>> AND WE ARE BACK. WE
HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
00:00:08.74\00:00:12.37
AGRO-EVANGELISM.
EVANGELISM THAT EACH OF US IS
00:00:12.37\00:00:16.81
CALLED TO DO PERSONALLY FOR OUR
LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
00:00:16.81\00:00:26.79
WHEREVER YOU FIND YOURSELF IN
THE STORE, IN THE SUPERMARKET,
00:00:26.79\00:00:29.39
ON THE PLANE, YOU ARE CALLED
TO LIFT UP THE LIGHT OF JESUS.
00:00:29.39\00:00:39.53
AND ARE TALKING
ABOUT THAT TONIGHT.
00:00:39.53\00:00:42.60
AND I AM VERY, VERY EXCITED
BECAUSE OF THIS SUBJECT MATTER.
00:00:42.60\00:00:48.48
AND THE FAMILY IS HERE.
WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE THEM ALL
00:00:48.48\00:00:53.78
HERE. AND WHEN WE
LEFT, JILL, YOU WERE
00:00:53.78\00:00:58.29
WALKING US THROUGH INTERCESSORY
PRAYER, WHICH I INCLUDED IN
00:00:58.29\00:01:02.26
AGRO-EVANGELISM, BECAUSE
IT IS A MEASURE OF EVANGELISM.
00:01:02.26\00:01:04.93
>> AMEN. >> AND
BRINGING PEOPLE TO THE
00:01:04.93\00:01:08.63
LORD. SO LET'S CONTINUE.
00:01:08.63\00:01:10.13
>> I THINK INTERCESSORY PRAYER
IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL WAYS
00:01:10.13\00:01:13.47
THAT WE CAN
WITNESS FOR THE LORD JESUS.
00:01:13.47\00:01:16.57
WHAT IS AN INTERCESSOR?
A PERSON WHO INTERVENES ON
00:01:16.57\00:01:21.78
BEHALF OF ANOTHER.
ESPECIALLY WITH PRAYER.
00:01:21.78\00:01:24.95
GOING BEFORE THE FATHER,
AND INTERVENING, INTERCEDING ON
00:01:24.95\00:01:30.49
SOMEONE ELSE'S BEHAVE. I
WANT TO READ THIS ONE MORE
00:01:30.49\00:01:34.22
TIME. TURN WITH ME TO ISAIAH 29.
00:01:34.22\00:01:38.76
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT
INTERCESSORY PRAYER FOR OTHER
00:01:38.76\00:01:42.00
PEOPLE. BUT
BEFORE WE DO THAT, I JUST
00:01:42.00\00:01:43.97
WANT TO TALK FOR A MOMENT ABOUT
OUR OWN NEED FOR AN INTERCESSOR,
00:01:43.97\00:01:48.70
THAT IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
ISAIAH 59 IS KIND OF A SUMMARY
00:01:48.70\00:01:54.84
OF THE MAJOR ISSUE IN THE
BOOK OF ISAIAH, AND THAT IS
00:01:54.84\00:02:01.25
SEPARATION FROM GOD THE FATHER.
WE KNOW IN THE BEGINNING,
00:02:01.25\00:02:05.02
A -- SIN CREATED FEAR AND GUILT.
SIN CREATED SEPARATION FROM GOD
00:02:05.02\00:02:09.46
THE FATHER. WE
SEE THAT IN GENESIS 3,
00:02:09.46\00:02:13.83
REMEMBER ADAM AND EVE THEY
ALWAYS WALKED WITH GOD IN THE
00:02:13.83\00:02:18.23
COOL OF THE DAY, AND AFTER THEY
PICKED OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
00:02:18.23\00:02:24.87
AND SINNED, WHAT HAPPENED?
GOD CAME IN THE COOL OF THE DAY,
00:02:24.87\00:02:29.11
AND THEY HID
THEMSELVES AND THEY WERE AFRAID.
00:02:29.11\00:02:31.71
SIN CREATED A
CHASM BETWEEN US AND GOD.
00:02:31.71\00:02:37.49
AND WE NEEDED AN INTERCESSOR,
SOMEONE TO BRIDGE THE GAP.
00:02:37.49\00:02:47.23
ISAIAH 59:1-2 IS A CONDITION WE
FIND OURSELVES IN, WHEN WE ARE
00:02:47.23\00:02:56.27
IN THAT SIN. YOUR
SINS HAVE SEPARATED YOU
00:02:56.27\00:02:59.04
FROM GOD AND YOUR SINS HAVE
HIDDEN HIS FAITH FROM YOU, SO
00:02:59.04\00:03:02.88
THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR.
HAVE YOU EVER FELT THAT WAY?
00:03:02.88\00:03:08.25
I KNOW I HAVE. THERE
HAVE BEEN TIME WHEN I HAVE
00:03:08.25\00:03:12.09
BEEN PRAYING, AND I FEEL LIKE
MY PRAYERS HIT THE CEILING, AND
00:03:12.09\00:03:17.03
THEY BOUNCE BACK
AND COME BACK DOWN.
00:03:17.03\00:03:19.06
SOMETIMES THAT'S THE RESULT
OF SEPARATION FROM MY SOUL AND
00:03:19.06\00:03:22.16
JESUS. NOW THAT
DOES NOT MEAN HE WANTS
00:03:22.16\00:03:24.53
TO SEPARATE FROM ME. IT
MEANS THAT SOMEHOW THAT SIN
00:03:24.53\00:03:28.50
IS STANDING IN THE WAY.
AND IF YOU GO ON THROUGH ISAIAH
00:03:28.50\00:03:33.14
59 -- WE WON'T READ THE WHOLE
THING -- BUT IT TALKS ABOUT
00:03:33.14\00:03:36.78
GOD'S PEOPLE BEING IN DARKNESS,
STUMBLING AROUND AT NOON, AND
00:03:36.78\00:03:41.68
THEN IN VERSE 14, IT TALKS
ABOUT JUSTICE BEING TURNED BACK,
00:03:41.68\00:03:47.36
RIGHTEOUSNESS STANDING FAR OFF,
TRUTH FALLING IN THE STREET.
00:03:47.36\00:03:52.73
EQUITY CANNOT EVEN
ENTER. SO THIS IS A DARK PLACE.
00:03:52.73\00:03:55.56
AND THEN WE SEE IN VERSE
16, HE SAW THERE WAS NO MAN AND
00:03:55.56\00:04:02.20
WONDERED THAT THERE WAS NO
INTERCEPTOR, THEREFORE HIS OWN
00:04:02.20\00:04:11.45
RIGHTEOUSNESS SUSTAINED
HIM. AND TO THOSE WHO TURN FROM
00:04:11.45\00:04:16.42
TRANSGRESSION IN JACOB. SO
WE'RE ALL SEPARATED FROM THE
00:04:16.42\00:04:21.02
FATHER, BUT JESUS IS OUR IN
INTERCESSOR, HE BRIDGES THE GAP
00:04:21.02\00:04:28.56
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH.
AND GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN
00:04:28.56\00:04:31.70
LOVE FOR US, IN THAT WHILE WE
WERE YET SINNERS, WHILE WE WERE
00:04:31.70\00:04:36.37
STILL ESTRANGED
FROM GOD, HE DIED FOR US.
00:04:36.37\00:04:43.68
AND JUSTIFIED BY HIS
BLOOD, WE WERE BROUGHT BACK INTO
00:04:43.68\00:04:48.22
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
WE SHALL WILL SAVED FROM THAT
00:04:48.22\00:04:52.82
WRATH AND
JUDGMENT AND SEPARATION.
00:04:52.82\00:04:56.16
SO YOU MIGHT FEEL FAR FROM GOD.
RIGHT NOW HE IS REACHING OUT HIS
00:04:56.16\00:05:00.56
HANDS FEELING LOVE.
AND HE SAYS I LOVE YOU.
00:05:00.56\00:05:03.47
I DIED FOR YOU WHILE YOU WERE IN
YOUR FILTH AND IN YOUR SIN, AND
00:05:03.47\00:05:08.00
I WANT TO RECONCILE YOU BACK TO
ME BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:05:08.00\00:05:14.21
AND THEN ONC GOD REDEEMS US HE
CALLS US TO DO THE SAME THING.
00:05:14.21\00:05:18.58
HE CALLS US TO STAND IN THE GAP
FOR OTHER PEOPLE BY SAYING THE
00:05:18.58\00:05:22.45
SAME THING, SHELLEY, I DON'T
MEAN WE CAN REDEEM OTHER PEOPLE,
00:05:22.45\00:05:27.29
BUT HE CALLS US TO PRAY AND
INTERCEDE FOR THE SALVATION OF
00:05:27.29\00:05:32.99
OTHER PEOPLE. I THINK
ABOUT MOSES, EXODUS 32,
00:05:32.99\00:05:37.87
THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL -- REMEMBER THEY JUST
00:05:37.87\00:05:39.87
HAD -- EL   -- BUILT THE GOLDEN
CALF, AND MOSES COMES DOWN AND
00:05:39.87\00:05:49.31
SEES THAT, AND HE PRAYS BEFORE
GOD, AND HE SAYS -- FORGIVE
00:05:49.31\00:05:55.55
THEIR SINS AND
BLOT OUT MY NAME. WOW!
00:05:55.55\00:05:59.75
TO SEE THAT --
THAT SENSE OF LOVE?
00:05:59.75\00:06:04.16
>> YES. >>
SOMEONE ELSE IS SHOWING.
00:06:04.16\00:06:05.83
TO THINK THAT I'M WILLING
TO -- TO FORFEIT THAT ETERNITY,
00:06:05.83\00:06:09.83
GOD, AND I WANT YOU TO SAVE
MY SISTER OR MY BROTHER INSTEAD,
00:06:09.83\00:06:15.57
THAT IS LOVE FOR SOMEONE ELSE,
AND IN ORDER TO TRULY INTERCEDE
00:06:15.57\00:06:19.24
FOR SOMEONE, WE HAVE GOT
TO HAVE THE LOVE OF CHRIST.
00:06:19.24\00:06:22.98
NATURALLY WE ARE SELFISH.
AND I THINK ABOUT MY OWN THINGS,
00:06:22.98\00:06:26.38
MY OWN PROBLEMS. GOD
CALLS ME TO GET OUT OF
00:06:26.38\00:06:29.98
MYSELF, AND TO PRAY FOR
THE NEEDS OF OTHER PEOPLE.
00:06:29.98\00:06:33.19
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? I
GO TO GOD AND ASK FOR HIS
00:06:33.19\00:06:37.19
LOVE. ASK HIM TO
PUT THAT LOVE FOR
00:06:37.19\00:06:39.53
SOULS IN MY
HEART FOR OTHER PEOPLE.
00:06:39.53\00:06:41.76
I THINK ABOUT JESUS. IN
LUKE 22:32, HE SAYS SIMON,
00:06:41.76\00:06:47.60
SIMON, SATAN HAS DESIRE TO
SHIFT [ INAUDIBLE ], BUT I HAVE
00:06:47.60\00:06:56.85
[ OVERLAPPING
SPEAKERS ] >> AMEN.
00:06:56.85\00:06:57.78
>> AND WHEN YOU ARE CONVERTED
STRENGTHEN YOUR BRETHREN.
00:06:57.78\00:07:01.78
SO IF YOU HAVE FAMILY
MEMBERS, IF YOU HAVE COWORKERS,
00:07:01.78\00:07:05.65
NEIGHBORS, PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
THAT ARE NOT CONVERTED; THAT
00:07:05.65\00:07:09.36
DON'T KNOW THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST, YOU CAN INTERCEDE, YOU
00:07:09.36\00:07:13.06
CAN STAND IN THE GAP RIGHT NOW
FOR THEM BEFORE THE FATHER, AND
00:07:13.06\00:07:18.13
YOU CAN SAY, LORD JESUS, I
AM PRAYING FOR THEM, AND KNOWING
00:07:18.13\00:07:23.81
AND BEIEVING THAT
GOD CAN SAVE THEIR SOULS.
00:07:23.81\00:07:26.21
GOD IS NOT WILLING THA ANY
SHALL PARRISH, BUT THAT ALL
00:07:26.21\00:07:30.95
SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE. I
WANT TO LOOK AT JUST A COUPLE
00:07:30.95\00:07:35.22
OF MORE THINGS. IF YOU
LOOK AT HOW TO BECOME AN
00:07:35.22\00:07:39.39
INTERCESSOR, I THINK GOD CALLS
US TO ASK HIM FOR SOULS FOR HIS
00:07:39.39\00:07:45.63
KINGDOM. PSALMS
2:8, ASK FOR ME, AND I
00:07:45.63\00:07:48.70
WILL GIVE YOU THE
HEATHEN FOR YOUR INHERITANCE.
00:07:48.70\00:07:53.00
SO WHEN WE INTERCEDE, WE
DON'T JUST INTERCEDE FOR FAMILY
00:07:53.00\00:07:57.17
MEMBERS, ALTHOUGH
THAT IS IMPORTANT.
00:07:57.17\00:08:00.21
WE JUST DON'T INTERCEDE FOR
COWORKERS OR NEIGHBORS, ALTHOUGH
00:08:00.21\00:08:04.01
THAT IS IMPORTANT. WE
ARE TO INTERCEDE FOR THE
00:08:04.01\00:08:08.02
WORLD. WE ARE TO
INTERCEDE FOR THE
00:08:08.02\00:08:11.82
HEATHEN, FOR THE GENTILES, AND
WE ARE ALSO CALLED TO INTERCEDE
00:08:11.82\00:08:16.02
FOR OUR ENEMIES. THE
SERMON ON THE MOUNT, JESUS
00:08:16.02\00:08:20.23
SAID PRAY FOR THOSE WHO
DESPITEFULLY USE YOU AND CURSE
00:08:20.23\00:08:25.27
YOU, THOSE PEOPLE WHO GIVE
YOU A HARD TIME, WE'RE CALLED TO
00:08:25.27\00:08:30.77
INTERCEDE FOR THEM AS WELL.
I WANT TO CLOSE WITH A STORY.
00:08:30.77\00:08:35.64
[ INAUDIBLE ] WELL-KNOWN AUTHOR
AND LEADER IN THE CHURCH IN
00:08:35.64\00:08:40.05
CHINA, AND HE SPENT THE LAST,
WHAT, 20 YEARS OF HIS LIFE IN
00:08:40.05\00:08:44.39
PRISON. WHEN HE
WAS CONVERTED, HE WAS A
00:08:44.39\00:08:47.09
YOUNG MAN, 17, 18, YOUNG MAN.
AND IN COLLEGE HE WROTE DOWN A
00:08:47.09\00:08:52.23
LIST OF HIS FRIENDS.
SHELLEY IF I WROTE A LIST OF MY
00:08:52.23\00:08:56.20
FRIENDS, I MIGHT COME
UP WITH 10, 15, OR 20.
00:08:56.20\00:08:59.73
HE WROTE 70 NAMES
ON HIS LIST. 70 PEOPLE.
00:08:59.73\00:09:03.91
AND EVEY DAY, HE
INTERCEDED FOR THEIR SALVATION.
00:09:03.91\00:09:09.64
HE DID NOT JUST PRAY ONCE
OR TWICE A DAY, HE WOULD PRAY
00:09:09.64\00:09:13.88
THROUGHOUT CLASSES. HE
WOULD WAKE UP IN THE NIGHT
00:09:13.88\00:09:17.22
AND SPENDING HOURS
PRAYING FOR THESE PEOPLE.
00:09:17.22\00:09:19.42
BUT HOW MANY OF THE 70
PEOPLE CAME TO KNOW JESUS?
00:09:19.42\00:09:24.49
ALL BUT ONE. ALL
BUT ONE OF THE PEOPLE HE
00:09:24.49\00:09:28.86
PRAYED FOR CAME TO ACCEPT JESUS.
AND EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT
00:09:28.86\00:09:32.67
THAT STORY, IT CONVICTS AND
CHALLENGES ME IN MY OWN LIFE TO
00:09:32.67\00:09:38.41
GO DEEPER IN MY PRAYER WALK,
TO PRAY FOR FERVENTLY, AND MORE
00:09:38.41\00:09:47.42
EARNESTLY PRAY FOR OTHER PEOPLE.
AND ONE MORE THING -- POOR
00:09:47.42\00:09:53.56
PASTOR -- BUT ONE MORE THING.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE CALL ME AND
00:09:53.56\00:10:00.46
SAY, JILL, PRAY FOR ME.
GOD HEARS YOUR PRAYERS AND NOT
00:10:00.46\00:10:06.70
MINE. GOD HEARS ALL PRAYERS.
00:10:06.70\00:10:08.24
HE HEARS THE CRY OF
OUR HEARTS. >> AMEN.
00:10:08.24\00:10:11.94
>> SO JUST GO BEFORE THE
FATHER AND POUR OUT YOUR HEART.
00:10:11.94\00:10:16.75
>> AMEN. I AM SO EXCITED.
00:10:16.75\00:10:19.51
>> I JUST WANTED
TO ADD ONE MORE THING.
00:10:19.51\00:10:22.15
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO
PRAY WITH POWER AND TO PRAY FOR
00:10:22.15\00:10:26.86
OTHERS -- START YOUR PRAYERS
OFFER -- WELL, FIRST OF ALL, YOU
00:10:26.86\00:10:30.09
SAID THAT SOMETIMES YOU FEEL
LIKE THEY ARE BOUNCING OF THE
-WALLS, START YOUR PRAYERS OFF
00:10:30.09\00:10:36.87
CONFESSING YOUR SINS
AND ASK FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:10:36.87\00:10:39.67
IN ROMANS 8:26, IT SAYS LIKEWISE
THE SPIRIT ALSO HELP US IN OUR
00:10:39.67\00:10:46.34
WEAKNESSES, FOR WE DO NOT KNOW
WHAT WE SHOULD PRAY FOR, BUT THE
00:10:46.34\00:10:52.91
SPIRIT HIMSELF
MAKES INTERCESSION FOR US.
00:10:52.91\00:10:56.45
SO AS YOU PRAY FOR THE HOLY
SPIRIT -- AND THAT'S ONE THING
00:10:56.45\00:11:00.19
THAT IS SO POWERFUL ABOUT J.D.'S
PRAYER MINISTRY IS -- WHEN HE IS
00:11:00.19\00:11:05.29
PRAYING WITH SOMEBODY, HE ALWAYS
IMMEDIATELY SAYS, I DON'T EVEN
00:11:05.29\00:11:10.53
KNOW HOW TO PRAY. LET
ME -- LET'S -- DO YOU FIND
00:11:10.53\00:11:14.14
IF WE ASK THE HOLY
SPIRIT TO PRAY WITH US.
00:11:14.14\00:11:16.74
>> AMEN. >> AND
MANY TIMES WHEN HE IS
00:11:16.74\00:11:19.57
PRAYING FOR SOMEONE OVER
THE PHONE, HE'LL BE PRAYING AND
00:11:19.57\00:11:24.28
SAYING STUFF, AND PEOPLE WILL
JUST BE WEEPING AND CARRYING ON,
00:11:24.28\00:11:28.95
SAYING, ONLY GOD
COULD HAVE KNOWN THAT.
00:11:28.95\00:11:31.52
IT'S BECAUSE THE HOLY
SPIRIT WAS LEADING HIM.
00:11:31.52\00:11:33.86
>> WELL SAID. WELL SAID.
00:11:33.86\00:11:35.16
GO AHEAD. >> I WAS JUST THINKING
00:11:35.16\00:11:37.23
TOO -- YOU KNOW, IT DOES
SOMETHING FOR ONE'S OWN PERSONAL
00:11:37.23\00:11:40.96
LIFE WHEN YOU
PRAY FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.
00:11:40.96\00:11:42.86
>> OH, IT DOES. >>
THAT AND ALSO MEMORIZING
00:11:42.86\00:11:46.90
SCRIPTURE ALSO JUST
DOES SOMETHING SPIRITUALLY.
00:11:46.90\00:11:49.24
AND PASTOR YOU BROUGHT THIS UP
ON A PREVIOUS PROGRAM, THE BIG
00:11:49.24\00:11:55.91
CASH REGISTER TAPE WHERE
YOU HAVE WRITTEN DOWN SOMEBODY'S
00:11:55.91\00:11:58.78
NAME -- AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
MANY NAMES ARE ON THAT ROLL, BUT
00:11:58.78\00:12:04.75
TO PRAY FOR THEM AND THINK HOW
GOD HAS ANSWERED THOSE PRAYERS
00:12:04.75\00:12:09.32
IS A POWERFUL THING.
BUT IT DOES SOMETHING
00:12:09.32\00:12:12.59
PERSONALLY. >> IT DOES.
00:12:12.59\00:12:13.80
>> IT TAKES US THEN,
OUTSIDE OF OURSELVES.
00:12:13.80\00:12:16.46
>> OH, YES. VERY GOOD POINT.
00:12:16.46\00:12:18.77
I'M ALLOWING YOU MUCH SLACK.
WHAT -- YOU KNOW -- HOW DO YOU
00:12:18.77\00:12:23.64
HOLD THE REINS
ON THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:12:23.64\00:12:26.78
[ LAUGHTER ] >> I
REALIZED WHEN I ASSEMBLED
00:12:26.78\00:12:29.31
THIS GROUP, I SAID THIS IS A
GROUP WHO KNOWS THE LORD, AND
00:12:29.31\00:12:36.35
SOMEBODY WILL SAY SOMETHING THAT
WILL GENERATE SOMETHING IN YOUR
00:12:36.35\00:12:39.12
MIND. WE'RE GOING
TO GO TO PRAYER AND
00:12:39.12\00:12:42.02
THEN MOVE TO JOHNNY DINZEY.
AND I'M GOING TO CUT THIS IN
00:12:42.02\00:12:45.96
HALF, BECAUSE
IT'S A LITTLE LONG.
00:12:45.96\00:12:47.93
THERE IS A LADY HERE -- THIS
IS SECOND TESTIMONIES 318, THIS
00:12:47.93\00:12:53.30
IS -- SOMETHING THAT
TOUCHED MY HEART YEARS AGO.
00:12:53.30\00:12:57.24
SHE HAS BEEN AFFLICTED FOR A
LONG TIME, AND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU
00:12:57.24\00:13:03.14
ARE IN PAIN FOR A LONG
TIME -- WHEN YOU ARE IN PAIN FOR
00:13:03.14\00:13:06.45
A LONG TIME, IT TENDS TO
MESS WITH YOUR HEAD, IT DOES.
00:13:06.45\00:13:09.62
>> IT DOES. >> AND
THIS WOMAN WAS VERY
00:13:09.62\00:13:13.79
SUGGESTIVE, PEOPLE WERE
BEGINNING TO SAY MAYBE YOU HAVE
00:13:13.79\00:13:15.89
SECRET STUFF IN YOUR LIFE.
AND SHE IS BEGINNING TO TAKE
00:13:15.89\00:13:19.46
THAT STUFF UNTO HERSELF. SO
ELLEN WHITE GAVE HER COUNSEL,
00:13:19.46\00:13:23.73
AND SHE SAID YOU
ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE.
00:13:23.73\00:13:26.53
SHE IS LETTING
PEOPLE TALK INTO HER HEAD.
00:13:26.53\00:13:29.24
YOU -- YOU FEEL DEEPLY AND HAVE
NOT POSSESSED THE POWER TO THROW
00:13:29.24\00:13:34.38
OFF CARE PRO-PLEXTY
AND DISCOURAGEMENT OF MIND.
00:13:34.38\00:13:38.51
I SAW THAT GOD WOULD BE A
PRESENT HELP IF YOU ONLY TRUST
00:13:38.51\00:13:42.78
YOURSELF IN HIM, BUT YOU WORRY
YOURSELF OUT OF THE ARMS OF YOUR
00:13:42.78\00:13:53.53
LOVING SAVIOR. HOW
SHALL HE NOT WITH HIM FREELY
00:13:53.53\00:14:01.37
GIVE US ALL THINGS.
WE MAY CLAIM MUCH OF OUR
00:14:01.37\00:14:06.78
HEAVENLY FATHER.
WE MAY BELIEVE IN GOD.
00:14:06.78\00:14:10.45
WE MAY TRUST HIM, AND BY
DOING SO GLORIFY HIS NAME.
00:14:10.45\00:14:14.95
EVEN IF WE ARE OVERCOME OF
THE ENEMY WE ARE NOT CAST OFF OR
00:14:14.95\00:14:22.26
FORSAKEN. CHRIST IS
AT THE RIGHT HAND OF
00:14:22.26\00:14:25.13
GOD FOR US. IF ANY
MAN SINS WE HAVE AN
00:14:25.13\00:14:29.66
ADVOCATE WITH THE FATHER
JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS.
00:14:29.66\00:14:33.94
YOU NEED NOT CAST
AWAY YOUR CONFIDENCE.
00:14:33.94\00:14:37.24
POOR TREMBLING SOUL -- I
HAVE A SONG FROM THAT LINE.
00:14:37.24\00:14:39.51
REST IN THE PROMISES OF GOD.
IN SO DOING, THE ENEMY'S TETHERS
00:14:39.51\00:14:46.15
WILL BE BROKEN. HE IS
NOT THE WHISPERING OF THE
00:14:46.15\00:14:50.95
ENEMY -- YOU KNOW HOW MANY
TIMES THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO PUT
00:14:50.95\00:14:55.92
THINGS IN YOUR BRAIN.
YOU GET ALL OF THIS STUFF.
00:14:55.92\00:15:00.16
GO FREE OPPRESSOR, BE OF GOOD
COURAGE, SAY TO YOUR DISPONDING
00:15:00.16\00:15:06.67
HEART, HOPE THOU IN GOD, AND
I SHALL YET PRAISE HIM WHO IS MY
00:15:06.67\00:15:12.81
HEAL AND MY
CONTINENCE AND MY HAPPINESS.
00:15:12.81\00:15:22.15
TURN FROM EVERY DISAGREEABLE
THOUGHT, AND THINK OF THE
00:15:22.15\00:15:27.19
PRESSURE JESUS, DWELL UPON HIS
POWER TO SAVE, HIS UNDIEING LOVE
00:15:27.19\00:15:32.56
FOR YOU, EVEN YOU -- I KNOW THAT
THE LORD LOVES YOU -- HERE IS
00:15:32.56\00:15:37.23
THE PART THAT JUST SHAKES MY
WORLD -- IF YOU CANNOT RELY ON
00:15:37.23\00:15:41.14
YOUR OWN FAITH, RELY
ON THE FAITH OF OTHERS.
00:15:41.14\00:15:44.71
WE BELIEVE, AND HOPE FOR YOU.
GOD ACCEPTS OUR FAITH IN YOUR
00:15:44.71\00:15:51.48
BEHALF. >> WOW.
00:15:51.48\00:15:52.68
>> HOW DOES THAT SAY ABOUT
INTERCESSORY PRAYER, WHEN I PRAY
00:15:52.68\00:16:01.29
FOR YOU, GOD ACCEPTS OUR PRAYER.
BE CHEERFUL, INDULGING IN THESE
00:16:01.29\00:16:12.00
DOUBTS, YOU DISHONOR GOD.
THERE IS PEACE IN BELIEVING AND
00:16:12.00\00:16:16.87
JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST.
THERE IS MORE, BUT I WANT TO
00:16:16.87\00:16:20.11
JUST LEAVE THAT THERE, BUT WHEN
WE PRAY FOR OTHERS -- GOD HEARS
00:16:20.11\00:16:24.21
THAT PRAYER. IF YOU
CAN'T PRAY FOR YOURSELF
00:16:24.21\00:16:28.48
FIND SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS
THOUSAND -- HOW TO PRAYER.
00:16:28.48\00:16:33.92
SO LT'S GO TO OUR SECOND
-- >> MAY I SAY SOMETHING?
00:16:33.92\00:16:37.06
>> INDEED YOU MAY. >> I
ALSO IN MY OWN LIFE HAVE
00:16:37.06\00:16:41.26
TOLD GOD HOW I THINK HE
SHOULD ANSWER THE PRAYER.
00:16:41.26\00:16:44.33

GOD KNOWS WHAT IS BEST. SO
GOD, JUST PLEASE, JUST TAKE

CARE OF THE SITUATION.
SO THEN I'M LIKE IT'S NOT

HAPPENING THE WAY I HOPED
IT WOULD HAPPEN, AND THEN I GET
00:16:55.84\00:17:00.85

ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE ON
THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION.
00:26:29.98\00:26:34.36
SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY
HAVE THE MINISTRY OF GOSSIP.
00:26:34.36\00:26:37.96
THE MINISTRY TO COME TO CHURCH
AND GOSSIP ABOUT OTHERS, AND
00:26:37.96\00:26:41.50
LOOK AT THE FAULTS OF OTHERS,
AND SHARE THAT WITH OTHER
00:26:41.50\00:26:45.97
PEOPLE, THAT'S NOT A
MINISTRY THAT THE LORD GAVE US.
00:26:45.97\00:26:49.27
IT'S NOT. THE LORD
GAVE US THE MINISTRY OF
00:26:49.27\00:26:53.27

FAULT IN SOMEBODY ELSE, PRAY FOR
00:26:53.27\00:26:56.85
THAT PERSON,
PRAY FOR THAT FAULT.
00:26:56.85\00:27:00.48
GET OFF OF THOSE OTHER
MINISTRIES, AND GET IN THE
00:27:00.48\00:27:03.92
MINISTRY THAT THE LORD GAVE YOU,
RECONCILE OTHERS TO THE LORD
00:27:03.92\00:27:09.09
JESUS CHRIST. I WILL
READ ANOTHER VERSE HERE,
00:27:09.09\00:27:11.53
AND THAT IS VERSE 19 AND 20,
THAT IS THAT GOD WAS IN CHRIST
00:27:11.53\00:27:16.63
RECONCILING THE WORLD TO
HIMSELF, NOT IMPUTING THEIR
00:27:16.63\00:27:20.20
TRESPASSES TO THEM, AND
HAS COMMITTED TO US THE WORD OF
00:27:20.20\00:27:24.81
RECONCILIATION. NOW
THEN WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR
00:27:24.81\00:27:28.01
CHRIST AS THOUGH GOD
WERE PLEADING THOUGH US.
00:27:28.01\00:27:30.91
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT GOD
PLEADING -- GOD PLEADING THROUGH
00:27:30.91\00:27:34.12
US, WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST
BEHALF BE RECONCILED TO GOD.
00:27:34.12\00:27:38.59
AND JUST FOR A MOMENT, I
ASK, WHAT IS AN AMBASSADOR?
00:27:38.59\00:27:42.42
MAYBE SOMEBODY HERE
CAN HELP ME OUT WITH THAT.
00:27:42.42\00:27:45.09
>> A REPRESENTATIVE.
>> A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
00:27:45.09\00:27:48.73
GOVERNMENT. >> A
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
00:27:48.73\00:27:51.43
GOVERNMENT. LOOKING
AT THIS DEFINITION, IT'S
00:27:51.43\00:27:56.30
A REPRESENTATIVE FROM ONE
COUNTRY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.
00:27:56.30\00:27:59.84
THE HIGHEST REPRESENTATIVE FROM
ONE COUNTRY IN ANOTHER COUNTY.
00:27:59.84\00:28:05.08
AND SO WHO ARE
WE AMBASSADORS OF?
00:28:05.08\00:28:09.25
THE KING OF
KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
00:28:09.25\00:28:12.19
>> LOVE IT. >> SO
YOU ARE AN AMBASSADOR FOR
00:28:12.19\00:28:14.36
THE LORD, AND THAT'S A
HIGH PRIVILEGE, HIGH HONOR.
00:28:14.36\00:28:19.26
AND THE LORD SAYS GO YE AND
TEACH ALL NATIONS, AND SO WE
00:28:19.26\00:28:24.00
HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF -- THE
BLESSING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, IF
00:28:24.00\00:28:27.64
WE CHOOSE. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:28:27.64\00:28:29.77
>> TO OBEY AND GO, THE LORD
WILL GIVE US WORDS TO SPEAK.
00:28:29.77\00:28:35.04
THE LORD WILL GUIDE US. I
MENTIONED THE OTHER DAY HERE
00:28:35.04\00:28:38.61
AT THE CHURCH, THAT THE LORD IS
WILLING TO DO WHAT HE HAS DONE
00:28:38.61\00:28:43.18
BEFORE. AND WHAT
HE HAS DONE BEFORE IS
00:28:43.18\00:28:45.72
THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT TALK TO
PEOPLE AND SAY GO OVER THERE AND
00:28:45.72\00:28:48.56
TALK TO THAT PERSON. >> YES.
00:28:48.56\00:28:50.26
>> OR GO OVER THERE AND
SHARE SOMETHING WITH THE PERSON.
00:28:50.26\00:28:53.13
IT MAY BE A LOAF OF
BREAD, OR A FISH DINNER.
00:28:53.13\00:28:57.30
[ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT
WHATEVER IT IS THE LORD
00:28:57.30\00:28:59.37
CALLS DO YOU DO, DO IT.
YOU KNOW THE INTERESTING THING
00:28:59.37\00:29:03.00
IS, THE BIBLE SAYS
THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE HAVE
00:29:03.00\00:29:07.34
ENTERTAINED
ANGELS ON [ INAUDIBLE ].
00:29:07.34\00:29:08.94
SO WHAT THE LORD
ASKS YOU TO DO, DO IT.
00:29:08.94\00:29:11.95
>> UH-HUH. >> WOW,
A STORY CAME TO MIND.
00:29:11.95\00:29:15.15
DO YOU MIND IF I
SHARE THIS STORY.
00:29:15.15\00:29:21.96
>> I CAN'T HOLD THE REINS.
>> THIS WAS A PASTOR THAT TOLD
00:29:21.96\00:29:25.96
THE STORY OF HOW GOD WORKS.
AND THERE WAS THIS LADY, SHE WAS
00:29:25.96\00:29:30.17
SWEEPING ON HER PORCH -- IN
HER -- IN BRAZIL, ACTUALLY, AND
00:29:30.17\00:29:34.80
SHE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS
THIS -- ACROSS FROM HERE THERE
00:29:34.80\00:29:41.34
WAS THIS FIELD AND TRUCKS
HAD BEEN PARKED THERE THROUGHOUT
00:29:41.34\00:29:44.31
THROUGH THE NIGHT, THEY WERE NOT
WORKING IN THE SUN, PUTTING THE
00:29:44.31\00:29:47.92
TENTS TOGETHER --
IT W-- WAS A CIRCUS.
00:29:47.92\00:29:54.72
AND SHE SAW THEM, AND THEY WERE
OUT IN THE SUN, AND THEY WERE
00:29:54.72\00:30:01.63
SWEATING. AND SO SHE
WENT TO HER HOUSE AND
00:30:01.63\00:30:04.57
GOT ALL OF HER LEMONS AND
MADE A BIG PAIL OF LEMONADE.
00:30:04.57\00:30:11.07
AND STARTED ASKING
WHO WANTS SOME LEMONADE?
00:30:11.07\00:30:17.28
AND SO SHE WAS GOING
FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER.
00:30:17.28\00:30:21.32
AND ONE OF THE SUPERVISORS
WAS JUST LOOKING AT HER.
00:30:21.32\00:30:25.29
AND FINALLY SHE GOT TO HIM.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME FRESH COLD
00:30:25.29\00:30:30.23
LEMONADE? AND HE
GOES WHO ARE YOU.
00:30:30.23\00:30:32.16
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
AND SHE SAYS -- I DON'T
00:30:32.16\00:30:34.46
REMEMBER HER NAME -- SHE SAYS
I'M MARY, AND I LIVE ACROSS THE
00:30:34.46\00:30:40.24
STREET. HE SAYS
YOU MUST BE AN ANGEL.
00:30:40.24\00:30:45.34
AND SHE SAID NO, I
LIVE ACROSS THE STREET.
00:30:45.34\00:30:50.01
AND HE SAID NO
YOU MUST BE AN ANGEL.
00:30:50.01\00:30:53.85
NOBODY HAS DONE THIS FOR US.
NO, I'M JUST MARY, AND I'M JUST
00:30:53.85\00:31:00.19
DOING WHAT JESUS
WOULD DO IF YOU ARE HEAR.
00:31:00.19\00:31:03.12
THIS JESUS THAT YOU
KNOW, WE NEED TO KNOW HIM.
00:31:03.12\00:31:05.73
ANY GOD THAT MOVES A PERSON
TO DO THIS FOR OTHER PEOPLE, WE
00:31:05.73\00:31:09.10
WANT TO KNOW THIS GOD, AND YOU
SEEM TO BE SUCH A HAPPY PERSON,
00:31:09.10\00:31:13.87
WE WANT TO KNOW MORE.
SHE SAID I CAN GIVE YOU BIBLE
00:31:13.87\00:31:19.74
STUDIES. AND HE
SAID WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW.
00:31:19.74\00:31:21.81
AND SHE STARTED DOING
BIBLE STUDIES FOR THESE PEOPLE.
00:31:21.81\00:31:26.78
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, MOST OF
THE CIRCUS PEOPLE WERE BAPTIZED.
00:31:26.78\00:31:33.99
>> PRAISE THE LORD. >> AND ONE
OF THEM IS THE CLOWN,-pAND WHEN
HE DOES HIS ACTS, YOU
00:31:33.99\00:31:39.29
KNOW -- [ LAUGHTER ]
00:31:39.29\00:31:40.60
>> HE HAS THAT
SMILE PAINTED ON --
00:31:40.60\00:31:42.70
>> YES. >> HE
PAUSES IN THE MIDDLE OF
00:31:42.70\00:31:46.10
THIS, AND HE SAID, NOW, I MADE
YOU LAUGH, BUT SOME OF YOU WERE
00:31:46.10\00:31:50.04
SAD WHEN YOU CAME HERE, AND
FOR MANY YEARS I HAD THIS SMILE
00:31:50.04\00:31:53.68
PAINTED ON MY FACE,
BUT I WAS SAD INSIDE.
00:31:53.68\00:31:57.45
BUT RECENTLY I
FOUND JESUS CHRIST.
00:31:57.45\00:32:00.92
AND NOW I HAVE PAINTED
SMILE AND A REAL SMILE.
00:32:00.92\00:32:03.99
>> AMEN. AMEN.
00:32:03.99\00:32:05.65
>> AND SO HE SAYS IF YOU WANT TO
KNOW THE JESUS I KNOW, WE HAVE
00:32:05.65\00:32:09.82
CARDS THAT WE'RE PASSING OUT.
AND THESE PEOPLE HAVE PASSED OUT
00:32:09.82\00:32:13.63
CARDS ALL OVER, AND PEOPLE ARE
TAKING BIBLE STUDIES, AND THEY
00:32:13.63\00:32:17.47
ARE DOING MARVELOUS WORK. SO
IF WE LISTEN TO THE LORD, THE
00:32:17.47\00:32:23.14
LORD WILL LEAD US
TO PEOPLE. >> AMEN.
00:32:23.14\00:32:26.14
>> MY WIFE IS -- SHE DOES
LIKE FRIENDSHIP EVANGELISM.
00:32:26.14\00:32:30.91
YOU MENTION A
STORE NAMED WAL-MART --
00:32:30.91\00:32:34.72
[ LAUGHTER ] >> WHEN
WE GO TO WAL-MART, IT'S
00:32:34.72\00:32:38.15
UNBELIEVABLE TO ME. SHE
KNOWS A LOT OF THE LADIES BY
00:32:38.15\00:32:41.36
NAME, SALLY, HOW ARE
YOU? AND THEY HUG HER.
00:32:41.36\00:32:44.76
AND MARY, HOW IS IT GOING?
AND I HAVE BEEN WITH HER AS SHE
00:32:44.76\00:32:49.06
TALKS TO THEM. AND
SOME HAVE TOLD HER, PRAY FOR
00:32:49.06\00:32:52.73
ME, I HAVE CANCER. I AM
GOING TO HAVE AN OPERATION.
00:32:52.73\00:32:56.84
AND SHE HAS THIS MINISTRY
WITH THE LADIES THERE, AND IT'S
00:32:56.84\00:33:01.38
AMAZING. AND GOD
USES HER IN A MIGHTY
00:33:01.38\00:33:04.75
WAY, AND I PRAISE THE LORD
FOR THIS, THAT WE CAN SHARE THE
00:33:04.75\00:33:10.15
GOSPEL WITH PEOPLE. I'M
SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THE
00:33:10.15\00:33:14.26
SADDEST PEOPLE IN
THE U.S. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:33:14.26\00:33:16.12
>> SO DO WE HAVE
ANY TIME FOR THAT?
00:33:16.12\00:33:18.69
>> YEAH, YOU HAVE TO
KIND OF PUT IT ON SPEED DIAL.
00:33:18.69\00:33:22.53
>> OKAY. IN -- IN
THE UNITED STATES OF
00:33:22.53\00:33:24.90
AMERICA, THE -- THE SPANISH
COMMUNITY IN THE SEVENTH-DAY
00:33:24.90\00:33:29.34
ADVENTIST CHURCH IS ONE OF THE
FASTEST GROWING GROUPS IN THE
00:33:29.34\00:33:35.11
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
CHURCH, AND SO WE ASK,
00:33:35.11\00:33:37.35
WHAT -- WHAT -- WHAT
IS MAKING THIS HAPPEN?
00:33:37.35\00:33:40.45
AND I -- I -- I TOSSED
THIS QUESTION OUT TO A GROUP OF
00:33:40.45\00:33:45.62
PASTORS THAT, YOU KNOW,
WERE PART OF AN EMAIL, AND THEY
00:33:45.62\00:33:47.96
STARTED GIVING THEIR
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS GOING
00:33:47.96\00:33:50.29
ON, AND IN SOME WAYS, THERE'S
A COMMON GROUND THAT A LOT OF
00:33:50.29\00:33:55.16
SPANISH PEOPLE HAVE. THEY
COME FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY,
00:33:55.16\00:33:57.83
AND SOME ARE FAR
AWAY FROM FAMILY.
00:33:57.83\00:34:00.44
A CHURCH BECOMES THEIR FAMILY.
AND THEY CONNECT WITH PEOPLE
00:34:00.44\00:34:04.37
FROM THEIR COUNTRY OR OTHER
COUNTRIES, BECAUSE THEY IDENTIFY
00:34:04.37\00:34:08.71
WITH THE
CIRCUMSTANCES THEY ARE FACING.
00:34:08.71\00:34:10.61
THAT IS ONE FACTOR.
AND THE FACTOR IS THE
00:34:10.61\00:34:14.42
PASTORS -- IT'S PART OF THEIR
LIFE TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO AN
00:34:14.42\00:34:20.02
EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN IN THE
SPRING AND FALL, AND TO TALK TO
00:34:20.02\00:34:23.66
YOUR FRIENDS AND
DO BIBLE STUDIES.
00:34:23.66\00:34:25.73
AND THEY ARE DOING BIBLE STUDIES
PRACTICALLY ALL YEAR LONG, AND
00:34:25.73\00:34:30.90
WHEN IT COMES TO THE SPRING,
THEY BRING THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE
00:34:30.90\00:34:35.00
BEEN DOING BIBLE STUDIES
WITH. AND THESE ARE THEIR
00:34:35.00\00:34:38.17
NEIGHBORS -- BECAUSE THE SPANISH
PEOPLE ARE VERY -- GREETING ONE
00:34:38.17\00:34:42.28
ANOTHER, AND THEY
HUG ONE ANOTHER --
00:34:42.28\00:34:44.35
>> OH, YEAH. >> AND
IT'S -- YOU COME TO THE
00:34:44.35\00:34:47.58
CHURCH, AND THEY SAY --
DO YOU HAVE ANYPLACE TO GO?
00:34:47.58\00:34:51.52
WE WOULD LIKE TO
INVITE YOU TO OUR HOME.
00:34:51.52\00:34:54.79
YOU CAN GET INVITED TO
SOMEBODY'S HOME, AND YOU DON'T
00:34:54.79\00:34:57.93
KNOW EVEN KNOW WHO THEY
ARE. AND THERE THEY ARE.
00:34:57.93\00:35:00.83
AND THIS IS THE
COMMUNITY OF THE SPANISH PEOPLE.
00:35:00.83\00:35:04.37
>> AMEN. >> AND
IT'S INTERESTING, GOD IS
00:35:04.37\00:35:07.14
MOVING IN HEARTS
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:35:07.14\00:35:09.70
THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
IS ONE OF THE FASTEST-GROWING
00:35:09.70\00:35:16.24
DENOMINATIONS IN
THE WORLD. >> YES.
00:35:16.24\00:35:18.11
>> AND PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP TO
UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS CHRIST IS
00:35:18.11\00:35:21.95
COMING SOON. JESUS
SAID ALL POWER IS GIVEN
00:35:21.95\00:35:25.95
UNTO ME IN
HEAVEN AND EARTH. GO YE.
00:35:25.95\00:35:29.69
SO THE LORD IS
GOING TO USE THEM.
00:35:29.69\00:35:31.33
SO I WANT TO ENCOURAGE
YOU -- ASK THE LORD TO USE YOU
00:35:31.33\00:35:35.96
IN SOME WAY, AND YOU CAN --
YOU ALREADY HAVE SOMETHING THAT
00:35:35.96\00:35:41.14
NOBODY ELSE HAS, THAT'S
YOUR PERSONAL TESTIMONY.
00:35:41.14\00:35:43.77
>> AMEN. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:35:43.77\00:35:45.34
>> 3ABN IS A
WONDERFUL TOOL FOR EVANGELISM.
00:35:45.34\00:35:49.18
>> AMEN. >> WE
HAVE COPIES OF PROGRAMS,
00:35:49.18\00:35:51.91
YOU CAN ORDER COPIES
OF PROGRAMS FROM 3ABN.
00:35:51.91\00:35:55.25
AND SHARE THEM, POINT
PEOPLE TO THE 3ABN WEBSITE.
00:35:55.25\00:35:57.92
YOU KNOW WHAT
SOME PEOPLE ARE DOING?
00:35:57.92\00:36:00.22
LET ME SHARE WITH YOU.
SOME PEOPLE KNOW THAT 3ABN IS ON
00:36:00.22\00:36:03.73
IN THEIR COME PUN MUNTY -- I CAN
TELL YOU STORIES AGO GUATEMALA
00:36:03.73\00:36:10.47
AND OTHER PLACES, THEY SAY
BY THE WAY, DO YOU HAVE 3ABN.
00:36:10.47\00:36:15.00
WHAT IS 3ABN? LET ME TELL YOU
ABOUT IT.-AND SO THEY ENCOURAGE
00:36:15.00\00:36:21.88
PEOPLE TO WATCH. WATCH
CHANNEL SUCH AND SUCH IN
00:36:21.88\00:36:24.08
THAT CABLE COMPANY. AND
SO THIS HAS BEEN VERY, VERY
00:36:24.08\00:36:29.02
EFFECTIVE. AND I
ALSO BELIEVE -- THIS IS A
00:36:29.02\00:36:31.25
PERSONAL BELIEF, THAT PEOPLE
ARE JUST WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO
00:36:31.25\00:36:34.56
STAND UP AND SAY LET'S DO THIS.
AND PEOPLE WILL -- WILL -- WILL
00:36:34.56\00:36:38.53
FOLLOW SOMEBODY
THAT STANDS UP TO LEAD.
00:36:38.53\00:36:41.23
OF COURSE TALK TO YOUR CHURCH.
DON'T JUST GET UP AND START
00:36:41.23\00:36:44.17
DOING A THING ON YOUR
OWN. DON'T BE THE LOAN RANGER
00:36:44.17\00:36:48.64
EVANGELIST. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:36:48.64\00:36:49.60
>> PRAISE THE LORD. >>
WORK WITH THE CHURCH MEMBERS.
00:36:49.60\00:36:51.74
>> AMEN. >> AND SO
PEOPLE ARE WAITING.
00:36:51.74\00:36:56.78
I NOTICED THIS A FEW YEARS BACK
WHEN WE WERE PRINTING -- I THINK
00:36:56.78\00:37:02.92
IT WAS -- THE TEN
COMANNEDMENTS TWICE REMOVED.
00:37:02.92\00:37:11.93
WE WERE TAKE SO MANY CALLS.
AND PEOPLE WERE SAYING I NEED TO
00:37:11.93\00:37:15.73
GET UP AND DO SOMETHING NOW.
AND 3ABN STARTED LIKE A MOVEMENT
00:37:15.73\00:37:19.13
OF PEOPLE GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR,
PASSING OUT THE BOOK THE TEN
00:37:19.13\00:37:24.47
COMMANDMENTS
TWICE REMOVED. >> AMEN.
00:37:24.47\00:37:32.88
>> AND IT WAS AMAZING WHAT GOD
DID THROUGH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:37:32.88\00:37:36.99
TWICE REMOVED. SO I
SAY TO YOU, ASK THE LORD,
00:37:36.99\00:37:40.62
WHAT CAN I DO IN MY CHURCH AND
MY COMMUNITY THAT WILL GET THE
00:37:40.62\00:37:44.63
PEOPLE IN OUR CHURCH INTERESTED
IN DOING SOMETHING FOR OTHERS.
00:37:44.63\00:37:48.53
>> AMEN. JOHNNY I
HAVE TO CUT YOU SHORT.
00:37:48.53\00:37:51.50
>> YOU HAVE TO CUT ME SHORT.
>> AND I KNOW SHELLEY WOULD HAVE
00:37:51.50\00:37:56.47
GOTTEN ON THAT ROAD WITH
BLESSING IS ON THE GO! BUT I
00:37:56.47\00:38:00.21
RAINED HER IN TIGHTLY, OR
SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
00:38:00.21\00:38:03.61
SO WHEN YOU WENT INTO THAT -- I
WAS THINKING I SHOULD HAVE BEEN
00:38:03.61\00:38:08.98
SAYING -- [ LAUGHTER ]
00:38:08.98\00:38:09.98
>> THAT IS SO
CLOSE TO HER HEART.
00:38:09.98\00:38:12.62
GREG -- >> YES.
00:38:12.62\00:38:16.12
>> -- DOING THINGS ON THE
SABBATH TO LIFT UP JESUS IS
00:38:16.12\00:38:20.16
EVANGELISM. >> IT IS.
00:38:20.16\00:38:20.93
>> AND THAT'S WHAT YOU
WANT TO WALK US THROUGH.
00:38:20.93\00:38:23.26
>> YEAH, I ALSO WANTED TO
MENTION TOO, REALLY EVANGELISM,
00:38:23.26\00:38:28.80
WHICH I JUST
APPRECIATE THIS TOPIC.
00:38:28.80\00:38:30.71
I THINK IT'S FANTASTIC.
I'M TALKING TO MYSELF HERE TO
00:38:30.71\00:38:36.08
GET CAUGHT UP IN MY OWN SELF.
I CAN BE PUMPING GAS LIKE THIS.
00:38:36.08\00:38:41.12
LIKE, OKAY? I HOPE
SOMEONE REALIZES I'M
00:38:41.12\00:38:44.19
HAVING A BAD DAY. WHY
DON'T I BE THE FIRST ONE TO
00:38:44.19\00:38:46.86
GIVE THEM A
SMILE. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:38:46.86\00:38:48.59
>> OR YOU CAN BE SITTING AT
HOME, AND YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF
00:38:48.59\00:38:52.09
YOUR HOUSE, AND YOU ARE
WISHING FOR SOMEONE TO VISIT.
00:38:52.09\00:38:55.70
YOU CAN'T VISIT, BECAUSE LET'S
SAY YOU ARE HAND BOUND, BUT YOU
00:38:55.70\00:38:59.73
CAN WRITE A CARD. IT'S EASY.
00:38:59.73\00:39:02.57
OKAY. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:39:02.57\00:39:03.27
>> I'M GOING TO TELL ON
MYSELF HERE A LITTLE BIT.
00:39:03.27\00:39:05.97
WE CAN TEND TO THINK ABOUT OUR
OWN JOURNEY, WHICH IS IMPORTANT.
00:39:05.97\00:39:10.35
WE NEED TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD
AND FILL OURSELVES WITH JESUS.
00:39:10.35\00:39:13.98
BUT WE ALSO NEED TO BE CONCERNED
ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND THEIR
00:39:13.98\00:39:17.62
JOURNEY. SO TODAY,
I LANDED -- WAS ON A
00:39:17.62\00:39:20.19
TRIP, AND I LANDED EARIER TODAY
IN ST. LOUIS, AND WHAT DO YOU
00:39:20.19\00:39:24.16
CALL THAT THING -- THE JETWAY?
YOU GO FROM THE PLANE TO THE
00:39:24.16\00:39:28.40
TERMINAL? >> YEAH.
00:39:28.40\00:39:29.10
>> OKAY. SO I WAS
WALKING UP THE JETWAY,
00:39:29.10\00:39:32.07
AND I REALIZED SOMETHING WAS
WRONG WITH MY SHO, AND I LOOKED
00:39:32.07\00:39:35.87
DOWN AND I SAW MY SHOE LACE
DANGLING ALONG, SO I STARTED
00:39:35.87\00:39:41.58
SWINGING MY LEG TO THE SIDE,
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO TRIP,
00:39:41.58\00:39:45.08
BECAUSE I DIN'T WANT TO LOOK
LIKE A FOOL, AND I DIDN'T WANT
00:39:45.08\00:39:50.29
TO HOLD EVERYONE UP IN THE
JETWAY, AND SO I GOT OUT TO THE
00:39:50.29\00:39:55.92
TERMINAL, I FOUND A CHAIR, AND
SAT DOWN, AND I DIDN'T TAKE BUT
00:39:55.92\00:40:07.64
TWO, THREE, FOUR STEPS, AND I
HIT WATER WITH MY RIGHT FOOT AND
00:40:07.64\00:40:11.24
I NEARLY FELL DOWN, SO I WAS
TRYING TO KEEP FROM TRIPPING ON
00:40:11.24\00:40:14.81
MY SHOE LACE EARLIER. I
TIE IT, AND I TAKE TWO OR
00:40:14.81\00:40:18.61
THREE STEPS AND I NEARLY FALL
DOWN IN THIS PUDDLE OF WATER.
00:40:18.61\00:40:25.05
AND I DIDN'T SAY WATCH
OUT. THERE'S WATER THERE.
00:40:25.05\00:40:28.19
SOMEONE ELSE DON'T FALL.
I'M LIKE I'M THANKFUL I DIDN'T
00:40:28.19\00:40:31.93
FALL DOWN, AND I JUST KEPT
ON -pWALKING. AND THAT'S WHERE I
00:40:31.93\00:40:38.50
THINK IN MY OWN JOURNEY,
I NEED TO SAY, WATCH OUT.
00:40:38.50\00:40:41.94
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS.
AND I'M JUST -- AGAIN, GETTING
00:40:41.94\00:40:45.47
BACK TO THE THING OF GETTING OUT
OF OURSELVES, I'M NOT PREACHING
00:40:45.47\00:40:49.58
TO YOU, BUT I HAVE BEEN
CONVICTED HERE AS WE HAVE BEEN
00:40:49.58\00:40:53.62
TALKING -- I NEED
TO GET OUT OF MYSELF.
00:40:53.62\00:40:56.42
I CAN ALWAYS SAY I'M TOO TIRED.
OR I DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING THAT.
00:40:56.42\00:41:02.06
THAT'S NO EXCUSE.
GOING TO DOING GOOD ON THE
00:41:02.06\00:41:09.80
SABBATH. GENESIS
2, CHRIST RESTED FROM
00:41:09.80\00:41:13.40
HIS TOIL. WHAT THAT
DOESN'T MEAN FOR US IS
00:41:13.40\00:41:17.01
WE JUST REST AND
SLEEP ON THE SABBATH DAY.
00:41:17.01\00:41:20.48
GOD RESTED FROM HIS NORMAL
TOIL OF CREATING THE EARTH.
00:41:20.48\00:41:25.51
AND THERE ARE SO MANY EXAMPLES
OF WHAT GOD DID -- OR JESUS
00:41:25.51\00:41:30.82
CHRIST DID WHEN
HE WAS HERE ON EARTH.
00:41:30.82\00:41:34.09
HE DID SO MUCH GOOD. I
WANT TO TURN TO LUKE 13 -- AND
00:41:34.09\00:41:39.66
DOING GOOD ON THE SABBATH.
LET'S LOOK AT -- WOW, THIS WOULD
00:41:39.66\00:41:43.97
BE KIND OF LONG.
LET'S GO TO LUKE 13:10,
00:41:43.97\00:41:48.37
AND -- AND IT SAYS AND HE
WAS TEACHING IN ONE OF THE
00:41:48.37\00:41:53.01
SYNAGOGUES -- THAT'S JESUS.-SO
JESUS WAS TEACHING IN ONE OF THE
SYNAGOGUES ON THE SABBATH
00:41:53.01\00:42:00.15
DAY. AND THERE
WAS A WOMAN WHO HAD A
00:42:00.15\00:42:03.25
SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY FOR 18
YEARS, AND COULD NOT LIFT UP
00:42:03.25\00:42:09.46
OURSELVES. SO I'M
ENVISIONING THAT SHE WAS
00:42:09.46\00:42:13.86
BENT OVER. AND
WHEN JESUS SAW HER, HE
00:42:13.86\00:42:16.50
CALLED TO -- CALLED HER TO HIM,
AND SAID TO HER, WOMAN, THOUSAND
00:42:16.50\00:42:24.64
ART LOOSE FROM THINE INFERMTY.
AND HE LAID HIS HANDS ON HER
00:42:24.64\00:42:28.64
AND IMMEDIATELY SHE WAS MADE
STRAIGHT, AND SHE GLORIFIED
GOD.-OH, BOY, LOOK AT VERSE 14,
00:42:28.64\00:42:35.08
AND THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE
ANSWERED WITH INDIGNATION
00:42:35.08\00:42:40.19
BECAUSE THAT JESUS HAD HEALED
HER ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND HE
00:42:40.19\00:42:43.39
SAID TO THE PEOPLE, THERE ARE
SIX DAYS IN WHICH MEN OUGHT TO
00:42:43.39\00:42:48.13
WORK, IN THEM, THEREFORE, COME
AND BE HEALED AND NOT ON THE
00:42:48.13\00:42:52.00
SABBATH DAY. SO
HERE THIS LEADER OF THE
00:42:52.00\00:42:55.04
SYNAGOGUE WAS TELLING THE PEOPLE
DON'T COME TO THE SABBATH TO BE
00:42:55.04\00:43:02.44
HEALED. AND THE
LORD THEN ANSWERED AND
00:43:02.44\00:43:05.45
SAID THOU HYPOCRITE, DOTH NOT
EACH ONE OF YOU ON THE SABBATH
00:43:05.45\00:43:11.82
LOSE HIS OX AND ASS FROM THE
STALL, AND OUGHT NOT THIS WOMAN
00:43:11.82\00:43:18.29
BE A DAUGHTER OF ABRAHAM.
THAT'S QUITE A REDUKE --
00:43:18.29\00:43:24.73
>> YES. >> HE IS
SAYING YOU ARE GOING TO
00:43:24.73\00:43:27.27
LET YOUR ANIMALS LOSE, BUT YET
YOU ARE SAYING I CAN'T HEAL HER
00:43:27.27\00:43:31.97
ON THE SABBATH
DAY. THERE ARE MULTIPLE
00:43:31.97\00:43:36.08
THINGS -- THERE'S ONE
WITH THE WITHERED HAND.
00:43:36.08\00:43:39.71
THE MAN AT THE POOL OF BETHESDA.
AND IT'S INTERESTING TO ME TOO,
00:43:39.71\00:43:46.99
JUST DOING STUDY ON THIS
-- THESE PEOPLE THAT WERE
00:43:46.99\00:43:50.29
HEALED -- MAYBE THE MAN BY THE
POOL, THE BLIND MAN ALSO, HE WAS
00:43:50.29\00:43:55.20
HEALED ON THE SABBATH DAY WHEN
CHRIST SPIT INTO THE DUST AND
00:43:55.20\00:43:59.80
MADE IT CLAY AND
PUT IT INTO HIS EYES.
00:43:59.80\00:44:03.04
AND THEY ARE ALL NOT REALLY LIKE
THEY ARE GOING TO DIE IN THE
00:44:03.04\00:44:08.14
NEXT SECOND OR TWO, BUT CHRIST
WAS HEALING THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE
00:44:08.14\00:44:12.41
IT WAS FOR THEIR
BENEFIT. >> UH-HUH.
00:44:12.41\00:44:15.38
>> YEAH. >> AND SO
I THINK THAT'S A GREAT
00:44:15.38\00:44:18.69
EXAMPLE FOR ALL OF US, AS FAR
AS DOING GOOD ON THE SABBATH.
00:44:18.69\00:44:23.29
MY DAD WAS A HOME HEALTH NURSE,
AND HE WOULD TAKE MY SISTER AND
00:44:23.29\00:44:27.40
MYSELF OUT -- WE WERE JUST -- I
DON'T KNOW LITTLE SQUIRTS, JUST
00:44:27.40\00:44:31.97
IT WILLING SPROUTS
-- THAT SOUNDS BETTER --
00:44:31.97\00:44:34.37
[ LAUGHTER ] >> AND
WE REALLY COULDN'T CARRY
00:44:34.37\00:44:36.04
A TUNE, BUT HE WOULD HAVE US
THERE SINGING IN THE HOMES OF
00:44:36.04\00:44:39.91
THESE PATIENTS
ON THE SABBATH DAY.
00:44:39.91\00:44:46.92
AND WE WOULD SING LIKE LITTLE
TUNES LIKE JESUS LOVES ME AND
00:44:46.92\00:44:52.39
SUCH, AND I THINK THINGS LIKE
THAT IF YOU WANT TO CALL THAT
00:44:52.39\00:44:56.32
EVANGELISM, GOING TO SOMEONE'S
HOUSE, OR EVEN AT CHURCH IF
00:44:56.32\00:45:01.30
SOMEBODY IS SITTING BY
THEMSELVES SAY, HEY, HOW ARE YOU
00:45:01.30\00:45:05.10
DOING? EVEN IF YOU
ARE FEELING A LITTLE
00:45:05.10\00:45:07.24
LOW, AND YOU PUT THT CLOWN
SMILE ON THAT WASN'T REAL -- IT
00:45:07.24\00:45:10.94
WAS PAINTED ON ORIGINALLY,
AND THEN IT BECAME A REAL SMILE
00:45:10.94\00:45:16.04
UNDERNEATH, IT WILL GIVE
US REAL SMILES OURSELVES.
00:45:16.04\00:45:18.45
>> AMEN. >> BY
DOING GOOD ON THE SABBATH
00:45:18.45\00:45:22.85
DAY. >> YOU
MINISTER LONG ENOUGH, YOU
00:45:22.85\00:45:24.52
GET THE STORIES ON EVERYTHING.
I WAS IN FREE PORT RHODE ISLAND,
00:45:24.52\00:45:29.92
MY FIRST ELDERS
HOME BURNED DOWN.
00:45:29.92\00:45:32.59
AND I SAID,
OKAY, NO SERMON TODAY.
00:45:32.59\00:45:35.36
LET'S GO HOME, CHANGE
HER CLOTHES AND HELP HIM.
00:45:35.36\00:45:39.00
AND PEOPLE WERE
LIKE, I WANT MY SERMON.
00:45:39.00\00:45:42.80
WELL, YOUR SERMON ARE
GOING TO BE IN THE STREETS.
00:45:42.80\00:45:45.81
SO WE CHANGED OUR CLOTHES AND
HELPED HIM GET WHAT HE SHOULD
00:45:45.81\00:45:51.31
SALVAGE, BUT HE SPENT THE
DAY -- IT WAS IN THE SUMMERTIME
00:45:51.31\00:45:54.98
SO IT WAS A LONG DAY -- WE SPENT
THE WHOLE DAY TRYING TO HELP.
00:45:54.98\00:45:59.92
AND THE NEIGHBORS CAME OUT
AND SAID WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
00:45:59.92\00:46:02.69
AND HE HAD A NEIGHBOR HE HAD
LIVED NEXT TO FOR QUITE A WHILE,
00:46:02.69\00:46:07.03
AND HE SAID THIS IS MY CHURCH.
AND WE WERE FILTH, YOU SMELL
00:46:07.03\00:46:15.10
BAD, YOU LOOK WORSE, BUT
YOU ARE PRAISING THE LORD.
00:46:15.10\00:46:19.04
>> THAT'S A GREAT POINT.
IT'S NOT JUST SITTING THERE
00:46:19.04\00:46:23.14
DOING BIBLE STUDIES.
AND IT WAS ON THE SABBATH,
00:46:23.14\00:46:26.51
BECAUSE SOMEBODY COULD SAY,
OH, DEAR, YOU ARE DOING HARD
00:46:26.51\00:46:30.02
PHYSICAL LABOR, DON'T DO THAT.
LET THEM SUFFER FOR 24 HOURS,
00:46:30.02\00:46:34.69
AND THEN HELP. WHEN
2008 THE HURRICANE WE HAD
00:46:34.69\00:46:39.16
HERE -- >> YES.
00:46:39.16\00:46:40.03
>> I REMEMBER PEOPLE FROM
THE CHURCH WENT TO SOME OF THE
00:46:40.03\00:46:43.20
CHURCH MEMBERS WITH CHAIN SAWS,
AND IT WAS ON SABBATH, AND THEY
00:46:43.20\00:46:47.70
HAD A MAJOR NEED
WITH THE TREES DOWN.
00:46:47.70\00:46:50.17
I BELIEVE THAT'S
HONORABLE TO GOD.
00:46:50.17\00:46:53.81
>> IT PUTS LEGS ON THE GOSPEL
AND IT SHOWS YOU ARE REAL PEOPLE
00:46:53.81\00:46:58.35
WHO CARE, NOT ONLY ABOUT THE
KINGDOM COME, BUT ADVANCING THE
00:46:58.35\00:47:03.08

TO COMMIT SUICIDE,
SOMEONE ON HOSPICE.

AND THE ONE THAT TRIED TO
COMMIT SUICIDE THOUGHT THERE WAS
00:50:33.33\00:50:37.63
NOTHING OUT THERE FOR
THEM. BUT LORD, YOU THERE.

00:50:40.60\00:50:44.24
THEY WOULD HELP THEM.
HELP EACH AND EVERY REQUEST.

WE COULD EVER LOVE THEM.
AND YOU CERTAINLY PROVED THAT ON
00:51:04.23\00:51:08.26
CALVARY'S CROSS. WE
THANK YOU FOR HEARING AND
00:51:08.26\00:51:11.10
ANSWERING PRAYER. WE
LEAVE THEM IN YOUR CAPABLE
00:51:11.10\00:51:16.54
HANS, AND PLEASE BLESS THEM,
HEAL THEM, BRING THEM BACK,
00:51:16.54\00:51:20.74
RESTORE THEM. WE

00:51:20.74\00:51:25.78
AMEN. >> AMEN.
00:51:25.78\00:51:28.85
AMEN. IN OUR LAST
FEW MOMENTS, I WANT
00:51:28.85\00:51:31.05
TO TALK ABOUT A SERIES OF
WRITINGS FROM ELLEN WHITE CALLED
00:51:31.05\00:51:36.83
PUBLIC PRESENCE.
SHE TALKS ABOUT AT LARGE
00:51:36.83\00:51:43.23
GATHERINGS WE OUGHT TO
BE THERE ON THE GROUND.
00:51:43.23\00:51:49.37
SHE SAYS WE OUGHT TO DRAW NEAR
TO MINISTERS OF OTHER FAITHS,
00:51:49.37\00:51:53.74
DON'T SHY AWAY FROM THEM.
AND WE HAVE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
00:51:53.74\00:51:57.78
WHEN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TWICE
REMOVED WAS WRITTEN, THERE WAS A
00:51:57.78\00:52:01.95
CHANCE TO DRAW NEAR.
AND WE FOUND THAT MINISTRIES
00:52:01.95\00:52:04.92
WERE HUNGRY FOR THE
WORD, FOR THE GOSPEL ALSO.
00:52:04.92\00:52:07.89
AND CAME TO THE CHURCH IN
SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS, THEN SHE
00:52:07.89\00:52:10.89
SAYS THIS UNDER THE HEADING
DO NOT DEPEND ON MIRACLES.
00:52:10.89\00:52:15.33
SHE SAYS DO NOT
DEPEND ON MIRACLES.
00:52:15.33\00:52:19.33
GOD DOES NOT WORK
MIRACLES TO ADVANCE HIS TREAT.
00:52:19.33\00:52:22.57
IF A HUSBAND NEGLECTS TO
CULTIVATE THE SOIL AFTER SEWING
00:52:22.57\00:52:27.58
HIS SEED, GOD WORKS NO MIRACLE
TO COUNTERACT THE SURE RESULT OF
00:52:27.58\00:52:33.75
NEGLECT. SHE IS
SAYING IF YOU ARE IN YOUR
00:52:33.75\00:52:36.92
ARMCHAIR, EATING BONBONS AND
WATCHING TV, THAT NEIGHBOR NEXT
00:52:36.92\00:52:41.29
DOOR IS NOT GOING TO BE SAVED
WHILE YOU ARE SITTING THERE.
00:52:41.29\00:52:45.13
BUT IF YOU GO, THEN IT ALLOWS
GOD TO WORK THROUGH YOU, AND TO
00:52:45.13\00:52:49.20
DO MIRACLES. IN THE
HARVEST HE WILL FIND HIS
00:52:49.20\00:52:55.24
FIELD BARRON. GOD
WORKS ACCORDING TO GREAT
00:52:55.24\00:52:59.94
PRINCIPLES, AND IT IS
OUR PART TO MATURE WISE PLAN.
00:52:59.94\00:53:03.98
SO CHURCHES OUGHT TO BE THINKING
AND PRAYING, HOW CAN WE MEET
00:53:03.98\00:53:09.32
THIS COMMUNITY AND
DRAW THEM TO JESUS.
00:53:09.32\00:53:11.29
IT MAY BE A BIBLE STUDY, BUT IT
MAY BE A LOAF OF BREAD, OR JUST
00:53:11.29\00:53:15.69
SOME CARE. IT MAY BE
DOING SOME OTHER KINDS
00:53:15.69\00:53:18.39
OF THINGS. TO
MATURE PLANS AND SET IN
00:53:18.39\00:53:22.93
OPERATION THE MEANS WHEREBY
GOD SHALL BRING ABOUT CERTAIN
00:53:22.93\00:53:27.17
RESULTS. WHEN I
WAS AT THE CHURCH, WE
00:53:27.17\00:53:29.70
CAME UP WITH THE
MOTHER'S DAY INITIATIVE.
00:53:29.70\00:53:32.17
WE ASKED THE CITY OF NEW YORK TO
GIVE US IMPLEMENTS FOR CLEANING
00:53:32.17\00:53:38.08
THE BLOCK. AND WE
GOT TOGETHER ON MOTHER'S
00:53:38.08\00:53:40.52
DAY MORNING, AND SOME FOLKS
SAID-WE WANT TO STAY IN BED AND
00:53:40.52\00:53:46.02
CHILL. BUT WE CLEANED THE WHOLE
BLOCK WHERE THE CHURCH SAT,
00:53:46.02\00:53:49.59
PHYSICALLY, THE
STICKS THE BAGS EVERYTHING.
00:53:49.59\00:53:51.83
AND IN THE AFTERNOON WE MADE A
NICE FLIER, AND SAID THIS IS THE
00:53:51.83\00:53:56.97
CHURCH'S MOTHER'S DAY
GIFT TO THE COMMUNITY.
00:53:56.97\00:54:00.64
THE NEXT SABBATH 20 FAMILIES
THAT HAD NEVER BEEN IN THE
00:54:00.64\00:54:05.14
CHURCH BEFORE. 20 FAMILIES.
00:54:05.14\00:54:06.71
JUST WANT TO KNOW,
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE.
00:54:06.71\00:54:10.08
BECAUSE THEY SAW US
DOING SOMETHING FOR THEM.
00:54:10.08\00:54:11.98
SO THINK OF WAYS --
BECAUSE THE WAYS ARE THERE.
00:54:11.98\00:54:16.42
THE METHODOLOGIES ARE
THERE YOU CAN USE TO REACH THESE
00:54:16.42\00:54:21.06
COMMUNITIES. SHELLEY
HAS SAID IT WELL, WE ARE
00:54:21.06\00:54:23.43
ALL PRIESTS, AND CALLED
TO LEAD PEOPLE TO THE LORD.
00:54:23.43\00:54:28.26
WE ARE CALLED TO USE
WHATEVER GIFTS -- WHAT DID THE
00:54:28.26\00:54:31.43
LORD -- WHAT IS
THAT IN YOUR HAND?
00:54:31.43\00:54:33.27
>> UH-HUH. >> USE
WHAT IS IN YOUR HAND TO
00:54:33.27\00:54:36.27
SERVE THE LORD. PASTOR
JOHNNY HAD SO MUCH -- I
00:54:36.27\00:54:39.51
JUST -- I JUST LOVED THE STORY,
YOU KNOW, THE CLOWN FACE IS JUST
00:54:39.51\00:54:44.21
WONDERFUL, AND THE
FACT THAT -- THAT FRIENDSHIP
00:54:44.21\00:54:47.85
EVANGELISM, HUGGING EVANGELISM,
TOUCHING EVANGELISM IS
00:54:47.85\00:54:51.49
RESPONSIBLE FOR GREAT CHURCH
GROWTH, AND THEN PUTTING LEGS ON
00:54:51.49\00:54:54.96
THE GOSPEL, GREG, DOING THINGS
THAT SHOW THAT WE ARE CONCERNED
00:54:54.96\00:54:59.63
ABOUT HEAVEN AND YOUR AFTER
LIFE, BUT WE ARE ALSO VERY MUCH
00:54:59.63\00:55:03.20
CONCERNED ABOUT THIS LIFE, AND
HOW YOU PREPARE FOR THE LORD AND
00:55:03.20\00:55:07.30
THE WALK THAT LEADS TO
GLORY. I WOULD LIKE TO -- IN THE
00:55:07.30\00:55:11.91
STRONGEST WAY THANK JILL
MORIKONE AND SHELLEY QUINN,
00:55:11.91\00:55:16.04
PASTOR KENNY SHELTON,
JOHN DINZEY AND GREG MORIKONE.
00:55:16.04\00:55:20.18
THIS HAS BEEN AN
EXCITING STUDY, HASN'T IT?
00:55:20.18\00:55:22.95
>> YES. >> WE HAVE
LEARNED A COUPLE OF
00:55:22.95\00:55:25.29
THINGS, AND DONE A FEW THINGS.
WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU -- FIND
00:55:25.29\00:55:29.56
A WAY TO SERVE THE LORD.
THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT GOD
00:55:29.56\00:55:33.16
WANTS YOU TO WORK WITH HIM. I
HAVE A READING WE WEREN'T ABLE
00:55:33.16\00:55:36.13
TO GET TO WHERE -- THE
LORD COULD -- IF HE DESIRED ASK
00:55:36.13\00:55:41.40
ANGELS TO DO THIS WORK,
OR HE CAN DO IT HIMSELF.
00:55:41.40\00:55:44.27
THERE ARE MANY TIMES HE STEPS IN
AND MAKES UP FOR OUR LETHARGY.
00:55:44.27\00:55:50.28
BUT THINGS WORK BEST WHEN YOU
JOIN HANDS WITH GOD TO DO A WORK
00:55:50.28\00:55:56.02
THAT HE WANTS TO DO.
THERE ARE SOME PLACES WHERE GOD
00:55:56.02\00:55:59.09
CAN'T GET IN, UNLESS HE
GETS IN THERE THROUGH YOU.
00:55:59.09\00:56:03.26
IT IS GOIN TO BE ON THAT
JOB OR OUT IN THE STREET.
00:56:03.26\00:56:07.36
SO MANY STORIES COME TO
MIND -- I HAVE TO RESIST THE
00:56:07.36\00:56:11.97
TEMPTATION TO DO THEM.
BUT FIND SOMETHING TO DO.
00:56:11.97\00:56:15.50
PRAY AND ASK THE LORD WHAT HE
WOULD HAVE YOU TO DO TO ADVANCE
00:56:15.50\00:56:22.48
HIS KINGDOM, AND GOD WILL
SHOW YOU HAVE, AND THEN DO IT.
00:56:22.48\00:56:25.91
DO IT KNOWING THAT GOD WILL LEAD
YOU ALWAYS IN TRIUMPH, AND GOD
00:56:25.91\00:56:30.79
CAN DO ANYTHING BUT FAIL.
NOW IN CLOSING, MAY THE LOVE OF
00:56:30.79\00:56:35.39
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF
AND GOD OUR FATHER, WHO HAS
00:56:35.39\00:56:38.33
LOVED US, AND GIVEN US
EVER-LASTING CONSOLATION,
00:56:38.33\00:56:43.63
COMFORT YOU AND GIVE YOU
EVERY GOOD HOPE BY GRACE, AND
00:56:43.63\00:56:48.10
ESTABLISH YOU IN EVERY GOOD WORD
AND WORK IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
00:56:48.10\00:56:51.21
JESUS CHRIST.
WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN SOON.
00:56:51.21\00:56:53.27
THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US. KEEP ON WORKING.
00:56:53.27\00:56:56.64
KEEP ON PRAYING. KEEP ON LOVING.
00:56:56.64\00:56:59.25
KEEP ON SERVING, AND ONE DAY
SOON, AND VERY SOON, WE WILL SEE
00:56:59.25\00:57:06.62
HIM. GOOD NIGHT, AND GOD BLESS.
