00:10 We are back for hour number two.
00:13 The first hour went so quickly. 00:14 And again, we have to ask for forgiveness so many times 00:16 because we are sort of-- 00:18 I don't want to say horsing around, but we are just-- 00:20 we enjoy each others company. 00:22 And, you know, sometimes during these little brakes, 00:25 some history comes out that one did not know about-- 00:27 Yeah, you're just like, now, you mean, 00:28 you don't want to tell them about it, that's fine. 00:33 One day, we had to do a show, and I think we were at-- 00:36 just how everybody got here. 00:39 You know, we've talked about it, 00:40 but I don't think we've done on camera, the different-- 00:44 Actually I'm doing some interviews, 00:46 Yvonne and I are interviewing number of you-- 00:49 we're gonna find out a lot of that background 00:51 to on the today programs. 00:52 So we'll get some of that there. 00:54 That's good, because people ask that all the time, 00:57 you know, what is your story, how did you get there? 00:59 Yeah. That will be exciting. Yeah, absolutely. 01:01 And here's how you got here, 01:03 that's what we were talking about right before. 01:05 And they saw us laughing, when we come back. 01:07 See I thought it was settled when we sang, 01:09 when you ate my food at my house that made me think-- 01:11 No. 01:13 I thought that was, but evidently was not the truth. 01:14 Oh, no, no, that wasn't the end of... 01:16 We came back from there and Mollie just kept on, 01:19 and she kept calling you, talking to you, and she said, 01:22 "We got to get this man here." 01:24 So I just let it go, I said, 01:25 well, if that's the Lord's will. 01:27 So she got you here. Yeah. 01:28 Then after she got you here, I said, 01:30 "Yeah, I think, this gonna work." 01:31 But the reason I was sowed on him 01:34 was somebody that you knew well told me, 01:36 that you were another Owen Troy. 01:40 I absolutely thought they were with Owen Troy. 01:43 So if somebody would put you in that same category, 01:46 then I knew, we needed you too. 01:48 Praise the Lord. Okay. 01:49 And I thought it was Danny all these years. 01:52 That's what he just said, man, I hurt his feelings, 01:54 right before we come out. 01:55 I said if Mollie hadn't kept on, 01:57 you wouldn't have been here. 01:58 Now that may not be, you know, all the way, 02:00 but I was trying to get your attention. 02:02 You did, you succeeded, yeah. 02:04 But I was supportive of it, I was supportive of it. 02:06 Praise the Lord. Perhaps we have to move on. 02:09 All right. And press on. 02:11 Now, you have been hurt now. 02:13 Here, let me hug you and kiss you. 02:15 I love you C.A. Thank you. I love you Danny. 02:18 At any event, Miss Quinn. Yes Mr., Mr. what's your name? 02:24 That we love so much. Dr. C. A. 02:26 Dr. C. A. Yes, indeed. 02:28 She is the maven of blesses on the go-go evangelism. 02:31 And, want to give it to you to give us a little update. 02:34 Because I know you and Danny have the compared numbers, 02:37 and you have some exciting news as we move into, 02:39 as we leap into 2016. 02:42 God has been blessing this initiative, has he not? 02:44 He has indeed, and I have to just say first. 02:47 You were mentioning Danny, that how-- 02:49 you know, about the joy of coming to work 02:51 and about loving one another 02:53 and being friends with one another. 02:56 I have always enjoyed my time here at 3ABN. 02:59 I mean there was never been a time I haven't enjoyed. 03:02 Well, some getting ready for G.C. maybe. 03:05 But I have to say, 03:06 since we have started the blessing on the go, 03:08 and you can verify this with my husband. 03:10 I'm a happy person by nature, but I mean, 03:14 I get up in the morning and I am praising the Lord 03:16 and as we're praying, all the way here I am praying 03:19 and thanking God. 03:21 I'm just, I don't know why, God has reawakened 03:24 a real spirit of thankfulness in me. 03:26 And it's because of the go evangelistic team, 03:29 there's just something that clicked in me 03:32 and we're just so excited 03:33 and we want to thank each and everyone of you. 03:36 There's nearly a 2300 of you out there now. 03:40 And that is in just a short time that, 03:42 I'm very hopeful 'cause, I'm praying 03:45 that there will be 5,000 by June, 03:48 and 10,000 by the end of the year. 03:50 I think we're gonna make it. Absolutely. 03:52 But, if you are just hearing 03:55 about the blessing is on the go evangelistic team 03:58 for the first time. 03:59 Let me just briefly explain. 04:01 You can become member of this team by registering 04:06 to make monthly recurring donation to 3ABN. 04:10 Now that supports 3ABN's evangelism around the world. 04:15 It supports these major events that we're having. 04:18 But we also for a donation of any amount, 04:20 we'll send you a monthly tool, 04:23 so that you can evangelize within your family 04:26 and with your friends, and your neighborhood. 04:28 And that tool could be a Bible study. 04:31 It could be this coming-- 04:34 Well, I am a head, 'cause we stay couple of months ahead 04:37 but we've got some Bible DVDs, sermon DVDs coming out. 04:43 But then we're getting ready to send out another book. 04:46 When you join, you get a certificate 04:48 that says you're a member of 3ABN's Go Evangelistic team. 04:52 And then you also get a copy of Danny Shelton's book, 04:56 "the Blessing is on the Go." 04:58 I've heard you say that since we first came 05:01 and we know that it's true, 05:02 I mean, if Moses hadn't put forth his rod 05:06 and taken a step out 05:07 or if the priest hadn't stepped into the Jordon, 05:10 God wouldn't have done the miraculous things He did. 05:12 So we are very, very excited. 05:14 And here is I want to explain one thing. 05:17 I made a comment that I believe this is going to help 05:20 ushered in the latter rain. 05:23 And someone took me to task over that, 05:25 and they said, "No one can tell God 05:29 when to send the latter rain." 05:30 I agree. 05:32 But we can do things or not do things 05:34 that prevent the latter rain. 05:36 That postpone I should say, not prevent, 05:39 but postpone the latter rain. 05:41 I think what's happening 05:43 and I'm getting the most testimonials, 05:45 I'm getting right now 05:46 are about people who are saying, 05:48 "These tools are changing me." 05:51 Because they are studying them themselves 05:54 before they hand them out. 05:56 And just being the member of the Go Evangelistic team 05:59 is changing people, 06:01 because their focus is getting off from themselves 06:04 and on to others. 06:05 They're starting to really open their hearts 06:08 to receive God's love for the lost and the suffering 06:11 and to go out and share. 06:13 And I believe with all of my heart, 06:16 I'm not gonna retract that statement 06:17 because I believe with all of my heart 06:20 that God wants to get each one of us 06:23 involved in fulfilling the Great Gospel Commission. 06:26 Amen. 06:27 And I believe that as we do, we become more Christ like, 06:32 we expand and open our hearts, 06:36 that God can pour His love into our hearts 06:39 and we become more like Christ. 06:42 We are actually taking on His mission if you will. 06:46 And so, I believe 06:48 that this is how God is going to get His people ready 06:52 for the outpouring of the latter rain. 06:55 Working for the souls of others is part of God's plan 07:00 to perfect the souls of the saints. 07:02 And I want the brethren to get that picture prepared, 07:04 the one, the lady in London 07:06 who brought her Go Evangelism team certificate members 07:09 and took a picture together. 07:10 If you can just get that ready, because this Go Evangelism, 07:14 not just North America or South America, 07:15 it's worldwide. 07:17 And we're in the world week, is that not so? 07:18 Yes. 07:20 And this is the lady in London, 07:21 who, in fact there were many people who are members, 07:24 but she brought her certificate. 07:25 She wanted us to see. 07:27 There she is, she brought her certificate 07:28 and she wanted to see that. 07:30 I've got my certificate and-- 07:31 Okay, Mollie's got a letter. Mollie's got a letter? 07:33 I do. 07:35 This is from Joe D, from Morris, Oklahoma. 07:38 And she says, "I have pledged at least 10 dollars monthly, 07:42 however I feel blessed at least 10 times over 07:46 by all the wonderful materials I have just received 07:49 to review and share. 07:51 I wanted to have this month's offering 07:53 reflect your station's offering to me. 07:56 I can't afford not to give donations to 3ABN. 08:01 Reading Danny's book "Blessing is on the Go" 08:04 I know that God will take care of my needs, 08:07 as I step out in faith 08:08 to take care of the needs of 3ABN and other ministries. 08:13 God has laid upon my heart through watching. 08:15 Thank you for this delightful way, 08:17 you are providing to join hands in ministry with you. 08:21 My prayers are with you. So thank you Joe D very much. 08:25 Amen. Amen. 08:26 You know, it's a matter of just to go over it again. 08:30 Whatever amount the Holy Spirit impresses you 08:32 to donate to 3ABN on a monthly basis, 08:35 when you commit to that, that's when we as Shelley said, 08:38 we send you the certificate. 08:40 And then, every month after that we will send you 08:44 a "Blessing on the Go" an evangelistic tool 08:47 may be singing, may be preaching, 08:49 might be teaching, could be whatever, 08:51 but it's something we want you to use, 08:53 and then we want you to share it 08:55 with your neighbors, folks at church, 08:57 wherever you want to. 08:58 But once you... 08:59 it helps you, then you share it to, you pass it on. 09:02 That old song takes a spark whatever, you know, 09:05 to keep fire, to keep it going. 09:06 And that's kind of what we want this to do, 09:09 is to continue to go. 09:10 So many of you now are joining up, 09:12 I've been signing almost every day 09:15 in the last two, three months. 09:16 Yvonne, sometimes I do 40 or 50 09:18 and we'll find out what the actual figures are, 09:21 but we know they are at least two and half times amount 09:23 before we started these monthly donors. 09:26 Thank you so much for that. 09:27 Some of you give 50 a month, some give a 100. 09:29 There's a few actually given $1000 a month 09:32 that weren't monthly donors before. 09:34 It says the Lord wants me to do this. 09:37 And so, but yours may be the $10 and we actually, 09:42 somebody sent 75 cents, I think, wasn't it, Mollie. 09:46 And we said you know what, 09:47 we said whatever amount you give, 09:49 they are monthly donor 09:51 and they have given in the past, 09:53 not every month, but sometimes 50 cents or 75 cents. 09:57 So we said, hey, your team member 09:59 is just like the rest of us. 10:00 Every bit of it helps. 10:02 It's not just about the money. 10:03 Of course, the money helps us take the gospel. 10:05 But it's about you, the tools we can give you 10:08 to help you as you then share them with others 10:11 to take this gospel into all the world. 10:13 And so, this has been a great thing. 10:15 Everywhere we go now, Mollie, Shelley, all of you, 10:19 people are showing me theirs 10:21 and people have actually sent pictures 10:23 and some folks on Facebook 10:24 can put up their pictures on their page or websites, 10:28 their Blessing on the Go certificate, 10:30 you know, and that's really neat to see that. 10:32 What a great idea, because that's the one thing 10:34 I want to encourage our Go evangelistic team members 10:39 is get others to get involved with this. 10:42 You know, you were saying it is around the world. 10:44 What I'm hearing from so many people 10:46 is that there are excited people from England, 10:48 people from New Zeeland and Australia. 10:51 There are in other places. 10:53 But they are excited because now they can donate 10:56 very simply through PayPal. 10:58 Thank you. 10:59 And this makes donating, if you-- 11:02 wherever you leave easy. 11:04 But if you want to register, just go to 3ABN.tv 11:08 and you can click on the banner 11:09 that says "the Blessing is on the Go." 11:11 And it will take you, it explains the program, 11:14 it is not a program, forgive me. 11:16 This is the movement. Yes. 11:17 It explains the movement. 11:19 You can click on the donate and then you just sign up, 11:23 you don't have to have a PayPal account. 11:24 You can do it by credit card, 11:26 but however you want to do this, just join us. 11:30 And let's get this message to all the world, 11:32 because Jesus said, it is going to go into every nation 11:36 before He returns. 11:37 I think He is kind of been waiting on us 11:39 to get it together. 11:40 Our PayPal donations have gone way up the last few months, 11:44 haven't they, Mollie? 11:45 Just way up because people are understanding 11:47 'cause so many, we travel around the world, 11:49 people say I'd love to give, 11:51 but I don't know how to get my money there. 11:52 I don't know how to get it changed 11:54 to what have you, you don't have to worry about that. 11:55 Now, just go to 3ABN, she said our website. 11:58 And PayPal will tell you how to do it, 12:01 and it will convert it for you. 12:02 And it's really very simple. 12:04 So people are responding to this, 12:05 thank you so much. 12:07 And of course, you can always, if you don't have internet, 12:10 you can always mail 3ABN 12:13 and we'll send you up donation by mail, 12:15 and just express your desire 12:17 to be a Go Evangelistic team member. 12:19 Speaking of donations 12:20 or gifts for this evening is a check book, 12:24 is what it is cover, not a check book. 12:25 It's a check book cover. 12:27 And it says compliments 12:29 of Three Angels Broadcasting Network. 12:32 And so it has a phone number, PO Box, 12:34 so we would like you to have this. 12:36 All you have to do is contact us. 12:38 Here you can call us at 618-627-4651, 12:42 or free offer at 3ABN.tv. 12:46 Amen. 12:47 Shelley, thank you so very much. 12:48 She is indeed infectious in her joy. 12:52 And this is such a great, great program. 12:55 Pastor John, fresh from the London experience, 12:59 we showed some pictures last week that I took 13:01 and I know you took some things, 13:03 and Angie took some things this week. 13:04 Walk us through the flavor of what you experienced 13:07 over the last several days? 13:08 Well, London was exciting, 13:10 it was cold but it was exciting. 13:13 We were met with cold weather and rain, 13:15 but I think that shower was a blessing 13:18 because, when we saw the turnout on Sabbath morning 13:21 and Sabbath afternoon, Sabbath evening 13:23 and Sunday morning. 13:25 It was a clear indication that people in London 13:28 were not just coming to view 3ABN, 13:31 but many pulled us over. 13:32 For a matter of fact, a young lady pulled me over 13:34 and grabbed my arm on Sunday afternoon. 13:36 She said, "The Lord sent someone here to London 13:41 to help us carry on the work, and we are excited about it." 13:44 And, you know, the atmosphere was just infectious. 13:49 And we took a couple of video rolls 13:51 that I've strung together 13:52 and then after we look at those 13:53 and I'll go ahead and kind of give a synopsis 13:55 of what was happening there in London. 13:57 But these three video rolls and we'll show them, 13:59 the first one, we're gonna talk over that, 14:02 because the venue that we talked about, 14:04 this is one of the venue leaders. 14:08 There we were looking at the venue 14:10 that the Copper Box Auditorium, where after the two week, 14:15 many series are gonna be done 14:16 throughout the churches in London. 14:18 They're gonna have the final weekend 14:20 begin and end at this particular location. 14:22 That's a great facility. 14:24 And that's right now where they had some Olympic games there 14:27 and they play basketball there. 14:29 Matter of fact, they said, that lot of the... 14:31 they are actually starting a professional league in London 14:34 to bring a lot of American basketball players. 14:36 But they practice at this particular facility. 14:38 So that's where we kind of saw, what does Lord have in store, 14:41 and that's the one that the conference chose, 14:43 and to have this series begin 14:46 and then seats about 7500 people. 14:49 So they are looking at planting seeds 14:50 to get the work started there in London 14:52 through this particular venue. 14:55 Then on Saturday night, at the largest church Brixton. 14:58 Brixton. That place was packed. 14:59 I mean, we're gonna go ahead and let you watch this. 15:01 I think it's about three minute clip. 15:03 And you'll hear some audio, 15:05 each of us that were over there. 15:07 And then the third clip will be Danny on Sunday morning. 15:09 But let's go ahead and look at the second clip. 15:11 And you'll get an idea of what was happening there. 15:23 In Christ alone, who took on flesh 15:29 Fullness of God in helpless babe 15:34 This gift of love and righteousness 15:39 Scorned by the ones He came to save 15:44 'Till on that cross as Jesus died 15:50 The wrath of God was satisfied 15:55 Need joy when I'm wearing the frown 16:03 He is my hope 16:07 In the midst of journey's pain 16:11 And-- 16:14 So I sing 16:18 Not because I feel like singing it 16:23 And I praise him 16:27 Though the end I may not see 16:34 For and ever, I'll lift the name of Jesus 16:41 Jesus reaches down 16:45 And he lifts me. 17:25 We got a team coming back from third to 17th September, 17:30 and hire the Copper Box Arena in the Olympic Park, 17:35 for a run day on 3rd of September, 17:38 and we needed to get all of our ministry 17:40 is like accomplished. 17:41 And then on the final Saturday 17th of September, 17:44 we'll have a date friendship, we'll come together 17:47 to enjoy what has happened through our campaign. 17:49 So we have campaigns planned for Croydon, 17:52 Brixton, Central London. 17:55 Dr. Williams has came, Dr. Williams, 17:56 will you stand up please, so I see you in the audience?

19:05 Yeah, at least 1200, 1300, yeah. 19:08 And it was full. 19:09 But it was full, but the conference president, 19:11 that was Elder Richard de Lisser, 19:13 who was talking about the churches 19:15 that, right now are presently committed 19:17 for the 2016 Evangelistic series, the smaller ones. 19:20 He's gonna be adding some, as he goes along. 19:22 But this last one, our show Sunday morning, 19:25 when we were at Newbold College. 19:26 And this is Danny, and look at the crowd, 19:29 before you look at this, you could see that, 19:32 there was a lot of people there. 19:34 Danny was talking about the vision of 3ABN, 19:36 and the ministry that began. 19:38 But there were so many people there that, 19:40 they had to make an announcement. 19:42 They said, "We are already exceeding the fire code, 19:45 and you get a chance to see that 19:46 in just a few seconds here. 19:49 So that was at the Newbold College, 19:51 they said, "There's an overflow room, 19:53 then there is another building across the campus, 19:56 please if you don't have a seat, go there 19:58 because if anything happens, 20:00 we would not be able to get out of here." 20:02 And quite an impressive turnout. 20:04 And they said, they've never had 20:07 that number of people respond to anything 20:09 pertaining to evangelism, which showed 20:12 that they were not only interested in evangelism, 20:15 but they were excited that the Lord impressed Danny 20:18 to bring the 3ABN team. 20:20 This is pastor C.A., he ended by saying, 20:22 "If ever you're in a position, 20:23 where something difficult is happening, 20:25 and people want to throw dirt on you. 20:27 Because you're doing God's will, 20:28 he would say to the people, shake it off, 20:31 press it down and rise up little higher." 20:35 And that was interesting. 20:36 We had a wonderful Sunday morning. 20:38 But the seeds are planted, Danny, 20:40 and we're excited about what's happening in London. 20:41 Absolutely. 20:43 You know, the Lord says, "Cast your bread upon the water 20:47 and it will return after many days." 20:49 We know that, whenever God adjusts the vision 20:51 that we had, and the plans that you had in the beginning. 20:54 I think you may want to talk about that. 20:56 God augmented that, 20:58 but one of the things we pointed out, 20:59 any time God adjusts anything, 21:02 it's gonna be better than we even thought about. 21:04 So that's coming down September this year. 21:07 Yeah, we and originally had talked 21:09 that we're gonna do like this huge auditorium 21:12 for the entire meeting, evangelistic, 21:15 but when we look at the church growth in Europe, 21:19 it's the division, it's one of the slower growing. 21:23 I don't mean that in negative way, 21:25 but the churches, the conference president, 21:29 so why don't we go to lot of the churches individually. 21:32 bring 3ABN speakers will hold basically revivals. 21:36 And so, to me all of a sudden, it hit me, 21:38 you know, this is probably the best, because why, 21:41 if you gonna do something public evangelism, later on, 21:45 where you are in big auditorium, 21:46 just spending a lot of money. 21:47 You're doing lot of work to get a lot of people. 21:49 We want to make sure that our churches 21:52 are spiritually healthy. 21:53 And so we worry about physical, 21:56 but we want to be spiritually healthy. 21:58 And so therefore, this revival and all these churches, 22:02 I believe we're gonna bring people 22:03 much closer to Jesus. 22:05 When people come into our churches, 22:06 they're gonna now see those of us 22:08 like a lot of churches everywhere in the world. 22:10 Sometimes we have our own things going 22:12 or we are not in unity. 22:14 I believe this can really bring the churches 22:18 in that conference, in a spirit of unity. 22:21 And when people come in, they're gonna see, 22:23 there is folk there who loves Jesus, 22:25 and want to got out and tell their friends 22:26 and neighbors about it. 22:28 So God's will be done. 22:29 And I believe this is-- 22:31 I accept this instead of the bit evangelism, 22:34 you know, the big meetings at the time. 22:36 And I trust the conference president Elder de Lisser. 22:40 I mean, God has put him there for such an hour as this, 22:43 and so we're there to support. 22:45 Whatever we can do, he wants us to bring 3ABN speakers over, 22:49 and so that's what we're planning on doing. 22:51 And you know, one Pastor C.A. pointed this out. 22:54 Ellen White says a lot about London. 22:56 But the one quotation I want to segue with is this one, 22:59 she says, "London has been presented to me 23:02 again and again, 23:03 as a place in which a great work is to be done." 23:06 That was in 1901, how much bigger is London now? 23:09 If the work was great, it needed to be done in 1901, 23:11 how much greater is it today? 23:13 Yeah, absolutely. So praise the Lord for that. 23:15 Glad to be involved. Yeah. 23:17 God is gonna bless and we're gonna watch him 23:20 do some wonderful things. 23:21 And we're getting calls it's too long 23:23 to mention places, but we're getting calls 23:25 to go other places, and do our work for the Lord. 23:28 They are coming in. 23:30 And God has something very special, 23:32 he's gonna do to with for and through this ministry. 23:36 We haven't heard from Pastor John Dinzey 23:39 in a long while. 23:41 When last we met, he's always on the go 23:44 and he has more frequent-flyer five miles 23:46 than I think anybody because he is always on the go, 23:48 you talk about blessing on the go. 23:49 Blessings on the go. 23:51 He might be the most blessed person here, 23:52 'cause he's gone all the time doing for the world. 23:56 So we wanted to bring him 23:57 on this opening program of the year, 23:59 to kind of talk about, 24:00 what happened last year in Latino. 24:02 And things are going and growing for 3ABN Latino. 24:05 So, Johnny, give us a little flavor 24:06 of what's been happening in the last a little bit? 24:09 Well, a little bit will do. 24:11 We are blessed, 'cause God is still on the throne. 24:14 Amen. 24:16 And, you know, we are over 1300 cable companies. 24:21 We began in the year about February, 24:25 Sister Irma Murray, our cable specialist, 24:28 went to Columbia with other staff 24:31 including Jorge Jaque, our production manager. 24:34 And there we were blessed 24:39 to go to Cartagena, Columbia. 24:43 And that's a cable convention, 24:45 cable executives from different countries 24:47 go to this convention every year. 24:48 They have several in different countries. 24:51 We went to the one in Columbia, 24:52 and we say, we have over 1300 cable companies, 24:56 because we do not have all the information 25:00 on other cable companies. 25:02 And this is one of the example that we received, 25:04 when they got there, 25:06 we were trying to get cable companies 25:08 interested in 3ABN Latino. 25:10 But 40 of them said, we already have 3ABN Latino. 25:14 It's just that we haven't told you we have it. 25:18 So, but we need to get you to give us authorization 25:23 because the government comes around every so often 25:25 and says, how many channels you have, so many? 25:27 You have, let me see your list of authorizations 25:31 to have these channels on. 25:33 And so 40 of them said, we need authorization from you. 25:35 Praise the Lord. 25:37 And so that was 40 that we didn't know about. 25:40 Plus another 40 that said, I don't have it, I want it. 25:43 And so it's a tremendous blessing, 25:45 so that's 80 cable companies there. 25:47 Can you believe it, Danny, and forgive me, John, 25:49 40 companies just decided, we're gonna take this. 25:51 This is good stuff. We're just taking it. 25:54 Yeah. 25:55 We're not asking anybody, we're not telling anybody, 25:57 we're just taking it. 25:59 You know, and so they just took it. 26:00 And that is, that shows you the hunger out there. 26:04 And that you have a product that people want. 26:07 You know, that makes me think too. 26:10 We are a large television network 26:12 that goes all over the world. 26:14 In our marketing department at this moment 26:16 consists of two ladies. 26:18 We don't have a marketing department 26:20 that is going all over the world, 26:22 so who has to do the marketing for us 26:25 throughout the world. 26:26 That's God by the power of His Holy Spirit. 26:28 And He's doing an incredible job 26:31 much better than we could do 26:32 if we had 10 hard hitters in our marketing department. 26:37 So we were busy enough to ask the conference president, 26:40 the conference president came to help us. 26:42 And he had two secretaries come and help us at the booth, 26:46 because so many people were passing by. 26:48 And it was a tremendous blessing, 26:50 of course after that, 26:51 you have to send the satellite receivers. 26:53 And we thank the Lord, and praise the Lord 26:54 for those of you that have contributed 26:56 to make this possible because when you are talking about. 26:58 Some of these are satellite receiver plus modulator. 27:02 It can be somewhere between $200 and $400 27:04 depending on the cable company, depending 27:06 'cause sometimes they specify, I use these type of receivers, 27:09 or these type of modulators 27:11 and we try to supply those for them. 27:13 And that's-- 27:15 that's, you are talking about 27:17 hundreds of thousands of more viewers. 27:19 And what we've seen is that God continues to help us grow. 27:23 We are in the US, we are on over 100-- 27:26 We say about 140 television stations. 27:30 About last week, 27:31 I saw a little list of other TV stations 27:35 that I didn't know about that are carrying 3ABN Latino. 27:38 And today, no, yesterday, I was talking to a gentleman 27:42 that is putting together another box, 27:44 like the MySDA TV box with channels, and they say, 27:49 we want all the 3ABN channels on this box. 27:51 Praise God. 27:53 And so, we are talking to them, and Danny, 27:56 we're gonna bring that to you, and so that you can look at it 27:58 and see it if we want to be on that box. 28:00 And they said, all we want to do 28:02 is bring the everlasting gospel to millions of people. 28:06 Praise God. 28:07 So the Lord is just opening doors for 3ABN 28:11 and we just praise the Lord. 28:12 We talked in the past 28:14 about people that are carrying even satellite dishes 28:17 to places that are so remote, 28:19 that some of them don't even have electricity. 28:21 So they install solar panels, 28:24 so these people can have access to 3ABN 28:27 and people from the community come to their house, 28:30 because that's the only house that has solar panels, 28:32 that's the only house that has these types of things on. 28:34 And so, we just praise the Lord for these pioneers 28:37 that are doing this type of-- 28:38 I'm calling them pioneers because I've never heard of-- 28:40 We have these pictures, I wish I would have brought them 28:42 so I can show it to you, give you another time. 28:44 And so these type of things are happening. 28:46 I would like to show 28:49 some of the things we did that last year 28:51 and one of them is our annual event, 28:54 evangelistic event, where we bring, 28:57 like we do, we used to do 28:58 with the Ten Commandments weekend. 29:01 And so we have series on the second coming. 29:04 And this time it was called the "Second Coming: 29:06 Every Eye Shall See Him." 29:07 So we went to Montemorelos University, 29:10 and this is the view of the university 29:12 and between Idalia and I is pastor Ismael Castillo, 29:17 he is the president of the university. 29:20 And they said, "We are overjoyed to hear 29:23 that 3ABN wants to come to our university again 29:25 and it was a beautiful, beautiful series. 29:29 They in that university have so many groups, soloists, 29:36 quartets, the bands, 29:38 they participated in the whole weekend events. 29:40 We had 20 hours of programming broadcasted live from there. 29:44 And tremendous blessing, because they-- 29:48 As a matter of fact, all the music that was done, 29:51 it was with live instruments. 29:54 And it was a joy to see that, 29:56 and plus, we had speakers that are already on 3ABN, 29:59 like pastor Robert Costa, Pastor Franklin Salas, 30:04 we also had Pastor Alejandro Bullon, 30:06 Pastor Alejandro Bullon's son. 30:09 We also invited one of the speakers 30:11 that was not able to make it, Pastor Stephen Bohr. 30:14 Because of a snow storm, 30:15 because this was held in February, 30:16 when you went to Florida. 30:18 And he was coming to Mexico, 30:19 but he was not able to make it because of the storm. 30:21 These are some children, 30:23 maybe we can listen to them sing praises to the Lord. 30:48 And so we had here, 30:51 that is Pastor Robert Costa also preaching. 30:53 He is the global evangelism leader 30:57 for the General Conference. 30:58 And we had pleasure to work with him. 31:01 He is a person that we praise the Lord to work with, 31:04 because he is evangelistically minded. 31:07 And so, the children were singing, 31:10 because Jesus is coming again. 31:13 And so, it was a tremendous blessing. 31:15 The reason we went there is 31:17 because 3ABN Latino has been on cable in that area 31:20 for over 10 years. 31:21 Praise God. 31:23 And 45 minutes, 31:24 about an hour and half away is Monterrey, 31:25 the third largest city in Mexico. 31:28 We are also on cable there. 31:30 So people were coming from all an hour and half 31:33 every night to see what was happening there. 31:37 And it was a tremendous blessing. 31:38 People were baptized, as a result of this 20, 31:42 18 sermons on the second coming of Jesus Christ. 31:45 And so, we have another video we would like to show to you. 31:48 This one was organized 31:50 by the Northeast Conference of Mexico, 31:53 and the North Union of Mexico. 31:56 They invited us to come and work with them 31:58 to put on the air 32:00 an evangelistic campaign inviting our viewers 32:03 that are in the Monterrey area. 32:05 This was in October of 2015. 32:09 And the speaker was Pastor Alejandro Bullon. 32:11 Danny, I know you're well familiar with him, 32:13 I don't know, in fact it goes back to 1988 or 1987. 32:16 Yeah, around 1990 at least 88, 89 somewhere. 32:19 And so Pastor Bullon is one of the few evangelists, 32:24 Spanish evangelist that, 32:25 if you say Pastor Bullon is in this stadium, 32:28 people will come from all over. 32:30 Sometimes travel four, five hours 32:31 to come to the meetings. 32:32 And in this Monterrey, 32:34 we went to the arena of Monterrey, 32:37 which holds a little over 12,000 people. 32:39 So we'd like to show you a video 32:41 of what happened in Monterrey 32:44 and as you see this video, you will see a... 32:48 They are building the set that was on. 32:51 So we'd like to ask them to roll the video, 32:54 so that we can show you what took place there. 32:57 This is the city of Monterrey. 32:59 Over four million people in the area. 33:02 We tried to get the video of the mountain 33:03 that is very famous there, 33:05 it's called a Horseshoe Mountain, 33:07 but this is the entrance to the Arena Monterrey. 33:10 And people were asked to bring tickets. 33:13 They want to get a tally of how many people 33:15 were coming in every night. 33:17 And so, it was a tremendous endeavor. 33:21 When I say tickets, the tickets were free. 33:23 If you didn't have a ticket before you got there, 33:24 they'll give you one at the door. 33:26 And we thank our staff 33:29 that was able to put this video together. 33:30 They put a little camera, 33:33 that was recording 33:34 for about 24 hours, what was going on. 33:37 And that's why you see this fast movement of things 33:40 being put together here. 33:42 So what we saw was that people were coming 33:46 from all over Monterrey to this evangelistic campaign. 33:50 And Pastor Alejandro Bullon was the speaker. 33:53 They put together two like swimming pools, 33:57 where people can get baptized 33:58 and it was entitled Victory in Jesus. 34:02 Amen. And we praise the Lord. 34:04 They invited Idalia and I to be the host because, 34:07 people see us on 3ABN. 34:09 And Idalia and I as... 34:10 before the program starts, 34:12 sometimes we went through the hallways 34:13 and people from all... 34:15 anybody in the hallway would say, 34:16 "Oh, we know you're on 3ABN, can we take a picture." 34:19 And that's because they watch us on 3ABN 34:21 and that encourage some people to come 34:24 that were not even Adventist. 34:26 Here's another choir at this event 34:29 that was Montemorelos University choir 34:31 which was one and half hour away 34:32 they came to participate and did all the music. 34:35 But this place was packed every night. 34:39 Started on Wednesday through Saturday 34:42 and they say Wednesday, you'll have, Pastor Bullon say, 34:46 "Well, you are on TV here." 34:48 Well my experience has been, 34:50 that if you have an evangelistic campaign 34:52 where you are on TV. 34:54 The people stay home and watch this thing. 34:56 But it started... so Wednesday you get a crowd. 34:59 This is Pastor Alejandro Bullon, 35:01 he's preached all over the world. 35:03 And he has a simple message, 35:05 that he lifts up Jesus and as it's written, 35:10 he says, "And I, if I be lifted up, 35:12 I'll draw all men unto me." 35:14 And people when you're making appeal, 35:15 people would come from all over the auditorium, 35:18 coming forward, asking, 35:20 yes I would like to be baptized. 35:22 Yes, I want to give my life to Jesus Christ. 35:23 The very first night, 35:25 one gentleman came to the meeting, 35:28 the last he said, 35:30 "This is the last religious meeting I'm going to, 35:33 because after this, I'm going to kill myself." 35:36 And what he heard that night changed his life, 35:40 he had so many problems, he said, "I don't know, 35:42 how this is gonna... 35:43 how even God can solve this, 35:45 but the Lord put hope in his heart 35:48 and so that was Wednesday, and on Friday, 35:51 he was baptized along with his family. 35:52 Amen. 35:54 And so we praise the Lord for... 35:56 Over 300 people were baptized 35:58 and many more came on the last day saying, 36:01 "I'm not ready right now, 36:03 but in the future I would like to be baptized. 36:05 Over 12,000 people came, 36:07 and one other things that impressed us 36:12 with the conference say... 36:14 we are going to go forward by faith. 36:15 By the way, I have to say this, 36:18 the first three people baptized were all people that learned 36:23 the doctrines of the Bible watching 3ABN Latino. 36:26 Amen. 36:28 And Pastor Bullon, he and I were just praising the Lord, 36:31 Jorge Jaque also was there, 36:33 because Pastor Bullon would tell a story. 36:35 Every night he would have one or two baptism, 36:37 where he tells the story of the first baptism, 36:40 and then he will ask people, 36:41 "If you also want to have the joy that they have. 36:43 Look at the joy in that person's heart 36:45 as he comes up out of the water." 36:46 And hey says, "That joy can be in your heart tonight, 36:48 so if you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, 36:51 you can have that same joy. 36:53 Then he would tell the story of that person, he said, 36:56 "This person came here 36:58 because they watched 3ABN Latino." 36:59 I'm like, "Praise the Lord." 37:01 So the first three people baptized, 37:03 and then many others afterwards were because of 3ABN Latino. 37:06 So we praise the Lord for that. 37:07 Praise God. Amen. 37:09 I have you here a candle, I'd like to close with this. 37:10 Okay. 37:11 This candle is from Italy, 37:14 and Jorge Jaque brought it back, 37:16 Brother Joe Baker also went, 37:18 and two other production staff went there 37:23 because Pastor Robert Costa invited us to participate. 37:27 And on here it's written some words 37:30 that I think nobody here can read. 37:33 But we know what it says. 37:35 This it has to do with the Waldenses 37:37 and Pastor Robert Costa has had in his heart 37:40 for several years to tape a documentary 37:43 about the life of Waldenses and what they, 37:46 what they-- we can learn from them. 37:48 He used the basis of their history 37:50 to bring you doctrines 37:51 that are light to shine into darkness 37:53 because that's what this candle says, 37:55 "A light that shines in the darkness." 37:57 And we know some of the history of the Waldenses, 37:59 because they have seen it on 3ABN. 38:01 And so, five half hour programs were taped and were-- 38:06 they're almost done with production. 38:08 But I think it's a symbol also what 3ABN does. 38:11 We bring a light and shine it in the darkness. 38:14 This is all this means. 38:16 3ABN is a light that shines in the darkness 38:18 to bring people to Jesus Christ. 38:20 Amen. Wow, amen. 38:21 That is so powerful. 38:23 You know, there is a scripture in Philippians 2, 38:25 I think it's 14-16, but anyway, 38:28 Paul is talking about 38:29 how to be ready for the kingdom. 38:31 But he says that, "You will shine 38:34 as a bright light in the universe 38:37 as you hoe forth the word of God." 38:41 And what you just said, that's what I'm so, 38:42 why I'm so excited about the Go Evangelistic theme 38:45 and everything that's going on here, 38:47 is because everyone's getting involved 38:50 in holding forth the word of God. 38:52 And God is up there... 38:53 just imagine He looks down here, 38:55 we look up and see the stars shining, 38:57 some not quite as bright as the others. 38:59 He's looking down and He says, "Look at these stars, 39:02 here's Johnny in and Pastor Costa, 39:06 and here is our Go Evangelistic team, 39:09 and we're shining like stars in the universe, 39:12 in this dark world. 39:13 It is wonderful. 39:14 Yeah. It is wonderful. 39:16 I'm gonna ask Robert 39:17 to get that picture of Miriam in B.C., from London. 39:20 You know, everywhere you go, 39:22 we run into people who have come to the Lord through 3ABN 39:25 and it is so refreshing. 39:26 We did little interview 39:28 but there was so much room noise. 39:29 You really can't hear it clearly. 39:30 So I just want to put the picture of... 39:32 there she is. 39:34 She is African, she is from Ghana or Kenya. 39:37 And she said, 39:38 "I used to try to go to work on Sabbath or go shopping, 39:41 I would get these headaches 39:42 and I would get sick to my stomach, 39:43 I couldn't understand 39:45 why won't the Lord let me go out of house on Saturday. 39:46 What is in and she didn't know anything 39:47 about Adventism or Sabbath. 39:50 She just, "I can't function on Sabbath, 39:51 I can't do anything." 39:53 So she would just stay home 39:54 and one day she turned on the television 39:56 it said, "boom 3ABN." 39:57 And it all came together for her. Wow. 39:59 And she traveled to lunch, and now resides in London, 40:02 she is the member of the Adventist Church. 40:04 And the Lord just gave her these terrific headaches. 40:06 And He was preparing her for Sabbath. 40:08 Said, now, I feel great on Sabbath. 40:10 No problem. 40:11 Everything is quite fine on Sabbath now. 40:13 So every where you go, 40:15 you see our God is using this ministry, Danny, 40:17 to touch lives and change lives. 40:20 It's a wonderful thing. 40:21 Amen. Praise the Lord. 40:22 And it's people touching people. 40:24 I mean that's really what it all is, 40:25 is for each of us to accept our privilege, 40:29 it's our responsibility, but our privilege to say, 40:32 you know what, it's my... 40:34 not only duty, but my privilege, 40:36 my responsibility to tell others 40:38 what I've received. 40:40 If you've not really received Jesus Christ 40:42 as Lord and Savior of your life, 40:44 you really don't have a relationship with him. 40:46 You can't give something you don't have. 40:48 So what we encourage you 40:50 is to really submit and commit your life to Jesus. 40:53 I had somebody from Australia that keeps writing me and says, 40:56 "You don't tell people 40:57 they have to repent from their sins." 40:59 Amen. 41:00 And so I said, "No, we really do that quite often. 41:03 We don't think it's our job to beat people over the head, 41:06 that's between them and God." 41:07 But of course when you come to the foot of the cross, 41:10 you're confessing your sins. 41:12 And you're asking God for forgiveness. 41:14 Then you go and tell, what He has done for you. 41:16 And that's your great asset. 41:18 It's your own personal testimony. 41:19 But I would encourage each and everyone of you, 41:22 I grew up very legalistic, it was an Adventist home, 41:25 my mother became an Adventist the year I was born. 41:27 My father joined the church about four years later, 41:30 was very stubborn about doing it. 41:31 The Lord had to do some really, you know, 41:34 allow some things to happen. 41:36 And finally get my dad's attention. 41:37 So in 1955, you know, 41:39 he joined the Adventist church also, 41:42 but when I think backing my folks, 41:47 they were good people, they love Jesus, 41:49 but it was a lot of do's and don'ts. 41:51 You don't do this, and I didn't understand why. 41:53 So when you're 12 years old 41:55 and you really love to play basketball, 41:57 I wasn't really sure, 41:58 why I couldn't go out and play some on the Sabbath, 42:00 other than I told you not to. 42:02 Where the Lord said, "don't do it." 42:04 So as I have gotten older, I have asked the Lord, 42:07 "I want a relationship", like my daughter Melody had 42:10 when her mother was killed in an automobile accident 42:12 at 11 years old. 42:14 She was cuts and bruises, and she literally said, 42:17 "I'm gonna sing for mama's funeral." 42:20 I said, "Who're we gonna get to sing?" 42:21 she said, "I would sing, mama would want me to, 42:24 and Jesus would want me to." 42:26 So that morning, we actually recorded her 42:28 there at the church, 42:29 where her mother was and so she could sit down. 42:32 But I said, "Lord, I want that kind of relationship, 42:34 I don't want the one that I'm having." 42:36 When we go play soft ball, 42:38 play right up till the sundown. 42:39 And on Sabbath evening, I wait till and as soon as 42:42 it's over and I'm back out on the fields. 42:44 I want to be able to have a relationship 42:46 like this little 11 year old girl. 42:48 And the Lord has given me that, 42:50 because He'll give you what you ask for. 42:52 And so, what I'm encouraging people, 42:54 what we all are here, 42:55 when we say the blessings on the go. 42:57 You can't go tell anybody something you don't have 42:59 or convince somebody of something. 43:01 So we want you to share Jesus, the blessing is your testimony. 43:05 But it is your testimony. 43:06 People don't care how much you know, 43:08 how much you memorize, 43:09 Revelation all these scriptures. 43:11 They want to know what's gonna get me 43:13 through this sin sick world today. 43:16 I need help, where is God when I need him? 43:19 And you have the answers, 43:20 'cause you've already found it. 43:22 And you know, the answer is in the Lord Jesus Christ. 43:24 So when you come to the foot of the cross, 43:26 you confess your sins. 43:27 God is faithful and just to forgive us from our sins, 43:30 and to cleanse us from all, how much, all unrighteousness. 43:33 Amen. 43:34 So therefore, 43:36 there is where the blessing is on the go, 43:37 not that you're or me 43:39 or any of us are worthy of anything. 43:41 But God honors what we do. 43:43 So it takes faith to go. 43:45 So it says, faith is small as a grain of mustard seed, 43:48 He will honor that. 43:49 So we want you to be a part of our 43:50 "Blessing is on the Go" 43:52 but we want you to come to the foot of the cross, 43:54 and it's not always easy to do, to see yourselves, 43:57 for what we really are? 43:59 I struggle with it. 44:00 It's bad enough to look in the mirror. 44:01 But then when you look to spiritual side, 44:03 it's even tougher. 44:04 You know, that you have to say, "Lord, you know, change me. 44:08 Let mould me in your image." 44:11 Because that's why you say, if I be lifted up. 44:13 That's not me just saying, serve Jesus, whatever. 44:15 It's when people see the reality of Jesus Christ 44:19 working in and through our lives. 44:20 Amen. 44:22 That's what draws them. Absolutely. 44:23 And it also is what rejects them. 44:25 But at least they are draw to Jesus, 44:27 to the attention there, but it's up to the individual, 44:30 either I accept the Lord, or I don't want to do it. 44:33 But we've done our part. 44:35 And that's why we encourage everybody to do that. 44:37 And as a member of the Go Evangelistic team, 44:41 that Shelley is just always so enthusiastic about. 44:45 Your job or your responsibility isn't to do 44:50 what the Evangelistic team here at 3ABN is doing, 44:53 which is going over to London. 44:56 Going to Europe and doing the big evangelistic campaigns. 45:00 What we are encouraging you to do is 45:02 evangelize that neighbor next door, 45:04 or to evangelize those in your family. 45:08 We're giving you the tools, 45:09 because if everybody does their part, 45:12 then the whole gets accomplished. 45:14 What is it... 45:15 it's not... 45:17 I don't want to call it or tried saying, but it's, 45:19 if that which I am a part of 45:22 is more important than that part which I play. 45:25 As we all come together and do our part, 45:28 then we're going to see the whole world evangelize 45:31 for the Lord Jesus Christ. 45:32 You know, you'll never preach a sermon 45:35 in that big auditorium over there in London. 45:39 However, that neighbor next door 45:41 needs to hear about Jesus Christ 45:43 just as badly as the whole city of London. 45:46 With how many people did you say it was? 45:48 Eight and half million. Eight million. 45:50 But if eight million people 45:52 that are watching and listening today, 45:54 go next door, we've reached just as many people. 45:56 Amen. 45:57 And that's, and by evangelize all we're saying is share. 46:01 Share the tools, share what God's done to you. 46:04 Just love the people, let God reach. 46:06 Salvation belongs to the Lord, you don't have to say, 46:09 the more you've got to do is to introduce some tool. 46:11 Plant good seed and He will reap the harvest. 46:14 Amen. Well said. 46:15 Mollie, in the letter that you read earlier, 46:17 I think that the person said, "I can't afford not to give." 46:20 Is that what she said? 46:22 Yeah. That's what she said. 46:23 Yeah. I can't afford not to give. 46:25 I mean that's fantastic. 46:26 If you think about that, I mean that's someone 46:27 that's really sold out for evangelism. 46:29 And I know we've heard from number of people 46:31 that have contacted 3ABN 46:33 saying that they are blessed by the tool. 46:36 And then they themselves of course are sharing it. 46:38 And like you're saying to, you know, 46:39 it's our own personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 46:42 That's the key, because then we can represent 46:43 Christ as well. 46:45 So, yeah, it's a great, 46:46 this the Go Evangelistic team member, 46:48 all this is so exciting 46:50 because I have noticed a little change at 3ABN, 46:52 a big change I should say to, 46:53 lot of excitement about spreading the Gospel, 46:55 even amongst the staff. 46:56 And I think that's really neat to see. 46:58 Speaking of that, how does that affect 47:00 in your department, 47:01 tell us about your department? 47:02 Oh, I tell you, I work in a wonderful, 47:04 wonderful department called the production department. 47:06 I have great staff to work with. 47:08 It's fun to work with all of you too, 47:10 because I work with most of you everyday, every week. 47:13 And a great staff to work with. 47:14 In production, this last year 2015, 47:17 it was a busy year. 47:18 We had the G.C. 47:20 session, kind of seem to be the big point in above. 47:21 We started out in the early part of the year 47:23 with winter camp meeting down in Florida. 47:26 And just went from there. 47:27 But it was a great year, 2015 and Pastor C.A. 47:30 you mentioned earlier in the first hour 47:31 about this being the first behind the scenes for 2016. 47:35 And so as I look at the calendar, 47:38 for this year, it's a busy one. 47:39 But a lot of exciting programs 47:41 that are scheduled throughout all the networks here at 3ABN. 47:44 And of course we as the production department 47:46 are excited to be participating in each one of those. 47:51 You know, 2 Corinthian 13:8 says, 47:53 "For you can do nothing against the truth, 47:56 only for the truth. 47:58 Only for the truth. 47:59 There's a saying that we all heard before, 48:00 "If you can't beat them, join them." 48:03 But it comes from the proverb that simply says, 48:05 "If you are tired, 48:07 because you cannot defeat who you're fighting against, 48:11 band together with them." 48:12 So they shortened it to, 48:14 "If you can't beat them, join them." 48:15 You know, Danny, we are part of something, 48:17 all of us including the camera people, 48:19 a part of a cause that will not fail, 48:22 'cause you cannot do anything against it. 48:23 Yeah. 48:25 So if you can't do anything against it. 48:27 It makes only eternal sense to be a part of. 48:31 Mollie, I like what you just said, 48:33 the individual part we play is not as important 48:35 as the total... 48:37 That means we are a part of, 48:38 is more important than that part which we play. 48:40 Thank you. 48:42 And when we all do our part, the whole gets accomplished. 48:44 That's the body concept. Yes, it is. 48:46 Calm assurance that it gives us. 48:48 There are people, I actually know people, 48:49 who spent more than decade 48:51 trying to destroy this ministry. 48:52 Oh, I know them. 48:54 They haven't figured it out yet that it's not the people. 48:56 It is God's ministry. 48:58 God's ministry. Amen. 48:59 So you can do all you want, you can throw everything, 49:01 you want to throw at somebody. 49:03 But God's ministry as long as... 49:05 the message God has commissioned us to do 49:07 the ministry is gonna go forward. 49:09 That's right. 49:10 It's not the message is important, 49:11 but people want to waste all their time, 49:13 trying to downplay. 49:14 There had been books written, everything else literally. 49:16 Oh, yeah. 49:17 Folk hardly believe that, to destroy 3ABN, 49:20 to bring whatever they can do, 49:22 and 3ABN continues to grow. 49:23 Praise God. 49:25 And financially, and the support of people, 49:28 and the amount of evangelism, the homes reached, 49:31 growing every year. 49:32 It's amazing. 49:34 Is it because we're perfect? 49:35 No, absolutely not, neither you. 49:37 But it is because we decided, 49:39 you know what, this is God's work, 49:40 we're gonna do what we can do with blessing is on the go. 49:43 So if you're one of those that's wasting your time, 49:46 you don't want to talk about your neighbors, 49:47 your friends, your enemies, 49:48 everybody else either in front or behind their back. 49:50 Don't worry about it. Don't do all that stuff. 49:52 Concentrate on being a vessel of honor for Jesus. 49:55 That's right. Amen. 49:56 Lord, I want to go, tell the world about you, 49:59 'cause someday you're gonna stand before, 50:01 and I'm gonna stand before the Lord Jesus Christ. 50:04 And do I want to be mudslinger or do I want to be 50:07 part of "The Blessing is on the Go" team. 50:09 So I'm just encouraging all of you there but, 50:12 I'm amazed that people can spend years 50:15 trying to destroy rather than to build up. 50:18 And we have to say one thing, they are persistent. 50:20 But God is still on the throne. Amen. 50:22 And we see the blessings everyday. 50:24 We want you to enjoy the blessings of God, 50:27 if you don't already, mean if you do, 50:29 you know what this is about. 50:30 For those of you who don't try... 50:31 He says try me, prove me here. 50:33 But that's not just in your finances, 50:35 but as you go forward, God wants to bless us. 50:37 Absolutely. Each and every one. 50:38 We have to put ourselves in a position to be blessed. 50:41 "Lord forgive me, I'm a sinner. 50:43 Now what do you want me to do?" 50:45 God will impress you what to do, I promise you. 50:47 Amen. And your life will be changed. 50:49 And as H.M.S Richards... 50:50 I'm sorry, while you're taking out a letter. 50:52 Yeah. 50:53 We will finish your statement. Yeah. 50:54 As H.M.S Richards encourages us to do, Danny, 50:58 what we're gonna do? 50:59 Stay about our work, 51:01 just gonna keep our hand to the plow 51:03 and we're not going to fight. 51:05 What he said? 51:07 I think, he calls it the devil's dogs. 51:09 We're gonna just stay about our work. 51:10 Amen. Now you can settle later. 51:12 Yeah. 51:13 And what you're saying that, 51:14 you know, it's the Balaam principle. 51:16 You cannot curse what God has blessed. Okay. 51:18 You know, you are either part of the building committee 51:19 or the wrecking crew. 51:21 And you cannot curse what God... 51:22 and has nothing to do with us. 51:23 No. The blessing is on the ministry. 51:25 We happen to be on the battlements 51:27 at this point in time. 51:28 But when we go off scene, 51:30 should the Lord delay His coming. 51:32 God will put a new set of people in here, 51:33 who will do his will, who'll be blessed, 51:35 because the blessing is on the go, 51:37 it's on the ministry. 51:38 And you cannot curse what God has blessed. 51:40 The blessing is on the go forward, 51:42 and he said, 51:43 "The enemy you see today, you'll see no more forever." 51:47 Wow. Go forward. 51:48 Amen. 51:50 I would like to go back about 26 years. 51:56 I came here in 1989, 51:58 and I don't remember if it was late '89 52:00 or beginning of 1990, 52:03 I already gave part of the story away. 52:05 A gentleman called and said, 52:07 he had watched one of the programs, 52:09 and he said, "That program is against blank movement. 52:14 And it's a moment of corruption. 52:16 I have to just summarize it as that, 52:18 and there I almost go, praise the Lord, 52:20 but I contained myself. 52:22 And he said, "Well, 52:23 I don't know who you people are, 52:24 who are you people?" 52:26 I said, "Well, we are Seventh-day Adventist." 52:27 He said, "Well, I can only tell you this, 52:30 I'm a man of great influence, 52:33 and you're not gonna be on the air very long." 52:36 And I said, "Really, well, let me take your... 52:38 may I please take your name, 52:40 and maybe at least the city you are calling from?" 52:42 Yeah, take their name, there's somebody threatening you. 52:46 That's right. 52:47 At least take your name to write your complain down, 52:49 and I'll bring it to administration, 52:51 that's not important. 52:52 What is important is that I'm a man of great influence, 52:55 you're not gonna be on the air very long. 52:56 After that phone call ended, I said, "Well, 52:58 who is this man, 53:00 why does he have power to take us off the air?" 53:03 And I said to myself, you know what, 53:05 I don't think that man can do anything, 53:07 because God said, this is gonna go to all the world. 53:10 3ABN is supposed to take the undiluted 53:12 Three Angels' messages to all the world. 53:14 In 1990... 1989, we were on one satellite, 53:18 one downlink in Salem, Illinois. 53:20 Yes. 53:21 And one cable station in San Diego, California 53:24 from 2 to 6 a.m. 53:25 Yeah. 53:27 And now we are on, what? 53:28 Is it nine satellites covering the whole world. 53:30 Hundreds of TV stations, thousands of cable stations, 53:33 internet, all over the world. 53:35 Radio, internet, dish, networks... 53:36 Nothing against the truth. 53:38 When God is done with 3ABN, that's when 3ABN stops. 53:40 That's right. 53:41 So saying that I say, 53:43 we do need the prayers of people, 53:45 because 3ABN has made a recommitment, 53:47 a declaration, evangelism in 2016 and beyond. 53:51 Yeah. This is the year of evangelism. 53:53 Year of evangelism. 53:55 So we need the prayers 53:56 because we know the devil doesn't like 53:57 for people to do evangelism. 53:59 Yes. 54:00 But, we're gonna do it, 54:01 because that's what Lord said to do. 54:03 Go, because the blessing is on the go. 54:04 It sounds like the resistance 54:05 and the persecution and so forth is nothing 54:07 but fertilizer that makes us grow. 54:09 Amen. That's God for you. 54:10 All right. So you want a good letter. 54:12 Indeed we do. 54:13 Let me do a good letter, 54:15 "I'm a long time viewer of your programs, 54:17 I have learned so much regarding the Bible, 54:20 and Bible truth. 54:21 Thank you. 54:23 I'm a Sabbath keeper, 54:25 but not a Seventh-day Adventist, 54:27 and as such, do not have a church home, 54:29 although I do worship online." 54:31 And I just wanted to encourage you 54:33 that so many people do, 54:35 find their nourishment from viewing 3ABN online. 54:40 So thank God for that. 54:41 I got one more, and I know we're almost out of time, 54:44 but let me do this one, then I'm through. 54:45 Please do. 54:47 "I want to tell you, 54:48 how 3ABN has touched my heart, 54:50 I grew up an Adventist. 54:52 But my husband and I left the church in 2005. 54:55 This past April, a pastor worked with us, 54:58 and we rejoined the church. 54:59 Two weeks later my husband died, 55:01 I was devastated, 55:03 but I ordered cable and found 3ABN. 55:06 Between 3ABN and my church family, 55:09 I have never felt closer to God. 55:11 I want to thank you 55:12 for reaching out to people's hearts. 55:14 Amen. Amen. 55:15 Here is the encouragement. 55:17 If you're not being attacked by the enemy, 55:19 you're not doing anything right. 55:20 Okay. 55:22 I just want to say, for those who were watching on the G19 55:27 "Dare to Dream", 55:28 you can still watch "Dare to Dream." 55:29 You can be on Roku, you can get MySDA TV box, 55:33 which is really, really great to have. 55:36 The internet, the computer, I mean there is... 55:39 iPhones or iPads. 55:41 Yes, yes. 55:42 I mean so, we're not off the air, 55:44 we're just not on the G19. 55:45 So you can find a way to watch. 55:48 You know, in the words of song, Danny, 55:50 His truth is marching on. 55:53 And we praise God for it. Amen. 55:54 Well, our time is getting away from us, man. It is. 55:58 It says one minute, is that true? 56:00 That's true. We've been here two hours. 56:01 We've been here two hours. 56:02 We've been her two hours. 56:04 So on behalf of our Pastor John Lomacang, 56:06 Greg Morikone, John Dinzey, Yvonne Lewis, Shelley Quinn, 56:12 Mollie Steenson, Danny Shelton, 56:14 our founder and friend and all around good guy. 56:17 We need to pray for this guy, you know, 56:19 because the Lord is attacking him 56:21 in so many, many ways. 56:23 Not the Lord. Not the Lord. 56:24 But God will strengthen you. 56:25 I'm sorry, I said "the Lord", the Lord is sustaining you... 56:28 Sustaining me. And the devil is attacking you. 56:29 Yeah, that's right. Praise the Lord. 56:31 It's the way that works. You got that straight, yeah. 56:32 Lord is sustaining, devil is attacking. 56:33 Yeah. That's right. 56:35 Alright, praise the Lord. Now we want to pray for C.A. 56:36 Oh, yes, yes, pray, 56:37 give me the Lord, I'll pick up my brain here. 56:39 All of you, we want you home to pray for us. 56:40 We want to pray for you, also. 56:42 And in fact, we just go out, send our prayers. 56:45 C.A will just pray 56:46 and we'll say good bye to you now. 56:47 Let's just pray for the folks at home. 56:49 God knows the needs. 56:51 And we'll join together with you. 56:53 Whatever your need is, God wants to bless you. Amen. 56:55 Shall we pray? 56:56 Gracious Father, as we close this program, 56:59 we certainly do not close our hearts 57:00 which are opened up to you. 57:02 We thank you Lord for what you've done in the past. 57:04 And for the promise of your even greater blessings 57:07 in the future. 57:08 Father we ask you to keep us, bless our founder, 57:11 bless each and every member of the team, here at 3ABN. |
