
00:21:46.70\00:21:49.14
and the people
were just blown away,
00:21:49.17\00:21:50.81
the trainers and everything.
00:21:50.84\00:21:52.37
But a few months down the road,
still in obedience training.
00:21:52.41\00:21:56.18
The mom texted me
just a few weeks ago
00:21:56.21\00:21:59.95
and she said,
00:21:59.98\00:22:01.32
"When Caleb has an
attack said puppy goes over
00:22:01.35\00:22:05.55
and she lays down on his arm,
00:22:05.59\00:22:07.59
she puts her
head on his shoulder."
00:22:07.62\00:22:10.03
Now, nobody's taught her this.
00:22:10.06\00:22:11.73
And the mom said,
00:22:11.76\00:22:13.80
"Now it starts
calming him down immediately
00:22:13.83\00:22:17.10
when he feels
that head on his arm
00:22:17.13\00:22:19.37
and on his shoulder."
00:22:19.40\00:22:20.74
And she said,
"Since we got the puppy,
00:22:20.77\00:22:23.94
he's been able to completely
get off one of his medications
00:22:23.97\00:22:27.94
and cut his other
one down to half."
00:22:27.98\00:22:30.55
And she said, his doctor
00:22:30.58\00:22:32.21
made up a certificate
of award for the puppy
00:22:32.25\00:22:35.88
because it's made
such a difference.
00:22:35.92\00:22:38.22
And to me, I feel
like that's an angel.
00:22:38.25\00:22:41.32
That's angel power
00:22:41.36\00:22:42.82
working through using that puppy
00:22:42.86\00:22:45.43
to help that little boy.
00:22:45.46\00:22:47.36
And I think that I
look at the animals
00:22:47.40\00:22:49.36
that alert
00:22:49.40\00:22:50.73
when somebody is going
to have a diabetic attack,
00:22:50.77\00:22:53.64
or a seizure, or
all this kind of stuff.
00:22:53.67\00:22:56.74
I don't think
that's the dog itself.
00:22:56.77\00:22:58.57
I think that that's
God and angels working
00:22:58.61\00:23:00.61
through those animals.
00:23:00.64\00:23:02.28
Oh, there's been
testimonies all over
00:23:02.31\00:23:04.85
where God has
worked through animals
00:23:04.88\00:23:07.02
to save people's lives.
00:23:07.05\00:23:08.82
And, you know, one of these days
00:23:08.85\00:23:11.55
we're going to get to see
00:23:11.59\00:23:12.92
and meet Gabriel and
what was the second one...?
00:23:12.95\00:23:16.32
Seraphim.
00:23:16.36\00:23:17.69
I didn't get a
chance to ask mine,
00:23:17.73\00:23:19.79
but you know, and
I know that I've seen
00:23:19.83\00:23:23.50
at least a couple of times
I believe I've seen an angel.
00:23:23.53\00:23:26.03
And one was in
the form of my mother.
00:23:26.07\00:23:28.50
One time I was doing something
I shouldn't have been doing.
00:23:28.54\00:23:31.31
I never heard door,
never heard footsteps.
00:23:31.34\00:23:35.08
All of sudden she
appeared in my room
00:23:35.11\00:23:37.15
and I just hung
my head in shame.
00:23:37.18\00:23:40.12
And my mom is not the type
00:23:40.15\00:23:43.22
that she would
not have mentioned it.
00:23:43.25\00:23:44.69
She never brought it up.
00:23:44.72\00:23:46.15
And I thought I'm
not going to bring it up.
00:23:46.19\00:23:47.99
The next day, I thought
I'm in trouble now, you know.
00:23:48.02\00:23:50.49
Nothing was ever said. Nothing.
00:23:50.53\00:23:53.06
Never heard footsteps
going back to her room,
00:23:53.09\00:23:55.30
never heard anything.
00:23:55.33\00:23:56.67
And I didn't
dawn on me right away,
00:23:56.70\00:23:58.83
but I thought this is
just really different.
00:23:58.87\00:24:02.34
And I'll tell
you one more story.
00:24:02.37\00:24:04.21
Well, you should tell a story.
00:24:04.24\00:24:06.07
Pastor, why
don't you tell a story?
00:24:06.11\00:24:07.84
Tell about the time
00:24:07.88\00:24:09.21
you were stuck in your truck
broke down in the mountains.
00:24:09.24\00:24:12.05
Oh, well, yeah, that was
00:24:12.08\00:24:13.92
when I was
actually was in service.
00:24:13.95\00:24:16.52
I was just going to say,
wasn't you in the service...
00:24:16.55\00:24:18.89
Yeah, in the service
at the Laurel, Maryland.
00:24:18.92\00:24:22.22
So at Fort Meade, Maryland,
00:24:22.26\00:24:25.39
I was there for
about little over a year.
00:24:25.43\00:24:27.26
And I remember we had to leave
00:24:27.30\00:24:28.63
I think it was around
Christmas time or whatever.
00:24:28.66\00:24:30.67
And so we had it a
couple of weeks there,
00:24:30.70\00:24:32.37
you're going to
be able to get home
00:24:32.40\00:24:33.74
and I had a 63 Chevrolet,
00:24:33.77\00:24:36.47
you know, I always
like that Chevrolet now.
00:24:36.50\00:24:38.24
You know, white Chevrolet.
00:24:38.27\00:24:40.24
And so anyway, you
know, what do you think,
00:24:40.28\00:24:43.24
Pastor, 900 miles maybe
800, 900 miles I think...
00:24:43.28\00:24:46.15
From Maryland, yeah.
00:24:46.18\00:24:47.52
Probably so, yup,
00:24:47.55\00:24:48.88
you know, and I
was about half way back
00:24:48.92\00:24:50.65
400 or so miles I had
left there at the base.
00:24:50.69\00:24:53.69
I was driving home,
00:24:53.72\00:24:55.06
just had a few
days into the home
00:24:55.09\00:24:56.42
and then had to go back.
00:24:56.46\00:24:57.79
And the car just quit.
It absolutely just quit.
00:24:57.83\00:25:01.56
I mean, you know,
00:25:01.60\00:25:02.93
you've got 63
Chevrolet, 327 engine.
00:25:02.96\00:25:05.97
It's not going to quit on you.
00:25:06.00\00:25:07.67
Some won't get that, but anyway,
00:25:07.70\00:25:09.50
well, you know,
the thing is quit now,
00:25:09.54\00:25:11.04
what am I going to do?
00:25:11.07\00:25:12.41
I may have had
enough money in my pocket
00:25:12.44\00:25:14.34
to get enough gas to get home.
00:25:14.38\00:25:16.71
So I had no money.
00:25:16.75\00:25:18.08
There's no credit cards,
00:25:18.11\00:25:19.45
no anything
else to get it fixed.
00:25:19.48\00:25:20.98
It was on a Sunday.
00:25:21.02\00:25:22.65
And there was, you
know, no business open.
00:25:22.68\00:25:24.12
And I'm in the middle,
00:25:24.15\00:25:25.49
there's no one, I
think it was 64, 70,
00:25:25.52\00:25:28.69
I think it was 70
coming through heading west.
00:25:28.72\00:25:32.96
And so anyways I pulled
over to the side thought,
00:25:32.99\00:25:35.16
well, now I can
crank a little bit,
00:25:35.20\00:25:36.83
tried to crank not even a spark.
00:25:36.87\00:25:39.50
I thought, "Oh no,
what am I gonna do, Lord?
00:25:39.53\00:25:41.14
What am I goanna do now?"
00:25:41.17\00:25:42.50
You know, there's nobody,
00:25:42.54\00:25:43.87
it didn't even
have the cell phones.
00:25:43.91\00:25:46.17
No cell phones,
no communication,
00:25:46.21\00:25:47.68
no here you are,
00:25:47.71\00:25:49.04
you're stuck
out there, you know.
00:25:49.08\00:25:50.41
Now, I'll be right
quick, let's get some help.
00:25:50.45\00:25:52.25
And I think, now
what am I gonna do?
00:25:52.28\00:25:53.62
Lord, I need some
help. What is this?
00:25:53.65\00:25:54.98
I was just maybe
19, maybe I turned 20.
00:25:55.02\00:25:59.22
Said, Lord, I need some help.
00:25:59.25\00:26:00.96
And all of a sudden
00:26:00.99\00:26:02.32
there was somebody
pulled in behind me.
00:26:02.36\00:26:04.33
And the gentleman,
00:26:04.36\00:26:06.06
he got out, he was dressed
00:26:06.09\00:26:07.90
in a khaki uniform, nice, crisp,
00:26:07.93\00:26:11.53
you know, everything
pressed up real nice, and neat,
00:26:11.57\00:26:14.17
and stately gentleman.
00:26:14.20\00:26:16.97
He came up to
the car and he said,
00:26:17.01\00:26:19.04
"Well, it looks like
you have some trouble here.
00:26:19.07\00:26:20.74
May I help you?"
00:26:20.78\00:26:22.14
I said, "I don't
even know what's wrong.
00:26:22.18\00:26:23.75
You know, it
just. Just quit on me."
00:26:23.78\00:26:26.08
And he said,
00:26:26.11\00:26:28.52
well, you know, he
said, "Why don't I take you
00:26:28.55\00:26:31.69
and I'll find
somebody to fix this for you."
00:26:31.72\00:26:34.22
I thought, who is this guy?
00:26:34.26\00:26:35.96
You know, they don't
just stop by and say,
00:26:35.99\00:26:38.79
"Hey, let me..."
00:26:38.83\00:26:40.16
He said, and this
and this, and I'd been
00:26:40.20\00:26:42.86
because I've been
early morning when I'd left,
00:26:42.90\00:26:44.53
I drove about 450 miles
ahead and stopped, you know.
00:26:44.57\00:26:47.97
And he said, "And I
know that you're hungry."
00:26:48.00\00:26:50.81
He said, "Why don't you
let me take you to a restaurant
00:26:50.84\00:26:53.81
and let you get some food first,
00:26:53.84\00:26:55.64
and then we'll fix your car."
00:26:55.68\00:26:58.11
And I was just in
such a dilemma anyway,
00:26:58.15\00:26:59.65
you know, like I
need to get it fixed.
00:26:59.68\00:27:01.02
And this is so nice and somebody
00:27:01.05\00:27:02.95
and I said, you haven't, I
said, "No, I haven't eaten."
00:27:02.98\00:27:06.29
He said, "Let's go.
I know just a place."
00:27:06.32\00:27:08.42
He took me to a restaurant
about five miles down the road,
00:27:08.46\00:27:12.06
got out of the car,
00:27:12.09\00:27:13.43
opened the door
so I could get out,
00:27:13.46\00:27:14.83
and he said,
00:27:14.86\00:27:16.20
"Go in and have
yourself something to eat."
00:27:16.23\00:27:18.43
And I said, "The least I can do.
00:27:18.47\00:27:19.97
I only have like 20 bucks.
00:27:20.00\00:27:21.50
At least I can do
is buy you a meal.
00:27:21.54\00:27:23.00
Would you come
in and eat with me?"
00:27:23.04\00:27:24.37
Here I'm going like blah-blah.
00:27:24.41\00:27:25.74
He said, "No, thank
you. I'm not hungry.
00:27:25.77\00:27:27.48
I'll just wait
out here for you."
00:27:27.51\00:27:29.28
He waited
outside while I went in,
00:27:29.31\00:27:31.01
got me something to eat,
00:27:31.05\00:27:32.41
came back, got in the
car, started to go back.
00:27:32.45\00:27:35.48
And I said, "Well,
you know, is there,
00:27:35.52\00:27:37.65
I wonder if there's any
place you live around here?"
00:27:37.69\00:27:39.25
He said, "Well, I
know." He avoided it.
00:27:39.29\00:27:41.82
He said, "I know
someone who can help you."
00:27:41.86\00:27:44.53
And again no phones,
no anything and I said,
00:27:44.56\00:27:47.33
"Well, that's good.
00:27:47.36\00:27:48.86
But, where are we going to go."
00:27:48.90\00:27:50.37
He said, "Well, I suggest
that we go back to your car
00:27:50.40\00:27:53.64
and shortly they'll be a wrecker
00:27:53.67\00:27:55.94
that will come."
00:27:55.97\00:27:57.71
And I said, "A
wrecker will come?"
00:27:57.74\00:27:59.07
I thought well he
must, you know, here I am.
00:27:59.11\00:28:01.38
He must have made
a call or something
00:28:01.41\00:28:02.78
while I was in
there, I didn't know.
00:28:02.81\00:28:04.25
But he had made no call.
00:28:04.28\00:28:05.61
He said, "Wrecker
will come by shortly."
00:28:05.65\00:28:07.08
They'll have
what you need to fix.
00:28:07.12\00:28:09.42
And I said, "Well,
let's go back, you know."
00:28:09.45\00:28:11.42
So we ran, we got
back to the vehicle.
00:28:11.45\00:28:14.06
And just a matter of
couple of minutes here,
00:28:14.09\00:28:16.12
a wrecker pulled in behind me.
00:28:16.16\00:28:18.93
He got out, he said,
00:28:18.96\00:28:20.30
"Well, I see that
you're stranded by the road
00:28:20.33\00:28:22.00
and I thought maybe
you might need some help."
00:28:22.03\00:28:24.27
And I said, he said,
00:28:24.30\00:28:25.63
"You know what's wrong with it?"
00:28:25.67\00:28:27.00
And the man is
still standing there.
00:28:27.04\00:28:28.60
He would not leave.
He stood right there.
00:28:28.64\00:28:31.54
The khaki
uniform, stately manner,
00:28:31.57\00:28:33.58
just stand right
there and the guy said,
00:28:33.61\00:28:36.58
"Well, you
know, can I help you?"
00:28:36.61\00:28:38.21
I said, "I don't
even know what it is?
00:28:38.25\00:28:39.71
I don't know what's wrong,
it just doesn't turn over,
00:28:39.75\00:28:41.32
don't fire.
00:28:41.35\00:28:42.68
Something in the
firing could be the,
00:28:42.72\00:28:44.15
you know, something the points
00:28:44.19\00:28:45.52
or condenser that
time is easy to change,
00:28:45.55\00:28:47.26
you know, if you had 'em.
00:28:47.29\00:28:48.62
And the stately gentleman looked
00:28:48.66\00:28:51.16
at the wrecker
man that was there.
00:28:51.19\00:28:53.70
He said, and he said,
00:28:53.73\00:28:55.06
"I think you
probably have in your truck,
00:28:55.10\00:28:56.80
what it is to help him."
00:28:56.83\00:28:58.43
He said, "Well, I
don't know what it is."
00:28:58.47\00:28:59.80
He said, "Well, let's
just check and see what it is."
00:28:59.83\00:29:02.60
And he said,
00:29:02.64\00:29:03.97
"Why don't you check
and see if it's firing."
00:29:04.01\00:29:07.21
And then the mechanic
00:29:07.24\00:29:08.58
or the wrecker man said, "Okay."
00:29:08.61\00:29:10.15
He said, "Let's do.
00:29:10.18\00:29:11.51
You get in and you turn
it on and I'll look on."
00:29:11.55\00:29:12.88
And he got down at
the back of the 327,
00:29:12.91\00:29:15.35
the distributor
cap is back there.
00:29:15.38\00:29:17.45
That's where your wires
00:29:17.49\00:29:18.82
from your spark
plugs and all go into.
00:29:18.85\00:29:21.09
Soon as he looked at
that distributor cap,
00:29:21.12\00:29:23.29
he said, "Man, I see
the problem already."
00:29:23.32\00:29:25.19
He said, "The
distributor cap is cracked."
00:29:25.23\00:29:27.46
He said, "You need another one."
00:29:27.50\00:29:28.83
And I said,
"Oh, but it's Sunday,
00:29:28.86\00:29:30.20
there's no shops
or anything open."
00:29:30.23\00:29:32.63
Stately man
still standing there,
00:29:32.67\00:29:35.20
he looks at the
repair man with warmth,
00:29:35.24\00:29:38.24
and he didn't say
anything, he just looked at him.
00:29:38.27\00:29:41.44
And the wrecker man
said, "You know what,
00:29:41.48\00:29:44.05
just the other day
00:29:44.08\00:29:45.41
I took a distributor
cap off of another car
00:29:45.45\00:29:48.78
and I have it here
in my wrecker right
00:29:48.82\00:29:51.35
behind the seat."
00:29:51.39\00:29:53.02
He reached in behind the seat,
00:29:53.05\00:29:54.39
took distributor cap
exactly what the 327,
00:29:54.42\00:29:56.62
1963 Chevrolet had in his hands,
00:29:56.66\00:29:59.59
pulled the wires
out really quick,
00:29:59.63\00:30:00.96
put it out there, plugged it up,
00:30:01.00\00:30:03.57
it started just like that.
00:30:03.60\00:30:05.60
The stately man was
still standing there,
00:30:05.63\00:30:07.70
he did not leave
me all that time.
00:30:07.74\00:30:09.40
He stayed right
there until it was fixed.
00:30:09.44\00:30:12.01
And then I said,
00:30:12.04\00:30:13.38
"Oh, how in this
world do I thank you.
00:30:13.41\00:30:17.91
I don't have
anything to give you."
00:30:17.95\00:30:19.91
He said and I find it difficult.
00:30:19.95\00:30:24.49
Okay. It's okay.
00:30:28.32\00:30:30.76
It was just amazing
00:30:30.79\00:30:32.93
what he said I get to...
00:30:32.96\00:30:38.93
I said, "How do I thank you."
00:30:38.97\00:30:41.57
He said, "What I
have done for you,
00:30:41.60\00:30:44.97
do to others."
00:30:45.01\00:30:47.34
And he was gone. What?
00:30:47.38\00:30:48.71
What? Yeah.
00:30:48.74\00:30:51.11
Think about that.
00:30:51.15\00:30:53.18
What I have done to you,
I want you to do for others.
00:30:53.21\00:30:57.65
Gone.
00:30:57.69\00:31:00.09
That's been a lot of years
ago, but it's still touching.
00:31:00.12\00:31:04.16
And you know that
was not a coincidence.
00:31:04.19\00:31:07.10
No. No.
00:31:07.13\00:31:08.46
He stayed there the whole time.
00:31:08.50\00:31:10.77
He knew the
needs of the physical
00:31:10.80\00:31:13.94
before he got the
body and then the car.
00:31:13.97\00:31:17.57
He said in advance
what would take place,
00:31:17.61\00:31:20.28
what would come by,
00:31:20.31\00:31:21.64
they would have what you
need, and then got it fixed.
00:31:21.68\00:31:24.51
And then he said,
00:31:24.55\00:31:25.88
"As I have done to
you, do to others."
00:31:25.91\00:31:28.38
And I've never forgotten that.
00:31:28.42\00:31:30.02
Wow. What a message.
00:31:30.05\00:31:31.39
What about his
car that he was in?
00:31:31.42\00:31:33.12
No, when I looked around
00:31:33.15\00:31:34.86
'cause I had tears
going down my cheek.
00:31:34.89\00:31:37.19
There I'm
thinking, man that was all.
00:31:37.23\00:31:38.93
I looked around,
there was nothing there
00:31:38.96\00:31:40.40
and there was
just nothing there.
00:31:40.43\00:31:41.76
So I know who it was.
00:31:41.80\00:31:45.13
God sent an angel,
Real guardian angel.
00:31:45.17\00:31:47.20
Guardian angel to
take care of that.
00:31:47.24\00:31:48.87
So he does meet the needs. Amen.
00:31:48.90\00:31:50.87
He does meet the needs. I
think that's so wonderful.
00:31:50.91\00:31:53.17
And like you mentioned, Pastor,
00:31:53.21\00:31:54.54
he stayed there until the
job was complete and done.
00:31:54.58\00:31:59.95
And he did not leave me
00:31:59.98\00:32:01.65
defenseless as
we're helpless, as I was.
00:32:01.68\00:32:05.35
I didn't have
anything, he seen me through.
00:32:05.39\00:32:07.39
That's right.
00:32:07.42\00:32:08.76
I've never heard that
story all these years.
00:32:08.79\00:32:10.83
Yeah! Really!
00:32:10.86\00:32:13.23
It's amazing to me and
still touching to my heart
00:32:13.26\00:32:16.53
because of the
very ending of it.
00:32:16.56\00:32:20.30
So I thought it was a good
man until he said what he said.
00:32:20.34\00:32:24.31
It's scriptural.
00:32:24.34\00:32:25.67
What I have done
to you do unto others.
00:32:25.71\00:32:28.48
So I think, you and
I said before I repeat,
00:32:28.51\00:32:30.05
I haven't forgotten that.
00:32:30.08\00:32:31.41
So we get an opportunity
to help somebody else.
00:32:31.45\00:32:33.48
We want to help somebody else
00:32:33.52\00:32:34.85
'cause it's
always comes back to me.
00:32:34.88\00:32:37.02
Remember what I did for you.
00:32:37.05\00:32:38.45
That explains why
you've been so giving.
00:32:38.49\00:32:40.96
Oh, I don't know about
that. But, I know Lord is good.
00:32:40.99\00:32:45.73
Let me share in
closing of this section
00:32:45.76\00:32:48.76
of this arsenal
of heavenly powers.
00:32:48.80\00:32:52.67
This is from
Prophets and Kings 571,
00:32:52.70\00:32:55.60
it reads, "But
through the conflict..."
00:32:55.64\00:32:58.61
Excuse me.
00:32:58.64\00:32:59.97
"But though the conflict
00:33:00.01\00:33:01.34
is a ceaseless one
here on this earth,"
00:33:01.38\00:33:03.61
we know that right.
00:33:03.65\00:33:05.38
"None would've promised.
00:33:05.41\00:33:07.35
None are left to struggle alone.
00:33:07.38\00:33:10.05
Angels help to protect those
who walk humbly before God.
00:33:10.09\00:33:15.12
Never will our Lord
betray one who trusts Him
00:33:15.16\00:33:18.36
as His children draw near to Him
00:33:18.39\00:33:20.33
for protection from
evil and pity and love.
00:33:20.36\00:33:23.43
He lifts up for them a
standard against the enemy,
00:33:23.47\00:33:27.47
touch them not He
says for they are mine.
00:33:27.50\00:33:30.81
I have graven them
upon the palms of my hand."
00:33:30.84\00:33:34.04
Praise the Lord
00:33:34.08\00:33:35.41
And as Pastor John
referred to Psalms 91:11,
00:33:35.44\00:33:40.18
"For He shall give His
angels charge over thee,
00:33:40.22\00:33:43.62
to keep thee in all thy ways."
00:33:43.65\00:33:46.35
Amen.
00:33:46.39\00:33:47.72
God has begun a good work
in each and every one of us
00:33:47.76\00:33:50.26
and He's going to
see it to completion.
00:33:50.29\00:33:52.99
Isn't that wonderful promises?
00:33:53.03\00:33:54.76
We share these stories to you,
00:33:54.80\00:33:57.13
for you to give
you encouragement.
00:33:57.17\00:33:59.60
Maybe you've never
had that experience,
00:33:59.63\00:34:01.54
but as you draw close to Jesus,
00:34:01.57\00:34:03.84
you can claim all
these wonderful promises
00:34:03.87\00:34:06.31
for your very own
00:34:06.34\00:34:07.81
because God has an angel
that is assigned just for you.
00:34:07.84\00:34:12.11
Amen. Let me
share another story.
00:34:12.15\00:34:15.45
We've had so many
examples in our lives.
00:34:15.48\00:34:18.42
And I say this how we
have lost important things.
00:34:18.45\00:34:23.49
And the Lord has
always found them for us.
00:34:23.53\00:34:26.09
Amen.
00:34:26.13\00:34:27.46
I mean, we could
just write a book
00:34:27.50\00:34:28.83
of all these things
00:34:28.86\00:34:30.20
that were lost
and the Lord found it.
00:34:30.23\00:34:32.30
We were in Miami airport.
00:34:32.33\00:34:35.47
And I just, it was
2009 and I never forget that
00:34:35.50\00:34:39.94
because I had purchased a laptop
00:34:39.97\00:34:42.14
for my wife for Christmas.
00:34:42.18\00:34:43.61
I remember very
well, it's brand new,
00:34:43.65\00:34:45.05
got a bag and everything and,
00:34:45.08\00:34:46.51
you know, how
ladies when you travel,
00:34:46.55\00:34:47.88
Tammy, I don't know,
00:34:47.92\00:34:49.25
if you do the same
thing but most women's bags,
00:34:49.28\00:34:51.55
it could be an overnight bag,
especially if they're on plane.
00:34:51.59\00:34:55.82
Everything you need,
00:34:55.86\00:34:57.19
is a phone, wallet,
brush and comb, everything.
00:34:57.23\00:35:01.16
If you lose it, it's
like your life is over.
00:35:01.20\00:35:03.77
So here we are in the airport
00:35:03.80\00:35:05.63
and we're crossing a bit
00:35:05.67\00:35:08.77
in Miami upper
crossing to the median.
00:35:08.80\00:35:11.94
And I'm dragging this luggage
00:35:11.97\00:35:13.31
and I see in the back
00:35:13.34\00:35:14.68
kind of jumping up
and down like this.
00:35:14.71\00:35:16.31
And I said, I came
and asked, "What's wrong?"
00:35:16.34\00:35:18.65
She said, "Tell me,
you have my purse, my bag."
00:35:18.68\00:35:22.72
You know, 'cause it's
beyond the purse at that point.
00:35:22.75\00:35:25.25
I said and I grabbed her
by her shoulders and I said,
00:35:25.29\00:35:27.82
"I don't have it,
but I will find it."
00:35:27.86\00:35:30.26
This is Miami airport. Oh wow.
00:35:30.29\00:35:33.36
And I had my bags and I
have a way of forgetting
00:35:33.40\00:35:38.13
if I have so many things
in my hand just carrying.
00:35:38.17\00:35:41.90
And my laptop bag
00:35:41.94\00:35:43.97
with my wallet
and everything in it.
00:35:44.01\00:35:46.57
Everything and I said
"John, tell me you have my bag.
00:35:46.61\00:35:51.18
Tell me you have
it." And I got it.
00:35:51.21\00:35:53.18
You know, it was
in a new leather bag.
00:35:53.21\00:35:54.98
Everything is all brand
new and everything just.
00:35:55.02\00:35:58.15
And I said, "I
don't, but I will find it."
00:35:58.19\00:36:01.39
And I'm thinking this is Miami.
00:36:01.42\00:36:03.96
If you left that in the airport,
00:36:03.99\00:36:06.03
the chances of finding
all that is going to be nil.
00:36:06.06\00:36:09.10
I left everything,
ran across the median.
00:36:09.13\00:36:11.97
I mean, I'm just
like, I just made a promise.
00:36:12.00\00:36:16.04
And I finally
get to the airport,
00:36:16.07\00:36:18.07
and outside of the airport,
00:36:18.11\00:36:20.18
I see a police
officer standing over her bag,
00:36:20.21\00:36:26.35
and he has his radio.
00:36:26.38\00:36:28.38
And I walk up to him.
00:36:28.42\00:36:30.25
I'm exhausted, I
could hardly breath, I said,
00:36:30.29\00:36:34.46
"That's my wife's bag.
00:36:34.49\00:36:37.23
He just picked it
up and gave it to me.
00:36:37.26\00:36:38.69
I take it.
00:36:38.73\00:36:40.06
Nobody's going to
go through all that.
00:36:40.10\00:36:41.60
He didn't question you.
00:36:41.63\00:36:42.96
He didn't question me,
he didn't say anything.
00:36:43.00\00:36:44.47
He just found it right there
00:36:44.50\00:36:46.30
and just gave it
to me and I thought
00:36:46.33\00:36:48.50
and this is just
one of the example,
00:36:48.54\00:36:50.24
one of the many, many, many,
00:36:50.27\00:36:51.61
many, many, many
examples of how the Lord works,
00:36:51.64\00:36:54.04
but just one
last one in Australia.
00:36:54.08\00:36:57.71
This is amazing.
00:36:57.75\00:36:59.98
I'm going to AYC in Australia,
00:37:00.02\00:37:01.88
it was like a
GYC here in America,
00:37:01.92\00:37:04.02
lot of young people get together
00:37:04.05\00:37:05.45
to have a youth congress.
00:37:05.49\00:37:07.62
We finally get to Australia
00:37:07.66\00:37:09.09
which is a day
and a half in time.
00:37:09.12\00:37:10.76
If it's Wednesday
here it's Thursday there.
00:37:10.79\00:37:12.69
And then we get to
the hotel we check in,
00:37:12.73\00:37:14.76
let's carry our
bags up to steps.
00:37:14.80\00:37:16.56
While I pick up my laptop
bag, it's as light as a feather.
00:37:16.60\00:37:19.37
I open it my laptop is gone.
00:37:19.40\00:37:22.34
And Angela said, "Are you sure."
00:37:22.37\00:37:23.81
I said, "Do you have my laptop."
00:37:23.84\00:37:26.14
She said, "No." I
said, "It's not in my bag.
00:37:26.17\00:37:27.91
It's gone." Oh, no.
00:37:27.94\00:37:30.61
I remember in San Francisco
00:37:30.65\00:37:32.88
putting it on the belt
to go through the scanner.
00:37:32.91\00:37:37.05
I'm here in Australia.
00:37:37.09\00:37:40.66
I'm doing a seminar tomorrow.
00:37:40.69\00:37:42.76
Everything is in that.
00:37:42.79\00:37:44.29
Well, how am I going to get it?
00:37:44.33\00:37:46.70
I'm just at my wits end.
00:37:46.73\00:37:49.80
So what do I
do? What time is it?
00:37:49.83\00:37:52.13
I know time is here,
00:37:52.17\00:37:53.50
but called San
Francisco airport...
00:37:53.54\00:37:56.50
called nothing caught.
00:37:56.54\00:37:58.37
I said, "Okay, well I guess time
00:37:58.41\00:37:59.97
is just like
2:30 in the morning."
00:38:00.01\00:38:01.68
And we just called again,
called again, called again,
00:38:01.71\00:38:03.65
finally got through.
00:38:03.68\00:38:05.08
"How can we help you?"
00:38:05.11\00:38:06.45
I said, I left my...
00:38:06.48\00:38:08.88
and I talked about the terminal.
00:38:08.92\00:38:10.29
They said, "Sir,
people don't turn in laptops."
00:38:10.32\00:38:15.62
I mean, "We'll check and see."
00:38:15.66\00:38:18.19
"But people
don't turn in laptops.
00:38:18.23\00:38:19.79
Do you mean
laptops are lost every day
00:38:19.83\00:38:22.73
people don't turn those in."
00:38:22.76\00:38:24.10
"But call back in about an hour
00:38:24.13\00:38:28.20
because if it's
anywhere the lost and found
00:38:28.24\00:38:30.51
will be open in
about an hour, call back."
00:38:30.54\00:38:32.44
I call lost and found they said,
00:38:32.47\00:38:33.84
"Well, we have one
place here in the airport.
00:38:33.88\00:38:37.21
If it was found and
turned in, it will be there."
00:38:37.25\00:38:40.62
So a phone number I call,
00:38:40.65\00:38:42.48
they said,
"Could you describe it."
00:38:42.52\00:38:45.59
Sometimes people turn
it. "Could you describe it."
00:38:45.62\00:38:46.96
I described.
00:38:46.99\00:38:48.32
They said,
00:38:48.36\00:38:49.69
"Well, we have one
00:38:49.72\00:38:51.06
that kind of
fits that description.
00:38:51.09\00:38:52.43
Do you know the password."
00:38:52.46\00:38:53.80
I gave the password.
00:38:53.83\00:38:55.16
I said when it
starts up, they said,
00:38:55.20\00:38:56.67
"We have it."
00:38:56.70\00:38:58.63
You have my laptop.
00:38:58.67\00:39:00.77
Now...
00:39:00.80\00:39:02.14
How do you get it?
00:39:02.17\00:39:03.51
Hey, but this is
what blows me away.
00:39:03.54\00:39:06.78
The name of the agency
00:39:06.81\00:39:08.24
that had it
00:39:08.28\00:39:10.08
you couldn't come
up with this name.
00:39:10.11\00:39:13.72
God speaks in unusual ways.
00:39:13.75\00:39:15.48
Covenant Security was
the name of the company.
00:39:15.52\00:39:21.16
Covenant Security.
Am I telling the truth?
00:39:21.19\00:39:24.09
Yes. Yes. Covenant.
00:39:24.13\00:39:26.56
You make a covenant
with God, you have security.
00:39:26.59\00:39:28.80
Amen. Covenant Security?
00:39:28.83\00:39:30.77
"Yes, we have it here."
00:39:30.80\00:39:32.13
"Can you send it to me by FedEx,
00:39:32.17\00:39:33.60
I need it tomorrow."
00:39:33.64\00:39:34.97
"Sir, we don't FedEx anything."
00:39:35.00\00:39:36.57
So how I'm going to get it.
00:39:36.60\00:39:37.94
Can you send over...
00:39:37.97\00:39:39.31
"No we... I'll pay for it."
00:39:39.34\00:39:40.71
"We don't do that.
Somebody has to pick it up."
00:39:40.74\00:39:43.91
And bring it there. Bring it.
00:39:43.95\00:39:45.98
And this and next
thing they found it,
00:39:46.01\00:39:47.45
but how am I going to get it.
00:39:47.48\00:39:49.15
I said all the
speakers already up here.
00:39:49.18\00:39:51.89
No, there's one
pastor that hasn't come yet.
00:39:51.92\00:39:54.06
I have a pastor Ivan Meyer.
00:39:54.09\00:39:56.12
Where does he live?
He lives in San Jose.
00:39:56.16\00:39:59.36
And just that I
think he has to go either
00:39:59.39\00:40:01.83
to San Jose or San Francisco,
00:40:01.86\00:40:03.90
calls him, he answers the phone.
00:40:03.93\00:40:05.90
"Ivan, where are you?"
"I'm on my way to the airport."
00:40:05.93\00:40:08.67
"Which
airport?" "San Francisco."
00:40:08.70\00:40:12.67
I cut the long story short.
00:40:12.71\00:40:14.08
I have my laptop two
hours before the presentation.
00:40:14.11\00:40:16.44
Amen. Beautiful.
00:40:16.48\00:40:18.01
This is the tip of the iceberg.
00:40:18.05\00:40:19.71
But God, when you
make a covenant with God,
00:40:19.75\00:40:22.05
when you make a
covenant with God,
00:40:22.08\00:40:23.49
you've got security.
00:40:23.52\00:40:25.09
Yes.
00:40:25.12\00:40:26.45
He will look out for
the needs of His children.
00:40:26.49\00:40:28.52
And never put you in a position
00:40:28.56\00:40:29.89
because I was
going to do His work.
00:40:29.92\00:40:31.79
It was all on that laptop.
00:40:31.83\00:40:34.43
And I had it on
time and I just...
00:40:34.46\00:40:37.13
we looked at that I mean,
we could tell stories forever.
00:40:37.17\00:40:39.43
We'll just do a program one day
00:40:39.47\00:40:40.80
on family worship
for always on time.
00:40:40.84\00:40:43.30
There you go.
00:40:43.34\00:40:45.04
And so he gives his
angels charge over us.
00:40:45.07\00:40:47.64
Thus, who ever found that
00:40:47.68\00:40:49.68
had to be honest
enough to turn it in.
00:40:49.71\00:40:51.05
Yes, that's right.
00:40:51.08\00:40:52.71
In this day and age
where laptops are...
00:40:52.75\00:40:54.65
Yes.
00:40:54.68\00:40:56.02
See that may be another example
of an angel turning that in
00:40:56.05\00:40:58.85
and you will never know
till we get to the kingdom.
00:40:58.89\00:41:00.22
Exactly.
00:41:00.26\00:41:01.59
And maybe we shouldn't
go on to the full armor
00:41:01.62\00:41:03.49
because we were
about to run out of time.
00:41:03.53\00:41:05.59
But, you know,
when they were talking,
00:41:05.63\00:41:07.43
it reminded me when we
were working in Africa.
00:41:07.46\00:41:10.47
And there were
00:41:10.50\00:41:12.23
several wonderful
stories in Africa.
00:41:12.27\00:41:14.60
But this particular time
00:41:14.64\00:41:16.24
we were there
during the dry season
00:41:16.27\00:41:17.87
so that we were outside,
00:41:17.91\00:41:19.64
and we'd always have
every night about 300 adults,
00:41:19.67\00:41:22.21
and over 300 children come.
00:41:22.24\00:41:24.68
And, you know, they said,
well, if it ever does rain,
00:41:24.71\00:41:27.82
you know, people
they just won't come out
00:41:27.85\00:41:29.42
or if they leave
they won't come back
00:41:29.45\00:41:31.29
'cause there's no most
of them don't have cars.
00:41:31.32\00:41:33.72
If they did get in
something they got in a bus
00:41:33.76\00:41:35.86
and we're talking about
like a sardine, you know.
00:41:35.89\00:41:38.46
And anyway this night,
00:41:38.49\00:41:42.10
all of a sudden
00:41:42.13\00:41:43.47
and we were one of
several groups, okay.
00:41:43.50\00:41:45.87
But all of a sudden we saw
00:41:45.90\00:41:47.24
all this thunder and
lightning in the night sky.
00:41:47.27\00:41:51.14
And here we were out
00:41:51.17\00:41:52.51
with all this electrical
equipment, and computers,
00:41:52.54\00:41:56.11
and, you know,
projectors and everything
00:41:56.14\00:41:59.25
is in the open, the
speakers everything.
00:41:59.28\00:42:01.38
And so we thought, "Oh, wow."
00:42:01.42\00:42:03.28
And it was at a pivotal
moment, if I'm not sure,
00:42:03.32\00:42:05.25
it's either the
Sabbath or the law,
00:42:05.29\00:42:06.69
it was a pivotal time.
00:42:06.72\00:42:08.26
And so we gathered together,
00:42:08.29\00:42:10.49
just stopped the
meeting, gathered together,
00:42:10.53\00:42:12.83
and we pray for
God to open the sky,
00:42:12.86\00:42:15.80
to hold back the wind and
the storm that was coming.
00:42:15.83\00:42:19.80
And at this time,
people were scattering,
00:42:19.83\00:42:21.70
they were already running.
00:42:21.74\00:42:23.30
And when we opened
our eyes I kid you not,
00:42:23.34\00:42:26.37
we were from
clouds and lightning
00:42:26.41\00:42:29.51
to there was just a round open
00:42:29.54\00:42:31.61
and there were stars and
people started coming back.
00:42:31.65\00:42:36.02
You know, when as you
were talking I thought,
00:42:36.05\00:42:37.75
you know, we pray
00:42:37.79\00:42:39.12
and we don't
know how God does it.
00:42:39.15\00:42:41.32
But some of those promises
00:42:41.36\00:42:43.06
that we didn't
even read it talks about
00:42:43.09\00:42:45.06
that He has angels
that do His bidding.
00:42:45.09\00:42:48.06
They could have been the angels
00:42:48.10\00:42:49.60
that just kind of blew
or push those clouds aside.
00:42:49.63\00:42:53.47
Now, we found out
later some of the others
00:42:53.50\00:42:55.44
I guess they didn't pray,
00:42:55.47\00:42:56.81
I'm not sure because
they were rained down.
00:42:56.84\00:42:59.67
But, you know by God's
grace all those sort of,
00:42:59.71\00:43:02.24
we had no rain.
00:43:02.28\00:43:03.61
And that happened two
times. Two different times.
00:43:03.65\00:43:05.91
Two different times.
00:43:05.95\00:43:07.68
And in fact, let me
tell you a computer story.
00:43:07.72\00:43:09.72
You had a computer story there.
00:43:09.75\00:43:11.35
I'm probably talking
too much, you guys jump in,
00:43:11.39\00:43:13.69
stop me any time you want.
00:43:13.72\00:43:15.06
We'll just say amen.
00:43:15.09\00:43:16.79
Somebody stop me.
00:43:16.83\00:43:18.96
Testimony. Yes, testimony.
00:43:18.99\00:43:20.86
We had at that time,
00:43:20.90\00:43:22.23
it was just the laptop computer,
00:43:22.26\00:43:23.60
and we were in this little room,
00:43:23.63\00:43:25.10
and a lady wanted to
come she was not an Adventist,
00:43:25.13\00:43:27.10
but she wanted to come
and have prayer with us.
00:43:27.14\00:43:28.80
And we thought,
"Oh yes, wonderful."
00:43:28.84\00:43:30.37
You know, there's no
running water or anything.
00:43:30.41\00:43:31.91
But we had bottled
water that they provided.
00:43:31.94\00:43:33.34
This is in
Africa? This is in Africa.
00:43:33.38\00:43:35.51
And he got up and just
laid the computer on the floor
00:43:35.54\00:43:38.78
because we didn't have tables.
00:43:38.81\00:43:40.38
And he laid his big
liter of water on the floor
00:43:40.42\00:43:43.42
next to the computer.
00:43:43.45\00:43:45.12
I never thought
anything about it.
00:43:45.15\00:43:46.69
We prayed and we
got down on our knees
00:43:46.72\00:43:49.86
and we prayed for this lady.
00:43:49.89\00:43:51.36
And after she
left, we went over there
00:43:51.39\00:43:53.80
and where the
computer was that were his boot
00:43:53.83\00:43:57.87
ended up during prayer.
00:43:57.90\00:43:59.53
And when we looked at
that the water was falling
00:43:59.57\00:44:03.77
and the computer
was covered with water,
00:44:03.81\00:44:05.97
picked it up and the
water drained out of it.
00:44:06.01\00:44:08.74
And as you know
00:44:08.78\00:44:10.11
they say don't even
drinks around a computer,
00:44:10.15\00:44:13.01
don't get a drop on my computer.
00:44:13.05\00:44:15.75
And so at that time
the computer was still on,
00:44:15.78\00:44:20.06
I believe and but we thought
we've got to dry this off.
00:44:20.09\00:44:25.43
So we turned it off
00:44:25.46\00:44:27.20
and we were trying
to get the screws out
00:44:27.23\00:44:29.33
and we couldn't find
anything to get the screws out.
00:44:29.36\00:44:31.67
And we went back and we
told the rest of our group,
00:44:31.70\00:44:34.07
the singers, and
stuff what had happened.
00:44:34.10\00:44:36.24
And they said, "Oh, boy"
00:44:36.27\00:44:37.61
You kind of stay a
little bit of shock
00:44:37.64\00:44:39.37
and little bit
of seriousness here
00:44:39.41\00:44:41.11
because like with
you, all the stuff we had,
00:44:41.14\00:44:44.25
you know, we've
had big screen outside
00:44:44.28\00:44:46.61
and we were having
things up in different language,
00:44:46.65\00:44:49.08
different things and all that.
00:44:49.12\00:44:50.49
Everything we had
was on that computer
00:44:50.52\00:44:52.42
and looked like it
was going to be a mess.
00:44:52.45\00:44:53.89
Three different languages
and they needed those pictures
00:44:53.92\00:44:56.62
because they could understand
00:44:56.66\00:44:58.79
in their language
a little bit better
00:44:58.83\00:45:00.40
as they saw the visual
and they heard the audio.
00:45:00.43\00:45:03.10
And so it was very important
00:45:03.13\00:45:04.47
and there
weren't computer stores.
00:45:04.50\00:45:05.93
I can imagine.
00:45:05.97\00:45:07.30
Yeah, there was
no place to take it.
00:45:07.34\00:45:08.67
And even if there were,
00:45:08.70\00:45:10.04
where was I going to
get the software, you know.
00:45:10.07\00:45:11.97
We thought she was a
computer specialist though.
00:45:12.01\00:45:14.18
So we prayed about it at lunch.
00:45:14.21\00:45:15.78
We went back and we
started to turn it on,
00:45:15.81\00:45:17.98
it wouldn't come on.
00:45:18.01\00:45:19.35
So we got down beside the
bed and we prayed and prayed
00:45:19.38\00:45:23.12
and then pretty
soon your brother...
00:45:23.15\00:45:25.42
Just don't tell all of that.
Your brother started singing.
00:45:25.45\00:45:28.22
You see, we've
read and we've read
00:45:28.26\00:45:31.36
that there's power
in the name of Jesus.
00:45:31.39\00:45:33.19
There's power when you begin
to sing in the name of Jesus.
00:45:33.23\00:45:36.67
He began to
sing to that computer
00:45:36.70\00:45:38.93
and as he sang it flashed on.
00:45:38.97\00:45:40.90
It flashed on.
00:45:40.94\00:45:42.27
It came back,
00:45:42.30\00:45:43.64
that computer worked
for years after that.
00:45:43.67\00:45:47.11
Oh, yes.
00:45:47.14\00:45:49.18
Whether God sent an
angel to do something or why?
00:45:49.21\00:45:53.65
He was there and
He took care of us.
00:45:53.68\00:45:56.12
Yes, He did. That
was such a blessing.
00:45:56.15\00:45:57.55
Because it was needed
00:45:57.59\00:45:58.92
for His work, for
His honor, for His glory.
00:45:58.95\00:46:01.96
He knew we needed it
and He did not leave us
00:46:01.99\00:46:04.23
as I say none are
left to struggle alone.
00:46:04.26\00:46:07.26
That's right. That's right.
00:46:07.30\00:46:08.63
None are left to struggle alone.
00:46:08.66\00:46:10.13
How wonderful
that is in this world.
00:46:10.17\00:46:11.93
You might feel
like you're all alone,
00:46:11.97\00:46:13.50
you may feel like
you're struggling in your wits
00:46:13.54\00:46:15.87
and you don't know what to
do, but I tell you right now,
00:46:15.90\00:46:17.67
you're not alone.
00:46:17.71\00:46:19.04
I believe that with all my heart
00:46:19.07\00:46:20.41
and I think that it
can be substantiated
00:46:20.44\00:46:22.14
from scripture and
Spirit of Prophecy definitely
00:46:22.18\00:46:25.18
that each one of us
are assigned an angel,
00:46:25.21\00:46:27.62
a guardian angel.
00:46:27.65\00:46:28.98
Pastor, go ahead
you had something.
00:46:29.02\00:46:30.35
This quotation I want to
have as Angie to read, well...
00:46:30.39\00:46:32.82
Go ahead. Go ahead.
00:46:32.85\00:46:34.19
It says, "Could
our eyes be opened?
00:46:34.22\00:46:36.66
We should see forms of
wicked angels around us
00:46:36.69\00:46:38.99
trying to invent some new
way to annoy and destroy us.
00:46:39.03\00:46:42.86
And we should also see
00:46:42.90\00:46:44.23
the angels of God
guarding us from their power."
00:46:44.27\00:46:47.70
Amen Amen.
00:46:47.74\00:46:49.37
Amen. So that
is in Manuscript 7.
00:46:49.40\00:46:53.07
But that is the key.
00:46:53.11\00:46:54.44
If we could see
the battle around us,
00:46:54.48\00:46:55.81
I mean, I don't know
00:46:55.84\00:46:57.18
how many times
have you been delivered
00:46:57.21\00:46:58.55
from something, Bruce.
00:46:58.58\00:46:59.91
Sure. Even car accidents.
00:46:59.95\00:47:01.85
I can remember and
I'll keep it short.
00:47:01.88\00:47:04.15
No, go on now.
00:47:04.19\00:47:05.69
I can remember, I
used to travel a lot.
00:47:05.72\00:47:09.49
We was going 70 mile
an hour down the highway.
00:47:09.52\00:47:12.23
And it was just
stacked with traffic.
00:47:12.26\00:47:14.60
And semi trucks, we
was in the middle lane.
00:47:14.63\00:47:18.13
It was a three lane,
and in the middle lane
00:47:18.17\00:47:20.74
and our tire blew
out, 70 mile an hour...
00:47:20.77\00:47:24.24
Oh, my.
00:47:24.27\00:47:25.61
And I mean, you just can't...
00:47:25.64\00:47:27.44
I don't know if you've ever,
00:47:27.48\00:47:28.81
I've only had
experienced that one time
00:47:28.84\00:47:31.05
and just
completely lost control.
00:47:31.08\00:47:34.65
I mean, there
was no control on it,
00:47:34.68\00:47:36.89
there's semis here,
there's semis there.
00:47:36.92\00:47:39.45
There's no where to go.
00:47:39.49\00:47:40.82
There's semis behind them,
70 mile an hour and somehow,
00:47:40.86\00:47:46.80
it just the wheel...
00:47:46.83\00:47:48.86
I mean the wheels
straightened out...
00:47:48.90\00:47:50.57
Yes, you stayed right in
there in your lane, didn't you?
00:47:50.60\00:47:53.03
And somehow it got
off the side of the road.
00:47:53.07\00:47:55.47
I don't know how to
this day, it had be an angel.
00:47:55.50\00:47:59.44
That's all we understood.
00:47:59.47\00:48:00.81
Amen. Amen.
00:48:00.84\00:48:02.18
Reminded me the song by
Carrie Underwood Angel...
00:48:02.21\00:48:05.28
Oh no, actually it's
Jesus take the wheel,
00:48:05.31\00:48:06.75
but we have the angels of God.
00:48:06.78\00:48:08.15
Yes.
00:48:08.18\00:48:09.52
A lot of us have
laid loved ones to rest,
00:48:09.55\00:48:12.25
we've laid, our, both
of our parents to rest.
00:48:12.29\00:48:15.26
And you think even
though we know they're asleep,
00:48:15.29\00:48:19.76
you just, you think
of them by their side.
00:48:19.79\00:48:21.46
You know,
they're in the cemetery,
00:48:21.50\00:48:22.83
you think they're
there by their self
00:48:22.86\00:48:24.90
even though they're
sleeping, but they're not.
00:48:24.93\00:48:27.64
And that gives me
just such a joy to think
00:48:27.67\00:48:31.17
that my mom's guardian angel
00:48:31.21\00:48:33.11
and my dad's guardian
angel are standing watch
00:48:33.14\00:48:36.11
over those graves
until Jesus call them for.
00:48:36.14\00:48:39.25
They're marked,
Ellen White said.
00:48:39.28\00:48:40.78
That's right. They're marked.
00:48:40.82\00:48:42.15
And you know I did
not know that for years.
00:48:42.18\00:48:44.42
And after my mom died,
00:48:44.45\00:48:45.85
I would just all of a sudden
00:48:45.89\00:48:47.76
I could be in town
and I just start crying.
00:48:47.79\00:48:50.53
And I didn't know what
to do. So I go to her grave.
00:48:50.56\00:48:53.76
And I know that the
dead know not anything,
00:48:53.80\00:48:55.23
I know she couldn't hear me.
00:48:55.26\00:48:56.60
Right. Right.
00:48:56.63\00:48:57.97
But I'd go to the
grave and I'd have this peace
00:48:58.00\00:49:00.00
come over me to hear me.
00:49:00.04\00:49:02.17
And I couldn't understand,
00:49:02.20\00:49:03.54
I told him, I said,
"I don't understand it."
00:49:03.57\00:49:06.31
And I did that
like two or three times
00:49:06.34\00:49:07.94
I'd just be just grieving
and in tears of missing my mom
00:49:07.98\00:49:11.25
and I would go to that grave
00:49:11.28\00:49:12.68
and all of a
sudden I had a peace.
00:49:12.71\00:49:14.48
And then I read that and
the Spirit of God told me
00:49:14.52\00:49:17.62
it's because the
angel is at her grave.
00:49:17.65\00:49:21.79
Where she passed, we
were all singing in the room
00:49:21.82\00:49:24.86
and people
outside, we sang for hours
00:49:24.89\00:49:27.33
'cause she was a singer.
00:49:27.36\00:49:28.70
We talked about that.
00:49:28.73\00:49:30.07
And then the
girls and I would got in
00:49:30.10\00:49:31.63
and we'd read the
Psalms 23, Psalms to her.
00:49:31.67\00:49:35.80
And then as she was...
00:49:35.84\00:49:37.87
They were putting the medicine
00:49:37.91\00:49:39.44
to slow her
breathing and step down.
00:49:39.47\00:49:41.94
We were in there
and we were singing
00:49:41.98\00:49:43.38
and if we stop
singing, she began to labor.
00:49:43.41\00:49:47.12
And you could tell
it just wasn't good.
00:49:47.15\00:49:48.85
We'd start to sing
and she'd calm right down.
00:49:48.88\00:49:51.65
And I'm telling you,
it's like that room filled up.
00:49:51.69\00:49:54.92
We thought if we just did this
00:49:54.96\00:49:56.76
you'd be touching
a wing of an angel.
00:49:56.79\00:49:59.46
And people go
by and they're like
00:49:59.49\00:50:01.03
we can't believe the sounds
00:50:01.06\00:50:03.40
coming out of
this room, the peace.
00:50:03.43\00:50:05.27
It's more than us. Weren't they?
00:50:05.30\00:50:06.77
But it was an assurance.
00:50:06.80\00:50:09.10
It was an insurance
because I felt like the angels
00:50:09.14\00:50:11.64
were there and some day
00:50:11.67\00:50:13.01
we're going to see
our mommas together again.
00:50:13.04\00:50:15.81
I've done the same,
I went to the cemetery,
00:50:15.84\00:50:18.21
and just been grief stricken.
00:50:18.25\00:50:20.38
And I'd just sit
down and the longer
00:50:20.42\00:50:22.52
I'm there the
more comforted I feel.
00:50:22.55\00:50:25.75
And I just think and
like you for many years
00:50:25.79\00:50:29.42
I didn't realize that.
00:50:29.46\00:50:31.06
And then when I think of it now,
00:50:31.09\00:50:33.19
when I think of those
little angels standing there
00:50:33.23\00:50:36.50
and if Jesus doesn't
come and we'll all be there,
00:50:36.53\00:50:40.27
we'll all be in the cemeteries.
00:50:40.30\00:50:41.70
And to think that our
angel will be standing there
00:50:41.74\00:50:44.14
watching over us
until Jesus calls us forth.
00:50:44.17\00:50:46.81
Amen. That made me, yeah.
00:50:46.84\00:50:49.34
That's encouraging,
isn't it? It is encouraging.
00:50:49.38\00:50:51.21
Now, we have about,
what, little over a minute,
00:50:51.25\00:50:52.95
half or so left.
00:50:52.98\00:50:54.32
So any thoughts that you have
to share very quick something,
00:50:54.35\00:50:57.32
may the Lord put on your heart.
00:50:57.35\00:50:58.69
Well, you know we
don't need to know
00:50:58.72\00:51:00.49
how God works.
00:51:00.52\00:51:01.92
We just need to
trust our instinct.
00:51:01.96\00:51:03.99
Because our own understanding
00:51:04.03\00:51:05.36
sometimes get in
the way of how God is.
00:51:05.39\00:51:07.36
God is not logical.
00:51:07.40\00:51:09.86
He's spiritual. He's a spirit.
00:51:09.90\00:51:12.30
And He has sent forth His angels
00:51:12.33\00:51:15.07
to be
ministering spirits to those
00:51:15.10\00:51:17.77
and that's the fact,
00:51:17.81\00:51:19.14
that's He has sent His
angels to be ministering spirits
00:51:19.17\00:51:21.84
to those who are
heirs of salvation.
00:51:21.88\00:51:23.81
So it shouldn't
surprise those of you
00:51:23.85\00:51:25.71
who are children of God
that God has not left us alone.
00:51:25.75\00:51:28.95
I will never leave
you nor forsake you.
00:51:28.98\00:51:30.79
Not only is Holy Spirit,
00:51:30.82\00:51:32.19
but He shall give His
angels charge over you.
00:51:32.22\00:51:34.52
So because we are
heirs of salvation,
00:51:34.56\00:51:37.63
He sent His
angels to minister to us.
00:51:37.66\00:51:40.03
So it's good to just
talk about these stories
00:51:40.06\00:51:42.13
and let people
know God is faithful.
00:51:42.16\00:51:45.33
He is. We know
that for a fact. Amen.
00:51:45.37\00:51:48.00
We are the apple of
His eye. It is real.
00:51:48.04\00:51:50.84
This is a spiritual warfare
00:51:50.87\00:51:52.81
and He has
promised no matter what,
00:51:52.84\00:51:54.68
He will carry us through.
00:51:54.71\00:51:56.04
Amen. Amen.
00:51:56.08\00:51:57.41
I think probably we
have about 37 seconds.
00:51:57.45\00:51:59.88
Pastor John, just to have
maybe a closing prayer for us
00:51:59.91\00:52:02.65
and we end on this
00:52:02.68\00:52:04.02
and thank God for those
beautiful guardian angels
00:52:04.05\00:52:06.35
that ride excel in
strength that guards and guides
00:52:06.39\00:52:08.92
and protects each
and every one of us.
00:52:08.96\00:52:11.09
Yes, loving Father, in
heaven what a blessing to know
00:52:11.13\00:52:15.03
that we are not
in this world alone.
00:52:15.06\00:52:18.00
You said You will give
Your angels charge over us,
00:52:18.03\00:52:20.44
they would minister to us.
00:52:20.47\00:52:22.10
And those watching and
listening to this program,
00:52:22.14\00:52:23.97
Lord, I pray that
they will understand
00:52:24.01\00:52:25.34
that in the
solitude of their moments
00:52:25.37\00:52:26.91
and challenges of their
lives, they are not alone.
00:52:26.94\00:52:30.45
But the angel is
faithful and He will and keep
00:52:30.48\00:52:33.01
the guardian of your
strength around them.
00:52:33.05\00:52:35.68
So give us the wisdom to
know that and to trust you
00:52:35.72\00:52:38.55
that when our lives
00:52:38.59\00:52:39.92
are at that pivotal
place of difficulty,
00:52:39.95\00:52:42.89
we will find our
strength in Your presence.
00:52:42.92\00:52:45.03
In Jesus' name we
pray, amen. Thank you.
00:52:45.06\00:52:46.80
Amen. Amen.
00:52:46.83\00:52:48.16
Praise God.
00:52:48.20\00:52:49.53
