Somebody tell me what you learned last hour that you walked away with.

Attraction is a good thing, if it's attraction to the right thing.

That wasn't in my class, but that's a good thought.

I'm reading through the Great Controversy again and Martin Luther, before he went to Worms, he spent 3 hours of his choices study time in prayer to prepare for that time.

I just said, God, help me to learn how to pray like that.

And trials help us to learn how to pray like that, for sure.

Was anybody in my class last hour that learned anything?

Without hope, information just hurts and crushes.

That's why Jesus brought hope and strength to all with whom he came in contact.

Alright, well I think, my name is Vicki Griffin.

And today we're talking about God's peace plan.

The next class that we're having this afternoon is Mindset Matters, how to develop the mental metal to overcome obstacles and negative naysaying habitual negative attitude.

And then the 1 after that, I can't remember.

Oh, food, mood, addictions, and the brain.

We did that 1 at Brighton Hospital and it's a powerful program.

So as we begin today, this is pulling the camera back and helping us look at the big picture, the big picture, so that we don't get lost in the shrubs.

Did all of you receive your set of glow tracks?

We also have a larger form of those hands are up and though each 1 of those 24 topics you see these lovely pictures this is the program today we produced my husband and I he's passed away now but we produce materials for you to do evangelism with.

Programs that you can edit and use to win souls and gain decisions for Christ.

So the 24 topics that you have in those tracks these are the first 16, 8 and 8.

The next 8 will be ready in a month and they are fully scripted PowerPoints in a short and long version so you can do a 5 to 7 minute presentation or you can do a 30 minute presentation and that's what these are and that's what the images that you are going to see, this is what they look like.

So that you can make appeals, gain decisions for Christ, they are editable, You can take them to another country and change the language.

I did a program in Iceland and I changed all the statistics.

I did 1 in England, changed the statistics, added, swapped slides around.

And so we have this amazing contract with Alamy that has 65 million images and they have written a contract with us that is unheard of in the imaging digital world and we believe that it is God opening the floodgates for Gospel evangelism for you to do.

And we have people using this in their homes.

That's why we do what we do, so that you can be empowered in your ministry.

So as we begin, I would like to begin with prayer, and we're going to take a look at God's peace plan.

Father in heaven, I thank you for this time that we can spend together.

Thank you for each and every precious soul that is here, and I pray that your spirit would move upon our hearts, move upon my mouth and what I say, and the hearers, that you would open our eyes of understanding and give us a heart to learn.

So God's peace plan, finding peace in your crazy, busy world.

Yeah, there's even something called hurry sickness now that people suffer from.

There's a saying, A Chinese proverb, we hurry, we worry, and we bury.

We are so busy, but our lives can be very barren in that busyness.

You know, people will come to me and I, this is very recent.

People come to me and say, how are you doing?

You know, why, shouldn't we say, the Lord is helping me to be fruitful?

Gandhi said this, there is more to life than increasing its speed.

Can you imagine Jesus with the disciples?

Okay, guys, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

I have some demonics to meet, you know, stuff to do.

And amazingly, Ellen White says that God is calm upon his throne, calm upon his throne.

And there is a quote that I really, really love because we can become so frenzied, so frantic.

And if I can find this, ah, this is incredible.

Christ can look upon the misery of the world without a shade of sorrow for having created man.

In the human heart, he sees more than sin, more than misery.

In his infinite wisdom and love, he sees man's possibilities, the height to which he may attain.

He knows that even though human beings have abused their mercies and destroyed their God-given dignity, yet the Creator is to be glorified in their redemption." Amen?

So, Heaven and hell are involved in the same circumstances to bring about different results.

God allows things that he hates in order to bring about things that he loves.
