ELECTRONIC CONTROLS THAT WE 12:00 MANUFACTURE ARE INSTALLED IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FACTORY 12:04 ASSEMBLY LINES, AND THAT'S A PRODUCT WE DESIGN AND 12:09 MANUFACTURE HERE IN NORTH AMERICA AND DISTRIBUTE 12:13 THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD 12:15 >> CURTIS, THIS SIGNED LIKE A HIGH-TECH COMPANY AND WITH 12:24 HIGH-TECH EMPLOYERS. AMBER, WHAT YOUR JOB AT THE 12:28 PLANT AND WHAT DO YOU DO? >> I AM AN ASSEMBLY TECHNICIAN, 12:33 AND I HAVE BEEN HERE THREE AND A HALF YEARS NOW. 12:35 >> WHAT IS YOUR JOURNEY IN THIS THING? 12:38 YOU HAVE KIND OF COME TO THIS POINT WITH AN INTERESTING 12:42 JOURNEY. THAT'S THE STORY WE ARE SHARING 12:45 TODAY. FOUR YEARS AGO, WHAT WAS YOUR 12:47 LIFE LIKE? >> FOUR YEARS AGO, I WAS LIVING 12:50 ON THE STREETS. JUST ABOUT MOTHER'S DAY, I 12:55 WANTED TO GET CLEAN FOR MOTHER'S DAY, WE HAD A DINNER PLANNED. 13:04 SO, I DID. GOD INTERVENED IN MY LIFE AND 13:09 TOOK MY DOWN A VERY DIFFERENT PATH 13:11 >> SO, YOU ARE LIVING ON THE STREET, USING DRUGS, GET CLEAN 13:20 AND TAKE OUT YOUR MOTHER. CURTIS HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED 13:23 IN THIS STORY? >> AMBER CAME TO VISIT OUR 13:29 CHURCH, AND SO GOTTEN TO KNOW THAT AMBER MAY BE HAD A FEW-NEEDS GETTING READY FOR WINTER. 13:39 OUR CHURCH FAMILY WENT TO HER HOUSE TO GET THE HOUSE READY FOR 13:45 WINTER. SPENDING TIME, THE DAY WE WERE 13:47 HELPING AT AMBER'S HOUSE. WE SAW MAY BE THERE WAS A REAL 13:53 DESIRE TO MAKE A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE, JUST TO MAKE A CLEAN 14:00 BREAK-IN HER LIFE IN TERMS WHAT SHE WAS DOING. 14:03 WE OFFERED AMBER A JOB HERE, TO TRY IT OUT. 14:06 SEEING HOW SOME OF THE ASSEMBLY WORK WOULD WORK FOR HER. 14:12 FOUR YEARS LATER, SHE IS ONE OF OUR TOP ASSEMBLY TECHNICIANS 14:20 >> HOW DOES A COMPANY GET A CULTURE LIKE THAT, AND WHAT IS 14:23 THE CULTURE OF YOUR COMPANY TO THAT LEADS YOU TO DO THINGS LIKE 14:29 THAT? >> WE DO DESIGN AND BUILD 14:33 ELECTRONICS, BUT WE BELIEVE WE ARE HERE TO DO MUCH MORE THAN 14:37 THAT. GOD IS DESIGNED ALL OF US TO BE 14:39 SERVING AND GIVING. WE EXPERIENCED THAT IN OUR OWN 14:43 FAMILY, IN SERVING. A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES WITH OUR 14:48 LOCAL CHURCH AND SO ON. IT IS SOMETHING WE WANT ALL OUR 14:52 EMPLOYEES TO EXPERIENCE THAT JOY, AS WELL, IN GIVING. 14:57 THIS HAS BECOME PART OF OUR CULTURE, AND AMBER HAS BECOME A 15:02 BIG PART OF THAT IN GROWING THAT CULTURE. 15:05 >> AMBER, YOU'RE NOT JUST AN ASSEMBLY TECHNICIAN, YOU ARE 15:10 ALSO THE COORDINATOR OUT REACH PROGRAM AT SPIDER CONTROLS, FOUR 15:17 YEARS AGO, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? 15:20 >> WHAT IS SPIDER CONTROL DOING IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TO REACH 15:24 OUT IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY? >> WELL, I CAN SHOW WHAT WE ARE 15:30 WORKING ON THIS MONTH. WE HAVE A VOW INDIVIDUAL CARE 15:36 PACK. A COUPLE PAIRS OF LOVES, MASKS 15:38 IN THERE AND SOME HAND SANITIZE ERRS. 15:55 >> WE HAVE A BUNCH OF PROJECTS, ARE ARE YOU DOING ONE EVERY 16:00 MONTH OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? >> WE DO. 16:03 WE HAVE POTLUCK, AND THINK OF ANYWAYS WE CAN HELP THE 16:08 COMMUNITY, AND I USUALLY HAVE A NEW IDEA LINED UP FOR THE GROUP. 16:14 ONE OF THE ONES WE DID, AS SOON AS WE HEARD ABOUT COULD HE 16:18 INDIVIDUAL AND THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, WE DID A FOOD DRIVE. 16:23 DRESS FOR SUCCESS, IS A COMPANY IN RED DEER, FOR WOMEN LOOKING 16:28 FOR WORK, WE BOUGHT THEM A PRINTER AND INC. BEFORE THE 16:36 LADIES GO TO INTERVIEWS. >>> WE ALSO DO THINGS FOR RONALD 16:44 McNESS DONALD HOUSE, AND CURTIS HAS HELPED US A-- 16:50 >> I AM JUST REALLY IMPRESSED BY ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE DOING 16:54 MANY A BETTER, AS WELL AS SPIDER CONTROLS IS DOING. 17:02 CURTIS, LET ME BRING THIS QUESTION BACK TO YOU. 17:06 HOW HAS THIS INFLUENCED YOUR FAMILY, YOU HAVE BEEN INVOLVED 17:09 FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, AND YOU ARE A -- HOW HAS THIS IDEA OF 17:14 USING YOUR BUSINESS AS A PLATFORM FOR MINISTRY CHANGED 17:18 THE LIFE AND IMPACTED YOUR FAMILY? 17:22 >> SO, THROUGH AASI, ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS AGO, IT IS WHERE 17:32 WE GAINED A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES HOW BUSINESS CAN MAKE A 17:37 DIFFERENCE IN THE MARKETPLACE AND WORLD. 17:39 IT HAS REALLY SHAPED THE WAY OUR BUSINESS SHAPES. 17:44 WHAT EXISTS AND WHAT MOTIVATES TO CONTINUE US BEING IN 17:48 BUSINESS, NOT JUST TO BE BUSINESS TO BE GROWING AND 17:52 PROFITABLE, BUT USING ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE, WHETHER 17:54 IT IS IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY INVOLVING OUR STAFF IN THAT, AND 17:59 REALLY LOOKING AT DIFFERENT MISSION OPPORTUNITIES AROUND THE 18:03 WORLD. >>> IT HAS BEEN JUST A JOY, NOT 18:07 ONLY FOR OUR FAMILY BUT AS STAFF AND TEAM MEMBER HERE AT SPIDER 18:13 CONTROLS. >> THANK YOU, CURTIS. 18:15 WHAT A BLESSING. >> THIS MEMBERS IN ACTION, 18:19 NOTHING CAN SAY ANYTHING BUT PRAISE THE LORD. 18:21 WHAT CURTIS IS A BIBLICAL PRINCIPAL, ROMANS 4:17, GOD WHO 18:31 GIVES LIFE TO THE DEAD AND CALLS THOSE THINGS WHICH EXIST. 18:36 EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO AMBER, THE FAITH OF JESUS, CURTIS THAT 18:41 FAITH HE PUT IN HER, WAS INSPIRED BY THE WORD. 18:46 PRAISE THE LORD. >> OUR NEXT ACTION STORY COMES 18:49 TO US FROM THE STATE OF KENTUCKY. 18:56 >> I AM ANDREW SMITH, I AM FROM LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY. 19:02 WE HAVE A SMALL BUSINESS WHERE WE MAKE MACHINES FOR A TEXTILE 19:09 INDUSTRY. BUTTONS AND SNAPS, WE PUT ON 19:14 PANTS AND TARPS. MY FATHER ACTUALLY STARTED WITH 19:16 HIS FATHER AND MOTHER. THEY DIDN'T HAVE HARDLY 19:21 ANYTHING. THEY WORKED REALLY HARD AND 19:23 SAVED, AND STARTED A LITTLE MACHINE SHOP IN THEIR BASEMENT, 19:28 AND MY GRANDFATHER WAS VERY SHARP MECHANICAL, AND HE AND MY 19:35 FATHER WAS ABLE TO DESIGN SMALL MACHINES, AND GET SOME BUSINESS 19:41 THAT GREW INTO LARGER ACCOUNTS, AND EVENTUALLY MOVED TO 19:45 LEXINGTON. >> I THINK MY PARENTS 'PLACED A 19:50 DESIRE IN OUR HEARTS. WE GREW UP SHARING DAD'S PASSION 19:55 FOR CHRIST. >> DAD TOOK OUT SHARING 19:58 LITERATURE. >> AND WE WOULD GO DOOR-TO-DOOR 20:01 AND ACTUALLY KNOCK OBSTACLES THE DOOR, AND SOMEONE WHO COME TO 20:05 THE DOOR, AND HE WOULD OFFER A BOOK FOR BIBLE STUDIES. 20:10 THERE WERE TIMES THEY TOOK HIM UP ON THAT OFFER, AND WE WOULD 20:14 GO BACK EVERY WEEK. >> IN THE BUSINESS, HE ALWAYS 20:19 TOOK ADVANTAGE OF BEING ABLE TO TALK TO PEOPLE OR SHARE A LITTLE 20:23 BOOK HERE ON THERE. MY FATHER, WHEN WE STARTED 20:27 SENDING EQUIPMENT OUT, HE SEN SET A LOT OF IT OUT. 20:33 HE HAD OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE BOOKS WITH THE MECHANICS AND 20:37 OWNER. HE HAS ALWAYS SEEN THAT AS JUST 20:39 A WAY TO PAY IT FORWARD FOR GOD. I MEAN, GOD IS BASICALLY, IN 20:44 ESSENCE, GAVE HIM OR THEM THE BUSINESS, THE BRAINS AND 20:49 EVERYTHING. I THINK THROUGH HIS EXAMPLE, HE 20:53 SHOWED US WHENEVER YOU CAN, YOU WANT TO GIVE BACK TO GOD. 20:58 >> WE HAVE OUR MUSIC, WE HAVE AMAZING GRACE AND CHRISTIAN 21:03 MUSIC THAT IS USUALLY PLAYING. I PICKED UP THE PHONE BEFORE, A 21:08 LADY SAID, THAT AMAZING GRACE, I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT SINCE I WAS A 21:12 LITTLE GIRL. MY GRANDMA USED TO TAKE ME TO 21:16 CHURCH SINCE I WAS LITTLE. I REALIZED I NEED TO GET BACK TO 21:22 CHURCH. THOSE ARE SIMPLE THINGS TO DO, 21:25 BUT THEY MAKE AN IMPACT. >> WE HAVE PLACED THIS BUSINESS 21:32 INTO GOD'S HANDS, AND HE BRINGS PEOPLE, AND I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE 21:37 THE OPPORTUNITY, AND ALSO THE RESPONSIBILITY TO LET THEM KNOW 21:43 WHO JESUS IS AND WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THEM. 21:47 IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS NOT SUCH THAT I SAY, BUT WHAT THEY SEE IN 21:52 ME. THAT'S IMPORTANT. 21:53 >> GOD HAS BROUGHT US WHERE WE ARE. 21:57 OKAY, HE HAS HELPED US, AND GIVEN US BUSINESS AND THE 22:03 OPPORTUNITIES. SO, WHEREVER WE HAVE THAT 22:06 BUSINESS, WE SHARE WHAT GOD PUT IN OUR HANDS. 22:08 >> THE WAY WE LOOK AT OUR BUSINESS, WE REALIZE GOD HAS 22:15 BLESSED, WHETHER THROUGH MY FATHER OR GRANDFATHER, 22:19 ENGINEERING, MARKETING, AND GETTING CUSTOMERS, ALL OF THAT 22:23 IS NOT BECAUSE WE ARE SO SMART, BUT IT IS GOD'S BLESSING. 22:29 WHETHER YOU ARE A DOCTOR, OR CAR MANUFACTURER, I WOULD SAY GOD 22:37 BLESSED YOU WITH THAT, AND THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS GIVE BACK. 22:42 >> WE HAVE A SPHERE OF INFLUENCE THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T HAVE. 22:46 WE HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS, THAT OUR 22:52 PASTOR DOESN'T HAVE OR OUR EVANGELIST DOESN'T HAVE. 22:57 GOD IS ASKS US TO TAKE THE TOOLS THAT WE HAVE, BUT RIGHT WHERE WE 23:02 ARE, TO PICK UP WHATEVER WE HAVE IN OUR HAND AND BE ABLE TO USE 23:09 THAT TO SHARE FOR HIM. 23:26 >> WHAT A POWERFUL TESTIMONY. THE SMITH FAMILY INVITES US TO 23:32 ASK THE QUESTION OF OURSELVES WHAT DO WE HAVE IN OUR HANDS 23:36 THAT WE CAN USE FOR THE LORD? CAN WE GIVE YOU ARE BUSINESS, 23:41 OUR MINISTRY TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST LIKE THEY HAVE SHOWN? 23:46 I PROMISE YOU, GOD WILL BLESS. >>> IT IS MY PRIVILEGE TO 23:52 INTRODUCE DR. NEIL NED LEE. HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF WEEMAR 23:59 INSTITUTE. HE IS A SPEAKER, AN AUTHOR AND 24:03 FATHER AND LAY EVANGELIST. YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED. 24:06 I INVITE YOU TO LISTEN. I KNOW MANY PEOPLE ARE 24:14 STRUGGLING. DR. NED LEE HAVE HELPED 24:16 THOUSANDS OUT OF DIMENSION AND ANXIETY, AND I KNOW HE HAS BEEN 24:21 GIVEN A WORD FROM THE LORD TO SPEAK TO YOU THIS EVENING. 24:25 >> THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME TO SPEAK ON MODERN MISSIONARY WORK. 24:30 THIS IS A CRUCIAL TOPIC, AND REALLY GETS TO THE CORE WHY 24:35 CHRIST HAS NOT COME YET. IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE IS WAITING 24:40 FOR THE NEXT PANDEMIC, IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE IS WAITING FOR THE 24:47 NEXT ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. THERE ARE REASONS THAT HAS TO DO 24:53 WITH GOD'S PEOPLE OURSELF, REGARDING WHY HE HAS NOT COME 24:58 YET. >>> I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, PROPOSE 25:04 THAT IT IS IT IS BECAUSE, HIS PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF, HAVE 25:10 NOT BEEN FOLLOWING THE MODEL OF WHAT CHRIST DID ON THIS EARTH. 25:14 >>> THERE ARE THREE THINGS. THREE MAIN AREAS OF WHAT CHRIST 25:21 DID WHEN HE WAS HERE. AND MATTHEW 9:35 THAT JESUS WENT 25:29 ABOUT ALL THE CITIES, EVEN THE SMALLER PLACES, THE VILLAGESES. 25:35 HE TALKED, SO EDUCATION WAS PART OF IT. 25:38 HE PREACHED THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WAS A MAJOR PART OF IT. 25:45 AND HE HEALED. THIS IS THE THIRD ELEMENT, MUCH 25:49 OF CHRISTIANITY HAS GOT THE EDUCATION PART DOUBLE MINOR. 25:52 THEY HAVE GOTTEN THE GOSPEL PART DOWN, BUT THE HEALING PART IS 25:57 SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE VIEWED AS MAY BE OPTIONAL AND PUT IN A 26:04 CORNER SOMEWHERE. WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT CHRIST 26:09 SPENT MORE TIME DOING HEALING THAT PREACHING. 26:12 HE WAS HEALING EVERY WEAKNESS, THE BIBLE SAYS. 26:17 EVERY I AM IF I REMEMBER AT THIS. 26:18 >>> AND THEN HE TOLD HIS APOSTLES, FIRST THE 12, AND THEN 26:25 LATER THE 70, TO GO AND PREACH AS THEY WENT AROUND THE TOWNS 26:32 ANVIL LAGS. THE FIRST THING HE TOLD THEM TO 26:35 DO WAS TO HEAL THE SICK. LENSE THE LEPERS. 26:40 THEN HE SAID, FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE. 26:45 HE DIDN'T SAY THOSE TO THE LEFT OF PETER AND JOHN WILL BE 26:49 INVOLVED IN PREACHING, AND THOSE TO THE RIGHT OF PETER AND JOHN, 26:53 ARE GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN HEALING. 26:55 HE WANTED ALL OF HIS FOLLOW ERRS TO BE INVOLVED IN BOTH ASPECTS. 27:05 AFTER 1863, WHEN THE HEALTH MESSAGE WAS GIVEN TO THE 27:12 INSPIRED PROPHET, THE ONLY PIONEER THAT WAS A PROPHET, SHE 27:18 WAS ACTUALLY SHOWN A VISION THAT CHRIST DID NOT WISH THE MEDICAL 27:23 MISSIONARY WORK TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE GOSPEL WORK. 27:26 OR THE GOSPEL WORK SEPARATED FROM THE MEDICAL MISSIONARY 27:30 WORK. THESE ARE TO BLEND TOGETHER. 27:33 >>> THE MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK IS ACTUALLY REGARDED AS THE 27:39 PIONEER WORK. IF YOU WANT TO BE A PIONEER FOR 27:41 THE LORD, EMBRACE MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK. 27:45 LEARN MORE ABOUT IT. LEARN HOW TO INCORPORATE IT 27:49 MORE. THIS IS THE MEANS OF BREAKING 27:52 DOWN PREJUDICE. >>> AS THE RIGHT ARM, THAT'S THE 27:56 STRONG ARM, IT IS TO OPEN DOORS FOR THE GOSPEL MESSAGE. 28:03 IN OUR CHURCHES TODAY, I AM NOT SURE WE ARE QUITE READY TO 28:10 ADVANCE IN EXPONENTIALLY TAKING THE ENTIRE WORLD BY MISSING THIS 28:17 ELEMENT. >>> MUCH OF OUR CHURCHES IF THEY 28:20 ARE DOING HEALING IT IS NOT CONNECTED AT ALL WITH THE 28:24 GOSPEL. OR THEY ARE DOING GOSPEL WORK 28:27 AND NOT HEALING WORK. SO IN MANY WAYS, THE RIGHT ARM 28:31 IS WITHERED, AND CHRIST IS WAITING FOR THAT CHANGE. 28:35 >>> THE NUMBER 1 PROBLEM IN ALL OF THE WORLD, IS ACTUALLY NOT 28:40 COULD HE INDIVIDUAL. THE NUMBER 1 PROBLEM IN ALL OF 28:45 THE WORLD, IS NOT PROBLEMS WITH IMMIGRATION OR EVEN CLIMATE 28:55 CHANGE. THE NUMBER 1 PROBLEM ISN'T EVEN 29:03 THIS BATTLE BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, SOCIALISM, AND CAPITALISM. 29:11 AND ALL OF THESE THINGS. NOT THAT THEY ARE NOT IMPORTANT. 29:14 ALL THESE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT, AND THERE ARE TRUTHS THAT ARE 29:19 CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND IN THOSE AREAS. 29:24 BUT THEY ARE INSIGNIFICANT TO THE MOST QUOTED IN THE WORLD 29:29 STATES, AND THAT IS LACK OF SELF-CONTROL. 29:36 DR. BOMB MEISTER MAKES AN ELOQUENT CASE THAT THIS IS THE 29:42 NUMBER 1 PROBLEM IN THE WORLD. IF WE DON'T HAVE SELF-CONTROL IN 29:46 OUR LIFE, WE ARE MORE LIKING TO GET COVID, AND SUCCUMB TO COVID, 29:54 WITH PERMANENT DAMAGE OR EVEN DEATH IF WE ARE NOT ON A NEW 29:58 START PROGRAM THAT CAN HELP US GREATLY, IN AVOIDING IT AS WELL 30:04 AS HELPING OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. >>> WE LOOK AT HEART DISEASE, WE 30:11 KNOW HOW TO ELIMINATE THIS DISEASE. 30:14 WHY IS IT STILL NUMBER 1? LACK OF SELF-CONTROL. 30:22 80% OF -- THINGS THAT WOULD BE HEALTHIEST FOR US. 30:26 THEN WE HAVE ADDICTIONS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. 30:31 >>> ALCOHOLISM GOING UP, SEXUAL ADDICTIONS, OUR YOUNG PEOPLE, 30:39 OVER 85% FIT THE DESCRIPTION FOR ADDICTION TO TECHNOLOGY. 30:47 THEY CAN'T STOP THEMSELVES FROM DOING SOMETHING NOT USEFUL. 30:52 IT DOES AFFECT THEIR PERFORMANCE, SOCIAL LIFE AND 30:55 MENTAL LIFE. WE COULD GO INTO SO MANY OTHER 31:00 ISSUES, RAPE, MURDER, TO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS -- NOT ALL OF THE 31:05 PROBLEMS BUT MOST OF THE UNDERLYING PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD 31:09 ARE DUE TO LACK OF SELF-CONTROL. >>> THIS IS WHY WE REALLY NEED 31:15 BOTH THE HEALTH MESSAGE, BOTH MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK, AND THE 31:22 GOSPEL. >>> NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO TELL 31:28 YOU A COUPLE OF STORIES, WE HELD A DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY PROGRAM 31:34 DURING COVID. THAT'S A ZEST SERVICE. 31:38 MENTAL HEALTH ISUES ARE EXPLODING AD GET BEING WORSE 31:42 UNDER COVID. >>> SHE WAS AN ATHEIST AND DID 32:13 NOT LIKE THAT ASPECT OF THINGS. SO, HOW DID SHE END UP AT 32:21 WEEMAR. WELL, THESE A SUCCESSFUL 32:23 BUSINESS WOMAN, AND HAD SOME CLIENTS, VERY SHARP LADY, AND 32:28 VERY ATTRACTIVE. ONE OF HER CLIENTS, TOLD HER, IF 32:36 SHE REALLY WANTED SUCCESS IN THIS AREA, SHE NEEDED TO GO TO 32:44 WEEMAR. THIS LADY WENT AND MADE THE 32:48 FIRST CALL, TO THE PLACE WHERE THEY DO SCREENING FOR DEPRESSION 32:53 AND ANXIETY. WHILE SHE WAS WITH THIS LADY, 32:56 THE PHONE WAS THEN HANDED OVER TO OUR RECENT PARTICIPATE, AND 33:03 SHE WENT THROUGH THE INTERVIEW. OF COURSE, DURING THE INTERVIEW, 33:08 SHE TOLD ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS IS A CHRISTIAN-BASED 33:12 PROGRAM. >>> SHE SAID AT THAT POINT, SHE 33:15 WAS FRUSTRATED WITH HER YEARS OF PROBLEM DRINKING. 33:20 THAT SHE THOUGHT, IF IT REQUIRES CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLE AND MAY BE 33:27 THERE IS SOMETHING TO THIS, THEN I AM WILLING TO DO IT. 33:31 SHE LOOKED AT THE STATISTICS AND ALL THE OTHER PROGRAMS AVAILABLE 33:35 FOR ALCOHOLISM, AND REALISING THAT THIS WOULD ACTUALLY GET 33:40 BEHIND THE ISSUES OF ALCOHOLISM AT ALL, AND WHY SHE WAS DRIVING 33:45 THAT WAY, AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, AND SHE SAID IT WAS BY 33:50 FAR THE CHEAPEST PROGRAM, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, IN A 33:57 TREATMENT PROGRAM, 30 TO $40,000. 34:01 AND AFTER THAT, THERE IS NO CHANCE OF SUCCESS. 34:06 >>> SHE CAME HERE, AND WE OF COURSE DID THE EVALUATION, AND 34:14 FOUND SOME THINGS BRAIN CHEMISTRY-WISE, THAT WERE 34:19 INSIGHTFUL FOR HER TO UNDERSTAND. 34:20 AND ALSO THE WAY WE ARE THINKING, WE TEACH THEM THE 10 34:27 DIFFERENT WAYS OF DISTORTED THINKING. 34:29 AND THEN WE TEACH THEM THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE 10 34:35 COMMANDMENTS SOLVE THE WAYS OF DISTORTED THINKING. 34:39 ONE IS CALLED DISQUALIFYING THE POSITIVE. 34:42 IT IS SOMETHING MOST CHRISTIANS DO. 34:43 >>> SO, I ACTUALLY GO THROUGH THIS SECTION, BECAUSE I AM 34:49 SHOWING HOW SCIENCE SHOWN US, THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE 10 34:54 COMMANDMENTS, ARE GOING TO HELP US 20 BECOME HEALTHIER, AND HELP 35:00 US LIVE MORE VIBRANT LIVES. THE FIRST SESSION I DO IS KIND 35:07 OF LIKE A WORSHIP SESSION. WE GOT TO THIS COMMANDMENT, 35:13 REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY. 35:16 WE ASKED THEM, WHAT IS THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND THIS 35:22 COMMANDMENT? THE WORD THAT WAS CHOSEN WAS 35:25 HOLY. BEING SET APART. 35:28 >>> THEN, WE WENT INTO THE COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS. 35:39 THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE COGNITIVE DISTORTION WOULD 35:43 BE, BUT THEN WE WENT INTO THE SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS. 35:48 THE SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS WAS STUDIED NOT TOO LONG AGO, IN A 35:53 CONTROLLED STUDY WHERE WE WERE LOOKING AT SABBATH KEEPERS, 35:59 VERSUS THOSE WHO KEPT SUNDAY, OR DID NOT KEEP ANY DAY. 36:04 >>> SO, THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT CONTROL GROUPS. 36:08 I MENTIONED THERE ARE MORE SABBATH KEEPERS, THAN SUNDAY 36:15 KEEPERS. THE DIFFICULTY IN THE CONTROL 36:17 GROUP WAS THAT. THEN WE WENT THROUGH IT. 36:22 THIS WAS A STUDY AS A RESULT OF DAN ASKING THE QUESTION, COULD 36:32 THE KEEP THE SABBATH OR SUN, -- WE HAD TO DEFINE WHAT SABBATH 36:44 KEEPING WAS. IT WAS NOT SHOPPING, NOT READING 36:48 HIS MARGINSES, NOT WATCHING TV, SPORTS PROGRAMS, NOT ENGAGING, 36:54 AND ENGAGING IN COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES FROM FRIDAY NIGHT TO 37:04 SUNDAY NIGHT. THEN THEY PUT THE GROUPS 37:12 TOGETHER AND STARTED TO DO SOME ANALYSIS. 37:15 THEY SAW THERE WAS A COLLATION BETWEEN SABBATH KEEPING, AND 37:20 WHAT ELSE? MENTAL HEALTH. 37:23 >>> THEY WENT ON TO SAY GREATER SABBATH KEEPING WAS ASSOCIATED 37:28 WITH MORE RELIGIOUS COPING, RELIGIOUS SPORT, HEALEDIER DIET, 37:35 MORE EXERCISE, WHICH IN TERM WERE ASSOCIATED WITH MORE MENTAL 37:41 HEALTH. THEY WERE LEARNING DIET AND 37:46 EXERCISE WERE IMPORTANT TO MENTAL HEALTH. 37:51 >>> EACH HAD A GREATER SIGNIFICANT EFFECT, THAN WHAT? 37:56 THAN DIET OR EXERCISE OR MENTAL HEALTH. 37:59 WE KNOW THOSE TWO ARE CRUCIAL IN REGARDS TO MENTAL HEALTH. 38:04 BUT, THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT IN THIS 38:09 STUDY, AND THAT WAS SABBATH-KEEPING. 38:12 IT DID SHOW SABBATH KEEPERS HAVE BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO THEM AS 38:16 WELL. THEY LOSE THEIR JOBS. 38:18 THEY CAN BE FIRED FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. 38:24 THEY CAN HAVE PROBLEMS WITH A SPOUSE OUT OF CONTROL. 38:28 BUT WHEN THEY ARE TRUE SABBATH KEEPERS, THEY SEEM TO LIVE ABOVE 38:32 THE FRAY. IT DIDN'T GET THEM DOUBLE MINOR. 38:35 IT DOESN'T CAUSE THEM TO CRASH AND START THINKING OF OPTIONS, 38:40 THAT ARE THE MOST TERRIBLE OPTIONS IMAGINABLE, IN ORDER TO 38:45 COPE. >>> IF WE ARE GOING TO TEACH 38:48 DIET AND EXERCISE, THIS IS WHY WE ARE BRINGING UP THE SABBATH. 38:54 IF IT HAS THAT MUCH AFFECT ON MENTAL HEALTH, AND WE ALSO WANT 39:00 TO MODEL IT. WE TALK ABOUT THE NEXT DAY, WE 39:05 ARE GOING TO CHURCH. >>> AVOIDANCE OF NON-SABBATH 39:10 ACTIVITIES, IN THIS ACTIVITY, VERSUS PERFORMANCE OF SPIRITUAL 39:18 ACTIVITES, WHICH WHAT WE ARE DOING, IN CONJUNCTION WITH 39:25 COMMUNAL SABBATH ACTIVITIES WERE ALL INDEPENDENTLY ASSOCIATED 39:29 WITH I AM PROVED MENTAL HEALTH. BUT KEEPING -- PERFORMANCE OF 39:36 SECULAR ACTIVITIES ON THE SABBATH OR ELECTIVELY HELPING 39:41 PEOPLE BY WORKING FOR THEM, WITHOUT OBEYING THE SABBATH, 39:49 THESE WERE ALL ASSOCIATED WITH A DECREASE IN MENTAL HEALTH. 39:58 >>> IF IT IS SOCIAL PRESSURE OR DUTY-SHAME AVOIDANCE, IT DIDN'T 40:02 SEEM TO HELP. WHEN WE WERE NOT DOING THOSE 40:06 ACTIVITIES FOR COMMANDMENT, AND PERFORMING ACTIVITIES THAT DRAWS 40:12 CLOSER TO GOD AND BELIEVERS AND UNDERSTANDING MORE OF HIS 40:16 PRINCIPLES, IT WAS A GREAT DETERMINANTS IN REGARDS TO 40:22 POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH. >>> WHAT DID JESUS HIMSELF SAY 40:26 ABOUT THE BATH SABBATH WHEN HE WAS HERE, HE SAID THE SABBATH 40:30 WAS MADE FOR MAN. WE OFTEN DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, 40:34 BUT THE SABBATH IS A HEALTH PRINCIPLE. 40:37 IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE LORD GAVE US TO ENHANCE OUR HEALTH. 40:42 IF WE ARE DOING THAT, WE ARE ACTUALLY MORE LIKELY TO 40:45 INCORPORATE THE OTHER NEW START PRINCIPLES IN OUR LIVES. 40:49 >>> SO, WHEN PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE SABBATH BUT DON'T KEEP IT, 40:53 WHAT IS THE ISSUE? IT IS ACTUALLY A COGNITIVE 40:58 DISTORTION, IT IS A DISTORTION CALLED "DISQUALIFYING THE 41:10 PORTION." >>> I DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THIS 41:12 SET OF NOT DOING THING, AND GOD WANTS ME TO BE HAPPY, SO I AM 41:19 SURE HE IS HAPPY IN ME DOING WHAT I WANT TO DO. 41:24 GOD IS SAYING, I KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU. 41:28 THOSE WHO TASTE AND SEE, AND TAKE IN THE SABBATH, LIVE 41:34 HEALTHIER LIVES, AND MENTALLY HEALTHIER LIVES. 41:38 >>> SO MANY PEOPLE WONDERED, WHY IS IT THAT THE THIRD ANGEL'S 41:44 MESSAGE WAS THE HEALTH MESSAGE? THE THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE HAS TO 41:50 DO WITH THIS FINAL CONFLICT. >>> IS IT GOING TO BE GOD AND 41:58 HIS INSPIRED WRITINGS THAT ARE OVER AFTERNOONING PRINCIPLE, IN 42:05 LIFE? IN OTHER WORDS, THE FIRST 42:07 COMMANDMENT THOU SHALL HAVE NOT OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. 42:12 ARE WE GOING TO KEEP THE FIRST COMMANDMENT AND HAVE OUR 42:16 PRIORITIES STRAIGHT? ARE OR WE GOING TO INCORPORATE 42:19 NOT JUST THE BIBLE, BUT THE BIBLE AND TRADITION? 42:23 I DIDN'T MENTION ABOUT THE BIBLE AND TRADITION IN THAT TALK WE 42:28 HAD SUNDAY. KEEPERS THERE, I DON'T KNOW IF 42:32 THEY WERE SUNDAY KEEPERS. WE HAD PEOPLE FROM ALL DIFFERENT 42:38 WALKS OF LIFE. WE HAD THE ATHEISTS THERE. 42:44 >>> INTERESTINGLY, AFTER THAT MESSAGE, SHE, OF COURSE, RAISED 42:48 HER HAND IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, AND SAID, I AM READING THIS 42:53 COMMANDMENT, AND IT SAYS THE 7th DAY. 42:55 WHY IS IT, MANY CHRISTIANS WORSHIP ON THE FIRST DAY, HOW 43:00 DID THAT START? >>> THAT'S WHERE I WENT INTO THE 43:06 COUNSEL OF TRENT, IS IT GOING TO BE THE BIBLE ONLY, OR BIBLE AND 43:12 TRADITION IN RESPECT OF RULES AND PRACTISE. 43:15 THE COUNSEL OF TRENT, EVEN THE PROTESTANTS, WERE WORSHIPING ON 43:25 A DAY NOT IN THE BIBLE, THAT THEY WERE ALSO -- OF COURSE, I 43:30 DID MENTION BEFORE THAT, THAT WE LOST CHRISTIANS OF ALL TYPES, NO 43:35 MATTER WHAT THEIR BELIEFS, NO MATTER WHAT DAY THEY WORSHIP. 43:42 THEY WANT US ALL EMBRACE THE PRINCIPLES OF ABUNDANT LIVING 43:46 THAT CHRIST HAS GIVEN US. I WENT INTO THAT SIMPLE 43:56 COMPLANATION, THE NEXT MORNING SHE WOULDN'T LET IT GO. 43:59 SHE KEPT TALKING ABOUT, IF WE ARE GOING TO FOLLOW THE ONLY 44:03 PORTION OF SCRIPTURE THAT GD WROTE HIMSELF, WHY WOULDN'T WE 44:08 KEEP THE SABBATH? THAT MORNING SHE MADE A 44:12 COMMITMENT THAT SHE WOULD FOLLOW GOD IN ALL ASPECTS IN HER LIFE 44:21 AND SHE SAID SHE FEET FELT THE PRESENCE OF GOD. 44:23 HERE WAS AN ATHEIST, READY TO GO ALL THE WAY, TO PUT IT ALL ON 44:31 THE -- DO YOU THINK SHE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN LONG-TERM RESULTS? 44:38 YOU BET SHE DID. THERE WILL BE TEMPTATIONS TO GO 44:41 OTHER DIRECTIONS. THERE WILL BE ISSUES TRYING TO 44:46 TESTAMENT HER IN REGARDS TO THE RE-ENTRY IN THE ASPECTS OF LIFE. 44:51 BUT, DO YOU SEE WHY THE MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK IS SO IMPORTANT 44:58 FOR REACHING A. THIS IS SOMEONE WHO WOULD NEVER 45:04 GONE THROUGH A TRADITIONAL WAY OF HEARING GOSPEL. 45:08 BUT BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH NEEDS, WHAT A DIFFERENCE WAS MADE IN 45:12 HER LIFE, AND HER HEART AND MIND WAS COMPLETELY OPEN. 45:17 SHE ASKED THAT AFTERNOON TO GET BAPTIZED, AND INTO CHRIST 45:22 CHURCH. >>> OUR PASTOR, SHE IS SO NEW TO 45:29 EVERYTHING, BUT HE SAID, SHE IS ONE OF THE SHARPEST MEMBERS. 45:37 HE DOES COUNSELLING SESSIONS FOR MANY OF OUR PARTICIPATES, AND 45:41 SHE WANTED TO KNOW SOME APOLOGETIC, AND SHE READ 45:50 EVERYTHING HE ASSIGNED HER. SHE WAS VERY DESERVING, AND 45:55 UNDERSTANDING WITH ALL OF THAT. SO, WE KNOW, SHE WILL BE 45:59 ENTERING THE WATERY GRAVES OF BAPTISM, ONCE SHE FULLY 46:04 UNDERSTANDS WHAT SHE IS ABOUT READY TO DO AND MAKE THAT FULL 46:08 COMMITMENT. >>> BUT, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE 46:10 SUNDAY KEEPER, OR THE SUNDAY WORSHIPER WHO WAS THERE, WHO WAS 46:18 VERY MUCH AN EVANGELICAL, AND PENTECOSTAL SIDE, SHE WAS ALSO 46:28 BLOWN AWAY BY THE MEDICAL MISSIONARY PROGRAM. 46:31 SHE WANTED HER HUSBAND WHO WAS A PHYSICIAN TO COME AT THE END OF 46:39 THE PROGRAM. IN FACT, THAT PHYSICIAN WANTS TO 46:42 ROTATE WITH ME, AND HE WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC HERE 46:48 HERE AT WEIMAR, AND PART OF THE IT WAS THE PARTICIPANTS. 46:58 TWO MEMBERS ALL ASPECTS OF THE BRAIN WHEN WE ARE DOING THAT, 47:03 AND SINGING HYMNS, THAT ARE UPLIFTING, HE ASKED OUR PAN 47:09 KNOWIST, TO PLAY A SPECIAL HYMN AT GRADUATION. 47:16 ALL OUR HEARTS WERE UPLIFTED TO GOD. 47:19 >>> SO, YES, THE MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORKS AND BIBLE 47:26 COMBINED ARE POWERFUL INFLUENCES. 47:29 IF WE ACCEPT THE PRINCIPLES OF EACH OF THOSE COMMANDMENTS, WE 47:33 WILL HAVE ALL SORTS OF POWER TO BE ABLE TO RESIST THE COMMON 47:38 WAYS OF DISTORTED THINKING. >>> WE ARE TOLD THE SOUL IS TO 47:46 BE PURIFIED MADE FIT IN THE HEAVENLY COURTS. 47:48 THERE ARE TWO LESSONS TO BE LEARNED IN EVERYONE. 47:55 SELF-SACRIFICE AND SELF-CONTROL. WE HAVE SO MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS 47:59 IN THIS WORLD DUE TO LACK OF SELF-CONTROL. 48:03 AND WE HAVE SO MUCH LACK OF GOD'S LOVE IN OUR LIFE AND 48:08 THAT'S WHY WE ARE NOT WILLING TO SELF-SACRIFICE. 48:13 BUT IF WE ARE WILLING PUT IT ON THE ALTER AS THIS WOMAN DID, AND 48:20 IF WE ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE -- IF WE DON'T HAVE 48:27 SELF-CONTROL, THAT MEANS WE HAVEN'T PUT ALL ON THE ALTER OF 48:32 SACRIFICE. THAT'S WHY CHRIST'S HEALING 48:36 MESSAGE, MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK, WHEN DONE IN ACCORDANCE 48:41 WITH HIS WILL, WILL CIRCLE THIS QUICKLY. 48:45 IF WE JUST REACH ONE SOUL EVERY WEEK, AND THAT SOUL REACHES 48:51 ANOTHER SOUL WITHIN THE WEEK, WITHIN THREE YEARS, OVER 48:56 8 BILLION PEOPLE WILL BE REACHED, AND CHRIST WILL INDEED 49:00 COME. >>> I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EACH ONE 49:03 OF YOU, TO GO THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL HELP TO BE 49:10 COMPREHENSIVE AND LIFE-LONG, AND THAT COMMANDS THE GOSPEL TO 49:17 OBSTACLES COMPLETE. >>> WE WILL SEE THE MISSIONARY 49:22 WORK DEEPENING AT EVERY PROGRESS. 49:24 BECAUSE OF THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF STREAMS, UNTIL THE 49:29 WHOLE EARTH IS COVERED AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA. 49:33 THIS IS WHY CHRIST HAS NOT COME. WE ARE NOT TO THIS POINT. 49:38 LOOK AT WHAT SHE SAYS WILL HAPPEN. 49:43 THIS IS WHY WEIMAR EXISTS AND ASI EXISTS. 49:51 WEIMAR ARE TRAINED TO EMBRACE ALL THREE CHRIST'S MINISTRY 49:55 MESSAGE AND USE HIS MESSAGE TO BRING ABOUT THE LOUD CY THAT 50:01 WILL CIRCLE THE GLOBE, AND THE 3 ANGELS' MESSAGE IS INTIMATELY 50:06 CONNECTED WITH IT. AS ALLEN WHITE SAYS, THE THIRD 50:14 ANGELS' MESSAGE IS THE HEALTH INVARIABLY. 50:19 MAY GOD BLESS YOU. 50:48 [SINGING] [SINGING] 54:19 [SINGING] 55:36 >> BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, AND A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION BY 55:42 DR.

MEDLEY, I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO WEIMAR 56:52 INSTITUTE. 42 YEARS AGO, WE HAD OUR FIRST 56:57 LIFESTYLE PROGRAM IN THE BUILDING BESIDE ME. 56:59 AS A RESULT OF THAT, ONE OF OUR GUESTS COINED THE TERM "NEW 57:06 START." IT IS ACTUALLY A TRADEMARK WITH 57:10 WEIMAR INSTITUTE. ALL THAT TIME, DON'T YOU HAVE A 57:14 SHORTER VERSION, WE NOW HAVE A 18-DAY PROGRAM, AND THERE ALWAYS 57:20 BEEN A DESIRE TO HAVE A SHORTER PROGRAM. 57:26 THE COVID HAS FORCED US TO DO IT ONLINE, AND WE HAVE A SHORT 57:34 PROMOTIONAL VIDEO THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU NOW. 57:40 >> LIFE IS LIKE A RACE.

WHAT IS AMAZING, THOSE PEOPLE 01:00:47 HAVE PAID US TO ALLOW US TO EVANGELIZE THEM. 01:00:52 I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER EVANGELISTIC TOOL TO GO TO AN 01:00:58 ONLINE PROGRAM.

THEY HAVE THE MEDICAL, BUT NOT 01:04:54 THE MISSIONARY.

SO, WHEN THEY WERE DOING WITH 01:21:20 TRADING THERE, THE KING SAID GO BACK TO YOUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST, 01:21:25 THE POPE, AND HAVE HIM SEND A HUNDRED OF HIS PRIESTS TO COME 01:21:30 TO OUR COUNTRY AND TEACH US ABOUT JESUS AND CHRISTIANITY. 01:21:34 WELL, NICK LOW AND AND MATEO, THEY WENT ON THIS VERY DIFFICULT 01:21:43 LONG JOURNEY FROM CHINA. CAME BACK TO VENICE, AND 01:21:50 ULTIMATELY WENT BACK TO ROME. THEY SAID THIS IS A VAST EMPIRE, 01:21:55 THEY ARE BLEEDING HE -- PLEADING FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH, -- 01:22:03 THEY WERE SO INVOLVED IN INTERNAL BATTLES BETWEEN THE 01:22:08 POPE AND OTHER WARS GOING ON IN EUROPE. 01:22:11 THEY BASICALLY DISMISSED HIM. YOU GOT TO SEND SOME PRIESTS, 01:22:16 THIS IS THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY FOR EVANGELISM IN HISTORY. 01:22:21 FINALLY THEY SAID OKAY, WE WILL SEND YOU TWO MONKS. 01:22:26 SO THESE TWO MOKS WENT WITH THE BROTHERS BACK TOWARDS THE MONGER 01:22:32 EMPIRE, AND THEY GOT DISCOURAGED ALONG THE WAY A, ENTERING WAR 01:22:40 TORN COUNTRY, ONE MUCH THEM DIED ON THE WAY HOME. 01:22:43 AND THE WHOLE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN 01:22:48 TRANSFORMED IF THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN THAT JOURNEY SERIOUSLY. 01:22:54 >>> A SIMILAR STORY WHERE THERE WAS A -- ISAIAH 39, GOOD KING 01:23:07 EYES -- THE PROPHET ISAIAH SAID FIX UP YOUR HOME, OR YOU WILL 01:23:16 DIE. HEZEKIAH YAW DIDN'T WANT TO DIE, 01:23:21 AND PRAYED HIS PRAY. >>> I HAVE HEARD YOUR PRAYERS 01:23:27 AND SEEN YOUR TEARS AND ADD TO YOUR LIFE, 15 YEARS. 01:23:30 AS A RESULT OF THAT, GOD GOD GAVE HIM A SIGN, AND THE SUN 01:23:40 WENT BACK 15 YEARS. >>> THERE WERE OBSERVANT 01:23:50 ASTRONOMERS, IN THE BABYLON EMPIRE, THEY UNDERSTOOD MATH 01:23:56 THERE, AND BEEN INVOLVED IN BUILDING PROJECTS. 01:24:00 THERE WAS GREAT GENIUS IN THE EMPIRE. 01:24:03 THEY SAW WHAT HAPPENED, AND THEY WANTED TO FIND OUT WHY THIS 01:24:10 MIRACLE? >>> WELL, JEHOVAH FOR THE JEWS, 01:24:14 AND GOD PRAYED AND HEALED AND GAVE THEM A SIGN. 01:24:18 >>> SO, THEY SENT SOME AMBASSADORS WITH GIFTS, AND 01:24:24 THAT'S WHERE OUR STORY TAKES UP ISAIAH 39. 01:24:28 AT THAT TIME, KING OF BABYLON SENT LETTERS AND A PRESENT TO 01:24:36 HEZEKIAH, HEARD HE HAD BEEN SICK AND HE RECOVERED. 01:24:42 HE SENT THESE EMISSARIES, TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE GOD WHO HAD 01:24:47 THE POWER TO MAKE THE SUN GO BACKWARDS. 01:24:52 >>> BUT HEZEKIAH MISSED THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY, AND INSTEAD 01:24:57 OF POINTING THEM TO GOD -- LIKE THE QUEEN, HE POINTED TO -- 01:25:06 LISTEN TO WHAT HAPPENED HERE. HEZEKIAH WAS PLEASED WITH HIM 01:25:10 AND IMPRESSED. HE THOUGHT THAT'S A GREAT EMPIRE 01:25:15 FROM BABYLON, I WILL SEE IF I CAN IMPRESS THEM EQUALLY. 01:25:21 HE SHOWED HIS TREASURE, ALL HIS ARMOIRE, THERE WAS NOTHING IN 01:25:27 HIS HOUSE OR ALL OF HIS DOMINION THAT HEZEKIAH IF NOT SHOW THEM. 01:25:35 EXCEPT, HE DID NOT SHOW THEM HIS GOD. 01:25:37 HOW TRAGIC. THEN ISAIAH THE PROPHET, WENT TO 01:25:42 HEZEKIAH AND SAID WHAT DID THESE MEN SAY AND WHERE HAVE THEY COME 01:25:48 FROM? >>> HE SAID, THEY COME FROM 01:25:52 BABYLON. >>> HE SAID WHAT HAVE THEY SEEN 01:25:53 IN YOUR HOUSE? HEZEKIAH ANSWERED THEY HAVE SEEN 01:25:59 ALL WHAT'S IN MY HOUSE. >>> ISAIAH SAID TO HEZEKIAH, BE 01:26:05 HOLD, THE DAYS ARE MANY COULD GO ALL THAT IS IN YOUR HOUSE THAT 01:26:08 YOUR FATHERS ACCUMULATED TO THIS DAY, SHALL BE CARRIED TO 01:26:13 BABYLON, NOTHING WILL BE LEFT, AND THEY WILL TAKE AWAY SOME OF 01:26:17 YOUR SONS THAT WILL DESCEND TO YOU, AND THEY WILL BE KINGS IN 01:26:25 THE PALACE. YOU SEE, IT IS SORT OF THE LAW 01:26:30 OF LIFE WHEN YOU HAVE A TREASURE, OTHER PEOPLE WANT A 01:26:36 TREASURE. AND ISAIAH SAID GOD SHOULD BE 01:26:41 ORATRESS TOUR. -- THEY ARE GOING TO WANT OUR 01:26:46 TREASURE. HOPEFULLY YOUR TREASURE IS GOD. 01:26:50 HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL WANT TO KNOW ABOUT GOD BECAUSE IT IS 01:26:54 WHAT YOU VALUE. >>> HEZEKIAH, HAD TAKEN HIS EYES 01:26:59 JUST THE ONE WHO HAD DONE THIS MIRACLE FOR HIM, AND HE WAS 01:27:03 NUMBERING ON THIS EARTHLY TREASURE. 01:27:06 YEARS LATER, BABYLON CAME BACK, THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN THE 01:27:10 GOD OF ISRAEL, THEY WANTED THE TREASURE OF ISRAEL AND TOOK IT 01:27:14 ALL AND CARRIED IT OFF. >>> HAD HEZEKIAH RECOGNIZED THIS 01:27:20 OPPORTUNITY FROM SHARING HIS FAITH, INSTEAD OF THE BABYLONI 01:27:27 BABYLONIANS CONQUERING. TERRIBLE MISSED OPPORTUNITY. 01:27:31 >>> RIGHT NOW FRIENDS, WE ARE LIVING IN A PRIME OPPORTUNITY OF 01:27:36 SHARING OUR FAITH. THE WORLD IS ASKING WHAT IS 01:27:38 GOING ON. THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN TURNED 01:27:45 UPSIDE DOWN BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC. 01:27:49 PEOPLES 'HEARTS ARE OPEN. THEY SAY PEOPLE ARE ESPECIALLY 01:27:54 HOPE TO THE GOSPEL DURING SOME KEY TIMES IN THEIR LIFE. 01:28:00 USUALLY IT IS GREAT TIMES OF CHANGE. 01:28:01 ONE WOULD BE A BIRTH, DEATH, MARRIAGE, DORSE, CRISIS, 01:28:08 SICKNESS, THE LOSS OF A JOB, AND I HAVE THROWN IN A PANDEMIC. 01:28:14 >>> RIGHT NOW THE WORLD IS EXTENSIVE TO SPIRITUAL THINGS. 01:28:19 I HAVE FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS THAT ARTISTIC NOT BELIEVERS, AND 01:28:23 THEY STARTED ASKING ME QUESTIONS. 01:28:26 I HAVE FAMILY ASKING ME QUESTIONS ABOUT MY FAITH. 01:28:29 I KNOW PEOPLE WALKING WITH THE LORD AND ONCE DRIFTED AWAY, AND 01:28:34 I GOT A PHONE CALL. PASTOR DOUG, WHAT IS GOING ON? 01:28:38 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? IS THIS A FULFILLMENT OF 01:28:44 PROPHECY? WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY TO TELL 01:28:46 THEM, YES, JESUS IS COMING SOON. >>> I KNOW PEOPLE IN THE WORLD 01:28:52 WILL SCOFF, AND SOME IN THE CHURCH WILL SCOFF, THAT THIS 01:28:59 PANDEMIC MIGHT BE A SIGN AND ENTERING A NEW CHAPTER. 01:29:02 I KNOW THERE WILL BE OTHER PANDEMICS TO COME, BUT NOTHING 01:29:09 WILL EVER BE THE SAME. EVERY TIME THERE IS A CRISIS, 01:29:15 LIKE 9/11. >>> SECOND PETER, LORD I WRITE 01:29:25 TO YOU IN THE EPISTLE, A REMINDER YOU SHOULD BE REMIND. 01:29:31 OF THE WORDS THAT ARE SPOKEN BY THE HOLY PROPHETS, COMMANDED BY 01:29:37 THE APOSTLES, AND THE LORD AND SAVIOUR GOD HIMSELF. 01:29:43 KNOWING THIS FIRST THAT SCOFF ERRS WILL COME IN THE LAST DAYS. 01:29:49 THERE WILL BE PEOPLE PHILOSOPHY OF INDIA IN THE WORLD AND 01:29:55 CHURCH, THAT WILL SCOFF WHEN PEOPLE SAY JESUS IS COMING SOON. 01:30:01 HOW SAD WHERE WE WOULD BE NOT EXCITED ABOUT THE IMMINENT 01:30:08 ARRIVAL OF JESUS. THE BIBLE CALLS IT THE BLESSED 01:30:13 HOPE. HE SAID SCOFF ERRS WILL COME -- 01:30:29 FRIENDS DON'T BE THINKING THAT JESUS FORGOTTEN TO RETURN AND 01:30:33 ESCALATE. I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT TO YOU, 01:30:36 THE BIBLE TELLS US, CHRIST FORE TOLD THERE WOULD BE AN 01:30:41 APPEARANCE OF DELAY PRIOR TO HIS COMING. 01:30:43 WHEN HE GIVES THE SIGNS OF THE SECOND COMING WHERE YOU READ IN 01:30:49 MATTHEW CHAPTER 24. HE CONCLUDES IF THAT EVIL 01:30:53 SERVANT SAYS IN HIS HEART MY LORD DELAYS IN MANY CAN GO. 01:30:57 DO NOT THINK THIS IS TAKING LONGER THAN WHEN WE, OR MAYBE HE 01:31:03 HAS FORGOTTEN, WE WILL GET COMFORTABLE DOWN HERE AND EAT, 01:31:08 DRINK AND BE MERRY. JESUS SAYS IF THE SERVANT, THE 01:31:15 MASTER OF THAT SERVANT WILL COME ON A DAY HE IS NOT LOOKING FOR 01:31:24 HIM. RIGHT AFTER THAT, YOU GO INTO 01:31:30 MATTHEW CHAPTER 25, JESUS TELLS THE PARABLE OF THE 10 VIRGINS, 01:31:38 ALL 10, 5 WIVES, A 100% OF THEM WERE SLEEPING JUST BEFORE THE 01:31:45 CRIER ANNOUNCES THE BRIDE/GROOM IS COMING. 01:31:50 WHILE THE BROAD/GROOM IS DELAYED THE LORD IS PROF SIGHING A 01:31:57 DELAY. >>> FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, 01:32:00 MOSES WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN AND HE SAID I AM COMING BACK, HE DID 01:32:06 NOT GIVE US A DAY AND THE HOUR. HE GOT TIRED OF WAITING. 01:32:12 THEY SAID MOSES WAS OLD, TALL MOUNTAIN, WE CAN'T GO UP THE 01:32:18 MOUNTAIN, MAYBE WE PICK ANOTHER LEADER, PICK ANOTHER GOD. 01:32:23 DURING THE TIME OF DELAY, WHEN MOSES WAS DELAYED, THEY WERE 01:32:27 BEING TESTED, AND MANY OF THEM FAILED THE TEST WITH THE GOLDEN 01:32:33 TEST. COULD THIS BE THE PEOPLE ARE IN 01:32:36 THIS TEST NOW? >>> THOUGH THE VISION DELAY, 01:32:40 WAIT FOR IT, IT WILL NOT DELAY, BUT IT WILL SURELY COME. 01:32:45 THE LORD IS TRYING TO WARN US. DO NOT THINK I HAVE FORGOTTEN, 01:32:51 YOU NEED TO HANG ON BELIEVE JESUS IS P COULD GO SOON. 01:32:56 I BELIEVE THERE ARE SIGNS JESUS IS GIVING US. 01:33:01 THERE ARE SIGNS. AND SOME OF THE 7th DAY 01:33:06 ADVENT'S CHRISTIANS, YOU HAVE THE STOCK MARKED YEAH RATING UP 01:33:10 AND DOWN, SO IT IS GIVING PEOPLE WHIP-LASH. 01:33:15 YOU HAVE A CHORUS THE VOICES AROUND THE WORLD CALLING FOR 01:33:21 SUNDAY LEGISLATION OR SABBATH REGELATION. 01:33:26 LET ME READ YOU THING HERE. HE SAID ON SUNDAY OUR 01:33:35 PARTICIPATION AND THE EUCHARIST HAS A SPECIAL IMPORTANCE. 01:33:39 SUNDAY LIKE THE JEWISH SABBATH IS MEANT TO BE A DAY TO HEAL 01:33:46 OURSELVES, OUR RELATIONSHIPS AND THE WORLD. 01:33:50 CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL WARMING, MAYBE THE WORLD NEEDS A 01:33:56 SABBATH. NOW SINCE THE PANDEMIC, PEOPLE 01:34:00 AROUND THE WORLD CANNOT HELP BUT NOTICE CLIMATE CHANGE HAS 01:34:11 CHANGE, POLLUTION, THERE IS NO HONKING, PEOPLE IN INDIA ARE 01:34:17 SEEING THE I AM LEAHS, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 30 YEARS, PEOPLE 01:34:22 ARE SAYING, WHAT IS THAT? OH! 01:34:25 THAT'S THE HIMALAYA MOUNTAINS. IN VENICE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THERE 01:34:33 WAS FISH IN THE WATER. SO PEOPLE ARE NOTICING 01:34:37 IMPROVEMENTS. LISTEN TO WHAT THE RESPONSE IS. 01:34:42 HERE'S MALE BROWN WRITING IN THE CHRISTIAN POST: THE SHUT DOWN, 01:34:46 WE NEED PERHAPS A SABBATH AND A WEEKLY DEFINE REST. 01:34:53 AS INCONVENIENT OF FORCED SHUT DOWN HAS BEEN, IT ALSO IS A TIME 01:34:58 OF REFLECTION, A TIME OF GROWTH AND DEEPENING. 01:35:02 SOME ARE THINKING THE SHUTDOWN IS IS THAT OF DEFINE RESET. 01:35:12 WHAT IF THAT WAS ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF THE SABBATH. 01:35:15 OF COURSE THIS PASTOR IS TALKING ABOUT SUNDAY. 01:35:20 THE POPE IS SAYING THIS GLOBAL SHUTDOWN, THE ENVIRONMENT IS 01:35:24 REVOLTING FROM IT ALL. HE IS SAYING A PANDEMIC IS 01:35:32 EARTH'S RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. 01:35:35 >>> NATURE WILL NOT FORGIVE OUR TRESPASSES. 01:35:40 DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU DON'T START HEARING NOT JUST THE 01:35:45 BENEFITS IN THE FAMILY FOR A FORCED WEEKLY DAY OF REST, BUT 01:35:51 THE ENVIRONMENT, AS WELL. >>> HERE'S ONE FROM A RADICAL 01:35:56 ENVIRONMENTAL PROPOSAL, A DAY OF REST. 01:35:59 THIS IS THE BAPTIST MAGAZINE. LAST WEEK AS EVIRONMENTALISTS, I 01:36:10 WAS OF A BIBLICAL SOLUTION, A DAY OF REST. 01:36:14 A DAY OF REST IS NOTHING KNEW TO PEOPLE OF FAITH. 01:36:26 LIKEWISE, WE KNOW OUR HEAVENLY FATHER ESTABLISHED THE 7th DAY 01:36:31 AS A DAY OF REST. COULD SOMETHING LIKE A DAY OF 01:36:35 REST, EVERY SIX DAYS, IN OUR AIR QUALITY, AND REDUCE THE DIRE 01:36:43 IMPACTS OF POLLUTION THAT MANY SCIENTISTS ARE PREDICTING. 01:36:49 WHAT IF WE HAD 52 DAYS A YEAR BUT SPREAD IT OUT. 01:36:55 HE GOES ON TO SAY CHICK-FIL-A, CLOSING ON SUNDAYS, AND DAY OF 01:37:08 REST. >>> YOU WATCH AND WAIT WHAT DAY 01:37:13 WILL BE SUGGESTED. >>> HERE'S ANOTHER ONE FROM 01:37:17 FEBRUARY 26th, 2020: EARTH NEEDS A GREEN SABBATH DAY. 01:37:22 EVERY WEEK WE SHOULD TAKE A DAY OF REST, NOT SHOP OR DRIVE. 01:37:30 EVERYONE REST FOR AN ENTIRE DAY. SCIENTISTS RECOGNISE BEHIND THE 01:37:39 SABBATH. NITROGEN OXIDE AND LOOSE 01:37:43 PLUMMETS, THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE ONE DAY OF REST CAN MAKE. 01:37:51 SCIENTISTS SPECULATE IT WOULD REDUCE EMISSIONS DRASTICALLY. 01:38:01 >>> THESE ARE PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD. 01:38:05 PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE SAYING, HEY, MAYBE IT HASN'T 01:38:11 BEEN SO BAD FOR US TO TAKE ONE DAY A WEEK FOR OUR FAMILIES, 01:38:16 REST THE COMPANIES, WORKERS, THE ENVIRONMENT. 01:38:21 >>> SO, MYBE ONE WAY TO LOOK AT THE CURRENT CRISIS TO SEE THE 01:38:28 PLANET'S DESPERATE DEMAND FOR A SABBATH, AND THE PAIR SIT 01:38:34 PARTICULAR ACTIVITY BECOMES -- CLIMATE CO-LAB, M.I.T. 01:38:43 COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE, ONE EMISSION FREE CAN MAKE A 01:38:48 PROFOUND IMPACT ON CHANGING THE CLIMATE. 01:38:51 >>> THE BOSTON POST, JOSEPH, APRIL 2020, LET'S GIVE SERIOUS 01:39:01 THOUGHT TO REINSTATEDDING SOME OF THE SUNDAY CLOSING LAWS. 01:39:06 ONE DAY PER WEEK MODIFIED STAY AT HOME REQUEST. 01:39:12 SUCH AN ACTION WOULD REGULATE A DAY OF REST, FAMILY MEALS, 01:39:19 AND -- WE WILL REDEDICATE EACH SUNDAY, AND WE CAN SAY LIFE IN 01:39:27 AMERICA, -- FRIENDS, THIS IS JUST A FEW SAMPLES. 01:39:30 THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO WAKE UP, AND RECOGNISE 01:39:34 JESUS IS COMING SOON. NOT ONLY THAT, YOU CAN ALSO 01:39:38 SEE -- AND I THINK AS A SIDE NOTE -- REMEMBER THE POPE HAD 01:39:45 SCHEDULED MAY 14th, WAS A DAY WHERE HE WAS INVITING LEADERS OF 01:39:50 THE WORLD, TO COME TOGETHER. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I THINK I 01:39:53 HAVE THAT REFERENCE HERE. YEAH. 01:39:57 POPE SUMMONS WORLD LEADERS, A GLOBAL IMPACT ON EDUCATION IT IS 01:40:01 AN INITIATIVE BY THE VATICAN, POPE FRANCIS, INTERNATIONAL AND 01:40:09 HUMANITARIAN ORGANISATIONS, AS WELL AS ALL BRANCHES OF CIVIL 01:40:13 SOCIETY, TO COMMIT TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY, TO SHAPE 01:40:20 INDIVIDUALS, TO OVERCOME-DIVISION AND CARE FOR THE PLANET. 01:40:25 >>> WE KEEP HEARING THE ECHO. THAT DATE FOR THE PANDEMIC IS 01:40:32 MOVED TO OCTOBER 18. THEY ARE GOING BACK TO REEDUCATE 01:40:37 THE WORLD HOW TO SAVE THE PLANET. 01:40:40 >>> FRIENDS, I SEE SIGNS ALL AROUND US. 01:40:45 POSITIVE SIGNS THAT SHOULD BE EXCITING. 01:40:48 MATTHEW SAYS IN -- THEN THE END SHALL COME. 01:40:55 AND RIGHT NOW, THROUGH THE INTERNET, WE ARE JUST PRAISING 01:40:58 THE LORD. I AM SURE THAT THE MEDIA 01:41:04 MINISTRIES ARE EXPERIENCING WHAT WE ARE AT AMAZING FACTS. 01:41:12 50% GROWTH IN BIBLE SCHOOL, PEOPLE WANTING TO STUDY THE 01:41:17 WORLD. ONLINE TRAINING ON YOUTUBE AND 01:41:20 WEBSITES, AND THE STUDIES GOING OUT. 01:41:23 PEOPLE ARE SUDDENLY TAKING UP A GREAT INTEREST. 01:41:28 IT IS GOING THROUGH SATELLITE, RADIO, INTERNET, WE ARE SEEING 01:41:35 THE GOSPEL GOING TO ALL CORNERS OF THE EARTH. 01:41:40 WEAVY MAIL FROM STATIONS FROM ANT -- ANN ART CALIFORNIA. 01:41:50 THEN THE END WILL COME. SOME OF THE RETRACTIONS ARE ON 01:42:18 CHURCH AND PUBLIC EVANGELISM, THEY WILL BE LIFTED, BUT SOME 01:42:22 DAYS THERE WILL BE RESTRICTIONS TO MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT. 01:42:29 >>> JOHN 9:4, THE NIGHT IS COMING WHEN NO ONE CAN WORK. 01:42:35 JOHN 12:35, THEN JESUS SAID TO THEM, A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, AND 01:42:40 THE LIGHT IS WITH YOU. WALK WHILE YOU HAVE THE LIGHT. 01:42:45 HE WHO WALKS IN DARKNESS DOESN'T KNOW WHERE HE IS GOING. 01:42:50 >>> FRIENDS NOW IS WHEN WE HAVE TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT AND THEN 01:42:54 WE WILL KNOW WHEN JESUS IS COMING. 01:42:57 >>> WE HAVE NO TIME TO LOSE.

THE DAYS WE LIVE ARE SOLEMN AND 01:43:41 IMPORTANT. PLAYINGS, LIKE PAN PANDEMICS, 01:43:47 JUDGMENTS ARE ALREADY -- >>> AS THEY BEGIN TO EASE THE 01:44:05 RESTRICTIONS, I WOULD ASK, FRIENDS, TO SHARE THE GOSPEL. 01:44:08 EVEN NOW, THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE GOSPEL IS THAT WE COME TO 01:44:14 CHRIST AND GO TO CHRIST. SURRENDER FULLY TO JESUS, DURING 01:44:20 THE PRESSURE OPPORTUNITIES. THE DOORS ARE OPEN TO PEOPLE, 01:44:24 BUT THEY WILL NOT ALWAYS BE. IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN 01:44:27 YOUR LIFE, WHAT ARE ARE YOU WAITING FOR? 01:44:30 I THINK THE LORD IS GIVING US WARNING HOW QUICKLY THE WORLD IS 01:44:36 CHANGING AND HOW QUICKLY WE CAN LOSE OUR FREEDOMS. 01:44:40 I THINK THIS IS A FORTE TO WAKE PEOPLE UP. 01:44:45 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD OTHER PEOPLE 01:44:48 INTO THE WEDDING FEAST. >>> I REMEMBER HEARING A STORY 01:44:54 YEARS AGO, I REMEMBER READING THIS WHEN I WAS A KID. 01:45:00 IN NORTH DAKOTA IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER, A SCHOOL BUS TAKING 01:45:05 CHILDREN HOME, GOT CAUGHT IN A TERRIBLE BLIZZARD. 01:45:11 WHITE-OUT CONDITIONS, THE DRIVER SLID OFF INTO A SNOWBANK AND 01:45:18 STUCK. HE PROBABLY SHOULD GO LOOK FOR 01:45:22 HELP. HE TOLD A BOY NAMED TONY, WHO 01:45:27 WAS 12 OR #3 YEARS OLD. WATCH OVER THE KIDS, I WILL 01:45:31 LEAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING AND I WILL SEE IF I CAN GET HELP. 01:45:38 THE BUS DRIVER WENT AND DISAPPEARED. 01:45:43 NOT LONG AFTER HE LEFT, THE ENGINE STOPPED. 01:45:49 SO THE HEATER STOPPED. IMMEDIATELY THE TEMPERATURE IN 01:45:55 THAT SCHOOL BUS BEGAN TO PLUNGE TO SUPER SUB SEER ROW AND THE 01:46:01 KIDS WERE DEVELOPING ICE ON THEIR BREATH. 01:46:04 IT WAS EXTREMELY COLD, AND SOME STARTED TO FALL ASLEEP AND THEY 01:46:08 WERE FREEZING TO DEATH. TONY REALIZED WHAT WAS 01:46:14 HAPPENING. HE GOT THEM UP, AND MOVED THEM 01:46:20 AROUND. SOMETIMES HE WOULD SLUG THEM AND 01:46:23 SHAKE THEM. PRETTY SOON THE DRIVER CAME WITH 01:46:28 A PLOUGH TRUCK AND THEY WERE ALL RESCUED. 01:46:32 TONY WAS LATER HAILED AS A HERO. HE SAID I AM NOT A HERO. 01:46:36 THE TRUTH BE KNOWN, ALL THE WORK I HAD TO DO TO KEEP OTHERS 01:46:43 AWAKE, I WAS KEEPING MYSELF WARM IN THE PROCESS. 01:46:48 >>> DON'T FEEL YOU ARE PERFECT BEFORE YOU SHARE YOUR FAITH. 01:46:55 THERE IS MORE WE CAN DO.
