I AM EXCITED BECAUSE OF OUR 01:42 PROGRAM, AND I -- I -- WE CALL THEM GUESTS, BUT THEY ARE NOT 01:48 GUESTS, THEY ARE REALLY MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY, THAT ARE HERE 01:51 WITH ME TONIGHT. WE SPENT A LOT OF THE WEEK 01:56 TOGETHER DOING PROGRAMMING, SO IT'S LIKE A REUNION. 02:00 >> THAT'S RIGHT. [ LAUGHTER ] 02:02 >> BUT WE HAVE A WONDERFUL PROGRAM. 02:06 WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT AGRO-EVANGELISM. 02:10 THAT'S A NEW WORD. I KNOW IT'S A NEW WORD, BECAUSE 02:15 IT'S MINE. I INVENTED IT. 02:16 I ADDED IT TO THE LEXICON. WE'RE GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT IN A 02:26 NUMBER. BUT FIRST I WANT TO INTRODUCE 02:30 THE PEOPLE HERE. JILL MORIKONE ASSISTANT GENERAL 02:37 MANAGER. >> GENERAL MANAGER AT THIS 02:38 POINT. >> THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH. 02:40 >> THAT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR WHAT I CAN TAKE RIGHT NOW. 02:42 >> YOU ARE A BUSY LADY.-GENERAL MANAGER, JILL MORIKONE. >> SHE IS. 02:49 >> PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, THE PRODUCER FOR OUR SABBATH 02:53 SCHOOL PANEL, AND INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER, SHELLEY QUINN GOOD TO 02:56 HAVE YOU HERE. >> IT'S LOVELY TO HAVE YOU HERE. 02:59 THANK YOU.

AND JOHNNY GOOD TO HAVE YOU 03:33 HERE, MAN. [ LAUGHTER ] 03:34 >> WE ARE TALKING ABOUTING A -- AGRO-EVANGELISM. 03:40 LET'S GO TO THE DEFINITION.-I WANT TO THANK MARK DAVIS FOR HELPING ME WITH SOME VERBIAGE. 03:50 IT'S PERSONAL EVANGELISM, CONDUCTED OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH 03:54 BY OR FOR INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS IN PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SETTINGS. 03:59 THAT'S AGRO-EVANGELISM. THAT'S MY DEFINITION, AND SINCE 04:03 IT'S MY WORD, THAT'S THE DEFINITION FOR AGRO-EVANGELISM, 04:08 BUT THE KEY IT IS PERSONAL EVANGELISM. 04:11 THIS IS PERSONAL EVANGELISM. THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE ALL 04:15 CALLED TO DO, AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN JUST A LITTLE 04:18 BIT. IT'S CONDUCTED OUTSIDE OF THE 04:20 CHURCH. SO THIS IS NOT BRINGING A BUNCH 04:23 OF THE PEOPLE INTO THE CHURCH TO DO A SIT-DOWN MEETING. 04:26 THIS IS A PERSONAL EFFORT BY YOU AS A CHILD OF GOD TO LEAD 04:30 SOMEONE TO JESUS CHRIST, AND HOWEVER THE LORD IMPRESSES YOU, 04:34 GIVEN THE SKILL SET THAT YOU HAVE, YOU UTILIZE THOSE SKILLS 04:38 TO LEAD PEOPLE TO JESUS CHRIST, AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT 04:42 THE VARIOUS FACETS OF AGRO-EVANGELISM, AND THAT WHAT 04:48 THIS PANEL IS FOR, TO DELVE INTO THE DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN DO 04:54 AGRO-EVANGELISM, THE NEED FOR AGRO-EVANGELISM, AND WHY IT IS 04:56 SO IMPORTANT. THIS IS THE YEAR OF PRESENT 04:59 TRUTH HERE AT 3ABN. >> AMEN. 05:02 >> AND AGRO-EVANGELISM IS PART OF PRESENT TRUTH, THE IDEA THAT 05:05 IN THESE LAST DAYS EACH OF US IS CALLED TO GET OFF OF TH COUCH 05:10 AND INTO THE GAME IS PRESENT TRUTH. 05:13 RELIGION, CHRISTIANITY, HAS NEVER BEEN A SPECTATOR SPORT. 05:18 YOU HAVE GOT TO BE ON THE FIELD, AND IF THAT WAS EVER TRUE, IT 05:23 CERTAINLY IS TRUE NOW THAT GOD'S PEOPLE MUST BE ABOUT THEIR 05:26 FATHER'S BUSINESS, SO THAT'S WHAT AGRO-EVANGELISM IS ALL 05:30 ABOUT. IT'S EVANGELISM CONDUCTED BY 05:32 GROUPS OR INDIVIDUALS IN A PUBLIC SETTING, AGRO, MEANING 05:36 THE MARKETPLACE, OR THE PUBLIC SQUARE, WHERE A DISCOURSE WAS 05:43 HELD. THAT'S AGRO, I LIKE AGRO, YOU 05:49 HAVE HEARD THE WORD AGRO PHOBIA, FEAR OF PUBLIC PLACES. 05:58 SO THIS IS EVANGELISM CONDUCTED IN PUBLIC SPACES OUTSIDE OF THE 06:03 CHURCH. WHATEVER THE LORD CALLS DO YOU 06:05 DO THAT IS AGRO-EVANGELISM. BEFORE WE GO TO OUR MUSIC -- LET 06:10 ME DO THIS, LET ME GIVE YOU A PRIMER OF WHAT IS GOING TO 06:14 HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT TWO HOURS. WE'RE GOING TO LEAD OFF 06:17 WITH -- WITH SHELLEY, AND SHE IS GOING TO BE TALK ABOUT THE 06:23 PRIESTHOOD OF ALL DELIVERS. THIS CAME AS PART OF THE 06:26 PROTESTANT REFORMATION, THE IDEA THAT ALL OF US ARE CALLED TO BE 06:31 PRIESTS, AND TO LEAD OTHERS TO CHRIST. 06:35 PASTOR KENNY WILL TALK ABOUT ELLEN WHITE'S CALL FOR EACH 06:39 MEMBER TO BE INVOLVED IN EVANGELISM. 06:41 AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE FOUND IS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE 06:45 SCARED TO GO INTO EVANGELISM. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR 06:48 HOW TO SAY IT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DANNY 06:51 SAYS CONSIST ENG-- CONSISTENTLY IS START WITH YOUR PERSONAL 07:00 TESTIMONY, AND IF YOU PRAY ABOUT IT, GOD WILL SHOW YOU A WAY TO 07:04 MEET THE NEEDS OF THAT PERSON AND TURN THAT PERSON TO JESUS 07:07 CHRIST, AND IT'S EXCITING TO SEE THE MANY AND VARIED WAYS. 07:12 AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT. 07:15 AND WENT' EAR GOING TO GO TO JILL AND TALK ABOUT INTERCESSORY 07:22 PRAYER. BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF THE 07:27 OVERALL EVANGELISTIC THRUST THAT EACH PERSON CAN DO. 07:37 AND THEN THE GROWTH IN THE LATINO CHURCH. 07:41 SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS HE IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT, AND ADD 07:45 A COUPLE OF SURPRISES ALSO, AND THEN -- AND THEN GREG IS GOING 07:50 TO TALK ABOUT DOING GOOD ON THE SABBATH, HOW DOING GOOD ON THE 07:55 SABBATH CAN BE PART OF AN OVERALL EVANGELISTIC THRUST, SO 08:00 WE'RE LOOKING AT THESE FROM THE -- THE -- THE ANGLE OF 08:04 EVANGELISM, AND THEN SHOULD TIME LAST, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT 08:07 CREATIVE WAYS THAT I HAVE TRIED AND PROVEN IN MY MINISTRY TO 08:11 BRING PEOPLE TO THE LORD THAT ARE SORT OF OUTSIDE OF THE NORM, 08:15 BUT THEY DO WORK, BECAUSE I HAVE TRIED THEM. 08:18 ALSO -- WE'LL START WITH THIS NOW. 08:20 WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO SEND IN PRAYER REQUESTS US TO TONIGHT, 08:24 THAT WE WANT TO PRAYER FOR AND READ, BUT WE WANT TO GIVE YOU 08:29 SOME -- >> PARAMETERS. 08:31 >> THANK YOU, SHELLEY, I WAS GOING TO SAY STRICTURES, BUT 08:37 PARAMETERS ARE MUCH MORE APPROPRIATE. 08:39 TODAY WE DON'T WANT TO PRAY FOR OURSELVES. 08:42 WE WANT TO PRAY FOR OTHERS. IF THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS IN YOUR 08:45 FAMILY THAT YOU ARE PRAYING FOR, A LOST SON OR DAUGHTER, A 08:49 PARENT, CHILD, COUSIN, SOMEONE THAT YOU ARE PRAYING FOR, THAT 08:54 YOU ARE INTERCEDING FOR, WE WOULD LIKE TO ASSIST YOU IN THAT-INTERCESSION TONIGHT. 09:01 FIRST NAME ONLY, PLEASE, IF YOU WILL, BUT WE WANT -- AND WE KNOW 09:05 WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS. GALLBLADDERS AND CANCER, AND 09:10 OTHER PROBLEMS, BUT TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT OTHERS 09:13 WHO WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE COME TO THE LORD, OR WHO NEED HELP FROM 09:17 THE LORD OR WHO NEED HEALING FROM THE LORD, SO WE'RE PRAYING 09:21 FOR OTHERS AS PART OF OUR OVERALL EVANGELISTIC THRUST. 09:26 SO EVEN NOW YOU CAN SEND IN THOSE NAMES IF YOU WILL CALL, 09:37 618-627-4651, 618-627-4651, OR LIVE@3ABN.TV, WE WILL GET 09:39 THOSE -- AND AS GET THOSE, WE'RE GOING TO BRING THOSE HERE AND 09:43 PRAY FOR THEM. AGAIN, WE'RE PRAYING FOR 09:46 OTHERS -- NOT FOR OURSELVES TONIGHT. 09:48 WE'RE PRAYING FOR OTHERS WHO MAY NEED HELP WHO WE ARE TRYING TO 09:52 BRING TO THE LORD. WE ARE INTERCEDING, AND WE WANT 09:55 TO ASSIST IN THAT. BEFORE WE GO TO SHELLEY QUINN, I 09:58 WANT TO TOUCH ON THIS READING, AND THEN GO TO OUR MUSIC, AND 10:02 THEN COME BACK AND SHELLEY IF YOU WILL LAUNCH OUT AT THAT 10:07 POINT. LET ME GO TO THIS READING. 10:10 THIS ACTUALLY COMES FROM A FUTURE SABBATH SCHOOL EXCEPT. 10:15 I SAW THIS EARLIER TODAY. IT'S CALLED A SACRED CHARGE. 10:19 CHRIST HAS GIVEN TO THE CHURCH A SACRED CHARGE. 10:24 EVERY MEMBER SHOULD BE A CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH GOD CAN 10:28 COMMUNICATE TO THE WORLD THE TREASURES OF HIS GRACE. 10:32 THE UN -- UNSER. ABLE RICHES OF CHRIST. 10:41 HE WILL EVENT TO THE WORLD HIS SPIRIT AND HIS CHARACTER. 10:44 THERE IS NOTHING THE WORLD NEEDS SO MUCH AS THE MANIFESTATION 10:48 THROUGH HUANITY OF THE XAVIER'S LOVE. 10:52 THAT'S WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IN THESE LAST DAYS. 10:54 >> AMEN. >> ALL HEAVEN IS WAITING FOR MEN 10:58 AND WOMAN THROUGH WHOM GOD CAN REVEAL THE POWER OF 11:02 CHRISTIANITY. I REPEAT, ALL HEAVEN IS WAITING 11:05 FOR MEN AND WOMAN THROUGH WHOM GOD CAN REVEAL THE POWER OF 11:10 CHRISTIANITY. LONG HAS GOD WAITED FOR THE 11:13 SPIRIT OF SERVICE TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE WHOLE CHURCH, 11:17 SO THAT EVERYONE SHALL BE WORKING FOR HIM ACCORDING TO HIS 11:23 ABILITY. GOD HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THAT A 11:24 LONG TIME. >> YES. 11:26 >> WHEN THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF GOD DO THEIR APPOINTED 11:31 WORK IN THE NEEDY FIELDS AT HOME, AND ABROAD, IN FULFILLMENT 11:36 OF A GOSPEL COMMISSION, THE WHOLE WORLD WILL SOON WILL BE 11:40 WARNED AND THE LORD JESUS WILL RETURN TO THIS EARTH WITH POWER 11:45 AND GREAT GLORY. >> WOW. 11:47 >> AMEN. >> AMEN. 11:50 >> SO THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS FROM US, AND FOR US, AND THAT IS WHAT 11:54 THE WORLD NEEDS. >> YES. 11:56 >> YES. >> IT NEEDS A REVELATION OF 11:58 JESUS CHRIST. BEFORE WE GO TO SHELLEY QUINN, 12:01 WE GO NOW TO THE BURCHFIELD BROTHERS. 12:06 TWO WONDERFUL MEN WHO HAVE BEEN HERE MANY, MANY TIMES. 12:09 EXCELLENT MUSICIANS, JILL. >> OH, THEY ARE. 12:12 >> JUST FABULOUS MUSICIANS, AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE 12:16 PLAYING -- I LOVE THIS ONE -- "BE STILL MY SOUL." 12:20 ♪ 13:16 ♪ ♪ 14:44 ♪ ♪ 15:42 >> THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. BUT NOW WE'RE SO RELAXED, I 15:47 DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN DO THIS. THAT WAS GORGEOUS. 15:49 WHAT IS EVANGELISM? EVANGELISM IS JUST SHARING THE 15:54 EVER-LASTING GAS PELL. IN THAT IS WHAT THE FIRST 15:58 ANGEL'S MESSAGE IS, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SHARE THE 16:03 EVER-LASTING GOSPEL WITH THE ENTIRE WORLD. 16:07 AND I LVE THE FACT THAT IT IS AN EVER-LASTING GOSPEL. 16:11 IT'S AN INTERNAL COVENANT, IT IS THE EVER-LASTING COVENANT, 16:18 BECAUSE THE LAMB WAS SLAIN FROM THE BEGINNING -- BEFORE THE 16:21 FOUNDATION. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 16:22 >> SO I WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE, BECAUSE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT 16:27 PRIESTHOOD AND COVENANTS, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT 16:32 MEANS. SO LET ME BAC UP FOR A SECOND 16:34 TO LAY THIS FOUNDATION. WE KNOW THAT THE -- THE 16:39 EVER-LASTING COVENANT WAS INTRODUCED IN GENESIS 3:15 WHEN 16:46 GOD SAID THAT HE WAS GOING TO PUT 'EM NANTY BETWEEN THE SEED 16:51 OF THE WOMAN AND THE SURPANT. JESUS CHRIST WAS GOING TO CRUSH 16:57 THE HEAD OF THE SURPANT. THE SURPANT WOULD MERELY BRUISE 17:02 HIS HEEL. NOW THE COVENANT THEN 17:05 PROGRESSED, AND I WANT -- IF THERE'S ANYTHING I WANT PEOPLE 17:08 TO UNERSTAND, IT'S NOT THAT GOD HAS SEPARATE COVENANTS. 17:12 THE COVENANTS AR ALL A PROGRESSIVE REVELATION. 17:17 >> WELL SAID -- >> -- OF GOD'S PLAN OF 17:21 SALVATION. THE COVENANT PROGRESSES TO 17:24 ABRAHAM, ABRAHAM, WE KNOW -- HIS FAITH WAS ACCOUNTED TO HIM. 17:29 AND IN GENESIS 22:18 -- WE WO'T TAKE THE TIME TO TURN THERE NOW, 17:34 BUT HE SAID, IN YOUR SEED, ALL OF THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WILL 17:40 BE BLESSED, BECAUSE -- WHY? BECAUSE YOU OBEYED MY VOICE. 17:44 NOW WHEN GOD RENEWED THAT COVENANT WITH ISAAC, HE SAID THE 17:48 SAME THING. THIS IS JUST A RENEWAL OF THE 17:52 COVENANT. AFTER ABRAHAM'S DEATH HE SAID, 17:58 IN GENESIS 24:4-5. I WILL GIVE TO YOUR DESCENDANTS 18:09 ALL OF THIS LAW, AND ALL OF THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED IN YOUR 18:14 SEED. WHY? 18:15 BECAUSE ABRAHAM OBEYED MY VOICE, KEPT MY COMMANDMENTS AND MY 18:19 LAWS. NOW I DO WANT YOU TO TURN TO 18:24 EXODUS 2, AND WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT VERSES 24 AND 25, AND 18:29 THERE IS A REASON I WANT TO DO THIS. 18:31 SOME PEOPLE THINK THE MOW SAYS AK COVENANT TEMPORARILY SET 18:42 ASIDE THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT. THAT'S NOT SO. 18:45 IT NEVER REPLACED THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT, IN FACT IT WAS 18:52 BUILDING ON IT. EXODUS 2:24-25, SO GOD HEARD 18:58 THEIR GROANING -- SPEAKING OF THE HEBREW CHILDREN WHO ARE IN 19:04 BONDAGE AND SLAVERY, AND GOD REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT WITH 19:11 ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND CAKE ON, AND GOD LOOKED UPON THE CHILDREN OF 19:17 ISRAEL AND GOD ACKNOWLEDGED THEM. 19:19 SO THIS IS A COVENANT -- I MEAN, GOD IS GETTING READY TO 19:25 REESTABLISH THE SAME COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM, WITH THE 19:31 ISRAELITES. NOW LET'S LOOK AT EXODUS -- AND 19:33 I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING IN EXODUS -- LET'S LOOK AT 19:4-6. 19:44 JILL, WILL YOU READ THAT, PLEASE. 19:46 >> YOU HAVE SEEN WHAT I DID TO THE EGYPTIANS AND HOW I BORE YOU 19:51 ON ENGEL'S WINGS, AND BROUGHT YOU TO MYSELF. 19:55 >> OKAY. THIS IS COVENANT LOVE LANGUAGE. 19:59 GOD IS SAYING TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, I HAVE ALREADY SAVED 20:03 YOU. I BROUGHT YOU THROUGH -- YOU 20:06 KNOW, HE -- THEY WERE BROUGHT OUT OF THE -- OF BONDAGE, AND 20:11 INTO SALVATION. GOD HAD ALREADY SAVED THEM, AND 20:13 HE IS SAYING LOOK WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR YOU. 20:16 I HAVE BORN YOU ON EAGLES WINGS TO MYSELF. 20:20 GO AHEAD. >> NOW THEREFORE IF YOU WILL 20:22 OBEY MY VOICE AND KEEP MY COVENANT, THEN YOU SHALL BE A 20:28 SPECIAL TREASURE TO ME ABOVE ALL PEOPLE. 20:32 AND YOU SHALL BE TO ME A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS AND A WHOLLY NATION, 20:37 THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH YOU SHALL SPEAK TO THE CHILDREN OF 20:40 ISRAEL. >> SO HE IS TELLING MOSES, YOU 20:44 TELL THESE PEOPLE THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT IS IN YOUR SEAT. 20:49 GOD BROUGHT THEM OUT AND HE WANTED THEM TO GO SHARE THE GOOD 20:53 NEWS OF THIS LOVING GOD, AND SO WHAT HE DID IN -- IN THE 21:02 TEMPORARY MOSAIC COVENANT, HE HAD THEM BUILD A SANCTUARY. 21:09 AND IN THE OUTER CORE WE SEE THERE WAS AN ALTER OF BURNT 21:16 OFFERINGS. THAT REPRESENTS THE SACRIFICE OF 21:20 JESUS CHRIST, THE CRUCIFIXION. THEN THERE WAS A LABOR. 21:25 I THINK THE PRIESTS HAD TO DAILY -- BEFORE THEY COULD GO 21:30 INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD THEY HAD TO WASH IN THIS LABOR -- 21:34 >> I'M CLOSER TO THAT. BECAUSE THERE WAS NO MITVAH 21:39 THERE, SO IT WAS THE REPRESENTATION OF THE MITVAH. 21:45 >> ABSOLUTELY. SO THEY ARE CLEANSING 21:47 THEMSELVES -- THIS WOULD BE REPENTANCE, SO THEY ARE 21:53 REPENTING BEFORE THEY GO INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD. 21:56 NOW WHEN YOU GO INTO THE HOLY PLACE, ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE 22:01 THERE IS THE SEVEN-BRANCH CANDLE ON ARE.-AND ANY LABOR EVENTS US GETTING 22:17 RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL 22:21 AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS. 22:23 BUT THEN NOW ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE IS THE TABLE, AND JESUS 22:27 SAID I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. HE ALSO SAID IN MATTHEW 4:4, 22:36 THAT MEN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT 22:41 COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. SO THAT BREAD REPRESENTS JESUS 22:45 CHRIST THE LIVING WORD. THEN WE HAVE GOT THE ALTER OF 22:49 INCENSE. AND AS THE INCENSE -- REVELATION 22:54 TALKS ABOUT THE BOWLS OF INCENSE, BUT CHRIST ADDS HIS 22:59 INCENSE, HIS PRAYERS TO OURS, BECAUSE HEBREW 7:25 SAYS HE IS 23:06 EVER-LIVING TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR US. 23:08 >> AMEN. >> SO THE REASON I WANTED TO DO 23:12 THAT -- >> AND WHERE IS THAT LOCATED? 23:14 >> THAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VEIL, AND JESUS SAYS I AM THE 23:23 WAY TO TRUTH AND LIFE. HE OPENED THE VEIL SO WE GO INTO 23:27 THE HOLIEST OF HOLIES, AND THERE IS THE THROWN OF GOD. 23:30 WE HAVE ACCESS RIGHT TO THE THROWN OF GOD, TO THE FATHER. 23:34 NOW, THE REASON I WANTED TO MENTION THIS IS, WHAT WERE THE 23:38 DAILY SERVICES OF THE PRIEST? FIRST, THEY OFFERED -- THEY 23:45 RECEIVED THE OFFERINGS, AND MADE THE OFFERINGS OF THE PEOPLE. 23:49 ALL RIGHT? THEY CLEANSED AT THE LABOR. 23:53 THEY ADD OIL DAILY TO THE SEVEN-STICK CANDELABRA. 24:00 ONCE A WEEK THEY CHANGED THE BREAD, AND THEN THEY WERE 24:03 MINISTERING AT THE ALTER OF INCENSE, ONLY ONCE A YEAR DID 24:09 THEY GO INTO THE MOST HOLY PLACE, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT. 24:15 LET'S TURN TO 1 PETER 2:9. WE HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED THAT 24:20 GOD WANTED HIS PEOPLE TO BE A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS FROM THE VERY 24:24 BEGINNING. THIS IS JUST PART OF GOD'S PLAN. 24:26 I THIK IT IS AMAZING THAT HE ALLOWS US TO PARTICIPATE IN 24:33 GOING OUT AND HELPING LEAD PEOPLE TO HIM IN THE PLAN OF 24:38 SALVATION. SO I JUST LOOKED UP AT THAT 24:40 LIGHT, AND I'M BLINDED. [ LAUGHTER ] 24:42 >> LET'S LOOK AT 1 PETER 2:9, AND, GREG, WOULD YOU READ THAT 24:49 PLEASE. >> SURE, 1 PETER 2:9 SAYS BUT 24:52 YOU A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD AND HOLY NATION THAT 25:00 YOU SHOULD SHOW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO HAS CALLED 25:04 YOUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT. 25:06 >> ALL RIGHT. SO A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, WE'RE 25:08 JUST LIKE THE ISRAELITES, WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAVED. 25:12 IT'S NOT OUR SERVICE THAT SAVES US, BUT GOD WANTS US ALL TO BE 25:16 ABLE TO BLESS ALL OF THE NATIONS, AND LET'S LOOK AT 25:21 HOW -- AS A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL PRIESTHOOD -- FIRST OF ALL A 25:26 HOLY NATION MEANS YOU ARE A SPECIAL PEOPLE. 25:29 >> AMEN. >> THERE IS SOMEBODY THAT NEEDS 25:31 TO HEAR THIS. YOU ARE WORTH NOTHING LESS THAN 25:36 THE PRICE THAT GOD PAID TO REDEEM YOU, AND THAT IS WITH THE 25:42 PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. SO HERE WE ARE NOW, A ROYAL 25:48 PRIESTHOOD, CHOSEN GENERATION, AND WHAT DO WE DO? 25:52 SAME THING THAT THE PRIESTS -- WHEN YOU SAY, WELL, 25:54 WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE PART OF THE PRIESTHOOD? 25:59 WELL, NOW WE DON'T MAKE PHYSICAL SACRIFICES, BUT IF YOU LOOK BACK 26:06 AT 1 PETER 5, HE SAYS YOU ALSO HAS LIVING STONES ARE BEING 26:10 BUILT UP A SPIRITUAL HOUSE, A HOLY PRIESTHOOD TO OFFER UP 26:17 SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES, ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. 26:20 >> AMEN. >> SO WE LEAD -- AS A MEMBER OF 26:24 THE ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, WE SHOULD BE A PEOPLE OF PRAISE. 26:28 WE SHOULD BE CONSTANTLY OFFERING UP AND SHOWING PEOPLE BY OUR 26:33 VERY DEMEANOR AND OUR ACTIONS THAT WE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE 26:36 IN THE LORD, WHO APPRECIATE THE LORD AND HIS COVENANT. 26:40 >> YES. >> THEN WE REPENT, DAILY, ASK TO 26:46 BE CLEANSED, 1 JOHN 1:9 -- >> YES. 26:51 >> NOW WHAT ABOUT THE DAILY SERVICES OF THE PRIESTHOOD? 26:55 WHAT ABOUT THE CANDELABRA. THE SEVEN-BRANCHED CANDELABRA, 27:04 WE'RE TO REFLECT THE LIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST. 27:06 >> AMEN. >> OH, HAT'S GOOD. 27:09 >> HE IS LIKE THE SUN. WE'RE LIKE THE MOON. 27:13 WE HAVE NO LIGHT OF OUR OWN. BUT WE REFLECT THE LIGHT OF THE 27:19 SON OF GOD. >> AND SHELLEY IF I CAN JUST 27:24 PUT -- HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON FOR A SECOND, THAT YOU ARE FILLED 27:29 WITH THE SPIRIT WHICH IS THE OIL THAT YOU ARE FILLED WITH. 27:34 I WANTED TO ADD THE IDEA THAT THE SANCTUARY -- WHEN THEY WENT 27:38 TO THE SANCTUARY, THEY WERE ALSO GOING TO SCHOOL. 27:41 GOD WAS TEACHING THEM THROUGH THE SERVICES, THE INSTRUMENTS, 27:45 THE IMPLEMENTS, AND THE WORK OF THE PRIESTS, THAT THIS IS HOW 27:49 YOU ARE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE. THE SANCTUARY DOCTRINE, IS ONE 27:54 OF THE SINGULAR DOCTRINES THAT THE ADVENTIST CHURCH HAS THAT IS 27:59 ADDED TO THEOLOGY, THE IDEA THAT THERE IS SALVATION IN THE LIGHT 28:06 OF THE SANCTUARY. IT'S A MIRROR OF A KIND OF LIFE 28:10 THAT THE LORD WANTS EACH OF US TO LIVE. 28:12 >> ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. 28:14 AND THAT WAS THE PURPOSE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT 28:16 THIS -- WE KNOW MOSES WAS ABLE TO READ AND WRITE, BUT THE 28:20 PEOPLE WERE NOT. >> YES. 28:21 >> THEY HAD BEEN IN BONDAGE FOR CENTURIES -- 28:24 >> PRECISELY. >> THEY COULD NOT, SO THIS IS 28:29 WHY GOD HAD THE SANCTUARY BUILT. SALOMON SAID, THY WAY OH LORD IS 28:40 IN THE SANCTUARY. >> AMEN. 28:42 >> THE PATH OF GOD, HOW TO GET BACK TO GOD WAS SHOWN IN THE 28:48 SANCTUARY, AND IT WAS A TEACHING SCHOOL. 28:50 THEY WERE IN THE SCHOL OF CHRIST, SO AS YOU SAID, CA, IN 28:55 ZECHARIAH 4, IT TALKS ABOUT THE OIL AND -- AS THOSE PRIESTS 29:01 DAILY ADDED THE OIL, THAT WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT, SO EVERY DAY, 29:07 YOU AND I SHOULD BE ASKING GOD TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY 29:11 SPIRIT. >> AMEN. 29:12 >> THEN THE TABLE OF SHOW BREAD WOULD REPRESENT OUR BIBLE STUDY, 29:18 BUT THE PRIEST CHANGED THAT SHOW BREAD EVERY WEEK. 29:22 WE SHOULD BE GIVING OTHERS ENCOURAGEMENT. 29:26 MAYBE YOU SAY, I CAN'T LEAD A BIBLE STUDY. 29:29 IF YOU CAN'T, JOIN SOMEBODY WHO CAN. 29:32 JOIN FORCS, OR JUST WRITE OUT SOME ENCOURAGING SCRIPTURES, AND 29:39 HAND IT TO SOMEBODY ON A THREE-BY-FIVE CARD. 29:42 >> YEAH, THAT'S GOOD. >> AND THE ALTER OF INCENSE 29:47 STANDINGS FOR OUR INTERCESSORY PRAYER WHICH JILL IS GOING TO 29:52 COVER. IN ISAIAH 15:16, THE BIBLE SAYS 29:57 THAT GOD SAW THAT THERE WAS NO INTERCESSOR, AND HE WONDERED. 30:03 HE WONDERED. HE WAS IN AMAZEMENT THAT THERE 30:07 WAS NOBODY INTERCEDING ON BEHALF OF -- OF OTHER PEOPLE. 30:11 I THINK HE WONDERED WHY PEOPLE DIDN'T LOVE OTHERS ENOUGH TO DO 30:16 THAT, AND WHY THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT HE COULD REALLY 30:19 MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AND I'M GOING TO ADD ONE MORE 30:23 THING. WE KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT SAVED BY 30:29 WORKS, BY OBEDIENCE, THE WHOLE IDEA OF COVENANT, WHEN GOD WAS 30:34 TELLING HIS PEOPLE, YOU'LL BE TO ME A -- A SPECIAL TREASURE. 30:41 HE WANTED AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM THAT 30:46 WOULD INCLUDE THEIR LOYALTY, THEIR LOVE, AND OBEDIENCE IS AN 30:54 EXPRESSION OF LOVE AND LOYALTY. >> AMEN. 30:56 >> AND I DO WANT TO SAY HEBREWS 5:9 SAYS THIS, HAVING BEEN 31:03 PERFECTED, SPEAKING OF JESUS CHRIST, HE BECAME THE AUTHOR OF 31:08 ETERNAL SALVATION TO ALL WHO OBEY HIM, AS MEMBERS OF THE 31:14 PRIESTHOOD, WE SHOULD BE WALKING IN OBEDIENCE AS WELL. 31:19 >> WELL SAID. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 31:21 FOR EXAMPLE YOU ARE GOING TO SEE ME PASSING THESE PAPERS TO 31:24 MY -- MY COHORTS IN MINISTRY, BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO READ 31:28 THEM, AND THEY ARE COMING IN ALREADY. 31:30 SO IF YOU EACH TAKE ONE, AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO PASS THEM 31:34 DOWN. WE'RE GOING TO PRAY FOR THOSE IN 31:37 JUST A MOMENT -- IN FACT LET'S DO THIS NOW, IN PREPARATION. 31:42 PASTOR KENNY, BEFORE WE GO TO YOU, LET'S READ THOSE. 31:48 LET ME -- SHELLEY SINCE YOU JUST FINISHED, WOULD YOU PRAY FOR 31:52 THIS PARTICULAR BATCH. >> SO JILL IF YOU WOULD READ 31:55 THAT, AND THEN EACH ONE OF THEM WE'LL PRAY. 31:58 >> ABSOLUTELY.

YES. 32:26 >> GREG? >> IT SAYS PLEASE PRAY FOR THE 32:30 CONVERSION OF KEVIN AND CHERYL, KURT AND CODY, TAMMY AND RON, 32:34 MIKE AND SKYLAR, AND THIS ONE ALSO SAYS PLEASE PRAY FOR MY 32:40 NIECE CHRISTINA, ON DIALYSIS, HIS HEART IS TOO WEAK FOR A 32:46 TRANSPLANT. >> JOHNNY? 32:47 >> PLEASE PRAY FOR MY SON VAUGHN, PLEASE PRAY FOR MY 32:52 DAUGHTER THAT SHE AND HER FAMILY WILL RETURN TO THE SEVENTH-DAY 32:58 ADVENTIST CHURCH. AND PRAY FOR ARVIL, NEAL, AND 33:02 AIDEN. >> ALL RIGHT. 33:03 NOW BE ASSURED WE WILL TURN THIS OVER TO THE PASTOR DEPARTMENT. 33:08 SO THIS IS NOT A ONE AND DONE. BUT WE WANT TO PRAY FOR THESE 33:12 NOW AS THEY COME IN. WE'RE ASKING YOU FOR REQUESTS 33:16 FOR OTHER INDIVIDUALS. WE KNOW WE EACH HAVE CHALLENGES, 33:20 BUT TONIGHT WE'RE INTERCEDING FOR OTHERS. 33:22 AND JILL IS GOING TO LOOK AT THAT SUBJECT. 33:25 BUT WE'RE INTERCEDING FOR OTHERS. 33:27 SO HAVE YOUR REQUESTS BE FOR THOSE FRIENDS, FAMILY MEMBERS, 33:33 COWORKERS, NEIGHBORHOODS, WE WANT TO ASSIST YOU ON 33:36 INTERCEDING FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS. 33:39 SHELLEY. >> HEAVENLY FATHER WE COME 33:40 BEFORE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND WE HOLD UP THESE PRAYER 33:45 REQUESTS, AND THSE THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN RECEIVED AND JUST 33:48 THOSE ON THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE LISTENING TO MY VOICE 33:51 RIGHT NOW. FATHER, OUR PRAYER IS THAT YOU 33:54 WILL SHINE YOUR LIGHT INTO DARKNESS, OUR PRAYER IS THAT YOU 33:59 WILL OPEN YOUR EYES AND TURN THEM FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT, AND 34:03 THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, AND AN 34:08 INHERITANCE AMONG THOSE WHO ARE SANCTIFIED BY THEIR FAITH IN 34:16 JESUS CHRIST.-AMEN. >> AMEN. 34:20 >> AMEN. AND SHELLEY THANK YOU SO VERY 34:23 MUCH FOR WALKING US THROUGH THE PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS. 34:30 CASTOR KENNY, YOU ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT ELLEN WHITE'S CALL 34:35 FOR EVERYONE TO BE INVOLVED IN EVANGELISM. 34:37 SHE SAID THAT SOMETIMES HER SOUL HAS GONE OUT SO MUCH FOR THOSE 34:44 THAT ARE LOST THAT SHE FEELS SHE WOULD DIE. 34:47 AND THAT'S A BURDEN FOR SOULS. AND GOD HAS CALLED US TO JOIN 34:53 HANDS WITH HIM IN EVANGELISM AROUND THE WORLD. 34:56 >> YES, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT. 34:59 THIS MAY BE QUESTION NUMBER 1. I THINK I READ SOMEWHERE WHERE 35:03 THE BREAD, TALK ABOUT WAS CHANGED ONCE A WEEK, BUT WAS 35:08 CHANGED ON THE SABBATH. WE GO TO CHURCH ON THE SEVENTH 35:13 DAY OF THE WEEK AND WE GET FRESH BREAD. 35:17 YOU GO ON THE FIRST DAY, YOU GET DAY-OLD BREAD. 35:21 [ LAUGHTER ] >> IT'S TRUE. 35:23 THERE'S A REASON WHY. GOD DIDN'T JUST SAY CHANGE IT ON 35:27 ANY OLD DAY. WE NEED FRESH BREAD, FRESH WORD 35:32 EVERY TIME WE COME TOGETHER ON A SABBATH. 35:34 AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EVANGELISM AND TRUTH, AND 35:38 GETTING THE MESSAGE OUT TO THE WORLD. 35:40 AND THE OTHER POINT WAS -- SEASON SAID ONE TIME TO 35:43 ME, THEY SAID IF YOU DO THOSE THREE THINGS YOU MENTIONED -- IT 35:47 TOUCHED MY HEART TO THINK ABOUT, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE WORD OF GOD 35:50 THAT WE READ, AND WE'RE PRAYING AND WITNESSING EVERY DAY. 35:55 THEY SAID IF YOU DO THESE THREE THINGS YOU WILL NEVER BACKSLIDE. 36:05 THAT'S WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT, THOSE THREE -- 36:08 >> LIKE A THREE-LEGGED STOOL -- >> EXACTLY. 36:11 >> KNOCK WOULDN'T -- >> AND YOU ARE TIPPING OVER. 36:14 THANK YOU PASTOR. >> SO WE'RE TALKING EVANGELISM, 36:19 AND THAT'S SOMETHING I'M ALWAYS EXCITED ABOUT, AND EVERYONE HERE 36:22 AT 3ABN IS EXCITED ABOUT. >> AMEN. 36:25 >> I LIKE WHAT YOU SAID, WHAT KIND OF LOVE DO WE HAVE? 36:28 I THINK -- I THINK THAT THIS WOULD FIT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT 36:32 THE LAW OF GOD, FOR INSTANCE. IT SAYS ON THESE TWO ARE ALL THE 36:38 LAW. IT'S OUR DUTY TO GOD, AND OUR 36:40 DUTY TO OUR FELLOW MAN. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 36:43 >> HOW MUCH DO WE LOVE GOD? HOW MUCH DO WE LOVE OUR FELLOW 36:48 MAN. THIS UNCOMP -- ENCOMP PASSES 37:00 EVANGELISM. DO WE LOVE THEM ENOUGH THAT WE 37:03 WERE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THE RECLINER, YOU SEE IN THE 37:07 EVENING. [ LAUGHTER ] 37:08 >> TO GO OUT AND TO GIVE BIBLE STUDIES. 37:11 WE MIGHT SAY WE'RE TOO OLD. WE'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO WORK IN 37:16 THE CAUSE OF GOD. BUT IS THERE A NEED FOR 37:21 EVANGELISM? YES. 37:21 >> AND THAT MEANS IS THERE A NEED FOR WORKERS? 37:25 AND I FOUND THIS IN LETTER 404, WRITTEN IN 1907, BECAUSE WE'RE 37:31 DOING ELLEN G WHITE CALLS FOR EACH MEMBER TO BE INVOLVED. 37:35 SO IT STANDS TO REASON, WE LOOK UP ELLEN WHITE QUOTES. 37:41 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND IT IS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU 37:44 WERE READING. GOD NEEDS WOMEN AND MEN WHO WILL 37:47 WORK IN THE SIMPLICITY OF CHRIST. 37:50 I AM SIMPLE-MINDED, AND I LOVE SINGLE THINGS THEY CAN 37:55 UNDERSTAND. BUT SIMPLICITY IS CHRIST. 37:57 HOW DID CHRIST TEACH? IF CHRIST WANTED TO TEACH, 38:02 WHOEVER HE COULD TAUGHT HE COULD BURY HIM. 38:05 HE DID NOT DO THAT, HE MADE IT SO SIMPLE, AND USED PARABLES SO 38:14 WHEREVER THE YOUNG COULD UNDERSTAND HIM. 38:16 LET'S DO IT IN SAMPLE WAY, TO BRING THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH 38:20 BEFORE THOSE WHO NEED IT'S CONVERTING POWER. 38:24 SO IN EVANGELISM, WHAT IS IT? WE WANT TO BRING THE GOSPEL, 38:28 TRUTH, AND POWER OF GOD, AND BRING CONVICTION SO PEOPLE WILL 38:33 BE CONVERTED. SO THEY CHANGE THEIR LIFE AND 38:37 HEART. FINALLY BROTHER BE STRONG IN THE 38:40 LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. 38:42 >> UH-HUH. >> THAT POSES ANOTHER QUESTION. 38:44 THIS TELLS ME WE NEED POWER FOR -- FOR SUCCESS OR FOR 38:48 SERVICE. >> UH-HUH. 38:50 >> EVANGELISM, LET'S JUST GO DO IT. 38:52 NO, WE NEED POWER, AND WE HAVE TO -- WE HAVE TO APPROACH IT AS 38:57 SUCH FOR SERVICE. APOSTLE 507 SAYS WHAT THE CHURCH-NEEDS. 39:05 US. ME, YOU KNOW, FOR WHAT -- KENNY 39:08 WHAT YOU NEED IN THESE DAYS OF PERIL IS AN ARMY OF WORKERS. 39:12 THIS IS THE CHURCH GETTING INVOLVED THAT YOU WERE TALKING 39:15 ABOUT HERE. MEN WHOSE HEARTS WHERE CHRIST IS 39:19 FORMED THE HOPE OF GLORY. GA LAW SHANS 1:27. 39:29 WE MUST GO IN THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST. 39:32 THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. THAT'S WHAT THE CHURCH NEEDS 39:36 TODAY IS CHRIST FORMED WITHIN. BECAUSE IT GIVES US HOPE AND 39:40 GIVES US ENCOURAGEMENT. NOW TWO, EVANGELISM. 39:43 WHO DOES THE CALLING? I BELIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES 39:46 THE CALLING. THERE IS A REASON THE HOLY 39:48 SPIRIT CALLS, AND THE GOOD NEWS IS FOR YOU AT HOME, THE HOLY 39:53 SPIRIT CALLS ALL OF US. NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, HOW OLD, 39:57 HOW YOUNG YOU ARE, PRAISE GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CALLING YOU 40:01 TO GET INVOLVED TO DO SOMETHING IN THE CAUSE OF CHRIST. 40:03 >> UH-HUH. >> YEAH. 40:05 >> TO ME THAT'S EXCITING TO THINK THAT GOD CAN USE SOMEBODY 40:08 LIKE ME, CAN USE SOMEBODY LIKE YOU OUT THERE, I KNOW YOU ARE 40:13 HIDING BEHIND YOUR CHAIR RIGHT NOW, COME ON OUT. 40:16 [ LAUGHTER ] >> YOU KNOW I'M TALKING TO YOU. 40:20 [ LAUGHTER ] >> LET ME SHARE SOMETHING 40:21 QUICKLY WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT EVERYBODY BEING INVOLVED. 40:26 I REMEMBER BRINGING SOMEBODY HOME FROM A GYC ONE DAY, AND YOU 40:31 KNOW WHAT SHE SAID -- OR I ASKED HER -- I SAID, HOW DO WE KEEP 40:36 YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH? YOU KNOW WHAT SHE SAID? 40:40 GET US INVOLVED. >> AMEN. 40:42 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 40:43 >> SEE, I THINK THAT YOUNG -- WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING 40:46 TO THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH. WE'RE NOT TALKING TO THE OLDER 40:51 FOLK. WE'RE TALKING TO EVERYBODY NEEDS 40:53 TO BE INVOLVED, AND WE NEED TO GET OUR CHILDREN AND OUR YOUTH 40:59 INVOLVED. >> AMEN. 41:01 AMEN. PASTOR KENNY -- AND FORGIVE ME, 41:05 BECAUSE YOU ARE AT PREGNANT PORTION HERE. 41:07 [ LAUGHTER ] >> WHEN I GOT TO -- AND I 41:09 WAS -- WHEN I GOT TO THE [ INAUDIBLE ] SEVENTH-DAY 41:14 ADVENTIST IN FREE PORT, NEW YORK, THE HEAD [ INAUDIBLE ] 41:18 BECAUSE SHE WAS A NOTORIOUS ADVENTIST HATER, BUT HER HUSBAND 41:25 WAS A DEACON IN THE CHURCH. AND WHEN HE PASSED THE CHURCH 41:34 SHOWED HER SO MUCH LOVE, THAT SHE DECIDED TO PRACTICE FISH 41:47 EVANGELISM. SHE WOULD TAKE THE CUPS, THE 41:52 PLATES, THE KNIVES, THE FOLKS, EVERYTHING, A COMPLETE DINNER 41:57 AND DESSERT AND ROBERTA CARTER HAD TWO BIG SONS, BIG GUYS, EAT 42:04 LIKE LOCUSTS. [ LAUGHTER ] 42:09 >> NO 2300 DAYS, NO 144,000, JUST FISH EVERY FRIDAY FOR SIX 42:19 WEEKS. SHE WOULD STAY THERE, CLEAN UP 42:22 EVERYTHING, PUT IT IN PLASTIC BAGS AND TAKE IT. 42:26 AFTER SIX WEEKS, ROBERTA CARTER SAID, TOMORROW WHEN YOU ARE 42:31 GOING TO CHURCH, TAKE ME WITH YOU. 42:33 >> AMEN. >> AND WHEN I WILL GET A YEAR 42:36 LATER, SHE IS THE HEAD DEACONIST IN THE CHURCH. 42:40 SO EVANGELISM IS DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE -- THE TRUTH 42:44 IS, SOME PEOPLE ARE TOO SCARED TO DO A BIBLE STUDY. 42:47 BUT YOU HAVE A TALENT THAT CAN BE USED. 42:51 IF YOU ARE A GOOD COOK, TAKE BREAD, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING 42:55 THAT EVERYBODY CAN DO. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE 42:59 LEADING US TOO. >> PRAISE THE LORD, I CAN SMELL 43:02 THAT BREAD RIGHT NOW. [ LAUGHTER ] 43:04 >> THAT IS LURING. AND IT DOES WORK. 43:06 IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED IT, TRY IT. 43:10 TAKE A FRESH LOAF OF BREAD, BECAUSE THAT STILL WORKS FOR ME, 43:13 AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE CHURCH FOR A LOT OF YEARS. 43:18 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT AN ARTICLE SAID IN -- IF 43:22 THEY -- AND THEN I PUT WE AGAIN, IF WE GO FORWARD IN FAITH IN 43:27 GOD, WE, THEY, WILL NOT FAIL, NOR BECOME DISCOURAGED, BUT WILL 43:36 HAVE THE INSURANCE OF INFOULABLE SUCCESS. 43:40 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE AFRAID TO FAIL. 43:43 THEY ARE AFRAID THEY WON'T HAVE ALL OF THE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS. 43:47 ONE TIME A GUY ASKED ME A QUESTION, AND I DID NOT KNOW THE 43:51 ANSWER, BUT I SAID, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT I'LL GET THAT 43:54 ANSWER, AND IT WILL BE FROM THE WORD OF GOD, AND I'LL BE BACK 43:57 WITH IT. >> AMEN. 43:59 >> AMEN. >> THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL I 44:01 CAME IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST ENOUGH TO TRUST HIM, 44:05 BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID. >> AME. 44:07 >> AND I WAS AFRAID I WOULD BE EMBARRASSED. 44:10 AFRAID I WOULD BE LAUGHED AT A LITTLE BIT. 44:13 BUT AFTER WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST, WE NO LONGER FEAR 44:17 THAT, BECAUSE HOW MANY KNOW EVERYTHING? 44:19 >> WELL SAID. >> SOMETIMES WE MAY NOT HAVE IT 44:22 EXACTLY, BUT WE KNOW WHERE TO GET IT. 44:26 >> AND DO NOT SIT ON THE COUCH BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ALL OF 44:30 THE ANSWERS. >> WHEN WE GO FORWARD, THE 44:36 ASSURANCE IS WE SHALL NOT FAIL. I LIKE THIS, BECAUSE WE'RE 44:41 TALKING ABOUT -- THE BELIEVERS HERE, THE WORKING CHURCH. 44:45 A CHURCH IS NOT WORKING IS A DEAD CHURCH. 44:48 >> PLUS IT'S NOT GROWING. >> YES, THEY SAY DEADER THAN A 44:53 MACKEREL. [ LAUGHTER ] 44:53 >> SO WE NEED ONE. WE NEED SOMETHING THAT IS LIVE 44:56 AND WELL. AND HOW CAN THE CHURCH STAY 45:00 ALIVE? RATHER THAN GET STALE, AND HOW 45:02 DO YOU DO ON SABBATH MORNING, AND NOD YOUR HEAD WHEN THE 45:05 PASTOR IS SPEAKING. KEEP IT ALIVE, WELL, AND FRESH. 45:10 THE BIBLE SAYS IN JOHN 16:23, WHATSOEVER YOU SHALL ASK THE 45:16 FATHER IN MY NAME, WHAT HE WILL DO? 45:18 I'LL GIVE YOU. I'LL DO IT. 45:20 SO THAT IS ASSURANCE THAT WE HAVE HERE. 45:24 TESTIMONY OF MINISTERS. A WORKING CHRCH -- A WORKING 45:31 CHURCH THAT TRAVAILS FOR SOULS. REALLY WANTS SOMETHING TO TAKE 45:35 PLACE. WILLING TO GO OUT -- WILLING TO 45:37 SUFFER A LITTLE HURT, A LITTLE DISAPPOINTMENT -- WHO TRAVAILS 45:43 FOR SOULS WILL BE A PRAYING CHURCH, A BELIEVING CHURCH, AND 45:47 A RECEIVING CHURCH. YOU HAVE TO BE ALL THREE. 45:52 A WORKING CHURCH THAT TRAVAILS FOR SOULS, HAVE A BURDEN FOR 45:56 SOULS, THAT YOU JUST -- YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE, THIS MOVE, 46:01 PEOPLE, THE WAY JESUS LOVED HIM. THIS CHURCH HAS TO BE NUMBER 1, 46:06 A BELIEVING CHURCH. >> AMEN. 46:08 >> THEN IT HAS TO BE A CHURCH -- A PRAYING CHURCH. 46:11 YOU'LL GET INTO THAT. FIRST OF ALL A PRAYING CHURCH. 46:14 A BELIEVING CHURCH, AND THEN A RECEIVING CHURCH. 46:16 >> AMEN. >> YEAH, I LIKE THAT. 46:19 THAT RECEIVING PART, THAT'S GOOD STUFF. 46:22 >> WHY BE PRAYING? >> YES. 46:24 >> AND WHY BE BELIEVING IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO SAY, COME ON, 46:28 BRING THEM IN. I HAVE READ BEFORE, WHEN THE 46:32 CHURCH IS READY, THE PEOPLE WILL COME. 46:34 WHY BRING THEM IN IF YOU HAVE A CHURCH THAT IS NOT REALLY ON 46:38 FIRE? BRING THEM IN, SO THEY CAN GO 46:39 OUT THE DOOR AND NEVER COME BACK. 46:42 IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WE BE THESE WITNESSES. 46:44 YOU HAVE TO CUT ME OFF, PASTOR, I'M GETTING ON A ROLE. 46:48 LOOK OUT NOW. [ LAUGHTER ] 46:50 >> BEFORE HONOR COMES HUMILITY. THIS IS WORKING IN THE CAUSE OF 46:55 CHRIST. TO FEEL HIGH PLACES BEFORE MEN, 46:58 HEAVEN CHOOSES WORKERS WHO LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST TAKES A LOWLY 47:02 PLACE BEFORE GOD. ONE WHO IS SEEKING NOT TO EXALT 47:07 SELF BUT TO SAVE SOULS. >> AMEN. 47:10 >> THIS BEGS THE QUESTION, AND IT DOES FOR ME -- AND IT HAS 47:13 OVER THE YEARS, IS -- DON'T ANYBODY GET OFFENDED, BECAUSE 47:21 I'M NOT PICKING ON ANYBODY OR ANYTHING, OR THAT GUY BEHIND THE 47:25 COUCH. I'M NOT TRYING TO PICK ON HIM. 47:28 BUT HOW MANY OF US WOULD DO WHAT WE ARE DOING TODAY IF WE -- IF 47:34 WE -- YOU KNOW, IF WE GOT NO RECOGNITION? 47:37 HOW MANY OF US WOULD BE DOING WHAT WE ARE DOING IF WE GOT NO 47:42 THANKS? HOW MANY OF US WOULD BE DOING 47:44 WHAT WE'RE DOING EVER DAY IF THERE WASN'T A CAMERA IN OUR 47:49 FACE? HOW MANY OF US WOULD REALLY DO 47:51 THESE THINGS? WOULD WE DO IT? 47:53 WE PRAY TO GOD WE WOULD BE DOING IT. 47:56 BUT TO ME THAT'S THE TEST. THAT WE'RE WILLING TO DO IT THE 48:00 WAY JESUS WOULD DO IT. HE WOULD RATHER BE ONE ON ONE. 48:04 HE WENT TO THE HIGHWAYS AND BIWAYS, WE COMPELLED THEM TO 48:09 COME IN. EVANGELISM IS A NICE BIG CHURCH, 48:12 WONDERFUL PEOPLE, BUT HOW ABOUT ONE ON ONE, AM I WILLING TO 48:16 SACRIFICE TIME AND MEANS TO MEET WITH THIS ONE PERSON, SOMEONE 48:22 THAT NEEDS CHRIST, SOMEONE WHO IS HURTING, AND WHO NEEDS TO BE 48:27 BROUGHT INTO THE FOLD. AND HOW DO WE KNOW THAT? 48:31 BECAUSE WE GET TO KNOW THAT PERSON AND INVITE THEM TO COME 48:35 IN. HOW MANY OF US WOULD DO -- 48:37 >> UH-HUH. >> IT GOT KIND OF QUIET IN HERE. 48:42 [ LAUGHTER ] >> THAT GUY IS STILL HIDING BACK 48:44 THERE -- >> PASTOR, WE'RE FEELING YOU. 48:47 I DON'T WANT THE BRETHREN TO BRING UPPING 49:01 A -- AGRO-EVANGELISM AGAIN. BECAUSE THAT IS THE CRUX. 49:05 IT WASN'T TH LIGHTS AND THE CAMERAS, IT WAS THAT VID WORK. 49:16 THE -- HERE IT IS. PERSONAL EVANGELISM, CONDUCTED 49:22 OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH, BY OR FOR INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS -- IT CAN 49:27 BE ME GOING MYSELF, OR JILL AND GREG GOING TOGETHER, OR A SMALL 49:33 GROUP GOING TOGETHER, IN PUBLIC, OR PRIVATE SETTINGS. 49:36 SO IT CAN BE IN THAT HOME, IN THAT CLOSET WORKING TOGETHER, OR 49:41 OUT IN THE MARKETPLACE. WE HAVE HAD PEOPLE -- TALKED TO 49:44 PEOPLE AT WAL-MART, AND OTHER KIND OF PLACES, JUST FINDING AN 49:51 OPPORTUNITY TO LIFT UP THE NAME OF JESUS. 49:53 >> I WAS GOING TO SAY PRISON MINISTRIES. 49:57 >> VERY MUCH SO. VERY MUCH SO. 49:59 PASTOR, W'LL GIVE YOU A MINUTE OR TWO MORE. 50:01 >> YEAH, ONE MORE. >> YOU ARE KIND OF ON 50:05 FIRE -- YOU ARE BURNING AND NOT BEING CONSUMED LIKE THAT BUSH. 50:11 [ LAUGHTER ] >> ONE MORE QUOTE. 50:12 I LIKE THIS, THIS IS TESTIMONIES TO MINISTERS PAGE 204, AGAIN, 50:18 TALKING ABOUT THE WORKING CHURCH. 50:20 A WORKING CHURCH ON EARTH IS CONNECTED WITH THE WORKING 50:23 CHURCH ABOVE. >> OH, PRAISE THE LORD. 50:25 >> IF WE'RE WORKING DOWN HERE, IT'S A AN AUTOMATIC CONNECTION 50:30 WITH WORKING WITH HEAVENLY BEINGS. 50:35 GOD WORKS, ANGELS WORK, AND MEN SHOULD BE WORKING FOR THE 50:39 CONVERSION OF SOULS. >> AMEN. 50:41 >> WHAT AN EXAMPLE THAT IS SET FOR US. 50:43 >> AMEN. >> HEAVEN IS ALL BUSY. 50:47 WE NEED TO BE BUSY EVANGELIZING. >> THANK YOU. 50:51 I'M GETTING EXCITED. THIS IS GOOD STUFF. 50:54 I'M GOING TO ASK THE BRETHREN IF YOU CAN PULL UP CHANGE AND 51:00 GROWTH IN GOD'S WORK. BEFORE I DO THAT, WE WANT TO 51:04 REMIND YOU, WE'RE INTERCEDING. AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT 51:10 INTERCESSORY PRAYER, BUT WE WANT YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS TO COME. 51:15 WE'RE PRAYING FOR OTHERS, FAMILY MEMBERS, COWORKERS, NEIGHBORS, 51:21 PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW WHO NO LONGER WALK WITH HE LORD. 51:24 THOSE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE COME TO THE LORD. 51:27 I THINK WE ALL KNOW INDIVIDUALS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE COME 51:31 TO THE LORD, OR INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE LEFT THE LORD. 51:36 THERE ARE MANY, MANY WHO NEED TO COME TO THE LORD OR BACK TO THE 51:41 LORD. WE WANT TO ASSIST YOU IN THAT 51:43 PRAYER THIS NIGHT. SO SEND THOSE NAMES IN. 51:48 CHANGE IN GROWTH AND GOD'S WORK. ARE WE READY FOR THAT? 51:51 OR DO I NEED TO GO TO JILL? JUST LET ME KNOW. 51:55 THEREFORE WE GO. OKAY. 51:57 VERY QUICKLY -- ELLEN WHITE SAYS, WE NEED WORKERS WHO CAN 52:02 PUT NEW LIFE INTO OLD METHODS OF LABOR, AND CAN INVENT NEW PLANS 52:07 OF AWAKENING THE INTERESTS OF THE CHURCH MEMBERS. 52:11 THE CHURCH MEMBERS NEED TO BE PIN PRICKED SOMETIMES ALSO. 52:15 >> YES. >> SO WE NEED TO FIND NEW AND 52:18 CREATIVE WAYS TO DO THAT, TO ENGUISE THE CHURCH SO THAT A 52:23 CHURCH IS READY TO RECEIVE THOSE WHO COME, AND TO GO OUT AN GET 52:27 OTHERS IN THE NAME OF JESUS. NOW THE SECOND ONE, MEANS, MEANS 52:32 WILL BE DEVISED TO REACH HEARTS, SOME OF THE METHODS USED IN THIS 52:37 WORK WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE METHODS USED IN THE WORK IN THE 52:41 PAST, BUT LET NO ONE BECAUSE OF THIS BLOCK THE WAY BY CRITICISM. 52:47 SOMETIMES YOU HAVE GOT TO DO NEW THINGS. 52:50 YOU CAN'T DO THE SAME THING, THE SAME WAY, AND EXPECT RESULTS. 52:54 3ABN 30 YEARS AGO WAS NOT EVEN HEARD OF. 53:00 TELEVISION? YOU KNOW? 53:01 SO NEW METHODS. BUT DON'T GET IN THE WAY, LET 53:04 THE LORD LEAD. AND THIS IS LETTER 45, THERE ARE 53:08 SOME MINDS WHICH DO NOT GROW WITH THE WORK. 53:11 >> UH-HUH. >> BUT ALLOW THE WORK TO GROW 53:15 BEYOND THEM. THOSE WHO -- THOSE WHO DO NOT 53:20 DISCERN AND ADAPT THEMSELVES TO THE INCREASING DEMANDS OF THE 53:23 WORK, SHOULD NOT STAND BLOCKING THE WHEELS AND THUS HINDERS THE 53:28 ADVANCEMENT OF OTHERS. WE HAVE NEW PROGRAMMING, AND 53:33 SHELLEY IN HER DEPARTMENT, THEY THINK OF NEW WAYS TO PRESENT THE 53:36 GAS PELL. IT MAY NOT BE YOUR CUP OF TEA, 53:40 BUT YOU HAVE YOUNG MINDS, THE INTERNET, JILL -- WE'RE TRYING 53:47 TO INCREASE OUR PRESENCE ON THE INTERNET. 53:49 NEW STUFF. >> I WAS JUST THINKING TWO 53:51 THINGS. NUMBER 1, I WAS SPEAKING AT AN 53:56 ISI RALLY. AND A WOMAN GOT UP TO GIVE A 54:00 TESTIMONY. AND SHE AND HER FRIEND ARE ON 54:02 YOUTUBE, AND ALL THEY -- JUST THE TWO OF THEM, THEY WERE 54:06 TAPING THEMSELVES. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID? 54:10 THEY JUST STARTED READING THE BIBLE, READING SPIRIT OF 54:15 PROPHECY, AND THEY HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FOLLOWERS. 54:19 IT'S JUST AMAZING. >> UH-HUH. 54:21 >> SO THAT IS ONE OF THE NEW WAYS PEOPLE REACH OUT. 54:28 BUT IF YOU ARE PLANNING AN EVANGELISTIC SERIES -- WERE EAR 54:32 NOT NECESSARILY TALKING AGRO-EVANGELISM RIGHT NOW, BUT 54:37 IF YOU ARE PLANNING AN EVANGELISTIC SERIES, THE MOT 54:42 EFFECTIVE METHOD IS NOT GOING TO BE FLYERS, ADVERTISING ON TV OR 54:47 RADIO, THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD IS EACH MEMBER SHOULD BE 54:52 INVITING AT LEAST ONE PERSON. >> YES. 54:54 >> UH-HUH. >> AND WHEN YOU INVITE THAT 54:56 PERSON TO AT TEN, AND THEY SAY YES, YOU PICK THEM UP. 55:01 >> THAT'S RIGHT. [ LAUGHTER ] 55:03 >> AMEN. >> SO THEY CAN'T HAVE THAT 55:09 EXCUSE NOT TO SHOW UP. AND YOU SEE CHURCHES -- AND 55:14 THERE WAS A VERY BIG NAMED PERSON WHO HAD BEEN IN PHOENIX A 55:17 COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE US, AND WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS THEY THOUGHT 55:23 THE DRAW OF THIS PERSON WAS GOING TO BRING IN THE 55:26 PEOPLE -- AND THEY DID ALL OF THIS ADVERTISING. 55:29 GUESS WHAT? NOT EVEN THE CHURCH MEMBERS ALL 55:32 SHOWED UP. THEY JUST HAD A COUPLE OF POPLE 55:34 SHOW UP. SO NO ONE INVITED ANYBODY. 55:38 IT'S ALL ABOUT CARING ENOUGH TO WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR THE TRUTH 55:42 ABOUT GOD'S LOVE. >> AMEN. 55:44 >> TIME HAS PROVEN -- AND JILL, WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU, 55:48 A COLD CONTACT, A FLIER IN THE MAIL, THE RESPONSE IS LESS THAN 55:54 5%. USUALLY LESS THAN 1%. 55:56 YOU CAN SEND OUT 100, 000 FLIERS AND YOU WON'T GET AS MANY PEOPLE 56:09 AS SITTING NEXT TO SOMEBODY AND SAYING LISTEN,. COME TO CHURCH 56:17 WITH ME. >> JILL, I WANT YOU TO KIND OF 56:19 GET STARTED -- AND THEN WE'LL STOP AND LET YOU PICK IT UP ON 56:23 THE OTHER SIDE. MEANWHILE I'M GOING TO PASS OUT 56:28 SOME OF THESE. >> I'M EXCITED. 56:30 I'M EXCITED SHELLEY AS YOU LAUNCHED OUT AT THE BEGINNING 56:35 ABOUT THE PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS. 56:39 YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO BE A CHURCH LEADER IN 56:43 ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN EVANGELISM, AND SPREAD THE 56:46 GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. GOD WANTS TO USE EACH ONE OF 56:50 YOU. AND AS WE MOVE INTO THIS 56:54 INTERCESSION, STANDING IN THE GAP, IN THE BEHALF OF SOMEONE 56:58 ELSE. I WANT TO READ THAT SCRIPTURE, 57:03 ISAIAH 59 THAT SHELLEY TALKED ABOUT. 57:07 AND YOU MIGHT SAY, I CAN'T STAND IN THE GAP FOR OTHERS. 57:11 GOD CAN USE EACH ONE OF US, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO PRAY SPECIAL 57:16 PRAYERS? WE DON'T HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING 57:18 FANCY, GOD HEARS THE CRY OF OUR HEART ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE ELSE. 57:23 >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE 57:25 MORE TIME. I WANT TO PUT A LITTLE BOW ON 57:28 THAT ALSO. WE'RE COMING DOWN TO THE END OF 57:31 OUR FIRST HOUR. DON'T FORGET, WE WANT TO ASSIST 57:34 YOU IN YOUR PRAYERS. WE HAVE GOT A BUNCH OF THINGS 57:37 WE'RE GOING TO READ AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE 57:41 JILL CONTINUE. STAY WITH US, WE'RE GOING TO BE 57:46 GONE FOR JUST 2 MINUTES AND 2 SECONDS, AND THEN WE'LL BE BACK. |
