00:41 Welcome to the 3ABN Spring Camp Meeting:
00:44 The Three Angels' Messages 00:51 Hello and welcome to our first night of 3ABN 00:55 Spring Camp Meeting! Are you happy to be here? 00:58 Amen! Yes! 01:02 We anticipate a wonderful time in the Lord. 01:06 We are looking forward for what the Lord is going to do 01:09 for us, to us, with us, and through us 01:12 for the next several days. 01:14 And Danny... take it away. Oh! OK. 01:17 He did pretty good, didn't he? 01:19 You should be here 'cause we've got some things going on 01:22 behind the scenes that you probably don't know. 01:24 One was he didn't know he was going to do the intro. 01:26 But I think he did quite well, don't you? That's right. 01:29 And we are glad that you're here tonight, 01:31 and this Camp meeting is going to be on present truth. 01:34 And so that's been the theme of 3ABN this year for 2018: 01:39 present truth. And God has blessed with some incredible 01:43 subjects for the speakers. BUT for the music 01:47 we said: "What can we do to do a new project 01:51 on the three angels' messages? " 01:52 We've really never seen anything done. 01:54 And so part of our testimony is going to be... 01:57 The concert is Friday night at 6 o'clock. 01:59 Six o'clock I said to everybody; not seven now. 02:02 Some people probably think it's seven, you know. Yeah. 02:05 But six. I thought the program tonight was at seven. 02:09 That's our private joke for those of you at home. 02:11 Barely made it here in time. 02:13 But 6 o'clock Friday night have a concert with some 02:16 brand new songs written on the three angels' messages. 02:19 Lanny Wolfe will be here. David Huntsinger; 02:21 Kris Wilkinson... did the Pillars project. 02:24 Others will be here. David Clydesdale, one of the 02:27 arrangers, is here. And so we're going to have some tremendous 02:30 guests and brothers and sisters in the Lord. 02:34 And tonight we have Aaron Wilburn's going to be here 02:35 in a few moments. Yeah... amen. But 02:37 Jill, I think there's something that you wanted to do 02:40 or say right now. This might be a good time 02:42 to do it, don't you think so? 02:44 You've got something in your hand. I have something 02:46 in my hand here. How many of you know and love 02:48 Ms. Mollie Steenson? 02:54 Mollie has served 3ABN for many many many years 02:59 and has been an incredible blessing 03:02 in my own heart and life. 03:05 And Mollie and Pastor Hal are getting ready to move 03:09 to Alabama. That does not mean 03:12 that they won't be back for Camp Meeting, 03:14 they won't be back for taping here and there, 03:16 and we're excited about that and we're thankful for that. 03:20 But 3ABN, our team here, we wanted to recognize 03:24 you, Mollie, in a special way for your years of service. 03:26 We have this plaque here. It says: you want to hold that? 03:31 With our deepest appreciation Three Angels Broadcasting 03:34 Network hereby honors Mollie Steenson 03:37 for over two decades of faithful service 03:40 and loyal commitment to spreading the undiluted 03:44 three angels' messages of Revelation 14 03:46 to the world from 1995 to 2018. 03:52 Through your Christian service you have personified 03:55 Colossians 3:12-13: 03:57 "Therefore the elect of God, holy and beloved, 04:01 put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, 04:03 longsuffering, bearing with one another and forgiving 04:07 one another. " And Mollie, I just know 04:09 from my own heart you're a woman of God. 04:13 You're a Proverbs 31 woman. 04:16 She's a woman of grace and dignity. 04:19 And today your children - which is us here at 3ABN, 04:23 us at Camp Meetings, those of you at home - 04:25 we rise up and we call you blessed. 04:29 Thank you; thank you. 04:36 I am so honored and I just want to say this: 04:39 this Camp Meeting... There's a couple sitting on the front row 04:43 and they were in my office earlier today. 04:46 And I told them: "You just watch. This is going to be 04:48 the greatest Camp Meeting you've ever been to. " 04:50 And they said something to the effect of: 04:52 "You always say that! " 04:53 And I told them: "You just wait till Saturday night! " 04:57 When we start to leave here I'm going to look at them 05:00 and say: "You know what? I told you so! " 05:02 This is going to be the greatest Camp Meeting. 05:04 And I want to just continue with this: when I came to 3ABN 05:08 I didn't know what the three angels' messages was. 05:11 I was a little Charismatic girl 05:14 that Danny loved enough to invite me to come be 05:18 a part of this great ministry. 05:19 And I want you to know it's these messages 05:22 that we're going to hear about during this Camp Meeting 05:25 that have changed my life. 05:27 If there's anything worthy that you see within me, 05:30 it's because what God has done through His Word. 05:33 And I just appreciate... Danny, thank you so much 05:36 for allowing me to be a part of this ministry at a time... 05:41 This is the Mending Broken People ministry, 05:43 and I'm one of those people that was broken that God has 05:46 mended. And I just am so grateful 05:49 not only for this ministry but for God's Word 05:53 that is powerful. And it's that Word that is going to change 05:56 every one of us this weekend. 05:58 Amen! Thank you, Mollie Sue. 06:06 I've known Mollie and Hal since the late 70's. 06:08 They came from Alabama and started a Charismatic church. 06:11 Years and years later we were so blessed to have she and Hal 06:15 to join the 3ABN family. 06:18 And she was general manager for many many years. 06:20 Jill now has taken that role. 06:23 And you had a good mentor, so Jill is stepping right in 06:27 and doing a wonderful job. 06:28 And Mollie, I love you with all my heart. You know that. 06:31 And Bro. Hal. And so this is not good-bye, of course. 06:34 But we're just doing this 'cause it's formally retirement 06:36 but Mollie's going to be around. You're going to see her 06:37 on Sabbath School programs. 06:39 You're going to see her at Camp Meetings. 06:40 You're going to see her all kinds of things, so... 06:42 doing programming. She's just not going to be 06:44 in the day-to-day as she has been for so many years 06:48 for a number of reason... and they're good reasons. 06:50 But we love you and thank you so much. 06:52 And Pastor John, I wonder if you would say a special prayer. 06:54 Let's just kind of lay hands on Mollie: all of us here 06:57 and you say a special prayer for Mollie and Hal, OK? 07:01 Loving Father in heaven, 07:04 You saw Mollie's journey before she even took the first step. 07:11 You looked down, as Danny has said, through the portals 07:14 of time and Your eyes have been roaming to and fro 07:18 throughout the earth to find someone 07:23 whose heart is loyal to You. 07:25 And You found Mollie and You anointed her, Lord, 07:29 with Your Holy Spirit and You nurtured her 07:33 in this path of righteousness and truth and integrity 07:37 and dedication. And Lord, we stand here today 07:42 with our hands on a spiritual "Stradivarius. " 07:45 Hmm. Somebody who has been cured by time 07:51 whose spirituality could not be developed overnight 07:56 but through trial and tribulation, 07:58 through hard decisions and moments when it seemed easier 08:03 to run than to stand still. 08:06 Mollie chose to stand still and see the salvation of 08:09 the Lord - um-hmm - and we honor her today 08:12 for her steadfastness. When the storms of challenge came 08:17 Mollie looked to You and said: "Father, bring us through. " 08:22 And there were those who walked through the doors of 3ABN 08:25 day by day and they said: "Is Mollie here? " 08:27 When the answer was "Yes" their hearts were calmed. 08:30 But Father, now we come to the intersection of time 08:35 and I pray that the works that Mollie has done will follow her, 08:39 will speak to the hearts of generations to come, 08:42 and may those who come behind her find her faithful. 08:45 Amen! Bless Pastor Hal and as they both sojourn now 08:50 to be with family and to be in Alabama 08:52 to just "stop and smell the roses" 08:54 we look forward to the day when we can hear the words: 08:56 "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. " Yes. 08:59 And when the roll is called up yonder 09:01 somewhere there's going to be some Alabamians 09:03 singing Hallelujah! 09:05 We know we're going to hear Mollie and Hal as they rise 09:07 to meet the Lord in the air. 09:09 So we don't say good-bye... 09:11 we just say: "So long for now. " 09:12 And may we sojourn, may we continue to be faithful, 09:15 and may every fabric You have spun to strengthen her resolve 09:21 continue to grow until the day she hears the words 09:26 "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. " 09:28 And we praise You and we thank you in Jesus' name, 09:31 Amen. Amen. Thank you, Mollie Sue. 09:34 Thank you so much. God bless! 09:36 Once again, thank you for joining us at Spring 2018 09:40 Camp Meeting: Present Truth. 09:42 This is going to be by God's grace. 09:45 Each and every one of us should not go home the way we came. 09:48 How many's open to the Holy Spirit to do great 09:51 and mighty, marvelous things in your life, right? 09:53 Every one of us should be 09:54 because we all want to make heaven our home. 09:57 So what we're going to do now: we're going to go into a little 09:58 bit of music, and we have Bro. Tim Parton over here. 10:02 Tim, I think you're going to be first. How many appreciate 10:04 Tim? You can let him know so. 10:08 Tim is one of the - and I say this from my heart - 10:15 one of the greatest musicians I've ever... and I've worked 10:17 with a lot of well-known names over the years... 10:20 and still - even on this new project - one of the greatest 10:24 musicians that I have ever met in my life. 10:27 But not only that, one of the greatest friends... 10:29 an incredible musician, singer. God has gifted him. 10:34 There's an anointing of the Holy Spirit 10:36 that goes along with him when he sits down to minister. 10:40 So Tim, thank you so much. I love you. 10:42 And he's general manager of our new Praise Him! channel. 13:58 Amen! Thank you Bro. Tim. God bless! 14:03 I'd like to introduce for those who don't know... 14:05 probably most of you know Aaron Wilburn. 14:07 Any of you know Aaron Wilburn? 14:08 Make him welcome to 3ABN Camp Meeting. 14:12 And I could tell you about songs like It's Beginning to Rain 14:17 that he co-wrote with the Gaithers and 14:19 It Sounds Like Home To Me that's on this brand-new project. 14:22 Aaron is... We've known each other since the late 70's 14:26 or maybe 1980... something like that. 14:28 He's been song writer of the year many times. 14:31 He's written hundreds of songs. 14:32 Those you would know the names of them. 14:35 Probably... I don't know how many songs have been on the 14:38 "charts" as they call it, but an incredible, incredible 14:42 song writer. But more importantly, an incredible 14:44 friend and a man who loves Jesus. 14:46 And our relationship has been a great relationship 14:51 over the years. But he stopped by tonight. 14:54 We asked him "Can you stop? " He's actually traveling. 14:57 Since he wrote one of the songs "It Sounds Like Home To Me" 15:00 from this project, but I wanted he and Tim 15:03 to maybe do something. Would you like to hear him sing 15:05 and minister to us a little bit? Amen! 15:07 And so I got a call... Yvonne and I... I don't know, it's been 15:10 a year or two ago from Aaron and he says: 15:14 "I was just watching Doug Batchelor on 3ABN 15:18 and in 30 minutes he changed my whole perception 15:22 of what happens to you when you die. " He said: 15:24 "I never knew that. " 15:25 And so that's been a little bit of change for you. 15:28 It ruined my theology. 15:33 But it helped you write some new songs! 15:35 Absolutely! They actually are writing a brand new song. 15:38 What's it called? Rest Well. Rest Well. 15:41 Now what's that tell you? 15:42 Nobody's up dancing, shouting. You know, you're just resting 15:46 in the grave, but it's amazing. 15:48 And we're going to... After you do the song you're going to do - 15:52 It's a new song you guys have written, right? Um-hmm. 15:54 Could you just do maybe a verse and chorus of... 15:56 The reason I'm asking him to do a verse and chorus 15:59 I'm not sure you've got the second verse written yet, 16:00 do you? We don't. We just have to hum it right now. 16:03 Maybe you just want to do... Maybe you just want to do that. 16:07 So tell us what you're going to do here tonight. 16:09 This song is... You know, we all have tough times 16:14 and usually we're not very honest... at least not totally 16:18 honest with some of the things we go through. 16:21 And when you're not honest it leaves everybody else 16:25 thinking something's wrong with them because they're 16:27 going through some tough times. Um-hmm. 16:30 And this song was written October the 7th last year. 16:34 And I'll be honest: that night I suffered 16:37 probably the worst betrayal of my life. 16:42 And I wrote this song that night 16:46 as I cried out to God. 16:51 And there's no other way for me to say it except 16:54 I was just totally dependent upon His strength 16:59 and on His hand. 17:02 And I wrote these lyrics and then Tim Parton 17:05 has written one of the most phenomenal melodies 17:10 that I've ever had someone write to one of my lyrics. 17:15 And I pray that this song will be a strength 17:19 and a help and a hope to people who are 17:24 in desperate times going through a desperate situation 17:28 and your strength is gone. Amen! 17:31 Right after this I want to talk to you about a new project 17:34 we've been... It's your idea but I think it's fabulous. 17:37 And I think our folks at home and our viewers 17:39 will be happy to hear about - OK - this new project 17:41 you want to do... OK... thank you! 17:54 Frightened and lonely 17:58 I lie in the dark. 18:02 The silence so loud 18:06 with each beat of my heart. 18:10 Looking for hope 18:13 but there's no hope in view. 18:17 I feel like a child 18:21 crying to You: 18:26 Please carry me... I'm too weak 18:32 to stand. 18:35 I've carried this burden 18:39 as long as I can. 18:45 My strength is gone. 18:49 Father, I'm weak. 18:53 I can't go on. 18:59 Please... carry me. 19:17 The pain of the journey, 19:21 the unknown ahead, 19:25 but then there's the memory 19:29 of what You have said: 19:32 that You will be with me 19:36 when others are gone 19:40 and I won't have to travel 19:43 this road all alone! 19:49 Please carry me. 19:52 I'm too weak to stand. 19:56 I've carried this burden 20:00 as long as I can. 20:04 Lord, my strength is gone. 20:09 Father, I'm weak. 20:12 I can't go on... 20:18 Please... carry me. 20:27 Carry me! 20:34 Carry me! 20:40 Carry me! 20:47 Please carry me... I'm too weak to stand. 20:53 I've carried this burden 20:57 as long as I can. 21:02 Lord, my strength is gone. 21:07 Father, I'm weak. 21:11 I can't go on. 21:17 I can't go on. 21:20 I can't go on... 21:25 please... carry me. 21:40 Amen... beautiful! 21:43 Beautiful! Aaron, let's talk for just a moment 21:46 about... talk about a new project. 21:49 First of all, those of you... If you ever turn to YouTube, 21:52 Aaron has some... I'll say songs... and he has some of 21:56 his... He does... have you ever heard of like "gospel comedy? " 21:59 What it is is just good clean fun, right? 22:01 And in fact, I heard you were just... I didn't know there was 22:04 a category like this... but you're gospel comedian 22:06 of the year. I thought I was but they said you were. 22:09 You weren't there this time. 22:10 Not on purpose on my part... just out of ignorance. 22:14 But you really try to be that and you did... What was that? 22:17 Tell us what happened. Voice Magazine, a gospel magazine, 22:22 in their awards this year I was comedian of the year 22:27 because you weren't there. 22:28 Yeah. Yeah... he called me and we were talking 22:32 and Yvonne said: "Aaron was comedian of the year. " 22:34 I said: "Well who said? " 22:36 She said: "Well I don't know. " 22:37 I said: "Well how did they know? I wasn't there. " 22:39 You know, so... No, I'm just kidding. 22:42 If I'm that way, it's just out of ignorance. 22:44 He plans it. But Aaron, if you turn on, 22:47 go into YouTube he's got songs like... I guess we can talk 22:50 about this tonight. If my nose was running money, 22:53 I'd blow it all on you. 22:55 Now, it's got like 11 million hits on YouTube. 22:58 This guy is serious. When you go and you've gotta look up 23:01 some of the stuff that he does. 23:03 But what he does is so amazing 23:06 that I said: "How can this work into 3ABN? " 23:08 Aaron, tell them about the idea of ministering to those 23:13 that really maybe don't have good prognosis for the future. 23:17 You know, a lot of us wake up to wonderful days 23:23 and a lot of people don't wake up to wonderful days. 23:26 And I was sharing with Danny some of the songs that I just 23:30 recorded on my last project and the fact that 23:35 I had been sending some of them out to hospitals 23:40 and to different groups where people are terminally ill 23:44 and in depression and a lot of situations like that. 23:49 And Danny said: "Wow! I've never thought 23:52 of that kind of ministry to our audience. " 23:57 And we began talking about it and so one thing led to another 24:03 and now we are in the talking stages of planning a project 24:08 that will be sent out through 3ABN 24:14 for everyone to have a copy - a free copy - 24:19 of a CD that will make them laugh, 24:22 will brighten their day. If they're in depression, 24:25 if they have a prognosis that is not a good one, 24:31 and just people that need to smile again 24:34 and a ministry of laughter. 24:38 And laughter is no accident. It's not something we invented. 24:41 God gave laughter! 24:44 And Danny said: "I've never thought of it as an instrument 24:49 of ministry. " And so that began the talk. 24:54 I said: "It has to be good because I recently had my 24:57 gall bladder taken out and this was a few weeks before. 24:59 He came to Marion to one of the churches 25:03 and invited us over, and I for- got I had gall bladder problems. 25:06 I was laughing so loud for about an hour 25:09 then after I left I'm like: "Oh... I'm hurting! " 25:11 So I said: "You know what? This is a great ministry! 25:14 It helps you to forget about your pain for a bit. " 25:16 But it really is. St. Jude's Hospital for instance. 25:19 Every patient, we should give every child one of these free. 25:22 And with your help we would do that 25:24 and it will also introduce them to Jesus. 25:26 While we're going to have a lot of fun, it's not telling jokes. 25:29 He's telling real life stories and things that are just funny 25:32 that happen to us every day. 25:34 But for children to encourage them. 25:36 For adults, to encourage them 25:38 but also represent Jesus 25:40 and package Jesus into this whole thing 25:43 because He's the One who allows us... allows us to laugh 25:46 and to be happy. So how many would like to see 25:48 this project go through? All right, take their names down 25:51 because we're going to ask them to send some money 25:54 and help with this. OK... we got you. 25:56 Those of you at home if you're impressed to do so 25:59 say: "We want to help this project. " 26:01 And we would like to do it. It'd be from 3ABN 26:03 to terminally ill people everywhere 26:07 would get 'em free... there's no charge. 26:09 We want you to have this and let them enjoy life 26:12 and to find some happiness in their life and find Jesus 26:16 for those that don't already have Him. Um-hmm. 26:17 OK. Rest Well... tell us about what it's about. 26:21 and then sing what you've got written. I was listening to John 26:25 and it had always troubled me that you can walk through 26:30 a cemetery and one headstone says "With Jesus" 26:34 another one says: "Singing With Angels. " 26:36 And another one says: "Asleep Till Jesus Comes. " 26:40 How can you do all that at once? 26:44 While you're dead! While you're dead. 26:47 But John in 30 minutes explained it, and I sat there 26:52 and thought: "Wow! Truth is simple. " 26:56 Amen! Um-hmm... there you go! 27:00 Anyway, there was... I had a different way of looking at it. 27:06 And because of that, not long ago when a friend of mine 27:11 passed away I thought: "I want to write a song 27:17 that conveys this mindset... this truth... 27:23 this knowledge. " And so why don't you tell quickly 27:28 the verse and then we'll sing the chorus. 27:31 Can we do that? 27:32 It broke my heart to get the news 27:35 your road of life came to an end. 27:39 I guess we all have things we'd love to say 27:43 and this is what I'll say: 27:45 "Until I see you again 27:50 rest well. " 27:54 "Your burden has been heavy; 27:57 rest well. " 28:01 "Your journey has been long 28:04 and you've been smiling lately when you spoke of going home. " 28:12 "I'm here to say my last good-bye. 28:16 Though there are tears in my eyes 28:20 until our Lord commands you 'Rise! ' 28:26 rest well. " 28:29 All right! Amen! 28:32 Thank you so much. Aaron Wilburn. All right! 28:42 Aaron really is one of the funniest and one of the nicest 28:46 people - one of the smartest people - 28:48 I've ever met. Absolutely brilliant in what he does. 28:51 But he's a master at taking real-life situations 28:55 and having fun with it. Things that happen to him 28:58 when he travels and things. He has a song called 29:01 Saturday. What is it? Wal-Mart? Where'd he go? 29:04 Saturday night at Wal-Mart. 29:07 And he describes when he went in there at midnight 29:09 all the different kinds of people that come in 29:11 at Wal-Mart on Saturday night. Any of you ever heard that? 29:14 Some of you have. You go to YouTube and you'll 29:16 hear some and just type in Aaron Wilburn 29:18 and you'll be laughing for hours. So don't overdose on it. 29:21 We don't want you to laugh to death 29:23 but we want you to have fun. 29:26 Now it's a great great privilege to introduce Ryan Day. 29:30 And come up here, Ryan. 29:32 He's a little short guy. Yep! 29:34 And Ryan is an amazing story 29:38 for him to be... And this week you and your wife Stephanie 29:43 started full time with 3ABN. That's right! 29:46 And so you've been doing what the last several years? 29:48 The last five years I've been traveling doing evangelism 29:51 for Amazing Facts Ministry. 29:53 All right... praise the Lord! 29:55 Your journey... You were United Pentecostal 29:58 and your journey through becoming an Adventist 30:02 was an interesting one. It was! And so I guess 30:06 someone in your family ended up becoming one 30:08 and then your dad began to study. 30:10 And then you said you read a book. 30:12 That's right. I had a gentleman come in to our little 30:15 non-denominational Sabbath- keeping church at the time 30:18 because we were convinced of the Sabbath but 30:20 didn't know all the other truth. 30:21 Guy walks in with a big stack of books 30:23 and one of them stuck out. 30:25 It said: Ten Commandments Twice Removed. 30:27 All right! Danny Shelton and Shelley Quinn. 30:29 Um-hmm. And I read that book and it's been incredible ever since. 30:33 Wow! Absolutely! What happened is 30:35 Reggie and Ladye Love Smith, they're not able to be with us. 30:38 For the first time in a long time they're on a cruise. 30:40 Now can you imagine taking a cruise to Europe 30:42 rather than be here at Camp Meeting? That's amazing! 30:45 So if they're watching from over there 'cause they're traveling 30:48 right now, Reggie and Ladye Love, 30:50 but we had planned on... We're doing this and 30:53 of course Reggie's got such an incredible tenor voice 30:55 and Ladye Love's got a powerful voice 30:58 and we found out that their schedule... There was a conflict 31:01 they couldn't come and that really shook us. 31:03 We said: "Man, we've got new songs being written; 31:06 what are we going to do for a singer? " 31:08 Well Tim Parton said to me: "There's someone coming 31:12 to the studio. He talked to Jill. 31:14 He's never recorded an album 31:16 but he's a singer and wanted to come to look at our studio 31:20 and see about recording. " 31:21 That was Ryan Day. So after Ryan left I called Tim. 31:25 I don't know if any of you ever hear of David Phelps 31:27 with the Gaithers? 31:28 Great tenor singer, right? One of the greatest in America. 31:31 So after he left I said to Tim... I said: 31:36 "Can Ryan sing? " And he said: "Yeah he sings; he sings well. " 31:40 I said: "Oh, good! " I said: "How? Tell me a little bit 31:45 so we'll know. " He said: "You know David Phelps? " 31:48 I said: "Yeah. " He said: "Well he's in that category. " 31:51 And I said: "What? 31:53 An Adventist with Amazing Facts an evangelist, and he could 31:57 be in that range? " So I said: "You're kidding, right? " 32:00 He said: "No... I'm not kidding. " 32:01 He said: "This guy has one of the most incredible voices 32:03 I've ever heard. " And so we went down to the studio 32:06 to record some of these songs 32:08 specifically written with you in mind with David Huntsinger's 32:11 brand new "And They Sang A New Song" 32:13 and the back-up singers and many of those with the Gaithers 32:17 and others were there. As soon as he starts 32:19 they said: "Who is this? " 32:20 Melody was singing in the choir with them. She said: 32:23 "Ryan Day. " And they said: "Yeah, but WHO is this? " 32:25 "Ryan Day. " They said: "Why have we never heard of him? " 32:28 And so we said: "Well you will now. " 32:30 So it's a great privilege and honor that we get to 32:33 introduce you, and then Friday night on the concert 32:36 Ryan is going to be singing. 32:38 Doing a duet of More Than Wonderful with Yvonne. 32:41 Um-hmm. And so the whole project is amazing. 32:43 So Ryan, we're so thankful that you and your wife 32:46 Stephanie are here. And Ryan's going to be working 32:48 with Tim Parton on the music channel as well as doing 32:51 programs, preaching on 3ABN. 32:54 The Fjarli's are here. They said you were out in their area 32:56 and the people loved the evangelistic series. 32:58 So we've got a new preacher and a new singer. 33:01 Make him welcome, all right? 33:20 When peace like 33:24 a river 33:28 attendeth 33:32 my way, 33:35 when sorrows like 33:39 sea billows 33:43 roll... 33:48 whatever my lot 33:54 Thou hast taught me 34:00 to say: 34:02 "It is well... 34:06 it is well 34:11 with my soul. " 34:19 It is well 34:25 with my soul. 34:32 It is well... 34:36 it is well 34:41 with 34:43 my soul. 34:55 Oh, and Lord haste 35:00 the day 35:04 when my faith shall be sight! 35:10 The clouds be rolled back 35:16 as a scroll! 35:23 The trumpet shall sound 35:29 and the Lord shall descend... 35:35 but even so 35:39 it is well 35:43 with my soul. 35:54 It is well 36:02 with my soul. 36:06 It is well... 36:09 it is well 36:13 with my soul... 36:19 It is well... 36:22 it is well 36:29 with my 36:34 soul! 36:47 Amen. 36:49 Amen! Thank you Ryan. 36:53 Beautiful! We were in the studio and... 36:56 and he was singing a song that for those of you that know 36:59 a little bit about tenor singers and it was an E flat. 37:02 He went from a low... high E flat 37:06 and I said: "Wow! That is amazing 37:07 that kind of range. " So I heard Tim 37:09 had him in the piano booth back there, and I kept 37:12 hearing him go higher and higher and higher 37:14 and I said: "Well, he doesn't need to go higher than that. " 37:16 I said: "Tim, what did you have him doing? " 37:18 He said: "I had him at D flat above middle C. " 37:20 I said: "Why? " He said: "I just wanted to see how high 37:23 he could go! " He said: "He doesn't seem to have a range... 37:26 no end to his range. " 37:28 So we still don't know what it is, 37:29 but for a male to be able to do it with such a beautiful voice 37:33 but mainly you notice he has an anointing 37:35 and that's what's so amazing. 37:37 So we're so thankful that Ryan accepted... 37:40 he's already a Christian but accepted the truth 37:43 and is now here at 3ABN. 37:46 And we're so thankful for he and his wife Stephanie also. 37:49 Now it's my privilege to bring out Pastor John Lomacang. 37:52 And Pastor John has written a brand-new book for 3ABN: 37:58 The Three Angels' Messages In Summary. 38:01 And just take a minute and tell us a little bit about it - 38:03 sure - and the need for it. And it's going to go along with 38:06 the brand-new CD of Give Him Glory! 38:09 Thank you Danny. 38:10 You know, friends, oftentimes we hear about 38:12 the three angels' messages 38:15 but more times than not as we travel we hear people 38:20 say: "Whatever happened to our message? " 38:23 "Whatever happened to the mes- sage that God has given to us? 38:25 It's such a unique message. It doesn't need to be 38:28 deleted or modified or changed. " 38:30 And so what I've done... And Danny asked me a few months 38:33 ago and I thought... That was actually before we 38:36 even knew that we were going to have a three angels' messages 38:39 Camp Meeting. 38:40 And there were so many challenges in writing this book. 38:45 As a matter of fact, the day that I announced to my wife 38:48 that I'm almost done is when I broke my finger. 38:52 The devil tried everything he could to stop this book 38:55 from being finished. And then we went to New Guinea. 38:57 And I see that going to New Guinea was an actual blessing 39:01 because the Lord took us and isolated us away from 39:03 everything that would distract us. 39:06 And I used my headset and I spoke in the last few words 39:09 as it audibly typed... it typed as I spoke them in. 39:14 But it's designed to reach the person who 39:17 may want to re-familiarize themself with the message 39:20 OR the person who never heard it before. 39:24 But I want to tell you it's 45, 46 pages 39:27 but don't let the size fool you. It's like one of those 39:30 pills you get when you go to the doctor that's really really tiny 39:35 and he says: "Don't make a mistake and take two. " 39:38 Well, this book is not for the faint of heart. 39:41 But we're not living in an hour where we can modify 39:45 or dilute God's Word. Can you say amen to that? 39:47 Amen! So if you want to really share with friends 39:50 and people that have not heard the message, 39:54 it's even designed to reach your contemporary audience. 39:57 I intentionally didn't put angels on the cover 40:00 because people that are not Christians won't even understand 40:03 what that means. And so, if you travel 40:07 carry a bunch with you. They are available here tonight. 40:09 You can buy them in bulk also. 40:10 But we want the message - this closing message - 40:14 to be shared to the world. People need to know it. 40:17 And if it is the period at the end of the 6,000 year sentence 40:20 what a time and what a message. Amen somebody? 40:24 Amen! So tonight along with that Danny has 40:27 agreed if you get a CD you get one of those for free. 40:29 But then they are available also out in the foyer. 40:32 And all I want is for the Lord to be praised 40:34 through that, for people to be in the kingdom 40:36 because of this message that belongs to the Lord... 40:38 I'm just the messenger. 40:41 But tonight I'm going to sing a song entitled 40:43 "There Is A River. " 40:45 You know, there's a river that continues to cleanse us 40:47 from all the defilement of sin. 40:49 And tonight no matter where you may be in your walk with Christ 40:52 if you need to be re-acquainted with Jesus 40:55 to know that that river is still flowing today 40:58 tonight there is a river. 41:14 There 41:17 is a river 41:23 and it flows from deep 41:29 within. 41:34 There is 41:39 the fountain 41:43 and it frees a soul 41:49 from sin. 41:54 Come to 41:59 this water... 42:03 there is a vast 42:09 supply! 42:14 There is 42:19 a river 42:24 that never shall 42:29 run dry. 42:34 There was 42:37 a thirsty woman... 42:44 she was drawing from 42:49 the well. 42:53 You see, her life 42:57 was bruised and broken 43:03 and her soul was bound 43:09 for hell. 43:13 Oh, but then 43:17 she met the Master 43:23 and He told her of 43:29 her sin. 43:32 He said: "If you drink 43:37 from this water, 43:44 you'll never thirst 43:49 again! " 43:52 Oh, there... 43:57 there is a river 44:04 and it flows 44:07 from deep within. 44:14 Yes, there is 44:19 a fountain 44:23 and it frees a soul 44:29 from sin. 44:34 So come 44:37 to this water... 44:43 there is a vast 44:49 supply! 44:54 Yes, there is 44:59 a river 45:03 and it never 45:08 shall 45:10 run dry. 45:18 Hallelujah! Thank you Pastor. 45:24 Thank you Pastor John. 45:25 I'd like to bring out - shouldn't say introduce - 45:28 I'm sure you know John and Rosemary Malkiewycz 45:31 all the way from Down Under. Yes! That's right! 45:33 And they're so happy about it, too. 45:35 Can you imagine? They could be living in a place 45:37 like southern Illinois and they like Australia. 45:39 I mean, that's just amazing to me. 45:41 I've gotta do this for Jason and any Australians: 45:45 Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! 45:46 Thank you. OK. We're so glad that you're here. 45:50 3ABN Australia has been what? Fifteen years? 45:54 Fifteen years. Isn't that amazing? 45:56 So we don't have a lot of time so I'm going to back away 45:58 and let you bring us an update. 46:00 We've got so much to cover and then we want Rosemary 46:02 to sing for us if there's time. 46:04 OK. You know, it's 15 years as we just mentioned 46:08 since 3ABN Australia, but it all began when we were 46:11 missionaries overseas. 46:12 We had a desire after we saw 3ABN 46:15 for the very first time in Thailand 46:18 that we thought this would be good in Australia. 46:20 So we came back to Australia 46:22 and one intention only: to have 3ABN - the three angels' 46:27 messages - go across Australia. 46:29 And we have watched over the 15 years how God has 46:32 led and directed 3ABN Australia starting with nothing, 46:37 just with a little green "Kermit" four-wheel drive 46:40 with dishes on top. We've done 3 trips around 46:44 Australia putting in satellite dishes. 46:46 And Danny, I cannot remember how many thousand 46:48 dishes I've put in personally. 46:50 And even last week I was putting in dishes 46:53 for people in service for the Lord. 46:55 I think it's a terrific way to witness. 46:58 And I encourage any of you who want to do that 47:00 to get in there and do it 'cause people need to know about 47:03 Jesus' return. I must say life was a lot less complicated 47:06 then. Yes! When just putting in satellite dishes. 47:11 Now... now we have our production center. 47:14 We have had that building... we opened it 47:17 in... officially in 2013. 47:20 We moved into it in 2012 47:22 and now we make programs for 3ABN's international channel. 47:27 Um-hmm. And it's really great 47:30 to see the programs go out and have people contact us 47:33 and say how much they love it. 47:35 BUT we have something even more exciting. 47:38 Danny, in October from the 11th to the 14th 47:44 we are going to have you and Yvonne, 47:47 Greg and Jill, 47:49 John and Angie and Tim Parton 47:52 in Avondale Memorial Church 47:55 in Cooranbong, New South Wales, 47:57 from Thursday night to Sunday lunch 48:01 for a marathon spiritual feast. 48:05 What date is it? 11th of October to the 14th. 48:09 OK. Wonderful. I'm happy to... let's go! 48:11 Let's do it! And the following weekend 48:14 the 19th and 20th of October where are we going to be? 48:17 In Tasmania! Tasmanians know when you pronounce 48:21 a town the right way. It's spelt Launceston 48:25 but it's actually said Longceston. 48:27 I've been coaching him. 48:30 So we'll be going there for a rally. 48:33 You know, the whole intent when 3ABN travels 48:36 is to be a blessing to people. To help them to know the truth 48:41 and to know particularly truth for these times. 48:43 You know, Danny, I was thinking about the 3 angels' messages. 48:47 John wrote a book, a summary. 48:50 We just heard the other day something I'd like to share 48:52 with you: a summary of a summary. 48:54 And the first angel's message is: God's truth; 48:58 the second angel's message is: Satan's lies; 49:02 and the third one is: you choose. 49:05 And that's really... I like... That's great. 49:08 That explains it very well. 49:11 It... yes... Just recently 49:14 just over 12 months, no, not quite 12 months ago, 49:16 we went onto a platform - a government platform - 49:19 where you can see all the commercial channels 49:22 across Australia. Now it's a dream for Christian 49:25 organizations to be able to be on there. 49:29 And I want to tell you it was a miracle of God 49:31 because we are on there right now 49:34 across the whole of Australia. The only Christian channel 49:38 and it's being received in an incredible way. 49:41 I could spend the next hour telling you about it, 49:44 but I'm not allowed to... I'm watching the clock. 49:46 You know, it's very interesting. When we first started out 49:49 we wanted our church members to have the privilege of seeing 49:52 3ABN, but then last year when we came across 49:56 a difficult time we prayed to God 49:58 and said: "You know God, how can we reach more people? " 50:02 And it's very interesting because God answers prayer 50:05 sometimes in a delayed response 50:09 but sometimes He responds very quickly. 50:12 And I just want to tell you that God opened a way 50:15 for us to be on that network 50:17 and it was an answer to prayer. 50:19 I didn't have to go to a committee meeting. 50:21 I didn't have to discuss it with anyone. 50:24 He didn't ask your permission. 50:25 No. That's good. I didn't say to Rosemary: 50:28 "Do you think we should go on? " I passed her office 50:31 and I said: "We are going to go on Vast. " 50:33 And he did that as he streaked past... he popped his head in. 50:37 What's the name of it? It's Vast... V-A... 50:40 How do you spell it? V- A-S-T. 50:43 Viewer Access... You were saying Bast. 50:46 I was saying Bast all the time and she just said 50:48 past... we went past something. And I say past, so it's 50:51 vast and V-A-S-T. 50:54 We speak the proper English. 50:57 You speak American. 50:59 Yes. 51:04 So you know, God opened this door up 51:06 and He just prepared everything for it to take place. 51:10 Right now it's going across Australia 51:13 and reaching into homes about... When we started 51:16 it was just over 300,000 homes, over a million people. 51:20 In the last eleven months 51:22 it's grown by 28,000 homes. 51:25 Now I don't know if you can work that out 51:27 but that's about 600 to 800 homes 51:30 every week are getting access to 3ABN. 51:34 Amen! That's a two-hander. 51:37 So what can I say, Danny? We want to see the gospel go 51:41 to many many places around the world. 51:43 We have to start where we are, so I'd encourage you 51:47 to take the steps. Because I remember Danny 51:50 when I saw him the first time on television 51:52 he said: "The blessing is on the GO! " 51:54 You ought to believe that. 51:56 You can pray "till the cows come home" they say, 51:58 but until you take that first step God can't work. 52:03 So I'd encourage you: take the step. 52:05 Support what 3ABN is doing here. 52:07 And our viewers at 3ABN and Vast 52:11 I would like you to also con- sider supporting this ministry. 52:15 Thank you Danny. It's been a great pleasure to work with you. 52:18 Thank you so much. These are incredible people. 52:19 They volunteered for a long time literally going all across 52:23 Australia letting the people know 15, 18 years ago 52:26 about 3ABN. They worked so hard we finally 52:29 said: "We should hire them... see if they're available. " 52:32 And now they've built a fabulous production center 52:34 there. It's amazing what God has wrought 52:37 through these two people. And I'm so thankful 52:39 that you all are a part of the 3ABN family. 52:42 Quickly I'd just like to say something. 52:44 I want to invite everybody here 52:47 if you can pay for the airfare come to our homecoming 52:50 in Australia... and everybody who's watching. 52:53 We don't care where you're from... come! 52:55 Because Danny's going to be there. I heard two "Amens. " 53:00 All right, we're looking forward to it. 53:02 Rosemary, you're going to be singing for us. 53:03 What are you singing? Who Am I? 53:05 Oh! Great... thank you. 53:22 When I think of how He came 53:26 so far from glory 53:31 Came and dwelt among the lowly 53:37 such as I. 53:42 To suffer shame and such disgrace... 53:48 on Mount Calvary take my place. 53:54 Then I ask myself the question: 53:59 "Who am I? " 54:03 Who am I 54:07 that a King would bleed and die for? 54:14 Who am I 54:17 that He would pray: 54:20 "Not My will... Thine, Lord? " 54:24 The answer I may never know 54:30 why He ever loved me so 54:36 to an old rugged cross 54:39 He would go... who am I? 54:46 When I'm reminded of His words 54:51 "I'll leave you never. 54:57 Just be true... 55:00 I'll give to you 55:02 life forever. " 55:07 I know there's nothing I could have done 55:13 to deserve God's only Son 55:18 to fight my battles till they're done... 55:24 who am I? 55:29 Who am I 55:33 that a King would bleed and die for? 55:39 Who am I that He would pray: 55:45 "Not My will... Thine, Lord? " 55:49 The answer I may never know 55:55 why He ever loved me so 56:01 to an old rugged cross 56:04 He would go... who am I? 56:11 To an old rugged cross He would go... 56:17 who am I? 56:26 Amen! Thank you Rosemary. 56:29 I just wanted you to know that that was an American song 56:33 by the way. I know. 56:35 Written by an American - Rusty Goodman - just so you'll know. 56:37 He just wanted to hug my neck. 56:39 That's what it was... that's what it was! 56:41 You been havin' a good time so far? Amen! 56:44 We're going to take a break in about 45 seconds 56:47 but I wanted to let you know 56:48 coming up is Elder John Bradshaw. 56:50 Incredible man of God. 56:52 He's actually going to be doing two sermons. 56:55 Bro. Rafferty could not be here. 56:56 We want to pray for him. He's having a lot of pain 56:59 and back problems I think. I'm not sure what the details. 57:02 But Bro. Bradshaw said: "Just tell me what you need 57:05 us to do. " So Shelley called him; 57:07 he said: "We'll do 2 sermons; we'll go back-to-back. " 57:10 And so again, for those of you just joining us 57:13 be sure... I always say: "Call your friends, your enemies... 57:16 everybody. Tell them to tune in to 3ABN. " 57:19 Because Spring Camp Meeting is here and now 57:22 and it's going to be going all through this evening, 57:25 tomorrow, through tomorrow night to Friday, Sabbath. 57:28 We're going to have a wonderful time in the Lord. 57:30 Come and join us. Amen! |
