01:00 Well, good evening and we're so happy that
01:02 you could join us on our live tonight because 01:06 we have some exciting things to talk about. 01:08 This is Ruthie Jacobsen and she'll be our 01:11 co-host this evening, Ruthie is absolutely no 01:14 stranger to 3ABN. You're on 3ABN long 01:19 before I was ever on 3ABN. Maybe. 01:21 And you'd have been, in directing the prayer 01:24 ministries of the North American Division of 01:27 Seventh-day Adventist for a number of years. 01:30 And before I went there as a Vice-President 01:33 you have been there and you're still there 01:35 long after I've left. That's right. 01:37 And we're gonna be talking about some great 01:39 things, but Ruthie I just wanted to bring you 01:42 upto date, our viewers upto date on some 01:45 exciting things that are happening at 3ABN. 01:48 You know, last year the Lord gave us the 01:50 Pillars Project, that's right; this was most, 01:53 one of the most successful projects in the 01:56 history of Three Angels Broadcasting Network. 01:59 And it is just gone out around the world. 02:03 And we have been so excited, Camille and I 02:06 were overseas, we were in England. 02:08 What do we hear? We heard one of the 02:10 songs from our pillars, album and it was just 02:14 beautifully done by a local individual there. 02:18 And last week or so we were at a funeral for 02:23 A.W Roddy, a good friend of ours. 02:25 And all over the, the speaker comes the 02:29 sound of some of the pillars music, 02:31 it was so comforting at that particular funeral. 02:36 Now, this year a new project very close to 02:40 that and Danny Shelton is working on that 02:43 right now, they're over at the Sound Center 02:45 in fact, I was trying to get Danny to run 02:47 by here for a few minutes, but every minute 02:50 is counting because it's just a little over a 02:53 month there me almost two months I guess, 02:56 but until our Camp Meeting and we're going 03:00 to have this music ready, and I've got Danny 03:03 on this phone. So, he is on the speaker phone. 03:06 Danny can you hear me? I can hear you 03:09 Brother Jim. Alright, and I'm hoping that our 03:12 viewers can hear you because we weren't 03:15 able, we didn't have time to really hook up 03:17 our regular workup here. And so, I still wanted 03:20 to talk to you and tell me little bit about 03:22 what's going on at the Sound Center. 03:25 Well, first of all this time you call me once 03:28 before you were doing the live and I didn't 03:30 know you were doing a live and I call to you. 03:33 Yeah, that's right. And I don't know if you 03:34 remember that. I do. And, and you had left 03:38 your phone or kept your phone with you and I 03:42 guess it rang there, but anyway tonight 03:44 at least you've asked me to give an update, 03:47 yes, and say hi to Ruthie and all the other 03:49 guests that are there. That's alright. 03:51 And I know Ruthie loves the Gospel music, 03:53 that's right, yes. And for sure, but we're 03:55 doing an incredible project, we're calling it 03:58 Pillars hymns, it's not you know our last 04:02 these all original music, but we have taken 04:04 from the oldest Adventist hymns and some 04:07 of the hymns from as far back as the first 04:09 book that came out I think in 1869, 04:13 but I picked out some wonderful songs and 04:16 we have employed Tim Parton full time. 04:19 Tim is a natural you know, Ruthie you 04:21 probably know Tim, I do, he played in so 04:23 many groups. Tell him hello for us. 04:25 And a nationally known songwriter and piano 04:28 player, wonderful, and actually he's a 04:30 singer also, but we have Tim working on this 04:33 full time with us with Bobby Bradley and 04:35 E.T. Everett and of course you and John and 04:37 C.A. Murray and myself and we're actually 04:40 putting together. And today we've been 04:42 tracking in fact for the last two days, 04:45 we have a rhythm section coming in that's 04:47 putting down all the basic music and for the, 04:51 all of the Pillars song. And so, we've got that 04:53 all accomplished right here at our 3ABN 04:55 Sound Center. Next week we'll have a variety 04:59 of singers. This year we're gonna have John 05:01 Lomacang and Yvonne Lewis and I mean we're 05:04 gonna do a song and C.A. Murray and Melody 05:07 and Reggie & Ladye Love Smith, at with on 05:10 our last one. So, we have a few new singers 05:13 this year, but next week we're gonna spend 05:17 most of the week, everybody going in and 05:19 trying to put on their finish locals. 05:21 And then the following week we're putting 05:23 down a huge choir, it will be over 60 voices, 05:27 down in Nashville, we'll be going there and 05:29 doing some backup singing, putting that 05:31 altogether and then the following week we've, 05:34 the strings Kris Wilkinson who did the strings 05:38 for the first project. Now, the Pillars Project 05:41 is also doing all the string arranging, 05:43 so she will be putting on all the string, 05:46 then there is the matter of rushing back here 05:48 Jim and getting, trying to get all of this done 05:51 and hopefully if we get it done by may night 05:54 that it will be pressed and by Camp Meeting 05:58 we should have a finished CD for, 06:00 for everybody. Wow! That is really tremendous. 06:02 We are excited about it. We keep every chance 06:06 we get, we get to run over to the Sound Center 06:08 and, and just look in and see watch some of 06:11 the things that are being done there, 06:13 but Danny, we really are looking forward to 06:16 this, just as we looked forward to the Pillars 06:18 Project and we were not disappointed, 06:21 God really blessed with that. 06:22 This is gonna be huge Jim. Yeah, it is, we 06:25 really believe that the Lord is gonna use this, 06:28 and the Lord is using the good music. 06:31 And folks sometimes it's hard to find good 06:34 music today. Even among Christian people. 06:37 And so, music that would, many of us feel 06:40 comfortable with. You know, the pillars music 06:42 was the kind of music you feel comfortable with 06:44 and Danny tells me that this is gonna be the 06:47 same, isn't that right Danny? Jim this, 06:50 this music, when the pioneers were writing 06:53 this music they were anxiously looking at the 06:57 second coming, in fact it's something new to 06:59 many of the believers finding out the Jesus 07:02 was indeed coming back again. Yeah. 07:04 And so, there is so much excitement and so 07:06 much joy and so, the songs are so positive. 07:10 And each song shouldn't left by the way side. 07:13 These are all part of the pillars, are way 07:15 marked to this church that here bring us to 07:18 where we are today. So, the folks won't be 07:21 disappointed, I didn't know how we could take 07:24 these songs, but after listening to the 07:26 arrangements and Tim and E. T, and Bobby 07:28 and everybody is working on, I'm, I'm 07:31 tremendously excited. I think it's a great, 07:34 great project that the people are gonna love 07:36 it. And most of all be blessed by. 07:38 I know I should, I have been already. 07:40 Wow! That's just great Danny. 07:41 Well, listen keep us posted on this, 07:44 we're gonna get some more information on 07:46 our next behind the scenes. And I hope we 07:49 can get you in here and, and talk about it 07:51 then. And also maybe give us B-roll footage 07:54 and so forth where we can. Well, see some 07:57 of the actual things that are happening over 07:59 there. And we look forward to that. 08:02 Okay, thank so much and God bless you all 08:05 on the program tonight. God bless Danny, 08:07 we'll see you later, bye-bye. Bye-bye. 08:10 Well, we're excited here I want to tell you the 08:12 Lord, Ruthie is doing something fantastic. 08:16 This is gonna be huge. It is, and you know, 08:19 we found out recently we, we never really 08:21 kind of knew, how many people could see if 08:25 they are really turned on their television sets. 08:28 How many people could watch a program like 08:30 this tonight? No, they don't have to hook up 08:33 to another cable, don't have to hook up a 08:36 satellite, don't have to do anything different. 08:39 How many you know, just by our television, 08:42 okay, how many could watch? And we found 08:44 out recently 1.65 billion people can turn 08:51 on their sets and watch 3ABN. 08:55 But what about, what about the Internet? 08:57 Well, that's another 2 million, two billion 09:00 excuse me, that's another two billion but, 09:03 but you see we believe that God is setting 09:08 this up. And we want you folks and this is 09:11 a prayer objective that I hope that everybody 09:14 that views 3ABN will start to talk about and 09:18 to pray about to the Lord. And that is that 09:21 more people would turn on. You see, 09:23 a lot of people are watching the televisions 09:25 tonight, but they're not watching us could 09:27 be we are one of the channels they get. 09:31 And listen, you take in Europe they've got, 09:34 they've got a satellite over there that is just 09:37 like Direct TV here except it's free to 09:40 everybody say, so everybody in the nation 09:43 and those all those nations over there can 09:45 pick it up. And we have other places around 09:48 the world that are like that plus we're on over 09:50 a thousand cable outlets right here on the US, 09:53 Dish Network a 135 stations that we own 09:57 that we're on. So, what our prayer objective 10:01 now is Lord is there the, the whole mechanics 10:05 are setup, please Holy Spirit inspire them to 10:09 look. Amen. And we're, we're finding people 10:12 walking in a Churches on a, on a weekly 10:15 basis, that's right, I mean by the hundreds 10:17 folks. It happens quite often in Las Vegas. 10:21 Oh! In Las Vegas it's happening 10:22 over-and-over again, yeah. And all the 10:24 Churches in Las Vegas, the Paradise, 10:27 the Mountain View, recently I've mentioned 10:30 that Marvin Ray and his book talks about 10:33 having down to Mountain View and ask him 10:36 how are you baptizing so many peoples? 10:38 And they said, we baptize 40 to 50 people 10:41 every year just they walk in the door from 10:44 3ABN. Wow! So, it is amazing what God is 10:48 doing. Now, we want to pray. And I want 10:51 to, and Ruthie I'm gonna ask you to pray 10:52 tonight before we begin, but I want to read 10:56 the real, a part of the real Lord's Prayer. 10:59 That is John 17. That's right. Now, the model 11:04 prayer is just so dear to my heart. 11:06 And I say it often the Lord's Prayer and 11:10 I love it. And especially when it's get down 11:12 that last part we'd say, forgive us our debts 11:15 as we forgive our debtors, forgive us those 11:18 that that are not our friends just as much 11:21 as we would want to God to forgive us. 11:24 And so, and then we use to have a lot of 11:27 exercise in forgiveness here, I want to tell 11:30 you that that, that's a, a fact, but I want 11:34 to read this text because Jesus says here, 11:37 first of all in verse 13 He says, 11:40 "But now I come to you that these things I 11:43 speak in the world that they may have My 11:45 joy fulfilled in themselves." Jesus says, 11:48 I want you to have My joy. Wow! I want His 11:52 joy, His joy; I mean that's genuine joy. 11:57 And He says, I want you yo have it. He said, 11:59 "I have given them your word. 12:02 And the world has hated them because they're 12:03 not of the, of the world just as I am not of the 12:06 world." Then verse 15 He says, "I do not pray 12:11 that you should take them out of the world, 12:13 but that you should keep them from the evil 12:17 one. They are not of the world, just as I am 12:21 not of the world. Sanctify them by your 12:25 truth: your word is truth. Tonight God's word 12:32 is truth. Amen. And He says, I want to 12:36 sanctify my people by My word of truth. 12:41 Amen, amen. And tonight Ruthie you know, 12:42 we've got so many people that have so 12:45 many challenges, that's right, challenges with 12:48 their children, challenges with their money, 12:51 challenges with their, their job, health, health, 12:56 every kind of challenge that there is, 12:59 that's right, their marriages, that's right. 13:00 And would you lift our viewers up in prayer 13:05 tonight? Would you do that? Absolutely, 13:07 let's pray. Father in Heaven, we are so 13:10 thankful for the wonderful gift and the 13:13 privilege of prayer. Thank you that prayer 13:17 is as strong as God is. Thank you for giving 13:21 us such a, an amazing gift. And Lord as we 13:25 heard tonight a little earlier thank you for 13:27 this wonderful music project and thank you 13:30 for blessing it. And all the people who will be 13:32 blessed because of it. And as Jim just 13:36 mentioned we don't know the people who are 13:39 watching, but you do. And you know, 13:42 that young person or that older person who 13:45 struggling with something, maybe it's an 13:48 addiction, maybe it's a health issue, 13:51 maybe it's a family member, maybe it's a 13:54 terminal illness, but Lord we thank you that 13:58 there is power in Your word, that's right, 14:01 Your promises are true and that You will 14:03 never leave us or forsaken us. Amen. 14:06 So, Lord we thank you that you are present, 14:09 not only here with us, but this is your world. 14:15 In Psalm 2 you tell us that the father says 14:19 to the son, today I have given you the whole 14:21 earth for your inheritance. So, Lord 14:24 put Your arms around our planet, 14:27 it's just a little blue dot in space, 14:29 but Jesus died. So, for us and so you're not 14:35 willing that any should perish, we ask for a 14:37 special blessing for each one tonight 14:41 because we come to you in the strong name 14:43 of Jesus, amen. Amen, praise the Lord. 14:48 Well you know Ruthie, you remember 14:51 Ben Parish, you're saying you know, 14:52 that so beautifully often sang with George 14:55 Vandeman and for George's programs I 14:58 enjoyed Ben's music so very much. 15:00 And not long ago his son Todd was here with 15:06 his wife Lisa.

And those prayers plus thousands 21:14 of others and all of the students at 21:17 Ozark Academy were praying diligently 21:20 for Mike. Yeah. God has heard those prayers. 21:23 And tonight he is in rehab recuperating 21:26 and he's anxious to be back at his post. 21:29 Let me tell you a little bit about Mike Dale; 21:30 Mike Dale was an outstanding public 21:33 school teacher in Texas, Cana, Texas. 21:36 He was teacher of the year many times 21:40 and, and administrator I, I don't know of all 21:44 the positions he held, but I think principal 21:46 and so forth of some schools there. 21:48 And just tremendous he took early retirement. 21:51 I know that when I was there Mike used 21:53 to help us at our Camp Yorktown Bay and 21:57 he was very much into that. He later became 22:01 Principal at Ozark Adventist Academy. 22:05 And then recently he was sick with, 22:08 it was a very serious case of viral pneumonia, 22:11 is that what it was? Yes, actually they, 22:15 they said he had double pneumonia, 22:17 a typical pneumonia. Right. Mike was 22:20 extremely sick, yes. Mike's desire has been 22:24 that God be in control of Ozark Academy. 22:29 Yeah. He is a praying man, yes, 22:32 I can tell you that. Yes, he is. 22:33 And he has had on his heart a burden 22:38 for the students, and we'll share more 22:41 you know, a little bit about what took 22:43 place there, alright, and Mike's part in that. 22:46 Alright, but he, he was flown from a hospital 22:50 there in Northwest Arkansas, yes, 22:54 to Kansas City, is that correct? 22:57 That's correct, that's correct. And he was 22:58 put in intensive care there in a very 23:00 large hospital. He was, and, on a ventilator. 23:04 Okay. Mike was on the ventilator 23:06 I'm sure well over a month. One month. 23:10 We, we recently recognized the 23:14 seriousness of his illness, yes, but 23:16 praise God, prayers answered, Mike 23:20 is making phone calls, okay, on his 23:22 own cell phone. Alright. And he is up and 23:25 around he's, he's got a little ways 23:26 to go, but I have full confidence 23:30 by next school year Mike is gonna be back 23:32 at his post. Okay, and as a, as a student. 23:36 Raquel is from Ozark. That's right; 23:39 you're one of his students. Yes. And 23:41 tell us how, how was this impacting 23:43 the students. It, it was really shocking 23:47 to lot of us because we see Mr. Dale 23:50 as like a strong I don't know powerful figure, 23:54 because he always stories of his past 23:57 and how. Yeah. He's overcome so 23:58 many situations, yes, so hearing this 24:00 and knowing about it was really shocking 24:03 to us like you know, you have to go 24:04 through this kind of. Yeah, yeah, but the, 24:07 the young people there have been praying 24:09 for him as you mentioned, yes, 24:11 and you've, you've seen an answer to 24:14 your prayer. Oh! Yes. Well, listen Mike 24:16 if you're watching tonight we love you, 24:18 we continue to pray for you and we believe 24:21 that you are really on the road to recovery. 24:23 And God is gonna restore your strength, 24:26 some of us have had some major 24:28 illnesses at time and we know God can 24:30 restore your strength that He can give you 24:32 that energy that you had in the past; 24:35 you'll have it again when He heals you. 24:37 So, just know that we're thinking about you 24:40 and we're praying about you. Well listen, 24:43 tell me some more about what's going on? 24:45 Well you know, the emphasis now is 24:47 on revival. Yes. Revival and praying 24:51 and getting to know God intimately and 24:54 the young people have had an amazing 24:58 experience, it was the weekend, 25:00 the last weekend in October. Well, 25:03 tell us what happened? This, this is 25:05 something, if you haven't heard this, 25:07 my son would say, this is gonna knock your 25:09 socks off. Okay, well I've got my boots 25:11 on tonight, so I'll have to get over 25:13 the boots. This is amazing. Well, at the 25:16 end of October we hosted a prayer conference 25:19 at our school, yes, and I'm not sure 25:21 how many students were there, we had 25:23 about 400 I think, yeah of course to 400 25:25 and I was about 70 student like team 25:28 leaders that we, we went off to a separate 25:30 camp and we were supposed to get 25:32 training, I guess on how to lead the 25:35 conference. And when we went there we were 25:39 all surprised I remember the first day that we 25:42 were there, when we first got there I was 25:45 wondering when dinner wave, and I was 25:48 asking around, I was like when is dinner 25:50 time, does anyone know when dinner 25:51 time is, you know, I was answering 25:52 the sponsors who had a schedule, over 25:55 the schedule was, so we could find it out. 25:56 And nobody, nobody had a schedule, 26:00 nobody knew when the program started 26:02 and I was like I don't, I don't understand, 26:05 why doesn't anyone have a schedule of 26:07 what's going on. And type A, type A. 26:10 Yes, and from then, from then on like the 26:14 Holy Spirit just led from our first program 26:17 we knew that it was just gonna be 26:20 I don't a lot, we experienced the, the 26:23 lively personality of Pastor Gary, okay, and 26:27 he let us through and he taught us how to 26:29 basically let move ourselves out of way 26:32 let the Holy Spirit lead and throughout that 26:33 whole training camp we, we let go and let 26:38 God lead and. Amen. Well, and you know his, 26:43 his goals were, he wanted you to learn to 26:45 give you testimony. Yes. And to be able 26:49 to lead a small group Bible study. Yes. 26:51 And but most of all to pray. Yes. And he did 26:56 not want things to be structured. No. 26:58 He wanted you to learn to depend on God. 27:02 And I think that came through didn't it? 27:04 Oh! Yes. Oh! Yes. You know, sometimes when the 27:06 schedules are too tight it seems like the 27:09 Holy Spirit doesn't work as well, as when 27:11 there it is. But we put him in a fence, 27:13 yeah, you know, when we put those schedules 27:15 and you know, give him time like, the 27:17 Holy Spirit when he's gonna be able to 27:19 come out and do his work and it's. 27:21 Isn't that amazing that we as puny human 27:24 beings, have the audacity to do something 27:26 like that, limit God, yeah, we can limit God, 27:28 you know, we can tell Him what He can do. 27:30 Yeah. Which is, it is, I mean he know shake 27:33 his head, yeah, but I think this is one 27:36 reason why he likes working with teenagers, 27:39 yes, because the Lord enjoys working with 27:41 young people because they are more willing 27:44 to be open and obedient and they don't know 27:48 what doesn't work. No, no that's right. 27:50 And then once you get away from the 27:54 schedule philosophy and you get in to allowing 27:58 the Holy Spirit to lead some wonderful 28:02 and beauty things can tape. Marian, what 28:04 happened on Friday night? Well, Ruthie we 28:08 brought the, the young people back from 28:11 the training and they were, by the time we 28:15 finished the training on Friday morning they, 28:18 they were so excited and then they began 28:22 to wonder how could this happened to 28:24 the students that were just coming on to 28:26 campus for the, for the prayer conference. 28:30 And you had a lot of different schools 28:32 represented. We did, we had schools from 28:35 Illinois from of course Ozark Academy 28:37 we had students from Texas, from 28:40 Ouachita Hills Academy, from Midland Adventist 28:44 Academy in Kansas City. And then many 28:47 students that were home schooled, high 28:50 school students. And so, we had all these 28:53 students coming on campus and these seventy 28:56 began to wonder, how can we make, 29:00 allow them to have the same experience 29:03 we just had? And we smiled because we 29:06 knew that there was nothing they could do, 29:08 or nothing we could do. And so, 29:11 when they got back over to the Academy Campus 29:14 they began, they gathered in a room and 29:18 they began to try to plan something and they 29:21 couldn't agree on what should be done and then 29:23 one of them said, wait a minute, 29:25 what's going on here? This is, this is not 29:27 the way it happened out there. And so, 29:30 they were all down on their knees, pleading 29:34 with the Lord for the young people that 29:36 were coming onto the campus that they would 29:38 have that same experience. Yeah. And 29:40 that was when the Holy Spirit took over again. 29:44 I like, I like something I would didn't get 29:46 to be there, so I have just been enjoying 29:50 this vicariously, but I have many of us 29:53 who weren't there have been blessed 29:54 over-and-over by hearing these stories, 29:56 but I understand that Gary Burns stood up 29:59 on Friday night and just welcome to people 30:02 and introduce the weekend and then he 30:04 said, now you aren't gonna see me 30:06 or other adults here on this platform 30:08 all weekend. The young people are in 30:10 charge and he prayed and he walked off. 30:13 Yes. And I guess it was quiet for a minute 30:16 or two and then finally young people came 30:19 up and started giving their testimonies. 30:21 Tell us what happened Raquel? That that night 30:24 was really amazing, people opened up and 30:26 share testimony they were confessing, 30:29 singing song, sharing personal experience 30:32 and that was great because once people 30:34 start doing it and there was at the end 30:37 of the stage you had to sit in line basically 30:39 to go next and the line just kept getting 30:41 longer-and-longer people kept wanting to share 30:43 more-and-more it was wonderful like how 30:46 you like one person's testimony would 30:48 encourage some, inspire, people yes. Yeah. 30:51 Tell us about, is that Craig the big tall kid 30:55 with iPhone, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb, yes, 30:58 tell us about that, that's wonderful story. 31:00 He was, he was inspire to go up and share 31:03 his personal experience with his music and 31:06 his iPod and how he was so connected with 31:08 his iPod and all the music on it, he would 31:10 always listen to it, that was like his escape 31:12 I guess, and. But this was dark music. Yes, 31:15 heavy metal that kind of music. And he went 31:20 up there and deleted all his music on his, 31:22 in front of everybody, is that right? 31:25 He said, this is Caleb with all of his music. 31:28 This is Caleb deleting all of his music, 31:31 all of music. And he made a good point 31:33 while he did that, he was like you can't 31:34 just you know, throw it all the way without 31:37 filling it was something good or else it's 31:39 just gonna refill with trash. Right. You know, 31:41 and so he, he had played a song you know 31:44 a Christian song that he enjoyed and it was 31:46 wonderful. I thought that point was really 31:47 important. And I understand that 31:49 kids came up you know, and surrounded him 31:52 and prayed for him. You know, that's one 31:54 of the things about teenagers you see, 31:57 such encouragement and such support for 32:00 one another, if one person's crying they're 32:02 all crying. Yeah, that's right. If, if one 32:04 person is laughing they're all laughing. 32:05 Amen. And they know that they, their parents 32:08 understand, that's right, another thing 32:10 about for teenagers is that, an adult 32:15 might try to fool a kid, but kids can't 32:19 fool each other. And they understand 32:21 exactly where you're coming from. And 32:24 it really, I mean you get through faster I 32:26 think than adults. I used to tell the kids 32:29 you are smarter now than you're ever 32:32 gonna be, you never gonna be this smart 32:35 again. You just keep getting dumber. Yeah, 32:37 yeah. And I've, I've told them you are in an 32:41 enviable position because adults will 32:44 listen to you, your parents listen to you 32:47 and children look up to you like you know, 32:50 you know everything. And so, teenagers are in 32:53 a very strategic and important position in 32:57 our Church today. That's right. That means 32:59 we need to step up, we need to. Yeah, 33:00 that's right. It's like I don't know when I 33:02 think about teenagers and are like the great 33:05 opportunity that we have, it makes me 33:08 think of my math class for one reason, 33:11 our teacher Mr. Fisher he always ask for 33:14 like people to, who like shout out the 33:16 answers, so he can maybe write it on the board 33:18 or whatever, and some of us may know how 33:22 to find the answer, and some of us may already 33:24 have the answer, but they're, they're always 33:26 be like a moment of silence like people are 33:28 scared to shout out the answer or people like 33:31 the people that know the answer they won't 33:33 say it because they know somebody else has it 33:35 or somebody else who find it first, so they 33:37 can say it. And I feel like that's what we're 33:38 doing in the Church like we know, waiting, 33:41 yes we're waiting and it's the moment of the 33:43 silence like somebody needs to say the answer, 33:45 someone needs to you know, step out there 33:47 like we know the answer, or some of us know how 33:50 to find it, but we're not, we're waiting on 33:52 someone else to do it. That's a wonderful 33:54 example Raquel, that's exactly where we are. 33:58 And I think God is saying, what are you 33:59 waiting for? Yes, like myself you've like, 34:02 I know you guys have the answer; you guys 34:04 have your calculators in front of you to find 34:05 the answer, that's like God find it and 34:07 waiting. It's like a Bible right there. Yeah, 34:08 right there the answers, right. Well and 34:11 you know, I wanted to, to ask Oby a question 34:15 in a minute too, but jump in when you see 34:19 something that because we all are, 34:21 are excited about this, that's right, and I 34:23 don't want to leave anybody out. Can I tell 34:27 what happened Saturday night? Yes. And wasn't 34:30 even there, but I've told this so many times 34:33 you'd think I was there. Yeah, on Sabbath 34:36 morning they had testimonies and Bible 34:39 study, on Sabbath afternoon they went 34:41 out in the community, yes, and gave books 34:44 away and prayed with people, yep, and 34:46 then in the evening when they came back 34:48 they were usually the kids get up and 34:53 again there's a long line waiting you know, 34:56 to tell what happened. Because there is a 34:58 lot of excitement, yes, lot of excitement, 35:00 but one of the first people was a girl by 35:05 the name of Brooke, Brooke she was 14, 35:09 yes, and she came up and told her story, 35:13 she was an addicted alcoholic. 35:16 Oh! Wow! At 14, 14, yeah. 35:19 And her home situation as a human being 35:23 we would look at that and say, that's 35:25 totally hopeless, yeah, that's hopeless. 35:27 But with God there are no hopeless cases. 35:30 No, nothing. And I just want to say that 35:32 into the camera tonight wherever you are with 35:35 God there are no hopeless cases. 35:37 That's right. God can do anything for you. 35:40 Yes. That night when Brooke came up 35:43 and gave her testimony she said, I want to 35:48 be baptized, yeah, I've never been baptized. 35:51 And so, the correct me if I'm wrong 35:54 because I wasn't there, but she, 35:56 the pastor took her aside and questioned 35:59 her and made sure that she understood 36:01 and she was ready for Baptism. 36:02 And then she was baptized, but that night 36:06 I don't know if I can tell this without a lot 36:10 of emotion because this is so amazing, 36:13 that night from about 8 O'clock until 36:17 2 O'clock in the morning these kids 36:20 were giving their testimonies weeping 36:23 together, praying together and 50 were 36:25 baptized. Wow! Wow! Really amazing. 36:28 Is that revival? Yes, it is. Absolutely it is. 36:32 It's the kind of revival that our pioneers had. 36:36 That's right. And they would pray sometimes 36:38 all night long, this is not an extreme thing 36:42 folks, it's something that we honestly are 36:45 all gonna have to start being more involved 36:47 with, if we're going to have the fortification 36:50 of our souls that we're gonna need to live 36:53 in the times that we're living in, 36:55 you look at the things that are happening 36:57 in Japan as far as the nuclear fall out situation, 37:01 we don't know where that's going, 37:04 and we don't know some of the things that 37:07 are going to start happening in this world 37:09 we must be ready and there's no way we can 37:13 do it without being fortified by the word 37:15 of God, that's right, and by prayer. 37:17 It's the only way. And I remember, 37:20 I remember after, when I was at the 37:21 prayer conference, the North American Prayer 37:24 Conference at the Cove, you know, there was, 37:27 there were some young people there not 37:29 many of us, but the ones that were there 37:31 I could see something you know, in them and, 37:34 and so one night I was, I was in well saying, 37:39 it was just kind of like a watch type thing 37:41 and me and these boys. Billy Graham Coves 37:43 near Asheville. Me, me and this boy we started, 37:47 we start talking and, and, and sharing our 37:51 faith with each other and, and kind of connecting 37:53 on a spiritual level really and, I remember 37:56 that night we, we just started praying 38:00 and we just prayed for hours. 38:02 And I, I, I barely knew this, this person, 38:05 but because we connected on a 38:07 spiritual level we weren't, we weren't 38:09 afraid and, and it was like we sparked each 38:12 other I mean, if this person, wow! This 38:13 person is, is, is willing to, to pray with me. 38:17 And, and, and the way they're pouring out 38:19 their heart to God I mean we wee pouring 38:21 our hearts out like things in our personal 38:23 life that to God you know, with his person 38:26 right next to us and it really strengthen us 38:28 and being with other young people there and, 38:30 and it was, it was, it was a great experience 38:33 spiritual relationship. It's true, isn't it Oby 38:36 that when somebody is praying about a 38:38 problem or a situation, the Holy Spirit reminds 38:42 you, yes, you know, that's something that 38:45 you can identify with that and not only do 38:48 I want you to pray for him, but you can pray 38:50 for yourself. And it strengthens both of you. 38:52 Good, that's right. And especially when, 38:54 especially when you're willing, when 38:57 someone sees that, well this person is 38:58 willing to share what in their life has, 39:03 has brought them down, this person really 39:05 and most people don't want to admit their 39:06 faults, yeah, and when they see that they're, 39:08 they're like well this person cares you know 39:11 and, and, and is trusting with us and, 39:13 and it's a way to strengthen each other. 39:15 That's one of the beauties I think in 39:18 working with young people. Yes. 39:20 Because you don't play games, or at least 39:23 as not as much as some adults, we as adults 39:26 tend to do, you're just willing to look at the 39:30 bottom line and say, who are we trying to kid, 39:33 we need God. Yeah, yeah. And that's really what 39:36 we all. As adults we're a little more guarded and 39:40 we little more careful, but yeah a young 39:43 person is very open. A young person is a child 39:47 who's grown big and the Lord said, except 39:50 we become as little children and that's 39:53 true for those of us who have really grown big 39:56 unless we become as little children, 39:59 trusting in Him, having faith in Him, 40:02 then He says, we want really have 40:04 that connection. Child like in our 40:06 faith and trust. Yeah. Ruthie, 40:08 can I share with you what was taking place 40:11 at the back of the church? Please. 40:13 On that Saturday night, as adults we were 40:18 not allowed to go upfront, 40:20 but we really didn't want to, 40:21 aren't you glad? I'm so thankful. 40:24 I was at the back of the Church praying 40:26 as I was ordered to by Gary. 40:29 And of course that was what I want to do, 40:32 but as we were back there praying 40:34 the church was fairly dark except for 40:37 the lights upfront and as I walked around the 40:41 very back of the Church I almost stumbled 40:43 over some boys that were laying faced down 40:48 pleading with God for these kids that had 40:52 come to that conference that they would 40:54 yeild their hearts to the Lord, 40:56 from their school, from this all of the schools. 40:59 I walked around the hallway and in 41:01 the overflow room on the outside a boy 41:05 came out of the room and he said, 41:07 Mrs. Parson, could you please come here, 41:10 my friend needs you to pray with her? 41:13 And so, I went in thinking that she was 41:15 you know, struggling and she was in tears 41:20 just pouring her heart out and I said, 41:23 what is it? What, what's troubling 41:25 you know, and she said, my friends, 41:27 I'm just pleading with the Lord, 41:29 my friends haven't yet yielded 41:32 to the Holy Spirit. And she, 41:35 her heart was so full for her school 41:38 classmates that she was pleading and crying 41:43 asking God to reach them. Don't you think 41:46 this is the kind of love that God wants 41:50 us all to have? Absolutely. 41:52 For the people who are lost. Absolutely, 41:54 and when we really want to have that, 41:59 God gives it to us. Had a good friend 42:01 by the name of Ray Rushing and Ray 42:03 told me that one time he was at a Church 42:05 in Dallas, Texas and he said, 42:07 we would pray and we were praying 42:10 for souls? And he said that was one 42:12 young man that he said, when I came on 42:16 in he was lying face down. That's right. 42:19 He said, he was a Bible, a Bible College, 42:23 a Bible College president of a small 42:25 Bible college as he was lying face down 42:29 and he was praying and he said, 42:31 I could, he was praying out loud oh! God, 42:33 please make me a soul winner; 42:36 please make me a soul winner. 42:38 Amen. He was praying this prayer over 42:40 and over again and he said, 42:42 I knelt beside Him, and we began 42:45 to pray together. And he said that was 42:47 the first time I ever made Billy Graham. 42:50 And Billy Graham was that young college, 42:53 Bible college president. Amen. Who went from 42:56 there to holding the meeting that he held 42:58 out in California and became, amen, 43:01 a soul winner because he was asking God, 43:04 make me a soul winner. And you know, 43:07 I think that all of us want that and we 43:09 get a Free Offer for you tonight. 43:12 And it's "How to Grow in Jesus." 43:15 Right now you and I need to grow as 43:17 never before.

Now, the second 43:44 half of our program Ruthie we're gonna, 43:47 if we can get time to get through them. 43:50 We're gonna have some questions and you know, 43:53 the address for questions is, 43:55 questions what is it, at 3abn.org, 44:00 live@3abn.org. And you can send 44:04 your questions to that address; 44:07 put them in here, any kind of question 44:09 about prayer, revival, things of that nature, 44:14 618-627-4651 for your questions or 44:19 live@3abn.org. And we'll be looking 44:23 forward to those, those questions, 44:25 yes. I'd like to say something more 44:27 about Billy Graham. Okay. He had been 44:31 speaking and he had been holding 44:34 evangelistic crusades, but something 44:36 happened in Los Angeles. Yes. And all the church 44:41 has got together and they decided 44:42 that there we're gonna pray for months before, 44:46 yes, his crusade. And he said that was 44:49 when God turned everything. Oh! Yes, 44:52 absolutely. While they were praying the, 44:55 the crime rate went down, yeah, 44:58 and everything changed in that City 45:01 of Los Angeles. And so, he said I want to, 45:04 to continue with this, but I will never go 45:07 into a city that doesn't have a city 45:09 wide prayer, yeah, yeah, 45:11 serious. Then people would realize 45:12 he was just in a great big old tent on a, 45:15 a vacant lot. Yeah. It was not some kind of a, 45:18 a great auditorium or great stadium 45:22 or anything of that nature, it was about as 45:24 primitive as you can get in that 45:26 first meeting, right, but God continued to 45:28 bless it and night after night people 45:31 were receiving Jesus Christ and 45:33 He went from there, if my memory 45:35 serves me right, Boston to Pastor 45:39 Harold John Ockenga's Church there the park, 45:43 I guess called Park Street to Presbyterian 45:46 and held his second meeting in a 45:48 Church there. And that began 45:50 to grow and grow and then they went out 45:52 to one of the places there for a stadium, 45:58 actually an indoor type stadium and I'm 46:00 trying to remember the name of it, 46:01 but it's where the Celtics play and the 46:04 so forth the old one and there they held 46:08 a larger thing, but these meetings 46:10 were started out small, yeah, and God continued 46:13 to bless them. And as the people 46:15 prayed then things began to happen. 46:18 Do you know that man is incredible, 46:20 they just celebrated I think his 46:22 90th birthday. Yes. And but he was 46:24 telling his friends and his family. 46:26 You know, I don't the Lord is 46:27 finished with me I think there are some 46:29 more things He wants me to do. Yeah. 46:31 And it may not be in the huge crusades 46:34 that He used to have, but He's giving Billy 46:38 Graham ideas that He can carry out, 46:40 or carry them out through other people, 46:43 he's just there, that's right, praying 46:44 and studying and wanting to be used, 46:47 it's beautiful. And Billy Graham 46:49 if you're watching tonight we want you 46:50 to know that we really appreciate 46:52 your ministry of bringing, amen, many, 46:54 many people to Christ. And there are so 46:57 many people that are part of the 46:58 Three Angels Messages found that gave 47:02 their hearts to Jesus. Oh! Yes, in a Bally 47:04 Graham crusade. And all over the world. 47:07 And George Beverly Shea is a hundred 47:08 and what? He is a little over, 47:10 I think a 102 I think it is. But you know, 47:12 he can still sing. He still sings, 47:14 and watches other 3ABN. So, 47:17 he maybe watching tonight as well, 47:19 if he is, okay, we're praying that both 47:22 of them have great health because they 47:24 were great inspirations to some of us 47:26 as young people they, they held up Jesus 47:29 Christ and preached, preached to Christ 47:32 and they were a great example to us. 47:35 Well, I'd like to say something else getting 47:37 back to the Ozark Team Prayer Conference. Yes 47:40 There was a group that came to 47:42 the North American Division in Silver Spring 47:44 Maryland and they were there for the year 47:48 end meetings and they prayed over 47:50 Elder Dan Jackson and they led out 47:53 in the early morning prayer, prayer time, 47:55 times and they went to the prayer room. 47:59 And you know, Paul Brantley told me 48:01 something he is a Vice-President he said, 48:04 I was going into the building one day 48:06 and I just felt like he had quite a few big 48:11 things in front of him and he said, 48:12 I just felt like I needed to pray 48:15 and he said, I went up to the Chapel 48:17 on second floor to pray and he said, 48:20 it was just full to walls with all these 48:23 kids because they were there praying 48:25 for people. And he said, 48:27 when they thought they had finished 48:29 praying for everyone that had come in, 48:32 they were gonna just prayer walk 48:34 in the building and pray for, 48:35 pray for people in their offices or cubicles 48:39 as they had request. And he said, 48:43 Paul, told us he said, I saw them they were 48:45 getting ready to leave and I said, 48:46 no, no, no don't go yet I want to 48:48 have prayer. And so, they prayed for Him 48:51 and He has been so grateful for that. 48:55 He still, he still talks about it, 48:57 still thankful for it. There's something 49:00 about the prayer and the faith, yes, 49:02 of a teenager. That's right, very true. 49:06 I know I notice when, when I go to 49:10 strangers I've, I've done canvassing 49:12 for a long time and, and usually I, I, I ask, 49:14 if I can pray with them before I leave 49:16 and I mean just hearing from a young 49:18 person that this young person wants to, 49:20 wants to pray with me. I mean most young 49:22 people don't have thought, asking to God 49:24 and just ask you to pray with somebody, 49:26 right, but I remember one woman she, 49:29 she was so shocked that I mean this is a, 49:32 this has been a, been a time when 49:34 I actually knelt down to 'cause to get 49:37 down with her level to pray with her. Yes 49:39 She was just shock that a young 49:41 person would do that and the impact 49:43 it had on her was amazing, 49:44 she ended up buying 17 religious 49:47 spiritual books, books for the employees, 49:50 book for other people because she was so 49:52 touched and, and for a few minutes 49:54 she was stunned, she couldn't say 49:55 anything, she actually almost basically 49:58 dismissed me because she was so shocked 50:00 and I was walking down the street. 50:02 And, and her secretary came running after 50:03 me and said, she wants you 50:04 to come back and that's when she 50:05 told me how, how, how touched she 50:08 wasn't and she was just speechless. 50:10 And she just want everything, 50:11 she's like I don't care what you have 50:12 just, just give it, I want it all, 50:14 whatever you have I want it. 50:16 Praise the Lord. And she, she saw 50:17 and it was amazing. Praise the Lord. 50:18 Praise the Lord. Now, that was in 50:19 somebody's office. That was in 50:21 somebody's office, it was a, yeah I was, 50:23 it was actually in a, it was a, 50:25 a business actually really, yeah, and so. 50:30 Raquel, what have you seen in your life 50:33 personally as a result of prayer? 50:37 Wow, I've seen personally just looking 50:42 at where God has, where God has 50:44 brought me from to where I'm now 50:46 as a result of my prayer life and my 50:49 personal you know experiences with Him 50:51 that's I guess the first hand account of 50:53 what prayer has done for me, 50:55 and what God has done for me and I don't, 50:58 I don't know it'd a long segment, 51:00 if I went into, to places that he, 51:02 move on we've got a few more minutes, 51:04 so go ahead. But Team Prayer 51:06 Conference though was five months ago. 51:08 Yeah. And that is not an experience 51:11 that has just gone away. Yes one, 51:14 one thing I, I shared with Ms. Marian 51:17 earlier was ever since the prayer conference, 51:19 I don't know it really strengthened my 51:21 faith and my, my trust in God. And so, 51:24 after ever since the prayer conference in 51:26 October I've never set my alarm clock. 51:29 And so, every morning, every night I pray, 51:32 I pray that He wakes me up and I know 51:35 that He will, I trust that He will 51:36 and He always wakes me up and we, 51:38 we have that time to spend together 51:41 and He's, I've never been late to any 51:44 appointment or, wow! Or anything 51:47 and it's just. Raquel there's on 51:49 the screen now these are the pictures, 51:52 yes, that came from Ozark Academy, 51:54 these groups of people praying together. 51:56 Yes. And you can just see the intensity 52:02 of the prayers. This is at the NAD, 52:05 okay yeah, there here. Yeah, that's right. 52:09 And here are people that care enough 52:11 about one another and are willing to pray 52:15 and to open the scriptures together. 52:18 Yes, this is at the training camp that we 52:20 went to the, the 70 team leaders, 52:22 okay, this is during a Bible study we did. 52:25 Kids, kids can make use of any space, 52:27 they don't care. Oh! Yeah, 52:28 well that's all yeah. And it has not a 52:31 problem with all. And where was this? 52:33 This is at Dan Jack, Elder Dan Jackson's 52:36 house, His house, yes. Wow! Alright. 52:40 You know, Ruthie, you mentioned that 52:42 that girl who is just on, on the floor praying 52:46 interceding for her friends and it was 52:49 amazing what the Lord brought up 52:50 from my heart, it sounds like Lord 52:52 help me to see through Yours eyes, 52:53 help me to feel, where You feel, 52:55 help me to feel the need for the people 52:57 around me, help me to, to see it and, 53:00 and to intercede for it. He touched my heart 53:03 and the Lord touched my heart in such 53:04 a way that that whenever an issue 53:07 would arise with some of my friends 53:09 whether it was spiritual battles or, 53:11 of battles of the flesh and different things, 53:15 I would fight myself pouring out my heart 53:17 to God, to God crying interceding for this 53:20 other friend of mine even, 53:23 even neighbors that I had that aren't 53:25 even Christian, that don't even know 53:27 God totally in the world I found myself 53:30 one day 'cause this was, this was a day was a, 53:32 it was a powerful, it was, I was crying for 53:35 this person to say because I've been over 53:37 at their house and I had been 53:38 friends with them. And this girl was 53:40 thinking about committing suicide. 53:42 This girl, she was, she was, 53:44 she was crying out, she is like I can't take 53:46 life anymore, there is no purpose for me, 53:47 I feel like my soul is so dark that I've no, 53:49 that I've been taken over by evil that 53:52 I there is no purpose for me that, 53:55 that my life I, I wanna end it, 53:56 but I can't, I don't if the God's too. How old? 53:58 She was, she was 18. 54:01 She is like I don't have guts 54:02 to kill myself, but she is like she, 54:04 and she was going insane, 54:05 just right in front of me she was there and, 54:06 and nothing I could say. Right. 54:09 Could nothing I could get across to her 54:12 would do anything, but I remember 54:14 going home and I'm pouring my heart 54:15 out to God for this, for this girl. 54:18 I believe the Lord's still working with her, 54:20 but it was just it impacted me 54:23 and you know, just praying for 54:24 this person. And it was just 54:26 amazing what, what the Lord 54:28 did and I was actually one day praying for her 54:31 to come to Church, and I went into her 54:33 room to wake her up 'cause she was 54:35 still sleeping, I was like hey, 54:36 you're gonna come to Church. 54:37 And, and she, she said, oh! No, 54:40 no I can't. And I just got 54:42 down on my knees and I prayed; 54:43 I prayed prayed and prayed, 54:44 and she ended up coming to Church. 54:46 And, and so it's. How is she doing now? 54:49 She is, she is still, she has improved, 54:53 she hasn't, she's gotten out of suicidal. 54:56 I believe the Lord is still working with her 54:58 and that has great plans for her, but 54:59 still pray that she'll submit to the 55:01 Lord one of these days. Your prayers are 55:03 important. It is. Okay. Raquel, 55:06 the pictures who are coming on just as 55:07 you were talking and, and I wanted to say, 55:11 what a big thing that is? 55:12 At night for you to say to the Lord, 55:17 wake me up, yes, and, and He does, 55:20 doesn't He? Yeah, yeah. He wakes you up 55:22 every morning what time? It's not, 55:24 it's not really a consistent time, 55:25 and, and there is, yes, the lately 55:27 has been very early you know, 55:29 around like 5, round the clock. 55:31 And it sounds insane, but it's wonderful 55:33 because we struggle for the time during 55:35 the day or you know, at night it's hard to 55:38 find time you know, so it's nice to get up 55:40 early fresh, yes. Aren't you finding, 55:43 aren't you finding that instead of this 55:46 being a discipline, and sometimes we 55:49 really need to go to our prayer time 55:51 as a discipline, but more than that 55:55 I think the Lord gives us a hunger 55:57 in our hearts to spend time with Him 56:00 and to just say, Lord what do you 56:02 have for me today? And He tells us 56:05 how much He loves us and how valuable 56:07 you are to Him? Yes. Isn't that true? 56:09 Yes, it is a wonderful, but I don't know every, 56:13 every morning I have something new 56:15 like I learned something new just this 56:18 past month and just the journey, 56:20 ever since the prayer conference. 56:22 God has definitely shown new things 56:25 to me and, and taught me different things 56:26 about myself and about Him and 56:30 it's just been an amazing 56:31 experience. Wow! That really is 56:33 and I will tell you this Ruthie, 56:35 that the Lord wakes me up for prayer. 56:38 And sometimes it's like 12:30, 56:41 1 O'clock and I think, wow! Lord I don't 56:44 know how I'm gonna make it tomorrow, 56:46 but you know it's amazing how he 56:48 refreshes us? That's right. Even though 56:50 we don't get as many hours of sleep 56:52 as we think we were gonna get that, that 56:56 prayer time with Him is something 57:00 that fortifies us and maybe sometimes 57:02 it doesn't need to be so structured, 57:04 we've got about 40 seconds here 57:06 until we take our break. So, 57:08 you if you want to get word to us, 57:10 you can do it, you can send out 57:13 the freeoffer@3abn.org or questions and those 57:20 are availabl live@3abn.org, 57:24 either way you can call 618-267-4651. 57:30 So, do that we'll be looking forward 57:32 to hearing from you. And we'll be looking 57:34 forward the second part of this meeting 57:37 we're gonna be having some experiences 57:40 and we're gonna get to as many of 57:41 your questions as we 57:43 possibly can. We'll be right back. |
