00:00:23.72\00:00:29.96
Heal a heart that hurts

Hello, and welcome
to 3ABN Today Live.
00:01:07.00\00:01:11.03
This is our first
live live of the New Year.
00:01:11.07\00:01:14.30
Okay.
00:01:14.34\00:01:15.67
So we wish our viewing
and listening audience,
00:01:15.70\00:01:17.97
wherever you may
be, a happy new year.
00:01:18.01\00:01:20.44
And we have so much on the plate
00:01:20.48\00:01:23.24
for this coming year.
00:01:23.28\00:01:24.75
And we're very, very excited
00:01:24.78\00:01:26.11
because God has
some wonderful things
00:01:26.15\00:01:28.32
that He's going to do with
us, for us, to us, through us,
00:01:28.35\00:01:30.79
and you're going
to be part of it all.
00:01:30.82\00:01:32.32
Brother Danny
Shelton, president and founder,
00:01:32.35\00:01:33.99
good to have you here.
00:01:34.02\00:01:35.36
Pastor, how you
doing? I am doing well.
00:01:35.39\00:01:36.73
All right. I am doing well.
00:01:36.76\00:01:38.09
It's great to be here, isn't it?
00:01:38.13\00:01:39.46
It is good to be here.
00:01:39.49\00:01:40.83
Great to be alive in closing
moments of earth's history.
00:01:40.86\00:01:42.20
Let's introduce
our other guests.
00:01:42.23\00:01:44.03
And I want to
just thank the folks
00:01:44.07\00:01:45.63
for their
support this past year.
00:01:45.67\00:01:47.44
We have Pastor John
Lomacang. Good to be here.
00:01:47.47\00:01:49.50
Pastor John and
Pastor Kenny Shelton.
00:01:49.54\00:01:50.91
It's good to have
you guys here now.
00:01:50.94\00:01:52.27
Good to be here.
00:01:52.31\00:01:53.64
All of us were just
recently just came back,
00:01:53.68\00:01:55.24
so we're a little
bit on jet lag time
00:01:55.28\00:01:56.98
and six hours ahead.
00:01:57.01\00:01:58.61
We're all, we were
in London for a while.
00:01:58.65\00:02:00.52
And John you stated,
he said, what time is it?
00:02:00.55\00:02:03.52
Depends where you
are. John couldn't enough.
00:02:03.55\00:02:04.89
He couldn't get enough,
00:02:04.92\00:02:06.25
he had to spend a
couple of his days.
00:02:06.29\00:02:07.62
Well, actually,
my wife's birthday
00:02:07.66\00:02:08.99
was on January 12th,
00:02:09.02\00:02:10.36
but she want to be there,
00:02:10.39\00:02:11.73
she had not been
there since she was born,
00:02:11.76\00:02:13.53
to spend time with
her folks in London.
00:02:13.56\00:02:14.93
So we got back last night.
00:02:14.96\00:02:16.30
So right now I'm
asleep in London somewhere,
00:02:16.33\00:02:18.27
my body is here.
00:02:18.30\00:02:19.63
Yeah. Yeah.
00:02:19.67\00:02:21.00
Kenny jut asked me, said,
00:02:21.04\00:02:22.37
what time is it
over there about now?
00:02:22.40\00:02:23.74
I said, it's about time where
we are staring at the ceiling.
00:02:23.77\00:02:25.11
Yeah, about 2:00 in the morning
right now over in London time.
00:02:26.14\00:02:30.11
But we had great meetings there.
00:02:30.15\00:02:31.61
And I want to say to our viewers
00:02:31.65\00:02:32.98
since this is first time C.A's
00:02:33.01\00:02:34.45
and we're doing a "Live
tour" behind the scenes.
00:02:34.48\00:02:37.79
Thank you so much for your love,
00:02:37.82\00:02:39.25
and your prayers,
and financial support
00:02:39.29\00:02:41.12
this past year, 2015.
00:02:41.16\00:02:43.73
Didn't start out so great
00:02:43.76\00:02:45.69
for several
months and, you know,
00:02:45.73\00:02:47.40
financially I'm talking about,
00:02:47.43\00:02:49.20
but you all
stepped up to the plate,
00:02:49.23\00:02:50.93
the last half of this
and literally every month.
00:02:50.97\00:02:53.74
The Blessing On The Go thing,
00:02:53.77\00:02:55.20
we weigh more than doubled
the amount of monthly donors
00:02:55.24\00:02:59.54
that has taken us 30
years to get in six months time,
00:02:59.57\00:03:02.81
so we've got I
think maybe 25 to,
00:03:02.84\00:03:05.21
I'm not sure how many new
ones, maybe 1,500, 2,000 people
00:03:05.25\00:03:08.98
who are now have
joined the Blessing On The Go.
00:03:09.02\00:03:11.95
That's when we, you
send a monthly donation
00:03:11.99\00:03:14.69
to 3ABN of any amount,
we send you a certificate,
00:03:14.72\00:03:17.23
your evangelistic, there
you go Blessing Is On The Go,
00:03:17.26\00:03:20.13
evangelistic team member.
00:03:20.16\00:03:21.76
And then, every month
we will send you a tool,
00:03:21.80\00:03:24.57
evangelistic tool to make you
suddenly become an evangelist.
00:03:24.60\00:03:27.80
You don't have to go to
school four years or six years,
00:03:27.84\00:03:30.04
you just become
the evangelist. Indeed.
00:03:30.07\00:03:31.84
And because now
you're witnessing for Jesus.
00:03:31.87\00:03:34.01
The blessing of
God is on the go.
00:03:34.04\00:03:36.61
Now it doesn't
always have to be,
00:03:36.64\00:03:38.98
and someone help me
00:03:39.01\00:03:40.72
understand this
today, CA, we got a letter.
00:03:40.75\00:03:42.68
And I try to go,
Joe brings them to me,
00:03:42.72\00:03:44.25
we try to go through as
many as we can, Brother Kenny.
00:03:44.29\00:03:46.92
And this person
said, you know what,
00:03:46.96\00:03:48.76
you talk about the
Blessing On The Go,
00:03:48.79\00:03:50.86
but I can't really go anywhere.
00:03:50.89\00:03:52.79
I'm not physically
able to go anywhere.
00:03:52.83\00:03:54.63
But we want you to know
00:03:54.66\00:03:56.00
we're still a team
member because, you know,
00:03:56.03\00:03:57.67
we talk, and we
help, and we support.
00:03:57.70\00:03:59.53
I said, hey, that's going. Amen.
00:03:59.57\00:04:01.27
If you have a telephone, right,
00:04:01.30\00:04:03.14
you got a e-mail, you got a,
00:04:03.17\00:04:05.11
you know, can write a letter.
00:04:05.14\00:04:06.78
And you're witnessing to someone
00:04:06.81\00:04:08.54
and you're telling
folk about the Lord
00:04:08.58\00:04:10.48
and encouraging them
about going to church,
00:04:10.51\00:04:13.08
watching 3ABN, all these things,
00:04:13.11\00:04:15.22
you're a part of the
Blessing Is On The Go.
00:04:15.25\00:04:17.55
God honors that. So
it's not how far you go.
00:04:17.59\00:04:20.49
If it were we
would have chalked up
00:04:20.52\00:04:21.86
a few points this last week
or two, going to London, right?
00:04:21.89\00:04:26.09
Those are pretty
good sized trip, you know,
00:04:26.13\00:04:28.20
we've been to Australia,
New Zealand, and Hong Kong,
00:04:28.23\00:04:30.93
and you name it, you
know, countries around.
00:04:30.97\00:04:32.67
But that's not the way it works.
00:04:32.70\00:04:34.24
The blessing of
God is on the go,
00:04:34.27\00:04:35.77
and that's when
you're willing to say,
00:04:35.80\00:04:37.44
"Lord, come into my life,
00:04:37.47\00:04:39.57
forgive me for my sins
because You're faithful
00:04:39.61\00:04:42.31
and just to
forgive me for my sins
00:04:42.34\00:04:43.98
and cleanse me from
all unrighteousness."
00:04:44.01\00:04:45.35
Amen.
00:04:45.38\00:04:46.72
"Now take me, I come
to the foot of the cross."
00:04:46.75\00:04:48.18
So I always tell people,
the gospel is very simple,
00:04:48.22\00:04:51.12
it's about come and go.
00:04:51.15\00:04:52.49
You come to the
foot of the cross,
00:04:52.52\00:04:53.86
confess your sins,
00:04:53.89\00:04:55.22
and then go and
tell what Jesus has done.
00:04:55.26\00:04:57.63
He says, He'll be faithful
00:04:57.66\00:04:58.99
and just to
forgive us from our sins
00:04:59.03\00:05:00.83
and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
00:05:00.86\00:05:03.97
In December, we ended,
00:05:04.00\00:05:05.53
I think with the largest
00:05:05.57\00:05:08.54
and sometimes
you're hesitant to say it
00:05:08.57\00:05:10.11
because you think people
are going to quit giving.
00:05:10.14\00:05:11.61
But as I said, we
were way behind all year,
00:05:11.64\00:05:14.54
but God finished
this with the highest,
00:05:14.58\00:05:16.38
I think amount of donations,
00:05:16.41\00:05:18.38
and the total amount
in the history of 3ABN
00:05:18.41\00:05:21.38
this December, this past.
00:05:21.42\00:05:22.75
So thank you.
00:05:22.78\00:05:24.12
Praise the Lord, and
thank you and for that,
00:05:24.15\00:05:26.99
because now guess
what, all the bills got paid,
00:05:27.02\00:05:29.92
all the bills got paid
and we're going into January.
00:05:29.96\00:05:32.36
No one, 2015 is behind us,
00:05:32.39\00:05:34.93
nobody's waiting
with their hand out.
00:05:34.96\00:05:37.10
So thank you for what
you do for the cause of God,
00:05:37.13\00:05:39.83
and all those of
you who are giving
00:05:39.87\00:05:41.44
your monthly support.
00:05:41.47\00:05:43.30
There's a few
people called and said,
00:05:43.34\00:05:44.81
"I feel really terrible,
00:05:44.84\00:05:46.68
I was giving $10 a month"
and some older folk and said,
00:05:46.71\00:05:50.28
"I may not be able to
do it for a few months.
00:05:50.31\00:05:52.95
Should I give my, I'll
give my certificate back?"
00:05:52.98\00:05:55.58
We said, "Absolutely
not. Your Blessing On The Go.
00:05:55.62\00:05:58.39
If you can't give a month
or two, you have problems,
00:05:58.42\00:06:00.42
it's not about
what you do every month,
00:06:00.46\00:06:02.72
it's what in general,
you're praying for 3ABN,
00:06:02.76\00:06:04.96
you're supporting 3ABN,
doesn't make any difference."
00:06:04.99\00:06:08.90
We just want you to be
and us to be on the same team
00:06:08.93\00:06:11.97
together and you are.
00:06:12.00\00:06:13.34
So thank you for
your love, your prayers,
00:06:13.37\00:06:15.67
your financial support of 3ABN
00:06:15.70\00:06:18.24
as we take this
gospel of the kingdom
00:06:18.27\00:06:20.31
into all the world.
00:06:20.34\00:06:21.68
Praise the Lord.
00:06:21.71\00:06:23.04
C.A., we've entitled,
00:06:23.08\00:06:24.41
we had a day of
prayer and we entitled,
00:06:24.45\00:06:25.88
we call it every year,
Kenny, we come up with a name,
00:06:25.91\00:06:28.58
something, and this year
is the year of Evangelism.
00:06:28.62\00:06:31.79
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:06:31.82\00:06:33.15
All right, somebody take
it from me, what's that mean?
00:06:33.19\00:06:34.72
That means go!
00:06:34.76\00:06:36.39
You know, this
is an exciting time
00:06:36.42\00:06:38.19
in earth's history to be living.
00:06:38.23\00:06:39.76
And so, when we talk
about the Blessings On The Go,
00:06:39.79\00:06:42.00
and giving and
balancing the books financially,
00:06:42.03\00:06:44.87
it's all about
really the kingdom.
00:06:44.90\00:06:46.23
I was, I was
taking into consideration,
00:06:46.27\00:06:48.77
just today Angie and
I was talking about it.
00:06:48.80\00:06:51.24
We got a call early this morning
00:06:51.27\00:06:52.61
which was not really early
00:06:52.64\00:06:54.11
but late when
you consider London,
00:06:54.14\00:06:55.51
but getting home at 11 o'clock
at night really doesn't help.
00:06:55.54\00:06:58.85
And we were saying, "Man,
00:06:58.88\00:07:00.22
there's so much
happening in the world today.
00:07:00.25\00:07:02.32
But what we want to
know is that our time,
00:07:02.35\00:07:03.79
our strengthen, and our energies
00:07:03.82\00:07:05.15
is going to the
proclamation of the gospel,
00:07:05.19\00:07:07.66
getting people ready
for the coming of the Lord."
00:07:07.69\00:07:10.09
And we had a lady that,
just before we left London,
00:07:10.13\00:07:13.96
this lady was not able
to, she wasn't walking,
00:07:14.00\00:07:17.50
she was in her own
wheelchair, and she says,
00:07:17.53\00:07:20.04
she grabbed my hand as
I was walking past her.
00:07:20.07\00:07:21.84
And it's funny you
said that a moment ago,
00:07:21.87\00:07:23.91
and she said,
"Tell Danny Shelton,
00:07:23.94\00:07:26.27
I can't walk but
I'm on the Go Team."
00:07:26.31\00:07:28.74
Praise the Lord.
00:07:28.78\00:07:30.11
Wonderful. All right.
00:07:30.15\00:07:31.48
That's good.
00:07:31.51\00:07:32.85
And she says now don't
forget and when you said that
00:07:32.88\00:07:34.22
it reminded me.
00:07:34.25\00:07:35.58
She said, "Tell, I can't
walk, but I am on the Go Team."
00:07:35.62\00:07:37.25
Absolutely.
00:07:37.29\00:07:38.62
And that's a
praise the Lord. Yeah.
00:07:38.65\00:07:39.99
There are people that
believe in the vision. Yeah.
00:07:40.02\00:07:41.66
And see, it takes a collective,
it takes a collective effort.
00:07:41.69\00:07:45.33
Those who are behind the scenes,
00:07:45.36\00:07:47.23
in front of the scenes,
00:07:47.26\00:07:48.60
the Bible says God gave
to everyone different gifts.
00:07:48.63\00:07:52.40
And so evangelism is one.
00:07:52.43\00:07:54.80
Somebody else has
administrative gifts.
00:07:54.84\00:07:57.41
Some have gifts of
kindness, gifts of helps.
00:07:57.44\00:08:00.14
We don't think
of the gift of help.
00:08:00.18\00:08:01.51
Helping the world go forward,
00:08:01.54\00:08:02.88
that's a gift
listed and pliable.
00:08:02.91\00:08:04.25
It is a gift. It is a gift, yes.
00:08:04.28\00:08:05.61
So, Pastor, I need help,
and you help me, that's a gift.
00:08:05.65\00:08:06.98
But some people don't
have that gift, so they,
00:08:07.02\00:08:08.78
but they may have
the evangelistic gift.
00:08:08.82\00:08:10.95
All together, we fill up,
00:08:10.99\00:08:12.95
we fulfill the vision of
the entire body of Christ.
00:08:12.99\00:08:14.96
I like that.
00:08:14.99\00:08:16.32
And the body, the
Bible talks about the body,
00:08:16.36\00:08:17.69
the hand, the eye.
00:08:17.73\00:08:19.06
Everybody has a specific task.
00:08:19.09\00:08:21.13
And if we all work
together, and that's what,
00:08:21.16\00:08:23.30
that's what the evangelistic
tool is all about, Danny.
00:08:23.33\00:08:25.80
Yeah.
00:08:25.83\00:08:27.17
The idea that if you cannot go,
you cannot give a Bible study,
00:08:27.20\00:08:29.87
here's a tool that
you get every month
00:08:29.90\00:08:31.91
that you can designate,
you can send it to someone,
00:08:31.94\00:08:34.81
you can give it
to a family member,
00:08:34.84\00:08:36.51
then you are an
active part of the team,
00:08:36.54\00:08:38.75
you are on the team and
you're doing with the team.
00:08:38.78\00:08:40.75
So the fact that you
can't get out and get around,
00:08:40.78\00:08:43.39
that's all right.
00:08:43.42\00:08:44.75
If you support those who
do get out and get around,
00:08:44.79\00:08:47.52
if you pray, if
you use your tool,
00:08:47.56\00:08:49.89
you are an active
member of the team.
00:08:49.92\00:08:52.19
And you are one with us
and we appreciate that so much.
00:08:52.23\00:08:54.96
We had a... Go ahead, Kenny.
00:08:55.00\00:08:56.33
I was thinking there
00:08:56.36\00:08:57.70
when you talk about evangelism
00:08:57.73\00:08:59.07
and when you read the scripture,
00:08:59.10\00:09:00.47
Spirit of Prophecy,
it becomes very clear,
00:09:00.50\00:09:02.90
God doesn't view even evangelism
00:09:02.94\00:09:05.64
the way we view evangelism
00:09:05.67\00:09:07.74
because you just mentioned here,
00:09:07.78\00:09:09.11
each person has
a different gift.
00:09:09.14\00:09:11.58
And sometime the gift would be,
00:09:11.61\00:09:13.38
if God says to
Mr. Smith over here,
00:09:13.42\00:09:16.38
"What I want you to do
is go to work every day.
00:09:16.42\00:09:18.95
I want you to be
faithful when you go to work.
00:09:18.99\00:09:21.22
You get that
paycheck, you support 3ABN."
00:09:21.26\00:09:24.89
God will count that man
00:09:24.93\00:09:26.26
just as faithful
and a soul winner,
00:09:26.29\00:09:28.63
there will be
stars in his crown.
00:09:28.66\00:09:30.93
He doesn't have to
travel to other countries.
00:09:30.97\00:09:33.37
He doesn't really have to,
00:09:33.40\00:09:34.74
because God has
assigned him something to do
00:09:34.77\00:09:38.77
so that this gospel can be
preached into all the world.
00:09:38.81\00:09:41.64
So we can all get involved.
00:09:41.68\00:09:43.81
See, we all get
involved and do it,
00:09:43.85\00:09:45.41
and I like it
because God is so merciful,
00:09:45.45\00:09:48.78
so kind, so good, so fair
00:09:48.82\00:09:51.65
that He looks
at every individual
00:09:51.69\00:09:53.62
doing the best that they can.
00:09:53.66\00:09:55.62
And he's going to
say to these people,
00:09:55.66\00:09:57.29
because some people
say, "If I don't go,
00:09:57.33\00:09:58.93
you know, get Bible studies,
00:09:58.96\00:10:00.30
and I can't travel,
I just feel like..."
00:10:00.33\00:10:01.96
Do what God has asked you to do.
00:10:02.00\00:10:04.17
Okay.
00:10:04.20\00:10:05.53
Again, that's just job,
00:10:05.57\00:10:07.67
send the finances to
those who are on the frontline,
00:10:07.70\00:10:10.41
get this work
done, and let's go home.
00:10:10.44\00:10:12.11
So I'm glad heaven views
it little different sometimes
00:10:12.14\00:10:14.98
than we do.
00:10:15.01\00:10:16.58
That's a good point,
00:10:16.61\00:10:17.95
because there are
people who feel like, man, I,
00:10:17.98\00:10:20.12
you know, am I really
doing what God wants me to do?
00:10:20.15\00:10:22.92
But as you said,
if you've got a job
00:10:22.95\00:10:24.32
and you're in a factory
every week, you can witness.
00:10:24.35\00:10:26.82
There's a lot of folk, I worked
00:10:26.86\00:10:28.19
when I was young
right out of high school
00:10:28.22\00:10:29.56
for a while in a factory.
00:10:29.59\00:10:30.93
And where they made
swing sets, you know,
00:10:30.96\00:10:32.69
and it was on a conveyor belt.
00:10:32.73\00:10:34.06
But there's a lot
of people around you.
00:10:34.10\00:10:36.06
And when those
conveyor belts get so fast
00:10:36.10\00:10:38.23
and you don't get
your so many swing,
00:10:38.27\00:10:41.37
parts of those
swing on, and it stops,
00:10:41.40\00:10:43.77
and everybody gets mad at you.
00:10:43.81\00:10:45.14
Because you know what
they call it peace time,
00:10:45.17\00:10:47.11
you'll hear a lot
of folk need Jesus,
00:10:47.14\00:10:48.91
because I've
heard a lot of cussing
00:10:48.94\00:10:50.28
when things like that happen
00:10:50.31\00:10:51.65
and things going on
and tempers flaring.
00:10:51.68\00:10:53.75
So what Kenny,
Brother Kenny is saying,
00:10:53.78\00:10:56.12
if you're going
to work every day,
00:10:56.15\00:10:57.65
with coal mines
around here, whatever it is,
00:10:57.69\00:10:59.85
you can be a witness to support
your church, support ministry,
00:10:59.89\00:11:04.53
and you're doing what
God's called you to do.
00:11:04.56\00:11:05.99
Absolutely.
00:11:06.03\00:11:07.36
But Brother John, he's had,
00:11:07.40\00:11:08.73
called John to
go around the world.
00:11:08.76\00:11:10.43
So for you, John, probably
working in a coal mines,
00:11:10.47\00:11:13.40
that's not what God
has called you to do.
00:11:13.44\00:11:15.80
And I'll say
hallelujah for that.
00:11:15.84\00:11:19.07
I mean, I'm not even,
00:11:19.11\00:11:20.44
I'm not even take time
to think about that one.
00:11:20.48\00:11:22.14
Thank you.
00:11:22.18\00:11:23.68
But being faithful, and I
think that's where you're going,
00:11:23.71\00:11:25.45
being faithful to
whatever task you're doing,
00:11:25.48\00:11:27.68
witnesses for the Lord.
00:11:27.72\00:11:29.05
Because there
are a lot of people
00:11:29.08\00:11:30.42
who are stealing from their job,
00:11:30.45\00:11:31.79
punching the time
clock and getting out early.
00:11:31.82\00:11:33.15
A lot of the things,
games are being played,
00:11:33.19\00:11:34.52
you know, on, but a
person who come to work on time,
00:11:34.56\00:11:37.26
dresses appropriately, is kind,
when things go wrong are calm.
00:11:37.29\00:11:42.13
And people watch that, you know.
00:11:42.16\00:11:44.37
And all of that
preaches a sermon,
00:11:44.40\00:11:46.00
and all of that says
that you have something.
00:11:46.03\00:11:48.00
And people will say,
well, I wish I had that.
00:11:48.04\00:11:49.80
I wish I could be
calm in those instances.
00:11:49.84\00:11:51.31
I used to work in a Chevy
plant when I was in high school
00:11:51.34\00:11:53.74
and there was a fellow
00:11:53.78\00:11:55.11
who was the
head of our division.
00:11:55.14\00:11:58.38
And the slightest little thing,
00:11:58.41\00:11:59.75
he would just lose
his ever loving mind.
00:11:59.78\00:12:01.58
I've never seen a
person, just for little thing,
00:12:01.62\00:12:04.19
he would just get blow up.
00:12:04.22\00:12:06.32
And there was
this Adventist there,
00:12:06.35\00:12:08.32
and you talk about a
guy with the patience of Job
00:12:08.36\00:12:10.49
and who was his associate.
00:12:10.53\00:12:11.89
Yeah.
00:12:11.93\00:12:13.26
And the contrast
between the two was so stark,
00:12:13.29\00:12:16.26
this guy would be just raving,
00:12:16.30\00:12:17.63
and screaming and every curse
he'd string words together.
00:12:17.67\00:12:19.90
He was just very inventive,
00:12:19.93\00:12:21.34
put these long
list of words together.
00:12:21.37\00:12:23.10
And this
Adventist be just as calm
00:12:23.14\00:12:24.57
and wait for him to calm down
00:12:24.61\00:12:26.54
and he said for me, a term
that I use, he said, "You know,
00:12:26.57\00:12:29.28
both of us can dive in.
00:12:29.31\00:12:30.81
So I'll stand on
shore and hold the rope
00:12:30.85\00:12:32.75
and you dive in and
get crazy," you know.
00:12:32.78\00:12:34.65
And people would say, you know,
00:12:34.68\00:12:36.58
this guy is
keeping this guy's job
00:12:36.62\00:12:38.92
because he's calm,
00:12:38.95\00:12:40.29
and he was a
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:12:40.32\00:12:41.66
And he like to know
that Christ can keep you calm
00:12:41.69\00:12:44.16
in the midst of the storm.
00:12:44.19\00:12:45.53
So if you're keeping calm
in the midst of the storm,
00:12:45.56\00:12:47.26
you're witnessing for the Lord.
00:12:47.30\00:12:48.63
And believe me,
people are seeing that.
00:12:48.66\00:12:50.07
Amen. They're
seeing what you're doing.
00:12:50.10\00:12:51.43
And we are accepted
according to what we have,
00:12:51.47\00:12:53.70
not according to
what we do not have.
00:12:53.74\00:12:55.07
There you go.
00:12:55.10\00:12:56.44
A number of years ago, I
think it was in Fairfield,
00:12:56.47\00:12:58.61
in Fairfield, California,
00:12:58.64\00:12:59.97
pastoring when I
discovered this scripture.
00:13:00.01\00:13:02.04
I read through the Bible before.
00:13:02.08\00:13:03.41
But, you know, when
you do those Bible plans,
00:13:03.45\00:13:05.25
that's why I don't
do a Bible reading plan,
00:13:05.28\00:13:06.65
I don't want to,
00:13:06.68\00:13:08.02
I don't want to ice
ski through the Bible,
00:13:08.05\00:13:09.88
or water ski, I
want to glean through.
00:13:09.92\00:13:13.42
This scripture really
made a lot of sense to me,
00:13:13.46\00:13:16.16
praise God for that.
00:13:16.19\00:13:17.53
But it says, "For
if," 2 Corinthians 8:12,
00:13:17.56\00:13:21.10
if you're listening.
00:13:21.13\00:13:22.46
"For if there is
first a willing mind,
00:13:22.50\00:13:25.97
it is accepted
according to what one has,
00:13:26.00\00:13:28.70
and not according to
what he does not have."
00:13:28.74\00:13:30.47
That's right.
00:13:30.51\00:13:31.84
I'm willing to
do whatever, Lord.
00:13:31.87\00:13:33.48
Somebody say, pray to be, say,
Lord, I'm willing to be willing.
00:13:33.51\00:13:36.78
And it continues,
00:13:36.81\00:13:38.18
"For I do not mean
that others should be eased
00:13:38.21\00:13:41.35
and you
burdened, by your equality,
00:13:41.38\00:13:44.89
that now at this time
00:13:44.92\00:13:46.45
your abundance
supplies my lack."
00:13:46.49\00:13:49.02
So in the future, my
abundance supplies your lack
00:13:49.06\00:13:52.33
so that there may be equality.
00:13:52.36\00:13:54.70
So there are
those who don't have...
00:13:54.73\00:13:56.06
That's right.
00:13:56.10\00:13:57.43
And are being
supplied by our abundance.
00:13:57.47\00:13:59.60
There are those
who have abundance
00:13:59.63\00:14:00.97
and they're supplying our lack.
00:14:01.00\00:14:02.57
But the Lord says,
00:14:02.60\00:14:03.94
it doesn't mean that
you should be burdened
00:14:03.97\00:14:06.01
and you should be
eased, but He says,
00:14:06.04\00:14:07.64
I want equality
so if you're willing,
00:14:07.68\00:14:10.15
that's where it begins.
00:14:10.18\00:14:11.51
Amen.
00:14:11.55\00:14:12.88
And I got a term you always use,
00:14:12.91\00:14:14.45
God asks Moses,
what's that in your hand.
00:14:14.48\00:14:16.38
What do you got, you know?
00:14:16.42\00:14:17.75
There's a fellow here, Bobby,
00:14:17.79\00:14:19.12
he picks us from
the airport sometimes.
00:14:19.15\00:14:20.49
We are parked in
a no-parking zone,
00:14:20.52\00:14:22.06
so a cop came over.
00:14:22.09\00:14:23.49
He says, "Move that car."
00:14:23.53\00:14:24.86
So Bobby said, I'm
just speaking of CA Murray.
00:14:24.89\00:14:28.56
He said, "Well, move
the car." Bobby said, "Okay.
00:14:28.60\00:14:30.93
By the way, before I move
it, here's a tract for you."
00:14:30.97\00:14:33.10
Go on. "Here's a tract."
00:14:33.13\00:14:34.47
And you could see
his shoulders drop,
00:14:34.50\00:14:36.04
and you know, he got calmer,
00:14:36.07\00:14:37.54
and he said, "Thank
you very, very much."
00:14:37.57\00:14:39.67
And I think you know,
that's a, that's witnessing,
00:14:39.71\00:14:42.41
that's evangelism.
00:14:42.44\00:14:43.78
You defuse the
situation with the love of God,
00:14:43.81\00:14:45.65
because the cop was mad.
00:14:45.68\00:14:47.02
"Move the car", you know.
00:14:47.05\00:14:48.38
"Okay. I am moving.
00:14:48.42\00:14:49.75
God bless you, here's a tract."
00:14:49.78\00:14:51.12
You know, that's good.
00:14:51.15\00:14:52.49
And I was thinking
while ago for young people,
00:14:52.52\00:14:53.86
we actually are going
somewhere in this program,
00:14:53.89\00:14:55.22
we're talking now.
00:14:55.26\00:14:56.59
This is just our intro, right?
00:14:56.62\00:14:57.96
Yeah.
00:14:57.99\00:14:59.33
London, Bible topics, all that.
00:14:59.36\00:15:01.16
But I was thinking, you know,
for young people, especially,
00:15:01.20\00:15:03.80
I wish I could have do-overs.
00:15:03.83\00:15:06.70
You know, get do-overs
00:15:06.74\00:15:08.20
and your effects
to certain people.
00:15:08.24\00:15:10.37
Like Kenny and I, we
were very competitive,
00:15:10.41\00:15:12.71
that's an understatement,
very competitive ballplayers.
00:15:12.74\00:15:16.41
Whether it was a
fast pitch softball,
00:15:16.44\00:15:18.85
whether it was basketball, I
don't care if it's ping-pong,
00:15:18.88\00:15:21.78
we were very competitive.
00:15:21.82\00:15:23.22
So we had our teams,
yet we were church members
00:15:23.25\00:15:26.42
and considered
ourselves Christians
00:15:26.45\00:15:28.52
but I could argue
with the best of them.
00:15:28.56\00:15:30.76
Somebody do
something, the umpire,
00:15:30.79\00:15:32.46
I don't know how
many I've really,
00:15:32.49\00:15:33.83
given them a piece of my mind.
00:15:33.86\00:15:35.20
But you look back, you
can't do much about that now
00:15:35.23\00:15:37.70
other than say I'm
sorry, but maybe it's too late.
00:15:37.73\00:15:40.24
Wouldn't it be better
had I really had the patience
00:15:40.27\00:15:43.00
and really
understood relationship.
00:15:43.04\00:15:45.07
But thankfully God had patience
with me for a long enough time
00:15:45.11\00:15:49.84
that I developed
relationship with the Lord.
00:15:49.88\00:15:52.78
Not that I still don't do things
because I have a tendency,
00:15:52.81\00:15:55.92
I am what you sees what you get,
00:15:55.95\00:15:57.69
and I don't tend
to hide feelings.
00:15:57.72\00:15:59.65
So if something happens,
00:15:59.69\00:16:01.02
I don't, I
never yell and scream,
00:16:01.06\00:16:02.39
I am not, you all round,
00:16:02.42\00:16:03.89
but I'm a
straightforward is what you get.
00:16:03.93\00:16:06.03
My deal with the
policeman, we call them cop.
00:16:06.06\00:16:09.06
I'm waiting on
somebody to come out the door,
00:16:09.10\00:16:11.63
he walks over and
says, "Move your car."
00:16:11.67\00:16:14.20
And there was a
car in front of me
00:16:14.24\00:16:15.84
so I had to wait for it to move.
00:16:15.87\00:16:17.84
He took his flashlight
00:16:17.87\00:16:19.54
and kind of tapped the car
and said, "I said move it."
00:16:19.57\00:16:22.51
What did I do, I
didn't hand him a tract,
00:16:22.54\00:16:24.25
I said, "You get, you
don't do that anymore.
00:16:24.28\00:16:26.55
That's, you get that flashlight
and you put it back in there
00:16:26.58\00:16:30.19
because you're not
going to hit my car.
00:16:30.22\00:16:31.79
You know, I can't move."
00:16:31.82\00:16:33.15
So I caught myself, I say now,
00:16:33.19\00:16:34.52
I probably could've
been a little easier on him.
00:16:34.56\00:16:36.36
So but Bobby and
Garland, we talk about, yeah.
00:16:36.39\00:16:41.66
We talk about,
they go to the airport.
00:16:41.70\00:16:44.20
I've had so many people tell me,
00:16:44.23\00:16:46.63
these drivers of yours 3ABN,
00:16:46.67\00:16:48.64
from the time they pick
us, so these would be visitors,
00:16:48.67\00:16:50.77
folks coming here
to sing, to whatever,
00:16:50.81\00:16:52.74
they are the kindest
people, they showed Jesus to us.
00:16:52.77\00:16:56.38
By the time we get
to 3ABN, we love it
00:16:56.41\00:16:58.38
because they're telling
us all about the ministry
00:16:58.41\00:17:01.35
and about what the ministry does
00:17:01.38\00:17:03.08
and the purpose.
00:17:03.12\00:17:04.45
And I can't tell
you how many times
00:17:04.49\00:17:06.62
for Bob and Garland
too, and their families,
00:17:06.65\00:17:08.29
their wives, how good impression
00:17:08.32\00:17:11.36
because they're
always witnessing to people.
00:17:11.39\00:17:13.40
So God give me that also. Amen.
00:17:13.43\00:17:15.76
I think what we want to do
is we want to have a prayer,
00:17:15.80\00:17:18.17
then we're going
to have some music,
00:17:18.20\00:17:19.73
right, by Gerri Lynn.
00:17:19.77\00:17:21.17
I think, Kenny, our niece
00:17:21.20\00:17:22.54
is going to be
singing here in abit.
00:17:22.57\00:17:23.91
Amen.
00:17:23.94\00:17:25.27
But, maybe we
could ask Brother Kenny,
00:17:25.31\00:17:26.64
if you would say a
special prayer for us.
00:17:26.68\00:17:28.61
And then by God's grace,
00:17:28.64\00:17:31.05
we got some
exciting things to cover.
00:17:31.08\00:17:34.02
And we want to do
this together with you.
00:17:34.05\00:17:35.38
And then little later on,
00:17:35.42\00:17:36.75
we're going to take
some calls from you,
00:17:36.79\00:17:38.72
Bible questions, comments,
whatever's on your mind,
00:17:38.75\00:17:41.49
we'd love to hear from you.
00:17:41.52\00:17:42.86
You going to pray.
00:17:42.89\00:17:44.23
You know, I just want
to ask the folks at home.
00:17:44.26\00:17:45.59
Some of them, if they
can, they could even kneel.
00:17:45.63\00:17:47.73
We're kind of
in our chairs here,
00:17:47.76\00:17:49.73
but you know, they
can pray along with us.
00:17:49.76\00:17:51.20
And it's important that
we all be on the same page.
00:17:51.23\00:17:53.70
So let's all pray.
00:17:53.74\00:17:55.07
Let's ask for the power
of the Holy Spirit, shall we?
00:17:55.10\00:17:57.14
Merciful Father
in heaven, again,
00:17:57.17\00:17:58.51
and truly we thank You
for the privilege of prayer.
00:17:58.54\00:18:01.38
We thank You that we
can call You our Father.
00:18:01.41\00:18:03.88
We're thankful to be
part of the family of God.
00:18:03.91\00:18:06.55
Unworthy as we
are, because of Jesus,
00:18:06.58\00:18:09.38
because of His sacrifice
made up on Calvary's cross,
00:18:09.42\00:18:12.72
we may have that
chance for eternal life.
00:18:12.75\00:18:15.12
Lord, I thank You for that blood
00:18:15.16\00:18:16.83
that cleanses us from
all sin, all unrighteousness.
00:18:16.86\00:18:20.70
Now, Father in
heaven, I praise You
00:18:20.73\00:18:22.86
as You send the Holy Spirit,
00:18:22.90\00:18:24.87
we ask for the Holy Spirit
to come and descend upon us,
00:18:24.90\00:18:27.94
open our hearts
and open our minds
00:18:27.97\00:18:29.67
and be with God's children
who are listening and watching.
00:18:29.70\00:18:33.07
We pray their minds
and hearts will be open,
00:18:33.11\00:18:34.78
we're living in an
awesome time of earth's history.
00:18:34.81\00:18:37.65
There's a work to be done.
00:18:37.68\00:18:39.01
And, oh, Lord, we
want to be in the vineyard.
00:18:39.05\00:18:40.68
There are those
who are crying out
00:18:40.72\00:18:42.05
by the hundreds of thousands,
00:18:42.08\00:18:43.82
Lord, I want to go to
work, so many don't know how.
00:18:43.85\00:18:48.06
I pray that You
will bless this program
00:18:48.09\00:18:50.39
as thou that see fit.
00:18:50.43\00:18:51.76
Words will be
spoken that will encourage
00:18:51.79\00:18:53.66
those who want to
get out of their chair
00:18:53.70\00:18:55.73
but they don't know how.
00:18:55.76\00:18:57.10
And we pray the Holy
Spirit will help us now,
00:18:57.13\00:18:59.00
anoint every word, every prayer,
00:18:59.03\00:19:00.54
every song, every thought
00:19:00.57\00:19:02.14
that would bring honor and glory
00:19:02.17\00:19:03.51
to the King of
kings, and Lord of lord.
00:19:03.54\00:19:04.97
I thank You for hearing,
thank You for answering prayer,
00:19:05.01\00:19:07.28
Thank You for my
brothers that sat around here,
00:19:07.31\00:19:09.24
and for all of 3ABN.
00:19:09.28\00:19:10.68
And in Jesus' name we
pray, and it's his for his sake.
00:19:10.71\00:19:13.55
Amen. Amen.
00:19:13.58\00:19:14.92
Danny, Danny
something just popped in my mind
00:19:14.95\00:19:16.48
to make the program a
little more interactive.
00:19:16.52\00:19:18.69
If there are those of you
00:19:18.72\00:19:20.19
who are getting a
very special response
00:19:20.22\00:19:23.46
to your evangelism tool,
00:19:23.49\00:19:25.33
or if you have a unique way
00:19:25.36\00:19:26.70
that you are using
your evangelism tool,
00:19:26.73\00:19:28.60
email us or call us tonight.
00:19:28.63\00:19:30.03
We'd like to use
that information.
00:19:30.07\00:19:31.60
Because usually
when we talk about this
00:19:31.63\00:19:33.00
is on behind the
scenes, which is pre-recorded.
00:19:33.03\00:19:35.07
So we don't get a
chance to talk to you live.
00:19:35.10\00:19:36.64
But if you've
had a good response
00:19:36.67\00:19:38.07
to your evangelism tool,
00:19:38.11\00:19:39.44
maybe you've given you
someone, they thank you for it,
00:19:39.47\00:19:41.54
or using it in a unique way,
00:19:41.58\00:19:43.55
get that to us and we
want to read it tonight,
00:19:43.58\00:19:45.45
because that
will encourage others
00:19:45.48\00:19:46.82
and maybe give them good ideas.
00:19:46.85\00:19:48.82
Because, you know,
you're getting it every month,
00:19:48.85\00:19:51.09
what are you doing with it?
00:19:51.12\00:19:52.45
How is it blessing others?
00:19:52.49\00:19:53.82
And we surely
would like to hear that,
00:19:53.86\00:19:55.86
this very night.
00:19:55.89\00:19:57.53
Our music is coming from
Gerri Lynn Shelton Mendenhall.
00:19:57.56\00:20:00.80
All right. It's
easy for you to say.
00:20:00.83\00:20:03.67
Who we watch grow
up, kind of on 3ABN.
00:20:03.70\00:20:05.10
Well, we have. Yeah.
00:20:05.13\00:20:06.47
As little girl. A little girl.
00:20:06.50\00:20:07.84
Wonderful young
niece, right, Kenny?
00:20:07.87\00:20:09.34
Amen. Still a baby to us now.
00:20:09.37\00:20:11.77
You know, of course, she
has her baby now, in case,
00:20:11.81\00:20:14.28
and you know what great folk.
00:20:14.31\00:20:15.64
But we love Gerri Lynn
and God has gifted her.
00:20:15.68\00:20:17.68
Married to a jet pilot?
00:20:17.71\00:20:19.05
Yeah. Absolutely.
00:20:19.08\00:20:20.45
And God has
gifted her with music.
00:20:20.48\00:20:23.08
And I'm so thankful
when she's able to come.
00:20:23.12\00:20:24.85
They live down in Mississippi
but when they're here,
00:20:24.89\00:20:26.89
enable to sing with us, for us.
00:20:26.92\00:20:28.86
Amen.
00:20:28.89\00:20:30.23
If there ever was a time
00:20:43.27\00:20:46.44
I needed You before Lord,
00:20:46.47\00:20:51.95
I need You now
00:20:51.98\00:20:55.68
And if there was a trial
I couldn't handle on my own
00:20:55.72\00:21:03.16
That's how this feels somehow
00:21:03.19\00:21:08.30
And if there ever was a
child crying out for help
00:21:08.33\00:21:16.10
That's what this song's about
00:21:16.14\00:21:21.58
If there ever was a time
I needed You before Lord,
00:21:21.61\00:21:28.92
I need You now
00:21:28.95\00:21:33.82
If there ever was a Friend
00:21:33.86\00:21:37.43
Who always kept His Word Lord,
00:21:37.46\00:21:43.06
I know it's You
00:21:43.10\00:21:46.10
For there's never been a time
00:21:46.13\00:21:49.44
that You've left me all alone
00:21:49.47\00:21:53.48
Or been untrue
00:21:53.51\00:21:57.41
And if I know anything
00:21:57.45\00:22:02.55
it's that You will meet my need
00:22:02.58\00:22:05.99
Just like You always do
00:22:06.02\00:22:11.93
So I'm leaning on Your
Love and counting on Your Grace
00:22:11.96\00:22:18.30
Just to see me through
00:22:18.33\00:22:22.50
I need You to remind me
00:22:22.54\00:22:28.54
how faithful You have been
00:22:28.58\00:22:35.05
And when I'm at my weakest
00:22:35.08\00:22:41.22
that's where
Your Strength begins
00:22:41.26\00:22:48.60
If there ever was a time
00:22:48.63\00:22:52.47
I needed You before Lord,
00:22:52.50\00:22:58.64
I need You now
00:22:58.67\00:23:01.68
And if there was a trial
I couldn't handle on my own
00:23:01.71\00:23:09.25
That's how this feels somehow
00:23:09.28\00:23:14.22
And if there ever was a
child crying out for help
00:23:14.26\00:23:21.96
That's what this
song's about, all about
00:23:22.00\00:23:27.80
If there ever was a time
I needed You before Lord,
00:23:27.84\00:23:35.58
I need You now
00:23:35.61\00:23:40.22
If there ever was a Friend,
00:23:40.25\00:23:43.69
Lord I know it's You
00:23:43.72\00:23:47.62
And I need You now
00:23:47.66\00:23:53.80
I need
00:23:53.83\00:23:58.57
You now
00:23:58.60\00:24:05.57
Amen. That's a two hander.
00:24:08.94\00:24:10.95
Beautiful. Gerri
Lynn, thank you so much.
00:24:10.98\00:24:13.18
What a gift, what an
anointing that she has.
00:24:13.21\00:24:15.32
John and CA, we're
all just commenting
00:24:15.35\00:24:17.85
and John says,
she's feeling that song,
00:24:17.89\00:24:20.76
she's been through something
00:24:20.79\00:24:22.12
that God has
brought her through.
00:24:22.16\00:24:23.49
Yeah, she's, how I said,
00:24:23.53\00:24:24.86
I would love to know
where she is in her life
00:24:24.89\00:24:27.36
at that moment
she sings that song.
00:24:27.40\00:24:28.73
Yeah.
00:24:28.76\00:24:30.10
Because it's coming
across quite differently
00:24:30.13\00:24:31.47
than just I am recording a song,
00:24:31.50\00:24:33.13
I'm just singing to the cameras.
00:24:33.17\00:24:34.80
It's coming across this
ministry from the heart.
00:24:34.84\00:24:37.51
Absolutely.
00:24:37.54\00:24:38.87
If ever was a time I
need you, Lord, it's now.
00:24:38.91\00:24:40.54
All right. We've got
a free offer tonight.
00:24:40.58\00:24:42.81
Looks like a little one but
there's a lot of information
00:24:42.84\00:24:44.95
it unfolds on you, there you go.
00:24:44.98\00:24:47.15
And it says, "Does
God's Authority Matter?"
00:24:47.18\00:24:51.25
And of course, it
shows state buildings,
00:24:51.29\00:24:53.86
look like government
buildings, it shows church,
00:24:53.89\00:24:55.76
it shows the Ten Commandments,
the insights, the antichrist,
00:24:55.79\00:24:58.66
the gender revealed,
00:24:58.69\00:25:00.03
the seal of God or
the mark of the beast.
00:25:00.06\00:25:02.00
So it's got a
whole lot of things here.
00:25:02.03\00:25:03.93
I'm surprised, I can read
this without my glasses tonight.
00:25:03.97\00:25:06.67
"What was God's
promise of the new covenant?"
00:25:06.70\00:25:09.17
You know, and the scriptures
too here, "Does God's,
00:25:09.20\00:25:11.77
what's the difference
between the law of God
00:25:11.81\00:25:13.58
and the law of Moses?"
00:25:13.61\00:25:14.94
All of that is on this.
00:25:14.98\00:25:16.31
It's a great little
3ABN tract they put together.
00:25:16.34\00:25:19.65
So hopefully, you can
get this and you want it.
00:25:19.68\00:25:22.62
It's free offer
at (618) 627-4651
00:25:22.65\00:25:27.02
or you can e-mail
freeoffer@3abn.tv, 3abn.tv.
00:25:27.06\00:25:33.33
And we'll make
sure that you get this,
00:25:33.36\00:25:35.46
you can read it,
00:25:35.50\00:25:36.83
and then use it as
an evangelistic tool,
00:25:36.87\00:25:39.13
give it to
somebody else that you know
00:25:39.17\00:25:41.20
and who you think needs it.
00:25:41.24\00:25:42.74
Amen.
00:25:42.77\00:25:44.11
So Dr. Murray,
00:25:44.14\00:25:45.47
we're going to
talk about London some.
00:25:45.51\00:25:46.84
What's your state of
the union, if we ask you,
00:25:46.88\00:25:51.15
kind of give us a
summary of London, our trip,
00:25:51.18\00:25:54.78
what would you say?
00:25:54.82\00:25:56.15
You know, God is so good
00:25:56.18\00:25:58.09
and Pastor John said it tonight,
00:25:58.12\00:25:59.85
and you say it often,
00:25:59.89\00:26:01.22
this is a great
time to be alive.
00:26:01.26\00:26:02.59
Thank you.
00:26:02.62\00:26:03.96
It's a
wonderful time to be alive
00:26:03.99\00:26:05.33
and to stand still sometimes
00:26:05.36\00:26:07.70
and see the
salvation of the Lord.
00:26:07.73\00:26:09.43
And when we can't, God can.
00:26:09.46\00:26:11.67
And when we don't
quite know what to do,
00:26:11.70\00:26:13.90
God will show us what to do.
00:26:13.94\00:26:16.10
He gave London to you one night
00:26:16.14\00:26:19.54
as something that He
just planted in your spirit.
00:26:19.57\00:26:22.41
We went over
with one thing in mind
00:26:22.44\00:26:25.78
and the Lord is
sort of rearranged
00:26:25.81\00:26:28.72
it just a little bit.
00:26:28.75\00:26:30.09
But it's exciting to
see the hand of God move
00:26:30.12\00:26:33.05
and the ark of God,
to see what God is doing.
00:26:33.09\00:26:37.23
We went over to
London, and I think we can all,
00:26:37.26\00:26:40.03
we were at four
different churches.
00:26:40.06\00:26:41.40
I was in Balum,
you were in Hampstead,
00:26:41.43\00:26:43.23
Kenny was in
Central, and you got Croydon.
00:26:43.26\00:26:46.27
And I think, you know,
00:26:46.30\00:26:47.87
we can all say to a
man that the enthusiasm,
00:26:47.90\00:26:51.87
one for evangelism is
strong among the people.
00:26:51.91\00:26:54.54
And secondly, the love of
00:26:54.58\00:26:56.01
and support of 3ABN
broadcasting network
00:26:56.04\00:26:58.48
is equally strong.
00:26:58.51\00:27:00.35
When my pastor
got up in the morning
00:27:00.38\00:27:02.75
and I said someone
from 3ABN was there,
00:27:02.78\00:27:04.82
there was this cheer.
00:27:04.85\00:27:06.19
And we have enough
sense of enough humility
00:27:06.22\00:27:07.72
not to take that personally.
00:27:07.76\00:27:09.19
Not to say that's for us
because it's about Jesus,
00:27:09.22\00:27:11.96
and it's about
what this ministry
00:27:11.99\00:27:13.36
is doing to touch lives.
00:27:13.40\00:27:14.73
And people are excited,
00:27:14.76\00:27:16.10
when you touch them
00:27:16.13\00:27:17.47
and when you do
something for them
00:27:17.50\00:27:18.83
with them, to them,
through them, they're excited.
00:27:18.87\00:27:20.20
So that's what
that was all about.
00:27:20.24\00:27:21.57
It's not any kind of
personal thing for us.
00:27:21.60\00:27:22.94
We saw that 3ABN
is making inroads
00:27:22.97\00:27:26.27
among the members in London.
00:27:26.31\00:27:28.08
Absolutely. And
they have evangelism.
00:27:28.11\00:27:30.45
Can you all say yes to that?
00:27:30.48\00:27:31.81
Yeah, absolutely.
00:27:31.85\00:27:33.18
And you mentioned
something about a slight change.
00:27:33.21\00:27:35.32
What is exciting
still about that is
00:27:35.35\00:27:38.29
the Lord never alters
anything to make it worse.
00:27:38.32\00:27:41.56
Okay. That's true.
00:27:41.59\00:27:42.92
All right. Well said.
00:27:42.96\00:27:44.29
'Cause Lord never alters
anything to make it worse.
00:27:44.33\00:27:46.46
Yeah.
00:27:46.49\00:27:47.83
Because He
doesn't see as we see,
00:27:47.86\00:27:50.07
we pray for the
Lord's will to be done,
00:27:50.10\00:27:53.37
and in spite of
us His will is done.
00:27:53.40\00:27:55.44
Yes.
00:27:55.47\00:27:56.81
So what's coming down
the road for evangelism,
00:27:56.84\00:28:00.88
it's a humbling thing
when I think of that title
00:28:00.91\00:28:03.08
that has been bestowed
upon me, I thought, okay,
00:28:03.11\00:28:06.45
you've heard the straw
that breaks the camel's back.
00:28:06.48\00:28:09.62
This is--
00:28:09.65\00:28:10.99
it's not a straw
though, it's a, it's a joy
00:28:11.02\00:28:13.09
because I said, to
Danny and even before this,
00:28:13.12\00:28:15.32
I said to Danny, I've
been here for since 2003
00:28:15.36\00:28:19.26
and evangelism is the heartbeat
00:28:19.29\00:28:20.96
that I want to bring
to not only the world
00:28:21.00\00:28:23.16
but to this local
community, this local community.
00:28:23.20\00:28:26.00
'Cause you know sometimes
00:28:26.03\00:28:27.37
you could go so
far to collect a grape
00:28:27.40\00:28:29.34
when the ones that are
right here are rotting.
00:28:29.37\00:28:31.01
Yeah. Yes.
00:28:31.04\00:28:32.37
So we were
talking about the director
00:28:32.41\00:28:33.94
of world evangelism
including Thompsonville,
00:28:33.98\00:28:36.75
West Frankfurt,
Marion, Mount Vernon,
00:28:36.78\00:28:40.18
Illinois
Conference and all that.
00:28:40.22\00:28:42.08
But so in the
slight change God says,
00:28:42.12\00:28:47.02
the glory shall not be
less in than the former.
00:28:47.06\00:28:52.29
How am I saying that?
00:28:52.33\00:28:53.66
Let me, I am going
to find the scripture
00:28:53.70\00:28:55.03
and actually, the
glory of the latter
00:28:55.06\00:28:57.10
shall not be less than
the glory of the former.
00:28:57.13\00:28:58.63
That's it.
00:28:58.67\00:29:00.00
So God is working out things,
00:29:00.04\00:29:01.37
you know, according to His plan.
00:29:01.40\00:29:02.94
As Ellen White says,
00:29:02.97\00:29:04.31
Testimonies to
Ministers, page 500,
00:29:04.34\00:29:06.27
"He'll take the
reins into His own hands
00:29:06.31\00:29:08.11
and work completely
contrary to any human planning."
00:29:08.14\00:29:11.15
And we see God doing that.
00:29:11.18\00:29:12.55
We just simply say, "Lord,
make us willing to be willing."
00:29:12.58\00:29:14.98
Now, Danny,
00:29:15.02\00:29:16.35
we got some pictures
of the Sunday meeting,
00:29:16.38\00:29:17.72
I want to talk
about that in a moment,
00:29:17.75\00:29:19.09
but, all right,
00:29:19.12\00:29:20.46
Sabbath morning we
disperse to various churches.
00:29:20.49\00:29:22.26
Sabbath afternoon
we come to Brixton,
00:29:22.29\00:29:24.39
the sort of mother church,
it's one of the oldest ones.
00:29:24.43\00:29:27.60
And I think you'll agree,
since we were all on stage,
00:29:27.63\00:29:30.23
we didn't get a
chance to take many pictures
00:29:30.27\00:29:31.73
because we were
you know, ministering
00:29:31.77\00:29:34.00
but you could
not put another body
00:29:34.04\00:29:36.24
in the Brixton Church.
00:29:36.27\00:29:37.74
That's a big church. Yeah.
00:29:37.77\00:29:39.11
And it's a good size church
00:29:39.14\00:29:40.48
but people were along the walls,
00:29:40.51\00:29:41.84
along the back,
the seats were full.
00:29:41.88\00:29:44.25
We get back to the hotel,
00:29:44.28\00:29:45.61
we go out and
had something to eat.
00:29:45.65\00:29:46.98
And of course, you and I were
just happen to be in a lobby
00:29:47.02\00:29:49.95
and we sat down, it's
midnight, we're talking
00:29:49.98\00:29:52.12
because we can't sleep.
00:29:52.15\00:29:53.82
And then two were saying,
00:29:53.86\00:29:55.19
"Lord, what do
you want us to do?"
00:29:55.22\00:29:56.56
You know there
are so many options,
00:29:56.59\00:29:57.93
so many directions,
00:29:57.96\00:29:59.63
and so we're
just, we're talking.
00:29:59.66\00:30:01.10
My wife's there,
Yvonne was there,
00:30:01.13\00:30:02.46
and we're kind of
just putting beans in a pot
00:30:02.50\00:30:04.43
and trying to come
up with some answer
00:30:04.47\00:30:05.80
and say, "Lord, what do we do?
00:30:05.83\00:30:07.17
What do we do?
00:30:07.20\00:30:08.54
What do we do?"
00:30:08.57\00:30:09.90
And I think Sunday,
00:30:09.94\00:30:11.27
the light kind of came on.
00:30:11.31\00:30:12.64
You know, things kind
of changed a little bit.
00:30:12.67\00:30:14.61
First of all, I've
got to commend my pastor
00:30:14.64\00:30:17.11
who preached under the anointing
00:30:17.15\00:30:18.75
of the Holy Spirit.
00:30:18.78\00:30:20.12
All right. Powerful message.
00:30:20.15\00:30:21.48
Good message.
00:30:21.52\00:30:22.85
Powerful message,
preached the word.
00:30:22.88\00:30:24.22
I mean, well done.
00:30:24.25\00:30:25.59
And it, this is
meeting they have every year.
00:30:25.62\00:30:27.82
And where at?
00:30:27.86\00:30:29.19
This is at the Newbold College.
00:30:29.22\00:30:30.56
In fact, let's go to
our pictures just now
00:30:30.59\00:30:32.26
and we'll kind of
walk just, walk there.
00:30:32.29\00:30:33.86
There's the
Newbold College sign.
00:30:33.90\00:30:37.33
Hour and a half maybe
out of central London.
00:30:37.37\00:30:40.10
So we had to
drive a little ways.
00:30:40.14\00:30:42.24
And let's go to
the next picture.
00:30:42.27\00:30:44.37
And let we'll just rewind some.
00:30:44.41\00:30:45.74
That's, there's two
pictures of the crowd,
00:30:45.77\00:30:47.51
that's the crowd from this side,
00:30:47.54\00:30:49.21
then the next picture
00:30:49.24\00:30:50.58
is the crowd
from the other side.
00:30:50.61\00:30:53.62
And the third picture is
the crowd from the middle.
00:30:53.65\00:30:57.19
You know, this was,
from what they said,
00:30:57.22\00:31:00.56
maybe twice as
big as it usually is.
00:31:00.59\00:31:02.36
And it's something
they have over here.
00:31:02.39\00:31:03.73
And they have
another room somewhere...
00:31:03.76\00:31:05.09
Overflow.
00:31:05.13\00:31:06.46
Overflow rooms also...
00:31:06.49\00:31:07.83
And they had a fire,
00:31:07.86\00:31:09.20
they had a security
warning announcement.
00:31:09.23\00:31:11.83
They said, please, we cannot,
00:31:11.87\00:31:13.30
we are in violation
00:31:13.34\00:31:15.84
of the fire code
already, please...
00:31:15.87\00:31:17.74
And this was
early in the morning.
00:31:17.77\00:31:19.11
This is in the morning.
00:31:19.14\00:31:20.48
Yeah, you haven't
even done your worship yet,
00:31:20.51\00:31:21.84
and they're
saying, please people,
00:31:21.88\00:31:23.21
we got too many people in here,
00:31:23.24\00:31:24.58
you got to sit down,
you can't line the walls.
00:31:24.61\00:31:25.95
But it was barely
across the campus,
00:31:25.98\00:31:27.78
look at close circuit.
00:31:27.82\00:31:29.62
Well, it was, praise the
Lord. So there was enthusiasm.
00:31:29.65\00:31:32.09
This is, this was lay
members, elders of the church,
00:31:32.12\00:31:35.79
church leaders, and pastors,
00:31:35.82\00:31:37.66
along with
conference individuals.
00:31:37.69\00:31:39.03
So there's this
energy, they want to do,
00:31:39.06\00:31:41.73
and they want 3ABN stuff.
00:31:41.76\00:31:43.10
Now, the next picture
is a picture of our pastor
00:31:43.13\00:31:46.00
and somebody is excited there.
00:31:46.03\00:31:47.37
Yeah, somebody.
00:31:47.40\00:31:48.77
He must have
said something good.
00:31:48.80\00:31:50.14
It was a two hander back there.
00:31:50.17\00:31:51.77
You know, one thing
was that in that meeting
00:31:51.81\00:31:54.38
was so exciting,
00:31:54.41\00:31:55.74
it's not like being
00:31:55.78\00:31:57.15
in a regular
church meeting as it were.
00:31:57.18\00:31:58.55
Yes.
00:31:58.58\00:31:59.91
People were getting excited
about the front row seats.
00:31:59.95\00:32:05.09
No one came in the back.
00:32:05.12\00:32:07.22
When they came in, they
were going for the front seats.
00:32:07.26\00:32:11.26
They were all filled up first
and then it were backwards.
00:32:11.29\00:32:15.20
You know,
Pastor Kenny, as pastor
00:32:15.23\00:32:17.00
and people who are
used to speaking for people,
00:32:17.03\00:32:21.07
that is an indication.
00:32:21.10\00:32:22.44
Come on.
00:32:22.47\00:32:23.81
John, you know this,
of the energy in the room.
00:32:23.84\00:32:25.91
When a brethren
works from front to back,
00:32:25.94\00:32:27.84
and not back to
front, something's going on.
00:32:27.88\00:32:30.58
That's right.
Something's going on.
00:32:30.61\00:32:32.75
Pastor, give us just a dodge,
00:32:32.78\00:32:34.12
just a broad brush
stroke of what you had to say,
00:32:34.15\00:32:37.39
and what you were
trying to say that morning.
00:32:37.42\00:32:38.75
Well, I pointed out
in the Book of Acts,
00:32:38.79\00:32:41.02
the Bible says in Acts 4:12
00:32:41.06\00:32:43.32
that they spoke the
word of God with boldness.
00:32:43.36\00:32:46.49
And when I read
that, I said, well,
00:32:46.53\00:32:48.43
where else in Acts does it
talk about the word of God.
00:32:48.46\00:32:50.47
Twelve times in the Book of Acts
00:32:50.50\00:32:52.37
where it talks about the success
00:32:52.40\00:32:53.74
of the New Testament Church,
00:32:53.77\00:32:55.10
it always connects it
to preaching the word.
00:32:55.14\00:32:57.44
And I said if the
preaching of the word
00:32:57.47\00:32:58.84
was needed at the
inauguration of the church,
00:32:58.87\00:33:01.41
how much more is it needed
00:33:01.44\00:33:02.81
at the coronation of the church.
00:33:02.84\00:33:04.75
If it was needed to
get the church started,
00:33:04.78\00:33:06.88
it's going to be
needed to get the church,
00:33:06.92\00:33:08.58
the work finished.
00:33:08.62\00:33:10.09
And so the thing that
Satan attacked in the garden
00:33:10.12\00:33:12.62
was the word of God.
00:33:12.65\00:33:14.09
The thing he came
to Jesus with that
00:33:14.12\00:33:15.92
he distorted
was the word of God.
00:33:15.96\00:33:17.79
The thing that Jesus overcame
00:33:17.83\00:33:19.16
the devil with
was the word of God.
00:33:19.19\00:33:20.76
And the very thing
that He's been fighting
00:33:20.80\00:33:22.23
through all these centuries
00:33:22.26\00:33:23.77
that's diluted among so
much of Christian of today
00:33:23.80\00:33:26.40
is the word of God.
00:33:26.43\00:33:27.77
No wonder when Jesus comes back,
00:33:27.80\00:33:30.27
He's going to have
written on his thigh,
00:33:30.31\00:33:32.27
the phrase, the word of God.
00:33:32.31\00:33:34.68
And so I said, if
the church need it
00:33:34.71\00:33:36.04
to get the work started,
00:33:36.08\00:33:37.78
it's going to need it
to get the work finish.
00:33:37.81\00:33:39.45
And so I said, I
speak about nothing
00:33:39.48\00:33:40.92
other than the word of God.
00:33:40.95\00:33:42.28
And so I'll share
that's a little cue
00:33:42.32\00:33:43.65
in just a moment.
00:33:43.69\00:33:45.02
But you know,
praise God, the word is,
00:33:45.05\00:33:46.72
if the church need it
to get the fire going,
00:33:46.76\00:33:49.76
it's going to need
it to finish the work.
00:33:49.79\00:33:51.79
And that's the only
thing that Satan is upset with.
00:33:51.83\00:33:54.76
By the way, in the
armor of the Christian,
00:33:54.80\00:33:57.60
it's the only offensive weapon.
00:33:57.63\00:33:58.97
Precisely.
00:33:59.00\00:34:00.34
Everything else is to
stop the blows, the helmets,
00:34:00.37\00:34:01.70
stop the hits,
the shield of faith,
00:34:01.74\00:34:04.21
the breastplate
of righteousness,
00:34:04.24\00:34:05.87
you know, feet
shot with the gospel.
00:34:05.91\00:34:07.38
But the only thing that
is going to do some harm
00:34:07.41\00:34:09.84
is the sword of the spirit,
00:34:09.88\00:34:11.21
sharper than any two edge sword.
00:34:11.25\00:34:12.58
So cut it, use
it to cut up error,
00:34:12.61\00:34:15.35
use it to cut up darkness,
00:34:15.38\00:34:16.99
use it to
separate people from death
00:34:17.02\00:34:18.89
and bring them to life,
00:34:18.92\00:34:20.26
but never use it to
wound another individual.
00:34:20.29\00:34:21.86
Amen.
00:34:21.89\00:34:23.22
So I said, don't
let your life burn,
00:34:23.26\00:34:25.09
let your light
shine to the glory of God.
00:34:25.13\00:34:26.90
And the fog that we
were in Saturday night,
00:34:26.93\00:34:29.26
I use that term because
we didn't know what to do,
00:34:29.30\00:34:30.97
clear away
because when you stood up,
00:34:31.00\00:34:32.83
I saw in your eyes and
heard from your mouth that.
00:34:32.87\00:34:35.07
So Danny is on this thing.
00:34:35.10\00:34:36.71
And you were
talking to the audience
00:34:36.74\00:34:38.81
who was with you
that we could see now
00:34:38.84\00:34:41.71
where God was beginning to move.
00:34:41.74\00:34:43.08
And so that Sunday
meeting with a fabulous meeting.
00:34:43.11\00:34:46.08
And the spirit of God
was there. Next picture.
00:34:46.11\00:34:48.05
I think we still
got a couple more.
00:34:48.08\00:34:49.42
And of course, as
the president stood up,
00:34:49.45\00:34:51.25
he kind of co sign
what we were saying.
00:34:51.29\00:34:52.62
This is.
00:34:52.65\00:34:53.99
Dr. Richard de
Lisser and nice fellow.
00:34:54.02\00:34:57.06
And you and he were
talking and communicating
00:34:57.09\00:34:59.89
and things are
going really quite well.
00:34:59.93\00:35:03.60
I think there's a couple more.
00:35:03.63\00:35:05.83
This is exciting.
00:35:05.87\00:35:07.24
This is Cecilia Duncan.
00:35:07.27\00:35:10.71
She brought with her, her
Go Evangelism certificate.
00:35:10.74\00:35:13.91
Yeah.
00:35:13.94\00:35:15.68
That's her certificate there.
She was really, really happy.
00:35:15.71\00:35:18.51
There were many others
who have their certificate,
00:35:18.55\00:35:20.65
who are members of the team.
00:35:20.68\00:35:22.05
But she brought hers with her
because she wanted you to know,
00:35:22.08\00:35:24.52
I'm part of the team.
00:35:24.55\00:35:25.89
Absolutely.
00:35:25.92\00:35:27.26
And so she's part
of the evangelism team
00:35:27.29\00:35:28.62
and she brought it.
00:35:28.66\00:35:29.99
And so we take a
picture. I met her too.
00:35:30.03\00:35:31.36
I said, she said,
"Danny signed it."
00:35:31.39\00:35:32.73
I said, but he's here, go
get the original signature.
00:35:32.76\00:35:34.86
I mean, he signed it by hand.
00:35:34.90\00:35:36.56
I don't know how, you
did that, that was, you know,
00:35:36.60\00:35:39.33
somebody may not have heard that
00:35:39.37\00:35:40.70
but every one of
these certificates
00:35:40.74\00:35:42.07
were hand southern.
00:35:42.10\00:35:43.44
Yeah, they are not stamp.
00:35:43.47\00:35:44.81
I read everyone,
I pray over everyone
00:35:44.84\00:35:46.17
and then sign them myself
00:35:46.21\00:35:47.71
because I wanted to keep
up to see how many coming in.
00:35:47.74\00:35:51.11
We got a couple more.
00:35:51.15\00:35:53.01
This is a fellow,
this is Neville Kelly.
00:35:53.05\00:35:57.32
He actually sold a
piece of property in Florida
00:35:57.35\00:36:01.12
to get to 3ABN.
00:36:01.16\00:36:02.49
And what's
interesting because he told me,
00:36:02.52\00:36:03.86
he said, this is
my vacation property.
00:36:03.89\00:36:05.26
He said, we kind of want to
get out of London in the winter
00:36:05.29\00:36:08.73
and go down to Florida.
00:36:08.76\00:36:10.13
So I was just
impressed to do it,
00:36:10.17\00:36:11.83
and I made call to 3ABN.
00:36:11.87\00:36:13.20
His story is kind of funny
00:36:13.23\00:36:14.57
because he didn't tell his wife.
00:36:14.60\00:36:15.94
Yeah.
00:36:15.97\00:36:17.31
And when you going to kind
of release a piece of property,
00:36:17.34\00:36:18.67
it's your vacation property,
00:36:18.71\00:36:20.04
you need to get
your wife on board.
00:36:20.08\00:36:21.41
And, so she was a
little irritated as I recall,
00:36:21.44\00:36:24.05
but the spirit hit her
too and she said, you know,
00:36:24.08\00:36:25.88
what if God is telling
you to sell it, sell it.
00:36:25.91\00:36:28.52
So he either is in the process
of doing it or has done it
00:36:28.55\00:36:32.02
but they're going to spend
their winters in cold London,
00:36:32.05\00:36:35.62
sacrifice...
00:36:35.66\00:36:36.99
And what was unusual, he was
praying about what to do and...
00:36:37.03\00:36:40.00
Oh, yes, yeah,
great story. Yeah.
00:36:40.03\00:36:42.13
You can tell it
because you're a part of it.
00:36:42.16\00:36:43.60
Well, he said he was praying
to what to do with his property
00:36:43.63\00:36:47.64
but he needed some encouragement
00:36:47.67\00:36:49.27
or something, he said.
00:36:49.30\00:36:50.84
And basically if Danny
would call me, he said to me,
00:36:50.87\00:36:54.41
if Danny would call me.
00:36:54.44\00:36:55.78
And he said right
after that I called him,
00:36:55.81\00:36:57.18
right after he prayed.
00:36:57.21\00:36:58.55
I don't call that many people.
00:36:58.58\00:36:59.91
So I'm not sure what
prompted, it it's been a while,
00:36:59.95\00:37:02.35
to call maybe he'd ask questions
00:37:02.38\00:37:04.32
and I felt like I
needed to call him.
00:37:04.35\00:37:06.29
But the timing
was for him right.
00:37:06.32\00:37:08.82
And he said, okay,
00:37:08.86\00:37:10.19
this is what I'm supposed
to do with this property.
00:37:10.23\00:37:12.06
So that has pretty
neat, how that God,
00:37:12.09\00:37:14.46
when you ask for
something whether it's a sign,
00:37:14.50\00:37:16.70
whether it be me,
you, or somebody else,
00:37:16.73\00:37:18.73
the Lord sometimes
will give us what we need.
00:37:18.77\00:37:20.70
And that's interesting,
that's the specific fleece.
00:37:20.74\00:37:22.40
I didn't want Mollie Steenson
to call, I don't want Brian,
00:37:22.44\00:37:24.31
I don't want
Danny Shelton to call.
00:37:24.34\00:37:26.17
Sit down, wait a few
minutes, bang, you call.
00:37:26.21\00:37:29.11
I find people are responding,
00:37:29.14\00:37:31.41
they're responding to the
call of God in their lives,
00:37:31.45\00:37:35.15
just like you talk
about giving, Brother Danny,
00:37:35.18\00:37:37.52
he's talking about giving.
00:37:37.55\00:37:38.99
You have people that will
call and they'll, you know,
00:37:39.02\00:37:40.72
they will say something like,
00:37:40.76\00:37:42.39
"The Lord impressed me to
do something several weeks ago
00:37:42.42\00:37:45.89
and I didn't do it."
00:37:45.93\00:37:47.53
But not another day, man said,
00:37:47.56\00:37:49.53
you know, not another
day is going to pass by
00:37:49.56\00:37:51.43
until I do exactly
what God said to do.
00:37:51.47\00:37:54.64
He said give to get this gospel
preached unto all the world.
00:37:54.67\00:37:57.07
Good.
00:37:57.11\00:37:58.44
My wife is not here to say
whether I should or I shouldn't,
00:37:58.47\00:38:01.31
I'm doing it anyway
because God said to do it.
00:38:01.34\00:38:03.18
Amen.
00:38:03.21\00:38:04.55
This is a tract,
00:38:04.58\00:38:06.72
the walk that people
are taking right now.
00:38:06.75\00:38:08.78
Yes.
00:38:08.82\00:38:10.15
When we were there
00:38:10.19\00:38:11.52
at the Central
Church there in London,
00:38:11.55\00:38:14.89
you know,
everybody had their church.
00:38:14.92\00:38:16.39
And I just thought about this
00:38:16.42\00:38:17.76
because this is what
you've been talking about.
00:38:17.79\00:38:19.79
The presence of 3ABN
was an awesome thing,
00:38:19.83\00:38:25.90
people were
hungering and thirsting.
00:38:25.93\00:38:28.30
They were being fed from 3ABN.
00:38:28.34\00:38:30.81
They want more of that in their,
00:38:30.84\00:38:32.97
their church are
wanting more truth spoken.
00:38:33.01\00:38:36.01
And what, not 20
minutes into the sermons,
00:38:36.04\00:38:39.25
like the Lord said,
00:38:39.28\00:38:40.62
just close it up
and do something else.
00:38:40.65\00:38:42.45
And so through it
all, there was just a call
00:38:42.48\00:38:45.29
that was made
and confessing of sin
00:38:45.32\00:38:47.32
and people wanted
to change their heart
00:38:47.36\00:38:49.06
and their life with tears.
00:38:49.09\00:38:51.13
In fact the whole church
00:38:51.16\00:38:53.03
was there in
the aisles, you see.
00:38:53.06\00:38:55.26
But they came hungry, Danny,
they've been watching 3ABN,
00:38:55.30\00:38:59.30
hands went up and said,
we want to be On The Go,
00:38:59.33\00:39:01.70
we want to do something.
00:39:01.74\00:39:03.07
Their heart was ready
00:39:03.10\00:39:04.44
when they heard
the call to respond.
00:39:04.47\00:39:06.61
This is the key, they respond.
00:39:06.64\00:39:09.54
You said, first,
there will be willing heart,
00:39:09.58\00:39:11.08
Pastor, little while back.
00:39:11.11\00:39:12.45
They were willing,
00:39:12.48\00:39:13.82
they were looking
for someone to lead them
00:39:13.85\00:39:15.25
to do something
right then and right there,
00:39:15.28\00:39:17.32
and the first thing
is confession of sin,
00:39:17.35\00:39:19.52
getting the heart
right, ready to work for God
00:39:19.55\00:39:22.62
when He opens the door for
do more work there in London.
00:39:22.66\00:39:25.43
So I was really
excited. And what a day.
00:39:25.46\00:39:27.50
I know... I'm sorry, John.
00:39:27.53\00:39:28.86
The power
continued all day. Amen.
00:39:28.90\00:39:30.60
Because on Saturday
evening, after a full day...
00:39:30.63\00:39:34.64
Go on.
00:39:34.67\00:39:36.00
You stayed up, I stayed up
because I said, this is London,
00:39:36.04\00:39:39.87
I could come and just
share principles of evangelism
00:39:39.91\00:39:42.54
but let me find out
00:39:42.58\00:39:43.91
what's happening here in London.
00:39:43.95\00:39:45.41
And by God's grace,
00:39:45.45\00:39:46.78
He led me to a Barna Research
00:39:46.82\00:39:48.88
about the
diversities of the groups
00:39:48.92\00:39:50.95
that London has to deal with,
00:39:50.99\00:39:52.99
the different ethnic groups,
the different socio-ethnic,
00:39:53.02\00:39:55.72
socio-economical groups.
00:39:55.76\00:39:58.43
People that are, I mean,
00:39:58.46\00:39:59.79
the challenges that
are happening as of 2015.
00:39:59.83\00:40:03.06
And I shared with them,
00:40:03.10\00:40:04.43
and I went to the
back of one of the pastors
00:40:04.47\00:40:05.80
and he said,
"Praise God for this.
00:40:05.83\00:40:08.20
You know, you've done something
00:40:08.24\00:40:09.57
that nobody
else has done for us.
00:40:09.60\00:40:11.27
You've come to London
to talk to us about London.
00:40:11.31\00:40:14.24
You didn't come to
us to talk to us about.
00:40:14.28\00:40:16.04
New York or talk to
us about Thompsonville,
00:40:16.08\00:40:18.58
you told us what's actually
happening in our own backyard."
00:40:18.61\00:40:21.58
And then Pastor
CA came afterwards
00:40:21.62\00:40:24.29
and lit the place up.
00:40:24.32\00:40:26.12
You kind of told
three phrases at there,
00:40:26.15\00:40:28.06
that story at the
end about the goat.
00:40:28.09\00:40:29.49
Come on, just
give me a tidbit of it.
00:40:29.52\00:40:31.59
And this is powerful
00:40:31.63\00:40:33.90
because sometimes you
might be in a position
00:40:33.93\00:40:37.13
where people want to
just throw dirt on you
00:40:37.17\00:40:40.00
when you're trying to
do something of God's work.
00:40:40.04\00:40:41.67
I'm gonna set up that way.
00:40:41.70\00:40:43.07
Tell the, please tell the story.
00:40:43.10\00:40:44.57
Sometimes people
want to throw dirt on you
00:40:44.61\00:40:46.47
because you might be in the
way of doing the Lord's will.
00:40:46.51\00:40:50.08
And what did you
say? I have it on video.
00:40:50.11\00:40:51.88
By the way, we'll show
you one behind the scenes.
00:40:51.91\00:40:54.58
Well, John gave a powerful,
pragmatic presentation of
00:40:54.62\00:40:59.02
this is what we face,
these are the kinds of things.
00:40:59.05\00:41:01.76
And we're very much
appreciative of that.
00:41:01.79\00:41:05.16
But I said, one of
the things we can do,
00:41:05.19\00:41:07.93
deeds of kindness tear
down walls of separation
00:41:07.96\00:41:11.30
and build bridges to salvation.
00:41:11.33\00:41:12.73
Particularly when
you're dealing with
00:41:12.77\00:41:14.20
a post Christian mindset,
00:41:14.24\00:41:16.54
deeds of kindness
will begin to open up doors
00:41:16.57\00:41:19.84
that a straight doctrinal
presentation will not do.
00:41:19.87\00:41:22.71
And of course, we've
all seen that quotation
00:41:22.74\00:41:24.85
from Ministers of
Healing, pages 143-147,
00:41:24.88\00:41:27.55
Christ never alone
will have true success
00:41:27.58\00:41:29.62
working with the people,
He minister to their needs,
00:41:29.65\00:41:31.82
then they can follow me.
00:41:31.85\00:41:33.36
Many times you want to
start with the 'follow me'
00:41:33.39\00:41:35.19
and forget about the needs.
00:41:35.22\00:41:36.56
So I'm saying deeds of kindness
00:41:36.59\00:41:38.59
will break down
those walls of separation
00:41:38.63\00:41:40.50
and build bridges of salvation,
00:41:40.53\00:41:42.10
which turns
evangelism from an event,
00:41:42.13\00:41:44.87
like calling in a
preacher to a process.
00:41:44.90\00:41:47.17
Perpetual way.
00:41:47.20\00:41:48.54
So it's working all the time
because the truth is, Danny,
00:41:48.57\00:41:50.61
Kenny, and John, that when
we call an evangelist meeting,
00:41:50.64\00:41:54.74
we say, go, get your friends.
00:41:54.78\00:41:56.11
Well, the longer
you've been an Adventists,
00:41:56.14\00:41:58.21
your friends are sitting in
pew next to you every Sabbath.
00:41:58.25\00:42:01.12
Those are your friends
00:42:01.15\00:42:02.48
because you
haven't really spread out.
00:42:02.52\00:42:04.19
But deeds of kindness will
tear down walls of separation
00:42:04.22\00:42:07.89
and build bridges to salvation.
00:42:07.92\00:42:09.56
And so we gave a
number of examples
00:42:09.59\00:42:11.39
of how you can do that.
00:42:11.43\00:42:12.76
It's cheap, it
doesn't cost a lot of money.
00:42:12.79\00:42:15.06
It only cost a
smile and a loving hand.
00:42:15.10\00:42:17.63
And anybody can do it.
00:42:17.67\00:42:19.07
Yes. Anybody can do it.
00:42:19.10\00:42:20.47
So these are kind
of tear down walls.
00:42:20.50\00:42:22.00
I talked about a
fellow who had a pet goat,
00:42:22.04\00:42:24.24
who fell down a well
00:42:24.27\00:42:26.74
and he thought
the goat was dead.
00:42:26.78\00:42:28.11
And so he began
to bury the goat,
00:42:28.51\00:42:30.55
is going to be it's tomb
but the goat wasn't dead,
00:42:30.58\00:42:32.38
he was just stung by that fall.
00:42:32.41\00:42:33.92
So when the first
shovel of dirt hit him,
00:42:33.95\00:42:35.88
he stood up and
revive, began to call up
00:42:35.92\00:42:37.59
but the man could not hear.
00:42:37.62\00:42:38.95
Because the tractor was so loud.
00:42:38.99\00:42:40.32
Because the tractor was so loud.
00:42:40.36\00:42:41.69
But it was a wise goat.
00:42:41.72\00:42:43.06
So every time a
shovel of dirt hit him,
00:42:43.09\00:42:44.43
he would shake it
off, pack it down,
00:42:44.46\00:42:46.09
and he rise up a
little higher, you know.
00:42:46.13\00:42:48.13
So every shovel he shake it off,
00:42:48.16\00:42:49.83
pack it down, and
rise up a little higher.
00:42:49.86\00:42:51.23
And he was able to escape.
00:42:51.27\00:42:52.60
Yeah.
00:42:52.63\00:42:53.97
So I told them that when
you try to serve the Lord,
00:42:54.00\00:42:56.04
and you know this,
00:42:56.07\00:42:57.41
when you try to
do anything to Lord,
00:42:57.44\00:42:58.77
there are going to be those
00:42:58.81\00:43:00.14
who want to throw
dirt on your aspiration.
00:43:00.18\00:43:01.51
They're going to
say, you're too old,
00:43:01.54\00:43:03.21
too young, too black, too white,
00:43:03.24\00:43:04.58
too rich, too poor, whatever.
00:43:04.61\00:43:05.95
Yeah. Right.
00:43:05.98\00:43:07.32
So why should you exist
00:43:07.35\00:43:08.85
under the weight of
their disillusion...
00:43:08.88\00:43:11.09
Don't let them
bury you under it.
00:43:11.12\00:43:12.45
Don't let them bury
you under that dirt.
00:43:12.49\00:43:13.82
That's right.
00:43:13.86\00:43:15.19
So when someone tells
you, you can't make it,
00:43:15.22\00:43:17.83
why would you sit
there and take it.
00:43:17.86\00:43:19.63
That's right.
00:43:19.66\00:43:21.00
You just got to
stand up and shake it.
00:43:21.03\00:43:22.36
That's right.
00:43:22.40\00:43:23.73
So I said, okay, now I know
you are straight proper Brits,
00:43:23.77\00:43:25.67
but we're gonna
shake it this afternoon.
00:43:25.70\00:43:27.04
So I made them all
get out of their seats,
00:43:27.07\00:43:28.57
let everybody stand up.
00:43:28.60\00:43:29.94
I said, okay, the
next time they tell you,
00:43:29.97\00:43:31.87
you can't make it,
00:43:31.91\00:43:33.24
are we just going to
sit there and take it?
00:43:33.27\00:43:34.88
No, we're going to shake it.
00:43:34.91\00:43:37.15
So they shook it
all, and packed it down,
00:43:37.18\00:43:39.48
and they had a
good time with that.
00:43:39.51\00:43:40.85
So between the two of us, I
think we got them stirred up
00:43:40.88\00:43:43.99
because they
wanted to be stirred up.
00:43:44.02\00:43:45.35
They came,
encouraged to be stirred up.
00:43:45.39\00:43:48.06
Yeah, in evangelism.
00:43:48.09\00:43:49.42
And the beauty of that,
in my devotion this morning,
00:43:49.46\00:43:51.93
even as early as I
got up with this lag,
00:43:51.96\00:43:54.36
read the devotion this morning,
00:43:54.40\00:43:55.73
which was just
inspirational to me.
00:43:55.76\00:43:57.33
Mercy.
00:43:57.37\00:43:58.70
And I'm going to just give
you a tidbit into the message
00:43:58.73\00:44:00.07
on this Sabbath.
00:44:00.10\00:44:01.44
It's going to be a short one
00:44:01.47\00:44:02.80
because we have a
wonderful service of,
00:44:02.84\00:44:04.17
you know, we'll talk
about that in the second half
00:44:04.21\00:44:05.54
eulogizing somebody
very important to 3ABN.
00:44:05.57\00:44:08.38
But you've heard the
phrase, 'Many are called
00:44:08.41\00:44:11.58
but few are chosen.'
00:44:11.61\00:44:13.01
That has alluded
me for so many years.
00:44:13.05\00:44:15.42
I like to deal with
those difficult topics,
00:44:15.45\00:44:17.09
'Many are called
but few are chosen.'
00:44:17.12\00:44:18.95
And it led me to
Isaiah 8:6 where the Lord,
00:44:18.99\00:44:23.56
where the Godhead was
speaking amongst themselves,
00:44:23.59\00:44:27.80
who will go for us
and whom shall I send.
00:44:27.83\00:44:31.90
In Isaiah, that was
not directed to Isaiah.
00:44:31.93\00:44:35.10
Isaiah, and he was
so connected to God,
00:44:35.14\00:44:39.54
he overheard a
divine conversation
00:44:39.57\00:44:42.51
and he responded,
he said, "I will go.
00:44:42.54\00:44:45.25
Here I am, send me." Amen.
00:44:45.28\00:44:47.32
He was not asked.
00:44:47.35\00:44:48.68
And so what
came out inspiration,
00:44:48.72\00:44:51.02
matter of fact, Oswald
Chambers brought this out
00:44:51.05\00:44:53.49
and then I went to
what Ellen White had to say,
00:44:53.52\00:44:55.22
and I looked at Bible
all the through and I said,
00:44:55.26\00:44:57.33
that's what we need to
know about here in Thompsonville
00:44:57.36\00:45:01.06
and in the world,
00:45:01.10\00:45:02.43
that the God in
heaven is saying,
00:45:02.46\00:45:06.03
"Who can we trust on in
the earth to go for us?"
00:45:06.07\00:45:08.90
Come on now.
00:45:08.94\00:45:10.27
"Who cares
about heaven's agenda?
00:45:10.31\00:45:13.38
Who has put heaven's
priority above their own?
00:45:13.41\00:45:16.41
Who cares about
souls more than us?
00:45:16.44\00:45:19.68
Is there anybody in
the earth listening to who,
00:45:19.71\00:45:22.08
who's going to
go, who can we send?"
00:45:22.12\00:45:24.05
And Isaiah was
so in tune with God,
00:45:24.09\00:45:26.09
he said, "I hear you,
Lord, here I am, send me."
00:45:26.12\00:45:30.46
And so God is
saying to those of us
00:45:30.49\00:45:32.03
who are a part
of 'Go evangelism,'
00:45:32.06\00:45:35.36
get initiative and
the Blessings On The Go.
00:45:35.40\00:45:38.73
Heaven, in these
closing hours are saying,
00:45:38.77\00:45:41.37
people are going
to Christless graves,
00:45:41.40\00:45:43.44
but we can't go,
who will go for us?
00:45:43.47\00:45:46.47
And we're saying, 3ABN,
here I am, Lord, send me.
00:45:46.51\00:45:50.18
So that's why I'm
so excited about this.
00:45:50.21\00:45:51.85
Whenever God send you,
00:45:51.88\00:45:53.48
you are
responding to heaven's agenda
00:45:53.52\00:45:55.98
and heaven's
initiative, and then He says,
00:45:56.02\00:45:59.15
the same applies to every
one of us, not just to Isaiah.
00:45:59.19\00:46:03.79
So how does many are
called but few are chosen goes?
00:46:03.83\00:46:07.00
Many are called,
who will go for us?
00:46:07.03\00:46:09.80
Who will go for us?
00:46:09.83\00:46:11.17
Isaiah chose to respond. Amen.
00:46:11.20\00:46:13.03
God didn't choose
him, he chose them.
00:46:13.07\00:46:14.94
It's powerful.
00:46:14.97\00:46:16.71
And it show, and
I am sorry, Danny.
00:46:16.74\00:46:18.07
Go ahead.
00:46:18.11\00:46:19.44
How anxious the Lord
is to use His people.
00:46:19.47\00:46:20.81
We set there Saturday night,
you, Yvonne, Erma, and myself.
00:46:20.84\00:46:24.41
John's up in his
room, same burden,
00:46:24.45\00:46:26.35
you know, same burden.
00:46:26.38\00:46:27.72
Asking the Lord, show
us what You want us to do.
00:46:27.75\00:46:30.85
That's right.
00:46:30.89\00:46:32.22
How do you want us
to attack this thing?
00:46:32.25\00:46:33.59
And we're willing to do it.
00:46:33.62\00:46:34.96
And as early as
the next morning,
00:46:34.99\00:46:36.49
God is already
answered that prayer.
00:46:36.52\00:46:38.46
Our prayers being
fulfilled. Absolutely.
00:46:38.49\00:46:39.96
What happened is
several months ago, you know,
00:46:40.00\00:46:42.66
when I was impressed,
I just woke up in London
00:46:42.70\00:46:45.13
and I said to CA, do
you know anybody in London?
00:46:45.17\00:46:49.10
We need to call
the church officials,
00:46:49.14\00:46:51.14
or conference and say, look,
00:46:51.17\00:46:52.67
3ABN's willing to come
00:46:52.71\00:46:54.04
if you want to hold some
huge evangelistic meetings.
00:46:54.08\00:46:57.31
Now here's my
thought, and we'll get,
00:46:57.35\00:47:00.22
how Lord doesn't
always do our thought.
00:47:00.25\00:47:02.18
He may give you a thought
00:47:02.22\00:47:03.55
but then you may
take that somewhere
00:47:03.59\00:47:06.22
that He didn't
really intend to do.
00:47:06.25\00:47:08.66
But my thought was,
00:47:08.69\00:47:10.03
let's go turn
London upside down.
00:47:10.06\00:47:11.79
We'll rent the hugest,
largest venue we can get,
00:47:11.83\00:47:14.80
let's bring in top
evangelist, you know,
00:47:14.83\00:47:17.37
that I can think of John Carter
for instance who's preached to
00:47:17.40\00:47:22.10
literally hundreds
of thousands of people.
00:47:22.14\00:47:24.37
Let's go in there
and let's you know,
00:47:24.41\00:47:26.78
advertise all over the
city, let's do these things.
00:47:26.81\00:47:29.71
So I'm ready to go.
00:47:29.74\00:47:31.08
Because those of you know,
I don't really let it rest.
00:47:31.11\00:47:33.98
Yeah, really and decided.
00:47:34.02\00:47:36.25
It doesn't do any good letting
grass grow under your feet.
00:47:36.28\00:47:38.85
And I feel like sometimes that
00:47:38.89\00:47:40.22
we spend too much time planning.
00:47:40.26\00:47:41.66
And so we used to have a
thing in the offices that says
00:47:41.69\00:47:44.93
'Committees keep time but,
keep minutes but lose time.'
00:47:44.96\00:47:47.93
And so usually if
something comes I like to try to
00:47:47.96\00:47:51.33
get to the law and
the testimony, you know.
00:47:51.37\00:47:53.13
So going to
London. This must be good.
00:47:53.17\00:47:55.94
At the General
Conference session we had,
00:47:55.97\00:47:58.14
they give a lot
of facts and figures
00:47:58.17\00:47:59.67
and one of those Europe
00:47:59.71\00:48:01.11
as one of the slowest growing
areas in our world church
00:48:01.14\00:48:04.55
to bring people into the
Seventh-day Adventist church.
00:48:04.58\00:48:08.08
So we called, CA got
hold of Dr. Richard de Lisser.
00:48:08.12\00:48:12.75
Actually Sam Davis,
was the last president
00:48:12.79\00:48:14.89
who was just going to leave...
00:48:14.92\00:48:16.26
Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah.
00:48:16.29\00:48:17.63
And then he puts us in touch
with the new president, right?
00:48:17.66\00:48:19.73
Correct.
00:48:19.76\00:48:21.10
And so the new
president said, you know what,
00:48:21.13\00:48:23.10
he's very supportive,
00:48:23.13\00:48:24.77
would love for
us to work together.
00:48:24.80\00:48:26.80
So the first time
just a few of us went,
00:48:26.84\00:48:28.90
we went over,
John and CA and myself,
00:48:28.94\00:48:31.77
we went over and met
with some of the pastors
00:48:31.81\00:48:35.14
and the conference president.
00:48:35.18\00:48:36.95
And Elder Richard said,
00:48:36.98\00:48:38.91
"You know I feel
like God has put me here
00:48:38.95\00:48:40.62
for such an hours as this
and given me another chance."
00:48:40.65\00:48:44.19
He's having some health issues.
00:48:44.22\00:48:45.65
"And He's put me here.
00:48:45.69\00:48:47.02
And I think I know
why, it's for evangelism."
00:48:47.06\00:48:49.16
And so I'm still of the mindset,
00:48:49.19\00:48:51.13
this is what we're going to do,
00:48:51.16\00:48:52.53
let's go out and
witness to, you know,
00:48:52.56\00:48:55.30
get thousands of
people into arena.
00:48:55.33\00:48:57.63
Get people, giving their
hearts to Jesus, baptize them.
00:48:57.67\00:49:00.30
I'm still of that mindset.
00:49:00.34\00:49:02.00
We come back home, I
go back a few weeks later,
00:49:02.04\00:49:04.54
Moses Primo and I, we take
00:49:04.57\00:49:06.24
which is one of
the greatest tools ever
00:49:06.27\00:49:09.11
in the history of 3ABN
00:49:09.14\00:49:11.11
and I think the
church My SDA TV.
00:49:11.15\00:49:13.52
Amen.
00:49:13.55\00:49:14.88
It's literally a
little tool like a Roku box,
00:49:14.92\00:49:17.32
only gets a lot of
the Adventist channels.
00:49:17.35\00:49:20.02
And it does all kinds of
thing, programming on demand.
00:49:20.06\00:49:23.09
If you miss this
program for instance,
00:49:23.12\00:49:25.16
and you're working or
whatever, you're gone,
00:49:25.19\00:49:26.93
you can come back and
watch it a week or two later.
00:49:26.96\00:49:28.93
I mean, it has
so many advantages,
00:49:28.96\00:49:30.87
incredible picture.
00:49:30.90\00:49:32.23
I mean, the high def stuff,
it's really a wonderful tool.
00:49:32.27\00:49:34.74
So we took it
over to talk to them
00:49:34.77\00:49:36.30
about maybe promoting My SDA TV.
00:49:36.34\00:49:39.17
So again, we're still
talking about huge venue's,
00:49:39.21\00:49:42.68
let's do this, you know.
00:49:42.71\00:49:44.11
We went and looked at
one, the copper box over there
00:49:44.15\00:49:47.28
while we're there and it
will hold 7,500, 8,000 people,
00:49:47.32\00:49:49.98
one of the
larger venues they're.
00:49:50.02\00:49:52.29
Very hard to get.
00:49:52.32\00:49:53.66
So we said let's do this.
00:49:53.69\00:49:55.52
Well, we start talking,
00:49:55.56\00:49:56.89
and then the
conference president
00:49:56.93\00:49:59.09
begin to talk to us, he said,
"You know we have some ideas
00:49:59.13\00:50:01.73
where 3ABN still
work if rather than going,
00:50:01.76\00:50:05.23
getting a huge
venue, it's very expensive
00:50:05.27\00:50:07.54
and to rent time on television
and to do all of this,
00:50:07.57\00:50:10.91
would we be,
would you all help us
00:50:10.94\00:50:14.21
bring over Pastor
Kenny, Pastor John, Pastor CA,
00:50:14.24\00:50:17.45
some other speakers that won't",
00:50:17.48\00:50:19.11
we have confirmed with them yet,
00:50:19.15\00:50:20.75
"But come over here and
help us in all of these churches
00:50:20.78\00:50:24.02
that we just talked
about and numerous more."
00:50:24.05\00:50:26.42
Well, to me, at first I
have to be honest with you,
00:50:26.45\00:50:28.82
it seemed like a let down
because I'm thinking about
00:50:28.86\00:50:30.93
reaching thousands
and thousands of people
00:50:30.96\00:50:33.33
who've never heard the gospel.
00:50:33.36\00:50:34.93
But that is evangelism.
00:50:34.96\00:50:36.87
But what really is taking place
00:50:36.90\00:50:39.37
and I believe
among the leadership
00:50:39.40\00:50:41.00
of the conference
realizes and wants it,
00:50:41.04\00:50:44.37
and so to the people is revival.
00:50:44.41\00:50:47.64
Amen.
00:50:47.68\00:50:49.14
So it occurred
to me that we need,
00:50:49.18\00:50:51.51
before we do something huge
I believe that we need revival
00:50:51.55\00:50:55.58
in each of the churches.
00:50:55.62\00:50:56.95
Because if we have a large venue
00:50:56.99\00:50:58.49
and let's say a
thousand people join the church,
00:50:58.52\00:51:01.36
but if it's a
church that's not in unity,
00:51:01.39\00:51:03.29
there's not a lot of love,
00:51:03.32\00:51:04.66
there's problems
within the people.
00:51:04.69\00:51:06.66
So what I see now, John,
and CA, really this first step,
00:51:06.70\00:51:10.90
they have a plan,
00:51:10.93\00:51:12.27
the conference there does
a three or four year plan.
00:51:12.30\00:51:14.80
But the first step is
going into all of these churches
00:51:14.84\00:51:18.44
and bringing revival and
reformation in the churches
00:51:18.47\00:51:22.28
so the churches now
00:51:22.31\00:51:23.85
become one as though
the day of Pentecost.
00:51:23.88\00:51:26.35
And now Jesus can be
lifted up, I if I be lifted up.
00:51:26.38\00:51:29.82
This earth will
draw all men unto me.
00:51:29.85\00:51:32.12
So I think in 17th,
00:51:32.15\00:51:34.02
they're planning on
Mark Finley coming over.
00:51:34.06\00:51:35.92
But of all the
churches are prepared,
00:51:35.96\00:51:37.79
so we're going to do our part.
00:51:37.83\00:51:39.39
We said, look,
it's not our place,
00:51:39.43\00:51:41.76
we work with the church,
00:51:41.80\00:51:43.13
whatever the church wants
us to do we're willing to do.
00:51:43.16\00:51:45.73
But as we went to
Newbold and the college there,
00:51:45.77\00:51:50.07
and someone was talking upfront,
00:51:50.11\00:51:52.24
it suddenly occurred to me.
00:51:52.27\00:51:54.01
This my SDA box, it can be
an advantage in so many areas.
00:51:54.04\00:51:58.71
Oh, yes.
00:51:58.75\00:52:00.08
One is, so Dr. Richard de Lisser
00:52:00.12\00:52:02.88
was sitting beside me
and I leaned over and I said,
00:52:02.92\00:52:05.09
"What if we give
a channel to you?"
00:52:05.12\00:52:07.82
Let me talk to Moses,
00:52:07.86\00:52:09.19
but give one for your conference
00:52:09.22\00:52:10.59
that you can do
anything you want.
00:52:10.63\00:52:11.96
Between now and September,
00:52:11.99\00:52:13.33
we're still going to
hold meetings throughout
00:52:13.36\00:52:15.10
and they want you all
to come for a few weeks
00:52:15.13\00:52:16.80
and all of us to come for
two to three weeks over there
00:52:16.83\00:52:19.27
and really,
really hit the churches,
00:52:19.30\00:52:22.60
the major
churches in the London area
00:52:22.64\00:52:24.67
with revival.
00:52:24.71\00:52:26.11
And so I said, what
if we got you a channel,
00:52:26.14\00:52:29.48
could get you a channel
00:52:29.51\00:52:30.85
that you could
put anything you want.
00:52:30.88\00:52:32.21
So when you're
having meetings together,
00:52:32.25\00:52:34.08
when you want to have workshops
together it would be like,
00:52:34.12\00:52:37.12
John, it will be
like a digital bulletin
00:52:37.15\00:52:40.42
where people can
update all the time.
00:52:40.46\00:52:42.62
And plus, they've
got equipment over there,
00:52:42.66\00:52:45.09
they've got a big
communication department,
00:52:45.13\00:52:47.06
they've got high-def cameras.
00:52:47.10\00:52:49.06
They can start
taping their own sermons,
00:52:49.10\00:52:52.33
their preaching, their music.
00:52:52.37\00:52:53.74
In fact, I talked to the
doctor today and he said,
00:52:53.77\00:52:56.20
they already have a 60
minute program they developed.
00:52:56.24\00:52:58.51
He's sending it to us tomorrow.
00:52:58.54\00:53:00.41
Wants us to look at it.
00:53:00.44\00:53:01.81
And so now I've talked to Moses,
00:53:01.84\00:53:04.55
he says, "Yes, we can do it."
00:53:04.58\00:53:05.91
So they'll have
an entire channel
00:53:05.95\00:53:07.75
that will be used in that area.
00:53:07.78\00:53:09.52
Now the witnessing
tool, the little, the smallest
00:53:09.55\00:53:12.65
My SDA box is a
little thing about,
00:53:12.69\00:53:15.02
there you go, it's
on the right hand side.
00:53:15.06\00:53:17.06
Thank you. But
what a production.
00:53:17.09\00:53:18.56
You can take that and stick it
in the back of your television,
00:53:19.89\00:53:22.13
as long as
you've got the internet,
00:53:22.16\00:53:24.10
and that'll do almost
everything the big boxes do.
00:53:24.13\00:53:26.77
But it's an European,
00:53:26.80\00:53:28.74
I think it's 50 maybe
50 pounds for the smallest,
00:53:28.77\00:53:31.54
60 pounds or
something for the largest.
00:53:31.57\00:53:34.34
But already some
calls came today.
00:53:34.38\00:53:37.65
We want to give some
of these to new members
00:53:37.68\00:53:40.12
and people
visiting our churches.
00:53:40.15\00:53:42.22
What a great, 24/7,
3ABN, and all of our channels,
00:53:42.25\00:53:45.42
it has Amazing Facts.
00:53:45.45\00:53:46.86
I think LLB, few of
the Hope channels on it,
00:53:46.89\00:53:49.76
the number, and
now it's going to have
00:53:49.79\00:53:51.59
the England
channel there, London,
00:53:51.63\00:53:53.96
for their
conference, their channel.
00:53:54.00\00:53:56.23
And so we went over there,
we've have a, literally Moses,
00:53:56.26\00:54:01.50
today were looking at sending
hundreds of them over there,
00:54:01.54\00:54:04.77
at a time may be 500.
00:54:04.81\00:54:06.24
We have a young
lady there name Kathy,
00:54:06.27\00:54:07.94
that they'll be putting up
on the screen there, not here,
00:54:07.98\00:54:11.25
but in London on that channel,
00:54:11.28\00:54:13.01
and it'll tell
you how to get it,
00:54:13.05\00:54:14.68
it's a phone number.
00:54:14.72\00:54:16.05
You contact.
00:54:16.08\00:54:17.42
So those of you watching
this, delayed in London,
00:54:17.45\00:54:19.55
and if you're up tonight,
you're up early in the morning.
00:54:19.59\00:54:21.96
But when it's re-shown here
00:54:21.99\00:54:23.83
that you want to
contact Kathy and say,
00:54:23.86\00:54:26.36
I want some My SDA boxes.
00:54:26.39\00:54:28.36
Already they're ordering them
two at a time, three at a time.
00:54:28.40\00:54:31.23
Then churches are
saying, we want to order some.
00:54:31.27\00:54:33.37
So this thing helps
bring revival and reformation
00:54:33.40\00:54:36.74
because we're exposing.
00:54:36.77\00:54:38.57
What's happening is when we
expose our self to the gospel,
00:54:38.61\00:54:41.64
something's going to happen.
00:54:41.68\00:54:43.31
Something's going to happen.
00:54:43.35\00:54:44.68
When you're
exposed to the gospel
00:54:44.71\00:54:46.58
something is going to happen.
00:54:46.61\00:54:48.22
And that, you know what that is,
00:54:48.25\00:54:49.65
your life is
going to be changed.
00:54:49.68\00:54:51.05
So it's just like me.
00:54:51.09\00:54:52.42
And what a blessing to be
able to have such little tools.
00:54:52.45\00:54:55.39
When we started, Kenny,
the great 12, 14 foot dish,
00:54:55.42\00:54:58.43
$2,000 for these.
00:54:58.46\00:55:00.33
Now you're looking at less than
$100 to get these My SDA boxes,
00:55:00.36\00:55:04.20
24/7, numerous channels
and radio channels as well.
00:55:04.23\00:55:08.04
We maybe going to put on
a full time music channel,
00:55:08.07\00:55:11.17
you know kids' channels,
all of these on this thing, CA.
00:55:11.21\00:55:14.04
Your Proclaim is on it.
00:55:14.08\00:55:15.61
And so it's
life changing for us.
00:55:15.64\00:55:18.25
So the big step
for London this year,
00:55:18.28\00:55:21.38
before we go out to the
public, let's clean the house.
00:55:21.42\00:55:24.99
And I say that
because we need to do that,
00:55:25.02\00:55:26.92
and we just do some
house cleaning at home.
00:55:26.96\00:55:28.96
Let's get our
lives, our churches
00:55:28.99\00:55:31.09
so that when we have
the public evangelism,
00:55:31.13\00:55:33.70
whatever the
church decides to do
00:55:33.73\00:55:36.03
that the people
going to come into a church
00:55:36.06\00:55:38.07
where people loving Jesus.
00:55:38.10\00:55:39.73
They are going to be
praising the Lord and say,
00:55:39.77\00:55:41.97
"What do You want me to do?"
00:55:42.00\00:55:43.37
That's right.
00:55:43.41\00:55:44.74
You have, what
do You want me to?
00:55:44.77\00:55:46.11
I'm ready to go,
00:55:46.14\00:55:47.48
I want to be part of
the Blessings On The Go.
00:55:47.51\00:55:48.84
You know, Danny, this
article just got released,
00:55:48.88\00:55:50.85
I believe in the next
magazine or this magazine,
00:55:50.88\00:55:53.31
and this is before
we even went to London.
00:55:53.35\00:55:55.38
I pray, Lord, what
do You want me to write?
00:55:55.42\00:55:57.29
Listen to this, and this is
coming up in the next issue.
00:55:57.32\00:55:59.35
"If the church is not
revive or awakened or renewed,
00:55:59.39\00:56:02.29
it is not ready
for a new interest.
00:56:02.32\00:56:04.53
Using the analogy of Jesus,
00:56:04.56\00:56:06.43
no one puts a new
wine in old wine skins.
00:56:06.46\00:56:09.26
Or else the new wine will burst
the wine skins and be spilled.
00:56:09.30\00:56:12.37
The first and most vital step
in the success of London 2016
00:56:12.40\00:56:16.60
is revival of the members of
the South England Conference.
00:56:16.64\00:56:19.17
Yeah. Amen.
00:56:19.21\00:56:20.54
So that's how,
that's the first wave.
00:56:20.58\00:56:21.94
Begin, the Lord says,
first, go to the Lord,
00:56:21.98\00:56:24.95
sheep of the house
of Israel, start there,
00:56:24.98\00:56:26.72
get that place ready
00:56:26.75\00:56:28.08
so that when the
wave can be used to build,
00:56:28.12\00:56:29.78
people can come into
and revive the church.
00:56:29.82\00:56:31.55
And that revival
will also be evangelistic.
00:56:31.59\00:56:34.02
There will be those who
will come to the church.
00:56:34.06\00:56:35.69
And their personal
ministry director mentioned
00:56:35.72\00:56:38.49
before the audit, he said,
00:56:38.53\00:56:40.10
one of our big
problems is retention.
00:56:40.13\00:56:42.00
Two reasons, one, because
they come into a cold church
00:56:42.03\00:56:44.47
and they cool down
and they go back out.
00:56:44.50\00:56:45.87
Two, because the society is
so aggressively secular that it
00:56:45.90\00:56:49.14
that it begins to
suck people back out.
00:56:49.20\00:56:51.37
And what I mentioned
him was that one of the ways
00:56:51.41\00:56:53.51
that we found in the
States to keep people in
00:56:53.54\00:56:55.78
is to really evangelize
them by putting a My SDA.
00:56:55.81\00:57:01.02
That will help you.
00:57:01.05\00:57:02.38
If you're losing 40
percent of your people,
00:57:02.42\00:57:03.75
then something's wrong.
00:57:03.79\00:57:05.15
But it is a mistake and anybody
done evangelism knows this,
00:57:05.19\00:57:08.76
it is a mistake to think that
00:57:08.79\00:57:10.13
once you pull them
out of the baptismal pool,
00:57:10.16\00:57:11.76
you got a settled
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:57:11.79\00:57:13.26
You do not give a
person who need more work,
00:57:13.29\00:57:15.66
you have a baby.
00:57:15.70\00:57:17.03
And so if you put one
of these in their home
00:57:17.07\00:57:19.90
then they are
constantly feeding themselves
00:57:19.93\00:57:23.27
and it will help
them with their attention.
00:57:23.30\00:57:25.64
They like that idea. Yeah.
00:57:25.67\00:57:27.01
Amen. All right. Wonderful.
00:57:27.04\00:57:28.38
All right. What's
happening to this hour?
00:57:28.41\00:57:29.74
Yeah. It's about gone.
00:57:29.78\00:57:31.21
And when you come back,
what we'd like you do is call.
00:57:31.25\00:57:33.52
If you have
questions, your comments,
00:57:33.55\00:57:34.95
if it's about
evangelism, whatever it's about,
00:57:34.98\00:57:37.12
we've got a great crew
here, they all got their bibles
00:57:37.15\00:57:39.39
or swords with them.
00:57:39.42\00:57:40.76
And so we'll try to
answer your question.
00:57:40.79\00:57:42.32
So we'll be back
in just a moment.
00:57:42.36\00:57:43.99
