" 01:41 speaking of Jesus... 01:43 "is also able to save to the uttermost 01:46 those who come to God through Him, 01:48 since He always lives to make intercessions for these. " 01:55 What I like to say is this, 01:58 "Intercessory prayer is the highest calling to ministry. " 02:04 There is no higher calling to ministry 02:07 and I say that because we see here 02:11 that it is the ministry of our risen and exalted Lord. 02:16 He is interceding on our behalf 02:19 all day long... all night long... 02:22 so, we're going to talk about the importance of prayer 02:26 and not just praying... ourselves personally 02:30 or even praying together, 02:32 but prayer as evangelism... 02:35 to see the hand of the Lord move across the earth 02:39 and boy, have we got some wonderful people... 02:43 all are prayer warriors. 02:45 Let me introduce our special guests. 02:48 First we have our dear friends Jerry and Janet Page. 02:51 Jerry, you are the Ministerial Secretary 02:55 for the General Conference 02:57 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 02:58 Jerry: You got it right. 03:00 So, the Ministerial Secretary does what? 03:02 Well, we have a team 03:04 and we have seven people that travel all over the world 03:06 to every part of the... every country... everywhere... 03:09 and we work with Pastors... 03:11 our Seventh-day Adventist Pastors 03:12 and their spouses... their children... 03:14 their families and our Elders, 03:16 and Deacons and Deaconesses, so... 03:17 Shelley: You're a Pastor's Pastor, 03:19 that's what you're saying. 03:20 Jerry: We are... and we try to resource the people 03:21 in the local level who resource their pastors 03:23 and work with their church members and everything, 03:25 so... resourcing and caring 03:28 and trying to develop things they need. 03:29 Shelley: Amen... amen... and you all do a lot of traveling, 03:33 how many miles a year do you travel? 03:36 Jerry: Oh, near 200,000 miles a year... 03:37 have some days out of the home 03:40 but we're together... that's kind of nice. 03:41 Shelley: That is. JD Quinn: It certainly is. 03:42 Jerry: And we're still getting along after this... 03:44 Amen... amen... 03:45 I think you know that you just said 03:47 that you just got back from India. 03:48 Jerry: Yeah. 03:50 Right, and then you're blessed that in a couple of days 03:53 you get to go to West Africa, 03:55 so this is a normal routine for you all. 03:57 And I fall asleep a lot and so, you just take over if I do. 04:01 Shelley: Well, I'll tell you what, 04:03 if you fall asleep while you're talking, 04:04 we'll just keep listening, how's that? 04:06 Jerry: That's good... see what I say. 04:08 Shelley: All right, and then, Janet, 04:09 we're so glad to have you 04:11 and you all do come as a couple just as we do, 04:14 we never travel without one another 04:16 but you are the Associate Ministerial... 04:20 Janet: One of the Associates. 04:21 Shelley: One of the Associates. 04:23 Jerry: My favorite one. 04:24 Shelley: Your... She may be your favorite one. 04:27 JD Quinn: Sometimes... yeah. 04:28 And this is something that... 04:31 I don't know if everybody knows, 04:34 I hope you don't mind me telling this, 04:35 but Janet hated to travel before she took this job, 04:40 she hated traveling 04:42 and then, you've been traveling close to 200,000 miles a year 04:47 for the last five years, that's amazing! 04:49 Jerry: Nine years... 04:51 Nine years, that's right, this is your second term... 04:53 nine years... wow, I can't imagine, 04:56 you too, huh, 05:00 now, we also have someone that we've just met 05:04 but Jonathan Walter, you are the Ministerial Association 05:12 Communications Manager for the GC 05:15 but you're also the Vice-President of GYC 05:19 and I understand... Jerry said that you were really 05:22 one of the Founders of GYC in Europe. 05:25 I was part of the team in Europe that... 05:27 that started it a couple of years ago. 05:29 Shelley: Wonderful... wonderful. 05:30 JD Quinn: Obviously the first question people will ask, 05:32 "Where did you grow up?" 05:34 This is not a Texas accent or a southern Illinois accent. 05:37 Jonathan: That is correct, I'm from Austria... 05:40 born and raised in Austria, 05:42 I'm half Norwegian... so my mother is from Norway 05:44 and I grew up there as a Pastor's kid 05:47 and so, I lived all over the country there. 05:51 JD Quinn: Amen. 05:52 Never really picked up fully the accent... 05:54 the local accent where we moved to 05:56 because, then we would move again and it changed... 05:58 so, now, I'm over here in the U.S. 06:01 Okay, and you are married and what are you doing right now, 06:04 I understand... are you living in Michigan? 06:07 No, I used to live in Michigan, 06:09 I was the Pastor in Michigan 06:10 and now I moved to Maryland to work there. 06:13 Okay, okay, well, we're so glad that you're here 06:16 and as I said, this is a live program 06:19 so, we're going to put these three 06:22 on a hot seat later in the program 06:24 in the second hour... 06:26 if you have questions or prayer requests 06:29 we really want to get your prayer requests in 06:34 so, you may e-mail those to us at: live@3abn. tv 06:39 that's: live@3abn. tv 06:42 or you can phone us at 618-627-4651 06:48 and we'll be happy to pray for you tonight, 06:53 we'll be happy... any... any that... 06:55 prayers that we don't get to tonight, 06:58 I understand, you all want to take them with you 07:00 and will pray for them at the General Conference 07:02 but we also have a free offer tonight, 07:08 it is revival and reformation... "Prayer Makes a Difference" 07:14 by Mark Finley 07:15 and we've had a chance to thumb through this... 07:18 it's a beautiful book 07:20 but it has some excellent information in it 07:23 and that's again... you can get this by just e-mailing us 07:28 at: freeoffer@3abn. tv 07:32 or calling 618-627-4651. 07:35 Shelley and I spent probably about 30 minutes earlier 07:39 in reading through this, this is fantastic, 07:42 I mean, this is good, good stuff, 07:44 that is simple to read 07:46 but it's getting right to the point 07:48 and it covers "Prayer" from A to Z. 07:50 Great stories. 07:52 Mark's an excellent author and a writer 07:55 and he is... he knows how to drill down 07:59 to the most important thing doesn't he? 08:01 He's a man of prayer... he lived it. 08:03 Amen, amen. 08:05 All right, JD Quinn, this is live 08:06 and you get to introduce our music. 08:08 I do get to introduce the music and we're blessed 08:11 because we have Moses Brown. 08:14 Moses Brown is going to be singing 08:15 and his precious wife, Jeanette, 08:17 is going to be accompanying him on the piano. 08:19 Pause... 08:23 Piano... 08:34 God sent His Son, 08:40 they called Him Jesus; 08:45 He came to love, 08:49 heal and forgive; 08:54 He bled and died 08:59 to buy my pardon, 09:06 An empty grave is there 09:10 just to prove my Savior lives! 09:17 Because He lives, 09:22 I can face tomorrow, 09:26 Because He lives, 09:31 all fear is gone, 09:37 Because I know... yes I know 09:42 He holds the future, 09:47 My life is worth the living, 09:51 Just because He lives! 09:56 And then one day, 10:02 I'll cross that river 10:08 I'll fight life's final 10:11 war with pain; 10:18 And then, as death 10:23 gives way to victory, 10:28 I'll see the lights of glory 10:32 and I'll know that my Lord lives! 10:39 Because He lives, 10:44 I can face tomorrow, 10:49 Because my God lives, 10:55 all fear is gone, 11:00 Because I know... yes I know 11:05 He holds the future, 11:10 My life is worth the living 11:14 just because He lives, 11:20 Because God lives, 11:25 You can face tomorrow 11:32 Because He lives, 11:36 all fear is gone, 11:42 Because I know, yes I know 11:47 He holds the future, 11:52 My life is worth the living... 11:56 Your life can be worth the living... 12:01 Oh, our life is worth the living 12:07 Just because my God 12:14 lives. 12:18 Piano. 12:22 Amen. 12:25 Amen, that's really good, thank you... 12:27 thank you Moses and Jeanette. 12:28 We do... we appreciate that so much 12:31 and how true that message is, 12:32 well, if you're joining us just a moment late, 12:35 our special guest tonight are Jerry and Janet Page 12:38 and Jonathan Walter 12:40 and we're so glad... they're all here 12:42 from the General Conference 12:43 and Jerry, tonight we're talking about: Prayer as Evangelism. 12:49 Tell us what that's about. 12:51 Well, in these last nine years, 12:53 especially as we've been traveling the whole world, 12:54 every place and every country 12:56 we've just become so much more impressed with the fact 12:59 that... we've always prayed for evangelism... 13:03 prayed for our methods... 13:04 trying to bathe everything in prayer and seeing God work 13:06 but we've realized that in every culture 13:09 and in most every situation 13:10 prayer is one of the best ways to make friends 13:14 and open the door for evangelism, 13:15 it is evangelism, in other words, 13:17 some other cultures whether it's Moslem or Hindu, 13:21 Buddhist, whatever, 13:22 you can pray with them about their family or their needs 13:24 those kinds of things 13:25 because they're very praying people too, 13:28 and it's true in the west or wherever, 13:30 so, that's our burden, I guess, tonight... 13:32 that is to say... prayer is not before, after, and behind prayer 13:36 it is evangelism... 13:39 but it is evangelism in the best way 13:42 and it opens people's heart, 13:43 gives God a chance to show them what's going on in their lives 13:46 and to work miracles for them 13:48 and it can help people want to to know Jesus 13:50 better than anything. 13:51 So, prayer is the wedge for everyone that works out 13:57 which I certainly believe 13:58 because I think that the whole world right now 14:02 is needing hope and even if they're not familiar 14:06 really with the Savior that we believe in, 14:08 there is hope 14:10 and, of course, through the aid of the Holy Spirit 14:13 miracles happen. 14:14 You know, I know that your personal story 14:17 that... a lot of people prayed for you all, Janet, 14:21 even when you were in ministry as a Pastor and Pastor's wife, 14:25 what was their specific prayer for you 14:28 because I know that after they prayed, 14:31 you told me once, people kept praying 14:33 and you thought, "What are they doing?" 14:36 And God changed your life. 14:37 Well, they attended a Seminar Camp Meeting... 14:41 people were... the leader of the Seminar... 14:45 the Pastor, got them to commit to pray for us every day 14:49 because he was the new President 14:51 and the Seminar was on the Holy Spirit 14:54 and how important it is, 14:55 we pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit every day... 14:57 throughout the day... 14:59 not just for ourselves but for our children 15:01 but he got them to commit to pray for us 15:03 as their leaders... for the Holy Spirit. 15:04 At that time, I didn't realize how important it was to pray 15:08 for the baptism of the Holy Spirit every day. 15:11 God grabbed ahold of you all, didn't He? 15:15 But it was two years later but during those two years, 15:21 we'd be in a different church almost every Sabbath, 15:23 someone somewhere would come up and say, 15:25 "We're praying for you and Jerry, 15:26 we're praying for the Holy Spirit in your lives... " 15:28 and I didn't... at that time I thought... 15:30 "So they're praying, what good does that do? 15:32 You know, I've tried prayer and it didn't work for me. " 15:34 But literally, two years later, my life was turned upside down 15:38 God just changed everything. 15:41 I never want to go back to the way it was either. 15:43 Amen... 15:45 amen... 15:46 But you know, Jerry, sometimes people... 15:49 I don't know, the way I say it, 15:51 you know, Jesus was talking about 15:53 that the measure we use would be measured back to us 15:57 and I think that sometimes we put God in a box. 16:01 We pray these little bitty prayers 16:04 kind of like it's almost secondary 16:06 to whatever we're doing or the work 16:08 and I think the Lord wants us to increase 16:11 the measure of our expectation 16:13 because the measure we use will be measured back to us 16:16 and I know Jonathan 16:19 that God just recently did something through you... 16:24 you are a Vice-President of GYC 16:26 and tell us what happened in Iceland. 16:31 Janet: Do you know what GYC is? 16:33 Let's find out what GYC is and then we'll go from there. 16:36 Well, GYC is a movement of young... young people. 16:41 JD Quinn: Meaning what? 16:42 Meaning everything between 15 to 35 and above and beyond, 16:47 and young at heart 16:49 but it's a movement of young people 16:51 and an Organization that seeks to inspire our young people 16:55 to take sacrificial initiative for Christ. 16:57 So, we desire to help young people 17:01 find their purpose in Christ... their identity in Christ 17:03 and then their mission in Christ. 17:05 Shelley: And what does GYC stand for? 17:07 It stands for Generation, Youth, Christ 17:09 because those are sort of the core elements 17:11 of our Organization 17:12 and we want to... it's a global movement... 17:15 it's a grassroots movement, 17:17 it's not organized by the official church 17:19 but just by Seventh-day Adventist Christians... 17:22 by young people who want to do something for Jesus. 17:24 Amen. 17:25 It's volunteer driven... volunteer run... 17:28 and the Lord has blessed it over the years, it's almost... 17:31 almost 20 years now that it's been around. 17:33 Shelley: That's unbelievable. 17:34 And so, GYC puts up an annual Conference 17:38 where thousands of young people from all around the world come 17:41 and there are many affiliate conferences around the world 17:44 in Europe... you mentioned it earlier, 17:46 and then, in South America, 17:47 we are about to start one in Brazil, 17:49 the Lord has been blessing... 17:50 Jerry: Philippines, Indonesia... 17:51 Jonathan: Philippines... all over the world. 17:53 It's just neat to see how God has been using young people 17:56 in a special way. 17:57 And I know... I know here at 3ABN... 18:00 I know that people have been planning all year long 18:04 for the next one. 18:05 I remember, three or four or five years ago, 18:07 he says, "Oh yes, we're going to GYC... we're going to... " 18:10 and it just kind of... as you were mentioning a while ago, 18:13 it just kind of, "Really? 18:15 What's so special about GYC 18:17 that you're planning a year ahead... 18:19 I mean, I wish that we planned a year ahead... 18:23 I mean, so, there is something... 18:26 it is a grassroots movement that has really taken off 18:29 and, of course, it's centered around our Lord and Savior. 18:33 That's right, the Bible... and mission... 18:36 and our prophetic identity as Christians in the last days 18:41 is at the core of... of what GYC stands for. 18:43 And we've been happy to partner with 3ABN over the years 18:46 you know, you've been broadcasting the Conference 18:48 and it's been a huge blessing as well. 18:51 So, tell us how you chose Iceland... 18:54 you're Vice President of missions, 18:57 tell us how you chose Iceland. 18:59 Well, I need to go a little bit back on this, 19:02 over the last couple of years, 19:04 the Lord has really put on the.. on the leaders of GYC 19:07 the burden of prayer. 19:08 We've realized that you can organize things 19:11 in a wonderful way, 19:12 you can do wonderful things through human methods, 19:14 but we... and as Jerry was sharing, 19:17 you can pray before and after... but prayer... 19:20 the importance of prayer has really been put on our hearts, 19:23 and so, we really... we prayed about it 19:26 and we asked God to show us 19:28 how can we make a greater emphasis 19:30 on prayer for young people 19:31 because prayer seems so dusty to some people... 19:33 like, what does... you know, what does prayer do? 19:35 And what God did is... He brought revival to GYC 19:39 we have a Prayer Room at our annual conference 19:43 and I have a picture here with us 19:44 so they're going to put it on the screen for us 19:46 of the Prayer Room 19:48 and what we have seen is that young people desire 19:51 a real experience with God through prayer. 19:53 Just last... last couple of years, 19:55 we have seen 1,000s of young people 19:57 coming at six a. m. in the morning... 19:58 this is voluntary, you know, 20:00 just to unite in prayer 20:01 pleading for the Lord to empty their hearts, 20:04 of sin and selfishness 20:06 and just to be filled with the Holy Spirit 20:09 and to... to find a purpose and clarity 20:12 and it's just so beautiful to see how God has... 20:14 has done that in the past 20:16 and we are seeing how that has changed the direction of GYC 20:20 so, seeing the revival that came through that prayer 20:24 in the Prayer Room at GYC... 20:26 we thought, how can that also be taken into Missions 20:31 and so, over the last two years... 20:33 well, about two years ago, 20:35 we have been praying and thinking, 20:37 "How can we... how can we make a mission for God 20:42 that makes a difference?" 20:43 And the idea came about to go to Iceland... 20:48 a country that is not a typical place 20:50 where people go for mission trips. 20:53 It's right between the United States and... and... 20:56 and... or North America and Europe, 20:58 it's a first world country... highly secular 21:01 and the Christian church has not very... 21:04 I mean, people are Christian on paper 21:07 but there's not really a strong Christian presence anymore 21:11 in Iceland 21:12 and we thought, "Hey, what if we tried to reach that country?" 21:16 And so, all kinds of ideas came up, 21:18 "Well, we could go and knock on every door in the country. " 21:20 "We could do evangelistic meetings... " 21:21 we could do all kinds of things 21:23 but God made it very clear for us to... to... 21:28 to take a different approach and that was not easy to accept 21:32 because when God put the idea in our hearts 21:36 to just go and pray, 21:37 we were kind of thrown into a little bit of a tension there 21:41 because you... you think about it, 21:42 you know, when we say... we want to do a mission trip, 21:44 you know, people go and build churches... 21:46 they build houses... 21:47 they... they do something tangible, 21:49 right, and so, when you pray you feel like 21:53 you're not doing anything that is physical in a way. 21:56 Shelley: But when you say, "Go and pray" 21:58 are you talking about praying with the people of Iceland? 22:02 Jonathan: Well, many things, first of all, the... the... 22:06 the group of the mission itself had to be bathed in prayer 22:09 but then, yes, we would go and pray for people, 22:13 we would pray with people at their doors, 22:16 what we did was, we would go from door to door 22:18 knocking on doors... offering to pray with them 22:23 and give them an opportunity to connect with God. 22:26 Janet: Did you plan to do that to begin with or 22:29 was it at first, you were just going to go and pray 22:31 in the country? 22:33 Yes, so, we... we were just thinking about what we should do 22:35 and we said, "Okay, pray but how should we be doing this?" 22:38 we thought about just praying for the country 22:40 and just "Prayer Walking" 22:42 but then, God made it very clear... 22:43 we should... we should engage with the people 22:45 and we did both, 22:47 we had teams "prayer walking" around the cities 22:50 and throughout all the streets. 22:51 We had people praying for every home that we came across, 22:54 in the capital region where 75% of the country lives 22:58 and then we had people praying with people 23:01 from door to door. 23:03 Shelley: Okay, explain "Prayer Walking" 23:05 because there's going to be somebody that's talking about... 23:07 "What do you mean... you're walking while you're praying?" 23:09 What does it mean? 23:11 Jonathan: That's pretty much it. 23:12 Janet: With your eyes open. 23:14 Jonathan: Yes, yes, yes. 23:15 Shelley: What's the purpose of "Prayer Walking" 23:17 what is the objective? 23:19 Jonathan: So, "Prayer Walking" really, 23:20 the objective is to... to be in a mindset of prayer 23:24 and to let God show your mission field 23:27 to know... to... to... when you "Prayer Walk" 23:29 you're very intentional in how you look at your territory 23:32 and you start interceding for people you see... 23:35 you start interceding for every home that you see 23:38 and you are claiming territory for God, 23:40 when you think of Joshua... the book of Joshua... 23:43 God told him every... where you put your foot 23:47 this is your... you're claiming that territory for God in a way, 23:50 and so we... we wanted to... 23:53 we saw the power of prayer and presence 23:55 because when you are there and you're praying, 23:58 that means the devil has no space there. 24:00 You are bringing the angels and the Holy Spirit with you 24:04 as you go... not that God can't get there 24:06 but as you're interceding specifically 24:08 for certain houses and people, 24:09 God has now... in the light of the great controversy 24:13 between good and evil... 24:14 here is now an opportunity to work in that situation 24:17 and that's what we saw at the doors... in many, many ways. 24:21 Jerry: Let me just intercede, one of our great burdens is, 24:24 we don't really believe enough 24:26 that there's a real war going on unseen... 24:29 between Satan and his angels and Christ 24:31 Daniel 10 talks about how Gabriel could not get to Daniel 24:35 for 21 days and fight through the Prince 24:37 so, this... this idea of going and praying 24:40 or walking or driving or whatever, 24:42 also, is that that thing of... 24:44 every earnest prayer of faith we pray... 24:46 God sends an angel to be stationed somewhere 24:48 that's most difficult... 24:50 2nd Corinthians 10 talks about the strongholds, 24:51 how we need to talk on the strongholds in this world... 24:54 they're everywhere... we can tell you, 24:55 every country, every culture, every... 24:57 and... and we're not going to break through them 25:00 without some massive prayer, so, it's a real war 25:04 and so, the Prayer Walking seems kind of like we're just 25:06 somewhere around doing something stupid 25:08 but we're really stationing angels. 25:10 Jonathan: It was very intentional for us. 25:12 I remember, this meant a lot to me, 25:16 I think the first year we went to Soquel, 25:17 we were invited there, 25:19 I don't know, we're going back probably ten years ago, 25:21 before... and that was what intentionally 25:26 you had your soldiers... your... 25:28 I'm going to say, your people... 25:30 Shelley: Explain what Soquel is for people who don't know. 25:33 Southern California Camp Meeting. 25:35 Janet: Central California. 25:36 JD Quinn: Excuse me... big, big difference, 25:39 excuse me... let's correct that... 25:41 but you had the people walking through the facilities praying. 25:47 Janet: The Sabbath before it began, it began Thursday night, 25:50 we invited anyone who could come 25:52 and "prayer walk" the whole area. 25:55 Amazing things happened, 25:57 because as what you talked about earlier, 26:00 just trying to stay in touch with God and how to pray 26:02 we felt impressed to pray 26:04 that people cleaning the restrooms would be converted. 26:07 I had no idea who cleaned the restrooms because we were new 26:10 and come to find out they had someone almost 24/7 26:14 because you have 1,000s of people... 26:16 you know what that would create... 26:17 that year, three people were converted... 26:21 gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. 26:22 It was just incredible. 26:24 Shelley: You know what people don't understand, I think, 26:26 is... it's kind of like, 26:28 "What do you mean 'Intercessory Prayer?'" 26:31 That means to be praying for someone else, 26:33 you're holding them before the throne of grace 26:36 asking for God to intercede on their behalf 26:38 and people will say, 26:39 "Well, doesn't God do these things anyway?" 26:43 but you know, how I explain it is 26:45 it is like... see... 26:48 God will never force Himself on anyone, 26:50 He will not coerce, 26:52 so, He has intentionally limited Himself, 26:56 it's like handcuffs of love that He has said, 26:59 "Okay, I've given you free will, 27:01 I'm not going to interfere without permission 27:04 so, like, when I prayed for my sister who was a drug addict, 27:07 she wasn't praying for herself 27:11 and so, God had His handcuffs of love on 27:14 and it's like, to me, when you're praying, 27:17 it's... you're giving God permission 27:21 to intercede and intervene in her life. 27:24 So, he's doing something in a response to your prayer 27:29 that might not happened if you hadn't prayed. 27:30 Janet: Right, right, I'm convinced the reason is, 27:33 it's just like witnessing. 27:34 The very rocks could cry out... angels could do it... 27:38 but God wants us to do it, 27:39 the same way with prayer, because we are so blessed. 27:42 Incredible. 27:44 That's what we saw... the young people... 27:46 we had 50 young people from all around the world, 27:48 that's a miracle in itself 27:49 because we had so many challenges, 27:51 the devil was really trying to stop this mission from happening 27:53 I'm not going to go into all the details 27:55 He brought 50 young people... exceeded our expectations... 28:00 I prayed for 20 and the Lord brought us 50 28:02 from six continents... from all over the world, 28:05 I think that He did that on purpose 28:07 because He wants us to spread 28:08 and, I mean, we had people from the Philippines flying in, 28:11 young and old... 28:13 some people had never been on a mission trip before, 28:15 some people had never been to GYC before, 28:17 and they came and were transformed, 28:20 I mean, we all were including myself, 28:22 we all experienced revival and transformation of our hearts 28:28 and a transformation of our prayer life, 28:29 these young... some young people were sharing with me... 28:31 they were saying, 28:33 "I had never prayed before 28:37 in, you know, to... in such an intensity, 28:40 I've never prayed this much in my entire life 28:43 that I prayed in this one week. " 28:45 And so, we just saw an incredible 28:46 transformation of life, 28:48 I have a couple of pictures we can put on... 28:50 on the screen for our Viewers. 28:52 This is actually from the GYC Prayer Room 28:56 you see there were lots of people 28:59 praying together unitedly. 29:00 Shelley: At 6 o'clock in the morning 29:02 that you could get those young people. 29:03 Jonathan: Thousand people... it was incredible. 29:04 If you can go to the next pictures... 29:06 we see here... 29:08 the next one should be about... from Iceland... 29:11 here's an interesting thing, 29:12 we didn't notice, 29:14 but in the exact same time that we were there, 29:17 there was Pride Week going on in Iceland. 29:20 If you go to the next picture, you see they had the colors 29:23 even within the church. 29:25 This is the central major church of Iceland, 29:27 and so, there was this... this glorification of... 29:32 of sin going on in the exact same timeframe 29:35 that we were there for our prayer mission 29:38 and so, we just felt the great controversy 29:40 that goes to the next level there 29:42 and it just gave us more reason to pray and intercede 29:45 as you were sharing for people who are struggling 29:48 with the issues of this world and with sin, 29:50 and so, to the point of... 29:54 of intercession and connecting people with God in Iceland 29:59 because it is so secular of a country 30:01 as well as many other countries in Europe. 30:03 There is... there is a great need for people to connect 30:08 with something spiritual. 30:09 They don't realize that there is a God. 30:12 Young people have no memory of the gospel, 30:15 they don't... they have not heard of it... 30:17 I remember one young person I had a divine appointment with 30:21 when I was going on "prayer walking" there, 30:23 he was maybe 13... 14 years old 30:25 and I shared with him what I'm doing, 30:27 I said, "Do you want prayer... 30:29 anything I can pray for you in your life?" 30:31 And he said, "What is prayer?" 30:33 He had never even heard of that before. 30:35 Shelley: That's unbelievable. 30:36 Jonathan: And he was telling me, 30:37 "Well, I struggle with depression" 30:39 a 13... 14-year-old 30:40 and so we prayed together. 30:42 Another time, we... 30:44 I mean, these... they're called as divine appointments, 30:47 I came to one door and knocked on the door 30:48 and there was this lady 30:49 and I told her what we were doing, 30:51 she's like, "God sent you here" she said... 30:55 "my son is struggling with depression 30:58 and with alcoholism 31:00 and I... I need prayer... 31:01 I need something to happen here. " 31:04 And so, we prayed... we held hands together... 31:06 I never met this person before, 31:07 and she hugged me twice and thanked me 31:09 and multiple times, people told us, 31:11 "You know, you're a miracle. " 31:14 "Thank you... you made my day. " 31:16 And to see how... how the face of people changes 31:21 when you pray with them, 31:22 you know, you might... 31:24 when you pray for a person... 31:27 I remember one person... 31:29 a 20-year-old... young man... 31:31 I knocked on the door, he opened the door... 31:32 and I thought, "Oh dear, he's just going to send me away, 31:35 he's probably not interested in anything spiritual... " 31:38 but that's not true... we all long for spiritual things 31:41 we just don't realize it 31:42 and so, I told him what we're doing 31:45 and he said, "Well, I had my wisdom teeth removed recently 31:49 and it's hurting, can you pray for that?" 31:51 I'm like, "Sure, let's pray" 31:52 and so, we prayed, right there and then 31:56 and afterwards, I could just see in his face that... 31:59 we prayed for small little funny thing almost, 32:02 but the point is not so much always in 32:05 what you're praying for 32:06 but just in the fact that you're having a spiritual moment 32:09 because this young person might have never had the Holy Spirit 32:13 so... so present in his life as he had it in that moment. 32:19 So, when you pray with people 32:21 who have never had a connection like that before, 32:23 they're feeling and experiencing something that... 32:25 that goes into the heart. 32:27 Shelley: Amen. 32:28 Jonathan: And so, it was just beautiful to see 32:30 that people were crying after we prayed with them 32:32 and the Lord just connected us with all these people 32:35 and this is one of the most secular countries in the world. 32:37 We always say, "Oh, evangelism doesn't work. " 32:39 Well, I'll tell you, prayer works. 32:41 But you know, had you gone in 32:44 and done a typical "Evangelistic Series" 32:49 sending out... sending out brochures or something, 32:53 it probably had very little response 32:57 but because you had that personal interest 33:00 and you were involving God and the Holy Spirit, 33:02 God moved. 33:04 Jonathan: I think a key point was our United Prayer. 33:06 I have a couple of more pictures that people can see 33:08 if you can put that on there right now, 33:10 this is the group... not all of them but most of them 33:12 as we gathered there, we stayed at a little school 33:15 in the countryside 33:16 and if you go to the next picture, 33:18 you'll see, we spent our mornings in united prayer 33:21 just like the Prayer Room we saw earlier 33:23 and if you go to the next picture, 33:25 I think there are a couple more here, 33:26 just pleading that God will use us 33:29 and pleading... interceding for a city... 33:31 interceding for the people that we would meet that day 33:33 just bathing it in prayer 33:35 because we know the devil is trying to stop us... 33:37 we had all kinds of issues with car problems 33:40 and not getting around but the Lord worked it out 33:43 and He just blessed us in a wonderful way. 33:46 So, God gave us an opportunity to experience Him... 33:50 experiencing Him in this secular environment 33:55 and He proved to us that the most important work 33:59 for evangelism is prayer 34:01 and prayer is evangelism as you were saying. 34:04 Shelley: Amen. 34:05 But these people, as you think about it, 34:07 they need the truths of the Bible 34:10 but before they can be presented... 34:13 before we present the truths of the Bible with them, 34:15 they need a connection with God 34:17 and so that was, I think, the key point 34:20 so, yeah, evangelistic meetings and the seminars... 34:23 the Bible Studies... they will come 34:24 but the first step is a connection with your Maker. 34:28 Shelley: So what kind of effect did this have 34:30 on the local churches? 34:32 Jonathan: That was a very exciting thing to... 34:35 the local churches would have about 140 active members, 34:40 140 or so... 34:41 and we... we told them that we were coming 34:45 and we collaborated with the local leaders 34:48 and we invited them to join us as well 34:51 and few of them actually joined us on the prayer mission 34:53 and that was a blessing 34:54 and I remember on the first Sabbath that we were there, 34:58 one of the ladies came with us and she was so excited 35:01 because she had never done this before 35:03 and she's a physical therapist 35:05 and she said, "I want to... I want to do this... 35:08 continue this in the work that I do 35:10 and she... I didn't mention, we actually used also these 35:14 Glow Tracts when we were praying... 35:17 when we prayed with people, 35:18 we would always give them a Glow Tract 35:20 called: Talking with God. 35:22 This is a little tract that just talks about prayer. 35:24 We translated it into Icelandic 35:26 and so we would give it to people 35:28 and on there, there was also a website 35:31 that they can go to if they want more prayer 35:34 or more Bible Studies 35:35 or anything that they want. 35:37 We had thousands of people go to that website 35:39 but, you asked about the local members, 35:41 that lady... she... she said she was going to use this 35:44 and she did and sure enough in that week 35:47 as we were going from door to door, 35:49 we met somebody who that church member had witnessed to 35:52 just a couple of days before 35:54 and the Lord just connected us again. 35:56 Another effect that this mission had on the locals 36:00 was that we had the blessing of... of... 36:04 of seeing revival take place 36:06 individually but also as a group. 36:09 They were having an important conference meeting 36:12 and at the opportunity there, 36:14 we were pleading for their 36:15 Constituency Meeting of the Conference 36:17 and we were told that they could feel a different spirit 36:21 taking place there 36:22 and, in fact, the church members there decided 36:25 that their three major leaders of the Conference 36:28 all three of them are from now on 36:30 responsible for Prayer Ministries. 36:33 Jerry: They brought this on officially 36:34 at the Constituency Meetings, "You're all... all officers 36:36 are now Prayer Ministries Coordinators. 36:37 Shelley: Praise the Lord, 36:39 now, I think you brought a short video, did you not? 36:41 Yes, so... we had a feeling that God would do something special 36:48 and so, we wanted to... we wanted to document 36:51 this... this experiment... this prayer experiment 36:54 and so, we brought a videographer 36:57 Danitte Trasmetz and she's working right now 37:01 on putting together this documentary 37:03 but she sent me the introduction of the documentary video 37:05 which we will be releasing 37:07 and we'll gladly give it to you to show on 3ABN if you want to 37:10 but we have the introduction video here 37:13 so we can play that right now for people to see. 37:15 Shelley: All right, thank you. 37:16 Video. 38:21 Lord, give me Iceland. 38:26 Video continues. 38:49 Hmmm... I got chill bumps when he said, "Give me Iceland" 38:53 that's the kind of prayers God likes to hear 38:56 not just praying for this or praying for that 38:59 but "Give me Iceland" amen. 39:02 And I've got to say, 39:04 we cannot take any credit for what happened. 39:06 It was truly the Lord... it was truly answered prayer 39:10 and I can tell... 39:12 the missionaries who went... they can testify to this 39:14 because at times, we seemed quite unorganized 39:16 but the Lord just worked things out 39:18 but I'll have to say this, 39:20 what was really beautiful about this is 39:21 we ourselves felt like an answer... 39:24 we were the answer 39:26 to a prayer that has been prayed long before. 39:29 I was told that a group of people in Iceland 39:32 had been praying for God to do something... 39:35 to bring people to help them 39:38 to bring revival and to... 39:41 to reach out to their country in a large way 39:43 and they had been praying for years 39:46 and we only found out about this later, 39:48 but they saw that as an answer to their prayer 39:51 but here's the interesting thing. 39:53 It was not just people from 39:55 the Seventh-day Adventist Church praying, 39:57 when we were going from door to door, 39:58 one of our missionaries knocked on one person's door 40:01 and shared with them what we were doing 40:03 and the people there couldn't believe what we were doing 40:06 because here are all these foreigners coming... 40:08 they're used to foreigners in Iceland... all the tourists... 40:10 but here are these people coming not to check out all the sites 40:13 but to pray and they were saying, 40:16 they were saying, "Well, we are also Christians 40:19 and we have been praying for revival in Iceland 40:22 and so, now you are here. 40:23 So, God has been answering prayers 40:25 and this is not the end, 40:27 this is just the beginning, of course. 40:29 We just... we just give God the glory 40:31 and praise Him for... for the many miracles, 40:33 I mean, many more stories I could share here. 40:35 But wait... wait one second before you go, let me ask you, 40:38 how did that affect the team members? 40:41 Yes, well, I said earlier that 40:45 there was personal revival taking place, 40:48 we had the opportunity to just pray through some 40:50 personal struggles that people had. 40:52 We were able to train some of the missionaries 40:55 on effective intercessory prayer and just how to... 40:59 how to pray and how to have a relationship with God, 41:01 you know, young people struggle with these questions 41:04 and... so we had transformation there, 41:08 but then also they would go home... 41:11 we are still in contact with all of them 41:13 and they were sharing some of the things 41:15 that are taking place in their lives, 41:17 one person was messaging me today 41:19 and I have to just read this to you, 41:21 they were saying... it was Esther... 41:23 she said, "After coming back from Iceland 41:25 and learning about the power of prayer, 41:27 I started sharing about it to everyone around me... 41:30 with my church members, friends and even non-Christians, 41:33 ever since then, our church has become a praying church. 41:37 In any situation, the first thing we would do 41:40 as church leaders is to come together, kneel and pray. 41:43 So far, we've seen miracles. 41:46 Our hearts have been converted and comforted 41:49 financial resources have been provided by God 41:52 and outside of church, 41:53 my friends and I have started a prayer ministry in our college 41:56 experiencing many blessings. 41:58 Every week, we'd gather in a room 42:00 to pray for all the students and to claim the campus for God. " 42:03 And I have many others. 42:05 One missionary came home and was... 42:08 he and his wife were struggling with health 42:12 and so, for years they had been looking at different specialists 42:17 to find out what... what is wrong with her 42:21 and they just couldn't find out, 42:22 they had 100,000 dollars in medical bills already 42:25 and so, at least partially 42:28 inspired by the prayer work that we did, 42:29 they said, "Why don't we... 42:31 why don't we just pray about this more 42:33 and have an anointing?" 42:34 And some of our missionaries did the anointing with her 42:38 and would you believe... 48 hours after the anointing, 42:42 she was healed of those issues 42:43 and all the other things were clarified there for them 42:48 so God is just inspiring young people to pray more 42:52 and claim the promises and claim their campuses. 42:55 I have a whole bunch of other stories 42:57 but the Lord has changed young people here 43:00 to make them prayer warriors 43:02 where before, there was not a strong interest 43:05 and it has changed the perspective... 43:07 it has changed the way to look at cities. 43:09 The greatest mission field right now around the world are cities, 43:12 and it's changed the way you see it 43:14 because we're all used to living in cities 43:17 and doing our business there, 43:18 but cities are, I mean, there are strongholds of Satan 43:23 everywhere... 43:25 Centers of Influence from the devil 43:26 and what we tried to make our young people see in Iceland 43:29 was to identify these places 43:31 so that you can start praying to break down those barriers, 43:34 praying to break down those strongholds 43:36 in those cities and God has... 43:39 God has... is willing to do that. 43:42 There are many testimonies, 43:43 in fact, I think you had Alex Niculaescu on this program 43:47 not too long ago, 43:48 and he was sharing some of that 43:49 and he was part of our mission as well. 43:51 Shelly: Praise God. 43:52 The power of prayer 43:54 and breaking down the strongholds of the devil, 43:56 because we can certainly not do that 43:58 the Lord can break down the devil, certainly. 44:02 A little bit of backstory is that Europe... the T E D... 44:06 we call it the Trans-European Division, 44:09 the leaders were at the... 44:11 our recent annual council just last month 44:13 and the President and his Vice-President came 44:16 and were just bubbling over what had happened in Iceland 44:19 because they had been praying for it and working 44:21 and just needed to see the spiritual revival break through 44:24 and amazing things had happened, 44:25 the president was on a meeting with us 44:28 and I had Jonathan share and then and he spoke 44:30 and he said, "I just called the President of Iceland 44:33 and he said that he was in our little church this week 44:36 and there was a woman there... a guest... 44:39 and he asked her why she was there, 44:40 well, somebody had come to her door 44:41 and prayed with her 44:43 and she just came to see what these people were like 44:45 and so, breaking down walls through prayer is just amazing.. 44:50 we're seeing that around the world 44:51 in so many different ways and I think all of us can do that. 44:55 General talking about a neighbor we're working with 44:58 and different... different ways we're seeing 45:00 that we can reach out to people who don't even believe in Jesus 45:03 whether they got a kid problem or whatever, 45:05 you can pray with them... what a difference it makes. 45:07 You've heard this saying, 45:09 "People don't care how much you know 45:11 till they know how much you care. " 45:13 Pastor: Yes. 45:14 Shelley: And I think that's it, 45:16 sometimes we want to just bombard people 45:18 with Biblical doctrines... with truths of the Bible 45:21 but if they don't know 45:23 that we really have a personal interest in them, 45:26 they could care less. 45:28 And that's what... that was so obvious... 45:29 you could see that these people are hungering... 45:31 we're more isolated than ever, 45:32 technology has isolated us from each other 45:36 and if you just show up 45:37 and you do it in a prayerful mindset, 45:40 and showing that you care, 45:42 the Lord can make a huge difference... 45:44 He can transform lives... 45:47 He can transform that situation 45:49 and bring light and hope to these people's hearts 45:52 and we saw that multiple times, just the fact that you are there 45:57 and that you care, they're willing to listen 46:00 and they're willing to see who you are 46:03 and as you said, people have come to church 46:06 and we did not present any doctrines, 46:08 we just came to pray with them 46:10 but the Lord will lead them to the Bible truths 46:12 and transform their lives through the Word. 46:16 I know Jerry, that when you were elected 46:19 as the Central California Conference President, 46:24 that Soquel Camp Meeting which has been long running 46:30 but it was really declining in attendance 46:33 to the point, people were even thinking about perhaps... 46:36 They had voted to sell the grounds 46:38 and not have Camp Meeting anymore 46:39 but members were very upset 46:41 so we... we went to the Lord 46:42 and said, "Lord, what shall we do?" 46:43 He led us through a prayer experience to keep it going. 46:46 And then, I know, 46:48 these are people of prayer, I guarantee you, 46:50 because Janet, tell us a story, like, you'd be praying... 46:53 how much should we be asking for in our offering? 46:56 One thing I want to be sure is said 46:59 is the people that are most blessed 47:02 by us praying with them is us. 47:04 I have prayer partners that meet every Tuesday in California, 47:09 they meet every Wednesday and for years I would thank them 47:14 thank them for spending the two-and-a-half... 47:16 three hours praying 47:18 and that's a lot of time out of your busy life, 47:20 and they would tell me over and over... they still do... 47:23 "Will you quit thanking us, 47:25 we are so blessed by meeting and praying... " 47:27 because one of the rules is, 47:29 they don't pray for their own needs, 47:31 it's totally to pray for the world 47:33 and the problems in the world, 47:35 and they tell you, it's changed their lives... 47:38 it's drawn them closer to God, 47:39 it's gotten them involved in reaching out to others, 47:42 but we are the most blessed. 47:44 Job 42:10... 47:45 Job 42:10 says Job's captivity was turned around 47:49 when he prayed for his friends. 47:51 Shelley: He was doubly blessed. 47:53 Yeah, my life's been so changed and blessed... 47:56 captivity has been turned around 47:57 because of spending more time praying for others 47:59 than I do myself. 48:00 Shelley: Amen. 48:02 Well, I certainly would challenge everyone... 48:03 everyone can pray 48:05 and maybe that people don't realize 48:08 that there are warriors that are anxious to assist us 48:13 in our prayers that's our responsibility. 48:17 You hear it so often because prayers are answered daily 48:20 that the fervent prayers of the righteous man availeth much 48:24 and you think, "Wow" 48:26 and then you find out that you are one of those that's praying 48:30 and the prayers are being answered 48:32 and sometimes, well, first of all for me personally, 48:36 it just motivates me a 1,000 times more 48:39 because it is making a major difference 48:41 and then the phone starts ringing 48:43 because I understand that you pray for people 48:47 and prayers are answered 48:48 and it's just kind of a... amazing. 48:52 Jonathan: We're told that prayer and faith 48:55 can do what no power on earth can accomplish 48:57 but we have to make the point though 49:00 you can pray once, yes, 49:02 and the interaction we had at the doors in Iceland 49:04 there was a blessing and it changed their lives 49:07 but we collect the prayer requests 49:09 so, we would have... 49:10 we had actually groups praying all around the world 49:12 as we were going out. 49:13 We shared the prayer requests through our phones right away 49:16 with everyone... so, thousands of people praying 49:18 but then, we collected these prayer requests 49:21 and we will continue to pray for them... 49:23 continually intercede 49:25 because it's not just a one thing and then we're gone, 49:27 but continual dedication to intercede for people 49:31 who need the Lord 49:32 because when they see their prayer requests answered 49:35 they're going to come running for more. 49:37 They're going to come like, 49:38 "Who are you people? You have a God, 49:40 He hears prayers. " 49:41 Shelley: He hears... and speaking of that, 49:44 this is a live program and we will be taking your questions 49:49 or prayer requests. 49:51 You may e-mail us at: live@3abn. tv 49:55 or 618-627-4651. 50:00 That's 618-627-4651. 50:05 Prayer requests are beginning to come in, 50:07 of course, we certainly will be praying for these 50:09 so that is: live@3abn. tv. 50:12 Shelly: Okay, why don't you read a couple of those? 50:15 I will be happy to, 50:17 here's from John and Nancy... needs prayer for cancer. 50:20 We will be praying for each one of these. 50:22 Mother requesting urgent prayers for a job 50:25 and salvation for her son. 50:27 Probably a single mom just trying to make everything work 50:30 as best she can 50:31 but she's going the right direction... 50:33 because she's going to prayer. 50:34 Caller's grandson, Jesse, needs prayer 50:37 to straighten up his life. 50:38 Her daughter is recovering from surgery also 50:41 and needs prayer. 50:43 One more, I'll be right quick, 50:44 asking for prayer for her Bible Study Group, amen. 50:47 "That people will come and stay who will be committed" 50:50 and for her husband and her family 50:52 and for her French-speaking friends going back to Africa, 50:56 that can see 3ABN Francais. 50:58 Amen... amen. 51:00 Why don't we... before we... 51:02 we're almost to the end of the first hour, 51:04 let's have a prayer before we... 51:07 and what I'd like to do... 51:09 maybe Jonathan, you've heard some of these, 51:11 but let's just go around and pray 51:13 as you feel led... pray... 51:15 Jonathan: Lovely, let's pray. 51:18 "Father we just are so thankful 51:20 for the opportunity we have to come before You 51:23 and we recognize our desperate need for You 51:26 to be present in our lives... to transform our lives... 51:29 Lord, we are sinners, we need Your forgiveness... 51:33 Your cleansing blood, Lord, and we need transformation 51:36 and so, we fully cast ourselves upon you... 51:38 all of us here... all of us watching... 51:41 Lord, we just plead for you to be in our hearts... 51:45 in our lives and to take us 51:47 because we can't even give You our hearts, 51:48 You got to...

' 53:45 and Father, then, that will create another request 53:50 and Father, then we will see that yes, You do exist... 53:55 so Father, thank You that we can just take this opportunity 53:59 to lift up Your name... praise Your name, amen. " 54:02 Janet: "Father, we want to pray for the young mother 54:05 that needs a job. 54:06 I pray You will help her to know 54:10 that if she's single, that You will be her husband, 54:13 You tell us that in your Word, Isaiah and other places, 54:17 it says 'a husband to widows' 54:18 but we found that it's also, women who've been abandoned 54:22 by their husbands or whoever... 54:24 Lord, You know she needs a job, 54:26 so, we just pray Psalm 32:8 54:29 that You will lead and guide and direct her steps 54:31 to just the right job 54:32 that will bring in the amount of income she needs. 54:34 Lord, may she know that You've done this 54:37 and I thank you.
