The question on everyone's
mind is after COVID-19,
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.97
what's next?
00:00:04.00\00:00:05.33
Well, stay tuned to find out.
00:00:05.37\00:00:07.14
My name is Jason Bradley,
00:00:07.17\00:00:08.50
and you're
watching Urban Report.
00:00:08.54\00:00:10.54
Hello and
welcome to Urban Report.
00:00:32.96\00:00:34.93
My guests today
are Mr. Danny Shelton,
00:00:34.96\00:00:37.63
3ABN Founder and
Corporate Consultant,
00:00:37.67\00:00:40.00
and Dr. Yvonne Shelton,
00:00:40.04\00:00:41.60
3ABN Dare to Dream
Co-founder and Consultant
00:00:41.64\00:00:45.21
and also known as my parents.
00:00:45.24\00:00:48.21
Welcome to Urban Report, guys.
00:00:48.24\00:00:49.88
Thank you, Jay.
00:00:49.91\00:00:51.31
It's great to have
you. Happy to be here.
00:00:51.35\00:00:53.78
Yes, yes.
00:00:53.82\00:00:55.22
Now, I know
00:00:55.25\00:00:56.79
that when people
entered into the year 2020,
00:00:56.82\00:01:01.26
they did not expect to
get hit with such a pandemic.
00:01:01.29\00:01:04.79
Never.
00:01:04.83\00:01:06.16
Never in their whole life.
00:01:06.19\00:01:09.50
I've never seen
anything like it.
00:01:09.53\00:01:11.23
I can't talk
about your mom's age
00:01:11.27\00:01:12.60
and get in trouble.
00:01:12.63\00:01:13.97
But with my age, I've
been around a long time.
00:01:14.00\00:01:16.84
And I've never
seen anything like this.
00:01:16.87\00:01:19.57
Yes. Yeah, it came.
00:01:19.61\00:01:21.44
It seems as though it
just came from nowhere.
00:01:21.48\00:01:23.78
You know, so you
have the end of 2019.
00:01:23.81\00:01:28.12
And everybody's expecting
that 2020 will be a great year.
00:01:28.15\00:01:31.15
Stock markets the greatest
they've been in 50 years.
00:01:31.19\00:01:34.62
We're getting all those reports.
00:01:34.66\00:01:35.99
Everything has
happened and economy's up,
00:01:36.02\00:01:38.23
people working more than
literally the last 50-60 years.
00:01:38.26\00:01:42.53
So how could you expect
00:01:42.56\00:01:44.20
anything but a great
start to a brand new year.
00:01:44.23\00:01:47.54
Yes, yes.
00:01:47.57\00:01:48.90
And then all of a sudden,
00:01:48.94\00:01:51.04
we get hit with
this horrible news
00:01:51.07\00:01:53.34
about COVID-19 and see
so many lives impacted.
00:01:53.38\00:01:57.15
What led to you
guys writing this book?
00:01:57.18\00:02:01.95
Well, after we,
00:02:01.98\00:02:04.02
I think it took
all of us a while,
00:02:04.05\00:02:06.15
including
governments around the world
00:02:06.19\00:02:08.02
to really
understand the kind of pandemic
00:02:08.06\00:02:11.19
that it's a worldwide pandemic.
00:02:11.23\00:02:13.40
And from so, looking at it,
00:02:13.43\00:02:16.30
not even from
the spiritual side,
00:02:16.33\00:02:18.07
but from the physical
side, having to comprehend,
00:02:18.10\00:02:21.00
no, wait a minute,
well, this can't be that bad,
00:02:21.04\00:02:22.90
well, flues, more
people die of flu,
00:02:22.94\00:02:25.47
you know, each year more
people than automobile crashes,
00:02:25.51\00:02:28.64
more people with heart attacks,
I mean, all of these things.
00:02:28.68\00:02:31.88
So you don't know what type
and you don't know what isn't.
00:02:31.91\00:02:35.48
And you don't know
where politics are involved
00:02:35.52\00:02:37.45
and we're politics or not.
00:02:37.49\00:02:38.82
So you don't know
00:02:38.85\00:02:40.19
who's playing one
side against another.
00:02:40.22\00:02:42.29
So I think all of
us may be set back
00:02:42.32\00:02:45.06
a little long until
we kept getting people
00:02:45.09\00:02:48.43
that we knew or
people we saw or,
00:02:48.46\00:02:50.80
you know, and we'll
talk a little bit later
00:02:50.83\00:02:52.27
about somebody very close
in the family that literally,
00:02:52.30\00:02:55.20
you know, got the
disease or the virus and died.
00:02:55.24\00:02:58.67
And so, I think
when all of a sudden,
00:02:58.71\00:03:03.21
what did it take?
00:03:03.24\00:03:04.58
It was two months,
00:03:04.61\00:03:05.95
maybe before most of us
caught on January and February
00:03:05.98\00:03:09.98
that people began
to ask, what's next?
00:03:10.02\00:03:12.79
Was this ever going to end?
00:03:12.82\00:03:14.52
And if it does, you
know, by March and in April,
00:03:14.56\00:03:17.79
it just continues to go on.
00:03:17.83\00:03:19.36
So what's next? Yeah.
00:03:19.39\00:03:22.36
So that idea gave us the
idea to actually, in 2005,
00:03:22.40\00:03:28.47
after Katrina,
00:03:28.50\00:03:29.97
the big hurricanes
in the South, Katrina,
00:03:30.01\00:03:33.24
Pacific Press
asked me to write a book,
00:03:33.27\00:03:35.88
and we called it,
"After the Storm."
00:03:35.91\00:03:38.58
And it's really just a
little 16 page booklet.
00:03:38.61\00:03:41.52
But there were several
there have been numerous storms
00:03:41.55\00:03:44.45
since then over the
years, and even in Sandy Hook,
00:03:44.49\00:03:47.49
and every time some
major problems came up.
00:03:47.52\00:03:50.86
So there's been 2 or
3 million of those books
00:03:50.89\00:03:53.26
have been passed out,
00:03:53.29\00:03:55.43
because it helps
lead people to Jesus
00:03:55.46\00:03:58.40
and after the storm,
what next, though we didn't,
00:03:58.43\00:04:01.44
you know, didn't ever dream.
00:04:01.47\00:04:03.27
We never dreamed
00:04:03.30\00:04:04.64
something like
this would happen.
00:04:04.67\00:04:06.01
So, when this
happened, we said, okay,
00:04:06.04\00:04:07.81
we need something specifically,
you know, for COVID-19.
00:04:07.84\00:04:12.51
Because people are asking,
after COVID-19, what's next?
00:04:12.55\00:04:17.42
And a lot of
the questions where,
00:04:17.45\00:04:19.35
when you talk to
people spiritually,
00:04:19.39\00:04:23.06
well, will there be
anything like this again?
00:04:23.09\00:04:26.63
And, of course, we answer
00:04:26.66\00:04:28.00
that kind of things in the book.
00:04:28.03\00:04:29.66
So ask your mother as well,
00:04:29.70\00:04:31.50
you're the doctor in the family,
00:04:31.53\00:04:33.40
would you maybe
put some facts together
00:04:33.44\00:04:36.14
about COVID, you know, 19
00:04:36.17\00:04:38.31
and then let's hit
some spiritual facts
00:04:38.34\00:04:41.31
to help people.
00:04:41.34\00:04:42.68
It'll be, you know,
we're looking for antiviruses.
00:04:42.71\00:04:45.15
So lest, only that's Jesus.
00:04:45.18\00:04:47.88
So let's see if
we can do something
00:04:47.92\00:04:49.58
to get this to
people to help them
00:04:49.62\00:04:52.25
when the whole
world is at a shutdown.
00:04:52.29\00:04:54.86
Right. Yes.
00:04:54.89\00:04:56.22
This was a major
opportunity for us
00:04:56.26\00:04:59.66
to take what's
going on in the world
00:04:59.69\00:05:03.47
and expose Satan's whole agenda
00:05:03.50\00:05:08.37
and also and God's agenda
and how different they are,
00:05:08.40\00:05:13.27
and yet give people hope
00:05:13.31\00:05:16.04
because so many people
are just as Danny said,
00:05:16.08\00:05:18.71
they're
wondering, well, what's next?
00:05:18.75\00:05:20.75
Like, what am I going to do now?
00:05:20.78\00:05:22.72
What do I do? What?
00:05:22.75\00:05:24.29
Is this going to be the
last thing that happens?
00:05:24.32\00:05:27.16
We can let people know
that if they look to the Bible,
00:05:27.19\00:05:30.53
to the Word of God,
00:05:30.56\00:05:31.89
they'll see what's
going to happen next.
00:05:31.93\00:05:33.63
That's right. Right?
00:05:33.66\00:05:35.00
So we don't have to,
00:05:35.03\00:05:36.60
you know, be afraid but
we can offer people hope,
00:05:36.63\00:05:40.77
where there is no hope.
00:05:40.80\00:05:42.54
Yes, and people are searching.
00:05:42.57\00:05:44.17
People are searching
and people are at home.
00:05:44.21\00:05:47.64
This is the
first time literally,
00:05:47.68\00:05:49.88
you can say
everybody in the world
00:05:49.91\00:05:51.55
referring to anything.
00:05:51.58\00:05:53.18
Now when we're teenagers
growing up and you try this,
00:05:53.21\00:05:56.12
I'm sure some of you
did with your parents,
00:05:56.15\00:05:58.12
didn't set well with my dad.
00:05:58.15\00:05:59.95
But you'd say, "Well,
dad, but everybody's doing."
00:05:59.99\00:06:02.72
And he'd say,
"No, not everybody."
00:06:02.76\00:06:05.36
You know, we'd
say, Well, look at him."
00:06:05.39\00:06:07.53
He'd say, "No,
00:06:07.56\00:06:08.90
everybody's not going
whether it's teen town
00:06:08.93\00:06:10.60
or some event up in
high school at night.
00:06:10.63\00:06:13.20
No, everybody's not going."
00:06:13.23\00:06:15.00
And we were quiet,
00:06:15.04\00:06:16.87
you wouldn't better
and talk back to your dad.
00:06:16.91\00:06:18.31
He'd say, "I can
tell you who that is.
00:06:18.34\00:06:20.14
The Shelton boys
00:06:20.18\00:06:21.51
because there were four of
us at 812 West Warden Street,
00:06:21.54\00:06:23.85
in West Frankfort, Illinois.
00:06:23.88\00:06:25.21
They're not going.
00:06:25.25\00:06:26.58
So everybody is not going."
00:06:26.61\00:06:27.95
But if my dad were alive today,
00:06:27.98\00:06:30.09
I could say to him, dad,
00:06:30.12\00:06:31.45
everybody in the
world is talking about this.
00:06:31.49\00:06:34.32
That's pretty well be true.
00:06:34.36\00:06:35.69
That's very true.
00:06:35.72\00:06:37.06
It's on everybody's mind. It is.
00:06:37.09\00:06:38.96
And people are
wondering, what's next.
00:06:38.99\00:06:41.26
Now this isn't
the first pandemic
00:06:41.30\00:06:43.23
we've seen, correct?
00:06:43.26\00:06:44.60
No. Right.
00:06:44.63\00:06:45.97
There have been others
that have preceded this,
00:06:46.00\00:06:50.57
but this one
00:06:50.61\00:06:52.31
has caused the
world to shut down.
00:06:52.34\00:06:55.04
Yes. So this one is different.
00:06:55.08\00:06:56.75
You know, there's some
that have hit in the Far East,
00:06:56.78\00:07:01.28
you know, or Africa.
00:07:01.32\00:07:02.98
But this has shut
down around the world.
00:07:03.02\00:07:07.76
And so this is unprecedented.
00:07:07.79\00:07:10.69
You know, you can
go way back in history
00:07:10.73\00:07:12.49
to the black
plague and bubonic plague
00:07:12.53\00:07:14.53
all those things
you can go to 1918
00:07:14.56\00:07:16.93
what they call
the Spanish influenza
00:07:16.97\00:07:18.63
that had nothing
to do with Spanish.
00:07:18.67\00:07:20.14
I'm not sure
where that came from,
00:07:20.17\00:07:22.47
but it was different.
00:07:22.50\00:07:23.94
For number one,
00:07:23.97\00:07:25.31
we didn't have
satellite communications
00:07:25.34\00:07:27.48
and the Internet to
get this around the world.
00:07:27.51\00:07:30.18
So they really
don't know how many people
00:07:30.21\00:07:32.58
were at the remotest
part of some countries
00:07:32.61\00:07:35.35
really were affected or not.
00:07:35.38\00:07:37.09
But with social media,
00:07:37.12\00:07:38.62
then with the
communication tools
00:07:38.65\00:07:41.02
that can literally, and
satellites that can spot,
00:07:41.06\00:07:44.53
you can't hide anywhere on
the planet if they want to.
00:07:44.56\00:07:46.90
Somebody wants to,
government wants to find you,
00:07:46.93\00:07:49.30
you know, they're there, so
this for us in our lifetime,
00:07:49.33\00:07:53.17
we've never lived through them.
00:07:53.20\00:07:55.37
But as I look
back the other day,
00:07:55.40\00:07:56.91
I saw back in 1918,
00:07:56.94\00:07:58.77
I think is Minnesota
where some Adventists
00:07:58.81\00:08:01.08
were helping out up there
00:08:01.11\00:08:03.14
and they're all the
folks were wearing masks,
00:08:03.18\00:08:05.68
you know,
around who said well...
00:08:05.71\00:08:07.72
Looks familiar. That's
before even I was born.
00:08:07.75\00:08:12.85
Oh, you know,
00:08:12.89\00:08:14.62
you're dangerous right now.
00:08:14.66\00:08:17.36
I didn't say, where did I, Jay?
00:08:17.39\00:08:19.63
You didn't but I guess is good,
00:08:19.66\00:08:22.66
I got a couch in my house so.
00:08:22.70\00:08:26.53
Need to visit.
00:08:26.57\00:08:27.97
So I stopped short.
00:08:28.00\00:08:29.34
I was just like, "Oh,
no, no, here in my lifetime."
00:08:29.37\00:08:34.11
So I want to talk about
the first pandemic, sin.
00:08:34.14\00:08:39.18
Oh, well,
00:08:39.21\00:08:40.55
that's what we
bring out in the book
00:08:40.58\00:08:42.38
because since people are asking,
00:08:42.42\00:08:44.62
you know, after
COVID-19, what next,
00:08:44.65\00:08:47.72
and everybody's looking
for there has to be a Savior.
00:08:47.76\00:08:51.36
Right now in this world,
00:08:51.39\00:08:53.06
there has to be in
the physical sense,
00:08:53.09\00:08:55.16
people are looking for a Savior,
00:08:55.20\00:08:56.53
an antivirus,
00:08:56.56\00:08:58.13
vaccine that's
going to stop all of this
00:08:58.17\00:09:01.07
and make let everything
go back to where it was.
00:09:01.10\00:09:04.57
Well, I have a feeling,
00:09:04.61\00:09:06.17
things will never be
back the way they were.
00:09:06.21\00:09:08.94
But as we look into those of
us who studied prophecy some,
00:09:08.98\00:09:12.51
we believe that
all this is doing
00:09:12.55\00:09:14.05
is put us into
the very end of times
00:09:14.08\00:09:17.25
to wake everybody up.
00:09:17.29\00:09:19.32
So many of us Christians
who haven't been doing much
00:09:19.35\00:09:21.82
suddenly say
00:09:21.86\00:09:23.19
have to take a look at
this and say, you know what?
00:09:23.22\00:09:25.16
The world's never going
to be the same after this.
00:09:25.19\00:09:27.73
And so, but in
the Garden of Eden,
00:09:27.76\00:09:31.03
so we bring in
this little pamphlet,
00:09:31.07\00:09:33.10
and we talk about sin,
00:09:33.13\00:09:35.00
how that it came
in the Garden of Eden,
00:09:35.04\00:09:37.04
God created, you
know, a perfect world.
00:09:37.07\00:09:40.78
But then when the devil tempted
in the form of the serpent,
00:09:40.81\00:09:44.58
Eve and she and her husband,
00:09:44.61\00:09:46.51
and so they
partook, they disobeyed,
00:09:46.55\00:09:49.22
what it's all
about was disobedience.
00:09:49.25\00:09:51.25
They disobeyed God.
00:09:51.29\00:09:52.62
So he said,
"Well, you can't live.
00:09:52.65\00:09:53.99
It's impossible to
live in a perfect world,
00:09:54.02\00:09:56.29
because now you have sinned."
00:09:56.32\00:09:58.39
And what is sin?
00:09:58.43\00:09:59.76
Does anybody know what
the definition of sin is?
00:09:59.79\00:10:01.50
Transgression of God's law.
00:10:01.53\00:10:02.86
It's transgression of God's law
00:10:02.90\00:10:04.80
or the breaking of
God's commandments,
00:10:04.83\00:10:07.00
of His laws.
00:10:07.04\00:10:08.37
So when we break God's laws,
00:10:08.40\00:10:09.87
we distance
ourselves from our Creator.
00:10:09.90\00:10:12.97
That's why today we
don't see God face to face.
00:10:13.01\00:10:15.71
We could not stand up,
00:10:15.74\00:10:17.08
human flesh could not stand
in the presence of a holy God,
00:10:17.11\00:10:20.82
because we've disintegrate
from the brightness,
00:10:20.85\00:10:23.02
from perfection.
00:10:23.05\00:10:25.12
And so, what happened
is Adam and Eve got put out
00:10:25.15\00:10:28.72
and we try to explain this
00:10:28.76\00:10:30.43
to people who maybe or not
00:10:30.46\00:10:31.79
totally familiar with the Bible,
00:10:31.83\00:10:33.86
necessarily
Christians to answer.
00:10:33.90\00:10:36.53
So many people are saying,
00:10:36.56\00:10:38.67
"Well, I can't believe this is,
00:10:38.70\00:10:40.47
how do they blame God
when a tornado happens?"
00:10:40.50\00:10:43.64
An act of God. An act of God.
00:10:43.67\00:10:45.47
They say, "Oh,
this is an act of God."
00:10:45.51\00:10:47.71
Well, no, it's
an act of the devil.
00:10:47.74\00:10:49.51
So what we try to do,
Jay, is we try to explain,
00:10:49.54\00:10:52.81
go back to the Garden of Eden
00:10:52.85\00:10:54.75
and show how sin
came into this world
00:10:54.78\00:10:57.92
and that Jesus
was that antivirus
00:10:57.95\00:11:00.06
for that Jesus is the only one
00:11:00.09\00:11:02.29
and because He loved us so much,
00:11:02.32\00:11:04.29
the God had made
a plan of salvation,
00:11:04.33\00:11:08.33
where Jesus was
able to take our sins
00:11:08.36\00:11:11.20
on His shoulders
00:11:11.23\00:11:12.57
and take those to the cross,
nailing them to the cross,
00:11:12.60\00:11:15.64
and remission shed His
blood in remission for our sins.
00:11:15.67\00:11:20.04
And so it's the only answer
00:11:20.08\00:11:21.41
because we're all
born terminally ill.
00:11:21.44\00:11:23.98
We just some take us
longer to die than others.
00:11:24.01\00:11:26.72
And so that's
the world we live in.
00:11:26.75\00:11:28.25
There is no way out.
00:11:28.28\00:11:29.65
There is no hope
00:11:29.68\00:11:31.02
except through
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:11:31.05\00:11:32.82
So what we're trying
to do is to show people,
00:11:32.85\00:11:35.42
that God is a God of love.
00:11:35.46\00:11:36.89
John 10:10 says, "The
thief," speaking of Satan,
00:11:36.93\00:11:40.40
"comes not but for to
steal, kill and to destroy."
00:11:40.43\00:11:43.90
But Jesus says,
00:11:43.93\00:11:45.27
"I've come that
you may have life
00:11:45.30\00:11:46.70
and you may have
it more abundantly."
00:11:46.74\00:11:48.64
So we're trying
to answer questions,
00:11:48.67\00:11:51.17
because people as
you referred to earlier,
00:11:51.21\00:11:54.28
as well, if there's a God,
00:11:54.31\00:11:56.48
where is He now
when we need Him?
00:11:56.51\00:11:58.95
That is a very good
question that people are asking.
00:11:58.98\00:12:03.02
And, you know, another one is,
00:12:03.05\00:12:05.82
well, why do bad
things happen to good people?
00:12:05.85\00:12:08.12
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:08.16\00:12:09.49
And you touch on that
on in the booklet as well.
00:12:09.52\00:12:10.93
We touched on that.
00:12:10.96\00:12:12.29
And where is God
when you need Him
00:12:12.33\00:12:13.90
and why do bad things,
00:12:13.93\00:12:15.56
why do bad things happen to?
00:12:15.60\00:12:17.27
Well, it all goes back to sin.
00:12:17.30\00:12:19.00
It all goes back to,
00:12:19.03\00:12:20.87
you know, the
original pandemic which is sin.
00:12:20.90\00:12:25.41
And so, there is the only remedy
00:12:25.44\00:12:29.11
for it is the blood of Jesus.
00:12:29.14\00:12:30.78
And, unfortunately,
00:12:30.81\00:12:33.68
and I didn't realize this
00:12:33.72\00:12:35.28
until recently, really,
00:12:35.32\00:12:37.39
there's so many
people who have never heard
00:12:37.42\00:12:40.02
of Jesus ever.
00:12:40.06\00:12:41.89
And because we kind
of take it for granted,
00:12:41.92\00:12:43.89
you know, we're Christians,
00:12:43.93\00:12:45.26
and we talk about Jesus and all.
00:12:45.29\00:12:46.63
But there's some people
who have never heard His name.
00:12:46.66\00:12:48.70
They've never
heard the name of God
00:12:48.73\00:12:50.17
outside of cursing or profanity.
00:12:50.20\00:12:52.90
And so for us now to,
00:12:52.93\00:12:55.94
in this booklet to
kind of show who God is,
00:12:55.97\00:12:59.41
what He's done for mankind
00:12:59.44\00:13:02.04
through making a
plan of salvation for us,
00:13:02.08\00:13:05.75
and then Jesus Christ is sure,
00:13:05.78\00:13:08.25
giving His life
for all of mankind.
00:13:08.28\00:13:12.22
And so it's like,
00:13:12.25\00:13:13.99
this booklet is kind of written
00:13:14.02\00:13:16.93
to vindicate
the character of God
00:13:16.96\00:13:19.83
because so many
people feel as though
00:13:19.86\00:13:22.56
God is just up
there trying to zap people
00:13:22.60\00:13:26.17
or judge them and kill them.
00:13:26.20\00:13:29.20
No, that's not who
God is. God is love.
00:13:29.24\00:13:31.97
It's not He's like love,
00:13:32.01\00:13:33.78
is not, you
know, He's kind of...
00:13:33.81\00:13:36.64
No, God is love.
00:13:36.68\00:13:39.05
And so that's what
this is about really.
00:13:39.08\00:13:41.68
It's really showing who God is,
00:13:41.72\00:13:44.75
as opposed to who the enemy is,
00:13:44.79\00:13:47.49
and showing how
they always have a plan.
00:13:47.52\00:13:52.29
God has His agenda,
00:13:52.33\00:13:54.13
and the enemy has his.
00:13:54.16\00:13:55.86
And we try to bring out,
00:13:55.90\00:13:57.63
you know, what God
wants to do in our lives,
00:13:57.67\00:14:01.30
and that's what this book
is about really, what's next?
00:14:01.34\00:14:04.44
We have a lot that's
going to be happening next.
00:14:04.47\00:14:07.41
But if we stay
connected to the Savior,
00:14:07.44\00:14:11.81
and we have
nothing to worry about.
00:14:11.85\00:14:13.72
Sure.
00:14:13.75\00:14:15.08
So why do bad things
happen to good people?
00:14:15.12\00:14:18.52
And then it's a great question.
00:14:18.55\00:14:20.46
And what we're trying to
do is to maybe, as she said,
00:14:20.49\00:14:23.93
exonerate God in the
court of public opinion,
00:14:23.96\00:14:28.30
because can I speak real bold
to the viewers for a second?
00:14:28.33\00:14:32.83
I'm going to have to lay a lot
of the blame on televangelists
00:14:32.87\00:14:36.87
for out preaching
the way they preach that,
00:14:36.91\00:14:41.44
you know, if you're a Christian,
00:14:41.48\00:14:42.81
you're healthy, wealthy,
00:14:42.84\00:14:44.18
and wise and
anything you say and you,
00:14:44.21\00:14:46.58
all the miracle healings
and all the stuff, God heals.
00:14:46.61\00:14:49.58
We've talked about that before,
00:14:49.62\00:14:51.39
but they make so light of it,
00:14:51.42\00:14:53.42
that Christianity is a
mockery to a lot of people
00:14:53.46\00:14:57.23
because they see
so much hypocrisy.
00:14:57.26\00:14:59.79
So they see so much
00:14:59.83\00:15:01.46
and they see
people teaching things
00:15:01.50\00:15:03.57
that it seems more
it's on a financial end
00:15:03.60\00:15:06.27
rather than on a spiritual end
00:15:06.30\00:15:08.20
from some of
these huge ministries
00:15:08.24\00:15:10.14
that are out there preaching.
00:15:10.17\00:15:11.51
So the truth is,
00:15:11.54\00:15:13.34
the Bible says the rain falls
00:15:13.38\00:15:14.88
on the just as
well as the unjust.
00:15:14.91\00:15:17.68
So what that means is,
just because I'm a Christian,
00:15:17.71\00:15:21.48
if I walk out
in front of a semi,
00:15:21.52\00:15:23.32
if I see a semi
coming down the highway,
00:15:23.35\00:15:25.62
I walk out in front of it,
00:15:25.65\00:15:26.99
you think I'm
going to be hit or not?
00:15:27.02\00:15:28.79
I'll be run over, right? Yes.
00:15:28.82\00:15:30.23
That'd be much said.
00:15:30.26\00:15:31.59
If a person is not a Christian
they walk out in front of it,
00:15:31.63\00:15:33.93
they're going to be hit?
00:15:33.96\00:15:35.30
Absolutely. Of course they will.
00:15:35.33\00:15:36.67
We walked outside and
there's a huge thunderstorm
00:15:36.70\00:15:39.03
or tornado,
00:15:39.07\00:15:40.40
we're now I'm in right
next to a non-Christian,
00:15:40.44\00:15:44.11
who's going to be hit?
00:15:44.14\00:15:45.47
Both of us, okay,
00:15:45.51\00:15:46.84
so what it is
they're saying well,
00:15:46.88\00:15:49.24
you know,
00:15:49.28\00:15:50.61
when you listen to
what's going out there
00:15:50.65\00:15:52.21
Yvonne, it makes Christianity
is almost God as a Santa Claus.
00:15:52.25\00:15:56.18
Well, all you got to do is pray
00:15:56.22\00:15:57.55
and you can do
this while He does that.
00:15:57.59\00:15:59.45
No, on this earth,
00:15:59.49\00:16:01.06
we go through
trials and tribulations
00:16:01.09\00:16:02.99
just like everybody else.
00:16:03.02\00:16:04.63
If you notice
all Christians die,
00:16:04.66\00:16:07.00
there's nobody here.
00:16:07.03\00:16:08.36
That's a lie that was here
00:16:08.40\00:16:09.76
120 years ago on
this earth, right?
00:16:09.80\00:16:12.00
Of the billions of people.
00:16:12.03\00:16:13.37
So that ought to
tell us something,
00:16:13.40\00:16:15.00
because these people
say, well, we're just praying,
00:16:15.04\00:16:16.57
you be healed.
00:16:16.60\00:16:17.94
Well then just keep doing that.
00:16:17.97\00:16:19.31
But I noticed even
all the faith healers die.
00:16:19.34\00:16:21.28
I don't mean to
sound ugly on that.
00:16:21.31\00:16:24.98
But that's that
kind of information
00:16:25.01\00:16:27.78
that's been disseminated
in such a worldwide,
00:16:27.82\00:16:31.45
you know, audience
00:16:31.49\00:16:33.05
that makes people
not have confidence,
00:16:33.09\00:16:35.86
and then when this
happens, I've said before,
00:16:35.89\00:16:38.16
if they're, all
these faith healers,
00:16:38.19\00:16:39.53
if that's true,
00:16:39.56\00:16:40.90
they should all be in
hospitals healing everybody
00:16:40.93\00:16:42.80
and this pandemic would be over.
00:16:42.83\00:16:44.70
So what we try to do is say
00:16:44.73\00:16:46.07
that's not the way God operates.
00:16:46.10\00:16:48.30
What happened is
00:16:48.34\00:16:49.67
we're separated from God by sin.
00:16:49.70\00:16:51.84
While we're on this
earth, we're going to reap,
00:16:51.87\00:16:54.08
we're going to get old.
00:16:54.11\00:16:55.44
Just look at me, I'm
lot, I started 35 years ago,
00:16:55.48\00:16:58.05
I look totally
different than I look now.
00:16:58.08\00:16:59.98
But praise the Lord.
00:17:00.02\00:17:01.35
You know, you don't
look that different.
00:17:01.38\00:17:02.72
No, he doesn't.
00:17:02.75\00:17:04.09
We need recorder
after the program.
00:17:04.12\00:17:06.65
But what happens
is so because of sin
00:17:06.69\00:17:10.73
that we're all going to die.
00:17:10.76\00:17:12.76
And so the Lord
says, "I have a plan.
00:17:12.79\00:17:16.50
I'm your Creator.
00:17:16.53\00:17:17.87
Heaven is not heaven
until My children are there."
00:17:17.90\00:17:21.20
So He says, all you
have to do is come to Me
00:17:21.24\00:17:24.57
because when we go
through all the scriptures,
00:17:24.61\00:17:26.81
it says, "For all have sinned
00:17:26.84\00:17:28.18
and come short of
the glory of God."
00:17:28.21\00:17:30.28
But it says, "If
I confess my sins,"
00:17:30.31\00:17:32.95
1 John 1:9,
00:17:32.98\00:17:34.32
"If I confess my sins,
00:17:34.35\00:17:35.68
God is faithful
00:17:35.72\00:17:37.05
and just to
forgive me for my sins,
00:17:37.09\00:17:38.42
and to cleanse me
from all unrighteousness."
00:17:38.45\00:17:41.52
So all I have to do is
say, "Lord, I'm a sinner,
00:17:41.56\00:17:44.49
and I ask You to save me."
00:17:44.53\00:17:46.73
So you don't
have to know anything.
00:17:46.76\00:17:48.56
You don't have to
memorize the Bible.
00:17:48.60\00:17:50.70
None of that, you
simply so what I did was,
00:17:50.73\00:17:54.14
let's get this
out by the millions.
00:17:54.17\00:17:56.20
Let's put this
out in the millions
00:17:56.24\00:17:57.87
because never in my lifetime
00:17:57.91\00:18:00.74
has so many millions of
people been sitting at home
00:18:00.78\00:18:04.58
because you're out of
work, you can't go to work
00:18:04.61\00:18:06.68
and with social distancing,
00:18:06.72\00:18:08.88
not too many people are outside.
00:18:08.92\00:18:10.72
So what can we
do to reach people
00:18:10.75\00:18:13.05
in their homes
00:18:13.09\00:18:14.59
at a time when
they're most susceptible,
00:18:14.62\00:18:17.03
most interested in
hearing the gospel?
00:18:17.06\00:18:19.26
So let's say
you're sitting at home,
00:18:19.29\00:18:21.90
you don't know what's going on.
00:18:21.93\00:18:23.26
See, a Christian has
peace in the midst of the storm.
00:18:23.30\00:18:26.03
We're going to go
through the same storm
00:18:26.07\00:18:27.90
that person is not a Christian,
00:18:27.94\00:18:29.90
but we have peace and they don't
00:18:29.94\00:18:31.54
because we know the outcome.
00:18:31.57\00:18:33.07
Revelation says they win.
00:18:33.11\00:18:34.81
So that's what it's all about.
00:18:34.84\00:18:36.18
We've read the back of the book.
00:18:36.21\00:18:37.55
Read the back of the
book and it says, we win.
00:18:37.58\00:18:39.91
And they
overcame Him by the Satan,
00:18:39.95\00:18:41.75
by the blood of the Lamb
and the word of the testimony.
00:18:41.78\00:18:44.25
So what could we do
00:18:44.29\00:18:45.62
to get this into the
hands of millions of people?
00:18:45.65\00:18:48.09
Now, let's say
you're out of work, Jay.
00:18:48.12\00:18:50.23
You don't know the Lord,
00:18:50.26\00:18:51.59
you have no idea
what's happening.
00:18:51.63\00:18:53.53
Your relatives have
died people, you know,
00:18:53.56\00:18:56.00
you're worried about yourself
00:18:56.03\00:18:57.37
and this shows up in
the mail with 10 other bills
00:18:57.40\00:18:59.83
or whatever
because you're not working
00:18:59.87\00:19:01.57
and things are happening
00:19:01.60\00:19:03.20
and you look at
it and it's bright,
00:19:03.24\00:19:05.11
it says, "After
COVID-19, what next?"
00:19:05.14\00:19:07.74
Shows an ambulance
00:19:07.78\00:19:09.11
and somebody on the
stretcher getting ready.
00:19:09.14\00:19:11.75
You think you probably
going to look through this?
00:19:11.78\00:19:13.48
Oh, I'm going to
read that for sure.
00:19:13.52\00:19:14.85
You're going to look through it.
00:19:14.88\00:19:16.22
So what we've done is
we've asked our viewers,
00:19:16.25\00:19:18.42
said, look if you
pay for the printing,
00:19:18.45\00:19:20.62
you know help
us raise the money,
00:19:20.66\00:19:22.12
it's only like 15 cents
00:19:22.16\00:19:23.49
so you can get like six
books or so for $1 actually,
00:19:23.53\00:19:26.86
but what I've been doing
is trying to get individuals
00:19:26.90\00:19:29.60
who would donate
money for the printing
00:19:29.63\00:19:31.93
and then people for zip code.
00:19:31.97\00:19:33.70
So people who want to send in,
00:19:33.74\00:19:35.50
it's literally you can
send two of these books
00:19:35.54\00:19:38.17
to zip code of your choice
00:19:38.21\00:19:39.87
for less than the
price of one stamp.
00:19:39.91\00:19:41.81
Wow, that's
incredible, you can't beat that.
00:19:41.84\00:19:45.48
It really is.
00:19:45.51\00:19:46.85
And you can't put
a price on the soul.
00:19:46.88\00:19:49.25
So four for a dollar.
00:19:49.28\00:19:50.62
In other words,
if you donate $500,
00:19:50.65\00:19:52.45
that's 2,000 homes,
00:19:52.49\00:19:54.16
this book will go into
00:19:54.19\00:19:55.89
because others
are raising the money
00:19:55.92\00:19:57.96
or paying for the printing
00:19:57.99\00:19:59.53
and for those of you
00:19:59.56\00:20:01.06
that we're asking you
to do one or the other.
00:20:01.10\00:20:02.83
Now, at the time of this taping,
00:20:02.86\00:20:05.07
we're almost 4 million orders.
00:20:05.10\00:20:08.17
We've had 3
million books printed up.
00:20:08.20\00:20:10.94
And we have money to
pay for about three million,
00:20:10.97\00:20:13.38
but we don't have
for the next four.
00:20:13.41\00:20:15.61
So we're asking people,
please help with the printing,
00:20:15.64\00:20:18.08
because we've got
orders for almost 4 million,
00:20:18.11\00:20:20.62
but we have enough money
00:20:20.65\00:20:21.98
that's paying for the
first 3 million printed
00:20:22.02\00:20:24.35
if I make sure I
get that straight.
00:20:24.39\00:20:26.39
So we're really asking for
help in the printing right now,
00:20:26.42\00:20:29.62
because we already have people
00:20:29.66\00:20:31.46
who've sent money that
said, cover this zip code.
00:20:31.49\00:20:34.10
So what happens is,
00:20:34.13\00:20:35.56
if you want to
give the zip codes
00:20:35.60\00:20:36.97
in your area, your town,
00:20:37.00\00:20:38.83
then you can
call us here at 3ABN,
00:20:38.87\00:20:41.97
and they'll tell
you how you can do it.
00:20:42.00\00:20:43.81
And they have a way
of looking up your area
00:20:43.84\00:20:45.87
and saying, okay,
there's X amount of zip codes.
00:20:45.91\00:20:48.44
And so when they do,
00:20:48.48\00:20:49.81
then they can tell
you what it would cost
00:20:49.84\00:20:51.28
to cover certain zip code.
00:20:51.31\00:20:53.05
But what we're
really looking for now
00:20:53.08\00:20:54.65
also is if you say
give $100 for zip codes,
00:20:54.68\00:20:58.95
maybe you could give
$100 say for printing,
00:20:58.99\00:21:01.82
because we're actually
00:21:01.86\00:21:03.19
running behind
on printing money.
00:21:03.22\00:21:05.03
And so, but 3 million of
these are already printed,
00:21:05.06\00:21:08.66
they're into going
into the homes all over.
00:21:08.70\00:21:11.53
And we have half a million
00:21:11.57\00:21:13.00
being printed in
Spanish right now.
00:21:13.03\00:21:15.37
And so we've got orders
as far as way as Australian,
00:21:15.40\00:21:18.34
we're still trying to
work out how best to do that
00:21:18.37\00:21:21.04
and get it from
Norway from Russia.
00:21:21.08\00:21:24.58
They've already printed it,
00:21:24.61\00:21:25.95
or I think yes,
printed in Russian.
00:21:25.98\00:21:28.45
And so numerous languages,
00:21:28.48\00:21:30.82
I think Norwegian
00:21:30.85\00:21:32.19
maybe they're asking
about doing this up there.
00:21:32.22\00:21:34.62
So numerous
languages, but we actually,
00:21:34.66\00:21:37.46
we just need
your help in doing it.
00:21:37.49\00:21:38.99
So does it tell everything
if you're an Adventist,
00:21:39.03\00:21:42.63
it says the 28 fundamental,
no, not all in here,
00:21:42.66\00:21:45.80
is the main fundamental belief
00:21:45.83\00:21:47.40
that how you
understand who Jesus is,
00:21:47.44\00:21:50.27
and you become a Christian.
00:21:50.31\00:21:51.64
But good news on the back page,
00:21:51.67\00:21:54.01
the whole back page tells you
00:21:54.04\00:21:56.08
how you can get
the rest of the story.
00:21:56.11\00:21:58.41
Paul Harvey used to say...
00:21:58.45\00:21:59.78
Yeah, yeah. Right.
00:21:59.81\00:22:01.15
Now we're going on page
two, we'll go to the next story.
00:22:01.18\00:22:03.12
But this says 3ABN,
mending broken people.
00:22:03.15\00:22:06.25
All of these are ways
you can watch or listen
00:22:06.29\00:22:09.26
or go on the
internet or get Roku,
00:22:09.29\00:22:11.49
all of these cable, Amazon Fire,
00:22:11.53\00:22:14.30
you know, whatever
app, all of that is in here.
00:22:14.33\00:22:17.53
So for that amount of
money, so what's happened?
00:22:17.57\00:22:20.24
This is going in as
a piece of literature
00:22:20.27\00:22:23.00
to help people to
understand who God is.
00:22:23.04\00:22:26.54
And He's a God who
loves them, who died for us,
00:22:26.57\00:22:29.34
made a plan of salvation for us,
00:22:29.38\00:22:30.91
is coming back very
soon in the clouds of glory.
00:22:30.95\00:22:34.15
And then, they can find
out they want more information,
00:22:34.18\00:22:37.62
they're going to
be able to find out
00:22:37.65\00:22:38.99
how to get in
communications with 3ABN
00:22:39.02\00:22:41.32
so, I'm talking quickly
00:22:41.36\00:22:42.82
because the time
is short for you too.
00:22:42.86\00:22:45.26
Well, the other thing is,
00:22:45.29\00:22:46.63
you know, a lot
of times you wonder,
00:22:46.66\00:22:49.23
what can I do for the Lord,
00:22:49.26\00:22:50.77
especially now?
00:22:50.80\00:22:52.13
I can't go outside. I
can't do this or that.
00:22:52.17\00:22:54.24
Well, guess what?
00:22:54.27\00:22:55.60
All you have to do
is pick up your phone
00:22:55.64\00:22:58.17
and call 3ABN (618) 627-4651
00:22:58.21\00:23:03.48
and you can call or
you can go on the website,
00:23:03.51\00:23:07.48
3abn.tv.
00:23:07.52\00:23:09.28
Actually donate on the website.
00:23:09.32\00:23:10.65
You can donate on the website...
00:23:10.69\00:23:12.22
For COVID-19. Either way.
00:23:12.25\00:23:14.29
But there's no excuse
00:23:14.32\00:23:15.82
because you don't have
to leave home to do this.
00:23:15.86\00:23:19.33
But yet you can impact
someone's life for eternity.
00:23:19.36\00:23:22.73
And that's
what, you know, to me,
00:23:22.76\00:23:25.27
the beauty of
this is that someone
00:23:25.30\00:23:27.64
is going to more than one,
00:23:27.67\00:23:29.84
but someone is going
to read this and say,
00:23:29.87\00:23:32.57
"You know what?
00:23:32.61\00:23:34.04
Maybe that's what's been missing
00:23:34.08\00:23:35.64
from my life all this time.
00:23:35.68\00:23:37.91
I need to find out
more about this Jesus,
00:23:37.95\00:23:40.52
who is He really,
00:23:40.55\00:23:42.62
and what is He
really done for me."
00:23:42.65\00:23:44.32
And it can lead
people to the throne,
00:23:44.35\00:23:47.59
it can lead them to heaven.
00:23:47.62\00:23:49.49
Ultimately, you can
change your life for eternity
00:23:49.52\00:23:52.83
just by ordering these
books and having them sent.
00:23:52.86\00:23:56.30
You don't have to do anything.
00:23:56.33\00:23:57.67
We'll make a phone
call and it's record,
00:23:57.70\00:23:59.37
like to me it's a no brainer,
because the Lord wants us to,
00:23:59.40\00:24:05.14
who's, go ye...
00:24:05.17\00:24:06.51
Yeah, into all the world.
00:24:06.54\00:24:07.88
Who into all the world.
00:24:07.91\00:24:09.24
Who is the ye as Danny says.
00:24:09.28\00:24:11.18
Who's the ye? We're all ye.
00:24:11.21\00:24:13.45
We are to go
into the whole world.
00:24:13.48\00:24:15.48
And so that's what we
can do with this booklet
00:24:15.52\00:24:18.85
and make a difference in
people's lives for eternity.
00:24:18.89\00:24:21.99
The Bible says
where sin abounds,
00:24:22.02\00:24:23.89
grace does abound much more.
00:24:23.93\00:24:25.99
And this is the greatest
evangelistic opportunity
00:24:26.03\00:24:29.03
in 35 years of ministry.
00:24:29.06\00:24:31.30
I can tell you that,
00:24:31.33\00:24:32.67
I've never seen this type
00:24:32.70\00:24:34.77
because once again
we'll go back to the term
00:24:34.80\00:24:36.47
we said earlier, everybody
00:24:36.50\00:24:38.54
and very seldom you ever say,
00:24:38.57\00:24:40.24
when I could say
00:24:40.28\00:24:41.61
everybody's doing such and such
00:24:41.64\00:24:42.98
when millions of
people watching ballgames,
00:24:43.01\00:24:44.95
million people on cruises,
millions are working, millions.
00:24:44.98\00:24:48.05
Now literally,
00:24:48.08\00:24:49.42
everybody's thinking about this.
00:24:49.45\00:24:51.15
Literally everybody in the world
00:24:51.19\00:24:52.55
and you're having
to measure yourself
00:24:52.59\00:24:55.86
about your finality.
00:24:55.89\00:24:57.36
And what does
happen after death?
00:24:57.39\00:24:59.06
I have guaranteed
00:24:59.09\00:25:00.43
that there are people wondering,
00:25:00.46\00:25:01.80
I wonder if there
is life after death.
00:25:01.83\00:25:03.50
You know what is
going to happen now
00:25:03.53\00:25:05.13
because so many folk are dying.
00:25:05.17\00:25:06.80
You just lost your cousin.
00:25:06.84\00:25:08.40
Yes, my first
cousin Gregory Hodge
00:25:08.44\00:25:11.27
and he died with
suddenly, from COVID-19.
00:25:11.31\00:25:16.75
He was healthy.
00:25:16.78\00:25:18.11
It's been on a lot of
different news outlets
00:25:18.15\00:25:20.28
because he was
a first responder,
00:25:20.32\00:25:22.48
he was 911, he was a hero.
00:25:22.52\00:25:24.15
They call them the
legend in his department
00:25:24.19\00:25:26.86
at the office of emergency.
00:25:26.89\00:25:29.66
Yeah, Office of
Emergency Medicine
00:25:29.69\00:25:31.76
and in for New York,
00:25:31.79\00:25:33.43
New York City so you know.
00:25:33.46\00:25:35.26
But Gregory knew the Lord.
00:25:35.30\00:25:37.60
And so I'm so thankful
that this is not the end.
00:25:37.63\00:25:41.34
That one day when Jesus
comes, right now He's resting.
00:25:41.37\00:25:45.04
Gregory's resting
in Jesus, but one day,
00:25:45.07\00:25:47.44
we'll all be able
to be together forever.
00:25:47.48\00:25:49.78
And hopefully many of the people
00:25:49.81\00:25:51.41
who've received this
booklet in the mail will be,
00:25:51.45\00:25:55.95
we'll all be together forever.
00:25:55.98\00:25:57.99
So when we can't go to church
00:25:58.02\00:25:59.85
because we're not
allowed to go to church
00:25:59.89\00:26:01.56
and meet people,
00:26:01.59\00:26:03.16
what are we going
to do to do our part
00:26:03.19\00:26:05.19
because what
happens we can get lazy.
00:26:05.23\00:26:07.33
We don't go to
church, we forget it.
00:26:07.36\00:26:09.06
But this just gives
you an opportunity to say,
00:26:09.10\00:26:10.83
you know what?
00:26:10.87\00:26:12.20
I want to
sponsor printing books,
00:26:12.23\00:26:14.07
I want to sponsor zip
codes, I want to help in this.
00:26:14.10\00:26:16.67
So you can do it from your home.
00:26:16.71\00:26:18.44
And all you have to
do is go to our website
00:26:18.47\00:26:20.21
or call our phone numbers,
00:26:20.24\00:26:21.61
and you can find
out how to do it.
00:26:21.64\00:26:23.18
And again,
00:26:23.21\00:26:24.55
these are only
about 15 cents to print
00:26:24.58\00:26:26.11
but the mailing is
25 cents, or 4 for $1.
00:26:26.15\00:26:29.05
So if you want
to give $100, 500,
00:26:29.08\00:26:31.65
some folk have given 1,000,
you can do that for printing,
00:26:31.69\00:26:34.86
or you can divide
it half for printing,
00:26:34.89\00:26:36.79
half for zip codes
00:26:36.83\00:26:38.16
and give us the
area where you live,
00:26:38.19\00:26:39.86
and we'll get it out.
00:26:39.89\00:26:41.23
So this allows each of us
00:26:41.26\00:26:42.76
to still do evangelism
to get millions of these.
00:26:42.80\00:26:46.53
So far,
00:26:46.57\00:26:47.90
three and a half
million are being printed.
00:26:47.94\00:26:49.27
And we hope that
several million more are
00:26:49.30\00:26:51.37
and we've got to catch up
00:26:51.41\00:26:52.91
because we're three quarter
almost a million in ahead of
00:26:52.94\00:26:56.81
what we have to print.
00:26:56.85\00:26:58.55
Yes, well I
hope that our viewers
00:26:58.58\00:27:01.52
will get behind
this and support it
00:27:01.55\00:27:03.15
because I mean,
you really don't,
00:27:03.18\00:27:04.65
you don't have to
get up off your couch.
00:27:04.69\00:27:06.25
That's right.
00:27:06.29\00:27:07.62
You don't have to
go to the mailbox.
00:27:07.66\00:27:09.56
Just pick up the
phone, call (618)-627-4651.
00:27:09.59\00:27:14.96
Follow the prompts
to the call center,
00:27:15.00\00:27:16.80
talk to them and go ahead
and support this great cause
00:27:16.83\00:27:20.54
because you don't
know whose soul will be won
00:27:20.57\00:27:23.41
for God's kingdom.
00:27:23.44\00:27:25.01
Do you guys have any
final thoughts real quick?
00:27:25.04\00:27:28.88
I just know
00:27:28.91\00:27:30.25
that there is a
blessing in giving.
00:27:30.28\00:27:32.95
There's a blessing for
you in sharing the gospel
00:27:32.98\00:27:35.75
and knowing that
you have done something
00:27:35.78\00:27:38.12
for someone else
00:27:38.15\00:27:39.49
that is going to change
their lives for eternity.
00:27:39.52\00:27:42.06
You won't know here,
but you'll know one day.
00:27:42.09\00:27:45.13
Absolutely.
00:27:45.16\00:27:46.49
Well, thank you guys so
much for coming on the program
00:27:46.53\00:27:49.40
and writing this great
booklet in such a time as this
00:27:49.43\00:27:52.60
and thank you for joining us.
00:27:52.63\00:27:53.97
Until next time, may
God continue to bless you.
00:27:54.00\00:27:57.01
