>> FROM ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
THE CARTER REPORT PRESENTS
00:00:07.46\00:00:10.43
"THE LIVING
WORD" AROUND THE WORLD.
00:00:10.43\00:00:14.43
>> HELLO, FRIEND.
00:00:17.56\00:00:18.46
I'M JOHN CARTER WITH A VERY
SPECIAL MESSAGE JUST FOR YOU.
00:00:18.46\00:00:22.93
I BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS CALLED
YOU AND ME TO TELL THE WORLD
00:00:22.93\00:00:27.43
ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
00:00:27.43\00:00:29.70
YOU KNOW, FRIEND, WHEN I TURN
IN MY BIBLE TO REVELATION 14,
00:00:29.70\00:00:34.16
I READ THERE OF A WORLDWIDE
PROCLAMATION OF THE GOSPEL
00:00:34.16\00:00:40.06
IN THE SETTING OF
SOME VERY AMAZING TRUTHS.
00:00:40.06\00:00:43.16
AND THAT IS WHY THE
CARTER REPORT RIGHT NOW
00:00:43.16\00:00:45.60
IS WORKING IN CHINA.
00:00:45.60\00:00:47.13
ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
00:00:47.13\00:00:48.56
ALSO IN INDIA.
00:00:48.56\00:00:50.40
WE'RE TELECASTING IN INDIA.
00:00:50.40\00:00:52.53
AND VERY SHORTLY,
WE'RE GOING TO AFRICA.
00:00:52.53\00:00:55.50
AND WHEN WE GO TO AFRICA,
THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST IS GOING
00:00:55.50\00:00:58.83
TO BE TELECAST RIGHT
ACROSS THAT GREAT CONTINENT
00:00:58.83\00:01:02.30
AND MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE
00:01:02.30\00:01:04.86
AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME
TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST.
00:01:04.86\00:01:08.73
I'M ASKING TODAY FOR YOUR
HELP AND YOUR PARTNERSHIP.
00:01:08.73\00:01:14.46
I WANT YOU TO
WRITE TO ME, PLEASE.
00:01:14.46\00:01:16.90
AND I WANT YOU TO SUPPORT US
IN THIS WORLDWIDE EVANGELISM.
00:01:16.90\00:01:22.50
AND WHEN YOU DO SO, I
WANT TO SEND YOU TWO DVDs.
00:01:22.50\00:01:28.10
TWO DVDs.
00:01:28.10\00:01:31.56
ONE IS ABOUT HOW TO SURVIVE
THE COMING FINANCIAL MELTDOWN,
00:01:31.56\00:01:37.03
AND THE SECOND ONE IS ABOUT
THE HEALTH CRISIS THAT IS JUST
00:01:37.03\00:01:40.93
ABOUT BLOWING AMERICA APART,
BUT IT CONCERNS MY FRIENDS ALSO
00:01:40.93\00:01:46.46
IN AUSTRALIA.
00:01:46.46\00:01:47.80
SO PLEASE, SUPPORT
US IN THIS GREAT WORK.
00:01:47.80\00:01:50.86
AND WHEN YOU SUPPORT US,
I'LL SEND YOU THESE TWO DVDs.
00:01:50.86\00:01:56.00
WRITE TO ME, JOHN
CARTER, POST OFFICE BOX 1900,
00:01:56.00\00:01:59.26
THOUSAND OAKS,
CALIFORNIA, 91358.
00:01:59.26\00:02:02.43
IN AUSTRALIA,
WRITE TO ME AT TERRIGAL.
00:02:02.43\00:02:05.93
SUPPORT US IN THIS
GREAT OUTREACH TO THE WORLD.
00:02:05.93\00:02:10.50
LET CHRIST BE KNOWN AND
MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
00:02:10.50\00:02:15.43
WRITE TO ME, PLEASE, TODAY.
00:02:15.43\00:02:18.73
>> ON FEBRUARY 28, THE
YEAR WAS 2005, I BECAME
00:02:21.30\00:02:27.30
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
00:02:27.30\00:02:30.26
[APPLAUDING] >>
WHILE STILL RETAINING MY
00:02:30.26\00:02:37.26
AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP.
00:02:37.26\00:02:39.93
SO I HAVE DUAL CITIZENSHIP,
BUT I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.
00:02:39.93\00:02:45.86
I'VE LIVED IN THE UNITED
STATES SINCE THE END OF 1985.
00:02:45.86\00:02:50.56
WE FIRST WENT TO TEXAS,
THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS.
00:02:50.56\00:02:56.36
THE TEXANS WERE AMAZED
TO DISCOVER THAT AUSTRALIA
00:02:56.36\00:03:01.36
WAS BIGGER THAN TEXAS.
00:03:01.36\00:03:03.50
WELL, WE TOLD 'EM.
00:03:03.50\00:03:04.56
NO, THEY SAID THAT CAN'T BE SO.
00:03:04.56\00:03:05.70
WE SAID, "WELL, IT IS TRUE.
00:03:05.70\00:03:08.46
TEXAS WOULD FIT INTO OUR--
JUST A LITTLE TINY PORTION."
00:03:08.46\00:03:11.46
THEY SAID, "NO, THAT'S
ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE," BUT IT
00:03:11.46\00:03:13.76
IS TRUE, MY TEXAN FRIENDS.
00:03:13.76\00:03:17.60
TEXAS WAS A
WONDERFUL PLACE TO GO TO.
00:03:17.60\00:03:21.93
I CAN STILL REMEMBER
CELEBRATING ANZAC DAY, WHICH IS
00:03:21.93\00:03:25.86
THE BIG HOLIDAY FOR AUSTRALIA.
00:03:25.86\00:03:27.66
IT CELEBRATES A SPLENDID DEFEAT.
00:03:27.66\00:03:33.20
IT TALKS ABOUT HOW WE
LOST AT GALLIPOLI THOUSANDS AND
00:03:33.20\00:03:41.03
THOUSANDS OF YOUNG MEN, 18, 19,
20 YEARS OF AGE AS THEY STORMED
00:03:41.03\00:03:47.66
UP THE WRONG BEACHES.
00:03:47.66\00:03:51.00
I CAN REMEMBER CELEBRATING
ANZAC DAY, THE 25TH OF APRIL,
00:03:51.00\00:03:55.90
WITH SOME OF MY TEXAN
FRIENDS IN A MEXICAN RESTAURANT,
00:03:55.90\00:04:01.53
CELEBRATING AN
AUSTRALIAN DAY THAT TALKS ABOUT
00:04:01.53\00:04:05.23
A GREAT DEFEAT.
00:04:05.23\00:04:07.60
THAT SORT OF
SYMBOLIZED SOMEWHAT AMERICA.
00:04:07.60\00:04:10.63
IT IS A LAND OF WONDER.
00:04:10.63\00:04:12.43
IT IS ALSO A LAND OF PARADOXES.
00:04:12.43\00:04:16.40
I MADE SOME MARVELOUS FRIENDS
IN THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS.
00:04:16.40\00:04:19.46
I THINK OF PAULA
AND RUSSELL OWENS.
00:04:19.46\00:04:22.73
JUST WANT TO SAY
G'DAY TO PAULA AND RUSSELL.
00:04:22.73\00:04:25.90
CARL AND GLENDA FIBBS.
00:04:25.90\00:04:29.20
GEORGE AND BONNY CASE.
00:04:29.20\00:04:30.73
GEORGE WAS ONE
OF THE GREEN BERETS.
00:04:30.73\00:04:33.43
JUST A GREAT GUY.
00:04:33.43\00:04:34.70
AND THE TEXANS LEFT A
BIT OF TEXAS IN MY HEART.
00:04:34.70\00:04:38.36
IT IS STILL THERE.
00:04:38.36\00:04:39.76
AT THE END OF 1988, WE MOVED
TO CALIFORNIA AND WE'VE BEEN IN
00:04:39.76\00:04:44.40
A STATE OF
CULTURE SHOCK EVER SINCE.
00:04:44.40\00:04:49.20
SO WE'VE LIVED HERE IN
THE GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA,
00:04:49.20\00:04:52.43
MORE CORRECTLY IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA, WHICH IS DIFFERENT
00:04:52.43\00:04:56.36
TO THE REST OF CALIFORNIA.
00:04:56.36\00:04:57.93
IN FACT, DIFFERENT TO
THE REST OF THE WORLD.
00:04:57.93\00:05:00.36
LIVED HERE IN THE USA FOR
25 YEARS, WHICH IS MORE THAN
00:05:00.36\00:05:04.33
SOME OF YOU FOLKS HAVE
LIVED BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT EVEN
00:05:04.33\00:05:07.60
25 YEARS OLD YET.
00:05:07.60\00:05:09.03
AMERICA HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME.
00:05:09.03\00:05:14.80
AMERICA HAS BEEN GOOD
TO MILLIONS AND MILLIONS
00:05:14.80\00:05:17.00
OF PEOPLE.
00:05:17.00\00:05:18.36
AND AMERICA HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME.
00:05:18.36\00:05:21.40
SO I CAN SAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.
00:05:21.40\00:05:24.63
AMERICA HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME.
00:05:24.63\00:05:26.26
AND I WANT TO SAY TO MY
OZZIE FRIENDS THAT WHILE I LOVE
00:05:26.26\00:05:29.20
AUSTRALIA--YOU KNOW,
THERE WAS A MAN WHO USED TO SING
00:05:29.20\00:05:32.46
THE SONG.
00:05:32.46\00:05:33.46
YOU KNOW THE SONG?
00:05:33.46\00:05:34.56
HIS NAME WAS PETER.
00:05:34.56\00:05:35.76
"I STILL CALL AUSTRALIA HOME."
00:05:35.76\00:05:38.63
HE SAID, "I'VE BEEN TO CITIES,"
THE SONG--HE USED TO GET UP
00:05:38.63\00:05:41.46
AND DANCE ON TOP OF THE PIANO,
SO SOME OF YOU FOLKS WOULD HAVE
00:05:41.46\00:05:43.83
SEEN THAT.
00:05:43.83\00:05:45.20
"I'VE BEEN TO CITIES THAT
NEVER CLOSE DOWN FROM NEW YORK
00:05:45.20\00:05:48.66
TO RIO TO OLD LONDON TOWN.
00:05:48.66\00:05:51.23
BUT WHEREVER I GO,
WHEREVER I ROVE, I STILL CALL
00:05:51.23\00:05:55.83
AUSTRALIA HOME."
00:05:55.83\00:05:57.43
SO I WAS BORN IN AUSTRALIA
AND I STILL HAVE THE GUM LEAVES
00:05:57.43\00:06:03.33
IN MY BLOODSTREAM,
BUT I BELIEVE THIS.
00:06:03.33\00:06:08.90
AND I SAY THIS WITH
GREAT RESPECT TO AUSTRALIA.
00:06:08.90\00:06:13.76
I BELIEVE THAT I WAS ABLE
TO DO THINGS IN AMERICA I COULD
00:06:13.76\00:06:19.20
NOT HAVE DONE
ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
00:06:19.20\00:06:23.20
I REALLY BELIEVE THIS.
00:06:23.20\00:06:24.93
BECAUSE AMERICA IS A LAND OF
MARVELOUS OPPORTUNITY TO PEOPLE
00:06:24.93\00:06:30.83
WHO ARE PREPARED TO WORK HARD.
00:06:30.83\00:06:33.10
IT IS A LAND OF
FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY.
00:06:33.10\00:06:37.16
AND IF YOU LIVE IN AMERICA,
IF YOU JUST LIVE HERE, YOU
00:06:37.16\00:06:40.53
SHOULD NEVER, NEVER COMPLAIN
BECAUSE IT IS A LAND OF FREEDOM,
00:06:40.53\00:06:48.10
FREEDOM TO WORK HARD,
AND GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
00:06:48.10\00:06:53.40
"WHILE THE STORM CLOUDS
GATHER FAR ACROSS THE SEA,
00:06:53.40\00:06:58.03
LET US SWEAR ALLEGIANCE
TO A LAND THAT'S FREE.
00:06:58.03\00:07:02.30
LET US ALL BE GRATEFUL
FOR A LAND SO FAIR AS WE RAISE
00:07:02.30\00:07:07.03
OUR VOICES IN A SOLEMN PRAYER.
00:07:07.03\00:07:10.73
GOD BLESS
AMERICA, LAND THAT I LOVE.
00:07:10.73\00:07:16.70
STAND BESIDE HER AND
GUIDE HER THROUGH THE NIGHT
00:07:16.70\00:07:21.36
WITH A LIGHT FROM ABOVE.
00:07:21.36\00:07:23.53
FROM THE
MOUNTAINS TO THE PRAIRIES
00:07:23.53\00:07:26.66
TO THE OCEANS WHITE WITH FOAM,
00:07:26.66\00:07:30.10
GOD BLESS AMERICA,
MY HOME SWEET HOME."
00:07:30.10\00:07:36.53
I WANT TO SAY TO THIS AUDIENCE
TODAY AND TO THE AUDIENCE
00:07:36.53\00:07:40.53
AROUND THE WORLD,
I BELIEVE IN AMERICA.
00:07:40.53\00:07:46.00
THIS I BELIEVE.
00:07:46.00\00:07:49.63
I BELIEVE IN AMERICA.
00:07:49.63\00:07:53.63
AND I HAVE A TEXT
TODAY FOR EACH ONE OF US.
00:07:53.63\00:07:56.73
I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR
BIBLES AND COME OVER HERE
00:07:56.73\00:07:59.40
TO 2 CHRONICLES 7:14.
00:07:59.40\00:08:04.20
2 CHRONICLES 7:14.
00:08:04.20\00:08:09.76
WE'RE TURNING TO
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:08:09.76\00:08:11.93
2 CHRONICLES 7:14.
00:08:11.93\00:08:18.60
I BELIEVE IN AMERICA,
THE AMERICA THAT BELIEVES.
00:08:18.60\00:08:24.96
AND THIS IS OUR OPENING TEXT.
00:08:24.96\00:08:26.90
2 CHRONICLES 7:14.
00:08:26.90\00:08:29.86
"IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE
CALLED BY MY NAME, WILL HUMBLE
00:08:29.86\00:08:35.00
THEMSELVES AND PRAY AND SEEK MY
FACE AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED
00:08:35.00\00:08:40.13
WAYS, THEN WILL I HEAR FROM
HEAVEN AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR
00:08:40.13\00:08:44.36
SIN AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND."
00:08:44.36\00:08:47.63
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN THE
PEOPLE OF GOD ARE IN A TIME OF
00:08:47.63\00:08:52.96
DISTRESS, IF THEY WILL TURN TO
GOD AND IF THEY WILL TURN FROM
00:08:52.96\00:09:00.33
THEIR EVIL WAYS, THE
BIBLE TELLS ME THAT GOD WILL NOT
00:09:00.33\00:09:04.63
FORGET THEM, BUT
GOD WILL FORGIVE THEM.
00:09:04.63\00:09:08.36
AND THE BIBLE TELLS ME
THAT HE WILL HEAL THEIR LAND.
00:09:08.36\00:09:13.00
NUMBER ONE TODAY.
00:09:13.00\00:09:14.26
NOW LISTEN TO THESE
POINTS VERY PLAINLY.
00:09:14.26\00:09:16.80
NUMBER ONE.
00:09:16.80\00:09:18.36
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA
THAT ACKNOWLEDGES AND RESPECTS
00:09:18.36\00:09:24.66
THE CREATOR.
00:09:24.66\00:09:27.90
YOU WONDER WHY AMERICA HAS
BECOME SUCH A GREAT NATION?
00:09:27.90\00:09:31.93
IT IS BECAUSE THIS GREAT
NATION WAS FOUNDED UPON A BELIEF
00:09:31.93\00:09:37.93
IN GOD THE CREATOR.
00:09:37.93\00:09:40.66
AND I'M GOING TO READ
TODAY FROM THE DECLARATION
00:09:40.66\00:09:43.53
OF INDEPENDENCE.
00:09:43.53\00:09:46.10
THOSE EARLY AMERICANS SAID THIS.
00:09:46.10\00:09:48.60
"WE HOLD THESE
TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT."
00:09:48.60\00:09:52.83
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
TRY TO PROVE THEM.
00:09:52.83\00:09:55.13
"WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE
SELF EVIDENT, THAT ALL MEN ARE
00:09:55.13\00:09:59.16
CREATED EQUAL, THAT THEY ARE
ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH
00:09:59.16\00:10:04.53
CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS.
00:10:04.53\00:10:08.03
AMONG THESE ARE LIFE, LIBERTY,
AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS."
00:10:08.03\00:10:14.93
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THERE
IS A CREATOR GOD AND AMERICA
00:10:14.93\00:10:20.66
BELIEVES IT.
00:10:20.66\00:10:22.90
AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS SAYS,
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
00:10:22.90\00:10:25.60
SAYS, THE DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE SAYS THAT THE
00:10:25.60\00:10:29.13
CREATOR HAS ENDOWED US
WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS.
00:10:29.13\00:10:34.93
YOU DON'T READ THAT, MY FRIEND,
IN THE RUSSIAN CONSTITUTION
00:10:34.93\00:10:39.10
THAT THERE IS A GREAT CREATOR.
00:10:39.10\00:10:41.50
I WANT YOU TO COME OVER
HERE NOW TO DEUTERONOMY 4:39-40.
00:10:41.50\00:10:48.66
DEUTERONOMY 4:39-40.
00:10:48.66\00:10:54.63
THE BIBLE SAYS, "ACKNOWLEDGE
AND TAKE TO HEART THIS DAY THAT
00:10:54.63\00:10:59.13
THE LORD IS GOD IN THE HEAVEN
ABOVE AND ON THE EARTH BENEATH.
00:10:59.13\00:11:04.60
THERE IS NO OTHER.
00:11:04.60\00:11:07.00
KEEP HIS DECREES AND COMMANDS,
WHICH I AM GIVING YOU TODAY,
00:11:07.00\00:11:11.13
SO THAT IT MAY GO WELL WITH
YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN AFTER YOU
00:11:11.13\00:11:17.23
AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE LONG IN
THE LAND THE LORD YOUR GOD GIVES
00:11:17.23\00:11:21.96
YOU FOR ALL TIME."
00:11:21.96\00:11:25.46
AMERICA IS A NATION THAT
IS BASED UPON THE CONCEPT THAT
00:11:25.46\00:11:30.23
THERE'S A GOD
AND HE HAS MADE US.
00:11:30.23\00:11:33.73
FOREIGNERS ARE AMAZED WHEN
THEY SEE THE INAUGURATION OF THE
00:11:33.73\00:11:39.33
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
00:11:39.33\00:11:43.30
YOU DON'T HAVE IT LIKE THIS
VIRTUALLY IN ANY OTHER PLACE
00:11:43.30\00:11:46.70
IN THE WORLD, EXCEPT PERHAPS
THE CORONATION OF THE SOVEREIGN
00:11:46.70\00:11:50.86
OF GREAT BRITAIN.
00:11:50.86\00:11:53.10
BUT WHEN I CAME TO THIS
COUNTRY, I WAS AMAZED THAT
00:11:53.10\00:11:56.23
THE INAUGURATION WAS
LIKE A CHURCH SERVICE.
00:11:56.23\00:12:00.43
THEY STARTED WITH PRAYERS
AND THEY FINISHED WITH PRAYERS
00:12:00.43\00:12:04.40
AND THEY HAD HYMNS AND
THE PRESIDENT, WHEN HE GOT UP,
00:12:04.40\00:12:07.86
ALMOST PREACHED
A CHURCH SERVICE.
00:12:07.86\00:12:12.23
YOU WON'T FIND THIS IN RUSSIA
OR IN VIRTUALLY ANY COUNTRY ON
00:12:12.23\00:12:16.43
THE FACE OF THE EARTH
BECAUSE THIS GREAT NATION IS
00:12:16.43\00:12:21.10
A RELIGIOUS NATION.
00:12:21.10\00:12:22.80
IT BELIEVES IN GOD.
00:12:22.80\00:12:24.66
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA THAT BELIEVES IN GOD.
00:12:24.66\00:12:30.06
LISTEN TO THIS.
00:12:30.06\00:12:32.20
NO NATION, INCLUDING AUSTRALIA
OR GREAT BRITAIN, I DON'T--OR
00:12:32.20\00:12:37.36
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
00:12:37.36\00:12:39.33
NO NATION CAN SURVIVE THAT
REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE GOD.
00:12:39.33\00:12:46.20
NOW, I KNOW A LOT ABOUT THIS.
00:12:46.20\00:12:49.16
I'VE BEEN TO RUSSIA 40 TIMES.
00:12:49.16\00:12:54.30
I'M ALMOST AN AUTHORITY ON
RUSSIA BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT
00:12:54.30\00:12:59.96
THE LAND OF PRAYER
WHEN YOU HAD INAUGURATIONS.
00:12:59.96\00:13:03.30
IT WAS THE LAND OF KARL MARX.
00:13:03.30\00:13:08.60
THIS MAN, WHO CAME FROM
GERMANY, WHO HAD TURNED AWAY
00:13:08.60\00:13:12.96
COMPLETELY FROM THE BIBLE,
HE SAID, "WE ARE GOING TO HAVE,"
00:13:12.96\00:13:17.00
SAID KARL MARX, "A NEW GOSPEL.
00:13:17.00\00:13:19.93
IT'S GOING TO BE THE
GOSPEL OF SOCIALISM."
00:13:19.93\00:13:22.83
I'VE READ THROUGH HIS BOOKS.
00:13:22.83\00:13:25.56
AND THEN AFTER MARX
CAME LENIN AND STALIN.
00:13:25.56\00:13:29.26
AND THESE PEOPLE REPUDIATED GOD.
00:13:29.26\00:13:32.23
THEY SAID, "THERE IS NO GOD."
00:13:32.23\00:13:35.13
AND WHAT WAS THE
RESULT, MY FRIEND?
00:13:35.13\00:13:38.33
THE DEATH CAMPS, THE GULAGS,
THE BEATINGS, THE MURDERS.
00:13:38.33\00:13:45.60
I'VE GONE TO SIBERIA
AND I'VE STOOD IN CEMETERIES
00:13:45.60\00:13:49.20
THAT HOLD HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
00:13:49.20\00:13:52.26
TEN MILLION PEOPLE PUT
TO DEATH IN SIBERIA ALONE.
00:13:52.26\00:13:58.56
DID YOU KNOW--HAVE
YOU EVER HEARD OF MAGADAN?
00:13:58.56\00:14:02.86
YOU OUGHT TO
PUT IT IN YOUR MIND.
00:14:02.86\00:14:04.83
MAGADAN.
00:14:04.83\00:14:06.66
UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA HAS NEVER HAD A MAGADAN.
00:14:06.66\00:14:11.26
THAT'S IN THE FAR EAST.
00:14:11.26\00:14:14.36
THEY PUT THE POLITICAL
AND THE RELIGIOUS PRISONERS ON
00:14:14.36\00:14:17.63
THE TRANS-SIBERIAN EXPRESS IN
CATTLE CARS AND IN THE MIDST OF
00:14:17.63\00:14:22.66
WINTER, MINUS 40 DEGREES, THIS
MAN SENT THEM ACROSS TO A TOWN
00:14:22.66\00:14:27.90
BY THE NAME OF MAGADAN.
00:14:27.90\00:14:30.66
THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF A
CHRISTIAN, OF A DISSIDENT
00:14:30.66\00:14:35.66
WAS 6 MONTHS.
00:14:35.66\00:14:39.36
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
SOULS DIED IN THE VILLAGE AROUND
00:14:39.36\00:14:45.00
THE CENTER OF MAGADAN.
00:14:45.00\00:14:46.90
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND.
00:14:46.90\00:14:48.30
IF YOU GO THERE TODAY, THE
STREETS--IF YOU DIG BENEATH
00:14:48.30\00:14:52.70
THE ROADS, YOU COME TO
HUMAN BONES AND SKULLS.
00:14:52.70\00:14:57.20
IT WAS A CIVILIZATION
THAT WAS BASED UPON ATHEISM.
00:14:57.20\00:15:02.56
I WANT TO SAY TO THE ATHEISTS,
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY WHEN
00:15:02.56\00:15:06.26
YOU SNEER ABOUT GOD AND
YOU MOCK AT THE CHRISTIANS?"
00:15:06.26\00:15:10.13
AS I SAW THAT WOMAN, THAT
AMERICAN WOMAN ON TELEVISION
00:15:10.13\00:15:14.96
MOCKING AT GOD.
00:15:14.96\00:15:17.66
IF YOU LIVED IN OTHER
COUNTRIES, YOU WOULDN'T BE
00:15:17.66\00:15:20.00
ALLOWED TO TALK ON TELEVISION
BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW WOMEN
00:15:20.00\00:15:24.23
TO DO ANYTHING.
00:15:24.23\00:15:27.80
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA THAT BELIEVES IN GOD.
00:15:27.80\00:15:34.36
AND THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT
COUNTRY BECAUSE IT WAS FOUNDED
00:15:34.36\00:15:38.16
BY PEOPLE WHO CAME HERE
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED IN GOD.
00:15:38.16\00:15:43.76
CHARLES DICKENS WROTE THE
BOOK "A TALE OF TWO CITIES."
00:15:43.76\00:15:46.93
WE COULD WRITE A BOOK
ENTITLED "TWO COUNTRIES."
00:15:46.93\00:15:49.50
THE SOVIET UNION
AND THE UNITED STATES.
00:15:49.50\00:15:53.60
THEREFORE, I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA THAT BELIEVES IN GOD.
00:15:53.60\00:15:59.56
I'M ASTOUNDED TO BELIEVE
THAT IN THIS GREAT LAND, ONE OF
00:15:59.56\00:16:05.10
THE FASTEST GROWING
RELIGIONS IS ATHEISM.
00:16:05.10\00:16:10.50
YOU KNOW WHY?
00:16:10.50\00:16:14.43
BECAUSE THEY'VE
GIVEN UP THINKING.
00:16:14.43\00:16:18.66
THERE IS OVERWHELMING
EVIDENCE TO BELIEVE IN GOD.
00:16:18.66\00:16:22.70
I HEAR ATHEISTS ALL THE TIME
POKING FUN AT GOD AND POKING
00:16:22.70\00:16:27.30
FUN AT THE CHURCH.
00:16:27.30\00:16:28.93
GO TO RUSSIA AND HAVE A LOOK
AND SEE WHAT THEY DID THERE.
00:16:28.93\00:16:32.40
SEVENTY MILLION
PEOPLE BUTCHERED IN THE NAME
00:16:32.40\00:16:37.26
OF ATHEISM.
00:16:37.26\00:16:39.20
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA THAT BELIEVES IN GOD.
00:16:39.20\00:16:45.23
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
00:16:45.23\00:16:47.50
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA
THAT BELIEVES IN FREEDOM.
00:16:47.50\00:16:54.43
I WANT YOU TO COME
OVER HERE TO JOHN 8:32.
00:16:54.43\00:16:57.36
THE AMERICA THAT
BELIEVES IN FREEDOM.
00:16:57.36\00:17:02.06
JOHN 8:32.
00:17:02.06\00:17:06.46
JESUS SAID, "THEN YOU WILL KNOW
THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL
00:17:06.46\00:17:12.26
SET YOU FREE."
00:17:12.26\00:17:13.93
THE BIBLE IS A BOOK ABOUT TRUTH
AND IT IS A BOOK ABOUT FREEDOM.
00:17:13.93\00:17:19.46
COME OVER NOW PLEASE TO
GALATIANS 5, TO THE WORDS
00:17:19.46\00:17:24.40
OF THE GREAT JEWISH
SCHOLAR, SAINT PAUL.
00:17:24.40\00:17:27.36
GALATIANS, EPHESIANS.
00:17:27.36\00:17:29.90
GALATIANS 5:1.
00:17:29.90\00:17:32.80
PAUL SAYS, "IT IS FOR FREEDOM
THAT CHRIST HAS SET US FREE.
00:17:32.80\00:17:38.60
STAND FIRM, THEN, AND DO NOT
LET YOURSELF BE BURDENED AGAIN
00:17:38.60\00:17:43.33
BY A YOKE OF SLAVERY."
00:17:43.33\00:17:45.50
I BELIEVE IN FREEDOM.
00:17:45.50\00:17:50.26
YOU KNOW, GOD GIVES US FREEDOM.
00:17:50.26\00:17:54.50
NOT THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
00:17:54.50\00:17:58.30
I SAT WITH THE GOVERNOR OF
THE PROVINCE OF NIZHNY NOVGOROD,
00:17:58.30\00:18:02.86
WHO BECAME THE DEPUTY SPEAKER
OF THE GREAT DUMA THAT THEY
00:18:02.86\00:18:07.63
HAVE IN MOSCOW.
00:18:07.63\00:18:09.56
AND I TALKED TO GOVERNOR BORIS
NEMTSOV, WHO ALSO HAS A PHD
00:18:09.56\00:18:15.03
IN PHYSICS.
00:18:15.03\00:18:17.66
MAN, HUGE MAN,
GREAT MASS OF HAIR.
00:18:17.66\00:18:23.03
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SITTING
WITH HIM AND TALKING WITH HIM
00:18:23.03\00:18:26.50
ABOUT FREEDOM.
00:18:26.50\00:18:28.20
THIS BACK IN '92 AFTER WE
RAN THE BIG CAMPAIGN THERE
00:18:28.20\00:18:31.03
AND BAPTIZED 2 & 1/2
THOUSAND RUSSIAN SOULS IN
00:18:31.03\00:18:34.13
THE VOLGA RIVER.
00:18:34.13\00:18:35.23
I SAID, "I WANT TO TELL
YOU SOMETHING, GOVERNOR.
00:18:35.23\00:18:37.63
YOU DON'T GIVE THE
RUSSIAN PEOPLE FREEDOM.
00:18:37.63\00:18:40.10
GOD GIVES THEM FREEDOM.
00:18:40.10\00:18:42.26
AND IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOD THE
00:18:42.26\00:18:46.20
CREATOR HAS MADE ALL
PEOPLE EQUAL AND YOU DON'T GIVE
00:18:46.20\00:18:49.70
'EM FREEDOM.
00:18:49.70\00:18:50.66
GOD GIVES 'EM FREEDOM."
00:18:50.66\00:18:53.03
AND I WANT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
TO KNOW THANK GOD WE LIVE IN
00:18:53.03\00:18:57.10
A COUNTRY THAT ACKNOWLEDGES
A GOD WHO GIVES US FREEDOM.
00:18:57.10\00:19:03.43
FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
00:19:03.43\00:19:07.63
BOY, THAT'S WONDERFUL.
00:19:07.63\00:19:09.53
AND LET ME SAY SOMETHING.
00:19:09.53\00:19:11.86
FREEDOM TO THINK.
00:19:11.86\00:19:14.63
THEY GAVE ME A LITTLE BOOK.
00:19:14.63\00:19:17.00
I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BOOK WITH
THE PRESIDENT'S PICTURE IN IT,
00:19:17.00\00:19:20.53
GEORGE BUSH.
00:19:20.53\00:19:21.90
I'M SURE HE SIGNED
IT PERSONALLY FOR ME.
00:19:21.90\00:19:25.33
AND THIS LITTLE BOOK FROM
GEORGE BUSH SAID, "YOU'VE GOT
00:19:25.33\00:19:29.13
THE RIGHT TO THINK
WHAT YOU WANT TO THINK."
00:19:29.13\00:19:31.70
I SAID, "THANK YOU.
00:19:31.70\00:19:32.63
I'VE BEEN DOING
THAT ALL MY LIFE.
00:19:32.63\00:19:34.80
GONNA KEEP DOING THAT."
00:19:34.80\00:19:36.73
PEOPLE WHO COME TO THIS
COUNTRY FIND IT STRANGE.
00:19:36.73\00:19:42.56
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO THINK
WHAT YOU WANT TO THINK BECAUSE
00:19:42.56\00:19:46.23
YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD.
00:19:46.23\00:19:49.90
THAT'S WHY
RELIGIOUS CULTS ARE SO BAD.
00:19:49.90\00:19:54.93
A RELIGIOUS CULT DOES NOT
BELIEVE IN FREEDOM, BUT THIS
00:19:54.93\00:20:02.20
IS THE GREAT WORD
HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
00:20:02.20\00:20:05.93
FREEDOM.
00:20:05.93\00:20:07.56
A RELIGIOUS CULT
SAYS, "STOP THINKING.
00:20:07.56\00:20:10.23
WE'LL THINK FOR YOU.
00:20:10.23\00:20:12.43
DON'T READ THOSE BOOKS.
00:20:12.43\00:20:14.06
DON'T THINK ALONG THAT LINE
BECAUSE WE'LL DO THE THINKING
00:20:14.06\00:20:17.90
FOR YOU."
00:20:17.90\00:20:19.06
BUT WE BELIEVE IN FREEDOM
BECAUSE WE'RE ACCOUNTABLE
00:20:19.06\00:20:23.63
TO GOD.
00:20:23.63\00:20:25.26
FREEDOM OF SPEECH, THE
RIGHT TO THINK AS WE CHOOSE.
00:20:25.26\00:20:28.70
OH, A CULT--A CULT
LEADER HATES TO HEAR THIS.
00:20:28.70\00:20:32.73
AND THE RIGHT TO
EXPRESS OUR BELIEFS.
00:20:32.73\00:20:35.10
MANY COUNTRIES, IF YOU
SAY SOMETHING AGAINST THE
00:20:35.10\00:20:37.66
GOVERNMENT, YOU GO TO PRISON.
00:20:37.66\00:20:42.33
SOME OF YOU FOLKS KNOW WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE YOU'VE
00:20:42.33\00:20:44.80
COME FROM THESE COUNTRIES WHERE
IF YOU SAY A WORD AGAINST THE
00:20:44.80\00:20:49.40
GOVERNMENT, THEY'RE GONNA
BE A KNOCKING ON THE DOOR.
00:20:49.40\00:20:54.36
WHEN THEY TAKE YOU AWAY,
THEY'RE GONNA TALK TO YOU.
00:20:54.36\00:20:59.96
HEAPS OF COUNTRIES
AROUND THE WORLD DON'T HAVE
00:20:59.96\00:21:02.46
THESE FREEDOMS.
00:21:02.46\00:21:03.86
THEY HAVE IT IN AUSTRALIA.
00:21:03.86\00:21:05.46
THEY HAVE IT IN GREAT BRITAIN.
00:21:05.46\00:21:06.70
THEY HAVE IT IN CANADA
AND NEW ZEALAND AND SOME
00:21:06.70\00:21:08.96
OTHER COUNTRIES, BUT LOTS OF
COUNTRIES DO NOT HAVE FREEDOM.
00:21:08.96\00:21:13.03
FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
00:21:13.03\00:21:15.33
SOME PEOPLE SAID TO ME, "OH,
IT'S DREADFUL TO SEE PEOPLE OUT
00:21:15.33\00:21:18.53
ON THE STREETS, PROTESTING
IN AMERICA AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR.
00:21:18.53\00:21:24.36
WE OUGHT TO LOCK
'EM UP," SOME FOLKS.
00:21:24.36\00:21:26.76
HEY, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT'S WHAT AMERICA IS
00:21:26.76\00:21:28.93
ALL ABOUT?
00:21:28.93\00:21:31.26
DON'T YOU KNOW AMERICA BELIEVES
IN STREET DEMONSTRATIONS.
00:21:31.26\00:21:35.73
YOU SAY, "ISN'T
THAT UN-AMERICAN?"
00:21:35.73\00:21:38.60
NO, THAT IS AMERICAN BECAUSE
AMERICA BELIEVES IN FREEDOM.
00:21:38.60\00:21:44.93
SOME PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, COME
ALONG HERE TO THIS GREAT LAND
00:21:44.93\00:21:49.63
AND THEY'RE
SCARED OF THE GOVERNMENT.
00:21:49.63\00:21:52.26
THIS LAND IS SO GREAT
THAT YOU CAN DISAGREE WITH
00:21:52.26\00:21:57.70
THE GOVERNMENT AND
SAY SO AND VOTE 'EM OUT.
00:21:57.70\00:22:03.16
BE NO COUPS IN AMERICA.
00:22:03.16\00:22:06.13
SO BE GLAD FOR FREEDOM.
00:22:06.13\00:22:09.26
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA
THAT BELIEVES IN FREEDOM.
00:22:09.26\00:22:13.76
THEY HAD NO FREEDOM, MY
FRIEND, IN NAZI GERMANY.
00:22:13.76\00:22:18.60
NO FREEDOM IN COMMUNIST RUSSIA.
00:22:18.60\00:22:23.30
NOW, THE MOST PRECIOUS FREEDOM
OF ALL IS FREEDOM TO WORSHIP
00:22:23.30\00:22:27.60
GOD ACCORDING TO THE
DICTATES OF YOUR CONSCIENCE.
00:22:27.60\00:22:32.63
WHY WAS AMERICA FOUNDED?
00:22:32.63\00:22:35.13
WELL, IT WASN'T LIKE
REALLY ANY OTHER COUNTRY.
00:22:35.13\00:22:38.10
PEOPLE CAME TO THIS LAND
TO GET AWAY FROM TYRANNY.
00:22:38.10\00:22:47.13
AND IF YOU STUDY THE HISTORY
OF EUROPE, YOU'LL FIND THERE WAS
00:22:47.13\00:22:52.63
TYRANNY IN EUROPE AND THERE WAS
TYRANNY EVEN IN BRITAIN AT ONE
00:22:52.63\00:22:59.13
STAGE AND IN HOLLAND.
00:22:59.13\00:23:01.40
AND THE PILGRIM FATHERS
CAME HERE BECAUSE THEY WANTED
00:23:01.40\00:23:06.20
TO WORSHIP GOD, NOT ACCORDING
TO WHAT THE CHURCH SAYS, BUT
00:23:06.20\00:23:12.80
ACCORDING TO WHAT GOD SAYS.
00:23:12.80\00:23:17.46
LISTEN TO THE BILL OF
RIGHTS, THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
00:23:17.46\00:23:21.83
LET ME SEE THE HANDS
OF THOSE HERE WHO KNOW
00:23:21.83\00:23:23.90
THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
00:23:23.90\00:23:26.03
PUT UP YOUR HANDS IF YOU KNOW.
00:23:26.03\00:23:27.90
MY AMERICAN FRIENDS, PUT YOUR
HANDS UP HIGH BECAUSE I CAN UP
00:23:27.90\00:23:31.36
YOU UP THE FRONT THEN TO SAY IT.
00:23:31.36\00:23:33.90
BUT NO, I'M SERIOUS.
00:23:33.90\00:23:34.66
PUT YOUR HANDS UP IF YOU KNOW
THE FIRST AMENDMENT SO I CAN
00:23:34.66\00:23:37.56
ASK YOU UP THE FRONT.
00:23:37.56\00:23:38.73
EVERYBODY OUGHT TO
KNOW THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
00:23:38.73\00:23:41.96
"CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO
LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT
00:23:41.96\00:23:49.26
OF RELIGION."
00:23:49.26\00:23:51.13
CONGRESS GOT NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS CHURCH.
00:23:51.13\00:23:55.63
"OR PROHIBITING THE
FREE EXERCISE THEREOF."
00:23:55.63\00:23:58.26
WE DON'T ASK THE
GOVERNMENT'S PERMISSION.
00:23:58.26\00:24:02.70
"OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM
OF SPEECH OR OF THE PRESS OR
00:24:02.70\00:24:07.20
OF THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE
PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE AND TO
00:24:07.20\00:24:11.03
PETITION THE GOVERNMENT
FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES."
00:24:11.03\00:24:15.13
THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT
TELL US ABOUT WORSHIPING GOD.
00:24:15.13\00:24:21.86
OVER IN GLENDALE, WE WERE
PUTTING ON A PROGRAM AND ONE
00:24:21.86\00:24:26.10
STAGE, THE CITY HEARD ABOUT IT,
AND THEY SAID, "YOU'RE GONNA BE
00:24:26.10\00:24:29.46
TELEVISING, YOU GOT
TO GET OUR PERMISSION."
00:24:29.46\00:24:32.36
WE SAID, "NO, WE DON'T BECAUSE
WE ARE PREACHING THE GOSPEL AND
00:24:32.36\00:24:37.60
YOUR AUTHORITY ENDS
WHERE OUR CHURCH BEGINS."
00:24:37.60\00:24:42.73
AND THEY SAID,
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
00:24:42.73\00:24:44.56
WE SAID, "YOU TALK TO
YOUR ATTORNEY AND WE'LL TALK
00:24:44.56\00:24:46.60
TO OUR."
00:24:46.60\00:24:47.56
THEY SAID, "YOU
DON'T NEED TO WORRY."
00:24:47.56\00:24:50.80
WE BELIEVE IN
FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
00:24:50.80\00:24:55.83
AND LET ME TELL
YOU FOLKS SOMETHING.
00:24:55.83\00:24:57.66
TELL YOU HOW GREAT AMERICA IS.
00:24:57.66\00:25:00.60
YOU GO TO LOTS OF COUNTRIES
IN THE WORLD AND YOU SEE MOSQUES
00:25:00.60\00:25:07.56
AND YOU SEE TEMPLES AND ALL
SORTS OF THINGS, BUT YOU DON'T
00:25:07.56\00:25:12.90
SEE ANY CHRISTIAN CHURCHES
BECAUSE THEY WON'T LET YOU
00:25:12.90\00:25:17.33
BUILD CHURCHES
IN THOSE COUNTRIES.
00:25:17.33\00:25:19.96
THEY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO
GO THERE AND PREACH THE GOSPEL.
00:25:19.96\00:25:23.10
I'VE GONE TO SOME OF THOSE
COUNTRIES AND I'VE GOT INTO
00:25:23.10\00:25:25.36
TROUBLE BECAUSE THEY
SAY, "YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT
00:25:25.36\00:25:29.20
TO PREACH."
00:25:29.20\00:25:31.23
BUT YOU COME TO THIS COUNTRY
AND THOSE SAME RELIGIONS HAVE
00:25:31.23\00:25:34.33
GOT BUILDINGS HERE.
00:25:34.33\00:25:36.00
THEY GOT 'EM EVERYWHERE.
00:25:36.00\00:25:38.60
AND PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, WE OUGHT
TO TELL 'EM IF WE CAN'T BUILD
00:25:38.60\00:25:43.53
CHURCHES IN THEIR COUNTRIES,
YOU CAN'T BUILD YOUR PLACES
00:25:43.53\00:25:48.50
HERE."
00:25:48.50\00:25:49.90
NO, THAT'D BE WRONG BECAUSE
AMERICA IS BETTER THAN WHAT
00:25:49.90\00:25:55.30
THEY ARE.
00:25:55.30\00:25:57.20
THEY DON'T
UNDERSTAND FREEDOM, BUT WE DO.
00:25:57.20\00:26:03.20
THEREFORE, I BELIEVE IN
THE AMERICA THAT BELIEVES
00:26:03.20\00:26:05.86
IN FREEDOM.
00:26:05.86\00:26:08.50
AND THANK GOD FOR AMERICA.
00:26:08.50\00:26:12.03
WE BELIEVE IN THE
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
00:26:12.03\00:26:14.63
YOU BETTER GET
THIS INTO YOUR MINDS.
00:26:14.63\00:26:16.60
REVELATION 17:1-6.
00:26:16.60\00:26:19.50
"ONE OF THE SEVEN ANGELS
WHO HAD THE SEVEN BOWLS CAME AND
00:26:19.50\00:26:22.56
SAID TO ME, 'COME, I WILL SHOW
YOU THE PUNISHMENT OF THE GREAT
00:26:22.56\00:26:26.80
PROSTITUTE, THE WHORE
WHO SITS ON MANY WATERS.
00:26:26.80\00:26:30.60
WITH HER THE KINGS OF THE
EARTH COMMITTED ADULTERY AND THE
00:26:30.60\00:26:34.06
INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH
WERE INTOXICATED WITH THE WINE
00:26:34.06\00:26:37.23
OF HER ADULTERIES."
00:26:37.23\00:26:39.20
THIS IS REVELATION 17,
THE LAST BOOK IN THE BIBLE.
00:26:39.20\00:26:42.90
"THEN THE ANGEL CARRIED ME AWAY
IN THE SPIRIT INTO A DESERT.
00:26:42.90\00:26:47.00
THERE I SAW A WOMAN SITTING
ON A SCARLET BEAST THAT WAS
00:26:47.00\00:26:50.30
COVERED WITH BLASPHEMOUS
NAMES AND HAD SEVEN HEADS
00:26:50.30\00:26:53.93
AND TEN HORNS.
00:26:53.93\00:26:55.26
THE WOMAN WAS DRESSED IN PURPLE
AND SCARLET, AND WAS GLITTERING
00:26:55.26\00:26:59.80
WITH GOLD,
PRECIOUS STONES, AND PEARLS.
00:26:59.80\00:27:03.80
SHE HELD A GOLDEN CUP IN
HER HAND, FILLED WITH THE
00:27:03.80\00:27:06.83
ABOMINABLE THINGS AND
THE FILTH OF HER ADULTERIES.
00:27:06.83\00:27:10.93
THIS TITLE WAS
WRITTEN ON HER FOREHEAD.
00:27:10.93\00:27:13.36
MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF
00:27:13.36\00:27:17.40
THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
00:27:17.40\00:27:19.46
THIS WOMAN IS THE CHURCH.
00:27:19.46\00:27:21.63
THIS BEAST IS THE STATE.
00:27:21.63\00:27:24.23
AND A WOMAN RIDING UPON THE
BEAST IS THE UNION OF CHURCH
00:27:24.23\00:27:28.73
AND STATE AND AMERICA WAS
FOUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO WANTED
00:27:28.73\00:27:32.83
FREEDOM AND THEY WANTED TO
GET AWAY FROM THAT OLD SYSTEM.
00:27:32.83\00:27:37.53
SEE, IN THE DARK AGES, FOR
MORE THAN A THOUSAND YEARS,
00:27:37.53\00:27:41.83
THE CHURCH OF ROME WAS
JOINED TO THE STATE AND MILLIONS
00:27:41.83\00:27:46.26
OF PEOPLE WERE TORTURED BY
THE CHURCH AND PUT TO DEATH.
00:27:46.26\00:27:50.73
THAT'S WHY AMERICA WAS FOUNDED.
00:27:50.73\00:27:53.80
TO GET AWAY FROM IT.
00:27:53.80\00:27:55.26
THERE ARE SOME
PEOPLE IN AMERICA WHO WANT
00:27:55.26\00:27:57.26
TO BRING IT BACK.
00:27:57.26\00:27:59.86
THERE ARE SOME TELEVISION
PREACHERS WHO WANT TO BRING
00:27:59.86\00:28:02.46
IT BACK.
00:28:02.46\00:28:03.60
THEY SAY, "WE'VE GOT TO HAVE
A CHRISTIAN NATION AND WE WANT
00:28:03.60\00:28:09.03
CHRISTIAN LEGISLATION."
00:28:09.03\00:28:11.00
THAT'S ANTICHRIST.
00:28:11.00\00:28:14.80
WE ARE CALLED FOR FREEDOM
TO BELIEVE WHAT GOD TELLS US
00:28:14.80\00:28:21.63
TO BELIEVE.
00:28:21.63\00:28:24.26
THANK GOD FOR AMERICA.
00:28:24.26\00:28:26.20
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA THAT UPHOLDS THE LAW.
00:28:26.20\00:28:33.40
LISTEN BECAUSE SOME OF YOU MAY
NOT LIKE WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY.
00:28:33.40\00:28:38.43
BUT HERE IT COMES JUST THE SAME.
00:28:38.43\00:28:41.30
WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS.
00:28:41.30\00:28:46.46
WE HAVE A CONSTITUTION.
00:28:46.46\00:28:50.40
WE HAVE A BILL OF RIGHTS.
00:28:50.40\00:28:54.03
WE ARE A NATION THAT DOESN'T
BELIEVE IN BREAKING THE LAW.
00:28:54.03\00:29:00.90
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
00:29:00.90\00:29:03.56
I WANT YOU TO COME OVER HERE TO
ROMANS 3:12 AND ONWARDS BECAUSE
00:29:03.56\00:29:09.00
IT TALKS ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T BELIEVE
00:29:09.00\00:29:12.53
IN THE LAW.
00:29:12.53\00:29:13.93
ROMANS 3:12 AND ONWARDS.
00:29:13.93\00:29:20.13
ROMANS 3:12 AND ONWARDS.
00:29:20.13\00:29:25.33
THIS DESCRIBES
A LAWLESS SOCIETY.
00:29:25.33\00:29:30.76
"THERE IS NO ONE WHO
UNDERSTANDS, NO ONE WHO
00:29:30.76\00:29:33.30
SEEKS GOD.
00:29:33.30\00:29:34.80
ALL HAVE TURNED AWAY."
00:29:34.80\00:29:37.66
VERSE 12.
00:29:37.66\00:29:38.66
"THEY HAVE TOGETHER BECOME
WORTHLESS; THERE IS NO ONE
00:29:38.66\00:29:41.43
WHO DOES GOOD, NOT EVEN ONE.
00:29:41.43\00:29:43.23
THEIR THROATS ARE OPEN GRAVES;
THEIR TONGUES PRACTICE DECEIT.
00:29:43.23\00:29:47.46
THE POISON OF
VIPERS IS ON THEIR LIPS.
00:29:47.46\00:29:50.23
THEIR MOUTHS ARE FULL
OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS.
00:29:50.23\00:29:53.06
THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO
SHED BLOOD; RUIN AND MISERY MARK
00:29:53.06\00:29:57.36
THEIR WAYS, AND THE WAY
OF PEACE THEY DO NOT KNOW.
00:29:57.36\00:30:00.66
THERE IS NO FEAR OF
GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES."
00:30:00.66\00:30:03.93
NO FEAR OF GOD.
00:30:03.93\00:30:06.40
IF THERE'S NO FEAR OF
GOD, THERE'S NO RESPECT OF MAN.
00:30:06.40\00:30:11.63
I WAS PLANNING TO GO TO A
CERTAIN COUNTRY AND THE MAN
00:30:11.63\00:30:17.13
FROM THAT
COUNTRY SAID THIS TO ME.
00:30:17.13\00:30:19.83
HE SAID, "BE CAREFUL BECAUSE
UNLESS SOMEBODY MEETS YOU,
00:30:19.83\00:30:26.40
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ALIVE.
00:30:26.40\00:30:28.83
THEY'RE GONNA KILL
YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE."
00:30:28.83\00:30:31.40
I SAID, "WHAT ABOUT THE POLICE?"
00:30:31.40\00:30:33.23
"THE POLICE
WILL PROBABLY DO IT."
00:30:33.23\00:30:36.30
THE WHOLE PLACE IS
FULL OF CRIME AND CHEATING,
00:30:36.30\00:30:40.86
MURDERS, GANGS.
00:30:40.86\00:30:47.30
THEY TALK ABOUT GOD TOO,
BUT THEY DON'T OBEY THE LAW.
00:30:47.30\00:30:56.90
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA THAT OBEYS THE LAW.
00:30:56.90\00:31:02.46
AMERICA HAS A CONSTITUTION
AND BILL OF RIGHTS BECAUSE
00:31:02.46\00:31:06.20
SHE ACKNOWLEDGES GOD.
00:31:06.20\00:31:07.50
LISTEN TO THIS, MY
ATHEISTIC BROTHER OR SISTER.
00:31:07.50\00:31:13.06
OCTOBER 12, 1778,
CONGRESS SAID THESE WORDS.
00:31:13.06\00:31:22.06
"WHEREAS TRUE RELIGION AND
GOOD MORALS ARE THE ONLY SOLID
00:31:22.06\00:31:30.16
FOUNDATION--ARE THE ONLY SOLID
FOUNDATIONS OF PUBLIC LIBERTY
00:31:30.16\00:31:36.56
AND HAPPINESS."
00:31:36.56\00:31:39.40
THIS MAY ASTOUND YOU.
00:31:39.40\00:31:40.90
BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE FREEDOM
AND YOU CAN'T HAVE A DEMOCRACY
00:31:40.90\00:31:46.03
UNLESS YOU'VE GOT A
TRUE RELIGION THAT LIFTS UP
00:31:46.03\00:31:51.70
THE PEOPLE, AN INTELLIGENT
POPULATION, A PEOPLE WHO KNOW
00:31:51.70\00:31:57.00
THE WORD OF GOD.
00:31:57.00\00:32:00.60
CONGRESS SAID, "EVERYTHING
WE'RE TRYING TO DO, EVERYTHING
00:32:00.60\00:32:05.43
WE'RE TRYING TO DO TO ESTABLISH
FREEDOM, IT IS BASED UPON
00:32:05.43\00:32:09.90
TRUE RELIGION."
00:32:09.90\00:32:13.80
TRUE MORALITY.
00:32:13.80\00:32:15.43
AND SO AMERICA HAS BEEN BASED
UPON TRUE RELIGION, A RELIGION
00:32:15.43\00:32:24.13
OF THE HEART THAT IS NOT
COERCED BY THE CHURCH OR BY
00:32:24.13\00:32:29.96
THE CONGRESS OR BY THE STATE.
00:32:29.96\00:32:34.66
NOW, SOME OF YOU FOLKS
HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT DISTURBED BY
00:32:34.66\00:32:40.53
MY ATTITUDES ON OCCASIONS.
00:32:40.53\00:32:44.73
YOU'VE SAID TO ME, "BUT WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING IN UN-AMERICAN."
00:32:44.73\00:32:48.96
NO, NO, NO.
00:32:48.96\00:32:51.90
PERHAPS SOME OF YOU
DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT AMERICA
00:32:51.90\00:32:54.50
IS ABOUT.
00:32:54.50\00:32:56.80
THAT IS WHY, MY BELOVED
AMERICAN FRIENDS, THAT IS WHY A
00:32:56.80\00:33:02.76
GREAT UPROAR CAME TO THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA WHEN IT WAS
00:33:02.76\00:33:08.30
DISCOVERED THAT AMERICANS
HAD BROKEN THE LAW AND WERE
00:33:08.30\00:33:14.83
COMMITTING ACTS OF TORTURE.
00:33:14.83\00:33:18.76
ABU GHRAIB.
00:33:18.76\00:33:22.20
PEOPLE SAID TO ME, "BUT NO,
WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THOSE
00:33:22.20\00:33:26.00
THINGS BECAUSE
WE HAVE THE RIGHT."
00:33:26.00\00:33:30.83
NOT AS AN AMERICAN.
00:33:30.83\00:33:35.93
AS A BARBARIAN,
BUT NOT AS AN AMERICAN.
00:33:35.93\00:33:40.60
NOT AS A LOYAL AMERICAN.
00:33:40.60\00:33:43.46
ACTS OF TORTURE ARE UNBIBLICAL,
UNCHRISTIAN, UN-AMERICAN, AND
00:33:43.46\00:33:50.70
ARE AGAINST THE AMERICAN FLAG.
00:33:50.70\00:33:56.53
HEY, CAN'T WE HAVE A FEW AMENS?
00:33:56.53\00:33:58.76
DON'T YOU BELIEVE THIS?
00:33:58.76\00:34:03.60
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.
00:34:03.60\00:34:05.23
THIS IS NOT RUSSIA.
00:34:05.23\00:34:07.23
THIS IS NOT NAZI GERMANY.
00:34:07.23\00:34:09.30
THIS IS THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA AND THAT IS WHY THE
00:34:09.30\00:34:15.20
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH WENT
00:34:15.20\00:34:22.06
ON AL JAZEERA TELEVISION,
ARAB TELEVISION, AND APOLOGIZED
00:34:22.06\00:34:29.00
TO THE MOSLEM WORLD.
00:34:29.00\00:34:33.16
HE DID HIS DUTY.
00:34:33.16\00:34:35.23
HE DID THE RIGHT
AND THE HONORABLE THING.
00:34:35.23\00:34:37.90
YOU SAY, "THOSE COUNTRIES
WOULD NOT APOLOGIZE TO US."
00:34:37.90\00:34:43.90
BUT WE'RE NOT THOSE COUNTRIES.
00:34:43.90\00:34:46.70
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.
00:34:46.70\00:34:48.40
DO YOU WANT TO
BE THOSE COUNTRIES?
00:34:48.40\00:34:52.16
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA THAT
BELIEVES IN THE CONSTITUTION,
00:34:52.16\00:34:58.93
THAT BELIEVES IN
THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
00:34:58.93\00:35:05.96
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA
THAT REWARDS HARD, HONEST WORK.
00:35:05.96\00:35:13.60
I WANT YOU TO COME OVER
HERE TO 2 THESSALONIANS 3.
00:35:13.60\00:35:17.46
2 THESSALONIANS 3:10-12.
00:35:17.46\00:35:24.36
2 THESSALONIANS 3:10-12.
00:35:24.36\00:35:31.66
I WANT EVERYBODY
LISTENING, HEAR THESE WORDS.
00:35:31.66\00:35:34.33
THESE ARE THE
INSPIRED WORDS OF THE BIBLE.
00:35:34.33\00:35:37.83
THESE ARE THE
WORDS OF SCRIPTURE.
00:35:37.83\00:35:40.80
"FOR EVEN WHEN WE WERE
WITH YOU, WE GAVE YOU THIS RULE.
00:35:40.80\00:35:43.96
'IF A MAN WILL NOT
WORK, HE SHALL NOT EAT.'"
00:35:43.96\00:35:48.23
IT DOESN'T SAY IF HE CAN'T WORK.
00:35:48.23\00:35:50.43
IT SAYS IF HE WON'T
WORK, HE SHALL NOT EAT.
00:35:50.43\00:35:54.30
"WE HEAR THAT SOME
AMONG YOU ARE IDLE.
00:35:54.30\00:35:57.70
THEY ARE NOT BUSY,
THEY ARE BUSYBODIES.
00:35:57.70\00:36:02.16
SUCH PEOPLE WE COMMAND AND
URGE IN THE LORD JESUS TO SETTLE
00:36:02.16\00:36:06.10
DOWN AND EARN
THE BREAD THEY EAT.
00:36:06.10\00:36:12.36
AS FOR YOU, BROTHERS, NEVER
TIRE OF DOING WHAT IS RIGHT."
00:36:12.36\00:36:17.06
THEN IT SAYS, VERSE 14,
"IF ANYONE DOES NOT OBEY OUR
00:36:17.06\00:36:20.66
INSTRUCTION IN THIS LETTER,
TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF HIM.
00:36:20.66\00:36:24.10
DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH HIM, IN
ORDER THAT HE MAY FEEL ASHAMED.
00:36:24.10\00:36:29.20
YET DO NOT REGARD HIM
AS AN ENEMY, BUT WARN HIM
00:36:29.20\00:36:32.36
AS A BROTHER."
00:36:32.36\00:36:34.20
I THANK GOD FOR AMERICA
FOR THE PROTESTANT WORK ETHIC.
00:36:34.20\00:36:41.63
YOU KNOW WHY THIS COUNTRY
BECAME THE GREATEST COUNTRY
00:36:41.63\00:36:44.40
IN THE WORLD?
00:36:44.40\00:36:46.30
IT IS BECAUSE OF THE
FAITH OF OUR FATHERS.
00:36:46.30\00:36:51.56
NOT THE FAITH OF THOSE WHO
DON'T BELIEVE IN OUR FATHERS.
00:36:51.56\00:36:55.73
THE PURITANS CAME HERE FLEEING
RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION BECAUSE
00:36:55.73\00:37:00.06
THEY WANTED RELIGIOUS LIBERTY,
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED IN
00:37:00.06\00:37:03.16
FREEDOM, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED
THAT WE WERE ACCOUNTABLE, FIRST
00:37:03.16\00:37:06.86
AND FOREMOST, NOT TO THE STATE.
00:37:06.86\00:37:08.96
PEOPLE SAY, "BUT NO, OUR FIRST
ALLEGIANCE IS TO THE STATE.
00:37:08.96\00:37:12.86
IF THE STATE TELLS ME TO DO
SOMETHING, THEN I WILL DO IT."
00:37:12.86\00:37:16.00
I WILL DO IT UNLESS IT
CONFLICTS WITH THE WORD OF GOD.
00:37:16.00\00:37:21.56
AND IF IT CONFLICTS WITH
THE WORD OF GOD, I WILL REFUSE
00:37:21.56\00:37:25.13
TO DO IT.
00:37:25.13\00:37:27.80
YOU HEAR THIS?
00:37:27.80\00:37:30.93
IT IS RIGHT TO DISOBEY AN
ORDER, EVEN IN THE MILITARY,
00:37:30.93\00:37:37.30
WHEN IT CONFLICTS
WITH THE WORD OF GOD.
00:37:37.30\00:37:40.06
GET THAT IN YOUR MIND.
00:37:40.06\00:37:42.60
THE PURITANS CAME HERE OFF
THE BOAT FROM ENGLAND, A BARREN
00:37:42.60\00:37:48.53
WILDERNESS, AWFUL SITUATION.
00:37:48.53\00:37:55.20
WHAT DID THEY DO?
00:37:55.20\00:37:57.16
WELL, A LOT OF THEM DIED,
BUT THEY WORKED IN A HOSTILE
00:37:57.16\00:38:02.10
ENVIRONMENT AND THEY
PLANTED CROPS AND THEY GREW INTO
00:38:02.10\00:38:06.23
A NATION.
00:38:06.23\00:38:07.36
AND THEY DID IT THROUGH
FEAR OF GOD AND BY HARD WORK.
00:38:07.36\00:38:14.86
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA OF HARD WORK.
00:38:14.86\00:38:20.40
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA OF THE
PIONEERS, EVEN THOSE WHO CAME
00:38:20.40\00:38:25.90
TO CALIFORNIA.
00:38:25.90\00:38:28.73
THEY WENT OUT INTO THE
WILDERNESS WITHOUT ANY HELP
00:38:28.73\00:38:32.43
FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND
WITH TWO GOOD HANDS AND A STRONG
00:38:32.43\00:38:36.53
BACK AND TWO FEET AND TWO
LEGS, THEY CARVED OUT A HOME
00:38:36.53\00:38:41.76
IN THE WILDERNESS.
00:38:41.76\00:38:46.06
I BELIEVE IN THAT AMERICA.
00:38:46.06\00:38:50.56
I LEARNED THE PROTESTANT
WORK ETHIC, THANKS BE TO GOD.
00:38:50.56\00:38:55.36
I SAY IT TO YOU YOUNG MEN
AND YOUNG WOMEN WHO STILL EXPECT
00:38:55.36\00:38:59.06
YOUR PARENTS TO
TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:38:59.06\00:39:03.10
HAVE SOME PRIDE.
00:39:03.10\00:39:05.36
HAVE SOME SHAME.
00:39:05.36\00:39:08.66
LEARN TO STAND ON
YOUR OWN TWO FEET.
00:39:08.66\00:39:12.36
I LEFT HOME WHEN I WAS 16,
TRAVELED 1,000 MILES AWAY FROM
00:39:12.36\00:39:16.93
HOME, GOT A JOB DRIVING A
BULLDOZER, AND WORKED 16 HOURS
00:39:16.93\00:39:22.20
A DAY FROM 4 IN THE MORNING
UNTIL 8 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
00:39:22.20\00:39:26.63
THAT'S HOW I
WENT THROUGH COLLEGE.
00:39:26.63\00:39:29.90
NOBODY OWES ME ANYTHING BECAUSE
IT WAS A PRIVILEGE TO WORK.
00:39:29.90\00:39:37.96
YOU SHOULD PITY THE PERSON
WHO DOESN'T HAVE A WORK ETHIC.
00:39:37.96\00:39:44.50
THE EARLY PIONEERS OF
AMERICA HADN'T HEARD ABOUT
00:39:44.50\00:39:49.53
ENTITLEMENTS, PENSIONS,
AND SOCIAL SECURITY, NOT THAT
00:39:49.53\00:39:55.60
I WISH TO DEGRADE THOSE
CONCEPTS OR ALL OF THEM.
00:39:55.60\00:40:07.33
ONE OF THE REASONS
RUSSIA COLLAPSED WAS BECAUSE THE
00:40:07.33\00:40:10.70
GOVERNMENT WAS THE EMPLOYER.
00:40:10.70\00:40:13.83
YOU WERE PAID WHETHER
YOU WORKED HARD OR HID BEHIND
00:40:13.83\00:40:17.63
THE SHED.
00:40:17.63\00:40:20.33
NO GOD, NO MOTIVATION.
00:40:20.33\00:40:22.93
THEY HAD A SAYING IN RUSSIA.
00:40:22.93\00:40:25.06
"WE PRETEND TO WORK AND
THEY PRETEND TO PAY US."
00:40:25.06\00:40:31.40
AND THAT'S WHY RUSSIA, AT
THE END OF COMMUNISM WHEN I WAS
00:40:31.40\00:40:35.90
THERE, IT WAS ABOUT THE POOREST
PLACE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
00:40:35.90\00:40:40.63
TWENTY DOLLARS A MONTH, PEOPLE
STARVING, NOTHING IN THE SHOPS.
00:40:40.63\00:40:45.93
WE PRETEND TO WORK.
00:40:45.93\00:40:47.60
THEY PRETEND TO PAY US.
00:40:47.60\00:40:49.26
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA THAT REWARDS HARD WORK.
00:40:49.26\00:40:57.00
THOSE OF YOU WHO SAY, "BUT
I CANNOT SUCCEED BECAUSE OF
00:40:57.00\00:41:02.33
MY COLOR," LOOK AT BEN CARSON,
A BLACK MAN BROUGHT UP WITHOUT
00:41:02.33\00:41:12.93
A FATHER, BUT A GOOD MOTHER,
BROUGHT UP IN A LITTLE HOUSE,
00:41:12.93\00:41:19.10
BUT HER MOTHER, A SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN, WHO
00:41:19.10\00:41:22.83
BELIEVE IN GOD AND
WHO BELIEVED IN HARD WORK.
00:41:22.83\00:41:28.46
BEN CARSON TODAY IS ONE
OF THE MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE
00:41:28.46\00:41:31.66
IN NORTH AMERICA,
A GREAT NEUROSURGEON.
00:41:31.66\00:41:37.90
THE WORLD LOVES HIM.
00:41:37.90\00:41:40.13
I BELIEVE, MY EXPERIENCE TELLS
ME, THAT ANYBODY IN AMERICA CAN
00:41:40.13\00:41:47.06
SUCCEED IF HE WANTS TO.
00:41:47.06\00:41:50.03
HEAR THIS?
00:41:50.03\00:41:51.50
COME ON.
00:41:51.50\00:41:52.76
I BELIEVE ANYBODY CAN
SUCCEED IN AMERICA WHO WANTS TO.
00:41:52.76\00:42:00.33
SO PLEASE DON'T COME TO
ME AND SAY, "OH GOODNESS,
00:42:00.33\00:42:04.06
YOU DON'T KNOW MY BACKGROUND."
00:42:04.06\00:42:05.66
YOU DON'T KNOW MINE.
00:42:05.66\00:42:07.66
MY BACKGROUND, MY ANCESTORS
WERE TAKEN TO AUSTRALIA
00:42:07.66\00:42:12.26
IN SHACKLES.
00:42:12.26\00:42:14.16
IT WAS CONVICTS FOR
STEALING A LOAF OF BREAD FROM
00:42:14.16\00:42:17.13
MOTHER ENGLAND.
00:42:17.13\00:42:18.83
THEY WERE FLOGGED
AND THEY WERE BEATEN.
00:42:18.83\00:42:23.56
BUT WHEN THEY GOT THERE,
THEY DIDN'T SIT AROUND WHINING.
00:42:23.56\00:42:27.90
THEY ROLLED UP THEIR SLEEVES.
00:42:27.90\00:42:30.66
AND GLORY BE TO GOD, THEY BUILT
ONE OF THE GREATEST NATIONS
00:42:30.66\00:42:33.40
WITH THE HIGHEST
STANDARD OF LIVING ON THE FACE
00:42:33.40\00:42:35.46
OF THE EARTH.
00:42:35.46\00:42:36.50
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA
THAT BELIEVES IN HARD WORK.
00:42:36.50\00:42:45.73
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA
THAT BELIEVES IN EQUALITY.
00:42:45.73\00:42:51.00
LISTEN TO THE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
00:42:51.00\00:42:53.06
"WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE
SELF-EVIDENT, THAT ALL MEN ARE
00:42:53.06\00:42:56.70
CREATED EQUAL, THAT THEY ARE
ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH
00:42:56.70\00:43:01.70
CERTAIN UNALIENABLE--WE'D
SAY INALIENABLE RIGHTS.
00:43:01.70\00:43:06.70
THAT AMONG THESE ARE
LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT
00:43:06.70\00:43:10.56
OF HAPPINESS."
00:43:10.56\00:43:12.13
GENESIS 1:27 SAYS THAT WE
WERE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
00:43:12.13\00:43:18.33
WE DIDN'T COME
DOWN FROM THE TREES.
00:43:18.33\00:43:20.40
WE CAME DOWN FROM GOD.
00:43:20.40\00:43:21.53
WE DON'T TRACE OUR
ANCESTRY BACK TO MONKEYS.
00:43:21.53\00:43:24.66
WE BELIEVE IN AN ADAM AND
EVE IN THE GARDEN AND WE BELIEVE
00:43:24.66\00:43:29.40
THAT WE ARE SONS AND DAUGHTERS
OF GOD WHETHER WE ARE WHITE,
00:43:29.40\00:43:32.96
WHETHER WE ARE BLACK,
OR WHETHER WE ARE BROWN.
00:43:32.96\00:43:37.06
NOW THIS WONDERFUL DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE IS SOMEWHAT
00:43:37.06\00:43:43.20
PARADOXICAL BECAUSE SOME OF THE
FOUNDING FATHERS OF THE NATION
00:43:43.20\00:43:49.10
KEPT SLAVES.
00:43:49.10\00:43:51.03
SO THEY SAID, "ALL MEN
ARE CREATED EQUAL EXCEPT
00:43:51.03\00:43:53.53
THE BLACKS."
00:43:53.53\00:43:55.90
AND THEN IN 1864, THERE CAME
A MAN, 1865, THERE CAME A MAN
00:43:55.90\00:44:03.60
OUT OF THE WILDERNESS,
OUT OF THE WILDERNESS.
00:44:03.60\00:44:07.50
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
00:44:07.50\00:44:11.30
HE SAID, "I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT
GOD HAS MADE SOME PEOPLE EQUAL,
00:44:11.30\00:44:16.76
MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS."
00:44:16.76\00:44:20.23
TODAY, WE BELIEVE IN EQUALITY.
00:44:20.23\00:44:24.26
THE BIBLE TEACHES IT.
00:44:24.26\00:44:25.53
BLACKS, WHITES, BROWNS,
ALL ARE PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT.
00:44:25.53\00:44:30.36
IN THE HEART OF AMERICA,
THERE IS AN ABIDING DISTRUST
00:44:30.36\00:44:33.83
OF KINGS AND HIERARHIES.
00:44:33.83\00:44:36.86
AN ENGLISH PAMPHLET,
DECEMBER 17, 1769 SAID THIS.
00:44:36.86\00:44:41.60
"DIVIDED AS THEY ARE INTO A
THOUSAND FORMS OF POLICY AND
00:44:41.60\00:44:44.86
RELIGION, THEY EQUALLY
DETEST THE PAGEANTRY OF A KING
00:44:44.86\00:44:50.70
AND THE SUPERCILIOUS
HYPOCRISY OF A BISHOP."
00:44:50.70\00:44:54.33
I LIKE THAT.
00:44:54.33\00:44:55.80
THIS COUNTRY, GLORY BE TO
GOD, HAS NO KINGS, NO QUEENS,
00:44:55.80\00:45:03.03
NO PRINCES, NO PRINCESSES,
NO LORDS, NO LADIES, NO BARONS,
00:45:03.03\00:45:10.40
NO DUKES, NO
VISCOUNTS, NO EARLS, NO KNIGHTS.
00:45:10.40\00:45:18.10
THANK GOD.
00:45:18.10\00:45:21.26
AND NO HIERARCHIES.
00:45:21.26\00:45:24.06
HIERARCHIES ARE UN-AMERICAN.
00:45:24.06\00:45:30.03
YOU SAY, "BUT I BELIEVE
IN," WELL, YOU BETTER LOOK AT
00:45:30.03\00:45:33.60
YOURSELF TO SEE IF
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT COUNTRY.
00:45:33.60\00:45:37.33
I DON'T BELIEVE IN HIERARCHIES
BECAUSE THE BIBLE CONDEMNS
00:45:37.33\00:45:42.86
HIERARCHIES.
00:45:42.86\00:45:46.10
AND AMERICA DOES NOT
BELIEVE IN A CLASS SYSTEM.
00:45:46.10\00:45:51.63
EVERY PERSON IS IMPORTANT.
00:45:51.63\00:45:54.03
I LIKE THE AUSTRALIAN
EXPRESSION, "JACK'S AS GOOD
00:45:54.03\00:45:57.26
AS HIS MASTER."
00:45:57.26\00:46:00.50
MARTIN LUTHER SAID, "A MAN'S
CHARACTER IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT
00:46:00.50\00:46:07.03
THAN THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN."
00:46:07.03\00:46:10.03
I BELIEVE, CHURCH
MEMBERS AND CHURCH LEADERS,
00:46:10.03\00:46:16.23
IN GENDER EQUALITY.
00:46:16.23\00:46:22.06
WHEN I FIRST WENT TO RUSSIA
AND I WAS FETED AND DINED AS
00:46:22.06\00:46:28.63
SOMEONE SPECIAL, THE MINISTERS
ATE WITH ME AND THE LADIES SAT
00:46:28.63\00:46:36.23
IN THE KITCHEN IN RUSSIA.
00:46:36.23\00:46:39.80
I PUT A STOP TO
THAT STRAIGHTAWAY.
00:46:39.80\00:46:42.03
I SAID, "WHAT'S
WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
00:46:42.03\00:46:44.53
DON'T YOU BELIEVE?"
00:46:44.53\00:46:45.80
I WAS TALKING TO
THE CHURCH LEADERS.
00:46:45.80\00:46:47.56
"DON'T YOU
BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE?"
00:46:47.56\00:46:49.53
SO I SAID, "LADIES, COME ON IN."
00:46:49.53\00:46:51.43
AND THEY'VE BEEN
COMING IN EVER SINCE.
00:46:51.43\00:46:53.66
THEY'VE BEEN
COMING IN LIKE A FLOOD.
00:46:53.66\00:46:57.70
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA THAT
BELIEVES IN EQUALITY BECAUSE
00:46:57.70\00:47:03.20
THESE CONCEPTS ARE
BASED ON THE BIBLE.
00:47:03.20\00:47:06.93
YOU DON'T HAVE THEM
IN A LOT OF COUNTRIES.
00:47:06.93\00:47:09.00
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TOO FAR.
00:47:09.00\00:47:11.43
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA THAT BELIEVES IN HOPE,
00:47:11.43\00:47:15.26
THAT EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE,
THAT THE BEST IS STILL TO COME.
00:47:15.26\00:47:20.00
I WANT YOU TO COME
OVER HERE TO ROMANS 8.
00:47:20.00\00:47:22.16
THIS IS PRETTY BEAUTIFUL.
00:47:22.16\00:47:23.53
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA THAT BELIEVES IN HOPE.
00:47:23.53\00:47:27.40
SURE, WE'RE IN A
RECESSION, BUT LET'S TALK HOPE.
00:47:27.40\00:47:30.80
ROMANS 8:22 AND ONWARDS.
00:47:30.80\00:47:33.43
"WE KNOW THE WHOLE OF CREATION
HAS BEEN GROANING AS IN THE
00:47:33.43\00:47:37.16
PAINS OF CHILDBIRTH
RIGHT UP TO THE PRESENT TIME.
00:47:37.16\00:47:40.50
NOT ONLY SO, BUT WE OURSELVES,
WHO HAVE THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THE
00:47:40.50\00:47:43.40
SPIRIT, GROAN INWARDLY AS WE
WAIT EAGERLY FOR OUR ADOPTION
00:47:43.40\00:47:47.16
AS SONS, THE
REDEMPTION OF OUR BODIES.
00:47:47.16\00:47:49.90
FOR IN THIS HOPE WE WERE SAVED.
00:47:49.90\00:47:52.96
BUT HOPE THAT IS
SEEN IS NO HOPE AT ALL.
00:47:52.96\00:47:55.50
WHO HOPES FOR
WHAT HE ALREADY HAS?
00:47:55.50\00:47:57.90
BUT IF WE HOPE FOR WHAT WE
DO NOT YET HAVE, WE WAIT FOR IT
00:47:57.90\00:48:02.13
PATIENTLY."
00:48:02.13\00:48:03.86
HOPE IS A CHRISTIAN CONCEPT.
00:48:03.86\00:48:06.96
THE PURITANS AND THE PIONEERS
WERE BROUGHT UP ON THE GOSPEL
00:48:06.96\00:48:10.56
OF HOPE.
00:48:10.56\00:48:11.83
THINGS WILL BE BETTER.
00:48:11.83\00:48:13.26
THE TWIN TOWERS WERE
BLOWN UP BY THE TERRORISTS.
00:48:13.26\00:48:16.33
AMERICANS SAY, "ALL RIGHT,
WE WILL BUILD BIGGER AND BETTER.
00:48:16.33\00:48:21.90
WE WILL NOT BE DEFEATED."
00:48:21.90\00:48:23.76
THINGS ARE DIFFICULT NOW.
00:48:23.76\00:48:25.66
WE'RE HAVING AN ECONOMY
THAT SEEMS TO HAVE PROBLEMS, BUT
00:48:25.66\00:48:30.33
IT'LL BE BETTER TOMORROW.
00:48:30.33\00:48:32.53
CANCER IS RAVAGING MILLIONS,
BUT WE WILL FIND A CURE.
00:48:32.53\00:48:37.20
THERE'S ALWAYS
TOMORROW AND WE WILL HAVE HOPE.
00:48:37.20\00:48:42.13
SO I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA THAT TALKS HOPE.
00:48:42.13\00:48:46.63
IT'S GOOD WORKING WITH
AMERICANS BECAUSE ON THE WHOLE,
00:48:46.63\00:48:50.23
THEY'RE NOT
PROFESSIONAL WET BLANKETS.
00:48:50.23\00:48:53.00
YOU GET IN THE PRESENCE OF
SOME PEOPLE IN SOME COUNTRIES,
00:48:53.00\00:48:55.73
THEY'LL TELL YOU A MILLION
REASONS WHY IT CAN'T BE DONE.
00:48:55.73\00:48:59.76
BUT I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA
OF CAN DO, THAT BY GOD'S GRACE
00:48:59.76\00:49:04.30
WE CAN DO ANYTHING.
00:49:04.30\00:49:06.80
NOW COME BACK TO THE TEXT.
00:49:06.80\00:49:08.30
THINK ABOUT IT.
00:49:08.30\00:49:09.66
"IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE
CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE
00:49:09.66\00:49:14.63
THEMSELVES AND PRAY, SEEK
MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR
00:49:14.63\00:49:17.96
WICKED WAYS, THEN WILL I HEAR
FROM HEAVEN, 'FORGIVE THEIR SIN
00:49:17.96\00:49:23.53
AND HEAL THEIR LAND.'" I
HAVE A STRONG WORD FOR YOU.
00:49:23.53\00:49:29.63
I BELIEVE--I
DON'T SAY THIS GLADLY.
00:49:29.63\00:49:33.60
I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SLIPPING
AWAY LIKE A SHIP THAT IS CAST
00:49:33.60\00:49:38.26
HER MOORINGS, THAT WE ARE
ADRIFT ON A TURBULENT OCEAN.
00:49:38.26\00:49:44.90
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA OF AMERICA.
00:49:44.90\00:49:50.76
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICA OF
THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL
00:49:50.76\00:49:54.66
OF RIGHTS.
00:49:54.66\00:49:56.86
I BELIEVE IN THE
AMERICA OF BELIEF.
00:49:56.86\00:49:59.86
IT IS TIME FOR US AS AMERICANS
TO RETURN TO GOD AND THE TRUTHS
00:49:59.86\00:50:06.90
THAT MADE AMERICA A
SHINING LIGHT ON A HILL.
00:50:06.90\00:50:12.36
AND SO I SAY TO YOU TODAY, "AS
AMERICA DOES THAT, AS AMERICANS
00:50:12.36\00:50:20.46
DO THAT, WE CAN
SAY, 'GOD BLESS AMERICA.
00:50:20.46\00:50:26.76
GOD SHED HIS LIGHT ON
THEE.'" I'M GOING TO ASK THAT
00:50:26.76\00:50:32.40
BEAUTIFUL LADY TO
COME AND SING THAT SONG.
00:50:32.40\00:50:35.93
ALWAYS BLESSES ME.
00:50:35.93\00:50:37.33
LILA, COME AND SING TO US.
00:50:37.33\00:50:40.80
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
00:50:40.80\00:50:46.50
AND MERTA'S GOING TO
ACCOMPANY ON THE KEYBOARD.
00:50:48.33\00:50:50.76

AS AMERICA TURNS TO YOU AGAIN
HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE
00:54:14.50\00:54:20.50

YOU, BASED UPON BELIEF IN THE
00:54:20.50\00:54:26.40
CREATOR, WHO'S GIVEN TO
EVERY PERSON CERTAIN RIGHTS.
00:54:26.40\00:54:31.46
WE THANK YOU TODAY THAT THROUGH
CHRIST EVERY PERSON IS EQUAL.

LIBERTY AND GOODNESS THAT
WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO COME HERE,
00:54:38.96\00:54:43.93
NOT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT
GIVES US THE RIGHT, BUT THE
00:54:43.93\00:54:46.30
GOVERNMENT HERE IS WISE ENOUGH
TO RECOGNIZE THE RIGHT THAT
00:54:46.30\00:54:49.93
EVERY PERSON CAN WORSHIP
GOD ACCORDING TO THE DICTATES OF
00:54:49.93\00:54:54.33
THEIR CONSCIENCES.
00:54:54.33\00:54:56.73
WE PRAY TODAY, OUR FATHER,
IN JESUS' NAME THAT YOU WILL
00:54:56.73\00:55:00.10

AND MIGHT IT BE THAT THERE'LL
BE A GREAT MOVING TOWARDS GOD
00:55:12.66\00:55:16.33
AS PEOPLE WILL RECOGNIZE THAT
THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE RE
00:55:16.33\00:55:19.06
IMPORTANT THAN POLITICS
AND GETTING REELECTED, AND THAT
00:55:19.06\00:55:22.76
IS THE WELL-BEING
OF THIS GREAT NATION.
00:55:22.76\00:55:27.96

OVER US AS A CHURCH AND FORGIVE
00:55:27.96\00:55:31.66
US FOR OUR SINS.
00:55:31.66\00:55:34.00
AND MIGHT IT BE, OUR FATHER,
THAT ACCORDING TO YOUR RICHES
00:55:34.00\00:55:37.03
AND GLORY, YOU WILL HELP
US TO RECAPTURE THE FAITH OF
00:55:37.03\00:55:41.26
THE PILGRIM FATHERS.
00:55:41.26\00:55:44.16

CHURCH HERE IN THE GREAT LAND
00:55:55.56\00:55:59.20
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
