00:01 We've been singing and testifying
00:02 about trusting God and obeying God. 00:06 And those are two things that we here at 3ABN 00:11 are very familiar with trusting, 00:14 this is a faith ministry 00:15 and we are totally dependent on God 00:18 through His people. 00:21 And so trust is great. 00:22 We've got, we're continuing to always daily work on that. 00:27 Obeying is definitely on our radar. 00:30 We're constantly looking for opportunities to obey 00:34 and to follow God as He leads us, 00:36 and we are always praying that he makes our hearts tender 00:39 to hear His voice, 00:41 and one of my great friends Jill Morikone is here 00:46 and it is a sweet, sweet privilege 00:49 to have you with me, 00:50 and I just want you to give us 00:53 a bit of a outline, a bit of a, 00:56 some developments on a great movement 01:01 that we have here called the "Blessing Is On the Go". 01:05 Is that right? That's right. 01:06 The Blessing Is On the Go. Right. 01:08 It's a privilege to share with the E.T 01:11 and with you Brother Tim, 01:12 and with you at home our 3ABN family. 01:15 I just, I'm been so blessed, 01:16 I was sitting in the control room 01:18 just before I came out and I heard the song, 01:20 I heard your testimony E.T of what God wants to do 01:23 in each one of our lives. 01:25 And I think that's what God wants to do 01:27 with you all. 01:29 He wants to change us. 01:31 He wants to make us into the image of Jesus. 01:34 He wants to transform us. 01:36 He wants to change us 01:38 so that then we are empowered to go out and change others. 01:41 That's what the gospel's about. 01:43 I think of the great commission Matthew 28:18-20, 01:47 Jesus said, this is right before He went to heaven, 01:49 you know, He walked those three and a half years 01:51 with His disciples 01:52 and right before He went to heaven, 01:54 He said, "All power is given me in heaven and earth, 01:57 go you therefore." 01:58 Go ye, my King James Version says. 02:01 I grew up on King James, 02:02 and probably it says go you now, 02:04 but the blessing is on the go. 02:06 Go therefore and make disciples. 02:09 Teach, share about Jesus Christ 02:12 and that's what the Blessing Is On The Go movement, 02:15 the Blessing Is On The Go initiative is all about. 02:18 It's about going and sharing what Jesus has done. 02:22 That's what this ministry has done 02:23 for 32 years. 02:26 It has shared the gospel, 02:28 the undiluted Three Angels' Messages 02:31 with the lost and dying world. 02:32 So as you at home partner with us here at 3ABN, 02:37 a monthly donation of any size, 02:39 you know, some people, this just touched my heart, 02:42 a woman from Spain wrote in 02:44 and she is part of The Blessing Is On the Go, 02:46 so she sends her money in, is that euros? 02:49 Whatever denomination, 02:51 monetary denomination they use overseas. 02:54 And she sends her money and then 02:55 she sends it in and of course, 02:57 we change it here into US dollars. 03:00 I was going to say tacos, not euros or tacos. 03:04 I don't know what it is. Exactly. 03:06 So she sends it in, and she's written us 03:09 a couple times in the office and saying, I'm so excited. 03:12 She does not even have internet at home 03:15 because money is tight 03:17 and yet she sacrifices every month 03:21 to send to the ministry so that the gospel, 03:24 go you therefore and make disciples. 03:27 The gospel can go all around the world. 03:30 It's such an incredible testimony. 03:33 This year, 2017 is the year of sacrifice. 03:37 Danny said it out at our day of prayer 03:39 this year as sacrificing. 03:40 I think, I don't sacrifice in a manner like that 03:44 in my own heart in life. 03:46 And I think, 03:47 especially as we near the close of time, 03:50 we know Jesus is going to come. 03:52 And God is calling me, 03:54 each one of us to make more of a sacrifice, 03:57 to make more of a 100% total surrender of our heart, 04:03 of our life to the Lord Jesus Christ. 04:06 So as you partner with us, as Blessing Is on the Go, 04:09 we have a certificate that Danny signs 04:12 The Blessing Is on the Go certificate, 04:14 they crossed my desk. 04:17 People call in, they say, "I want to sign up," 04:19 and then they come across the desk 04:20 and Danny signs each one. 04:22 And we send you your certificate, 04:24 we send his book "The Blessing Is on the Go", 04:27 filled with miracle stories of what God is doing. 04:30 How God wants to use us in ministry. 04:32 And then we do a monthly evangelistic tool, 04:35 and that is a way that you at home can be part, 04:39 you can take that tool, it's a DVD, it's a CD, 04:42 it could be music, it could be a sermon, 04:44 you can take that to your neighbors, 04:46 to your family, to your friends and say, 04:49 "Listen to this," 04:50 and this way you are being part, 04:52 you are doing outreach in your local area 04:54 but yet it's still blessing 04:57 and ministering to the outreach here at 3ABN. 05:00 You know, we have what over 3,000 people 05:03 already signed up for The Blessing Is on the Go. 05:06 And it's so exciting to see God move. 05:09 I think of a prisoner who wrote in. 05:11 He's from California. 05:13 And I don't even know if I'm allowed to say his name 05:15 but he sent a picture, 05:17 he is a part of The Blessing Is on the Go 05:18 and a picture of his certificate. 05:21 He gives $5 a month 05:23 out of his whatever he gets his allowance there. 05:25 He gives $5 a month and every month 05:28 we send him an evangelistic tool 05:31 and he puts it in the prison library 05:33 because then the other inmates can check it out. 05:38 And they can learn about Jesus, and so you might say, 05:42 "Hey, I can't get out" 05:45 you know, one woman I spoke to her, 05:48 her husband is bedridden and he can't get out. 05:53 And he said, 05:54 "People come to visit me and when they come, 05:56 I give him that month's tool. 05:59 And I say, "Watch this, listen to this. 06:02 I want to bless your heart with this." 06:05 And then when they come back the next time they return it, 06:08 and he gives it to somebody else. 06:10 And so whether you're in prison or in the bed or sick 06:14 or can't get out or don't have a lot of money, 06:17 God can still use you. 06:20 He wants to use all of us... 06:21 He does. 06:22 Yeah, He surely does. Yeah, in His service. 06:24 Sweet. 06:26 What a great movement 06:29 and a great way to share your faith 06:30 and a great way to support the ministry of 3ABN. 06:36 There's a wonderful hymn that, 06:38 I have to admit, 06:40 I am unfamiliar with. 06:45 I know a lot of hymns but this is one that... 06:48 I know the melody somewhat but, I'm just going to ask Jill 06:53 if you'll read the first verse 06:55 and then E.T if you'll read the second verse, 06:58 and I'll play the melody. 06:59 And if you know it at home, 07:01 feel free to sing along as they read 07:03 but capture the words because the message, 07:06 of course, is in the lyrics and so. 07:10 Go ahead Jill. 07:12 It may not be on the mountain's height 07:15 or over the stormy sea, 07:18 it may not be at the battles front, 07:21 my lord will have need of me, 07:24 but if by a still small voice, he cause. 07:28 To pass I do not know all answers dear Lord, 07:32 with my hand in thine, 07:35 I'll go where you want me to go. 08:14 Wow. 08:21 Perhaps the day 08:23 there are loving words 08:24 where Jesus would have me speak, 08:26 me speak. 08:28 He chooses me. 08:30 There may be now, in the paths of sin, 08:33 some wanderer who I should seek. 08:37 Oh, Savior, if thou would be my guide, 08:40 if I listen to you and do your way 08:43 through dark and rugged the way 08:46 or though dark and rugged the way, 08:47 my voice shall echo, thy message sweet. 08:52 I'll say what you want me to say. 08:55 I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, 08:59 over that mountain or plain or sea 09:01 or just sitting in home 09:04 and I'll say what you want me to say, 09:07 dear Lord. 09:09 And I'll be 09:11 what you want me to be and that is to be like Christ, 09:14 like He said. 09:16 I'll go where you want me to go 09:20 Dear Lord, 09:22 Over mountain or plain or sea 09:28 I'll say what You want me to say 09:33 Dear Lord, 09:34 I'll be what You want me to be 09:40 Sing that again. 09:41 I'll go where you want me to go 09:46 Dear Lord, 09:48 Over mountain or plain or sea 09:53 I'll say what you want me to say 09:58 Dear Lord, 10:00 I'll be what You want me to be 10:08 I'll be 10:10 What You want me to be 11:07 I have decided 11:13 To follow Jesus 11:18 I have decided 11:22 To follow Jesus 11:27 I have decided 11:31 To follow Jesus 11:36 No turning back 11:41 No turning back 11:48 Though none will follow still I will follow 11:56 Though none go with me 11:59 Still I will follow 12:03 Though none go with me 12:07 Still I will follow 12:11 There's no turning back 12:16 No turning back 12:35 I can hear my savior calling 12:42 I can hear my savior calling 12:49 I can hear my savior calling 12:55 Take thy cross 12:57 And follow 13:00 Follow me 13:06 Where He leads me I will follow 13:14 Where He leads me I will follow 13:19 Where He leads me I will follow 13:27 I'll go with Him 13:30 With him all the way 13:45 I'll go with Him through the water 13:51 I'll go with Him through the garden 13:56 I'll go with Him to dark Calvary 14:03 I'll go with Him 14:07 With Him all the way 14:15 He will give me grace and glory 14:22 He will give me grace and glory 14:28 He will give me grace and glory 14:34 If I'll just follow 14:38 Follow all the way 14:44 So if you've decided at home that you'll gonna follow Him, 14:47 then make this your prayer. 14:49 Where He leads me I will follow 14:55 Where He leads me I will follow 15:01 Where He leads me 15:04 I will follow 15:10 I'll go with Him 15:14 With Him 15:17 All 15:20 The way 15:34 Let me just encourage you 15:36 if you're on the border, on the fences, 15:39 they say, "Once you choose, make that choice." 15:43 That's the key, the choice. 15:44 It's all uphill from there, in that it's all going up, 15:51 it's not going down, it's not a down thing, 15:54 it's not giving up anything because to follow Christ, 15:58 to surrender and to do all the things 16:00 that we've been talking about, obeying that is just... 16:04 You're relying on Him and so, once it's Him 16:07 then you're hidden with Christ 16:10 and that's our goal as children of God 16:13 to be just hidden in Christ 16:14 and to go where He wants us to go, 16:16 to follow His leading, to follow His voice. 16:18 And, man, what a delightful place to be. 16:23 It sure is. Yeah. 16:24 It surely is. It's free. 16:25 That is freedom. It's that choice. 16:27 Yeah. 16:28 You break over into that choice, 16:30 don't go by emotion or feeling but go by the choice, 16:34 then the emotion will come with the choice. 16:37 You'll feel that 16:39 special feeling that He gives you. 16:40 And the abundant blessings God has in store 16:42 when you make that choice. 16:44 And the favor. Yeah. 16:45 Danny always says, "The favor is on the go." 16:48 Right, exactly. 16:49 I love that you have been with me, 16:52 E.T.
