00:04 Magnify the Lord 00:08 Jesus alone is worthy 00:11 Magnify Him. 00:17 Hello and welcome to Magnify Him. 00:19 My name is Duawne Starling. 00:21 And my name is Yvonne Lewis. 00:22 Thank you so much for tuning in. 00:24 We know that you're going to receive a great blessing. 00:27 Yes. 00:29 Indeed there will be a blessing in store for you today. 00:31 And we're going to meet some 00:32 talented individuals in our program. 00:35 And I know that you will be blessed 00:37 and inspired and encouraged by their ministries. 00:40 So don't go away. 00:42 Join us as we lift up the name of Jesus. 00:45 He is so worthy to be praised. 00:48 Come, 00:49 come and let us magnify the Lord. 00:51 Magnify the Lord with us 00:54 and let us exalt His name together. 00:57 Magnify the Lord with me 01:00 Magnify Him. 01:05 Hi and praise the Lord. 01:07 I'm sitting here with Bobbie Clavon. 01:09 Bobbie Clavon, welcome. 01:10 Welcome to Magnify Him. 01:12 Thank you for the invitation 01:13 to come here was truly a blessing. 01:15 It's so good to have you here. 01:16 Thank you very much. 01:18 So I did get to hear you 01:20 and we did get to talk very briefly 01:22 right before the interview. 01:23 And what I wanted to pointed was, 01:25 I thought this was very interesting. 01:27 You said to me that you were sort of an ordinary person. 01:30 Absolutely. 01:31 And that God has called you to... 01:34 small churches and small venues and places like that. 01:38 Can you elaborate a little? Oh, yes. 01:40 Actually I come from-- 01:42 actually very two very large churches. 01:44 The first one being City Temple in Detroit 01:46 which is where I'm originally from. 01:48 Wonderful. 01:49 And when I left Detroit in 1983, 01:51 I went to Dallas, Texas, 01:53 and then I went about another city temple. 01:55 So I'm going from one City Temple to the other. 01:57 Right. 01:58 Fortunately, 02:00 City temple is a very blessed church, 02:02 both of them in that respect, 02:04 especially as far as music is concerned, 02:06 they have so-- they have abundance of talent. 02:09 However, 02:10 I noticed that in the exterior portions of the city 02:14 and then the surrounding areas 02:16 that there's a lack of music 02:19 in those areas. 02:20 And you know, just one day I was just at home 02:23 and I think actually it was one Sabbath 02:24 I was just sitting on the backyard, 02:26 I'm having my Sabbath afternoon meal. 02:29 And I don't know if you call it epiphany, 02:31 I'm not quite sure what you call it. 02:33 But God just said, you know, 02:34 what are you doing sitting in the City Temple every week? 02:36 And I enjoy City Temple. Yeah. 02:38 So I didn't have a problem with that. 02:40 I mean, I do sing a lot in City Temple, 02:42 don't get me wrong. 02:43 However just this voice came out of me and said, 02:46 that is not what I have you for. 02:48 Wow. 02:50 I would say about the next week or two. 02:52 I got on the phone, it was, 02:53 ironically most of the ministers in that area 02:55 kind of know or they kind of know me. 02:57 And I said, "You know what? 02:58 I'm available to sing." 03:00 And they said, "You are?" 03:01 I said, "Yes, I am." 03:02 I'm available. 03:04 Just like anything, we have to make ourselves 03:05 available for the Lord. 03:07 And ever since then-- 03:09 Actually, I maybe at City Temple once, 03:11 maybe twice in a month on a good month. 03:14 And so I spend it at churches, at smaller churches 03:17 like I said where they don't have music. 03:19 And that's where I minister. 03:21 I go with, actually a couple of lay people. 03:24 When they go to different places, 03:25 I travel with them as well. 03:27 And so that's what I've been doing. 03:29 And it's really been a blessing. 03:30 You know, I'm glad that you said the word available 03:33 because sometimes people feel 03:34 like they have to have special gifts 03:37 and extraordinary talent, 03:39 and you know, have this and have that. 03:41 When really God all... 03:42 All He really wants from us is to be available. 03:45 Absolutely. 03:46 Yes, I consider this a gift from God and not talent 03:50 and I give this much of it back to the Lord 03:51 as I possibly can. 03:53 Praise God for that. 03:55 And you know I'm so glad 03:57 that we have the ministry 04:00 of my sister Bobbie Clavon. 04:03 And I praise God for her 04:05 and I know that you will enjoy the gift, 04:07 you enjoy the ministry. 04:23 You'll never find her story 04:27 In a fairy tale 04:31 She wasn't like 04:34 The other women at the well 04:38 Her life was full of pain Hurt, rejections 04:43 Her loneliness 04:44 She didn't wanted to show 04:48 But Jesus saw the desert 04:51 In her soul 04:57 Drink from this water 05:02 Drink from this water 05:05 Then you will never 05:08 You'll never thirst again 05:14 Drink from this water 05:19 Drink from this water 05:22 Then you will never 05:25 You'll never thirst 05:28 Again 05:36 We all search for something 05:40 To fill us up inside 05:44 But it's only an illusion 05:48 You know A true Love's hard to find 05:53 And I'm here to tell you There's one place 05:57 Your thirst is quenched Forever more 06:01 You will never leave here Disappointed 06:06 You will find What you are longing

Drink from this water 07:08 Drink from this water 07:11 Then you will never 07:14 You'll never thirst 07:17 Again 07:21 Drink from this water 07:26 Drink from the living water 07:29 Then you will

hills, 08:40 valleys 08:42 and yes, mountains 08:43 the God has brought me through in my life. 08:46 And I just know that if He can do that for me, 08:48 then He will certainly do that for you. 08:58

welcome to Magnify Him. 14:34 Let's go around 14:36 and tell me who you're and where you're from? 14:38 My name is Lauren Murrain, 14:39 I'm from Nashville, Tennessee. 14:41 Ronald Woodford 14:42 from the Washington Metropolitan area. 14:45 Dwayne Hamilton from Nashville. 14:47 I am Adrian Wesley Junior 14:49 and I'm living in Colombia, Maryland right now. 14:51 I'm Desmond Peter Louise, 14:53 I'm from Marlboro, Maryland. 14:54 Well, 14:56 this is so great to have you here 14:57 and one of the things I noticed is that, 15:00 I know, when I was listening to you guys 15:02 during your sound check, 15:04 I was having worship over here. 15:07 Tell me how you got together? 15:09 How did you become 15:10 the "Breath of Life Quartet" plus one? 15:14 Well, the group originally started, 15:16 the original group started in 1972, 15:19 Walter Arties started the group. 15:20 This version of the group really 15:22 the Ron, myself and AT 15:25 have been in the group for 20ish years, 15:28 I guess 80 maybe, almost 30, 15:32 but he still looks good. 15:34 He still looks good. He still looks good. 15:35 But this actual configuration really has been 15:38 together for about three years now. 15:40 2008 is when we added 15:43 Desmond and Dwayne to our group. 15:46 Awesome. 15:47 Do you find it challenging 15:49 to be in different parts of the country? 15:51 Very much so. 15:52 How do you rehearse? How do you get together? 15:54 We get together, 15:56 we try to get together at least once every... 15:58 month or so. 16:00 We'll fly to the members up 16:03 and we'll close ourselves in 16:06 for a whole weekend literally 16:08 and go at it. 16:10 And so you rehearse like four or five songs a day 16:14 or how many will you just do in one session? 16:16 Ronald is a task master. 16:19 Tyrant. Is he? 16:21 You see it all comes out, 16:22 it all comes out. 16:24 Tell me what is your vision for your ministry? 16:29 Preach the gospel to all the world. 16:31 We're supposed to do that anyway 16:33 and so we consider it a privilege and honor 16:35 and a blessing to be able to be a part of that 16:37 because we wanted to see Jesus come. 16:39 Yes, yes, amen. 16:40 You know there's so many people 16:42 over the years that have expressed 16:43 how they have been blessed by the ministry 16:46 and it has helped them, 16:48 both those who know Christ 16:50 in addition to the ones who don't know Christ. 16:52 So it's important 16:54 for those who are already in the truth 16:56 to be fortified as well as those who don't know Christ. 16:59 We can draw them to Him. 17:00 And music 17:02 is such an amazing way to do that, isn't it? 17:03 You know it reaches everybody 17:06 and that's the goal, that's the goal of music. 17:09 Now all of you-- 17:11 This is not your fulltime job. 17:14 Let's go around and find out what you do 17:16 when you're not singing with Brother Lauren. 17:19 Well, I'm an entertain attorney and also a professor. 17:22 And you know what, Lauren, 17:24 years ago you negotiated my CD deal. 17:27 That's right. With Integrity Music. 17:28 What a blessing. 17:30 I am a behavioral health counselor 17:33 Wonderful. 17:35 Freelance voiceover artist here. 17:37 All right. I can tell that. 17:41 I'm working in music production. 17:43 I'm music producer and arranger and composer. 17:47 And would you just tell us briefly some of the artists 17:50 that you've worked with in some projects? 17:52 Oh, over the years... 17:54 Well, I worked with some of the... 17:56 outstanding Adventist artists 17:59 like Walter Arties, Wintley Phipps. 18:03 I worked with also... 18:05 Myrna Mathews Haynes, 18:07 done some work with Ralph Carmichael, 18:09 those are old names. 18:11 There's some new ones too like the BLQ. 18:13 All right. All right. 18:15 All right. Wonderful. 18:16 I've seen your name for years and you do outstanding work. 18:19 Thank you, thank you. 18:20 And I'm in education service specialist for the government. 18:23 Well, that's incredible. 18:25 Now is it difficult to... 18:28 Do you all have families? 18:30 Yes. 18:32 Are your families, do they tend to be supportive 18:34 or is it challenging for you 18:36 to be a part of "Breath of Life" 18:38 and have a regular job and have a family? 18:41 How does that... How are you able to do all that? 18:44 I think for me it's all of the above. 18:46 They are supportive, but it is still challenging. 18:48 Because everyday that you spend away from home, 18:50 is, you know, 18:52 you're missing out on that opportunity 18:53 to pour into your own family. 18:57 I'm sure that it's really challenging 19:00 and super important to have your family behind you 19:02 because this is ministry. 19:05 Ministry, music ministry 19:07 reaches the heart of those who listen. 19:11 Listen to "Breath of Life" right now. 19:21 I want to be born again 19:24 I want to be born again 19:27 Tell me, tell me 19:28 Tell me, tell me 19:31 Tell me, tell me now 19:33 What must I do To be saved? 19:39 How can I gain 19:41 Eternal life? 19:44 What must I do To be saved? 19:50 How can I meet You In paradise? 19:55 What must I do To be saved? 20:01 How can I gain 20:04 Eternal life? 20:07 What must I do To be saved? 20:12 How can I meet You In paradise? 20:17 There was a man In the Bible days 20:21 Bible days 20:23 Nicodemus That was his name 20:26 That was his name, yeah 20:29 Although He was a Pharisee 20:31 He was a Pharisee 20:34 He made his way To Jesus teach 20:37 Teach me my style 20:39 He really wanted To know the truth 20:43 I want to know I want to know 20:45 How could an old heart Become like new? 20:48 Want to be like new 20:51 He was confused When the teacher said 20:55 When the teacher said 20:56 To be saved You must be born again 21:00 That's what He said That why he said, 21:02 What must I do To be saved? 21:08 How can I gain 21:10 Eternal life? 21:14 What must I do to be saved? 21:19 How can I meet You In paradise? 21:25 What must I do to be saved? 21:30 How can I gain 21:33 Eternal life? 21:36 What must I do to be saved? 21:41 How can I meet You In paradise? 21:47 So you say I must be born again. 21:50 Born again 21:52 I confess I do not understand 21:55 I do not know, man 21:58 I am fully grown a man I am 22:01 I am a man, yeah 22:03 So how could a sheep Become a lamb 22:07 Become a lamb 22:09 He understood When the teacher said 22:12 What did the teacher Say now? 22:14 Born of the spirits And baptized and led 22:18 Born of the spirit, yeah 22:20 By the will of God And not your own 22:24 God will and not your own 22:26 That's the only way to see God's grown 22:30 And that's why He said 22:33 What must I do? 22:35 What must I do? 22:37 To be saved 22:39 Please tell me Tell me now 22:53 I wanna be born again 22:56 He said I wanna be born again 22:58 Tell me, tell me 23:00 I want to see you In your kingdom 23:04 I wanna be born again 23:07 He said I wanna be born again 23:10 Tell me 23:12 Now that I know 23:13 Now that I know 23:15 Oh, oh, oh 23:16 What must I do To be saved? 23:22 How can I gain 23:24 Eternal life? 23:27 What must I do To be saved? 23:33 How can I meet You In paradise? 23:39 What must I do To be saved? 23:44 How can I gain 23:47 Eternal life? 23:50 What must I do To be saved? 23:55 How can I meet You in paradise? 24:01 What must I do To be saved? 24:06 We know we're not saved by our own power, 24:09 but by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. 24:13 There's power 24:14 in the name of Jesus. 24:27 There's power in the name 24:32 Of Jesus 24:36 There's power in the name 24:41 Of Jesus 24:46 Whenever we say His name 24:52 things begin to change 24:57 Power in the name of 25:01 The Lord 25:06 There's power in the name 25:11 Of Jesus 25:16 There's power in the name 25:21 Of Jesus 25:26 Whenever we say His name 25:31 Things begin to change 25:36 Power in the name of 25:40 The Lord 25:45 There's healing in the name 25:50 Of Jesus 25:55 There's healing in the name 26:00 Of Jesus 26:05 Whenever we say His name 26:10 Things begin to change 26:15 Healing in the name of 26:20 The Lord 26:25 Deliverance in the name 26:30 Of Jesus 26:34 Deliverance in the name 26:39 Of Jesus 26:44 Whenever we say His name 26:49 Things begin to change 26:53 Deliverance in the name of 26:58 The Lord 27:03 Healing in the name of 27:07 The Lord 27:14 Power in the name of 27:20 The Lord. 27:36 Magnify Him. 27:42 Duawne, I receive 27:43 such a blessing from this program. 27:46 Yes, yes, so did I. 27:48 I'm so grateful that we have 27:49 such a great talent to share with you. 27:51 Thanks for turning in 27:53 and we'll see you next time. 27:54 God bless. |
