00:10 mending broken people. 00:15 I want to spend my life 00:21 removing pain. 00:26 Lord, let my words 00:31 heal a heart that hurts. 00:36 I want to spend my life 00:42 mending broken people... 00:47 I want to spend my life 00:52 mending broken people. 01:07 Greetings to my 3ABN family 01:10 and welcome to another 3ABN Today program. 01:14 Glad that you're with us. 01:16 I'm your host. My name is Ricky Carter 01:18 and I'm excited about today's program. 01:20 I think you'll be really blessed by it. 01:24 I've got the privilege 01:25 of interviewing my friend and colleague - 01:30 colleague for over the last 10 years I believe. 01:33 And it's been great to get to know him. 01:36 As a matter of fact, I want to introduce you to him 01:38 right now: Bro. Art... Art Humphrey. 01:41 Welcome to the program, Brother. 01:43 Thank you for inviting me. 01:44 Glad to have you here. I'm looking forward to 01:47 our program today, what we're going to be talking about. 01:50 You know, one of the... the program title 01:55 I thought was really interesting. 01:57 It's Making Truth-Filled Movies. 02:02 I'm really interested in what you're going to be sharing 02:04 with us today about that. And I know our viewers at home 02:08 are going to be interested and are going to be excited 02:10 about hearing this as well. 02:12 But Bro. Art, before we actually get into the program 02:16 and interview and talking with you more 02:18 we've got a special music that I want to share with our 02:21 viewers. Today our special music is by Bro. Kendol Bacchus, 02:28 and he's going to be sharing Deep River. 05:31 Amen! Thank you, Bro. Bacchus 05:35 for using your talents for the Lord 05:38 and playing the piano like that. 05:39 That was beautiful. I was very blessed by that. 05:41 Wasn't that a blessing, Bro. Art? Wonderful! 05:44 Amen! Amen! 05:46 Well, Bro. Art, now I know that you are the film director 05:51 for 3AM Films. 05:54 And the ministry that you're with 05:57 is Turn To Jesus Ministry. 06:01 And what I'd like to find out is, for our viewers at home 06:05 who don't know much about you, I want you to share 06:09 a little bit about who you are 06:11 and where you're from 06:14 and what your ministry's all about. 06:17 Just take this time to share a little bit with us, please. 06:21 Well there's not many people making films in the SDA church. 06:25 There's a few of us. 06:27 And I started actually back in the 5th grade 06:30 believe it or not 06:32 and I'm 73 years old. 06:35 I didn't start making films... It was a journey because 06:38 I was interested in what they were doing in Hollywood. 06:42 Hmm. And my cousin said to me: 06:44 "They're inside the TV! " 06:48 So I knew that wasn't right 06:51 because I had seen a television empty 06:54 without any tubes in it or anything 06:56 and I had seen kids go inside there and try to make 07:00 TV programs and I knew that didn't work. 07:04 So I went to prove him wrong. 07:06 So you know I started back in the 5th grade. 07:08 The encyclopedia was loaded with what was going on 07:12 in the filmmaking of the day. 07:14 And so I immersed myself in that and I learned everything 07:18 I could, read everything I could. 07:20 And that's my history. 07:23 And so I knew what my life's work would be 07:25 and I worked in television and films for about 55 years. 07:29 Oh wow, wow. Amen; amen. 07:32 So you're working in film 07:34 creating some... I guess some documentaries 07:39 or some? What are you using the films for now? 07:43 Well actually, I worked in TV news. 07:45 That actually was a little bit of training 07:50 but my degree is in film pro- duction & television production. 07:55 OK. So yes... So I worked in film 07:57 in TV news when they were shooting film. 08:01 And we had some interesting times. In those days 08:04 we used to send film to New York by counter to counter. 08:09 In other words we'd process the film, 08:11 edit it, and we'd put it in a bag 08:14 and send it United Airlines from one counter to the New York 08:18 counter at the airport in New York. 08:20 So this was like a long time ago back in the what? 08:23 Ooh! My goodness... 70's, you know. So... 08:29 Film really is a medium I think that God gave to us - 08:33 amen - because it works... the way that it works 08:37 is we blink and we can remember an image. Um-hmm. 08:42 You know if you see someone's face in a split second 08:45 you can remember. 08:46 And film is frame after frame after frame after frame 08:50 after frame, but they're so fast 08:53 you can remember it, and the brain puts it all together 08:57 in a sequence and you can understand 09:00 a story that's presented in that format. 09:03 Amen! Amen. 09:04 You know, Brother... I totally agree with you 09:07 when you said that you believe God-made films. 09:10 You know I think that God used media... 09:14 He's created media to help in finishing the work. 09:18 It's a great way that the message can be sent 09:21 around the world with His truth. 09:25 And just like anything else that the Lord has created 09:28 Satan has hijacked it and messed it up. Um-hmm. 09:32 Now since God has made this medium to share this message 09:39 tell me: do you have a project that? 09:43 As a matter of fact, I KNOW that you have a project 09:45 that you've worked on. Matter of fact, I worked 09:47 on it with you in sharing truth and that project is 09:52 The Crowning Act. 09:54 So tell our viewers at home a little bit about this project. 09:57 OK. So I did a study on the image to the beast. 10:00 And we can find information about image to the beast 10:03 in Revelation though it's not real definitive what that is. 10:08 But as Adventists, we know that the image to the beast 10:12 is the melting together of the church and the state. 10:17 Um-hmm. Or the church having control 10:20 over the state. So we know that that's going to happen. 10:24 And so I learned that once the image to the beast was 10:27 completely formed then would be the time for the 10:31 marvelous workings of Satan. 10:33 And that we can find... I think an educated guess 10:37 would tell me that maybe that's when the false Christ 10:40 may appear. So that would be Satan. 10:44 Any false Christ that appears would be either Satan himself 10:48 or one of his helpers. Um-hmm. 10:53 So then we came up with the idea for The Crowning Act. OK. 10:56 And in this book The Great Controversy 10:58 it talks about the crowning act of Satan. 11:01 And so that would be... That's the title that we came up 11:06 with for the film: The Crowning Act. Amen. 11:09 And I guess you probably have a sample 11:14 that maybe you can show us about this? 11:16 Or want to tell us a little bit more about this movie? 11:19 Yes, I did bring a trailer that's on YouTube. 11:24 And the trailer is I guess a minute sixteen seconds... 11:28 something like that. It gives you an idea 11:30 because basically the film is about the second coming 11:34 of Christ. There's so much misinformation 11:37 about the second coming of Christ. 11:39 There's this theory and that theory. 11:42 People disappearing on an airplane. 11:45 All sorts of ideas about the second coming of Christ. 11:48 But the Bible gives the one way that Christ is going to return. 11:52 Amen. And I thought it would be important that people know that. 11:55 And we framed it with the idea 11:59 of showing the false appearing of Christ 12:01 so the people will know that that's on the horizon. 12:04 That's going to happen before He comes back. 12:06 Amen... amen. And so... And at the same time 12:09 we're able to teach the truth about the 2nd coming of Christ. 12:12 Amen. I want to take a look at that. 12:15 Why don't we take a look at that video now? 12:38 Happy Birthday! Oh wow! 12:41 Thank you. What exactly did you see this morning? 12:44 I saw a bright light... a dazzling light. 12:49 My heart was touched. 12:51 It was wonderful! I won't ever forget it. 12:54 I don't think that's Jesus. 12:56 I saw him with my own eyes... it has to be Jesus. 12:59 Then maybe this time you cannot rely on your eyes. 13:03 We need to rely on God's Word. 13:05 I wonder if there's any other stations out there talking about 13:08 God's Word and the Bible truth? 13:14 So who is this bright shining being 13:18 that's walking around in Israel? 13:20 Christ has come... He's come to the earth! 13:36 Amen! That's powerful! 13:38 Well, Bro. Art, the next question 13:41 is: "How can our viewers at home watch this presentation. " 13:45 Well, it resides actually on: 13:49 And there's other resources 13:51 on that website also. 13:53 But you can view it there 13:55 or you can go to my YouTube channel 13:57 which is Art Humphrey. Just search YouTube 14:00 for Art Humphrey and then you'll find my channel. 14:02 Amen; amen; thank you; thank you. 14:05 All right. So you've created this movie, 14:08 this video that we can watch online. 14:11 Tell me, are there any other Biblical truths films 14:15 that you've created? Or if there are any, 14:18 how can our viewers watch those? 14:20 Before we do that, I have to give credit where credit is due. 14:24 We worked with White Horse Media 14:26 on this film. On The Crowning Act? Yes. 14:29 On The Crowning Act Steve Wohlberg actually was 14:33 an executive producer and we worked with his ministry 14:36 to create that film. Amen. And they were very very instrumental 14:39 in getting it done. Amen. 14:42 So I thank them for that because it really would not have 14:45 happened you know with just me working on it. Amen. 14:48 So yep... So you asked me? 14:52 Are there any other Biblical truth movies 14:54 that you've created that our viewers can watch? 14:56 And if so, where could they watch it? 14:58 OK. So... there was a very famous TV series 15:02 that was on, and I didn't have anything to do 15:05 so I thought: "OK, I'll go and sign up and be 15:07 a background actor. " 15:10 I'm not going to mention the TV series 15:12 but they were filming in Dallas. 15:14 And so I was in 5 episodes. 15:17 And I watched what they were doing. With my whole background 15:21 in film and television I watched what they were doing 15:23 and I thought: "I can make films" - 15:27 um-hmm - "you know. " 15:29 So I started to work one. The first one we did 15:34 was Scared to Death... and that's on the YouTube channel. 15:38 OK. That is two boys that go camping together 15:40 and one boy is afraid of his shadow. 15:43 And the other boy knows what the Bible says 15:45 about death, and he teaches him over the camping trip 15:49 what the Bible teaches about death. OK... Amen. 15:52 And then we did one called The Quest. OK. 15:55 And I have a clip about that one. 15:57 Let's show the clip first and then I'll talk 16:00 in detail about it. All right. 16:01 Yes. Why don't we go and see that clip right now? 16:19 Gonna call Patrick... see what he's able to find. 16:40 Hello. Hey Patrick, what's goin' on? 16:43 Hey, what's up? Not much. 16:44 Hey, I'm calling you to see if you found that information. 16:47 Yeah, I did actually, but 16:49 I'm also creating some stuff. 16:51 Oh yeah... well, I guess you heard. 16:53 Heard about what? Well, the archive is closing 16:57 and just when I was trying to get some information... What? 17:00 If you wait a minute, I can get you inside the library 17:05 and the archive. Just a minute Patrick. 17:10 What? I can get you inside the library and the archive. 17:15 I know the code. Stop playing. 17:18 Hey Patrick, meet us at the park bench in two minutes, OK? 17:21 All right. See you in a bit. 17:28 Can you do it or not? 17:30 Well, I work part-time for Dr. McCloud. 17:35 And after working with him for so long 17:37 I'm pretty sure I know the codes by now. 17:40 Why did I just tell you that? Now I'm crazy. 17:43 We're all going to get in trouble... BIG trouble. 17:47 Just gotta find out what's in there. 17:52 Hey Patrick, what's up? Not much. 17:55 Well anyway, for some reason the library archive 17:59 was quickly closed today just when we were about 18:00 to do some research. Do you know what's going on? 18:03 Well, what are we here for? 18:05 Well our dear friend Alex here says he's got the code 18:09 to get into the library into the archive. 18:11 No way man. Unh-uh. 18:13 See... what did I tell you? 18:16 Well, are you guys with me or not? 18:18 I've got to find out what's in there. 18:20 This isn't work for chickens. 18:24 All right. But if we get caught 18:29 buck buck buck buck we get fried. 18:33 Let's go chicken boy. 20:40 Amen! Very interesting clip. 20:43 Well I'm Interested in watching the whole thing 20:47 but Art, can you tell us a little bit more about this? 20:50 OK. The Quest is based on 20:53 something that happened in my wife's life. 20:56 She was given a gift when she was a little girl 20:58 with the Ten Commandments on it. 21:00 And she asked her mother 21:03 "What about? Why do we go to church on Sunday? 21:09 The commandment says the seventh day which is Saturday. " 21:13 Her mother didn't have an answer for her. 21:14 So what happens in this film: 21:17 a group of young people decide that they want to study 21:21 and find out about the Sabbath. 21:23 So the clip that you just saw 21:26 they've taken it so far to find out this information 21:29 and every door has been shut to them. 21:33 Even the archive has been shut suddenly. Hmm. 21:38 So they decide: "OK, we're going to go into the library 21:42 after hours. " And one young man knows how to get in there. 21:45 And they go in there and they search through the archive 21:48 and they find the information about the Sabbath. 21:50 Now the Bible says: "At the time of their ignorance 21:54 God winked at them. " 21:55 So they didn't know they were breaking 21:57 another commandment to find out information about 22:00 another commandment. Right... right... right. 22:01 So God winks at that, you know. 22:04 But truth is so important 22:06 that people that they just don't really know. 22:08 They're going to be anxious and they're going to do anything 22:11 that they can to find out what the truth is. Amen. 22:14 That's what we're illustrating in that clip that you just saw. 22:17 OK... OK. Now is there another film that you've created 22:21 that you can tell us about? 22:22 Let's see here... Oh, The Creation. Yes! 22:25 The Creation. The Creation was released in 2010 22:29 and maybe some of the viewers saw that 22:31 because we came on with Danny Shelton and talked about 22:35 The Creation just before we released it. 22:37 And that film was seen around the world 22:42 because it was on Borders.com; 22:46 it was on Walmart.com; 22:48 it was distributed by Victory Multimedia in California. 22:53 It was distributed by Pacific Press Publishing. 22:58 It was distributed in South Africa by a media company 23:02 in South Africa. And so I thought before I released it 23:06 "Oh, all of these people are going to see it. I wonder 23:10 if the Sabbath is too stern and too strict? 23:15 Maybe I should soften it. " 23:18 Soften it? Yeah. 23:21 You can do all sorts of things in editing. OK. 23:25 So I thought: "Maybe I should soften it 23:27 because it's going to go wide. Maybe somebody's going to 23:31 come after me! " So, no, I didn't have that thought. 23:34 But I thought about it for three weeks and I thought: 23:36 "OK, I need to buy a hard drive and back up everything 23:40 and then I'll get to work on re-editing some of the 23:45 portions that I thought should be softened. " 23:48 So I put my hard drive in 23:50 I click, click, click looked through and went down 23:53 and you know what? What? God did not want me to 23:57 soften that film. Amen... amen. 24:01 He hid from my eyes 24:05 the correct video that I needed to format 24:08 and I formatted the wrong one 24:12 with all of my original camera footage - 24:15 oh wow - and everything. But I had mastered the film. 24:19 OK, man. So I had it mastered 24:22 but everything was blown away and I got the message. 24:26 I got it. "Lord, I GET IT. " 24:29 No softening? No softening. Praise the Lord! 24:31 So after that, I decided: "OK, this is a story 24:36 the Lord gave me so that I can tell other people 24:38 'Do not try to soften God's message - Amen! 24:42 because He will let you know. ' " Amen! 24:45 Well, with that we've got another clip 24:48 about The Creation. Want to show you right now. 24:53 I started off believing 24:54 evolution was the most sensible thing. 24:57 I just assumed it was true. 25:01 We really have to go on faith 25:03 when it comes to where we came from originally. 25:05 I think what God inspired Moses to do 25:08 was write a record that is corrective. 25:12 And under the guiding hand of inspiration 25:14 Moses sat down and wrote us an accurate, 25:17 beautiful, poetic description 25:20 of how the universe began. 25:22 In six days the great work of creation 25:25 had been accomplished 25:27 and God rested on the seventh day 25:30 from all His work which He had made. 25:56 If you can fathom someone taking 26:00 an alphabet - the American alphabet A to Z - 26:06 and having one trillion of each alphabet: 26:10 a trillion of A, a trillion B's... 26:14 and piling up a mountain of alphabets 26:20 like as tall as Mt. Everest of alphabets 26:24 and then placing a bomb 26:27 beneath this large mountain of alphabet 26:30 and blowing up the alphabet 26:32 and they just go blowing up into the sky 26:34 and the alphabets all fall down into the Webster's dictionary 26:38 from A to Z in alphabetical order 26:41 with the description and definition of every word... 26:44 If you can believe something of that nature, 26:47 then you can believe in the Big Bang Theory. 26:50 That's how impossible it is in my mind. 26:59 The Mysteries of the visible universe, 27:01 the wondrous works of Him which is perfect in knowledge. 27:07 God's glory in the heavens. 27:09 The innumerable worlds in their orderly revolutions. 27:13 He balances the clouds. 27:16 The mysteries of light and sound, of day and night, 27:20 all were open to the study of our first parents. 27:25 On every leaf of the forest or stone of the mountains, 27:28 in every shining star in earth and air and sky 27:32 God's name was written. 27:35 The order and harmony of creation 27:38 spoke to them of infinite wisdom and power. 27:41 They were ever discovering some attraction 27:44 that filled their hearts with deeper love 27:47 and called forth fresh expressions of gratitude. 27:50 So long as they remained loyal to the divine law 27:53 their capacity to know, to enjoy, and love 27:58 would continually increase. 28:00 They would be constantly gain- ing new treasures of knowledge, 28:03 discovering fresh springs of happiness, 28:05 and obtaining clearer and yet clearer conceptions 28:09 of the immeasurable unfailing love of God. 28:44 Amen... Amen! 28:47 Well, Brother Art, you shared that you got 28:51 so far we've seen three Bible-based, Biblical truth 28:57 videos, movies, films that you created: 29:00 The Crowning Act, The Quest, 29:03 and The Creation. 29:06 So tell me: do you have any other Biblical truth films 29:11 that you're in the process of creating? 29:14 I'm glad you asked that question. 29:19 Well... you know what? 29:22 I take my cue probably from the news media. 29:28 So recently there was an article 29:31 on CNN. The title of the article is 29:44 I read that article. 29:46 So the essence of this article is that 29:53 people are seeing something they think are their dead 29:57 loved ones coming back and talking to them 30:00 at the foot of the bed or touching them on the shoulder 30:04 or some essence of perfume that they smell 30:09 or something like that. 30:10 And this has happened at 9/11 by the thousands, 30:17 the tsunami in Asia, 30:21 and other instances where there are large disasters. 30:24 So I thought: "OK, this sounds like another film 30:28 because someone had asked me after we finished 30:30 The Crowning Act: "Art, you've gotta do one 30:32 on the state of the dead. " 30:34 Are the dead really dead? 30:36 Because Spiritualism says: "There is no death; 30:41 there are no dead. " 30:43 That's a lie! Amen. 30:44 You know the first lie that Satan told in the Garden of Eden 30:48 "You won't surely die... that's a lie. " 30:53 What is death? Recently I had a procedure done. 30:56 They put me to sleep. It's a dreamless sleep. 30:59 Death is a dreamless sleep. 31:02 I didn't die. They did the procedure; I'm here today. 31:06 Death... Jesus taught death as a sleep. 31:12 Amen. So if you go to I think it's 31:15 Luke chapter 11 is it? 31:16 where Lazarus was resurrected. 31:19 Just read that chapter 31:21 and you will learn about death as a sleep. Amen... amen. 31:25 So you've made a movie about that? Oh yeah. 31:28 So at the beginning of COVID 31:30 the hospitals were terrified of this disease 31:34 so they would not allow people's relatives to come 31:37 and visit them in the hospital. 31:39 So people were dying and they didn't get a chance 31:43 to see their relatives before they died. 31:48 And their relatives were just very upset about this 31:51 so we named the film: I Never Said Goodbye. 31:55 And we have the website INeverSaidGoodbye.net 31:59 OK. And I was in Walmart 32:02 and I saw a friend that had seen The Crowning Act. 32:06 And she said: "Are you doing any more movies? " 32:08 And I said: "Yes, we're doing one on the state of the dead 32:11 and we call it I Never Said Goodbye. 32:14 She said: "Oh, where's my checkbook? " 32:16 Oh wow. She was right in the checkout line 32:19 in Walmart doing her self-checkout 32:21 and she was looking for her checkbook to write me a check 32:24 to help with the film. Wow! Praise God! 32:27 Praise God. So you've created some of it already I presume. 32:31 Yes. And we have a clip of that, right? Vb Yes, we do. 32:34 Why don't we take a look at that right now? 32:52 I never said goodbye. 33:04 Every morning he would eat breakfast with us, and he would 33:07 sit right here. 33:11 My daddy would want us to keep on living. 33:17 Oh, oh... you're going to school today 33:23 and I'm going to work. 33:27 Besides he's watching over us. 33:30 Recently another major news network ran a story 33:33 about ADCs. It stands for 33:35 after death communications. 33:38 No way! Yeah, really. 33:40 Listen to this: when someone dies it turns out 33:43 that it may not be the end after all. 33:45 Hmm. What do you mean it may not be the end? 33:48 Well, when a person loses a loved one 33:50 that deceased friend or family member 33:52 could come back and visit them 33:54 and thus an after death communication occurs. 33:58 I just don't think people actually come back. 34:02 I know this sounds crazy 34:03 but my friend's grandmother passed away 34:06 a couple of months ago and just recently 34:10 she came back because she really believes 34:14 that it was her grandma. 34:16 If this is true, I want to see it for myself. 34:21 You would? Well there's a name for these communications. 34:24 It's called spiritualism. Spiritualism? Huh! 34:28 Think that has anything to do with... I don't know... 34:32 evil spirits? Laughter. 34:35 Evil spirits or not, it would appear that the evidence 34:39 points to the fact that ADCs are indeed plentiful and real. 34:54 Uh! David? 35:07 David? 35:10 But the past few days 35:12 she's actually been kind of happy. 35:14 She's been seeing my dad. 35:20 What? 35:25 Tonight's Bible study is going to be about death. 35:28 Are the dead really dead? 35:32 Awesome. Thanks, Alex. 35:34 Tonight we're going to look thru several texts from the Bible 35:36 and then line upon line, precept upon precept, 35:39 we will dismantle and look behind 35:41 this dark curtain that they call death. 35:45 So before we begin I just want to show you guys 35:47 a quick video that my friend Dr. Eric Walsh sent me. 35:50 One of the most difficult things about being a physician 35:53 is having to deal with the topic of death. 35:56 Working in intensive care units 35:58 and having people pass away 36:00 one of the most difficult questions we get from family 36:03 members is: "Am I going to see my loved one again? " 36:05 We know that in Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 5 and 6 36:09 it says that: "The living know they shall die 36:11 but the dead don't know anything. " 36:13 This is reiterated 36:14 in what we find in medical science. 36:17 Death really is the final chapter. 36:21 Tonight... and I promise when you leave here 36:25 you will have the answers directly from God's Word 36:27 to three very important questions. 36:29 1. Are the dead really dead? 36:32 2. What about a resurrection? 36:35 And 3. Who and what are ghosts? 36:39 May his family be comforted 36:42 in knowing that he is now watching over them. 36:46 Amen. 36:56 Wow! Wow! 36:58 Bro. Art, this is a heavy topic and I'm glad 37:01 that you are getting a movie out 37:05 to the whole world so they can see this 37:07 and know the truth about what happens when you die. 37:10 This is so needed now. 37:12 So is there any more you can tell us about this film? 37:16 Well, what you just saw 37:18 basically is a small handful of people that got together 37:24 to make the trailers so that we could raise money 37:27 for the film. Hmm. 37:29 Films are not generally made that way. 37:31 And of course, my film was made that way because I don't have 37:34 a lot of money for 300 people on a crew. 37:37 You know. So we got together 37:42 and we said: "We need something for people to see 37:44 so maybe we can go on 3ABN. " 37:47 I had no idea I'd be sitting here. 37:49 You know? That was like: "What? Go to 3ABN? " 37:53 So anyway... 37:55 God arranged that. 37:57 So yeah... 38:01 So as we work towards making this film 38:04 we get ideas. The script is not even complete yet 38:09 though we are going to make this film. 38:11 We're going to raise the money & we're going to make the film. 38:13 God has opened the way all the way 38:16 for us to do this project. Amen. 38:18 So you share this with us - these different topics - 38:24 on the movie that you're creating. 38:27 But what's the drive? What's causing you 38:32 to make these Biblical truth films? 38:37 OK... truth has never been popular 38:41 and never will be popular. Um-hmm. 38:43 These films do not make money. 38:46 I don't make money from these films. 38:48 As a matter of fact, when we raise the money 38:50 that we want to make this film 38:53 most of it is going to pay for this, for that. 38:56 Travel and for a grip truck. I need a grip truck 39:00 with lights in it and also for riggings. 39:03 A dolly and all that. 39:05 Two grips that we're going to have to pay for. 39:06 Three, four grips. 39:08 And also my director of photography is going to fly in 39:14 from California for a five-day shoot. 39:16 We need a location shoot for the funeral 39:20 with 30 or so people there as participant background actors 39:26 in a live funeral situation you know. 39:29 Casket... lowering device... limousines. 39:34 All of that stuff we have to pay for 39:36 to make it realistic so that the people watching this 39:40 will understand that this issue is serious enough 39:46 for us to make a film about it 39:48 and go through all of this trouble to tell the story. 39:52 So what happens actually: Laura, our character, 39:55 sees the morning show every morning and she gets 39:58 drawn into spiritualism. 40:02 As you notice, her daughter left her lunch there 40:05 and she had to rush out to catch up with her 40:08 to give her lunch bag to her. 40:10 So she did not hear the part about spiritualism 40:14 and she missed the part about evil spirits. 40:17 Hmm. So she came back in on the tail end 40:22 and turns the TV off you know, so... 40:25 She gets drawn into it because she loves her husband 40:28 so much - she misses him so much - 40:30 that she wants to see him again. 40:32 So immediately Satan starts in appearing as her husband. 40:37 Umm-hmm. 40:39 Yeah, I can see how that would be... 40:40 it's really important that our viewers or even our 40:44 our viewers' family members would need to see this. 40:49 Need to know this truth. 40:51 Which reminds me: so besides watching 40:57 these films, what else can our viewers... 41:02 what can they do with them? 41:04 Is there a way that they can share them perhaps? 41:07 Well yes, these are sharing films 41:09 and they're going to be free of charge on YouTube 41:12 or they might like for instance 41:14 I Never Said Goodbye will reside on YouTube - um-hmm - 41:17 but we'll have a website INeverSaidGoodbye.net 41:20 And so you can go there; 41:22 share the link 41:25 with your friends. 41:26 You know, they'll share it. 41:28 It's almost like it's going to 41:30 go viral if people are that interested in the topic. 41:33 And you know what? Something 41:35 happened recently with the United States Congress 41:38 and with the Senate. I'm not sure quite what happened 41:43 but they had the first ever hearing on UFOs. 41:47 And I know from studying the Bible 41:50 that UFOs and spiritualism is almost... it's the same thing. 41:56 Yes, yes. Why don't the aliens that are appearing in these 42:00 spaceships and taking people on board 42:02 and dissecting them and then dropping them off 42:05 why don't they to Washington, D.C., and say 42:07 "Take me to your leader? " Why don't they do that? 42:10 Um-hmm. Why are they in secret? 42:12 Why are they doing everything in secret? 42:14 I'll tell you the reason why. 42:15 Because it's Satan and his imps or his helpers doing this. 42:21 And if he goes in the public 42:23 somebody will be there that will pull the wool off. 42:27 "In Jesus' name get behind me! " Poof... they're gone. 42:30 That will expose them. 42:33 So that's why he's doing it in secret I believe anyway. 42:36 That's my opinion. Yes... yes. 42:39 Well I'm sure that there are some viewers at home who are... 42:42 who are watching today's program 42:44 and they're going to want to know is there any way they can 42:50 either partner with you or help with this ministry. 42:54 What can you share with them based on that? 42:59 Well it's going to take a lot of people to raise $50,000. 43:02 And that's chunk change. They spend millions 43:06 on Hollywood movies, you know. 43:08 Can we just raise $50,000 for a film that tells the truth 43:14 about these ADCs: after death communications? 43:18 I think we can. With a whole lot of people 43:20 pooling their money together we can raise $50,000 easily. 43:24 Most of that money is going to be used for 43:27 promoting the film on the Internet - 43:31 hmm - and paying for the website 43:34 and those kinds of things. Because the website 43:36 or the Internet has gotten to the place now 43:39 that if you want people to see your things that you're doing 43:43 you have to advertise. 43:45 Right. That's the way the Internet works right now. 43:47 Right, right. It used to be you just put it out there 43:50 and organically people would just click on it 43:53 and it would just spread like that. 43:55 But that's not the case anymore. 43:57 Right, right. So you need some of these 43:59 viewers at home to participate with you 44:02 in sharing it and financially. 44:06 And how about any... do you need any editors or any 44:09 grips or any crew to work with you on a project like this? 44:15 That's a thought. 44:17 Yeah. I think we're covered in that area. OK, OK. 44:21 But if anybody wants to contact me 44:24 I'll talk to them about it. Amen... amen. 44:26 But we're on a steady track 44:30 to work on the film and finish it. It says 44:34 coming the summer of 2022. 44:36 I think we might miss that 44:38 but we're going to get the film out anyway. 44:39 Maybe it's the Fall, but we're going to do the film anyway. 44:43 So I had some things to happen in my computer 44:47 that hindered me from doing some of the things 44:50 that I wanted to bring on this program. 44:52 But I know who's behind that, too. 44:55 Um-hmm. So it's OK... we're going to make the film anyway. 44:59 Right, right, yeah. 45:00 I was doing Scared to Death and I called my friend. 45:06 I said: "Let's go out there and shoot the title sequence. " 45:09 It was 7 o'clock in the morning; the sun was coming up. 45:12 It was dark when I called him. 45:14 He says: "I can't go. " 45:15 So I went out by myself into the cemetery... 45:18 And you can see this one on my YouTube channel. 45:20 Scared to Death... that's the title of the film. 45:22 I went out there by myself with my camera. 45:25 And that's another film Satan did not want me to make. 45:29 That's OK... I'm working for God. Amen! 45:32 These films are God's message and I WILL DO THEM 45:37 with God's help. Amen. 45:39 So I'm putting the tripod away in the trunk 45:42 of the car and there's nobody around. 45:45 I shot the film that I needed to get. 45:48 All of a sudden behind me - 45:51 I'm talking about right behind me right here - 45:55 I hear this "grrrr" like a dog is going to rip me 45:59 to shreds, you know. 46:02 I turn around and I turn around that way 46:04 and I go around the car and there's nothing. Hmm. 46:08 So I said: "OK... that's OK. I'm makin' this film anyway. " 46:12 So if we are determined and God gives us the strength 46:18 to do His work and His will we will prevail. 46:22 So Scared to Death was released. 46:26 It was seen everywhere. It helped kids understand 46:29 the state of the dead. So the same thing will happen 46:32 with I Never Said Goodbye. 46:33 Amen. We'll make that film. Amen; amen. 46:37 Wow, Bro. Art! 46:39 I can see that the Lord is using you 46:43 to finish the work. 46:46 You can look at it as 46:49 you have the privilege 46:51 of working in the vineyard. 46:55 Yes. You know what? 46:57 Tell me. It just brought another thought to my mind. 47:00 OK. So... we do all of these great things. 47:03 We have 3ABN; we have wonderful things that we're doing 47:07 on a large scale... you know we're making movies and all that 47:10 that gets a lot of attention 47:11 but you know what? God wants us to work 47:13 on an individual basis with people also. 47:16 So you know what? I think I mentioned this earlier. 47:19 But this is what I do. 47:21 My storylines are in this book The Great Controversy. 47:25 And if you have this book on your shelf, 47:27 it's time to take it down and read it. 47:30 And I brought this one for you so that you can... 47:32 I'm going to leave it in Southern Illinois 47:34 and you can give it to your neighbor or whatever. 47:36 Yeah. Just allow me to go across 47:39 and hand it over to you. Great! Thank you. 47:41 Thank you so much! 47:43 This is a great book: The Great Controversy. 47:45 I do have one of these at home; I've passed them out before. 47:49 And I encourage you at home to do the same thing as well. 47:53 We need to get this truth-filled literature out 47:56 to the masses. And one of the ways 47:59 that we can do that: not just only handing out 48:02 literature but we can also share 48:05 these movies like what Bro. Art is telling us about. 48:10 And it's a privilege to be a part 48:14 of finishing the work. This is vineyard work. 48:17 And we have an opportunity 48:20 to be able to share this with the world. 48:22 Thank you so much, Bro. Art, for using your talent 48:25 for the Lord the way that you're doing it now. 48:28 You know, I've thought about how 48:31 in my life the Lord has given me a talent 48:35 of creating graphics and motion graphics 48:40 and video editing and music. 48:43 And I've been able to take those talents 48:48 and now be able to use it for the Lord. 48:50 And what a blessing it is 48:53 to be able to be used by the Lord 48:55 and to take these talents and then further His message 48:59 to the world. We are living in the closing hours 49:03 of earth's history. And to think that He can use us 49:06 like that. Man... that's like a two-hander basically. 49:10 That's a two-hander of praise the Lord! 49:12 "Use me to be a part of this work. " 49:15 You know, I want to encourage you at home 49:17 to do the same thing. 49:18 What talents do you have 49:21 that you can use for the Lord? 49:24 Do you have a gift of talking? 49:27 Wow! There's some people that have the gift of talking 49:30 and sharing, and they can meet... 49:33 They never have a stranger. They can see somebody 49:38 in the grocery store and they can strike up a conversation 49:41 with them. Or they're at the gas station; 49:44 can start a conversation with them... their neighbor. 49:48 And you can share with them 49:50 using that talent the message that Christ has given you 49:56 that He's coming again soon. 49:59 Maybe you have the gift of cooking. 50:03 Well you can use that talent 50:05 preparing a wholesome meal 50:08 for your neighbor or someone who's sick 50:11 and be able to bless them with that. 50:14 Maybe you have a talent for singing. 50:17 You've got talent for singing or playing an instrument. 50:20 Use your talent for the Lord. 50:23 You know we don't have much time left 50:27 before the Lord is going to break through the clouds 50:30 and come and take us to heaven. Do you want to be there? 50:33 I know I want to be there. 50:35 And I don't want to be in a situation 50:39 where I have this gift 50:42 and I'm not using it for the Lord. 50:44 I want to encourage you at home to do that. 50:47 Use you talent; use your gift for the Lord. 50:51 He's asking. He's pleading with you to do that. 50:56 Bro. Art, we only have a few more minutes 50:59 before I want to share with those who are watching 51:04 how they can contact you. 51:06 And what I want to just emphasize 51:10 is thank you for using your gift 51:15 and your talent for Him. 51:17 And I want to encourage you to continue to do that. 51:22 Continue to use your talents for the Lord. 51:24 Let's not use it for our own glorification, 51:27 for someone else's glorification. Let's use it 51:30 to solely encourage others 51:36 about Christ's soon coming. 51:39 And for you at home, if you want to know how 51:42 you can get in touch with Bro. Art 51:44 and how you can be a part of this ministry, how you can share 51:49 check out the information on your screen now. |
