00:01 Magnify the Lord with me
00:04 Magnify the Lord
00:08 Jesus alone is worthy
00:11 Magnify Him.
00:18 Hello and welcome to Magnify Him.
00:20 My name is Yvonne Lewis.
00:22 You know, sometimes you feel down,
00:24 you feel little discouraged and you just need a song.
00:28 A song can take you into another realm.
00:31 A song can lift your spirits
00:33 and just make you feel like you're whole again.
00:36 So tonight's artists are going to bless you with their music.
00:40 Listen.
00:41 Be blessed as we magnify Him in spirit and in truth.
00:47 Magnify the Lord with me
00:50 Magnify Him.
00:55 I'm so pleased to welcome Danita Jones to Magnify Him.
00:59 Yay!
01:01 Thank you so much.
01:03 Are you kidding? Thank you.
01:04 We're so blessed to have you.
01:06 Oh, thank you.
01:07 Tell us about your ministry. What's your ministry about?
01:10 I actually-- I have a production company
01:13 called productions by Danita Jones
01:15 and I use that to actually take Seventh-day Adventist artists
01:20 either they want to go into theatre,
01:22 they want to go into music
01:23 and I use my company as an aid for them to do that
01:26 and we write different types of shows
01:28 and it's a safe haven for artists who are Adventists
01:32 that want to be in that type of production
01:34 and singing has always been something that I like to do.
01:37 I never actually thought about doing it,
01:39 you know, really, I just, I love singing in church
01:42 and so I've been doing it since I was two years old.
01:44 You are so gifted. Thank you.
01:46 It's such a blessing to hear you and to--
01:49 I've known your dad
01:51 since we were freshmen in college.
01:52 Yes, yes. So you know--
01:54 And your mom, I met not too long ago.
01:56 Right.
01:57 And so the apple does not fall far
01:59 from the tree, let me tell you.
02:00 Thank you so much. They're so talented.
02:02 They are. They absolutely.
02:04 Yes, yes, so talented.
02:05 So let's talk a little bit about
02:07 this production company
02:08 because you then you take artists
02:11 and is it like artist development
02:13 or do you just, you book artists
02:15 for different venues to different venues?
02:17 I like to take less, the lesser known people,
02:18 the people that who kind of like
02:20 fall into the background.
02:21 I honestly believe that there is an anointing on artists,
02:25 especially in our churches,
02:26 especially in the Seventh-day Adventist church.
02:28 And so what I do is that I literally seek those out
02:30 and try to put them on an amazing platform,
02:34 to kind of share their ministry all over the world.
02:36 And then I write different plays
02:38 and incorporate that as well.
02:39 And so I do major productions for different churches
02:41 and I get to travel a lot.
02:43 It's really like the best job to have.
02:45 That's tremendous, so you're managing,
02:49 you're doing you're singing, doing all of these things
02:53 and you came today to bless us.
02:56 So be sure to sit back and listen
02:59 and be blessed by our Danita Jones.
03:12 In the middle of the turbulence
03:19 Surrounding you
03:23 These trying times
03:26 They are so hard to endure
03:32 In the middle of what seems to be
03:38 Your darkest hour
03:42 Hold fast your heart
03:46 And be assured
03:51 This too shall pass
03:56 Like every night that's come before it
04:01 He'll never give you
04:05 More than you can bear
04:11 This too shall pass
04:15 So in this thought be comforted
04:22 It's in His Hands
04:25 This too shall pass
04:35 The Father knows
04:39 The tears you cry before they fall
04:45 He feels your pain
04:49 His heart and yours are one
04:55 The Father knows
04:59 The sorrows of heavy chains are strong
05:05 But with His strength
05:10 You'll overcome
05:15 This too shall pass
05:19 Like every night that's come before it
05:24 He'll never give you
05:29 More than you can bear
05:34 This too shall pass
05:38 So in this thought be comforted
05:45 It's in His Hands
05:49 This too shall pass
05:54 So set your eyes
05:59 Upon the mountain
06:04 And lift your hands
06:08 Up to the sky
06:13 And let His love
06:18 Bring all to surround you
06:24 And take you to
06:28 The other side
06:34 This too shall pass
06:38 Like every night that's come before it
06:43 He'll never give you
06:48 More than you can bear
06:54 This too shall pass
06:57 So in this thought be comforted
07:06 It's in His Hands
07:10 This too shall pass
07:15 He'll wipe away those tears
07:20 This too shall pass
07:33 It will pass.

15:17 Brian Ezra Bates has joined us at Magnify Him.
15:21 Welcome, yay! Thank you, thank you.
15:23 It's so good to have you.
15:24 It's a pleasure to be here, really is.
15:26 So I was listening to you during the sound check
15:28 and God has just given you such a wonderful gift.
15:30 Praise God. Praise God.
15:32 How long have you been singing?
15:33 I started singing seriously when I was about 18.
15:35 Oh! Yeah, yeah.
15:36 And I told God, I said,
15:38 "If You take my voice and if You bless me,
15:39 then I will use it for You forever."
15:41 Praise the Lord.
15:42 And He started a slow process of really growing me, yeah.
15:44 So you never really sing before you were 18?
15:47 I did but I wasn't very good.
15:49 I thought I was better than I was.
15:52 And somebody I met was like,
15:54 "You know, you're not really that good."
15:56 Oh, man that's cold.
15:59 They were just being honest
16:00 I mean because I really had a big head
16:01 so, and it started my growth process.
16:04 Well, praise the Lord. I appreciate it.
16:05 So you-- I heard that you did--
16:08 You were on Sunday Best.
16:10 I was on Sunday Best season-- Tell us about that?
16:12 Well, I went to Atlanta in audition
16:13 and was chosen in top 20 and competed
16:16 and it was an awesome experience, it really was.
16:19 I realize though in that experience
16:21 that you know, competition
16:23 and God's will just don't go hand-in-hand.
16:26 And for my life it doesn't. And so--
16:28 But I learnt and grew a lot there.
16:30 Praise God. Praise God.
16:32 So where do you see your ministry going?
16:34 What's your vision for your ministry?
16:35 Oh man, I just want to sing as much as possible
16:37 wherever, wherever possible.
16:38 And I just-- I'm depending on God
16:40 to open up every door He wants me in.
16:42 That's amazing,
16:44 'cause God we know has a great plan for you.
16:47 I believe that.
16:48 Just listening to you
16:49 and then you might've had the big head a long time ago
16:52 but you're certainly a humble brother now.
16:54 Praise God. And that's--
16:56 That tells me you've had some transitions--
16:59 So we got to hear your testimony sometime.
17:02 Yeah, I'd love to.
17:03 And in the mean time,
17:05 we're gonna be blessed with the amazing
17:07 beautiful ministry of Brother Brian Ezra Bates.
17:20 I remember
17:21 When life was so simple
17:27 You did or you didn't
17:31 You would or you wouldn't
17:34 But it ain't like that anymore
17:41 And I remember
17:44 When life was so easy
17:50 People said what they meant
17:53 They were either for it or against
17:57 But it ain't like that anymore
18:02 Somewhere, we lost the score
18:07 So bring back the days of yea and nay
18:12 When we could plainly see the way
18:16 When it was up to us to choose
18:20 Whether to win or to lose
18:24 Bring back the times when we could see
18:28 What it was we were to be
18:32 Caught in the midst of complexities
18:36 We search for yea and nay
18:45 Oh, I remember
18:48 When life was so simple
18:54 Parents were a light
18:57 Through them we saw what was right
19:01 Oh, and it ain't like that anymore
19:06 I remember
19:09 When life was so easy
19:15 Boys grew into men
19:18 Little girls to women then
19:21 Oh, but it ain't like that anymore
19:27 Somewhere we lost the score
19:32 So bring back the days of yea and nay
19:36 When we could plainly see the way
19:41 When it was up to us to choose
19:45 Whether to win or to lose
19:49 Bring back the times when we could see
19:53 What it was we were to be
19:57 Caught in the midst of complexities
20:01 We search for yea and nay
20:10 We knew where we belonged
20:14 What was right and what was wrong
20:24 Bring back the days of yea and nay
20:28 When we could plainly see the way
20:32 When it was up to us to choose
20:36 Whether to win or to lose
20:40 Bring back the times when we could see
20:45 What it was we were to be
20:49 Caught in the midst of complexities
