00:42 Hello and welcome to "Behold the Lamb Presents."
00:45 I truly believe that we have a message today 00:47 that will be inspiring, encouraging 00:50 and be a blessing to each and every one of you 00:53 who choose to study along with us. 00:56 This message contains another small piece of prophecy 01:00 that is being fulfilled even as we speak today. 01:04 We have chosen to entitle today's message 01:06 "In a Few Months." 01:08 Allow me to read to you the very sentence 01:11 from the book "Early Writings" on page 67 01:15 that this title is taken from and this will help to begin 01:19 to put today's message into proper perspective. 01:23 "Said the angel, 'Deny self, ye must step fast.' 01:28 Some of us have had time to get the truth 01:31 and to advance step by step, and every step we have taken 01:35 has given us strength to take the next. 01:38 But now time is almost finished, 01:41 and what we have been years learning, 01:44 they will have to learn in a few months." 01:48 Wow. Time is almost finished. 01:51 We must step fast. 01:53 Others will have to learn in a few months, 01:56 just a few months 01:57 what has taken most of us years to learn. 02:02 This is a sobering prophetic message indeed. 02:06 Just those few words being really understood 02:09 under the unction of the Holy Spirit 02:12 begins to grieve the heart. 02:14 It helps us to examine our lives 02:17 and to think about the lives of our loved ones. 02:20 So get ready today 02:22 as we spend another exciting hour 02:24 with Pastor Kenny Shelton as he shares with us 02:27 just a few examples 02:29 of the fulfillment of this prophecy. 02:32 But first we are blessed to listen to a song 02:34 that is entitled "The Wonder of It All" 02:37 as sung by Emma McDonald from the 3ABN Worship Center. 02:51 I have found a grace to save me 02:58 In a vain and simple truth 03:06 I have made the sweetest journey 03:14 To the innocence of You 03:23 A place of what I never seek 03:27 And 03:31 It was really overwhelming 03:37 When the mountain seem too tall 03:40 How we seem like nothing more 03:44 Compare to the wonder of it all 03:55 There is a truth that's so amazing 04:02 It has turned my heart around 04:10 There is a peace that gives me comfort 04:17 When my head is hanging down 04:27 When the tiny thread of faith is nearly gone 04:34 Oh, it's always overwhelming 04:40 When the mountain seem to tall 04:44 And they seem like nothing then 04:47 Compare to the wonder of it all 04:55 Mysteries of God I'll never understand 05:03 The way this love can fill into soul 05:10 And just to think 05:12 I'm living in the palm of His hand 05:18 It's all my doubt and heart we need to know 05:43 When I lay down in the evening 05:50 And I close my eyes to rest 05:58 I can wake up in the morning 06:06 Knowing I've had His best 06:15 'Cause I know my worth of love around is deep 06:23 And I can't tell every man 06:28 How that every time I fall 06:32 He puts me up and I am safely 06:36 Held by the one who love it all 06:48 Held by the one who love it all 07:12 Praise the Lord. 07:14 Glad you joined us today here at Behold the Lamb. 07:16 We have an exciting program. 07:18 We are gonna be talking about prophecy. 07:21 Now again prophecy being fulfilled 07:23 before our very eyes. 07:25 Things are happening among God's people today 07:28 that may shock some of you 07:30 because it's been prophesied these things will take place 07:34 and they are and we have evidence 07:36 of these things and we have call. 07:38 People are calling in 07:39 and saying some marvelous things 07:41 how God is working in their life, 07:43 and it's so encouraged us that we got so excited, 07:46 we could hardly stand it around here. 07:48 We decided we want to share these things with you. 07:51 So I pray today that you will, you will be praying 07:53 as we are gonna kneel here 07:55 and have prayer in just a moment 07:56 because we are gonna talk about-- 07:57 when something you say a matter of months, 08:00 you know, that's a short amount of time. 08:02 Let's see what this is all about 08:04 and we are gonna to God in prayer. 08:05 We are gonna ask for the Holy Spirit to help us 08:08 as we go through here 08:09 because we want this to be an encouragement to you, 08:12 so that you can be ready to meet Jesus. 08:13 Let's pray. Shall we? 08:17 Loving Father in heaven, we thank You again 08:18 for the privilege of prayer. 08:20 We thank You, we can call You our heavenly Father. 08:22 Today, we come in the name of Jesus, 08:24 we come claiming His blood. 08:26 We come boldly before the throne 08:28 because of who He is not because of us, 08:32 anything we've ever said or done 08:34 but we want to be covered by thy blood today. 08:36 Forgive us of our sins and mistakes, 08:37 anything we said or done 08:39 that's not pleasing in eyesight. 08:41 Lord, bless as now we pray open the ears, the eyes, the hearts 08:44 of everyone of Your children 08:46 that we may be inspired to greater heights 08:49 as we look to You the author and the finisher of our faith. 08:52 Bless us now we pray to this 08:54 and accompany us by the power of thy Holy Spirit 08:56 and we will thank You in advance 08:58 in Jesus' name, amen. 09:01 Isn't that wonderful, we can go to God in prayer 09:03 and we can pray 09:05 and know that God is going to hear 09:07 and going to bless us with His power. 09:09 How something I do-- I really want to read 09:11 before I get into this message and I just-- 09:14 I found it, I was in my desk just before the program 09:17 and I saw it, I read it many times. 09:19 But this is actually was written in 1997, 1997. 09:24 Now we know that the devil is angry. 09:27 We know that he is trying to discourage God's people. 09:30 So we want to encourage you today 09:31 by some things that the Lord has allowed us to see, to hear, 09:35 and we want to give those back to you to help you. 09:37 But I was reading this here 09:39 because I remember a time back in 1997 in our church 09:43 that was going through a little difficult time. 09:45 The enemy was trying to come in 09:47 and he was trying to cause division and separation 09:49 and some different type of doctrine 09:51 and so on was being taught in the church. 09:54 And so we are taking stand for what was truth. 09:57 And very, very interesting not long after that, 10:00 oh, the Holy Spirit was good and all worked out wonderful 10:02 but my mother, my mother sat down one evening 10:05 and she wrote a little poem. 10:08 It's a page long here but you just bear with me. 10:11 This is special to me. 10:12 This is-- my mother wrote this 10:14 and she wrote it about the problems 10:15 that were going on. 10:17 Let me tell you, they are still going on today. 10:19 They are going on everywhere 10:20 but God's people are rising right to the cause. 10:23 He calls their names, were rising by the power of God 10:25 and were doing what? 10:27 Mighty things in the name of Jesus. 10:29 Notice what this whole page here 10:31 and I want you to just kind of think about every word 10:33 as I read this to you. 10:35 It says, one day old Satan came to earth to see 10:39 what he could do. 10:41 He said, I will visit the Herrin Church 10:44 and sit right in the pews. 10:46 The Herrin Church has troubled me 10:48 for such a long, long time. 10:51 It's time that I get busy and work upon their minds. 10:55 These people used to love the Lord with all their heart 10:57 and their soul but I began to trouble them 11:01 because this is my goal. 11:04 I will start by hurting feelings, 11:07 then I will gossip all day long, 11:10 then I will crucify the pastor because he's been too strong. 11:14 I will discredit all of the principles 11:17 just what I can do. 11:19 It's not a very big job and this is very true. 11:23 Now notice this, it only takes the working off of hearts 11:27 just one or two. 11:29 While the people's out of unity, 11:31 I will tear this church apart. 11:34 Interesting, stay with me now. 11:35 Notice, I will tear this church apart. 11:38 Because they failed to read and they failed to pray, 11:42 I have slipped right into their heart. 11:45 But if they start to organize and get back all their love 11:49 and consider others feelings and think on things above, 11:53 notice this, then I will just have to leave them. 11:57 Interesting. 11:58 And let Jesus have His way because they already know that 12:01 He will come again some day. 12:04 So they must put aside these things 12:07 if they expect to go, notice this, 12:09 I wish that I had been different 12:12 but it's too late for me I know. 12:14 Talking about the enemy notice. 12:16 If I can't take this church with me 12:18 then others I must find because I'm very strong you see 12:24 but I will have to leave all behind. 12:27 Written by in the guidance of the Holy Spirit 12:30 and it was on Sabbath morning of July the 26th, 1997 12:34 by my mother Goldie Seddon Shelton. 12:36 So I thought it was very interesting 12:38 and she handed that to me and it's so talked about 12:40 the things that were going on. 12:42 And to me it was an encouragement. 12:44 I want to be an encouragement to you 12:45 because the enemy knows as long as we pull together 12:48 and we study the truths and we stand side by side 12:51 that the enemy has no power over us. 12:54 We have been seeing, we have been seeing 12:57 the hand of a mighty God 12:59 working here in these last days. 13:01 We talked that-- I believe that door 13:03 of probation is still open, 13:05 that God is still calling His people 13:07 and He is calling the 11th hour workers. 13:10 He is calling many in to the fold 13:12 to give this message out 13:14 and it's very interesting in our title "In a Few Months." 13:18 What does that really mean, in a few months? 13:21 Well, my wife read that if you remember 13:23 in the very beginning but if you allow me 13:25 I'm gonna take the book in "Early Writings" page 67 13:28 and read just a few-- 13:30 Remember these are some foundation things 13:31 that we are going to be building on. 13:33 This tells where we are at in the history of this world. 13:37 We are gonna actually start on page 66. 13:41 Now bear with me as I read but those of you 13:43 who have been reading I believe that 13:45 you are going to understand. 13:46 Those of you are not 13:47 and some of this maybe over your head, 13:49 you maybe tuning in for the first time, 13:50 you say, I don't understand that bless your heart. 13:52 The Holy Spirit will help you too. 13:54 I know, I know the Holy Spirit is going to help you. 13:56 But here for many people who have been studying 13:58 this message for a long time this will ring true. 14:02 Notice what it says on page 66 and onward right here. 14:06 It says notice, "If so, you must die 14:09 and you must live to self." 14:10 This is the way it starting out. 14:12 We must die to self 14:13 and these words here are so familiar 14:15 especially in Adventism here's what it says. 14:17 "Get ready, get ready, get ready. 14:21 You must have a greater preparation 14:23 than you now have, for the day of the Lord cometh, both cruel" 14:27 notice this "with wrath and fierce anger, 14:29 to lay the land desolate 14:32 and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it." 14:35 And then it goes on to say, "Sacrifice all to God. 14:38 Lay all upon the altar..." 14:40 And talking about self, talking about property. 14:43 "All are living sacrifice." 14:46 I like this line and this rings true. 14:48 It's going to take all, we, you, me all of us. 14:52 "It will take all to enter glory." 14:55 You are not gonna be able to withhold anything, 14:57 it's gonna take all to enter glory. 14:59 Then it goes on about talking about 15:00 laying your treasures on up in heaven. 15:02 Now let me just go right down to here 15:04 and you heard some of it 15:06 at the beginning of the program. 15:07 Here's what it said. 15:08 "Said, 'Deny self, you must step fast.'" 15:11 Some of us who had time..." Notice this. 15:13 "To get the truth and to advance step by step... 15:17 "Notice what happens. 15:19 "Every step we have taken 15:20 has given us strength to take the next. 15:24 But now time is almost finished..." 15:27 Somebody listen. 15:28 "Time is almost finished, 15:30 what we have been years learning, 15:34 they will have to learn in a few months." 15:37 Did you notice the subject? In a few months. 15:41 So it's talking to us here notice that 15:43 there will be people coming in. 15:45 Some of us have been for years 15:46 and we still don't know what's going on 15:48 and some people is going to come 15:49 in just before probation close, just before Jesus comes 15:52 and they are gonna learn in a matter of months 15:55 what has taken us years. 15:56 The article goes on 15:58 because I want to finish it what it says. 15:59 Notice it, "They will have much to unlearn 16:03 and much to learn again." 16:04 Keep this in mind as I share some letters 16:06 with you here in a moment. 16:07 "Those who would not receive the mark of the beast 16:10 and his image when the decree goes forth, 16:13 must have decision now to say, 16:15 Nay, we will not regard the institution of the beast." 16:20 What an awesome time. We would have to step fast. 16:22 Why? Because time is closing up. 16:25 God's people are surfacing. 16:27 The Holy Spirit is reaching out and touching people 16:31 and drawing them into the cause. 16:33 Drawing them and oh, I'm amazed 16:36 as we get some of these phone calls, many, many, 16:38 where people just in a matter have-- 16:40 listen to me carefully, in a matter of months 16:43 and in some cases 16:45 and I will read letter in a matter of weeks. 16:47 Didn't know anything about this message 16:49 in a matter of weeks they have already grasp 16:50 some of the vital truths 16:52 and they are following them by the grace of God. 16:55 What does that tell you? 16:57 That tells you we are nearing the end of time, doesn't it? 17:00 And so with nearing the end of time 17:01 we must realize, this must-- 17:03 well, I want to work on your mind, 17:04 I want you to say, oh, we are maybe near 17:07 than what we thought because the Bible tells us 17:11 in the Book of Matthew verse 44. 17:13 "Therefore be you also ready..." 17:15 You remember that. 17:16 "For in such an hour as you think 17:18 not the Son of man cometh." 17:20 Be ready, get ready, take some steps 17:23 where people is gonna be coming in, 17:25 the 11th hour workers learning, learning, learning, 17:27 grasping the truths quickly. 17:28 Not debating over and we are saying 17:30 well, you know, I'm not sure if this is going to be accept-- 17:33 they hear them, 17:35 they are honest in heart, they are praying. 17:37 Remember all these folks, all these folks 17:39 that are calling in have been praying as mentioned 17:41 in the beginning of the program. 17:43 They have been praying what is truth 17:45 and they are willing to walk in the truth 17:46 and it's a matter of lifestyle changes 17:49 so different to them but yet they are willing to do 17:52 and what an encouragement it is because it helps me to know 17:55 that we are nearing the end of time. 17:56 This is a sign, this is the point, 17:59 this is something God has given this church 18:00 so we can say, yes! 18:03 Yes, this is it, just before probation closes. 18:06 Most people don't know that. They don't want to hear. 18:08 The devil is trying his best to stop it 18:10 but you know what, he can't. 18:12 Let me just share a few things with you. 18:14 Now remember in a few months 18:17 this letter here it comes from California. 18:18 We won't mention names, 18:20 we don't want to embarrass anyone 18:22 but it's very interesting they call in. 18:24 we have to stop packs of, you know, 18:25 stop this packs of this all kind of people calling in 18:28 and have a request and they are wanting the DVDs 18:31 and they are wanting CDs 18:32 and they are wanting to know more about Jesus. 18:35 So we are grateful and thankful 18:36 for these especially when they began to relate 18:39 what God has done for them. 18:41 It's encouraging isn't it? 18:42 Now notice this 18:44 and what it's talking about here. 18:45 Now this individual here has just accepted 18:47 the message of Adventism for few months. 18:51 What's our title? In a few months. 18:54 In just a few months 18:56 and oh, if we just had time to go 18:58 and just talk about all these things. 19:00 Here's what was happening with this person here. 19:02 This person, California, they were praying 19:04 for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. 19:07 They were praying that the Spirit of God 19:08 will just get a hold of them and just encourage them 19:11 and strengthen them 19:13 and do something marvelous in their life. 19:15 And so they were just praying 19:17 and they would get up early of the morning. 19:18 There's been several hours of praying 19:20 that God would lead them into truth. 19:22 They could find truth and had a study 19:24 and pray for the power of the Holy Spirit. 19:28 Said he was praying one morning, 19:30 says praying for the power of the Holy Spirit. 19:31 Oh, I want the Holy Spirit to come. 19:33 I know the Holy Spirit convicts and teaches us 19:35 and gives us victory in our life. 19:37 Gives us power to witness and I want that power, 19:40 I'm not sure how that can be attained. 19:43 I'm just-- I'm praying about it. 19:45 So she was impressed to go and turn on the TV set 19:49 and she turned on 3ABN and as she turned 3ABN 19:52 on the Behold the Lamb was on. 19:55 And interesting notice, she was praying for what? 19:59 For the power of the Holy Spirit. 20:01 How can be accomplished in the life 20:03 and what was "Behold the Lamb" talking about. 20:05 It was talking about the Holy Spirit, 20:06 the power of the series of the Holy Spirit. 20:10 It answered every question that that women had. 20:13 How encouraged she became 20:15 and she began to look at these things 20:16 and she said, "Oh, this is exactly what I want. 20:20 This is exactly what I've needed 20:22 so that I can continue to grow for Jesus." 20:25 Do you realize this lady here we're talking about here, 20:28 still had things in her life 20:31 that should not have been there? 20:32 Let me just-- just name the couple of them 20:34 'cause she told me about it and I wrote them down. 20:37 She is praying for the power of the Holy Spirit. 20:40 She begins to see that series of "Behold the Lamb." 20:42 She began to follow them 20:43 and put them in practice by faith. 20:45 All because God gave her victory 20:47 over the cigarettes, 20:48 He gave her victory over the tobacco, the alcohol, 20:51 and other things in her life. 20:53 The Spirit of God began to give her victory 20:56 through the power of the Holy Spirit 20:57 and she was praising God because she said, 20:59 I praise God that I've found 3ABN. 21:02 I'm thankful that I've found "Behold the Lamb." 21:06 See God is working on people 21:07 who are praying for what is truth. 21:11 Interesting in a matter of months, 21:13 so immediately she goes and finds her a church. 21:15 But sometimes you know, you get churches 21:17 and all churches are not alike 21:18 and some of you won't like to hear that 21:20 but it's true. 21:22 But God's bringing people in who are enlightening 21:24 their minds so quick they can detect, 21:28 now stay with me just a minute. 21:29 They can detect some of you who've been on the pews 21:32 almost all of your lives 21:34 and you are not really converted. 21:36 These people are converted when they come in 21:38 and they are not trying to just look at people. 21:39 They know they'll look to Jesus 21:41 but it's very obvious that we are not doing the things 21:43 that we should be doing. 21:45 Now it's a matter of salvation. 21:47 But we need to be obedient to the word of God. 21:50 And so they can become discouraged 21:52 but we encourage them here 21:54 to take their eyes off of the men 21:55 and put them on Jesus. 21:57 Let me tell you what a change took place 21:59 in these individuals' life. 22:01 Read something and jotted in down 22:02 as I was thinking on this and praying about this. 22:05 3 Testimonies, 270. 22:06 This may be a little bit heavy duty for some. 22:09 Why? 22:10 Because we are rejecting things 22:12 that we know that we should be doing. 22:14 Here it says, "God's displeasure 22:16 is upon His people, He will not manifest His power 22:20 in the midst of them while sins exist among them 22:23 and are fastened on those in responsible positions." 22:27 Wow, we have an obligation. 22:30 This is the point. 22:32 The Holy Spirit is calling people, bringing them in, 22:33 they are running in a matter of months, 22:35 what has taken us years to learn 22:38 and some of us years we've been learning 22:40 and we've been doing 22:41 and listen, it shouldn't take years, 22:43 it shouldn't take me years. 22:44 The Holy Spirit can teach us more in five minutes 22:46 than learned men of the world can in life time. 22:49 But we've been lazy and God's calling in people 22:51 to help finish this work 22:53 and they are saying we know these things. 22:54 The Holy Spirit is telling us truth 22:56 and they are willing to walk in these things. 22:59 Called another individual or an individual called in 23:02 and said we are learning so much. 23:04 Talking about tuning into 3ABN. We are learning so much. 23:09 What an encouragement and we are talking about 23:12 something when people that are in near--` 23:14 A little more elderly. 23:16 But they are so exited about the coming of Jesus 23:20 and as they are attending the church, 23:21 they are finding out that there's more than 23:23 just going to church, sitting on the pew 23:24 and we say doing nothing. 23:27 They feel a calling of the Spirit to go 23:30 and to warn the world of the coming of Jesus. 23:33 So they began to, this lady here, 23:35 just a matter of months, what? 23:37 We're going to give studies. 23:39 "I want to go give Bible studies, 23:41 I want to try teach others what I've been learning here 23:43 in just a matter of a little bit of time here, 23:45 few months, I'm learning and I want to share it." 23:48 And starts going knocking on doors 23:49 and trying to get Bible studies and then you know, set out 23:53 and I felt a calling to start passing out some books. 23:58 No one else assume that church was passing out book, 24:00 no one was seem to do anything. 24:03 She said, you know, Holy Spirit impressed me, 24:05 you go out if you are the only one. 24:08 Think about this. 24:10 Somebody new comes in, all of this is new to them 24:11 but they were empowered by the Spirit of God, 24:14 and they are saying, "Oh, I need to do these things, 24:17 I'm learning, it's changed my life. 24:19 It's changed every thing, my direction and I love it 24:22 and I just want to share it with others. 24:24 So, what the lady told me is going to interest you. 24:26 I'm not waiting on a meeting or board meeting 24:29 to say I can't pass out or I can't, I'm going on 24:31 because the Holy Spirit has asked me to do that. 24:34 Wow, how encouraging that is. 24:37 How encouraging is the Holy Spirit, 24:39 it inspires. 24:41 But you know what? 24:43 Some of us are not doing it but I'm gonna warn you. 24:44 Listen, the Holy Spirit is going to bypass 24:47 those of us who are not listening. 24:49 Let me read you another quote 24:50 that I thought kind of went along with 24:51 what we're talking about here. 24:53 Again, we hear this wonderful news 24:54 of what God's people are rising up 24:57 and just going forward and doing exactly what God said 25:00 to "Go ye into all of the world," 25:01 get this gospel out. 25:03 But some of us are not rising up 25:04 and Second Selected Message 16, notice what this says. 25:09 It says, "God's Spirit..." Notice. 25:11 "Will pass by those who have had 25:13 their day of test and opportunity." 25:17 What? 25:18 The Spirit is going to "Pass by those 25:20 who you have had their day of test and opportunity, 25:24 but have not distinguished the voice of God 25:27 or has appreciated the moves of the Spirit." 25:30 Notice this. 25:32 Underline this, look it up, read it for yourself. 25:34 It's gonna encourage you. 25:37 If you are not been encouraged, well, this will encourage you 25:38 because notice this, "Then thousands, 25:43 then thousands in the eleventh hour will see 25:47 and acknowledge the truth." 25:49 There are those who had opportunity, 25:51 they haven't seized it. 25:53 They are doing nothing about it 25:54 but God is going to raise in the last days, 25:56 thousands upon thousands that will hear this truth. 25:59 They'll acknowledge it, they will accept it. 26:02 The eleventh hour workers oh, don't you want to be 26:04 one of those" Well, I do. 26:06 This is exciting when I see people. 26:08 We are talking many people, 26:09 we are talking in their 70s working for God. 26:13 Oh, what an encouragement that is. 26:15 When I hear about their lifestyle, 26:18 things of the past, things that they used to do. 26:20 They turn on 3ABN, many times just to get 26:23 "Behold the Lamb" and we love it 26:25 because they call so we know that 26:26 they are watching "Behold the Lamb." 26:28 They'll say, my life has changed. 26:31 My family hardly recognizes me, I've so changed, why? 26:36 Because I've fastened my eyes, my heart on Jesus 26:40 and I become so encouraged and my life has changed. 26:42 I'm not the same and that's exactly 26:45 the way it should be as a Christian. 26:47 When you accept Christ in your heart, 26:48 you should not be the same 26:49 and if you're still the same you were 26:51 when you accepted, something is wrong. 26:53 And when we get these calls, such an encouragement. 26:56 Let me share another one with you that it's just, 27:00 it's so encouraged me that just brings tears 27:02 to your eyes and to your heart. 27:05 We are talking about a lady here in her 80s. 27:08 80s. 27:10 She calls. 27:12 She lives in Nevada 27:14 and she'd been there about 50 years. 27:17 She found, listen carefully. 27:19 She found 3ABN three months ago. 27:25 She's been there 50 years, 27:27 the signal's been there a long time, 27:30 she could've gotten years ago but she didn't get it. 27:33 Three months ago, she tunes in 27:34 and she sees the program on there, 27:36 many of the programs and also "Behold the Lamb" 27:40 and she begins to watch them and the Holy Spirit says, 27:43 when truth was spoken, this is truth walk ye in it. 27:46 How difficult it would be for this lady? 27:50 Why? 27:51 Well, as a young girl you know, maybe in her teens 27:54 and so on and so forth, she met the man that 27:58 she was going to marry. 28:00 He was a Catholic man. 28:01 He was you know pretty staunch, 28:03 we call it in the family and so and so forth 28:05 and so they counseled together before the marriage 28:07 and he convinced her that 28:10 she needed to become of his faith, 28:11 the Catholic faith. 28:13 And she agreed that'd be fine 28:16 and so then they had four children 28:18 and they raised all four children 28:20 in the Catholic schools and raised them 28:22 in the Catholic church and they graduated, 28:24 went to college and man, they've got 28:26 you know, big jobs, good paying jobs 28:28 and anyhow, you know what? 28:31 This could be 60 years or so. 28:34 But now, 80 years old, little over 80 years old, 28:37 she hears these truths. 28:41 As soon as she hears these truths, 28:42 she said this is what I've been praying for. 28:45 This is what I've been looking for all these years. 28:48 "I've been looking for this the Seventh day Sabbath. 28:52 I've accepted that in my life. 28:53 I observed the Seventh-day Sabbath 28:55 now, in a matter of what? 28:57 Three months. 28:59 I was talking to her on a Friday, 29:01 and it's very interesting. 29:04 She said, well, when I was getting later on a Friday, 29:05 she said, "Well, now you have to get things 29:07 kind of in an order here 29:08 because," listen to me, "this is preparation day." 29:12 Wow. 29:14 She's never been thought these things 29:15 before by anything or anybody till she said 29:18 "I just happened to turn," listen I just happened to turn. 29:21 She was praying, the Holy Spirit would use her. 29:24 She wanted to be saved in God's kingdom. 29:26 She wanted to know the truth. 29:28 She wanted little something more in her life. 29:30 Even at this age, she wanted more. 29:33 And she said, "By accident, I found 3ABN." 29:38 You see, it had been there all the time for years 29:40 but she hadn't found it for some reason. 29:43 Sometimes we don't find these things 29:45 because we are not ready and we won't accept them. 29:47 That it's a certain time in our life, 29:49 sometimes the truth really hits and we make a decision. 29:53 She's a Sabbath keeper. 29:54 Listen, no one has visited her that I know of. 29:59 She has no one that coming down 30:00 and trying to convince her of anything. 30:02 She's just on her own saying, 30:03 "I looked up at a Seventh-day Adventist Church to go to." 30:07 Wow, on their own? Why? 30:10 She's been watching, she's been reading 30:12 and been studying and said, this is truth. 30:13 I want to walk in this truth. 30:15 But now she says this, 30:17 "I have a burden for my children. 30:19 What am I going to do?" 30:21 What am I going to do, four grown older children 30:26 and she almost was crying on the phone and what, what? 30:30 "I know, I taught them the wrong thing. 30:35 My first response was, "Did you know 30:37 you were teaching them the wrong thing? 30:39 She said, "No, I didn't. 30:40 I thought I was doing the right thing." 30:41 I said, "Don't you worry, 30:43 God's going to handle it for you." 30:44 God is going to handle it. Why? 30:46 Because you were doing the best, you knew how to do. 30:49 God will honor that. 30:51 God's going to honor those prayers 30:52 of this faithful mother who has a burden, why? 30:57 To give to her children what has affected her life. 31:00 What has changed her life, she's not the same. 31:05 And then she said something interesting. 31:08 You know, she said, "I'm learning so much 31:10 so fast right now, all these beautiful truths," 31:13 and she said, "right now I'm studying in the word. 31:16 Listen, I'm studying in the word about 31:18 clean and unclean food. 31:22 As God reveals it to me, 31:23 that's why it's going to be in my life." 31:25 It's all that it takes. 31:27 Just praying for God to lead and guide you into truth 31:31 and then as he reveals that truth, 31:32 say, "Thank you, Lord for it." 31:34 Don't say I can't, I won't. 31:36 God reveals to those who are honest in heart 31:38 and they will follow Him. 31:41 She said, "I'm just learning these things. 31:45 Do you think it was an accident? 31:47 You think it was an accident, 31:49 this lady just tuned in or just found 3ABN? 31:53 Not at all. 31:55 We are sending her more information. 31:56 We are sending her more DVDs 31:58 and things that will help her to encourage. 31:59 She is not out there alone. 32:02 We're trying to help her find some other people that 32:03 will be a help to her. 32:06 What a blessing when you hear these things. 32:08 Remember, she learned in a matter of months, 32:11 more than some of us who'd been there for years. 32:16 Probation is about to close. Jesus is soon to come. 32:21 Let me share another one that we've talked about here 32:23 for two or three weeks at least around here. 32:25 I'm talking two or three weeks now. 32:27 Remember, one of the signs of the coming of Jesus 32:29 before probation closes, 32:31 the eleventh hour workers come in 32:33 and they do what? 32:34 Come on, somebody. 32:35 They learn in a matter of months. 32:37 And they have to unlearn and learn again what truth is. 32:39 But they do it in a matter of months. 32:41 They don't dilly-dally around like 32:43 some of you have been doing in the church. 32:45 For years you've heard the message 32:46 but you can't explain anything. 32:49 You really don't know what you believe. 32:50 What's wrong? 32:52 How are these people learning these things? 32:54 Because they've opened their heart 32:55 and their mind to the Holy Spirit 32:57 and the Holy Spirit is speaking 32:58 to their voice into their heart. 33:00 Let me share another with you. 33:03 We've been talking about this mission 33:04 two or three weeks with the lady in New York. 33:08 Interesting because, this lady has been 33:12 going through some tremendous things. 33:15 I mean some of the tremendous things. 33:16 She's bee going, you know, "I had some problems," 33:18 and then, I won't go into detail 33:20 but trouble in her own home and in her marriage 33:23 and her husband's had left her 33:26 and she got hit by a car and all kind of things. 33:29 She's was about to lose everything 33:31 and didn't know where she'd have a place to live 33:32 and I think she was a Messianic Jew, I think. 33:37 And all of her life, a Christian lady, 33:40 but so many bad things had happened. 33:41 She didn't know what was going to happen next. 33:45 No money, no hurry, no place to live 33:47 and just practically didn't leave her with anything 33:49 and she began to cry out to God. 33:51 She's got a little room I understand. 33:52 They called that a prayer room and she went in that. 33:54 Some of us need to have a prayer room. 33:56 Some of us need to have a designated spot 33:58 where we go and we spend time with God 34:00 and God's going to hear. 34:02 We need to designate some time that we pray every day, 34:06 morning, noon or night. 34:09 She began to cry out to God. 34:11 Everything seemed to be against her. 34:12 Nothing seems is going to work out. 34:15 She needed direction. She wanted to know about truth. 34:20 God, I need to know why all these things are happening. 34:22 I just don't, I don't know what to do. 34:28 And so, that one day she decided to sit, 34:30 now remember, she had a TV, that's about all she had left, 34:32 not very many of these things of this earth. 34:35 As far as I understand, 34:37 it didn't have an outside antenna, 34:38 it didn't have cable, didn't have satellite dish, 34:40 didn't have any way to get a signal into the house. 34:44 She could just play some tapes I think with it. 34:46 That's about it. 34:47 She got ready and turned it on and go watch some tapes, 34:49 entered, somebody play close attention. 34:52 This is three and four weeks old. 34:55 She turned the TV on, 3ABN came in to her home. 35:02 There was no way, no way for that signal 35:05 to get in that house and "Behold the Lamb" was on. 35:11 It changed her whole life. 35:13 It gave her direction and answered the questions 35:15 that she had. 35:18 She was so encouraged by it. 35:21 She said, "I tell you, as soon as I heard about 35:23 the Seventh-day Sabbath, how wonderful. 35:25 I've accepted the Seventh-day Sabbath 35:29 and I can't help it, I wanted to tell others 35:32 and I'm going to be giving them Bible studies." 35:34 It's very difficult when you're-- 35:36 I think it's a walker or wheelchair 35:37 that she's still in from the accident. 35:39 "But I want to tell others and I'm going to give 35:41 some Bible studies and I want to pass out books, 35:43 I want to do something." 35:44 And she said it was by accident, this came in. 35:49 Was it? Not at all. 35:53 Two or three weeks later, after her first contact 35:56 with "Behold the Lamb" here, she's still getting that signal 36:00 in her house and she shouldn't. 36:03 Is God able? 36:05 Yes, she's learning in a matter of weeks, 36:07 matter of months, what has taken us years 36:09 and she's accepting it, she embody 36:11 or just grasping around and hugging this truth. 36:14 She called me last week in Sabbath morning. 36:17 She said, "I don't know exactly, 36:19 I don't know exactly how to say this 36:22 because of my religion in past. 36:24 But would you be my pastor?" 36:29 How interesting? 36:31 "I don't know if God would ever allow me 36:32 to come to your area or whatever it might be 36:35 but I just, I feel the unction of the Spirit." 36:38 Others who have called her at specific times 36:41 and met with the needs that she had at that very moment 36:44 when she was questioning some thing. 36:45 Somebody from the office would call 36:47 and it was perfect timing. 36:49 God's timing is always perfect timing. 36:51 Signals that shouldn't be, 36:53 truths in the matter of just weeks. 36:57 Probation is closing. Jesus is soon to come. 37:00 This is a sign in a matter of months 37:02 people are calling in, these are true. 37:05 Very interesting what she said. 37:08 She says, "God reveals the truth, 37:09 I told them by God's grace, 37:11 I will walk into all those truths, 37:13 regardless of the change that has to take place. 37:15 I'm sharing with family, I'm sharing with anybody 37:17 that I can share with. 37:18 I'm so excited, I cannot tell you." 37:21 In fact, she was so excited, we got excited around here. 37:24 Happened to talk to her, I think it was Sister Karen 37:27 and Debby and my wife and myself. 37:29 We set on speaker phone and we talked to her. 37:32 It brought such joy to our hearts 37:33 to realize not only 37:35 she is fulfilling Bible prophecy, 37:36 but such woman or a man of God, any of these people who, 37:39 the Holy Spirit has worked on, 37:41 they are coming out and they are being separate. 37:43 And they are following Jesus with their whole heart. 37:45 They are not dilly-dallying around like many, 37:47 some of you maybe have doing or maybe I'm doing. 37:50 Are you still with me? 37:53 By the grace of God, we won't be following. 37:55 We won't be doing what the world is doing. 37:57 We are going to separate from the world. 37:58 We are going to beg dare to be different. 38:01 Interesting, this lady said, I found it just fascinating. 38:06 She said, "Years ago," you think God's not at work? 38:12 And you know what? 38:13 It takes some times years, 38:15 how sad, years of the working of the Holy Spirit, 38:18 working of the Holy Spirit, not giving up on you. 38:22 It's when you give up on the Holy Spirit, it's trouble. 38:25 Years ago, somebody had come to visit. 38:29 Somebody was giving away books 38:32 and somebody gave couple of books 38:35 and those books were put up on the shelves 38:37 and they you know, we call it gathering dust 38:39 and not looked at for years and very, very interesting, 38:44 after seeing these truths and hearing them, 38:46 the Holy Spirit is saying, 38:48 "This is the way, walk me in it." 38:49 "Yes, I'm accepted by God's grace." 38:53 So I began to dig a little bit into something, 38:55 just to find out and I went down 38:57 and I found a couple of books 38:59 and I looked those books that has been given years earlier 39:01 but had never read these books 39:03 and just kind of opened the first page 39:04 and it said, all written in 18, I forgot, 1897 or something. 39:09 Oh, I knew right then." 39:12 She said, "I wanted to know about identifying marks 39:14 that God's last day church 39:15 and the Spirit of Prophecy is one of those 39:17 and it was two books written by Ellen White. 39:23 Wow, God was there all the time, 39:28 books that had already been given there. 39:31 God knows your heart if you are really looking 39:33 and you're really ready to follow him. 39:36 He will make a way. 39:37 But too many of you are holding on to the things of this world. 39:40 You'd like to have heaven, you'd like to have the world, 39:42 it doesn't work that way, you know that. 39:46 These people that are calling 39:47 in a matter of months, matter of weeks, 39:50 and have given all to Christ. 39:53 They are willing to follow Him. 39:56 They are willing to do by the grace of God. 39:57 We can't do it, we are not talking 39:59 being a matter of works that are done. 40:00 We know you are saved by grace through faith. 40:03 But we will be obedient 40:04 and we will walk in His footsteps. 40:07 These are so exciting when people call 40:10 and say, "This is what's happening in my life." 40:15 People are calling from positions and schools 40:20 and different things, in high positions. 40:21 I won't mention any more about that. 40:23 But they are wanting to know, really what truth is 40:25 because a different direction, 40:27 it seems that some are going and they are saying, 40:30 "Can you help us on these issues?" 40:34 But how interesting because that little 40:37 "Review and Herald" article, February, the 25th, 1902 40:42 and this is Christ our righteousness, Pg123. 40:45 So we need to keep these things in mind. 40:47 Now remember, we are hearing the beauty 40:49 of the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit 40:50 being poured out upon people. 40:52 They are taking a stand 40:55 and yet, what does that say for us 40:56 who've been around a long time in this movement. 40:59 Now remember, if you are not in this movement, 41:00 it maybe little deep for you, 41:02 still just let the Holy Spirit speak to you. 41:04 There is many of you who know it's true 41:05 but you are not doing it yet 41:07 because you've been watching 3ABN. 41:08 You've been watching, you've been hearing the truth 41:10 for a long time and you are not doing it. 41:11 You are rejecting this Holy Spirit. 41:13 Please don't do that. Today is a day. 41:16 In this little book I read this it said, 41:18 notice this, "God rebukes His people 41:21 for their sins, that He may," what? 41:24 "That He may, humble them." Ain't that beautiful? 41:28 That, "He may humble them, 41:30 and lead them to seek His face." 41:32 What does God always want? 41:33 Sometime things come out, sometime things are said, 41:35 sometime things are done, 41:37 it seem like it's a nightmare that we are going through. 41:38 God wants you back. 41:41 God wants you back 41:42 and He's calling His last day people in. 41:45 Now notice what it says, "He will strengthen them 41:49 in reformatory action," He's warning us to change. 41:53 He want a reformation. 41:55 "Lifting before them, a standard against the enemy." 41:59 Notice this, listen. It's powerful. 42:02 Then, ooh, glory, notice that God's going to lift a standard. 42:09 The Bible talks about a standard that 42:11 God's people supposed to be lifting a standard, 42:12 not lowering it, not trampling on it, 42:15 but lifting a standard for the world to see. 42:18 And it says, when God's people here, 42:20 He writes, He's calling them back. 42:22 He rebukes them for the sin, 42:23 But He's going to give them victory. 42:25 And when they were ready to change, 42:27 notice what God is going to do. 42:28 I'm going to lift a standard against the enemy. 42:31 The enemy is defeated. 42:33 The enemy can't come against God's people. 42:34 Notice what it says here, "Then a multitude, 42:40 not of our faith, seeing that God is with His people, 42:47 will unite with them in serving the Redeemer." 42:51 That gives me spiritual goose bumps right now. 42:54 We wanted to know where is God's people? 42:58 What's going to happen here in these last days? 43:01 It's when we decide by the grace of God, 43:04 that we are willing to change, that we are willing to reform 43:08 and only the Holy Spirit can do that inside. 43:10 When we want to follow Him with our whole heart, 43:12 our whole mind, our whole soul, 43:14 notice what's going to happen, 43:16 God said, "I'm going to lift a standard against the devil. 43:20 I'm going to lift a standard against the devil." 43:21 Listen, that devil cannot come past that standard. 43:24 He can't even get close to that standard. 43:26 God said that at that time 43:27 I lift the standard up, to what? 43:29 To His people that are going be lifting up 43:30 the truths of God's word here in these last days. 43:33 Then there's going to be a people, 43:34 not of our faith, not of this faith, 43:37 they are going to see that God is working for His people. 43:39 What are they going to do? 43:41 They are going to unite with them, 43:44 eleventh hour workers. 43:45 Ooh, you could be one of them. 43:47 Why not? Why are you holding back? 43:51 For those of you who are not doing anything 43:52 and you've known this message for a long time, 43:54 oh, I'm telling you, 43:55 you are wearing it thin with the Holy Spirit. 43:57 You're wearing it thin, don't. It may be your last call. 44:02 Find some people here in the matter of months 44:04 another person here, very, very interesting, 44:07 from Minnesota, they are calling 44:10 and then they just say things like it 44:11 and we don't realize that it has nothing to do 44:12 with the mankind around here 44:14 but the truth that's being spoken. 44:16 The devil hates it. 44:18 He hates all people who's telling the truth, 44:21 giving the message of Three Angels 44:23 here in these last days, 44:24 lifting up that standard against the enemy. 44:27 The devil hates them 44:29 and he's doing his best to get rid of them. 44:31 But I called this, this person called, he said, 44:34 "we love 3ABN, we love Behold the Lamb Ministry 44:40 and we found it on YouTube. 44:42 We began to love 44:43 and fall in love with Jesus again. 44:46 We love it. 44:49 We watched, we called in, we ordered the DVDs 44:51 and we are not only watching on TV 44:52 but then we watch it over the DVDs 44:54 and we're watching at home. 44:55 They are encouraging to us. 44:57 We bring people overnight watching with us, 44:58 we're encouraged. 45:00 We want Jesus to come. 45:01 We want to be ready for Jesus to come." 45:04 These are encouraging. 45:06 This helps to keep us going to realize that 45:10 there are people who are honest 45:12 and true of heart, Matter of months, 45:15 sometime weeks that are accepting this message. 45:18 What are you doing with it? 45:20 What am I doing with it? That's so encouraging to me. 45:23 Let me tell you another one quickly. 45:24 Our time is kind of running past right now but notice. 45:27 I tried to get a hold of a person, the man, 45:30 who had called a long time ago 45:32 and somehow he slipped through the cracks 45:34 and sometime I do that but you stay with it. 45:37 If you have a question or comment 45:38 or something you need, if you don't hear it back 45:39 and in a reasonable amount of time, 45:41 you put that call in again. 45:42 Please do that. You will help us. 45:44 Call again, keep calling till you get what you need. 45:49 And anyway, this guy tried, I tried to call him back 45:52 and I called this, I called this number, 45:54 you know, his number is left on the piece of paper 45:56 that I have here so I tried to, I dialled the number 45:59 and all of a sudden I hear a voice on there 46:00 and said, you know, 46:02 that number is no longer in operation. 46:07 Uh-huh, and then the one on the other end said, 46:11 let me give his new number. 46:14 And so I jotted down the new number. 46:19 And so I thought well, this is good here. 46:20 I didn't think anything about it. 46:22 This is wonderful 'cause I needed to talk with him. 46:23 He had some questions, 46:25 and I needed to get back with him 46:26 and I called him and I said, 46:28 this is Kenny Shelton with "Behold the Lamb." 46:30 Huh, how did you, how did you get my number?" 46:34 Oh, I called the old number that you'd left before 46:39 and somebody came on there 46:40 and said, that number is no longer, 46:42 you can't reach him but I'll give you a new number 46:45 and I've called it, that's, I've got you, don't I? 46:47 "Yeah, yeah, that's me." 46:49 He said "but it can't be" and I said, what? 46:51 "No," well, how come? 46:54 "Because that was cancelled over two months ago." 46:58 I said what? "Oh, yeah. 47:01 And for a while I put that announcement on there tried to 47:03 but, two months ago that was over with. 47:06 It's not on there anymore." 47:07 I said, oh, yes, it is. "No, it can't be." 47:10 You tell me the Holy Spirit can't work. 47:12 You tell me that Holy Spirit can't do these things. 47:15 When there is people who need some answers 47:17 or there's people who need the power of the Spirit. 47:20 Now there is people who want to hear from Jesus. 47:23 We could guide them to the word of God. 47:26 Anything is possible through Him, 47:28 that's what the Bible said, 47:29 oh, I was so encouraged by that. 47:30 I said, thank you, Lord. I'd like to share another. 47:32 We got time to share another. 47:34 Oh, I wish I could share all of them. 47:35 I'd have a big stack if I did, but notice. 47:38 These individuals here who were watching TV 47:40 there from Nebraska, just watching TV one night 47:44 and here's what that they said. 47:45 They said, we got bored, we just got bored watching 47:48 what we were watching 47:50 and we decided that we were going to turn on, 47:51 somebody listen, Dare to Dream, 47:54 certainly from 3ABN, Dare to Dream. 47:58 Oh, yeah, "And we saw "Behold the Lamb," 48:03 we were impressed to turn to Dare to Dream 48:05 and "Behold the Lamb was on. 48:07 We didn't know we had a program on Dare to Dream 48:09 and you know what the subject was, 48:10 one we were interested in and we wanted to know about? 48:13 Women's ordination and right then 48:17 and there we knew the Holy Spirit was working. 48:19 It answered the questions that we had 48:24 and pretty soon the man came on there. 48:27 He said, you know as I looked on that, 48:28 I took my wife and seen the opening 48:31 with your wife on there, with Sister Chris on there 48:35 and said, you know what, there, just uplifting mattered all, 48:38 It just should be normal that we do as Christians. 48:40 He said, "You know what? 48:42 She speaks and she acts 48:43 and she dresses like a Christian." 48:48 Wow, then he said, you got him preach, 48:51 preach a message to her and it seemed, 48:54 it looked as the Holy Spirit, 48:55 we knew the Holy Spirit was there 48:58 and it looked like a preacher, 49:00 it sounded like a preacher, why? 49:02 Because we're getting so careless 49:03 in the pulpits anymore, 49:05 that we're coming in our tennis shoes 49:07 and were coming in our under shirts 49:09 and our jeans, in our jeans and some kind of suit coat, 49:12 no tie like you are going to some kind of a party. 49:14 Shame on you, pastors, you elders, 49:16 if you are doing that. 49:18 They are people who are serious about God and relationship 49:20 and God requires the best that we have. 49:24 You will say to me, well, that's the best that I have. 49:26 No, it's your choice. 49:28 You had to pay for that, 49:29 you could have paid for something different. 49:30 Come on now. It makes a difference. 49:34 Your witness makes a difference is my point here. 49:39 Why did they become bored, 49:40 because they needed some questions answered 49:42 and the Holy Spirit said, turn, turn what? 49:44 It's four or five choices you could get there 49:46 but turned Dare to Dream, 49:48 at that point, at that time, at that second. 49:51 This is what we needed and they called in 49:52 and they ordered that. 49:54 They said another thing, 49:55 I wanted them being encouraged with what? 49:56 And they want to support this. 49:58 Listen, "Behold the Lamb 50:00 is not afraid to call sin by its right name. 50:04 It has nothing to do with individuals, 50:05 it's the power of the Holy Spirit. 50:07 We have to call sin by its right name. 50:10 We live in that hour 50:12 when it's so desperately important, 50:13 when people are just watering things down 50:15 to where it means nothing anymore. 50:18 No difference in the sacred and the common but there is. 50:23 And they were just so encouraged 50:25 and these people here, we're talking about, 50:27 they are starting to write letters 50:28 and things they see this not going on right properly 50:31 and they are beginning to stand up 50:33 for the cause of Christ. 50:36 Second Selected Messages, 50:38 let me just read this right quick 50:39 and I know our time is about gone. 50:40 Three seventy eight says this, because we weren't, 50:44 we are neglecting some things in this movement. 50:48 Do I find joy in that? Absolutely not. 50:51 But if you are going to be what God wants you to be, 50:53 you are going to test everything by the Bible, 50:56 regardless of what's taking place 50:57 inside the church or in a classrooms 50:59 or wherever we are going here and there 51:00 but it still has to be biblical. 51:02 You can't just make it up 51:04 because the majority wants to do it. 51:05 Majorities are usually and they're wrong. 51:07 Notice what it says here, two SM, 378, 51:12 "The neglect to bring purity and truth into practice 51:16 will grieve the Spirit of God and weaken them 51:22 because God is not in the midst to bless them." 51:25 Did you notice that? 51:27 If you know what truth is, and you are not following that, 51:30 you are grieving the Spirit of God 51:32 and he can't be where he wants to be, 51:33 Spirit to bless you and it goes on. 51:37 Notice that is says, "Internal corruption 51:41 will bring the denunciations of God upon the people 51:45 just as it did upon Jerusalem. 51:49 You think it can't happen in this moment. 51:51 You think it can't happen in your life? 51:52 You better think again. Please think again. 51:55 God's speaking to you. 51:57 If you hear this, my voice, God is speaking to you. 51:59 It's not my words, God's speaking to you. 52:02 You want His blessings, don't grieve the Spirit of God. 52:05 God is working, He's calling people here in these last days. 52:08 In a matter of moments, matter of months, 52:13 matter of weeks. 52:16 I could read you a lot of more 52:17 we're not going to have time to do that 52:19 but I'm so encouraged by these people 52:22 whether they'd be younger or older. 52:24 They are hearing truth 52:25 and they are just following it by the grace of God. 52:29 Let me tell you, those of you 52:31 who are making that decision right now, 52:32 please give us a call. 52:34 We need those blessings, we want those blessings. 52:36 We want to hear how God is just working you over for His cause, 52:40 how the Spirit of God just filling you with it. 52:42 "Well, I don't know if we should 52:44 or why we're living in this time 52:45 or living in another." 52:47 Sin is sin, God's calling us out, 52:48 separating the people. 52:51 You can't have the enemy working inside. 52:54 He's calling us to be pure and to be holy 52:56 and He is calling these last day people out. 52:59 And it is encouragement to us here 53:02 who are working for Jesus 53:04 to know that God's people are hearing. 53:07 Now notice this, and they are responding. 53:10 If you are responding to the voice of God, 53:12 if you are responding, do you know 53:15 that the doors of probation is about to close, 53:18 you know that you've been grieving the Holy Spirit. 53:20 You say, "Well, I really haven't been doing anything." 53:22 That's exactly right. You haven't been doing a thing. 53:25 You're grieving the Holy Spirit. 53:26 You're rejecting because the Spirit says, 53:28 "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel." 53:30 Get this work done. 53:32 Accepting truth just as God reveals it to you. 53:35 By God's grace you are going to accept it. 53:38 This will encourage those around you. 53:40 This will be an encouragement in your life. 53:42 They'll be encouragement ministries around the world 53:44 that love the truth. 53:46 Our time is about gone and I want you, 53:47 oh, I want to pray with you 53:48 'cause I just feel it in my heart and my mind 53:50 as people are making that decision right now. 53:52 You are one of those who sat back, 53:54 you haven't done anything for a long time, 53:55 you haven't called, you haven't done anything. 53:58 But you're going to do it now 54:00 because you realize this is the signs of the times 54:02 and there's many calls like this. 54:05 Would you pray with me right now? 54:07 Would you just pray, 54:08 last moment that we have together? 54:10 Holy Spirit, work upon this heart. 54:11 Let's pray. 54:12 Merciful God in Heaven, 54:14 we thank You for the privilege of prayer. 54:15 We thank You for the encouragement, 54:16 thank You for the people who want to know 54:18 what truth is and thank You for you said, 54:20 You are going to pour the Spirit of God 54:22 out upon these people. 54:23 They are going to come, they are going to join 54:25 the last day remnant people. 54:26 Lord, I thank You for hearing, thank You for answering prayer. 54:29 Thank you for the conviction 54:30 that you put upon people right now 54:31 for making that choice, 54:33 for making that decision for you and I, 54:34 thank you in Jesus' name, amen. 54:39 Please remember, this is a sign, 54:42 a clear sign that Jesus is coming. 54:45 Don't put off any longer 54:47 and you know, here "Behold the Lamb" 54:49 we're blessing to you and bringing the truth 54:52 you know, won't you prayerfully consider 54:53 what you can do to support 54:55 so that we can continue to bring these timely messages. 54:58 You see I believe in present truth, 54:59 not water down, not dale but present truth. 55:02 Help us to get it into the home. 55:04 God's getting a lot of opportunities 55:05 to reach millions and millions of people, 55:07 help us do it, shoulder up with us, pray for us 55:10 and we're going to pray for you. 55:11 Until next time, God bless you, see you then. 55:15 Welcome back, friends. 55:17 The Spirit of God is moving and becoming more evident 55:20 as we are drawing closer to Christ's second coming. 55:24 On this same thought, so is the enemy. 55:28 He too is working in every form 55:30 you can possibly think of within and without 55:34 all the various churches, to confuse the minds of those 55:38 whom God is so lovingly calling out of sin. 55:41 It has been very evident to us for several years now 55:45 that when a person sincerely begins to ask 55:48 God to show them what truth really is, 55:51 it is at that very moment, at that point, 55:55 that their life will begin to take a dramatic step 55:58 and line up with scripture and help, it also helps them 56:01 to understand scripture as never before. 56:04 We must weigh all miracles and all questions, 56:08 all of doctrines with the word of God. 56:11 God's people will be worshiping Him 56:13 in Spirit and in truth, two things, 56:16 Spirit and in truth as taught in the Bible. 56:20 Our prayer today for you 56:22 is that this message has been anointed 56:25 by the Holy Spirit and has touched your heart 56:27 in a special way and as always 56:30 we are offering this message for you 56:33 for a love gift of just $8 or more, 56:35 here in the United States. 56:38 Additional shipping fees 56:40 will be included in mailings outside of the US. 56:43 And when you call, ask about our sharing price 56:47 for an offering of just $35 or more, 56:50 we'll be happy to send you 56:51 ten copies of any single message that we produce 56:55 so that you may have these extra messages 56:58 to give it to your family and to your friends. 57:01 And remember that every dollar 57:02 you donate to Behold the Lamb Ministry, 57:05 it enables us to do that much more 57:08 in proclamation of this gospel 57:11 to potentially millions around the world. 57:14 So if you have a heart for the truth, 57:16 if you have a heart for evangelism, 57:19 please consider making a commitment 57:21 to regularly support Behold the Lamb Ministries 57:25 with your donations. 57:26 Simply contact us here in the United States 57:29 by calling 618-942-5044, that's Central Standard Time 57:36 or you my write to Behold the Lamb Ministries, 57:39 PO Box 2030, Herrin IL 62948. 57:44 You may email us your order on be 57:46 at BeholdtheLambMinistries @yahoo.com 57:49 or as always visit us on the website 57:51 at www.
