We are back, and
that first hour went
00:00:13.01\00:00:14.94
so very, very quickly
Danny Shelton, CA Murray,
00:00:14.98\00:00:17.35
John Lomacang, Kenny Shelton.
00:00:17.38\00:00:19.68
And you have to forgive us,
00:00:19.71\00:00:21.05
you have to give
us a pass this night
00:00:21.08\00:00:22.42
'cause we're a little giddy,
00:00:22.45\00:00:23.79
we're little heady,
one we're still jet lag.
00:00:23.82\00:00:25.79
We're not getting sleep yet.
00:00:25.82\00:00:27.26
But the subject
matter is so enthralling
00:00:27.29\00:00:30.06
and so exciting to
be among the people,
00:00:30.09\00:00:32.66
one who appreciate the work
00:00:32.69\00:00:34.03
that 3ABN has been called to do.
00:00:34.06\00:00:35.40
Amen.
00:00:35.43\00:00:36.77
Secondly, to be, to
want to be part of that work.
00:00:36.80\00:00:38.50
Thirdly, to have so
many people to be part
00:00:38.53\00:00:40.40
of the blessings on the go team.
00:00:40.44\00:00:42.04
Yes.
00:00:42.07\00:00:43.41
And then to know
that, that London wants
00:00:43.44\00:00:46.41
and is ready for evangelism.
00:00:46.44\00:00:48.64
The churches know
we need to be revived.
00:00:48.68\00:00:50.75
We need to have
the kind of church
00:00:50.78\00:00:53.28
that when people come
into it, they feel Jesus,
00:00:53.31\00:00:55.65
feel they're part in
presence of the Lord.
00:00:55.68\00:00:57.15
And we are proud of that,
00:00:57.19\00:00:58.52
so forgive us for
being a little giddy
00:00:58.55\00:01:00.29
and we hope
that it's infectious.
00:01:00.32\00:01:03.09
We are sneezing into the camera
00:01:03.12\00:01:04.66
hoping that you
will be infected,
00:01:04.69\00:01:06.39
so that you can get
this energy that we have
00:01:06.43\00:01:09.33
because the Holy Spirit
is here in a very good way
00:01:09.36\00:01:11.33
and it's directing our
movements we do believe.
00:01:11.37\00:01:13.34
He's so kind, I'm not
even going to apologize.
00:01:13.37\00:01:16.14
We're just happy to
be serving the Lord,
00:01:16.17\00:01:18.14
and to have something.
00:01:18.17\00:01:19.51
One of the things, and
then we're going to move on now.
00:01:19.54\00:01:21.68
We want you to call
in with your questions
00:01:21.71\00:01:23.61
and your comments
in a bit as you see
00:01:23.65\00:01:25.05
which direction we're going.
00:01:25.08\00:01:27.18
Several of you
are writing saying,
00:01:27.22\00:01:28.65
what you're doing with
the blessing on the go,
00:01:28.68\00:01:30.12
given him to
correctional facility people.
00:01:30.15\00:01:32.49
Some says, I'm giving
him to dental assistant.
00:01:32.52\00:01:34.72
That I see,
I've seen quite often
00:01:34.76\00:01:37.23
given him to neighbors.
00:01:37.26\00:01:38.59
And that's great that
your blessing on the go tours
00:01:38.63\00:01:40.86
that are sent to you.
00:01:40.90\00:01:42.23
All of that's great,
but one of the things
00:01:42.26\00:01:44.70
that I saw in every church.
00:01:44.73\00:01:47.74
When Kenny was preaching,
he stood up for a minute
00:01:47.77\00:01:50.64
and gave a testimony
even that night and said,
00:01:50.67\00:01:53.81
"Every time you
mention the word truth,
00:01:53.84\00:01:55.38
the people just almost
broke out in applause."
00:01:55.41\00:01:58.48
They say, "We're ready"
00:01:58.51\00:01:59.85
because the
mentality of many of us today,
00:01:59.88\00:02:02.28
not just in England
but around the world
00:02:02.32\00:02:05.22
as Seventh-day
Adventist Christians,
00:02:05.25\00:02:06.82
we have to be
careful what you say.
00:02:06.86\00:02:08.66
That's the
mentality of America for sure,
00:02:08.69\00:02:12.09
about no matter what.
00:02:12.13\00:02:13.46
You can't call
sin by its right name.
00:02:13.50\00:02:15.50
You can't, we're all
guilty, so I feel like
00:02:15.53\00:02:17.73
if I'm standing
here judging you all,
00:02:17.77\00:02:19.63
then shame on me.
00:02:19.67\00:02:21.00
But if I can talk about sin.
00:02:21.04\00:02:22.94
Sin has affected me
just like it has you.
00:02:22.97\00:02:24.87
We're all sinners in
need of a savior, am I right?
00:02:24.91\00:02:27.44
That's right.
00:02:27.48\00:02:28.81
So now as a
sinner saved by grace,
00:02:28.84\00:02:31.51
I get to share that.
00:02:31.55\00:02:33.15
Now, people are
worried about being offended.
00:02:33.18\00:02:36.08
When Brother Murray
talk, when John talk,
00:02:36.12\00:02:38.02
every time you guys mention
00:02:38.05\00:02:39.69
they're in new
boat giving the truth.
00:02:39.72\00:02:42.32
You know, preaching the
truth, Mark of the Beast,
00:02:42.36\00:02:44.59
Sabbath, the State of
the Dead all these things
00:02:44.63\00:02:46.73
that people
responded tremendously.
00:02:46.76\00:02:48.10
Yes.
00:02:48.13\00:02:49.46
But I don't know,
00:02:49.50\00:02:50.83
if I'd be exaggerating
over the several meetings
00:02:50.87\00:02:52.87
if I said a hundred
or several hundred people
00:02:52.90\00:02:56.17
came and said,
00:02:56.20\00:02:57.54
"Thank you for 3ABN for giving
the truth for what you do,
00:02:57.57\00:03:00.48
your speakers
telling it like it is.
00:03:00.51\00:03:02.91
Now in love, all of the message
00:03:02.94\00:03:05.55
we can sell we want
to do if it's not love.
00:03:05.58\00:03:07.48
It's not Jesus.
00:03:07.52\00:03:09.18
So, Jesus is the
center of the message
00:03:09.22\00:03:12.55
that 3ABN preaches,
00:03:12.59\00:03:14.32
an undiluted
Three Angels' Messages,
00:03:14.36\00:03:16.12
one that would
counteract the counterfeit
00:03:16.16\00:03:18.69
into all the world,
and so, we want you to know
00:03:18.73\00:03:22.26
that 3ABN is still
committed to giving the truth.
00:03:22.30\00:03:25.30
We believe that now
more than ever before
00:03:25.33\00:03:27.20
people need the truth.
00:03:27.24\00:03:28.57
You know why?
00:03:28.60\00:03:29.94
There is more err
now than ever before.
00:03:29.97\00:03:32.11
When you look around us,
I mean, everywhere we look,
00:03:32.14\00:03:35.38
you see the err.
00:03:35.41\00:03:36.75
You see this past
year changing the marriage,
00:03:36.78\00:03:39.78
redefining marriage.
00:03:39.81\00:03:41.15
How dare we something
that God set up at creation
00:03:41.18\00:03:44.72
one man, one
woman, for we as a nation.
00:03:44.75\00:03:47.79
And our Supreme
Court going and saying,
00:03:47.82\00:03:49.76
"Well, just any two people."
00:03:49.79\00:03:51.59
You know, they
say, "Adam and Steve
00:03:51.63\00:03:53.13
or whatever can marry."
00:03:53.16\00:03:54.56
That's blasphemy to God.
00:03:54.60\00:03:56.60
Just like God said,
00:03:56.63\00:03:58.00
"Remember the
Sabbath day to keep Holy."
00:03:58.03\00:03:59.63
He sanctified on creation.
00:03:59.67\00:04:03.07
The Sabbath and He
sanctified marriage.
00:04:03.10\00:04:05.61
So we can't
trample on any of those.
00:04:05.64\00:04:06.98
No.
00:04:07.01\00:04:08.34
I believe it's our
duty when we talk to you
00:04:08.38\00:04:10.11
and we say these
are Bible truths.
00:04:10.15\00:04:12.75
We're not saying
we have it all right.
00:04:12.78\00:04:14.25
I don't have it all
right, I make lots of mistakes.
00:04:14.28\00:04:16.65
CA, John, Kenny, we'll
all be the first to say,
00:04:16.69\00:04:18.79
we make mistakes,
but it has nothing to do,
00:04:18.82\00:04:21.22
it's just as parents.
00:04:21.26\00:04:22.59
When you, when you have
kids, all of us that have kids.
00:04:22.62\00:04:25.26
You're going to
try to help your kids
00:04:25.29\00:04:27.26
and tell them the truth
even if you messed up earlier,
00:04:27.30\00:04:30.20
because you
don't have to do over.
00:04:30.23\00:04:32.13
So you want to
tell them the truth,
00:04:32.17\00:04:33.70
so they won't go through maybe
00:04:33.74\00:04:35.10
what you've gone through, right?
00:04:35.14\00:04:36.87
I don't know if that's
making any sense to you.
00:04:36.91\00:04:39.11
So we believe that you
don't have to go around
00:04:39.14\00:04:42.84
if the Lord gives us the
truth, whether it's the Sabbath,
00:04:42.88\00:04:45.75
the State of the Dead.
00:04:45.78\00:04:47.12
No matter what it is,
the Mark of the Beast,
00:04:47.15\00:04:49.55
we don't need to go around
and try to outsmart people.
00:04:49.58\00:04:52.25
There's a lot of
smart people intellectually
00:04:52.29\00:04:54.86
based on man's grading
system in this world, John.
00:04:54.89\00:04:58.69
There's a lot of smart people.
00:04:58.73\00:05:00.36
But when you look at it
on God's grading system,
00:05:00.40\00:05:03.06
the only one the smartest people
00:05:03.10\00:05:04.53
are realizing that
we're frail human agents.
00:05:04.57\00:05:07.64
We're here and destined to
die from the moment we're born.
00:05:07.67\00:05:11.21
We're terminal a
disease called death.
00:05:11.24\00:05:14.58
And the only way out of
that is accepting the free gift
00:05:14.61\00:05:18.58
that the Lord Jesus
Christ gave to us by His death,
00:05:18.61\00:05:20.95
burial and
resurrection there at Calvary.
00:05:20.98\00:05:23.99
I mean, what an
incredible testimony.
00:05:24.02\00:05:27.32
What an incredible truth
we have to give to the world,
00:05:27.36\00:05:29.86
but as we believe we're living
00:05:29.89\00:05:31.83
and a lot of
Christians say they are.
00:05:31.86\00:05:33.90
And those of us the Seventh-day
Adventist Christians,
00:05:33.93\00:05:36.33
we believe God has
people in all churches.
00:05:36.36\00:05:38.47
Now, if you talk
to the Catholic Church
00:05:38.50\00:05:40.40
and I've done this.
00:05:40.44\00:05:41.77
I'm not dogging anybody,
00:05:41.80\00:05:43.14
I talk to a
Catholic priest, John.
00:05:43.17\00:05:44.51
He said,
"There's only one church.
00:05:44.54\00:05:46.78
If you're not a
Catholic you're not in a church.
00:05:46.81\00:05:48.64
You talk to a Muslim,
there's only one religion.
00:05:48.68\00:05:50.98
If you're not a Muslim,
00:05:51.01\00:05:52.35
you're not going
to make it to heaven.
00:05:52.38\00:05:53.72
There is actually some
Protestant churches who say,
00:05:53.75\00:05:57.42
"We're the only
ones that are saved."
00:05:57.45\00:05:59.39
So Seventh-day Adventist,
we don't believe that.
00:05:59.42\00:06:01.32
We believe that God
has people in all churches,
00:06:01.36\00:06:03.49
but God has always had a
people that has present truth
00:06:03.53\00:06:06.86
to give to the world
for that needed time.
00:06:06.90\00:06:10.17
And we believe God
has given us that truth,
00:06:10.20\00:06:12.23
because now we're
living in the prophecies
00:06:12.27\00:06:14.94
2000 years ago,
00:06:14.97\00:06:16.30
or even 4000 years
ago Daniel and Revelation.
00:06:16.34\00:06:19.21
These things coming but
we're here living in it.
00:06:19.24\00:06:21.78
We're seeing this.
00:06:21.81\00:06:23.14
Who would have
believed 50 years ago,
00:06:23.18\00:06:24.95
you'd see them in
Untied States of America,
00:06:24.98\00:06:27.15
presidents of the United States,
00:06:27.18\00:06:28.68
congressmen,
senators, they're standing up--
00:06:28.72\00:06:30.59
It's not gonna get back. No.
00:06:30.62\00:06:31.95
No, all getting
up and mayor saying,
00:06:31.99\00:06:33.46
"Well, we think
marriage of any kind."
00:06:33.49\00:06:35.56
Some of the same people
in office six years ago said
00:06:35.59\00:06:39.76
marriage
between a man and woman,
00:06:39.79\00:06:41.53
if it's Bible I believe it,
it's between a man and woman.
00:06:41.56\00:06:44.10
Six years later what changed?
00:06:44.13\00:06:45.63
I heard the same person
running for president saying,
00:06:45.67\00:06:49.37
"Well, I think either one.
00:06:49.40\00:06:50.84
You know, it
doesn't make any difference.
00:06:50.87\00:06:53.31
So the people
changed, not God right, John?
00:06:53.34\00:06:55.24
The God has not
changed you know--
00:06:55.28\00:06:56.61
I got to-- I got to
let up a little bit.
00:06:56.64\00:06:59.11
Keep it going 'cause I'm just
about to get on board with you.
00:06:59.15\00:07:01.22
He got to tap the
break-- Jump on, jump on.
00:07:01.25\00:07:03.35
I'm not getting
into trouble too.
00:07:03.39\00:07:04.72
See, see we are--
00:07:04.75\00:07:06.09
I said this
before and I hope that
00:07:06.12\00:07:07.49
those who are
watching remember this.
00:07:07.52\00:07:09.22
I said, "We are
preaching what I call
00:07:09.26\00:07:12.69
a non
politically correct message."
00:07:12.73\00:07:14.46
Thank you.
00:07:14.50\00:07:15.83
This message is too late
to be politically correct.
00:07:15.86\00:07:18.57
Let me tell you why?
00:07:18.60\00:07:19.93
Paul was released by
the Holy Spirit in Acts 18.
00:07:19.97\00:07:24.37
The Lord visited Paul
by night, and he said this.
00:07:24.41\00:07:27.61
This is what I have
grabbed on, I've soaked this in.
00:07:27.64\00:07:30.81
You know, when you
drop a piece of bread
00:07:30.85\00:07:32.35
in a bowl of fluid
which soaks it all up,
00:07:32.38\00:07:35.55
this what I've got by
His grace has given me
00:07:35.58\00:07:37.59
the same clarion call.
00:07:37.62\00:07:38.95
He said to him by
night in a vision.
00:07:38.99\00:07:41.19
He said, "Do not
be afraid but speak.
00:07:41.22\00:07:44.19
And do not keep
silent, for I am with you.
00:07:44.23\00:07:46.76
And no one will
attack you to hurt you,
00:07:46.80\00:07:48.96
for I have many
people in this city."
00:07:49.00\00:07:50.37
Okay.
00:07:50.40\00:07:51.73
And then Paul
preached his heart out.
00:07:51.77\00:07:53.70
We're talking about this
flyer that you're offering now.
00:07:53.74\00:07:55.47
That's right.
00:07:55.50\00:07:56.84
Is God's law,
about God's authority.
00:07:56.87\00:08:00.31
Listen to what Lord--
00:08:00.34\00:08:01.68
Listen to what
they said about Paul.
00:08:01.71\00:08:03.85
Paul preached straight
and they said of him then,
00:08:03.88\00:08:07.05
and they're
going to say this of us
00:08:07.08\00:08:08.65
when we get to London.
00:08:08.68\00:08:10.42
This fellow
persuades men to worship God
00:08:10.45\00:08:13.49
contrary to the law,
the laws of the land.
00:08:13.52\00:08:16.59
This man persuades men
to worship God contrary
00:08:16.62\00:08:20.23
to the laws of the land.
00:08:20.26\00:08:21.60
Okay.
00:08:21.63\00:08:22.96
We don't answer to
the laws of the land
00:08:23.00\00:08:25.00
except as we accept
00:08:25.03\00:08:27.24
as they are in
harmony with God's will,
00:08:27.27\00:08:29.04
the commandments of God
in harmony with God's will.
00:08:29.07\00:08:31.51
But when they start--
00:08:31.54\00:08:33.34
when they start wearing off,
00:08:33.38\00:08:35.61
we will preach and
tell men to worship God
00:08:35.64\00:08:38.68
contrary to the
laws of the land.
00:08:38.71\00:08:40.92
Because that's what
God has called us to do.
00:08:40.95\00:08:43.05
Paul had the same injunction.
00:08:43.08\00:08:44.79
We have the same
injunction today.
00:08:44.82\00:08:46.15
I see trouble coming, John.
00:08:46.19\00:08:47.52
You know what? Is this a crisis?
00:08:47.56\00:08:49.49
It is a crisis.
00:08:49.52\00:08:50.89
Infectious,
Pastor, you said while ago.
00:08:50.93\00:08:52.86
Yes.
00:08:52.89\00:08:54.23
What's been going on
here, and talking here,
00:08:54.26\00:08:56.10
and evangelism.
00:08:56.13\00:08:58.30
It's infectious to me.
00:08:58.33\00:09:00.07
Even though we may be
been in the work a long time.
00:09:00.10\00:09:02.34
I'm feeling something,
renewed inside about going out
00:09:02.37\00:09:07.31
and reaching others almost
like it may be the last call.
00:09:07.34\00:09:10.51
Okay.
00:09:10.55\00:09:11.88
For some because the door
of probation is about to close.
00:09:11.91\00:09:14.78
And it made me want to get back
00:09:14.82\00:09:16.15
into the book Evangelism
again and just begin to read it.
00:09:16.18\00:09:19.19
Okay.
00:09:19.22\00:09:20.56
And I read page 17,
00:09:20.59\00:09:21.92
I just want to read a
quick short line on it.
00:09:21.96\00:09:23.59
And it says right now.
00:09:23.63\00:09:24.96
It says, "If there was
ever a crises it is now.
00:09:24.99\00:09:30.23
Decided efforts should
be made to bring the message
00:09:30.27\00:09:33.74
of this time
prominently before the people."
00:09:33.77\00:09:37.04
Now notice,
prominently means conspicuously
00:09:37.07\00:09:39.57
you were talking about pastor.
00:09:39.61\00:09:41.71
You talk about
there, it's like something.
00:09:41.74\00:09:43.41
You have a door, and
conspicuous about the door
00:09:43.45\00:09:46.11
is the door knob
that's sticking out.
00:09:46.15\00:09:48.08
So, our message
needs to stick out.
00:09:48.12\00:09:50.19
Yeah.
00:09:50.22\00:09:51.55
It's something that
if you walk through that,
00:09:51.59\00:09:52.92
it might hit you.
00:09:52.95\00:09:54.29
It's going to
get your attention.
00:09:54.32\00:09:55.86
It will make you side step.
00:09:55.89\00:09:58.16
It will make you
make a decision for Jesus.
00:09:58.19\00:10:00.56
This is what it means,
we need it prominently.
00:10:00.60\00:10:03.06
We need to push forth
the effort now, because I--
00:10:03.10\00:10:06.94
You're like, I know
many, many other people.
00:10:06.97\00:10:09.14
You wake up in the
middle of the night,
00:10:09.17\00:10:10.94
and you've got this on
your heart and on your mind.
00:10:10.97\00:10:14.21
Preachers wake up.
00:10:14.24\00:10:15.61
Now, John, I'm
sure, you do it all day.
00:10:15.64\00:10:17.95
I preach half and
I wake up worn out
00:10:17.98\00:10:20.02
in the morning
00:10:20.05\00:10:21.38
because I've been
preaching all night long
00:10:21.42\00:10:23.62
trying to get
the word to someone,
00:10:23.65\00:10:25.39
that doesn't make
me good, bad or ugly.
00:10:25.42\00:10:26.86
It just simply says I
just, we worked all night long.
00:10:26.89\00:10:29.49
I'm tired now, but
when I went to bed.
00:10:29.52\00:10:31.83
But I believe, truthfully
this is a crisis time.
00:10:31.86\00:10:35.36
This is a time that
God is going to use 3ABN
00:10:35.40\00:10:38.80
the tool in God's
hand that's going to reach
00:10:38.83\00:10:41.47
the vast multitude of people.
00:10:41.50\00:10:43.64
I'm convinced of it
00:10:43.67\00:10:45.07
because people,
youth, they're ready.
00:10:45.11\00:10:47.78
They are primed,
they're looking for something.
00:10:47.81\00:10:50.91
I've met so many people,
00:10:50.95\00:10:52.28
they're looking for something
they're not sure what it is.
00:10:52.31\00:10:55.62
That's our job.
00:10:55.65\00:10:56.99
That's 3ABN's
job is to give them
00:10:57.02\00:10:59.82
what they're looking for,
00:10:59.85\00:11:01.19
and sometimes it's
just a word in due season,
00:11:01.22\00:11:02.56
they already know it.
00:11:02.59\00:11:03.93
Yeah.
00:11:03.96\00:11:05.29
But just to remind
them, so I truly believe
00:11:05.33\00:11:06.86
this is the crises hour.
00:11:06.90\00:11:08.50
We have no time to lose.
00:11:08.53\00:11:10.60
It's not about
finances, it's not about money,
00:11:10.63\00:11:13.13
it's not what people talk about.
00:11:13.17\00:11:15.20
Because I've been again
reading the book Evangelism,
00:11:15.24\00:11:17.24
it says, "God has
money people out there."
00:11:17.27\00:11:20.28
I'm sorry, if I
mention this, you don't mention
00:11:20.31\00:11:21.94
but let me do it, right.
00:11:21.98\00:11:23.85
God has money people out there.
00:11:23.88\00:11:26.41
And the money people,
what they're going to do.
00:11:26.45\00:11:28.52
The Holy Spirit is
going to impress them.
00:11:28.55\00:11:31.29
We can't go, we talked
about early in the first hour.
00:11:31.32\00:11:34.16
We can't do it.
00:11:34.19\00:11:35.52
But God has
blessed us abundantly.
00:11:35.56\00:11:37.89
And we're going
to give large sums
00:11:37.93\00:11:40.00
to get this gospel
preached into the world.
00:11:40.03\00:11:42.73
God is going to impress
men and women around the world
00:11:42.76\00:11:46.17
as they see, that
you're not only preaching it.
00:11:46.20\00:11:49.27
But I believe
this in all my heart.
00:11:49.30\00:11:51.11
The reason the church some
time as some of us are dead.
00:11:51.14\00:11:53.94
You know, we know the
message but we do not live it
00:11:53.98\00:11:56.58
by the grace of God.
00:11:56.61\00:11:57.95
God is looking for people
who will live this message
00:11:57.98\00:12:01.45
and when we do,
God's going to bless
00:12:01.48\00:12:03.15
our socks off.
00:12:03.18\00:12:04.99
And, you know, London is
a city that's under siege
00:12:05.02\00:12:07.46
from heathenism, from
secularism, from atheism,
00:12:07.49\00:12:12.39
from spiritualism.
00:12:12.43\00:12:14.46
It's a city under siege
00:12:14.50\00:12:15.83
from the growing
non-Christian movements,
00:12:15.86\00:12:18.30
it's a growing
non-Christian religions.
00:12:18.33\00:12:20.34
And you know what, Danny,
when you read Desire or Ages.
00:12:20.37\00:12:23.71
See, in preparation for
the second coming of Jesus,
00:12:23.74\00:12:25.97
the conditions are
just as it was in the days
00:12:26.01\00:12:28.14
of the first half of Jesus.
00:12:28.18\00:12:29.98
Ellen White says at the time
00:12:30.01\00:12:31.68
that is when the
fullness of time had come
00:12:31.71\00:12:33.31
and Jesus came,
00:12:33.35\00:12:34.68
at that time the
systems of heathenism,
00:12:34.72\00:12:36.89
this is powerful were losing
their hold upon the people.
00:12:36.92\00:12:40.19
Men were weary of
pageant and fable,
00:12:40.22\00:12:42.42
they long for a religion
that could satisfy the heart.
00:12:42.46\00:12:45.59
And so, there
are people in London,
00:12:45.63\00:12:47.56
that are not all swept away.
00:12:47.60\00:12:49.46
I've got people in
this city, you just said.
00:12:49.50\00:12:52.40
I've got people,
00:12:52.43\00:12:53.77
and people are longing
for something different.
00:12:53.80\00:12:55.14
So while, while they
right now are holding on
00:12:55.17\00:12:57.84
to what they see available.
00:12:57.87\00:13:00.91
Bad, good news is good news.
00:13:00.94\00:13:03.75
Even if everything else is bad,
good news is still good news.
00:13:03.78\00:13:07.32
So God has given us.
00:13:07.35\00:13:09.48
She says, "They were thirsting
00:13:09.52\00:13:11.65
for a knowledge
of the living God
00:13:11.69\00:13:13.56
and for some assurance
of a life beyond the grave."
00:13:13.59\00:13:16.86
When we were leaving this
famous singer David Bowie.
00:13:16.89\00:13:20.23
They said he
passed away David Bowie,
00:13:20.26\00:13:21.60
he was on all the billboards.
00:13:21.63\00:13:23.43
God bless him.
00:13:23.47\00:13:24.80
You know, I'm not
talking about him particularly.
00:13:24.83\00:13:26.84
But when death comes,
it is the great equalizer.
00:13:26.87\00:13:29.57
Yes. You could have all this.
00:13:29.60\00:13:31.27
You could have, you could,
00:13:31.31\00:13:32.64
your house could
be built on your gold,
00:13:32.67\00:13:34.41
your 500 million dollars
could be under your house.
00:13:34.44\00:13:36.95
Another guy on
the side of the street
00:13:36.98\00:13:38.31
that has nothing but
a shopping cart dies.
00:13:38.35\00:13:40.45
And you both turn to
dust in a matter of time.
00:13:40.48\00:13:41.88
Thank you.
00:13:41.92\00:13:43.25
So I believe in
London, all this prosperity
00:13:43.28\00:13:44.79
is an indication that
there is a deep need of God
00:13:44.82\00:13:48.09
and how, how providential is it
00:13:48.12\00:13:50.59
that God puts
this vision of London
00:13:50.63\00:13:52.53
on your heart.
00:13:52.56\00:13:53.90
And he puts a man in there
whose health is not as great
00:13:53.93\00:13:56.13
but he has a
heart for evangelism.
00:13:56.16\00:13:58.63
And a the church now,
00:13:58.67\00:14:00.00
once they heard
the word evangelism,
00:14:00.04\00:14:01.47
a number of members came
up to me afterwards and said.
00:14:01.50\00:14:04.81
A young lady, she
could have been about 22
00:14:04.84\00:14:06.91
she said, "God has
finally heard our cry in London.
00:14:06.94\00:14:12.18
And someone has
come to help us."
00:14:12.21\00:14:13.55
And when you read
00:14:13.58\00:14:14.92
what Ellen
White's talk about London.
00:14:14.95\00:14:16.28
She says, "At the earliest
stages of London history,
00:14:16.32\00:14:17.95
she prayed for
the Lord, was praying.
00:14:17.99\00:14:20.06
"We need workers to go to London
00:14:20.09\00:14:21.92
for our people in that city."
00:14:21.96\00:14:23.93
So it's happening again.
00:14:23.96\00:14:25.66
This young lady, she said,
00:14:25.69\00:14:28.13
"Pastor, God has
heard our cry in London
00:14:28.16\00:14:31.20
and send someone to help us."
00:14:31.23\00:14:33.23
That's all we are.
00:14:33.27\00:14:34.60
We are not doing the
work, we're joining them
00:14:34.64\00:14:36.84
in the need
that's there in London.
00:14:36.87\00:14:38.21
One of the things she said,
00:14:38.24\00:14:39.57
that hindered our work in London
00:14:39.61\00:14:40.94
a little bit she said,
00:14:40.98\00:14:42.31
"You tried to
think too cheaply."
00:14:42.34\00:14:43.68
So don't try to
get away cheaply.
00:14:43.71\00:14:45.21
Don't throw away your money
00:14:45.25\00:14:47.55
but don't try to
get too cheap either,
00:14:47.58\00:14:49.22
you know spend every cent,
00:14:49.25\00:14:50.59
don't apologize for
asking for money for evangelism.
00:14:50.62\00:14:54.42
How much can you buy a soul for?
00:14:54.46\00:14:55.79
Yeah.
00:14:55.82\00:14:57.16
Put a price on
it, you can't do that.
00:14:57.19\00:14:58.53
So don't try to get do,
do what's necessary you know.
00:14:58.56\00:15:01.23
When you look at
the Book of John.
00:15:01.26\00:15:03.93
Christ in His dialogue
with the woman at the well.
00:15:03.97\00:15:06.53
She shot a blow smoke.
00:15:06.57\00:15:07.90
Well, she worshipped in Samaria,
00:15:07.94\00:15:09.27
she worshipped in
Jerusalem you know,
00:15:09.30\00:15:10.64
which was Christ
said that's not the deal.
00:15:10.67\00:15:13.24
The deal is God is
looking for a spirit and truth.
00:15:13.27\00:15:16.14
And I will give you your flowers
00:15:16.18\00:15:18.65
while you're alive.
00:15:18.68\00:15:20.02
It's always been for truth.
00:15:20.05\00:15:21.98
Spirit, lot of folk got spirit.
00:15:22.02\00:15:24.69
But that spirit got to
be buttressed by truth.
00:15:24.72\00:15:26.99
And when you preach truth.
00:15:27.02\00:15:28.89
As you were
saying, men and women
00:15:28.92\00:15:30.89
will be drawn to that truth.
00:15:30.93\00:15:32.43
And the only thing that
separates us from anybody else
00:15:32.46\00:15:35.23
is I'll be
preaching the truth of God.
00:15:35.26\00:15:37.00
Are we telling the truth?
00:15:37.03\00:15:38.37
And it is the truths of
God that will attract men
00:15:38.40\00:15:40.14
and women and lift
up the name of Jesus.
00:15:40.17\00:15:42.70
And so I'm excited
to be part of the church
00:15:42.74\00:15:45.27
that tells the
truth, the whole truths,
00:15:45.31\00:15:48.11
nothing but the truth.
00:15:48.14\00:15:50.05
Amen.
00:15:50.08\00:15:51.41
Who will the
devil fight the hardest?
00:15:51.45\00:15:52.78
Those telling the truth.
00:15:52.81\00:15:54.15
Those who want
to tell the truth.
00:15:54.18\00:15:55.52
Precisely.
00:15:55.55\00:15:56.89
So I was thinking about as
you guys were talking here.
00:15:56.92\00:15:58.25
Back I grew up,
you know 50, 60s.
00:15:58.29\00:16:00.36
And some of the folk
grew up in 70s and 80s.
00:16:00.39\00:16:03.59
If you can go way
back to that time,
00:16:03.63\00:16:06.16
and you're thinking about it.
00:16:06.19\00:16:08.06
What happened?
00:16:08.10\00:16:09.43
A lot of us
grew up in a movement
00:16:09.46\00:16:13.03
Seventh-day
Adventist Church a movement,
00:16:13.07\00:16:14.94
John, that knew
00:16:14.97\00:16:16.77
all of the
doctrine inside and out.
00:16:16.81\00:16:19.74
But somehow, we
missed a relationship
00:16:19.77\00:16:22.38
with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:16:22.41\00:16:24.21
So Satan says, "I don't
care how much truth you know,
00:16:24.25\00:16:26.55
I know truth."
00:16:26.58\00:16:27.92
But Satan is not
going to be saved.
00:16:27.95\00:16:29.75
So what happened is,
we have a group of people
00:16:29.78\00:16:32.35
who started
instead of loving people,
00:16:32.39\00:16:35.06
and begin to beat
him over the heads,
00:16:35.09\00:16:36.46
if you don't this,
and you don't do that,
00:16:36.49\00:16:38.69
and you don't do this.
00:16:38.73\00:16:40.06
If you become
Adventist Christian,
00:16:40.10\00:16:41.43
you can't smoke, drink,
you can't do blah, blah.
00:16:41.46\00:16:43.90
These are the rules,
00:16:43.93\00:16:45.27
rather than the
rule of love in itself.
00:16:45.30\00:16:49.40
God will teach us what
we're to do and not to do.
00:16:49.44\00:16:52.71
And the end
result will be the same.
00:16:52.74\00:16:55.24
We want to take
care of our bodies.
00:16:55.28\00:16:56.85
But we don't beat
people over the head.
00:16:56.88\00:16:58.78
Somebody, "Oh, we heard
you joined a church and,
00:16:58.81\00:17:01.45
and you know you quit smoking"
00:17:01.48\00:17:02.85
but somebody thought
they saw you smoking again.
00:17:02.88\00:17:05.15
You know so we need to
disfellowship this guy,
00:17:05.19\00:17:07.39
let's get him out of church.
00:17:07.42\00:17:08.76
So, what's happened
is, is over the years
00:17:08.79\00:17:11.73
you've seen people,
God gives great truth.
00:17:11.76\00:17:15.03
You know, 1844 on
00:17:15.06\00:17:16.87
and you see all the
movements righteous by faith,
00:17:16.90\00:17:18.90
all this thing, the 1888 thing.
00:17:18.93\00:17:20.87
Growing here, and all
this truth coming out.
00:17:20.90\00:17:23.41
But somehow we're so zealous
for to get the message out
00:17:23.44\00:17:26.94
and we forget
what it's all about.
00:17:26.98\00:17:29.41
It's about Jesus. Thank you.
00:17:29.44\00:17:30.78
So now, as generations
say our age gets older.
00:17:30.81\00:17:34.38
And we say, "Whoa, we
don't want to do that,
00:17:34.42\00:17:36.05
I was raised legalistic,
it was all about doing don't."
00:17:36.08\00:17:38.75
We just want to love people.
00:17:38.79\00:17:40.36
Now, we just
want to love people.
00:17:40.39\00:17:41.99
But we now, we
don't tell them the truth
00:17:42.02\00:17:43.56
because we're afraid
that if we tell him the truth
00:17:43.59\00:17:45.43
it will hurt him.
00:17:45.46\00:17:46.80
So, the devil gets
you, he doesn't care,
00:17:46.83\00:17:48.80
we've always said,
00:17:48.83\00:17:50.17
which side of
boat you fall out off
00:17:50.20\00:17:51.63
as long as you fall out, right?
00:17:51.67\00:17:53.40
Thank you.
00:17:53.44\00:17:54.77
So, we are looking for
and what we're asking God for
00:17:54.80\00:17:57.07
and here at 3ABN is a balance.
00:17:57.11\00:17:59.47
Because somewhere
between here and there
00:17:59.51\00:18:02.64
is where God wants us to be.
00:18:02.68\00:18:04.05
There's a people who can
come before the world and say,
00:18:04.08\00:18:07.28
"This is the last day
message, the end times message
00:18:07.32\00:18:11.15
for an end times people."
00:18:11.19\00:18:12.52
Revelation Chapter14.
00:18:12.55\00:18:14.06
Go into the
Three Angles' Messages
00:18:14.09\00:18:16.02
and it's all about love.
00:18:16.06\00:18:17.63
God is love.
00:18:17.66\00:18:18.99
And so it's all about love.
00:18:19.03\00:18:20.36
But it helps us
to know people say,
00:18:20.40\00:18:22.83
"What good does it do you?
00:18:22.86\00:18:24.27
Here's what it does
me and I've told a story,
00:18:24.30\00:18:26.53
so I won't go into
the whole thing is.
00:18:26.57\00:18:28.20
But if you read
the back of the book,
00:18:28.24\00:18:30.57
it says "Satan is defeated,
those who serve God win."
00:18:30.61\00:18:34.94
So, by knowing the prophecies
of Daniel and Revelation,
00:18:34.98\00:18:38.48
a lot of
churches throw them out.
00:18:38.51\00:18:39.95
Kenny, you know that
Daniel and Revelation,
00:18:39.98\00:18:42.28
you know, that's old stuff,
00:18:42.32\00:18:44.69
we don't even
look at those things.
00:18:44.72\00:18:46.82
But Daniel and
Revelation of course,
00:18:46.86\00:18:48.26
Satan would want you to do it.
00:18:48.29\00:18:49.72
Because the game plan
is then there, God says,
00:18:49.76\00:18:53.23
"I got a road map for you,
00:18:53.26\00:18:54.60
if you understand this prophecy,
00:18:54.63\00:18:56.00
no matter what happens,
you'll not be discouraged.
00:18:56.03\00:18:58.43
You will never be defeated.
00:18:58.47\00:18:59.97
I don't care if you
die, you're not defeated
00:19:00.00\00:19:01.74
because though you were
dead, yet shall ye live.
00:19:01.77\00:19:04.84
That's exactly what
God is saying to us.
00:19:04.87\00:19:06.57
So, what's happening is,
00:19:06.61\00:19:08.54
the message that we find
00:19:08.58\00:19:10.51
in the prophecies of
Daniel and Revelation,
00:19:10.55\00:19:12.91
very few
churches are preaching it.
00:19:12.95\00:19:14.92
But what's the
big deal about it.
00:19:14.95\00:19:16.48
People say what's the
big? The big deal is this.
00:19:16.52\00:19:18.99
How many of you get discouraged
when you're going down
00:19:19.02\00:19:22.42
in life's highway, where is God.
00:19:22.46\00:19:25.06
I have people do that to
me all the time, you do too.
00:19:25.09\00:19:27.50
Sometimes there are
even church members.
00:19:27.53\00:19:29.56
Lot of times there're
people I'm meeting with,
00:19:29.60\00:19:31.07
they travel on airplanes with--
00:19:31.10\00:19:32.73
We begin to talk.
00:19:32.77\00:19:34.20
I don't know, where
is God when I need him.
00:19:34.24\00:19:36.30
And you know what tells me?
00:19:36.34\00:19:37.67
They haven't read
the back of the book.
00:19:37.71\00:19:39.04
So if you understand
a prophecies of Daniel--
00:19:39.07\00:19:40.81
Why do we harp on those?
00:19:40.84\00:19:42.18
People say you harp
on all these prophecies.
00:19:42.21\00:19:44.58
Because it gives
us the calm assurance
00:19:44.61\00:19:47.58
that Satan is a defeated foe.
00:19:47.62\00:19:49.75
"And greater is
he that is in us,
00:19:49.78\00:19:51.79
than he that is in the world."
00:19:51.82\00:19:53.32
And so, now, when we see
all of these things happen.
00:19:53.36\00:19:56.49
We don't get discouraged.
00:19:56.52\00:19:57.86
We get encouraged to
tell about John or Mary.
00:19:57.89\00:20:01.33
Kenny, the guy buys the
book, reads the, you know,
00:20:01.36\00:20:04.37
reads the back of the
book before he buys it.
00:20:04.40\00:20:06.53
Says, "John and Mary rode off
the sunset happily ever after."
00:20:06.57\00:20:09.67
Takes the book home,
200 pages he's 100 pages in,
00:20:09.70\00:20:14.01
John and Mary,
they were riding horses
00:20:14.04\00:20:15.71
but something spooked him.
00:20:15.74\00:20:17.25
They fell off.
00:20:17.28\00:20:18.61
Now they're on a cliff
they're hanging on a limb.
00:20:18.65\00:20:20.58
It's 2,000 feet
below, they're ready to die.
00:20:20.62\00:20:23.25
Now, you the reader, do you
go, "Oh, no, I'm 100 pages in,
00:20:23.28\00:20:28.12
John and Mary are going to die."
00:20:28.16\00:20:29.96
You don't do that why
not? You say, wait a minute.
00:20:29.99\00:20:32.43
I read back of the book.
This is going to get exciting.
00:20:32.46\00:20:35.26
How is the author going
to convince me believably?
00:20:35.30\00:20:38.27
How is he going to get them
out of this situation to there.
00:20:38.30\00:20:41.44
That's exactly where we
are when we read the Bible.
00:20:41.47\00:20:43.77
And we know,
Daniel and Revelation.
00:20:43.81\00:20:45.37
We've read the back of the book,
00:20:45.41\00:20:46.74
so when Satan
hits you the hardest.
00:20:46.78\00:20:48.71
When you're the
most discouraged,
00:20:48.74\00:20:50.48
you feel like the
whole world is against you.
00:20:50.51\00:20:52.95
Instead of being discouraged,
John, you look up and say,
00:20:52.98\00:20:55.88
"Ha-ha, Satan, I've
read the back of the book.
00:20:55.92\00:20:58.75
You are defeated
foe, get away from me."
00:20:58.79\00:21:01.42
And you'll see
this piece of God.
00:21:01.46\00:21:03.26
That's the only things
kept me going for many years.
00:21:03.29\00:21:05.76
I mean, I may bring on
a lot of my own problems,
00:21:05.79\00:21:09.23
I made a lot of mistakes,
00:21:09.26\00:21:10.60
had a lot of personal tragedies.
00:21:10.63\00:21:12.23
All of those things.
00:21:12.27\00:21:13.60
But I'm so glad
that God is there
00:21:13.64\00:21:15.24
whether they are my
fault directly, indirectly.
00:21:15.27\00:21:18.27
I'm a human
being, I've got failures.
00:21:18.31\00:21:20.38
But what's kept me going
00:21:20.41\00:21:21.74
is I've read the
back of the book.
00:21:21.78\00:21:23.11
I'm not going
to let you, or you,
00:21:23.14\00:21:24.65
or anybody else discourage
me as you said earlier.
00:21:24.68\00:21:27.55
I'm going to stand
up and say, "Okay, Lord,
00:21:27.58\00:21:29.18
I'm going to say
what you have done."
00:21:29.22\00:21:30.99
Now, what can I do?
I'm not a theologian.
00:21:31.02\00:21:32.95
I just, my greatest
asset, Ellen White says is my--
00:21:32.99\00:21:35.82
our own personal testimony
of what God has done for us.
00:21:35.86\00:21:39.36
I once was blind
but now I see, right.
00:21:39.39\00:21:42.16
I was lost but now I'm found.
00:21:42.20\00:21:44.50
God saved a wretch like me.
00:21:44.53\00:21:46.47
Let me share how God
is gonna turn it around.
00:21:46.50\00:21:47.94
This is energy, I
was tired on the way.
00:21:47.97\00:21:50.61
Let me just give--
00:21:50.64\00:21:52.01
When I was like about--
00:21:52.04\00:21:53.38
And we're not
on anything really.
00:21:53.41\00:21:54.88
No, no.
00:21:54.91\00:21:56.24
Fifteen minutes after
seven I was sitting, I said,
00:21:56.28\00:21:58.41
"Honey, it's like 15
minutes after 1 in London.
00:21:58.45\00:22:00.78
She said, "Wake up,
you've got to go to 3ABN."
00:22:00.82\00:22:03.35
So I'm awake. Praise God.
00:22:03.39\00:22:04.72
I'm awake but God is
great. Let me show you.
00:22:04.75\00:22:07.16
You see, we look at the world,
and we look at the church.
00:22:07.19\00:22:09.92
It's paramount to
this to the famine
00:22:09.96\00:22:12.19
that had taken hold of Samaria.
00:22:12.23\00:22:14.60
When the Syrian
army under Ben-hadad
00:22:14.63\00:22:16.56
had surrounded
Samaria, lock them in.
00:22:16.60\00:22:19.20
Now, when I read
that, I said, Lord.
00:22:19.23\00:22:20.67
And you know what?
00:22:20.70\00:22:22.04
You talk about getting
up early in the morning,
00:22:22.07\00:22:23.41
when the Lord gets hold of you,
00:22:23.44\00:22:24.77
the morning before I
preached this sermon.
00:22:24.81\00:22:26.34
Sorry,
actually, Tuesday morning,
00:22:26.37\00:22:28.94
Wednesday morning,
00:22:28.98\00:22:30.98
sorry Thursday
morning of the week
00:22:31.01\00:22:32.35
before I preached them.
00:22:32.38\00:22:33.72
I woke up at 3:45.
00:22:33.75\00:22:35.88
And then at 4 o'clock I
said to my wife, "You awake?"
00:22:35.92\00:22:39.29
I'm now.
00:22:39.32\00:22:40.66
She said, and she said and now,
00:22:40.69\00:22:42.52
now some people may
contribute to jet lag,
00:22:42.56\00:22:45.13
but when you cannot sleep,
00:22:45.16\00:22:46.49
because the Lord has
put a message in your mind,
00:22:46.53\00:22:48.26
it can't let you go.
00:22:48.30\00:22:49.73
You woke up, so I woke up
at 4 o'clock in the morning,
00:22:49.76\00:22:52.30
went into the bathroom,
00:22:52.33\00:22:53.67
thankful they had those
dim lights in the bathroom.
00:22:53.70\00:22:55.97
The commode
became my office chair.
00:22:56.00\00:22:58.67
The tub became my office desk.
00:22:58.71\00:23:00.71
And I stayed in there till
7:45 and all I kept hearing
00:23:00.74\00:23:03.28
Angie say, "You all right?"
00:23:03.31\00:23:04.65
I said, "Honey, I
don't know, how this sounds
00:23:04.68\00:23:07.28
but the Lord and me
are doing just fine."
00:23:07.32\00:23:10.19
And you know what,
he said to me, he said,
00:23:10.22\00:23:12.15
"There is a famine in the world,
00:23:12.19\00:23:14.19
there's a famine in
the church so much so,
00:23:14.22\00:23:17.46
that we are paying high
prices for donkeys heads
00:23:17.49\00:23:22.70
and for a cup of dove's dung.
00:23:22.73\00:23:25.23
But it's going to get worse.
00:23:25.27\00:23:26.60
Follow this.
00:23:26.63\00:23:27.97
So now, that's when,
that's when compromise
00:23:28.00\00:23:29.77
began to come into the church.
00:23:29.80\00:23:31.44
We started spending
a whole lot of money
00:23:31.47\00:23:33.38
for nothing with
any lasting value.
00:23:33.41\00:23:35.08
But it's getting even worse now,
00:23:35.11\00:23:36.81
because now we're
talking about same sex marriage
00:23:36.85\00:23:38.48
and all these things
00:23:38.51\00:23:40.02
that are tearing
the church apart.
00:23:40.05\00:23:41.38
It got to the place now,
00:23:41.42\00:23:42.75
where went from
eating donkeys heads
00:23:42.78\00:23:44.15
paying high
prices in dove's dung
00:23:44.19\00:23:46.45
to eating each other's children
00:23:46.49\00:23:49.26
Now, when that
happened, the Lord said to me,
00:23:49.29\00:23:52.79
I said Lord, "What
can I say about that,
00:23:52.83\00:23:54.66
that's so
grose, what can I say."
00:23:54.70\00:23:56.23
He said, "John the message is,
00:23:56.26\00:23:58.47
there are things on
the plate of our church
00:23:58.50\00:24:01.70
that I've never intended
for our people to address."
00:24:01.74\00:24:06.37
I said unbelievable.
00:24:06.41\00:24:07.74
He said, "There are
things that we are swallowing
00:24:07.78\00:24:09.94
that I've never made a
part of my church's diet."
00:24:09.98\00:24:12.65
And I'm going to turn it around.
00:24:12.68\00:24:14.02
So when I read that story.
00:24:14.05\00:24:15.38
I said, "Lord, how you
going to turn it around
00:24:15.42\00:24:16.75
and what made me laugh,
00:24:16.79\00:24:18.12
Angie heard me
laugh in the bathroom.
00:24:18.15\00:24:19.49
She said, "What
are you laughing?"
00:24:19.52\00:24:20.86
I said, "Honey,
God just showed me
00:24:20.89\00:24:22.22
what the church looks like."
00:24:22.26\00:24:23.59
But even in their
condition, it's not hopeless
00:24:23.63\00:24:24.96
because when we think
our condition is hopeless,
00:24:24.99\00:24:26.33
God begins to speak,
so he uses four lepers men
00:24:26.36\00:24:28.80
to give a picture of
the church, four lepers.
00:24:28.83\00:24:31.43
They're stuck
between death on one side,
00:24:31.47\00:24:33.77
death on the other
and then they said,
00:24:33.80\00:24:35.67
then they said.
00:24:35.70\00:24:37.04
And the Lord said to Elisha.
00:24:37.07\00:24:39.27
He said, okay, it
looks really bad but.
00:24:39.31\00:24:41.01
So somebody said, the law says,
00:24:41.04\00:24:43.28
"Here's the message from
God By this time tomorrow,
00:24:43.31\00:24:46.55
I'm gonna sell you--
00:24:46.58\00:24:47.98
I'm going to
give you the best food
00:24:48.02\00:24:49.35
for next to nothing."
00:24:49.38\00:24:50.72
Go on.
00:24:50.75\00:24:52.09
"I'm going to
give you the best flour
00:24:52.12\00:24:53.46
and the best
barley for almost nothing,
00:24:53.49\00:24:55.69
by this time tomorrow."
00:24:55.72\00:24:57.79
So question, how do
you turn around a church
00:24:57.83\00:25:00.30
that's in famine in one day?
00:25:00.33\00:25:03.37
And demand that the
Elisha say that too.
00:25:03.40\00:25:05.73
He said, "That couldn't happen
00:25:05.77\00:25:07.10
even if the Lord opened heaven."
00:25:07.14\00:25:08.47
Yeah.
00:25:08.50\00:25:09.84
And poured out all his
blood, that couldn't even happen
00:25:09.87\00:25:11.41
if the Lord opened the
windows of him poured it out.
00:25:11.44\00:25:13.58
And Elisha said to him,
00:25:13.61\00:25:14.94
"It's not only going to happen."
00:25:14.98\00:25:16.31
Yes.
00:25:16.34\00:25:17.68
"You'll see it, but you
never bet people are inspired."
00:25:17.71\00:25:19.41
You see, there are
some people in church
00:25:19.45\00:25:20.78
no matter how
positive you speak,
00:25:20.82\00:25:22.75
they will always think negative.
00:25:22.78\00:25:24.45
So God now brings
these four leapers,
00:25:24.49\00:25:26.02
I'm going to be
done on the sermon.
00:25:26.05\00:25:27.89
These four leapers
00:25:27.92\00:25:29.26
sitting there
between death on one side
00:25:29.29\00:25:30.63
and death on the other
00:25:30.66\00:25:31.99
and this is where
the church comes in.
00:25:32.03\00:25:33.36
In our most putrid condition,
00:25:33.40\00:25:35.30
we are still
God's people coming.
00:25:35.33\00:25:36.67
Come on, say amen.
00:25:36.70\00:25:38.03
Amen. Thank you.
00:25:38.07\00:25:39.40
So, God gives the message.
00:25:39.43\00:25:40.77
And then these men,
00:25:40.80\00:25:42.14
this is where--
this is where I got
00:25:42.17\00:25:43.51
so hallelujah
moment, I said hallelujah.
00:25:43.54\00:25:45.44
Angie said, "You all
right?" I said, "I'm okay."
00:25:45.47\00:25:47.08
Amen.
00:25:47.11\00:25:48.44
When the leper
were about to surrender
00:25:48.48\00:25:51.88
to the Syrian
army, to their enemy.
00:25:51.91\00:25:54.05
When the church
is about to look like
00:25:54.08\00:25:55.78
it's going to give in to Satan,
00:25:55.82\00:25:57.65
the Lord turned
it around and said,
00:25:57.69\00:25:59.02
"No, I'm not
gonna let you do that.
00:25:59.05\00:26:00.82
So, they got up now,
00:26:00.86\00:26:02.22
they said, "If we
sit here we're gonna die.
00:26:02.26\00:26:03.73
If we go in and
then they kill us,
00:26:03.76\00:26:05.09
we're going to die anyway."
00:26:05.13\00:26:06.46
In other words they say,
00:26:06.49\00:26:07.83
we're gonna die
there or die here.
00:26:07.86\00:26:09.20
They didn't say
we're gonna live.
00:26:09.23\00:26:10.57
If they let us
live, that's lucky.
00:26:10.60\00:26:12.57
But God at that
moment turned it around
00:26:12.60\00:26:15.30
and when they went into the camp
00:26:15.34\00:26:17.01
where they could have
been certainly killed,
00:26:17.04\00:26:19.47
the Lord got rid of the
enemy and his people prospered.
00:26:19.51\00:26:22.01
And then they said,
00:26:22.04\00:26:24.38
"This is a day of good news."
00:26:24.41\00:26:25.85
Yeah.
00:26:25.88\00:26:27.22
"If we hold our
peace until the morning,
00:26:27.25\00:26:28.82
some evil is
gonna come upon us."
00:26:28.85\00:26:30.19
So, Danny, here's where we are.
00:26:30.22\00:26:32.55
One leper, two lepers,
three lepers, four lepers.
00:26:32.59\00:26:36.12
What are we saying.
This is a day of good news.
00:26:36.16\00:26:39.39
We cannot hold our peace.
00:26:39.43\00:26:41.06
If we hold our peace
until Jesus comes the morning,
00:26:41.10\00:26:44.43
an evil is
going to come upon us,
00:26:44.47\00:26:45.80
so we don't have-- we
don't even have an option.
00:26:45.83\00:26:48.00
I mean, I don't have an
option to not tell the truth.
00:26:48.04\00:26:50.77
You don't have an option,
you don't have an option.
00:26:50.81\00:26:52.74
Let me tell you what
the Lord does when you,
00:26:52.77\00:26:54.44
when you take that
option to tell the truth
00:26:54.48\00:26:56.41
in the midst of a bad situation.
00:26:56.44\00:26:59.38
He's going to provide
everything that 3ABN needs
00:26:59.41\00:27:01.88
to keep telling the truth
00:27:01.92\00:27:03.25
just like He did for the lepers.
00:27:03.28\00:27:04.62
When they went to the camp,
00:27:04.65\00:27:05.99
they found silver,
gold, and clothing.
00:27:06.02\00:27:08.52
They went to another tent,
00:27:08.56\00:27:09.89
they found good stuff there too.
00:27:09.92\00:27:11.49
But here's the key, Danny.
00:27:11.53\00:27:12.86
We cannot hide
any of the blessings
00:27:12.89\00:27:14.30
God gives to us.
00:27:14.33\00:27:15.70
Is what He gives to us
00:27:15.73\00:27:17.07
is for the progress of His work.
00:27:17.10\00:27:18.50
This is a day of good news.
00:27:18.53\00:27:20.10
Let us go tell the
king's household now.
00:27:20.14\00:27:22.27
Here's the kicker. Well.
00:27:22.30\00:27:23.87
London has a royal family.
00:27:23.91\00:27:25.61
Okay, come on now.
00:27:25.64\00:27:27.44
We got to tell
the king's household.
00:27:27.48\00:27:28.94
Is that a two hander? Amen.
00:27:28.98\00:27:31.08
God has called
us to go to London,
00:27:31.11\00:27:32.68
to the king's household
00:27:32.71\00:27:34.58
and bring the day of good news,
that's where the vision came.
00:27:34.62\00:27:36.99
You know, you talk about
the church and stuff a lot.
00:27:37.02\00:27:39.09
You know, and
again there's one time,
00:27:39.12\00:27:40.66
just tell you a quick
story, it's very interesting
00:27:40.69\00:27:42.62
'cause, you know, I
was like most folks.
00:27:42.66\00:27:46.36
I was praying about
the condition of the church
00:27:46.39\00:27:49.30
as a whole,
00:27:49.33\00:27:50.67
and as maybe a local
church that you might pastor
00:27:50.70\00:27:52.80
because I think
it's so important
00:27:52.83\00:27:54.57
if you're a
preacher in a church,
00:27:54.60\00:27:56.60
you should want to know.
00:27:56.64\00:27:58.17
God can reveal
where the church is at,
00:27:58.21\00:28:00.74
what they have need of.
00:28:00.78\00:28:02.74
What I have need of and
you always pray for that,
00:28:02.78\00:28:04.71
what do I need first?
00:28:04.75\00:28:06.31
What does the church need?
00:28:06.35\00:28:08.08
And it was time I pray
for, I want to be honest,
00:28:08.12\00:28:09.85
I said, Lord, help me to
understand where the church
00:28:09.88\00:28:12.92
in general looked
and where they're at
00:28:12.95\00:28:15.89
and what can I do
to help, you know.
00:28:15.92\00:28:18.66
And so, I went to
sleep and had a dream.
00:28:18.69\00:28:22.00
And I had a
dream, I was preaching.
00:28:22.03\00:28:24.00
I was preaching
up there and also,
00:28:24.03\00:28:25.93
you know, as people
are, again I was preaching
00:28:25.97\00:28:27.40
and all of sudden I looked
and all the people were gone.
00:28:27.44\00:28:31.61
Where did all the people go?
00:28:31.64\00:28:34.91
And I thought
and I heard a little,
00:28:34.94\00:28:37.15
you know, like a
little whine-whine cry.
00:28:37.18\00:28:39.05
And I thought I better go down
the pews to see what happened.
00:28:39.08\00:28:42.08
So I went down in
the pew and I looked
00:28:42.12\00:28:44.72
and every one of the people
had turned into little babies.
00:28:44.75\00:28:47.59
Oh, mercy.
00:28:47.62\00:28:49.02
They were in little
bassinets, in the bassinets.
00:28:49.06\00:28:52.39
And I said, Lord,
what is going on here
00:28:52.43\00:28:55.16
with the people I was praying.
00:28:55.20\00:28:56.53
Where are they at and
they were all in bassinets
00:28:56.56\00:28:59.33
and then I
said, I cannot believe
00:28:59.37\00:29:00.97
this condition of the church.
00:29:01.00\00:29:04.67
I looked at
myself and I'm crawling
00:29:04.71\00:29:06.57
and I had my little
nightcap on it and pass a fire.
00:29:06.61\00:29:09.91
That would scare me.
You got to be kidding me.
00:29:09.94\00:29:12.71
Somebody pray for me.
00:29:12.75\00:29:14.42
I have my little
cap on and pass a fire.
00:29:14.45\00:29:16.69
The Lord was
revealing that we need change.
00:29:16.72\00:29:20.39
With the same token
00:29:20.42\00:29:21.76
we have to be as little children
00:29:21.79\00:29:23.12
before we enter the kingdom.
00:29:23.16\00:29:24.49
But he's looking
at us and saying,
00:29:24.53\00:29:25.86
we might think
we're somewhere to you.
00:29:25.89\00:29:27.60
We might think
that we're going to,
00:29:27.63\00:29:29.23
we might think we have--
00:29:29.26\00:29:30.60
We need to do a
video reenactment to that.
00:29:30.63\00:29:33.84
See, we think it's all
about-- Let me just repeat that.
00:29:33.87\00:29:37.27
We know it's not about us,
00:29:37.31\00:29:38.64
because we
ain't none the lepers.
00:29:38.67\00:29:40.14
Even on our best day,
00:29:40.18\00:29:41.84
our
righteousness is as filthy rag.
00:29:41.88\00:29:44.71
Tell it like it is.
00:29:44.75\00:29:46.08
So it's about God, God chooses
people that Lord have mercy.
00:29:46.11\00:29:50.25
God chooses people
that don't look like
00:29:50.29\00:29:52.02
they have
anything to offer, lepers.
00:29:52.05\00:29:54.76
God chooses people
that look to others
00:29:54.79\00:29:57.06
like they've lost their
sense of feeling, lepers.
00:29:57.09\00:30:00.50
God looks, He chooses people
that may appear to the world
00:30:00.53\00:30:03.37
that they've lost
their sensibilities to truth,
00:30:03.40\00:30:05.83
lepers, and they haven't.
00:30:05.87\00:30:07.80
They're just
waiting for the Lord
00:30:07.84\00:30:09.17
to get the enemy out of the way.
00:30:09.20\00:30:10.87
So I'm not
worried about all the isms
00:30:10.91\00:30:13.84
and the schisms and the atheists
00:30:13.88\00:30:15.58
and all the forces of darkness
00:30:15.61\00:30:17.48
because God got rid
of the entire Syrian army
00:30:17.51\00:30:22.02
just so he can make a
way for the proclamation.
00:30:22.05\00:30:24.75
They ran out of
sound, they heard a sound.
00:30:24.79\00:30:27.16
You know, and
John, I work sort of ago
00:30:27.19\00:30:29.12
and I was because I've
preached on that particular--
00:30:29.16\00:30:30.49
It's powerful.
00:30:30.53\00:30:31.86
It is powerful and the subtext
is had those guys not moved
00:30:31.89\00:30:36.33
and exercise what
little faith they had,
00:30:36.36\00:30:38.53
they would have never known
that God had already worked.
00:30:38.57\00:30:41.20
And so many times,
00:30:41.24\00:30:42.57
and the president alluded
to this Sunday at the meeting.
00:30:42.60\00:30:44.54
Sometimes, we are
waiting, okay, God, do it.
00:30:44.57\00:30:47.54
And God has already done it.
00:30:47.58\00:30:48.91
You need to step out
in faith and go ahead.
00:30:48.94\00:30:51.45
That's why I said you
can't let people throw
00:30:51.48\00:30:52.98
dirt on your aspirations.
00:30:53.01\00:30:54.38
You've got to move.
00:30:54.42\00:30:55.75
And let me, let
me just add to that.
00:30:55.78\00:30:57.12
Say that again.
00:30:57.15\00:30:58.49
You've got to
move, you can't go,
00:30:58.52\00:30:59.85
you going past that with.
00:30:59.89\00:31:01.22
Blessings on the go.
00:31:01.26\00:31:02.59
Yeah, that the
blessing is on the go.
00:31:02.62\00:31:03.96
You cannot sit here till we die.
00:31:03.99\00:31:05.33
Yeah.
00:31:05.36\00:31:06.70
So when we sit on the program,
I'll throw it back to you,
00:31:06.73\00:31:08.06
when we sit on this time
00:31:08.10\00:31:09.43
and we're
talking to those of you
00:31:09.46\00:31:10.80
who are watching and
listening to this program.
00:31:10.83\00:31:12.30
You might be in your car.
00:31:12.33\00:31:13.67
The Lord may be
speaking to your heart.
00:31:13.70\00:31:15.34
We cannot in this late hour
of earth's history be quiet.
00:31:15.37\00:31:17.77
No.
00:31:17.81\00:31:19.14
This is a day of good news.
00:31:19.17\00:31:20.68
We are not capable
in and of ourselves
00:31:20.71\00:31:23.14
to accomplish
anything but we cannot as 3ABN,
00:31:23.18\00:31:27.45
God has called us in the church
00:31:27.48\00:31:28.82
and it is written
all the other ministries.
00:31:28.85\00:31:31.09
None of them has
the option to sit down
00:31:31.12\00:31:33.79
and wait for the
circumstance to change
00:31:33.82\00:31:35.19
before they go forward.
00:31:35.22\00:31:36.56
There you go. That's the point.
00:31:36.59\00:31:37.93
We can't say, okay,
00:31:37.96\00:31:39.29
now it's clear the atheism
population is going down.
00:31:39.33\00:31:41.06
No, Lord said no.
00:31:41.10\00:31:42.43
The Syrians look tough,
00:31:42.46\00:31:44.40
but you've got to move
for me to make way for you--
00:31:44.43\00:31:46.30
Yeah. That's right.
00:31:46.33\00:31:47.67
And some people
don't know where to move.
00:31:47.70\00:31:49.04
They don't know what
to do. When you knew,
00:31:49.07\00:31:50.41
you will find that God
has already begun to work
00:31:50.44\00:31:51.84
in your behalf
that God is not static
00:31:51.87\00:31:53.71
and just
because we are clueless,
00:31:53.74\00:31:55.28
don't think God is.
00:31:55.31\00:31:56.64
Because we're impotent,
don't think that God is.
00:31:56.68\00:31:58.78
And I'm going to 1 Hebrews 13.
00:31:58.81\00:32:01.55
Yes.
00:32:01.58\00:32:02.92
"Be free from love of money,
00:32:02.95\00:32:04.29
be content with
such things as you have."
00:32:04.32\00:32:05.75
Whatever you got,
throw that in the fray,
00:32:05.79\00:32:08.32
because God can use--
00:32:08.36\00:32:10.06
I only got five dollars a
week or five dollars a month.
00:32:10.09\00:32:13.29
Put that five dollars in there.
00:32:13.33\00:32:14.83
And God will
take that five dollars
00:32:14.86\00:32:16.46
and multiply that five dollars.
00:32:16.50\00:32:19.17
So, be content with
such things as you have.
00:32:19.20\00:32:21.40
Don't look at John,
don't look at Pastor Kenny,
00:32:21.44\00:32:23.17
don't look at Danny.
00:32:23.20\00:32:24.54
Look at what God has given you
00:32:24.57\00:32:26.17
because He's given you
something that you can use
00:32:26.21\00:32:28.44
for the
up-building of the kingdom.
00:32:28.48\00:32:29.81
Okay.
00:32:29.84\00:32:31.18
Why should you be
content with whatever you got,
00:32:31.21\00:32:33.28
be it little or small,
00:32:33.31\00:32:34.65
because He himself that
is God Himself that said,
00:32:34.68\00:32:37.99
"I will in no wise fail thee."
00:32:38.02\00:32:40.76
So you can jump into the fray
00:32:40.79\00:32:42.79
knowing that
success is guaranteed,
00:32:42.82\00:32:45.43
because God has said,
00:32:45.46\00:32:46.80
"I'm not going to fail you."
00:32:46.83\00:32:48.16
Whatever you got, use
it for the King of God.
00:32:48.20\00:32:50.67
Neither will I in
any wise forsake thee."
00:32:50.70\00:32:53.40
So He's not going to fail you.
00:32:53.44\00:32:55.14
He's not going to forsake you.
00:32:55.17\00:32:56.50
He's not gonna get
you out and let you drown.
00:32:56.54\00:32:58.64
He's not gonna
let anybody drown you.
00:32:58.67\00:33:00.54
He's going to take care of
you and if you yielded to Him,
00:33:00.58\00:33:03.41
He will make sure that
whatever you give to Him
00:33:03.45\00:33:05.75
will meet with
success, I'm almost done.
00:33:05.78\00:33:07.62
Come on, now.
00:33:07.65\00:33:08.98
So that was good
courage we may say.
00:33:09.02\00:33:11.32
The Old King James says boldly.
00:33:11.35\00:33:12.79
We can say, "The
Lord is my helper."
00:33:12.82\00:33:16.39
So why should we fear London.
00:33:16.42\00:33:18.46
Why should we fear any city?
00:33:18.49\00:33:20.10
Ellen White said, "Sometimes
I look at these cities,
00:33:20.13\00:33:22.06
and it makes me
sick to my stomach,
00:33:22.10\00:33:23.43
I get sick because my burden
is so strong for these cites."
00:33:23.47\00:33:27.44
And we develop that burden.
00:33:27.47\00:33:28.97
She saw them but now
they're more like towns
00:33:29.00\00:33:30.61
as compared to the cities now.
00:33:30.64\00:33:32.81
London didn't have
00:33:32.84\00:33:34.18
eight and half
million people back then.
00:33:34.21\00:33:35.54
No, no, but she
had a burden for them.
00:33:35.58\00:33:36.91
She says,
"Sometimes I just get sick
00:33:36.95\00:33:38.28
because I love to see
what God is going to do.
00:33:38.31\00:33:40.05
So that with courage,
good courage we may say
00:33:40.08\00:33:43.08
"The Lord is my helper."
00:33:43.12\00:33:45.19
And if you don't
believe God is there with you,
00:33:45.22\00:33:46.55
don't go out there.
00:33:46.59\00:33:47.92
That's right.
00:33:47.96\00:33:49.29
You know, don't go out
like the seven sons of Sceva
00:33:49.32\00:33:50.66
preaching, preaching John's got.
00:33:50.69\00:33:52.03
You got to
preach God for yourself.
00:33:52.06\00:33:53.83
My God, you know.
00:33:53.86\00:33:55.20
So you can say.
00:33:55.23\00:33:56.56
"God, the Lord is my helper.
00:33:56.60\00:33:57.93
He will not forsake us.
00:33:57.97\00:33:59.40
I will not fear what
shall man do unto me."
00:33:59.43\00:34:03.87
So the boldness
that you hear from us,
00:34:03.91\00:34:07.14
is not a confidence in itself.
00:34:07.18\00:34:09.61
It's just that
we've seen God do so much
00:34:09.64\00:34:13.35
with so little for so
long, that we are sure
00:34:13.38\00:34:16.08
that He can do
anything with nothing.
00:34:16.12\00:34:17.45
Amen. So it's not about us.
00:34:17.49\00:34:18.82
It's all about Him.
00:34:18.85\00:34:20.52
And God can do anything
but fail, and we know that.
00:34:20.56\00:34:24.96
Going on the heels of little bit
00:34:24.99\00:34:26.53
of what Kenny
said with his story.
00:34:26.56\00:34:28.90
What we're seeing
in churches today,
00:34:28.93\00:34:30.97
I know as we travel, we
see some churches you go in
00:34:31.00\00:34:34.57
and they go
through all the motions.
00:34:34.60\00:34:36.74
We come in, we
enter, we kneel, we pray,
00:34:36.77\00:34:38.57
we sing in glory and
part we do all the things
00:34:38.61\00:34:41.24
that somehow we
think makes us holy.
00:34:41.28\00:34:43.45
And I've been to
churches where I'm convinced
00:34:43.48\00:34:45.75
the whole
services have been planned
00:34:45.78\00:34:47.85
without the thought,
or maybe the Holy Spirit
00:34:47.88\00:34:49.65
wants to take
over and do something
00:34:49.68\00:34:51.52
because, we've
got our own plans.
00:34:51.55\00:34:54.16
But yet it's right,
we've got the pipe organ
00:34:54.19\00:34:56.22
at the right time,
we've got everything.
00:34:56.26\00:34:58.03
You know people look right
when you take up the offerings,
00:34:58.06\00:35:00.60
you do all of these things.
00:35:00.63\00:35:02.13
So we go again
00:35:02.16\00:35:03.50
and we're saying
the devil doesn't care
00:35:03.53\00:35:04.87
which side of the
boat you fall out off.
00:35:04.90\00:35:06.33
But I've gone to churches
where I feel like the people
00:35:06.37\00:35:09.30
would know the Holy
Spirit if it was there,
00:35:09.34\00:35:12.31
because we don't have
00:35:12.34\00:35:13.68
and I'm not
naming any particular
00:35:13.71\00:35:15.14
but I'm saying and
hopefully you understand this.
00:35:15.18\00:35:17.48
That's where we are,
00:35:17.51\00:35:18.85
so if people come
in from the outside,
00:35:18.88\00:35:21.22
they see it better than we do.
00:35:21.25\00:35:23.18
You have Christians
00:35:23.22\00:35:24.55
of other faiths
come in, it's like.
00:35:24.59\00:35:25.92
Well, I hear all this
but I don't feel and sense
00:35:25.95\00:35:28.96
anointing of the
Holy Spirit here.
00:35:28.99\00:35:31.16
Well, I'm gonna tell you a story
00:35:31.19\00:35:33.09
Kenny, it's
similar to your dream.
00:35:33.13\00:35:34.83
Not, not the same but Merida
that sings with Lanny Wolfe,
00:35:34.86\00:35:39.40
her husband Walter,
00:35:39.43\00:35:41.47
Walter had
prayed, he's a preacher.
00:35:41.50\00:35:43.91
And he had been praying
that the Lord would, would--
00:35:43.94\00:35:47.54
He says let me experience
some of the suffering of Jesus.
00:35:47.58\00:35:51.05
Now, when you say that,
be careful what you say.
00:35:51.08\00:35:53.78
That's what he says.
00:35:53.82\00:35:55.15
And so, Walter
began to go through,
00:35:55.18\00:35:56.55
he's been
through a number of years
00:35:56.58\00:35:58.55
of really some
serious suffering.
00:35:58.59\00:36:02.39
But he said, he
was in the hospital,
00:36:02.42\00:36:03.93
they sent this to me
and then I called him
00:36:03.96\00:36:05.39
and talked to him, John.
00:36:05.43\00:36:06.76
He was in the hospital.
00:36:06.80\00:36:08.13
And now they're of a church
that's a much more excited,
00:36:08.16\00:36:10.57
there's a lot, a lot of--
00:36:10.60\00:36:12.57
You know, it's
considered Holy Ghost,
00:36:12.60\00:36:15.17
more Pentecostal type, you know.
00:36:15.20\00:36:18.17
So Walters in the hospital
00:36:18.21\00:36:20.68
and he wakes up,
but he sees this,
00:36:20.71\00:36:23.14
and he doesn't
know if it's a dream,
00:36:23.18\00:36:24.55
but he feels like he's awake.
00:36:24.58\00:36:26.08
But he says, he's
standing with the Lord.
00:36:26.11\00:36:29.15
And he looks
way over and he sees
00:36:29.18\00:36:31.25
what looks like
a church building,
00:36:31.29\00:36:33.25
but it's just on fire.
00:36:33.29\00:36:35.19
So Walter says is,
"What is this, is that hell."
00:36:35.22\00:36:38.83
And he said no, no,
00:36:38.86\00:36:41.23
but he said, I looked
closer there was shouting.
00:36:41.26\00:36:43.83
There was, you know, dancing.
00:36:43.87\00:36:45.33
There was all
kinds of things going on.
00:36:45.37\00:36:47.90
And I said,
"That's your church."
00:36:47.94\00:36:50.74
The Lord said,
"No, that's my church.
00:36:50.77\00:36:53.14
The people are
there, but I'm not inside.
00:36:53.17\00:36:57.48
I'm outside.
00:36:57.51\00:36:59.18
You know that's
revelation all the way, Danny.
00:36:59.21\00:37:00.98
Behold, I stand at
the door and knock.
00:37:01.02\00:37:02.85
Hello, could somebody let me in.
00:37:02.88\00:37:05.45
That's huge.
Isn't that incredible.
00:37:05.49\00:37:08.49
He says, "That's my people.
00:37:08.52\00:37:10.79
They're inside the
church, but I'm outside.
00:37:10.83\00:37:14.30
I'm not there."
00:37:14.33\00:37:15.66
So whether you're--
What we call dead over here,
00:37:15.70\00:37:17.93
or we over here
shouting and running around
00:37:17.97\00:37:20.07
doing all the
things that look holy.
00:37:20.10\00:37:22.44
The devil doesn't care.
00:37:22.47\00:37:23.81
You know, what that is, Danny,
00:37:23.84\00:37:25.17
that's part of the message
we have to give to the world,
00:37:25.21\00:37:27.14
I'm so thankful for.
00:37:27.18\00:37:28.58
If you want a balanced,
00:37:28.61\00:37:30.38
I'm talking about a balance
message in the word of God.
00:37:30.41\00:37:33.58
You know, in Adventism
00:37:33.62\00:37:34.95
and I don't hide behind anything
00:37:34.98\00:37:36.82
and try to apologize for.
00:37:36.85\00:37:38.29
It's a balance
message, we have unbalanced it.
00:37:38.32\00:37:41.36
But the message and
the truth is balanced.
00:37:41.39\00:37:43.79
And when God
gives, God gives us,
00:37:43.83\00:37:45.53
you know, the go sign.
00:37:45.56\00:37:46.96
He means go into all the world,
that's exactly what he means.
00:37:47.00\00:37:50.50
And so, what you're
talking about here on fire.
00:37:50.53\00:37:54.27
God said, He's
going to light a fire
00:37:54.30\00:37:56.34
on this last day church.
00:37:56.37\00:37:58.04
And I want to be
a part of that fire
00:37:58.07\00:38:00.28
as everyone knows I'm sure here.
00:38:00.31\00:38:02.18
I'm talking about the real thing
00:38:02.21\00:38:03.98
because the part of our
message is we talk about the,
00:38:04.01\00:38:07.22
you know, Thy way, O God
is through the sanctuary.
00:38:07.25\00:38:10.02
And many Adventism
and people of the world
00:38:10.05\00:38:11.72
have no idea
about the sanctuary.
00:38:11.75\00:38:13.96
We can follow him.
00:38:13.99\00:38:15.32
Remember, if we look at
in our messages in 1844,
00:38:15.36\00:38:18.39
He left the holy place
00:38:18.43\00:38:20.00
and went into
the most holy place.
00:38:20.03\00:38:22.06
But the
majority of people, what?
00:38:22.10\00:38:24.17
Did not follow Him there.
00:38:24.20\00:38:26.03
And they think they have fire
as it were in the holy place
00:38:26.07\00:38:29.44
where Christ is not
present, He left that place
00:38:29.47\00:38:32.21
and He's in the most holy
place standing before, right.
00:38:32.24\00:38:36.18
What is He standing before?
00:38:36.21\00:38:38.45
Ten Commandments, right,
00:38:38.48\00:38:39.81
he stands His last
move, most holy place.
00:38:39.85\00:38:41.82
And he's pleading our cases
00:38:41.85\00:38:43.39
because we're in the
hour of God's judgment.
00:38:43.42\00:38:45.25
That's right.
Probation is soon to close.
00:38:45.29\00:38:47.96
And I'm so thankful to God
00:38:47.99\00:38:49.36
right now that
when in this time,
00:38:49.39\00:38:51.39
our names could be
coming up very shortly.
00:38:51.43\00:38:53.80
We're living in that time from,
00:38:53.83\00:38:55.33
we know from the
dead to the living.
00:38:55.36\00:38:57.93
And once our name comes
up, it's going to be a verdict.
00:38:57.97\00:39:01.77
He's gonna be pronounced guilty,
00:39:01.80\00:39:04.17
he's going to go and
make the heaven or he--
00:39:04.21\00:39:05.54
or we're not.
00:39:05.57\00:39:06.91
But thank God that Jesus stands,
00:39:06.94\00:39:08.48
if we've accepted Him
00:39:08.51\00:39:09.84
and I'll tell
this people at home.
00:39:09.88\00:39:11.21
You must accept Jesus
as your Lord and Savior.
00:39:11.25\00:39:13.52
You cannot fight
this battle all alone.
00:39:13.55\00:39:15.58
Sin is too heavy.
00:39:15.62\00:39:16.95
There's a price
00:39:16.99\00:39:18.32
and has to be
the blood of Jesus.
00:39:18.35\00:39:19.69
Amen.
00:39:19.72\00:39:21.06
And if we accept Him
as our Lord and Savior.
00:39:21.09\00:39:22.82
When our name
comes up in the judgment,
00:39:22.86\00:39:24.49
Jesus steps forward.
00:39:24.53\00:39:26.29
He puts out those
nail scarred hands, right?
00:39:26.33\00:39:28.93
He says it, "Father my blood."
00:39:28.96\00:39:31.43
That's good
enough for the Father.
00:39:31.47\00:39:33.60
He doesn't see me,
He doesn't see my mess.
00:39:33.64\00:39:35.87
He sees his son. Okay.
00:39:35.90\00:39:37.64
And because I've accepted
00:39:37.67\00:39:39.01
by faith his son and
that great sacrifice.
00:39:39.04\00:39:40.38
He covered us
with His righteousness.
00:39:40.41\00:39:41.74
Yeah, We're covered,
00:39:41.78\00:39:43.11
we had that
robe of righteousness
00:39:43.14\00:39:44.48
that He earned,
that He worked on,
00:39:44.51\00:39:46.92
that He, when He
walked this earth.
00:39:46.95\00:39:49.32
And He says,
"I'm gonna cloth you
00:39:49.35\00:39:51.02
with that robe of righteousness.
00:39:51.05\00:39:52.55
And I encourage
the people of home,
00:39:52.59\00:39:54.02
you say, we are praying
for the latter rain, right?
00:39:54.06\00:39:56.66
We're praying for
that robe of righteousness.
00:39:56.69\00:39:58.76
Remember that
robe of righteousness
00:39:58.79\00:40:00.30
cannot be put upon one person,
00:40:00.33\00:40:02.13
any person with
one un-confessed sin.
00:40:02.16\00:40:05.70
That's a heavy message
most people don't want to hear.
00:40:05.73\00:40:08.00
But it's time, it's
talking about pastor,
00:40:08.04\00:40:09.84
that the
message must be preached
00:40:09.87\00:40:11.37
because sin is the
great issue, is a great issue.
00:40:11.41\00:40:15.31
I want that robe of
Christ's righteousness.
00:40:15.34\00:40:18.31
I know everyone,
God's people would.
00:40:18.35\00:40:19.68
What is sin?
00:40:19.71\00:40:21.58
Because that could
be in anybody's mind
00:40:21.62\00:40:23.25
or is there a text.
00:40:23.28\00:40:24.62
What is it?
00:40:24.65\00:40:25.99
John 3:4,
Transgression is sin, what?
00:40:26.02\00:40:27.92
Sin is the
transgression of the law of God.
00:40:27.96\00:40:30.89
So for anybody who is saying,
00:40:30.93\00:40:32.39
well, sin is an
individual thing for,
00:40:32.43\00:40:34.56
maybe I don't
really look at this as sin.
00:40:34.60\00:40:36.87
So what we do, we
have to have something
00:40:36.90\00:40:39.10
to compare it
to know what it is.
00:40:39.13\00:40:41.10
So the actual Bible
definition which many people
00:40:41.14\00:40:44.47
are shocked and surprised
00:40:44.51\00:40:46.37
is the transgression of the law.
00:40:46.41\00:40:48.31
That's right.
00:40:48.34\00:40:49.68
Right, when we
disobeyed God's laws,
00:40:49.71\00:40:52.11
it's Ten Commandment
law, we transgression,
00:40:52.15\00:40:54.58
so sin is the
transgression of the law of God.
00:40:54.62\00:40:57.15
So it's not
like, well, let's say,
00:40:57.19\00:40:58.52
I think this will
be sin, this isn't sin.
00:40:58.55\00:41:01.16
You shouldn't do this.
00:41:01.19\00:41:02.56
We have to take
it to the law of God
00:41:02.59\00:41:05.09
which is a literally is God's
character revealed through us.
00:41:05.13\00:41:09.23
Of his character.
00:41:09.26\00:41:10.60
And those who are content
00:41:10.63\00:41:14.00
to remain lepers
00:41:14.04\00:41:16.14
which is a
byproduct, by word of sin.
00:41:16.17\00:41:18.44
Those who are
content to remain lepers
00:41:18.47\00:41:21.04
will not be blessed.
00:41:21.08\00:41:22.41
Their condition
will remain the same.
00:41:22.44\00:41:24.65
But the Lord looks
at us in our condition,
00:41:24.68\00:41:26.65
He says, "You
know, I could use you.
00:41:26.68\00:41:29.35
If you want if--
00:41:29.38\00:41:30.75
In our condition, He
finds us where we are,
00:41:30.79\00:41:33.59
but He's not
content to leave us.
00:41:33.62\00:41:35.16
Okay, right now may I ask
you to talk to somebody home
00:41:35.19\00:41:37.66
about that, there's
people who are watching saying,
00:41:37.69\00:41:40.06
I'm really been stirred.
00:41:40.10\00:41:42.10
The Holy Spirit
is working with me
00:41:42.13\00:41:43.47
but I don't know
now, what about me.
00:41:43.50\00:41:45.80
It's sounding
pretty, pretty sober here.
00:41:45.83\00:41:49.64
Tell us about it?
00:41:49.67\00:41:51.01
You know, there are those
that are watching this program,
00:41:51.04\00:41:52.37
you may be driving and
listening to this program.
00:41:52.41\00:41:54.78
Let us bring the
message home tonight.
00:41:54.81\00:41:56.44
One of the reasons why
00:41:56.48\00:41:57.81
our hearts are so
fueled with the passion
00:41:57.85\00:42:00.12
for what God has called us to is
00:42:00.15\00:42:01.58
because we recognize
00:42:01.62\00:42:03.28
that the work is not
going to be done by us.
00:42:03.32\00:42:06.45
The work is going to be
done in spite of us, through us,
00:42:06.49\00:42:09.92
but for the glory of the Lord.
00:42:09.96\00:42:11.49
Okay.
00:42:11.53\00:42:12.86
There may be somebody
here watching the program
00:42:12.89\00:42:14.23
or listening that thinks,
00:42:14.26\00:42:15.60
well, what does a
leper have to do with me?
00:42:15.63\00:42:18.03
Well, leprosy is a
condition that is not permanent.
00:42:18.07\00:42:21.10
You see God is saying, I
want to restore the church.
00:42:21.14\00:42:23.61
I want to take those
lives that are falling apart
00:42:23.64\00:42:26.37
and put them back together.
00:42:26.41\00:42:28.01
Somebody may have lost
their sensitivity to truth.
00:42:28.04\00:42:31.58
Somebody, somebody may say,
00:42:31.61\00:42:33.42
''Well, I was
raised in the church.
00:42:33.45\00:42:35.05
I know all the doctrines."
00:42:35.08\00:42:36.42
You may be in the
most dangerous position
00:42:36.45\00:42:38.32
to know all that you know
and not live up to any of it.
00:42:38.35\00:42:41.66
But the Lord is
saying, you might be a leper
00:42:41.69\00:42:43.32
but I can restore you.
00:42:43.36\00:42:44.79
I can rebuild your broken life.
00:42:44.83\00:42:46.43
I can restore
your broken dreams.
00:42:46.46\00:42:48.06
I can take the things that
are falling apart in your life
00:42:48.10\00:42:50.90
and put them back together
00:42:50.93\00:42:52.27
if you simply
commit yourself to me.
00:42:52.30\00:42:54.50
So tonight, we're calling
people to commit themselves.
00:42:54.54\00:42:57.14
We're not talking about
financial commitment alone,
00:42:57.17\00:43:00.08
because that is
needed to continue the work.
00:43:00.11\00:43:02.24
The Lord knew that, that's
why He gave those four lepers
00:43:02.28\00:43:05.11
all the gold and silver
and possessions of the enemy.
00:43:05.15\00:43:07.98
He knew that's what
the king's household needed
00:43:08.02\00:43:10.42
but He said but
you're lepers, I can use you,
00:43:10.45\00:43:14.09
but I don't want you to
remain in that condition.
00:43:14.12\00:43:15.62
So tonight, if there's somebody
00:43:15.66\00:43:17.16
who has an un-confessed
sin in his or her life.
00:43:17.19\00:43:19.89
Somebody might say the church
has closed its doors to me.
00:43:19.93\00:43:24.23
But then I was saying God
has opened His heart to you.
00:43:24.27\00:43:27.04
Somebody might say,
"I'm beyond repair."
00:43:27.07\00:43:29.70
Well, the Lord
looks at lepers and said.
00:43:29.74\00:43:31.34
He looked at Naaman as a leper.
00:43:31.37\00:43:32.87
And Naaman by responding
00:43:32.91\00:43:34.44
to the promptings
of God's leading...
00:43:34.48\00:43:35.91
Amen.
00:43:35.94\00:43:37.28
Was restored to
the flesh of a baby.
00:43:37.31\00:43:39.65
God wants to restore you
to the place that you can be.
00:43:39.68\00:43:42.38
So, He sees you
not just as you are,
00:43:42.42\00:43:44.52
but He sees you as you can be.
00:43:44.55\00:43:45.95
So tonight, Danny, I
think right now is a good time
00:43:45.99\00:43:47.82
for us to pray
00:43:47.86\00:43:49.19
before we wind up
and rush out of it.
00:43:49.22\00:43:50.83
I think we need
to pray right now,
00:43:50.86\00:43:52.19
because God wants to do
a new thing in his church.
00:43:52.23\00:43:54.86
He doesn't want this.
00:43:54.90\00:43:56.23
You know what they say,
this is 2016, the first live,
00:43:56.26\00:43:58.97
thank you, Pastor
CA, for the New Year.
00:43:59.00\00:44:00.37
Yes. God doesn't--
00:44:00.40\00:44:02.84
One of the best ways to fail
00:44:02.87\00:44:04.87
is bring the old
things into the New Year,
00:44:04.91\00:44:08.04
bring the old, try to put
new wine in old wineskins.
00:44:08.08\00:44:12.31
Okay.
00:44:12.35\00:44:14.02
God wants to restore this,
this fleshy un-converted life.
00:44:14.05\00:44:18.95
So He can pour
into us His Holy Spirit.
00:44:18.99\00:44:21.62
And you know
what's amazing about that,
00:44:21.66\00:44:23.26
I got to go to the
next level before we--
00:44:23.29\00:44:25.43
You see, I discovered
in the studying of that,
00:44:25.46\00:44:28.26
the new wine,
00:44:28.30\00:44:29.63
and the new wineskins
needed to be paired up.
00:44:29.66\00:44:32.33
Because when the wine
was pressed from the vine.
00:44:32.37\00:44:35.60
It was in what they
call active fermentation.
00:44:35.64\00:44:38.34
Meaning, it had juices
that needed to be absorbed
00:44:38.37\00:44:41.21
into the wineskin,
00:44:41.24\00:44:42.58
so that it slowed
down its rotting process.
00:44:42.61\00:44:44.65
Okay.
00:44:44.68\00:44:46.01
So God wants to pour
things into your life
00:44:46.05\00:44:47.98
but He says I can't do it
if you're wineskin is old.
00:44:48.02\00:44:50.92
God wants to do in
your life a new thing.
00:44:50.95\00:44:52.59
So right now,
we're going to pray
00:44:52.62\00:44:54.22
that in spite of
who you were in 2015,
00:44:54.26\00:44:56.69
you can be new in Jesus.
00:44:56.73\00:44:58.23
What does the Bible
says 2 Corinthians 5:17.
00:44:58.26\00:45:00.76
"If anyone is in Christ,
he or she is a new creation."
00:45:00.80\00:45:04.23
Old things, 2015
have passed away,
00:45:04.27\00:45:07.50
behold all
things have become new.
00:45:07.54\00:45:09.70
The Lord can only do
something in your life
00:45:09.74\00:45:12.04
if you commit to the newness
that He wants to be make,
00:45:12.07\00:45:15.54
to make available to you today.
00:45:15.58\00:45:16.91
So we're going to pray right now
00:45:16.95\00:45:18.28
for those hearts
and lives of those.
00:45:18.31\00:45:20.25
No matter how
grievous your sin, leprosy.
00:45:20.28\00:45:23.05
God can restore
you to the place.
00:45:23.08\00:45:25.39
As he said to
Gomer, Hosea's wife,
00:45:25.42\00:45:27.52
"I'll speak comfortably to her."
00:45:27.56\00:45:29.86
And then she will say in
her broken-down condition,
00:45:29.89\00:45:32.43
I'll return to my husband,
00:45:32.46\00:45:34.43
for it was better with
me then than it is now.
00:45:34.46\00:45:37.53
So, brother, sister, church,
friends and family members,
00:45:37.57\00:45:41.54
God wants to do something new.
00:45:41.57\00:45:42.90
Let's pray right now for
you to simply submit your heart,
00:45:42.94\00:45:45.81
say, Lord, I don't
know what I can do.
00:45:45.84\00:45:48.28
You can't do anything.
00:45:48.31\00:45:49.88
He is the one that
restores the leper.
00:45:49.91\00:45:51.45
Don't try to restore yourself.
00:45:51.48\00:45:52.81
Let's pray right now.
00:45:52.85\00:45:54.18
Father in heaven,
00:45:54.22\00:45:56.15
there are those
listening to this program,
00:45:56.18\00:45:57.55
somebody is in his car driving,
00:45:57.59\00:46:00.02
wondering why did I
turned to this station tonight.
00:46:00.06\00:46:03.53
Somebody is at home in
his or her living room,
00:46:03.56\00:46:06.06
maybe a family
is sitting in there,
00:46:06.09\00:46:07.46
maybe somebody that
left the church last week.
00:46:07.50\00:46:10.10
Has said, I'm just not
going back no matter what.
00:46:10.13\00:46:12.60
But tonight,
God has called on me
00:46:12.63\00:46:14.14
not to die in my leprosy,
00:46:14.17\00:46:16.04
not to harbor the
things that have caused me
00:46:16.07\00:46:18.47
in my
relationship to fall apart.
00:46:18.51\00:46:21.04
But to look to the God that
wants to put me back together.
00:46:21.08\00:46:23.68
Amen.
00:46:23.71\00:46:25.05
Father, there maybe
even a pastor tonight
00:46:25.08\00:46:27.72
that's discouraged
about the call upon his life.
00:46:27.75\00:46:30.09
Maybe the devil is
attacking him at his core.
00:46:30.12\00:46:33.46
And he doesn't know
how he's going to survive.
00:46:33.49\00:46:36.12
Maybe his family and his wife
00:46:36.16\00:46:37.56
is right now holding on to hope
wondering what can God do to us
00:46:37.59\00:46:41.53
with the church that so asleep.
00:46:41.56\00:46:43.67
Lord, tonight, you want
to wake up your churches,
00:46:43.70\00:46:46.70
restore Your people.
00:46:46.74\00:46:48.27
Give new vision to Your leaders.
00:46:48.30\00:46:50.27
Restore those whose
hearts in relationships
00:46:50.31\00:46:52.17
have been broken.
00:46:52.21\00:46:53.54
Maybe there's a young
lady tonight that's watching
00:46:53.58\00:46:55.01
or listening to this
program who was put out
00:46:55.04\00:46:57.78
because she had a
baby out of wedlock.
00:46:57.81\00:46:59.48
Lord, You've
impressed me to say that.
00:46:59.51\00:47:01.48
And tonight, she says,
I don't know where to go.
00:47:01.52\00:47:03.55
The doors have been shut to me,
00:47:03.59\00:47:04.92
but Lord tonight
remind that young lady
00:47:04.95\00:47:07.39
that the door may be
shut, but your heart is open.
00:47:07.42\00:47:09.76
That's right.
00:47:09.79\00:47:11.13
Lord, speak to
the hearts of those
00:47:11.16\00:47:12.49
who may have cast her aside.
00:47:12.53\00:47:13.90
Sometimes we think
00:47:13.93\00:47:15.26
that's when the
church must put someone out,
00:47:15.30\00:47:16.70
but, Lord, those are the moments
00:47:16.73\00:47:18.50
when our young
people need the church
00:47:18.53\00:47:20.34
more than ever before.
00:47:20.37\00:47:22.04
Soften our hearts, we
call sin by its right name,
00:47:22.07\00:47:25.17
but you have not
called us to destroy sinners.
00:47:25.21\00:47:27.74
You Yourself said,
00:47:27.78\00:47:29.11
I've not come to
bring condemnation,
00:47:29.14\00:47:32.51
but that through Jesus Christ,
the world might be saved.
00:47:32.55\00:47:33.88
So, Lord, tonight,
00:47:33.92\00:47:35.25
we really believe
this is a day of good news.
00:47:35.28\00:47:36.99
And hour of restoration,
00:47:37.02\00:47:38.72
may we be faithful to
the call upon our lives,
00:47:38.75\00:47:41.66
so that You can restore
us in our leprosy to reflect,
00:47:41.69\00:47:45.73
to resemble and to
reveal to the world,
00:47:45.76\00:47:48.43
the glory and the
righteousness of Jesus.
00:47:48.46\00:47:50.30
And, Father, when we preach
a message that is straight.
00:47:50.33\00:47:53.87
May we do it through love,
00:47:53.90\00:47:55.64
may people not
hear condemnation,
00:47:55.67\00:47:57.74
but may people hear Jesus
saying, I've got eternal life.
00:47:57.77\00:48:00.14
I want to give it to you.
00:48:00.18\00:48:01.51
I paid for it, I want you to
be with me throughout eternity.
00:48:01.54\00:48:04.18
So, Lord, give us words,
00:48:04.21\00:48:05.55
not just of wisdom in scripture.
00:48:05.58\00:48:07.65
But may our voices be
filled with tears and love
00:48:07.68\00:48:10.59
that You have given to us.
00:48:10.62\00:48:12.05
So, Father, forgive
us where we have failed.
00:48:12.09\00:48:14.42
Forgive us where we have lacked.
00:48:14.46\00:48:16.49
Tonight, Father,
restore us that 2016
00:48:16.52\00:48:19.43
may be a year for
not only evangelism,
00:48:19.46\00:48:22.66
but a year of
restoration for Your people.
00:48:22.70\00:48:25.03
Touch you people we ask,
touch Your people once again
00:48:25.07\00:48:28.90
in Jesus' name we pray.
00:48:28.94\00:48:31.31
Amen. Amen.
00:48:31.34\00:48:32.74
Praise the Lord. Thank you.
00:48:32.77\00:48:34.11
You know, I preached
in London looking at,
00:48:34.14\00:48:37.38
we're coming close to
the end of this hour also.
00:48:37.41\00:48:40.32
But I preached "The Age of Do"
00:48:40.35\00:48:43.18
that it's too late to just talk,
00:48:43.22\00:48:45.65
it's too late to
get good thought.
00:48:45.69\00:48:47.62
The dividing line is
now, what are you going to do?
00:48:47.66\00:48:51.39
Christ said of
Mary in Mark Chapter 14,
00:48:51.43\00:48:55.20
"That whatever, whenever
the gospel is preached."
00:48:55.23\00:48:59.20
This act of hers
has to be mentioned
00:49:03.37\00:49:06.47
because of what she did.
00:49:06.51\00:49:08.61
She has done what she could
00:49:08.64\00:49:11.28
and whenever the
gospel is preached
00:49:11.31\00:49:12.85
throughout the whole world,
that which also she has done,
00:49:12.88\00:49:16.18
we've spoken of as
a memorial to her."
00:49:16.22\00:49:18.25
The reason Mary is famous
00:49:18.29\00:49:19.69
is because she
did what she could.
00:49:19.72\00:49:21.99
Okay.
00:49:22.02\00:49:23.36
And that's what
God asked us to do.
00:49:23.39\00:49:25.13
Not to do the superhuman,
00:49:25.16\00:49:26.96
not to do anything outside
of what He calls us to do
00:49:27.00\00:49:30.17
but if each of us.
00:49:30.20\00:49:31.53
Danny, John,
Kenny did what we could,
00:49:31.57\00:49:34.67
just what we can,
00:49:34.70\00:49:36.04
that's what God
has called us to do.
00:49:36.07\00:49:37.44
How quickly the
work would be done.
00:49:37.47\00:49:40.28
God is saying do what you
can, look at what you have,
00:49:40.31\00:49:42.61
look at your
skills, look at your gifts.
00:49:42.64\00:49:44.85
And then yield them for service,
00:49:44.88\00:49:46.21
just do what you can.
00:49:46.25\00:49:47.58
And I will take that and
bless it and multiply it.
00:49:47.62\00:49:50.42
And I will surprise
you with what you can do
00:49:50.45\00:49:52.59
under the blessing
00:49:52.62\00:49:53.96
and the
anointing of Jesus Christ.
00:49:53.99\00:49:55.32
Amen. Amen.
00:49:55.36\00:49:56.69
There is one more
thing, I want to turn,
00:49:56.73\00:49:58.06
I'm gonna go right back to
you, to share your comment.
00:49:58.09\00:50:00.90
I'm sitting in the
studio of a ministry
00:50:00.93\00:50:05.67
that if Danny wasn't
obedient to the vision,
00:50:05.70\00:50:08.60
I wouldn't be sitting here.
00:50:08.64\00:50:09.97
Agreed.
00:50:10.01\00:50:11.34
So we're not
talking about theory,
00:50:11.37\00:50:14.44
we're talking
about what God can do.
00:50:14.48\00:50:15.81
That's right.
00:50:15.84\00:50:17.18
The Adventist church,
if our pioneers didn't move
00:50:17.21\00:50:19.05
to the vision God gave them,
00:50:19.08\00:50:20.48
it would not be able to
work all over the world.
00:50:20.52\00:50:22.85
And so, God is saying to us.
00:50:22.88\00:50:24.85
Look at what I can do,
00:50:24.89\00:50:26.22
I've just given you a
sample of what I can do,
00:50:26.25\00:50:28.52
but I'm simply
calling you to be faithful.
00:50:28.56\00:50:30.59
So, Danny, I think
that my inspiration
00:50:30.63\00:50:34.00
is every time I go in
00:50:34.03\00:50:35.36
and whenever
discouragement comes,
00:50:35.40\00:50:36.73
I say, wait a minute.
00:50:36.77\00:50:39.20
If one, the power of one,
00:50:39.23\00:50:40.80
I think you're talking
about the power of one,
00:50:40.84\00:50:42.77
of one person's faithfulness,
00:50:42.80\00:50:44.31
so I want to--
00:50:44.34\00:50:45.67
We're going to
remember to pray for you
00:50:45.71\00:50:47.04
before the program is over too,
00:50:47.08\00:50:48.41
because the devil
wants to attack you.
00:50:48.44\00:50:49.78
God has, he said,
00:50:49.81\00:50:51.15
"Danny, write down
the vision, make it plain.
00:50:51.18\00:50:53.52
And for 31 years
God has sustained you,
00:50:53.55\00:50:55.22
now into the 32nd year
and November will be 32.
00:50:55.25\00:50:58.79
He wants all the successes
00:50:58.82\00:51:00.59
that God has
placed in your heart.
00:51:00.62\00:51:02.42
Satan wants to attack them
00:51:02.46\00:51:03.83
and cause them all to
be a failure in his name.
00:51:03.86\00:51:07.10
So we need to
pray also for the Lord
00:51:07.13\00:51:08.86
to put a hedge
around you personally.
00:51:08.90\00:51:10.90
Thank you.
00:51:10.93\00:51:12.27
That he won't let
the discouragements
00:51:12.30\00:51:14.24
that will come,
00:51:14.27\00:51:15.60
the dirt that's
going to be thrown on you,
00:51:15.64\00:51:17.67
to become your
final resting place.
00:51:17.71\00:51:20.08
But simply he's saying by faith,
00:51:20.11\00:51:21.91
come on Pastor CA, say it,
00:51:21.94\00:51:23.31
by faith what would
you do with the dirt?
00:51:23.35\00:51:25.15
Shake it all, put it down.
00:51:25.18\00:51:27.22
And possible littler higher.
00:51:27.25\00:51:29.42
Thirty seconds and I've
done my last feel on this.
00:51:29.45\00:51:31.45
But this, when
I-- there's one word
00:51:31.49\00:51:34.52
brought chills in my
chest, tears to my eyes,
00:51:34.56\00:51:39.06
I just want to read it to you
00:51:39.09\00:51:40.43
because it's hard to for
us to imagine where we're at
00:51:40.46\00:51:43.50
in the history of the world.
00:51:43.53\00:51:45.10
And how difficult this
work is going to become.
00:51:45.13\00:51:48.77
And God wants 3ABN
to do by faith now,
00:51:48.80\00:51:51.87
everything possible Six
Testimonies, 22, page 22,
00:51:51.91\00:51:56.85
1900 says this,
"We have warnings now,
00:51:56.88\00:51:59.28
which we may give, a
work now which we may do,
00:51:59.31\00:52:02.98
but soon it will be
more difficult than we can,
00:52:03.02\00:52:07.52
the word is imagine.
00:52:07.56\00:52:09.42
More difficult
than we can imagine."
00:52:09.46\00:52:11.83
And I just went plumb all
through my head and my toe.
00:52:11.86\00:52:15.26
And I said, "God help us to do,
00:52:15.30\00:52:17.47
what You've
assigned us to do now."
00:52:17.50\00:52:19.20
The right time.
00:52:19.23\00:52:20.57
Now this is it,
00:52:20.60\00:52:21.94
this is the
hour, this is the day,
00:52:21.97\00:52:23.30
this with the
leadership of 3ABN.
00:52:23.34\00:52:24.67
Press forward,
let nothing stop you
00:52:24.71\00:52:26.68
from doing what you're doing.
00:52:26.71\00:52:28.04
Incorporate all that you can
to get this message preaching,
00:52:28.08\00:52:30.85
Jesus is going to come soon.
00:52:30.88\00:52:33.45
It's going to be more difficult
than we can even imagine.
00:52:33.48\00:52:35.08
Yeah.
00:52:35.12\00:52:36.72
And we're living in that
now, she was projecting ahead,
00:52:36.75\00:52:40.06
because you go to
a place like London.
00:52:40.09\00:52:42.09
And you are to say,
how do you reach it.
00:52:42.12\00:52:44.33
Time on
television is tremendously,
00:52:44.36\00:52:46.46
you could literally go there
and we talked to Elder Carter
00:52:46.49\00:52:49.90
for what he might
spend 2 to 300,000 dollars
00:52:49.93\00:52:52.93
somewhere around the world.
00:52:52.97\00:52:54.54
You could spend
5 or 6 or 7 million
00:52:54.57\00:52:57.54
comparatively in London,
00:52:57.57\00:52:59.47
to reach the
same amount of people
00:52:59.51\00:53:01.84
and such a diverse
population of people.
00:53:01.88\00:53:05.45
So we're there,
00:53:05.48\00:53:07.08
but it's really
no different, Kenny,
00:53:07.12\00:53:09.68
'cause you know you were
there when the Lord says,
00:53:09.72\00:53:12.05
build a television station
that will reach the world.
00:53:12.09\00:53:14.12
That's right, that's right.
00:53:14.16\00:53:15.49
Right, that will
give an undiluted
00:53:15.52\00:53:16.86
Three Angles' Messages,
00:53:16.89\00:53:18.23
yet there is not one
Seventh-day Adventist
00:53:18.26\00:53:20.33
television
station on planet earth.
00:53:20.36\00:53:22.13
That's right, go on.
00:53:22.16\00:53:23.50
We have no
experience in television at all,
00:53:23.53\00:53:27.17
other than
singing on a few channels.
00:53:27.20\00:53:29.57
But no money, no property,
no equipment, no anything else,
00:53:29.60\00:53:32.47
so it can't be anymore difficult
00:53:32.51\00:53:34.04
and that's what I'm thinking
that London is a breeze now.
00:53:34.08\00:53:37.58
I mean really compared
to that London is a breeze.
00:53:37.61\00:53:40.55
To go in your first
satellite when you had no money,
00:53:40.58\00:53:42.98
you sign a contract that says,
00:53:43.02\00:53:44.45
"You'll pay 50,000 dollars
a month for satellite time.
00:53:44.49\00:53:48.02
And you've not
seen 50,000 dollars
00:53:48.06\00:53:49.92
any one time in your
life together, right?
00:53:49.96\00:53:51.73
That's right. It's true.
00:53:51.76\00:53:53.40
Yeah, We've not seen it together
00:53:53.43\00:53:56.16
and yet you do it and somehow
00:53:56.20\00:53:58.53
31 years later it's still there.
00:53:58.57\00:54:00.97
So what I say about London,
00:54:01.00\00:54:02.50
or any other
major city in the world.
00:54:02.54\00:54:04.54
We don't need to spend
too much time studying about,
00:54:04.57\00:54:06.74
we'll be discouraged.
00:54:06.78\00:54:08.11
We'll say, oh, well,
there's no way to reach.
00:54:08.14\00:54:09.54
No, there is.
00:54:09.58\00:54:10.91
Everybody has a
homing device built in us
00:54:10.95\00:54:13.45
that says we're sojourners,
00:54:13.48\00:54:14.82
we're strangers here
and that heaven is our home.
00:54:14.85\00:54:18.12
Everybody's in need of a savior.
00:54:18.15\00:54:19.89
They just don't know it.
00:54:19.92\00:54:21.26
So people are out looking
00:54:21.29\00:54:22.62
all over here, there, everywhere
00:54:22.66\00:54:24.36
trying to serve
all kinds of gods,
00:54:24.39\00:54:26.09
but there's only one creator
God that the tomb is empty,
00:54:26.13\00:54:28.80
the rest of them,
you can go visit him
00:54:28.83\00:54:30.67
or visit tomb but you don't.
00:54:30.70\00:54:32.30
When you go to
Jerusalem we were there,
00:54:32.33\00:54:33.80
they say that's the tomb,
00:54:33.84\00:54:35.17
I don't know, if
that's one or not.
00:54:35.20\00:54:36.54
With any of the
tombs, they say he's there,
00:54:36.57\00:54:38.01
they're all empty,
00:54:38.04\00:54:39.37
because Jesus is
now ever interceding
00:54:39.41\00:54:41.61
at the very right
hand of the father
00:54:41.64\00:54:43.35
for you and for me.
00:54:43.38\00:54:45.41
Two young men, 31 years ago
00:54:45.45\00:54:49.62
walked up to a
spot not believing,
00:54:49.65\00:54:55.69
believing by faith
that God can do it.
00:54:55.72\00:55:01.06
Two older men 31 years
later... Be careful with it now.
00:55:01.10\00:55:04.97
Two older men, 31 years later...
00:55:05.00\00:55:06.33
He said he'd preach the truth.
00:55:06.37\00:55:08.84
Older men 31 years
later are sitting at a spot,
00:55:08.87\00:55:13.41
amazed at what God has done.
00:55:13.44\00:55:16.01
And God gets all the
credit, all the glory.
00:55:16.04\00:55:18.31
And we talk about things
00:55:18.35\00:55:19.78
that we don't
take any of the credit
00:55:19.81\00:55:21.15
except for the
bad things that go on.
00:55:21.18\00:55:22.68
And the blessings on the go.
00:55:22.72\00:55:24.25
Absolutely, and we
give God all the honor
00:55:24.29\00:55:26.29
and glory and praise
and I hope you do too.
00:55:26.32\00:55:28.36
And tonight, God has
something big for you to do.
00:55:28.39\00:55:30.99
Maybe you can't get out and do.
00:55:31.03\00:55:33.09
You can join 3ABN
our evangelistic team.
00:55:33.13\00:55:35.96
The blessing is on the go team.
00:55:36.00\00:55:37.80
As you support 3ABN,
and we send you tools
00:55:37.83\00:55:40.50
to help you share
with those around you.
00:55:40.54\00:55:43.94
God has
something special for you.
00:55:43.97\00:55:45.74
Don't let the devil,
devil rob you of your joy,
00:55:45.77\00:55:48.84
because that's
what he comes to do.
00:55:48.88\00:55:50.68
But remember,
"Greater is He that's in us
00:55:50.71\00:55:53.18
than he that is in the world.
00:55:53.21\00:55:54.68
Great peace have
they which love thy law:
00:55:54.72\00:55:56.72
nothing shall
scare them, hurt them,
00:55:56.75\00:55:58.59
offend them, discourage them."
00:55:58.62\00:56:01.19
And we can do
that, all we have to do
00:56:01.22\00:56:03.09
is trust Jesus, submit,
commit our lives to Him,
00:56:03.12\00:56:06.49
confess our sins to Him,
00:56:06.53\00:56:07.86
He's faithful and just
to forgive us from our sins.
00:56:07.90\00:56:10.27
Cleanse us from
all unrighteousness.
00:56:10.30\00:56:12.00
Go and tell what
God has done for you.
00:56:12.03\00:56:14.80
There's a crown awaiting you.
00:56:14.84\00:56:17.51
And that's my hope and prayer
00:56:17.54\00:56:19.44
that each and every
one of us can be there.
00:56:19.47\00:56:21.24
And what a joy to sit
with you guys right here,
00:56:21.28\00:56:24.08
because normally
if we have guest,
00:56:24.11\00:56:26.05
we have a run sheet
we call it that says
00:56:26.08\00:56:28.68
things about the guest
or what they want to know.
00:56:28.72\00:56:30.39
We come out here,
00:56:30.42\00:56:31.75
and we didn't
have any run sheet.
00:56:31.79\00:56:33.12
We said, I don't know,
let's talk about London.
00:56:33.15\00:56:34.92
He picked out a few pictures
just see where the Lord leads.
00:56:34.96\00:56:37.09
Yeah. That's right.
00:56:37.13\00:56:38.46
I don't know about
you, but I think God has led
00:56:38.49\00:56:40.23
because He's led on me.
00:56:40.26\00:56:41.96
He's convicted me.
00:56:42.00\00:56:43.53
He's given me new
vision, courage and strength.
00:56:43.57\00:56:47.87
Thank you for your
love and your prayers
00:56:47.90\00:56:49.67

00:56:49.70\00:56:51.64
as we endeavor

00:56:51.67\00:56:53.68
of the kingdom
into all the world.
00:56:53.71\00:56:55.28
Amen.
00:56:55.31\00:56:56.64
Well, our time has fast slipped
into eternity, gentlemen.
00:56:56.68\00:56:59.71
Allow me in closing to
wish you both grace and peace
00:56:59.75\00:57:03.05

and Savior Jesus Christ.

We'll see you again soon.
Good night and God bless You.
00:57:04.45\00:57:07.19
