Now you were
talking about the young
00:00:11.50\00:00:12.79
lady that's
depressed. And I found a book
00:00:12.80\00:00:17.96
that I would highly
recommend for people
00:00:17.97\00:00:20.78
who if, anybody
that's fighting depression.
00:00:20.79\00:00:22.91
Anyone who is
discouraged or if you know
00:00:23.18\00:00:26.80
someone that is and
you wanna get a book for
00:00:26.81\00:00:29.96
them and this one somebody,
00:00:29.97\00:00:32.36
Ruthie didn't give
this to me, a mutual friend
00:00:32.50\00:00:35.30
did, but it's
written by Ruthie Jacobsen.
00:00:35.31\00:00:39.04
Well I just got
it this past week.
00:00:39.42\00:00:42.04
And I read it, I
give it to Camille I said,
00:00:42.48\00:00:45.74
honey you got to
read this. She is already
00:00:45.75\00:00:48.27
wanting to share it
with other members of our
00:00:48.28\00:00:50.43
family, Marian,
you're gonna be getting one
00:00:50.44\00:00:53.54
if you are watching
because you know I was
00:00:53.55\00:00:56.44
gonna be bringing
it to you this weekend.
00:00:56.45\00:00:58.11
So, Five Secrets
for Peace in a Storm.
00:00:58.12\00:01:02.80
And the words of a
song that have meant so
00:01:03.30\00:01:06.69
much to us, is the song
Till The Storm Passes By,
00:01:06.70\00:01:12.46
they written in the back here.
00:01:13.32\00:01:14.73
And by the way when
you get this book you
00:01:14.91\00:01:17.95
get a free download of
the music of that song.
00:01:17.96\00:01:22.54
That's done by
group Greater Vision.
00:01:23.45\00:01:26.36
Aha Gerald Wolfe, he sold to us.
00:01:26.83\00:01:28.97
Alright Gerald
Wolfe does it, and so the,
00:01:29.23\00:01:34.13
just a quick deal on
those words if you've
00:01:34.52\00:01:36.43
never heard them. In
the dark of the midnight
00:01:36.44\00:01:39.09
have I oft hid my
face, when the storm howls
00:01:39.35\00:01:43.23
above me, and
there's no hiding place.
00:01:43.24\00:01:45.54
Mid the crash of the thunder,
00:01:45.94\00:01:47.53
Precious Lord, hear
my cry; Keep me safe
00:01:47.54\00:01:51.22
till the storm passes by.
00:01:51.60\00:01:54.07
There are storms that
come to people in life,
00:01:54.35\00:01:57.68
I don't care who you
are, you will have a storm,
00:01:58.06\00:02:01.68
the chorus goes, Till
the storm passes over,
00:02:01.69\00:02:04.09
Till the thunder sounds no more,
00:02:04.45\00:02:06.53
Till the clouds roll
forever from the sky;
00:02:06.62\00:02:09.45
Hold me fast, let
me stand in the hollow
00:02:09.75\00:02:12.32
of Thy hand, Keep
me safe till the storm
00:02:12.33\00:02:15.57
passes by. Lot of
good stories in here.
00:02:15.58\00:02:19.43
There was a story in
here by Pastor Glenn Coon.
00:02:19.67\00:02:22.32
Glenn Coon was a
great friend of mine and
00:02:22.77\00:02:25.10
I loved him so very
much and I love to read
00:02:25.11\00:02:29.62
his material and
there's a very good story
00:02:29.63\00:02:31.90
in here by Glenn
Coon. Glenn Coon used to
00:02:31.91\00:02:34.44
call a good friend
of mine that worked with
00:02:34.45\00:02:36.76
me and his name,
the friend's name was
00:02:36.77\00:02:39.69
Steve Pigg. And so he
would call and when he
00:02:39.70\00:02:43.02
would answer he
would say Brother Pigg,
00:02:43.03\00:02:45.19
Brother Coon. So,
Brother Coon was talking
00:02:45.37\00:02:47.79
to Brother Pigg. And
that, I always got a kick
00:02:47.80\00:02:51.72
out of that, but
listen you will want this book
00:02:51.73\00:02:54.81
and how do you get
it, go to your ABC you
00:02:54.82\00:02:57.60
can pick it up
there. We'll put an address
00:02:57.61\00:03:00.73
for Ruthie on
before the end, Amazon.
00:03:00.74\00:03:03.25
So, amazon.com,
you can get it there.
00:03:03.26\00:03:05.40
And there are a lot of
places you can get this
00:03:05.86\00:03:08.07
book, you'll
wanna get it. Its not an
00:03:08.08\00:03:09.96
expensive book, so
it's only what 695 or
00:03:09.97\00:03:13.13
something like that.
But it's not gonna cost you
00:03:13.14\00:03:16.43
a whole lot of
money. But, it is worth it,
00:03:16.44\00:03:19.29
it will inspire
you and encourage you,
00:03:19.62\00:03:23.81
I promise you that. So,
Ruthie didn't know I was
00:03:24.08\00:03:26.88
gonna talk to you
about this book and I went
00:03:26.89\00:03:29.79
back and had them
scan it real quick,
00:03:29.80\00:03:31.69
'cause I just
wanted to let you know this
00:03:32.10\00:03:34.78
has been an encouragement to me.
00:03:34.79\00:03:37.00
This is a book I wish
I'd written, I really do,
00:03:40.15\00:03:41.12
and it is really very inspiring.
00:03:41.13\00:03:44.87
Welcome back, I know
the questions are coming,
00:03:45.18\00:03:48.25
some of them are
already starting to shuffle
00:03:48.46\00:03:51.76
in back there. And
so keep them coming,
00:03:51.77\00:03:54.69
we'll get to them. I'm
hoping we have time and
00:03:54.70\00:03:57.13
I think we will have
some time to handle some
00:03:57.14\00:03:59.81
questions. So,
please bring them on,
00:03:59.82\00:04:01.94
Ruthie, let's continue.
00:04:01.95\00:04:03.28
Well I am just
excited about hearing these
00:04:03.29\00:04:06.58
stories and what God
is doing. But, I wanted
00:04:06.59\00:04:09.86
to say as a result of
the prayer conference in
00:04:09.87\00:04:13.04
October, what
has been happening in
00:04:13.05\00:04:15.64
the lives of these young people?
00:04:15.65\00:04:17.16
Well Ruthie, God has
opened the doors for many
00:04:19.10\00:04:22.61
of these young
people to be able to go and
00:04:22.62\00:04:25.89
give their
testimonies, all over.
00:04:26.22\00:04:28.01
And as you said,
they overcome by the blood
00:04:28.07\00:04:31.61
of the lamb and the
word of their testimony
00:04:31.62\00:04:33.62
and that's what God is
allowing them to do and
00:04:34.12\00:04:36.16
of course Raquel is
one of those, that has been
00:04:36.17\00:04:38.83
able to do that both
at the North American
00:04:38.84\00:04:40.78
division year end
meetings and then again we
00:04:40.79\00:04:43.46
are blessed for her
to be able to come here.
00:04:43.47\00:04:45.31
But we'd have a
number of opportunities,
00:04:46.15\00:04:47.83
I've been taking
these young people to the
00:04:47.84\00:04:50.34
various places for
prayer conferences and
00:04:50.35\00:04:52.96
they're helping to
lead in these conferences.
00:04:52.97\00:04:55.31
And they're
doing an amazing job,
00:04:55.71\00:04:57.22
God has given me.
The young people are not
00:04:57.86\00:04:59.06
leaders of
tomorrow, no, no. They're
00:04:59.07\00:05:01.05
leaders of
today, absolutely today.
00:05:01.06\00:05:02.76
They are the
leaders of today, right.
00:05:03.01\00:05:04.68
And you know an
interesting unexpected
00:05:05.02\00:05:07.28
blessing has
happened at the Ozark Academy
00:05:07.29\00:05:10.94
Gentry
Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
00:05:11.13\00:05:12.85
Oh tell us about that.
00:05:12.92\00:05:14.03
As most Adventist
churches we have you know
00:05:14.04\00:05:17.68
a small group of
usually older people that show
00:05:17.69\00:05:20.89
up on Wednesday
night for prayer meeting.
00:05:20.90\00:05:22.53
Well since these
young people have been so
00:05:23.29\00:05:27.53
excited inspired
they've been showing up to
00:05:27.54\00:05:30.68
prayer meeting as
well, which has in turn
00:05:30.69\00:05:34.56
inspired the adults,
since that prayer conference
00:05:35.10\00:05:40.35
last October our prayer meeting
00:05:40.36\00:05:42.48
attendance has quadrupled, wow.
00:05:42.49\00:05:45.22
Because the kids are
involved, because the kids
00:05:45.61\00:05:47.53
are involved and
because the adults also want
00:05:47.54\00:05:50.62
that experience, yes.
And they've recognized that
00:05:50.63\00:05:53.70
that comes through prayer, yeah.
00:05:53.71\00:05:56.25
And that comes
through fellowship and
00:05:56.26\00:05:58.22
prayer together
because that's how we
00:05:58.32\00:06:00.49
encourage one
another, that's right.
00:06:00.50\00:06:02.32
You know I wanna ask
these kids some questions,
00:06:03.18\00:06:05.37
Raquel, tell us
where are you from,
00:06:05.38\00:06:08.82
tell us a little bit
about your background,
00:06:09.40\00:06:11.01
would you? Tell
us about yourself?
00:06:11.02\00:06:12.91
Okay. I'm from
Killeen, Texas, alright.
00:06:13.12\00:06:16.67
I was born and raised there,
00:06:16.68\00:06:18.44
I grew up Adventist and.
00:06:19.60\00:06:22.32
Now Killeen, is a
big army base there, it's
00:06:24.11\00:06:26.62
next to Fort Hood,
okay, this is smaller town.
00:06:26.63\00:06:29.15
And there is real
nice church there and a
00:06:29.63\00:06:31.40
hospital not too
far away. Yes, yes,
00:06:31.41\00:06:33.53
Metroplex
Adventist Hospital, right.
00:06:33.54\00:06:35.22
So you went to
school, an Adventist
00:06:35.23\00:06:37.33
school or Public School?
00:06:37.34\00:06:38.36
I went to school at a
Church school and I've
00:06:38.37\00:06:39.42
been in private
education all my life,
00:06:39.43\00:06:41.51
all of your
life? Yes all my life.
00:06:41.52\00:06:42.89
Were your folks
involved in anyway with the
00:06:43.01\00:06:46.37
military? No,
they're involved with medical
00:06:46.38\00:06:49.25
works? My mom is a physician.
00:06:49.26\00:06:50.97
Your mom is a
physician, yeah, well alright.
00:06:50.98\00:06:53.47
And so go ahead and,
I didn't mean interrupt
00:06:53.87\00:06:56.59
you, just want to get
some of those questions.
00:06:56.60\00:06:58.57
Oh no I'm. What are
you playing to do in life?
00:06:58.67\00:07:02.63
Have you prayed about that? Yes.
00:07:02.64\00:07:04.19
I've planned to, I'm
a senior so I've planned
00:07:04.20\00:07:06.22
to go to Oakwood
University next year and
00:07:06.23\00:07:08.65
study nursing.
Okay. By God's grace and
00:07:08.66\00:07:12.53
continue to, I guess
the medical kind of stuck
00:07:12.54\00:07:15.61
to me my mom she
kind of rubbed off on me
00:07:15.62\00:07:17.86
in medicine. But,
growing up she is always
00:07:17.87\00:07:20.75
been a strong
spiritual influence on my life,
00:07:20.76\00:07:23.38
yes. She is such a
good spiritual foundation,
00:07:23.39\00:07:27.47
she has carried me
and my two older bothers,
00:07:27.48\00:07:30.80
okay. Like she is
just, I don't know I think
00:07:31.09\00:07:33.71
that's where I get
my, yeah, that's my
00:07:33.72\00:07:37.02
inspiration, exactly.
She must be excited to
00:07:37.03\00:07:41.52
see what you, how
you have grown in the
00:07:41.53\00:07:45.42
last few months.
You know Raquel you are
00:07:45.43\00:07:47.06
going to Oakwood
University last Thursday
00:07:47.07\00:07:49.83
night we had another
exciting program here.
00:07:49.84\00:07:54.26
We had the young
people form Oakwood that
00:07:54.63\00:07:56.30
are involved with
NAPS, the National
00:07:56.31\00:07:58.83
Association for
Prevention of Starvation.
00:07:58.84\00:08:01.35
Yes. I believe you
will be back here as a NAPS
00:08:01.86\00:08:05.79
member one of
these days. My brother is
00:08:05.80\00:08:07.20
actually a NAPS
member. Is he in NAPS?
00:08:07.21\00:08:09.33
Yes, yes he is. He
wasn't here last week
00:08:09.48\00:08:10.86
even though, no, no.
But, he was definitely
00:08:10.87\00:08:12.96
a part of that.
Okay. Went to Africa with
00:08:12.97\00:08:14.67
them on a mission
trip. Oh yes, alright.
00:08:14.68\00:08:16.97
Well I didn't miss
my guess then too far.
00:08:17.21\00:08:20.41
And Obadiah, tell us
little bit about yourself,
00:08:21.26\00:08:23.72
sure where are you
from your mom and so
00:08:23.73\00:08:26.09
forth. Well my mom
and dad is Wayne and
00:08:26.10\00:08:29.02
Laura Wright, I was
born in West Virginia,
00:08:29.03\00:08:32.27
moved to Oklahoma.
Experienced you know
00:08:32.46\00:08:35.98
the warnings of
tornadoes, oh yeah,
00:08:35.99\00:08:38.35
and the things
there and then moved to
00:08:38.36\00:08:41.13
North Carolina where
I've been ever since for
00:08:41.14\00:08:43.50
about eight years
and grew up in the
00:08:43.51\00:08:46.88
elementary school
there. I went to the
00:08:46.89\00:08:50.49
academy; I've been
there for three years
00:08:50.50\00:08:51.86
Fletcher Academy. I
work over there in the
00:08:51.87\00:08:54.98
retirement home for
the elderly in the kitchen
00:08:54.99\00:08:57.73
Fletcher Park Inn, a
great place, great people
00:08:58.03\00:09:00.89
and I've really, I
enjoyed my teachers,
00:09:00.90\00:09:05.45
they're really
loving, caring and also just
00:09:05.46\00:09:11.15
being able to be in
an environment, in an
00:09:11.16\00:09:13.96
atmosphere really
around there whether there
00:09:13.97\00:09:15.92
is strong Adventist
community, it's really
00:09:15.93\00:09:18.48
helped and it's great.
He has an influence too,
00:09:18.49\00:09:21.80
okay, at the academy
and in his local churches,
00:09:22.27\00:09:26.28
one of the pastors
said to me you need to
00:09:26.34\00:09:28.55
meet Obadiah, alright.
He said that kid is going
00:09:28.56\00:09:31.96
somewhere. Is he
said that huh? Yeah.
00:09:31.97\00:09:34.27
Wow. I wanna when I
graduated I would like to
00:09:34.74\00:09:38.35
go evangelistic school;
evangelism is my passion,
00:09:38.36\00:09:40.80
okay. To spread the
name of Jesus wherever
00:09:41.07\00:09:42.45
I can and then I
would like to hopefully
00:09:42.46\00:09:45.28
become, whether it be
a minister or a chaplain
00:09:45.29\00:09:48.65
at a school.
Wherever the Lord calls me to
00:09:48.66\00:09:52.06
spread the name of
Jesus is where I wanna go.
00:09:52.45\00:09:54.28
Alright. Well that is
the goal of anyone who's
00:09:54.49\00:10:01.25
really born again
whether they're mechanic or
00:10:01.26\00:10:04.69
whether they're
a business person,
00:10:04.70\00:10:06.26
whether they're in
the medical field whatever
00:10:06.54\00:10:08.71
it's to spread the
word of Jesus. Well listen,
00:10:08.78\00:10:11.91
let's listen again to
the Parishes sing for us
00:10:11.92\00:10:15.66
and they're going to do
00:10:16.06\00:10:17.15
the song "How Beautiful."
00:10:17.16\00:10:19.28
How beautiful
the hands that served
00:10:35.69\00:10:42.33
the wine and the bread
00:10:42.60\00:10:45.70
and the sons of the earth.
00:10:46.00\00:10:49.55
How beautiful
the feet that walked?
00:10:49.98\00:10:56.37
the long dusty roads
00:10:56.62\00:10:59.65
and the hills to the cross.
00:11:00.00\00:11:03.70
How beautiful How beautiful
00:11:04.69\00:11:16.87
How beautiful is
the body of Christ.
00:11:17.28\00:11:28.05
How beautiful
the heart that bled
00:11:31.21\00:11:38.28
that took all my
sin and bore it instead.
00:11:38.29\00:11:45.85
How beautiful the tender eyes
00:11:46.26\00:11:52.17
that chose to
forgive and never despise.
00:11:52.50\00:11:59.88
How beautiful How beautiful
00:12:00.43\00:12:12.93
How beautiful is
the body of Christ.
00:12:13.23\00:12:22.08
And as He laid down His life
00:12:22.42\00:12:29.11
we offer this sacrifice
00:12:29.48\00:12:36.27
That we will
live just as He died:
00:12:36.56\00:12:42.87
Willing to pay the price
00:12:43.37\00:12:49.93
Willing to pay the price.
00:12:50.30\00:12:57.49
How beautiful the radiant Bride
00:12:58.85\00:13:05.71
Who waits for her Groom
00:13:06.06\00:13:09.04
With His light in her eyes.
00:13:09.28\00:13:13.07
How beautiful
when humble hearts give
00:13:13.66\00:13:19.74
The fruit of pure lives
So that others may live.
00:13:19.96\00:13:27.17
How beautiful How beautiful
00:13:27.68\00:13:40.26
How beautiful is
the body of Christ.
00:13:40.60\00:13:55.12
How beautiful
the feet that bring
00:13:55.64\00:14:01.46
The sound of good news
And the love of the King.
00:14:01.87\00:14:08.99
How beautiful
the hands that serve
00:14:09.53\00:14:15.53
The wine and the bread
And the sons of the earth.
00:14:15.82\00:14:23.03
How beautiful How beautiful.
00:14:23.80\00:14:36.27
How beautiful is
the body of Christ
00:14:36.50\00:14:47.67
How beautiful.
00:14:54.06\00:15:00.66
Wow well that's a
beautiful song and
00:15:04.44\00:15:06.40
while we were listing to that,
00:15:06.41\00:15:08.63
Oby, what did you say?
00:15:10.17\00:15:11.60
I was just thinking
how you know its music
00:15:11.67\00:15:14.82
that softens the
heart and prepares the
00:15:14.83\00:15:17.55
heart to receive the
message and without the
00:15:17.56\00:15:21.41
music I think that walls
would still be built up in
00:15:21.42\00:15:24.66
people's hearts, yeah,
against receiving Jesus
00:15:24.67\00:15:27.53
and. Right, I agree,
well here is one that is
00:15:27.54\00:15:32.50
personally for you,
it's not one that I should be
00:15:32.67\00:15:35.05
read over the air,
but someone is talking
00:15:35.06\00:15:39.93
about it's a
grandfather or your grandmother
00:15:39.94\00:15:44.44
I guess, that is
concerned about a grandson
00:15:44.45\00:15:50.23
of theirs at Fletcher
and they want you to pray
00:15:50.24\00:15:54.55
for him, because he
is having some struggles,
00:15:54.62\00:15:56.46
I will. So, I will just
pass that along to you and
00:15:56.73\00:15:59.74
you and some of
the students there can
00:16:00.23\00:16:02.80
quietly begin to
pray and encourage him.
00:16:02.81\00:16:05.52
He is discouraged and
he needs encouragement
00:16:05.90\00:16:08.73
right now. Another
for to Oby, it's says
00:16:08.74\00:16:13.09
Fletcher Academy
says hello we are watching
00:16:13.36\00:16:16.07
you at night and then
here is one that's says,
00:16:16.08\00:16:19.99
I went to Union
College about 1949 that was
00:16:20.62\00:16:23.94
back before they had
hair, now it says we had
00:16:24.39\00:16:28.18
a week of prayer and
we had a response like
00:16:28.19\00:16:31.63
what you're talking
about. You know some of
00:16:31.64\00:16:34.65
us had been through
weeks of prayer that
00:16:34.66\00:16:38.74
were like that, yes.
And the life changing, yes,
00:16:38.75\00:16:44.21
they can be life
changing and some of us made
00:16:44.23\00:16:46.79
decisions, that's right,
like that, that have been
00:16:46.80\00:16:49.34
life long decisions. It
says we were on fire for
00:16:49.35\00:16:52.23
the Lord but now here
is comes the statement,
00:16:52.24\00:16:55.19
it says then after the
weekend was over one of
00:16:55.20\00:16:57.31
the teachers said
okay weekend prayer is over
00:16:57.32\00:16:59.63
now back to real life.
Please don't tell any of
00:16:59.86\00:17:03.17
your students that
and I agree with that
00:17:03.18\00:17:06.53
statement.
Unfortunately that teacher made
00:17:06.54\00:17:09.88
a big mistake, what
they were probably talking
00:17:09.89\00:17:12.36
about, we used up
on your assignments now
00:17:12.37\00:17:15.43
that's over and
we are gonna come
00:17:15.44\00:17:17.28
through to end. And
try to see what we can.
00:17:17.29\00:17:21.09
On the other side of
the scale I think it was
00:17:21.26\00:17:25.46
back in 1995 we had
our first prayer conference
00:17:25.47\00:17:28.98
at Ozark Academy, that's right.
00:17:29.09\00:17:30.72
And a friend of
ours, Jim Moon who is a
00:17:30.78\00:17:33.76
very successful
pastor now in Colorado just
00:17:33.77\00:17:38.65
doing all kinds of
things in the community,
00:17:38.66\00:17:40.59
God is really
blessing that, yes.
00:17:40.60\00:17:43.10
I want to say kid,
he's really not a kid,
00:17:43.19\00:17:45.07
but he is a young
man. He said that at the
00:17:45.70\00:17:48.23
Ozark Teen Prayer
Conference back in 1995
00:17:48.24\00:17:51.70
is when the Lord
really spoke to his heart
00:17:52.09\00:17:54.82
about taking the
ministry. Right, right.
00:17:55.01\00:17:57.61
He said he'd been
fighting it, he didn't think
00:17:57.62\00:17:59.35
he should do that
but he said, it just came
00:18:00.06\00:18:03.32
through to him loud
and clear at that prayer
00:18:03.33\00:18:05.53
conference. I'd like to
speak to this very issue
00:18:05.54\00:18:09.57
we recognized this
past year the importance
00:18:10.20\00:18:15.71
of the adults
encouraging, yeah, and
00:18:15.89\00:18:19.30
mentoring these
young people because we
00:18:19.45\00:18:22.60
so often tend to look
at them and think they
00:18:22.61\00:18:27.05
don't have any
serious thoughts about God.
00:18:27.06\00:18:29.72
But, that is not true,
yeah. And God is really
00:18:30.05\00:18:33.99
wanting an army of
youth to be able to finish
00:18:34.00\00:18:38.79
the work. And our
role in that army of youth
00:18:38.80\00:18:42.90
is to mentor,
encourage them and never to
00:18:43.05\00:18:46.93
discourage them. We
have one person asking
00:18:46.94\00:18:50.72
here if we ever have
payer conferences for
00:18:50.73\00:18:54.11
adults. All the
time. And this person wants
00:18:54.12\00:18:57.29
to know would you
do one in Indiana,
00:18:57.30\00:18:59.23
or do you have
any plan in Indiana?
00:18:59.24\00:19:01.06
Yes, and we have
a prayer conference
00:19:02.05\00:19:04.07
coordinator in
Indiana, and I think she has had
00:19:04.63\00:19:08.96
some smaller once
but Cathy did you hear
00:19:08.97\00:19:11.76
that? Aright.
She'll start planning one,
00:19:11.77\00:19:14.47
she will start
planning, and we'll work with
00:19:14.48\00:19:15.45
her we'll encourage
her. Alright. And then they
00:19:15.46\00:19:17.72
had one other
question were there any
00:19:17.73\00:19:19.77
non-Adventist teams
involved in any of these
00:19:19.78\00:19:23.57
team prayer
conference and if so what effect
00:19:23.58\00:19:26.47
did it have on them?
You know we've really
00:19:26.48\00:19:28.78
trying to encourage
our teenagers to invite
00:19:28.79\00:19:33.56
their friends, because
most of these kids have
00:19:33.57\00:19:36.57
non-Adventist friends.
And there were probably
00:19:36.58\00:19:39.52
a number of kids that
have not been baptized.
00:19:39.91\00:19:43.63
And that was a big part
of that result of the 50
00:19:44.98\00:19:48.85
baptisms and so
even though they may have
00:19:48.86\00:19:52.16
been in Adventist
homes, or even in Adventist
00:19:52.17\00:19:55.76
schools they had not
yet made their decision
00:19:55.77\00:19:57.89
for Christ. And that's
the goal. I love the story
00:19:57.90\00:20:02.04
that these kids
were out in the community
00:20:02.89\00:20:05.16
prayer walking, yes
and they saw this young
00:20:05.17\00:20:09.10
man getting his,
come out of his house,
00:20:09.11\00:20:10.96
getting his car and he
wasn't, he didn't turn on
00:20:10.97\00:20:14.80
the motor and back
out of the drive way.
00:20:14.81\00:20:18.48
And so they went
over to his car, and they
00:20:18.58\00:20:20.85
tapped on his window
and he said what's going
00:20:20.86\00:20:23.44
on? And they said
well we're just, they
00:20:23.45\00:20:25.09
introduced themselves,
we're just out prayer
00:20:25.10\00:20:27.54
walking and he said
what? And they said we
00:20:27.55\00:20:30.87
are just praying for
people in the community,
00:20:30.88\00:20:33.58
can we pray for you?
You know a lot of viewers
00:20:34.28\00:20:36.03
are probably saying
what, what is prayer
00:20:36.04\00:20:37.98
walking? Well prayer
walking is just two or
00:20:37.99\00:20:40.63
three people walking
down the street you can
00:20:40.64\00:20:43.53
do this in your home too, yeah.
00:20:43.54\00:20:45.02
You can do it in the
church, but you are just
00:20:45.18\00:20:47.70
walking one
person prays out loud,
00:20:47.71\00:20:50.37
and one person, the
other person prays silently.
00:20:50.88\00:20:53.39
But, it's a powerful
experience, because you're
00:20:53.91\00:20:56.91
praying for the
people whether you see them
00:20:56.92\00:20:58.71
or not. Just praying
for the people in this
00:20:58.72\00:21:00.77
house or that
house and, that's right,
00:21:00.78\00:21:01.99
that's right. We don't
know what their problems
00:21:02.41\00:21:04.09
are but God does but
you're just praying for
00:21:04.10\00:21:06.19
them. If you're
going by a high school you
00:21:06.20\00:21:08.68
pray for the
problems that are there, yeah,
00:21:08.69\00:21:11.09
the sex, the
violence, the drugs, right,
00:21:11.10\00:21:13.70
the problems. If
you're going by a tavern you
00:21:13.71\00:21:16.49
pray for the people
whose lives are destroyed
00:21:16.50\00:21:19.50
by alcohol, yes, yes.
And if you are going by
00:21:19.51\00:21:22.92
a police station you
pray for them for their
00:21:22.93\00:21:24.94
safety for wisdom and
for their success, yeah.
00:21:24.95\00:21:28.37
And wherever you are
the Lord puts the prayer
00:21:28.81\00:21:31.05
in your heart, and
people sometimes say well
00:21:31.06\00:21:33.82
couldn't I just
stay home and pray.
00:21:33.83\00:21:35.69
Well yeah you can, but
it's not the same as if
00:21:35.98\00:21:39.11
you're out there on
that turf, some about isn't
00:21:39.12\00:21:41.91
it? And the Lord puts
the prayer and the concerns
00:21:41.92\00:21:44.89
of those people. So,
they knocked on the window,
00:21:44.90\00:21:46.36
they did, and what
happened? And he said
00:21:46.37\00:21:48.44
so you're out prayer walking?
00:21:48.90\00:21:50.91
And they said yes
could we pray for you?
00:21:51.42\00:21:53.13
And he said sure. So
they'd prayed for him and
00:21:53.69\00:21:57.60
then they invited
him to come to the Teen
00:21:57.61\00:21:59.96
Prayer Conference,
okay, at the Gentry Church,
00:21:59.97\00:22:02.87
he came. Is that a
fact? And while they were
00:22:03.24\00:22:05.81
giving their testimonies
he came up and he said
00:22:05.82\00:22:08.92
do you know I just
had the most wonderful
00:22:09.26\00:22:11.06
experience with
these two guys coming and
00:22:11.07\00:22:13.99
praying for me, wow,
and now to be here in
00:22:14.00\00:22:17.39
this group and to
hear these testimonies and
00:22:17.40\00:22:19.58
to see how God is
working, I just think we
00:22:19.59\00:22:21.90
ought to do
this city wide, yeah.
00:22:21.91\00:22:24.18
I think all the
churches are to be coming
00:22:24.24\00:22:26.04
together praying
for one another, yeah.
00:22:26.05\00:22:28.07
And you feel it when
somebody is praying for
00:22:28.16\00:22:29.75
you, you know, you
can sense a sense of peace
00:22:29.76\00:22:32.69
about you that
somebody, wow, somebody
00:22:32.93\00:22:35.07
is praying me or, wow, you know.
00:22:35.08\00:22:36.85
Amen, Marian, I
wanted to say, you started to
00:22:36.86\00:22:39.58
say something. Well I
was just gonna to further
00:22:39.59\00:22:42.16
expand this story
on this young man,
00:22:42.57\00:22:44.50
I don't know whether
we mention or not but
00:22:45.46\00:22:47.77
the baptisms finally
ended at 3 O'clock in the
00:22:47.78\00:22:50.02
morning, wow. And as
it turned out that was
00:22:50.03\00:22:52.74
Halloween morning,
wow. And we took that
00:22:52.75\00:22:55.58
holiday back from the
devil, amen, amen, amen.
00:22:55.59\00:22:58.53
And this young man
actually he and I were the
00:22:58.54\00:23:01.90
last two to leave the
church. And as we were
00:23:01.91\00:23:04.80
walking out and he
was sharing with me how
00:23:04.81\00:23:07.48
blessed he was, he
picked up a catalog from
00:23:08.10\00:23:12.12
Southwestern
Adventist University and he said
00:23:12.81\00:23:14.89
do you think it be
alright if I took this?
00:23:14.90\00:23:16.97
I said oh yes, that be
just great, absolutely.
00:23:17.23\00:23:19.80
Fine young man, a
Christian young man and
00:23:20.50\00:23:23.49
you know so as far
as non-Adventists are
00:23:23.92\00:23:25.83
concerned he came he
didn't intend to come
00:23:25.84\00:23:29.01
to the prayer
conference, but he ended up
00:23:29.02\00:23:31.26
because you know these
]kids even want to step
00:23:31.57\00:23:33.58
further within
prayer walking. They knocked
00:23:33.59\00:23:35.82
on the doors and said
who they were and said
00:23:35.83\00:23:38.79
can we pray for you
as there's something that
00:23:40.05\00:23:41.94
you would like us
pray for us, alright.
00:23:41.95\00:23:43.79
And they were
Adventists or former Adventists
00:23:43.98\00:23:47.19
that opened their doors
and they started calling
00:23:47.62\00:23:50.39
their friends and said
do you know who just came
00:23:50.40\00:23:52.48
by, and prayed for
me? It was kids from that
00:23:52.49\00:23:55.85
prayer conference.
You know something you
00:23:55.86\00:23:58.13
talked about saying
you have something that
00:23:58.14\00:24:01.19
you want us to pray
for us. Camille and I,
00:24:01.38\00:24:04.14
your wife we were in Hiawassee,
00:24:04.15\00:24:06.86
Georgia and we went
to eat with two friends.
00:24:06.87\00:24:10.71
And it was Don
and Ruthie Jacobsen.
00:24:11.81\00:24:13.96
And as we gathered
to have the meal and Don
00:24:14.44\00:24:18.64
was picking up the
checks, I felt so good
00:24:18.65\00:24:20.71
about going out.
But, but anyway as we
00:24:20.72\00:24:24.31
gathered around the
table the waitress came
00:24:24.32\00:24:27.96
up and then Don said
to her we're getting ready
00:24:27.97\00:24:31.50
to have the blessing.
We would like to invite you
00:24:31.51\00:24:33.68
to join us, and do
you have anything that you
00:24:33.69\00:24:37.16
would like for us
to pray for? Amen.
00:24:37.17\00:24:39.39
And you know she
did. She had a couple of
00:24:39.40\00:24:41.90
requests, things that
were happening in her life,
00:24:41.91\00:24:44.34
things that she had
need for with her husband.
00:24:44.64\00:24:47.01
And she poured out
her heart there and then
00:24:47.30\00:24:51.09
Don led us in prayer I
will tell you something,
00:24:51.10\00:24:54.73
the whole different
atmosphere for that meal,
00:24:55.17\00:24:58.68
and for that
waitress, amen, just from
00:24:59.01\00:25:02.26
asking her
including her in the prayer.
00:25:02.70\00:25:05.48
You know so many
times in the restaurant we
00:25:05.87\00:25:07.33
kind of just wanna
bow our heads and say
00:25:07.34\00:25:10.86
amen you know
and that's about it.
00:25:11.54\00:25:14.76
I even have a friend
who doesn't even do that,
00:25:15.39\00:25:17.87
he just simply says
to everybody, are we all
00:25:17.88\00:25:20.01
thankful for
this food? And we say,
00:25:20.02\00:25:22.54
yes we are, well
Lord you heard us,
00:25:22.55\00:25:24.36
we're thankful, amen.
And that mean you never
00:25:24.49\00:25:26.91
it has a position of
praying, you know and I'm
00:25:28.15\00:25:30.69
not criticizing that.
And I'm saying if that's his
00:25:30.70\00:25:33.17
way of praying,
okay. But Don made this a
00:25:33.18\00:25:36.99
spiritual event for
the full time of us.
00:25:37.00\00:25:40.76
He often does that,
yeah, and I don't think
00:25:40.77\00:25:43.58
we've ever had
anyone refuse, I bet you
00:25:43.59\00:25:46.75
haven't? No one has
ever said no I don't have
00:25:46.76\00:25:50.03
any reason to have
you praying for me.
00:25:50.04\00:25:51.84
It maybe the first
time anyone's every prayed
00:25:51.85\00:25:54.45
for them, yeah. And
i moved that girl, I'll
00:25:54.46\00:25:57.87
tell you. In our
little town I think so, in our
00:25:57.88\00:25:59.69
little town we are
in the Bible belt, yes.
00:25:59.70\00:26:02.68
And it is more common
to see people bow their
00:26:02.92\00:26:06.30
heads and pray and
thank God for the food
00:26:06.31\00:26:08.72
they're not. Now in
some cities that's not true,
00:26:08.90\00:26:12.02
but in our area people
just do that as a common
00:26:12.72\00:26:16.13
thing. Alright now
here's one more question here,
00:26:16.14\00:26:19.34
it says please
announce the name of Ruthie
00:26:19.35\00:26:23.34
Jacobsen's book
again. So, I'm gonna do it,
00:26:23.35\00:26:26.37
here it is 5 Secrets
for Peace in a Storm,
00:26:26.77\00:26:31.00
5 Secrets for Peace in a Storm.
00:26:31.59\00:26:33.68
Well write it down,
go to your ABC to more if
00:26:33.69\00:26:36.28
you have wanted
post by and tell them,
00:26:36.29\00:26:38.00
I want this book
if they don't have it,
00:26:38.24\00:26:40.13
tell them get it
right away and you'll be
00:26:40.26\00:26:43.04
wanting to get
some for some friends.
00:26:43.05\00:26:44.75
Because it is, listen
I'm not hawk in a book,
00:26:44.76\00:26:48.23
they didn't even know
I was gonna talk about
00:26:48.30\00:26:50.04
this book tonight. I'm
just telling you this meant
00:26:50.05\00:26:52.94
so much to me
this week. I read it,
00:26:53.07\00:26:56.62
I read it in one
sitting and it's an easy read,
00:26:57.26\00:27:01.39
it's an easy read and
Camille read it and it
00:27:01.40\00:27:05.27
encouraged both of
us. You know there are
00:27:05.28\00:27:07.66
a lot of times folks,
you have storms it maybe
00:27:07.67\00:27:09.86
even a spiritual storm.
The devil is always doing
00:27:09.87\00:27:13.58
what he can to
create a storm at 3ABN.
00:27:13.59\00:27:16.65
You know something
the Lord is so much more
00:27:17.01\00:27:18.88
powerful, these storms
are just, they just push
00:27:18.89\00:27:22.27
away and it's every
time there's a storm the
00:27:22.28\00:27:25.57
Gospel goes out in a
greater way than every
00:27:25.58\00:27:28.27
before. One soul
dedicated to Christ can
00:27:28.28\00:27:31.05
conquer all the
powers of darkness combined,
00:27:31.06\00:27:33.28
amen, it's
amazing. Amen. Well you know
00:27:33.29\00:27:35.21
somebody told me
they said as long as we're
00:27:35.35\00:27:39.10
on planet earth,
we're either in a storm or
00:27:39.11\00:27:42.70
we're going into one
or we're coming out of
00:27:42.71\00:27:44.68
one. Yeah. Because
there are just so many
00:27:44.69\00:27:47.89
things happening,
the things, the disasters
00:27:47.90\00:27:51.18
and the earthquakes,
the wars, the horrible
00:27:51.40\00:27:56.45
things that are
happening now used to be
00:27:56.46\00:27:58.57
once every 50 years,
or once every 10 years,
00:27:58.58\00:28:02.12
now it's almost every day, yeah.
00:28:02.13\00:28:03.79
And people are
hurting for lots and lots of
00:28:04.41\00:28:06.82
reason, yes. Marian,
now I come back to you,
00:28:06.83\00:28:09.62
because you came up
with a creative idea of
00:28:09.86\00:28:13.64
a 40 and I think
we have some graphics,
00:28:13.65\00:28:17.92
you sent some photos
I would like to have us
00:28:17.98\00:28:20.40
see those, you got a
big clock and you let
00:28:20.77\00:28:24.10
people sign up, okay
here is on the screen you
00:28:24.11\00:28:27.31
can see this. Forty
hour fast and pray vigil,
00:28:27.32\00:28:30.63
tell you us about
that. Actually Ruthie,
00:28:31.02\00:28:32.43
I can't take credit
for that, our pastor at
00:28:32.44\00:28:35.11
Gentry, Pastor Ray
House, he camp up with
00:28:35.12\00:28:38.45
this idea and then
he just said, how about,
00:28:38.46\00:28:41.95
now here is the
table, making a clock,
00:28:41.96\00:28:43.46
here is the table,
this is a roundtable and
00:28:43.63\00:28:46.01
people could come and sign up.
00:28:46.02\00:28:47.46
They could come up
and we put the every
00:28:48.17\00:28:51.25
hour for 40 hours on this table.
00:28:51.26\00:28:54.09
And then
encourage people to come and
00:28:54.69\00:28:57.99
commit to pray for
an hour. Do they come to
00:28:58.19\00:29:01.55
church and pray?
Well sometimes they did,
00:29:01.56\00:29:04.66
but we did during
the middle of the night,
00:29:04.76\00:29:06.73
allow people to
stay home and pray.
00:29:07.33\00:29:09.09
And we had every hour
of that 40 hours filled
00:29:09.52\00:29:13.75
and many of the
hours we're with a lot of
00:29:13.76\00:29:15.73
people, not just one,
yes. But, I've heard so
00:29:15.74\00:29:18.88
many testimonies and I
myself was tremendously
00:29:18.89\00:29:22.80
blessed. I took the
midnight hour, I just,
00:29:22.81\00:29:26.55
they were empty and I
thought well I can take
00:29:26.85\00:29:29.05
those. And I spend
that first hour on Friday
00:29:29.06\00:29:32.67
night and it was a
week ago, tomorrow that
00:29:32.68\00:29:36.15
we had this 40 hours
and God blessed so much.
00:29:36.62\00:29:41.08
You started on the Friday night?
00:29:41.09\00:29:42.06
We started on
Friday at 5 O'clock,
00:29:42.07\00:29:45.28
and it went until
Sunday morning at 9 O'clock.
00:29:45.76\00:29:48.63
And we ended the
40 hours with an Agape
00:29:49.11\00:29:51.79
Breakfast. The
fellowship was so sweet,
00:29:51.80\00:29:54.70
isn't that
beautiful? And you know some
00:29:54.71\00:29:57.19
amazing things
happened, this was not just to
00:29:57.20\00:29:59.62
see if we could
fill up the 40 hours, no.
00:29:59.63\00:30:01.91
There was a purpose in
this, first of all we have
00:30:02.19\00:30:05.63
many people who one
time came to church and
00:30:05.64\00:30:09.78
we're part of our
fellowship who no longer
00:30:09.79\00:30:12.18
walk with us. And
our burden has been to
00:30:12.19\00:30:15.59
reclaim those who no
longer worship with us.
00:30:15.60\00:30:19.43
And then there was
another focus and that
00:30:20.08\00:30:22.50
was in a couple of
weeks well that actually
00:30:22.51\00:30:25.01
beginning April 22
we're having Lay-evangelism
00:30:25.02\00:30:28.97
ShareHim meetings.
And there will be five
00:30:28.98\00:30:32.42
including one group
of young people from
00:30:32.51\00:30:35.50
Ozark Academy,
some of those have just
00:30:35.51\00:30:38.34
returned this week
from the Philippines and
00:30:38.35\00:30:42.12
did ShareHim
evangelism in the Philippines,
00:30:42.74\00:30:45.04
they're fired up, they
are ready to keep going.
00:30:45.39\00:30:48.99
What was the result?
The results of the 40
00:30:49.22\00:30:53.04
hours people have
come back into church that
00:30:53.05\00:30:57.04
we have not seen in
years. No. And besides
00:30:57.05\00:30:59.91
that other thing,
what was the result of the
00:30:59.92\00:31:02.59
Philippines. The
Philippines. Well maybe
00:31:02.60\00:31:05.39
Raquel could answer
that better than I could?
00:31:05.40\00:31:07.92
Oh no, I didn't, but
one of my friends her name
00:31:07.93\00:31:11.77
was Honey she went
and I happened to be in
00:31:11.78\00:31:14.83
her room with when
another girl was in there
00:31:14.84\00:31:17.95
as well my friend
Natalie and they were
00:31:17.96\00:31:19.83
talking and Natalie was
like listen, listen come
00:31:19.84\00:31:22.97
here, come here and
you know she is Honey
00:31:22.98\00:31:24.58
so fired up, she is so
fired up. And Natalie was
00:31:24.59\00:31:28.38
so excited because it
incited the, the passion
00:31:28.39\00:31:32.25
and desire that she
felt during the prayer
00:31:32.26\00:31:34.00
conference. And she
was just so encouraged
00:31:34.01\00:31:36.26
by Honey's fire and
passion that she had
00:31:36.27\00:31:39.35
came back from
the Philippines with,
00:31:39.36\00:31:40.94
that she wanted to
fill that way again and she
00:31:41.10\00:31:43.08
just knew that
passion and that fire,
00:31:43.09\00:31:45.84
she was so
encouraged. You know these
00:31:45.85\00:31:48.15
ShareHim
meetings are so fantastic.
00:31:48.16\00:31:51.72
Pastor Bob
Folkenberg has put together a
00:31:52.18\00:31:54.53
ministry that has
impacted the world for
00:31:54.54\00:31:58.01
Christ. And you're

00:32:39.37\00:32:42.63

any question about it,
00:32:42.64\00:32:44.69

ShareHim and go on the Internet

attend that

00:32:54.96\00:32:57.19
meetings are bathed
in prayer. Oh, yes they
00:32:57.20\00:32:59.39
are, absolutely,
absolutely. And you
00:32:59.40\00:33:01.85
went to Africa. Yes,

00:33:01.86\00:33:06.18
to be able to go
first to Tanzania in 2009.
00:33:06.19\00:33:10.52
And then or 2008
rather and then in 2009 I
00:33:11.03\00:33:15.40
was able to go to
Zambia. And I'll tell you it
00:33:15.41\00:33:17.84
gets in your blood,
and I'm looking forward
00:33:17.85\00:33:21.04

meetings I'll be one of the
00:33:21.11\00:33:24.23
speakers there at
Gentry. Okay. Alright.
00:33:24.24\00:33:26.92
Well listen this
is one more statement,
00:33:27.44\00:33:30.90
it's not a request,
it's not a question but it's
00:33:31.06\00:33:34.71
a message for Raquel.
It says the girl's dorm
00:33:34.72\00:33:38.00
at Ozark Adventist
Academy is watching and
00:33:38.01\00:33:41.02
praying for
you. Praise the Lord.
00:33:41.24\00:33:42.50
We love you Raquel.
So, they just want to
00:33:42.51\00:33:45.88
let you know, we
do too, that's right.
00:33:45.89\00:33:47.44
Now do you know
anything about this,
00:33:48.97\00:33:50.58
this is, it was a
question that came in or
00:33:50.59\00:33:53.28
a statement, is
there a world day of prayer
00:33:53.29\00:33:56.46
coming up that you know about,
00:33:56.47\00:33:58.32
every Sabbath is
a good day to pray.
00:33:58.95\00:34:01.44
And any time you're
thinking about that,
00:34:01.75\00:34:05.51
they talking about
this 40 hour, yes, a lot of
00:34:05.71\00:34:09.10
us have been
involved in 24 hour prayer and
00:34:09.11\00:34:11.84
we have seen miracles
take place in a 24 hour,
00:34:11.85\00:34:16.99
we usually would
start sometime like on
00:34:17.84\00:34:20.33
Friday and go all
night long until noon on
00:34:20.45\00:34:23.92
Sabbath, that's
right. And we've just seen
00:34:23.93\00:34:26.51
miracles take
place at one church,
00:34:26.52\00:34:28.70
just give you quick
story but the show how
00:34:29.72\00:34:32.18
revival can
happen. There were two men
00:34:32.78\00:34:36.59
Adventists had been
in business together,
00:34:37.01\00:34:38.79
and they fell out.
It was a horrible thing,
00:34:39.14\00:34:42.26
it split that
church some sided with one
00:34:42.27\00:34:44.99
family other sided
with the other family.
00:34:45.00\00:34:47.28
It kept that church
from having the power of
00:34:47.59\00:34:51.40
the Holy Spirit,
there was no question.
00:34:51.41\00:34:53.79
And so the prayer
vigil was organized and
00:34:54.23\00:34:58.83
unbeknownst, these
two men, these two men
00:34:59.68\00:35:02.13
were not speaking to
each other, they would
00:35:02.14\00:35:03.65
have nothing to
do with each other.
00:35:03.66\00:35:05.22
Somehow the Lord did
not let them see that
00:35:06.06\00:35:10.40
the other was signing
up for that, I mean they
00:35:10.41\00:35:12.63
signed up for 12
O'clock midnight,
00:35:12.64\00:35:14.54
both of him did.
It's good. And they showed
00:35:15.35\00:35:18.46
up on the steps of
the church at the same
00:35:18.47\00:35:22.96
time. Wow. And one
of them said to the
00:35:22.97\00:35:25.79
other he said I had
no idea you were gonna
00:35:25.80\00:35:27.88
be here and the other
said likewise and they
00:35:27.89\00:35:31.16
said you know
something we can't go in there
00:35:31.17\00:35:34.10
and pray until we get
some things understood.
00:35:34.11\00:35:37.92
And they sat there
and said there is no way
00:35:39.01\00:35:40.90
we can untangle all
the problems we had.
00:35:40.91\00:35:44.21
Let's just bury them
and let's go in there and
00:35:44.69\00:35:47.92
pray together,
amen. They went in there
00:35:47.93\00:35:50.28
and started praying,
I want to tell you what
00:35:50.29\00:35:52.24
happened. Thank the
Lord for cell phones,
00:35:52.25\00:35:54.84
people started
calling, hey you know what's
00:35:55.49\00:35:58.54
happening at the
church? These two men have
00:35:58.55\00:36:03.05
mended, their
hearts are one again.
00:36:03.17\00:36:06.23
And they are
praying together, they went
00:36:06.63\00:36:09.83
through the one hour
and they kept praying
00:36:09.84\00:36:12.30
together and they kept growing.
00:36:12.31\00:36:14.40
Now the pastor had
taken 7 O'clock in the
00:36:15.15\00:36:18.48
morning because he
thought I'll go there and
00:36:18.49\00:36:23.19
I'll probably be
the only one there but
00:36:23.79\00:36:27.53
because there was
nobody singed up for
00:36:27.54\00:36:29.05
seven. So, he'd said
I'll go there and sign up
00:36:29.06\00:36:31.85
for that I'll go, then
he said that I'll start
00:36:31.86\00:36:33.88
working on my sermon
and I'll be ready for
00:36:33.89\00:36:36.61
church. So, he got
to the church, he was a
00:36:36.62\00:36:40.93
little bit late in
fact, and when he drove into
00:36:40.94\00:36:44.12
the parking lot he
couldn't believe the
00:36:44.13\00:36:45.85
number of cars
when he went inside he
00:36:45.86\00:36:48.14
couldn't believe
the number of people.
00:36:48.15\00:36:49.86
And the Lord had
healed that church through
00:36:50.33\00:36:53.60
prayer and I will,
that's a wonderful story.
00:36:53.61\00:36:56.14
And I will tell you
something that this is how
00:36:56.43\00:36:59.78
God works when you're praying,
00:37:00.03\00:37:02.24
He can change
hearts, that's right, amen,
00:37:02.57\00:37:05.35
that's right, He
really is. Yes. And so I hope
00:37:05.36\00:37:09.11
that the 40 hour, it
runs through the Sabbath
00:37:09.12\00:37:13.37
hours and up to
breakfast time on Sunday,
00:37:13.38\00:37:15.66
is that what it
is? That's right.
00:37:15.67\00:37:17.51
It starts Friday nights,
it started Friday evening
00:37:18.06\00:37:20.73
at 5 O'clock and it
went clear through the
00:37:20.82\00:37:24.55
Sabbath, okay, and
all Saturday night,
00:37:24.56\00:37:27.42
and then Sunday
morning at 9 O'clock we
00:37:28.03\00:37:30.56
convened for a
beautiful Agape Breakfast
00:37:30.79\00:37:35.28
that our Pastor's
wife some and his mother,
00:37:35.29\00:37:37.21
precious ladies
had put together yeah.
00:37:37.52\00:37:39.85
And we finished up,
we had devotionals, yes,
00:37:40.01\00:37:43.89
10 devotionals
and actually used Mark
00:37:43.90\00:37:46.37
Finley's book,
Revive Us Again, okay.
00:37:46.38\00:37:49.08
We used chapters
from that book and started
00:37:49.59\00:37:52.46
out with the, the
Laodicean message,
00:37:52.47\00:37:55.92
because the pastor
felt that this was really
00:37:56.36\00:37:58.65
important that we
consider who we are,
00:37:58.66\00:38:03.15
where we are and
what is the remedy?
00:38:03.99\00:38:06.19
Wow. And then we
went into Mark Finley's
00:38:07.40\00:38:09.48
book and we, seven of
us, each took a chapter
00:38:09.49\00:38:14.35
from Revive Us
Again and we shared the
00:38:14.36\00:38:17.39
message in that
chapter. And then our Pastor
00:38:17.40\00:38:20.18
Ray House finished up
with the last chapter of
00:38:20.19\00:38:23.53
that book and with
prayer. You know I like
00:38:23.54\00:38:26.05
that 40 hours
because you remember they're
00:38:26.06\00:38:29.18
40 days and nights
and 40 days that Christ
00:38:29.19\00:38:33.53
was in the wilderness
and I love this 40 hour
00:38:33.54\00:38:37.04
I think it's very
Biblical and it has a beautiful
00:38:37.05\00:38:40.14
ring to it so. Well I
would like to share just
00:38:40.15\00:38:42.58
an answer to
prayer. Just as we were
00:38:42.59\00:38:45.76
convening for the
breakfast, my cell phone
00:38:45.89\00:38:48.95
rang and it was a
friend from Herrin, Illinois
00:38:48.96\00:38:54.49
and he said Marian,
there is a 10 year old boy
00:38:55.02\00:38:58.57
who was in intensive
care in the hospital I
00:38:58.58\00:39:01.44
just got a call
from his grandmother,
00:39:01.45\00:39:03.20
this boy is having
severe seizures and he is
00:39:03.60\00:39:06.62
at death door,
would you please pray and
00:39:06.63\00:39:08.80
I said friends, I
will do more than that,
00:39:08.81\00:39:11.42
and he said we have
48 people seated here
00:39:11.54\00:39:14.96
are ready to star
a prayer breakfast.
00:39:15.51\00:39:18.43
I said we will all
pray for him, and we did.
00:39:18.89\00:39:22.13
I got a call that
this young boy was now
00:39:22.38\00:39:25.98
awake, still in ICU
but the doctor said this is
00:39:26.48\00:39:30.57
truly he is going
to make a breakthrough.
00:39:30.98\00:39:34.24
And the boy was
talking and able to converse
00:39:34.36\00:39:37.81
with his family. And
so that was absolutely
00:39:37.82\00:39:40.86
an answer to
prayer. And don't you think
00:39:40.87\00:39:42.61
Marian that you are
going to continue to
00:39:42.62\00:39:45.53
see results? Oh
absolutely, of these
00:39:45.54\00:39:47.91
40 hours. Yes, we
are in fact we've been
00:39:47.92\00:39:52.58
meeting in a pretty
good size room for prayer
00:39:52.59\00:39:55.68
meeting, last night
we had to bring in more
00:39:55.69\00:39:59.03
chairs and the room
was full to more than
00:39:59.04\00:40:02.62
capacity, yeah.
Probably good thing the
00:40:02.63\00:40:04.42
fire department
wasn't there, I'm not sure if
00:40:04.43\00:40:06.69
it was legal. But,
we know now that we're
00:40:06.70\00:40:09.21
gonna have to move
back into the sanctuary
00:40:09.22\00:40:11.77
because we've got
too many people for this,
00:40:11.78\00:40:13.88
for our prayer
meeting room. You know I
00:40:14.21\00:40:16.04
know Ray House,
your pastor very well.
00:40:16.05\00:40:18.17
And a lot of people
don't realize that he is
00:40:18.63\00:40:21.41
the grandson of Ray
Turner, that's right.
00:40:21.42\00:40:23.82
And Ray Turner played
a big part in my life,
00:40:23.95\00:40:28.16
and, being for
that, along with Ray,
00:40:28.36\00:40:31.28
with Fordyce
Detamore and some of these
00:40:31.95\00:40:34.49
individuals, and
Ray, a great soul winner,
00:40:34.50\00:40:37.55
great singer but he led
100s and 1000s of people
00:40:37.75\00:40:42.82
to Christ one on one.
And Ray is named after
00:40:43.24\00:40:47.73
him Ray House and he
is a very spiritual young
00:40:47.74\00:40:52.72
man. Now here is
something and I'm gonna
00:40:52.73\00:40:55.59
ask Raquel to
lead us in this prayer,
00:40:55.60\00:40:57.57
'cause we're gonna
have a special prayer right
00:40:57.58\00:40:59.84
here and it says I'm
praying for a lifestyle
00:40:59.85\00:41:03.89
center in Las
Vegas. Some people don't
00:41:04.01\00:41:06.30
realize, but 3ABN has
had a tremendous impact
00:41:06.31\00:41:10.29
in Las Vegas. That's
right. We have a station
00:41:10.30\00:41:14.21
there, it has been
analog but we are moving
00:41:14.22\00:41:17.05
forward by faith, we
don't have the money but
00:41:17.06\00:41:19.80
we are gonna go on
anyway and there is
00:41:19.81\00:41:23.16
some of these like
Minneapolis, Las Vegas
00:41:23.17\00:41:26.59
some of these that
we must move over to
00:41:26.83\00:41:29.41
digital and
we've taken to digital.
00:41:29.42\00:41:31.23
It makes a stretch it
first, when I first looked
00:41:31.79\00:41:34.89
at that I thought
more the devil has figured
00:41:34.90\00:41:36.60
out something now
because, it's gonna be
00:41:36.61\00:41:39.45
such a hard financial
thing on us that we will
00:41:39.46\00:41:42.87
have to shut down
stations. You know
00:41:42.88\00:41:45.35
something the Lord
is providing the money
00:41:45.36\00:41:47.81
and now instead of
one station we will have
00:41:47.82\00:41:51.90
four; we will have four
channels instead of one.
00:41:51.91\00:41:55.84
So, God has multiplied
you see when the devil
00:41:56.08\00:41:59.98
thinks he's got you
turned, God turns it into
00:41:59.99\00:42:02.75
something else. So,
we've got four channels
00:42:02.76\00:42:05.18
that we're be able
to put it on there.
00:42:05.19\00:42:06.83
And Las Vegas I was
telling to people the
00:42:07.20\00:42:11.85
other night about
the book by Brother Ray,
00:42:11.86\00:42:15.88
Marvin Ray the
pastor at Napa Valley and in
00:42:16.79\00:42:19.48
that book he tells
about his visit to the
00:42:19.49\00:42:22.06
Mountain View Church
and I mentioned it earlier,
00:42:22.07\00:42:24.38
yeah, how many
people are baptized at that
00:42:24.39\00:42:28.51
church? Paradise
Valley, about the same thing,
00:42:28.52\00:42:31.91
Calvin Rock tells me
about the same thing from
00:42:31.92\00:42:34.82
his church. So, 30,
40 each of those churches
00:42:34.83\00:42:38.07
every year are being
baptized in Las Vegas.
00:42:38.22\00:42:42.30
There is another
factor in Las Vegas,
00:42:42.56\00:42:44.62
Peter Neary, yeah,
who has been here more
00:42:45.37\00:42:49.40
than a month is the
pastor of the Paradise
00:42:49.41\00:42:53.01
Church in Las Vegas
and he was really called
00:42:53.02\00:42:56.57
to be a conference
president and on the way
00:42:56.58\00:42:58.96
he felt like the Lord
was speaking to him and
00:42:58.97\00:43:00.93
telling him that he
didn't want him to be a
00:43:00.94\00:43:03.36
conference president
he wanted him to pastor
00:43:03.37\00:43:05.21
the Paradise
Church in Las Vegas.
00:43:05.22\00:43:07.38
So, he went there
he volunteered to the
00:43:07.86\00:43:11.11
conference president
he said I've never done
00:43:11.12\00:43:12.70
this before, yeah. But,
I just feel that this is
00:43:12.71\00:43:15.46
where God wants me.
So he was voted in they
00:43:15.47\00:43:19.84
didn't know him, but
they voted 50 to 1 to
00:43:19.85\00:43:23.39
accept him, they'd
never heard him preach,
00:43:23.62\00:43:25.33
they didn't know him.
But, he has just changed
00:43:25.34\00:43:29.64
that church and
the Lord is doing it.
00:43:29.65\00:43:31.44
Yeah even
before Peter got there,
00:43:31.45\00:43:33.46
they baptized over a
100 in that church from
00:43:33.47\00:43:35.80
3ABN. So even before
Peter got there and I
00:43:35.81\00:43:38.94
know Peter is a
wonderful spiritual person.
00:43:38.95\00:43:41.28
But, I was gonna tell
you is every Wednesday
00:43:41.29\00:43:43.46
Peter fasts, yeah, and
some of his people fast
00:43:43.76\00:43:46.65
and they go up on a
mountain over looking
00:43:46.66\00:43:48.59
yes, Las Vegas, and
they pray for that sin
00:43:48.60\00:43:51.60
city, and it is
really making a difference.
00:43:51.61\00:43:53.88
It is making a
difference but I will tell you
00:43:53.89\00:43:55.88
something that
television is God's median
00:43:55.89\00:43:59.36
in that area. Gets
into the home and those
00:43:59.50\00:44:02.79
prayers are answered
by their watching that
00:44:02.80\00:44:05.17
television and when
people go to Las Vegas
00:44:05.18\00:44:07.42
often times they hit
bottom, I mean they hit
00:44:07.84\00:44:11.46
bottom for whatever
reason that they went
00:44:11.79\00:44:14.43
there, they sometimes
come to the place where
00:44:14.44\00:44:16.45
they know
they've got to find God.
00:44:16.46\00:44:18.40
They may not have
cable so they're watch
00:44:18.87\00:44:21.94
television on the
rabbit ears there.
00:44:22.07\00:44:25.20
And so when they do
that they are only able
00:44:25.76\00:44:29.78
to get a few
channels ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX
00:44:29.79\00:44:33.16
couple of
educations channels, and 3ABN,
00:44:34.18\00:44:36.12
and 3ABN. And we
have had people even come
00:44:36.13\00:44:40.07
here and we've
baptized them here.
00:44:40.08\00:44:42.42
I tell you it's
just a beautiful story,
00:44:43.98\00:44:45.52
well this person
continues. Said I wanna
00:44:45.53\00:44:47.86
praying for a
lifestyle center in Las Vegas,
00:44:47.87\00:44:50.60
I would like the
youth in our churches to be
00:44:50.95\00:44:53.24
involved I want to
praise 3ABN with God's
00:44:53.25\00:44:57.65
help they saved my
life. With God's help 3ABN
00:44:57.66\00:45:03.23
they say saved my
life this person does,
00:45:03.65\00:45:06.45
they're praying for
a lifestyle center in
00:45:06.82\00:45:08.50
Las Vegas. I will tell
you I don't know if that's
00:45:08.51\00:45:11.61
God's will or not
but I want us to lay that
00:45:11.62\00:45:15.54
before if it is His
will. We wanna see that
00:45:15.67\00:45:18.61
kind of something
happen. Because if there's
00:45:18.62\00:45:21.10
any place people would
need a lifestyle center
00:45:21.11\00:45:24.18
is right there in that
sin city we'll pray for us
00:45:24.42\00:45:29.83
would you? Okay.
Dear heavenly Father I
00:45:29.84\00:45:34.23
would like to come to you now,
00:45:34.24\00:45:35.71
with in prayer and
petition for a lifestyle
00:45:35.75\00:45:39.05
center in Las Vegas
Lord, sin city seems like
00:45:39.06\00:45:43.15
the devil is dusting
off his shoulders, as his,
00:45:43.27\00:45:45.50
he is one or as if
he is doing something
00:45:45.77\00:45:50.56
powerful but Lord we
all know that you are
00:45:50.57\00:45:52.68
more powerful than
Satan and we pray that
00:45:52.69\00:45:56.46
you insight a
passion and dive in our young
00:45:56.47\00:46:01.71
people too to get
things started for you Lord.
00:46:01.72\00:46:05.00
Help us to understand
the importance of your
00:46:06.01\00:46:09.41
Holy Spirit and it's
power Lord we pray that
00:46:09.42\00:46:12.68
we can possess that
and go forth in your name
00:46:13.01\00:46:15.22
and Lord, lives need
to be change and if it's
00:46:16.38\00:46:19.65
your will you can
create a place where that can
00:46:19.66\00:46:21.92
happen and I pray
that we step up to the
00:46:21.93\00:46:25.09
calling and get
things moving for you Lord
00:46:25.10\00:46:28.08
it's important that
we realize that your
00:46:28.80\00:46:31.02
Holy Spirit isn't just
you know present on the
00:46:31.03\00:46:34.59
weekends on the
Sabbath, on whispers
00:46:34.60\00:46:36.97
night, you know Lord
I pray that you realize
00:46:36.98\00:46:39.43
that it's, it is for
our lives as on a day to day
00:46:39.44\00:46:42.28
basis and we need you everyday,
00:46:42.29\00:46:45.66
every moment,
every second of our lives
00:46:45.67\00:46:48.44
and we pray that
you come into our lives
00:46:48.45\00:46:50.54
change them and
help us to change other
00:46:50.64\00:46:53.41
peoples lives and I
pray that you continue
00:46:53.42\00:46:57.93
to bless 3ABN and its
ministries as it continues
00:46:57.94\00:47:01.24
to change the lives
of many people all over
00:47:01.25\00:47:04.52
the world and in
your name I pray. Amen.
00:47:04.53\00:47:09.25
Amen, wow! Thank
you so much Raquel,
00:47:09.26\00:47:12.94
we appreciate that
and I believe God is gonna
00:47:12.95\00:47:15.38
do something folks. Lot
of different ways to reach
00:47:15.39\00:47:19.38
people and the
lifestyle center just might
00:47:19.39\00:47:22.77
be the right thing
there National Day of Prayer
00:47:22.78\00:47:25.30
tell us about that.
Well this is always the first
00:47:25.31\00:47:28.17
Thursday in May,
okay. And President Reagan
00:47:28.18\00:47:31.17
signed it into
law. So, this has been a
00:47:31.18\00:47:35.43
wonderful thing and
it's a great opportunity
00:47:35.44\00:47:37.77
for Christians to come
together in a community
00:47:37.78\00:47:40.62
and pray for the
nation, yes. To pray for the
00:47:40.88\00:47:43.59
government, to pray
for the local police and
00:47:43.60\00:47:46.78
firefighters and
mayors and you know just to
00:47:46.79\00:47:51.04
be involved in asking
God to do something in
00:47:51.05\00:47:53.90
our nation, it's a
wonderful experience.
00:47:53.91\00:47:56.44
And then this
weekend, this Sabbath is a
00:47:56.86\00:48:01.42
world day of prayer and fasting.
00:48:01.43\00:48:03.69
And so that's
another time when you can get
00:48:04.59\00:48:07.82
together with friends
and pray for the world
00:48:07.83\00:48:10.94
and for your
community and for your church.
00:48:11.50\00:48:13.64
And I'm glad to see
that in many parts of this
00:48:14.78\00:48:18.95
country, in Canada,
the conference presidents
00:48:18.96\00:48:22.44
are calling for days
of prayer once a quarter
00:48:23.00\00:48:27.09
or once, they want
several times of prayer
00:48:27.46\00:48:30.82
throughout this year.
So, I just would invite
00:48:31.15\00:48:34.73
you to find out when
this is going to be for
00:48:34.74\00:48:38.38
your church and
become part of it.
00:48:38.39\00:48:41.14
And then I'd like
to also give a special
00:48:41.47\00:48:43.55
invitation
because we are saying,
00:48:43.56\00:48:46.42
we're asking people
as early as possible this
00:48:46.43\00:48:50.91
year to join the
100,000 prayer warriors who
00:48:50.92\00:48:55.57
will pray every day
for and you can see that
00:48:55.58\00:48:59.41
on the screen right
now a 100,000 prayer
00:48:59.42\00:49:02.24
warriors are needed, all ages.
00:49:02.25\00:49:04.82
All you have to do is
go to your computer and
00:49:05.28\00:49:10.64
on the Internet go
to pray4net2011.org.
00:49:10.87\00:49:17.75
Now if you do not have
access to the Internet,
00:49:18.42\00:49:21.71
talk to your pastor
he can do that for you.
00:49:22.09\00:49:24.68
Here's another
invitation, a 100,000 seems like
00:49:25.19\00:49:29.35
a lot of people but I
think we have more than
00:49:29.36\00:49:31.75
that. Oh my, we have
more than that praying.
00:49:31.76\00:49:34.68
Oh yeah. But we just
need to hear from you or
00:49:34.69\00:49:37.00
your church so that
we can keep in touch
00:49:37.01\00:49:39.47
with you and we
can give you the prayer
00:49:39.48\00:49:41.75
requests, there's
going to be an evangelism
00:49:41.76\00:49:46.49
crusade, a net
series that will begin in
00:49:47.07\00:49:49.98
September with Ron
Clouzet and we want
00:49:49.99\00:49:52.49
to pray for that and
for evangelism all over,
00:49:52.50\00:49:56.69
they're gonna be
many people holding
00:49:56.70\00:49:58.54
evangelistic
crusades. So, we want to pray
00:49:58.92\00:50:01.24
especially for
evangelism and for revival.
00:50:01.25\00:50:05.65
Yes, we have a
question for Marian and the
00:50:06.54\00:50:10.71
question is why
didn't you have a guest
00:50:10.72\00:50:13.08
speaker during the
prayer, youth prayer
00:50:13.09\00:50:15.59
conference in
October? I'm really glad they
00:50:15.60\00:50:18.11
asked that question.
That's a good question.
00:50:18.12\00:50:19.52
You know the first
teen prayer conference as
00:50:20.15\00:50:22.94
Ruthie mention was
back in 1995, yeah.
00:50:22.95\00:50:25.74
And they didn't
have a guest speaker,
00:50:25.80\00:50:27.35
well actually they did
it was the Holy Spirit,
00:50:27.36\00:50:29.36
yeah. Well you know I
didn't really know that
00:50:29.41\00:50:32.39
much about that
prayer conference.
00:50:32.40\00:50:33.99
The young people
led out then, the young
00:50:34.20\00:50:36.35
people led out. In
2009 we did have a teen
00:50:36.36\00:50:42.01
prayer conference
the first one that I
00:50:42.02\00:50:43.75
coordinated and
we did have a speaker
00:50:43.76\00:50:48.09
Ivor Myers and
that was very successful
00:50:48.10\00:50:51.21
in fact I had many
adults that were little
00:50:51.22\00:50:53.68
upset that it wasn't
an adult prayer conference
00:50:53.69\00:50:57.31
but we let them
come if they brought
00:50:57.32\00:50:58.79
teenagers. So, it
was very successful,
00:50:58.80\00:51:01.58
but as we were
planning the one for this
00:51:01.94\00:51:04.36
past year, the Lord
just really put on the
00:51:04.69\00:51:09.12
committee's
heart that we needed to
00:51:09.13\00:51:12.43
consider doing what
was done in 1995 and
00:51:12.44\00:51:16.18
I called Gary
Burns and I said Gary,
00:51:16.19\00:51:18.93
would you come, I
have no idea what to do.
00:51:18.94\00:51:21.74
And the only answer
I could get out of him
00:51:22.23\00:51:24.59
was well you have to
pray. And I said well
00:51:24.60\00:51:26.61
Gary of course I
pray, I'm a prayer
00:51:26.62\00:51:28.32
coordinator. But he
said no I'll come and
00:51:28.33\00:51:33.57
when I ask him you
know well what do I need to
00:51:33.58\00:51:35.89
do to prepare? All I
could get out of him was
00:51:35.90\00:51:38.16
pray. Yeah. Well
now I know what he's
00:51:38.17\00:51:40.59
talking about. But
when we planned it we
00:51:40.60\00:51:45.79
prayed about it and
I'll tell you when you
00:51:45.80\00:51:49.58
allow the Holy Spirit
to get a hold of these
00:51:49.59\00:51:53.41
teenagers more
happens. One little
00:51:53.42\00:51:57.22
miracle happened
actually we had not
00:51:57.23\00:52:00.93
prepared for a
baptism, that wasn't our
00:52:00.94\00:52:04.64
thinking that we
would try and get young
00:52:04.88\00:52:08.52
people to be
baptized that weekend.
00:52:08.53\00:52:10.21
But our church
custodian had filled the
00:52:10.77\00:52:14.96
baptismal tank on
Wednesday and she forgot
00:52:15.26\00:52:20.88
to pull the plug, and
the heater was left on
00:52:20.89\00:52:23.76
and so the baptismal
tank was ready for those
00:52:24.66\00:52:28.91
50 baptisms. You
know we can bring in
00:52:28.92\00:52:32.32
good speakers and
people are blessed but
00:52:32.45\00:52:36.64
when we let the Holy
Spirit take over people
00:52:36.93\00:52:40.56
are baptized,
amen. And I'd like to ask
00:52:40.57\00:52:42.87
Raquel, didn't it
make a difference?
00:52:42.88\00:52:45.59
Yes I think it
was really important,
00:52:45.60\00:52:47.39
I think the opportunity
for us to young people
00:52:47.82\00:52:50.20
to sit, that was
really important because
00:52:50.21\00:52:52.40
a lot of times we
assume the role of just
00:52:52.41\00:52:54.43
sitting back and
letting the adults do it,
00:52:54.44\00:52:56.20
yeah. It's not
a spectator sport.
00:52:56.21\00:52:57.81
That's right. Yes,
and some times I don't
00:52:57.82\00:52:59.41
know teenagers are
mistaken we feel like
00:52:59.42\00:53:02.03
we shouldn't be
treated like kids but then we
00:53:02.70\00:53:05.57
are too young
to lead the church.
00:53:05.58\00:53:07.31
It's very bad
understanding that we
00:53:07.68\00:53:10.27
carry and so I
thought that opportunity was
00:53:10.28\00:53:12.56
really important
for us to have. Wow!
00:53:12.57\00:53:14.09
That is great,
well Ruthie, you know a
00:53:14.10\00:53:16.54
number of years
ago I remember even
00:53:16.55\00:53:18.67
about the time and
just before that prayer
00:53:18.68\00:53:21.74
conference in 1995.
Prayer conferences were
00:53:21.75\00:53:24.80
really new in
North America, they were.
00:53:24.81\00:53:27.59
And the Lord laid
this on your heart,
00:53:27.95\00:53:30.39
I remember when you
and Don were in Oregon
00:53:30.40\00:53:33.50
and God you read a
book by about George
00:53:33.98\00:53:37.84
Muller and you
begin to pray at that time
00:53:39.07\00:53:45.23
prayer, it always
been a part of your life
00:53:45.63\00:53:47.58
but then it became a
real ministry in your life.
00:53:47.59\00:53:52.22
And since then
you've seen hundreds of
00:53:52.96\00:53:56.77
prayer conferences
take place. And you've
00:53:56.78\00:53:59.92
seen leaders like
Gary Burns develop.
00:53:59.93\00:54:02.71
I remember the first
time, I was in the one
00:54:03.28\00:54:04.99
of those early
meetings that you had,
00:54:05.00\00:54:07.59
I can't remember where we were.
00:54:07.60\00:54:09.57
We were at some
camp and I remember
00:54:09.58\00:54:12.64
that Gary, I believe
that was his first time
00:54:12.65\00:54:14.93
to be in one of
those prayer meetings,
00:54:15.67\00:54:17.95
prayer conferences.
And he has developed
00:54:17.96\00:54:21.40
into such a
powerful leader of prayer
00:54:21.41\00:54:26.06
ministries. And the
Lord has blessed him,
00:54:26.07\00:54:28.61
and Peter, oh yeah,
oh yeah. I just watch
00:54:28.62\00:54:31.61
these young people,
young pastors and God
00:54:31.62\00:54:35.65
has empowered
them, yes absolutely,
00:54:35.66\00:54:39.49
it's like Dwight.
Dwight says, Lord set us a
00:54:39.50\00:54:41.09
blaze, yeah amen. I
want to say one other
00:54:41.10\00:54:44.19
thing. Alright but
we've got to get this address
00:54:44.20\00:54:46.21
rolled in, okay,
because people will not know
00:54:46.22\00:54:48.21
how to reach you if I
don't get it in, okay.
00:54:48.22\00:54:50.34
You need to reach
Ruthie, this is how you
00:54:50.49\00:54:54.20
can do it also you
can order that book,
00:54:54.21\00:54:56.21
5 Secrets, just call
it 5 Secrets for Peace
00:54:56.22\00:55:00.00
in a Storm. But, this is
00:55:00.01\00:55:01.71
how you can reach Ruthie.

got a few seconds left
00:55:53.43\00:55:56.02
tell us some
things. I just wanted to say
00:55:56.50\00:55:58.68
going back to the
100,000 prayer warriors
00:55:58.94\00:56:01.92
I just want to
remind everyone that we
00:56:02.35\00:56:03.94
need everybody to
be praying together for
00:56:03.95\00:56:06.98
revival and for
evangelism and I wanted
00:56:06.99\00:56:09.38
to thank Oby and
his mom because they
00:56:09.39\00:56:12.66
have gone to how
many churches and
00:56:12.67\00:56:14.99
invited people
and singed them up?
00:56:15.00\00:56:16.61
We have gone to
probably 4 or 5 churches,
00:56:16.92\00:56:20.14
we were in contact
with probably 15 or 16
00:56:20.71\00:56:23.58
different churches
to go there and invite
00:56:23.59\00:56:26.59
people to share
people about our passion
00:56:26.60\00:56:29.14
for prayer and how
they should, they'll be
00:56:29.15\00:56:31.84
praying to when we
got over 350 singed up
00:56:31.85\00:56:34.59
just for visiting.
