00:06 ♪ >> HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO
00:12 3ABN "TODAY LIVE." AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. 00:15 WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A GRAT TIME SO FAR. 00:17 >> WE HAVE. >> WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT 00:21 CAMP MEETING, OF COURSE, THE THREE ANGELS' MESSAGE IS THE 00:25 FOCUS ON THE. THE MUSIC PROJECT. 00:27 WE STARTED ABOUT PHOENIX, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF WONDERFUL 00:31 THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE DEVIL 00:36 HATES IT WHEN YOU ARE OUT DOING GOD'S WORK. 00:38 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF OUR 00:44 SPEAKERS GOING THROUGH DIFFERENT SICKNESSES, OR -- YOU KNOW, 00:49 PNEUMONIA OR FLU OR DIFFERENT THINGS HAPPENING. 00:56 RICK ALWAYS USED TO SAY, IF YOU ARE NOT BUTTING HEADS WITH THE 01:02 DEVIL, YOU MUST BE RUNNING ALONG BESIDE HIM. 01:06 AND I FOUND OUT EVERY TIME WE REACH OUT TO DO SOMETHING BIG IN 01:10 EVANGELISM -- I WANT TO GIVE A BIG PRAISE TO THE LORD, BY THE 01:14 END OF LAST YEAR, WE WERE IN THE BLACK. 01:17 >> AMEN. >> BUT AS WE PUT PLANS FOR ALL 01:20 OF THESE MEETINGS IN PHOENIX -- THIS COSTS TREMENDOUS 01:25 AMOUNTS OF MONEY, AND OUR NEW CD, OUR FINANCES HAVE BEEN THE 01:32 LOWEST THEY HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL YEARS. 01:34 I DON'T KNOW WHY, AND CAN'T EXPLAIN IT, OTHER THAN I KNOW 01:38 THE DEVIL WANTS TO DISCOURAGE US, IF THE MONEY IS NOT THERE, 01:43 MAYBE THEY WON'T GO AHEAD BY FAITH. 01:45 AND WE JUST SAID WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. 01:48 WE KNOW GOD IS LEADING. HE WANTS US TO DO THESE PROJECTS 01:51 SO WE'RE GOING FORWARD, SO WE'RE ASKING YOU TO PRAY AND ASK THE 02:00 HOLY SPIRIT WHAT HE WOULD HAVE YOU DO. 02:05 YOU CAN HELP THROUGH PRAYER AND THROUGH YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT. 02:10 >> AMEN. >> SO WE THANK YOU IN ADVANCE 02:13 FOR WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO. >> AMEN. 02:17 >> WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT PHOENIX, AND I KEEP HEARING 02:21 MIRACLES AND EXCITEMENT. I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO YOU, 02:25 PASTOR JOHN, AND LET'S HEAR SOME OF THESE THINGS, AND ENCOURAGE 02:28 US THAT GOD IS ALIE AND ON THE THROWN. 02:31 >> WELL, EVERY NIGHT WAS DARREN CHALLENGE. 02:34 I THINK THE MESSAGES THEMSELVES SET AN ATMOSPHERE. 02:39 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE BEGAN AT THE HOTEL WITH, MY WIFE AND I 02:47 ANGIE, IS WE PRAYED. I SPENT FROM -- WAKE UP UNTIL 02:51 THE EVENINGS, JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE MEETINGS JUST TO 02:56 FINE TUNE, EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THESE MESSAGES WERE DONE IN 03:00 LONDON, I COMPLETELY REDID THEM FOR PHOENIX. 03:05 BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SERVING OLD FOOD. 03:10 SO IT TOOK UP A LOT OF TIME. BUT I SO MUCH APPRECIATED JUST 03:14 BEFORE WE LEFT THE HOTEL, MY WIFE WOULD SAY, I WANT TO PRAY 03:19 FOR YOU, AND SHE WOULD PAUSE ME RIGHT AT THE DOOR. 03:22 I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU BEFORE WE LEAVE THIS HOTEL ROOM THAT GOD 03:26 WILL BLESS YOU TONIGHT. AND MICHAEL YONKIN, EVERY 03:33 EVENING HE WOULD COME IN AND SAY PASTOR I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU. 03:38 AND A COUPLE OFF EVENINGS, HE WOULD SAY WHAT ARE YOU PREACHING 03:47 TONIGHT. AND I TOLD HIM. 03:48 AND HE SAID THAT EXPLAINS IT. THE DEVIL IS REALLY FIGHTING US. 03:53 BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME NIGHTS I WAS PREACHING, AND THE SCREENS 03:58 TO MY RIGHT, SOME OF THE PANELS WOULD BE GOING OUT. 04:02 >> THE LED SCREEN. >> OKAY. 04:04 >> IT WOULD BE CUTTING OFF. AND I WAS WONDERING WHY 04:08 EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING TO THE RIGHT, AND I'M LIKE, I'M RIGHT 04:13 HERE. AND MICHAEL YONKIN CLIMBED UP 04:21 AND JUST HIS FEET WAS STICKING OUT. 04:23 I'M THINKING AM I NOT INTERESTING ENOUGH? 04:26 EVERYTHING IS LOOKING TO THE RIGHT. 04:28 AND IT HAPPENED A COUPLE OF NIGHTS. 04:32 AND PASTOR DINZEY HAD A COUPLE OF STORIES TOO. 04:35 BUT THE LORD PUSHED US FORWARD, AND WE HAD SOME WONDERFUL 04:39 STORIES ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THAT. 04:42 ONE EVENING I WAS PREACHING A MESSAGE ON ABUNDANT LIVING. 04:54 AND THERE WAS A STORY IN THE BIBLE ABOUT APPETITE. 05:02 AND ZEBULON WOULDN'T GIVE ENOUGH MONEY. 05:07 BUT THERE WAS ONE GAIT, THAT WAS THAT SERPENT IN THE PATH. 05:19 HE WAS CRITICAL, NEVER FOCUSED ON HIS OWN SIN, AND HE IS NOT IN 05:26 REVELATION. AND AFTER THE MEETING I WAS 05:28 TALKING TO A LATEDY WHO WAS GETTING READY FOR BAPTISM. 05:31 AND ANOTHER LADY WALKED PAST ME WITH GRAY HAIR, AND THE NIGHT 05:37 BEFORE IT WAS WASHING AWAY THE PAST. 05:41 THAT NIGHT IT WAS WASHING AWAY THE PAST. 05:44 AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME. AND SHE SAID REMIND YOU TO TALK 05:49 TO ME BEFORE YOU LEAVE. AND HER FACE WAS LIKE AN 05:53 ADVERTISEMENT FOR YOU ARE IN TROUBLE. 05:55 [ LAUGHTER ] >> SO I SAT DOWN WITH HER, AND 05:57 SHE SAID WHAT IS MY NAME? SHE TOLD ME HER FIRST NAME. 06:01 SHE SAID WHAT IS MY LAST NAME? I SAID I DON'T KNOW. 06:05 SHE SAID DAN. MY LAST NAME IS DAN. 06:08 AND NOT ONLY THAT, SHE SAID YOU HAVE BEEN CALLING ME OUT ALL 06:14 NIGHT. I SAID HAVE NOT BEEN CALLING YOU 06:16 OUT. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN COMING 06:18 YOU OUT. SHE SAID I'M NOT ONLY 06:22 CRITICAL -- I'M THE MOST CRITICAL -- AND SHE USED A WORD 06:28 I WON'T USE ON AIR -- THAT YOU WILL EVER MEET. 06:32 AND YOU SAID THAT NICKDEEMUS WAS HIGHLY EDUCATED, AND I HAVE A 06:45 MASTER'S DEGREE. AND SHE SAID I HAVE BEEN 06:49 STRUGGLING WITH CIGARETTES. YOU HAVE BEEN CALLING ME OUT ALL 06:53 NIGHT. THE NUTSHELL OF IT WAS, SHE GOT 06:58 BAPTIZED. >> OKAY. 06:59 >> SHE SAID THE LORD IS TELLING ME THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE. 07:02 AND SHE WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT WAS BAPTIZED AT THEN OF THE 07:08 MEETING. AND I EVEN SAW THE CHANGE IN HER 07:13 COUNTENANCE. SHE HAD A SPRING IN HER STEP. 07:16 SHE SAID DON'T EVER FORGET ME.-pAND WE TOOK A PICTURE TOGETHER. BUT THE SABBATH OF BAPTISM. 07:30 A YOUNG LADY CAME IN, AND SHE SAID MY NAME IS DAISY. 07:34 I SAID IS THIS YOUR FIRST NIGHT? SHE SAID THIS IS MY FIRST TIME 07:39 IN AN ADVENTIST CHURCH PERIOD. AND SHE TOLD ME HER AGE. 07:43 YOUNG LADY, 22 YEARS OLD. I SAID WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE? 07:50 SHE SAID I WAS LOVING THE WRONG LIFE. 07:53 AND A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THE LORD WAS STRONG ON ME, STRONG ON 07:57 ME TO GIVE MY LIFE TO HIM, AND TURN MY LIFE OVER TO HIM, AND I 08:02 BEGAN TO READ MY BIBLE, SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR TRUTH, AND I 08:06 CAME UPON THE MESSAGE ABOUT THE SABBATH, AND THEN I FOUND OUT 08:12 ABOUT THE SABBATH. AND THEN I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A 08:16 CHURCH THAT KEPT THE SABBATH, SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST, AND I 08:20 THOUGHT WELL, THEY ARE PROBABLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST SOMEWHERE, 08:26 AND THEN I PUT THE ADDRESS IN, CAME TO FIND OUT NOT TOO FAR 08:36 FROM ME WAS WHERE THE SABBATH WAS BEING KEPT. 08:39 AND SHE SAID I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO 08:43 TO BE BAPTIZED. SHE SAID I SO LOVE THE LORD. 08:47 I FOUND TRUTH AND THIS IS WHERE GOD WANTS ME TO BE. 08:52 >> PRAISE THE LORD. >> SO THAT WAS TWO OF THE -- AND 08:56 I'LL LEAVE SOME MORE FOR LATER, BUT IN SPITE OF ALL OF THE 09:00 CHALLENGES WE HAD, THE MUSIC DIRECTOR -- 09:03 >> CLAUDIO. >> CLAUDIO. 09:05 I NEVER REMEMBER HIS NAME. HE SAID WE WERE PRAYING FOR THE 09:08 MOST TO BE A REVIVAL HERE AT OUR CHURCH. 09:12 WE GOT SO MUCH MORE THAN WE EVEN PLANNED FOR. 09:15 THE CHURCH WAS NOT ON A REVIVAL, SO FAR TEN PRECIOUS SOULS WERE 09:22 BAPTIZED. AND AFTER THE SEMINAR, I'LL TELL 09:24 YOU ABOUT THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GET BAPTIZED TOO. 09:30 BUT JOHN DINZEY HAS HIS OWN LIGHT ISSUES AT HIS CHURCH. 09:34 WHICH IS A FUNNY STORY HOW GOD WORKED THOSE THINGS OUT. 09:38 >> YES. I WANT TO SAY THIS FIRST, 09:41 BECAUSE IN LONDON WE HAVEN'T REALLY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO 09:44 COMMUNICATE AS MUCH. WE WERE NOT ALL IN THE SAME 09:47 HOTEL. IN THIS ONE -- YOU DON'T ALWAYS 09:50 CHECK YOUR EMAI, BECAUSE YOU ARE BUSY GETTING READY FOR THE 09:54 SERMON, BUT YOU SEE THESE TEXTS COMING IN FROM THE SPEAKERS 09:57 WHERE THEY ARE PRAYING FOR ONE ANOTHER, AND SHELLEY WAS GETTING 10:02 SICK, AND IT WAS BAD, SO WE'RE TELLING EACH OTHER, WE'RE 10:07 PRAYING FOR YOU, AND IT WAS JUST MARVELOUS, AND SHELLEY WAS SICK 10:16 ENOUGH NOT TO PREACH, BUT SHE WENT FORTH IN -- IN FAITH, AND 10:20 PEOPLE WERE PRAYING FOR HER. WE WERE PRAYING FOR HER, AND SHE 10:24 WAS -- SHE WOULD SAY SHE WAS SICKER THAN A DOG BEFORE SHE GOT 10:29 UP. ONCE SHE GOT TO THE PLATFORM, 10:31 THE LORD GAV HER VOICE, SHE DIDN'T COUGH OR SNEEZE, AND J.D. 10:38 QUINN SAID IT WAS AMAZING. HE LITERALLY HAD TO HELP HER 10:42 INTO THE CAR. AND SO GOD WOULD SUSTAIN HER 10:46 THROUGH IT. AND KENNY GOT REALLY SICK AS 10:49 WELL. AND CA, AND GOD WAS BLESSING. 10:51 >> AMEN. >> AND YES, WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH 10:54 THE LIGHTS. SO I GO THE FIRST DAY THERE, AND 10:58 THEY ARE SETTING THINGS UP, AND AS SOON AS I WAS THERE, THE 11:02 LIGHTS WERE GOING ON OFF, ON OFF, AND I SAID WHAT IS WRONG 11:07 WITH THE LIGHTS? AND THEY SAID WE'RE NOT SURE 11:11 YET. WE HOPE WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. 11:14 AND SO BY GOD'S GRACE -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID, BUT THE 11:17 LIGHTS THAT DAY WORKED FINE. AND BEFORE THE -- BEFORE WE 11:22 STARTED, THE LIGHTS WERE FLICKERS ON AND ON AND OFF. 11:27 >> EVERY NIGHT. >> EVERY NIGHT. 11:30 >> I THERE WERE THREE TIMES I THINK, WHEN THE LIGHTS FLICKERS 11:38 ON MY RIGHT SIDE, BUT THERE WAS TEXT ON THE SCREEN, SO THE 11:44 PEOPLE AT HOME DIDN'T SEE STUDDENLY DARK. 11:46 AND ABOUT THREE TIMES THAT HAPPENED. 11:49 SO YOU SAY, THANK YOU, LORD, THANK YOU, JESUS, BECAUSE HE WAS 11:52 THERE. THE LORD WAS THERE. 11:53 SO THERE WAS A LOT OF PRAYER THAT WENT INTO THIS. 11:56 ONE OF THE THINGS I SAW WAS THIS IS A PRAYING GROUP OF PEOPLE. 12:02 3ABN IS A GRAYING FAMILY. GREG AND JILL, WE'RE PRAYING FOR 12:06 YOU, WE'RE PRAYING FOR YOU, AND THAT WAS ENCOURAGING. 12:11 SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS UNIQUE IF YOU COMPARE LONDON TO 12:16 PHOENIX IS THAT 3ABN HAS BEEN ON THE AIR FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THE 12:21 PHOENIX CONFERENCE HAS BEEN RENTING OR BUYING TV CHANNELS IN 12:27 PHOENIX AND ALL ACROSS ARIZONA. THEY COVER ABOUT 90% OF ARIZONA. 12:32 AND THE MAJORITY OF THEIR PROGRAMMING IS 3ABN, AND 3ABN 12:37 LATINO. I THINK THEY EVEN PUT ON 3ABN 12:40 PROCLAIM. SO WE JUST PRAISE THE LORD FOR 12:42 THE ARIZONA CONFERENCE. >> AMEN. 12:44 >> I WAS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE THAT HAD BEEN WATCHING THE CHANNEL TO 12:47 COME IN. SO THE FIRST SABBATH THERE IS A 12:51 LADY THAT CAME IN. AND I TOOK A LOOK ACROSS AND 12:55 SAID THIS LADY IS NOT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST. 13:02 AND THAT IS NOT A VERY BIG CHURCH. 13:06 AND AFTER I GOT DONE PREACHING THE FIRST SERMON, THE ELDER 13:12 SAID, THERE IS A LADY THAT HAS SEEN YOU ON 3ABN, AND SHE WANTS 13:22 TO MEET YOU. AND SHE KEPT COMING, AND SHE WAS 13:29 WATCHING THE LOCAL CHANNEL. SHE DID NOT GET BAPTIZED ON THE 13:34 LAST SABBATH, BUT HE PASTOR SAID SHE IS ON THE LIST TO BE 13:40 BAPTIZED. THERE IS A LIST OF 16 PEOPLE 13:42 THAT WILL BE BAPTIZED IN THE NEXT MONTH. 13:44 BUT SHE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. I MET A MAN THAT HAD BEEN 13:49 WATCHING 3ABN LATINO FOR -- HE SAID FOUR YEARS WATCHING. 13:53 AND WOULD KEEP NOTES AND COMPARE THE BIBLE STUDIES, HE SAID THIS 13:59 IS BIBLICAL, I'M GOING TO BE BAPTIZED. 14:03 HE WAS BAPTIZED ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO. 14:06 AND HE HAS BEEN A DEACON, AN ELDER, AND HE'S JUST ON FIRE. 14:12 HE SAID WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ON FIRE? 14:15 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT HE IS JUST FULLY GIVEN TO 14:17 THE LORD. FULLY GIVEN TO THE LORD, SO I 14:23 MET HIM. SO 3ABN IS EFFECTIVE EVANGELISM, 14:28 24 HOURS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK. TWO LADIES CAME IN -- ONE 14:35 LADY -- THE CHURCH WAS FEEDING PEOPLE AT 5:30, HE SAID IF YOU 14:40 COME FROM WORK, DON'T GO HOME TO EAT, COME HERE. 14:45 WE'LL FEED YOU. SO PEOPLE WERE EATING AT 5:30, 14:49 AND WE WERE DONE AROUND 8:30 WITH THE MESSAGE. 14:52 AND HE SAID IF YOU DIDN'T GET TO EAT AT 5:30, WE HAVE FOOD FOR 15:01 YOU. AND THAT'S WHEN I TALKED TO THIS 15:05 LADY. SHE SAID LAST NIGHT CLEARED UP 15:07 MANY THINGS THAT I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT. 15:10 AND SO I INVITED MY SISTER. AND THE SISTER SAID I WATCH THE 15:16 CHANNEL ALL THE TIME, AND IT'S SUCH A BLESSING, AND THIS IS MY 15:23 FIRST TIME VISITING A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. 15:26 IT'S SO DIFFERENT FROM MY CHURCH. 15:28 I WALK IN AND I LEAVE THE SAME WAY. 15:35 BUT HERE YOU LEARN THINGS. AND THE CHURCH IS SO FRIENDLY. 15:43 YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S FAMILY. >> AMEN. 15:46 >> SO THERE WERE OTHER MIRACLES, AND IF THERE'S TIME, I'LL SHARE 15:52 MORE. >> SURE. 15:53 OKAY. BROTHER KENNY? 15:54 >> THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAPPENED, AND GOOD THINGS, 15:58 AND WE CALL THEM MIRACLES, BECAUSE GOD IS IN THAT BUSINESS. 16:02 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> WE OFTEN HAVE SAID IN SPITE 16:05 OF US, AN WE REALLY HAVE TO COME TO THE POINT WHERE WE 16:12 BELIEVE THAT. GOD DOES THINGS IN SPITE OF 16:16 OURSELVES. BUT DEDICATED OUR LIVES TO HIM, 16:21 GOD DOES GREAT AND WONDERFUL THINGS. 16:24 AND THE WORKING RELATIONSHIP EVEN WITH THE CONFERENCE AND 16:28 3ABN HAS TO BE GOOD IN THIS SENSE, BECAUSE USUALLY -- I 16:31 DON'T THINK ANY OTHER CHURCHES WORK THIS WAY, IT'S JUST OURS 16:36 WAS RARE BECAUSE THE PASTOR JUST LEFT. 16:38 WHEN IT CAME TIME TO DO THE BAPTIZING, THEY MORE OR LESS 16:42 DEMANDED THAT I DO THE BAPTIZING. 16:45 THIS IS WHAT THEY WANTED. SO IT WAS WONDERFUL TO GO DOWN 16:49 TO THAT WATERY GRAVE AND SEE -- WE CALL IT ELECTRICITY OF 16:55 THOSE WHO HAVE REALLY DIED THE SELF, AND COME UP. 16:59 YOU CAN FEEL THA WATER ALMOST SHAKE WHEN THEY COME UP AND THEY 17:04 START SCREAMING PRAISE GOD. >> HALLELUJAH. 17:08 >> AND WE ALWAYS STARTED WITH PRAYER SESSION. 17:12 6:00 WE WOULD MEET EVERY EVENING. 17:15 AND THEY WOULD PRAY ALL DURING -- THE MESSAGE WENT ON, 17:25 THE HEALTH MESSAGE. I DIDN'T THINK THEY WOULD ASK ME 17:29 BACK AFTER SHE DID HERS. [ LAUGHTER ] 17:35 >> SHE DID A WONDERFUL JOB. BUT FOLKS WERE PRAYING DURING 17:39 THE WHOLE HOUR, HOUR AND A HALF OF MESSAGE, AND YOU COULD SENSE 17:42 THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT BECAUSE IT WAS A PRAYNG CHURCH. 17:45 AND I REMEMBER TALKING TO ONE MAN SPECIFICALLY. 17:49 HE HAD BEEN COMING OFF AND ON TO THE ADVENTIST CHURCH FOR 22 17:54 YEARS. 22 YEARS, HE SAID I HAVE BEEN TO 17:58 ALL OF THEM. EVERY CHURCH YOU CAN ALMOST 18:00 NAME, I HAVE BEEN THERE, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH, AND MY FIRST 18:05 RESPONSE -- YOU CAN JUST TELL HE IS A GUY THAT YOU CAN TALK TO. 18:10 YOU JUST SENSE THAT SOMETIMES. >> YES. 18:12 >> HE WAS ONE OF THOSE. AND HE SAID I HAVE BEEN 22 18:16 YEARS, COMING AND GOING, AND I SAID THAT'S 22 YEARS TOO LONG. 18:26 BECAUSE YOU KNOW THESE TRUTHS ALREADY. 18:28 >> OH, YEAH, I KNOW. AND HE WAS JUST AS REGULAR AS HE 18:40 COULD BE, AND I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO BAPTIZE HIM. 18:46 >> AMEN. >> THAT'S HOW I FELT THAT MANY 18:49 PEOPLE HAD -- EVERY -- EVERY PERSON THAT WE DEALT 18:54 WITH -- SOMEBODY HAD COME ALONG, SOMEBODY PLANTED SOMETHING, 18:59 SOMEBODY DID SOMETHING TO HELP PREPARE THEM. 19:03 AND THEY JUST NEED THAT LITTLE EXTRA NUDGE OF LOVE SOMETIMES, 19:08 AND SAY COME ON, BRO. I REMEMBER ONE GUY WAS A LITTLE 19:11 BIT HESITANT COMING UP, AND MY WIFE SAID YOU KNOW WHAT -- HIS 19:16 NAME WAS FRANK -- FRANK, IF YOU DON'T COME UP, I'M GOING TO COME 19:21 GET YOU. [ LAUGHTER ] 19:22 >> AND HE WAS BAPTIZED, WASN'T HE? 19:25 >> YES, HE WAS. AND THE BEAUTIFUL THING WAS THAT 19:29 YOU TALK TO THEM IN BETWEEN. YOU GET TO KNOW THEM. 19:33 AND WE'RE WATCHING 3ABN, AS PEOPLE SAY, WE HAVE IT ON 24/7, 19:39 ALL THE TIME. SO IT JUST TRANSFORMS THEM AND 19:41 CHANGES THEM AND EQUIPS THEM, AND -- AND THEY ARE READY FOR 19:45 WHEN GOD SO DIRECTS THAT THE MEETINGS WHEREVER THEY GO AND 19:49 THE CHURCH THEY GO, THE PEOPLE ARE THERE. 19:52 THEY ARE THERE. BECAUSE THE WEEK BEFORE THERE 19:54 WAS NOTHING. NO STUDY HAS BEEN GIVEN, NOBODY 19:57 READY FOR ANYTHING. AND SO WE KNEW IF ANYTHING 20:01 HAPPENED, IT HAD TO BE GOD THAT WOULD DO IT. 20:04 >> OKAY. >> AND THEN GO THROUGH A LITTLE 20:06 BIT OF THE SICKNESS AND -- BLESS SHELLEY KAUCH -- COUGHED -- I 20:17 COUGHED AND HACKED AND SNORTED, BUT IT WAS LIKE MANY TIMES LIKE 20:22 THE PEOPLE HAVE SAID, WHAT GOD CAN DO. 20:24 THEY DIDN'T HEAR ALL OF THAT. I'M SHOCKED, BECAUSE I COULDN'T 20:29 HARDLY STAND TO LISTEN TO MYSELF. 20:32 AND THEY SAID WE DIDN'T NOTICE ALL OF THAT. 20:34 >> THERE YOU GO. >> SO WITH ALL OF THAT -- WE'LL 20:37 TALK MORE ABOUT IT LATER TOO -- BUT T 20:41 THEY -- THEY -- WERE -- THIS CHURCH WAS SO BENT ON SAYING 20:44 THIS IS WHAT WE NEEDED FOR A LONG TIME. 20:46 THIS WAS THE BEGINNING. WE'RE GOING TO SET UP BIBLE 20:54 STUDIES. WE HAVE MORE BAPTISMS LATER ON, 20:57 AND I HAVE OFTEN SAID IT'S NOT -- I THINK THIS IS FOR 21:00 RECORDS AND PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT, BUT I DON'T CARE 21:03 IF THERE'S 100 OR 10,000, I ALWAYS SAY IT'S NOT ENOUGH.-IT'S NOT ENOUGH, BECAUSE THERE'S 21:13 MORE OUT THERE. >> UH-HUH. 21:15 >> AND I HAVE TALKED -- IT MAY SHOCK SOME PEOPLE -- YOU THINK 21:19 YOU DON'T -- BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GET DONE BAPTIZING THOSE WHO 21:23 ARE READY, THE LORD SAID THERE ARE SEVERAL MORE OUT HERE AT 21:27 SABBATH, AND YOU CALL AND THEY WILL COME UP. 21:31 IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING WE HAD DONE, BUT YOU HEAR THIS 21:35 VOICE, CALL. I MADE A CALL. 21:36 PEOPLE GOT OUT OF THE PEWS WITH THEIR SABBATH CLOTHES ON AND 21:43 THEY WALKED UP FRONT AND STARTED TAKING THEIR SHOES AND CLOTHES 21:47 OFF, AND SAID GIVE ME A ROBE. I HAVE GOT TO GO IN. 21:50 >> AMEN. >> THEY DID THAT RIGHT ON THE 21:53 SPUR OF THE MOMENT. THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS 21:57 TRUE TO HIS WORD. >> AMEN. 21:59 >> MAKE THE CALL, BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO DO 22:04 THAT -- OR THEY DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. 22:09 >> DO YOU IT MAY HAVE BEEN ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT, BUT THE 22:15 WINDS HAVE BEEN BLOWN. SOMEBODY HAD ALREADY PLANTED, 22:19 AND IT WAS TIME. >> IT WAS TIME. 22:20 >> AMEN. >> AND WHAT IF 22:23 EVERYBODY -- WHATEVER WE DO FOR THE CAUSE -- WHAT IF YOU DON'T 22:26 LISTEN TO THAT VOICE? WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED THAT 22:29 DAY? I KNOW -- IT HAS NOTHING TO DO 22:31 WITH US, BUT YET'S IT'S TIMING. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 22:34 >> AND SOMETIMES THE DOOR IS OPEN, IF WE DON'T GO THROUGH 22:37 WHEN THE VOICE CALLS, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE IMPRESSED ON 22:41 THE MIND IF GOD IS CALLING ON YOU AND YOU ARE SQUIRMING IN 22:46 YOUR SEAT, YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. 22:50 >> THE POINT -- YOU SAID IF I HADN'T HAVE DONE IT, MAYBE 22:55 SOMEONE ELSE WOULD. BUT WE'RE HELD ACCOUNTABLE IF WE 22:59 DON'T. >> THANK YOU. 23:00 >> SO MANY OF US ARE IMPRESSED TO DO SOMETHING, AND WE JUST 23:04 DON'T, BECAUSE WE THINK SOMEONE ELSE WILL, BUT I THINK YOU HAVE 23:07 THAT OPPORTUNITY, THE HOLY SPIRIT IMPRESSED YOU, AND YOU 23:10 DID IT. IT'S NOT TO SAY THOSE FOLKS 23:13 WOULDN'T HAVE FOUND THE LORD AND BEEN BAPTIZED THROUGH SOME OTHER 23:16 TIME OR LATER, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ON YOUR HANDS, 23:20 TO PRAISE THE LORD. SO ALL OF US AT HOME, WE HAVE A 23:23 CHANCE TO WIN TO SOMEBODY, INSTEAD OF SAYING, WELL, THIS IS 23:26 NOT REALLY THE TIME, SOMEBODY ELSE WILL DO IT. 23:29 >> HUH. >> THE LORD SAID GO YE INTO ALL 23:35 OF THE WORLD. SO THANK YOU, BROTHER KENNY. 23:41 I HAD A PASTOR TELL ME ONCE -- I SAID WHY DON'T YOU MAKE APPEALS? 23:46 AND HE SAID I KNOW EVERYBODY IN MY CHURCH, BASICALLY. 23:50 SO THERE'S NO USE. I SAID, NO, YOU DON'T. 23:54 YOU THINK YOU DO. GOD KNOWS THE HEART, SO WE 23:58 SHOULDN'T LET A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY GO BY WITHOUT MAKING 24:02 APPEALS FOR PEOPLE TO GIVE THEIR HEARTS TO JESUS, AND IN THIS 24:05 CASE -- >> YOU KNOW, BROTHER DANNY, EVEN 24:09 IF THERE IS A LAW -- THIS HELPS ALL OF US AS WE WORK, THERE IS A 24:14 LAW BETWEEN CALL AND RESPONSE. >> RIGHT. 24:16 >> NEVER LET IT DISCOURAGE YOU, BECAUSE YOU KNOW SOMEBODY IS 24:20 THINKING -- >> THAT'S RIGHT. 24:21 >> AND IT JUST PROVED -- FOR A WHOLE FAMILY -- HUSBAND AND WIFE 24:27 AND A CHILD -- >> OKAY. 24:29 >> -- THAT CAME UP AFTERWARDS AND PUT HIS ARMS AROUND ME, AND 24:33 WE KNOW IT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT BUT THERE WAS A LULL IN BETWEEN, AND 24:41 I WAS TALKING TO THE PEOPLE, AND I JUST THOUGHT THERE IS SOMEBODY 24:46 ELSE. HE CAME BACK, AND HE SAID IF 24:49 THERE HAD NOT BEEN THAT LULL, I WOULD NOT HAVE COME UP. 24:52 IT GAVE ME A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME, AND THE SPIRIT WAS TALKING 24:55 TO US, SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE GOING TO COME UP, AND 25:00 BECAUSE OF THAT LULL, THAT LITTLE BIT OF HESITATION, HE 25:05 SAID, THE HOLY SPIRIT SAID NOW. AND SO HE JUMPED OUT OF HIS 25:12 SEAT. SO DON'T EVER GET DISCOURAGED. 25:16 THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ASKING US TO RESPOND. 25:18 SO NOW IS THE DAY, THIS IS THE TIME, 3ABN NEEDS TO BE 25:25 EVANGELIZING, THIS IS THE PERFECT, PRECIOUS TIME IN 25:27 EARTH'S HISTORY, DON'T WASTE A DAY. 25:30 DON'T PUT OFF A DAY. >> ABSOLUTELY. 25:33 >> AND I ENCOURAGE YOU AT HOME, DON'T PUT IT OFF. 25:38 >> THANK YOU. AND THAT'S WHY WE ENCOURAGE THE 25:43 FOLKS AT HOME, WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND PRAYERS TO 25:48 BE THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND. WE LIKE TO BE THERE ONE ON ONE 25:52 FOR THE PEOPLE ALSO. GO AHEAD. 25:53 >> WAS GOING TO SAY -- LIKE TODAY -- TODAY IS THE DAY OF 25:58 SALVATION. >> YES. 25:59 >> JUST LIKE THIS YOUNG LADY THAT PASTOR JOHN WAS TALKING 26:05 ABOUT, SHE TOLD US, SHE SAID I HAVE BEEN AT CROSS ROADS BEFORE 26:07 AND HAVE NOT -- WHATEVER IN HER LIFE -- 26:11 >> OKAY. >> -- BUT SHE SAID I'M AT A 26:13 CROSS ROADS WITH THE SABBATH AND I HAVE TO ACCEPT AND GO FORWARD. 26:16 SHE SAID I BELIEVE THE LORD IS GIVING ME ANOTHER CHANCE. 26:18 >> AMEN >> 26:19 >> THAT'S POWERFUL. AND THIS WAS A YOUNG LADY. 26:23 IT WAS JUST AMAZING. >> SHE WAS RESPONDING TO THE 26:30 LORD. >> WHAT WAS THAT? 26:31 >> SHE WAS RESPONDING TO THE LORD. 26:33 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> OKAY. 26:34 PASTOR CA. >> I WAS JUST THINKING I DID MY 26:39 FIRST EVANGELISTIC CRUSADE IN 1974. 26:41 THAT IS A LONG TIME AGO. >> YEAH, IT IS. 26:44 >> AND HAVE DONE MANY, MANY OVER THE YEARS, AND I HAVE DONE 15 26:51 SINCE BEING HERE, BUT I FIND THAT WHEN WE GO OUT TOGETHER, 26:57 THERE IS A SYNERGY THAT TAKES PLACE. 27:00 MOST -- MOST PREACHERS WILL TELL YOU, DURING THE AFTERNOON, YOU 27:04 ARE IN YOUR ROOM GOING OVER YOUR MATERIALS, BUT YOU CAN JUST FEEL 27:08 THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, AND THEN WE'RE EMAILING EACH OTHER, 27:12 AND PASSING EACH OTHER ON THE WAY OUT THE DOORS, BUT THERE IS 27:16 SOMETHING ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER AND THE POWER OF UNITED EFFORT 27:19 THAT I THINK GOD HONORS, AND, YOU KNOW, I BROUGHT WITH 27:23 ME -- THIS IS MY PRAYER LIST, AND I'M NOT GOING TO UNROLL IT 27:27 ALL THE WAY, BUT I HAVE HAD THIS FOR 45 YEARS. 27:30 AND IT GOES ON AND ON -- SOME I DON'T THINK ARE ALIVE ANYMORE. 27:38 AND IRMA IS HOME WITH INFLUENZA TYPE A THAT SHE PICKED UP, SO I 27:47 GOT KICKED OUT OF THE BED BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO CATCH 27:50 IT. AND SO I PULLED OUT THIS LIST, 27:53 AND I ADDED SOME NAMES, AND I HAVE HAD THIS -- I REALIZED 45 28:02 YEARS, THIS PRAYER LIST. AND I USED TO TAKE IT OUT AND 28:08 PRAY FOR IT A LOT. BUT IT TAKES A LONG, LONG TIME. 28:12 BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVED IN A MIGHTY WAY HERE. 28:19 CHURCHES WERE REVIVED I THINK PERMANENTLY. 28:22 WE WERE OUT A LITTLE WAYS, BUT THERE WAS A SPIRIT THERE. 28:25 I WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THE FIRST ELDER, RANDY FIELDS AND 28:33 HIS WIFE WHO FED US, AND EVERY NIGHT SHE GIVE US SO MUCH ROOM 28:42 THAT I TOOK SOME BACK TO THE EDITING ROOM. 28:45 WE HAD GOOD MUSIC -- REALLY GOOD MUSIC, A YOUNG LADY BY THE NAME 28:50 OF JOSLIN, REALLY GOOD SINGER, AND THIS SMALL GROUP, THAT WE 28:55 CALLED THEM THE JEREMY -- OH, WHAT IS HIS LAST NAME JEREMY 29:01 [ INAUDIBLE ] QUINTET, PIANO, CELLO, VIOLIN, FLUTE, AND 29:10 GUITAR -- BECAUSE SHE ALSO PLAYED THE GUITAR, AND A RELLY 29:13 GORGEOUS SINGER, REALLY, REALLY GOOD MUSIC. 29:17 AND AT THE END THEY SAID WE HAVE NEVER SEEN THE CHURCH FULL LIKE 29:21 THIS EVERY NIGHT. WE HAD AN OVERFLOW ROOM, AND 29:27 THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THE OVERFLOW ROOM EVERY NIGHT. 29:31 AND I SAID LORD -- I PUT IT IN GODS HAND TO PREACH, IT'S HIS 29:39 JOB TO CONVERT SOULS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 29:42 >> HAVING SAID THAT, ONE OR TWO HAD GIVEN THEIR HEART TO THE 29:47 LORD, AND I SAID LORD, I FEEL THERE ARE MORE OUT THERE. 29:52 THIS FLUTIST, SHE IS AN AUTISTIC YOUNG LADY WHO WORKED HERSELF 29:58 THROUGH COLLEGE PLAYING THE FLUTE, AND ONE DAY THEY PLAYED, 30:02 AND SHE WAS PLAYING SO BEAUTIFULLY, BUT AS AN AUTISTIC 30:08 PERSON SHE DOESN'T SMILE MUCH OR MAKE MUCH EYE CONTACT. 30:12 AND I THOUGHT SHE WAS IN TROUBLE. 30:16 I SAID CAT, GOD HAS CALLED FOR YOUR LIFE. 30:19 AND SHE SCREAMED AND JUST SUNK TO THE FLOOR.-AND LATER I FOUND OUT, JUST 30:25 BEFORE THEY CAME UP TO PLAY, SHE WAS IN THE SABBATH SCHOOL ROOM, 30:30 SAYING I JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT THE LORD LOVES ME AND THAT THE 30:33 LORD HAS A PLAN FOR MY LIFE. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO. 30:37 I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE. I NEED TO KNOW THAT THE LORD 30:41 LOVES ME, AND THEN I CALL HER NAME OUT, AND SHE JUST WHALED. 30:46 AND GAVE HER LIFE TO JESUS. >> AMEN. 30:48 >> ON THE LAST SABBATH, WE HAD NINE PEOPLE GIVE THEIR HEART TO 30:56 THE LORD, SO A TOTAL OF 11, BUT IT WAS A GOOD MEETING. 31:02 THE PEOPLE WERE EXCITED. THEY CAME OUT EVERY SINGLE 31:05 NIGHT, AND I THANKED THEM. I SAID I KNOW THIS IS A 31:15 INTRUSION TO BE HERE EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. 31:21 AND THE LORD HAD HIS WAY IN A VERY GOOD WAY DURING THE 31:25 MEETING. >> PRAISE THE LORD. 31:26 >> WELL, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT FOR JUST A MOMENT, I 31:34 WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THERE IS A METHOD BEHIND THE MADNESS. 31:38 YOU HAD 11 AT YOUR CHURCH, AND YOU HAD 10, AND YOU HAD ANOTHER. 31:43 AND PEOPLE SAY THAT'S NOT VERY MANY NUMBERS WISE. 31:52 AND WHAT PEOPLE DO IS RENT AN AUDITORIUM, BRING IN ALL OF THE 31:58 PEOPLE, MAYBE A PASTOR FOR A WITHIN, AND OVER FRIDAY, 32:04 SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY NIGHT. AND WHEN HE MAKES AN APPEAL, 32:10 5,000 PEOPLE WALK TO THE FRONT. AND THAT'S WONDERFUL, BECAUSE 32:13 PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT. BUT WE SAW THAT IN RUSSIA YEARS 32:19 AGO. ONE IN MOSCOW DRAWING 30,000 32:23 PEOPLE A NIGHT, HAD TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE GIVING THEIR 32:29 HEARTS TO JESUS. BUT LESS THAN TWO YEARS LATER, 32:33 NO ONE KNEW WHERE THESE FOLK WERE. 32:35 SO WHAT WE'RE FINDING OUT, IS, YES, YOU CAN DRAW A LOT OF 32:41 PEOPLE, GET PEOPLE ALL EXCITED AND THEY GIVE THEIR HEARTS TO 32:45 THE LORD, BUT THEN THEY GO BACK, BECAUSE NOW THEY ARE JUST BACK 32:50 TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM. YOU DON'T KNOW THEIR NAME. 33:00 SO YOU TAKE PEOPLE THROUGH THE WHOLE MESSAGE. 33:06 SO NOW EVERY NIGHT THEY NOT ONLY ACCEPT JESUS, BUT NOW THE PLAN 33:10 FOR THEIR LIVES AND THE PLAN THAT GOD HAS FOR THEM AS A 33:14 PEOPLE, AND BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND DANIEL REVELATION, 33:18 ABOUT -- END TIMES PROPHECIES MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. 33:34 THESE PEOPLE TEND TO STAY A LONG TIME. 33:36 SO IF WE JUST WANT NUMBERS, WE'RE JUST RENT AN AUDITORIUM, 33:42 AND WE'LL HAVE ALL OF THIS, BUT THEN IN A PERIOD OF TIME, YOU 33:45 DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE PEOPLE -- THEY JUT DISAPPEAR, 33:49 BECAUSE NOW THAT THEY ARE BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED INTO A BODY 33:53 OF CHRIST, AND SO THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT WE GO INTO ONE 33:58 AREA, AND HAVE NUMEROUS EVANGELISTIC SERIES GOING ON, 34:02 BUT EVERY ONE OF THESE PEOPLE WILL BE NURTURED WHEN YOU ARE 34:07 GONE, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE TO BE WITH THEM. 34:09 >> I HAD A WOMAN THAT LOOKED VERY DIGNIFIED, VERY TALL, LARGE 34:14 BIBLE, I ASKED THE ELDER, WHO IS THAT WOMAN? 34:17 BECAUSE SHE JUST HAD A PRESENCE. HE SAID I HAVE NEVER SEEN HER 34:22 BEFORE. SO I WENT TO TALK TO HER, AND 34:24 SHE SAID I'M A PASTOR OF A LOCAL CHURCH HERE. 34:32 AND SHE ASKED ME ABOUT THE TWO LAWS. 34:35 SHE SAID I'M NOT AN ARGUER. I CAME HEE TO LEARN. 34:39 FIRST OF ALL YOU ARE GIVEN ME MY SERMON FOR TOMORROW. 34:50 >> OKAY. >> AND SHE SAID I WAS HERE THE 34:54 OTHER NIGHT AND YOU DIDN'T SEE ME, AND I GOT MY SERMON THERE 35:01 TOO. I WILL BE BACK. 35:03 >> WONDERFUL. >> THE HARVEST IS NOT OUR 35:07 RESPONSIBILITY. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 35:08 >> WHEN THE THREE ANGELS' MESSAGES COMS TO A CLOSE, YOU 35:11 ARE GOING TO HEAR THE COMMAND THRUST IN YOUR SICKLE FOR THE 35:21 HARVEST IS RIPE. WE'RE HERE TO PLANT SEEDS. 35:25 AND WE ALL HAD DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES. 35:28 WE HA A GUY THAT WAS AWAY FROM THE CHURCH 30 YEARS. 35:34 HE LEFT. HE WALKED INTO THE SERIES -- I 35:39 THINK HE HEARD ABOUT IT THROUGH -- I THINK THE 35:42 TELEVISION, AND HE CAME AND HE AND HIS WIFE WERE BAPTIZED. 35:46 THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE LORD WAS WORKING ON FOR 30 YEARS. 35:53 SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW GOD WORKS, THERE WERE MESSAGING 35:58 BEING PLANTED -- ONE OF THE ATTENDEES SAID THERE IS A LADY 36:03 THAT NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU. AND I TALKED HER ABOUT HER 36:08 MISUNDERSTANDING OF TONGUES, AND AFTER EXPLAINING POINT BLANK, I 36:12 SAID WHY WOULD YOU NEED THE GIFT OF TONGUES AND YOU ARE SPEAKING 36:18 TO ME IN ENGLISH, AND I'M ENGLISH, AND SHE SAID IT MAKES 36:23 ME FEEL GOOD. AND I SAID SO YOU NEED IT FOR 36:26 FEELS. AND SHE SAID NO, I NEED IT FOR 36:31 PEACE. AND I SAID THE BIBLE GIVES YOU 36:34 PEACE. AND SHE SAID I GUESS I JUST NEED 36:40 TO GIVE THAT ONE UP, BECAUSE I DON'T NEED IT. 36:44 I SAID IF YOU ARE IN AN ENGLISH CHURCH, YOU DON'T NEED THE GIFT 36:52 OF TONGUES. AND AT THE END OF THE SERIES A 36:56 MAN CAME UP TO ME, HE WAS A MORMON. 36:59 50 YEARS. HE SAID I HEARD 3ABN WAS HERE. 37:03 I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING 3ABN FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS, AND HE SAID 37:07 YOU FREED ME FROM BEING A MORMON AFTER 50 YEARS. 37:15 >> PRAISE THE LORD. >> AND HE SAID TEL ME, I WAS A 37:26 MORMON FOR 50 YEARS. BUT I'M AN ADVENTIST NOW. 37:31 >> AMEN. >> WONDERFUL. 37:33 >> SO THAT WAS A SEED THAT WAS PLANTED A WHILE AGO, AND 3ABN 37:37 AND THE LORD BROUGHT THAT TO FRUITION. 37:39 >> ABSOLUTELY. GREAT. 37:45 J JOHNNY? 37:46 >> I WANT TO SHARE THAT THAT WAS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO DO, 37:53 BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I DO EVANGELISM TOGETHER. 37:57 AND BECAUSE OF THE THERAPY SHE IS TAKING, SHE COULDN'T COME. 38:03 SHE WAS GOING TO COME THE LAST WEEKEND, BUT I DIDN'T WANT HER 38:11 TO REINJURE HER RIB. AND SHE HAD SOME DIFFICULTY AS 38:16 WELL, BUT SHE WAS PRAYING, AND ALSO PEOPLE THAT WERE GOING ON 38:22 FACEBOOK -- BECAUSE THIS WAS BEING SHOWN ON 3ABN LATINO, AND 38:26 WE WANT TO PRAISE THE LORD FOR GOOD NEWS TV THAT THEY HAVE A 38:33 CREW, BUT THEY WERE THE ONES -- 3ABN PARTNERED WITH 38:37 THEM, AND OF COURSE, WE -- THERE WAS -- WE HAD TO PAY A CERTAIN 38:42 AMOUNT THAT THEY DISCOUNTED AS WELL, BUT WE PRAISED THE LORD 38:45 THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PUT THIS ON THE AIR. 38:48 WHAT HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE ON THE AIR? 38:50 THERE WAS THIS -- THIS MAN WATCHING AT HOME, THE SERIES, 38:55 AND HE DIDN'T COME DURING THE WHOLE 15 SERMONS. 38:58 HE CAME ON SERMON NUMBER 14. >> OKAY. 39:01 >> SO SERMON NUMBER 14, WE MAKE AN APPEAL FOR BAPTISM. 39:07 HE STANDS UP. AND HE IS BAPTIZED THE NEXT DAY 39:11 AS THE RESULT OF WATCHING 3ABN AT HOME. 39:14 I'M WALKING OUT FRIDAY NIGHT, AND THE PASTOR IS THERE HAVING A 39:19 MEET, AND I SAID DO I NEED TO BE HERE? 39:22 AND HE SAID NO, WE'RE MEETING WITH THE ELDERS, WE'RE TALKING 39:27 ABOUT BAPTISM. WE'RE BAPTIZING 19. 39:30 I SAID PRAISE THE LORD. AND THE NEXT DAY COMES, SOME 39:35 PEOPLE GET SICK. THERE WAS A MAN WHO DIDN'T WANT 39:37 TO BE ON TV TO BE BAPTIZED, AND A FEW PEOPLE HAD TO GET MARRIED. 39:43 [ LAUGHTER ] >> THIS IS AMAZING. 39:45 THIS IS AMAZING WHAT LORD GOD DOES. 39:49 WE TALKED TO THIS LADY, THE PASTOR SAID CAN YOU COME AND 39:52 MEET WITH THIS LADY? WE WANT TO TALK TO HER. 39:55 AND WE'RE TALKING TO HER, AND SHE WAS IN TEARS. 39:59 SHE HAD BEEN AN ADVENTIST BEFORE AND WALKED AWAY, AND SHE WAS OUT 40:04 IN THE WORLD DOING THINGS, AND DURING THE CONVERSATION, SHE 40:08 SAYS I WANT TO GET RIGHT WITH THE LORD. 40:10 I WANT TO BE REBAPTIZED. AND THE PASTOR SAID WE WOULD 40:16 LOVE FOR YOU TO BE BAPTIZED, BUT THIS MAN THAT HAS BEEN COMING 40:20 WITH YOU? ARE YOU AND HIM LIVING TOGETHER? 40:22 AND SHE SAID NO, I ALREADY TOLD HIM, THAT HAS TO STOP. 40:26 I TOLD HIM WE WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING, AND WE HAVE TO 40:29 STOP, AND SO WE'RE NOT LIVING TOGETHER. 40:32 AND HE SAYS -- HE SAYS HE'S VERY, VERY INTERESTED AS WELL. 40:38 AND HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO COME LISTEN TO THIS PASTOR 40:42 PREACH. HE SAYS I DON'T KNOW FOR SOME 40:44 REASON I WANT TO KEEP HEARING WHAT HE HAS TO SAY, HE SAYS HE 40:50 BEATS ME UP WITH SOME OF THE THINGS HE SAYS, BUT I ENJOY 40:54 HEARING WHAT HE HAS TO SAY. SO THAT'S ALL THE HOLY SPIRIT. 40:58 >> YES. >> GOD WORKING. 41:01 GOD TOUCHING LIVES. THERE WAS ANOTHER MAN THAT WAS 41:05 BAPTIZED. HIM AND HIS WIFE -- I KEPT 41:08 HEARING TRANSLATION IN THE SERVICE WHILE I'M PREACHING IN 41:12 SPANISH, AND I KEEP H HER -- HEARING A TRANSLATION. 41:19 AND THAT LADY WOULD SAY THANK GOD, WE'RE BLSSED. 41:24 AND IT TURNS OUT THAT SHE WAS A BAPTIST, AND SHE WAS ATTENDING 41:29 THE CHURCH. HER HUSBAND WANTED TO BE 41:32 BAPTIZED, AND HE PASTOR SAID SHE WANTED TO COME IN BY 41:38 PROFESSIONAL FAITH. AND THE PASTOR SAID I WOULD LOVE 41:41 TO SEE HER GET INTO THE BAPTISMAL TANK, WOULD YOU TALK 41:50 TO HER. AND I SAID TO EDWARDO WOULD YOU 41:55 LIKE YOUR WIFE TO GET BAPTIZED WITH YOU? 41:58 THEY WERE ALREADY MARRIED. AND HE SAID, OH, YES, I WOULD 42:01 LOVE THAT, BUT THAT'S UP TO HER. OH, I WAS THINKING OF COMING IN 42:07 BY PROFESSION OF FAITH, BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO BE BAPTIZED 42:14 TOGETHER. AND I SAID LADIES FIRST. 42:16 AND HE SAID, OH, YES. [ LAUGHTER ] 42:20 >> AND EDWARDO IS IN THE BAPTISMAL TANK, AND I SAID ARE 42:25 YOU READY? AND HE SAID YES, FINALLY. 42:29 FINALLY. AND THAT'S THE JOY OF PEOPLE 42:30 THAT ARE BAPTIZED WHEN THEY ARE GIVING UP THEIR LIFE TO THE 42:35 LORD. THERE IS A JOY ON THEIR FACE 42:37 THAT YOU CAN'T GET FROM ANYWHERE. 42:40 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> IT'S JUST WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR 42:42 HEART TO THE LORD, YOU KNOW YOU ARE A NEW CREATURE IN JESUS 42:47 CHRIST. >> THAT'S GOOD. 42:47 >> AMAZING. >> GREG. 42:49 >> OH, MY, I THINK TO THINK IN MY MIND, GREG, TALK SLOWLY. 42:55 I'M GOING TO TALK SO FAST PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT 43:00 I AM SAYING.-GOD IS SO GOOD. THIS SERIES WAS AMAZING. 43:06 I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH THANK YOUS TO THE CREW. 43:09 WE HIT THE GROUND ON FEBRUARY 20TH. 43:12 AND I KNOW IT'S FEBRUARY, BUT WHEN WE LANDED IN PHOENIX, I 43:15 EXPECTED IT TO BE MUCH WARMER. IT WAS CHILLY. 43:19 MY DEAR WIFE, WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO SHOOT A PRE-EYESIGHT, 43:25 MY WIFE WAS LITERALLY SHAKING OUTSIDE. 43:29 >> IT WAS SO COLD. >> BUT IT WARMED UP TO THE 80S 43:35 JUST THIS WEEK. THERE WAS 80. 43:38 HERE THERE WAS A LITTLE SNOW ON THE GROUND. 43:41 BUT WHAT A BLESSING TO BE THERE. THE CREW WORKED LONG, LONG 43:46 HOURS. WITH THE SET UP FOR PARADISE, 43:49 AND THEN THE ROOM IN THE HOTEL. THE HOTEL WAS SO GRACIOUS TO US. 43:54 THEY GAVE US A REALLY NICE CONFERENCE ROOM FREE OF CHARGE. 44:01 >> PRAISE THE LORD. >> THEY UPGRADED OUR INTERNET, 44:05 CHARGED IT FOR US, AND THEN CREDITED IT BACK TO US. 44:10 AND YOU HAVE ALL OF THE REGULAR HOTEL GUESTS COMING THERE, AND 44:16 THEY COULD SEE THIS ROOM, AND I THINK WE HAD 13 LAPTOPS, AND A 44:21 NICE -- I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 12 FEET LONG -- HE WAS IN CHARGE OF 44:27 ALL OF THE REMOTE GEAR -- IT WAS 12 FEET LONG, AND IT WAS FULL OF 44:35 ALL OF OUR CAMERAS. SO HOTEL GUESTS WOULD BE EATING 44:40 BREAKFAST, AND THE DOOR WOULD BE OPEN AND THEY WOULD POKE THEIR 44:43 HEAD IN. AND IT WAS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE TO 44:47 SEE ALL OF THE COMPUTERS, AND THEY WOULD SAY WHAT IS GOING ON? 44:51 SO WE WOULD GET TO EXPLAIN WHAT 3ABN IS ALL ABOUT. 44:55 AND WE APPRECIATE YOU MR. TIM. AND TIM HAD A GRAND PIANO IN HIS 45:05 HOTEL ROOM. [ LAUGHTER ] 45:06 >> NO. >> THAT WAS GOOD TIM. 45:08 SO HE HAD A KEYBOARD THERE AND HAD CUSTOMIZED MUSIC TO SOME OF 45:17 THESE. >> PRAISE THE LORD. 45:19 >> AND WE HAD WHAT IS CALLED A JELLY FISH, WHICH IS A HARD 45:24 DRIVE SYSTEM THAT IS A HUB, AND ALL OF THESE 13 COMPUTERS WOULD 45:30 HOOK TO THAT. LET'S SAY BRAD WALKER WAS 45:32 EDITING THE SHOW, AND I HAD SOMEONE NEXT TO HIM DOING THE 45:38 GRAPHICS ON THE SAME FILE, AND NEXT TO THEM IS SOMEONE WITH 45:41 AUDIO, SO YOU WERE ABLE TO WORK OFF OF THIS ONE CENTRAL HUB, SO 45:45 IT JUST SPED THINGS UP REALLY, REALLY QUICKLY. 45:49 WHEN WE ADDED IT ALL UP, IT WAS OVER 100 HOURS IN FINISHED 45:59 PROGRAMMING THAT CAME FROM THE TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. 46:01 >> YOU THINK IN TWO AND A HALF WEEKS 100 HOURS OF PROGRAMMING 46:08 THAT IS EDITED AND IS ON AIR. WE NEVER PRODUCE STUFF OF THAT 46:14 QUANTITY THAT QUICKLY. >> YES, PRAISE THE LORD. 46:19 AND I HAD A CREW MEMBER THAT GOT SICK. 46:22 HE SAID I DON'T FEEL GOOD. AND I SAID, YOU HAVE A ROOMMATE? 46:26 AND HE SAID YES. SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET HIM OUT 46:31 OF HIS ROOM TO IT DIDN'T SPREAD TOO BAD. 46:34 BUT I APPRECIATE THE CREW SO MUCH TOO, BECAUSE IN THE 46:38 MORNING, YOU HAVE WOULD SAY HOW ARE YOU DOING? 46:41 PRETTY GOOD. AND THEY WOULD STILL HAVE A 46:43 LITTLE SMILE. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ON A DAILY 46:46 BASIS WHAT WE'RE DOING IS AN IMPACT NOT JUST FOR NOW, BUT FOR 46:51 AN ETERNITY. AND YOU DON'T KNOW AFTER WE'RE 46:55 GONE, BUT ALSO THOSE THAT IT'S REACHING AROUND THE WORLD, SO IT 47:07 WAS A PRIVILEGE. AND CLIMBING UP THE TRESS, PAST 47:12 ON THE JOHN DINZEY WAS AMAZING. THE LIGHTS WERE JUST STROBING 47:17 ALMOST TO MAKE YOU DIZZY AT 6:30, WHEN THE PRESHOW WOULD 47:25 START, THE STROBING WOULD STOP. >> IT WAS A MIRACLE. 47:31 >> ONE GUY TOLD ME HE WAS AT A MEETING, AND THE PASTOR SAID TO 47:36 HIM THEM -- IT WAS A TENT MEETING. 47:39 HE SAID WE'RE HAVING POWER PROBLEMS, BUT DON'T WORRY ABOUT 47:45 IT. IF THE POWER GOES OFF, I'LL 47:47 CONTINUE TO PREACH, AND THE LIGHTS WILL BE BACK MOMENTARILY. 47:51 SO THIS PERSON -- I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A TRUE STORY OR NOT. 47:55 BUT SAYS THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, THE PASTOR IS SPEAKING, AND ALL 48:02 OF A SUDDEN SOMEBODY SCREAMS OUT, BRETHREN PRAY FOR ME! 48:08 I HAVE GONE BLIND! [ LAUGHTER ] 48:11 >> THIS PERSON HAD FALLEN ASLEEP AND DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THE POWER, 48:16 AND THEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON ABOUT THAT TIME, SO HE 48:23 SHEEPISHLY SAT BACK DOWN. ANYWAY, SORRY TO BREAK UP YOUR 48:28 STORY. >> THAT WAS GOOD. 48:30 >> THE CREW WAS WORKING REALLY HARD. 48:32 MOST OF THE TIME THAT I WENT IN, EITHER GREG OR JILL OR BOTH WERE 48:37 THERE. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HOURS 48:38 THEY WORKED THEMSELVES, BUT THEY WERE WORKING HARD, AND IT WAS 48:43 AMAZING. THE LORD ANSWERS SO MANY 48:48 PRAYERS, AND PART OF THE WORK, I THINK WAS, AND I THINK I 48:50 MENTIONED HERE, IS THE LORD BRINGS US IN, GIVES US A BOOST 48:56 IN OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE -- >> AMEN. 48:59 >> AND ALSO SOMETHING HAPPENS IN THE CONGREGATION. 49:02 THE LORD USES US TO BRING REVIVAL AND REFORMATION IN THE 49:09 CHURCH. I MEAN, IT'S AMAZING WHAT GOD 49:13 DOES. THE PASTOR WAS IS A TREMENDOUS 49:15 PASTOR. WORKED VERY HARD 49:17 I DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD A PRAYER REQUEST FOR THE LORD DURING THIS 49:22 EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN. HE WANTED THE LORD TO BLESS WITH 49:26 100 VISITORS COMING TO THE CHURCH, AND ON SATURDAY 49:29 AFTERNOON, HE SAYS I HAVE HERE, 101 VISITORS. 49:38 THE LORD ANSWERED MY PRAYERS. IT WAS AMAZING. 49:42 I WAS GOING TO SHARE ANOTHER STORY, BUT I'LL STOP HERE. 49:45 >> ALL RIGHT. JILL. 49:47 >> I'M SO EXCITED I CAN HARDLY SIT HERE. 49:50 TO HEAR THE MIRACLES AND EXPERIENCE WHAT GOD DID THERE IN 49:56 PHOENIX, THERE IS NOTHING LIKE BEING PART OF BOOTS ON THE 50:00 GROUND EVANGELISM. 3ABN IS ALL ABOUT EVANGELISM 50:03 HERE, BECAUSE THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF 3ABN IS TO SPREAD AN 50:08 UNDILUTED THREE ANGELS' MESSAGES TO A LOST AND DIEING WORLD, BUT 50:14 AT THE SAME TIME TO BE IN THE TRENCHES WITH PEOPLE, AND SEE 50:19 GOD WORK NIGHT AFTER NIGHT. WE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING TO 50:22 SEVERAL OF THE CHURCHES AND SEE THE HOLY SPIRIT BEING POURED 50:26 OUT. MOST OF THE TIME WE WERE AT THE 50:33 PARADISE CHURCH, AND GOD USED THE PASTOR IN AN AMAZING WAY. 50:41 WHEN WE WENT TO RUSSIA, I FELT LIKE I LEFT A PIECE OF MYSELF 50:45 THERE. I FEEL LIKE I'M PART RUSSIAN. 50:47 MY FAMILY IS THERE. AND I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT 50:54 PARADISE VALLEY. I FEEL LIKE A PART OF MY HEART 50:58 IS LEFT WITH YOU ALL THERE. PASTOR JIM HAKES AND HIS LIFE, 51:08 AND THE HEAD ELDER, AND THE HEAD DEACON, AND HE IS THERE THE 51:14 ENTIRE TIME FROM THE MINUTE WE GET THERE IN THE MORNING TO LATE 51:18 AT NIGHT, CLAUDIO DID SUCH A GREAT JOB. 51:22 >> [ INAUDIBLE ]. >> AND ALICE SA, THAT'S RIGHT. 51:26 AND THEY HAD KIDS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT COME IN AND SHARE AND 51:30 LEARN AND GROW.

THE CONFERENCE WAS A PRIVILEGE 51:44 AND JOY TO WORKER.

FEEL CONNECTED WITH WHAT GOD WAS-pDOING AT EACH OF THE DIFFERENT 52:36 SITES. PASTOR JOHN REFERENCED 52:38 JACK -- JACK AND JOSIE, AND THEIR STORY IMPACTED ME IN A 52:43 SPECIAL WAY, BECAUSE I WASN'T THERE PREACHING. 52:46 LIKE EACH ONE OF THESE GENTLEMEN, AND SHELLEY, ON THE 52:51 FRONT LINE, FEEL LIKE, WOW, YOU HAVE A PART IN BRINGING PEOPLE 52:55 TO JESUS. AND ONE NIGHT I WAS THERE 52:57 ANOTHER THE ENTRANCE TO THE CHURCH, AND JACK AND JOSIE 53:04 WALKED IN, AND THEY SAID, YOU ARE JILL. 53:07 AND THEY HAD BEEN WATCHING 3ABN. AND EVRY NIGHT WE WOULD TALK 53:13 AND IT WOULD BE CONNECTED. AND I KNOW IT WAS THE WORK OF 53:17 THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND I KNOW IT WAS PASTOR JOHN'S PREACHING, BUT 53:21 I HAD JUST A LITTLE PART IN HELPING SOMEONE COME TO JESUS. 53:25 >> AMEN. >> AND THERE IS NOTHING BETTER 53:28 THAN THAT, AND TO KNOW THAT GOD CAN USE EVEN ME TO HELP BRING 53:34 SOMEONE TO JESUS IS INCREDIBLE. >> AMEN. 53:37 >> THAT COUPLE WAS -- EVERY NIGHT THEY WOULD WALK IN, AND 53:44 ANGIE WOULD GET TOGETHER WITH THEM AND TALK WITH THEM. 53:47 WE GOT THEIR PHONE NUMBER TO KEEP IN TOUCH. 53:52 AND EVEN HER CHURCH WHERE SHE WAS RAISED. 53:54 SHE SAID LOOK IT UP. AND I HAD TO SIT DOWN WITH HER, 54:02 AND SAY, BUT NOW GOD WANTS YOU HEAR. 54:06 AND HER HUSBAND SAID, I'M A LITTLE AFRAID ABOUT OUR FUTURE. 54:10 AND I SAID DO YOU THINK GOD WOULD CALL YOU TO MAKE YOUR 54:14 FUTURE WORST THAN YOUR PAST? AND HE SAID YOU ARE RIGHT. 54:18 SO PARADISE WAS PARADISE. >> AND TIM DID MUSIC THERE. 54:22 JUST INCREDIBLE JOB WITH THE MUSIC. 54:24 >> SPEAKING ABOUT MUSIC, I WANT TO SHARE AND PRAISE THE LORD, 54:28 THAT STEPHANIE DAWN WAS ABLE TO SING IN OUR CHURCH IN SPANISH. 54:32 AND ONE OF THE SONGS SHE SANG, PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE MINISTRY 54:38 OF DELL DECKER, WHO PASSED AWAY RECENTLY, SHE SANG ONE OF DEL 54:47 DECKER'S SONGS. >> AND LINDEN CAME TOO? 54:55 >> YES. >> SO NOW WHAT? 54:57 WHAT HAPPENS -- NOW THAT WE'RE GONE, IS THE CHURCH GOING TO 55:01 CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE PEOPLE? 55:03 >> PARADISE IS STARTING -- THEY STARTED A THREE DAY A WEEK 55:06 REVELATION SEMINAR.
