GWEN SHAMBLIN: Welcome everybody to the You Can Overcome TV Show! This is another day
that we are alive. Can you believe that? That God gave us life and that we are here, our
hearts beating. And that we have a chance to go back and appreciate God like we should.
And so we are going to do it. This show is really going to be an exciting day and you
need to make sure you are tuned in and you are listening. And if not you get the replay
because we have got information that is going to be very helpful in us getting everything
together and all of our focus up to God in 2012. And I praise God for you. I praise God
for you more every day. And I want to let you know that we have a
wonderful staff here. That we have over one hundred and fifty new members added to the
Facebook group just this week in the last seven days! Hello and greetings to all of
you that have just joined! And a lot of you are old friends of mine so hello and greetings
and welcome back to a place that is going to get you to the point where you have got
just God on your mind, His wishes and because of that you are blessed! And you will overcome.
You will get all your weight off. It is going to help you with many, many things!
I want to go with, there are so many, another like fourteen pages of positive responses,
but we are always picking out one or two. This is Linda from Minnesota and she says:
�I too was in Weigh Down in the late nineties, and I lost all my weight and coordinated several
classes at my church. I do not really know what happened to me, but I struggled after
the birth of my fifth child and never lost the weight. I have gained forty pounds and
tried some diets and exercise but I truly did not believe in them because I knew Weigh
Down was the right way. Since then I have taken a few classes but never really changed
my heart. I am now ready to wait for hunger and turn my love and devotion back to God.
And I have lost five pounds this week and I am not looking back!�
Linda, thank you for joining all the saints that are on the journey away from Egypt into
the Promised Land. And welcome, welcome, welcome, I cannot wait to see you. And I pray that
those five pounds keep coming and coming and coming.
Also I have got April from Missouri, and:
�It has been seven days since I began Weigh Down again and I must share with you what
God has already done.�
Okay get your pencils out because I want you to write this down. It says:
�First of all, I am no longer focused on food! Praise God! Who hooo!!� she says.
�Second, I am able to leave food on my plate, yea!! And even when I serve myself smaller
portions.� Okay, �Third, I feel so free, no longer counting calories, exercising for
hours, making meal plans, making separate meals for me and my family, etc. Fourth, I
am down four pounds at my last weigh in on Sunday, yea! Fifth, I have a bag of M&M�s
I bought on Saturday and I still have over half a bag left!�
There you go! Your focus is different. You are free!
�Six, I have even noticed my husband eating less food and I am able to share these principles
with my son. What could be better than that? Second, I have found this community of Weigh
Downers who are supporting and encouraging me, something I did not have the first time
around.�
And that is why we know it is going to work.
�Finally� She says �and most importantly, I feel so close to God, and because I am focusing
on Him more than food!�
Amen! That is what these classes are doing. That is what Truthstream is doing. That is
what this TV show is about. That is what God has this ministry about, Weigh Down Ministries.
And so people are also reporting in there that they are off drugs. I mean there are
several of those, which Weigh Down has always it has been almost the second category of
people being able to get off the medications. But also Prozac and all of that, through obviously
coming down should be something that is done in increments for some people. Some people
can go cold turkey, but your doctor knows. Then there is people are happier focusing
upward and a lot more happiness. People saying they are more focused, healthier.
And then the number one thing, I can tell by reading this and this is what I like, is
that everybody is more encouraged and everybody has more hope. They are not using the word
hope, but I can tell you right now that that Facebook page along with this TV show and
all these classes going together, God is doing something absolutely amazing! That He is moving
hundreds of people to come back that now are in better shape, because you know what you
are more humble. You know now not to play around with what God has told you to do. And
you are more focused in on getting it exactly right.
So I am excited about today and I want to let you know that our co-host today is our
Candace Anger. And so everybody welcome Candace on the show, yea, yea, yea! I am just glad
you are here! I know you have got a lot more information, so.
CANDACE ANGER: Oh yea, this is like we have so much going on it is so exciting.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Oh, okay well have a seat. CANDACE ANGER: Okay
CANDACE ANGER: Yes ma�am I do. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Okay, and what have you got
on your, what have you got cooking? CANDACE ANGER: Let�s see there is a couple
of things, first, well first our biggest announcement of course, and I know probably most of you
out there know watching, but if you do not we are doing a Facebook class. We have thirty
three hundred members on the Weigh Down Facebook page and we are all going to do a class together,
so! GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yes, okay this is the biggest
news for today. CANDACE ANGER: Yes, and you can get involved.
It is so easy to get involved. And you know, I was just thinking as I was sitting out there
just waiting to come in, you know when I have lunch you know with you, it is contagious.
I see how Gwen eats, or I go out to lunch with another saint. And they are losing weight.
They are putting it into practice and you that is what that is going to feel like on
Facebook. You are going to be so encouraged. It is going to be so contagious. When you
see someone else going down eight pounds in one week, five pounds in another week, you
know doing this you are going to do it. And everybody and I think I saw you wrote something
yesterday that we are all going to do this together. We are all going to lose weight
all of us lose the weight. And on the last show you said you have got to have the basics
under your belt, you have got to have the basics. Just do the basics. Do the basics.
Do the basics until it is just like breathing you know.
And so even if you have done the class before I would say just jump in there because we
are going to have the most incredible fellowship. Your daughter Elizabeth, she is going to be
hosting it. She is going to coordinating it. And then there are going to be other trained
counselors too that are going to be doing it. So you have the best of the best coordinators.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Oh yes! CANDACE ANGER: I think you are going to, you
know Gwen may jump in there on the live time every once in a while.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Oh I am definitely going to be there. I am definitely going to be there.
And just I want to say, let me explain. Why we are, why this is from God. This is not
this is not from me okay. I am here to tell you that I feel like God, and that is why
we are basically doing the class for free and you are paying for your supplies. But
we are the price is down to� CANDACE ANGER: $39.99 I believe.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yea CANDACE ANGER: $39.99 so, I know you know
we had it up there for $99.00 but Gwen is like just three, just cover the cost of materials
which� GWEN SHAMBLIN: And shipping and handling.
CANDACE ANGER: And shipping it all out yea. GWEN SHAMBLIN: But if the people that can
afford more then can help you know send more in.
CANDACE ANGER: The next person. GWEN SHAMBLIN: It will help you know those
you know that need it. CANDACE ANGER: There are a lot of people that
need scholarships so if you do yours and then you can add another person on there that would
be fantastic, so. GWEN SHAMBLIN: So the whole goal is - is that
the whole three thousand you know two hundred group or whatever, you know it is growing
every week. We all go on the same path together. We all get it together. And we are going to
go out whole heartedly this time. It is going to be different because people coming back
in from the nineties. There is new people, but this time we are going to be completely
involved in getting everything right for God. And you know what? There is going to be some
momentum there knowing that there is that many people that are marching to Zion and
they are going all the way. And so God has said you know love me with
all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your mind and all of your strength. And what
we are noticing is that people, got, that the TV show has helped and they got involved
and basically we were, you know people were doing good, but this last week I noticed even
though we had like so many pages of positive, I noticed where there was at least a page
of people that were slipping backwards. Why, why are people slipping backwards? Because
all means all, and so between the TV show, Truthstream radio, there is a radio station
that is going twenty four hours a day, okay and then the Sunday class. Sunday afternoons,
what else can you do better than to get on? Of course it is On Demand.
CANDACE ANGER: Right, yes so the great thing is we know everybody is busy out there. So
you can, when you sign up for it you have access to the videos. So when the class starts
on that first Sunday when we all meet at 3:30 on-line on the Facebook page, on that Weigh
Down Facebook page, we meet on there we get to talk and you get to ask all these questions.
There are so many questions on that thread that I just go ah. It is going to be so fun
because it is going to be so easy to answer these.
And so when you get on there then throughout that first week you are going to have any
time you want to during that whole week to watch your video. So you can watch it three
times in one day if you want to. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yea
CANDACE ANGER: But you watch it anytime you want to and then you write down, then that
week, the theme or the news thread, the theme of that page that week is going to be, you
know week one. So week one is you know is finding true hunger, then that is what all
of our posts are going to reflect. And all of your, and we will just, and then every
Sunday you just keep your list of questions and every Sunday we will meet live on the
Facebook page at 3:30 Central time for one hour, 3:30 to 4:30. And we are going to have
a room full of like the best coordinators you can think of, led by Gwen and her daughter.
And then we will be on there, answering all these questions so you cannot lose, honestly,
except for weight. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Well what, well we are going
to lose weight. No, there are some of the coordinators now. Candace will be there, Regina,
Lisa Peters, Jenni Mendl, Debbie Blair and then Elizabeth, that is my daughter who is
as hyperactive as I am. And she is, she has had a sabbatical in a sense, she has just
had four babies. But she has already got a new born and has lost almost all of her baby
weight back. CANDACE ANGER: She looks amazing. She does
a lot of one-on-one counsel in the church, a lot of one-on-one. And you can tell that
she has sat under your feet. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yea, she is just a clone.
CANDACE ANGER: She has been very blessed. GWEN SHAMBLIN: She is basically just a clone
and so she is also the fastest typist I know so she is, she is a little I guess, I do not
know, the way she flies through the keyboard, but able to answer you back.
CANDACE ANGER: Mm hmm. GWEN SHAMBLIN: So all of that and then but
the experts on there. And we are going to have one on today.
CANDACE ANGER: Yea GWEN SHAMBLIN: But I want to go back to you
know like making sure that you understand the theme of this, is that I have got on my
heart that we are, that God is ready. God is very, very ready for us to you know get
this, you know get it together. And so I praise God for the, just this opportunity and I know
it is from Him. And so you have missed a lot of opportunities over the last so many years.
Do not miss this opportunity and you know, everyone just needs to sign up, get involved,
and I think you are going to see that the responses are going to show that God is with
it. And so this is not me asking I know and God keeps getting me up. Just and I know Candace
you thought of just the whole class and then but everybody, all this brainstorming is coming
out from it and so thank you for that. CANDACE ANGER: Oh please no, it was actually
you know when Michael, your son Michael, when he had that, he just wanted the Facebook page
to be united. And he was like I want them to have the truth. I want them to have the
answers. I want them to have what we have here. And so that was the whole idea from
there. So I just like, I just so I am always thinking about classes, how to get people
to classes. So that is why the class thing came, but it was really Michael�s vision
on that, so. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Well, you have been doing classes
for a long time. You know, it is just� CANDACE ANGER: I love to coordinate them,
but I have to take them too. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Oh yea
CANDACE ANGER: I mean I am always in a class. I am always looking at my class materials.
I cannot� GWEN SHAMBLIN: Well there is something about
all of us getting in there and writing down. I am going to be doing extras on the class.
I am going to be making suggestions of what I feel like needs to be completely a part
of you. I mean this is a lifestyle change so you know there is going to be a lot of
thinking things through of like why did we mess up and what we need to do to change.
And we are not going to be going back just like these responses. So have you got some
responses here? CANDACE ANGER: Yes, I do. Okay they are really
neat. So here is some feedback from the Facebook class since we have announced it. We have
barely even gotten it out there but we have gotten so much response. There are so many
people already signed up. So we have Nichole and she says:
�This is very exciting! I am praying that everybody takes advantage of this. Just think
we will truly be on the same page learning the same thing at the same time and then getting
to encourage one another. I love this idea!�
And then Stacy Yarborough, she is out in California, she said:
�I so badly want to be part of this group. I want to go through this class and be involved
with you all. I am struggling so much and I think that this will be good for me. I am
a college student without a job who has recently gone through the Breakthrough class and now
I just got the Exodus out of Egypt class. You know, please God I want to do this class.
Let me know what I can do?�
So she is already in two classes but she wants to do this one. It is just very sweet. She
is a doll too. She e-mails in I know to you a lot. And also let�s see we have Cindy:
�I am signed up now, thank you Jenni Mendl for setting me up and thank you for your encouragement�.
Katie:
�Rebecca set me up today to help me pray out of a horrible day at work. I too am excited
for this class�.
Tiffany:
�Just signed up, so excellent, thank you for this�
Misty:
�I got signed up today. So excited we will be together on this journey�.
Carol:
�Very excited!�
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Okay you hearing it? CANDACE ANGER: Yea (I cannot understand what
Candace says underneath Gwen) GWEN SHAMBLIN: I mean everybody is excited.
Okay if that kind of energy is hard to come by any more.
CANDACE ANGER: It is. It is hard to get excited about something. And even if you took a class
a while ago, you know I just met someone this morning and you know her husband lost her
job. I mean, life changes you know you get pregnant or your children move out or your
job changes or your finances change and you, it is like you need these principles. And
you need them, that is why we need them all the time because you never know what the day
is going to bring you. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Well is not the whole point
of it all to be connected to God and so if God is using avenues, He has always used different
avenues to get people to Him. But He is definitely doing this. And I think all this fruit, if
you get on the Facebook, and if you do not know how to get on Facebook would you please
call the office, the 1-800 number? And I do not care, even if you are my age you can get
on Facebook and get on there. And there is an App you get where the feed just comes up.
And this feed is like you know on your phone. And it is just coming with all these positive
responses all day long. And you know you may be sitting there tempted to eat and then you
start reading these positive responses like you are not interested in food at all anymore.
And another thing it does is that somebody will get on there, the honesty on Facebook
is probably, my, it is a closed group in the sense that you, it does not have to be your
other Facebook friends you know, or family members see what you are saying. So it is
a closed group. So you can get on there and be completely honest. And that is what is
going on. You will see somebody go positive, positive, positive, and then somebody will
say �Hey, I am really struggling. You know what do I need to do?� And so what happens
is, is that the other people get on� CANDACE ANGER: Jump on there and encourage
them, yea. GWEN SHAMBLIN: And encourage, but if you get
on there and encourage someone it does something to you.
CANDACE ANGER: Mm hmm. You do. GWEN SHAMBLIN: So you know, it is so beautiful!
CANDACE ANGER: It is, it gives it a purpose and I know you have always said it, that you
know, it is so, the technology, I just heard you say this the other night, you were saying
to someone, technology is so exciting because it is so easy to get the truth. It is so easy
to get connected with God and with others that are doing this. And so it is so neat
to have a purpose. I mean Facebook, there are only so many people you can find from
your past I guess, but to actually have a purpose that will make you closer to God,
closer to salvation. GWEN SHAMBLIN: What if 3,200 people all go
in the same direction? CANDACE ANGER: Mm hmm
GWEN SHAMBLIN: And there is going to be people out there that are going to join so it will
keep growing. But to know that there, everybody is going the same way to worship God alone
through Jesus Christ is amazing, so. CANDACE ANGER: Can I mention one more thing
about this Facebook class too. There is going to be many people overseas wanted to take
it. But that chat time at 3:30 is the middle of the night or really late time for you guys.
So Isadora Laury, who is our European Regional Rep, she has agreed to do a chat time, and
what, she is going to use a lot of the stuff you guys will get to read those feeds from
that live chat time that we do on the Sundays. But we are going to get you guys a live chat
time so we will make sure we e-mail out the time for the, you know, for I guess the Europe
and beyond over there where you guys can actually go on a chat too. So even if you are overseas,
because I know we had several people wanting to do it but the chat time was a little bit
late, so. GWEN SHAMBLIN: And Isadora is proficient,
she and her husband both, in five languages, maybe six.
CANDACE ANGER: Yes! So no matter what you speak, they probably speak it too.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: That is right. Yea, which is amazing, what a gift!
CANDACE ANGER: Yes, it is amazing. And they are very excited. She just absolutely, she
has taken this message and run with it. She absolutely loves it. It is just beautiful.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Oh yea, her whole family, Scott, her husband, kids, hello to them.
CANDACE ANGER: Great encouragers. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Oh they are amazing! We love
you Isadora, love you, love you, love you! So anyway, so that is beautiful.
CANDACE ANGER: So that is it. So all you do to get signed up, there is, all you have to
do is there is a, you can go on the front of Weighdown.com, there is a big red ticker
on there that says �Breaking news, Weigh Down Facebook group does�� Just click
on that, it will take you to all the details. And of course, if you already have your workbook
you do not have to worry about that. Just use your same workbook. If you want a clean
one you can get that too. It is just you know, $39.99. So if you are just tuning in, it is
just $39.99, which is just to cover the cost of materials.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: You will eat that much less food the first week, so.
CANDACE ANGER: At least! Yea, that is like five Starbucks.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Then after that for this to keep going because eventually as you see the
direction that we are going everything is getting out there for free. We have got you
know, there is a radio that is free. There is also Truthstream radio that has got more
variety on it but, and it has three radio stations on Truthstream, but you have got
the, you have got, there is a class out there that is on You Tube.
CANDACE ANGER: Uh huh GWEN SHAMBLIN: There is so much, but for us
to continue to do this TV show and all of that you know you have to understand that
that is where we are going, and so when you, even if you go, �Thank you so much for the
free, I have lost seventy pounds now� or whatever, but at some point you know you are
saving money from not eating. CANDACE ANGER: Definitely.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: You need, for God, or God would have you set some of that money aside and
send that into the ministries. And there is a place to donate. And I donate, I donate.
CANDACE ANGER: It is true, we do too. GWEN SHAMBLIN: There are a lot of volunteers
here and we are still donating time and money to the ministry. So that, because we have
got all these prisoners. We have got eight, is it eight prisons?
CANDACE ANGER: Mm hmm, yea. GWEN SHAMBLIN: So we have got eight prisons
that are you know that we are donating materials to and the yea.
CANDACE ANGER: There is so much donation going on I do not think people even know.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Well that is just what it is all about. When you get you go back and give.
CANDACE ANGER: Yes, and I know too, I remember there was a time when Tedd and I, we sat down
and this was several years ago, we just talked about how we had to be honest with ourselves,
we spend money, you know. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yea
CANDACE ANGER: It is like you do spend money on things. You can go to Wal-Mart for one
thing and come out of there with fifty dollars� worth of things. So once we did that, once
we went back and looked, kind of looked inward, it was easier. Then you went, �Oh wow I
could do that instead of this�. And it was just�
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Well, God gives back! CANDACE ANGER: He does.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: I cannot out give Him. CANDACE ANGER: A hundred fold.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yea every time I give something it comes back when I am giving to him.
CANDACE ANGER: Mm hmm. It is beautiful. GWEN SHAMBLIN: So well let�s bring on our
next guest. CANDACE ANGER: Love it.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: And she has been teaching classes by the way, many of you may know her, for
absolutely fourteen years. Did you know that? CANDACE ANGER: I did not know that.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Fourteen years at least five classes a year.
CANDACE ANGER: Oh my goodness GWEN SHAMBLIN: And this is somebody who has
been around, quiet but behind the scenes and a power horse and she is going to be helping
with this new class. So let�s welcome on Debbie Blair. So yea! Yea! Yea! Yea! Yea!
Come in here, and just such a sweet heart. CANDACE ANGER: Love you.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: And thank you thank you for joining us. And okay Miss Debbie, tell us
your story on your own weight loss and your family�s weight loss.
DEBBIE BLAIR: Well I started doing a Weigh Down class in the fall of 1995, and the first
couple of years I lost about eighty pounds. I found myself getting very stuck there. You
know my will was still there and you know I would test the boundaries and then I started
gaining some weight back. So there was a few years of struggle there. But in that first
few years I had an entire life change, and you know it was a complete transformation
from you know two hundred and forty pounds to about one fifty two. So that was big you
know. And then in 2001 I took the, I stopped coordinating
that session and took the Weigh Down Advanced class. And I was just really ready to you
know be done with the suffering that is from your own sin.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yes! DEBBIE SHAMBLIN: And so you know it was, I
called it a, and you called it a Holy fear you know of being�
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Look at some of your before pictures there, it is amazing!
DEBBIE BLAIR: Yea that was when I was twenty six, and then this is when I first started
Weigh Down. So I was about thirty six, thirty seven, something like that.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: And so your total weight loss then is?
DEBBIE BLAIR: A hundred and ten pounds. GWEN SHAMBLIN: A hundred and ten pounds.
DEBBIE BLAIR: Yes Ma�am GWEN SHAMBLIN: And you have kept it off?
DEBBIE BLAIR: Ten years now. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yea, as long as I you know
remember seeing you around. DEBBIE BLAIR: Yes
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Ten year, and then your family, I remember us doing a story for one of the
series, and your whole family together, because you have several gorgeous daughters, have
lost� DEBBIE BLAIR: It is about four hundred pounds
as a family. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Okay, four hundred pounds,
that is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! DEBBIE BLAIR: Yes praise God!
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Right! And okay fourteen years of teaching.
DEBBIE BLAIR: Yes GWEN SHAMBLIN: And why do you, why classes?
Tell us about classes. Why do you feel like it is so important and why do you keep doing
that? DEBBIE BLAIR: Well, you know greed is something
that likes to grow back up. And so personally I think I would stay in class whether I coordinated
or not. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Mm hmm
DEBBIE BLAIR: But I do enjoy meeting the people and I do enjoy encouraging and I feel like
you know all these years watching, one of the greatest gifts God has given you is making
obeying Him and dying to your will and you know giving back fun.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yes! DEBBIE BLAIR: I mean, and you know I do not
know anybody who has taught me to find the fun in it and the hope. You know just reading
Romans 5 the other day, you know, when you use grace the correct way it fills you with
hope. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Mm hmm
DEBBIE BLAIR: You know and so every class it fills you with hope you know to go farther
and to do more. And so and I love the spurring people on and I love flipping it for them
and I love trouble shooting. You know so I love all of those things. So it has not been
a burden at all. GWEN SHAMBLIN: It is not hard.
DEBBIE BLAIR: No! GWEN SHAMBLIN: It is a joy.
DEBBIE BLAIR: A joy, a complete joy. GWEN SHAMBLIN: A complete joy, yes, oh my
goodness. So and I know Candace you have taught a lot of classes.
CANDACE ANGER: It is just, any time you can talk to someone about God when I remember
just could not wait you know to get ready in the morning to get to Weigh Down. I do
not coordinate as much anymore you know because I am here, but I just�
GWEN SHAMBLIN: You are coordinating coordinators. CANDANCE ANGER: Coordinating coordinators!
And but I just remember, I could not wait that I, I was almost frustrated that I have
to do my hair. You know because I would rather just get there. It was such a joy to sit down
and talk to someone about God. There was a woman, Tammy, and she wrote you a note. But
she did you know Breakthrough and just getting to talk to her and she lost nine pounds last
week. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Oh!!
CANDACE ANGER: Tammy from North Carolina. But you just, that when you are talking about
God, you are going through your bible, you are looking at your scriptures and you just,
you just I do not know. You cannot describe it. There is nothing like it. I guess it is
just so meaningful. GWEN SHAMBLIN: I mean and you are friends
for life. CANDACE ANGER: Yea
GWEN SHAMBLIN: I mean these people are just� CANDACE ANGER: You feel like you know one
another almost immediately. GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yes
CANDACE ANGER: Like there are people on Facebook, when I look at them, their names, even though
I have never met them, I feel like I know them.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: And you love. CANDACE ANGER: I love them. I never have met
Tammy. I love Tammy. She could come and stay at my house. I mean I just, you know.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yes, that is how I feel just the love. Your heart goes out and so then
people are helped and then the next thing you know just the world is a more hopeful
place. And not the big bad thing that you know people think it is. So wow, it is beautiful.
Fourteen years, okay so you excited about this class?
DEBBIE BLAIR: Very excited! I think Weigh Down Basics is the best class that has ever
been produced. You know, I feel like God is so merciful to give us a fresh class to go
back and you know make sure all those roots of greed are out. Because there is nothing
more you know joy filled than having a pure heart. And so I am excited.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: I want to give everybody this goal of thinking about where you never ever
ever eat unless you are hungry. That is it. I mean and to get there, to get to a point
where you never eat unless your stomach is growling, you know.
DEBBIE BLAIR: There is so much more to life. GWEN SHAMBLIN: That is Weigh Down Basics.
DEBBIE BLAIR: Yes GWEN SHAMBLIN: And, but to get there is, that
is part of those lists I am talking about. We are going to be going in there and asking
who cut in on you? What did satan tell you that it was okay this time not to do that?
What are you doing eating and you are not hungry? You know, what excuses are you giving
yourself? And so, we are just going to like put to death therefore, whatever belongs to
the excuses, these lies that satan brings in. He started in the garden. Did God really
say? You know, you will not surely die. And Eve answered correctly but it did not take
her but just a couple of seconds to listen to satan, because she answered correctly in
the beginning. She said you know, well God said do not touch it, do not eat it or you
will die. And I want to get everybody to the point where you know that you will die. You
will die. And more of that will be, I am working on
a book right now and I, okay so, it is a book that I wrote in 1998, 1999 and then you could
see where I reshuffled the chapters. It is called The Death of Sovereignty. And it will
be a three part series when it comes out. But I am just going through it and making
any kind of edits and updates. But it is so strong. It is so right. And I do not even
you know, know all the reasons why I set it down and did not do it. But it is a history
and it takes you from the fall of satan all the way to America.
And so anyway, God gets me up in the night and I got up. It was probably like you know
twelve something, one o-clock, and I stayed awake all the way until four something and
I you know was let the dog out and then I was going to go back up to bed and rest. And
so I went to bed and this sleep was very fitful. I mean, it was like it was dreams. And I do
not ever dream really. And so I dreamed that there was a tornado coming and yet all these
saints everywhere and they were all though looking to tie themselves down. And so they
were, you know we were all trying to figure out where can you get so that you, you know
will not get sucked up by this tornado and killed? And so, you know I ran into some people
and they said what are we doing? They said well people are tying themselves, it was a
big stadium and they were tying themselves to chairs. And I said but aren�t the chairs
going to get ripped up? She said �Yes�. I said, so finally I kind of woke up from
the distress of this, and then went back to sleep and then in the dream I said, you know
all of a sudden, I got some of the leaders of the church. And I go, why, show me the
Doppler screen. Show me you know the radar. Where is this path, you know of the tornado?
Where is this tornado? Where is it coming? And they we looked down and it was coming
straight at us, straight at us direct. And so I said then the answer is everybody get
out of here, run! Get out of here. Just get out of the path. Just get out of the path
of the tornado. The tornado is going northeast. Get out. Go west. Get out of the path.
And so at that point I woke up just distressed and I was I could tell I was like screaming
trying to make it loud so everybody would hear. And so everybody was screaming telling
everybody to get out of the path. Well four hours later I am in Brentwood and half the
staff is down in Franklin. I started getting phone calls that the sirens are going off
in Franklin and then the sirens started going off in Brentwood. And I so I sent out an email
to a lot of saints here in Nashville and said �Get out, look at the radar. Look at the
Weather Channel. Get out of its path.� Because I felt like you know God had maybe, well did
God get, because I remember the dream. I thought well did God, was that for today? And then
I started thinking that was not just for today. Get out of the paths of the wrath. Get out
of the path of the wrath of God. And so I last night at church I was you know
reading a little bit of Romans and I was reading you know Romans 1, you know where it was saying
that you know the wrath of God is being stored up for those, not just stored up, it is being
released from the Heavens. The wrath is being released from the Heavens. If you go back
and read Romans 1:19, and it is saying that on those who have not obeyed and then you
go to chapter 2 and it says because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart God�s
wrath is going to get poured out on you. Well why do people want to just tie themselves
down and just hunker down you know in the middle of a basement you know and you know
the tornado is coming? If you have enough warning would you not get out of town? Would
you not, if you, if you know that the tornado is coming, it is time. It is when the time
is up that you hunker down and just like the best is going to come. But if you can, if
you know where the wrath is going, the wrath is going on those it says that out of the
stubbornness they do not lay down their sin. So I feel like this whole class is for everyone
that feels like they are stubborn. They have been told what to do. But they are they are
running out of time. Time is up. Time is up here it comes. It was four hours later, got
the dream four hours later. There was a tornado warning and sirens going all over the place
here in Nashville and in Franklin. And so we are, this class is get out of the path
class, get out of the path. Hunker down, you know and all of us you know together get into
a safe place. We need to be in a safe place for us, our children, for our children�s
children. We need to find that green pastures, that calm and that peaceful place. And you
are doing nothing but storing up wrath for yourself because it goes on to say in 1:19,
I do not know if you can pull it up and read it? On, do you have a bible on yours? Read
1:19. The one I have got pulled up right now is I want to read to you, while she is looking
up Romans 1:19. This is David talking to his son and he says, so, and he says:
1 Chronicles 28:9 And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve
him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every
heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be
found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.
It is time to sign up and seek and you do not have the excuse of money. You do not have
the excuse of anything. Time is up. And it is time for us to move forward. And do not
get left behind. Do not get left behind, now is the time. So but did you find that verse?
Romans 1:19, Romans 1:19 that is an amazing, amazing chapter. So the class gives you a
lot of encouragement. There is a lot of encouragement on there, but also just a lot of direction.
It is a lot of repetition until it is in your heart so that you are out of the path of the
wrath. DEBBIE BLAIR: It is motivation
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Motivation and then (unintelligible) with all those thousands.
CANDACE ANGER:
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness
of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain
to them, because God has made it plain to them.
Is that the right verse? GWEN SHAMBLIN: That is it!
CANDACE ANGER: Okay GWEN SHAMBLIN: No, that is it. You know because
it is plain to you, and so the first part of the verse. Read that again.
CANDACE ANGER:
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness
of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain
to them, because God has made it plain to them.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Mm hmm. The first part though is just you know that God�s wrath is being
revealed. God�s wrath is being revealed. And so I know that I myself am ready and I
know that it is very encouraging, very encouraging for all of us to get to be together on Thursdays.
But I am here to say one more time if you are still struggling it is because the all,
wholehearted, love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, all your strength.
You need to add another day to the list. We need to add something else. And get on that
Truthstream. Get on this Facebook. Get on this TV show. Get on all this stuff. We are
not just saying this because this is a sweet little thing to do. We are all living it,
we are living it. And every day because of the satanic warfare,
the desires of your heart, and all the things that battle and rage against you making it,
and that is why I am loving what is going on right now, what God is doing, which is
absolutely a new thing. Because new people came on in the 90�s and you know when this
thing started. And then it is almost like there has been this, you know since to the,
you know the fall of the twin towers and all this devastation and this recession there
has been a wrath that has come out. You know all this unbelievable natural disasters and
everything has just been unprecedented. The billions that have been spent, it is just
there is nothing on record with this much, Katrina�s and tsunamis and globally. And
so I feel like God is now going okay you can get hit now. What are you going to do with
this? And when people left the message they realized
I am not a God. I cannot do this without God. Why is all this important? It is because the
only way to live is being connected to God. The only way to live is connected to God.
So anything you scramble and if you seek Him you will be found by Him. And I cannot believe
that. I cannot believe that He that the verse is out there that goes back and it talks about
being estranged from God. You feel like you are estranged from God, but the fact is, is
that nothing in any of your, in Ezekiel 18, none of the things that you have done in the
past will ever be remembered if you go back and turn toward doing it right with God. Nothing!
Nothing will be even remembered so you can forget all that. Let it go and let go what
everyone else is doing and get yourself ready. It is like an airplane, an airplane is crashing.
It says take down the oxygen mask. Put yours on first. Then help the person next to you.
Let�s put on the oxygen mask and let�s get going. So what do you have to say to that?
CANDACE ANGER: Amen! Well, I cannot add one thing to that except for I love that scripture
and I love that. And there were a few comments that came in on Facebook since you have been
talking about the Facebook class since you been talking in the last hour or so. GW1812,
if you want us to say your real name just throw it on the end of your comment, but she
said:
�I could just cry. I have so badly, I have wanted so badly to join the Facebook Weigh
Down Basics class, but my husband and I both became unemployed this month. So I have been
waiting for the right time to talk this over with my husband Kevin. He always discusses
extra purchases with me so I wanted to talk this over with him. I knew that Weigh Down
would help but we have money. We just do not know how long it will last or how long we
will be without jobs. I just now read on Facebook that the class will be $39.00. Praise God,
this I will do. Thank you so much! Forever changed for Him. Praise God, cannot wait to
meet you on there. Forever changed for Him, yea, love that Facebook will have a purpose.
I will get on and join Facebook and the class. Thank you for this huge discount.�
Tammy H:
�Amazing! Who can say not to life changing materials and class for $39.00?�
And, okay there were, I just got a note from the tech guys that they, that a few people
got on late because of tech issues, and so they wanted to know if you could give oh like
a one minute wrap up of some of the main points from the beginning. I think that is the note
that they wrote me.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yes, and by the way if you get on RemnantFellowship.TV, that is my main
wrap up, if you get on remnantfellowship.tv. CANDACE ANGER: 4:30 on Saturday you will be
talking. GWEN SHAMBLIN: But I want them to watch this
show. CANDACE ANGER: Mm hmm
GWEN SHAMBLIN: There is a lot on this show already and so to motivate you so remnantfellowship.tv,
and so. And Debbie what do you have before I wrap it up?
DEBBIE BLAIR: Well, I am just excited to meet everybody in this online class, or in the
Facebook class. I wanted to give a shout out to my Tuesday night Breakthrough class. They
were all praying for me today. And then I, I am I just think it is the most exciting
thing to do this together. So praise God and see you in the chat.
GWEN SHAMBLIN: Yes, I think that is what we, there is how we will wrap it up, we will see
you there. We are going to see you in the chat. We are going to see you on the class.
At this point just get on. CANDACE ANGER: A week from Sunday, week from
Sunday. GWEN SHAMBLIN: I mean we have got operators
here, the phones ringing off the hook right now. Get in there and get yourself settled
in on this class. And we will send out some more tweets, some more emails, and just to
remind you to get all the way signed up. And then you know we are going to do this. We
are about you know giving all of mind and all of our soul and all of our strength. And
I have been doing this for a long time and I have not seen anything around but getting
focused. And when you get around this many people that are focused and this many people
that are wanting to you know to get it right, it fills in the gaps of where you fall short.
And so we all need each other. A foot cannot say to a hand I have no need
of you. This is the body of Christ and we all need each other. We all need this and
I praise, I definitely praise God for you. I need you. And I told some of the girls this
morning, we were reading some of the comments, I just said, I said this is, I cannot even
tell you what it does for me to see this many people wanting to make God who He is, the
creator of all and then putting us in our place where we are appreciative and responding
back correctly. I cannot wait for us all to get it right, so.
Until we see you on Sunday, I just want to, and then until next week�s TV show just
remember, we can and we are going to overcome through Jesus Christ! Praise God! Praise God.
Thank you all for joining us today. Thank you Debbie, thank you Candace and we will
see you soon.
