00:02 Years ago, Janene and I
00:03 conducted a series of evangelistic meetings 00:05 in Kadapa, India. 00:07 We took several couples with us 00:09 to help with the many logistics involved. 00:11 Everything I've being doing went very well 00:13 except that two of the couples 00:15 were having some personal issues with one another. 00:18 As it turned out, Ron and Pauline 00:20 along with the other couple 00:21 found themselves on a joint visitation team. 00:26 Well, that was a day they decided to visit a lady 00:28 who is having spiritual troubles. 00:30 No one at the time realized just how serious those troubles were 00:34 and how serious their trouble would become. 00:42 It's time to join your guide Jim Ayer 00:46 for an exciting 12th episode journey 00:48 into "Remodeling Your Life". 00:51 You're going to discover that God's transforming power is real 00:55 and He's ready to provide that power to you. 00:58 Now here's your guide Jim Ayer 01:00 to take you on the journey of a life time, 01:03 an amazing and dynamic experience with God. 01:07 The visitation couples had no idea 01:09 what the devil had in store for them. 01:11 Upon arriving at the lady's house, 01:13 the pastor who was with the two couples 01:15 asked everyone else to leave the dwelling 01:17 except for the lady in question and her close friend. 01:21 They sat on the dirt floor in a tiny dark room 01:23 holding hands in a circle of prayer. 01:26 Ron began to pray but as he prayed, 01:29 the woman they were praying for grabbed his wrist 01:31 and started to squeeze very hard. 01:34 Now Ron was extremely strong man 01:36 but he could not pry her hand from the painful vise-grip. 01:40 And it was hurting more and more by the moment. 01:43 The couple saw what was happening 01:45 and as the eyes of both couples met, 01:48 they realized that they were not wrestling 01:49 against flesh and blood. 01:51 Fear gripped their hearts as they immediately asked 01:54 forgiveness of one another for all the previous feelings 01:57 which had been building between them. 01:59 They cried to God and asked for help 02:01 against this enemy of souls. 02:03 Still in the deadly grip of the demon possessed woman, 02:06 Ron was now joined by the rest of the team in prayer 02:09 demanding that the demon release the arm of Ron 02:13 and immediately the demon obeyed him. 02:16 Never again did the two couples allowed any petty problems 02:19 to disrupt their mission for God. 02:21 After experiencing the power of Satan, 02:23 their focus was steadfastly fixed upon Christ. 02:27 A great need of the Holy Spirit was, 02:29 and the work set before them 02:30 was their only concern from then on. 02:38 I hate to wait at stoplights and gas lines 02:40 and traffic jams and airline tolls. 02:43 And I can't forget the checkout counters in the supermarket. 02:46 I just love the checkout counters, 02:48 yeah, of course I'm not serious, wait, wait, wait. 02:51 That misery loves company and I'm in good company. 02:54 You see, the disciples' waiting ability was tested 02:57 when the Lord told them to follow specific instructions 03:00 after He had descended. 03:02 Do not, He said depart from Jerusalem 03:04 but wait for the promise of the Father. 03:06 What promise was He speaking of? 03:08 Well, the answer is found in 03:09 the remainder of the verses associated with a command, 03:12 "You shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit 03:15 not many days from now. 03:17 You shall receive power, 03:18 the Holy Spirit is going to come upon you." 03:21 Jesus promised the power of the Holy Spirit 03:23 to those who would wait for Him. 03:25 Many theologians believe this promise 03:27 was fulfilled following Jesus' coronation ceremony 03:30 shortly after his ascent 03:32 and is described in Chapter 5 of Revelation. 03:35 Jesus alluded to the occasion in the Book of John 03:38 when He cried out saying, 03:40 "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink." 03:43 He who believes on Me as the scriptures have said, 03:46 "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." 03:49 But He spoke this about the spirit 03:51 which say, who believe on Him should receive, 03:53 for the Holy Spirit was not yet given 03:56 because Jesus was not yet glorified. 04:09 The followers of Christ had already received 04:11 image of the Holy Sprit 04:12 and had experienced the results of that bestowed in many ways. 04:16 But they were to receive still greater power 04:18 which would set them for a much larger work, 04:20 taking the gospel to the entire world. 04:24 The command to wait as long as they were supposed to 04:26 was given by Jesus. 04:27 They were to patiently wait, 04:29 trusting in the Master's command. 04:31 And their wait would not be in vain, 04:33 but it had been almost 10 days with no word from the Lord. 04:37 How do you react when you receive no word from God? 04:41 Oh, we find an interesting situation 04:43 from the lady in Mathew Chapter 15. 04:50 This lady had amazing faith 04:52 and her promises of God sustained her. 04:55 When it seemed that God had no ears 04:57 and it says here, "Behold, 04:59 a woman of Canaan came out of these borders 05:01 and cried to Him," saying, 'Have mercy on me, oh, Lord. 05:04 Son of David, my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon.' 05:08 " But he did not answer her a word. 05:12 And there was the time that the devil slammed Jobs, 05:15 held so hard that he wished he could die. 05:17 The devil destroyed their children, his job, 05:21 his property and so Job cried out in desperation 05:24 and pain to God. 05:27 How did God answer his friend? 05:29 There was absolutely no word for 37 Chapters. 05:33 Well, I could say many other instances in the Bible 05:35 when God seemed to be silent 05:37 but the followers of God will not give up 05:40 because they completely trust in Him. 05:43 The disciples learn this trust 05:45 in the fulfillment of the promises 05:46 as recorded in the Book of Acts 2:2-4. 05:54 "And suddenly, there came a sound of heaven 05:56 as of a mighty rushing wind. 05:58 And it filled all the house where they were sitting. 06:01 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like a fire, 06:05 it sat upon each of them and they were all filled 06:08 with the Holy Ghost." 06:10 The disciples knew that they were helpless 06:12 without the promised power of the Holy Ghost, 06:14 so they continued praying and kept asking 06:18 for their Holy Spirit. 06:20 Are you willing to ask and continue asking 06:22 for His abiding presence until you receive it? 06:25 And to unite us one fellow believer 06:28 with that goal in Jesus Christ? 06:35 On the day of Pentecost, 120 people were baptized 06:38 with tongues of fire as the Holy Spirit 06:40 descended upon them, 06:41 infusing them with tremendous power. 06:44 But what had they been doing for the preceding 10 days prior 06:47 to this historic experience? 06:49 Couldn't, Ellen White she says, in a room 06:52 all continued with one accord and prayer in supplication. 06:55 They made thorough work of repentance 06:57 by confessing their own sins, 06:59 setting aside all differences and alienations, 07:01 they were of one accord 07:03 and prayed with unity of purpose for 10 days. 07:07 Wow, can you imagine that? 07:08 Praying together, coming together for 10 days. 07:14 The disciples had been at odds with one other 07:16 over many issues, one of the primary issues was 07:19 who was to be the greatest in the Kingdom. 07:22 This minute had become political clamor, 07:24 James and John even had their mother 07:26 do some robbing on their behalf. 07:28 She came to Jesus one day and asked Him to grant that 07:31 her sons sit on either side of Christ 07:33 in the new Kingdom. 07:35 And all of the behind the scenes bickering and fighting, 07:37 the Lord responded by calling the child, 07:39 they were insane, unless you are converted 07:42 and become as a little child, 07:44 you shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. 07:47 Think about it, 07:48 if you get a 120 people together to do anything, 07:51 there's going to be problems 07:52 that typically raise their ugly head. 07:55 Can you imagine spending 10 days together 07:57 in one location? 07:59 These followers were committed and sincere 08:02 about getting it right with one another and with God. 08:06 They would not let anything to interfere with 08:08 their desired goal of receiving more of the Holy Spirit, 08:10 more of His abiding presence. 08:13 This commitment and drive resulted in the God enabling 08:16 upper room prayathon. 08:19 Announcing His approval in their faithfulness, 08:21 the silence of God was broken and the promise fulfilled. 08:25 The Holy Spirit fell his flames of fire 08:27 upon every believing repentant, 08:29 reconciled seeker in the room that day. 08:32 And finally no one confessed sin, 08:34 the flames did not consume them 08:36 but bathed the recipients in an enabling power and glory. 08:40 The fledgling church was born through the strength 08:42 of their Almighty Creator. 08:44 Today or right now God is looking for people 08:47 He can trust with this amazing gift. 08:51 The question is can He trust you? 08:54 The sound of the Spirit rushing in the house 08:56 was so great that day, 08:57 it drew a crowd of curious searching people. 09:00 You see, when God transforms people, 09:02 He always attracts attention, 09:04 then on that day 3,000 responded to the preaching 09:07 of the once ignorant disciples. 09:18 Jim was a drug dealer and alcoholic 09:21 and a thief until God called him. 09:23 But that was just the beginning. 09:25 As someone said, he has lived six life times. 09:27 He became wealthy, lobbied on Capitol Hill 09:30 and was a church leader 09:31 but he was lost until God gave him a second chance. 09:35 People tell us when you start reading 09:37 "Second Chance," you can't put it down. 09:39 Your loved ones who maybe wondering 09:41 if God will give them a second chance 09:43 will love it too. 09:44

online. 11:21 I want to ask you a very personal question. 11:24 Do you sense that God is telling you that 11:26 there is, there are relationships in your life 11:28 that need repairing, reconciliation. 11:32 You don't want anything coming between you 11:34 and the gift of the latter rain, 11:37 in little book called Last Day Events. 11:39 This counsel is very appropriate. 11:41 Now I quote, "we need not worry about the latter rain 11:45 all we have to do is keep the vessel clean 11:47 and right side up 11:48 and prepare for the reception 11:50 of the heavenly rain and keep praying. 11:52 Let the latter rain come into my vessel, 11:55 you want God's vessel, 11:57 the very temple for His Holy Spirit." 11:59 Its time to clean away all the hard feelings, 12:02 the bad blood and the alienation 12:04 which may be lingering in your vessel. 12:06 It is time to become one again 12:08 just as those disciple did in the early days, 12:11 those church members in the early days 12:12 by putting away all of their differences 12:15 just like Peter. 12:19 Disciples were a real mess, 12:21 the animosity between them was so thick 12:23 that you could actually cut it with the knife, 12:25 and Jesus was going to be leaving them soon, 12:28 what would He do, what could He do to reach their hearts 12:31 and soften them so that they could become 12:32 children of the king. 12:34 Judas was the first whose feet Jesus washed. 12:37 Judas had already closed the contract to deliver Jesus 12:40 into the hands of the priest and the Scribes 12:42 and Christ knew His secret but he didn't expose him. 12:46 He hungered for his soul. 12:48 His heart was crying, oh, how can I give you up? 12:51 He hoped that this act in washing Judas' feet 12:53 would touch the heart of the erring disciple 12:56 and save him from his compelling act, 12:58 the one of disloyalty. 13:00 For a moment the heart of Judas thrilled, thrilled, and thrilled 13:03 with the impulse to confess a sin right then and there. 13:07 Oh, he just-- he was ready to jump out of his skin almost 13:10 but he continue to listen to the whispers of the adversary 13:13 who is standing near by. 13:15 He decided he would not humble himself 13:17 and he hardened his heart against repentance 13:19 and would not succumb to the urgings of the Spirit. 13:23 He made his choice 13:24 and now he was offended at Christ's act. 13:27 If Jesus would humble himself like this, 13:30 what he could not be the king of Israel, 13:32 how could he do such a thing? 13:35 Well, even Judas had he repented, 13:38 would have been received and pardoned. 13:41 The guilt of the soul would have been washed away 13:44 by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. 13:47 But self confident and self exalted, 13:49 cherishing a high estimate of his own wisdom, 13:52 he justified his course of action. 13:55 And now it was Peter's turn. 13:58 When Peter came, Peter was unable to restrain himself 14:01 and he exclaimed in absolute astonishment, 14:03 Lord if you wash my feet, what-- this is humiliating. 14:08 I can't stand, I don't want you to wash my feet. 14:11 He thought Christ the king 14:12 and now he was going to do the task of a servant. 14:15 You will never wash my feet, you will never do this. 14:20 Peter said in a strongest terms, 14:22 he wanted to push Jesus away, 14:24 but then Jesus said Peter, if I don't wash your feet, 14:27 you will have no part in my work. 14:30 Well, that immediately touched Peter, 14:32 there was a ray of light that penetrated 14:35 the mind of this disciple. 14:37 He saw that the service he refused was 14:40 actually a type of higher cleansing, 14:42 the spiritual cleansing if you will of mind and heart. 14:46 He could not endure the thought of 14:48 being separated from Jesus Christ. 14:50 Not my feet only he said, 14:52 but also my hands and my head. 14:55 You see at the promptings of the Holy Spirit, 14:57 Judas has hardened his heart 14:58 and he left the presence of God but Peter, 15:01 Peter on the other hand chose the opposite course 15:04 and allowed the God to continue 15:06 the transformation process. 15:13 At age 75 my mom and dad Jim and Janet 15:16 became Christians and they were baptized. 15:18 This was an exciting time for Janene and for me 15:21 because we've been praying for them to come to Christ 15:23 for so long. 15:25 Their joy was evident from the very beginning. 15:29 They made new friends at church, 15:30 they joined in to help missions in other parts of the world. 15:34 It was so exciting for them. 15:35 There was however one large problem 15:38 that kept cropping up. 15:40 You see in my dad's new experience 15:42 he still had terrible feelings about his sister 15:44 who had wronged him years earlier. 15:47 The hurt ran so deeply, he refused to forgive her 15:50 and he did not talk to her for many years. 15:53 This hated festered so long that he was poisoning him 15:57 from the inside out. 15:59 Some one once said that hate is like taking poison 16:02 and expecting to kill the other person. 16:05 But the Holy Spirit is relentless, 16:08 desiring our greatest good. 16:09 The Lord continued to speak to my father 16:11 until one day he picked up the phone called his sister 16:15 and the festering wound was healed. 16:17 His vessel had been cleansed and God was the winner now. 16:20 It was evident in my dad's smile and mannerisms 16:23 that the burden had been rolled away. 16:26 Many people think that they have no part 16:29 in the reconciliation process. 16:32 Even if they are not the ones at fault, 16:34 but remember neither was Jesus Christ at fault. 16:38 In his book Radical, David Platt says, 16:40 these words quote, 16:41 "He stands ready to allocate his power to all 16:44 who are radically dependent upon him 16:47 and radically devoted to making much of him." 16:51 What a God we serve. 16:55 When the disciples walked out of the upper room 16:57 on the Day of Pentecost, 16:58 Acts 2:6 indicates that the crowds 17:00 had already began to gather 17:02 because of the rushing tornado like sound that brought fire 17:05 of the Holy Spirit to their lives. 17:08 Set on fire by God, 17:10 the disciples already they take of every opportunity 17:13 God set in their pathway. 17:15 On the Day of Pentecost 17:16 they witness the mighty fire of the Spirit at work 17:18 in the hearts of an ever expanding crowd 17:21 and knew that was their invitation to partner with God 17:24 for the saving of many people. 17:26 Are you able to identify God at work 17:28 in and around your everyday life 17:30 and willing to partner with Him regardless of the earthly cost? 17:35 When you open your life to the Holy Spirit, 17:37 He will reveal where He is working, 17:39 He did it for Jesus and He will do the same for you. 17:42 And as you grow in your understanding of how God works 17:45 and become better able to see Him at work, 17:47 your life will take on a new and exciting dimension. 18:01 Jim and Janene have created a 12 week study guide 18:05 designed to lead you into a deeper 18:07 and more meaningful walk with Christ. 18:09 If you are a brand new Christian 18:10 or have been going to Church your entire life 18:13 this guide is for you. 18:14 It's perfect for individual study 18:16 or for an entire group. 18:18 The greatest gift you can give to your church 18:20 or your family is

the powerful change 18:36 that supposed to be part of every Christian experience. 18:39 Do temptations weigh on you and leave you saying, 18:42 may be I'm not trying hard enough 18:44 or wondering if God's holding up His end of the deal. 18:47 Could there be some secret everyone that you knows. 18:50 Well, there is a well kept secret 18:52 and few Christians know about it or talk about it until now. 18:57 Transformation may be the most exciting 18:59 and life changing book you'll ever read. 19:02 It's not only upbeat and easy to read 19:04 but powerful in its message, the message of

the planet. 20:13 Vital nutrients designed by the creator 20:15 provide life to the planet flow downward into this basin 20:18 and they become trapped. 20:20 What was meant to bring life stagnates and dies. 20:23 Likewise in order to have life 20:25 you must share what God is sharing with you. 20:28 Jesus said, "Behold, I say to you, 20:30 lift up your eyes, look on the fields, 20:32 for they are white to harvest already." 20:35 It was true then and it's true now. 20:37 The harvest of souls hungering to find hope is massive 20:40 and God is calling you to join Him at work. 20:43 There is no doubt that God wants you to join Him. 20:46 You can impact the world for God 20:49 as long as He is abiding in you. 20:55 You know you can't stay where you are 20:57 when God has asked you to join Him at work. 21:00 What is the work He has asked? 21:01 Well, fishing for men and woman? 21:04 As the children of the Lord, fishing is not non optional 21:07 as Pam and Dan Bullock discovered. 21:09 Dan and Pam had been our good friends for years. 21:13 As a life long church member and the wife of a surgeon 21:16 Pam did not feel that witnessing was for her, 21:19 suddenly it was optional. 21:21 No, no I'm very shy really, 21:26 most people don't think that 21:27 because I'm pretty outgoing in some ways 21:30 but I've been very shy about verbally witnessing. 21:35 I've been just quietly working doing my job, 21:38 being my good little Seventh-day Adventist self, 21:41 but I would never really say much, 21:43 but I think that unless you're really willing to grow 21:48 that's not enough. 21:50 One of the main reasons I fell in love with her 21:52 was that she had a heart for the Lord 21:54 from the very beginning, 21:55 she was a youth leader at her church, 21:58 but many of us fall into the mistaken belief 22:02 that it's okay to just be ourselves, 22:05 love people as they are 22:07 and not really actively share, may be occasionally 22:12 a word of prayer here and there on the slide, 22:15 but nothing outright 22:16 because we don't want to offend people. 22:18 And Pam went from being loving, caring person 22:23 going to community Bible study 22:24 with other women and things early on 22:27 to women who overcame her fear of 22:31 going to third world countries on mission trips. 22:33 And even recently overcame another big fear. 22:37 Well, she never wanted to have Bible studies with people. 22:40 She was desperately afraid of going to study the Bible, 22:45 even though she is a good Bible student herself, 22:47 she just didn't see herself doing that 22:49 and she recently went alone to how to give Bibles studies 22:53 on her own without me even prompting her, 22:55 so it was a wonderful thing for her and for me to watch. 22:59 What's amazing is that Bible studies really are fun. 23:02 I would never say that as a typical Pam, 23:09 it's just what was amazing was that my friend Paddy 23:14 just made it pleasurable for me. 23:17 She didn't put any pressure on me, 23:19 she just invited me to go, I took my Bible, 23:23 I just followed along. 23:25 And believe it or not, they have guides who would think 23:29 I was always thinking that Bible studies wherever 23:32 I would take my Bible and just have to know 23:35 all the scriptures. 23:36 If any body asks me a question, 23:38 I have to open it up 23:39 and just be able to know the answer. 23:42 No, thank goodness, I didn't have to, 23:45 the guides were there to kind of lead you along. 23:48 They open up questions they-- 23:50 and you have more verses that you can look up and it just, 23:54 it all falls into place and of course that's God. 24:01 Yeah, highly recommend it. 24:02 It's a really good growing experience. 24:08 What's cool about it is. 24:09 Once you have learned to recognize 24:10 where the Lord is working, 24:12 you can see Him do all sorts of amazing things. 24:16 So in this particular situation, 24:18 the couple that were studying with 24:21 happen to get interested in coming to church 24:24 from my medical practice. 24:26 And I had invited them to church 24:28 and then to see Pam and her friend invite them 24:32 to study the Bible to see if they were interested 24:35 and then go and see it develop from me being concerned 24:38 for these people offering to pray with these people, 24:41 inviting them to church and then seeing Pam follow it up. 24:44 And seeing her find a new way of sharing her love of Jesus 24:50 in an area where she never would have thought 24:52 to have the confidence before. 24:55 She just blossomed in that area. 24:57 The Holy Spirit can really do amazing things. 25:00 Well, I have made up my mind early on practice 25:03 that I wanted to touch people and let them know 25:05 that I cared about them, but at that time 25:08 I wasn't in active prayer for people. 25:11 It wasn't until we experienced God 25:13 in this way showing us 25:15 how He was at work in people's lives 25:18 that I began to be much more open to the fact 25:21 that everyday was a fresh opportunity 25:23 to see the Lord at work and to join Him there. 25:27 And see where people were having challenges 25:29 and to reveal to them that they are in a spiritual battle 25:33 against the principalities and powers in the heavens above 25:36 and that they have power potentially available 25:39 on their sides through prayer. 25:41 I just could not pray with them any more. 25:45 I was thinking about when you invited those girls to church, 25:49 they came to church and you were on call, 25:51 you didn't even go to church that day 25:53 and so the pressure was really on me 25:56 at that point to go up and introduce myself 26:00 and meet them which I would have normally just let Dan do it, 26:04 because he already knew them, 26:06 but since he wasn't there God forced me 26:10 sort of into the situation and then of course my friend Paddy 26:15 helped me out and then she took bread to them 26:18 and she set it up and you know she does made it easy for me. 26:22 And I think when you're in a situation 26:24 where somebody makes it easy for you, 26:27 then you learn from it and you enjoy it. 26:30 Yeah, you're growing, sometimes it's faster, 26:32 sometimes it's slower, sometimes you feel little pauses 26:36 and sometimes those are your fault. 26:39 But the experience of working with the Holy Spirit 26:43 to actively seek souls every day is, 26:47 it just can't be beaten. 26:52 You know Dan and Pam's rebirth experience with Christ 26:54 really begin right here in this home. 26:57 I know because my wife and I were part of that group. 27:00 Dan and I talked at the time and came to the conclusion 27:03 that the Holy Spirit was missing in our lives. 27:06 We decided to get together for study and prayer. 27:09 Not unlike those disciples on the day of Pentecost 27:12 only we needed far more help. 27:15 Our tool was a study guide that laid out five days 27:18 of study and prayer each week. 27:20 It seem like a big commitment at the time 27:22 but as we can now all testify, it was life changing 27:26 and well worth it. 27:27 Janene and I remember those times with great joy 27:30 with wonderful happiness, as we see the fire in the hearts 27:34 of God's people go out today we yearn for that time 27:37 when more Christians will wake up 27:39 and prepare for the Lord soon return. 27:42 For that reason we've written Transformation, 27:45 it's a study guide a 12 week study guide and also a book. 27:49 Is designed to lead you to a closer walk 27:51 with your God than ever before. 27:54 We urge you to start your study now. |
