01:15 Hello and welcome to 3ABN Today Live.
01:17 Thank you for joining us as you do each and every day.
01:20 But I tell you this Thursday Night Live program
01:22 has to be my favorite
01:24 because we get to interact with you.
01:26 Sometimes we tape the programs
01:28 and we don't get to hear from you.
01:29 But our call center is open tonight
01:31 and prayer lines are open.
01:32 So later on if you want to call
01:34 or you want to order something that we have,
01:36 well, if it's available
01:37 if you want to make comments or questions,
01:39 please be nice to us.
01:41 Don't talk about, you know, looks or anything like that
01:44 unless you talk about the women out here.
01:47 But other than that, thank you for joining us.
01:50 We want you to know that we love you.
01:51 We pray for you all of those
01:53 and we thank you for your love and prayers
01:55 and financial support of 3ABN
01:57 and literally as we endeavor
01:59 to take this great gospel of the kingdom
02:01 into all the world.
02:02 I'm here with my wife Yvonne.
02:04 This is fun, isn't it? It is.
02:06 It's such a blessing and live as you know,
02:07 it has its own, you know, qualities.
02:10 Now don't make me nervous.
02:12 And I don't want to get nervous now
02:14 because we're reaching, how far are we reaching?
02:16 Oh my,
02:17 you know, you always say
02:18 and do in satellites like 23,000, what is it?
02:22 Do the whole thing.
02:23 Well, we're reaching around the world right there.
02:24 Yeah, but no, you have the whole thing.
02:26 Okay.
02:27 Well what we say is which is true
02:28 as we spoke right now as we're speaking
02:30 this signal is going 22,300 miles to space
02:34 at the speed of light 186,200 miles per second.
02:38 It's one satellite
02:40 goes to another satellite continues around,
02:42 I think about eight or nine satellites,
02:44 comes down into the homes
02:45 of viewers and listeners
02:47 on virtually every continent of the world
02:50 in less than three seconds.
02:51 And so that's a big praise the Lord, isn't it?
02:54 That is. Amen.
02:55 Yeah, Bible says
02:56 prophecies of last days will be rapid,
03:00 the final events,
03:01 men would run to and fro,
03:03 knowledge will be increased, speaking of knowledge,
03:04 we got my brother and sister here,
03:06 sister-in-law.
03:07 Oh, that's a good segue.
03:08 Brother Kenny and Chris, we're glad you guys are here.
03:11 It's always good to be here.
03:13 Behold the Lamb Ministry and 3ABN.
03:15 Just to hear what I just heard
03:16 again to be reminded of what God is doing here
03:19 in these last days through 3ABN message
03:21 going around the world.
03:22 I've already had a little bit of church already.
03:24 It's been a blessing already
03:26 just to hear the few words again.
03:27 Amen.
03:28 The Lord is serious
03:30 about getting this gospel into all the world.
03:31 And if He's willing to use people like us,
03:32 you know something,
03:34 that He's serious about it, right?
03:35 If He can use us, He can use anybody.
03:37 God is willing to use anyone who's willing to be used.
03:41 That's the thing about it.
03:42 We don't have to,
03:43 I always say we don't have to go
03:45 into the cemetery.
03:46 I mean, we always say seminary I mean, instead of that,
03:48 we don't have to do any of that.
03:50 All you have to do is
03:51 be touched by the Lord Jesus Christ
03:53 and then go and tell what He's done for you.
03:55 No one can argue
03:56 with your own personal testimony
03:58 of how great God is.
04:00 So today we only have good news
04:02 but, Yvonne, we want to make this
04:04 because we were hoping
04:05 when we wrote this little book, back what?
04:09 March or something, we're hoping that it would be,
04:11 if you hold that up for them.
04:12 We're hoping that COVID would be over,
04:15 about 6 million of these have been in print
04:18 and sent to zip codes all over America.
04:21 That represents three per home,
04:23 18 million people
04:25 and hopefully people are passing them
04:27 to their neighbors.
04:28 So what we've done is made this available
04:31 and what it does it gives you a little bit about the COVID
04:34 from the medical standpoint.
04:35 Yvonne did that,
04:37 she's the naturopathic doctor
04:39 and so and believe me
04:40 I hear that when certain things I need to take,
04:42 you know, carrot strings that he should be taking that.
04:45 Let's take this herb and let's take that
04:47 and when sometimes
04:48 you just want a shot or something you know,
04:50 it'll just relieve me from the pain.
04:51 No, no, there's a better, better but no,
04:53 I love you for that and appreciate,
04:56 so she does that part of it.
04:58 But then we put together and basically,
05:00 it's answering the people because they're saying,
05:02 where's God in a time like this?
05:04 Well, doesn't God love us?
05:06 If He loves His people,
05:07 why are people suffering around the world?
05:09 Why are children going hungry and starving to death?
05:12 So this is Satan's last greatest attack against God
05:15 is on His character, to destroy God.
05:18 So this is, answers all of those questions.
05:21 And we're so thankful
05:22 and we've seen some tremendous results.
05:25 So if you want to support this, literally the cost,
05:29 what it costs us to literally print the book,
05:32 and to ship it to a zip code of your choice is 40 cents.
05:36 Now the price of a stamp I'm told is 55 cents.
05:40 So we get the whole book
05:42 and shipped to the zip code of your choice.
05:46 Some of you just say,
05:47 hey, I'll send you know, a $500, $100 or $1000
05:50 and then ship it to whatever zip codes needed
05:53 or wherever you want.
05:54 We can do that too, but from 40 cents.
05:57 So that's amazing to me.
05:58 God bless that.
05:59 We couldn't do it
06:01 if we hadn't put out so many by the millions,
06:02 so price has gone down, down, down.
06:03 So if you want to help, and you want this,
06:06 and maybe your area hasn't been reached,
06:08 then you send in whatever it is your $100, $500,
06:11 whatever amount it is,
06:12 and we'll try to send as many as we can
06:14 to your zip code of your choice.
06:17 Others of you say send it wherever it's needed,
06:19 where city has not been reached,
06:21 you pick one and send it, we appreciate that too.
06:23 It gives us a little bit of freedom
06:25 to try to organize this
06:27 and hit different cities all across America.
06:29 And the call center is open right now.
06:30 It is open. So what do we do? Can we call?
06:32 Call (618) 627-4651,
06:36 or you can email Live@3abn.tv.
06:40 But the call center is open right now.
06:42 So you can call and speak to someone.
06:43 If you have questions or comments,
06:45 and we want to have prayer in a bit, too,
06:47 for the hurricanes that happened and I mean,
06:50 2020 has been some year, hasn't it?
06:52 But hey, if you're listening to this,
06:53 you still means
06:54 you're still on the right side of the ground, right?
06:57 You're still up.
06:58 So God is still on the throne,
06:59 but we've been told that in the last days,
07:02 that things are really going,
07:04 I call it go south,
07:05 right, for because
07:07 Satan is going to work harder than ever before.
07:11 And because he knows his time is short,
07:13 so he's out to steal, kill and destroy.
07:15 But Jesus says,
07:16 "I've come to give you life and give it more abundant."
07:19 So all we have to do submit and commit our lives
07:21 to the Lord Jesus Christ,
07:23 then go and tell what He has done for us.
07:26 So again, thank you for what you do
07:28 for the cause of God
07:29 and your support of this ministry.
07:32 And this way we can continue
07:33 to take this gospel to the world.
07:35 We never thought 35 years ago, did we, Brother Kenny,
07:38 when were out building the building ourselves.
07:40 We didn't be here 35 years later,
07:42 but would still be on the air
07:44 and literally reaching the world.
07:45 Yeah, to me, it's just an amazing miracle,
07:48 you know, what God has done,
07:50 what He's going to continue to do.
07:51 And what we're going to see in the near future.
07:53 God is working right now,
07:54 you know, in behalf of His people,
07:56 and so, this book
07:58 that you were just talking about here,
07:59 I hear a lot about this book is the best seller.
08:02 This is the book of the year.
08:03 This is a book for everybody.
08:04 This is the book,
08:06 more than the best sellers on the earth,
08:07 you know, worldly market
08:09 and who's going to be elected and all this.
08:10 This is a book that needs to be into every home.
08:13 Because again, it gives you spiritual,
08:15 you know, connection that we need,
08:17 what's really going on,
08:19 and how we can combat this thing
08:21 because a lot of people just give up.
08:22 Because of the COVID-19 they just give it up.
08:25 As Christians we cannot give up.
08:27 Now's not the time to give up, it's to push forward.
08:30 And I believe there's people out there tonight
08:31 that realize what was in this book.
08:32 Maybe they don't,
08:34 but I'm glad you're talking about it.
08:35 Tonight, they should make some big orders.
08:37 Okay, so you're not saying that I'm saying that,
08:39 make some big orders right now
08:41 to get this book into home to people who have lost hope.
08:44 They are looking around said this is a message.
08:46 This is all that they'd rather die
08:47 than continue on.
08:49 Don't do that. There's hope.
08:50 And tonight we pray that you get that hope
08:51 and you send for that book
08:53 and so we talk about and pray about things.
08:54 What we try to do in just a few pages is talk about
08:58 where sin came from,
08:59 because a lot of times we don't know.
09:01 People will say, for instance, on your insurance,
09:04 if your house is flooded
09:05 or your tornado hits, your hurricane,
09:07 they say an act of God.
09:08 No, that is a lie.
09:10 It's really an act of the devil, right?
09:12 'Cause that's not an act of God.
09:13 Yes. Is it beyond our means?
09:14 Yes, but those kinds of natural disasters
09:17 won't be in heaven.
09:18 So we tried to talk about where sin came from,
09:21 we put the blame of sin, death, disease
09:24 and sickness on the devil where it belongs.
09:26 And so we talk about the Garden of Eden
09:28 and how man failed
09:29 and then how sin runs its course
09:31 and the wages of sin is death,
09:33 but the gift of God is eternal life
09:34 through Christ Jesus.
09:36 So anyway, won't spend, we got a lot of things to do.
09:38 If you would like this, let us know.
09:40 If you just want to make a donation,
09:42 it's tax deductible love gift.
09:44 You can do it again there on your screen
09:46 or you can go to our website,
09:48 go to PayPal, whatever you would like to do.
09:50 But I want to move on
09:51 because we have a guest today...
09:53 We do, a special guest.
09:56 Yes, and I was thinking about it,
09:58 that today we've been knowing each other almost 40 years.
10:02 In fact we did our first music thing together
10:04 I think about 38 years ago.
10:06 Brother Kenny, we must have been teenagers
10:08 so I want to introduce right now.
10:10 I have to thank you for that.
10:12 Maybe a little more than ever.
10:13 I'd like to introduce, we got him on by Skype,
10:15 we got Brother Billy Blackwood.
10:18 So, Billy, hey...
10:19 Hi, Danny, Yvonne, so good to see you.
10:21 Hey Billy.
10:23 You too. How are you doing, my friend?
10:25 I am blessed.
10:26 I'm blessed so far beyond anything I deserve.
10:29 How about that?
10:31 So this COVID thing for your group,
10:33 the Blackwood Brothers Quartet,
10:35 you know, which your dad and,
10:37 you know, your relatives for many, many years
10:39 and you, of course, involved now.
10:41 This put a shutdown to go into churches
10:43 and I mean your whole life
10:46 that you've been doing for so many years.
10:48 This thing could be devastating.
10:50 But I say you're still kicking,
10:52 you've still got a smile on your face.
10:54 I'm okay.
10:55 You know we did, we had a lot of cancellations
10:59 from the first weekend of March to the first weekend of July.
11:03 We were just off the road for four months.
11:05 Wow.
11:06 Maybe going back a little bit,
11:08 still not going to have any near the normal year
11:11 that we have,
11:13 but you know didn't surprise God,
11:14 He's got us, got our backs.
11:16 He's got us all around.
11:18 So we just continue to see where we'll be.
11:22 Absolutely.
11:23 I was just telling the folk here in the audience,
11:25 I don't know if you heard
11:26 but I think it was about 38 years ago
11:28 when I was talking to Bobby Bradley in Nashville
11:31 at Doc's play studio,
11:32 Dr. Billy Burkes.
11:34 And so I said
11:36 we putting a little music project together.
11:40 And, of course, you always needed some good drummer
11:42 to keep you on time and make sure everybody is,
11:44 so I said, "Well, who can you get?"
11:46 And he said, "I can get Billy Blackwood."
11:48 Well, of course, I'd heard of Billy Blackwood and,
11:51 but didn't really, we weren't,
11:52 didn't know each other personally.
11:53 And so, he invited Billy
11:55 and so what a great friend and a musician,
11:58 you know, plays numerous instruments,
12:00 sings, has a number of projects.
12:02 So we want you to tell us a little bit, Billy,
12:04 what God is doing in your life?
12:06 And then tell us about some of the projects?
12:08 And we want to put your address up
12:09 and all of that email address, so people can contact you,
12:13 but just give us a little testimony
12:15 of what's happening
12:16 and what you see for the future.
12:18 You know, Danny,
12:19 I think you and I are about the same age.
12:22 And I'm at a point in life
12:24 and I know from when we talk that
12:26 I sense you there too
12:28 is we just expecting the soon return of Jesus.
12:32 And that puts a different light on everything we do.
12:38 It's just we realize the urgency of the moment,
12:41 the urgency of getting the message of Jesus
12:43 to the world.
12:45 And, you know,
12:46 this, just because COVID has happened,
12:48 that doesn't change that mandate.
12:50 We still have a great commission.
12:52 And so, we're doing what we know to do.
12:54 I've done several things
12:56 just online on Facebook Live
12:58 and just praying for people,
13:01 just trying to be obedient and do what God told me to do.
13:04 And you know that just a few years ago
13:08 we did a series of programs at 3ABN
13:11 with your sweet wife
13:13 was one of my guest on the program,
13:15 and Jean McDonald was.
13:18 And at the time,
13:19 we didn't know what God was going to do with that,
13:22 but we recorded several great songs.
13:24 That has now come out in CD, lot of great songs,
13:28 some of them old,
13:30 I think are sacred about Him and I better have Jesus,
13:33 and Yvonne and I do that duet of great camp in the garden.
13:37 But there's some, he wrote songs as well,
13:39 people be the movement, Your grace still amazes me,
13:43 a song written by my good friend
13:45 Clint Jensen called it people have sung for years.
13:49 I did a new song,
13:50 but it's all written by our dear friend,
13:52 Lanny Wolfe called Great Thou singing.
13:55 So that CD has come out
13:58 and it's just a way of reaching the world
14:03 with the glimpse of the gospel.
14:04 You know, the first song on CD, People need the Lord,
14:07 that is every day they passed me.
14:09 I see it in there.
14:12 You know, people filled with care,
14:15 knowing what happened, but we have answered.
14:17 So that song kind of sets up for the record sets it right.
14:22 And I'm just, you know, we talked earlier today,
14:26 and I've to say, you know, there's some I don't,
14:28 I don't know as much, I feel gratitude,
14:30 hence I felt that
14:32 I'm not going to continue doing the things
14:34 I've been doing.
14:37 Just kind of trying to follow God
14:39 and do what we feel like the Holy Spirit leading us
14:42 and so this could be some different things that,
14:46 had got new book
14:47 that's coming out of the biopic on the gospel music live.
14:51 Oh, that'll be good.
14:52 See, again, just trying to hear God's voice and be obedient.
14:56 You know, I found out,
15:00 I can make stuff happen.
15:04 A lot of tough time, we need to just stay in tough,
15:06 need to pick up.
15:07 That's how it turns out, you know,
15:09 stuff that we try to help God, didn't help this fall.
15:14 But, you know, if we let God lead us
15:17 in God's Spirit will come up with eyes.
15:21 And so just try to do that.
15:23 And like the older I get the more I thanks,
15:26 you know, God will stop, He knows that.
15:30 If I just hear His voice, it's all going to be fun.
15:33 I don't have to work out,
15:35 where I'm going to schedule a concert,
15:38 or what's coming next.
15:39 I don't have to be concerned
15:41 about that because I've gotten enough control
15:44 and I just need to hear forth hymn, his first hymn.
15:46 So that's what I'm doing.
15:48 Nonetheless, what you do.
15:51 Well, what I'd like to do,
15:52 we want to make sure
15:54 we get up your address right now,
15:55 your email address
15:56 if people want to contact you.
15:58 So maybe here it is, mailing address,
16:00 PO Box 777, Goodlettsville, Tennessee 370770.
16:07 Now for at home the folks might notice,
16:09 I'm looking down when I give that,
16:11 I used to look straight ahead because I could read on camera
16:14 and now I'm starting to notice it's a little bit tougher,
16:17 might make it out
16:18 but the monitor is much bigger so excuse me,
16:21 but I'm going to look up this time.
16:22 PO Box 777, Goodlettsville, Tennessee, right?
16:26 All right, then it's 370770.
16:29 So you contact Brother Billy.
16:31 And he has numerous projects over the years.
16:35 And I'm sure he has them with his group,
16:36 with the Blackwood Brothers,
16:38 his own projects and the new book.
16:41 So give us just a little bit of hint
16:43 on the new book, Billy.
16:45 You know, Danny,
16:47 the Blackwood Brothers,
16:48 my dad and uncles
16:50 started the Blackwood Brothers 86 years ago.
16:52 Oh my, my.
16:54 And they literally, God open doors for them
16:58 to literally go around the world
17:00 and preach the gospel through music.
17:03 And the book is a lot of that history.
17:06 But then it transitions into my entry
17:11 into the family
17:13 where God is taking me, you know my story,
17:15 but a lot of your listeners may not
17:16 that I traveled with the Black Brothers
17:19 playing drums as a teenager and left the group
17:22 and traveled with Elvis Presley show
17:24 back in the 70s for a couple of years.
17:26 Found out that all that glitters is not gold.
17:30 Pay back to the Lord and have spent all the years
17:34 since then either on staff at churches
17:37 or traveling and ministering,
17:38 writing and preaching.
17:39 And so it's just a story of my life
17:43 in gospel music
17:44 with the bedrock of story of the Blackwood Brothers
17:48 and my dad and family's emergence
17:51 into Christian world
17:53 that's really trip setups and, you know, trailblazers.
17:58 Yeah.
18:00 So, I won't give it all away,
18:01 but there's a lot of very personal things in there.
18:04 You know, I'm not, I thought of.
18:06 I don't know about you, Danny, I'm not a perfect person.
18:09 Well, I'd to agree. You may be.
18:10 Not yet, some day.
18:13 You know,
18:14 and you read some things in the book
18:16 about where I've fallen, where I failed,
18:18 because last time I read, all have sinned
18:20 and fallen short of the glory of God.
18:23 So I just, I don't,
18:24 I don't try to glorify anything other than Lord Jesus Christ,
18:28 but I'm very open to everything else,
18:29 my life and my struggle, but glory be to God.
18:33 I'm an overcomer by my faith.
18:35 Amen. All right.
18:36 Praise the Lord.
18:38 So I know that Elvis Presley had a great deal of respect
18:41 and your family had a huge influence of your dad.
18:43 Did your dad sing in his funeral?
18:46 He did. My dad sang in his funeral.
18:48 When Elvis was a truck driver in Memphis, he would come
18:51 to the Blackwood Brothers concert,
18:52 check the down hall and record.
18:54 And love my dad, revered him
18:58 and just looked up to him so much
19:01 and loved gospel music.
19:02 And so, I don't know
19:04 a lot of your listeners may not know this about Elvis,
19:06 but in his career,
19:07 he obviously had a lot of hits through the years.
19:10 But the only Grammy Awards
19:12 that he ever won were for gospel projects.
19:16 I think that was just God's way of saying,
19:18 so this is what I probably calls you too.
19:21 Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely.
19:23 Billy, it's always great to talk to you.
19:26 And thank you for being a great friend
19:28 over all these years.
19:29 We've done a lot of projects together
19:31 and usually that's when we have time
19:32 to go eat or talk on the phone once in a while.
19:35 But I'm so thrilled to know you and to be friends with you.
19:38 And I know if I need something,
19:40 I can call you and you pray with me.
19:42 And I know that God listens to your prayers.
19:44 So I love you and my hats off to you.
19:47 And we're going to get those programs on the air
19:50 as soon as we can that you did some time ago.
19:53 As you said,
19:54 you were interviewing a number of guests.
19:56 And so, and Yvonne was on one with you
19:59 and you guys sang and she said
20:01 Big Jean McDonald and a number of other folks.
20:03 So we're going to...
20:04 We were talking to the crew today
20:06 about let's get those on the air,
20:07 they'll be on Praise Him channel
20:08 and we'll probably put some of them on here also.
20:11 So thank you for what you do for the cause of God.
20:13 Once again, let's put the address
20:15 one more time, the email address,
20:16 so you can contact
20:17 and I would encourage you to contact
20:20 Brother Billy Blackwood.
20:21 So there's post...
20:23 Yeah, the email address is Billy@BillyBlackwood.com
20:26 and the mailing address
20:28 is PO Box 777, Goodlettsville, Tennessee 37070.
20:33 Okay, all right.
20:35 Thank you, Billy. God bless.
20:36 I love you both. Bye, Billy.
20:38 Was so great to see you both.
20:40 Great to see you.
20:41 His music is lovely too...
20:43 Isn't it? Oh. His CD Incredible.
20:45 Really, really nice.
20:46 Good quality and he's such a, he has such a beautiful spirit.
20:51 As an anointing on him.
20:52 He does. Yes, he does. Yes, he does.
20:54 In fact, he came up in and did a program with us,
20:58 Today program.
20:59 And it was just so beautiful.
21:01 It was so great to have him here.
21:03 And he's just a blessing.
21:05 So we love you, Billy.
21:06 Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much.
21:08 So, anyway,
21:10 we've got a number of things we want to cover.
21:11 Now the second hour,
21:13 we're actually going to be talking
21:14 about the law of God.
21:16 We're going to have Brother Kenny on,
21:17 Brother John Lomacang,
21:19 and we're going to have Pastor Ryan Day
21:22 is going to be on also.
21:23 So we want you
21:24 if you have questions or comments
21:26 about the law of God,
21:27 then this would be a great time,
21:29 you can get ready
21:30 and you can actually call those in (618) 627-4651.
21:34 You can email them, is it Live@3abn.tv?
21:39 Okay. And so you can do that.
21:41 So we're preparing for the next hour,
21:42 but we have several things going right now.
21:44 And speaking of books,
21:46 I want to talk about for a few minutes with you all,
21:49 a brand new book that's coming out here now.
21:52 Right, let me tell you upfront, it's not available,
21:55 we're not, it's not, you know, you can't order it right now.
21:58 It's in the process of being printed.
22:01 But I do want to talk about it just a little bit.
22:03 Because Yvonne has spent months and months and months
22:07 doing her research,
22:09 I kind of get to write a book.
22:11 I just get it together.
22:12 But she literally,
22:14 I'm telling you this woman studies.
22:15 Tell us a little bit about your book,
22:17 and maybe they can show the cover of it,
22:19 and why it's important?
22:20 You know, everybody writes books.
22:21 Why do you write books?
22:23 Well, one of them is Billy
22:24 just was giving his own personal testimony.
22:26 You can tell it in a church,
22:27 but when you leave people forget it,
22:29 the book in hand, but this one,
22:31 "Glimpse of His Glory,"
22:32 leave it up for a few more seconds,
22:34 if you would.
22:35 This is a sneak peek at the cover, I'm excited.
22:38 Cover on the right, back on the left.
22:39 And so tell us a little bit
22:42 why you wrote it and what it's about?
22:44 Well,
22:46 so it started with me
22:51 having read a book about prayer
22:53 and the importance of prayer,
22:57 and how we need to set a certain time for prayer.
23:00 And as I read that book,
23:02 the author of that book said
23:04 that she had gotten into a study
23:06 on the names of God.
23:08 And so I thought, Okay, let me just, you know,
23:10 I looked up the references for that.
23:13 And it was so intriguing to me,
23:15 because I'm into names anyway.
23:17 Like, I'm always asking, you know,
23:18 what's that person's name like,
23:20 like it will make a difference.
23:21 But with God,
23:23 it makes a difference because in His names,
23:27 there's, He has many titles.
23:30 You know, when we read the Bible,
23:32 where it says,
23:33 for example, in the beginning,
23:34 God created the heavens and the earth.
23:37 But in the Hebrew, it's in the beginning
23:39 Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
23:42 Elohim is the first name
23:45 that we are introduced to of God,
23:48 the first title, He is God.
23:51 It means God, the Creator, Sustainer of life, God.
23:55 And so,
23:56 but it's so much deeper than that.
23:59 It's like, okay, so beyond that, beneath that,
24:04 there's also this idea
24:06 of the mystery of the Trinity is in that name,
24:09 because it's a plural, yet a singular.
24:13 So it's like the Hebrew word echad,
24:17 which is a word for like a bunch of grapes.
24:22 So a bunch of grapes is one bunch, right?
24:25 One, it's singular,
24:26 but they're different grapes on in that cluster, right?
24:30 It's the same kind of thing with Elohim.
24:33 It represents the plurality, and yet the unity of God.
24:40 So it's so much in there and what it does is,
24:44 as you read these names, in these titles of God,
24:48 you get just another glimpse of who He is.
24:51 Amen.
24:53 And it lets you know that He's just so...
24:56 He's so amazing.
24:58 Like this book is a book of testimony.
25:00 It's like, I have information about the names of God
25:03 and their meanings and how to pronounce them
25:05 because some of them were like, you know, like,
25:08 kind of difficult to pronounce.
25:10 So we have that as well.
25:11 And the biblical foundation, you know,
25:14 the biblical context in which the name is found.
25:17 And then we have a testimony
25:20 showing how God manifested Himself
25:24 that aspect of His character in this person's life.
25:27 So it's not just like even my sister here,
25:30 she contributed,
25:32 we have a story of a hitman for a drug cartel.
25:37 Can you give us like a name of God
25:39 and then may be tie a story with it?
25:41 Well. El M'Kaddesh.
25:44 El M'Kaddesh is the God who sanctifies and...
25:49 Well, let me do let me do El Hanne'eman,
25:51 because that's the faithful God,
25:55 our God who is so faithful
25:58 and the person who contributed that story
26:01 was actually me about Mark, my son Mark.
26:04 And I show Mark's progression,
26:10 actually it wasn't progression, it was his downward spiral.
26:14 And when he was about 18,
26:17 someone called me and said
26:18 your son is now,
26:20 is hanging with the wrong people.
26:22 And I thought, Lord, I... What can I do?
26:29 Like, please don't let my child die in his sins.
26:32 That was what I was so concerned about
26:34 because I knew,
26:35 by this time I've been out of the church
26:38 and then back.
26:39 So I knew how the devil worked.
26:42 I knew some of his wiles,
26:44 I knew that and I knew that he would try to trap my child.
26:47 So I prayed to God and God spoke to me.
26:50 And he said, I will contend with them...
26:52 I be content with thee and I will save thy children,
26:56 quoted that verse from Isaiah and I was like,
26:59 "Thank You Lord." I just stopped crying.
27:01 I was crying and booing, and all that, stopped crying.
27:06 But in the meantime,
27:07 I watched my son go from that
27:12 to just sinking further and further into sin,
27:16 into Luciferian thought,
27:18 just thinking that God wasn't who He is.
27:22 And yet, God, El Hanne'eman, faithful God,
27:28 who promised me He would save my children.
27:31 Just continue to, you know,
27:33 Mark was building his testimony,
27:35 he was just going to sinking,
27:36 sinking until one day God got his attention.
27:41 He hit rock bottom,
27:42 and God got his attention
27:44 and began to draw him back
27:46 and began to manifest himself to mine.
27:50 And as he did that,
27:52 Mark would begin to sense His presence
27:56 and sense His voice and so he, praise the Lord,
28:01 he now calls Jesus his master.
28:05 And I just know that God,
28:09 El Hanne'eman, the faithful God.
28:11 Yes.
28:12 He's so faithful and He's faithful in your life
28:14 to every name that's in this book has.
28:20 God has demonstrated that in each of our lives.
28:23 He's been faithful in each of our lives.
28:25 He's been El Tsidkenu, the God of our righteousness,
28:30 the Lord of righteousness.
28:31 He's been Adonai Ropheka, the God who heals.
28:36 He is El Yeshuati, the God of my salvation.
28:40 He is an Adonai, El Shaddai.
28:44 He is all of these titles in all of our lives.
28:48 And so, what this book does is it just captures a glimpse
28:54 a little bit of His character in each of these lives
28:58 in the life of a hitman, in the life of a sex addict,
29:02 in the life of a woman who is caught up in depression,
29:07 and could not get out and substance abuse,
29:10 in the life of a gay guy, in the...
29:13 I mean, just manifested...
29:14 All of these written in book, it shows the titles of God.
29:18 That makes it so personal
29:20 that we don't even think about that
29:21 when you think of God or Jesus,
29:23 you know, but to find out
29:25 and then the meaning of each one of these
29:27 and then how it manifests, that is so complex.
29:30 God is everything to everybody.
29:32 I mean, we could say that but when you say
29:35 wow, that is just amazing.
29:36 I started reading in first chapter,
29:38 I started crying.
29:39 So, it wasn't out of sadness or bad writer.
29:42 No, it was great because what you know,
29:45 and I'm not saying this to lift up you but again,
29:48 the amount of study that you did
29:49 and so much prayer that every morning at 6 o'clock
29:53 she's in the worship room.
29:54 She spends sometimes hours preparing and, you know,
29:58 for the Lord to bless her
30:00 and so this book is really incredible.
30:02 Now, again, we are not,
30:05 please don't order it and say how you can get it.
30:06 We'll make it available as soon as we can, but...
30:09 It's a sneak peek.
30:10 Publication is doing, right?
30:11 Yeah, Remnant is editing and printing it,
30:14 and it should be ready really soon.
30:16 But this is just a little sneak peek.
30:18 No, it is, now I wanted to do it
30:20 because honestly, I can guarantee you,
30:23 it will change your life,
30:24 it is somehow makes God so much more personal.
30:28 And it's not just, He's up there somewhere.
30:30 This God and those names.
30:32 He named it so we can understand
30:35 that He knows so much more about us
30:37 than we know about ourselves.
30:38 And it's like, well, God is, this one I need Him.
30:41 When I need Him, He's this one I need Him.
30:43 Yes! Wow.
30:44 You can't get anywhere
30:46 in your life that He's not there.
30:47 That's right.
30:49 And that's why I wanted to do...
30:50 He has a name.
30:51 That is so why I wanted to do,
30:53 to help enrich our connection with God
30:57 by showing more of who He is through these names and titles.
31:01 That's, they reveal who He is.
31:03 So that's exactly
31:05 what the purpose is to help
31:07 to enrich our prayer lives, our praise.
31:11 At the end of each chapter,
31:13 there's a prayer that you can pray out loud
31:15 to that title so of God.
31:18 So you know, if He's been faithful that day,
31:21 you can say on and on
31:23 whatever He's done in your life that day,
31:26 but we can know Him better
31:29 and have a deeper,
31:30 more intimate relationship with Him.
31:32 Satan is always trying to disparage who God is.
31:37 This book lifts Him up.
31:39 Lets us know just a bit more about His character
31:44 and the name and the meanings
31:45 and the significance of each name behind it.
31:48 Let's put the cover back up on the screen
31:50 for a few seconds because it...
31:52 I'm so excited.
31:53 Yeah, it's really nice.
31:54 So the glimpse, of course, on the right
31:56 so it's showing
31:57 some of the different names of God
31:58 and in the glimpses,
32:00 how did you come up with that name,
32:01 "Glimpses of His Glory?"
32:03 You know, I was in the bed and I was like,
32:04 Lord, please give me a title for the book.
32:08 And it just popped into my head,
32:10 "Glimpses of His Glory."
32:11 So it had to be the Holy Spirit.
32:14 I asked the Lord and He gave it to me.
32:16 And so those are,
32:17 Ricky Carter designed the cover.
32:19 And there are
32:21 some of the different titles on the...
32:23 That was the front and the back cover.
32:25 But he designed that and the names are just...
32:32 It's just such a great way to reconnect.
32:35 If you're finding
32:36 that your prayer life is kind of dull and boring,
32:38 and you want something new for your worship
32:41 and your quiet time with God,
32:43 this is really a great way to do it.
32:46 Even if you just read one section a day,
32:49 it's just so enriching for,
32:52 and I'm not saying it because I wrote the book.
32:54 I mean, I was just so amazed
32:56 at how God connected the dots for me.
32:59 As I was writing, He connected the dots.
33:02 So one scripture would lead to that scripture which lead,
33:05 which would lead to that.
33:07 And it's just, it was just amazing to me.
33:09 so I'm just so thankful.
33:12 And I pray that it will bless your life as well.
33:15 It's certainly changed my prayer life.
33:17 I know she gave
33:18 a couple copies of manuscripts to people
33:20 she really wanted to look them over
33:22 and I think brother James Rafferty
33:24 was one of them
33:25 and Shelley Quinn
33:26 and they were back here, they're saying...
33:28 And Jill.
33:29 And Jill and they were like,
33:30 man, there's stuff we didn't even know,
33:32 this is amazing,
33:33 you know, that, that we're actually learning
33:35 from some of these things.
33:36 And so, here's one of the beautiful things
33:38 about it to me is
33:39 this is going to reach beyond,
33:41 it's beyond denominational barriers.
33:43 Anybody who's a Christian and serves God,
33:45 you want to know all about Him you can.
33:47 And on this earth
33:48 now we see through a glass darkly within face to face,
33:51 so glimpses of His glory.
33:52 You're not saying
33:54 I'm going to tell you all about God,
33:55 we won't know that.
33:57 That's why heaven is for eternity
33:58 that we'll have time.
33:59 And there's so many, this is just a little snippet.
34:02 This is the tip of the iceberg.
34:03 There's so many titles that we don't even know
34:07 or that we don't,
34:08 you know, we're not really familiar
34:09 with that are out there.
34:11 But this is just a little snippet of it, so.
34:13 It's about 100 pages, 120 something like that
34:16 so, to our reader whatever, it's not a huge book,
34:20 but it's plenty...
34:21 Chris, share your story as well.
34:23 It's amazing.
34:24 You know what I'm seeing here,
34:25 you've already laid the foundation
34:27 for a new program,
34:29 glimpses of His glory.
34:32 Honestly, I can see it,
34:33 I can feel it because Danny is right.
34:36 It makes God so much more personable,
34:40 we can relate to those things.
34:42 You know, those are names
34:44 that many of those names I've never heard of before.
34:47 I can remember my stepdad years ago.
34:49 He was preaching
34:51 at some of the churches in our area.
34:52 And he went through several names of God,
34:55 and it's just amazing
34:56 when you begin to get those glimpses of who God is,
35:01 but what a wonderful idea for a new program.
35:05 You know, really a new devotional program.
35:07 Speaking of glimpses,
35:09 can we get just a little bit of a glimpse
35:10 of what your story is in the book?
35:12 Oh, absolutely.
35:15 But what was the...
35:17 Adonai Ropheka.
35:19 Okay, the God who heals.
35:20 The God who heals.
35:21 And what I did was I had given,
35:24 I had written out a snippet
35:28 of what we had gone through with our youngest daughter,
35:31 Audrey.
35:32 And Audrey,
35:34 she was probably about 9 or 10 years old,
35:37 and she had Influenza A
35:39 and she, her system was very sensitive,
35:44 she had trouble.
35:45 In fact, they thought maybe she had
35:47 cystic fibrosis for years
35:48 because if she had just a cold, I mean within an hour,
35:51 she could have pneumonia.
35:53 And so with this Influenza A,
35:55 we had taken her to the doctor to hospital
35:58 here in Marion, Illinois.
35:59 And they had worked and worked and worked on her
36:01 and then they had to fly her to St. Louis.
36:04 And they were using every drug they possibly could,
36:07 but her lungs kept filling up, filling up.
36:10 And we were at Children's Hospital
36:11 and there were so many sick children.
36:14 There was no room for her in the ICU,
36:17 so they had to transfer her
36:18 then over to St. John's Hospital
36:21 in St. Louis.
36:22 And we weren't there,
36:24 I don't think maybe 10-15 minutes,
36:26 and then walks a specialist.
36:29 And at that time,
36:30 I was sitting on the bed and I was holding her.
36:32 And she had been laboring hour after hour after hour
36:37 for every breath.
36:39 And unless you've had trouble breathing,
36:41 you don't realize how difficult that is.
36:44 But she was actually drowning in the mucus
36:47 and it was just, it was incredible.
36:49 And all of a sudden I had her in my arms
36:51 and her last words were "Help me. Help me."
36:58 And then she was gone.
36:59 She had complete respiratory failure.
37:03 And the doctor,
37:05 they rushed me out of the room
37:06 'cause I was falling apart.
37:09 They rushed me out of the room,
37:10 they put her on life support
37:13 and they came back and they said,
37:15 you know, she is so young,
37:17 her lungs can only take 20 pounds of pressure.
37:21 They were pushing 80 pounds of pressure
37:23 into her lungs.
37:24 And they said, they're going to burst.
37:27 They didn't even say they might burst.
37:28 They're going to burst
37:30 and we'll do all we can so they were getting me ready.
37:32 They sent the chaplain up to get me ready
37:36 because they didn't feel like she was going to make it.
37:39 Well, Kenny came in,
37:43 I think maybe it was like two days later,
37:46 three days later,
37:47 with an elder and they anointed her
37:49 and by that time
37:51 I mean it was still touch and go
37:52 but her lungs hadn't bursted.
37:54 There was a lot of people praying,
37:55 my mother was in the gospel singing at the time
37:58 like you were, all the people, you know, been on the radio,
38:01 there were people I didn't know of,
38:03 and they were praying for her.
38:04 And God was listening to those prayers.
38:07 And he came in,
38:09 and he and the elder anointed her.
38:13 And within 30 minutes,
38:14 all the bells and whistles began to go off.
38:16 And I thought, "Oh, no, what does that mean?"
38:19 Because I was young, I didn't understand.
38:21 I knew she wasn't breathing.
38:22 Does that mean she's brain dead now?
38:24 What does it mean?
38:25 And I went out and I'm crying again.
38:28 And the doctor came in
38:30 and after he had gone in to check the machines,
38:34 and they said, what had happened was,
38:36 she had begun to breathe on her own
38:40 and she began to breathe on her own,
38:43 then everything went off.
38:45 You know, and then it was one thing after another
38:47 because they had already told me
38:48 you better get, if she survives this week,
38:50 you might as well plan on living up here
38:52 because she won't be off of her bed
38:54 for a long time.
38:55 She was off of her bed within less than a week,
38:58 had no brain damage
39:00 and so she's still alive and well today.
39:03 I often remind her...
39:05 What's the name?
39:06 Adonai Ropheka.
39:09 Some people have said Jehovah-Rapha,
39:12 but it's Adonai Ropheka.
39:16 It was a tremendous miracle
39:18 and absolutely tremendous miracle.
39:21 She was brought back.
39:23 I remind her of that when she sneaked in.
39:27 God didn't save you, He didn't save you,
39:32 He saved you to live for Him.
39:34 That's right.
39:36 And there are other stories that
39:39 and this one is just so powerful
39:41 and there are others that are very, very profound,
39:43 all of them
39:45 show how God intervenes in people's lives
39:49 in such an amazing way.
39:52 James said, you anoint the sick,
39:55 you call the elders together and anoint the sick.
39:57 That's what you did and Adonai Ropheka showed up.
40:01 All right. Praise the Lord.
40:02 Brother Kenny,
40:04 somebody watching today
40:05 and I'm not a prophet or son of a prophet.
40:07 You have people watching from around the world
40:09 somebody that needs some healing,
40:11 they need something,
40:12 whether it's physical healing,
40:14 spiritual healing things in their lives,
40:17 they need help.
40:18 What can you look in the camera over here
40:21 and talk to the folk for a few minutes and people
40:23 because several here are saying,
40:25 please pray for me, I have this problem,
40:27 I have that problem,
40:28 places as far away as New Guinea,
40:30 calling and saying,
40:31 Can you pray for me this or that,
40:33 and so, we want you to maybe talk to the folk
40:36 a little bit about whatever's on your heart
40:39 and then we'll pray with them.
40:40 Amen.
40:41 You know, this is probably
40:43 the cry of millions around the world.
40:47 They're looking for something, they're in deep trouble.
40:49 They're taking things in their system.
40:51 They're doing things out in the world.
40:53 They have a conscience
40:54 this may be really bothering them,
40:56 the Holy Spirit speaking to their heart.
40:58 They may have physical problem,
40:59 may be financial,
41:00 it could be all of them together.
41:02 And we've talked to some even of late
41:04 they don't want to live anymore.
41:06 They just want to give up, they don't want to go on.
41:09 But you know what, there's hope.
41:11 And I want to encourage you,
41:12 the hope is simply is turn toward Christ.
41:15 You know turn toward Christ and then give your life to Him.
41:19 This is what you hear every time
41:20 and it's not going to change.
41:22 Same God when you're talking about here
41:24 and what was just given,
41:26 I hope you were listening to it
41:28 because the God that you need
41:30 is the one that's going to show up
41:31 for your specific need.
41:33 Oh, that's good.
41:34 Yeah, specific need, He's going to show up
41:35 because He's God over all.
41:38 And so whatever it is,
41:40 so it's not just we're going to put
41:41 all of you in a basket
41:42 and you're all the same
41:44 but the God of creation, the God of,
41:45 we're talking about here that one of healing
41:47 and the one of...
41:48 He's going to show up
41:49 and He's going to do great things,
41:51 but you have to be open and ready.
41:52 Doubting nothing the Bible says
41:54 so we come to Him right not doubting,
41:56 just come to Him asking in prayer.
41:58 Just commit your life to Him,
41:59 if you haven't done it right now it's time to do that.
42:02 Simply come to Him and say, "I need You.
42:04 I need You to come into my heart and life.
42:05 I don't know who You are,
42:07 but I like to be introduced to You."
42:08 And I think this book is a good way
42:10 maybe they ought to be thinking about that book too.
42:12 Because when you're introduced to God,
42:14 things begin to change.
42:15 I mean, they will change rapidly in your life,
42:18 miracles will be performed.
42:19 So please, right now give your life to Christ.
42:22 Just, you know, commit, pray right now.
42:24 Lord, I want You to come into my heart, into my life.
42:27 I want You to forgive me of my sins, of my past.
42:31 It may be an ugly past, you may be saying,
42:32 "Oh, He can't forgive me."
42:34 There's no sin that God cannot forgive.
42:36 That is encouragement to me,
42:38 it keeps me going on
42:39 day by day is going to help you.
42:41 That's the God that's going to show up
42:42 and He's going to do great things.
42:44 So turn your life over to Him.
42:45 Ask for forgive,
42:47 you know, forgive my sins and my mistakes
42:48 and I want you to kind in my heart, in my life.
42:50 I accept you as Lord and Savior.
42:52 And watch what God will do in your heart and in your life.
42:55 Would you do that right now?
42:56 Do it right now
42:57 while we're even talking about it.
42:59 And I think we ought to have prayer right now,
43:01 because people are asking for prayer.
43:03 For those who have made that decision right now,
43:05 I guarantee if you made it from an honest heart,
43:08 your mind is clear
43:10 and you've asked Christ to come in,
43:11 He will do something great for you.
43:13 That's not just talk.
43:15 That's because the God's going to show up
43:17 the one who says,
43:18 I want to do this in your heart, in your life.
43:20 So I think it'd be nice
43:21 if we had a prayer, Brother Danny.
43:23 Would you like to pray, just a prayer for these people?
43:26 You go and do the prayer. Oh sure, absolutely.
43:27 I want you to pray with me. Let's pray, shall we?
43:30 Our kind loving Heavenly Father,
43:33 we thank You for the privilege of prayer.
43:35 But we thank You for these phone calls.
43:36 We thank You for these individuals
43:38 who have reached out.
43:39 They want to be touched by the master.
43:42 You are the master, You're the master healer.
43:43 You are the master over all
43:45 and I pray in a very special way
43:47 that You'd meet every one of these individuals
43:49 and millions that have not called in,
43:51 millions who maybe are watching and searching and looking.
43:55 May they find You in a very special way.
43:58 Pray that You'd come into their hearts,
43:59 into their life,
44:00 change the situation, change the circumstances,
44:03 change their attitude.
44:05 Get rid of that doubt.
44:06 Get rid of the old enemy.
44:08 Asking just rebuke the old enemy
44:09 in the name of Jesus.
44:10 Come in with a clear heart, a clear mind and say,
44:12 Lord, we need You now as never before.
44:15 As you come in, I pray right now
44:17 that you'll do something marvelous
44:18 in their life,
44:19 to wherever they just turn right now and say,
44:21 I see Jesus, I sense Jesus in my life,
44:24 things will never be the same again.
44:26 We're going to thank you
44:28 for the Holy Spirit for showing up.
44:29 Thank you for the power and strength
44:31 that You're going to give every individual right now,
44:33 every one that's come to You we pray right now,
44:36 Lord, in the name of Jesus,
44:38 make something special
44:39 happen in their heart and their life.
44:41 And that will not be like the ten lepers.
44:44 Everyone's going to come back to You.
44:46 There's only one that came back said thank you,
44:47 but everyone's going to say now,
44:49 thank You Lord,
44:50 because it is You who's doing the work
44:52 and I thank You and I give You praise,
44:53 give You honor, and give You glory.
44:54 And thank You for these phone calls.
44:56 Thank You for what You've done, in Jesus' name, amen.
44:59 Amen. Amen.
45:00 Thank you so much.
45:02 So, you know greater is He that is in us
45:04 than he that is in world.
45:05 And they're number of people calling and somebody asking,
45:08 they said, "What do you think and we don't,
45:10 we're not going to go into all this.
45:11 We may more little in the second hour
45:13 with the pastors here
45:15 but they said what do you think about all the burning,
45:17 deluding the protest
45:19 and how do you feel about social justice?
45:21 So that's what's on people's minds
45:23 right now.
45:25 What is going on right here for those of us in America,
45:27 you know, what is going on?
45:29 In a nutshell, we can do it very easily.
45:31 Anything that's anti Bible we're against.
45:33 So, burning, looting, killing
45:35 and all of that is really simple.
45:37 Anything that's for helping people,
45:40 we're all for it.
45:41 Now, I'm without going into big deal.
45:45 The people been telling me,
45:47 well, social justice is in the Bible.
45:50 You know, because look at the Book of Acts or whatever
45:52 but actually, as I study and read it,
45:54 it says every man gave according as his spirit.
45:56 You know about socialism.
45:57 Yeah, socialism.
45:59 But yeah, so what it is, is yeah, I'm sorry, socialism.
46:04 But what it is, is that we're giving,
46:07 it's not when somebody demand
46:09 you give and they take from you.
46:11 But God didn't really give that responsibility.
46:14 And I'm not saying the government shouldn't help,
46:16 they should,
46:17 for people in need a government should.
46:19 But what I want to,
46:21 the point I'm trying to make
46:22 without an argument from anybody,
46:24 the social justice is the business of the church.
46:29 Other words and individually
46:31 that we should stand up for people,
46:33 we should help people who need help
46:35 for those who have been downtrodden.
46:37 No matter what color you are, if you're downtrodden,
46:40 we as a church and as a people,
46:42 how much better if we go and voluntarily take food.
46:46 We voluntarily help people get jobs.
46:48 We voluntarily do whatever we can as a church,
46:51 that's what we're all about.
46:53 We sometimes want to be a club,
46:54 we just get together and we come
46:56 and then visit each other every Sabbath or every Sunday,
46:58 and they would wear this or that.
47:00 When people all around us are starving,
47:02 physically, spiritually, in all the ways
47:05 and we're so busy having a good time,
47:07 praising the Lord,
47:08 that we forget what our purpose is.
47:10 And that's to go ye into all the world.
47:12 So should we be standing up for people's rights?
47:16 Absolutely.
47:17 Should we be out? No.
47:20 Can we protest? Absolutely.
47:22 That is as you say that's a right here in America.
47:26 Do we have a right to burn, loot and steal?
47:28 Absolutely not.
47:29 So now, if you'd asked me that five years ago,
47:32 I wouldn't even have answered it.
47:33 Because I said, well, anybody with any common sense
47:35 would know that.
47:36 But now today,
47:38 I'm having to change my mind about it.
47:39 Because I see people on television every day,
47:41 saying some of the most ridiculous stuff
47:43 or anti Bible
47:45 that I ever thought I would hear.
47:46 So now, you have to actually stand up and say
47:49 no, burning, looting and stealing is wrong,
47:51 no matter who you are.
47:52 Not taking care of your brother is wrong
47:55 no matter who you are.
47:56 We have responsibilities but as Christians,
47:59 so we can't do everything the government does.
48:03 Yeah, we can take a side, we like this, we like that.
48:06 But the responsibility right now people need the Lord.
48:11 And they're not going to find the Lord through the government
48:14 and through politicians and through all of this,
48:15 they're going to find the Lord
48:17 through Christians just like you and me
48:19 and all of us frail human agents,
48:21 that are sinners saved by grace.
48:23 I'm going to encourage each and every one of you
48:26 and your churches to say what can we do
48:28 to reach out
48:29 to those that are in need around us?
48:31 We need to stand up for them.
48:33 Do we need to support people?
48:35 Yes, we do.
48:37 Do we need to be out burning and looting?
48:38 No, absolutely we do not.
48:40 So enough said for that for right now.
48:42 But it's a question that keeps coming up.
48:44 And I don't know if you want to add to that
48:46 or if I said it wrong, you...
48:48 Yeah, it makes sense.
48:50 Yes. Okay.
48:51 The bottom line is,
48:52 the Lord expects us to help those in need.
48:55 And to help the oppressed and to do all those things
49:01 but not to destroy property
49:05 or hurt people or attack people.
49:08 That is not, that's not part of the plan,
49:10 but to help people, absolutely.
49:13 To care about them, to feed them,
49:15 to cloth them, absolutely.
49:18 The church is responsible.
49:19 Yeah, of course, they were talking about race,
49:21 but we, I don't want to get into color thing,
49:23 because we just said, whoever's in need,
49:25 that's who we should be helping, right?
49:27 So it doesn't make any difference
49:29 what color we are or what color they are,
49:31 if there's a need, they're children of the Lord,
49:33 and so we should be out there doing our part to support.
49:36 This thing called justice.
49:38 If we're looking,
49:40 it's not to probably be negative,
49:41 if we're looking for justice in this life,
49:45 you probably will not find it,
49:47 because of what we're dealing with the big sin issue.
49:49 Remember the Bible said it rains
49:50 on the just, and the unjust.
49:53 Bad things happen to good people, vice versa.
49:56 We'd all like for it to be
49:58 what the Bible says it needs to be.
50:00 But it may never be that way.
50:02 So how are we going to adjust?
50:04 Like you guys mentioned,
50:05 do what we can do based on scripture,
50:08 because our duty is to God and to our fellow man.
50:11 If we love our fellow man, we love God supremely.
50:14 Are we going to be doing some of the things just,
50:16 you know, even though it's something
50:17 that maybe we need to make a stand on,
50:20 you know, will we treat our fellow man
50:21 a little differently?
50:22 You know, we do things that we're doing
50:24 in order to get attention,
50:26 you know, and people are doing things now.
50:28 Go ahead.
50:29 Well, I really appreciate how Danny turned that around
50:31 and said that that's part
50:33 of what the church should be doing,
50:34 because you look at the early church,
50:36 and that's what they did.
50:37 And I think as we continue to see these
50:40 because those of us who study the Bible,
50:42 we see the prophecies being fulfilled.
50:44 We saw, we've read that our,
50:47 our, even our constitutional rights
50:49 will be repudiated.
50:50 We're seeing that happen with this movement.
50:54 You know, and I don't know
50:56 how much I'm not supposed to say
50:57 or say here,
50:58 but I know socialism is just
51:00 a stepping stone toward communism.
51:03 And I would love to take some of these people
51:06 and put them in a communist country
51:08 which we've all visited,
51:09 and let them see what it's really like.
51:12 Because you know, here in America...
51:14 Yeah.
51:16 And when you, you know, we hear all these things
51:18 of free health care and free education.
51:22 The money comes from somewhere,
51:23 and what we're asking for is more government,
51:26 more government, and we're losing our freedoms,
51:29 do we really want that?
51:31 But we realize in Bible prophecy,
51:33 it's going to happen.
51:34 And I believe, as God's remnant people,
51:38 that we will have to live someday,
51:41 just like the early church did,
51:43 I think we're going to go back to that.
51:45 And you know, you think of the rich young ruler,
51:47 what did God, what did Christ say?
51:48 Go sell all that you have to give to the poor?
51:51 You know, the poor has always had
51:53 a special part in His heart,
51:56 and it should have a special part
51:58 in our heart today.
52:00 And are we our brother's keeper?
52:02 Yeah.
52:03 Yeah, absolutely.
52:05 We had some Jesus loves me role,
52:06 I don't know how long I don't know
52:07 if we've got time to do it,
52:09 we only have about five, six minutes,
52:10 you think that would.
52:12 It may or may not... May or may not.
52:14 May not, we may do it at the top of the hour
52:16 so, folk, we asked you to do your Jesus loves me
52:19 would be a perfect time right now
52:20 because the answer for this world.
52:22 Maybe the greatest song ever written
52:24 Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.
52:27 So I'll say that quite often.
52:29 There's a lot of songs and great songwriters,
52:31 but how do you top that one?
52:33 You can't. The message is so direct.
52:35 And so, maybe right after the top of the hour
52:38 we'll have some of these young folk
52:39 that are singing it
52:41 that you send in and we want you.
52:42 If you want to do it, you can send,
52:43 go to our website
52:45 and just record it on your guitar,
52:46 you piano by yourself
52:48 wherever you are in the world
52:49 and send it to us
52:50 just Jesus loves me this I know,
52:52 and we'll be happy to put it on.
52:53 So we'll do a few after the break.
52:55 What we'll do, we do have to...
52:56 Go ahead.
52:58 No, I just wanted people to know it's not over.
52:59 We still want you to submit your Jesus loves me,
53:03 your version of Jesus loves me
53:05 and we get it from all over the world,
53:07 which is so nice.
53:08 It's so nice to hear Jesus loves me
53:10 in different languages and all that.
53:12 So please don't stop, send, submitting.
53:15 Please send it. Thank you.
53:16 What I wanna squeeze in we didn't really,
53:19 we weren't going to do it right now but we'll do it.
53:21 We were a couple weeks ago at the original 3ABN building
53:24 what we call the Uplink
53:26 where we first had the big huge satellite
53:28 and sent up signals to North America
53:31 and then eventually over to Europe.
53:33 And we were just there and I was showing Yvonne
53:35 and the old shack,
53:37 the little shack was our very first
53:39 and so it was only like two minutes.
53:41 And she just took the video and said, tell me about it.
53:42 And I did.
53:44 So we said well, we'll just show it tonight.
53:46 So we're kind of reminiscing.
53:47 We drove by there a couple weeks ago,
53:49 and reminiscing a little bit and so I'm sure, Kenny,
53:51 you'll enjoy this too.
53:52 So we're going to play that for you right now
53:55 if they're ready for it.
53:58 Yvonne and I are doing a little down memory lane
54:00 this Sunday afternoon
54:02 looks like you're in the middle of August.
54:04 Here's our original building.
54:06 My brothers and I built it.
54:08 And that was our, of course first offices,
54:10 our production center.
54:12 Over here is our generator room.
54:14 And right up above
54:16 is this big 30 some odd feet around 9 or 10-meter dish,
54:21 which was huge.
54:22 It's hard to see,
54:23 all the frame is covered up with growth right now.
54:26 Then over here is our first Europe,
54:28 the one with big satellite with the red on the top.
54:31 That's the first one that took us to Europe.
54:33 So a NET '95, NET '96 when Mark Finley was preaching,
54:37 we put this one on the satellite
54:39 and that way we're able to cover
54:41 not only North America,
54:42 the others are just downlink to receive programming.
54:45 And that little shack right here
54:48 is where we originally started.
54:51 That's the transmitter was in there...
54:53 This is the very first 3ABN building...
54:55 When we went on,
54:56 when we went on the air on Tuesday nights
55:00 and Thursday nights in November of '86,
55:03 we would go in there the transmitter was so loud,
55:06 but we would put a little sign that says free offer,
55:09 the phone would ring and I would come outside
55:11 so I could hear it
55:13 because we had a number of people inside.
55:15 So I would come outside and say,
55:17 Three Angels Broadcasting Network,
55:19 so they thought they were dealing
55:20 with the network on the air
55:22 because we had a few programs on
55:24 and this was it, this is original.
55:26 So look what God has brought till today
55:29 35 going on nearly 36 years,
55:31 it's November
55:33 later since the impression to build
55:35 a television station.
55:36 And God has blessed tremendously.
55:38 How many of these large satellites
55:39 do you have now?
55:41 Well, we don't have any this big,
55:42 we don't need them anymore.
55:44 That's the big C band had gone to KU
55:46 which is smaller systems.
55:48 And, but that would covered all of North America.
55:51 And this other one covered all of Europe.
55:53 And then eventually it's a matter of getting it up
55:55 and satellite to satellite to get to the world.
55:59 Anyway, praise the Lord.
56:00 Praise the Lord.
56:02 Well how about that if you need a camera person,
56:04 you can hire her.
56:05 Oh, I was getting dizzy.
56:07 I was getting dizzy
56:08 from all the swinging back and forth
56:09 with the camera.
56:11 I thought it was good, Honey. It didn't bother me at all.
56:14 I thought it was good, well done.
56:17 Little bit, but no, it was good job.
56:18 Thank you. Thank you.
56:20 That was unplanned. Don't quit my pay job.
56:22 It helps sometimes
56:26 when you're worried about the future
56:28 to look in the past.
56:30 And see what God has done.
56:32 So going out there was such a neat thing.
56:35 We hadn't been out there in a long time and set,
56:37 we opened that little building and looked inside
56:39 and some of the old equipment was still there.
56:42 And we said it brought you back 35 years.
56:44 At that time, we had another,
56:46 we didn't know where it was going to go.
56:48 The big building that we built wasn't even built at that time.
56:51 We were just shelling it up, just builder working on it.
56:54 Well, we had no studios. That was it.
56:56 Answer the phone, go outside shut the door
56:59 so people can hear Three Angels Broadcasting,
57:02 we offer a free gift was amazed
57:03 that people was watching satellite,
57:06 flipping the channels tuning in.
57:08 So to this day, thanks to you 35 plus,
57:11 almost 36 years later,
57:13 this gospel of the kingdom,
57:14 the undiluted three angels' messages,
57:17 one that would counteract the counterfeit
57:19 is going literally into all the world
57:22 like I said tonight,
57:23 places as far away as New Guinea.
57:25 Oh, people in Australia watch, Russia watch,
57:28 literally all around the world.
57:30 They watch and can listen on radio
57:32 in countries around the world.
57:34 Hey, we're going to have to take a short break.
57:36 We're going to be back in just a few moments.
57:38 We're going to be here with Pastor John Lomacang,
57:40 Pastor Ryan Day and Brother Kenny,
57:42 we're going to be talking about the law of God.
